They can connect with other teens there. They can be themselves and find out what they are interested in. The following websites are safe and designed to draw teenagers. Channel One News Channel One News is an award-winning news program that encourages young people to become informed global citizens. It is the only news program created just for young people ——with young journalists and young voices covering the news from young people's viewpoints. It provides a suitable context to understand how global events affect students’ everyday lives. It also offers homework help and fun quizzes. Cyberteens Cyberteens is another cool site that celebrates the teen years. Here teenagers can find communities, games, news, and shopping. There is a link called “creativity” where teens can share their poems, stories, photos, and artwork. Even better, young musicians in the family can show their musical pursuits. This site also has surveys and helps with jobs and schoolwork. TeensHealth This great website covers anything health-related that has to do with teens. Neil Izenberg, a doctor at Nemours, founded TeensHealth.org 27 years ago. It provides doctor-reviewed advice on hundreds of physical, emotional, and behavioral topics. Besides easy-to-follow articles, it features slideshows, videos, and health tools to help teens learn, grow, and be their best. Science News for Students Founded in 2003, Science News for Students aims to provide age-suitable, topical science news for learners, parents, and educators. Published daily, it posts both shorter news stories and longer features, all written with a vocabulary and sentence structure aimed at readers 9 to 14 years old. The stories are reported by experienced science journalists, many of whom have PhDs in the fields about which they write. 51. What can teenagers do on these websites? A.

How to write news stories. D. How to create a sense of community. 55. Science News for Students is most suitable for . A. college students B. middle school educators C. young adults D. science researchers B After realizing students at his elementary school were going hungry at home, PE teacher Jason Watson got a wave of inspiration. Jason and his wife, school librarian Anne, bought a used ice cream truck, and for the past two summers, the couple, both 39, have delivered hot home-cooked lunches and icy treats to kids in need in their 1,300-person town of Frazeysburg, Ohio. It all started back in 2016 when the pair started AIM Outreach, an after-school program for kids that included free lunches. In 2020, their in-person outreach had to be stopped, so the couple bought the truck and have been hard at work since. The family cooks all the meals themselves, posting online the dates and times they will be delivering. They serve about 70 meals a week in the summertime; to date, they estimate they've served about 2,200 lunches from the truck. “We share the love of cooking,” Jason says. “Instead of giving out fast food, we try to actually cook a really good meal, to treat them a little bit.” The couple launched a GoFundMe in June, 2022 when the truck needed both a new transmission and a new engine. They raised more than $10,000. “We’ve been blown away by the outpouring of donations,” says Anne. “And we’ve decided to do more. Our dream is to possibly open a free café where we invite people to sit, have a hot dinner and then share life together, which is kind of our vision going ahead.” “We believe at GoFundMe that help is kindness in action,” says Kelsea Little, head of brand storytelling at GoFundMe. “They are spreading joy out every day.” Little hopes the Watson family will inspire other people to spread kindness in their communities. “They might not have an ice cream truck to go feed everyone with, but there are maybe some small things they could do for their neighbors or to make the world a better place or ever just to do something kind for someone else,” she says. 56. The Watsons bought an ice cream truck to . A. share food with children in need B. support their life in hard times C. promote their after-school program D. kill time with their ice-cream business 57.

