One possible version:
Alan sat on his bed and cried for a long time. And then he wiped his tears and started to clean his room. It took him two hours to clean up his room. “I did it!” he said proudly. He even found his missing shoe. He ran to the living room. “Grandma, come and see. I cleaned my room and found my shoe.” Grandma looked at Alan's room and smiled. “If you had kept it this way, you wouldn't have lost your shoe and your mom wouldn't have punished you,” she said.
Alan and his grandma were sitting at the table, eating when his mom,dad and Alex came home. “Well, look at Alan's room! It's clean,” his dad said. “How was the Lego Land Did you have fun I wish I could have gone there with you,” Alan said. “If you keep your room clean, we may go to the Lego Land again next month,” his mom said. From then on, Alan tried to keep his room clean.汤原县中2022-2023学年高二上学期期中考试

Four of the Most Magical Movies from Your Childhood
Whether it was the enchanting characters, the memorable scenes or simply because it was the first film your mum or dad took you to, these are the movies that have left the most lasting impressions over the decades.
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
“I loved it for two reasons. First, it showed a wonderful, loving extended family. I was fascinated by their kitchen setting and the little corner where the boy Charlie slept. Second, inside the chocolate factory was what all children dreamed of. The whole movie transported me from my childhood worries into a fairyland world.” — Margaret McKee
Dumbo
“For a kid who often felt like he didn’t fit in, and wasn’t good at anything, it was magical to see Dumbo discover his talent and become loved and celebrated.” — Lorraine
The Never-ending Story
“It has to be the most magical movie. The story has everything a young kid can ask for: a great story, a mythical flying dog and an interesting ending. Our family continue to watch it today. ” — Aaron Elliott
The Sound of Music
“When I was young, movies were a treat, with lollies, friends and a canvas seat. There was a special one that I did adore, and many times I’ve gone back for more. The songs, the scenery and the story line always transport me to another time. It is such a classic that my memories of it are so fantastic.” — Joanne Carter
21. What is “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” about
A. A dangerous situation. B. A fairyland world.
C. A mysterious friend. D. An unexpected incident.
22.Which movie may most help children lacking confidence
A. Dumbo. B. The Never-ending Story.
C. The Sound of Music D. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
23. What does Aaron Elliott think of “The Never-ending Story”

C. It influences people of all ages. D. It is the most meaningful movie.
B
When I was growing up,Father Christmas played an important part in my family's Christmas tradition.
Each year my parents would feed us a light meal, make sure we put on our new pajamas（睡衣）and put us to bed. Father Christmas himself was going to leave presents at night! A few hours later, my mom would wake us up telling us to hurry up because he was getting ready to leave. With our eyes barely（勉强地）open, we would go down the stairs and Father Christmas would meet us at the bottom of the stairs by name, tell us how good we were that year, and hand us each a present. In all the excitement,we didn't realize that our dad was missing until he walked in the door.
When I was 8 years old, my mom very gently and lovingly told me that Father Christmas was just a fun story. She then asked me to never tell my younger sisters or any of the other kids in our family.She believed every child should decide on their own when they were ready to move on and know the truth about Father Christmas. It was a promise I have kept all these years.
Until this year.
My youngest son is 10, and I thought other children might make fun of him if he were to say Father Christmas was real.So I gently mentioned that there really wasn't a man who lived in the North Pole.
“Oh,okay.I know that.”
I then told him not to ever tell anyone else, especially his two cousins, who at 7 and 5 still believe. I didn't want him to blow my father's cover.
“Mom,I know Father Christmas is Grandpa and I won't say anything to them.”
It then dawned on（使开始明白）me that for my children, Father Christmas would always be real. For them, he was their grandfather who took the time each year to dress up and their grandmother helped him get ready so that their Christmas could be a little more special. My mother was right: Christmas is the spirit of love and giving.
24.What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2
A.Her great expectation of Father Christmas.
B.The importance of Father Christmas to her.
C.Her memories of Christmas celebrations in her family.
D.The preparation her family made for Christmas Eve.
25.Why did the author's mother let her keep the secret of Father Christmas from other kids
A.She wanted to give them a surprise.
B.She didn't know how to explain it.
C.She didn't think they were old enough to understand it.
D.She thought they should decide when to unlock it by themselves.
26.What does the underlined part “blow my fathers cover” mean in Paragraph 7
A.Say no to the Christmas present from my father.
B.Regard my father as the real Father Christmas.
C.Tell the truth about my father dressing up as Father Christmas.
D.Notice my father being away from the family party at Christmas.
27.What is the best title for the text
A.The True Spirit of Christmas
B.The Real Life of Father Christmas
C.A Secret My Son Found at Christmas
D.My Experience of Meeting Father Christmas
C
As children, we are well-trained to find the right answer. We are rewarded for A's,the honor roll and acing the test. Our education trains us to follow the rules and deliver the expected answers. When we do, awards and congratulations follow. Yet when we grow up, it gets a little harder. Life and careers don't have tests with an A if we get the “right answer".
I recently had coffee with a college student who will graduate.She is struggling with what she wants for her career. She wants her parents to be proud of her and to continue the success she has had in school. She also talked about other students in her graduating class who are set to do“some big things", like working for impressive companies. Yet she wasn't sure of the right answer for using her degree. She said that deep down she was hoping that someone might give her the answer.
We both agreed that it comes down to not looking for the right answer, but her answer. The grown-up definition of the “right answer” is different from that in school. What would you do if you weren't afraid It takes time to know these answers. And they can change over time and at any point in your career. My encouragement is to get valued advice and input, of course, but finally to look within yourself for the answers.
It helps to come back to: What do I want to be known for What is my definition of success What am I best at If I had no fears, what would I do What is one step I can take today to move me towards my goal (even if it's not perfectly clear)
I find these types of questions are more helpful at getting to our unique answer rather than “ right answer"questions,such as:What will my parents want What degree or job will mark me as accomplished to the world What is my best option based on where I work today
28.What does the author mean to say in the first paragraph
A.Life is harder for adults than children.
B. Academic excellence is not necessary.
C.It is not helpful to follow the rules in school.
D.Rules in life are different from those in school.
29.What is wrong with the college student
A.She does badly in her studies.
B.Her parents are not proud of her.
C.She feels puzzled about her life career.
D.She is not sure whether to do “some big things".
30. What is the author's suggestion on seeking answers in life
A.Trusting your parents. B. Listening to your heart.
C.Following the experts' advice. D.Learning from your classmates.
31.What can the questions in the last paragraph lead to
A.The right answer. B.A satisfying degree.
C.One's particular answer. D.The achievement of our parents' dream.
D
Going on vacation can be challenging for people with physical disabilities. Hotels aren't always clear about how accessible they are and the adaptive equipment needed to participate in certain activities can be expensive or difficult to obtain.
This is where the online travel website Wheel the World comes in.The website connects physically disabled people with special tour packages, depending on the person's needs.
Today Wheel the World offers over 30 accessible destinations in the U.S. and abroad.They've served almost 900 disabled people, their family, and friends. Travelers can sign up for trips to destinations such as New York, Hawaii, Paris, London, and Kruger National Park in South Africa.Trip packages can include adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs, which can be used on the beach and in the ocean,and kayaks （皮艇）, which can help those disabled to kayak. The team also checks the accessibility of destinations themselves,evaluating things such as door widths, bed heights, bathrooms' accessibility and if lifts are functioning.
Silberstein, the company's founder, says there are some trips that are suitable for blind people, though Wheel the World focuses on people with mobility issues. And in the future, they plan to include trips for people with hearing loss, and people with emotional disabilities."One of the biggest barriers for travelers with physical disabilities is finding information about accessible trips,which is a gap Wheel the World aims to close," says Silberstein.
Wheel the World is working to enlarge tours in Europe-currently their website lists London and Paris as the only destinations on the continent, but their eventual goal is much higher.“We want to allow millions of disabled people to travel to thousands of destinations," Silberstein says.
32.What is the function of the first paragraph
A.To show the great success Wheel the World has gained.
B.To tell us the difficulties the disabled face in life.
C.To introduce the background of Wheel the World.
D.To remind us of the problems with hotel service.
33.What does Wheel the World focus on
A.Collecting travel information for tourists.
B.Increasing the online sales of wheelchairs.
C.Extending travel business to the whole world.
D.Providing proper travel services for the disabled.
34.What does the text mainly tell us
A.Silberstein has made significant contributions to global tourism.
B.Wheel the World helps people with disabilities enjoy their vacations.
C.Advanced equipment is enabling the disabled to travel around the world.
D.Tour packages intended for blind and deaf tourists have won wide recognition.
35.Which of the following can best describe Silberstein
A.Kind and full-hearted.
B.Determined and humorous.
C.Flexible but aimless.
D.Creative but hesitant.

