[2023·山东省高二上联考]Even though I'm no skater, I've always considered Rochester a perfect location for an outdoor skatepark. Being a place missing some pleasures in Chicago, Rochester fosters a do it yourself (DIY) attitude in the pursuit of having fun.
So, after I noticed a skatepark being built under the highway entrance, I had a strong desire to know about it, not because I wanted to learn to skate, but because it is a perfect setting to develop the DIY charm of Rochester. So, last Saturday, I visited the skatepark for the first time, not only to take a closer look at its physical design, but to take a look at the crowds it attracts. On arriving there, I was fascinated to notice all the skaters taking cover from the rain under the highway, concentrating on a small concrete (混凝土) ground with a ramp (斜坡) on the far end.
I began chatting with a Rochester skater named Angel Vazquez. “All you need is a slab of concrete and a ramp, and you can spend many hours learning countless skills，” Vazquez said. “Once you've learned them all, you can do it all over again with different gestures.”
He then pointed toward the other skaters. “Look at them. So many people from different walks of life come here to skate. Whatever their status, everyone is brought together here by skating.” He then specifically pointed out a young man doing tricks on a nearby rail, saying, “See him He is my best friend. He is unable to hear me because he is deaf, but we love to skate here together. We communicate with each other through a notepad.”
Soon after my conversation with Vazquez, I thought about our conversation. It felt as though the ground under my feet had a pulse. Even during a rainy day, life's heartbeat can be found at that park, pounding (怦怦地跳) to the rhythm of wheels rolling over concrete.
4．Which can replace the underlined word “fosters” in Paragraph 1
A．encourages B．protects
C．changes D．challenges
5．How did the author feel after seeing the skatepark for the first time

A．The praise for the skatepark.
B．The comment on Vazquez.
C．The call for more skateparks.
D．The impression of the conversation.

[2023·广东江门高二期中]You've likely heard of the Group of Seven, artists who travelled the remote landscapes of Ontario to capture their rough beauty by brush. But they weren't the only artists who travelled rough and painted what they saw!
Fifty years before the Group of Seven, Frances Anne Hopkins was roughing it in a voyageur (船夫) canoe between Lachine (Montreal) and Fort William (Thunder Bay). She was born in England in 1838. Later, she married Edward Hopkins, who worked for the Hudson's Bay Company, and moved to Lachine, Canada.
In 1860, her husband was promoted to Chief Factor of Montreal, which led to the couple occasionally joining voyageurs on their journeys up the river, sometimes travelling all the way to Fort William by canoe. These trips would take weeks of rough living with the men who paddled the canoe. The couple travelled along the shores of the Mattawa River, where Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park is located today.
While the voyageurs paddled the canoe or set up camp, Hopkins would sketch (画素描) what she saw. She documented the lives of voyageurs in her sketches in the same way we might take a photograph.Most of her paintings describing voyageurs were completed after she returned to London in 1870. Many of her works, such as Canoes in a Fog and Running a Rapid on the Mattawa River were displayed at the Royal Academy exhibition in England during her career.
By the time Frances Anne Hopkins began documenting the voyageurs' lives, the need for them was declining. Faster travel methods such as trains and steamboats were becoming popular, and the demand for canoes was decreasing. However, one could argue that she arrived in the canoe just in time to capture the final years of the voyageurs before they could truly fade away.
8．Why did the author mention Group of Seven
A．To show their achievements in art.
B．To attract the attention of art lovers.
C．To introduce the heroine of this article.
D．To prove their influence on other artists.
9．What made Frances Anne Hopkins join voyageurs on their journeys
A．Her husband's promotion.
B．Her love for travelling.
C．Her moving to new home.
D．Her interest in drawing.
10．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Frances Anne Hopkins' life.
B．Frances Anne Hopkins' works.
C．Frances Anne Hopkins' education.
D．Frances Anne Hopkins' marriage.
11．What was Frances Anne Hopkins' main
contribution
A．Influencing the lives of voyageurs.
B．Changing the trends of travel methods.
C．Displaying her works at the Royal Academy.
D．Documenting the lives of voyageurs through art.

[2023·张家口一中月考]These days we can often see students doing morning group exercises at school to stay healthy. Most of you probably do the same kind of exercises. But some school exercises have grown popular online due to their local and special designs. Let's check them out!
Students at a middle school in Mianyang, Sichuan Province, combine Sichuan Opera with their exercise. Shen Junhua is in charge of organising the school's exercises between classes. “Sichuan Opera is a local opera, but now it is facing a problem because few young people want to learn it. So we invited some local artists to create a simple and easy to learn Sichuan Opera exercise，” Shen Junhua said.
According to Shen, this new type of exercise has been practiced since 2017 and is popular among students. When new students enter the school, they spend several weeks practicing it. At present, almost all of the students and teachers do it well.
Some students have also joined the school's Sichuan Opera club because of their own interest, although they had hardly heard of Sichuan Opera before teachers taught them how to do the Sichuan Opera exercise. They found it very different from normal exercises. After practicing it, they found it very beautiful and became interested in it. Now, most students look forward to their daily exercise and are excited to do the Sichuan Opera exercise.
By combining opera with daily exercise, the activity allows students to take part in the development of Sichuan Opera's culture. After years of continuous effort to spread the seeds of traditional culture, the younger generation is finally catching on.
12．How can the Sichuan Opera exercise be described
A．Creative. B．Challenging.
C．Common. D．Strange.
13．Why does the school organize the Sichuan Opera exercise

Apart from speeches, in my point of view, we can use our eyes to express ourselves. And through one's eyes, we can read sorrow, happiness, encouragement, and many other emotions. Eyes are always the most direct organs to reveal our thoughts.
Until now I still remember an experience, which happened when I took part in a singing contest at the age of nine. It was the power of my mother's eyes that encouraged me to go for it. I had shown great interest in singing before that, but I was too shy to sing in public. So one day my mother took me to sign up for the singing contest. With my mother's company and encouragement, I was determined to meet that challenge. Standing on the stage, I suddenly found I had become the focus of all attention. I got so nervous that I couldn't even keep my eyes open. When it was my turn to be introduced to the audience and sing, I became even more nervous. I felt my legs were shaking and my memory seemed to have left me—I couldn't remember anything. Searching for help, I met my mother's eyes which were sparkling with encouragement and strong power. It seemed that they were speaking to me, “Take it easy. You can do it! I'll always be with you！” I read the message in her eyes and at that moment I got my confidence back and began to sing my song. When I came down from the stage, she came up to me, saying, “Great! I'm proud of you！” and gave me a big hug. At that moment, I saw her eyes filled with tears of joy. Sometimes, you see, just a look of encouragement from a loved one can make a shy person brave.

[2023·石家庄高二下学期期中]Classical musician Titcomb feels strongly about Symphony No.2 and its composer, Mahler. “Mahler is just...It's so remindful. It's so emotional and maybe it is a cheap thrill, but to me it is a deep emotional work.”
Titcomb played the trombone (长号) professionally for more than thirty years. He says it was a difficult decision to stop playing and to do something else. “When I had to decide to stop my career as a player and move on to just the organizing of an orchestra, it was my heart and soul to play in orchestras and after a 30 year career I think I have done my part and wanted to move aside. Now I'm semi retired. I only play the trombone in my wife's rock and roll band, but for 30 years I was a member of the New York City Opera Orchestra and I also played very often with the Metropolitan Opera and various other organizations and the New York City Ballet as well.”
Now Titcomb is the Managing Director for PONY, which hopes to bring new audiences to classical music and aims to make performances higher tech and more affordable. PONY is composed of many New York's finest musicians and many of them continue to work in the major companies at Lincoln Center including Metropolitan Opera, New York Philharmonic. And musicians come together shortly after some big events, such as natural disasters.
Mahler Symphony No.2 music is reflective of a project dear to Titcomb's heart. Titcomb has worked effortlessly on bringing the Philharmonia Orchestra of New York, which aims to use performances to support disaster relief, and to give people in disaster some inspiration to continue to deal with their troubles. Seeing an orchestra of 90 players on the stage and making music together with a chorus of 200 made him smile.
Titcomb's devotion to music is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful career with little more than plain hard work and determination.
8．What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 1
A.Titcomb is very emotional.
B．Mahler is good at cheap thrills.
C．A music masterpiece must be strong.

B．He avoided taking up challenges.
C．He focused on playing the trombone.
D．He organized a high quality orchestra.
10．Which of the following can best describe Titcomb's work at PONY

[2023·武汉市高二联考]Back in the early 2000s, lots of people couldn't have imagined life without alarm clocks, CD players, calendars, cameras, or lots of other devices. But along came the iPhone and other smartphones, and they took over the functions of dozens of things we used to think were essential.
The smartphone story could even be a model for fighting climate change; not because smartphones use a small part of the energy of all the things they replace—although they do—but because they represent a different approach to design in general. And that approach is to focus on function rather than form. That requires focusing on understanding the underlying problem, and then engineering a wide range of potential solutions. This approach could revolutionize how we think about energy efficiency.
Traditionally, improvements in energy efficiency have mostly focused on individual devices, which can be quite fruitful. But focusing on individual devices is like if Apple had spent effort inventing a better alarm clock, a better CD player, a better calendar, and a better camera. Now with an iPhone, we don't need the standalone devices at all, because it can function as all of them.
So when it comes to using energy efficiently, rather than just installing a more efficient heater, some people have focused instead on the desired function: staying warm. They designed and coated their house so well that they could get rid of their heater altogether, letting them heat their house with 99% less energy.
In the same way, rather than just making cars more efficient, what if we focus on the desired function—getting where we want when we want—and create an efficient transportation system where we can drive less or get rid of our personal cars entirely
The most energy efficient car or heater is no car, or no heater, while still being able to get around and stay warm. In other words, it's not thinking efficient, it's thinking different.
12．What makes the iPhone a good example of environmental protection
A．Perfecting individual devices.
B．Combining possible functions.
C．Adopting a simplest design.
D．Reducing the energy consumption.
13．According to the passage, what is the core of improving energy efficiency
A．Using recyclable materials.
B．Revolutionizing technologies.
C．Figuring out various solutions.
D．Concentrating on the essential needs.
14．What does the author think of traditional practices in energy improvements
A．Conventional. B．Out of date.
C．Adequate. D．Perfect.
15．What can we learn from the passage
A．Think out of the box.
B．Differences make it unique.
C．Be economical with energy.
D．Step out of the comfort zone.
Ⅱ.七选五
In the world of writing, one form stands out as different from all the rest：poetry. __1__But reading poetry, completing poetry exercises, and writing poetry are creative methods for improving in other genres (体裁).
Mindful Imagery
Most writing forms attempt to explain something—a scene, a situation, an idea, a set of instructions and an experience. __2__ It shows.It paints a picture and pulls you into it.When you master the art of showing readers an idea through imagery, you can easily apply the concept to your other writing.
Language, Word Choice, and Vocabulary
Of course, language is essential to all types of writing, but in poetry, words must be selected carefully in order to generate a visceral (发自肺腑的) response from readers.This is achieved by learning how to use language that evokes (唤起) emotions without telling readers what they should be feeling. __3__
Musicality
A poet must be constantly aware of meter and rhythm.Think about how you feel when you hear a particular piece of music.You tap your feet and shake your hips.Our bodies respond physically to music. __4__ When this musicality is brought to other forms of writing, readers feel it in their bones and muscles.They will have a physical reaction.
__5__ And poetry writing helps you develop skills for connecting with readers mentally(language), emotionally (images), and physically (rhythm).Whether you apply poetic concepts to fiction, blogging, or article writing, your engagement with poetry will help you produce better writing.
A．Poetry doesn't bother to explain.
B．Writing is about connecting with readers.
C．Poetry is not a favorite form of writing for many.
D.Every single word must be necessary to the poem.
E.But poetry is like music and there's something for everyone.
F．Therefore, poetry teaches writers to be economical with language.
G．Through poetry writing comes a natural ability to marry musicality with language.单元素养评价(二) UNIT 2 HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Bookstores are fascinating places. That's because the books on the shelves can take you away to magical lands, help you learn a foreign language, or cook a delicious meal. But when your community is too small to house a real brick bookstore, sometimes you have to make a compromise. A mobile bookstore that brings books around the country was the result. That is the case for Rita Collins, 70, who dreamed of opening a used bookstore after retiring from teaching.
A business planning class from the American Booksellers Association convinced Collins to abandon her idea that opening a bookstore in the small town where she lives, which would not be sustainable. Eureka, Montana, located just seven miles from the Canadian border, only has a population of 1，517. Collins asked her instructors about a traveling bookstore on wheels and they were skeptical. But she persevered.
Collins was inspired by Dylans Mobile Bookstore, a traveling bookstore in Wales run by Jeff Towns. She contacted Jeff for advice but she was largely on her own when it came to building her bookstore. First, she had to find a vehicle large enough to stand in. Then she had to have it refitted with shelves that would hold the books at a 15 degree angle so that they would stay in place while in transit. Collins named her bookstore St Rita's Traveling Bookstore, which has been on the road since 2015.
At first, she drove through Montana and then she made her first cross country trip in 2016. After she retired in 2017, it became a full time job all year round. Collins and her mobile bookstore have visited 30 states, stopping at festivals and events along the way. While the locations change, some things always stay the same. Collins loves meeting people and making connections. While she loves what she does, Collins doesn't think she can keep doing it. In several years, she hopes to pass her traveling bookstore onto another bibliophile who shares the same interest and will keep it on the road.
24．Why did Collins abandon opening a bookstore
A．It would cost a lot of money. B．It was not promising.
C．It would be out of date. D．It was not approved.
25．Why were the shelves designed at a 15 degree angle
A．To beautify the mobile bookstore. B．To make full use of space of the shelves.
C．To keep the bookstore's balance. D．To protect the books from falling down.
26．Which of the following can best describe Collins
A．Merciful and delightful. B．Intelligent and reasonable.
C．Determined and social. D．Generous and lovely.
27．What does the underlined word “bibliophile” in the last paragraph mean
A．A book lover. B．A publisher. C．A famous writer. D．An editor.
C
When we don't regularly get enough sleep on weeknights, many of us hope to repay our sleep debt by sleeping late on weekends. Scientists have previously found that a lack of sleep increases the risk of being overweight. However, it was not clear whether sleeping more on the weekend could balance the books and prevent such an increase.
A team of researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder set out to find how a weekend of recovery sleep may influence an individual's health. The study focused on 36 healthy young adults, who were divided into three groups. The first group got plenty of sleep each night for 9 nights, while the second group got just 5 hours of sleep each night for 9 nights. The third group of people slept 5 hours for 5 nights, slept as much as they wanted over the weekend, and then returned to 2 more days of limited sleep. All peoples' eating patterns, weight gain, and changes in insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity are tracked throughout.
Compared to people who slept normally, those who only slept 5 hours a night snacked more after dinner and gained an average of about 3 pounds during the study. Their bodies' sensitivity to insulin decreased by 13% over the two week period. People in the third group experienced some mild improvement during the weekend: they were less likely to snack at night during the recovery period. But those benefits died out when they returned to their weekday sleep restricted schedule. They also gained an average of about 3 pounds during the study and experienced a 27% decrease in insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, during the weekend, total sleep duration was lower in women than in men, and energy intake decreased to baseline levels in women but not in men.
The study suggests that weekend recovery sleep is not likely to be an effective measure regarding metabolic (新陈代谢) health. In the future, the research team aims to explore further whether or not catching up on sleep, including daytime napping, can completely change the damage of sleep loss, and if so, to what extent and under what conditions.
28．How did the researchers arrive at their conclusions
A．By comparing experiment data. B．By referring to previous studies.
C．By collecting people's sleep records. D．By interviewing healthy young adults.
29．What can we learn from the results of the study
A．Recovery sleep contributed to less weight gain.
B．Less food was eaten after the recovery period.
C．Sex differences were observed in recovery sleep.
D．Insulin sensitivity got higher in most of the people.
30．Which of the following is the focus of future studies
A．The effective measures against sleep loss.
B．The sleep study among various age groups.
C．The damage of sleep loss to metabolic health.
D．The specific effects of recovery sleep strategies.
31．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Why is weekend catch up sleep important
B．Sleep debt on weekends can be paid back.
C．Why does sleep loss affect metabolic health
D．Weekend lie ins don't make up for sleep loss.

Eating too much fat contributes to the risk of stroke (中风) and other heart diseases. However, it's the type of fat, not the amount, that appears to be more important when it comes to stroke. Eating plant based fats lowers stroke risk, according to a study presentation given at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2021.
The study, which hasn't yet been proved by other researchers, found people who ate the most vegetable based fats were 12% less likely to experience a stroke compared to those who ate the least. On the other hand, people who ate the highest levels of animal based saturated (饱和) fat were 16% more likely to experience a stroke than those who ate the least fat of that kind. The findings show the type of fat and different food sources of fat are more important than the total amount of fat in preventing certain diseases including stroke.
You need fat to survive. Fats help your body absorb vitamins from foods, build cells, give you energy and keep you warm. But it's the unsaturated fats that come from vegetables, nuts and fatty fish that can lower your cholesterol (胆固醇) level and help keep you healthy. Saturated fats are generally not as healthy. They mainly come from red and processed meats.
“A proper reduction in red and processed meat consumption within a healthy eating pattern can reduce total death by 13%, heart disease death by 14%, cancer death by 11% and type 2 diabetes risk by 24%，” said Dr. Frank Hu, one of the authors of the stroke study.
Interestingly, dairy fat was not associated with a higher risk of stroke, the study found. There has been an ongoing debate among researchers as to the role of dairy. The diet guidelines for Americans call for three servings of low and no fat dairy each day.
32．What can we learn from the passage
A．The more fat you take in, the easier you'll have a stroke.
B．Eating animal based fats lowers the risk of stroke.
C．The study has been recognized by most researchers.
D．Different food sources of fat have an effect on stroke prevention.
33．How does Paragraph 2 mainly develop
A．By making comparisons. B．By analyzing causes and effects.
C．By providing examples. D．By following the order of time.
34．What is the main idea of the passage
A．The type of fat matters when it comes to stroke.
B．People should eat less red meat to keep healthy.
C．Fat plays an important role in people's life.
D．Americans need three servings of dairy per day.
35．Which section of a newspaper does the passage probably come from
A．Environment. B．Technology. C．Health. D．Travel.

