Sunday, 10 May Sunny
Today I took part in a volunteer activity which was organised by the students’ union of our school.
My classmates and I took a bus to the Animal Reserve Center in our city, where some stray dogs are kept. As soon as we arrived, the workers told us how these animals were collected and what they did to help them. Then we were divided into small groups and helped them clean the cages. We were given some food to feed these animals.
I learned a lot from this activity. Animals need our care and attention, so we should devote our time to taking care of them.齐市第八高级中学2022-2023学年高一上学期期中考试

Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur (创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it ” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting experiments to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Eventually, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product — CanCandy.
As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.
Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.
How did Moore react to her dad’s warning
A. She argued with him. B. She paid no attention.
C. She tried to find a solution out. D. She chose to consult dentists.
25. What is special about CanCandy
A. It is produced to a dentists’ recipe. B. It doesn’t contain sweeteners.
C. It is sweeter than other candies. D. It is beneficial to dental health.
26. What does Moore expect from her business
A. To earn more money. B. To beat other candy companies.
C. To make herself succeed. D. To help others find smiles.
27. What can we learn from Alice Moore’s story
A. Fame is a great eagerness of the young.
B. Positive thinking and action result in success.
C. A youth is to be regarded with respect.
D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied

It’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t identify you or any of their friends—every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.
But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food.They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements.They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively(挑衅地) in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild. “If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals.But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.
28. According to the text, people commonly believe that ______.
A. fish don’t recognize any of their friends
B. a fish’s memory lasts for only seven minutes
C. fish can only remember part of their past experiences
D. fish can remember things that happened long ago
29. How can fish benefit most from a good memory
A. They can remember their enemies and fight.
B. They can remember where to get food and survive.
C. They can remember their friends and help each other.
D. They can remember where to go when in danger.
30. What can we learn from the text
A. Only African cichlids have a good memory.
B. African cichlids can remember things for 12 days.
C. African cichlids always treat other fish aggressively.
D. African cichlids don’t belong to the list of smart animals.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. What we can learn from fish.
B. Fish having a very bad memory.
C. How fish improve their memory.
D. Fish being smarter than we thought.
D
Nostalgia(怀旧) has become increasingly common in our current climate of unexpected, fast-paced change. More and more people are turning back with longing for what feels like simpler, sweeter times. They collect cassette tapes, manual typewriters, even decades-old video games.
Is it a mistake to get too obsessed(着迷的) with the past Some psychologists warn that too much devotion to the so-called good old days is an escape from reality; it can show loneliness or that a person is having a difficult time coping in the present. Psychologist Stephanie Coontz argues that nostalgia distracts(使分心) us from addressing the problems of modern life and contributes to anxiety, depression, insomnia etc.
But new studies suggest that a modest dose of nostalgia is not only harmless, but actually beneficial. They suggest it helps strengthen our sense of identity and makes us feel more optimistic and inspired. It is also a tool for self-discovery and memories are a psychological immune response that is triggered when you want to take a break from negativity. Interestingly, those happy memories can be particularly beneficial both to kids in their teens and to society’s elders. Recalling our childhood reminds us of “the times when we were valued and loved unconditionally,” says Krystine Batcho, a psychologist. “That is such a powerfully comforting phenomenon, knowing that there was a time in life when we didn’t have to earn our love.” Nostalgia can transform(转变)even the most ordinary past into legends which warms the heart and the body. Let’s not forget that nostalgia has been a source of inspiration to innumerable American writers. Mark Twain recalled his boyhood, writing “after all these years, I can picture that old time to myself now, just as it was then: The white town drowsing in the sunshine of a summer’s morning.”
So go ahead, daydream a little about your best childhood friend, your first car, a long-gone family pet. As Dr. Sedikidessays, “Nostalgia is absolutely central to human experience.” But at the same time, keep these words of wisdom from the great inventor Charles Kettering in mind as well: “You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.”
32. What did some psychologists in paragraph 2 probably agree
A. Nostalgia can cause some mental problems.
B. Nostalgia makes us devoted to the present life.
C. Nostalgia shows you are trying to get rid of loneliness.
D. Nostalgia helps us deal with the difficult time we are going through.
33. There are many benefits of nostalgia except ______.
A. It can enable us to know ourselves better.
B. It can bring us some comfort when we recall.
C. We are likely to gain attention if we recall the happy childhood.
D. We can sometimes break away from negativity with happy memories.
34. What will be talked about in the following paragraph
A. The reasons why we should avoid nostalgia.
B. The great changes nostalgia will bring to you.
C. The bad memories that always stick around you.
D. The bad influence of too much devotion to nostalgia.
35. What does the author intend to tell us
A. People tend to be lost in nostalgia.
B. People actually benefit from nostalgia.
C. Childhood memories influence present life.
D. There are some periods when people look back.
