In Colonial Days，farm families worked from sunrise to sunset and sometimes longer. People had little time for play. They did not have a chance to see other people as much as we do today. But sometimes they were able to turn hard work into good times and still visit with their neighbours.
In Virginia，Indian corn was an important crop. In late autumn after the weather had turned cold，the corn was ready to be harvested. Each ear had a cover of leaves called the husk(壳). The colonists pulled ears of corn from the dry stalks and stored the ears of corn. Later，they held a corn-husking party.
On a clear night in November，neighbouring families gathered to husk the corn. They lit lanterns in a barn and piled the corn in high mounds(垛) on the floor. Then everyone went to work.
Most of the corn was yellow or white. But from time to time，a red ear was found. The person who found it was supposed to have good luck.

(2023山东潍坊市一中高二测试)As a kid，I was always around animals and I always enjoyed it. After my senior year of high school，we started leasing this farm. Then I went away to Rhode Island School of Design to become an architect. After about two years and a half，I found that was not quite what I wanted to do. I felt I wanted to be an architect and have a hobby farm. But why not just have a farm and make it my career
It’s an exciting business. I think a lot of people don’t realise what’s involved with dairy farming(奶牛业). We took some trips to some progressive farms out in New York when we first started. And it really changed my attitude of what you can do. You can be a successful businessperson with a lot of challenges. And those challenges are part of what makes it very exciting—it’s not just milking cows. There’s nutrition and finances and a lot of big day-to-day decisions.
Well，land is the biggest obstacle. Securing enough land is important. We don’t just need the land for the animals； we also need it to distribute the manure from the cows. And there’s a real balance，a real recycling. You take the feed； you give it to the cows，and the cows give you milk，but they also give you a lot of manure. And the best thing to do is putting it back on the land. You need 2 acres per cow basically，a cow and its calf.
The land that we rent is beautiful and the land that we own is beautiful. If you get half a mile off the road and looking back at scenery across the valley，it’s impressive. You get the rows of grass and the cows in the distance.
8．Which of the following is included in the dairy farming according to the text
A．Taking trips around the farm to enjoy life.
B．Milking cows，nutrition，finances and decisions.
C．Playing with the cows around the farm.
D．Designing for the dairy farming.
9．What’s the biggest challenge that the author faced
A．Huge amounts of money. B．Quantities of workers.
C．Highly qualified milk cows. D．Securing enough land.
10．Which one is the best title for this text
A．Building a Successful Dairy Business
B．Famous Farmers Around the World
C．Highly Qualified Milk Cows
D．The Architecture Designer
11．What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3
A．Waste of the cows. B．Chemical fertiliser.
C．Milk from the cows. D．Food offered to cows.

(2023山东济南市一中高二测试)What do you do at the end of the day when you’ve finished with work How you spend your free time can have a big impact on your mental health. Hobbies can help you relax and ease pent-up(被压抑的) stress caused by all that time in the office or in front of the computer. But，interestingly，how you spend your free time can also impact your work performance.
Researchers at the University of Sheffield’s Institute of Work Psychology in the UK found that developing hobbies can develop your confidence about how well you perform your job.But your hobby has to be significantly different from what you do from 9-to-5 work.
To study the connection between work and leisure activities，researchers employed 129 people who worked and were active in hobbies like rock climbing，musical theatre and singing. They had them complete surveys to see how serious and committed they were to their hobbies and how demanding their jobs were. Then，each month for seven months，participants were asked how many hours they spent on their hobbies and how they rated their ability to perform at work.
Researchers found that if people have hobbies similar to what they do at work and that they do in an intense way，their on-the-job confidence can suffer. It’s likely because their work and leisure time have the same mental and physical demands，so they’re always feeling drained．
In contrast，people who have hobbies different from their work are happier and healthier. This is also true of those who choose a similar hobby but only participate in a light-hearted way. Those playful recreations act as a barrier between their professional and personal lives，giving them rest time to “recharge their batteries”，the researchers say.
“When we feel like we have the confidence to handle challenges in our jobs，we’re more likely to be able to build a sustainable job and remain healthy，productive，happy and employable over our lifetimes. It’s important to consider how our leisure activities might play a role in that process，” lead researcher Ciara Kelly said in a statement.
12．What’s the impact of your hobby
A．It surely improves your physical strength.
B．It helps you to recover from your stress.
C．It enables you to behave more actively.
D．It increases your willingness to work hard.
13．Which of the following is proper and reasonable according to Paragraph 2
A．A basketball coach plays basketball.
B．A writer keeps a diary every day.
C．An e-game developer surfs the Internet.
D．A doctor sometimes goes swimming.
14．What does the underlined word “drained” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Worried. B．Exhausted.
C．Unconfident. D．Disappointed.
15．How can people benefit from hobbies similar to their work
A．Take them seriously. B．Set strict schedules for them.
C．Participate in them just for fun. D．Develop them into their business.

