In the English language， there are many expressions using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice. Sometimes， people say something to a friend or a family member. Later they regret because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they didn’t mean to tell. The speaker might say， “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” 一 二 三 四 五 六 Sometimes when one person is speaking， he says the same thing that his friend is going to say. When this happens， the friend might say， “You took the words right out of my mouth！” Sometimes a person has a bad or sad experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth”. Or the person possibly has a very frightening experience， like having an angry dog running after him. He might say， “I had my heart in my mouth.” 一 二 三 四 五 六 Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. You might say the person “was born with a silver spoon（银勺） in his mouth”. He is the opposite of a person living from “hand to mouth”. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life， like food. 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　A　）34. The underlined word “regret” means “ 　　　　⁠”. A. feel sorry B. feel excited C. feel proud D. feel surprised （　B　）35. When a man says “I had my heart in my mouth.”， usually he means he was  　　　　⁠. A. excited B. afraid C. surprised D. happy A B 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　B　）36. Tom says that he is living from hand to mouth. He means he is living a（n）  　　　　⁠life. A. busy B. hard C. easy D. rich B 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　C　）37. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage？ A. Different uses of the mouth B. People and their mouths C. Expressions about the mouth D. The importance of the mouth C 一 二 三 四 五 六 C Have you noticed that your life becomes a little easier？ Now， when you go to a certain shopping mall， you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi， you can book one with your phone. In fact， all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city. 一 二 三 四 五 六 The idea of a smart city was brought up by the American company IBM. Generally， a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning， save money and resources， and make our life convenient. How smart can a city be？ Here are great examples that we can learn from. 一 二 三 四 五 六 In 2009， Dubuque became the first smart city in the USA. The city used smart water meters to take the place of traditional water meters. They can detect（发现） the water waste and leakage（泄漏） and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like the electricity and natural gas. This way， people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste. 一 二 三 四 五 六 Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop， the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival time. The government organized a research team and provided an app that collected data on almost everything： the light temperature， and the movements of cars and people. Opening the app near a supermarket provides immediate information on special offers. 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　A　）38. According to the passage， which of the following is TRUE？ A. Digital technologies are used in smart cities. B. An English company first raised the idea of a smart city. C. A smart city is mainly made up of free Wi-Fi and phones. D. A smart city is still an idea and hasn’t come into being. A 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　B　）39. The example of Santander shows the use of smart systems in aspects（方面） EXCEPT  　　　　⁠. A. shopping B. health care C. traffic controlling D. public transportation （　C　）40. Compared to traditional water meters， smart water meters do better in  　　　　⁠. A. cleaning water B. supplying water C. saving water D. producing water B C 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　B　）41. What’s the main idea of the passage？ A. Digital technologies help improve city planning. B. Smart cities will make our future life better and smarter. C. Smart cities are very common in both Dubuque and Santander. D. Spain and the USA take the leading position in building smart cities. B 一 二 三 四 五 六 D（2023·东台市第二教育联盟月考） Aaron Whiteside， born in the 1980s， believes that life was better in times gone by. He thinks that people were polite and nice in the 1930s but they are greedy（贪婪的） in the modern society. But his friend thinks that living conditions have improved a lot and that humans are still kind today. So what do you think？ 一 二 三 四 五 六 Just like Aaron Whiteside， nostalgic people think people lived more happily with less money in the past. In the old days， people sat around a table together， sharing food and conversations. But now most families spend about 20 minutes on supper before hurrying off. Families know less about each other’s lives. There is much more pressure on making a living. 一 二 三 四 五 六 Besides， people bought fewer things in the past， which was better for the environment and made people more creative. For example， bands from the 1960s were much better than today’s.Creative expression is now being lost to technology and greed.  　▲　⁠. In their opinion， both men and women are able to live how they like now. However， women’s position was quite low in the past because women were expected to stay at home， looking after babies and doing a lot of housework. Most women led a boring life at that time. 一 二 三 四 五 六 What’s more， it is agreed that children get better education today. That’s because there are more schools and colleges in the modern society. Thanks to technology development， we live in a shared world where we share information， services and culture， and that gives us new perspectives（视角）. 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　D　）42. Aaron Whiteside and his friend are mentioned as examples to  　　　　⁠. A. explain the importance of being polite and nice B. compare people’s lives in different places C. give useful suggestions on keeping friendship D. show different opinions on life now and then D 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　B　）43. The underlined words “nostalgic people” in Para.2 probably mean “people who  　　　　⁠”. A. long for money B. miss the past C. care about health D. refuse to change B 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　C　）44. Which of the following can be put in the “ 　▲　⁠” in Para.4？ A. So， many people prefer to live in the past B. Additionally， life in the past was simple C. However， others hold that life now is fairer D. Actually， people now are much more creative C 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　A　）45.

C　 D　 一 二 三 四 五 六 Many people like Zhong Wei show great interest in how their hometowns have changed. 48.  　F　⁠ In many places， the government has also built new schools and sent teachers from the cities to help. “I noticed that was true of my hometown，” adds Zhong Wei. “Children have studied at my old primary school since the 1960s. But now the buildings are really old. 49.  　A　⁠” Zhong Wei thinks such developments are good， and he also knows his hometown cannot always stay the same. F　 A　 一 二 三 四 五 六 According to Zhong Wei， however， some things will never change. “In my hometown， there was a big old tree opposite the school. 50.  　B　⁠ Most of the children in my time liked to play together under that big tree， especially during the summer holidays. It was such a happy childhood. Our hometown has left many sweet memories in our hearts.” B　 一 二 三 四 五 六 A. I hear they’re going to build a new school there. B.
