Not setting homework can be impossible in certain situations. There are many arguments in favor of homework, and most teachers would agree with many, if not all, of the following: homework is a perfect opportunity to go over calmly what was done with the teacher, and rethink and develop that initial input; homework offers a moment for students to work as individuals and develop learner self-governance outside the classroom; students and parents expect homework to be set and to be corrected. Nevertheless, the drawbacks that homework may have are often overlooked.
There are two key issues which need to be raised when dealing with the concept of homework. Firstly, there is the question of home. Often homework is not done at home at all, but at a friend's house, on the street, on the bus on the way to class or sitting on the step outside school before it opens. What's more, all too often, for it to be done effectively at home, homework requires the participation and involvement of other adults. Parents play a crucial role in a child's education, but they can t always be available, for a number of very valid reasons, and a tutor's ability to aid, guide, encourage and simply organize a son or daughter s study may be limited in many ways. The implication are unsetting: if homework is crucial to success in class, some children have an automatic disability.
Considering the second part of the compound noun opens up further questions. If the idea of home can be problematic, so too can the concept of work. Again, this will depend enormously on the context but, very often there is a lot of work put in. Demands on their time and attention span(持续时间)and all sorts of other impositions mean homework is usually something to get out of the way, to be ticked off as done, with the exercises completed as fast as possible. It is not always seen as useful times spent developing and strengthening what is done in class but, rather, as something quickly finished to keep the teacher at bay. It might be correct or not, copied from a friend or cut and pasted from the internet, but the important thing is that a teacher sees the exercise completed and, as a result, the task achieved: how much effort went into that result is not always appreciated or easy to evaluate and, even when work clearly falls below standard, and the mere fact of its having been done is often good enough. Teacher and students are happy because everyone has officially fulfilled their commitment.
The ideal that students go home, think back to what they did with their teacher, use the great resources their books and the internet provide to revise, reflect and put everything they have seen in class in place, into action, into practice, does not often happen with some students.
24. Which of the following is not among the advantages of homework according to paragraph 1
A. Solidifying the knowledge and skills learnt in class.
B. Developing the ability of the independent learning.
C. Building a closer teacher-student relationship.
D. Meeting the requirements of students and parents.
25. Speaking of the significant impact of homework upon children's success in class, some are just not good as others because
A. their tutors are not always available to support them
B. they are born without the ability to deal with concepts
C. their family circumstances limit their learning ability
D. some unknown reasons greatly hold up their progress
26. “keep the teacher at bay "(paragragh3) means the way homework is done___.
A. blocks teachers from knowing more about their students
B. imposes enormous meaningless evaluating work on teachers
C. displays the great efforts students make to satisfy their teachers
D. shows achievements teachers expect to accomplish in their work
27. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. Are you ready for homework yet
B. Is there a way out for homework
C. Home and Work: both are hard to ignore.
D. Homework or No homework: it is your choice.

