With the fragrance industry expected to be worth an enormous $92 billion by 2024, there is big money to be made from scents. As the fashion and marketing industry moves away from targeting men and women and out a more inclusive, non-gendered approach, fragrance companies are doing the exact same --- creating products that can be worn happily by all genders. The smells we’re drawn to are inherently universal, across all genders and including all noses. With this in mind, we tested our noses against three of the brands that have made a play for gender neutrality.
Eccentric Molecules The unique selling point of Eccentric Molecules is that it’s designed to smell completely different on every wearer, reacting with our natural scents to create a unique blend. With potential for sharing with a loved one, their packaging is a practical, if a little unromantic, simple bottle. Still, upon opening their best seller “Molecule 01”, the journey begins. Upon first spray, the overwhelming scent is of alcohol, but it soon settles into a barely --- there smell that recalls soft leather and feels surprisingly soothing on skin. Top Scent: Molecule 01, 72 for 100ml
Clean Reserve Clean Reserve smells like it sounds --- bright, fresh scents that would appeal to those who prefer light smell. It is also perfect for keeping in your gym or day bag to freshen up yourself. Packaging feels weighty and luxurious --- without compromising sustainability --- the stopper (塞子) is made from sustainability-managed forest wood, and even the alcohol in the fragrance is derived from corn. Top Scent: Rain, 82 for100ml
Laboratory Perfumes Packaged in chemistry-class bottles, this brand’s latest collection is strongly inspired by Britain and its natural abundance of herbs and flowers. What results are grown-up, powerful scents. Our clear favourites from the collection couldn’t be more different --- “Samphire” is a refreshing coastal scent mixed with toe, while “Atlas” is a strong blend of wine and tobacco, an easy signature scent for day and night with minimal reapplication needed. Top Scent: Atlas, 65 for 100ml
21. The purpose of Paragraph 1 is ______.
A. to analyze how smells influence us
B. to justify the development of fragrance industry
C. to inform the readers of a latest fashion trend
D. to sell the idea of non-gendered fragrance
22. The Common feature of Eccentric Molecules and Clean Reserve is ______.
A. a soft and light scent B. sustainable packaging made from wood
C. practical and simple packaging D. smelling totally different on every user
23. For a customer who prefers strong mature smells that last a whole day, which product should he choose
A. Molecule 01. B. Rain C. Atlas. D. Samphire.

1.War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells Published in 1897, this science fiction has inspired countless novels since then and still continues to fascinate its readers. The unnamed hero is one of the first witnesses of a strange looking meteorite (陨石) in England. Not long after, it is apparent that the meteorite is Martian and an invasion is around the corner. What is it like for man, the dominator of earth, to be dominated by a race of aliens
2. The Dune Saga (沙丘) by Frank Herbert Published from 1965-1985, the Dune Saga contains 6 novels and is widely considered the greatest epic of science fiction. Instead of sticking to a single character, these novels begin with Paul Atreides, first a son of a noble family and then the emperor of the known universe. The novels follow Paul's descendants (后裔), ending by revealing the fate of his planet, Arrakis, and the fate of his generations.
3. The Space Trilogy by C.s. Lewis This series contains three books that were published from 1938-1945. Lewis explores the nature of humanity by taking the main character, Dr. Elwin Ransom, outside of Earth and to the planets of Mars and Venus. On these planets, the local residents are not corrupted (腐败), but corruption from Earth threatens them. When Ransom returns to Earth in the final book, corruption even greater than when he left awaits him there.
4. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury The future society in the priceless 1953 novel is made worse by technology. Ray Bradbury discusses the importance of books by using such a society that burns them. The main character, Guy Montag, is a fireman, someone who burns books and the houses that contain them. The culture obsesses (着迷) with the society of television but doesn't realize the value—and the freedom—that comes with literature.
21. Where is Dr. Elwin Ransom originally from
A. Earth. B. Venus. C. Mars. D. Arrakis.
22. Which book explores the potential for technology to make humans less free

An old man and his son were driving their donkey to a neighboring fair to sell him. They had

pole struggled to carry him on their shoulders over a bridge near the entrance to the town.