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。
Anyone who knows me well would see me as an optimist.__16__ This was the case for me on a particularly cold January day.
I felt exhausted by the painful challenges I was dealing with in my personal life.__17__ — The gray sky blocked even a single ray of sunlight.
About midway through the day，I left work to get some lunch. Still feeling negative，I noticed that the sun had come out for a moment. I began to think about my negative attitude and reminded myself that I was responsible for choosing my state of mind.__18__ Even though I reminded myself of this truth，I couldn’t make the change.
As I stopped at a red light，I looked at the car in front of mine. The personalized license plate caught my eye — It read “SUNZOUT”. This brought an immediate smile to my face.__19__ And in the midst of the longest，darkest，coldest winter，this in itself was a blessing. But then my eyes moved to the car that was next to the SUNZOUT vehicle. The license plate on that car read “GROUCH”. This brought more than a smile to my face as I laughed out loud! Seeing the two opposite license plates at that exact moment in time strengthened my previous recognition of my ability to choose my attitude. __20__
I returned to work and shared my story with several co-workers who responded with warm laughter at what I refer to as my “message from beyond”. I learned that day that when we’re feeling too discouraged to bring ourselves out of an active state，relief is only a prayer away!
A．The weather seemed to match my mood.
B．Pessimists think the opposite way，however.
C．However，even optimists can temporarily lose hope.
D．It felt like a reminder that the sun was shining after all.
E．Do you think that the sunshine will spread throughout your life
F．I felt my spirit lift as I made the decision to choose a positive attitude.
G．While I could not ignore the pain I was going through，I could choose to think positively.

12．B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Hobbies can help you relax and ease pent-up(被压抑的) stress caused by all that time in the office or in front of the computer.”可知，爱好能帮助你从压力中恢复过来。故选B项。
13．D　推理判断题。根据第二段“Researchers at the University of Sheffield’s Institute of Work Psychology in the UK found that developing hobbies can develop your confidence about how well you perform your job. But your hobby has to be significantly different from what you do from 9-to-5 work.”可知，你的爱好与朝九晚五的工作不相同时，才会有助于提升你工作的表现。因此，D项“医生有时去游泳”是适当和合理的。故选D项。
14．B　词义猜测题。根据第四段画线词前的“Researchers found that if people have hobbies similar to what they do at work and that they do in an intense way，their on-the-job confidence can suffer. It’s likely because their work and leisure time have the same mental and physical demands...”可知，所以他们总是觉得筋疲力尽。故画线词的意思是“筋疲力尽”。故选B项。
15．C　细节理解题。根据第五段“In contrast，people who have hobbies different from their work are happier and healthier. This is also true of those who choose a similar hobby but only participate in a light-hearted way.”可知，人们如何从与工作相似的爱好中获益是把参加这些活动当作玩。故选C项。

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。
Anyone who knows me well would see me as an optimist.__16__ This was the case for me on a particularly cold January day.
I felt exhausted by the painful challenges I was dealing with in my personal life.__17__ — The gray sky blocked even a single ray of sunlight.
About midway through the day，I left work to get some lunch. Still feeling negative，I noticed that the sun had come out for a moment. I began to think about my negative attitude and reminded myself that I was responsible for choosing my state of mind.__18__ Even though I reminded myself of this truth，I couldn’t make the change.
As I stopped at a red light，I looked at the car in front of mine. The personalized license plate caught my eye — It read “SUNZOUT”. This brought an immediate smile to my face.__19__ And in the midst of the longest，darkest，coldest winter，this in itself was a blessing. But then my eyes moved to the car that was next to the SUNZOUT vehicle. The license plate on that car read “GROUCH”. This brought more than a smile to my face as I laughed out loud! Seeing the two opposite license plates at that exact moment in time strengthened my previous recognition of my ability to choose my attitude. __20__
I returned to work and shared my story with several co-workers who responded with warm laughter at what I refer to as my “message from beyond”. I learned that day that when we’re feeling too discouraged to bring ourselves out of an active state，relief is only a prayer away!
A．The weather seemed to match my mood.
B．Pessimists think the opposite way，however.
C．However，even optimists can temporarily lose hope.
D．It felt like a reminder that the sun was shining after all.
E．Do you think that the sunshine will spread throughout your life
F．I felt my spirit lift as I made the decision to choose a positive attitude.
G．While I could not ignore the pain I was going through，I could choose to think positively.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己有一天情绪低落，当看到两个截然相反的个性车牌时心情转变的故事。
16．C　前一句说“任何了解我的人都会认为我是一个乐观主义者”，后一句又说“在一个特别寒冷的一月里我就是这样”。由此可知，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句。C项“即使是乐观主义者也可能暂时失去希望。”符合语境。
17．A　根据本空后的“The gray sky blocked even a single ray of sunlight. ”可知，灰暗的天空甚至没有一缕阳光，故A项“天气似乎很合我的心情。”符合语境。
18．G　根据本空前的“I began to think about my negative attitude and reminded myself that I was responsible for choosing my state of mind.”可知，“我”开始思考“我”的消极态度，并提醒自己，“我”有责任选择“我”的心态。G项“虽然我不能忽视我正在经历的痛苦，但我可以选择积极地思考。”可承接上文。
19．D　根据本空前的“This brought an immediate smile to my face. ”可知，这使“我”的脸上立刻露出了笑容。 D项“感觉这车牌在提醒自己： 阳光毕竟是灿烂的。”符合语境。
20．F　根据本空前的“Seeing the two opposite license plates at that exact moment in time strengthened my previous recognition of my ability to choose my attitude. ”可知，此处承接上文，讲的是积极的态度对自己的影响。F项“当我决定选择一种积极的态度时，我感到精神振奋。”符合语境。

