(2023 春 · 贵州贵阳 · 高一校联考阶段练习) In the cartoon Tom and Jerry, Tom tries his best to catch Jerry, and Jerry keeps finding ways to escape. Both Tom and Jerry have their own challenges but they were born to never give up. Here are four life lessons we can learn from these two cartoon characters:
We turn to our nearest and dearest ones when facing difficulties because we feel it is our right. Well, it doesn’t really matter how many times we ask for help; what matters is whether we provide emotional security when they are in the face of threats. Do we offer our shoulders when they are in need of us or stand by them when they feel upset Do we share our happiness with them
If you are witty, then your size does not matter at all. A weak man might get frightened for a moment but he can defeat the strongest with his intelligence. Jerry just makes good use of his brain and wins. If you ever feel lost, disappointed, or weak, return to yourself and try to explore your strength. “You never know how strong you can be until being strong is the only choice you have.”
At times, your best friend might behave rudely or seem to be your greatest enemy. It’s not the time to express your anger and prove him or her wrong. It is quite likely that your friend expects you to be wiser in difficult situations and wants you to acknowledge your mistakes. Love is expressed in a variety of ways.
Be prepared to face difficulties even if you have had enough. There is an old saying, “Every difficulty is an opportunity!” . Be prepared and let them come and get you bothered; they will make you a stronger and wiser person. It often happens that whenever Tom thinks that all is done Jerry eventually wins.

2 .What does the underlined word “witty” in paragraph 3 mean
A .Strong. B .Wise. C .Confident. D .Hopeful.
3 .If your best friend behaves rudely toward you, what should you do
A .Express your anger to him or her. B .Try to prove him or her wrong.
C .Regard him as your enemy. D .Imagine it as a way of expressing love.
4 .Why is the old saying “Every difficulty is an opportunity!” mentioned in the last paragraph
A .To tell us we should be confident of overcoming all the difficulties.

(2023 春·重庆· 高一重庆巴蜀中学校考期中)If you hold up a seashell to your ear, you will hear the sea, no matter how far inland you currently are. In fact, it is not the case. So, what’s actually going on here
One popular explanation is that you are listening to your own blood coursing through you. Popular as this blood theory is, it doesn’t hold water. “Press your ear to a shell and listen, then run around on the beach for a few minutes to increase the blood flow all through your body, and again listen to your magic shell,” Kruszelnicki wrote. “You’ll find that the loudness of the ‘sound of the sea is still the same’ .”
If we truly were hearing the sound of our blood rushing through our bodies, that wouldn’t be the case: exercising makes your blood pressure rise, which would thus increase the supposed sounds being “reflected” by the shell. The fact that we don’t hear a difference before and after exercise, therefore, makes quite an evident statement.
There’s another idea that the “sea” you can hear in a shell is actually air-air flowing through the shell and out again, which creates the noise. “In a soundproof room, you won’t hear anything from a shell,” confirmed Andrew King, director of the University of Oxford’s Centre for Integrative Neuroscience. “Background noise must be present.” That’s the biggest clue as to what’s really going on here: the sounds we hear “inside” seashells are not coming from inside our bodies, but rather around them.
“You are hearing surrounding or background noise that has been increased in amplitude ( 振 幅) by the physical characteristic of the seashell,” King explained, “the specific sounds we hear within a shell depend on the exact shape of itself-the hard, curved surfaces inside the shell cause the sound waves that enter to bounce around, increasing some frequencies while reducing others.”
Seashells may be the most poetic of ways to experience this resonance (共振), but they’re definitely not the only method - pretty much any convex (凹面的) surface will do.
5 .What is the author’s attitude toward the blood theory in paragraph 2
A .Opposing. B .Supportive. C .Defensive. D .Unconcerned.
6 .What can we infer from Andrew King’s words
A .Background noise can be heard in a soundproof room.
B .The sound from seashells is the changed noise around you.
C .The shape of seashells can help produce the same sea sound.
D .Sound waves can bounce around to increase them in your ears.
7 .What is the text mainly about
A .Why you can hear the sea from a seashell.
B .How people explore the secret of seashells.
C .Why popular beliefs sometimes prove wrong.
D .How scientists produce a sound as a seashell does.
8 .What do you think the author will mention next
A .Different types of seashells. B .Causes of the sea sound.
C .The sound in soundproof rooms. D .Ways to set off resonance.
(2023 春·重庆 · 高一重庆巴蜀中学校考期中) Long before the pandemic(疫情), many adults turned to toys from Legos to collectible items to tap into their inner childhood for comfort. But all the stresses from the health problems stimulated(刺激)and strengthened the trend, according to Jim Silver, editor-in-chief of a toy review site.
This so-called “kid-adult” market is significant. Ages 18 and older represented 14% of U. S. toy industry sales, or $5. 7 billion in 2022. It grew 19% compared with that in 2021, according to the NPD Group Inc. , a market research firm. This group also enjoyed the second-fastest increase after customers aged 12 to 17.
Last year, Build-a-Bear launched a website called Bear Cave for the 18-year-old and over, highlighting items like toy rabbits holding a bottle of wine. And Basic Fun took a high-tech on the traditional Lite Brite toy from the 1960s and recreated it as wall art with thousands of pegs and 45 LED lights aimed at the adults in time for the holidays-with a $99 price tag. McDonald’s tapped into this group, releasing adult Happy Meals in October with toys designed by the fashion brand Cactus Plant Flea Market.
Loren Brereton,61,was recently visiting the American Girl store with her granddaughter Alana,7. She said that during the pandemic, she took comfort looking at her own daughter’s dolls. She also pulled out some of her son’s Lego’s and other toys and played with them. And she was thinking of buying a few playthings for herself. “All of those games have brought me comfort when I was a kid, but, you know, sort of changed you at different times when you needed it,”she said. “And you needed it. ”
“The pandemic certainly served as a stimulus for this trend as adults found themselves stuck at home with nothing else to do with a lot of time in their hands,”said Genevieve Cruz, senior director at Lego, “But we do believe that the trend goes beyond the pandemic. ”
9 .What do we know about the U. S. toy industry
A .It drew more adults than teenagers. B .It used to be no attraction to adults.

