FULL HOUSE
Walk into the___1___of Anne Belles and her husband, and you’ll see kids
everywhere—there are 30 boys in this crowded house and Anne Belles is their mom.
Belles has wanted to ___2___ children since she was a kid. “I was touched by a
musical based on the Charles Dickens’ novel Oliver Twist (《雾都孤儿》). I told my
mom, ‘That’s what I want to do. I want to give protection and care to orphans (孤
儿).’”
Anne’s boys ___3___ in age from 3 to 25. All of them are ___4___ in some way.
“They each have special needs—physically, emotionally, or at school,” says Belles.
She doesn’t focus on what her kids can’t do, only on what they can. In an interesting
twist, thirteen of her ___5___ are going to be in a local theater’s production of Oliver!
Raising 30 boys is no ___6___task. Every day, a small army of childcare
workers, nurses, and volunteers comes to help cook, clean, and take care of health
needs.
The family receives $26,000 a month from the government, and has some
___7___from a family business. All the money is spent on the children; having new
clothes and fancy cars isn’t ___8___ to Belles.
How do the kids feel Says 17-year-old Anthony, “The family is always there
whenever I need something… Under all this chaos (杂乱), I feel like I am ___9___.”
“This was my dream. And everything about what I’m doing was everything I
wanted to happen in my life,” says Anne Belles. “So, absolutely no ___10___; this
is perfect. I couldn’t ask for it to be better—maybe a bigger house, you know, would
be nice.”

B
As any younger brother will tell you, having a big brother means a lot of walking
in someone else’s shadow, especially when you have a brother who is a typical
example of “cool”. For years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did,
but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the neglected (被忽略的) one. My legs
just weren’t made to run like his. I could never play football or basketball well.
I probably would have continued trying to keep up with him for the rest of my
high school career, but when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for
college, so I had to start at a new school all by myself. This new start gave me an
opportunity to redefine myself and discover an entirely new meaning of “cool”.
I don’t know what made me decide to try some new activities at the new school,
but one day I chanced to show up for an after-school meeting of the Science
Olympiad team. I had always been fascinated with chemistry, biology, and math, but
since those interests hadn’t fit Tyson’s definition of “cool”, I had never pursued them.
On this day, for some reason, I did.
As we organized teams, prepared resources and practiced answering questions,
I felt more connected than I ever had to any sports team. I didn’t feel as though I
needed to keep up with anybody else; I was finally with peers (同伴) who understood
me. It was so good to feel accepted for what I’m good at.
For the first time in my life, I actually felt cool. Now I know who I am! I’m
Tyson’s little brother, but that’s only part of my identity. I’m a cool guy in my own
way, too. I’m relieved to know that “cool” has a much broader definition than what
I used to think.
24. What makes Tyson a typical example of “cool”
A. He has long legs and dresses fashionably.
B. He pays little attention to others.
C. He always shadows his brother.
D. He is really good at sports.

25. What made the author feel “cool”
A. Going to a new school all by himself.
B. Accepting peers with the same interest.
C. Taking part in activities of a science team.
D. Refusing to be identified as Tyson’s brother.
26. Wh.at can we learn from the story A. Never judge a book by its cover. B. Find yourself and be yourself. C Life is full of possibilities. D. Skill is no burden. C Laughing together is an important way for people to connect and bond. And
though the causes of laughter can vary widely across individuals and groups, the
sound of a laugh is usually recognizable between people belonging to different
cultures.
But what about animals Do they “laugh” And are the causes of animal and
human laughter alike In humans, people may laugh when they hear a joke, or when
they see something that they think is funny, though it’s unknown if animals’
intelligence includes what humans would call a sense of humor.
However, many animals produce sounds during play that are unique to that
pleasant social interaction. Researchers consider such vocalizations to be similar to
human laughter. Recently, scientists investigated play vocalization to see how
common it was among animals. The team identified 65 species that “laughed” while
playing—most were mammals (哺乳动物), but a few bird species demonstrated
playful laughter too. Reports of playful laughter were notably absent in studies
describing fish, perhaps because there is some question as to whether or not play
exists at all in that animal group. This new study could help scientists to analyze the
origins of human laughter.
But how can we identify play Unlike fighting, play is usually repetitive and
happens independently of other social behaviors, said lead study author Sasha
Winkler, a doctor of biological anthropology at the University of California. When
it comes to identifying it, “you know it when you see it,” Winkler told Live Science.
One sign is that primates—our closest relatives—have a “play face” that is similar
to the expressions of humans who are playing.
When Winkler previously worked with rhesus macaques, she had noticed that
the monkeys panted (喘气) quietly while playing. Many other primates are also
known to vocalize during play, she said, so a hypothesis (laughter in humans is
thought to have originated during play) supported by the play-related panting
laughter of many primate species was put forward.

