第二节(满分 25 分)
Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation. Jenny didn't answer. How could she explain about the watch and its magic No one could understand. No one could believe. “But I saw you wearing it yesterday,” Miss Walker gently reminded him. For a moment Lee remained silent and then he apologized he had just remembered that. Jenny was relieved saying she had found it on the way home and decided to return it after the speech. Everybody was puzzled and asked why. Jenny again was speechless.
At that point, Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech first. Jenny walked slowly to the front. She couldn't think properly. All round her, a sea of faces was watching. She felt so frightened and the watch didn't seem magical at all. Suddenly she saw Miss Walker's encouraging eyes. Jenny took a deep breath. “I'm going to talk about swimming...”Ten minutes later the whole class stood up applauding Jenny’s wonderful speech. Jenny smiled as she eventually realized the real source of confidence.

Three years ago my husband bought me a bicycle. If you live in a town, it is often faster than a car and you don't have to worry about parking. You can leave it in any place you like. As it has a seat at the back and a basket at the front, I can use it to take my little daughter to school and the library, and I can go shopping any place I want. I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can be very unpleasant in winter, though, when the weather is cold and rainy. It can also be very dangerous. You should be careful on a bicycle, of course. Accidents are not the only problem. One day I went shopping and came back to find that my front wheel was missing. It was a long walk to the bicycle shop! Now I have three strong locks.
My husband uses my bicycle sometimes for outings. He is not very good at riding it, but he says it is still better than waiting for a bus. He still likes driving best, even if I think sitting down all day in a car is having a bad effect on his health. On my bicycle I get a lot of exercise and fresh air, and riding makes me feel a lot younger.德阳市高中 2022 级第三学期教学质量监测考试

Quick Facts about the Beijing Subway
The Beijing Subway is the world's second-largest subway system by route and length, following the Shanghai Metro.

Beijing Subway Tickets Price

The prices of Beijing subway tickets are based on distance traveled, starting from 3 yuan for the first 6 kilometers (4 miles) except the Airport Express.