10 .What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A .Adult toys gradually took over the toy industry.
B .Adults had easy access to toys intended for adults.
C .Many companies launched products targeted at adults.
D .Some companies producing adult toys were established.

(2023 春 · 贵州贵阳 · 高一校联考阶段练习) Beijing Opera is a kind of Chinese opera which is widely regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China. With its fascinating and artistic accompanying music, singing and costumes, Beijing Opera is China’s national opera. Full of Chinese cultural facts, the opera presents the audience with an encyclopedia (百科全书) of Chinese culture, as well as unfolding stories, beautiful paintings, nice costumes, graceful gestures and martial arts. Since Beijing Opera enjoys a higher reputation and is so popular among Chinese people, especially seniors.
The Beijing Opera band mainly consists of an orchestra and percussion (打击乐) band. The former frequently accompanies peaceful scenes while the latter provides the right atmosphere for battle scenes. The commonly used percussion instruments include castanets (响板), drums and bells.
Beijing Opera has a 200-year-long history. Its main melodies originated from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei respectively and, over time, absorbed music and arias from other operas and musical arts such as the historic Qinqiang as well as being very strongly influenced by Kunqu, the form that preceded it as court art. Techniques from many other local operas were incorporated into Beijing Opera.
It is believed that Beijing Opera gradually came into being after 1790 when the famous four Anhui opera troupes came to Beijing. Beijing Opera underwent fast development during the reign of Emperor Qianlong and the notorious Empress Dowager Cixi under the imperial patron, eventually becoming more accessible to the common people.
In ancient times, Beijing Opera was performed mostly on stage in the open air, tea houses or temple courtyards. Since the orchestra played loudly, the performers developed a piercing style of song that could be
heard by everyone. Beijing Opera is a harmonious combination of the Grand Opera, ballet and acrobatics (杂技),
consisting of dance, dialogue, monologues (独白), martial arts and mime (哑剧).
In 1828, some famous Hubei troupes came to Beijing. They often jointly performed in the stage with Anhui troupes. The combination gradually formed Beijing Opera’s main melodies.