When I was a little girl, a couple in our community went through a tragedy. They lost a young child and were in deep despair. Shortly afterward, my mother ran into the father at the local supermarket. He turned to my mother and said, “Your husband saved our life. He was the one more than anyone else who helped us get through this incredible loss. "
My mother wanted to know what message of solace was given to lift them from the depths of despair. So back at home, she asked my father about their conversation numerous times, but my father insisted that he had said nothing.
A few weeks later the couple came over to our home. After sitting down for a few minutes, my mother gently said, “You told me that my husband helped you the most when you went through your awful sadness. What did he say "
“Rebbetzin, you husband did not say one word. He just came over to our home and walked over to me without saying anything. And then he reached over to me, took my hands into his and
hugged me. I looked up and saw tears falling from his eyes. You cannot imagine what that felt like.
Your husband felt my pain. I was not sitting alone with my suffering. "
My mother was quiet, absorbing the message this man was giving.
“No, your husband did not speak. I didn't need him to give me words. I needed his heart and
soul."
When I recall this story, I realize the truth.
When having someone in our lives who is going through difficult, we are often at a loss. What do we say How do we make it all better What is the greatest git we can give to our loved ones
We tend to think that we must fill space with words. But when you want to give of yourself,
give a listening heart. Sometimes a person in pain needs you to stay silent. Just now that you are
there for them. Perhaps you can't fix anything or take away the pain, but you can feel it. With the
silence comes sympathy, understanding and empathy. And you share the load.

The new member to the UAE'S astronaut training program, the first female Emirati(阿联酋)
astronaut, hopes that her mechanical engineering degree will be her ticket to the moon.
Nora AlMatrooshi and her fellow trainee astronaut Mohammad AlMulla were selected from 400 highly qualified candidates to lead the nation's 9.8 million citizens into space.
The two are looking forward to the laborious 30-month program ahead of them which has already begun with them getting their divers' licences, picking up the Russian language and coaching
for their many media interviews and will move on to flight and weightlessness school at the Johnson Space Centre in Texas and eventually cruel survival training.
"They will need mechanical engineers to build a base on the moon," says the 28-year-old, who
represented her nation at the Mathematics Olympics and worked as an engineer at the National
petroleum Construction Company.
AlMatrooshi says she has dreamed of the stars since kindergarten, when her teacher set up the
classroom as the Lunar surface and the five-year-old future astronaut constructed a cardboard moonbase. That early longing to explore space charted her degree choice.
“I actually went after it. I chose to study a degree in mechanical engineering because of a
documentary I watched when I was in high school. It was about a group of astronauts going to the
International Space Station and the role of the mechanical engineer was highlighted," she says.
Leading big construction projects in the desert has helped equip the daughter of two academics—a PhD father and English teacher mother—for Lunar construction.
AlMarooshi's fellow trainee astronaut, UAE police helicopter pilot AlMulla, meanwhile says
astronaut training has been “a big career change".
“I spent 15 years qualifying to be a pilot including training in Australia for my commercial pilot's licence," says the father of two. “As a pilot you get used to mastering everything suddenly "I'm changing my path."
"I'm a big fan of SpaceX. The rockets and even the fancy space suits. And hopefully all four of us—and all the astronauts who come after us will get to be a part of future missions—perhaps even to the moon eventually."
24. What preparation have they made before the training program
A. They have grasped their native language. B. They have had cruel survival training
C. They have leaned 1o deal with the press. D. They have done some weightless training
25. Which is the major factor for AlMtrooshi to be a member of the training program
A. She got help from her academic parents.
B. She has had a big dream since her childhood
C. She has experience in big construction project.
D. She was the winner of the Mathematics Olympics.
26.What does the underlined part "I'm changing my path" refer to
A. I'll be a master of life. B. I'm an enthusiast for SpaceX.
C. I'm settling my new problem. D. I'm starting a new life from scratch.
27. Which of the following is the suitable title for the text
A. The fan of the Space X B. Dream and achievements
C. Passion and preparations D. Future astronauts training program