What Are the Roots of Your Self Esteem
Self esteem is a person's subjective assessment of his or her worth to himself or herself. Self esteem covers various beliefs about oneself (such as “I'm a failure” and “I'm beautiful”) as well as physiological states, including sadness, joy, and shame. The more we believe that we are worthy of happiness and good things in life, the more self fulfilled we will be. When we don't believe that we are worthy of these things, our ability to enjoy them can suffer.__36__
Healthy self esteem as an adult can be a gift given in your childhood. It is a blessing that most people overlook. There are so many ways adults with high self esteem were supported as children that resulted in them having high self esteem. For instance, they were praised for what they had achieved.
__37__ They likely experienced affection and were given enough attention. It is also possible that they excelled in studies or in sports and were admired for it by peers.
__38__ As children, many of these people were criticized, yelled at, or abused in one way or another. There is also a high chance that they were given no attention by the adults who were supposed to care for them. In some cases, adults with poor self esteem were often ridiculed for their shortcomings or bullied by peers.
It is common that these adults also believe that in order to be appreciated they need to be perfect.
__39__ There are people who are obsessed with their careers or hobbies because in their mind they need to tie their worthiness to something concrete. Oftentimes, these people have to pretend to be something they are not just to get approval.
How you feel about yourself impacts how you live your life. People with high self esteem tend to have better relationships than those with low self esteem. __40__ So if you struggle to reach out for assistance, it could be rooted in your low self esteem.
A．There is also a good chance that they were spoken to respectfully.
B．When we start to doubt what's important in life, we tend to do less of it.
C．Since self esteem is connected to how we perform, it is important to work on it.
D．People with poor self esteem, on the other hand, often experienced the opposite.
E．This creates an image in their mind that without accomplishment they are worthless.
F．They face failure too, but they understand that failure or success doesn't define them.
G．High self esteem enables you to ask for help and support from the people around you when you need it.

Ms. Salomon's __52__ finally came to an end 6 months later, and though it was an emotional __53__， she was also relieved.

The Leap
Once a twelve year old boy was traveling around the world by sea. His father was the captain of the ship. Now, the ship was sailing home at last. It was a pleasant day. All the passengers were on the deck (甲板).
A monkey was making funny faces at the passengers. It became funnier as more passengers came closer, enjoying its tricks. Suddenly the monkey ran towards the captain's son and took his hat. It then put the hat on its own head. Soon after that, it climbed up the tall pole with two crossbeams (横梁) that supported the sails (帆) on the ship.
Everyone laughed, but the boy was not sure whether to laugh or cry. It had come as a surprise. The monkey sat on the first crossbeam of the pole, took off the hat and began to tear it.
The hat was too important for the boy. So he shouted with extreme anger, “You terrible creature! Return my hat or you are going to pay for it.” He went after the monkey on the pole, which continued to climb higher.
“I am not going to forgive you，” the boy shouted, as he climbed higher and higher. After a while, the monkey stretched itself to its full length and hung what remained of the hat on the end of the second crossbeam. Then it climbed to the very tip of the pole and sat there, making fun of the boy.
The distance from the pole to the end of the crossbeam, where the hat was, was about two meters. To reach the hat, the boy had to let go of the pole. Everyone froze with fear when they saw the boy had stepped onto the crossbeam without support. One wrong step, and he would fall hard to the board of the ship, which would lead to death. The only solution was to jump into the water. However, the boy didn't realize the danger, as his mind was focused only on getting the hat.

Recently it is said that a dog named Daisy has received an award for picking up a number of beer cans, coffee cups, and other pieces of trash, helping clean up her neighborhood in the process. It's unclear if Daisy is aware of her service, but her help has not gone unnoticed, by any means.
In fact, it is reported that this nine year old dog has picked up more than 5，000 pieces of rubbish. Daisy has been collecting rubbish for the last eight years, at least two times a day. Coming from the city of Worcester in the United Kingdom, Daisy has become the first dog to receive an honor from the mayor (市长). Unlike other dogs, Daisy prefers sniffing around for beer cans among other things. She carries them back home to her owner, Judy Owens, who then takes her pet's offerings and recycles them.
“I wish Daisy understood how special she was and the award just marks what a special little dog she is，” Judy said. “She started picking up rubbish when she was around a beer can and I think she discovered it by accident.”
“One day she just sniffed out a beer can, then began picking it up，” she continued. “She gets very attached to rubbish, and she must think it's some kind of treasure.”
Daisy has become something of a celebrity in her town, often known as the dog that helps get rid of all the rubbish. Then, the mayor invited Judy and Daisy to come to his office. “When we arrived, he told us that Daisy would be receiving the award because he wanted to make people more conscious of protecting the environment and to thank her for her contributions over the years，” Judy said. “It was such a surprise...Daisy thought this was great and went to sit on the mayor's chair with a beer can in her mouth. Everyone thought she was funny and started laughing.”

“Their cheery song brightens many a winter's day. But robins (知更鸟) are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins are singing all night—as well as during the day，” British based researchers say.
David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clocks, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.
Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.
He told people at a conference, “There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy.”
And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, “In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying ‘You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls？’ During the breeding (繁殖) season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep.”
Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concludes that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.
However, some birds thrive (兴旺) in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators (天敌) fleeing to quieter areas.
8．According to Dr Dominoni's study, what causes robins to sing so much
A．The breeding season.
B．The light in modern life.
C．The dangerous environment.
D．The noise from heavy machinery.
9．What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output
A．The environment might be polluted.
B．The birds' health might be damaged.
C．The industry cost might be increased.
D．The people's hearing might be affected.
10．What does the underlined word “nocturnal” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．Active at night.
B．Inactive at night.
C．Active during the day.
D．Inactive during the day.
11．Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments
A．Because there are fewer dangers.
B．Because there is more food to eat.
C．Because there is less light pollution.
D．Because there are more places to take shelter.

In the rainforest, thousands of species sing and call, forming sound layers so rich that the human mind can be overwhelmed.Drop a hydrophone (水听器) into an ocean and you will hear similar richness, but it is foreign to our air adapted ears. Hundreds of thousands of other vocal (发声的) wonders ring out across the world. Every vocal species has a distinctive sound and every place on the globe has a vocal character.We live in a world of vocal wonder, yet this richness is being damaged worldwide.
In some places, vocal loss is caused by the destruction of habitats, from destroyed forests to overfished oceans. However, in habitats such as thick rainforests or oceans, sound is the only way for most animals to communicate even over short distances. This communication mating songs, cooperative signals about food, cries that indicate social status and alarm calls allow complex animal life to boom. Elsewhere, noise is also the problem. Machines pump so much sound into water and air that other species can't hear one another. The problem of noise is most serious in the oceans, where earthquake exploration, shipping and sonar (声纳) create a deafening sound that is uninhabitable, or nearly so, for many species.
Mankind is also affected by environmental noise, with complaints about noise pollution dating to the very first cities, recorded on clay walls from Babylonia. This noise is no mere inconvenience: It may cause diseases or deaths. The European Environment Agency estimates that environmental noise in Europe causes 12，000 untimely deaths and 48，000 new cases of heart disease per year.
What can be done to address these problems Perhaps among the scientific studies of trends in vocal loss, activism to advocate (提倡) for justice and policy making to reduce noise pollution and habitat destruction, we'd better also find space to listen. Just as we go out with friends to hear a concert, might we do the same for the birds in a city park In this simple act, we might find inspiration and a direct connection to our more than human neighbors.
12．What's the main idea of Paragraph 2
A．Reasons contributing to noise.
B．Necessity of protecting nature.
C．Factors leading to vocal loss.
D．Significance of sound diversity.
13．Why does the author list the figures in Paragraph 3
A．To stress the threat of noise.
B．To advocate removing noise.
C．To arouse people's health awareness.
D．To criticize the development of cities.
14．What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A．Make practical policies.
B．Conduct more scientific study.
C．Seek inspiration from a concert.
D．Build bonds with other creatures.
15．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Can You Hear What I Hear

Several years ago, I was on an assignment working in an underpopulated area of the Amazon river basin in South America. This was one of my early experiences of traveling in the area, so I hadn't learned a lot of lessons yet. My destination was only about 16 miles from my duty station. Many locals had suggested that I bike or hike it, but I had a lot of equipment I didn't want to leave behind.
I finally figured out a route where I could hitchhike (搭便车) along a jeep trail for about a total of 30 miles. On the first day, I caught a bus for my first leg of 10 miles. Then I spent two nights camping, waiting for a supply jeep to leave for my second leg. I rode with the supply jeep to within 8 miles of my destination when we had a breakdown. We spent a little over 24 hours making repairs.
Moving slower now with our repaired car, we got within 2 miles of our destination to find that the road had been washed out and rainstorms in the mountains were causing flooding around our destination.
Our jeep was equipped with a snorkel (通气管) to go underwater, but our payload (装载货物) was not waterproof. We searched the area for better places to cross the floodwaters, but nothing looked promising. We started to make camp, but as the waters began to approach, we decided to park the jeep at the highest point and abandon (放弃) it. More rain brought faster rising water, so we made a final decision before things got worse.
Sadly, in the water I slipped from the rocks I was walking on and I lost a bag in which my wallet, flashlight, and watch were kept. I swam until I got on the rocks again and climbed out to the other side. We dressed and marched up into the higher area away from the flood. A kind gentleman in a house, just past the floodwaters, lent us a motorbike and we finished the rest of our journey.
For my return trip, I cheeked out the 16 mile hike. It was easy and scenic with lots of fruit trees and fresh water along the trail. And I learned a lesson from that experience.

Meet Ben Saunders: adventurer, athlete, motivational speaker. Ben, at the age of 23, was the youngest man to ski solo (单人滑雪) to the North Pole. He dragged a 180 kilogramme sledge over 1, 420 miles through the worst Arctic conditions. This year, as well as planning a return to the Arctic, Ben plans to ski solo from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole and back in the autumn, carrying all his supplies on his sledge.
Ben Saunders was fired after persuading the firm to support his disorganized first adventure. “Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. We were attacked by a bear. We started running out of food. It was just desperate. And we didn't get to the Pole, we didn't get there, so we had no media interest. No one heard about it, no book deal, and no speaking. I was so unhappy.”
“People said it was impossible for me to get to the Pole. But I think I can get there, and I did. Self belief, I see it as being a bit like a muscle—it's my belief that the more you stretch yourself the stronger it gets. If you never do anything that's uncomfortable or risky then your self belief gets weaker. So that's one of the lessons I've figured out along the way. The thing that I've stretched and tested is my self belief.” Ben Saunders said.
“My Antarctic adventure is just practicable and that's what is exciting to me. If I knew it was possible, if I knew I could do it without too much bother, I wouldn't be interested. Why Personally I'm attracted by the human performance element to it. Not that long ago, running a marathon was seen as the top point of human attempt, and now I wouldn't be that surprised if my mum said she was going to run one next year.”
“People's horizons are changing. I'm not particularly gifted, and I'm absolutely average. I've just chosen this one goal to achieve and I've been working hard to realize it. That's it. And that's the thing that attracts me: with enough training and enough determination, enough focus and preparation, how far can we go？And I don't think I've found out yet.”
5．What do we know about Ben Saunders' first adventure
A．There was no press coverage.
B．It was supported by his company.
C．It was well planned and organized.
D．He actually reached the North Pole.
6．What should you do if you want to stretch your self belief according to Ben Saunders
A．You should often test your confidence.
B．You should try something adventurous.
C．You should aim to reach the North Pole.
D．You should always stretch your muscles.
7．Why was Ben Saunders excited about his Antarctic adventure
A．Because he liked running a marathon.
B．Because he wanted to exercise his body.
C．Because he knew it might be achievable.
D．Because he was sure he could do it easily.
8．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．We have to change our views about adventure.
B.We can never know our possibilities and energies.
C．We should have a reason for going on an adventure.
D．We have to be especially talented to have an adventure.

ANIMAL BODY LANGUAGE
Human beings are not only ones who communicate. __1__ Here is a quick look at how some of our animal friends send messages to us and to each other.
__2__ When a dog is happy, its ears will stand up and its eyes will be wide open. The dog will start barking, moving its tail, and running around in circles or jumping up and down to show you that it wants to play. A dog that is afraid will lay on its back and close its eyes. The dog may show its teeth and lower its body so that it is close to the ground. The dog may also shake, and it will put its tail between its legs. When a dog is angry, its main body language is showing its teeth and growling (低声叫). The dog will try making itself look as big as possible. The tail will stand straight out from the body.
Elephants also use noises and body language to express themselves. An elephant's sense of smell is highly developed. An elephant can smell how another elephant is feeling and even tell if it is sick. The elephant's nose, or trunk, is also used to make noises and to welcome other elephants. Different noises have a variety of meanings: they can mean “I am hungry”， “I am angry”， or “Good to see you！”__3__ If an elephant spreads its ears, it means “Watch out！” To show friendship, elephants will touch each other with their trunks and stand close to each other, putting their heads together.
Dolphins are social animals. __4__ An angry dolphin will sometimes hit its tail on the surface of the water. The movement and noise let other dolphins know that something is wrong. If a dolphin wants to send a message over a long distance, or if it wants to show how strong it is, it will jump high out of the water and land on its side, making a loud noise. A dolphin's favorite activity is leaping into the air while playing with its friends. When dolphins are tired and need to rest, they will swim in small groups close to the surface. __5__
A．Dogs are human's loyal friends.
B．If you see them doing this, you should not disturb them.
C．An elephant's body language includes ear signals and gestures.
D．They live in groups and love showing each other their feelings.
E．Dogs use sounds, body movements, and their tails to communicate.
F．If an elephant senses its partner is falling sick, it will also make a noise.
G．Animals use body language to tell each other how they feel and what they think.

[2023·华中师范大学第一附属中学高二期中]If you think of pumpkins as an orange colored squash that's carved as the key ingredient for holiday season pies, you wouldn't be wrong.
“But there's much more to pumpkins, which are full of nutrients that provide an impressive collection of health benefits，” says Lisa Jones, a registered dietitian based in Philadelphia. “Pumpkins may be good for carving, but they're even better for a variety of healthy nutrients，” she says. “Pumpkins provide a diverse variety of nutritional benefits in addition to being an ingredient in pies or festival decoration.”
The best part about pumpkin is that it's so easy to work it into your daily food. When preparing various dishes, add pumpkin to things like soups or bake with it in breads. There are so many things you can do with pumpkin beyond pumpkin pie. Pumpkins are seasonal, ripening in fall. But you can get pumpkin products, like canned puree or soup, in many stores throughout the year.
“Consuming pumpkin can help fight cancers，” says Mahmoud Ghannoum, professor and director in a medical center. Pumpkins have plenty of beta carotene, which is an antioxidant, playing an important role in protecting the body from cancers. Pumpkin is a good source of minerals, vitamin C and fiber, all of which are associated with heart health and keep your skin strong, healthy and, hopefully, wrinkle free. The squash also contains a healthy amount of vitamin E, which helps reduce damage caused to your skin by ultraviolet light. Besides, the fiber in pumpkin can help you feel full—which, in turn, boosts your odds of consuming healthy portions of food. Every half cup of cooked pumpkin provides about 3 grams of fiber. Pumpkins are also low in calories: a cup of cooked pumpkin contains about 50 calories, which helps with weight management.
1．What does Lisa Jones think of pumpkin
A．It can be used in various western dishes.
B．It is more than used in dishes or decoration.
C．It is easy to carve pumpkin into diverse shapes.
D.It suits people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
2．Which of the following is the biggest advantage about pumpkin
A．It ripens in fall.
B．It can be bought all over the year.
C．It is not hard to add it to daily dishes.
D．It can be made into various products.
3．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A．The classification of pumpkin.
B．The characteristics of pumpkin.
C．Different ways to consume pumpkin.
D．The potential benefits of consuming pumpkin.
4．Where is the passage most likely from
A．A review. B．A guidebook.
C．A fiction. D．A website.

Are calcium supplements (补钙) safe The short answer is probably yes. Many people take calcium supplements. Most are women. They do it to build stronger bones. But it is not clear that calcium prevents fractures (骨折). The government advises post middle aged women not to take calcium supplements to prevent fractures.
What are the risks from calcium supplements Kidney stones (肾结石) are the biggest risk. The risk depends on whether you are also taking Vitamin D. A study found that when calcium was taken with Vitamin D, there was a 17 percent increase in the incidence of kidney stones. Another report said the risk disappeared when calcium was taken without Vitamin D.
Another study asked if there was an increased risk of death and cancer associated with the use of calcium supplements and Vitamin D. This study and another study found that calcium supplements do not increase the risk of dying earlier. These and other studies also found no increased risk of breast cancer, colorectal cancer, or cancer in general.
Calcium supplements do not seem to increase the risk of heart disease. A report stated that calcium intake has little or no effect on heart disease risk.
Government guidelines stop short of recommending calcium supplements. The decision rests on your concerns about your health. Calcium can also interact with certain medicine. But there is sufficient evidence to suggest that calcium supplements are safe when not taken with Vitamin D.
5．Why do some women take calcium supplements
A．To follow the trends.
B．To beautify themselves.
C．To strengthen their bones.
D．To lengthen their lives.
6．What determines the risk of taking calcium supplements according to Paragraph 2
A．How one takes calcium supplements.
B．When one takes calcium supplements.
C．How many calcium supplements one takes.
D．What brand calcium supplements one takes.
7．Which of the following is consistent with studies
A．Calcium supplements are safe when taken with Vitamin D.
B．Calcium taken with Vitamin D will decrease kidney stones.
C．Calcium supplements will increase the risk of dying earlier.
D．Calcium supplements will not increase the risk of cancer.
8．In which section may the passage appear on a newspaper
A．Sports. B．Health.
C．Climate. D．Economy.

