Dear David,
My name is Li Hua, one of the students you taught during the summer holidays. I'm writing to thank you for teaching us English.
We know you come a long way from the US,and this is the first time that you have volunteered in China. I would like to tell you that all of us enjoy your teaching very much. We have not only learned how to speak English through various activities, but also learned a lot about western cultures, which benefits us a lot. We have begun to love learning English because your class is so interesting and lively. Thanks to your hard work,we spent a meaningful summer holiday. All the students and their parents are thankful to you for your hard work. We do hope you can come and visit us in the future.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
The contest day arrived in the end and all the students gathered on the playground. Paul, who ever said he was the strongest, did throw his airplane farther than many others.Then it was Brian's turn. Though having made full preparations, he could still hear his heart beating wildly. With all his strength, he threw the plane. It kept flying, farther and farther.All the viewers held their breath and couldn't believe their eyes—the landing position was 3meters past Paul’s.With the crowd cheering, Mr Moose announced that Brian was the winner.
Excitedly, Brian got the prize from Mr Moose’s hand and all the students clapped their hands for him. Then Mr Moose asked Brian to share his experience. Never had he spoken in front of so many people, so his voice trembled a bit at first, “I just did lots of experiments, compared various results,and then chose the design that flew the farthest.” Gradually, he became confident, “I believe that as long as you think hard and put your idea into practice, you can succeed.” Thunderous applause burst out once again.民勤一中 2023-2024 学年度第二学期高一年级开学考试试卷

A
In the field of education technology, some apps might be getting too smart. There are
more and more apps providing help for students.
PhotoMath
The new, seemingly magic app allows users to take pictures of a math problem, and
then receive a step-by-step solution. It is now the number one free app on the App Store.
A PhotoMath spokeswoman says educators have welcomed the app with positive reviews,
but the software causes a lot of angry public discussion and disagreement. Why It is
because students can use it to cheat when doing their math homework.
iHomework
Whether you're a high school student or a college student, there's one thing you've
got for sure: a lot of homework. iHomework can help you keep track of all your
homework. It can help you arrange it in a particular order according to types, or based
on deadlines.
Homework Helper
Chinese Internet search company Baidu has launched an app called Homework
Helper with which students can get answers to homework. Users post a picture or type
their homework questions onto online forum(论坛), and those who answer the questions
can win e-coins that can be used to buy devices like laptops. The app has logged 5
million downloads, much to the concern of many parents who argue that the students
spend less time thinking about challenging problems.
WolframAlpha
WolframAlpha is similar to PhotoMath,but it focuses on older students studying high
levels of math and doesn't support photos.The service also produces step-by-step
solutions to advanced topics, making it a popular tool for college students.
21. What is the public's worry about the app PhotoMath
{#{QQABQYAAgggAABIAAAgCUwVICgOQkBGAAKoOgEAEsAAByQFABAA=}#}
A. It can't recognize pictures.
B. It doesn't provide a step-by-step solution.
C. It makes cheating at homework more likely to happen.
D. It encourages students to use smart phones more frequently.
22. What can we learn about Homework Helper
A. It is thought highly of by teachers.
B. It is unpopular among Chinese students.
C. Many parents think it harmful to children's study.
D. Answering questions on the app wastes students' time.
23. Which app is the best choice if you want to deal with advanced math problems
A. PhotoMath. B. iHomework. C. Homework Helper. D. WolframAlpha.
B
The first essay I wrote for my history of English class was perfect, at least from my
view. I had worked on it constantly and couldn't wait to get my grade back. I handed it in
with pride.
Two weeks later, I received my grade: a D. The pages were covered in red writing
pointing out errors.There must have been a mistake.
University started later for me than most. The opportunity wasn't available(可获得
的）when I was younger----too many kids in our family and too little money. But I never
stopped wondering what university would have been like. I was in my 40s when I sent in
my application and became a part-time student, and I will be in my 60s before I'm
finished. That's my goal.
