(2023南通海安实验中学期中)The arts, especially music, should be part of every school's lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band. Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them glued_to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
Music builds self confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of audiences. Music gives children an opportunity for self expression, and that helps develop their self confidence. Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their characters. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.
(　　) 1. How could music make students smarter
A. By improving their memory and attention.
B. By improving their classroom skills and imagination.

(2023常熟中学阶段调研)“A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for，” said John A. Shedd, an early 20th century author. Throughout the pandemic, we've all become used to assessing risk in new ways. We've come to understand, though we can never get rid of risk altogether, we have great power to make choices both large and small to protect ourselves. __1__ It stops us from stepping outside of our comfort zones and trying new things.
Developmental psychologists talk about “positive risks”—socially acceptable risks that our lives can benefit from. __2__ But what about those, who develop into adults Researchers have found that happiness for older adults is being able to choose how they spend their time, including ways that are adventurous, new and even—like hiking or other outdoor activities—mildly risky.
One guide to positive risk management lists ways that people can make sure their risks are on the “safe” side of risk range. For example, to ensure a successful bike ride, you should in advance equip yourself with a fully charged cellphone and a full water bottle. __3__Or if you are concerned about your physical capacity, consult a certified trainer or medical professional before departure.
__4__ This means adapting to changing situations. In response to the deadly virus, people choose to step back into normal life only after they are vaccinated. In this way, people can be confident that the risk is tolerable.
Nobody wants to be at risk needlessly. But using our newly acquired risk assessment tools, we can once again learn and grow in our lives. __5__
A. Take risks in a positive way.
B. But the self protective mind state carries its own risk.
C. Overall happiness is one benefit of positive risk taking.
D. Remember to tell one of your friends or family your destination.
E. Besides taking preventive steps, flexible thinking is also encouraged.
F. Like a ship sailing away from its harbor, that is what we were built to do.
G. For teenagers, this means risks like running for monitor or trying out for a team.

一、 阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A(2023南通海安高级中学期中)
In 2020, Pink launched the World Regret Survey, the largest survey on the topic ever undertaken. With his research team, Pink asked more than 15，000 people in 105 countries, “How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently？” Most of them said regret was at least an occasional part of their life. About 21 per cent said they felt regretful all the time. Only 1 per cent said they never felt regretful.
If you are of the “no regrets” school of life, you may think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn't the case. Letting yourself be overwhelmed by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse. To extinguish your regrets doesn't free you from shame or sorrow but causes you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.
Uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive(认知的) feature. It requires that you go back to a past scene. Imagine that you acted differently to change it, and with that new scene in mind, arrive at a different present—and then, compare that fictional present with the one you are experiencing in reality. Not all regrets are the same, of course. Pink says they come in four basic types, and an instance of regret may involve just one combination.
Many connection regrets overlap(重叠) with moral regrets, which can come about after you go against your own values. For example, you may pride yourself on being a loving person, and thus regret not living up to this image in the relationship you harmed. Moral regrets can also involve just yourself. Maybe you regret not living up to your promise to your health when you ate a whole pizza or skipped the gym.
If not analyzed(分析) and managed, any kind of regret can be harmful to your well being. Regret is linked to depression and anxiety, and too much regret can negatively affect your immune system. But regret doesn't have to be put aside and ignored.
(　　) 1. What could be concluded from Pink's research
A. Half of the people felt regretful.
B. Most people lived without regrets.
C. None could live a life without regrets.
D. Most of the people had regrets.
(　　) 2. What does the underlined word “extinguish” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Destroy. B. Admit. C. Treasure. D. Experience.
(　　) 3. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The harm of moral regrets.
B. The importance of the promise.
C. The relationship between regrets and values.
D. The connection between reality and imagination.
(　　) 4. What might the author continue talking about
A. Types of regrets. B. Causes of regrets.
C. Benefits of experiencing regrets. D. Ways of dealing with regrets.
B(2023焦作博爱第一中学期末改编)
A number of people hold an optimistic attitude toward artificial intelligence's ability to reshape education nowadays. However, many feel such claims are overblown.