Escaping from stressful lives—a growing market
Hotels are introducing programs aimed at helping guests stay healthy, both mentally and physically. __1__
Growing stress from life and work is one of the reasons why people are seeking more ways to refresh themselves. In an online survey, about 1，000 participants were conducted by CBNData in June 2021. __2__ 50% of 962 respondents said they would participate in fitness activities to relieve stress.
__3__ Staying in a wellness (健康) hotel is a healthy experience that allows people to relax physically and mentally, change themselves and become a positive influence to people around them.
The quality of sleep is one of the most important factors of good health. This opinion is shared by the majority of the respondents to a survey cited by CBNData. __4__ An increased need to improve the quality of sleep has presented new opportunities to hotels where many guests sleep.

In the depths of Catoctin Mountain Park, 19 year old Melita Bell almost broke down. Having been working at Camp Greentop, a summer camp for people with disabilities, for just a week, she didn't think she could keep going. “I'm gonna quit. This is outside of my comfort zone...I wonder if I'm even making a difference with these campers.” Bell said.
The second week, she changed her mind. She grew to love what she was doing. “It's more physical and harder, because we have campers who have a lot of personal care needs and things like that, but I just got more joy out of it，” she said.
Bell came back to camp year after year until she began working full time at the camp. The camp was created in 1937, supporting people with intellectual and physical disabilities, whether they are developmental or acquired. “They're not for their condition. They're here to have fun, to socialize, and to find other people to connect with.” Bell said.
Greentop is made up of six sessions (期), each about a week long. Two are for adults (18 plus) only, two are just for ages 7 to 21, and two are for all ages. The adult only sessions are relatively unstructured, allowing campers to do whichever activity appeals to them. The other sessions are much more structured. Campers cycle between different activities around camp in 45 minute sessions, which kind of gets some campers into trouble. Instructors make sure to “put ability first”. They create ways for every camper to participate in an activity. If a camper can't use their hands, they can use their mouth to paint during arts and crafts.
“Our instructors get a 10 day long training before camp starts, where they learn to master necessary skills of taking care of people with disabilities. They take the responsibility of caring for youth or adult participants very seriously and do what they can to maintain an environment that improves safety and wellbeing of all participants, as well as encourages personal growth and independence.” Bell said.
24．Who is Camp Greentop targeted at
A．The disabled. B．The young. C．Volunteers. D．Parents.
25．What made Bell continue her work in Greentop
A．The different comfort zone. B．The enjoyment from the job.
C．The difficulty of landing a new job. D．The request from the campers.
26．Why does the author mention “use their mouth” in Paragraph 4
A．To stress every camper has a say in Greentop.
B．To suggest Greentop focuses on all round development.
C．To prove Greentop has unique means of testing campers' skills.
D．To show Greentop encourages active involvement of each camper.
27．What can we learn about the instructors in the last paragraph
A．They're responsible and reliable. B．They're talented and considerate.
C．They're curious and influential. D．They're competitive and sensitive.

There have been many attempts to create an all plastic bike. However, most have never made it past the beginning stage. Igus, a Germany based company of high－performance plastics, and Dutch start up MTRL aim to change that with the igus: bike—the world's first city bike crafted almost totally from recycled plastic.
Igus CEO Frank Blasé first got the idea while vacationing on a Florida beach. A conversation with workers at a rental company made him aware of the challenges of maintaining beach bicycles. The long term exposure to sand, wind and saltwater caused the bikes to rust (生锈) rapidly. Many had to be replaced in as little as three months.
The igus：bike was uncovered at a German trade show. It can be left outdoors in all weathers and does not require lubricant oil to reduce friction (摩擦) between parts. Since it does not attract sand, dust or dirt, the bike can be cleaned with a garden water pipe in seconds. Currently, 90 percent of the igus: bike is made using plastic. This includes the bicycle's hard but lightweight frame, bearings, pedals, and wheel rims.
The igus: bike will also help reduce the world's plastic pollution. The company says a single adult bike gives new life to about 35 pounds of single use plastic that would have entered our landfills or waterways. For example, the first prototypes were made from old fishing nets. MTRL says it is planning to set producing facilities near plastics landfills around the world.
“From ocean plastics to plastics from other sources, the igus：bike has what it takes to become a high tech environmental product，” says MTRL co founder Benjamin Alderse Baas.
The plastic bikes are expected to come onto the market in early 2023. An adult model, made from recycled plastic, will cost about1，400. A slightly cheaper version made using new plastic and an electric bike are also in the works. Igus also plans on sharing its technology with other bicycle producers. “We want to enable the bicycle industry to produce plastic bikes，” says Blasé.
28．How did Frank Blasé get the idea about the igus：bike
A．By carrying out detailed research.
B．By following the advice from consumers.
C．By learning from other bicycle producers.
D．By chatting with some workers on the beach.
29．What can we learn about the igus：bike
A．It is difficult to clean. B．It is made from plastic entirely.
C．It has no friction between parts. D．It can improve the environment.
30．Which of the following may Igus do in the future
A．Cut the price of the igus: bike.
B．Find new materials for the igus: bike.
C．Lecture on the technology of the igus：bike.
D．Set producing facilities around the world.
31．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Igus: an innovative company B．The igus: bike: a plastic bicycle
C．Future of the bicycle industry D．Plastic pollution around the world
D
Zero emission (排放) large passenger aircraft powered by hydrogen (氢) will be technically available in five years, according to Airbus, but they will not enter service for at least a decade as the price of the fuel needs to come down.
The prediction comes from Glenn Llewellyn, vice president of zero emission technology at the European plane maker. He said that while Airbus planned to demonstrate hydrogen powered aircraft in 2025, over the next 10 years, hydrogen won't be more economic than the fossil fuel. “To make real emissions free hydrogen powered planes, which give out only water and heat, their fuel needs to come from hydrogen produced via renewable sources such as wind and solar，” he added. “Another barrier is building up the ecosystem that hydrogen aircraft will need.”
However, Mr. Llewellyn predicted that there was enough interest in the sector to make this happen. In an interview, Mr. Llewellyn said, “We already see massive increases in the amount of renewable energy being produced across the world. Wind energy production has multiplied by two over the last five years and solar energy production has multiplied by four.” He added, “There are a number of independent institutes that have mapped out how hydrogen costs can come down over the next decades. We see a 30% reduction in renewable hydrogen costs in 2030 compared to where it is today, and a 50% reduction in renewable hydrogen costs by 2050. They are exactly the kind of cost figures that are interesting for us, because it makes zero emission aircraft commercially viable (可行的) in the 2030s.”
Last month UK based ZeroAvia conducted the world's first flight of a commercial grade aircraft powered by hydrogen. A few days before, Airbus announced a series of design proposals for hydrogen driven aircraft, including a “blended wing” concept that provides greater storage capacity. This design could be key to hydrogen powered aircraft as the fuel is less energy dense (密度大) than conventional fuel and so requires more space to match performance of existing airplanes.
32．What does Paragraph 2 focus on
A．The future to make hydrogen powered aircraft.
B．The importance of making hydrogen powered aircraft.
C．The problems with making hydrogen powered aircraft.
D．The possibility of making hydrogen powered aircraft.
33．What does the underlined word “capacity” in the last paragraph mean
A．Space. B．Ability. C．Place. D．Capability.
34．What is Mr. Llewellyn's attitude towards the future of Zero emission large aircraft
A．Cautious. B．Negative. C．Doubtful. D．Positive.
35．What is the text mainly about
A．The Zero emission aircraft's first flight was tested.
B．Zero emission large aircraft will be available.
C．Zero emission large aircraft has been mass produced.
D．The production of Zero emission large aircraft encountered barriers.

I was moving as fast as I could, stepping cautiously from rock to rock along the uneven jetty (栈桥). Far ahead, I could see the back of my brother's sandy hair and the bright orange of his shorts.
“Too slow, sister！” I heard Sam yell as he hopped with ease.
“I'll show him，” I thought, and attempted a double jump. What a mistake! My left foot came down hard between the edges of two gray rocks scraping my ankle. “Ouch！” I yelled. I tried to wiggle (扭动) my foot out, but my shoe was stuck. I bent closer to the rock and that's when I saw it: a shiny, square shaped stone the color of water, attached to a glittery gold chain. It was just lying there on the wet sand, and a few seconds later it was in my pocket.
Sam squinted (眯着眼睛看) in the sun. Could he tell I was hiding the most perfect discovery of the summer I kept turning the treasure around in my pocket, pushing each corner of the square stone into my finger. I was dizzy, but I didn't want Sam to notice. He liked to tell everybody my business.
“Ryan saved the mini cola bottle from the carnival！” It happened to be perfect for sand art!
“Ryan wasted her allowance on salt and pepper shakers from the yard sale！” They were antique little pig and cost only 50 cents.
My family calls me their little collector. Some mean kids at school call me “trash girl”．
Sam and I walked along the main street, the small buildings giving us a break from the sun. Through the window of the candy shop, I could see tubes of colorful jelly beans. A sign on the window's glass read LOST: Gold and blue necklace. Very special. If found, call Chrissy at 555 9924.
Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster. The necklace looked different from the one I clutched in my pocket, I decided. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago. We continued to walk, and I noticed four more posters. Someone must have returned that necklace by now, I thought.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Once home, I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things, lost in thought.________________________________________________________________________

A
Covering an area of 972，000 square kilometers, Greenland National Park is one of the largest parks in the world, including both the highest parts of the Northern Hemisphere's largest ice cap and the world's northernmost land area.
For thousands of years, various Inuit (因纽特人的) cultures have lived and survived here thanks to the Arctic species of animals. Today, the hunters from Ittoqqortoormiit are the only ones who have regular access to the area. They go on dogsled (狗拉雪橇) trips and hunt in the National Park. The only people who live in the vast area are a total of about 40 people in five settlements.
·The Sirius Patrol has its main base at Daneborg in Northeast Greenland. The Patrol is responsible for monitoring the area by dogsled. They also have to control exploration and protection rules in the National Park.
·Mestersvig is hiring people, and especially in summer, there is a lively activity in the old mining (采矿) town.
·The weather stations at Station North and in Denmark's Harbour are also staffed. The main task of the staff in Denmark's Harbour is to launch a weather balloon twice a day with measuring instruments.
·Zackenberg Research Station is about 450 kilometers north of Ittoqqortoormiit. Research is conducted here into the effects of climate change. The station is located in a high Arctic climate area that reacts earlier than other areas to changes in global weather.
Each year the National Park is the goal for a growing number of scientific explorers. Many also come to explore the tracks of ancient Inuit settlements.
21．Which of the following best describes the Greenland National Park
A．Species poor. B．Extremely cold. C．Easily accessible. D．Highly developed.
22．Where do people probably go for the protection of the National Park
A．Daneborg. B．Mestersvig.
C．Station North. D．Denmark's Harbour .
23．What is the main task of Zackenberg Research Station

Sunny Goyal and Unnati Mittal went on a trip to the Amarkantak Hills where they noticed a lot of plastic waste lying around destroying the beauty of the place. They saw animals consuming that plastic and tourists throwing away more single use plastic, and learned that the locals also burn plastic waste along with wood to keep themselves warm. The amount of environmental pollution shocked the two students. Returning to their campus, Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) in Indore, they realized the problem was everywhere. “We saw our friends and other students throwing single use plastic away wherever they liked, even when thrown in garbage bins, none of it had been treated properly. And all of it ended up in landfills (垃圾填埋场). We decided to do something about this，” Sunny says.
And this is how Plament was born. Plament is a start up that develops a unique material from plastic waste that can be then used to build eco friendly furniture (家具) and items for indoor decoration. The material that these students have created is 100 per cent recycled and made out of plastic waste. “We were business students and didn't know much about the entire process. Our teachers at NMIMS helped us understand and also provided us with access to the labs. We made our first sample (样品) at our campus and within a few months of experimentation, we developed the material from plastic waste，” explains Unnati.
Adding to that, Sunny says，“We collected different types of plastic waste, and each one has different melting temperature. We had to figure out what kind of plastic or plastic waste would be suitable to create furniture, after that it went through several processes like compression (压缩) and chemical treatment. The material created is finally heat proof and water resistant and scratch proof(防划伤的). The furniture made from this is lower in cost than wooden furniture and what other plastic competitor brands offer. And it is not as harmful as regular plastic.”
24．What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about
A．The experience of a trip full of waste. B．The motivation for establishing Plament.
C.The pollution that needs to be dealt with. D．The reason why Sunny and Unnati got shocked.
25．What did the students do first to develop the material from plastic waste
A．They consulted with the teachers.
B．They did months of trials in the labs.
C.They invited other students to join them.
D.They collected as much plastic waste as they could.
26．What helped the students figure out suitable plastic for creating furniture
A．Assessing the cost.
B．Testing the chemicals.
C.Identifying the melting temperature.
D．Comparing different plastic materials with wood.
27．How does Sunny feel about the future of the furniture made from the new material
A．Worried. B．Uncertain. C．Optimistic. D．Unconcerned.
C
When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn't sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.
Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It's a plant's way of crying out. But is anyone listening Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbours react.
Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive，the__tables__are__turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.
In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.
Does this mean that plants talk to each other Scientists don't know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn't a true, intentional back and forth. Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate (亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There's a whole lot going on.
28．What does a plant do when it is under attack
A．It makes noises. B．It gets help from other plants.
C．It stands quietly. D．It sends out certain chemicals.
29．What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in Paragraph 3
A．The attackers get attacked. B．The insects gather under the table.
C．The plants get ready to fight back. D．The perfumes attract natural enemies.
30．Scientists find from their studies that plants can ________．
A．predict natural disasters B．protect themselves against insects
C．talk to one another intentionally D．help their neighbors when necessary
31．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．The world is changing faster than ever.
B．People have stronger senses than before.
C．The world is more complex than it seems.
D．People in Darwin's time were imaginative.
D
The number of birds coming through your neighborhood is changing, and so is the timing of their migrations (迁徙). Birdwatchers noticing these differences are playing a big part in understanding how climate change and severe weather events are affecting bird population.
John Rowden is director of community conservation at the National Audubon Society, which aims to protect birds and their environment. He said, “Birdwatchers have to be much more alert (警觉的) to when birds are coming through than they used to be, since birds may be coming through much earlier or much later.”
Rowden said, “Birdwatchers are increasingly seeing birds in their areas that are usually found elsewhere. And they are seeing fewer of the birds that usually travel through. Although we have seen these birds, it doesn't mean they'll always be there. They are declining in numbers because we're throwing so many things at them, so we need to do what we can to help them.”
“At least 314 species of American birds are expected to lose 50 percent or more of their range by the end of the century. Those species are listed by the Audubon Society as climate threatened or endangered，” Rowden added.
Environmentalists say there are a few easy steps people can take to help struggling bird populations. These include planting native species, which leads to more native insects for the birds to eat. During spring and fall migration seasons, people can help migrating birds by keeping outdoor lights turned off and covering reflective surfaces like large windows. People also should make indoor plants less visible to passing birds.
Geoff LeBaron, director of the Christmas Bird Count at the National Audubon Society, says he has seen the effects of climate change firsthand. “I've been a birdwatcher since I was a little kid，” he said. “It's clear that climate change is affecting and will continue to affect birds on a global scale, and it's a question of whether or not they can adapt to what the climate is throwing at them.”
32．What do the birdwatchers find
A．Local birds are increasing in their areas.
B．50 percent of American birds have disappeared.
C．Climate change affects animal population greatly.
D．The number and timing of migrating birds are changing.
33．Why do the birdwatchers have to be more alert
A．To deal with climate change. B．To do research on bird population.
C．To watch the migrating birds in time. D．To help birds migrate successfully.
34．Which paragraph mainly focuses on the ways to help the birds
A．Paragraph 5. B．Paragraph 4. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 2.
35．What does Geoff LeBaron think of the birds' situation
A．It's hopeless. B．It's normal. C．It's worrying. D．It's promising.

Brutus had everything in the world: good food, good toys, and good clothes. But the problem was that he had to share them all with his three other brothers, Mack, Jack and Robert.
Brutus had to share his favorite cookie box with Mack, who always finished the whole box before Brutus could take a bite. He also had to share his toys with his youngest brother Jack, who always ended up breaking them. Brutus also had the unfortunate privilege of being given his older brother Robert's hand me downs of old clothes.
Brutus hated sharing and wished he had nobody to share his belongings with. “Why can't I be the only child？” Brutus sighed as he stared at the stars. “I wish I had no stupid brothers，” Brutus demanded at one sparkling star.
To his surprise, the star suddenly twinkled and fell towards his direction. The star inched closer and closer to his bedroom window. He screamed and tried to wake his brothers up but it was too late. The star crashed inside their room, followed by an ear splitting explosion.
The next day, Brutus woke up with a bad headache. He rushed to his brothers' beds to ask them if they were okay but was quickly shocked to see that their beds had been empty. They were nowhere to be found.
Brutus had the fortune of spending the whole morning playing with his toys. He put on his brother's brand new clothes and sneakers which fit him perfectly. As he was checking himself in the mirror, he suddenly realized that his wish had come true. His brothers were gone and he had the whole world to himself.
“I can get used to this，” he said to himself happily.