To understand the impact of ice melting around the world, we first have to understand what an
ice sheet actually is. Covering 5.4 million square miles in Antarctica and 656,000 square miles in
Greenland, an ice sheet is a huge mass of glacial (冰川) land. This ice, home to a group of diverse
animals, is now melting at a rate that cannot support the life it currently holds. Many of the creatures
rely on ice sheets as land for resting, hunting and protection, yet as the size decreases, they are
forced out of their natural habitats in search of other land on which to live. Often this means long,
drawn-out journeys to search for food and an imbalanced ecosystem arises when different species
are forced together onto the coast.
Since the 1990s, the caribou (北美驯鹿) population has declined by 56 percent — climate
change has caused warmer temperatures over winter and rainfall instead of snow, which freezes
more quickly underfoot and makes it harder to walk and search for food. In the summer, permafrost
(永久冻土) melts and releases previously trapped diseases which the caribous have no modern
immunity (免疫力)to.
In addition, the coming threat of sea levels rising if the ice caps were to disappear is ever
looming. If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted, the sea level would rise around 6 metres, and if the
Antarctic Ice Sheet melted, sea levels would rise by around 20 feet Since 1880, sea levels have risen
about eight inches, three of which we’ve gained over the last 25 years. This seemingly small amount
has already caused dangerous flooding, loss of farmland and more deadly hurricanes.
While we’re still a long way from losing the ice sheet all together, we've already lost too much,
and if we don't take climate changes seriously now, we will surely hit the point of no return.
24. What does the author plan to do in Paragraph 1
A. To tell what an ice sheet actually is.
B. To show serious impacts of ice melting.
C. To compare the ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland.
D. To introduce the practical ways of protecting the ice sheet.
25. Which of the following accurately explains the sharp decrease of the caribous
A. Food shortage. B. Deadly diseases.
C. Much rainfall. D. Imbalanced ecosystem.
26. What does the underlined word “1ooming" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Lost to the world. B. Rising to the surface.
C. Exposed to the virus. D. Coming to the end.
27. What can be the best title for the article
A. Warning of the Climate Changes B. Risks of the Ice Melting
C. Cause of the Climate Changes D. Possibilities of the Ice Melting

On James Owen's 70th birthday, he saw a video of himself walking slowly to the podium (讲台) where he was giving a talk, his feet hardly off the ground. “I looked like an old man,” said Owen, who built a successful career on Wall Street. Even worse, he felt like an old man.
He was about 25 pounds overweight and he had chronic trouble with his back,knees,and shoulders.But instead of giving in to age,Owen decided to set an ambitious five-year goal:He wanted to be pain-free,and he decided the way to get there was through exercise-even though at the time he couldn't do a single push-up.
Owen began his new exercise plan by walking,though he started huffing and puffing after five minutes.But that didn't discourage him. He kept at the walks every day, along with some stretching.Once he had those basics down, he started weight lifting and hired a personal trainer to teach him and design a routine he could follow on his own. The last piece was finding other activities he enjoyed, which turned out to be cycling and swimming.
In less than five years,Owen was able to do three sets of 50 push-ups each and walk for miles each day. And yes, he was free of aches and pains. “Aging well is only about 20 to 25 percent genes, and the rest is lifestyle,” he says.
Owen used his experience to write a book called Just Move! A New Approach to Fitness After 50,in which he details how older adults can safely get off the couch and add more movement to their lives. “Think of it as movement, not exercise, just get started,” he says. “The key is slow and steady progress.”
Now 81 and retired, Owen exercises an hour a day, six days a week. “It is the best investment I've ever made in my life,” he says.
4. Why did Owen decide to set a five-year goal
A. To give a talk.
B. To build a career.
C. To lose weight.
D. To keep healthy.
5. How can Owen's exercising process be described
A Boring and painstaking.
B. Slow but productive.
C. Tough and discouraging.
D. complex but ineffective.
6. From Owen's story, we can learn that______.
A. it's better to get started earlier
B. lifestyle is vital for one's health
C. genes play a key role in aging well
D. successful careers need investment
7. The author wrote the article to______.
A. promote Owen's new book
B. offer ways to relieve pain
C. encourage old people to work out
D. present health problems of the old

Shrinking Storm on Jupiter(木星)
It's snowing, but the clouds are red. The wind howls at 400 miles an hour, faster than a hurricane. And it's colder than the North Pole. Named the Great Red Spot, this storm is on Jupiter, the largest planet that goes around the Sun. The storm is shrinking. No one knows why -- or what it will do next.
Astronomers discovered the Great Red Spot by looking at Jupiter through telescopes. The spot,
once estimated to be 25,500 miles across, was just 10,250 miles wide when the Hubble Space Telescope last observed it. "It's at the smallest size that we’ve ever seen." says Dr. Amy Simon, an
astronomer who studies the storm. It's also changing shape, looking more like a circle than is usual
oval.
Jupiter differs greatly from Earth. It’s made mostly of hydrogen and helium (氦). But most of
hydrogen and helium on Jupiter is not in the form of gas. Instead, Jupiter's great gravity squeezes the hydrogen and helium, turning most of these elements into a liquid. Only the outer part of Jupiter is gas. And that's' where the Great Red Spot is. No one knows why the Great Red Spot is red.
Like Jupiter's air, the spot is made mostly of hydrogen and helium gases. But they have no color. So something else must color the spot red.
Mysteries abound about the spot, such as what powers it and why it is so red. Now another one
arises. The Great Red Spot has lasted longer than any storm on Earth. On Earth, hurricanes weaken
when they move from sea to land, and when they move north or south. Neither of these things
happens on Jupiter. Yet the storm is shrinking, “Could it disappear " asks Dr. Simon. “Would I bet
money on it one way or the other Probably not."
24. What do we learn about the Great Red Spot
A. It is getting smaller and rounder. B. It is getting colder and faster.
C. It is getting higher and more oval. D. It is getting redder and lighter.
25. What can we learn about Jupiter from this article
A. It is bigger than the Sun. B. It has slight gravity.
C. It contains liquid and gas. D. It usually looks red.
26. What does the underlined word “abound" mean in the last paragraph
A. Get solved finally. B. Go missing abruptly.
C. Exist numerously. D. Decrease gradually.
27. What is Dr. Simon's attitude towards the disappearance of the Great Red Spot
A. Hopeful. B. Confident. C. Worried. D. Doubtful.

