The school's Environmental Club collected used books from students who no longer needed them.These books were then sorted and either donated to local libraries or sold to second-hand bookstores,ensuring they remained in circulation and did not end up in landfills. The response from the student body was overwhelmingly positive,with many students eager to participate in the event.

But with competition from other sports like soccer, baseball is not as prevalent as it used to be. However, the baseball field is still a place for young boys to prove themselves. Tim was one of those boys. His build was slight and unfinished. Some boys had the makings of athletic ability through every growth period. Tim seemed to be growing in odd ways: long arms and legs, thin shoulders, and no meat on his bones. But he loved baseball Although strikeouts (三振出局) piled up in the recording sheets, Tim continued. He knew his body didn't respond to dreams and wishes, but his desire was always there Tim practiced his swing every day, and every strikeout brought two things to the little boy determination and some tears that Tim quickly wiped away before returning to the baseball field. His teammates encouraged him. His coach worked with him. Even the opposing teams held their breath, wishing for his hitting, just one hit for the boy who seemed to deserve it moioehan any other I0-year-old kid in the world What teammates and parents and even the coach never saw was a gray car that pulled ur each game in the parking lot. Inside was Tim' s father, too weak from advancing cancer to get out of the car. It was a tough assignment for a father to watch his kid strike out. but for Tim's father, he believed success was made out of sweat, tears, and effort instead of results. That was also what he expected Tim to understand and do At the end of the season, Tim stood on the field and was as determined as ever. He did his best. but ended up missing the chance to advance. When the game was over, Tim ran straigh into the gray car and into the arms of his father, who witnessed his son's every effort and was preud of him.

Where there is a will, there is a way C. One false step makes a great difference D. Success is a journey rather than a destination It's long known to us that living close to major. roads is harmful to people due to the exposure to air pollution. However, road traffic noise is also a widespread problem in citie whose impact on children's health remains poorly understood. A new study conducted at 38 schools in Barcelona suggests that traffic noise at schools has a harmful effect on the development of working memory and attention in primary. school students The study included 2,68o children between 7 and 10 years of age. To assess the possible impact of traffic noise on their cognitive (认知的) development, the researchers focused on twc abilities that develop rapidly during preadolescence (青春期前) and are essential for learning and school attainment: attention and working memory. The fieldwork for the study was carried out over a 12-month period in 2012 and 2013 during which the participants completed the cognitive tests four times. The aim of these tests was not only to assess their working memory and attention but also to study their evolution over time. Over the same period, noise measurements were taken in front of the 38 participating schools, as well as in the playgrounds and inside classrooms In the analysis of outdoor noise levels of schools, higher average noise levels and greate fluctuation(波 动) in noise levels were both associated with poorer student performance on al tests. Inside the classroom, greater fluctuation in noise levels was also associated with slower progress over the course of the year on all cognitive tests. However, children exposed to higher average classroom noise levels over the course of the year performed worse than students in quieter classrooms only on the attention test. but not on the working memory test The researchers used the 2012 road traffic noise map of the city of Barcelona to estimate the average noise level at each participant's home. In this case, however, no association was observed between residential noise and cognitive development "This could be because noise exposure at schools is more harmful as it affects concentration and learning processes," commented Maria Forester. "On the other hand. although noise measurements were taken at the schools, noise levels at the children's homes were estimated using a noise map that may be less accurate and, in any case, only reflected outdoor noise. This, too, may have influenced the results.' 61. What problem does Paragraph 1 highlight? A. Impacts of traffic noise on children 高二英语试卷第7页(共10页) B. Negative effects of living in big cities C. The harm of air pollution to children's health D. The obstacle to improving working memory and attention. 62. What can we learn about the study? A. It lasted more than two years. B. It targeted schoolers of a certain age range. C. It involved participants from different nations D. It was mainly carried out inside classrooms. 