[2023·厦门高二检测]Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci...the art world has never lacked talent. And now, a new painter is ready to join the list although this one isn't even human.
Next month, auction house Christie's Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art created by artificial intelligence (AI) for sale. The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond De Belamy, and is expected to be sold for up to $10，000.
The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face, was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious. Laugero Lasserre, an art collector, called the work “grotesque and amazing at the same time”. This isn't the first example of AI produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all.
According to Russian writer Leo Tolstroy (1828－1910), art was about creating emotion. “It's a means of joining people together in the same feelings，” he once said.
So, if the emotion behind art is what makes it, the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers. Together, they “fed” the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th century, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.
The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement.However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high tech artists just yet.
“The human mind is what's behind the AI technology. And the human mind is not a cold, hard fact，” said Oscar Schwartz, a professor of AI. “Rather, it is something that's created with our opinions and something that changes over.”
1．Why does the author mention the artists in Paragraph 1
A．To introduce their works.
B．To make an advertisement.
C．To present a piece of news.
D．To focus the topic on the AI.
2．What does the underlined word “grotesque” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Strange. B．Simple.
C．Messy. D．Understandable.
3．What can we learn about the AI produced artwork according to Paragraph 5
A．It comes from human works.
B．It shows human ability to create.
C．It expresses human feeling effectively.
D．It is beyond the imagination of humans.
4．How does Oscar Schwartz think the human mind compared with the AI
A．Limited. B．Decisive.
C．Useless. D．Meaningful.

[2023·石家庄高二检测]Martha Graham, born in 1894, was one of the most famous dancers and creators of dance, whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the modern visual arts, Stravinsky had on music, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture. She created almost two hundred dance pieces. She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance.
Earlier in her life, however, Martha did not know that she would become a dancer. At that time, the dancers were looked down on. So Martha's parents didn't approve of her desire to dance at the beginning. Until 1916, she began her studies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts, founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing.
In 1936, Graham made her defining work, Chronicle, which signaled the beginning of a new era in modern dance. The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner. Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Great Depression that followed, and the Spanish Civil War, it focused on depression and isolation, reflected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes.
Graham continued to dance past the age of seventy. Once again, she was met with criticism from people who came to watch her shows. But she didn't give up. Her last completed ballet was 1990's Maple Leaf Rag. A Dancer's World is an introduction to Graham and her work. She tells about her dances and her dance group shows some of their methods.
Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1976. She was the first dancer to receive the country's highest civilian honor. She died in 1991. In 1998, Time magazine listed her as the “Dancer of the Century” and as one of the most important people of the twentieth century.
5．Why are some famous artists mentioned in Paragraph 1
A．To show Martha Graham was influenced greatly by them.
B．To show Martha Graham kept in touch with them regularly.
C．To show Martha Graham had a great effect on modern dance.
D．To show Martha Graham liked to make more friends with them.
6．Why didn't Martha's parents approve of her desire to dance at first
A．She was too old to learn American dance.
B．American dance was seen as a lower art form.
C．There was no academic school to teach dancing.
D．Her family was too poor to afford her tuition.
7．What happened to Martha Graham when she continued to dance in her 70s
A．She was warmly welcomed by the youth.
B．She achieved huge success once again.
C．She received many awards for her age.
D．She was attacked by people.
8．What is the passage mainly about
A．The background of modern dance in America.
B．The development of modern dance in America.
C．Martha Graham and her achievements in dance.
D．The awards Martha Graham won in her life.

主题阅读训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
[2023·河北省衡水市高二期中]I remember that it was a fall morning when the orchestra (管弦乐队) teachers came into Miss Newell's third grade classroom. “You have hands for the viola (中提琴)，” Miss Ciano told me. I was excited because my hands were finally good for something. I told my parents I wanted to play, and naturally, they agreed.
Since I first touched the viola, I haven't been able to put it down. Ignoring the difficulty, I am pulled closer to it each day.
Classical music is truly my best friend. It is the trusted friend of every man, woman and child. Various feelings are expressed in classical music. I discovered that when I was eleven and played a cello concerto (大提琴协奏曲) of Bach in a competition, the first movement was joyful, but the second movement was mysterious and full of pain. From the piece, I learned that music expresses not only feelings, but also sudden mood changes. By listening to classical music, I know that someone else shares these feelings. Since I am lucky enough to be able to play classical music, I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger.
Now look back at that fall day in the third grade and think how gullible I was for believing that anyone, even music teachers, could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument. I'm certain they told me I had “viola hands” not because they were fortune tellers (算命师), but because there was a lack of violists in our district. Classical music is one of the best things that ever happened to mankind. If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life.

A．To introduce an interesting musical class.
B．To offer the evidence of her gift for music.

2．According to the passage, in what way does classical music help the author
A．By developing social skills.
B．By improving mental health.
C．By broadening life experience.
D．By building close relationship.
3．What does the underlined word “gullible” mean in the last paragraph
A．Easily tricked. B. Firmly loved.
C．Greatly challenged. D. Secretly hidden.
4．Which could be the best title for the passage
A．Special event, sweet memory.
B．Classical music, endless friendship.
C．Lifetime dream, great effort.
D．Happy childhood, unforgotten experience.

Robert Frost (1874－1963) is one of America's most beloved poets. He was a contemporary of many modernist poetic movements, but he wasn't associated (与……有联系) with any particular group of poets.He stuck to his own literary beliefs, and as a result, he attracted a good deal of criticism from the literary world.But, it is just because he was such a person and his voice was so original that Frost became so beloved.If you are to choose one of his poems and read it aloud on a busy street, we are sure that many people will recognize the poem immediately as Frost's.
Mending Wall, which is the first poem in North of Boston, Frost's second book of poetry, is one of his most popular poems.It is a poem about two neighbors who fix a rock wall that lies between their homes.“I” want to destroy the wall, and the “neighbor” wants to leave it standing.
We just can't get enough of walls, can we People love boundaries (界线).We love them when we're little, protecting our precious toys from our troublesome (令人烦恼的) brothers and sisters.As we get older, we begin to throw around the gentle term “personal space”， as in “GET OUT OF MY ROOM！” In college, we really learn how the idea of “My house is your house” doesn't always result in happy roommate relationships.After we become adults with good jobs and a lot of cool things, we often put up fences, gates, walls, or doors to protect our stuff and keep the peace.
Walls help us protect ourselves, but their downside is that they often keep people from communicating with each other. Mending Wall makes us take a look at how we use our walls and boundaries, and why we use them the way we do.This poem sends a wakeup call to the universe.There are walls between our hearts.
5．What can we learn about Robert Frost
A．His writing style is special.
B．His first poem is about life.
C．He often criticized other poets.
D．He joined in many poetic movements.

B．There seem to be lots of walls in our life.
C．Walls let people know about themselves.
D．Personal space is important to everyone.
7．How does the third paragraph develop
A．Space. B．Example.
C．Time. D．Comparison.
8．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “downside” in the last paragraph
A.True use. B．Old way.
C．Negative part. D．Major difference.
Ⅱ.七选五
[2023·鄂州市部分高中高二期中]There are three basic kinds for memory: short term memory, working memory, and long term memory. Short term memory is the sort of memory you use when someone tells you their phone number and you remember it just long enough to write it down. Working memory is a more active version of short term memory and the brain is able to retain it a little longer. __1__
To get something into your short term memory, you need both Input and Output. Here's a formula: Input＋Output＝Short Term Memory.
__2__ It is something outside of your head being put into your head. Output is even more exciting because you have so many creative choices and it's up to you to decide how to apply what you've learned.
__3__ By thinking about new information and then doing something active with it, you are essentially telling your brain that this new information is worth remembering. That “doing something” could be a lot of creative possibilities.
But how should you improve your long term memory __4__ Here's the formula: Input＋Output＋Review＝Long Term Memory.
Imagine a grassy lawn that is between someone's driveway and front door. Rather than walk the long way down the path, most people just cut through the grass to get to their car, right The more times someone cuts through the grass, the flatter the grass becomes on that new pathway until, eventually, there is a permanent dirt path. __5__ Every time you review something, neurons (神经元) form a “pathway” in your brain and make it more permanent. Maybe we should really be saying “practice makes memory”．
A．All you need to do is review.
B．A good memory is very important.
C．That is pretty much how the brain works.
D．It's quite different from long term memory.
E．We make a memory only when we use information.
F.Input is quite simply putting something into your brain.
G．However, long term memory stores information for a few days up to decades.

Jan or Johan Vermeer was a Dutch Baroque painter from the “Golden Age of Dutch Painting”. He was obscure during his lifetime; but in the nineteenth century, his work was brought to light, and he is now regarded as one of the greatest figures of Baroque painting—with his focus on simple portraits and household scenes. He is admired for the ability to present everyday objects with great dignity (庄重) and light.
There is not much information about Jan Vermeer's early life. He didn't travel much outside Holland, and most of his paintings were bought by a local man. His father was a dealer of paintings and also a local inn owner. When his father died in 1652, Jan took over the business of selling pictures and ownership of a small inn. When his mother died in 1670, he also inherited her local restaurant, and he often worked there at night selling alcohol and dishes to customers.
In 1653, Jan married a young girl named Catherina Bolies. Together they had fourteen children, though four died soon. Jan did a significant portion of his painting within his large house. He liked to paint in his own studio, even though household life may have been noisy with 14 children and his mother in law, whom he often argued with.
Jan was a slow worker, producing only three paintings a year. This was partly due to his technique of granular (似颗粒状的) painting. He was careful in capturing the light and colour of his various subjects. Unusually for the time, Jan often focused on simple household scenes such as “The Milkmaid” or the “Music Lesson”．
An important aspect of Vermeer's paintings were his portraits—often of women. The portraits capture a style of reassuring calm, dignity and contentment with everyday life. To Vermeer, they may have represented an idealized view of life and women, which did not always match reality.The Girl with a Pearl Earring is widely considered a Vermeer masterpiece.It is also regarded as one of the greatest portrait pictures ever painted and is sometimes referred to as the Mona Lisa of the North.
24．What does the underlined word “obscure” mean in Paragraph 1
A．Not clear. B．Quite poor. C．Not well known. D．Rather confusing.
25．What did Vermeer's mother leave for him after her death
A．A local inn. B．A restaurant.
C．Several paintings. D．A job of selling wines.
26．Which of the following may become a subject of his painting
A．Hills around his town. B．Children in the school.
C．A boat on the foggy sea. D．A young woman in his house.
27．What is the passage
A．A novel about a painter. B．A biography of a person.
C．An analysis of painting styles. D．A review of Vermeer's painting.
C
In a street largely unchanged since it was built in the 1800s, Hobart's Battery Point is probably the last place you would expect to find a farm.
In one corner of Peter Handy's backyard is a controlled environment unit that houses vertical pastures (垂直牧场), the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere (半球). Mr. Handy is changing the definition of what it means to be a farmer. “I know it's really funny, because when people say to me, ‘Where's your farm？’， I'll say ‘it's in Battery Point’ and they're like, ‘No, there's no farms in Battery Point’，” he said “People think the Martians have landed because we've got this massive, big pink light that comes out of it from the bottom but other than that, they'd have no idea.”
Not just a backyard project, Mr. Handy is running a business. “It's here because I need to be as close to my customers, the chefs and restaurants of Hobart，” he said. “I aim to use the least amount of food miles as possible and make this a super efficient business.”
Using LED lights and hydroponic nutrients, the farm grows leafy greens, root vegetables and flowering plants. “I don't have to worry about floods, wind, wild animals, electric fences, turning the soil over，”Mr .Handy said. Using 95 percent less water than traditional farming, the farm ticks the box environmentally. “I mean, this is definitely not the answer to food sustainability in the world. But it's definitely a part of it.”
Science writer Julian Cribb believes a world food crisis is coming, due to a combination of loss of water, loss of topsoil, climate change and overuse of poisons. “We're going to need to change the nature of the way we produce food and change the human diet at the same time，” he said, “and new urban farming methods would see most of the world's great cities feeding themselves.”
Mr. Cribb said Australia was still quite a way off from adopting urban farming. But he believes that it poses a rather unique opportunity for Australian farmers to sell their expertise to cities, teaching people to grow food in urban environments.
28．What might people think of Mr. Handy's farm
A．Scared. B．Impressed. C．Disappointed. D．Confused.
29．What does Mr. Handy say about his farm
A．It is not affected by weather. B．It mainly plants and sells flowers.
C．It serves customers from near and far. D．It is the solution to food sustainability.
30．What's the purpose of Mr. Cribb's words in Paragraph 5
A．To praise his contribution to science.
B．To explain how urban farming works.
C．To stress the necessity of urban farming.
D．To present the seriousness of the food crisis.
31．What's the passage mainly about
A．Cities are struggling to get food.
B．Technology is changing people's life.
C．Peter Handy is a successful businessman.
D．Food production is being moved into cities.
D
Recently, there have been huge advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs that create art. The programs, which create artworks based on short descriptions, have amazed many people. They have also raised difficult questions.
In April, reported on Dall E 2, a tool from OpenAI. Dall E 2 uses AI to create incredible paintings, photos, and other artworks in many different styles based on simple descriptions. Since then, OpenAI has changed its rules to allow anyone to sign up and use the tool. But it's still putting strong controls on the art that can be created.
But now there are several other AI tools that work in similar ways. These new tools are free or cheap, and don't have some of Dall E 2's limits.Midjourney is a website that allows users to create images from short descriptions. Stable Diffusion is similar, but users can also run the program on their own computers.
The new tools are entertaining and powerful. They allow people to quickly see almost any idea they can imagine, even if they aren't artists. For some creative workers, like those at companies that create ads or images, the tools allow them to quickly explore new ideas.
Many artists are upset that they're now competing against computers for attention, prizes—and jobs. It's hard for a single artist to compete against all the art and photography that have ever appeared on the Internet. In August, Jason Allen won first place at the Colorado State Fair with his picture Thé tre D'opéra Spatial, which he created with Midjourney. That upset many people.
The images and the descriptions used to train these AI programs were taken from the Internet. The training images were used without permission, which has raised questions about whether what these tools are doing is fair or legal.
The creators of the training pictures haven't given permission for their images to be used, but their skills and talents are a huge part of what makes the new tools so successful. Some artists' groups say artists should get to decide if their work can be used by these tools.
32．What should you do to create artworks with Dall E 2 or Midjourney
A．Write a short article. B．Upload some photos.
C．Draw simple pictures. D．Offer brief descriptions.
33．How do many artists react to the new AI tools
A．They welcome them warmly. B．They accept them unwillingly.
C．They are concerned about them. D．They are dissatisfied with them.
34．What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A．Jason Allen's winning the prize. B．Jason Allen's using Midjourney.
C．Jason Allen's creating a picture. D．Jason Allen's attracting attention.
35．In which column of a website are we likely to read this passage
A．Business. B．Lifestyle. C. Science. D．Education.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Taking the chance to ask questions is more important than someone else answering them. Every day holds countless opportunities to better connect with the world around you through the questions you ask. __36__. Below are a few strategies that will help you think about how to ask more questions and come up with good questions to ask.
·__37__
The questions you ask about yourself help you better understand the unique person you are. The better you understand yourself, the more you can build your life around the things you want and need, and set yourself up for future success. Get to know yourself better by asking yourself simple interview questions about these and other qualities. When you understand yourself well, the things you do make more sense. __38__. It's also a lot easier to plan ahead and have a much higher chance of succeeding in everything that makes life feel so hard.
·Use What You Know to Discover What You Don't
A question is little more than a bridge between what you currently know and what you don't yet know. To mark out a question, you need to draw from things you already know and highlight any gaps you are trying to fill. Taking advantage of existing knowledge to further your learning is a powerful tool. The more knowledge and curiosity you can bring into your exploration of life, the more possibilities you create for yourself.__39__.
·Practice Active Listening
People want to be heard and appreciated. Everyone wants to feel that their existence is recognized and valued by others. It turns out to be remarkably easy to give this gift to people by asking them great questions. Next time you're at a happy hour or fancy party, try this. Pick someone to talk to, and give them your full attention. __40__. You can see the change in someone's behavior as they open up about a topic they care about. This strategy is also a quick way to learn that everyone you meet has something new to teach you.
A．Question Yourself
B．Fill curiosity with enthusiasm
C．Give you room to share more of your stories with them
D．It's easier to see why something may not have worked for you
E．All it takes is to spot those opportunities and take them often
F．What you already know can help you better understand this situation
G．Listen to what they say, and ask thoughtful questions that allow them to tell you more

Riya, an 8 year old pupil, lived happily in a big city with her parents, who loved Riya dearly and did what they could to buy what she wanted for her. Riya was smart and excellent in her studies. Not only that, she was always ready to help others.
One day when Riya entered her classroom, she saw a crowd admiring Riya's friend Mary's new pen and talking cheerfully. Riya fell in love with that pen at first glance and desired to get Mary's permission to let her use it. Seconds later, the school bell rang, sending the children hurrying to the school grounds for morning prayers.
After a while, their teacher Grace let Riya fetch some chalk from the classroom, in which Riya once again saw Mary's delicate pen, lying on the desk elegantly. Riya took it fondly and went to her desk, ready to write on her book with the lovely pen when she heard the sound of someone walking by. Without thinking, she put the pen in her pocket and saw who it was. Jane, her other friend, was returning to the classroom. Riya immediately ran out from the back door noiselessly and went to the playground to pray.
The morning prayers finished, everyone went to class, followed by their teacher Grace. The moment Mary found her pen was missing, she got annoyed. Without delay, she ran to the front and complained to Grace, saying in tears, “Someone must have stolen my new pen.”
Having quietened the noisy class, Grace asked them who was in the classroom during the prayers. Almost everyone pointed at Jane, who explained she just felt uncomfortable when praying and came back to rest. Grace asked Jane if she had taken Mary's new pen, to which Jane said no firmly, insisting she knew nothing about that pen. But she had nobody to prove her words. Suspected and feeling sad，Jane burst out crying.
Everything happened fast and unexpectedly before Riya suddenly realized the pen was still in her pocket. She froze on the spot, afraid of being treated as a thief.

