Last week witnessed a lecture on earthquake given by Professor Li who is an expert in the field of earthquake in our school hall.

【原文】W: Hello, I’m told that you’re offering volunteer programs to retirees and I’d like to know more.
M: Yes. We offer various programs to people aged 55 and older, such as Working with Children, Senior Citizen Schools and Animal Shelters. And old people returning to college has been topping the list these years.
W: Okay. How is it possible for us old people to “work”with children in any way
M: Well, our center has built cooperative relationships with local hospitals, so we’re able to give the elderly chances to spend time with children who need care. We rely on volunteers for activities including looking after sick children, reading stories to them and monitoring playrooms.
W: OK. It all sounds like manageable work for me.
M: Good. And there’s one more thing — volunteer opportunities involving children require the volunteer’s medical report, and their commitment to volunteer for a certain number of hours per week.

【原文】W: You went to North America last year
M: Yes. It all started with a call from one of my chess club members. We had hundreds of discussions and finally did all the necessary bookings to cover some famous destinations in North America.
W: How did all the planning go
M: Hmm, not well as what we’d expected. The taxi driver canceled the trip before departure and we struggled about whether to go or not. But we still got time for the flight, so we inquired about other taxis and drivers and finally found one in time.
W: What did you guys do there
M: We arrived quite late, so we headed straight towards the homestay on Day One. On the next day, we went to Niagara Falls and stayed on the bank of the Niagara River at night. On the last day, we witnessed the sunrise, visited Queen Victoria Park and returned to our homestay. Our landlady was the best thing that could have happened to our trip. She cooked lots of traditional local food for us.
听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。
【原文】Mallorca is a dreamland for cyclists at this time of year. The climate is better than that in Northern Europe, where most visiting cyclists come from. It has a superb road network — over half of it are secondary or rural roads, with little traffic, and a huge network of cycling routes. For everyone, from the holidaymakers who want to see the island in a more environmentally friendly way, to the athletes competing in sporting events, Mallorca has it all. I remember once while we were working in the garden, we heard some English voices in the lane. We looked up and saw a couple pushing their bicycles up the hill. So we invited them to join us for tea — an offer they accepted with smiles. We spent an agreeable hour chatting and discovered that the husband worked in the same place where I used to stay. I had worked in Paris for ten years. Small world, eh I also encountered a German cyclist once. That was a hot Sunday afternoon, and he was looking for a restaurant. I managed to give him the directions and he left gratefully.厦门六中2023—2024学年第一学期高一1月月考

Gretchen Altman is smiling, leaning back casually, a cup of coffee in hand--Hills Bros. Coffee, to be precise. It looks like a casual shot, but if you hit like, leave a comment, and tag a friend, you can get three different cups of coffee, for free.
Altman is part of a growing trend of “micro-influencers”. She has a small following — around 6,000 on Instagram. Her going rate is $300 to $800 to promote something. She does some posts in exchange for free goods, as long as it’ s stuff she believes in.
As a micro-influencer she has a much closer relationship with her followers than a big social media star. “I’m just living a normal life and people relate to that,” she says. “They just feel like I’m a friend of theirs.”
But it worries consumer rights groups. Several recent studies have found that young audiences are largely unable to understand when something is sponsored content.
In some cases, it’s clear. When a big star takes to a social media to advertise Coca-Cola, for example, the assumption is that he or she’s probably getting paid to do so. And the posts are clearly labeled as ads, with the caption (说明文字) “advertisement” or “sponsored content” .
But what happens when an everyday person with just a couple thousand followers takes to social media to extol (颂扬) the virtues of a product The motivations are not so clear cut. The problem with these social media posts is that you don’t know whether it’s an ad or not.
Altman is diligent about (勤于) using those hashtags (标签). She loves what she does and sees it as a business, but she doesn’t necessarily want to be a social media celebrity.
“With social media being so integrated into our everyday lives, we have this unique opportunity that I don’t think anyone has ever had before where we can each be our own brand,” Altman says.
24. What does a micro-influencer do according to the passage
A. Give enough likes. B. Design advertisements.
C. Post to promote sales. D. Recommend some comments.
25. What makes consumer rights groups feel worried
A. Sponsored ads content. B. Ads with caption on posts.
C. The unclear motivations of the posts. D. The increasingly growing number of audiences.
26. How does Gretchen Altman feel about being a micro-influencer
A. Delighted. B. Annoyed. C. Ambitious. D. Depressed.
27. Which of the following can be the best title
A. Hills Bros. Coffee, Your Coffee
B. We Can Each Be Our Own Top Brand
C. To be a Micro-influencer or to be a Big Star
D. Instagram Advertising: Do You Know It, When You See It
C
Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic reasons — why they should be preserved. So, let us assume（假设）that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not affect its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
28. What does the author say about historical buildings in Paragraph 1
A. Some of them are not attractive.
B. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
29. Which of the following is true according to the author
A. We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B. In no way should buildings affect the surroundings.
C. Some old buildings have ruined the area they are in.
D. Nobody knows why people speak against new buildings.
30. By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means ________.
A. destroy old buildings B. put things in a different place
C. choose new architectural styles D. respect people's feelings for historical buildings
31. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To explain why people dislike change.
B. To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
D. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
D
For people who are interested in sound, the field of sound technology is definitely making noise. In the past, sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios, but many of today’s sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound.
Sound can be used as a weapon. Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief. The thief tries to escape. And the officer can’t let him get away. He pulls out a special device, points it at the suspect, and switches it on. The thief drops to the ground. This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device. It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person. The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person, but it is not deadly.
For those who hunger for some peace and quiet, sound can now create silence. Let’s say you are at the airport, and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming a short commercial song. He hums it over and over again, and you are about to go crazy. Thanks to the Silence Machine, a British invention, you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents. One may wonder how the Silence Machine works. Well, it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves. The two sets of waves cancel each other out. Simply turn the machine on, point it at the target, and your peace and quiet comes back.
Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights are used in the theater. A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage; similarly, a “spotsound” creates a circle of sound in one targeted area. This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers. Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu, allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining. Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes.
32. What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRAD
A. It slows down a running man. B. It makes it easy to identify a suspect.
C. It causes temporary hearing loss. D. It keeps the suspect from disabling others.
33. The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to .
A. silence the people around you B. block the incoming sound waves
C.remove the sound of commercials D. stop unwanted sound from affecting you
34. What feature do spotsounds and spotlights share
A. They travel in circles. B. They clear the atmosphere.
C. They can be transformed into energy. D. They can be directed onto a specific area.
35. Directed sound can be used for______________.
A. creative designs of restaurant menus B. different choices of music for businesses
C. ideal sound effects on the theater stage D. strict control over any suspicious customer