Kentaro Toyama, a professor at the University of Michigan School of Information, is one of those doubtful about the idea of using AI in the classroom.
Toyama mentioned a situation he encountered while working in an after school program in digital literacy(数字技术素养). He said, “In trying to teach students to use technology, the greatest difficulty is the technology itself.” As soon as he looked away from the students, they would “very quickly find the most fun games they could find on the computer and start playing them”. That reveals the problem with putting too much faith in AI for teaching. “There is great potential for it to be a distraction，” he said.
Toyama once surveyed a large group of people about their preference for the following educational situations: a school with no teachers but powerful AI, one with bad teachers but strong computers, one with good teachers but no computers, or one with great teachers and many computers. The result showed that nobody would send their children to a school with powerful AI but no teachers, or one with bad teachers but strong computers. Toyama concluded, “Good teachers are what matters; everything else is secondary compared to that.”
Toyama is also concerned that AI and technology may widen the gap between disadvantaged schools and wealthier schools. He said, “In the case of schools, well resourced schools will find the best ways to use technology. But if you're in a school district that is underfunded and parents are not involved, it doesn't make a difference how good the technology is, and it will not turn that situation around.”
When asked when schools should adopt AI, Toyama suggested that they should wait until the basics are in place, teachers want it, and the technology is proved to have positive educational values.
(　　) 5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to
A. AI. B. Faith.
C. Teaching. D. Computer.
(　　) 6. Why does the author mention the survey in Paragraph 4
A. To emphasize the key factor in education.
B. To recommend his favorite school for parents.
C. To compare the differences between AI and teachers.
D. To prove that preference for schools varies among people.
(　　) 7. Which of the following statements will Toyama probably agree with
A. AI has the potential to reshape teaching and learning.
B. A good school should put students and technology first.
C. AI will be able to educate students as well as real teachers.
D. AI and technology may unbalance educational resources.
(　　) 8. What is the best title of the text
A. AI Reshapes Education
B. Using AI in the Classroom
C. Will AI Dominate School
D. AI and Technology

(2023徐州期中)Do you have a younger brother Does he always get in trouble Well, there might be some science behind that.
According to a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, second borns are more likely than first borns to behave badly, which could be why you from time to time consider your younger brother or sister sprites．
Researchers, who explored data from tens of thousands of sibling(兄弟姐妹) pairs from Denmark and Florida, found second borns are 20% to 40% more likely to have behavioral problems. If you're the second born child, you may want to have a little chat with your parents. The reason why second born siblings may be worse behaved than first born is that parents tend to pay less attention to them.
“Second born children tend to have less attention from the mother than their older siblings because first born children experience their mother's maternity leave(产假). First borns enjoy the rewards of not only their own time with Mum following their birth, but the time Mum takes off with younger siblings, too，” the authors explain.
It's not just about the parents, however. Speaking to NRP, co author Joseph Doyle said, “The first born has role models, who are adults. And the second, later born children have role models who are slightly unreasonable 2 year olds, you know, their older siblings. The difference in parental investments and the sibling influences probably contribute to these differences we see in the labor market and what we find in behavior against regulations, even against laws. It's just very difficult to separate those two things because they happen at the same time.”
The results, the authors argue, have an important effect on social policy.
(　　) 1. What does the underlined word “sprites” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Losers. B. Troublemakers.
C. Close companions. D. Parents' pets.
(　　) 2. According to the report, what influences the second born children's behavior
A. Challenges of their elder siblings.
B. The amount of attention they receive from parents.
C. More family problems they are faced with.
D. Fewer chances of talking with others.
(　　) 3. Joseph Doyle holds the opinion that the older siblings ________．
A. have the same role models as their younger ones
B. are not to blame for their younger siblings' failure
C. are partly responsible for their younger siblings' problems
D. affect the parental investment and the labor market participation
(　　) 4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Parents Prefer First Born Kids
B. How Parents Improve Family Relationships
C. Social Policy Guides Family Education
D. Why the Second Born Tend to be Misbehaved

(2023盐城期中)In England, many people get worried when they are invited to dinner parties. That is because they don't know the specific etiquette(礼仪) when attending the party. __1__
Arrive 15 minutes late.