Albert Einstein’s 1915 masterpiece “The Foundation of the General Theory of Relativity” is the first and still the best introduction to the subject, and I recommend it as such to students. But it probably wouldn’t be publishable in a scientific journal today.
Why not After all, it would pass with flying colors the tests of correctness and significance. And while popular belief holds that the paper was incomprehensible to its first readers, in fact many papers in theoretical physics are much more difficult.
As the physicist Richard Feynman wrote, “There was a time when the newspapers said that only 12 men understood the theory of relativity. I do believe there might have been a time when only one man did, because he was the only guy who caught on, before he wrote his paper. But after people read the paper a lot understood the theory of relativity in some way or other, certainly more than 12.”
No, the problem is its style. It starts with a leisurely philosophical discussion of space and time and then continues with an exposition of known mathematics. Those two sections, which would be considered extraneous today, take up half the paper. Worse, there are zero citations of previous scientists’ work, nor are there any graphics. Those features might make a paper not even get past the first editors.
A similar process of professionalization has transformed other parts of the scientific landscape. Requests for research time at major observatories or national laboratories are more rigidly structured. And anything involving work with human subjects, or putting instruments in space, involves piles of paperwork.
We see it also in the Regeneron Science Talent Search, the Nobel Prize of high school science competitions. In the early decades of its 78-year history, the winning projects were usually the sort of clever but naive, amateurish efforts one might expect of talented beginners working on their own. Today, polished work coming out of internships (实习) at established laboratories is the norm (标准；规范).
These professionalizing tendencies are a natural consequence of the explosive growth of modern science. Standardization and system make it easier to manage the rapid flow of papers, applications and people. But there are serious downsides. A lot of unproductive effort goes into jumping through bureaucratic hoops(繁文缛节), and outsiders face entry barriers at every turn.
Of course, Einstein would have found his way to meeting modern standards and publishing his results. Its scientific core wouldn’t have changed, but the paper might not be the same taste to read.

All melodies(旋律) and harmony in Western music is typically built from just 12 notes.
Whether it's a splendid symphony, flourishing concerto or your favourite western pop songs, it
will contain 12 familiar tones—and be based around familiar intervals(间隙) between these tones
—to create the melodies we know and love today.
Western music typically uses 12 notes—C, D, E, F, G, A and B, plus five flats(降调) and
equal sharps(升调) in between, which are: C sharp/D flat (they're the same note, just named
differently), D sharp/B flat, F sharp/G flat, G sharp/A flat and A sharp/B flat.
These 12 notes have typically been used to compose most of the Western music we listen to.
The reasons music has landed on these specific notes can be summed up as a combination of
convenience, science and listener preferences.
All sounds are the result of waves, and the frequency of waves determine the pitch(音高) of
sounds we hear. Pitches or notes that sound high, for instance, have a high frequency. But when it
comes to our familiar 12 notes, it's not all about frequency - in fact, frequency hasn't created this
set of 12.
We typically use just 12 notes in Western music because of the spaces - or intervals - between
the notes.
Pieces of music are familiar entirely because of these intervals. Think of the children's song
‘Baa baa Black Sheep’' — it's still the same ‘Baa baa Black sheep’ when you start on the note C as
If you start on B, or indeed if it's sung by a person with a deep, low voice as if it's sung by a person
with a very high voice. For performers and music theory experts, this is what 'transposing(转调)’
is.
Talking about 12 notes in music generally applies to music from the West and from some
other parts of the world, but certainly isn't an exhaustive system for all music. Arabic music had a
17-tone scale. Indian classical music creates colour between notes far beyond the limited 12 notes.
Indonesian gamelan also uses a different scale. And there are of course many, many more different
ways music-makers have 'split the octave(八度音阶)’ up into different notes to create sensational
melodies throughout human history. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
28. Which of the following notes come between note C and note F sharp in correct order going
upwards
A. C flat, C, D, E flat, E B. C sharp, D, D flat, E sharp, F
C.C flat, C, D, D sharp, E D. C sharp, D, D sharp, E, F
29. Why is the song 'Baa baa Black Sheep' always the same whether you start on the note C or the
note B
A. It is always sung by people with a deep voice and then a low voice.
B. The frequency and pitch of note B and C are always the same.
C. The intervals between each of the 12 notes are always the same.
D. It is always transposed by musicians between different notes.
30. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.12 notes in music act better than a 17-tone scale.
B. Music varies in different areas around the world.
C. Western music should borrow some ways from the world.
D. The world should learn from western 12-tone scale.
31. What's the best title of this article
A.12 Notes in Western Music
B. Difference Between World Music
C. How can We Enjoy Western Music
D. Why is 12 Notes World Famous

Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum (钟摆) and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, "When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours."
Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach.
Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we’ve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as if lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine.
When days become as identical as beads(小珠子)on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day-to stop time, so to speak.
Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn’t have to be.
28. What is the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 is used to show
A. physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time
B. physical time is different from psychological time
C. time should not be measured by a pendulum
D. psychological time is quite puzzling
29.Which of the following will make you feel time flies faster
A. A day spent exploring something unknown.
B. Staying with a person who you dislike.
C. A day packed with appointments to handle.
D. Driving to a new place for the first time.
30. What does "novelty" in Paragraph 3 probably means
A. amusement
B. excitement
C. imagination
D. unfamiliarity
31. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To explain why time flies and how to slow it down psychologically
B. To describe how we experience time psychologically
C. To show the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time
D. To give various explanations about time

Constant notifications(通知) on your phone. TV news specials in place of your favourite sports show. WhatsApp and Messenger full of COVID-19 articles your out-of-touch aunt just “had to share". Sound familiar If our daily news intake was counted in calories, many of us would have put on even more weight in recent months.
While audience numbers for network television news shows remain much higher than usual in many countries, ratings are, in some places, starting to decrease. In the UK, news shows have recorded their lowest audience figures since the country went into lockdown. The Nieman Journalism Lab, part of Harvard University, recently reported that “news traffic to news sites, both in the US and around the world, is pretty much back to pre-coronavirus levels”.
There are also many people who are finding themselves consumed by the news cycle mole than usual. Journalists, communications professionals, doctors, scientist and, most recently. disinfectant (消毒剂) producers are among those having to stay on top of daily comments and data in a way they’ve never previously experience. For many, this is happening while they are working from home and managing blurred(模糊的) boundaries between their work and private lives.
So how should we balance news fatigue and anxiety with the need to remain informed on the latest news during the crisis John-Paul Davies, a London-based expert, argues that for most of us, checking the headlines once a day is a sensible goal. This could be reduced to once a week for those with high levels of anxiety. He says it is also important to select “a trusted news site” or radio station with a focus on “facts rather than guesses”.
For those whose work is connected to the coronavirus crisis, experts accept it may be much harder to reduce news consumption. But John-Paul Davies says it’s still important to make an effort to “put boundaries” around how much information you watch or read. Liz Martin, a therapist based in London, recommends regular digital check-ins with workmates doing similar roles. “It’s really important to be a support to one another.” she argues.
28.What happened to people during COVID-19
A.They kept on putting on weight.
B. They lost touch with their relatives.
C. They were overloaded with news on COVID-19.
D. They were forced to choose between TV news and sports shows.
29.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed
A By giving examples. B. By testing assumptions.
C. By making predictions. D. By drawing comparisons.
30.What does the author want to explain in Paragraph 3
A. Making a smart and successful career move is very important.
B. The boundaries between work and life vary from person to person.
C. The advantages of working from home are greater than its disadvantages.
D. Some people are strongly affected by the news cycle for professional reasons.
31. What is John-Paul Davies’ advice
A. Seeking help from others. B. Turning to reliable sources.
C. Keeping checking the headlines. D. Putting information in order of priority.