People now still laugh during play, but we also integrate laughter into language
and non-play behaviors, using laughter in diverse ways to express a range of
emotions that may be positive or negative. Human laughter notably differs from other
animals’ laughter in another important way: its volume. People broadcast their
laughter loudly, often as a way of establishing inclusion. By comparison, when most
animals laugh, the sound is very quiet—just loud enough to be heard by the laugher’s
partner.
“It’s really fascinating that so many animals have a similar function of
vocalization during play,” Winkler told Live Science. “But we do have these unique
parts of human laughter that are also an important area for future study.”
27. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To explain causes of animal and human laughter.
B. To assess complexities regarding animal laughter.
C. To present findings on the existence of animal laughter.
D. To analyze differences between animal and human laughter.
28. What can we learn from this passage
A. Animal laughter is even noticeable in fish.
B. Animal laughter is hard to recognize during play.
C. People have learned to combine play with laughter.
D. People laugh loudly because they want to involve others.
29. What is probably the focus of future study on laughter
A. Distinctive features of human laughter.
B. Different functions of animal laughter.
C. The origin and development of human laughter.
D. The relationship between animal laughter and intelligence.
第二节（共 2小题；第 30题 2分，31题 6分，共 18分）
My fifth Christmas began in the middle of November on a cold, windy day. I
remember the wind because Granny's grey hair was a mess when she arrived. That
was also the day Granny moved in.
After Granny moved in, she spent most of her time on the brown sofa by the fire.
Sometimes she was quiet, but she seemed happy. When I wrote a letter to Father
Christmas telling him about the presents I wanted, Granny made an effort to help me.
Her hand was slightly shaky, but she wrote "Father Christmas, the North Pole" on
the envelope.
On Christmas Eve, Granny and I made sugar biscuits, stuffed the turkey I sat on
her lap and sang Christmas songs. After that, Granny took a seat by the fire as we
put up the Christmas tree. Before bed, Granny sat on my bed and sang softly until I
fell sleep.
On the Christmas morning, Granny called me over.
“I have something special for you,” Granny whispered. “It is for all your treasures.

Merry Christmas.”
After breakfast, Mum, Dad and auntie got lunch ready. we, children rolled a big
snowball to make a snowman. I waved to Granny and asked her to come out, but she
just waved.
Lunch was late, but it was a loud and exciting affair. David, my cousin, put so
much pudding in his mouth that he couldn’t swallow.
“How is the pudding ” Granny asked.
“Mmmph, mmmph, mmmph,” said David.
His mum didn’t think it funny, but the rest of us did. Granny laughed so much
that her paper hat fell off.
A few weeks after that Christmas, Granny passed away. I think of her often,
especially on Christmas Day. I still remember the last Christmas Granny spent with
us. I remember the wind because Granny's grey hair was a mess when she arrived.
Each year I take out the music box she gave me. Now I’m the one who makes sugar
biscuits each year, and I always make one in a G-shape—G for Granny.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
In the mornings, as I walked from the train station to the office, I planned my
day by making a to-do list in my head: the scientific articles I would read, the data
sets I would analyze, and—most urgent of all—the insights into human nature that it
was my job to discover.
Each evening, I went back to the station, again going through my mental
checklist but this time sizing up my performance against the expectations I’d set for
myself that morning. Time and again, when comparing my to-do list with my got-
done list, I felt disappointed because I had fallen short.
But one day, something very strange happened. During my trip home, without
any conscious intent, my thoughts began to shift. Instead of feeling bad about my
weaknesses, I said aloud very softly: I’m a nice person. I’m a nice person. I’m a nice
person.
By the time I boarded my train, I was done with my little chant—until the next
day when I walked home. And again, after counting my failures, I found myself
saying quietly: I’m a nice person.
It turns out that there’s a technical term for this practice: values affirmation.
And what it boils down to is recognizing, and strengthening, the personal values you
高一英语第8页 共 10 页
{#{QQABRYYlxwiw0BYACR6aBQUoCgkQkJASJSomgRCQOARrQBFABAA=}#}
hold most dear.
When you affirm a core personal value, you shore up your sense of self-worth.
You broaden your outlook: Instead of focusing on your shortfalls, you switch to a
wide-angle view that includes your resources and opportunities. And the people who
do this are happier, healthier, and more hopeful.
Over time, I made progress in my research and learned a lot about what makes
most successful people special, including this: Nobody has passion and
determination unless what they do lines up with their values.
Try values affirmation for yourself and teach the practice to your students. Take
a moment and think of a value you hold dear, whether it’s kindness, creativity, or
gratitude. Whatever it is, name it. And then say to yourself: Come what may, I know
who I am. Your values are your foundation and your compass, too. Trust them, and
they will lead you home.
41.How did the author feel when she compared her to-do list with her got-done list
42.What is values affirmation
43. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and
explain why.
People who recognize their shortfalls are happier, healthier, and more
hopeful.
44. Apart from speaking out positive words, what else could you do to feel better
about yourself (In about 40 words)

Dear Jim,
I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to share with you my experiences as I embark on my new
journey as a high school student at Red Star High School.
To start, high school life has been a mix of excitement and adjustment. The academic challenges are
more substantial, and the workload is demanding, but I'm enthusiastic about learning and growing. It's
a whole new world where I'm exposed to a wider range of subjects and teachers who are experts in
their fields.
One significant difference from my previous school life is the level of independence I now have. I
have more control over my schedule and must manage my time wisely. The campus is larger and offers
various facilities and clubs, providing opportunities to explore my interests and passions.
As for my plans for the next three years of high school, I'm determined to focus on my studies,
participate in extracurricular activities, and aim for academic excellence. I also hope to build strong
friendships and create memorable experiences along the way. By the end of this journey, I aim to be
well-prepared for the future and ready to pursue my dreams and aspirations.
I'm eager to hear about your experiences as well. Please write back soon and tell me how things
are going on your end.
Take care and talk to you soon!
Sincerely, Li Hua