Doctors sometimes prescribe light therapy to treat a form of depression in people who get too little morning sun. But too much light at other times may actually cause such mood disorders. Long-lasting exposure to light at night brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals. The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut Health Center. Mood disorders join a growing list of problems, including cancer, obesity and diabetes - that can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms.
In the new study, Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State University exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks. For the next four weeks, half of the mice remained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their pared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference for sweet drinks, “A sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once enjoyed.” Bedrosian says.
In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of "behavioral despair”, 10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness. All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal light- dark cycle, the researchers report. The scientists also could quash the behavioral symptoms by injecting the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression. This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.
Human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but can't easily detect molecular underpinings (分子基础)as animal studies can，says George Brainard of Thomas Jefferson University. The new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be “an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behavior."
28. After being exposed to continuous nighttime light, he mice
A. changed their preferences B. escaped from the water more eagerly
C. remained active as before D. showed less interest in their favorites
29. What does the underlined word “quash" in Para. 4 probably mean
A. study B. predict C. ease D. cause
30. We can learn from the last paragraph that
A. light at night may have practical effects on people
B. the biological clock is beneficial to humans
C. human mood disorders cannot be healed easily
D. human studies are more important than animal studies
31. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Nighttime light may foster depression.
B. A drug has been found to cure mood disorders.
C. The study on animals can be applied to humans.
D. Human biological clock can be controlled by light.
D
There was something in the elderly woman's behavior that caught my eye. Although slow and unsure of step, the woman moved with deliberation, and there was no hesitation in her gestures. She was as good as anyone else, her movements suggested. And she had a job to do.
The elderly woman had walked into the store along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter. The daughter was displaying a serious case of impatience, rolling her eyes, huffing and sighing, checking her watch every few seconds. If she had possessed a belt, her mother would have been fastened to it as a means of dragging her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.
The older woman detached from the younger one and began to glance over the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After the slightest hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title scrawled (潦草地写) on a crumpled piece of paper. The title was unusual and a bit unfamiliar. Clearly a person looking for it knew a little about movies, about quality.
Rather than rushing of to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Looking back, I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment. Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, who'd passed away the previous Christmas.
As we walked along the back of the store, I narrated its floor plan: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.
We found the movie, and I complimented her on her choice. She smiled and told me it was one she'd enjoyed when she was her son's age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had.
Maybe, she said with a hint of eagerness, he could enjoy it with his own young children. Then, reluctantly, I had to return the elderly woman to her keeper, who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.
I accompanied the older woman to the queue at the cash register and then stepped back and lingered near the younger woman. When the older woman's turn in line came, she paid in cash, counting out the dollars and coins with the same sureness she'd displayed earlier.
32. What does "she had a job to do" (Para.1) mean according to the context
A. She had a regular job in the store.
B. She wanted to ask for help.
C. She wanted to buy a DVD.
D. She was thinking of what to buy.
33. What does the title of the DVD reveal according to the shop assistant
A. The elderly woman had some knowledge about movies.
B. The elderly woman liked movies for young children.
C. The elderly woman preferred movies her son liked.
D. The elderly woman liked both old and new movies.
34. While looking for the DVD with the old woman, the shop assistant was
A. hesitant B. casual C. cautious D. considerate
35. What is the main purpose of this passage
A. To describe what a movie nut is like
B. To stress the importance of company and understanding.
C. To explore the key aspects of current parental-child relationship
D. To remind readers to spend more time accompanying their family

Building a lasting social relationship
We all know that friends are special people who we share our lives with, and who share their lives with us in return. But seeking friends and keeping the friendship going are never easy.
According to research recently published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, the key is to use "we--talk". Led by University of California psychologist Megan Robins and her colleagues, the researchers reviewed and analyzed 30 different studies involving over 5, 000 participants. 36
The word "we" moves people from an individual position into a partnership, which makes us more interdependent. “ 37 Word use is a window into what people are thinking and feeling without asking them. " Robbins told Science Daily.
38 The primary point is that interdependence may bring about supportive and relationship-centered behaviors and positive perceptions of the partner-especially important in times of stress and disagreement.
Contrary to "we-talk", there is "I-talk", which refers to the frequent use of the first-person singular pronouns, such as "I", "me" and "mine", when writing or speaking. Earlier this year, researchers analyzed a set of data that came from 47, 000 people in Germany and the US. 39 As you can see from the two studies, too much "I-talk" can make you feel depressed. But "we-talk" can encourage you to become more positive and create a chain effect of healthy interdependence with others.
So next time you are talking to a friend, try using more "we-talk". 40
A. Their research also found that "we talk" is helpful for resolving conflicts.
B. Self-centered people are found to be indifferent to many things in society and other people.
C. Pronouns offer an insight into whether people see themselves as individuals or as part of a whole.
D. If you are speaking in a person context, you're speaking about something that's of relevance to you.
E. You may find yourself feeling more positive - and the effect it will have on your friend will be positive as well.
F. This analysis of "we-talk" suggested that the frequent use of "we" and "us" is linked to happier and healthier relationships.
G. They found that too much "I-talk" was an accurate linguistic marker for the likelihood that someone is feeling stressed or experiencing negative emotions.

