During this time,the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while
sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep,each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep ,your
muscles relax little by little.Your heart beats more slowly,and your brain slows down. After you reach
the fourth level,your body adjusts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep
state that when dreaming occurs,your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are
closed). This stage of sleep is called REM,which stands for rapid eye movement.
If you have trouble falling asleep,some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people
believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that
counting sheep will put you to sleep!
25. A good title for this passage is .
A. Sleep B. Dreams C. Good Health D. Work and Rest
26. The underlined word “drowsy” in the last paragraph means .
A. sick B. asleep C. stand up D. a little sleepy

A 63-year-old Chinese grandpa’s traditional carpentry skills are delighting tens of millions of
viewers online as he creates woodwork without glue, screws or nails.
The Chinese master carpenter, Wang Dewen, known as “Grandpa Amu” on YouTube, has been
honored as the modern day Lu Ban, a famous Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty,
thanks to his vast carpentry knowledge. One of his videos, which shows him making a fantastic wooden
arch bridge, went viral on the platform, gaining more than 42 million views.
Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese technique, which means no nails or glue are involved in
2023级高二第一学期阶段（一）英语试题 第 5 页 共 12页
{#{QQABLQQAggAAQpAAAAgCAwF4CAMQkBGACSgGgBAEMAIAiRFABCA=}#}
the entire process of building the arch bridge. Grandpa Amu has also made several wooden toys for his
grandson using the same technique. He created a folding stool (凳子 ) that looked like the China
pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo.“A block of wood transforms into a stool. Genius,” a YouTube
user named Rey commented under the video.
Li Ziqi, who lives in a picturesque village of southwest China’s Sichuan Province, has made a
name for herself by making various Chinese dishes on YouTube since 2016. In her videos, she
gracefully works as a farmer, impressing viewers with her understanding of food, nature and Chinese
culture while showcasing the charm of Chinese culture in every detail of daily life. Her traditional food
preparation craft and Chinese rural lifestyle have attracted 11.1 million subscribers on YouTube. Just
like Li Ziqi, Grandpa Amu is also trying to spread unique Chinese techniques to the world.
Grandpa Amu’s son and daughter-in-law now work full time on his videos, hoping that the
channel’s popularity would help local villagers better sell their farm produce.“ We came up with the
idea of making the videos because we wanted to bring our rural culture to others and let people learn
about these ancient Chinese techniques,” said Huang Chunmei, Grandpa Amu’s daughter-in-law, in an
interview with South China Morning Post.
29. What does the underlined word “viral” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. infected B. popular C. crazy D. famous
30. What do we know from the passage
A. The video of making a folding stool amazed the viewers.
B. Grandpa Amu uses a variety of techniques to create woodwork.
C. Lu Ban was good at doing carpentry without glue, screws or nails.
D. Grandpa Amu uses no tools in the entire process of creating woodwork.
31. Why does the author mention Li Ziqi in paragraph 4
A. To help readers better understand the work of being a farmer.
B. To provide another example of a farmer being famous through internet.
C. To prove the popularity of Chinese rural lifestyle nowadays.
D. To show their common intention of spreading Chinese culture to the world.
32. What is the text probably from
A. An agricultural magazine. B. A news report.

We must face the fact that there are many aspects of the information age. All information makes us
anxious. Over some of these, we have little or no control. On the other hand, there are steps we can take
to cut out much of 38 . We might say, then, that survival in the information age is a challenging yet

To some extent, we are all receivers and givers of information. Our brain, however, receives and
processes information in different ways. One way involves the amazing capacity of the brain to process
information subconsciously.
Another way involves 40 processing of information such as during conversation. We have a
great deal of control over this type of information processing — both as givers and receivers. If we
allow ourselves to talk about tiny things or even harmful information, valuable time and 41 can be
wasted. Meanwhile this can make us and others anxious. You may lose opportunities to absorb and
spread information that is truly useful for 42 in this world.
Information gathered by reading is processed consciously and 43 takes longest. The written
word is still the most powerful way of 44 imagination and expressing information, ideas, and
concept.
How can we 45 so much information from various sources, such as reading material, TV

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.
The prize may go to the fastest, but sometimes, the first one to cross the finish line isn’t the only
winner. Nowhere was that more true than at a recent 5K invitational (邀请赛) in Shelbyville, Indiana.
There were two players in the match: Levi LaGrange and Axel Aleman, who hadn’t known each
other before. Levi LaGrange, an 18-year-old student from Western Boone High School, has been
expecting to be a professional sportsman for many years. Axel Aleman, who is from Sheridan High
School, is a friendly and generous person and he is always more concerned about others than himself.
Axel once said to his classmates, “When you are standing at a crossroad, you can choose the path of
2023级高二第一学期阶段（一）英语试题 第 10 页 共 12页
{#{QQABLQQAggAAQpAAAAgCAwF4CAMQkBGACSgGgBAEMAIAiRFABCA=}#}
self-interest, or you can go the extra mile for someone in need. As a teen athlete, the choice is extremely
clear.”
The game went very well at first. However, with less than half a mile to go, Levi LaGrange slipped,
twisting his ankle. He said, “I was running up the little rolling hill and I hurt my ankle. I felt something
was wrong with my ankle.”
Levi stopped and signed to Axel to pass him. Generally, winning a match should be the mission for
a sportsman, But at that moment, the race became a secondary concern for Axel. “I was able to see he
was in a lot of pain,” Axel recalled. “As I got closer to him, he narrowly fell down. I asked if he was all
right. He said he felt like something broken in his leg.”
Rather than running ahead, in an extraordinary act of true sportsmen, Axel refused to leave Levi
behind. “As soon as I saw him, I knew I had to do something,” Axel said. “It just seemed like the right
thing to do. That mattered more than the race. I told him I wasn’t going to leave. I wanted to help him
finish the match.”
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。

【答案】参考范文：
Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua, an exchange student from China. Learning that volunteer students are wanted for a Chinese painting
exhibition, I am writing to apply for the position.
I think I am quite equal to the post. To begin with, having learned Chinese painting since a young age helps me develop
a deep understanding of this unique art form. This makes it possible for me to explain the techniques and background of a
certain painting. Besides, being fluent in both English and Chinese enables me to communicate with others without difficulty.
I would be grateful if you could take my application into consideration. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
Minutes later, Axel walked closer to Levi. Axel picked Levi up and encouraged him to hold on to the end. Placing an
encouraging hand at his competitor’s back, Axel remained with Levi for the remainder of the race. They advanced side by
side, with eyes looking at the finish line. They even sang a song to cheer each other up. Eventually, the two crossed the finish
line within seconds of one another. Axel even made sure Levi went first. To their surprise, the event organizer announced that
they were both winners together.
Paragraph 2:
Axel gained a lot from the incident. In the following days, Axel received lots of positive comments now and then. While
he might have enjoyed the praise for his kindness, for him, the best harvest was the friendship with Levi. We might not
always recognize when life hands us an opportunity to help others, but when it really does, we should take action. Axel said,
“I would just really hope people do the right thing.” Yes, we should do that, not for others, but for ourselves.

sunglasses anyway
M: I’m going on a road trip with Sarah and Anna this afternoon. We are going to the national park to look at birds. (15)
Anna is really good at art. She does drawings of the animals she sees. And our teacher likes her drawings a lot.
W: Sarah’s always driving you guys around. (16) Her car is sure getting a lot of use. I hope you’re going to give her
some money for taking you. (16)
M: I’ll bring food and drinks for the three of us.

off your cameras. Most importantly, please do not touch any of the art! The oils on your hands will damage these ancient
objects!