It's true that the invitation said 7：30 p．m., but chances are that your host hasn't quite finished up that roast, or they're still putting the finishing touches on the table decor. Plus, you don't want to be the first guest there, walking awkwardly in the room while your host is busily preparing. __2__ But don't make it too late. 15 minutes is okay. Thirty minutes after the arrival time is about the maximum delay.

When the dish is passed your way, politely pass it to the next person, and explain to your host later that it's not because you didn't want to eat it, just that you couldn't.
Be mindful of your relationship to the host.
__4__ If you're a close friend or family member, avoid excluding other guests with inside jokes or obscure(费解的) references. And no matter your relationship: always bring a gift. Your gift can be more personalized if you and the host have a close relationship—books you'd think they'd enjoy, something they mentioned they'd always wanted at previous gatherings, etc.
Offer to help clean up.
Your host has already gone to great lengths to put the party on. __5__ You don't need to get your hands dirty in the dish pit, but once dinner is done and the guests move to the next room, stay behind to help gather plates and silverware.

(2023淮安调研)Macie Semrau, a 6 year old girl from Eliot, Maine, seldom missed school. So, when she refused to even get dressed one day, her mother decided to allow her to stay home with her father Kyle and her 4 year old brother Caleb. The family would later be extremely thankful that the little girl refused to leave after she found her father passed out in the basement.
After returning from his night work, Kyle was feeling light headed. He told his wife Kate that he would be lying low for the day with their children. He finally made his way to the basement. Macie paid attention to her father's condition when she heard him shouting, and she and Caleb went to have a look. Macie found her 37 year old father was about to lose consciousness(意识). She asked him for his phone's passcode(密码) so she could unlock it. After successfully opening his phone, she found the local police department's number and called the police.
Kyle was amazed by Macie's decision making and her ability to stay calm. The little girl listed the family's Goodwin Road address while explaining that her father was in trouble. In the meantime, Caleb comforted his father. Thanks to Macie and Caleb, he was sent to Wentworth Douglass Hospital, where he required four liters of oxygen(氧气) and spent three days recovering.
“I'm very lucky, obviously because of my daughter and son and the police's response，” said Kyle. “It was quick，” he added, mentioning that the police arrived just in two minutes thanks to Macie's call. “It was unbelievable. I was in tears myself，” he said.
The Eliot Police Department also praised the young girl for her quick thinking and strong awareness. Eliot Police Chief Elliot Moya praised the Semraus for teaching their children about awareness of their surroundings(环境) as well as communication skills. Can your child open your phone and call the police If not, now's the time for them to learn.

How to Have an Attractive Personality(2023枣庄期末)
Being attractive comes more from your personality than your appearance, and demonstrating an attractive personality is key to having lasting relationships. __1__ The following tips help foster your ability to fascinate others.
Laugh at yourself.
If you make a fool of yourself, laugh at yourself instead of feeling embarrassed. It shows that you're comfortable in your skin. A sense of humor makes someone more engaging and delightful to be with. __2__ It is a great ice breaker or stress reliever, but don't ruin a serious conversation with inappropriate jokes.
Speak sincerely.
Tell people the truth. If you can't commit to something, it's better to be honest about it than to have to tell them last minute that you can't make it. When people ask for your opinion, you should be honest. __3__ For instance, if you don't like your friend's shirt, respond with “I really like you in blue instead.” rather than “I hate it; it's ugly.”．
__4__
If you see value in making others laugh and keep yourself positive, you'll be a happier person, making others drawn to you as a result. A great way to remind you to laugh more is to have daily jokes on your phone or email. Set them for a time of day when you notice yourself start to feel drained.
Have confidence in your body.