For as long as I can remember, I want to be a performer. But when it came time to go to college and decide what I wanted to be for the rest of my life, it didn’t occur to me to choose drama as my major. Making a living as a performer seems impractical to me. So instead of starting drama I started pre-law, and then went to law school like my two sisters did before me. They seemed happy enough, I thought; they worked about 80 hours a week, but they made good money and could afford expensive cars and fancy apartments in the city.
After law school I got a new job and worked as a lawyer for a big company. I had great benefits, including four weeks of vacation a year, but I never got to use any of my vacation time because there was always too much work to do. I worked from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days a week, and when I was finished, all I could do was collapse into my bed until I woke up to do it all over again the next day.
After five years of this lifestyle, I thought I was going to go crazy. I was unhappy and exhausted, I never saw my friends or my family, and I realized I hadn’t been in a play or musical since I started law school. I thought that acting in a small community play might make me feel better, but rehearsals and performances all took place during my work hours. So I made a drastic decision and quit my job.
I got a small part in a local play and then lead role. Now make my living from acting, and once in a while, I do some legal consulting for a little extra money. I don’t get paid a lot for my acting jobs, but it’s enough. I had to give up my big apartment and expensive car, but I’m so much happier now. I see my friends and family, I have free time, and I get to do something I love every day.
28. The writer went to law school because_________
his two sisters went to law school
he was interested in the practice of law
a lawyer’s job would bring him a decent and leisure life
acting jobs were not well-paid enough to earn a living
29. After five years practicing law how did the writer find a lawyers’ work EXCEPT
A. exhausting B. enjoyable C. rewarding D. endless
30. The writer to quit his job as a lawyer because________.

September is upon us, which means one thing for parents and children alike: term time, Many
will be excited to engage in-person, after months of remote learning. Unfortunately, this won't
apply to everyone. It's alarming that an estimated 54.00 children will continue to stay at home, due to mental or physical health concerns directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病). For those that aren’t able to attend classes in person, maintaining some form of connection with their
peers is vitally important, both to protect their educational development and to prevent them from becoming isolated (孤独).
No Isolation, a company that specializes in understanding and reducing the impact of loneliness
has decided to take action. Throughout the summer, No Isolation worked with independent
researcher, Henry Peck, to better understand the effect of lockdown on educational and emotional
development in school-aged children. They collected responses from some primary and middle
school students and found that about 1,320 children, or more than 75% of the surveyed, were more
or less lonely during the lockdown.
There is no immediate “fix"" for loneliness, but there are steps to be taken to help. Parents need
to open up a dialogue around what loneliness is, and what it feels like, so as to stress that feeling
lonely is completely normal and a topic that is safe to talk about. For adults, loneliness is a shame,
which means that often they are not open enough about it with each other, let alone with their children. Parents need to break the taboo around loneliness by talking and encouraging children to
share their emotions. They also need to learn to ask for help. Sometimes these emotions need to be
talked through with family or with a professional. Now, more than ever, parents should be listening
to children and helping to make sure they are heard when they feel lonely. They are facing the same
pandemic, and they deserve all of the help and support they can get.
28. What may prevent many young people returning to school in the coming new term
A. The interrupted connection with their peers.
B. The continued spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
C. The benefits of remote laming they have ever receive.
D. The physical and mental impact of the pandemic on them.
29. What do the numbers in Pragraph2 imply
A. A bad effect of loneliness. B. The large number of students in the UK.
C.A worrying common phenomenon. D. The convincing accuracy of the survey.
30. How can parents help children understand that loneliness is normal
A. By making sure their children feel safe at home.
B. By receiving education on what loneliness actually is,
C. By talking about the nature of loneliness with their children.
D. By open up a dialogue about their struggles with children.
31.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Serious consequences of loneliness.
B. Effective ways of dealing with loneliness.
C. Possible ways of breaking the taboo.
D. Great significance of social emotion

