From fighting aliens in A Quiet Place to helping his best friend in Wonder, Noah Jupe has played approximately 20 different characters. And he’s only 18!
According to Noah, lots of kids dream of becoming movie stars, and he was no exception. The first time he performed on a real set, he truly fell in love with acting. His career began in 2015 when he was 10 years old. That year, he appeared in a British TV show: the award-winning series Downton Abbey. Two years later, he made his feature film debut (初次登台) in The Man. Since then, he’s been occupied with many movie roles and has worked with some of Hollywood’s most accomplished actors. Noah’s been directed by George Clooney and has acted with Matt Damon, Nicole Kidman, Christian Bale and more.
Noah’s life has been full of opportunities. In an interview, he was asked how he stayed so levelheaded(沉稳的). He responded, “This industry is a very easy place to get lost.” But Noah stressed he had a great support system at home, and his family helped keep things normal. He made the conscious decision to stay in school and live in London, away from all the craziness of Hollywood, which gives Noah the privacy he values.
When he’s away on long movie shoots, he can’t wait to get back home. He says he loves going home to his family. According to Noah, the key is “to keep those people who you trust and care about as close as possible”.
At some point in the future, Noah hopes to make his own films and continue acting. He says, “I want to do what I’m enthusiastic about and keep doing it for the rest of my life!” Looking ahead, we can, no doubt, expect to see more great performances that involve the talent of Noah Jupe.

Toilet paper as we know it today is a relatively modern invention that's only been around for about 150 years. It s natural to wonder what was used before modern toilet paper. Toilet paper in its ancient form dates back to China in at least the 6th century. Although paper itself appeared long before that time.
In ancient times, many kinds of materials(材料) were used instead of toilet paper. For example, sand was used by people who settled near the desert(沙漠); grass was used by people living in the grassland. Some other things known to have been used included: fur, leaves, rocks, snow, and so on. Of course, it wasn’t uncommon for people to go to the bathroom in a small river.
They might have used a cloth or their hands to clean themselves afterward. For many people, that might have been preferable to the method used by ancient Romans: a sponge(海绵)on a stick kept in saltwater...and shared by everyone using public bathrooms.
Luckily for us, Joseph Gayetty created the first toilet paper in 1857. His “Gayetty's Medicated Paper” didn’t become popular soon, however, since the public was used to using materials they got for free rather than spending money on toilet paper. The rolled toilet paper we’re familiar with today appeared in the 1880s. It wasn’t necessarily soft like we’re now used to, though. Paper production methods would often leave splinters(刺)in toilet paper. It wasn’t until 1935 that Northern Tissue said they had made “splinter- free” toilet paper.
Other improvements in toilet paper happened over the course of the 20th Century. Larger rolls with softer paper became more popular. Today, take a trip to your local supermarket and you will find many different kinds of toilet paper. For such a widely-used, necessary invention, it isn’t given much thought...until it runs out!
8. What might decide which material ancient people used after using the bathroom
A. What they did. B. Where they lived.
C. How old they were. D. How long they used the bathroom.
9. Why was Gayetty’s Medicated Paper unpopular at first
A. Because the paper had splinters.
B. Because the paper couldn’t be shared.
C. Because people didn't want to pay for it.
D. Because people preferred rolled toilet paper.
10. How does the text mainly develop
A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By telling an interesting story. D. By following the order of time.
11. What would be the best title for the text
A. A great invention--toilet paper
B. Why was toilet paper invented
C. Toilet paper vs water: which to choose.
D. What did people use before toilet paper
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，文章根据时间顺序介绍了厕纸发明前后的情况，并指出这是一项重要的发明。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的 “For example, sand was used by people who settled near the desert(沙漠)； grass was used by people living in the grassland”（ 例如，在沙漠附近定居的人就使用沙子(沙漠）；草被生活在草原上的人们所使用）可知，古人就地取材，解决如厕后的清洁问题，即用什么材料取决于人们生活在哪里。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中的“His “Gayetty's Medicated Paper” didn’t become popular soon, however, since the public was used to using materials they got for free rather than spending money on toilet paper.”（然而，他的“Gayetty纸”并没有很快流行起来，因为公众习惯于使用免费获得的材料，而不是花钱购买卫生纸）可知，由于人们不习惯花钱买厕纸，所以 Gayetly's Medicated Paper 遭遇冷遇。故选C
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由文中依次出现伪 the 6th century, In ancient times, in 1857. in the 1880s. until 1935, the 20th century和Today可知。本文主要按照时间顺序展开。故选D
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者介绍了厕纸发明前后的情况，文中最后一段“For such a widely-used, necessary invention, it isn’t given much thought...until it runs out!（对于这样一个广泛使用的、必要的发明，它没有被给予太多的思考……直到它用完！）”指出它是一个被广泛使用的必要发明。由此可知A项：一个伟大的发明——厕纸，最能概括全文内容，故选A。
D
Believe it or not, the concept of a human washing machine isn’t new. At the 1970 Osaka Expo, Japanese electronics giant Sanyo Electric showed its “Ultrasonic Bath”(超声波浴缸), a human washing machine that cleaned, massaged, and dried the person in a fully-automated 15-minute cycle. The concept never really took off as a commercial product, but now another Japanese technology company wants to take a shot at it, promising to deliver a modern take on the human washing machine by 2025.
