66．Dear Alice,
How is everything going Now I would like to share something with you about my new school.
Located in the center of our city, our school is a key school with a history of 70 years. Because it is equipped with all kinds of facilities, our school is beautiful as well as modern. In fact, I get along well with my teachers and classmates. To be honest, what attracts me most is the library, where I can easily get access to much knowledge with group members and solve problems by myself. Personally, I do enjoy my new school.
How about your school life Looking forward to your early reply.
67． Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.” My mouth dropped open. “She was outside all night ” I was so furious, “It was freezing and she could die!” Jordan choked back his words, stunned. I grabbed my coat and rushed outside. Jordan followed, fear welling up in his eyes. Several minutes later, the poor thing was found, shaking and curling into a tiny ball. I picked her up, unsure whether she was alive or dead. Jordan was scared, “We need a vet! Now!”
As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. I could hear him talking to the cat, apologizing repeatedly. Luckily, the vet saved Meatball. Seeing her eyes open, Jordan stroked her head, all tears. Then, surprisingly, he turned to me. He apologized for what he had done. “I know you just want to keep me safe,” he murmured. I felt a lump in my throat. He rubbed Meatball’s back, “Looks like we are both going to observe the curfew. It’s for our own good.”

I hope all of you will have a great time. That’s all!叙州区第二中学校2023-2024学年高一上学期10月月考

I’m a strong believer that learning different languages makes you look incredibly good when you’re in a foreign country and can understand and speak the language. The list below is 4 apps that will help you learn a foreign language! You can download them for free.
Babbel – Learn Languages
Babbel is an excellent language tool to help you progress step by step with learning a new language. It helps you learn grammar along the way as you work your way through the tasks and assignments. You need to pay a monthly subscription(定金), but this will still be cheaper than taking physical lessons with a tutor!
Duolingo: Learn Languages Free
The app has many languages to choose from and will work through the basics all the way to advanced words and sentences. It’s all completely free too! It’s incredibly well designed, looks great and will help you learn, remember and progress with just a little bit of time every day.
Tandem – Language Exchange
Rather than have you work through tasks and memorize different things, the app lets you match with people who share your interests but speak the language you want to learn. You can then have text, voice and video conversations with people who want to learn your native language, and in return you learn theirs, all by simply communicating with each other. It’s a great way to learn with only $1 a day.
Learn English: busuu
This app is perfect if you want to learn English. There are all sorts of audio and visual learning aids. You’ll find yourself working through interactive tests and learning tools for vocabulary and dialogue.
21．What is the purpose of the passage
A．Sell apps to language learners. B．Introduce language learning apps.
C．Teach language learners to use apps. D．Teach languages through apps.
22．Which app suits best if you want to learn through communication
A．Babbel – Learn Languages B．Tandem: Language Exchange
C．Duolingo: Learn Languages Free D．Learn English – busuu
23．What is Duolingo different from the other three apps
A．It is completely free to use. B．It is specially for English learning.
C．It is unsuitable for beginners. D．It is the most effective app.
B
The way we do things round here
Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, "Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us." That "quite" saddened me. I thought he was saying "we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else." Then I discovered that in American English "quite" sometimes means "very", while in British English it means "fairly".
So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures（文化）．
Some of these differences may be only on the surface-dress, food and hours of work-while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate（气候），while getting on with business.
Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality（准时）．If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.
24．The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought______．
A．the American bank didn't think much of him B．the American bank might hire another person
C．it's difficult to get used to American culture D．it's easy to misunderstand Americans
25．The word "highlights" in Paragraph 2 probably means_____.
A．encourages B．helps to narrow
C．increases D．draws attention to
26．According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences
A．Ask the native people for help. B．Understand and accept them.
C．Do things in our own way. ` D．Do in-depth research.
27．When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are______.
A．Italians B．Germans C．Greeks D．the British
C
What picture do you have of the future Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now What do you hope about the future
Futurologists(未来学家) predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity, from entertainment to technology. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers and books will come to us by computer.
In what concerns the environment, water will have become one of our most serious problems. Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages. Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don’t act now.
In transport, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed of the car and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.
In the domain(领域)of technology，robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots-they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere-in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. Today scientists have discovered how to control genes. They have already produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they
28．What’s the purpose of the first paragraph
A．To arouse the interest of the reader. B．To tell the background of the passage.
C．To show the author’s doubts about the future. D．To describe the pictures of the future.
29．What can we infer from the passage
A．Computer will finally take the place of the media nowadays.
B．Robots will completely have replaced people in factories.
C．Not all diseases will be conquered by scientists.
D．The clones of animals have a long way to go.
30．What’s the author’s attitude towards the life by 2050
A．Excited but pessimistic. B．Optimistic but worried.
C．Eager but afraid. D．Enthusiastic but cautious.
31．Where can we find the passage on the web
A．Travel. B．Sports. C．Education. D．Life.
D
A recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content. Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don’t read.
But how to build a habit of reading Like any habit, the trick is in figuring out what suits you. The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading. “I always have a book next to wherever I put my phone,” My friend Jimmy once told me. “So if I want to check my phone, I physically can see the book there. Nine times out of ten. I end up reading the book instead of using my phone for nothing.”
Another challenge is time, and in that case, audiobooks(有声书) can be a good choice. Audiobooks are great for filling the mind while you’re on the way to work, washing dishes or working out at the gym.
If you’re still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit, the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure. You should free yourself from the opinion that only important or educational books are worth reading. There’s no shame in rereading the books that made you fall in love with reading in the first place. Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying.
32．What is the most difficult part in forming the reading habit
A．Getting reading skills. B．Finding a great book.
C．Having limited time. D．Getting reading started.
33．What is the advantage of audiobooks according to the text
A．They are time saving. B．They provide more pleasure.
C．They aid brain development. D．They offer more book choices.
34．Why is rereading old favourite books a good idea
A．It helps restart reading. B．It is of great convenience
C．It improves the taste for art. D．It can increase your patience.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．Method of killing free time B．Advantages of using audiobooks
C．Way to choose educational books D．Tips on developing a reading habit