When people wanted to find their way to a place in the past, they used to have to buy a map. They don't have to do that any more. Now they can either buy a GPS, or go online and find maps for just about anywhere.
Is this an improvement Perhaps, but some people think some of the online companies are going too far, because they have been sending out cars with photographic equipment on their roofs, to photograph every street and house in the country.
One of these cars arrived on a Wednesday morning in the quiet English village of Broughton. The camera was on a metre-high pole on top of the car and could see over walls and into people's gardens. Some of the villagers came and stood around the car, and asked the driver and photographer to go away. Journalists quickly arrived on the scene, and soon the event was news all over the country.
Of course, the online company in question claims that it is simply collecting information that people on the Internet want. But Broughton residents feel differently. “We used to have privacy in this country. Now companies just come. and take photographs of our homes without even asking,” said one resident. “It's not right. We mustn't let this happen. We mustn't lose our right to live privately.”
There is, of course, no law to prevent people from taking photographs of houses, so the residents cannot go to court. But many people are asking the question: OK, it's legal, but is it right This is a question that won't go away very quickly.
24. Why did the car with a camera on the car roof come to Broughton
A. To test whether their GPS works in the village.
B. To investigate for a law case for the country.
C. To spy on villagers and their life in Broughton.
D. To collect information for their online maps.
25. What can be inferred about the incident in Broughton
A. The incident drew people's attention all over the world.
B. The incident made online maps popular among the local residents.
C. The local residents were curious about what these people were doing.
D. The local residents were upset about their privacy not being respected.
26. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The law should be changed to protect the residents.
B. The incident will remain a hot topic for people to discuss.
C. The residents accept what the company was doing in their neighborhood.
D. The residents can sue(控告) the company for violating their privacy.
27. What can be the best title of the passage
A. A strange car! B. It's legal, but is it right
C. Say goodbye to paper maps. D. Privacy gives way to technology.
C
There are two ways to forget about troubles in life: music and cats.
At the Hey Cat Cafe in Wuhan, Hubei Province, you can have both. About 30 furry creatures, each wearing a red burp cloth with its name on it, welcome and “serve” the guests. The “employees” are all stray(流浪的) black. cats, most of whom were rescued by caring people after being abandoned by their owners.
Opened in September 2021, the cafe is one of the first nonprofit cat cafes in China. Manager Du Fan told China Daily that all the profits are used to help homeless animals.
The 41-year-old said he opened the black cat cafe to dispel(消除) the myth that such cats are “inauspicious”, as described in some movies and TV dramas Over the past 17 years, a lot of people have come to Du to ad opt cats, but many said they didn't want black cats. “Actually, in traditional Chinese culture, black cats can drive away evil spirits and bring luck. They should be mascots(吉祥物),” he said. So are black cats as reserved and mysterious as folk tales suggest Well, perhaps not.
Hearing two young women open the door, six or so passionate “cafe workers” waited and greeted them. When the visitors sat down, one cat rubbed against the bottom of one woman's pants, while another climbed onto her knee. Some of the cats simply fell asleep against the guests ’legs.
While these cats are rescued, they also help people with developmental or social anxiety disorders learn to open their hearts. “Cats possess certain qualities that humans don’t have, ”Du added. “Many people with psychological problems can find comfort in cats.”
28. How do the cats “serve” guests at the Hey Cat Cafe
A. They can bring coffee to customers. B. They can really serve the guests.
C. They can help reduce people's anxiety. D. They can wear a red burp cloth.
29. Which of the following words can best describe Du Fan, the owner of the cafe
A. Loving and charitable. B. Cat-addicted and strange.
C. Creative and modest. D. Moody and generous.
30. What does the underlined word “inauspicious” most probably mean
A. Stupid. B. Lovely. C. Unlucky. D. Lazy.
31. What's the purpose of the passage
A. To make an introduction to a cat cafe.
B. To call on people to protect homeless animals.
C. To inform people that black cats can be mascots.
D. To introduce what people can do with homeless cats.
D
Five months ago, a new species of box jellyfish was discovered in Hong Kong. It is a relative of the deadly Australian box jellyfish, one of the most venomous(有毒的) animals on Earth. One sting(刺伤) from it can kill a person in minutes.
A university team in Hong Kong, led by Qiu Jianwen from the Hong Kong Baptist University, discovered it at the Mai Po Nature Reserve, a local wetland area. It was the first discovery of a new box jellyfish species in Chinese waters.
But it's not the first time bi ology professor Qiu has discovered a new creature. He's made more than 30 discoveries in about 20 years spent exploring new marine(海洋的)an mals.
Qiu doesn't go looking for new species on purpose. In 2014, he did research on the health of coral in Hong Kong waters. To learn more, Qiu and his team needed to find all of the coral species involved. And in doing so, they discovered four new coral species.
Finding new species reminds Qiu of how biologically diverse Hong Kong's waters are. Hong Kong takes up just 0.03 percent of China's total marine area, yet it is home to more than 25 percent of all marine species recorded in China, a report by the University of Hong Kong showed.
However, Hong Kong's marine animals face threats, due to factors including habitat loss, climate change and overuse of natural resources.
Although action is being taken, it focuses more on bigger creatures, like dolphins and birds. “Many marine species are small and they are often overlooked. If these species were to become extinct, few people would notice or care. But for me, each one has its rightful place,” said Qiu.
He hopes everyone can recognize the importance of the ocean. “When more people show concern for the ocean, we are, in fact, acting for our own benefit,” he said.
32. Where was the new species of box jellyfish found
A. In a university lab of HK. B. In the ocean of Australia.
C. In a nature reserve of HK. D. In a wetland of Australia.
33. What was Qiu's task in 2014
A. To find new species of coral for the study.
B. To study the health condition of coral.
C. To study the living environment of coral.
D. To find all coral species in the world.
34. What can we know about the marine animals in HK
A. All of them are dying out.
B. No action is being taken to protect them.
C. Habitat loss is the biggest threat to them.
D. Some of them were discovered by chance.
35. What can be inferred according to the last two paragraphs
A. Small marine species aren't protected as they deserve.
B. Bigger creatures like dolphins and birds should be better protected.
C. People are now taking action to better protect small marine species.
D. More and more people are aware of the extinction of small marine species.

It was time to go home. “Remember to work on your class speeches for homework,” Miss Walker called, as everyone started talking and packing their schoolbags. Jenny felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee's watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn't want to run after him. Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I'm going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I've won lots of competitions. But when I'm in a race, I'm not really thinking about winning. I'm just loving the feeling of being in the water...”Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee's watch really did have something magic about it.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She's stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily. “It went missing at school yesterday.”