Science Co. Ltd., a company known for its many innovations in bath and kitchen technology, has announced its plans to create its own version of the human washing machine. Named “Project Usoyaro”, it uses the latest fine technology, as well as a variety of monitoring sensors(传感器) and an artificial intelligence system to produce a complex bath experience.
Science has stated that the goal of Project Usoyaro is not only to clean the body of the user, but also to provide a healing space where you can relax, listen to the sound of soothing music and enjoy the view of images displayed on a water-resistant display inside the machine. Sensors inside the washing machine will measure the state of nerves(神经), and the built-in AI will use the collected data to create the most comfortable atmosphere possible.
Project Usoyaro is surely a pet project of Science Co. Ltd. chairman Yasuaki Aoyama, who was only 10 years old when Sanyo’s original human washing machine appeared. He was so attracted by the invention that he decided to improve on it if he ever had the chance. Science expects that Project Usoyaro will result in a functional human washing machine by 2024, which the company hopes to showcase at the 2025 Osaka Expo.
12. What is Science Co. Ltd. famous for
A. Research on human body. B. Protection of their production.
C. Creation in bath and kitchen technology. D. Profits from their innovation.
13. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Take a picture of it. B. Give it a chance.
C. Make a remark about it. D. Make a movie of it.
14. What do we know about Project Usoyaro
A. It offers people a complicated bath experience. B. It provides a space where people can talk to others.
C. It doesn’t use artificial intelligence system. D. It uses only one unique monitoring sensor.
15. What is the purpose of writing this passage
A. To call on people to invent more machines. B. To inform people of bathroom innovation.
C. To analyze the success of Science company. D. To describe the history of kitchen innovation.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Science Co. Ltd., a company known for its many innovations in bath and kitchen technology, has announced its plans to create its own version of the human washing machine. (科学有限公司，一家以其在浴室和厨房技术方面的许多创新而闻名的公司，宣布了其制造自己版本的人类洗澡机的计划。)”可知，科学有限公司（Science Co. Ltd.）是一家以其在浴室和厨房技术方面的许多创新而闻名的公司。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Believe it or not, the concept of a human washing machine isn’t new. At the 1970 Osaka Expo, Japanese electronics giant Sanyo Electric showed its “Ultrasonic Bath”(超声波浴缸), a human washing machine that cleaned, massaged, and dried the person in a fully-automated 15-minute cycle. The concept never really took off as a commercial product, but now another Japanese technology company wants to take a shot at it, promising to deliver a modern take on the human washing machine by 2025.

47. 读后续写
It was New Year’s Eve. I was 15 and feeling sad because there was not enough money to buy the dress I wanted. We did the housework early that night, so I thought Dad wanted extra time for us to spend together. Instead, he dressed himself again and went outside. “Come on, Elizabeth,” he said. “Dress yourself warmly. It’s cold out.”
Outside, I became even more annoyed. Not only wasn’t I getting the dress; now Dad was pulling me out in the cold. Whatever we were going to do wasn’t going to be a quick job. I unwillingly climbed up beside Dad, the cold already biting me. We pulled in front of the woodshed(柴棚)，and started loading (装载)wood. Finally, I asked, “Dad, what are you doing ” “Have you been by Mrs. Clark’s lately ” he asked.
Mrs. Clark lived about two miles down the road from us. Her husband had passed away the year before, leaving her and three children to raise on her own. “Yeah,” I said. “Why ” “I rode by just today,” Dad said. “Little Jake was out digging around in the woodpile, trying to find a few pieces of wood. They’re out of wood, Elizabeth.”