What's it like to be the old guy in a class full of 20-year-olds I's strange. They pretty
much ignored me, and I ignored them. They also ignored each other. However, after we
had more group work together, people started to communicate. Although I was an
English major, some of my favorite classes were unrelated electives（选修课）. Courses in
art history and Greek and Roman history were fascinating. I was eager to do well.
I arranged a meeting to discuss my essay grade and arrived 10 minutes early to meet
the teacher's assistant. I was ready to argue for the brilliance of my paper. However, she
quickly explained to me that the paper failed to make a strong argument. The mark
remained.
While I kept studying and kept learning, I learned to love two dozen writers I had
never heard of before and explored types of literature I had never examined. Eventually, I
learned how to write an essay in proper academic prose(散文）.
University is different when you are a senior, part-time student. If you are there
because you want to establish a career or because your parents force you to go, there are
other pressures. For me, it's just learning. Whether I’m learning remotely or in person,
it makes the world a bigger and richer place.
24. How did the writer feel after seeing the grade of his first essay
A. Hopeless. B. Pleased. C. Excited. D. Surprised.
25. Why did the writer start university later than others
A. His application was refused. В. His teacher disliked his essay.
C. His was in poor health. D. His family was not rich enough.
26. What helped the writer in writing a proper academic essay
{#{QQABQYAAgggAABIAAAgCUwVICgOQkBGAAKoOgEAEsAAByQFABAA=}#}
A. Strong curiosity. B. Constant efforts.
C. Great pressure. D. Remarkable creativity.
27. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Practice Makes Perfect B. Not All That Shines Is Gold
C. Where There Is a Will, There Is a Way D. Action Speaks Louder Than Words
C
It's hard to turn down hamburgers, french fries, potato chips and all of the other
junk food that seem to call out to us.However,eating too much junk food can harm your
body,particularly if you're a teenager.
“Junk food shapes teenager's brains in ways that damage their ability to think,
learn and remember.It can also make it harder to control bad behaviors,”said Amy
Reichelt, a brain and nutrition specialist at Western University, Canada.“It may even up
a teen's possibility of depression and anxiety.”
Reichelt and two other researchers reviewed more than 100studies, including their
own,about how poor food choices can impact teen's brains.They found teens are more
sensitive(敏感的)than any other age group to processed foods with a lot of fat and sugar
as their brains are not yet fully formed.
Teenagers' brains are still developing the ability to assess bad possibilities and
control actions.The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that tells us we shouldn't eat
chips all the time and helps us resist (抵制)that urge. However,this region is the last to
mature(成熟)—it doesn't fully develop until we are in our early 20s.
So,what's the best way to say no to junk food Researchers suggest exercise. When
we exercise,the brain's reward system becomes less sensitive to food reminder. Exercise
also causes the body to make a protein that helps brain cells grow and strengthens
connections between the prefrontal cortex and other brain regions.The prefrontal cortex
thus can work better to help us make wise decisions and control our impulses.
28.According to the text, junk food does the greatest harm to .
A.Preschoolers B.Teenagers C.The middle-aged D.The elderly
29.What does the underlined word“It”in paragraph 2 refer to
A.Junk food. B.The brain. C.The research. D.The ability.
30.What can be inferred from the text
A.Processed foods shouldn't be allowed to produce.
B.Teenagers don't understand the harm of junk food.
C.The prefrontal cortex can help us make wise decisions.
D.The prefrontal cortex develops fully in our late 20s.
31.What's the main idea of the last paragraph
A.Where do our impulses come from
B.Why should we fight against junk food
C.What is the best way to strengthen our body
D.How does exercise work against junk food
D
While video games used to be considered harmful to young people,various studies
have also proved the positive effects of computer games, especially action video games.