63. What played a role only in students' poorer attention performance according to the text? A. Higher average classroom noise levels. B. Students' worse family environment C. Students' weaker ability to adapt to new environments D. Greater fluctuation in classroom noise levels 64. How was the average residential noise level evaluated in the study? A. Through the researchers investigation B. Through the participants' calculation C. Through field tests by professionals D. Through a road traffic noise map. 65. What is Maria Forester trying to explain in the last paragraph A. The major research directions of future studies. B. The reasons for taking noise measurements at schools C. The factors influencing the findings of research on residential noise D. The effects of residential noise levels on children's concentration D One of the most beneficial skills you can learn in life is how to consistently put yourself in a good position. But not everyone knows how we can create that foundation. Actually, the position you find yourself in today is the accumulation of the small choices that you've been making for years. If that's the case, why doesn't everyone make choices that will put them in a good position in the future? The ordinary choices that guarantee a strong future go unnoticed. Eating a chocolate bar right now won't make you unhealthy, just as not eating it won't make you healthy Saving money today won't make you rich, just as not saving it won't make you poor. Reading a chapter of a great book today won't solve your problems just as not reading it won't make them worse. Not doing the obvious things that position you for future success--- rarely hurts you right away. The small choices we make on a daily basis either work for us or go against us. Time strengthens what you feed it. On the first day, the difference between the choices that help us 高二英语试卷第8页(共10页) and the choices that hurt us isn't noticeable. But as days turn into weeks, weeks into years, and years into decades, the small choices do create massively different results. Whenever this idea is brought up, people are quick to object. "But ... I do these things and don't get the results I want."And it's true: most of us make the right choices most of the time But "most of the time" isn't the same as "all of the time". In the absence of immediate rewards we can keep up the intensity for a while but most of us fail to last it long. It's like we're Sisyphus rolling a large rock up the hill, only to throw our hands halfway in the air due tc tiredness and go home. When we showed up the next day, we saw the rock at the bottom of the hill and repeated the work. Not only did this spoil the progress but it made getting started even harder. When you look below the surface, giant leaps aren't really giant leaps at all. They're a series of ordinary choices that finally become obvious. If you look for the magic moment. you'll miss how ordinary choices become extraordinary 66. W'hy do ordinary choices tend to be overlooked according to Paragraph 2 A. They may harm people's health B. They only produce insignificant success. C. They fail to give immediate consequences. D. They are unable to guarantee a strong future 67. What does the author mainly stress in Paragraph 3? A. The power of time. B. The difficulty in achieving success C. The necessity of setting clear goals D. The importance of thoughtful planning 68. What may lead to some people's failure according to Sisvphus's story? A. A lack of perseverance. B. Insufficient preparations C. Simply blind confidence D. A shortage of cooperation 69. What lesson does the text intend to show? A. No pains, no gains B. Time heals everything C. It's never too late to act D. Rome was not built in a day 70. How is the text developed A. In time order B.In spatial(空间)order C. By analyzing data. D. By giving examples. 第II卷非选择题(共35分) 第四部分:写作(共两节,满分35分) 第一节 阅读表达(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分) I volunteered at LM Village Camp with Refugee Support for five months and I just came back recently. I don't know how to summarize the past several months. The refugees (难民) I got to 高二英语试卷第9页(共10页) know are unbelievably generous, warm and kind despite their horrific circumstances. I was astounded that they had the emotional capacity to give love, and gestures of kindness to the yolunteers. On my last day at LM Village Camp, one family called me over to their home to thank me and say goodbye. They insisted on giving me their first grown cucumber from the plants they were growing from the "Grow Your Own" project we helped them start "Choices" and "opportunities" have been cruelly taken away from these people. If there is something I have learned from this, it's to try to remind myself not to take the choices and opportunities I have for my present and future for granted. These refugees are currently powerless to make any real choices about their future, or even about their daily painful life However, what I did witness at LM Village Camp was the residents' ability to choose love and generosity of heart. I am proud to have supported these people a little in their time of need They truly gave me so much more than I could give them: I learned so much about true selfless kindness. < Having volunteered for five months with Refugee Support, I have witnessed first-hand how donations can provide some normality for refugees' life, providing aid with dignity anc respect, and offering some small daily choices. You don't have to volunteer there to help them You can help even at home. Just donate something to them. It doesn't have to be something expensive. Just donate anything that you think can help a refugee 71.How did the author find the refugees?(no more than 5 words) 72. What does the underlined word"astounded" in Paragraph 2 mean? (1 word) 73. What did the author lean from the refugees' experiences? (no more than 10 words 74. What did the author appeal to readers to do finally? (no more than 10 words) 75. How do you feel about the refugees after reading the text?