(2023 春 · 贵州贵阳 · 高一校联考阶段练习) Goldfish have pretty boring lives, so maybe it’s a good thing that they can only concentrate for nine seconds! But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish. Our attention span (时长) is getting shorter and it’s all because of technology.
“We move quickly from one site to another on the web,” says Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “and we are losing the ability to concentrate.” With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average Internet user is just seconds. There are other digital distractions (分心) too: e-mail, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites.
Some people are worried about the effect on young people. “You need time to understand and think about what you read”, says Julia Wood, from London. “Young people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it. I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”
Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students’ concentration. Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons. She says that
it had an amazing effect, “The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.”
But not everyone believes that there is a problem. Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says, “On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn’t worth reading. They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully. In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”
17 .Why are humans becoming like goldfish
A .They have a wealthy life. B .They like to go fishing.
C .They are influenced by digital distractions. D .They feed more goldfish in their life.
18 .What may be the reason of human’s losing the ability to concentrate
A .There are too many Internet users. B .They have to skip around the Internet.
C .They can move very quickly. D .They are too young to concentrate.
19 .What will help students deal with the short attention span problem
A .Receiving emails. B .Texting messages.
C .Watching quickie movies. D .Reading more books.
20 .What is Ray Cole’s attitude towards looking through websites quickly
A .Supportive. B .Unfavorable. C .Skeptical. D .Cautious.
(2023 秋 · 四川眉山 · 高一仁寿一中校考开学考试) Malaria (疟疾) has been a deadly problem for humans since ancient times. Usually, people get malaria when infected mosquitoes (被感染的蚊子) bite them. Countless people have died from it. Thankfully, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou found an effective drug called qinghaosu (青 蒿素).
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Tu’s discovery. In 1969, Tu became the director of a national project to develop a drug against malaria. Her team took a unique approach ( 方法). They went back to books about classical Chinese medicine. After reading more than 2,000 old remedies (药方), Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and listed almost 380 possible remedies for malaria.
One remedy (治疗法), which is 1,600 years old, uses the sweet wormwood (青蒿) plant to treat malaria. Tu found it effective and tried to extract (提取) the qinghaosu from it in order to make drugs. The extraction failed at first, so Tu returned to the classical books again and finally found a way. She used a low-temperature method to extract the qinghaosu and succeeded in 1972.
After her team showed that qinghaosu could treat malaria in mice and monkeys, Tu and two of her colleagues (同事) volunteered to test the drug on themselves before testing on human patients. It turned out that qinghaosu was safe. All patients in the tests recovered. Gradually, qinghaosu became the first-line treatment (治疗
方案) for malaria recommended (推荐) by the World Health Organization (WHO), saving millions of lives around
the world.
In 2015, when Tu was awarded with the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, she refused to take all of the credit (荣誉). Instead, she praised her colleagues and Chinese traditional medicine. She once proudly said: “Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world.”
21 .When was qinghaosu discovered
A .In 1969. B .In 1972. C .In 2015. D .More than 1, 600 years ago.
22 .What is qinghaosu
A .It is a kind of plant. B .It is a classical Chinese medicine.
C .It is an element (元素) extracted from plants.D .It is an old Chinese folk remedy.
23 .Why did Tu Youyou’s first extraction fail
A .Because she used the wrong type of plant.
B .Because it was a folk remedy.
C .Because the extraction was done at a low temperature.
D .Because the temperature of the extraction is not low enough.
24 .Why did Tu’s colleagues test the drug on themselves first
A .Because people didn’t believe it could treat malaria
B .Because they couldn’t find suitable animals to do the tests.
C .Because her colleagues were in need of the drug.
D .Because they wanted to test the safety of the drug.
(2022 春·贵州黔南 · 高一贵州省龙里中学校考期中) Traveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office ”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks ( 地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure (衡量) distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office ” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please ” To this question you won’t get an answer, because most probably they don’t know it themselves. People in Greece sometimes do not even try to
give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow
me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan! However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language.
25 .Which one of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions
A .“Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”
B .“The post office is about five minutes from here.”
C .“Turn right at the hospital and go past a school. ”
D .“The post office is at Street Kamira.”
26 .People in Los Angeles give directions by time because ________.
A .they use landmarks in their directions instead of distance
B .they prefer to lead you the way