A ban on distracted walking
You can't walk down the street without passing so-called "smart-phone zombies(僵尸).”
They are too absorbed in their screen 56 (watch) where they are going. Almost four in ten people admit having suffered a technology-related small accident 57 they pay more attention to their electronic device than to the pavement.
Now the city of Honolulu, Hawaii, has decided it's time to take immediate action and make it illegal to cross the road while using a mobile phone. Those 58 (catch) using phones, tablets or other electronic devices at crossing points could face a fine of up to$ 100.
Honolulu is the first major U. S. city to ban 59 is called “distracted walking" It comes after a study found there 60 (be) more than 11,000 injuries in the United States resulting from phone-related distraction while walking in the past few years.
To explain the decision, mayor Kirk Caldwell said, “We hold the unfortunate honor of being a major city 61 more pedestrians are hit in crosswalks than almost any other city in the country.
Under the fine systems 62 breaks this law for the first time will get a fine of $15 to $35. People breaking the law for a second or third time will get a $99 fine.
The law, which is called the Distracted Walking Law, does permit an exception. Pedestrians 63 use such devices in the street to call emergency services and rescue workers, such as firefighters and police officers.
If you still want to text while walking, you could avoid 64 (fine) in Honolulu by using a voice-controlled digital assistant such as Siri or Google Assistant. Or you could just wait 65 you are again, safely, off the street.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My mother was a supporter of physical punishment, but for all her talking she has never spanked (打屁股) my siblings, and me only once. Instead she found ways of punishment that left a more lasting memory than giving us a spanking. One of the most memorable of these occasions occurred when I was four.
In the early 70’s my mother attended college during the day and I was in day care. One day at day care I watched an extremely tired mother attempt to pick up her daughter. The little girl asked, “Momma, are we going to McDonald's for dinner " The mother replied, “Honey, not tonight. Momma has to run a few errands (差事) and then we have to go home and cook dinner for Daddy. “But I wanna go."“Susie, I said not tonight. Maybe, if you are a good girl, we can go tomorrow.' Susie immediately dropped to the floor, kicking and screaming. “I want to go to McDonald's."
No amount of pleading (恳求) or scolding her mother tried stopped Susie s tantrum (发脾气). Finally her mother gave in, “Okay, Susie, let's go to McDonald's." Susie stopped yelling. With a smile on her face she grabbed her mother 's hand and they left. To say I was amazed would be inaccurate; I was delighted that anything I wanted could be had by throwing a tantrum.
That day my mother picked me up early from day care because we were going to a store to purchase some Christmas items. I was excited by the lights and decorations, and as we walked through the toy section on the way to the counter, I saw a toy I had to have. It was a white and red telephone whose bells rang as it was pulled along on a string. Looking lovingly up at my mother I asked, "Mama, can I have that telephone ”
She replied, “Baby, not now, but if you are a good girl, maybe Santa will bring it to you. “But Mama, I want that telephone right now." Her eyes narrowed and her hand tightened on mine. “Becky, you can't have that telephone today, but if you misbehave, you can have a spanking".

Dear Wang Dong,
With great excitement, I'm writing this email to invite you to visit the newly opened Suzhou Museum West, which lies at the foot of Lion Mountain located in the west of Suzhou.
Nothing exhibits profound Chinese culture better than museums. I'm fully convinced the museum not only offers us a deep insight into the ancient wisdom, but also presents a visual feast, where various, delicate works of art are on display.
I'd love it if you could go with me at 1:00p.m. on January 1st, 2022. Let’s share our unforgettable New Year's Day in this splendid museum. I will meet you at the gate of the museum. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,

Para1:
By now we were standing in the long holiday line to pay the bill, and I figured it was a good chance. I lay down on the ground and began screaming, “I want that telephone,” over and over again. Weary Christmas shoppers looked as my mother calmly said, “Becky, you had better get up by the count of three or else... One... Two... Three.” Nothing. I was still in full tantrum. So then she lay down beside me on the floor, and began kicking and screaming, “I want a new car. I want a new house. I want some jewelry. I want...” Shocked, I stood up.
Para2:
“Mama, stop. Mama, get up,” I tearfully pleaded. She stood, and brushed herself off. At first stunned, the others waiting in line began to clap, and before I knew it they were cheering and laughing and patting my mother on her back. She blushed and took a little bow and the next thirty minutes in line was pure misery for me as various parents leaving the store, shake their heads at me and say with a smile, “Your mom got you good. I bet you’ll never try that again.” And I didn’t, because it left a lasting mental picture more effective than any physical mark.

