Read the following blog (博客) and replies about a fun, easy and creative way to make your lifestyle greener. Posted by Gina at 8:32 a.m. on 11th February New uses for old clothing. Now we’re more wasteful than ever-buying, throwing things away without thinking. We need to start more responsibly—but how? One answer is to upcycle (再生利用). I started upcycling clothing. Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my interest. Do you upcycle? If so, what new things have you made? If not, why not give it a try? Terry B Posted at 9:08 a.m. on 11th February 2024 I love UR idea. But why don’t U give UR old clothes to people in need? I even give away the most expensive things I don’t wear anymore. So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need. Gina Posted at 9:28 a. m. on 11th February 2024 Good point! I’m talking about only the oldest clothing in your room—the clothes that are too old to be worn by others. The same idea goes for food waste at restaurants and supermarkets. Before upcycling food that can still be eaten, for example, using it to make soil rich, we should give it to those in need. Betty99 Posted at 10:18 a. m. on 11th February 2024 I’ve made shopping bags out of T-shirts and dog toys out of socks. Upcycling clothing is a fun hobby, but the most important thing is that it makes me feel like I’m living less wastefully. 56. What is special about the hat? A. It was new and expensive. B. It came from an old sweater. C. It was a gift from Gina’s sister. D. It was given by Gina’s mum. 57. Gina give a reply to Terry B to ________.

At 9:08 a. m. on 11th February 2024. C. At 9:28 a. m. on l1th February 2024. D. At 10:18 a. m. on 11th February 2024. 59. What did Betty99 upcycle to make dog toys? A. Socks. B. Shopping bags. C. T-shirts. D. Paper boxes. 60. What can we learn from the blog? A. Betty99 feels more wasteful by upcycling clothing. B. Terry B seldom gives his clothes to people in need. C. Gina thinks making new things out of old clothes can mix her talent and interest. D. Gina thinks that if someone is in need of the food, they can use it to make soil rich. (B) I lived in a small village. I liked throwing stones because I had no other boys to play with and I became very skillful. One day a bird flew to a tree near me. I found a nice stone and threw it with my best skill. It hit the bird on the head and it dropped dead. I was sorry the moment I saw it fall off the tree. But it was too late. All that long another bird flew about, and chirped so sadly that it made my heartache. At this moment I heard a voice, “Oh, boy, don’t throw stones at birds again.” “The stone can kill the bird and also hit yourself” an old woman said. She was very kind and friendly, and she told me her story. She loved small animals. One morning while she was walking in the park, she found two weak birds on the grass. She took them home and put them in a small cage（笼子）. She cared for them with love and the birds both grew strong. They thanked her with a wonderful song every morning. However something happened one day. She left the door of the cage open. The larger bird flew from the cage. She thought that it would fly back as it flew close, she caught it. She was excited to get it back. Suddenly she felt strane. She opened hands and looked sadly at the dead bird. Her great love killed the bird. The other bird was moving around in the cage. She could feel its great need for freedom. It wanted to fly into the clear and blue sky. At once she took the bird out of the cage and let it fly away. The bird circled once, twice. She enjoyed watching the bird flying and singing. Now I know a lesson. The easiest way to lose love is to hold it too tight, the best way to keep love is to give it wings. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 61.