You don't have to have the “perfect body” to be confident in it. People will be more attracted to you if you dress well and carry yourself well. If you need a little boost, place posters around your mirror that remind you of the charming parts of your body. __5__
A. Speak in a positive way.
B. Make laughing a priority.
C. Remember, there is a time and place for humor.
D. There is a difference between being frank and rude, though.
E. Focus on these rather than what you're self conscious about.
F. Actually, developing engaging personalities is not that far out of reach.
G. But having charming appearance is only skin deep and far from enough.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(2023长沙周南梅溪湖中学月考)Over the past few months, people in the United States have been watching some unusual television advertisements(广告). They are unusual because they advertise a product that no American uses now or is likely to use in the future.
The advertisements show that a product called golden rice will help prevent blindness in millions of children.
None of these children live in the United States. They live in countries where white rice forms the main part of the diet. Too much white rice without other food causes lack of vitamin A. This can lead to blindness.
Golden rice has been developed to solve this problem through genetic(基因的) engineering. As well as TV advertisements, most news media carried stories on this great scientific development that would help some of the poorest children in the world.
It could also save the science of genetic engineering. People in Europe and America have learned more about genetically modified(转基因的) food over the past few years. And the more they learn, the less they like what they hear. People like science. And people like to eat food. But they would like the two things kept separate.
The truth is that a child would have to eat 9 kilograms of golden rice every day to get enough vitamin A. And Gordon Conway of the Rockefeller Foundation, which helped the development of golden rice, says that the advertisements have gone too far.
Perhaps the main purpose of golden rice is to get people to accept genetically modified food. The TV advertisements sent a very clear message—if you don't accept this technology, then poor children will go blind. It cost US $50 million to get that message across. That would buy a lot of food for poor children.
What do the people who are said to benefit from golden rice think of being part of this great scientific and social argument Nobody knows. Nobody has asked them.
(　　) 1. Why do you think children in the USA need no golden rice
A. They don't need vitamin A. B. It is genetically modified food.
C. They have all kinds of food. D. There isn't enough vitamin A in it.
(　　) 2. What is the main reason why golden rice is advertised in the USA
A. Golden rice will prevent blindness in children.
B. People have not accepted genetically modified food.
C. People know little about genetically modified food.
D. Golden rice is the first genetically modified food.
(　　) 3. According to the text, what kind of food do people in Europe and America like best
A. Food that is rich in vitamin A.
B. Food produced with no help from science.
C. Food produced in the third countries.
D. Food produced through genetic engineering.
(　　) 4. What is the author's opinion of the TV advertisements
A. They are not telling the truth.
B. They need improvement.
C. They are unbelievably practical.
D. They are put in a wrong place.

一、 阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A(2023镇江月考)
When I give public lectures about the climate crisis, the most common question people ask is: “Are you an optimist？” My answer is yes. The second most common question is: “What can I, personally, do？”
That's a tough one. About half of all greenhouse gas emissions come from electricity generation and industrial fossil fuel use. Some people have argued that calls for individual action actually distract us from company's responsibility. Oil giant BP promoted the idea of a carbon footprint, moving attention to its customers who, it suggests, should take personal responsibility by lowering their carbon footprints. One study found that focusing on personal activity will ruin support for more effective policy initiatives(提案) such as a carbon tax.
Another problem with personal behavior is that people do not like to be told what to do. As former congressperson(国会议员) Bob Inglis of South Carolina said, people think, “You're saying that I shouldn't have this house in a suburb I shouldn't be driving this car？”
Cutting meat consumption(消耗) is a powerful and personal thing most Americans can do to deal with the climate crisis, and they can do it immediately. About 40 per cent of greenhouse gases come from agriculture, deforestation and other land use changes. Meat—particularly beef—drives climate change in two ways: first, through cows' emission of methane(甲烷), and second, by destroying forests to create land areas for the cows to live on. Despite the economic slowdown caused by the pandemic, atmospheric greenhouse gas levels continued to rise in 2020, in large part because of an emission increase in the Amazon as rainforests were changed into land for cattle to satisfy the global demand for beef. By eating less beef, we can start to reduce that demand.
