【参考答案】
Matt brought some presents to the living room for the kids besides the starless tree. Lilly and Brandon were practically shouting with excitement. “Come on, Dad!” “Let’s do this!” I cast a glance at Finn, still playing on his own. With a sigh, I sat down on the couch. I thought Finn might get to his gifts in his own time. Lilly and Brandon surrounded their father while he sorted the presents. Suddenly, Finn came up to me. He pulled on my sleeve to get my attention. Finn pointed to the top of the tree.
“You want to put the star on the top ” I asked, looking where his finger was pointing. Finn nodded. I hurried to the basement and got the star. I handed him the star. He gripped it tightly and determinedly. I could feel the other kids holding their breath. Matt raised Finn onto his shoulders for a good reach. My heart pounded. Finn held on to the star. “Go, Finn! You can do it!” Lilly and Brandon said. Finn set the star on the top branch and slowly drew back his hand. We all cheered with tears. Finn looked down at us from a top his dad’s shoulders, beaming like a star himself.齐市第八高级中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期末考试

Miracle Moore, a 10-year-old girl has got praise as a hero from government officials at a ceremony (典礼) after she helped her mother give birth to her baby sister at home with little more than some guidance from a 911 operator.
Miracle Moore dialed up emergency help after her mom went into labor three weeks early at their home in Jennings, Missouri, north of St Louis, on 22 October. There wasn’t time to get her mother—Viola Fair—to a hospital, so the operator told the girl what she should do through the birthing process. The girl relayed the information to her mother over the 10-minute phone call. When it was over, Fair and Miracle welcomed a baby girl named Jayla to their family and the world.
“It was surely a miracle because once I had the baby, she came out, I couldn’t really pick her up, and then Miracle came and she wrapped (包裹) her up in a towel,” Fair said of her daughter. “She wiped her off and rubbed her back a little bit, so she could cry. So she was really helpful. I am very thankful.”
Medical staff soon arrived to bring the new baby and her mother to a hospital for an examination, and everyone was finally given a clean bill of health.
Miracle was honored for her heroism at the ceremony. Afterward, she said the most exciting moment of the entire experience for her was getting to be the first person who saw Jayla. Above all, the experience made Miracle realize what she wants to devote her life to when she grows up. “I want to be a doctor,” Miracle said at the ceremony.
The 911 operator who spoke to Miracle on the day of Jayla’s birth, Scott Stranghoener, said that the 10-year-old “did an amazing job”. “She followed all of my instructions to a T,” Stranghoener said.
She truly lived up to her name, Miracle Moore.
24．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．The government’s praise for Miracle.
B．How Miracle helped her mother in labor.
C．How Miracle rushed her mother to hospital.
D．Miracle’s preparations for her mother’s labor.
25．Which of the following best describes Miracle
A．Brave. B．Humorous. C．Outgoing. D．Positive.
26．What does the underlined phrase “to a T” in paragraph 6 mean
A．Creatively. B．Correctly. C．Responsibly. D．Immediately.
27．The experience influenced Miracle most in that __________.
A．she had an idea of her future job
B．she got praise from the government
C．she was the first to see her baby sister
D．she improved her communication skills
C
Fresh fruit juice has become increasingly popular in many diets - especially among those consumers who are pressed for time and concerned about their health.Fruit juice has also been linked to beliefs that it can help people lose weight.But is juicing really as healthy as we think
A recent study reveals hard truths about fruit juice.
All fruits contain sugars and don’t seem to have harmful effects unless they contribute to excess(过量的)daily calories.This is because the fiber which is found in whole fruit is undamaged，and the sugar is contained within the fruit’s cells.It takes our digestive system a while to break these cells down and for sugar to enter the bloodstream.
This is not the case with fruit juiceDifferent from whole fruit，the natural sugar in fruit juice counts as “free sugars”，just like honey and added sugars.With the fiber removed，fruit juice’s sugar is absorbed more quickly.A sudden rise of blood sugar causes the pancreas(胰腺)to release insulin(胰岛素)to bring it back down to a normal level.Over time，this system can wear out，increasing the risk of developing type-2 diabetes(糖尿病).
In 2013，after analysing the health data of 100，000 people collected between 1986 and 2009，researchers found that fruit juice consumption was linked with increased risk of type-2 diabetes．They’ve concluded that even when fruit juice is similar in the nutritional content to whole fruit，fruit juice leads to faster and larger changes in insulin levels since liquids pass through the stomach faster than solids.