North American Train Routes for a Family Vacation
The Adirondack
Considered one of the top ten scenic train rides in the world, the Adirondack train route travels from New York City's Penn Station to Montreal, Canada. The 10 hour trip is great for a weekend away in either Montreal or Manhattan. The route will take you past West Point Academy, the Hudson River Valley and fifty miles of Lake Champlain.
The Vermonter
The almost 11 hour trip from Washington, D．C. to St. Albans. Vermont takes you from the U．S. capital, through the beautiful New England states of Connecticut and Massachusetts on the way to Vermont. As you travel through New England towns, you'll be able to see some of the most beautiful scenery in this area, including rivers, falls and covered bridges.
The Downeaster
The Downeaster was established in 2001 and was expanded in recent years to include service to Freeport and Brunswick, Maine. The short ride (between three and four hours) includes a trip along the beautiful Maine coastline. With five round trips offered daily, it's a great way for Massachusetts families to visit Maine for a day or longer. Many of these routes carry volunteers to aid passengers with questions about local attractions and destinations.
The Pennsylvanian
Both New York City and Pittsburgh are great family vacation destinations and the Pennsylvanian route takes you through the beautiful Pennsylvanian landscape between the two major cities. The nine and a half hour trip travels through a variety of different terrains (地形), and stops along the way include Newark, Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Altoona. Connecting train service is available for those looking to travel to Cleveland, Chicago, and Toledo from Pittsburgh.

In the late 1990s, a family visited the school where I taught deaf students. They said they would be moving here and planned to send their deaf daughter to my school as a first grader. They were upset that their child's kindergarten teacher told them not to have high hopes for her academically. Based upon assessment results, the teacher painted a bleak picture for their little girl's future. Standing behind them was Katherine, a beautiful five year old with long hair and dark eyes. The whole time her parents were there, and she didn't make a sound or use sign language, even when her parents prompted her.
After a few weeks with Katherine, I discovered I was dealing with a very bright, very strong willed child. Although I was able to engage her in a variety of learning activities, writing was a constant struggle. I tried all kinds of trickery to interest her in writing. Every time the pencils came out, she would shut down and refuse to write.
One day Katherine got off her bus and stood in front of the school weeping. The staff members present did not know enough sign language to ask her why she was crying. Finally they quickly took her into the office where they handed her a pen and a notepad. Katherine wrote: “PAC BAK.”. Immediately the office staff realized she left her backpack on the bus. They summoned (召唤) the bus back to school and soon Katherine was reunited with her backpack.
That day Katherine discovered the power of the pen. From then on she had a new appreciation for writing. She is a young woman now and has become an excellent writer, public speaker and student leader. In the summer of 2008 I traveled to the National Association of the Deaf Conference in New Orleans and watched her perform competitively as Miss Deaf Colorado. Kathy keeps in touch and I especially treasure her e mails with term papers attached. This young lady wields a very powerful pen!
24．Why was Katherine arranged to the author's school
A．Katherine likes various activities.
B．Her family settled in a new place.
C．The author is good at teaching deaf children.
D．Her parents were satisfied with Katherine's teacher.
25．When the author first met her, what was Katherine doing
A．She kept silent. B．She kept crying. C．She was studying. D．She was writing.
26．What does the underlined word “prompted” mean in Paragraph 1
A．Advised. B．Prevented. C．Convinced. D．Encouraged.
27．What does the author want to show by telling the story in Paragraph 3
A．How Katherine found her backpack. B．What a kind group the staff were.
C．Why Katherine could make a change. D．Where her backpack was found.
C
A study led by the University of Exeter asked parents how often their children engaged in play that was “thrilling and exciting”， where they might experience some fear and uncertainty.
The study comes at a time when children have less opportunity for adventurous play out of sight of adults, such as climbing trees, riding bikes, or jumping from high surfaces. The study sought to test theories that adventurous play offers learning opportunities that help build resilience (韧性) in children, therefore helping to prevent mental health problems.
Researchers surveyed two groups of parents of children aged five to eleven: a group of 427 parents in Northern Ireland and a nationally representative group of 1，919 parents in England, Wales and Scotland. Parents completed questions about their child's play, their general mental health (pre COVID) and their moods during the first COVID 19 lockdown.
Researchers found that children who spent more time playing outside had fewer “internalizing problems”， characterized as anxiety and depression, and were also positive during the first lockdown. The effects were relatively small, as would be expected given the range of factors that affect children's mental health. However, results were consistent even after researchers factored in a wide range of variables including child sex, age, parent employment status and parent mental health. The study in the larger group also found that the effect was more obvious in children from lower income families than those growing up in higher income households.
Belinda Kirk, an explorer, welcomed the findings on adventurous play. “It's a normal instinct to want to protect your children, which I have in bountiful amounts. But we live in a world that is so obsessed (痴迷的) with physical safety that we've forgotten to balance it with mental health. We've prioritized physical safety or physical health over mental health, so we're not letting kids fall down and learn to pick themselves up again, and therefore build up coping mechanisms and resilience，” she said.
Helen Dodd, Professor of Child Psychology at the University of Exeter, who led the study, said, “We're more concerned than ever about children's mental health, and our findings highlight that we might be able to protect children's mental health by ensuring they have plentiful opportunities for adventurous play. This is really positive because play is free, instinctive and rewarding for children, and doesn't require special skills. We now urgently need to invest in and protect natural spaces, well designed parks and adventure playgrounds to support the mental health of our children.”
28．What does the study focus on
A．The variety of adventurous activities.
B．Why children should engage more in outdoor play.
C．The relationship between adventurous play and mental health.
D．How to guarantee children's safety when they play outside.
29．What do we know about the study
A．The results of the two groups are different.
B．The participants are from all over the world.
C．It surveyed the children's mental states in period of time.
D．It found playing outside had greater effects on children than other factors.
30．Which statement would Belinda Kirk agree with
A．Adventurous play is not recommended to young children.
B．We often neglect to maintain children's mental health.
C．It's urgent to build children's resilience to stress.
D．Falling down may do great harm to children.
31．What are Helen Dodd's words mainly about
A．A suggestion for future studies.
B．A major limitation of the study.
C. An insight into the results of this study.
D．An accepted explanation for the research findings.
D
People__seldom__feel__neutral__about__poetry. Those who love it sometimes give the impression that it is an adequate substitute for food，shelter，and love.It isn't.Words, no matter how satisfying, are never an equivalent for life itself and its human experiences.Those who dislike poetry on principle sometimes claim, on the other hand，that poetry is only words and good for nothing.That's not true either.It is easy to become frustrated by words in poetry or in life—but when words represent and recreate genuine human feelings, as they often do in poetry，they can be very important.Poetry is an experience of words，and those who know how to read poetry can easily extend their experience of life，their sense of what other people are like, their awareness of themselves, and their range of human feelings.
One reason poetry can be so important is that it is so closely concerned with feelings.Poetry is often full of ideas，too，and sometimes poems can be powerful experiences of the mind, but most poems are primarily about how people feel rather than how people think.Poems provide, in fact, a language for feeling, and one of poetry's most outstanding values involves its attempt to express the inexpressible.How can anyone, for example, put into words what it means to be in love or what it feels like to lose someone one cares about？Poetry tries, and it often captures exactly the shade of emotion that feels just right to a reader.No single poem can be said to express all the things that love or death feels like, or means, but one of the joys of experiencing poetry occurs when we read a poem and want to say, “Yes, that is just what it is like. I know exactly what that line means but I've never been able to express it so well.” Poetry can be the voice of our feelings even when our minds are speechless with grief or joy.
32．What does the underlined sentence “People seldom feel neutral about poetry.” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Many people think that poetry is neutral.
B．People always differ in their views about poetry.
C．People rarely take a biased opinion about poetry.
D．People generally think of poetry as extremely important or totally useless.
33．What does the author suggest according to the passage
A.Poetry often captures real human feelings.
B．Poetry makes its readers sentimental (感性的).
C.Poetry is more important than words.
D．Poetry tends to make the reader disappointed.
34．What do people usually express through poetry
A．What love and death mean.
B．What people think about themselves.
C．What people feel but find it hard to describe.
D．How people go through life.
35．What's the passage mainly about
A．The structure of poetry.
B．The nature and importance of poetry.
C．The components of poetry.
D．The appreciation of poetry.

Before starting an indoor garden, consider the budget you want for the garden. This will determine the containers and types of plants you can cultivate.

It was the last game of the season. Cali had been playing soccer all summer. She really enjoyed running around with the other players. As much as she tried, though, Cali still had not scored one single goal.
“Don't give up，” said her coach. He showed Cali and her team how to pass the ball to each other and take shots at the goal. Cali was pretty good at passing the ball, but even during practices, she couldn't kick the ball past the goalkeeper. She wondered if she should quit soccer for good.
“Don't give up，” said Uncle George and Aunt Lisa. But it was half time, and Cali was feeling upset. She was trying! Every time she got a chance to kick the ball, it would go in the wrong direction or a player from the other team would take control of it. Maybe she would try a different sport next summer.
The break was over and the referee (裁判) blew her whistle to start the game again. The two teams walked back onto the field, both determined to win. Cali heard her aunt whisper in her ear. “Look for an opportunity to get the ball. You can do it.” Cali took a deep breath. Even if she didn't get one goal all summer, she knew that she had tried her best. That was something to be proud of.
The yellow team was pretty good, but Cali's blue team was fast. Cali was off to the side when the ball headed her way. She ran over to it and kicked it. She watched it land right in front of a girl on the yellow team who expertly stopped it and sent it back in the other direction. Cali sighed (叹气) .
Cali decided she'd wait until the game was over and then she was going to hang up her soccer shoes for good. Cali started daydreaming about becoming a hip hop dancer instead. She was woken from her daydream by some music that was definitely not hip hop. It was the sweet, happy jingle of the ice cream truck.

【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。讲述了一个滑板场被建造在Rochester 的一个公路口，这个滑板场吸引了许多人，成为促进人们联系的桥梁。
4．答案与解析：A 词义猜测题。由文章第一段“Even though I'm no skater, I've always considered Rochester a perfect location for an outdoor skatepark. Being a place missing some pleasures in Chicago, Rochester fosters a do it yourself (DIY) attitude in the pursuit of having fun.”可知，虽然这地方缺少乐趣，但是滑板场却“鼓励”这种自己动手寻找乐趣的态度，所以猜测 foster在这里是“鼓励”的意思。
5．答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“So, after I noticed a skatepark being built under the highway entrance, I had a strong desire to know about it, not because I wanted to learn to skate, but because it is a perfect setting to develop the DIY charm of Rochester.”可知，作者第一次看到这个滑板场的时候，他感到好奇。
6．答案与解析：B 推理判断题。由文章第四段“He then pointed toward the other skaters...We communicate with each other through a notepad.”可知，许多人(包括Vazquez的好朋友)都来到这个滑板场玩，所以这个滑板场对Vazquez来说，意味着与他人联系的桥梁。
7．答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Soon after my conversation with Vazquez, I thought about our conversation. It felt as though the ground under my feet had a pulse. Even during a rainy day, life's heartbeat can be found at that park, pounding (怦怦地跳) to the rhythm of wheels rolling over concrete.”可知，此段主要表达了作者对于这个滑板场的赞美之情。
C

9．答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“her husband was promoted to Chief Factor of Montreal, which led to the couple occasionally joining voyageurs on their journeys”可知，丈夫的升职才使得弗朗西斯·安妮·霍普金斯加入船夫，与其一起水上航行。
10．答案与解析：B 段落大意题。通读第四段内容可知，该段主要是介绍她的作品。
11．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“By the time...the need for them was declining.”以及“However, one could argue that...before they could truly fade away.”可知，弗朗西斯·安妮·霍普金斯的主要贡献是通过艺术记录船夫的生活。

12．答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“These days we can often see students...do the same kind of exercises.”以及第二段中的“Students at a middle school...combine Sichuan Opera with their exercise.”可知，在学生们的早操内容基本相同的情况下，四川省绵阳市一所中学的早操将川剧与体操结合起来，使其与一般的早操不同。由此可推知，川剧体操是有创造性的。
13．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据第二段中申君华老师的话可知，现在很少有年轻人想学习川剧，所以学校请人创作出一套简单易学的川剧体操。由此可推知，组织川剧体操活动的目的是让学生们有机会了解川剧，重视川剧。
14．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“After practicing it, they found it very beautiful and became interested in it.”可知，经过练习，大多数学生对川剧体操产生了兴趣。

1．答案与解析：D 根据后文“Their channels are personal, and their videos are as much about them as anything else. Vloggers put themselves, or a version of themselves, out there for the world to see.”可知，此处是指视频博主不仅仅是创作内容，更是向世界展示一个版本的自己，所以选项D“视频博主不仅仅是内容创作者”切合文意。
2．答案与解析：A 根据后文“‘Make sure you have a niche (小众市场) or a community that you really take an interest in’ says vlogger James Kim, a physician assistant, ‘and expand outward from that.’”可知，此处是指有主题或关注点会很有帮助，故选A。

【语篇解读】 本文是夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自己的工作选择经历，反对人到了30岁必须要稳定下来这一理念，主张我们不要被30岁所限制，人生充满无限可能，我们要学会接受生活给予的所有机会和惊喜。
1．答案与解析：D 句意：30岁的人必须要稳定下来，这已成为不成文的规定。否则，他们可能会被认为是失败的。空前强调30岁的人必须有稳定工作，空后讲述他们是失败的人，所以空处表示“否则”符合题意。故答案为D。
2．答案与解析：A 此处的deadline指的是作者马上到30岁，再根据首段的不成文规定，到了30岁不稳定被认为是失败的人，再结合后文“I am still renting an apartment, and living alone”作者仍然租房子住，所以作者问自己应不应该“害怕”30岁的即将来临。
3．答案与解析：C 句意：这对大多数人来说似乎远不能令人满意，但对我来说却很不错。 连词“but”表明前后句意呈转折关系， but后是“nice”，空前的“far from”表示远非， far from satisfactory和nice构成转折。
4．答案与解析：B 根据后文“because I had been dreaming of writing stories for the __5__ since childhood”可知作者从小就梦想写故事，所以毕业后“立刻”成为了记者。前后构成因果关系。
5．答案与解析：A 句意：几年前我毕业了，马上就当上了记者，因为我从小就梦想着为公众写故事，我想我会永远坚持下去。 根据空前提示词“journalist”可知A选项符合题意。
6．答案与解析：C 句意：但随着时间的流逝，我意识到把自己局限在一条道路上是不明智的。 根据后文内容“I decide to start my another pursuit—studying law.”作者决定追求另一个领域：研究法律，由此推知，作者不想把自己“限制”到一条道路上。
7．答案与解析：B 根据后文提示“there is no single formula (公式)”可知，作者认为自己的选择不存在对与错，因为没有单一的公式去明确正确的选择是什么。
8．答案与解析：D 根据并列连词“and”和提示词“happiness”，选项D符合题意，同时也呼应首段的“failure”。
9．答案与解析：C 句意：我们的生活充满了无限的可能性。根据前文内容“there is no single formula (公式)”可知C选项符合题意，表示“无限的”可能性。
10．答案与解析：A 句意：虽然我非常热爱我现在的职业，但我也一直对成为一名律师很感兴趣。 根据前文内容“I decide to start my another pursuit—studying law”可知A选项符合题意，虽然喜欢目前作为一名记者的工作，但也对“律师”感兴趣。
11．答案与解析：D 句意：那么，为什么仅仅因为我已经30岁了，我就要一直坚持一个梦想呢？ 由前文语义可知，作者强调人生有多种可能性，不想把自己局限在某一条道路上，所以作者不想去一直“坚持”某一个梦想仅仅是因为30岁到了要追求稳定。
12．答案与解析：B 根据空前内容“do whatever you like”和空后内容“The most important part is that you are just being yourself”可推知B选项符合题意，作者强调做自己，不要去在乎别人的“评价”。
13．答案与解析：D 句意：最重要的是，你只是做你自己，并享受它。 空后宾语it指代前文的“being yourself”，所以是“享受”做自己。
14．答案与解析：A 句意：不要为你的年龄感到焦虑，试着接受生活抛给你的所有机会和惊喜。根据空前“Turning 30 is just like any other birthday.”和前文语义可知，作者认为30岁只是一个生日而已，并不代表任何截止点，由此推之A选项符合题意，表示不要对自己的年龄感到“焦虑”。
15．答案与解析：B 句意：不要为你的年龄感到焦虑，试着接受生活抛给你的所有机会和惊喜。 并列词“and”表明前后句意相同或相近，前文强调不要被30岁所限制，所以是要“接受”所有的机会和惊喜。

【语篇解读】 拉克希米负责一个改善印度人饮食营养的项目，她没有照搬西方人的建议，而是调整了她的营养计划，来适应印度人的实际情况。经过不断的努力，她的做法逐步被人们接受并被认为是正确的。
4．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But Lakshmi knew this advice was useless...too expensive.”可知，欧洲营养学家的建议在当时的印度是不合实际的。

6．答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“For example, she insisted that a diet without meat could provide all major nutrients. Now we know she was right.”可知，拉克希米经过研究发现，不含肉的饮食也能提供所有主要的营养。当时这个观点不为人所接受，但现在证明她是正确的。
7．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But it took her continuous efforts to get others to finally accept her diet about 50 years ago.”可知，拉克希米是一个意志坚定的人。