M: Good. Do I have to register
W: No, but a student ID card is a must.
M: Okay. Will there be enough room for students to move around freely I mean, I wouldn’t want to work out in a jammed place.
W: Don’t worry. The classes take place at the Elizabeth Hall. It can accommodate up to 500 students. But the average turnout is only around 100. Oh, the Student Union has invited some professional coaches to provide guidance this month. You wouldn’t want to miss it.
M: Alright. And what about the exercise equipment there
W: Well, you can use…
【原文】W: Ah! There’s a bug on the wall! Oh, no! It has jumped on the floor and is now moving toward my desk! Help me crush it!
M: Oh, what a lovely little creature. Chill out. It causes no harm as long as you leave it be. Besides, insects are helpful.
W: What They are horrible! Bugs always make my hair stand on end! Helpful How
M: Well, do you know what pollen is
W: You mean the fine powder produced by flowers Yeah. It fertilizes other flowers of the same species so that they produce seeds. But how does that have anything to do with bugs
M: Because insects play a crucial part in the transfer of pollen among flowers, and three-quarters of our crops in the UK depend on this.
W: Okay, but… Ahhh, it has jumped on my foot! Ahhh!
【原文】M: Hello, I’m Bryan Lynn. Now you’re listening to the English learning program, Words and Their Stories. Today we are going to talk about potatoes.
Potatoes have been around for a very long time. In the food magazine Bon Appétit, Sam Dean writes about the beginnings of the potato. He explains that the common white potato came from Peru at least 7,000 years ago.
These days most countries use a type of potato in their cooking. For people who like meat, you have not lived until you have eaten a baked potato covered with melted cheese and crispy bacon. And speaking of meat on top of potatoes, we do have an expression related to it: meat-and-potatoes. If someone is a meat-and-potatoes kind of person, they prefer simple life. They are not interested in fancy goods, complex emotions or things alike.
Okay, as you know, a cooked potato can stay hot for a long time, and therefore comes the expression “hot potato”. When you describe something as a “hot potato”, you’re saying it’s difficult to deal with and you want to get rid of it as soon as possible, because it’s “too hot to hold”. We also have “small potatoes”, which means unimportant people or things. But, we do not say “big potatoes” for important ones. English is funny that way! That’s today’s Words and Their Stories. Have a nice day!2022届苏州八校12月联考解析

详细解析：
A篇
第21题 C 细节理解题。定位到文章第一、二段，第二段说，teach faster and easier than any other language product，说明用广告说的这种方式学语言会比别的方式学语言快得多，故选C，这个方法让用户在比平均水平更短的时间内习得一种语言。
第22题 A 细节理解题。定位到表格第二行右半边，Automated tutorials that assess where you need extra help，所以可以在有问题的时候找智能辅导，故选A。
第23题 B 细节理解题。定位到表格第二行左半边，Reading中说，link written language to real-life objects actions and ideas，通过将书面语言与现实生活中的物体行动和想法联系起来，来学习语言，所以Reading会联系使用者的生活经历，故选B。

第31题 A 主旨题。文章围绕着抑郁症和光照时间展开，从开头的“But too much light at other times may actually cause such mood disorders.”到倒数第二段的药物治疗，都没有脱离这个主题，最后简单介绍了夜间光照的研究难度和生物影响，故选A。