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You Are a Better Person Than You Think You Are
Maybe you haven’t achieved goals in a self-appointed time frame. 36 But this doesn’t mean you are a bad person or a failure. You could indeed be a wonderful individual. You could actually be a much better person than you believe you are. So, let’s examine the idea that you might be better than you think.
You show kindness
Being polite and kind is the mark of a good person. When you do this, you are treating others like you would want to be treated. 37 Even the smallest of things do not go unnoticed and are traits that you have a good heart.
You are a positive person
Keeping an optimistic attitude is also a trait of a good person with a powerful character. It is easy to become negative with all the bad things going on in the world, but there’s another way to look at these things. When you’re actually better than you think, you will have the habit of looking on the bright side of every situation and seeing the best in everyone. 38
39
Being wise is not about being intelligent. It’s about learning from life experiences. Why does this make you a better person than you think Wisdom can be passed to others to help them avoid the same mistakes you made. You are a good person if you’ve collected wisdom and love to share lessons with others.
So, go easy on yourself. Appreciate who you are. If there are things you need to change, that’s okay. 40 It’s about our attitude and our heart. I bet, if you took the time to read this, you are a better person than you think.
A．You give honest comments.
B．It’s just all about showing optimism.
C．We all have problems and imperfections.
D．You are wise, and you share your wisdom.
E．Maybe you have made many mistakes as well.
F．Respecting others and their space shows adulthood, which is a sign of a truly good person.
G．This may include opening doors for others or picking up change for people in front of you at the checkout line.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends. He would tell me that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁). He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school.
“You don’t trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe
I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball,” I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside.
“Why won’t she just stay in with us all the time ” Nathan, my youngest son asked.
I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased.
“That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew.
Meatball became a regular.
One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside.
I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you’re not happy, but it’s for your own good.”
“Mom’s not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat. “She’s just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke.
The next morning, I couldn’t find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.”

As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat.