The aim to start a charity organization. D. The idea to expand their menu and meal options. 59. How did the Watsons react to the donations on GoFundMe? A. They gave extra donations back. B. They were curious about the donors. C. They were inspired to do more kind acts. D. They funded kids’ education with them. 60. What may Kelsea Little agree with? A. Everyone can spread kindness in their own ways. B. Ice cream trucks have various functions. C. Good neighborhood relationship inspires kind actions. D. GoFundMe activities push small kindness even further. C A growing number of colleges and universities are offering competitive esports (electronic sports) teams. Now some doctors are calling for gamers to be treated like other college athletes, because just like with other sports, they also suffer injuries. Ryan Harran and Daniel Singh are both university esports team players. “Some days I don't play at all because of school and work, but when I do play, it could be anywhere from three hours to six hours," Harran said. “It is pretty mentally exhausting. There’s certainly eye strain（视疲劳）from just looking so hard," Singh said. New research looked at 65 college esports players and found they averaged about 5 to 10 hours of gaming training daily, with many reporting overuse injuries including hand and arm pain and neck and back pain. “Poor posture（姿势）can produce fast-growing pressure on your neck, back and shoulders," said study author Dr. Hallie Zwibel. "Eye tiredness is the most commonly reported problem..." Zwibel says players also report sleeplessness due to the blue light from the screens. In fact, esports can be such heavy work that players often retire by the time they're in their mid-20s. So far, 80 colleges and universities in the U.S. have esports teams. Researchers say schools need to provide prevention and treatment plans for esports injuries just as they do with traditional athletes. “Nutrition，exercise，and stretches，especially stretches of the eyes to avoid eye tiredness during game play,” Zwibel said. And it's not just college and university esports athletes who should be careful, and even if you don't play at that level, Zwibel said, you can still suffer esports injuries like overuse injuries and eye tiredness from video games. Singh says he keeps all that in mind to be his best on the game day. “I often roll my shoulders back and keep a straight back," he said, adding that he also tries to do some exercise when he's offline. 61. What worries some doctors according to the passage? A. All college athletes' health condition. B. Young people's lack of physical exercise. C. College and university esports injuries. D. Mental stress caused by heavy schoolwork. 62. What's the most universal problem that college esports players have? A. Neck and back pain. B. Hand and arm pain. C. Sleeplessness. D. Eye tiredness. 63. Why do esports players often retire early? A. They lose interest quickly. B. They become busy with work. C. They can't make a living this way. D. They won't have enough energy and strength. 64. What can we know from the last two paragraphs? A.Video games will lead to overuse injuries and eye tiredness. B. Singh always pays much attention to his posture and health. C. Stretches of the eyes are treatment for eye tiredness. D.80 colleges provide treatment for esports injuries. 65. Which is the best title for this passage? A. Esports: No pain, No gain! B. Doctors Raise the Alarm about Esports Injuries C. Esports are Becoming More and More Popular D. How are Esports Different from Other Sports? D For lots of animals——humans included——lazing about in the sunshine is one of life's greatest pleasures. But unfortunately, this pleasure comes with a cost: sunburn. And, while those of us with fairer skin are more likely to be sunburned, animals are at risk of sunburn, too. But if this can happen to animals too, why, then, don't we ever see sunburned whales? “If you think of it, the sun has been here forever in terms of our planet, and all individuals have been living in the sun,” said Karina Acevedo-Whitehouse, a molecular epidemiologist from the Autonomous University of Queretaro, in Mexico. “So, it’s a pretty strong pressure that the sun has put on animals and that has led to many mechanisms (机制) of reacting to it.” Some of these mechanisms are obvious: hair, fur, wool, feathers and scales (鳞) on many creatures create a protective layer between sunshine and skin. But, “marine mammals (海洋哺乳动物), and specifically cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises), are an exception because they don't have fur; they don't have scales,” said Acevedo-Whitehouse, who has been studying sunburn in whales for over five years. In skin examples taken from the backs of blue, sperm and fin whales on their cross-ocean movements, Acevedo-Whitehouse and her colleagues discovered signs of sunburn from the whales’ hours spent breathing and socializing at the surface. But importantly, they also discovered that whales have specialized mechanisms that help them reduce this burn, even making them disappear. “The common adaptation of whales is that they appear to work well at repairing damage,” she said. Some whales generate colors that darken and protect their skin. There are even whales that have developed a hard, keratinized layer that protects the skin below. “We were excited to see there isn't really evidence of skin cancer in whales,” Acevedo-Whitehouse said. Now, they're trying to understand exactly how those self-curing mechanisms work. 66. Which of the following problems is the text trying to solve? A. How do mammals protect skin? B. How do whales prevent sunburn? C. Do animals ever get sunburned? D. Do whales ever get sunburned? 67. What does the “exception” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Whales don't have fur to protect themselves. B. Whales build a wall between sunshine and skin. C. Whales can protect their skin even without fur. D. Whales’ reacting mechanism is obviously found. 68. In what situation do some whales probably get sunburned? A. Surfacing for a long time. B. Sunbathing. C. Socializing below water. D. Breathing. 69. Some whales adapt well to sun damage, depending on . A. protective fur B. the ability to self-cure C. self-made sun cream D. impossibility of cancer 70. Which one is Acevedo-Whitehouse and her colleagues’ next work? A. To discover how whales generate dark colors. B. To discover how whales suffer from skin cancer. C. To discover how whales cure the sunburn by themselves. D. To discover how whales protect themselves from danger. 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） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 My wife and I moved into our home nine years ago. We have a yard a “rock garden”. There the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish. Very often when we have more flowers, Denise or I would plant them between the rocks, just to bring some color to the area. Last summer I found, in the rock garden, a tiny little plant that I could not immediately recognize. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was. Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the strange plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It looked thin and tall with only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed (除草) around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun. If a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth. We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the ability to achieve our goals. Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are, then other things will begin to support us. We will find a way to go under or around any “rocks” in order to realize our goals. 71. How did the yard in the author’s home look like at first?( no more than 5 words) 72. Why did the author let the tiny plant continue growing? (no more than 10 words) 73. What does the underlined word in paragraph3 mean? (no more than 3 words) 74. What made the author think the sunflower was unusual? (no more than 15 words) 75. How does the sunflower inspire you? Please explain it in your own words. (no more than 25 words) 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 假设你是晨光中学高一1班的班长李津。你校即将举办主题为“好睡眠，好生活”的英语演讲比赛。请你代表高一1班参加比赛，现用英语写一篇演讲稿，内容包括： 1. 良好睡眠的重要性； 2. 如何养成良好睡眠。 注意：1. 词数不少于100； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 开头结尾已给出。 Good morning, everybody! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That’s all.

And I feel more than delighted and privileged to share some opinions with regard to a sound sleep. Hopefully my speech will inspire you to improve your sleep quality. As is often the case, early to bed and early to rise makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise. Therefore, by no means should we underestimate the significance of a good sleep. Above all, a good sleep can fill us with energy for the coming day, allow us to study and work in an effective way. Besides, having a sound sleep is an essential way for us to ease our stress and maintain mental health. Since a good sleep plays a crucial role in our daily life, it’s high time that we should develop a good sleep habit. Firstly, we need to keep a good sleep pattern and follow it strictly. Secondly, it’s highly recommended that we go to sleep before 10 p. m. Last but not least, there’s no denying that listening to smooth and classic music before going to bed contributes a lot to a good sleep. As long as we go to great lengths to foster a healthy sleep habit, I am convinced that all of us can have a better sleep and enjoy a happier life. That’s all. Thanks for listening. 高一英语参考答案 第1页 共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