2021-2022学年高三上学期南京一中期中考试
There are few spectacles more unpleasant than a television presenter trying to hang on to a job. When one of the presenters of the BBC program Crimewatch resigned recently, rather than suffer the inevitable indignity of being unfinished and replaced by a younger version, he made the usual hurt noises about his masters’ overemphasis on youth. People in the media listened sympathetically before he slid from view to join the ranks of television’s has-beens.
The presenter’s argument, that the viewers don’t care how old you are so long as you can “do the job,” unfortunately is not backed up by the evidence. When you’re on TV, viewers are always thinking about whether you’re losing your hair or your figure and, lately, whether you’ve had cosmetic work done. This is what they’re actually doing when you think they’re listening to the wise things you say. Viewers actually don’t understand much of what the job involves, they just see you sitting there looking the part. Like the ability to pet one’s head while rubbing one’s stomach, TV presenting is just one of those skills. Some of those who possess this skill can hit the big name, inevitably as they become more attached to the lifestyle this brings, however, the more likely they are to overstate the skill.
In reality, if somebody is paying you a lot of money to do a job, it’s often on the tacit (心照不宜的) understanding that you may be fired suddenly --- it’s part of the deal. Unlike football managers, TV presenters pretend not to understand this. If they’ve had many years being paid silly sums to read a script from an autocue (自动题词机), it’s difficult for them to accept that they’ve been the beneficiary of good fortune rather than anything else; even harder to face the fact that an editor could all too easily send them to the shopping channels.
Something similar eventually awaits all the people who are currently making fortunes that would have been unimaginable to earlier generations of presenters. One day we’ll decide that their face no longer fits and they’ll be dragged away complaining about the same ageist policy from which they no doubt previously profited. Show business is a brutal (残忍的) business. The one thing it reliably punishes is age, particularly among women. That’s why, at the age of fifty, female TV presenters become female radio presenters and why girl bands planning to re-form need to get it done before they’re forty, after which it will get too hard for everyone to suspend their collective disbelief.
32. What does the writer imply about the Crimewatch presenter he mentions in the first paragraph
A. He was unwise to resign when he did. B. He will soon be forgotten by the viewers.
C. He may well have had a valid point to make. D. He was treated kindly by his employers.
33. The underlined pronoun “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to
A. a public image B. a level of success
C. an overstatement D. a common misunderstanding
34. Why does the writer mention football managers in Paragraph 3
A. To support his view that presenters are overpaid.
B. To stress how important luck is in certain occupations.
C. To show how relatively secure TV presenters are in their jobs.
D. To illustrate a general rule that applies to certain types of job.
35. According to the writer, TV personalities who may worry about ageism ______.
A. may have benefited from it themselves at some point
B. should look for work in other forms of broadcasting
C. are less well respected than presenters of the past
D. are being unfair to up-and-coming younger colleagues
盐城市2022届高三年级第一学期期中考试
A terrible thing happened to me while I was watching TV recently: I realized that I had aged. Now of course l know that I am aging, it's just that I hadn't realized quite how old I was until I saw a participant who I recognized on a reality TV show. Well, I didn't recognize her but I recognized her name. I'd slightly known her in my 20s when she'd been the celebrity who had stolen my roommates' boyfriends.
However, here's the thing that shocked me-I hadn't recognized her because rather than the beauty I remembered, on my TV was a middle-aged mum cooking. And then it hit me: that's what I look like too.
It's a particularly cruel change of nature that we can't see ourselves as others do. We see our own face so often that the wrinkles that start to cut through it just go unnoticed. Occasionally we might get a rude awakening when suddenly our bodies stop working as expected but, for the most part, we're left to get on with growing old without too many reminders. But when you get a reminder...oof! Since that show aired, I have sat in front of the mirror analyzing my face and wondering how I came to look so like my mother without noticing. I've also realized that my waist no longer fits into baby fat but a middle-aged spread.
I also fear that I don't know what middle age looks like for my generation. Did my mother still feel 24 when in reality she was 15 years older And why do I not feel like I'm where I should be as I approach 40 I definitely remember writing a list of things I will have achieved by the time I'm 40 at 19. Where is the house in the South of France or the Porsche 911 she so desperately wanted
Since then, I've started to redefine myself. I don't want to put everything down to age but I can't quite stop myself. Tired again Must be my age. Thank God then for social media. All around me I see amazing women at the other end of their 40s. They've accepted their age and seem to love it, so I'm hopeful that as I move into the next decade that will be me too. And maybe I'll get the Porsche before I'm 50.
32.What is implied in Paragraph 1
A. The author has been friends with the TV celebrity.
B. The TV celebrity used to be popular among boys.
C. The TV celebrity now lives a life of extreme luxury.
D. The aging process doesn't affect the TV celebrity.
33. In most cases, how do we perceive the aging process
A. We clearly know what happens. B. It is very likely to slip our mind.
C. We can accept it quite peacefully. D. It always brings about hopelessness.
34.The underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to.
A. a lady denying being old B. the ambitious self aged 19
C. a woman accepting her age D. the celebrity on the TV show
35. What is the theme of this article
A. It matters not how long we live but how.
B. Wrinkles are just evidence of great wisdom.
C. Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
D. The best tunes are played on the oldest violins.