Angela Pasqualotto from Trento and her team have now tested whether such video
{#{QQABQYAAgggAABIAAAgCUwVICgOQkBGAAKoOgEAEsAAByQFABAA=}#}
games can help primary school children learn to read. They've developed such a
computer game called Skies of Manawak.
“Reading involves many important skills, including knowing how to move our eyes
on the page and how to use our working memory to connect words into a meaningful
sentence,” explains Pasqualotto. “It's known that action video games improve these
skills, such as vision,working memory and cognitive(认知的)flexibility.”
For their study, the researchers tested 150 school children between the ages of eight
and twelve. Half of them played the game Skies of Manawak two hours a week for six
weeks. The other half received the educational game Scratch, which will teach children
the basics of programming. Both will train the executive(执行的)functions of the brain.
“We started by examining the children's ability to read words,non-words and
paragraphs and their attention control,”explains Pasqualotto. “After six weeks,these
skills were tested again.”
“We found a sevenfold(七倍的） improvement in attention control in the children
who played our action video game compared to the control group,” says Pasqualotto.
The team also saw significant improvements in reading speed and accuracy—there were
no improvements in the kids who played Scratch. It's also worth mentioning that the
children's reading skills have improved,although the game doesn't contain any reading
exercises.
“For the study,we also carried out three further evaluation tests six,twelve and
eighteen months after the training. Each time,the trained children performed better than
the control group,”adds Pasqualotto.
Of course,while the study suggests some benefit in action video games, it does not
mean that one must do nothing else.
32.What did the 150 school children do in the study
A.They received training on programming.
B.They finished some reading ability tests.
C.They created video games on their own.
D.They played games with reading exercises.
33.What do the further evaluation tests suggest about Skies of Manawak
A.Its influence on reading skills is not temporary.
B.The study results about it seem to be untrustworthy.
C.Reading ability can't be improved with its help.
D.Kids need consistent reading training after playing it.
34.What is the author's opinion on action video games
A.They have nothing to do with reading.
B.People shouldn't get addicted to them,
C.School kids are supposed to avoid them.
D.They should be replaced with Scratch.
35.What does the author intend to tell us
A.Video games prove harmless to young people at school.
B.Time for children to play video games should be limited.
C.Children easily fall in love with reading in a video game,
D.Playing action video games improves kids' reading skills.

Ways to Sleep Smarter
Studies show that poor sleep influences people to make good decisions, focus
on work and even manage a friendly mood at work. 36 . Today we’ve got
four top favorite sleep tips and facts.
Set a regular bedtime
37 .Choose a time when you normally feel tired. Try not to break this
routine on weekends when you will probably stay up late. If you want to change
your bedtime, make the change gradually, such as 15 minutes earlier or later each
day.
Eat the right food.
Some foods are more helpful to a better night’s sleep than
others. 38 .Others like bananas, potatoes, and whole-wheat bread are also
helpful.
39
Exercising provides lots of good health benefits. A good night’s sleep is one of
them. But make sure you exercise in the morning or afternoon. The National Sleep
Foundation reports that exercise in the morning or afternoon can help deepen
sleep and cut the time it takes for you to fall into sleep. However, those who
worked out in the evening hours saw little or no improvement in their sleep.
Reduce (减少) screen time before bed
40 . A recent study shows that people who use electronic media just
before bedtime report lower-quality sleep even when they get as much sleep as
those who don’t.
A．Avoid the alarm clock
B．Exercise to improve sleep
C．Try to solve problems in your sleep
D．Go to bed at the same time every night
E．There are lots of ways to better your sleep
F．Everybody knows that warm milk helps people sleep better
G．Stop watching TV just before bedtime and you’ll sleep better

those around me. So smile!

strongest.And I will be able to throw my airplane the farthest.”
However, another student, Brian, was thinking how he could win. He did not play
any sports and was not very strong. But he loved airplanes and really wanted to win the
contest.
Brian knew what he had to do. He went to the store and bought a big pile of paper.