【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍最新研究发现，蜜蜂在寻找食物时，不单是靠颜色，而且严重依赖花朵的图案来寻找花朵。
8．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A team led by the University of Exeter tested bee behaviour and built bee's eye view simulations (模拟装置) to work out how they see flowers.”可知，新的研究专注蜜蜂看花、找花的方式。
9．答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第五段中Hempel的话“Our findings suggest that flowers don't need to evolve too many different flower colours, because they can use patterns to vary their displays so bees can tell them apart from other flowers.”可知，亨佩尔认为花朵并不是必须进化出更多颜色。
10．答案与解析：D 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Our findings suggest that flowers don't need to evolve too many different flower colours, because they can use patterns to vary their displays so bees can tell them apart from other flowers.”可知，研究发现蜜蜂通过图案来找到花朵。第六段“One typical feature identified in the study is that the outside edges of flowers usually contrast strongly with the plant's leaves while the centre of the flower does not have such a strong contrast with the leaf colour. This could help bees quickly identify colour differences and find their way to flowers.”主要说明了花是如何通过颜色对比来形成图案，以便于蜜蜂识别并找到它们的，所以第六段是支持研究结论的证据。
11．答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第五段中Hempel的话“We studied a large amount of data on plants and bee behaviour，”可知，对于蜜蜂的研究，Hempel强调了研究的数据。
D

13．答案与解析：C 词义猜测题。根据第三段“One fact is of teachers and college professors: they live longer than the rest of the population. The reason is that they engage in research most of their lives for teaching or publishing, which increases their life span and most importantly also retards their aging process.”可知，教师和教授比其他人活得更长，教学和出版的研究延长了他们的寿命，由此可知，这些活动也减缓了他们的衰老过程。即画线部分意为 “减缓”，与slows down同义。
14．答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Educated people get routinely involved in social networks; they get access to information because of their ability to understand information. They can easily navigate the health care system; they have more social support.”可知，受过高等教育的人的优势是他们与社会联系更紧密。
15．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Reading helps us understand how other people think and feel. Reading improves our emotional intelligence.”和“Research has shown that reading changes certain areas of the brain and causes certain other parts to be active.”可知，阅读有利于人们的情商和大脑健康。

9．答案与解析：D 上文提到Pala思考如何提高人们对无家可归问题的认识，再结合下文可知， Kids4Community是一家帮助无家可归者的非营利组织，由此可推断此处表示解决办法是Kids4Community对应上文的问题。
10．答案与解析：C 结合语境和最后一段的 “involve more kids in charity”可知， Kids4Community会开展一些专门让孩子们加入的慈善项目。
11．答案与解析：C 句意：两年多来， Kids4Community见证了一系列帮助无家可归者的举措的启动，并筹集了超过五十万美元。 结合语境以及空后的“the launch of a series of initiatives to help the homeless and raised over half a million dollars.”可知，此处阐述的是自打成立Kids4Community两年以来的发展情况。
12．答案与解析：B 句意：虽然管理非营利组织占据Pala大部分时间，但他确保留出时间继续跑步。下文提到“he makes sure of setting aside time to keep running”，即Pala会抽出时间跑步，结合常识和下文可知，此处表示管理Kids4Community占据了Pala大部分时间。
13．答案与解析：A 上文提到虽然Pala忙于管理Kids4Community，他仍然坚持抽出时间跑步以及下文提到Kids4Community组织了一场5公里赛跑以帮助一个房屋建造项目，筹集了10 000美元可知，此处表示Pala把两者兼顾得很好。
14．答案与解析：D 下文提到Pala正致力于举办一场10公里赛跑，并帮助整个州的无家可归者以及让更多孩子参与到慈善事业中来可知，此处表示Pala对自己的目标很明确。
15．答案与解析：B 上文提到 “homelessness in the city” ，“Kids4Community以及a local nonprofit”，表明Kids4Community是一个圣地亚哥这个城市的当地组织，结合下文的“help the homeless across the whole state and involve more kids in charity”可知， Pala想要扩大Kids4Community的规模来帮助整个州的无家可归者，并让更多孩子参与到慈善事业中来。

12．答案与解析：B 句意：通过与人分享一本书，我相信我们最终与他们分享了我们灵魂的一部分。“share sth. with sb.”，“和某人分享某物”。
13．答案与解析：A 根据前文“There is something intimate about exchanging books with strangers.”可知，作者觉得和陌生人交换书让他有种亲密感，那么更不用和“失联”已久的朋友了。
14．答案与解析：C 句意：在社交媒体上发布关于图书交换的消息让我和许多老朋友更亲近了，在新冠肺炎毁掉我们的计划之前，我们都因为繁忙的日程安排而失去了联系。 分析语境可知，这里的“schedules”应是指大家繁忙的工作日程。

Since it first opened after four years of construction in 1937 at a cost of $27 million，the Golden Gate Bridge has made its appearance in films and poetry.
CNN Travel spent a day climbing into and ground the bridge，learning these secrets from the people who know and love it best.
Why is it called the Golden Gate Bridge It's not golden.
“The Golden Gate Bridge gets its name because it spans what is called the Golden Gate Strait，”said Paolo Cosulich Schwartz，spokesman for the Golden Gate Bridge，Highway and Transportation District，which operates the bridge. It's a three mile long and one mile wide body of water that connects the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay.
What color is the bridge It looks red.
“It's not red，although you're not crazy to think so. Visitors all call it red，”said Russell. “Back in the day，the US Navy，then part of the War Department，oversaw the waterways and wanted to paint this bridge black and yellow for high visibility，”said fellow painter Jarrod Bauer. “They ended up mixing paint to create the color International Orange，which is similar to the color of red lead，”he said.
Does the bridge get entirely painted every year
No，and it doesn't need to be. It's true that the top coat has been fully repainted over time with new and environmentally improved International Orange top coats.
Who performs bridge rescues
McVeigh and his fellow ironworkers，the so called “Cowboys of the Sky”，have that responsibility. McVeigh has lost count of how many troubled souls he's been called to rescue over the past 17 years.
In September in 2018，the bridge started constructing a suicide(自杀)prevention system，also known as the safety net，to keep people from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. It's expected to be completed in 2021.
21．What's the true color of the Golden Gate Bridge
A．Red. B．Red lead.
C．Black and yellow. D．International Orange.
22．Who can probably be called a hero on the Golden Gate Bridge
A．McVeigh. B．Jarrod Bauer. C．Russell. D．Paolo.
23．What can we know about the Golden Gate Bridge
A．It is safer now because of the safety net. B．It got its name because of its color.
C．It took much time and money to be built. D．It needs to be repainted once a year.
B
Both of my parents worked full time when I was a little girl，so my grandmother would stay at our house during the day. We would watch game shows in the living room. Our favorite was The Price Is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants.
When I got older and started going to school，we couldn't watch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me，though，because the one thing I liked better than watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake cakes. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing：she never seemed to need the recipes(食谱)but everything she made tasted delicious.
At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch，even though I didn't understand what she was doing. As I got older，she let me help with the easy parts，such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs，I felt like I had found complete pleasure.
At last，my parents decided that I could take care of myself，and my grandmother stopped coming over every day. The love of baking，however，stayed with me. I started baking by myself，and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes，more often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes，and whenever I got to a thorny part，I would call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk too. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.
My grandmother passed away ten years ago，but I still think of her every day. Last week，I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies，cookies，and my favorite，lemon pie. As I looked through the pages，I thought I could hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just about baking，but about life.
24．The passage is mainly developed by________．
A．analyzing causes B．making comparisons
C．following the time order D．examining differences
25．While helping her grandmother bake，the author________．

C．hoped to make a living by baking D．regretted missing the game shows
26．What does the underlined word “thorny” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A．Basic. B．Common. C．Special. D．Difficult.
27．What's the author's purpose in writing this passage
A．To describe her childhood memories. B．To show her good baking skills.
C．To remember her grandmother. D．To talk about her happy family life.

In 1914，Emest Shackleton and his team left England in a wooden sailing ship called the Endurance, hoping to become the first to cross Antarctica.
But in 1915, the Endurance became trapped over the Weddell Sea. The ice destroyed the Endurance and later sank it. Shackleton and all of his men abandoned the ship and managed to stay alive. Although they failed to complete the expedition, the tale of their long and difficult return is one of the most famous survival stories of all time.
Much was known about the location of the Endurance. The ship's captain kept accurate records of the ship's position. The ship's photographer even took pictures of it as it went down. But the ship, deep in the icy waters near Antarctica, had never been found.
Now, a search team called “Endurance 22” located the ship, which was found 1.87 miles below the ocean's surface, about four miles south of its last known position. The team reports that the ship is in excellent shape. Even though the ship is made of wood and is over 100 years old, it has survived with little damage. Scientists say that the small worms that normally break down wooden objects underwater don't live in the cold waters around Antarctica.
The Endurance 22 is led by the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust. The team ran the project from an ice breaking ship. To locate the Endurance, the team used two underwater robots called Sabertooths which can travel by themselves deep under the sea. What makes them unique is that they can travel under the ice and go where the ship can not. Once the ship was located, the Sabertooths used high quality cameras and scanners to record the Endurance in detail.
The Endurance 22 plans to create a digital 3D model of the wreck site, using the careful scans they made. This will allow scientists to study the ship in detail without disturbing it.
28．What can we know about Shackleton
A．He built the Endurance by himself. B．He was also a famous photographer.
C．He had a tough journey back home. D．He crossed Antarctica by the Endurance.
29．What helped preserve “the Endurance” well
A．Fine weather. B．Cold water. C．Wood material. D．Unique structure.
30．What is special about the Sabertooths
A．They can repair the ship. B．They can travel under the ice.
C．They can break ice on the sea. D．They can take pictures in detail.
31．How will the scientists deal with the discovered Endurance
A．They will let it remain untouched.
B．They will rebuild it using 3D technology.
C．They will use scanners to record its details.
D．They will do research on creating a model.

Today, many people spend a lot of time reading online. Whether reading news or e books, people are spending more time eyeballing screens.
While online reading opens up a vast amount of knowledge to people, there are some drawbacks, too. This includes eyestrain, headaches as well as difficulty in focusing on the text. Now a new reading system has been intended to help people overcome these issues and read faster online.
A reading system called Bionic Reading, which was developed by Swiss designer Renato Cassutt, was constructed with the belief that your brain can read faster than your eyes. The system involves showing the first few letters of each word in bold (以粗体显示) which actually allows your eyes to skip over parts of the text while your brain fills in what is missing. It is incredible how reading this feels like finally unlocking 100 percent of people's brain.
Cassutt came up with the system by accident. He was working on designing a book in a foreign language and realized he could read it if he sectioned it off. He worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and is still working to perfect it.
Many people who want to strengthen their reading ability show interest in it, but more research is needed before it can be finally shown that the system improves reading. But people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (注意缺陷多动障碍) and dyslexia (阅读障碍) have confirmed that Bionic Reading can help them focus on and comprehend what they are reading.
Cassutt's goal is to combine the system with all apps and online services. “In a digital world dominated (支配) by shallow forms of reading, Bionic Reading aims to encourage a more in—depth reading and understanding of written content，” he said. The Bionic Reader is available in the following apps, Reeder 5, Fiery Feeds, Lire, and Next App. The best way to know if it helps you read better online is to try it yourself and find out what it is all about.
32．What is Bionic Reading designed to do
A．Encourage more ways of obtaining knowledge.
B．Urge people to spend more time eyeballing screens.
C．Support struggling readers with comprehension skills.
D．Improve online reading by highlighting parts of the words.
33．Who is reported to have benefited from the reading system
A．Those with a hobby of reading. B．Those with reading disabilities.
C．Those who work for the system. D．Those who are addicted to e books.
34．Which of the following is recommended in the text

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。
I always wonder how people will react if I want a total stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a crowded station. I personally have always hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place or when I am rushing around.
Yesterday I was stuck in such a hopeless situation where my only hope of help would have to come from a total stranger.
I was in a busy shopping mall (中心) buying a large piece of luggage. After the purchase in one of the large, fancy, expensive shops, I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant who had just sold me the luggage, which was not cheap at all, if she could help me telephone my driver. She replied, still all smiles, “I'm sorry, Sir, but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”
As I was wondering what kind of policy that was, I saw a nice looking teenage boy coming toward me. Remembering my wife's interesting theory (理论) that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you're in trouble, I thought I might have a chance. But before I could say a word, he walked past me. It turned out he simply didn't see me.
I waited a bit longer in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me. Disappointed and tired, I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front. I stood there with people rushing by, looking at their faces to see if there was a sign of kindness on their face. I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.

A
[2023·河北省邢台市高二上学期检测]Chen Xingrong, 16, was born with autism (自闭症). “We did not understand why such a thing would happen to us，” says Chen's father Chen Xunhu. He quit his job at a computer company and devoted his full attention to helping his son. In 2012, Chen Xunhu learned that swimming could help people with autism improve their articulation (发音) and physical growth, so he spent months teaching his son to swim.
“The efforts made no difference in the first three months，” he recalls. To his surprise, after another three months, he discovered that his son had developed the ability to control his breath under water, which significantly boosted his confidence. “I used to plan all his exercises for him, but now it is all up to him，” says the father. “He decides how many exercises he wants to do, and we respect his choices.” In spite of all the hardships in life, Chen Xingrong managed to become an outstanding swimmer, thanks to constant training and the support of his parents. Last year, he won five medals, including a gold, at the 11th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the eighth National Special Olympic Games.
In 2010, an autism themed film, titled Ocean Heaven, hit the big screen in China. It describes how a dying father attempts to teach his son the necessary life skills to live without him. “My wife and I watched the film in the theater，” he says. “We wept uncontrollably because we could resonate with the film's characters.”
Since then, as well as swimming, helping his son learn basic life skills is also an important aim for the father. Thanks to his efforts, Chen Xingrong has learned to buy food in the market in their neighborhood. He also does voluntary jobs at supermarkets and fast food restaurants, such as arranging shelves and cleaning dining tables.
“He is part of the community, and I hope he will live a normal life in the future. There is nothing that we want more than that，” says Chen Xunhu.

A．His father's professional instruction.
B．His determination and his parents' love.
C．His physical disability and hardship in life.
D．His own special gift for swimming.
3．What does the underlined word “resonate” in Paragraph 3 mean

September 14, 2021, marks the 700th anniversary (周年纪念日) of poet Dante Alighieri's death.A year long celebration, Viva Dante, began in Italy in September 2020, with events from public readings to discussions to exhibits in his honor—and still many more in the works.
Dante was born in Florence in 1265.His mother died only a few years after his birth；his father remarried and had two more children.As a teenager, he was a pupil of poet Brunetto Latini. In 1301, being a leader of the losing political party (the White Guelphs), he was exiled (流放) from his hometown. Dante never returned.He travelled for a few years through many cities before settling down in Ravenna, in northern Italy, for the latter part of his life.
Dante authored The Divine Comedy, an epic poem (史诗) that contains three parts and follows Dante's journey after death and beyond.It was during his travels while he was exiled and his life in Ravenna that Dante wrote the poem；he started it in 1308 and finished it in 1321, the year he died.
“He is the father of the Italian language.”says Dante expert Claudia Sebastiana Nobili.“In his poem, he used many words for the first time, translating them from Latin or borrowing them from other European languages, thus creating a very rich language.”
According to Guy Raffa, a writer, writing in Italian allowed Dante's work to be read by even more people.“Only the very elite (社会精英) could understand Latin, ”Raffa says.“So he chose to become more open.”
Viva Dante has offered daily readings from The Divine Comedy outside Dante's tomb in Ravenna; a special exhibit called“The Eyes and the Mind”at Ravenna's Classense Library about Dante's time when he was sent away from his state; a theatrical guided tour of Ravenna called “Silent Play for Dante”；and an exhibit called “A Pop Epic” at the Ravenna Museum of Art about Dante's influence on modern pop culture.And on May 19, the Smithsonian Associates hosted “Dante Without Footnotes”， a discussion about his works.
5．What can we learn about Dante
A．He taught himself poetry as a teen.
B．He bravely fought against the White Guelphs.
C.He spent 20 years writing The Divine Comedy.
D.He was forced to leave his hometown for political reasons.
6．Why did Dante write The Divine Comedy in Italian according to Guy Raffa
A．To encourage Italian usage in Europe.
B．To make it easier to understand.
C．To express his dislike for the elite.
D．To stay out of political trouble.
7．Which of the following features Dante in exile
A．A Pop Epic.
B．Silent Play for Dante.
C．The Eyes and the Mind.
D．Dante Without Footnotes.
8．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To introduce a new book about Dante.
B．To describe Dante's hard life in Ravenna.
C．To report Italy's big celebration Viva Dante.
D.To encourage people to read The Divine Comedy.

How to Be a More Responsible Person
Responsibility doesn't come at birth. It is something that is acquired as you age, go to school and progress in life. However, you can hear and see a lot of different things, both good and bad. __1__ That's why your sense of responsibility depends only on you. All of it depends on your own decision. Here are a few tips on how to improve your sense of responsibility.
__2__ If you make a mistake, admit it. Instead of making excuses, give the true reason why you failed. By coming up with an excuse, you actually admit to being irresponsible.
Stop plainers are usually those who talk too much and do nothing. By always complaining about the world around you, you actually fill yourself with negativity. __3__ Therefore, stop complaining!
Overcome postponement. The first step to success is to stop putting things off. Postponement will lead you nowhere. You're responsible for your own future, so stop delaying now and start taking action on what truly matters. __4__
Be consistent and stick to your schedule. Having a routine is good. __5__ Try to wake up at the same time every day. Even on weekends, you could get up earlier instead of staying in bed until noon. This will give you some consistency. Plus, getting up early allows you to have more time for whatever you have to finish that day. Additionally, you should set a schedule for your work and personal tasks, and stick to it.