C .they often have no idea of distance measured by miles
D .they prefer to use body language
27 .Greeks give directions by ________.
A .leading people the way
B .using landmarks
C .using street names
D .giving people a wrong direction
28 .Where is Yucatan
A .In the USA . B .In Japan.
C .In Greece. D .In Mexico.
(2023 春·湖北 · 高一华中师大一附中校考期中)I am standing next to a five-year old girl in Pormpuraaw, a small Aboriginal (土著的) community in northern Australia. When I ask her to point north, she points precisely and without hesitation. My compass says she is right. Later, back in a lecture hall at Stanford University, I make the same request of an audience of excellent professors. Many refuse; they do not know the answer.
A five-year-old in one culture can do something with ease that great scientists in other cultures struggle with. This is a big difference in cognitive (认知的) ability. What could explain it The surprising answer, it turns out, may be language.
Around the world people communicate with one another using a variety of languages— 7,000 or so all told—
and each language requires very different things from its speakers. For example, suppose I want to tell you that I saw Uncle Vanya on 42nd Street. In Mian, a language spoken in Papua New Guinea, the verb I used would reveal whether the event happened just now, yesterday or in the distant past, whereas in Indonesia, the verb wouldn’t even give away whether it had already happened or was still coming up. In Russian, the verb would reveal my gender.
Research in my lab and in many others has been uncovering how language shapes even the most basic concept of human experience: space, time, and relationships to others. Unlike English, the language spoken in Pormpuraaw does not use relative spatial terms such as left and right. Rather speakers talk in terms of absolute directions. Of course, in English we also use direction terms but only for large spatial scales (标度). We would not say, for example, “They set the salad forks southeast of the dinner forks!” But in Pormpuraaw, absolute directions are used at all scales. This means one ends up saying things like “the cup is southeast of the plate” or “the boy standing to the south of Mary is my brother.”
29 .How does the author mainly explain the role language plays in the different cognition
A .By giving numbers. B .By making comparisons.
C .By describing personal experiences. D .By presenting different viewpoints.
30 .What contributes to the girl’s success in pointing the direction
A .Her training in Stanford University. B .The challenge from professors.
C .The language she speaks. D .The English culture she absorbs.
31 .What can be shown from the verb used in the language Mian
A .The time. B .The gender. C .The space. D .The event.
32 .What is the author’s attitude towards the language spoken in Pormpuraaw
A .Favorable. B .Cautious. C .Negative. D .Objective.
(2023 春 · 湖南长沙 · 高一长沙一中校考阶段练习) A study, led by researchers from the University of California, San Diego, tracked the same 875 mother-child pairs in Chile for 16 years, conducting assessments at ages 1, 5, 10 and 16. At each visit researchers screened the mother for signs of depression and used cognitive (认 知 的) development tests on the child. They also asked questions to assess the home life, featuring the level of connection between the mother and child.
Researchers found that signs of depression in moms when the child is one are associated with lower scores on cognitive function tests for the child at age 16. “We found that mothers who were highly depressed didn’t invest ( 投入) emotionally or in providing learning materials to support their child, such as toys and books, as
much as mothers who were not depressed. This, in turn, impacted the child’s IQ at ages 5, 10 and 16,” Patricia
East, PhD, research scientist with the Department of Pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine and one of the lead authors on the study, said in a statement.
The authors found the relationship in reverse to be true, as well — lower development scores early in the child’s life promoted less engagement from mom and that only increased signs of mothers’ depression as the child entered into adolescence.
Children who had severely depressed mothers were found to have an average verbal IQ score of 7.30 compared to a score of 7.78 in children without depressed mothers. Although seemingly small, differences in IQ from 7.78 to 7.30 are highly meaningful in terms of children’s verbal skills and vocabulary, said East. “Our study results show the long-term consequences that a child can experience due to long-term mothers’ depression.”
However, the authors recognize that these families in Chile can be very different from mothers and children of other cultural backgrounds or nationalities. Besides, all the families studied were from a similar cultural background and socioeconomic status and had a similar level of education.
33 .What did the researchers do in the study
A .They screened the child for signs of depression.
B .They tested the cognitive abilities of the mother.
C .They evaluated the mother-child pairs’ relationship.
D .They ignored the mother’s educational background.
34 .What conclusion did the researchers draw
A .A kid’s IQ scores were decided by the mother’s.
B .A kid’s IQ scores were different at different ages.
C .Depressed mothers gave birth to kids with low IQ scores.
D .Mothers’ depression might negatively impact their kids’ IQ.
35 .What might be the authors’ attitude towards the results of the study
A .They don’t sound debatable.
B .They may encourage public debate.
C .They may not be very representative.
D .They have been confirmed in a large scale.
36 .What’s the best title of the passage
A .Adolescents’ Confusion in Chile
B .Impact of Mothers’ Depression on Kids
C .Significance of IQ in Kids’ Academic Tests
D .Maternal Depression and Kids’ Cognitive Test Scores

