There is a particular sort of box that lurks in every home,full of “memorabilia”.Baby teeth,divorce certificates,spare keys for locks unknown:the whole thing is filled with association,emotion,nostalgia and pain.That box is my doom(劫数).
Because I decide that turning 40,being pregnant and training for a second career aren't enough to be getting on with in a single month,I am also in the lucky position of moving house,which means opening various drawers,boxes,and cupboards,only to discover a pit of painful memory or a terrible mess at every turn.
But listen to me:you can get rid of these things.God,I love throwing things away.Not the irresponsible rush of pouring perfectly usable items into landfill,of course.But taking a box of toys to a charity shop when my son is at school Delicious.Handing out unworn clothes to friends and neighbors Delightful.Recycling early drafts of my book Incredible.Frankly,I hope we willall have better things to do than read through our old notebooks,diaries or letters.So,I put them in the recycling.That sweet unburdening release can cheer me up for the rest of the day.
I grew up in a house where sentimentality was a disease.When our old gas oven broke,my sister made my parents bury it in the garden with a full,flowery ceremony because she wasn't yet ready to say goodbye.My father cries every time he looks at the blanket knitted by his mother—despite the fact that it is on his bed.
In this environment,it was unavoidable that at least one child was going to go the other way.The cuckoo (布谷鸟)in the nest,I developed a strong and early love of getting rid.When the opportunity arises,do I leap at

Can you learn to be funny The short answer is yes.The secret,it turns out,might not be so much about learning to be funny,but returning to being funny.
“Children are funny.They tell stories,and comedy is storytelling,"says Rachel Berger."It's just that as we age,we tend to be driven by a need to impress.We've lost the trick of being completely driven by the need to tell stories."Rachel has been a comedian for over three decades and believes that regaining this instinct(本能) can be incredibly powerful.So how can you do that
Firstly,forget what you've been told about whether you're funny.“People are often told from a very young age that they're not funny,so they believe it,"says Rachel.“Some people are shy and socially awkward,so they're told that they're not funny.Yet some of the best comedians are shy and socially awkward,like Hannah Gadsby and Luke McGregor."
Don't try to be funny.It's one of the first things performer Happy Feraren tells her students."When you try, it's like you've seen someone who's funny on television,and you want to be like that person,therefore you think you need to act like that person,"says Happy.“And I think that totally throws off you the comedy because it's not real."What should you do instead
Happy says a big part of being funny is being comfortable with yourself.“When you're comfortable with yourself,your listening skills heighten a lot,"says Happy.More than memorizing jokes mechanically,learning to be funny is more about developing a type of intuition(直觉)and changing the way you see the world.
For many of us,laughter is the best medicine.Some people believe it's the only thing that can fix a broken heart.And with all the terrible things happening in the world,humor and laughter can bring daily relief.
28.In Rachel's opinion,why do grown-ups often have no sense of humor
A.They think storytelling childish.
B.They get less creative when they age.
C.They don't think being humorous is powerful.
D.They care more about impressing others than telling stories.
29.Why are Hannah Gadsby and Luke McGregor mentioned in Para.3
A.To prove shyness can co-exist with humor.
B.To urge people to learn from them.
C.To encourage people to be outgoing.
D.To show their great success in comedy.
高一英语学科 试题 第4页共8页
30.Which of the following is effective to develop a sense of humor according to Happy
A.Following the examples of comedians on TV.
B.Memorizing as many jokes as you can.
C.Feeling at ease about who you are.
D.Sticking to the way you view the world.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.The Learning ofthe Art of Being Funny
B.The Rediscovery of the Joy of Comedy
C.The Reason for Some People Not Being Funny D.The Benefits of Being Humorous
D
Take a walk down any major beach and it likely won't be long before you come upon some trash.Countless types of plastics litter the world's beaches,eventually making their way into the ocean where they break down over the course of decades or even centuries.Ocean Conservancy estimates that volunteers from 97 countries and regions identified and removed around 4,000 tons of plastic trash from beaches worldwide in 2023.For the most part,spotting the trash still depends on the naked eye and a great deal of walking.But that could one day change thanks to a new satellite imaging technique developed by researchers from RMIT University in Australia.
The team developed a new tool that highlights unique spectra(光谱的)features in plastics.Armed with that knowledge,the researchers were then able to accurately identify plastic items on beaches and distinguish them from sand,water,and plants.The researchers,whose work will be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Marine Pollution Bulletin,are hopeful that coastal cleanup organizations can use this new tool to expedite plastic removal efforts on beaches
"This is incredibly exciting,as up to now we have not had a tool for detecting plastics in coastal environments from space,"said study co-author Maria Soto-Bereciov.
Satellite imagery has,for years,been used to help scientists identify plastics floating in the ocean,but it's far less effective at spotting plastics on beaches.Coastal plastics often blend(混合)in with or are partially buried by sand.And coastal plastic trash can also have serious negative effects on local wildlife."Plastics can be mistaken for food,and animals can be trapped by plastics,"study lead author Jenna Guffogg said.
Those harmful effects aren't limited to life on beaches.If plastics aren't removed,they can often end up going into the ocean where they will slowly break down into smaller pieces.Those tiny plastic pieces are then eaten by fish and work their way up the food chain.Some researchers believe this cycle may even lead to increased cases of microplastics detected in humans.The full extent of the effects of microplastics on human health still isn't fully known.
32.According to the passage,which is true about the traditional way of spotting plastic trash on beaches
A.It depends mainly on satellite imaging.
B.It is highly efficient and accurate.
C.It mostly relies on the naked eye and walking.
D.It can easily distinguish plastic from sand.
33.What does the underlined word "expedite"in paragraph 2 probably mean in the text
A.Slow down B.Make easier and faster
C.Stop completely D.Make more difficult
高一英语学科 试题 第5 页 共 8 页
34.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.Microplastics have no impact on human health at present.
B.Once in the ocean,plastics will never break down.
C.The harm of plastics extends far beyond beach areas.
D.It is easy to prevent plastics from entering the ocean.
35.What can we infer about the author's attitude towards microplastics on the beaches
A.Optimistic B.Indifferent C.Concerned D.Positive