B．Stop making excuses for yourself.

Living in a smaller, more energy efficient home is one of many possible steps that one can take toward a more sustainable lifestyle. One might also choose to compost (制作堆肥), grow one's own food, collect rainwater, or use alternative sources of energy or transportation.Green living's author and anti food waste activist Rob Greenfield—best known for his 4，700 mile bicycle journey to raise awareness about food waste across the United States—is a great example of someone who transitioned (转变) from living an ordinary consumerist lifestyle, to one that he now hopes has a lighter impact on the planet.
We last saw Rob in his self built $950 tiny house in San Diego, he's now moved on to yet another tiny home in Orlando, Florida that he's built himself using mostly recycled materials. Everything here cost Rob only $1，500 in total to set up.
Currently, Rob is working on a long term project where he's experimenting with growing 100 percent of his food. Thus, though there are a couple of shelves dedicated to personal effects like books and clothing, most of Rob's shelves are dedicated to storing seeds, preserves and things like fire cider and honey wine. Rob also keeps bees and makes his own honey!
Unlike his previous off grid (离网的) home in San Diego, Rob chose to use an extension cord (延长线) that connects back to the main house for electricity. Rob's outdoor kitchen is simple too, but has been well considered: for cooking, he uses a solar oven, plus a home biogas (沼气) cooking system. There's a compost bin (堆肥箱) nearby where he throws any waste.
Such a simple lifestyle might not be for everyone, but Rob's aim is to inspire, to lead by example and show that small, personal choices toward sustainability are indeed achievable.
1．What is Rob famous for
A．Growing his own food.
B．Living in a self built house.
C．Fighting against food waste.
D．Taking a cross country trip on foot.
2．What is Rob's house in Orlando like
A．It is off grid.
B．It is large and splendid.
C．It is much too expensive.
D．It is made of recycled materials.
3．Which of the following can best describe Rob's lifestyle
A．Green. B．Modern.
C．Unhealthy. D．Fast paced.
4．Why does Rob lead such a lifestyle
A．To get close to nature.
B．To recover from an illness.
C．To collect enough money for his project.
D．To raise people's environmental awareness.

[2023·山东省青岛地区高二上期中]In March, the water between Canada and Greenland, called Baffin Bay, is covered with sea ice. Scientists in a helicopter fly over, searching for narwhals (独角鲸). The narwhal is one of the most mysterious whale species on Earth. Each male sports a single tusk (长牙) 6 to 10 feet long. Narwhals are the only whales with tusks. They feed on fish, squid and shrimp. By staying under the ice, they avoid killer whales and other predators.
The helicopter lands on the frozen ocean, and Dr. Jens Koblitz climbs out. He studies animal sounds at the BioAcoustics Network. And he works with Dr. Kristin Laidre, a biologist who studies mammals that live in the Arctic.
Dr.Koblitz lowers a weighted line into the icy water. Attached to the line are 16 underwater microphones strung together, about a yard apart. Each sound from a narwhal hits each microphone at a slightly different time. When Dr. Koblitz records, he captures information about how the whales dive and rise as they hunt for food.
“The windchill is minus 5 to minus 22 degrees Fahrenheit. I have to quickly get everything back inside the helicopter so my equipment isn't destroyed by the cold and ice，” he says.
Narwhals use echolocation. The whales buzz, click, and creak. When that sound wave hits an object, like a fish, it bounces back, producing an echo. They use sonar to find holes in the ice and prey in the dark.
But as the average global temperature increases, the Arctic ice is shrinking. The narwhal will face a severe threat as the ice melts. For centuries, sea ice has blocked most ships from the Arctic Ocean. But scientists predict the ocean will be ice free in a few decades. Then ships will roam the narwhals habitats. The noise of the ships may drown out the whales' clicks.
Dr.Laidre says, “If we understand what sounds they use, we can better understand how human impacts.” That understanding can show humans how to help narwhals survive.
5．What is special about narwhals
A．They are the largest whales.
B．They live on sea creatures.
C．Male whales have tusks.
D．They prefer living in warm waters.
6．What does Dr. Koblitz do in Baffin Bay
A．Study mammals in the Arctic.
B．Record narwhal sounds.
C．Track climate changes.
D．Learn how narwhals hunt for food.
7．Which of the following best describes Dr. Koblitz's work
A．Challenging. B．Boring.
C．Well paid. D．Relaxing.
8．What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about
A．The effects of global warming on narwhals.
B．The current situation of narwhals.
C．Scientists' research on the ocean.
D．Human activities in the Arctic.

[2023·山东省潍坊市高二期中]In movies and books, people often describe a decisive moment when they figure out who they are. However, I never thought it actually happened in real life. I never expected to have a “moment” of my own. When it arrived, mine was much more powerful than I could have ever imagined.
During the spring of my junior year, my class watched a documentary called “The Invisible Children.” It was about three college students who take a trip to Africa and document their experience. At first the film was slightly humorous. However, once the group arrived in northern Uganda, the mood changed. They learned what the consequences of a 23 year war had been for thousands of children. Some had lost family and friends, others were caught by the opposing force and became child soldiers.
Before long, I was sobbing. I couldn't believe these things were happening, yet at the same time I knew they were. I just hadn't been paying attention, for in the past 17 years, I was blessedly protected. When the movie ended, I couldn't get it out of my head. For the next week, I was not myself. Every bite of food I took I thought of Grace, the 15 year old who had little to eat. When I went to bed, I pictured Sunday, the 14 year old boy sleeping on a straw mat on the ground in a camp. My whole world shifted.
Since that day, I haven't been able to picture my future in a way that doesn't involve going to Africa and doing what I can to help. Ultimately, this is why I decided to major in engineering. With an engineering degree, my potential for change will be limitless. I will build wells and schools, and design irrigation systems. Engineering is tough, but I know—in what Yeats called “my deep heart's call”—that this is what I'm supposed to do with my life.
1．How did the author think of a decisive moment at first
A．It was impossible.
B．It was unforgettable.
C．It was common.
D．It was powerful.
2．How does the movie influence the author
A．It amused him.
B．It changed his perspectives of life.
C．It made him unsure of himself.
D．It made him lose the desire to eat or sleep.
3．Why does the author choose to study engineering
A．To achieve his goal.
B．To be well acknowledged.
C．To challenge himself.
D．To realize his childhood dream.
4．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A．Celebrity. B．Health.
C．Education. D．Science.

In Wang Jinsong's childhood, shadow puppetry (皮影戏), a theatrical performance that uses the shadow of puppets (木偶) cast onto a screen, was a form of children's entertainment. Wang referred to the folk art as “magic”， not because of the performers' techniques, but because of the happiness the art used to bring to the village in the old days. Dating back to 2，000 years, shadow puppetry combines painting, carving, opera, literature and music. Today, it still provides a lot of inspiration for Chinese cartoons, captivating generations of audiences.
At the same time, different schools appeared in different places，such as Shanxi Province, Beijing and Hebei Province. Tangshan shadow play belongs to the Hebei branch. Going through ups and downs in the last 400 years, it has developed into an established school. “It has had a great impact on the development of many shadow puppetry schools in North China，” Wang said.
In Tangshan shadow puppetry, artists handle their puppets on strings behind the screen while one artist tells a story through song, at times improvising (即兴表演) as they go along. “The song's scripts are the most difficult part to inherit，” Wang said. In the past, students could only learn them by carefully taking in their teacher's performance. Due to low income and extensive training, young people today were less willing to study shadow play.
Fortunately, its development has gained attention. In 2016, shadow play was included on the national cultural heritage list. It's been introduced in schools as part of local culture, and has gained many more young fans this way. According to Wang, the Tangshan Shadow Puppetry Troupe has been receiving more government support and provides viewers with more innovative and high quality performances.
In 2019, Tangshan built a park themed on this art where visitors can learn more about the culture and history of shadow puppetry. “We hope to revive (复活) the ancient art in a modern and fun way，” Li Shaohui, manager of the park told Xinhua News Agency.
5．Why did Wang refer to the folk art as magic
A．Because shadow puppetry itself is a magic.
B．Because the performers have good techniques.
C．Because the art brought people enjoyment.
D．Because the performers are good at painting.
6．What is the attitude towards the future of shadow puppetry according to Wang Jinsong
A．Objective. B．Indifferent.
C．Depressed. D．Optimistic.
7．Which statement about Tangshan shadow play is NOT true
A．It is part of the Hebei branch.
B．It is popular with more young people.
C．It has a history of 400 years as a school.
D．It has influenced many shadow puppetry schools.
8．What's the main idea of the text
A．Chinese shadow puppetry is in danger at present.
B．It's about the origin of China's art of shadow puppetry.
C．Tangshan shadow puppetry went through many ups and downs.
D．It introduces the development of China's art of shadow puppetry.

Brianna was just 12 years old when her mother became severely ill, allowing her to know what it was like to care for someone else. Although many members of her family were nurses, taking care of her mom was what influenced her the most and helped her decide to become a nurse.
After she didn't get into UW Eau Claire's nursing program the first two times she applied, Brianna began exploring potential careers. She took several business classes, but quickly realized that business wasn't the right fit for her and her real passion was in nursing. She applied to nursing again, and finally started the nursing program in the fall of 2019.
She was just months into her first semester as a nursing major when she hit the next bump in the road.

Eventually, breathing became so difficult that she had to go to the emergency room therefore, Brianna could not attend classes the rest of the fall 2019 semester, focusing instead on regaining her mental and physical health.
While Brianna was still in hospital, she already had connected with fellow nursing majors as well as professors, who worked closely with her to make sure she stayed on course. Those connections made all the difference when she was trying to stay on track to graduation despite her illness.
In the spring, COVID 19 added additional obstacles (障碍) to her college journey, forcing her to find new ways to manage her time and keep herself motivated. What's worse, she also was laid off from her part time job when stores closed, making it more difficult to pay for college.
Despite all those obstacles, Brianna is on track to graduate with her nursing classmates in December the next year and already is planning for what comes after she earns her bachelor's degree in nursing.
4．What inspired Brianna to be a nurse
A．Her interest in caring for others.

Everybody, at some point in their lives, has experienced failure. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makes you is not your failure, but how you get back up after being hit.
Once, a young school boy was caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would be lame throughout his life.
But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement of the doctor, he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was unshakable. At home, when he was not in bed, he had to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He reached the fence, raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence, firmly determined. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk unaided. With his iron determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and then to run.
He began to walk to school, and then run to school, to run for the joy of running. Later in college he was on the track team.
In February 1934, in New York City's Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run—this determined young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world's fastest mile.
A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in oneself, Glenn Cunningham continues to be an inspiration for many, and his story, a brilliant evidence to how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are piled against one, to the degree that death seemed the preferable option.
8．What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A．To present an argument.
B．To make preparations for statement.
C．To arouse readers' interest.
D．To function as a brief introduction.
9．What was the doctor's opinion about Glenn
A．Glenn was able to walk with his own great effort.
B．Great determination could make a difference to Glenn.
C．There was a slim chance that Glenn could survive.
D．Glenn could live a normal life with the upper half of his body.
10．What do we know about Glenn
A．Glenn took recovery exercise in hospital.
B．Glenn inspired people with his moving story.
C．Glenn won the first place in Marathon.
D．Glenn organized a track team in college.

[2023·山东省实验中学高二检测]Feeling a bit bored It could be just what you need to produce your best ideas, excite your creativity or simply give your brain a rest.
Nowadays, in the age of round the clock entertainment, it's (technically) trickier to be bored. If the show you're watching has lost its spark, you can easily amuse yourself on social media without even leaving the sofa. But that's not necessarily a good thing. Feeling disengaged from the task in hand, or a lack of stimulation(刺激), does have its benefits, according to researchers at the University of Central Lancashire.
Being bored motivates you to search out something less boring to do. For example, if you decide there's nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and take up a new hobby. This, according to researchers, can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a surge (激增) in creativity among people stuck at home from banana bread making to picking up a paintbrush for the first time since childhood.
But what about those times when you have no choice but to stick with the boring situation, waiting for a bus, for instance The good news is that the boredom you're feeling now could spark your creativity later, says a 2019 study published in the Academy of Management Discoveries journal. People who'd taken part in a bean sorting task later performed better at coming up with creative ideas than another group who'd been given something more interesting to do first.
Ultimately, don't take it for granted that there'll always be something close at hand to entertain us. With boredom, we will not run the risk of becoming boring ourselves.
12．What does the author imply in Paragraph 2
A．Wondering mind can be healthy.
B．Social media can surely entertain us.
C．Being bored may be something good.
D．Being involved in the task is beneficial.
13．Why was the surge in creativity seen recently
A．People were stimulated by boredom.
B．People were better equipped at home.
C．People had more hobbies to choose from.
D．People were more concerned about mental being.
14．What is the purpose of the bean sorting task in the 2019 study
A．To create a boring situation.
B．To reduce people's boredom.
C．To make a funny performance.
D．To show an entertainment at hand.
15．What is the best title of the passage
A．What is the point of creativity
B．Are we more easily bored nowadays
C．How can we deal with daily boredom
D．Does boredom make us more creative

Breakfast may just be the most important meal of the day, but finding time to search for something to eat in the morning can be a real challenge. In fact, you may skip the trouble altogether, especially if you're trying to limit your daily calorie intake. However, the result may be worrying, in more ways than one.
Claire Anspach, RD, explained that eating a balanced breakfast not only starts your metabolism (新陈代谢), but also provides calories your body needs in order to be focused and productive. So, how many calories should you eat each morning It depends on a number of factors (因素), including your age and activity level. “As for breakfast, it's hard to say exactly how much one person should eat, but on average, a well balanced meal should be around 400 to 500 calories，” Anspach said, adding that breakfast is typically one of the biggest meals of the day.
Aminta Bullard, a registered dietitian (营养师) and weight loss coach, said something similar like that “calories are not one size fits all”. Bullard noted that people who exercise in the morning may need to add 300 calories to their pre or post workout breakfast to help fuel the body. The same can be said for professional athletes, as well as those who have jobs that require a lot of walking, standing, or other forms of movement.
Whatever your calorie requirements, Bullard recommends choosing a breakfast that contains protein (蛋白质) and fiber. “High protein and high fiber keep you energized and satisfied，” Bullard said. That's opposed to foods that are high in sugar, like donuts, which she said can leave you “feeling sluggish” and cause you to reach for a snack. So, if you find that you're always desiring a second breakfast, you might want to reevaluate what you're eating for the first.
1．What's the author's attitude to skipping breakfast
A．Supportive. B．Opposed.
C．Casual. D．Unclear.
2．Which of the following may Anspach and Bullard both agree with
A．One should eat as many calories as possible.
B．Age is the decisive factor for the intake of calories.
C．Different people have different demands for calories.
D．The more active one is, the more food should be eaten.
3．How are Paragraphs 2 and 3 developed
A．By listing data.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By analyzing cause and effect.
D．By offering experts' opinions.
4．What does the underlined word “sluggish” in the last paragraph mean
A．Unenergetic. B．Comfortable.
C．Unhappy. D．Sick.

[2023·山东省高二上联考]Social media use has been linked to depression, especially in teenage girls. But a new study argues that the issue may be more complex than experts think.
The research involved interviews with 10，000 teenagers in England. “Our results suggest social media itself doesn't cause harm, but that frequent use may disrupt activities that positively impact mental health such as sleeping and exercising, while increasing exposure of young people to harmful content, particularly cyberbullying (网络欺凌)，” study co author Russell Viner said in a statement.
Bob Patton, a lecturer of the University of Surrey, said this means strategies focusing only on reducing social media use to improve mental health might not help. He said, “Building strategies to increase resilience (适应力) to cyberbullying and promote better sleep and exercise is needed to reduce psychological (心理的) harm.”
The research was conducted by interviewing teenagers once a year. They would report the frequency of their using social media. More than three times daily was considered “very frequent”. The researchers noted that they did not capture how much time the participants spent on these websites, which was a limitation of the study. “For boys, the impact on their mental health may result from other reasons，” the authors said.
The researchers found that, in both sexes, very frequent social media use was associated with greater psychological harm. The effect was especially clear among girls: The more often they checked social media, the greater their psychological harm was.
But most impact on psychological harm in girls could be accounted for by lower sleep quality and greater exposure to cyberbullying, with decreased physical activities playing a lesser role. But for boys, those factors explained only 12% of the effects of very frequent social media use on psychological harm.
“It's an important distinction，” said Ann DeSmet, a professor at Ghent University in Belgium. “If healthy lifestyles can be replaced, the positive effects of social media use, such as encouraging social interactions, can be more supported.”
5．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．The risk of cyberbullying.
B．The report of the statement.
C．The findings of the research.
D．The functions of social media.
6．What did Bob Patton mainly tell us
A．The need to fight against mental harm.
B．The proper way to improve mental health.
C．The benefit of limiting social media use.
D．The impact of social media use on people.
7．What can we know about the research
A．It had shortcomings.
B．It needed more attention.
C．It was the first in its class.
D．It was difficult to carry out.
8．Which of the following may be the best title for the text
A．The research on teenage girls
B．The harm of using social media
C．Social interactions are encouraged

[2023·辽宁省沈阳市高二上联考]The climate change in California has caused terrible damage to California's marine ecosystems. Untold billions of sea stars, or starfish, from at least 20 species disappeared from the entire Pacific coast because of the marine heatwaves. In the absence of sunflower sea stars, a major predator for sea urchins (海胆), the urchin populations exploded. They laid waste to kelp forests (海草林) already weakened by high ocean temperatures.
However, Central California's kelp ecosystems have done somewhat better than those in Northern California. A new study led by Joshua Smith, an ecologist at the University of California, examines the role sea otter (海獭) population—a natural predator for urchins—play in preserving existing kelp forests in the Monterey Bay.
The research project spanned three years, during which intensive under water surveys produced some very interesting data about sea otter behavior. Sea otters have very high metabolisms (新陈代谢) that keep them warm in icy waters and which also make them greedy consumers of shellfish, urchin, and fish sea otters can eat 25 percent of their body weight in food in a day. At the observed sites, as the urchin population grew, the otter's diet shifted to become more heavily dependent on urchins. In fact, the otters were eating three times as many urchins as they had been before 2014. As a result, they provided crucial protection from urchins to the kelp forests.
The fact that otters were able to contribute to the health of the surviving kelp forests by keeping urchin population in check provides Smith with hope for the forests' continued survival. “The important thing is that the urchins are ultimately reduced，” he says. “The sea otters have maintained patches of kelp forest that can then help refill the barren areas to enhance the recovery of forests.”
1．What influence does climate change have on California's marine ecosystems
A．A greater diversity of marine species.
B．The disappearance of urchins.
C．An explosive growth of sea stars.
D．The weakening of kelp forests.
2．What is the study led by Joshua Smith about
A．Urchins' response to ocean warming.
B．The reproduction of marine animals.
C．Otters' role in protecting kelp forests.
D．The current condition of marine ecosystems.
3．What is a direct result of the shift in otters' diet
A．The otters are more likely to stay warm.
B．The shellfish populations have exploded.
C．Urchins' threat to kelp forests is relieved.
D．The kelp forests have made a full recovery.