What they keep on their shelves, in my eyes, is a reflection(反映) of their personal tastes and interests. The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life. My own shelves are a kind of roadmap through my life, telling a chronological tale. First up come my favorite childhood reads, like Water ship Down and His Dark Materials. The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school — Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Handmaid’s Tale and A Clockwork Orange. Finally, we come out of full-time education and enter the real world, and this part is a reflection of my professional(职业的) life, from the first exciting days of work experience to the present. If you pointed to any book on my shelves, I could name the year I got it, where I was working, and probably where I was living at the time. ▲ It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes, dreams and interests. And a big part of that story is how we arrange(排列) our books, and get on with them. It’s such a personal thing, different from each other. Some want to be with their books in every room, others have them on shelves, behind glass or simply lining their floors. Each home has a story to tell through the way they live with their books. It’s often said that what we read says something about who we are. The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves. From the pile of books on your bedside table to your well-organized shelves, whether we notice it or not, our book collections are telling a story before a single page has been turned. 66. What will the writer do if he is invited to somebody’s house? A. Choose a book to read. B. To talk about his books with the host C. To visit the study D. To buy some books for the best. 67. The books on the writer’s own shelves are organized according to ________. A. their prices B. their writers C. his personal interests D. the periods of his life 68. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4? A. Every book is worth reading. B. Each bookshelf holds a special dream. C. Book collections tell so much about a person. D. The books a person reads depend on his choices. 69. The writer seems to agree that ________. A. we’d better not put our books on the floor B. the way we arrange our books shows our tastes C. the books at our bedside are usually more important D. we can know about a person by reading the message he sends 70. It can be learned from the passage that the writer is probably ________. A. a book lover B. a story teller C. a shelf collector D. a fashion designer (D) Do you find it hard to learn math and history? A recent study carried out by scientists from University of London, may be of help to you. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the morning and better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoon. The researchers did a study at a secondary school in Bulgaria over nine years. The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored on average (平均) 7 percent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon. Lower-ability students did worst when they were studying math in the afternoon. In history, students taught in the afternoon scored on average 6 percent higher than when they were taught in the morning. However, it doesn’t work for other subjects such as languages or geography. Velichka Dimitrova, leader of the study, said the findings show that we do better at different times of the day. “In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something that repeats a lot like problem solving, where we require more speed and attention,” Dimitrova told The Telegraph. “In the afternoon, it seems that this process (过程) slows down. On the other hand, history is better suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion,” she said. Subjects such as foreign languages require both memory and repetition (重复), and they also need people to be creative. This is perhaps why the time of day has no influence on learning. Time-of-day effects such as those are believed to be connected to the body clock. This is the system in our bodies that controls when we need to sleep. Some schools in the US and UK have tried out later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults. Dimitrova believes schools should take this chance to improve students’ performance just by changing their timetables. 71. According to the study, students taught in the morning do better in . A. history B. English C. geography D. math 72. It is believed that the time-of-day effects have something to do with a student’s . A. age B. hobby C. body clock D. learning habit 73. History is better suitable for the afternoon because . A. it is an easy subject for students to learn B. we are more creative and open to discussion C. our brains are better and fresher in the afternoon D. it’s easier to pay more attention to the work we are doing 74. Dimitrova is sure that . A. it is better to learn history and math in the morning B. changing timetables properly can improve students’ performance C. different times of a day have some influence on learning languages D. it makes no difference for lower-ability students to learn math in the afternoon 75. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The good advice on managing a school. B. The importance of learning history and math. C. The good ways to get higher scores in history and math. D. The influence of timetables on history and math learning. 第二部分非选择题(55分) 五、任务型阅读 (共10 小题;每小题1. 5分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填1个单词。 Self-respect is a very important part of a great life. Self-respect is a feeling of being happy about one’s characters, abilities and beliefs. Developing self-respect means developing self-confidence to deal with whatever life throws at us. The following are some ways we can improve our self-respect. There is great stress from parents, work and society to become a certain person and to achieve certain goals. A real self-respect is very important and you should believe in your own values and remember what is important to you. Everyone needs to follow his or her own path. Nobody likes criticism (批评). To keep a sense of self-respect, we need to learn how to deal with criticism. Don’t get sad by the things someone else says or does. Maybe it is completely untrue, so pay no attention to it. If there is some truth, we can use it to develop our characters. Jealousy (嫉妒) of other people’s success will cause the loss of our happiness and self-respect. Jealousy is simply envy of other people’s success. The truth is that there will always be some people more successful than us. The method for lasting self-respect is to be happy with others’ success. If you have no respect for others, how can you have self-respect? It isn’t right to feel better by putting others down. If we look for good qualities in other people, it is easier to remember the good qualities in ourselves. Forgive others and yourself. Don’t live in the past, but move on from the past mistakes and difficult situations. If your mind is full of problems in the past, you will always feel sad. Self-respect comes when we get tolerant. Sometimes we work with the best of motives (动机) only to be sorry for the result. It is the nature of life that things will not happen as we hoped, but it is a mistake to connect our sense of self-respect with the achievements. How to develop respect for yourself Theme Keeping a sense of self-respect is of great ____76____.

Terry B Posted at 9:08 a.m. on 11th February 2024 I love UR idea. But why don’t U give UR old clothes to people in need? I even give away the most expensive things I don’t wear anymore.

I liked throwing stones because I had no other boys to play with and I became very skillful. One day a bird flew to a tree near me. I found a nice stone, and threw it with my best skill. It hit the bird on the head and it dropped dead. I was sorry the moment I saw it fall off the tree. But it was too late. All that long another bird flew about, and chirped so sadly that it made my heartache. At this moment I heard a voice, “Oh, boy, don’t throw stones at birds again.” “The stone can kill the bird and also hit yourself” an old woman said. She was very kind and friendly, and she told me her story. She loved small animals. One morning while she was walking in the park, she found two weak birds on the grass. She took them home and put them in a small cage（笼子）. She cared for them with love and the birds both grew strong. They thanked her with a wonderful song every morning. However something happened one day. She left the door of the cage open. The larger bird flew from the cage. She thought that it would fly back as it flew close, she caught it. She was excited to get it back. Suddenly she felt strane. She opened hands and looked sadly at the dead bird. Her great love killed the bird. The other bird was moving around in the cage. She could feel its great need for freedom. It wanted to fly into the clear and blue sky. At once she took the bird out of the cage and let it fly away. The bird circled once, twice. She enjoyed watching the bird flying and singing. Now I know a lesson. The easiest way to lose love is to hold it too tight, the best way to keep love is to give it wings. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 61.