Do you like to shop online 36 Maybe you like to do both these things. Smart shoppers know how to use different methods to get the best price.
One common shopper strategy is “showrooming.” This means that customers go into a store, look at the product, talk to a salesperson, and then use their smartphones or other mobile devices to find a better price. “Reverse showrooming” is another strategy. 37 One thing is for certain: shoppers are now using many strategies to get the best price.
The number of online shoppers is rising, but not as fast as retailers (零售商) first thought. People still like to go into stores. Teens especially prefer to shop at the shopping center. 38
In order to keep customers coming into stores, managers need to train salespeople well. In-store shoppers want salespeople to give them a lot of attention, be polite, and know a lot about the product.
39 At the top of the list are electronic products. It's easy to research these products and compare prices online.
However, online shopping doesn't work for every product. People prefer to shop for food in a store. 40 But you still need to drive the car. If you're buying a mattress (床垫), online reviews can't tell you if it will be comfortable for you. You still need to go into the store and lie on it.
A. What products do shoppers like to buy online
B. With online shopping, you can't try before you buy.
C. Usually the products we find online have better prices.
D. Or do you prefer to go into a store and look at a product
E. If you're buying a new car, you can research prices online.
F. Shopping for them is not about finding the best price; it’s a social experience.
G. Customers first go online to do research and then go into a store to get the product.

As your child progresses through life, he will make mistakes. As a parent, it’s your responsibility to correct those mistakes, but you should use the right way to correct your child's mistakes or else you risk harming his self-esteem (自尊) or causing problems in your relationship. Using the right way to offer your child constructive criticism (建设性的批评) encourages healthy development.
Parents should be willing to teach their child proper behaviors when offering constructive criticism, according to an Everyday Health article. If your child’s leaving food particles on dishes that he’s washed, teach him your way of properly washing dishes, as opposed to shouting at him or thinking he’s lazy. You can say, “I know you work hard at washing the dishes every night. But for the past few weeks I’ve noticed that there’s been some food stuck on some of the dishes. I used to do this when I was about your age, too. May I show you the way I’ve learned to wash the dishes ”
Your child will probably not reply to your criticism if it is given in an angry tone ( 语气). Talk to your child when you’re calm and clear-headed. It’s difficult enough to receive criticism because no one really wants to hear about their mistakes, says psychiatrist Harry Croft, so it’s important that you use a loving tone when correcting your child’s mistakes. If the matter doesn’t need to be dealt with immediately, give yourself as much time as you need — even go for a walk — before correcting your child’s behaviors.
Comparison is never a good way of offering constructive criticism. When you compare your child with someone else, you are creating feelings of inadequacy ( 缺乏信心) in your child, which can have long-lasting bad influences. Instead, focus on your child, his behaviors, and the things he might be able to improve. Instead of saying, “I wish you could be respectful ( 尊敬的) to your grandparents like your brother,” try saying, “I really want you to work on having more respect for your grandparents.”