[2023·临沂高二期中]
Rain is vital to life on Earth. However, rain isn't just made of water anymore—it's partly made of plastic.
Millions of tiny pieces of plastic, called microplastics, are wandering around Earth's atmosphere and traveling across entire continents, according to a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on April 12. Another study, published in the journal Science in June, 2020 has revealed that every year more than 1，000 tons of the particles (颗粒)—equivalent to over 120 million plastic bottles—fall in rain.
Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter (直径) and come from a number of sources. Plastic bags and bottles released into the environment break down into smaller and smaller bits. Some microplastics are manufactured deliberately to provide abrasion (研磨) in a host of products, such as toothpaste and cleansers, according to the Daily Mail. Another major source is your washing machine. When you wash synthetic (合成的) clothing, tiny microfibers get flushed (冲掉) away with the wastewater. Even though the water is treated by a wastewater plant, the microplastics remain, and they are released into the sea, according to American magazine Wired.
Plastic rain may remind people of acid rain, but the former is far more widespread and harder to deal with. The tiny particles, too small to be seen with the naked eye, are collected by the wind from the ground. They are so light that they stay in the air to be blown around the globe. As they climb into the atmosphere, they are thought to act as nuclei (核心) around which water vapor (水蒸气) condenses (凝结) to form clouds. Some of the dust falls back to land in dry conditions, while the rest comes down as rain, according to the Daily Mail.
Microplastics have been found everywhere you can imagine. From fish and frogs to mice and mosquitoes, their bodies have been found, on average, to contain 40 pieces of microplastic, reported Daily Mail. As the top of the food chain, humans are exposed to microplastics, too. “We live on a ball inside a bubble，” microplastic researcher Steve Allen at University of Strathclyde, Scotland, told Wired. “There are no borders, there are no edges. It (plastic rain) is raining on the land and then getting blown back up into the air again, to move somewhere else. There's no stopping it once it's out.”
5．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．How microplastics should be handled.
B．How microplastics are used widely.
C．How microplastics pollute water.
D．How microplastics come into being.
6．What do we know about microplastics
A．They are light and can be easily dealt with.
B．They result in both acid rain and plastic rain.
C．They have a diameter of at least 5 millimeters.
D．They have nearly affected the whole food chain.
7．What do Steve Allen's words mean in the last paragraph
A．No place is safe from microplastic pollution.
B．The atmosphere possesses the capacity to self cleanse.
C．Countries should work together to fight plastic pollution.
D．It is important to remove microplastics somewhere else.
8．What's the main purpose of the passage
A．To compare acid rain and plastic rain.
B．To warn people of the dangers of microplastics.
C．To call on people to reduce using plastic products.
D．To introduce the sources and effects of microplastics.

Carbon dioxide is released when oil, coal, and other fossil fuels are burned for energy—the energy we use to power our homes, cars, and smartphones. By using less of it, we can limit our own contribution to climate change while also saving money. __1__
Buy energy efficient appliances.
Since they were first set in 1987, efficiency standards for dozens of appliances and products have kept 2.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide out of the air. That's about the same amount as the yearly carbon pollution coughed up by nearly 440 million cars. When shopping for refrigerators, washing machines, and other appliances，look for the Energy Star label. __2__
Reduce water waste.
Saving water reduces carbon pollution, too. That's because it takes a lot of energy to pump, heat, and treat your water. __3__ Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. And switch to water efficient equipment. If one out of every 100 American homes did this, about 100 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year would be saved, avoiding 80，000 tons of global warming pollution.
__4__
Gas smart cars, such as hybrids and fully electric cars, save fuel and money. And once all cars and light trucks meet 2025's clean car standards, which means averaging 54.5 miles per gallon, they'll be a mainstay. For good reason: Compared with the 2011 standards, Americans will spend $80 billion less at the gas station each year and cut their emissions by half. Before you buy a new set of wheels, compare fuel economy performance.
Rethink planes, trains, and cars.
Choosing to live in walkable smart growth cities and towns with quality public transportation leads to less driving, less money spent on fuel, and less pollution in the air.
__5__ Air transport is a major source of climate pollution. If you can take a train instead, do that.
A．So take shorter showers.
B．Drive a fuel efficient car.
C．Cut down on your water consumption completely.
D．It will tell you which are the most efficient.
E．Change only happens when individuals take action.
F．Less frequent flying can make a big difference, too.
G．Here are some effective ways each one of us can make a difference.

[2023·湖北省四地七校联考]Zhu Dejun's first job after graduating from college was as a road design engineer at an institute in his hometown, Alshaa League, North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region. In 2011, when Zhu was conducting a road survey along with his colleagues, he saw a plant that he didn't recognize. Later, Zhu learned that the plant was a saxaul tree which is an excellent tree species for sand fixation and afforestation(造林) in desert areas. It's commonly seen, though easily ignored. Known as a desert guardian, a fully grown saxaul tree can hold together a 10 square meter patch of desert land, according to Zhu.
Zhu quit his job at the design institute in 2014 and joined a nonprofit organization, the Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology Conservation, or SEE, in the same year, concentrating on tackling desertification.
The organization, devoted to ecological protection and social responsibility, was located in the Alshaa League of Inner Mongolia. During the past eight years, Zhu has been leading a team from SEE to plant saxaul trees in sandy areas in Alshaa League and other places of Inner Mongolia.
In 2014, the SEE launched a project titled “one million saxaul trees”， aiming to reach that number from 2014 to 2023, turning the desert of more than 133，330 hectares back into a satisfying ecosystem. By the end of 2018, half of the organization's goal had been achieved.
In 2016, Ant Finance cooperated with SEE to introduce the Ant Forest platform, not only encouraging people to choose “a low carbon way” of shopping, traveling and living, but also to help control desertification.
Through the participation of a greater number of online users, who grow virtual trees, the SEE Foundation, set up in 2008, has been providing subsidies(补助金)for local herdsmen and farmers while also offering technological support to plant saxaul trees in desert areas. Now, Zhu is the head of the foundation's project to fight desertification. He also gives lectures about saxaul trees and the fight against desertification at schools, hoping to raise awareness among young people.
1．What did Zhu Dejun do first after graduation
A．He researched on saxaul trees.
B．He joined a nonprofit organization.
C．He found ways to fight desertification.
D．He focused on road design engineering.
2．Why are saxual trees planted by Zhu's team
A．They are easily taken care of.
B．They can grow fast in deserts.
C．They are perfect for holding water.
D．They can fight desertification effectively.
3．What did SEE do to control desertification
A．They teamed up with Ant Finance.
B．They planted one million saxaul trees.
C．They held online lectures on desertification.
D．They encouraged donation from online users.
4．How can online users help Zhu's team

[2023·临沂高二期中]In an article entitled “Millions of Americans Have Lost Jobs in the Pandemic—And Robots and AI Are Replacing Them Faster Than Ever”， the author Alana Semuels says, “The application of robots as a response to the coronavirus was rapid. They were suddenly cleaning floors at airports and taking people's temperatures. Hospitals and universities used Sally, a salad making robot created by tech company Chowbotics, to replace dining hall employees; malls and stadiums bought Knightscope security guard robots; companies that manufacture in demand supplies turned to industrial robot supplier Yaskawa America to help increase production.”
As Semuels writes, “Now, as automation lets companies do more with fewer people, successful companies don't need as many workers. The most valuable company in the U. S． in 1964, AT & T had 758, 611 employees; while the most valuable company today, Apple, has around 137, 000 employees. Though today's big companies make billions of dollars, they share that income with fewer employees, and more of their profit goes to shareholders.”
In a world where being an employee becomes increasingly less secure, the question you must ask yourself is, “What will be valued in the future when it comes to work？”
My belief is that a core skill set will be in high demand. That skill set is problem solving.
If you want to survive in an increasingly automated world, you must come to terms with the fact that problems will never go away. No matter how many times you find a solution to one problem, another one will appear. But, if you also understand that the process of solving problems is what makes you rich, you'll welcome problems when they come into your life or when you see them in the lives of others. Once you start solving not only your own problems but also the problems of others, you become in high demand.
Today, I encourage you to begin looking at the world as one filled with possibilities of problems to be solved and profited from. Start with the simple question, “What's my problem？” And work from there. Chances are that if you solve your own problems, you'll begin to solve others' problems too.
5．What's the main idea of the first paragraph
A．More work is done by robots.
B．Robots are good at service work.
C．Robots can do the work faster.
D．Humans are totally replaced by robots.
6．What does Alana Semuels intend to show by comparing Apple with AT & T
A．Companies make more money.
B．Fewer employees are needed.
C．Being an employee is more difficult.
D．More people benefit from technology.
7．How should we deal with problems according to the author
A．Ignore them wisely.
B．Avoid them at all costs.
C．Accept them willingly.
D．Predict them in advance.
8．What's the purpose of the last paragraph
A．To give a warning.
B．To offer a comment.
C．To draw a conclusion.
D．To make a suggestion.

Lakshmi grew up in India in the first half of the twentieth century, seeing many people around her who did not get enough food were often sick and died young.
In the 1960s, she was asked to help manage a program to improve nutrition in her country. At that time, most advice on nutrition came from North American and European countries. Nutritionists suggested foods that were common and worked well for people who lived in these nations.
For example, they told poor Indian women to eat more meat and eggs and drink more orange juice. But Lakshmi knew this advice was useless in a country such as India. People there didn't eat such foods. They weren't easy to find. And for the poor, such foods were too expensive.Lakshmi knew that for the program to work, it had to fit Indian culture. So she decided to adjust the nutrition program. She first found out what healthy middle class people in India ate. She took note of the nutrients (营养物) available in those foods. Then she looked for cheap, easy to find foods that would provide the same nutrients.
She created a balanced diet of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and grains. These foods were cheap and could be cooked with simple equipment. Her ideas were thought unusual in the 1960s. For example, she insisted that a diet without meat could provide all major nutrients. Now we know she was right. But it took her continuous efforts to get others to finally accept her diet about 50 years ago. Because of Lakshmi's program, Indian children almost doubled their food intake. And many children who would have been hungry and ill grew healthy and strong.
4．Why did Lakshmi think European nutritionists' advice was useless
A．It worked well for European people.
B．It suggested too many foods for Indians.
C．It was not practical in India that time.
D．It included foods that didn't exist in India.
5．Why did Lakshmi study healthy middle class people's diet
A．To find out nutrients in their food.
B．To learn about Indian culture.
C．To know about their eating habits.
D．To write a report on food nutrients.
6．Why was Lakshmi's balanced diet considered unusual
A．Because people thought those foods were too cheap.
B．Because people thought it should include some meat.
C．Because people thought it provided all major nutrients.
D．Because people thought it enabled kids to grow healthy.
7．What can we infer about Lakshmi
A．She came from a rich family.
B．She disliked middle class people.
C．She worked with European nutritionists.
D．She was a determined person.

[2023·烟台市高二期中]Honeybees rely heavily on flower patterns not just colors when searching for food, new research shows.
A team led by the University of Exeter tested bee behaviour and built bee's eye view simulations (模拟装置) to work out how they see flowers.
Honeybees have low resolution vision, so they can only see a flower's pattern clearly when they are within few centimeters. However, the new study shows bees can very effectively distinguish between different flowers by using a combination of colour and pattern.
In a series of tests, bees rarely ignored pattern, suggesting colour alone does not lead them to flowers. This may help to explain why some colours that are visible to bees are rarely produced by flowers in nature.
“We studied a large amount of data on plants and bee behaviour，” said Professor Natalie Hempel, from Centre for Research in Animal Behaviour. “By training and testing bees using man made patterns of shape and colour, we found they relied flexibly on their ability to see both of these elements. Showing how insects see colour and learn colour patterns is important to understand how pollinators (传粉者) may, or may not, create evolutionary ‘pressures’ on the colours and patterns that flowers have evolved (进化). Our findings suggest that flowers don't need to evolve too many different flower colours, because they can use patterns to vary their displays so bees can tell them apart from other flowers.”
One typical feature identified in the study is that the outside edges of flowers usually contrast strongly with the plant's leaves while the centre of the flower does not have such a strong contrast with the leaf colour. This could help bees quickly identify colour differences and find their way to flowers.
While flowers may be beautiful to humans, Professor Hempel stressed that understanding more about bees and the threats they face meant we need to see the world “through the eyes of a bee and the mind of a bee.”
8．What does the new research focus on
A．The source of bees' food supply.
B．The way of bees finding flowers.
C．The effect of bees' poor eyesight.
D．The evolution of bees' behavior.
9．What does Hempel think of flowers trying to evolve more colours
A．It's not a must.
B．It's a pressing need.
C．It's beyond belief.
D．It's a temporary solution.
10．What's Paragraph 6 mainly about
A．An explanation of the research intention.
B．Dramatic changes in the research strategy.
C．Conflict between different research outcomes.
D．Supporting evidence for the research findings.
11．What aspect of research into bees did Hempel highlight
A．Research data.
B．Research methods.
C．Research objects.
D．Research frequency.

Some of the recent scientific studies have found that people who receive higher education live longer than those who do not. According to a new study, reading books extends lifespan (寿命) by up to two years, and the more often you read, the better.
Back in 1975, economists concluded that longer lifespan is linked to the wealth of a person, and that wealth itself increases longevity. It seemed self evident: everything people need to be healthy from food to medical care costs money. But soon it was realized that the data didn't always fit that theory. Economic success didn't always mean longer lives. In the 1980s, researchers found gaining higher education is connected with a greater increase in lifespan than gains in wealth.
One fact is of teachers and college professors: they live longer than the rest of the population. The reason is that they engage in research most of their lives for teaching or publishing, which increases their lifespan and most importantly also retards their aging process.
Let's look at what benefits educated people. Educated people get routinely involved in social networks; they get access to information because of their ability to understand information. They can easily navigate the health care system; they have more social support.
Reading helps us understand how other people think and feel. Reading improves our emotional intelligence. This understanding can improve the quality of a person's life as it would allow the person to act with better judgment and have more insight into the feelings and thought patterns of others. Research has shown that reading changes certain areas of the brain and causes certain other parts to be active. This effect can also be observed in adults who learn to read much later in life. Learning has no age bar. Each and every human is born with the right to be educated. So, don't hold back your urge to learn. The goal of education is to improve intelligence as well as the lifespan.
12．What conclusion did economists in 1975 draw
A．People need high quality food to keep healthy.
B．Medical care costs more money than food.
C．Most old people have the habit of reading.
D.Wealthy people tend to live longer.
13．What does the underlined word “retards” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Speeds up. B．Turns back.
C．Slows down. D．Contributes to.
14．What is the advantage of educated people according to Paragraph 4
A．They are more connected to the society.
B．They can set up their own health care system.
C．They learn more about human body and medical care.
D．They are skilled in doing research through social networks.
15．What can we know about reading from the last paragraph
A．It can help people understand humans' brain better.
B．It is beneficial to people's EQ and brain health.
C．It can change a person's lifestyle completely.
D．It is effective against cancer.
Ⅱ.七选五
Green exercise is a term used to describe any type of physical exercise that takes place in a natural environment rather than in a health club or gym. __1__ Instead, it relies on the use of natural means of taking part in activities that improve strength and endurance with as little reliance on equipment as possible.
__2__ For example, some consider a truly natural exercise experience requires that the individual wear clothing only made from natural fibers. Others consider barefoot running or walking with a big arena to be more desirable than running or walking with shoes.
A slightly different approach to green exercise puts more stress on the fresh air, sunshine and involvement with the natural world, rather than the equipment or clothing used during the exercise. __3__ Similarly, climbing a mountain using standard equipment and protective clothing would also be considered a green exercise.
Many consider green exercise helps to reconnect human beings with the natural world. The interaction with nature helps to lower people's blood pressure, refresh their mind, and actually improve their self esteem. __4__
Not everyone believes that the green exercise is more beneficial than working out in a health club or gym. __5__ Meanwhile, the use of fitness devices may result in more challenging workouts which help strengthen the heart and lungs in ways that more simplistic exercise in a natural setting would be difficult to manage.
A．A green gym uses as little equipment as possible.
B．Spirits are also believed to be positively affected.
C．Opinions on what truly green exercise means differ.
D．Green exercise includes a range of activities exposed to nature.
E．So riding a bicycle in the forest can be called a type of green exercise.
F．It usually doesn't use fitness equipment that is normally found in a gym.
G．Some point out that many health clubs are built to make full use of natural light.