After Heidi had spent some wonderful time with her grandfather on the mountain and brought so much joy and change to those around her,a new chapter was about to unfold.
One sunny morning,as Heidi was helping her grandfather with the goats,a strange carriage came rumbling up the mountain path.Out stepped a wealthy man from the city.He had heard the tales of the remarkable little girl and the healing power of the mountain air.He had a sickly daughter named Clara at home who had lost her will to live.The man begged Heidi and her grandfather to let the girl come and stay on the mountain for a while.
Heidi's eyes sparkled with kindness and she immediately agreed.When Clara arrived,she was pale and weak.But Heidi took her by the hand and led her around the mountain meadows.She showed her the colorful wildflowers,the gurgling brooks,and introduced her to the friendly goats.Day by day,under Heidi's care and the influence of the fresh mountain air,Clara's cheeks began to gain some color.She started to laugh at the goats'antics (滑稽可笑的举止)and enjoy the simple beauty of nature
As the days passed,the friendship between the two girls grew stronger.They would sit together under the big pine tree and Heidi would tell her stories of the mountains and the eagles soaring in the sky.The sick girl slowly regained her strength and her spirit.And when it was time for her to go back to the city,she promised Heidi that she would always remember the magic of the mountain and the warmth of their friendship.From then on,more and more people came to know about the special place on the mountain and the little girl who had the ability to heal hearts with her love and the beauty of nature.

Almost one year ago,I started living without my parents and my lifestyle changed significantly.
There was no one to help me with the housework,take care of my diet and,of course,tell me to sleep.At first,I absolutely loved the freedom,staying up late.