What they keep on their shelves, in my eyes, is a reflection(反映) of their personal tastes and interests. The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life. My own shelves are a kind of roadmap through my life, telling a chronological tale. First up come my favorite childhood reads, like Water ship Down and His Dark Materials. The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school — Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Handmaid’s Tale and A Clockwork Orange. Finally, we come out of full-time education and enter the real world, and this part is a reflection of my professional(职业的) life, from the first exciting days of work experience to the present. If you pointed to any book on my shelves, I could name the year I got it, where I was working, and probably where I was living at the time. ▲ It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes, dreams and interests. And a big part of that story is how we arrange(排列) our books, and get on with them. It’s such a personal thing, different from each other. Some want to be with their books in every room, others have them on shelves, behind glass or simply lining their floors. Each home has a story to tell through the way they live with their books. It’s often said that what we read says something about who we are. The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves. From the pile of books on your bedside table to your well-organized shelves, whether we notice it or not, our book collections are telling a story before a single page has been turned. 66. What will the writer do if he is invited to somebody’s house? A. Choose a book to read. B. To talk about his books with the host C. To visit the study D. To buy some books for the best. 67.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了书架上的书反映了一个人的品味和兴趣。 【66题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Whenever I’m invited to somebody’s house for the first time, I’ll take a close look at their bookshelves.”可知，作者第一次拜访别人时，会看一下他们的书柜，因此推断是参观他们的书房。故选C。 【67题详解】 细节理解题。根据“My own shelves are a kind of road map through my life, telling a chronological tale.”可知，作者的书柜是根据作者的人生轨迹分类的。故选D。 【68题详解】 推理判断题。根据“It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes, dreams and interests.”可知，很容易知道别人的希望、梦想和兴趣，因此判断空格处要表达的是书的收藏可以了解一个人很多。故选C。 【69题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文“What they keep on their shelves, in my eyes, is a reflection(反映) of their personal tastes and interests.”可知，作者同意一个人放在书架上的东西是他们个人品味和兴趣的反映。因此，作者认为我们整理书籍的方式显示了我们的品味。故选B。 【70题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If you pointed to any book on my shelves, I could name the year I got it, where I was working, and probably where I was living at the time.”可知，作者能说出每本书的来历，以及什么时候读得，甚至当时住在哪儿，因此推断作者非常喜欢书，他是一名书籍爱好者。故选A。 (D) Do you find it hard to learn math and history? A recent study carried out by scientists from University of London, may be of help to you. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the morning and better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoon. The researchers did a study at a secondary school in Bulgaria over nine years. The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored on average (平均) 7 percent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon. Lower-ability students did worst when they were studying math in the afternoon. In history, students taught in the afternoon scored on average 6 percent higher than when they were taught in the morning. However, it doesn’t work for other subjects such as languages or geography. Velichka Dimitrova, leader of the study, said the findings show that we do better at different times of the day. “In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something that repeats a lot like problem solving, where we require more speed and attention,” Dimitrova told The Telegraph. “In the afternoon, it seems that this process (过程) slows down. On the other hand, history is better suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion,” she said. Subjects such as foreign languages require both memory and repetition (重复), and they also need people to be creative. This is perhaps why the time of day has no influence on learning. Time-of-day effects such as those are believed to be connected to the body clock. This is the system in our bodies that controls when we need to sleep. Some schools in the US and UK have tried out later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults. Dimitrova believes schools should take this chance to improve students’ performance just by changing their timetables. 71. According to the study, students taught in the morning do better in . A. history B. English C. geography D. math 72. It is believed that the time-of-day effects have something to do with a student’s . A. age B. hobby C. body clock D. learning habit 73.

Self-respect is a feeling of being happy about one’s characters, abilities and beliefs. Developing self-respect means developing self-confidence to deal with whatever life throws at us. The following are some ways we can improve our self-respect. There is great stress from parents, work and society to become a certain person and to achieve certain goals. A real self-respect is very important and you should believe in your own values and remember what is important to you. Everyone needs to follow his or her own path. Nobody likes criticism (批评). To keep a sense of self-respect, we need to learn how to deal with criticism. Don’t get sad by the things someone else says or does. Maybe it is completely untrue, so pay no attention to it. If there is some truth, we can use it to develop our characters. Jealousy (嫉妒) of other people’s success will cause the loss of our happiness and self-respect. Jealousy is simply envy of other people’s success. The truth is that there will always be some people more successful than us. The method for lasting self-respect is to be happy with others’ success. If you have no respect for others, how can you have self-respect? It isn’t right to feel better by putting others down. If we look for good qualities in other people, it is easier to remember the good qualities in ourselves. Forgive others and yourself. Don’t live in the past, but move on from the past mistakes and difficult situations. If your mind is full of problems in the past, you will always feel sad. Self-respect comes when we get tolerant. Sometimes we work with the best of motives (动机) only to be sorry for the result. It is the nature of life that things will not happen as we hoped, but it is a mistake to connect our sense of self-respect with the achievements.
