Dear Jack,
How are you doing I am writing to share with you my unforgettable experience as a volunteer in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
I felt so lucky to have been selected as a volunteer for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, serving the athletes from all over the globe. I worked at the service center in the Olympic Village, where athletes could seek help. My responsibilities ranged from providing information and translation services to dealing with emergencies. The volunteer work not only broadened my horizons but also made me proud of myself for playing a part in the Games.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,

The British Invention Show, first started in 2001, takes place every October in London.
The competition looks at inventions from all over the world. A team of 25 judges look for
the best inventions in each of the three categories: invention, innovation and technology.
There are prizes for the best British inventions and the best international inventions. There
is an awards ceremony on the last day where prizes are given to the best in each category.
The three-day show gives inventors the opportunity to meet new people. Each year a large
number of investors, designers and manufacturers attend the show with the aim of looking
to work directly with new inventors and promoting their products. The inventors who win are
often promoted by Association of British Inventors and Innovators.

Rain beats against the window, matching my mood. I should have known that my new job
at the hospital was too good to be true. Throughout the day, rumors warned that the newest
高二英语期末考试试卷第 1 页 共 8 页
employees from each department would be laid off. I was the newest one in the training
department.
My boss appeared. “You probably know we were cutting back on staff,” he said.
“Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other
jobs, showing them how to act in an interview, for example.”“Fine,” I answered unwillingly,
not knowing what else to say.
I decided to go home early that day. In the hall, I met the lady who brought us cookies
very Friday. She was a little woman with gray hair. Only her head and the top of her green
apron were visible over the cart (小车) loaded with cleaning supplies. At least she had a
job!
At the final meeting, laid-off workers formed a line at the door. A colleague whispered,
“I can’t believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off. We’ll miss her as much as we’ll miss
her cookies.” When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish, I knew my classes would be useless
for her.
I decided to do something for her. I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about
the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job. A few days later, my article appeared
in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position. On the same day,
I received a letter, which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice. “An editor of a local
magazine likes your piece and wants you to call her next time you are looking for work...”
4. How did the author feel on that rainy day
A. Nervous. B. Calm. C. Bored. D. Ambitious.
5. What did the author’s boss ask her to do

C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Little people can make a big difference.
C
It started with a woman, who wasn’t doing anything particularly awful, but I just felt
unhappy when I looked at the photo on her blog. I couldn’t even tell you what exactly the
picture was, but I just remember the feeling that came over me: annoyance and unhappiness.
It happened again a few weeks later, a college girl posted a photo, who I remember as
not being very nice. Suddenly, I decided that I’d had enough. “I don’t need to follow
these people on social media. Why am 1 flooding my life with people that make me unhappy ”
I unfollowed (取消关注) her. However, she probably wouldn’t even care. No one called me
out for cutting off a needless form of communication with someone I didn’t actually like.
I went back to the woman’s page and unfollowed her, too. And then I began to rid my social
media platforms of people who didn’t make me happy.
高二英语期末考试试卷第 2 页 共 8 页
Working as a social media strategist, I find it hard for us women to give up all social
media platforms, but I also don’t want to be made unhappy whenever I am on them throughout
the day. Besides, I like social media when it’s a healthy space for me. So instead of the
extreme choice of giving it all up, I decided I’d fill my feed with the people and things
that made me the happiest. When I realized how much better I felt when I didn’t see that
blogger post a video that made me roll my eyes or a picture that brought me to tears. I knew
I had made the right decision.
Now, my feed fills me with joy when I see my friends post about their vacations and my
family with their partners. Social media doesn’t have to be the terrible place everyone
says it is, but you have to be willing to make the first move to make it that way.
8. How did the author feel when seeing the photo posted by the college girl
A. Excited. B. Surprised. C. Annoyed. D. Concerned.
9. What did the author do with people on social media
A. She said sorry for being away from them.
B. She got rid of those who made her unhappy.
C. She warned them of the danger on social media.
D. She communicated with them frequently on the Internet.
10. What do we know about the author
A. She regards social media as a healthy space.
B. Her job has close connection with social media.
C. Her friends posting vacation photos made her unhappy.
D. She provides friends on social media with happy pictures.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The advantage of social media. B. Following bloggers on social media.
C. The happiness from unfollowing some people. D. The trend of deleting friends on social
media.
D
Scientists have proved the idea wrong that women are underrepresented in the science,
technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) industries because of biological differences
which affect their math skills. Girls and boys have similar brains and are equally able when
it comes to understanding math, according to the study.
The research involved 104 children aged between 3 to 10 years old, 55 of whom were girls.
The kids watched an educational video featuring math concepts such as counting and addition,
while the scientists recorded their brain activity using an MRI scanner. The team then
compared all the scan results. According to the data, there was no difference between the
children’s brain functions or development. And the boys and girls appeared to be equally
tuned into the videos. The team also looked at the results of a math ability test taken by
97 children aged between 3 and 8 years old, 50 of whom were girls. Both genders performed
equally well, regardless of age.
Between 2015 and 2016, women made up only 35.5 percent of STEM students in the US, 32.6
percent of masters courses, and 33.7 percent at PhD level. Jessica Cantlon, professor of
高二英语期末考试试卷第 3 页 共 8 页
developmental neuroscience at Carnegie Mellon University and senior author of the paper,
commented in a statement: “Science doesn’t align with folk beliefs. We see that children’
s brains function similarly regardless of their gender so hopefully we can redefine
expectations of what children can achieve in mathematics.”
Cantlon said: “Typical socialization can enlarge small differences between boys and
girls that can snowball into how we treat them in science and math. We need to be aware of
these origins to ensure we aren’t the ones causing the gender unfairness.”
Alyssa Kersey, postdoctoral scholar at the University of Chicago and first author on
the paper, said in a statement: “I’s not just that boys and girls are using the math network
in the same ways but that similarities are evident across the entire brain. This is an
important reminder that humans are more similar to each other than we are different.”
12. How did the researchers know of the children’s brain functions
A. By using an MRI scanner. B. By asking them questions.
C. By testing their experiment abilities. D. By recording an educational video.
13. What does the underlined phrase “align with” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Vary with. B. Deal with. C. Fight with. D. Agree with.
14. What causes the gender gap in STEM field according to Cantlon
A. The different interests. B. The gender unfairness.
C. The gender imbalance. D. The biological differences.
15. What does Alyssa Kersey think of the result of the study
A. Controversial. B. Significant. C. Unexpected. D. Absurd.