Well, it doesn’t really matter how many times we ask for help; what matters is whether we provide emotional security when they are in the face of threats. Do we offer our shoulders when they are in need of us or stand by them when they feel upset Do we share our happiness with them (当我们遇到困难时,我们会向最亲 近的人求助,因为我们觉得这是我们的权利。嗯,我们请求多少次帮助并不重要;重要的是,当他们面临 威胁时, 我们是否提供了情感上的安全感。我们是在他们需要我们的时候伸出肩膀, 还是在他们难过的时 候站在他们身边?我们和他们分享我们的快乐吗?)”可知,我们从卡通人物身上学到的第一个经验教训是: 如果有必要,帮我们的朋友的忙。故选 A。

(2023 春·重庆· 高一重庆巴蜀中学校考期中)If you hold up a seashell to your ear, you will hear the sea, no matter how far inland you currently are. In fact, it is not the case. So, what’s actually going on here
One popular explanation is that you are listening to your own blood coursing through you. Popular as this blood theory is, it doesn’t hold water. “Press your ear to a shell and listen, then run around on the beach for a few minutes to increase the blood flow all through your body, and again listen to your magic shell,” Kruszelnicki wrote. “You’ll find that the loudness of the ‘sound of the sea is still the same’ .”
If we truly were hearing the sound of our blood rushing through our bodies, that wouldn’t be the case: exercising makes your blood pressure rise, which would thus increase the supposed sounds being “reflected” by the shell. The fact that we don’t hear a difference before and after exercise, therefore, makes quite an evident statement.
There’s another idea that the “sea” you can hear in a shell is actually air-air flowing through the shell and out again, which creates the noise. “In a soundproof room, you won’t hear anything from a shell,” confirmed Andrew King, director of the University of Oxford’s Centre for Integrative Neuroscience. “Background noise must be present.” That’s the biggest clue as to what’s really going on here: the sounds we hear “inside” seashells are not coming from inside our bodies, but rather around them.
“You are hearing surrounding or background noise that has been increased in amplitude ( 振 幅) by the physical characteristic of the seashell,” King explained, “the specific sounds we hear within a shell depend on the exact shape of itself-the hard, curved surfaces inside the shell cause the sound waves that enter to bounce around, increasing some frequencies while reducing others.”
Seashells may be the most poetic of ways to experience this resonance (共振), but they’re definitely not the only method - pretty much any convex (凹面的) surface will do.
5 .What is the author’s attitude toward the blood theory in paragraph 2
A .Opposing. B .Supportive. C .Defensive. D .Unconcerned.
6 .What can we infer from Andrew King’s words
A .Background noise can be heard in a soundproof room.
B .The sound from seashells is the changed noise around you.
C .The shape of seashells can help produce the same sea sound.
D .Sound waves can bounce around to increase them in your ears.
7 .What is the text mainly about
A .Why you can hear the sea from a seashell.
B .How people explore the secret of seashells.
C .Why popular beliefs sometimes prove wrong.
D .How scientists produce a sound as a seashell does.
8 .What do you think the author will mention next
A .Different types of seashells. B .Causes of the sea sound.
C .The sound in soundproof rooms. D .Ways to set off resonance.

(2023 春·重庆 · 高一重庆巴蜀中学校考期中) Long before the pandemic(疫情), many adults turned to toys from Legos to collectible items to tap into their inner childhood for comfort. But all the stresses from the health problems stimulated(刺激)and strengthened the trend, according to Jim Silver, editor-in-chief of a toy review site.
This so-called “kid-adult” market is significant. Ages 18 and older represented 14% of U. S. toy industry sales, or $5. 7 billion in 2022. It grew 19% compared with that in 2021, according to the NPD Group Inc. , a market research firm. This group also enjoyed the second-fastest increase after customers aged 12 to 17.
Last year, Build-a-Bear launched a website called Bear Cave for the 18-year-old and over, highlighting items like toy rabbits holding a bottle of wine. And Basic Fun took a high-tech on the traditional Lite Brite toy from the 1960s and recreated it as wall art with thousands of pegs and 45 LED lights aimed at the adults in time for the holidays-with a $99 price tag. McDonald’s tapped into this group, releasing adult Happy Meals in October with toys designed by the fashion brand Cactus Plant Flea Market.
Loren Brereton,61,was recently visiting the American Girl store with her granddaughter Alana,7. She said that during the pandemic, she took comfort looking at her own daughter’s dolls. She also pulled out some of her son’s Lego’s and other toys and played with them. And she was thinking of buying a few playthings for herself. “All of those games have brought me comfort when I was a kid, but, you know, sort of changed you at different times when you needed it,”she said. “And you needed it. ”
“The pandemic certainly served as a stimulus for this trend as adults found themselves stuck at home with nothing else to do with a lot of time in their hands,”said Genevieve Cruz, senior director at Lego, “But we do believe that the trend goes beyond the pandemic. ”
9 .What do we know about the U. S. toy industry
A .It drew more adults than teenagers. B .It used to be no attraction to adults.
C .It saw a big growth in adult market. D .It brought customers health problems.
10 .What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A .Adult toys gradually took over the toy industry.
B .Adults had easy access to toys intended for adults.
C .Many companies launched products targeted at adults.
D .Some companies producing adult toys were established.
11 .What do toys bring Loren Brereton
A .Inspiration. B .Satisfaction. C .Regret. D .Comfort.
12 .Which of the following will Jim Silver and Genevieve Cruz both agree with
A .Adults are the main target of the toy industry.
B .Adult toys won’t be popular after the pandemic.
C .Health problems created the craze for adult toys.
D .The pandemic worked as a stimulus to adult toys.