That was all he said. Dad then went to the smokehouse and took down a side of bacon, telling me to go load it. He returned carrying a large bag of flour(面粉) over his right shoulder and a smaller bag of something in his left hand. “What’s in the little bag ” I asked. “Shoes . They’re out of shoes. I got the children a box of candies, too. It just wouldn’t be New Year without some candy. ”I tried to think through what Dad was doing. We did have a big woodpile, meat and flour, so we could give some, but I knew we didn’t have any money. Mrs. Clark had closer neighbors than us. Why should we care
We unloaded the wood behind the Clarks’ house and knocked on the door. It opened a crack(缝隙)， and a fearful voice said, “Who is it ” “James Cotton, ma’am, and my daughter, Elizabeth. Could we come in for a bit ”
注意：1、续写词数应为150左右；
2、请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Mrs. Clark opened the door of the house where the three children were wrapped (裹着)in a blanket.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I understood very well that Dad had given me a gift much greater than a dress.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Mrs. Clark opened the door of the house where the three children were wrapped in a blanket. “We brought you a few things, ma’am,” Dad said, and handed the bags to her. She opened one bag and took out the shoes. And she bit her lower lip to keep it from trembling as tears ran down her cheeks. “We brought a load of wood, too.” Then Dad turned to me, “Elizabeth, let’s heat this place up.” Soon the fire worked and everyone was in high spirits. The kids laughed when Dad handed them each a piece of candy, and Mrs. Clark also wore a smile.
Paragraph 2:
I understood very well that Dad had given me a gift much greater than a dress. Just now, I saw the three children surrounding my dad, running and laughing. I could see that they missed their dad, and I was glad that I still had mine. Dad gave me the happy look on Mrs. Clark’s face that probably hadn’t been on her face for a long time, the smiles of her three children and the best New Year memory of my life. I am so grateful that I have got the most valuable gift for the New Year.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写作文。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，除夕之夜15岁的作者因为没有足够的钱买想要的连衣裙而伤心，她原以为早早做完家务，家人们一起过节，但是爸爸却带作者装木柴，要送到克拉克夫人家，因为她丈夫过世，留下她和三个孩子相依为命过着艰苦的生活。续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：克拉克夫人打开门，里面三个孩子裹着一个毯子。所以后文应该是讲述作者父亲给克拉克夫人一家送去她们需要过冬的木柴和鞋子，以及孩子们开心的场面。第二段开头是：我理解爸爸给了我一个比连衣裙还珍贵的礼物。本段应该写作者看到穷苦的克拉克一家在新年因为得到了帮助久违的笑脸，这段经历给作者和克拉克一家留下了快乐的回忆。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：handed the bags to ；in high spirit；bit her lower lip ；imagination；keep it from ；wore a smile等高级词汇；And she bit her lower lip to keep it from trembling as tears ran down her cheeks.运用时间状语从句， I saw the three children surrounding my dad, running and laughing运用非谓语动词等高级句式。贵阳一中2023级高一年级教学质量监测卷（二）

From fighting aliens in A Quiet Place to helping his best friend in Wonder, Noah Jupe has played approximately 20 different characters. And he’s only 18!
According to Noah, lots of kids dream of becoming movie stars, and he was no exception. The first time he performed on a real set, he truly fell in love with acting. His career began in 2015 when he was 10 years old. That year, he appeared in a British TV show: the award-winning series Downton Abbey. Two years later, he made his feature film debut (初次登台) in The Man. Since then, he’s been occupied with many movie roles and has worked with some of Hollywood’s most accomplished actors. Noah’s been directed by George Clooney and has acted with Matt Damon, Nicole Kidman, Christian Bale and more.
Noah’s life has been full of opportunities. In an interview, he was asked how he stayed so levelheaded(沉稳的). He responded, “This industry is a very easy place to get lost.” But Noah stressed he had a great support system at home, and his family helped keep things normal. He made the conscious decision to stay in school and live in London, away from all the craziness of Hollywood, which gives Noah the privacy he values.
When he’s away on long movie shoots, he can’t wait to get back home. He says he loves going home to his family. According to Noah, the key is “to keep those people who you trust and care about as close as possible”.
At some point in the future, Noah hopes to make his own films and continue acting. He says, “I want to do what I’m enthusiastic about and keep doing it for the rest of my life!” Looking ahead, we can, no doubt, expect to see more great performances that involve the talent of Noah Jupe.

Toilet paper as we know it today is a relatively modern invention that's only been around for about 150 years. It s natural to wonder what was used before modern toilet paper. Toilet paper in its ancient form dates back to China in at least the 6th century. Although paper itself appeared long before that time.
In ancient times, many kinds of materials(材料) were used instead of toilet paper. For example, sand was used by people who settled near the desert(沙漠); grass was used by people living in the grassland. Some other things known to have been used included: fur, leaves, rocks, snow, and so on. Of course, it wasn’t uncommon for people to go to the bathroom in a small river.