You do not have to become a vegan(素食主义者) to do this. Cutting back on red meat also has the added benefit of being good for your health. While I wouldn't advise governments to order people to stop eating hamburgers, if anyone asks “What can I do？”， a simple and accurate answer is: “Eat less meat. It's in your control, and you can begin right now. It benefits both you and the planet.”
(　　) 1. What can we learn about BP
A. It moves responsibility to consumers.
B. It calls for companies to take responsibility.
C. It has lost support from effective policy initiatives.
D. It brings up the concept of the carbon footprint and gains much support.
(　　) 2. What can be inferred about what Bob Inglis said
A. Officials are not always model examples of people.
B. We are uncomfortable to be informed what we should do.
C. The more people are involved in, the more influential the group activity is.
D. Owning a house or driving a car is not eco friendly to the environment.
(　　) 3. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Less Meat Consumption to Save the Planet
B. Individual Acts to Influence Our Planet
C. An Optimist to Protect the Planet
D. A Vegan to Benefit Our Planet
(　　) 4. Where can the text be found
A. In a storybook. B. In a science report.
C. In a novel. D. In a magazine.
B(2023北京清华附中期末)
We Are Cyborgs
RoboCop, the Bionic Woman, Darth Vader—what do these characters have in common They are all cyborgs—humans who are made more powerful by advanced technology. You might think that cyborgs exist only in fiction, or are a possibility only in the distant future. But cyborg technology already exists.
The word “cyborg” was first used in 1960 and defined as an organism(有机体) “to which external parts have been added for the purpose of adapting to new environments”. According to this definition, an astronaut in a spacesuit is an example of cyborg, as the spacesuit helps the astronaut adapt to a new environment—space. More recently, the word has evolved(进化) to refer to human beings who have mechanical body parts that make them more than human.
Although superhumans like RoboCop are not yet a reality, advances in real life cyborg technology allow some people to compensate(弥补) for abilities they have lost, and give other people new and unusual abilities. An example is film maker Rob Spence and his bionic eye. Spence injured one of his eyes in an accident. A camera was implanted(移植) in his prosthetic eye. The eye is not connected to his brain or optic nerve(视神经), but it can record what he sees. Spence has used his camera eye to record interviews for a documentary about people with bionic body parts.
Some types of cyborg technology replace a lost ability by connecting directly to a person's nerves. Michael Chorost completely and suddenly lost his ability to hear in July of 2001. Two months later, doctors placed a cochlear(耳蜗的) implant, a kind of computer, inside his skull. This type of implant connects to auditory nerves and allows a deaf person to hear again. Around the world, over 300，000 people have now been fitted with cochlear implants.
These examples of cyborg technology have enabled people to enhance or change their abilities and improve their lives. But does everyone want to use cyborg technology It might be too late to decide. Cyborg scientist Amber Case argues that most of us are already cyborgs. Anyone who uses a computer or a smartphone, Case claims, is a cyborg. Consider the data that you have in your smartphone. It keeps information for you so you don't have to remember it: notes, phone numbers, email addresses, messages. It also allows you to communicate with friends and family via telephone, text messages, email, and social networks.
The potential benefits of cyborg technology are evident, but can this new technology be harmful, too Could we become too dependent on cyborg technology—and become less than human These still remain questions.
(　　) 5. According to the passage, the cyborg ________．
A. is similar to human beings
B. took root in fiction characters
C. first appeared in the space industry
D. has some device attached to the body
(　　) 6. Among the following, which one can be considered as an “evolved cyborg”？
A. A cyclist in a helmet. B. An astronaut in a spacesuit.
C. A man with a heart pacemaker. D. A secretary using a typewriter.
(　　) 7. Amber Case probably thinks that ________．
A. technology makes cyborgs become common
B. cyborg technology is crucial to modern society
C. the use of mobiles improves cyborg technology
D. cyborg technology helps improve human memory
(　　) 8. What is the author's attitude toward cyborg technology
A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Skeptical. D. Optimistic.