(2023 春 · 贵州贵阳 · 高一校联考阶段练习) Beijing Opera is a kind of Chinese opera which is widely regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China. With its fascinating and artistic accompanying music, singing and costumes, Beijing Opera is China’s national opera. Full of Chinese cultural facts, the opera presents the audience with an encyclopedia (百科全书) of Chinese culture, as well as unfolding stories, beautiful paintings, nice costumes, graceful gestures and martial arts. Since Beijing Opera enjoys a higher reputation and is so popular among Chinese people, especially seniors.
The Beijing Opera band mainly consists of an orchestra and percussion (打击乐) band. The former frequently accompanies peaceful scenes while the latter provides the right atmosphere for battle scenes. The commonly used percussion instruments include castanets (响板), drums and bells.
Beijing Opera has a 200-year-long history. Its main melodies originated from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei respectively and, over time, absorbed music and arias from other operas and musical arts such as the historic Qinqiang as well as being very strongly influenced by Kunqu, the form that preceded it as court art. Techniques from many other local operas were incorporated into Beijing Opera.
It is believed that Beijing Opera gradually came into being after 1790 when the famous four Anhui opera troupes came to Beijing. Beijing Opera underwent fast development during the reign of Emperor Qianlong and the notorious Empress Dowager Cixi under the imperial patron, eventually becoming more accessible to the common people.
In ancient times, Beijing Opera was performed mostly on stage in the open air, tea houses or temple courtyards. Since the orchestra played loudly, the performers developed a piercing style of song that could be heard by everyone. Beijing Opera is a harmonious combination of the Grand Opera, ballet and acrobatics (杂技),
consisting of dance, dialogue, monologues (独白), martial arts and mime (哑剧).
In 1828, some famous Hubei troupes came to Beijing. They often jointly performed in the stage with Anhui troupes. The combination gradually formed Beijing Opera’s main melodies.
13 .By watching Beijing Opera, audience can ______.
A .know about the 5,000 years’ history of our country
B .learn about different aspects of Chinese culture
C .know about the printing of various books in China
D .learn about different opinions about Chinese culture
14 .What provides the atmosphere for battle scenes
A .The applause of the audience. B .The song of the performers.
C .The percussion band. D .The orchestra band.
15 .The performers developed a piercing style of song in order to ______.
A .make themselves heard B .fit in with the orchestra
C .get the right to go on stage D .have a harmonious combination

(2023 春 · 贵州贵阳 · 高一校联考阶段练习) Goldfish have pretty boring lives, so maybe it’s a good thing that they can only concentrate for nine seconds! But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish. Our attention span (时长) is getting shorter and it’s all because of technology.
“We move quickly from one site to another on the web,” says Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “and we are losing the ability to concentrate.” With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average Internet user is just seconds. There are other digital distractions (分心) too: e-mail, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites.
Some people are worried about the effect on young people. “You need time to understand and think about what you read”, says Julia Wood, from London. “Young people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it. I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”
Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students’ concentration. Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons. She says that it had an amazing effect, “The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.”
But not everyone believes that there is a problem. Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says, “On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn’t worth reading. They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully. In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”
17 .Why are humans becoming like goldfish
A .They have a wealthy life. B .They like to go fishing.
C .They are influenced by digital distractions. D .They feed more goldfish in their life.
18 .What may be the reason of human’s losing the ability to concentrate
A .There are too many Internet users. B .They have to skip around the Internet.
C .They can move very quickly. D .They are too young to concentrate.
19 .What will help students deal with the short attention span problem
A .Receiving emails. B .Texting messages.
C .Watching quickie movies. D .Reading more books.
20 .What is Ray Cole’s attitude towards looking through websites quickly
A .Supportive. B .Unfavorable. C .Skeptical. D .Cautious.

(2023 秋 · 四川眉山 · 高一仁寿一中校考开学考试) Malaria (疟疾) has been a deadly problem for humans since ancient times. Usually, people get malaria when infected mosquitoes (被感染的蚊子) bite them. Countless people have died from it. Thankfully, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou found an effective drug called qinghaosu (青 蒿素).
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Tu’s discovery. In 1969, Tu became the director of a national project to develop a drug against malaria. Her team took a unique approach ( 方法). They went back to books about classical Chinese medicine. After reading more than 2,000 old remedies (药方), Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and listed almost 380 possible remedies for malaria.
One remedy (治疗法), which is 1,600 years old, uses the sweet wormwood (青蒿) plant to treat malaria. Tu found it effective and tried to extract (提取) the qinghaosu from it in order to make drugs. The extraction failed at first, so Tu returned to the classical books again and finally found a way. She used a low-temperature method to
extract the qinghaosu and succeeded in 1972.
After her team showed that qinghaosu could treat malaria in mice and monkeys, Tu and two of her colleagues ( 同事) volunteered to test the drug on themselves before testing on human patients. It turned out that qinghaosu was safe. All patients in the tests recovered. Gradually, qinghaosu became the first-line treatment (治疗 方案) for malaria recommended (推荐) by the World Health Organization (WHO), saving millions of lives around the world.
In 2015, when Tu was awarded with the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, she refused to take all of the credit (荣誉). Instead, she praised her colleagues and Chinese traditional medicine. She once proudly said: “Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world.”
21 .When was qinghaosu discovered
A .In 1969. B .In 1972. C .In 2015. D .More than 1, 600 years ago.
22 .What is qinghaosu
A .It is a kind of plant. B .It is a classical Chinese medicine.
C .It is an element (元素) extracted from plants.D .It is an old Chinese folk remedy.
23 .Why did Tu Youyou’s first extraction fail
A .Because she used the wrong type of plant.
B .Because it was a folk remedy.
C .Because the extraction was done at a low temperature.
D .Because the temperature of the extraction is not low enough.
24 .Why did Tu’s colleagues test the drug on themselves first
A .Because people didn’t believe it could treat malaria
B .Because they couldn’t find suitable animals to do the tests.
C .Because her colleagues were in need of the drug.
D .Because they wanted to test the safety of the drug.