36-40 FCAGE
本篇主要讲在沟通当中我们应该多用we这种第一人称，来创造一种大家同属一个群体的利益共同体的感觉，因为大家惺惺相惜，所以会有更强的共鸣感和合作感，实际上这是由一篇阅读理解改变而来的，事实上，在龚露老师高一高二秋季尖子班讲义的第11周必刷题，我们也讲到了一模一样的文章。
详细解析：
第36题 F 这道题属于词汇的词性转换，前面有analyze ,这里是analysis 的名词复现，同时，也重复研究的结论，即多用we这种第一人称，来创造一种大家同属一个群体的利益共同体感觉。有利于我们与他人发展更加良性的关系。
第37题 C 这里属于同义词复现，选项中的a part of a whole与原文的partnership, interdependent属于同义词。
第38题 A 这里是研究的第二个结论。即多用我们有利于避免冲突，conflict与后文的in times of stress and disagreement属于同义词复现，尤其是conflict 与disagreement 之间存在强烈的同意替换。
第39题 G 这里都在讨论we 的对立面，即I,如果多使用I的话，会有一种当事人特别有压力，或者当事人有负面情绪，与后面的depressed属于感情方面的重复，即都是贬义。
第40题 E 这里是一种建议，即建议你多用We，因为会让你感觉好，你的朋友也感觉好，实际上这是文章的首尾呼应，即这个地方呼应第一段的研究结果。

本文主要讲作者作为一个ABC （American Born Chinese），去市场买鱼，因为不会说中文，而受到大家的耻笑。作为ABC，自己挺痛苦却有无奈，因为自己作为黄种人，中国人却不会说中国话，感觉先祖的智慧和语言在自己身上消亡了，自己的中国印记也越来越淡。 实际上，这篇文章应该是由2010福建卷高考真题改编而来。

Para1:
By now we were standing in the long holiday line to pay the bill, and I figured it was a good chance. I lay down on the ground and began screaming, “I want that telephone,” over and over again. Weary Christmas shoppers looked as my mother calmly said, “Becky, you had better get up by the count of three or else... One... Two... Three.” Nothing. I was still in full tantrum. So then she lay down beside me on the floor, and began kicking and screaming, “I want a new car. I want a new house. I want some jewelry. I want...” Shocked, I stood up.
Para2:
“Mama, stop. Mama, get up,” I tearfully pleaded. She stood, and brushed herself off. At first stunned, the others waiting in line began to clap, and before I knew it they were cheering and laughing and patting my mother on her back. She blushed and took a little bow and the next thirty minutes in line was pure misery for me as various parents leaving the store, shake their heads at me and say with a smile, “Your mom got you good. I bet you’ll never try that again.” And I didn’t, because it left a lasting mental picture more effective than any physical mark.

By now we were standing in the long holiday line to pay the bill, and I figured it was a good chance. “Mama, can I have the telephone ” I look up expectantly. “No.” she refused without any hesitation, her eyebrows bunching in the middle, “Becky, behave yourself.” Such ruthless words didn’t dampen my eagerness for the toy. I thought to myself, “Let me have another try.” I threw myself to the ground, kicking and screaming, in the hope that mom would give in. However, much to my astonishment, mom pondered for several seconds, and then dropped to the floor, waving and yelling. Exactly a repeat performance of mine!
“Mama, stop. Mama, get up,” I tearfully pleaded. Noticing the crowd was gathering, all looking curiously with confusion, I felt my cheeks flush red. Waves of embarrassment and regret continuously washed over me. Clinging to mom’s clothes, I anxiously begged her to rise up. Mom stood up, gently patting me on the shoulder, “Becky, anybody can throw a tantrum. But it does not necessarily bring what you want.” “Sorry, mom. I won’t do it again.” I promised in a choking voice. Mom did not punish me physically, but she did punish me psychologically, which left an everlasting impression on my mind.

By now we were standing in the long holiday line to pay the bill, and I figured it was a good chance. I instantly slumped down to the floor, kicking and screaming, following Susie's suit. Much to my astonishment, my mother totally turned a blind eye, but, out of the blue, flopped on to my side. What added to my embarrassment was that she even started yelling as well! "Becky, I want a new dress! I want a big house, I..." Kicking and crying, she was making such a scene that more and more curious glances were thrown to us.
"Mama, stop. Mama, get up," I tearfully pleaded. Child as I was, I could feel a growing sense of shame. Grasping my mother's sleeve, I tried hard to pull her up, swearing never to do it again. She finally rose to her feet, wiped off tears (if any), and put on a winner's smile. Witnessing the whole thing, many concerned onlookers expressed appreciation for my mother's wise response. After bowing slightly to the crowd, she checked out with deliberation, my head hanging in shame all the time. From then on, incidents like this always serve an educational purpose much better than any physical punishment.