“Although fruit juice is better than no fruit at all，there are lots of limits，” said Dr.Amy Smith，professor of medicine at the University of Virginia.“It particularly comes with risks when we consume more than I50ml of free sugars per day，or when it puts us over our recommended calorie intake.It provides us with vitamins - but fruit juice is far from a quick fix.”
28. What leads to the increasing fruit juice popularity
A. Experts’ recommendation． B. Its obvious medical effects．
C. Its assumed benefits to health． D. People’s improved life quality．
29. Why is whole fruit healthier
A. It provides better nutrition． B. Its fiber slows sugar absorption．
C. It protects our digestive system． D. Its fiber helps remove extra sugar．
30. How did researchers draw the conclusion in 2013
A. By observing the blood sugar level．
B. By comparing liquid and solid intake．
C. By analysing previously collected data．
D. By interviewing type-2 diabetes patients.
31. What is Dr. Smith’s attitude to fruit juice
A. Positive B. Negative C. Objective D. Unclear
D
Rivers are very important. Humans rely on them for food and water. But rivers can destroy things, too. They can flood, or rise over their banks, making the water run into the nearby land. Floods can also kill humans and wildlife. However, floods are not always bad. Some ecosystems need them every once in a while.
Flooding can not only drown animals but also destroy habitats. For example, a flood in India in 2012 killed many one－horned rhinos. Flood waters can pick up dirt from riverbanks, which makes the water dirty. Too much dirt will clog rivers and streams, preventing the river from flowing. Sometimes flood waters can carry pollution to the sea and harm marine life. In addition, flood waters can carry disease, including hepatitis A and cholera.
However, not everything about floods is bad. Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. Flood waters carry nutrients to the nearby land. Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒) of dirt and mud. The particles are called sediment(沉淀物) which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and helps plants grow. Floods are important to some animals as well. For instance, some animals see floods as a sign that it is time to mate or migrate. Floods leave sediment on river beds where baby fish can grow and carry nutrients for small animals in the water to eat. Moreover, in dry seasons, water might dry up, but floods help refill the wetlands, keeping the ecosystem going.
Floods are a part of nature. They can destroy living things and the environment. But some ecosystems need floods to survive.
32．What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “clog” in paragraph 2
A．become B．pollute C．block D．develop
33．How do floods help ecosystems
A．Nutrients carried by floods can make soil richer.
B．Floods make all the animals migrate more easily.
C．Tiny fish going with floods feed some animals.
D．Floods can improve the dirt and help plants grow.
34．What’s the main idea of paragraph 3
A．The way in which floods feed animals. B．The benefits of floods to ecosystems.
C．An effective means of improving soil. D．The reason for people’s appreciating floods.
35．What’s the best title of this article
A．The Many Effects of Flooding. B．The Secret of Flooding.
C．Floods－Not Everything Is So Bad. D．Floods－a Part of Nature.

Christmas Eve, my husband and our three children gathered in the living room. The presents were wrapped under the tree. Everything was perfect except one thing was missing--- the star on the top of the Christmas tree.
Lilly and Brandon were born first, and decorating the tree soon became the focus of our Christmas traditions. We would lift one of the kids up high to put the star on top. “The star that shone with promise,” I told the kids. The two kids took turns to do this important job.
Then Finn was born. He was a happy baby, until Matt and I noticed something odd when he was 14 months old. He didn’t interact with us anymore. Then, his autism (自闭症) diagnosis came out. How to be the family Finn needed us to be In so many situations, I didn’t have an answer.
Finn turned three years old, and I hoped he was ready to take part in adding the final touch to our tree. It would be his first time, a chance to connect with us through this tradition. Matt took the older kids’ hands and stepped back to give us some room. I took the star from its box. “Here, Finn,” I said, putting the star in his little hand. “It’s your turn to put this on the top of the tree!” I went to pick him up. Finn didn’t seem to understand. He threw the star on the floor and twisted in my arms.
“Finn,” I said, “It’s okay, honey.” Still, he fought me. Finally, I put him down. I wanted to try again, but he ran away. “Finn!” I called after him, but he ignored me.
“Give him time,” Matt said. It didn’t feel right to let Lilly or Brandon place the star instead. It was Finn’s turn, and I didn’t want to leave him out. So, the tree remained starless that Christmas. The next Christmas too. And the one after that, waiting for Finn. This Christmas, however, I simply gave up trying and left the star in the box somewhere in the basement.