21．D　句意：与他们中的大多数人不同，这位25岁的年轻人全职从事这项工作。根据后文“She and her husband have spent the last two years travelling the world，stopping everywhere from Paris to Singapore(在过去的两年里，她和她的丈夫周游世界，从巴黎到新加坡，到处都有停留).”可知，这位25岁的年轻人全职从事这项工作。故选D项。

27．A　句意：这两位旅行者仔细地计划他们的旅行，围绕着有时很难取悦的宠物安排他们的日子。根据宾语“their trips”可知，指计划旅行，应用plan。故选A项。
28．D　句意：同上题。根据上文“the pets that are sometimes difficult to”可知，指某些宠物很难照管。故选D项。
29．B　句意：但照看房子也能提供一种在酒店里找不到的舒适感。后文提到像住在朋友家，可见照看房子也能提供一种在酒店里找不到的舒适感。故选B项。

第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
I have just received a letter from my old school，36．________(inform) me that my former headmaster，Mr Stuart Page，will be retiring next week. Pupils of the school，old and new，will be sending him a present to mark the occasion. All those 37．________ have contributed towards the gift will sign their names in a large album which will 38．________(send) to the headmaster’s home. We shall all remember Mr Page for his 39．________(patient) and understanding and for the kindly encouragement he gave us when we went so 40．________(willingly) to school. A great many former pupils will be attending a farewell dinner in his honour next Thursday. 41．________ is a curious coincidence(巧合) that the day before his retirement，Mr Page will have been teaching 42．________ a total of forty years. After he has retired，he will devote himself to 43．________(garden). For him，this will be an 44．________(entire) new hobby. But this does not matter，for，as he has often remarked，one is never too old 45．________(learn).
【语篇解读】前校长斯图尔特·佩奇先生将于下周退休，这所学校的新老学生将送给他一份礼物来纪念这一时刻。所有人在一个相册中签名并把它送到校长的家里，以感谢他给予大家鼓励。
36．informing　考查现在分词。逗号后面应该用非谓语动词，inform与前面的letter构成逻辑上的主谓关系，因此用动词-ing形式。
37．who　考查关系代词。先行词是those，定语从句引导词用who。
38．be sent　考查被动语态。album与send是被动关系。
39．patience　考查名词。形容词性物主代词his的后面应该用名词。
40．unwillingly　考查副词。根据语境“当我们不愿意上学的时候，老校长鼓励我们……”可知，因此应该是willingly的反义词。
41．It　考查代词。It作形式主语，后面that引导主语从句。
42．for　考查介词。空格后面 “a total of forty years”是一段时间，因此答案用for。
43．gardening　考查动词-ing形式。 “devote oneself to”是固定结构，to是介词，后面应该用动词-ing形式。
44．entirely　考查副词。修饰形容词new，应该用副词形式，“全新的爱好”。
45．to learn　考查不定式。 “never too old to do”是固定搭配，意为“学无止境”。

Moreover，we’re going to gain the opportunity to experience the planting process. After that，we can pick some organic vegetables，such as tomatoes，cucumbers and so on.

(2023山东泰安市一中高二测试)A farmer grew some vegetables in his garden. One day his wife was ill and he had no money. He had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market. The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to the town. But it was snowing hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out，it was dark. He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.
On his way home he saw a person lying in the snow. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly，without taking the baskets with him.
The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets，an officer asked，“Are these yours？”“Yes，sir，” the farmer answered timidly(胆怯地). “Have you killed the man？”“No，no，sir，” the farmer said in a hurry. “When did you see the dead man？” “About seven last evening.” “Did you see who killed the man？” “No，sir.” The officer brought out a knife and asked，“Have you seen it yet？” “No，sir.” The officer became angry and told a policeman to beat him up and send him into prison. The officer wanted to trap the farmer into confession(供认)，but the farmer didn’t admit he was the murderer.