(2022 春·贵州黔南 · 高一贵州省龙里中学校考期中) Traveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office ”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks ( 地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure (衡量) distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office ” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please ” To this question you won’t get an answer, because most probably they don’t know it themselves. People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan! However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language.
25 .Which one of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions
A .“Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”
B .“The post office is about five minutes from here.”
C .“Turn right at the hospital and go past a school. ”
D .“The post office is at Street Kamira.”
26 .People in Los Angeles give directions by time because ________.
A .they use landmarks in their directions instead of distance
B .they prefer to lead you the way
C .they often have no idea of distance measured by miles
D .they prefer to use body language

(2023 春·湖北 · 高一华中师大一附中校考期中)I am standing next to a five-year old girl in Pormpuraaw, a small Aboriginal (土著的) community in northern Australia. When I ask her to point north, she points precisely and without hesitation. My compass says she is right. Later, back in a lecture hall at Stanford University, I make the same request of an audience of excellent professors. Many refuse; they do not know the answer.
A five-year-old in one culture can do something with ease that great scientists in other cultures struggle with. This is a big difference in cognitive (认知的) ability. What could explain it The surprising answer, it turns out, may be language.
Around the world people communicate with one another using a variety of languages— 7,000 or so all told— and each language requires very different things from its speakers. For example, suppose I want to tell you that I saw Uncle Vanya on 42nd Street. In Mian, a language spoken in Papua New Guinea, the verb I used would reveal whether the event happened just now, yesterday or in the distant past, whereas in Indonesia, the verb wouldn’t even give away whether it had already happened or was still coming up. In Russian, the verb would reveal my gender.
Research in my lab and in many others has been uncovering how language shapes even the most basic concept of human experience: space, time, and relationships to others. Unlike English, the language spoken in Pormpuraaw does not use relative spatial terms such as left and right. Rather speakers talk in terms of absolute directions. Of course, in English we also use direction terms but only for large spatial scales (标度). We would not say, for example, “They set the salad forks southeast of the dinner forks!” But in Pormpuraaw, absolute directions are used at all scales. This means one ends up saying things like “the cup is southeast of the plate” or “the boy standing to the south of Mary is my brother.”
29 .How does the author mainly explain the role language plays in the different cognition
A .By giving numbers. B .By making comparisons.
C .By describing personal experiences. D .By presenting different viewpoints.
30 .What contributes to the girl’s success in pointing the direction
A .Her training in Stanford University. B .The challenge from professors.
C .The language she speaks. D .The English culture she absorbs.
31 .What can be shown from the verb used in the language Mian
A .The time. B .The gender. C .The space. D .The event.
32 .What is the author’s attitude towards the language spoken in Pormpuraaw
A .Favorable. B .Cautious. C .Negative. D .Objective.
【答案】 29 .C 30 .C 31 .A 32 .D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了语言在认知能力中的巨大影响。
29.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I am standing next to a five-year old girl in Pormpuraaw, a small Aboriginal ( 土 著 的) community in northern Australia. When I ask her to point north, she points precisely and without hesitation. My compass says she is right.(我正站在一个 5 岁小女孩的身旁,这个小女孩来自澳大利亚北部的 一个土著小社区 Pormpuraaw。当我让她指向北方时,她毫不犹豫地准确指向。我的指南针表明她是对 的。 )”以及第二段“A five-year-old in one culture can do something with ease that great scientists in other cultures struggle with. This is a big difference in cognitive (认知的) ability. What could explain it The surprising answer, it turns out, may be language.(在一种文化中, 一个五岁的孩子可以轻松地做一些其他文化中伟大的科学家很 难做到的事情。这是认知能力的巨大差异。怎么解释呢?事实证明,令人惊讶的答案可能是语言。)”可知, 作者用自己在澳大利亚遇到一个小女孩的经历来解释语言在不同认知中所起的作用。故选 C。
30.细节理解题。根据第二段“A five-year-old in one culture can do something with ease that great scientists in other cultures struggle with. This is a big difference in cognitive ( 认知 的) ability. What could explain it The surprising answer, it turns out, may be language.(在一种文化中,一个五岁的孩子可以轻松地做一些其他文化 中伟大的科学家很难做到的事情。这是认知能力的巨大差异。怎么解释呢?事实证明, 令人惊讶的答案可 能是语言。 )”可知,是语言使得这个女孩能够正确地指出方向。故选 C。
31.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In Mian, a language spoken in Papua New Guinea, the verb I used would reveal whether the event happened just now, yesterday or in the distant past, whereas in Indonesia, the verb wouldn’t even give away whether it had already happened or was still coming up.(在巴布亚新几内亚所说的米安语中, 我 使用的动词会透露事件是刚刚发生的、昨天发生的还是发生在遥远的过去, 而在印度尼西亚, 这个动词甚 至不会透露这件事是已经发生了还是还在发生。)”可知,在米安语中,动词能够表明这个动作发生的时间。 故选 A。
32.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Unlike English, the language spoken in Pormpuraaw does not use relative spatial terms such as left and right. Rather speakers talk in terms of absolute directions. Of course, in English we also use direction terms but only for large spatial scales ( 标度). We would not say, for example, “They set the salad forks southeast of the dinner forks!” But in Pormpuraaw, absolute directions are used at all scales.(与英语不 同,Pormpuraaw 语不使用诸如“左”和“右”之类的相对空间术语。相反,说话者用绝对的方向说话。当然, 在英语中我们也使用方向术语,但只用于大的空间尺度。例如,我们不会说:“他们把沙拉叉放在正餐叉 的东南方! ”但在 Pormpuraaw,绝对方向在所有范围都被使用。 )”可推断, 作者对于 Pormpuraaw 地区的语

