At present, the General Office of the Ministry of Education has issued a policy on strengthening the management of mobile phones for primary and secondary school students. The notice makes it clear that students are not allowed to bring their mobile phones into the campus.
In my opinion, this rule can have a very positive effect on students. Without mobile phones, they are more focused on their studies. In the case of less Internet access, the negative news in the society will greatly reduce their impact, which is beneficial to their forming a positive attitude towards life.

One possible version:
Fortunately, through his constant efforts, Kuo finally identified where Compean was. Kuo breathed a sigh of relief and called rescue teams at once, telling them the exact location of the poor man. The instant the research teams got the information, a flood of joy took possession of them and at the same time they immediately made thoughtful arrangements before beginning their search and rescue again. Soon, a helicopter hovered above Compean with the help of Kuo. After spending a long time alone in the wild, Compean was eventually saved.
Days later, knowing Kuo helped locate him, Com pean decided to thank him in person. So he got in touch with Kuo，deciding where they would meet. During their meeting, Compean thanked Kuo in a trembling voice,“Thank you very much. Without you, I wouldn’t have survived. I owe my life to you.” “It’s not a big deal. I just did what I could do. You know I like exploring where photos are taken,” said Kuo with a comforting smile spreading across his face. Warm current of kindness flowing into their hearts, they chatted just like old friends.乌鲁木齐市实验学校高一期末考试

A city is rising from the waters of the Indian Ocean. In a lagoon (泄湖),just 10 minutes by boat from Malé, the Maldivian capital, a floating (漂浮) city, big enough to house 20,000 people, is being constructed (建造)。
Designed in a pattern (模式) similar to brain coral (脑珊瑚),the city will consist of 5.000 floating units including houses, restaurants, shops and schools, with rivers running in between. Residents start to move in by early 2024, and the whole city is due to be completed by 2027. The project is not meant as a wild experiment: it’s being built as a practical solution to the reality of sea level rise.
Containing 1.190 low-lying islands, the Maldives is one of the world’s weakest nations to climate change. Eighty percent of its land area is less than one metre above sea level, and with sea level projected to rise up to a metre by the end of the century, almost the entire country would go under the water.
The units are constructed in a local shipyard, then pulled to the floating city. Once in position, they are joined to a large underwater concrete frame which is fixed to the seabed on telescopic (可伸缩的) steel poles that let it gently flow with the waves.
Koen Olthuis, founder of Waterstudio, the company that designed the city, said that the possible environmental effect of the structure was assessed by local coral experts and permitted by government authorities before construction began. The aim is for the city to be self-sufficient and have all the functions as one on land. There will be electricity powered mainly by solar energy. As an alternative to air conditioning, the city will use deep sea water cooling, which involves pumping cold water from the deep sea into the lagoon, helping to save energy.
11. What is the purpose of building the floating city
A. To develop its tourism. B. To get more living space.
C. To perform a wild experiment. D. To deal with the rising sea level.
12. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The feature of the city. B. The location of the city.
C. The construction process of the city. D. The building materials of the city.
13. Where is the electricity mostly produced from
A. Wind energy. B. Solar energy. C. Water energy. D. Wave energy.
14. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. The city is environmentally friendly.
B. The city has no modern equipment.
C. The life of the city is not very convenient.
D. The government authorities love the life here.

You are not alone if a staycation is all you can afford this year. ____15____ You can use the following tips to make a staycation successful.
Don’t check on work chatter. That includes Slack, Teams and other instant messaging options. Put work files out of sight. ____16____ If a supervisor (主管人) is pressuring you to avoid taking your vacation time, report it to human resources.

Look for free events. If you’re staying local, search for free events, concerts, movies or other activities you can do on the cheap.

46. 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。
Compean was no stranger to Angeles National Forest. He ’d hiked the park near his home in Southern California many times. But after exploring along a new path last April, the 45-year-old mechanic was lost.
As the day faded into dusk，following several hours of aimless wandering, his concern turned to fear. The place was remote and rough. With no flashlight, only a liter of water and a power bar in his backpack, and less than ten percent battery remaining on his cell phone,
Compean was unprepared for anything more than the two-hour hike he ’d pean climbed to a spot, some 7,000 feet above sea level, where he found at least one bar of signal. “SOS. My phone is going to die. I’m lost,” he texted a friend, attaching a photo showing where he was. The picture showed his legs surrounded by an endless landscape of rocks and plants.
All Compean could do then was wait and hope. The temperature was dropping fast, and the wind was blowing violently. Not wearing too much, the hiker was shaking with cold. He hugged himself into a tight ball, using his backpack to protect his legs from the cold wind. But he wouldn’t sleep. After spotting two mountain lions and a bear, he spent the night awake, keeping a big stick and some sharp rocks beside him in case an animal came close.
The rescue teams had spent the previous night unsuccessfully looking for Compean, so they posted the photo to the public, hoping someone might know the location.
Ben, a worker in a tech industry, who has an unusual hobby of exploring where photos are ta ken, happened to see the photo. So he immediately pulled up a satellite map on his laptop. Based on the information that Compean’s car was parked near Buckhorn Campground, he narrowed his search to the surrounding area.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Fortunately, through his constant efforts, Ben finally identified where Compean was.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Days later, knowing Ben helped locate him, Compean decided to thank him in person.