Recently, many climate change campaigns and organizations have marketed themselves using images of polar bears losing their habitat. This has led many people to view the polar bear as the global icon (象征物) for our climate crisis.
The polar bear has become so widespread because it does an excellent job of playing on an audience's emotions and convincing them that there is an urgent problem on Earth. The imagery of a polar bear is also much more attractive than a scientific graph (图表) or chart of increasing sea levels or extreme weather event occurrences.
However, using polar bears as the only icon of our changing climate is flawed (有错的). For one, it only represents one effect of climate change, global warming, and not climate change itself. It neglects to address other aspects such as extreme weather events, ocean acidification, etc. While global warming is an important impact of climate change, the other aspects need to be communicated as well since climate change may not even cause warming in certain parts of the world—it could lead to severe snowstorms or colder winters instead. Thus, communicating these other elements is vital because it can reduce much of the misinformation surrounding our climate and gives the audience a more comprehensive understanding of our planet.
Moreover, using polar bears is problematic because most people do not live anywhere near polar bear habitat. This makes polar bears feel far removed from our own personal reality—thus making climate change feel far removed from our lives. Since climate change is anything but a distant phenomenon, a symbol that communicates the ways in which the climate crisis affects humans could be more convincing and push more people to act.
Even though using the polar bear as the icon of climate change is limited in conveying the full scope of our climate crisis, it can act as an agent of opening up the conversation about environmental issues and inspiring viewers to dive deeper into learning about climate change.
32. Why are polar bears preferred as marketing images
A. Their imagery is more convincing.
B. They are likely to lose their habitats.
C. They are unique victims of the climate crisis.
D. The data on them often appear in scientific graphs.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A. Polar bears are the only indicator of climate change.
B. Climate change is bound to result in global warming.
C. All elements of climate change have been communicated to the public.
D. Using polar bears as the only icon of climate change will cause some problems.
34. What does the underlined word “This" refer to in Paragraph 4
A. Failing to understand our planet.
B. Refusing to take immediate action.
C. Living apart from polar bear habitat.
D. Using polar bears to explain climate change.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. The occurrence of climate change
B. The possible impact of climate change
C. The dangerous symbol of polar bears
D. The importance of protecting polar bears

“A positive attitude can be a gift to those around you,” said Jamie Long, a clinical psychologist in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “But it shouldn’t take the place of listening thoughtfully to others’ experiences.”
“When you choose to look at situations from one positive angle, you are very likely to dismiss a true experience,” Long explained. Even if you try to cheer up someone, ignoring someone’s difficult experiences can leave them feeling they should hide negative feelings in the future.
As examples of “positive” responses that might destroy a friend’s ability to share their feelings, Long listed: “Look for the silver lining” and “it could be worse”. Instead of trying to find a positive angle, Long suggested using accepting phrases that communicate a willingness to listen, and to share life’s difficult moments with the people you care about.
Still, the positive benefits of negative emotions may be best experienced in relatively, small doses(剂量). Lomas Quintero highlighted that appreciating the value of difficult feelings is all about finding balance. “Any negative emotion can go too far or turn into a clinical issue,” he said.
Long agreed. “There is an abundance of; research that really touts(吹捧)the benefits of positivity, and we’re not denying that,” Long said. “When you do so to an extreme, when you dismiss truth, that’s where problems arise.”
32.What does Jamie Long advocate
A. Taking a positive attitude to those around you.
B. Listening thoughtfully to others’ true experiences.
C. Choosing to look at situations from a positive angle.
D. Ignoring someone’s difficult experiences to cheer up.
33.Why does the author mention “Look for the silver lining” in paragraph 3
A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To give an example. D. To make a comparison.
34. What is the author’s attitude to the benefits of negative emotions
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.
35.What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about
A. The benefits of positive emotions. B. Clinical issues caused by negativity.
C. Experiencing some difficult feelings. D. Balancing positivity against negativity.

For many businesses, the Internet has created benefits that go beyond their wildest dreams. It has reduced the costs of advertising and increased visibility for companies all over the world. Such freedom of access to information has a dark side, though, and many businesses are learning about the hard way.
These days, if you want to find a particular shop, just type in the name of the place you’re looking for on Google Maps to get directions instantly. You can also get information about hours of operation, the business’s telephone number, and more.
Unfortunately, some dishonest folks are using dirty tricks to manipulate（暗中控制）the system and deceive users. The problem exists because Google Maps is partly a crowdsourced undertaking, meaning anyone can enter information about a business whether it is true or false. All dishonest competitors have to do is enter a fake address, incorrect business hours, or any other lie about their competitors.
Google Maps is also littered with thousands of businesses that don’t even exist. Clicking on their links directs users to ill-intentioned sites. One particular group of businesses that have been taken over by liars almost completely are locksmiths. A large percentage of them are illegal businesses that aren’t licensed.