(2023 春 · 湖南长沙 · 高一长沙一中校考阶段练习) A study, led by researchers from the University of California, San Diego, tracked the same 875 mother-child pairs in Chile for 16 years, conducting assessments at ages 1, 5, 10 and 16. At each visit researchers screened the mother for signs of depression and used cognitive (认 知 的) development tests on the child. They also asked questions to assess the home life, featuring the level of connection between the mother and child.
Researchers found that signs of depression in moms when the child is one are associated with lower scores on cognitive function tests for the child at age 16. “We found that mothers who were highly depressed didn’t invest ( 投入) emotionally or in providing learning materials to support their child, such as toys and books, as much as mothers who were not depressed. This, in turn, impacted the child’s IQ at ages 5, 10 and 16,” Patricia East, PhD, research scientist with the Department of Pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine and one of the lead authors on the study, said in a statement.
The authors found the relationship in reverse to be true, as well — lower development scores early in the child’s life promoted less engagement from mom and that only increased signs of mothers’ depression as the child entered into adolescence.
Children who had severely depressed mothers were found to have an average verbal IQ score of 7.30 compared to a score of 7.78 in children without depressed mothers. Although seemingly small, differences in IQ from 7.78 to 7.30 are highly meaningful in terms of children’s verbal skills and vocabulary, said East. “Our study results show the long-term consequences that a child can experience due to long-term mothers’ depression.”
However, the authors recognize that these families in Chile can be very different from mothers and children of other cultural backgrounds or nationalities. Besides, all the families studied were from a similar cultural background and socioeconomic status and had a similar level of education.
33 .What did the researchers do in the study
A .They screened the child for signs of depression.
B .They tested the cognitive abilities of the mother.
C .They evaluated the mother-child pairs’ relationship.
D .They ignored the mother’s educational background.
34 .What conclusion did the researchers draw
A .A kid’s IQ scores were decided by the mother’s.
B .A kid’s IQ scores were different at different ages.
C .Depressed mothers gave birth to kids with low IQ scores.
D .Mothers’ depression might negatively impact their kids’ IQ.
35 .What might be the authors’ attitude towards the results of the study
A .They don’t sound debatable.
B .They may encourage public debate.
C .They may not be very representative.
D .They have been confirmed in a large scale.
36 .What’s the best title of the passage
A .Adolescents’ Confusion in Chile

Spend time with friends that will attend the same school. If you have any friends living in the same neighborhood, there are chances that(有可能)you will go to the same school! Make a point of creating stronger bonds( 关系)with those friends. Spend part of your summer holiday with them, and grow closer. While there’s always some worry about going into the first day of school, having friends around that care about you makes it much easier.
Buy your school supplies. The most important thing you can do in preparation for your first day is make sure you have all of the equipment you need. Though the types of materials you’ll need differ from class to class, certain things, like pens and paper, will be used for all classes.