For many teenagers, the weekend is a time to relax and socialize. 36._______
Saturday jobs have been a way for young people to earn money and get some work experience for years.
In 1999, almost half of all 16 and 17-year-olds in the UK were doing some kind of paid work. By 2019, this number had almost been reduced by half. This has left some people wondering whether the Saturday job is dying out. Some adults say that this means young people are missing out on valuable life skills and experiences.37_________
Yes—it prepares teenagers for life. Having a weekend job means that teenagers can start earning their own money.38_______ It will also benefit them later in life because weekend jobs give young people experience of the working world. Without it, they’ll be less prepared for starting their first full-time job. Weekend jobs also teach important life skills. 39_______Teenagers who don't have a weekend job are missing out on a valuable experience.
40_______ Not having a weekend job means more time for teenagers to focus on school work and their hobbies. In any case, teenagers today don't have to do the weekend jobs their parents did in order to make money and get experience. There will be a lot of time for work once they've left school.
A.No—there are other things to do.
B.For others, it is time to go to work.
C. So should teenagers work at weekends
D.They include timekeeping and teamwork.
E.No—it can do a lot of harm to teenagers.
F. So what do you think of teenagers working on weekends
G.This will make them more independent from their parents for money.

During breakfast, Alan suggested going to the Lego Land to have fun and his mom agreed.
“We'll stop by the supermarket and buy some snacks and fruits. Now hurry and eat and then we'll go. It's going to be a lovely day. Grandma is coming with us. She'll be here any minute.”
Alan ate his breakfast and then ran into his room to get his shoes. The problem was that he could only find one of them. He looked under his bed, but all he could see were dirty pants. He moved some of his toys out of the way, but still couldn't find his shoe. After he had checked everywhere in his room, he ran into the kitchen. “Mom, I can't find my shoe. Will you wait while I look for it ” he asked.
His mom thought about how many times she'd told Alan to clean his room up. She said something to Alan's grandma in a low voice. Then, she said to Alan,“You will have to stay home. Your dad and I will take your brother Alex to the Lego Land. Grandma will stay at home with you.”
“No! Please wait for me. I want to go to the Lego Land,” Alan cried. “I'm sorry, Alan. I've told you a dozen times to clean your room and you did not do it. You can't find your shoe now. It's your own fault for not cleaning your room.You will stay home.”
Alan ran into his bedroom, crying. His mom came to the door and said, “Alan, clean that room of yours before I get home. I've told Grandma not to give you any sweets until you make your room clean and tidy.” She went out with Alex and the brothers' dad. After a minute, they drove away.