B(2023北京海淀期末)
When I was a young girl in 8th grade, my classmates told me how they met new friends and even chatted with celebrities on the Internet. I was intrigued(感兴趣的) and wanted to experience these exciting things. I opened an online account; this was the beginning of my journey through the virtual world. As time went by, I became accustomed to checking social media more frequently. I buried myself in social media, chatting with friends and sharing my life with them. Social media was a source of happiness and more so, it brought a sense of satisfaction, pain, and frustration.
My newfound interest started interfering with my schoolwork. Instead of checking my school notes in time as usual, I checked social media more often to see what was happening with my friends' lives. But I later discovered that by becoming more aware of other people's lives, I became less in tune with myself. I was more focused on the illusions social media presented than the realities of my life. Thus, I started to sense depression, jealousy and hatred as a result of comparing my life with others'. And I became much like what the people in the virtual world expected of me.
Luckily, my phone went missing and my mother refused to get me a new one. I felt sad and lonely. However, her refusal led to something more meaningful to my life. Within a month, I became less concerned about other people's lives and more concerned about my courses. And I had more time to study and sleep.
Lack of social media also made me realize that social media had been interfering with my study habits and my private life. For example, I had no privacy. Anyone who had access to my social media profiles could easily find out where I lived. Moreover, I sometimes spent 15 hours browsing through social media without doing anything productive.
After examining my use of social media, I decided not to entirely quit social media, but to change the way I use them. I unfollowed sites that didn't contribute to positive or educative aspects of my life. I only use social media to spread positive messages and connect with others. Social media is not inherently bad, but it becomes terrible when we are addicted to it.
(　　) 4. After creating an online account, the author ________．
A. became less in harmony with herself
B. showed no concern for her schoolwork
C. lived a more exciting and satisfying life
D. cared more about others and felt happier
(　　) 5. Lack of social media made the author ________．
A. develop new hobbies
B. focus more on her studies
C. forget how to access her account
D. unfollow sites connected with her life
(　　) 6. The author might agree that social media ________．
A. ruins people's life and should be quit
B. broadens people's views of the world
C. challenges people's self control ability
D. plays a primary role in people's life
(　　) 7. What is the passage mainly about
A. A struggle in the days without phones.
B. Ways to get rid of social media addiction.
C. A personal experience with the virtual world.
D. Drawbacks of social media outweigh benefits.

(2023淮安调研)Do you have some habits like emotional(情绪的) eating or spending money to reduce stress __1__ Here we are coming to discuss some habit breaking strategies(策略).
We first take an example. When you are in a movie theater with hot dogs, the movie theater is the invitation, and hot dogs' buying and eating are the behavior.
The habit breaking choices are: One, tell yourself “no hot dog” each time; two, avoid going to the movies at all; or three, exchange the hot dog with a new movie snack that you can afford or achieve your nutritional goals. The key to this strategy is to make sure that the new habit is similarly attractive. __2__
Not every habit breaking strategy works for every habit. For example, maybe you want to eat a piece of oil cake in the break room when you arrive at school. __3__ Maybe, you might as well try to develop a new habit of eating healthier breakfast food at the same time, instead.
__4__ The only way habit breaking works is to use the strategy repeatedly. A 2009 study of 96 people in the European Journal of Social Psychology showed that individuals took between 18 and 254 days to form a habit.
Finally, success isn't perfection with habit breaking. Habit should be thought of as a continuum(连续体). Things become more or less habitual. __5__ And you'll know you're making progress when you feel less influenced by the habit, not when it is gone.
A. Instead of erasing a habit, you need to reduce its impact.
B. Whichever strategy you choose, the key is to do it over and over.
C. A low fat cookie or an after work walk is a more believable change.
D. The way to break a habit depends on the behavior you want to prevent.
E. The behavior is performed automatically in response to an invitation.
F. They can have negative effects in the long term and often need to be broken.
G. It won't work to refuse the invitation, because you can't stop going to class.