They might have used a cloth or their hands to clean themselves afterward. For many people, that might have been preferable to the method used by ancient Romans: a sponge(海绵)on a stick kept in saltwater...and shared by everyone using public bathrooms.
Luckily for us, Joseph Gayetty created the first toilet paper in 1857. His “Gayetty's Medicated Paper” didn’t become popular soon, however, since the public was used to using materials they got for free rather than spending money on toilet paper. The rolled toilet paper we’re familiar with today appeared in the 1880s. It wasn’t necessarily soft like we’re now used to, though. Paper production methods would often leave splinters(刺)in toilet paper. It wasn’t until 1935 that Northern Tissue said they had made “splinter- free” toilet paper.
Other improvements in toilet paper happened over the course of the 20th Century. Larger rolls with softer paper became more popular. Today take a trip to your local supermarket and you will find many different kinds of toilet paper. For such a widely-used, necessary invention, it isn’t given much thought...until it runs out!
8. What might decide which material ancient people used after using the bathroom
A What they did. B. Where they lived.
C. How old they were. D. How long they used the bathroom.
9. Why was Gayetty’s Medicated Paper unpopular at first
A. Because the paper had splinters.
B. Because the paper couldn’t be shared.
C. Because people didn't want to pay for it.
D. Because people preferred rolled toilet paper.
10. How does the text mainly develop
A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By telling an interesting story. D. By following the order of time.
11. What would be the best title for the text
A. A great invention--toilet paper
B. Why was toilet paper invented
C. Toilet paper vs water: which to choose.
D. What did people use before toilet paper
D
Believe it or not, the concept of a human washing machine isn’t new. At the 1970 Osaka Expo, Japanese electronics giant Sanyo Electric showed its “Ultrasonic Bath”(超声波浴缸), a human washing machine that cleaned, massaged, and dried the person in a fully-automated 15-minute cycle. The concept never really took off as a commercial product, but now another Japanese technology company wants to take a shot at it, promising to deliver a modern take on the human washing machine by 2025.
Science Co. Ltd., a company known for its many innovations in bath and kitchen technology, has announced its plans to create its own version of the human washing machine. Named “Project Usoyaro”, it uses the latest fine technology, as well as a variety of monitoring sensors(传感器) and an artificial intelligence system to produce a complex bath experience.
Science has stated that the goal of Project Usoyaro is not only to clean the body of the user, but also to provide a healing space where you can relax, listen to the sound of soothing music and enjoy the view of images displayed on a water-resistant display inside the machine. Sensors inside the washing machine will measure the state of nerves(神经), and the built-in AI will use the collected data to create the most comfortable atmosphere possible.

47. 读后续写
It was New Year’s Eve. I was 15 and feeling sad because there was not enough money to buy the dress I wanted. We did the housework early that night, so I thought Dad wanted extra time for us to spend together. Instead, he dressed himself again and went outside. “Come on, Elizabeth,” he said. “Dress yourself warmly. It’s cold out.”
Outside, I became even more annoyed. Not only wasn’t I getting the dress; now Dad was pulling me out in the cold. Whatever we were going to do wasn’t going to be a quick job. I unwillingly climbed up beside Dad, the cold already biting me. We pulled in front of the woodshed(柴棚)，and started loading (装载)wood. Finally, I asked, “Dad, what are you doing ” “Have you been by Mrs. Clark’s lately ” he asked.
Mrs. Clark lived about two miles down the road from us. Her husband had passed away the year before, leaving her and three children to raise on her own. “Yeah,” I said. “Why ” “I rode by just today,” Dad said. “Little Jake was out digging around in the woodpile, trying to find a few pieces of wood. They’re out of wood, Elizabeth.”
That was all he said. Dad then went to the smokehouse and took down a side of bacon, telling me to go load it. He returned carrying a large bag of flour(面粉) over his right shoulder and a smaller bag of something in his left hand. “What’s in the little bag ” I asked. “Shoes . They’re out of shoes. I got the children a box of candies, too. It just wouldn’t be New Year without some candy. ”I tried to think through what Dad was doing. We did have a big woodpile, meat and flour, so we could give some, but I knew we didn’t have any money. Mrs. Clark had closer neighbors than us. Why should we care
We unloaded the wood behind the Clarks’ house and knocked on the door. It opened a crack(缝隙)， and a fearful voice said, “Who is it ” “James Cotton, ma’am, and my daughter, Elizabeth. Could we come in for a bit ”
注意：1、续写词数应为150左右；
2、请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Mrs. Clark opened the door of the house where the three children were wrapped (裹着)in a blanket.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I understood very well that Dad had given me a gift much greater than a dress.
