So what if all children in the school were given an iPad to use in class and take home with them? Anne Laure Bazin works in a school where every child, teacher and teaching assistant is given a free iPad to use in and out of lessons. The main advantage of everyone having an iPad has been the improvement in communication. Documents can be emailed straight over to workmates during a meeting. Children hand in their homework by e-mail or through the school’s learning environment. Teachers now take the register using the iPad, which means that there is a centralized record of which children are in school, and which classroom they are in. The use of iPads has encouraged greater sharing of resources among teachers. All communication with parents is now done by e-mail. Working as a group in class is much easier as children can share documents. The whole class can look at one child’s book by attaching the iPad to the whiteboard. Has forgotten the textbook. The teacher can take a photograph of the relevant and send it to the student in class. While the use of the iPad in schools has revolutionized the way children are taught, it hasn’t completely replaced more traditional methods of teaching. Worksheets are still used in class as some children prefer the contact. The children all have a textbook and exercise books. In Anne Laure’s school, Parents feared that the iPads would replace and the children would lose handwriting skills. Anne Laure says, “The teachers are not ready to let go of the traditional style of teaching. We have welcomed the iPads in so much as they help communication and widen the resources that can be used. But we are not ready to let go of paper yet. The children themselves still value their exercise books and depend on them for revision.” 4. What can teachers do when everyone uses an iPad in school? A. They can have deep conversations with students. B. They can have more time to prepare the lessons. C. They can learn more about students’ activities at home. D. They can communicate with their workmates more conveniently. 5. What is an advantage of using iPads in the classroom? A. It saves students bringing the textbooks. B. It reduces parents’ worry about teaching. C. It improves the relationship between teachers. D. It makes sharing information easier. 6. What is parents’ attitude towards the use of iPads in the classroom? A. Worried. B. Uncaring. C. Annoyed. D. Positive. 7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Teachers prefer traditional methods of teaching. B. The iPads won’t take the place of printed materials. C. More and more schools are using iPads. D. Exercise books are more valuable now. C Record fires sweeping across the Amazon this month have been catching global headlines as scientists and environmental groups are worried that they will worsen climate change and threaten biodiversity(生物多样性). As the largest rainforest in the world, the Amazon is often called “the lungs of the world”. It is also home to about 3 million pieces of plants and animals, and one million local people. The vast lands of rainforest play an important role in the world’s ecosystem because they take in heat instead of it being reflected back into the atmosphere. They also store carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) and produce oxygen, making sure that less carbon is given off, mitigating the effects of climate change. “Any forest destroyed is a threat to biodiversity and the people who use that biodiversity,” Thomsa Lovejoy, an ecologist at George Mason University told National Geographic. “The shocking threat is that a lot of carbon goes into the atmosphere,” he stressed. “Facing the global climate change, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity. The Amazon must be protected.” UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said. Data from the National Institute for Space Research(INPE) Show that the number of forest fires in Brazil quickly increased by 82% from January to August this year from a year ago. A total of 71,497 forest fires were recorded in the country in the first eight months of 2019, up from 39,194 in the same period in 2018, INPE said. “It’s reported that the forest areas in the Brazilian Amazon have decreased something between 20 and 30% compared to the last 12 months,” Carlos Nobre, a researcher at the University of Sao Paulo, told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle. Brazil owns about 60% of the Amazon rainforest, whose drop could have severe results for global climate and rainfall. The size of the area burned by fires has yet to be determined, but the emergency has transcended Brazil’s borders, reaching Peruvian, Paraguayan and Bolivian areas. 8. What is the second paragraph mainly talking about? A. The effects of climate change? B. The role of the Amazon rainforest. C. The results of the Amazon rainforest fires. D. The courses of the decreasing biodiversity. 9. Which of the following best explains mitigating underlined in paragraph 2? A. Reducing. B. Causing. C. Worsening D. Benefiting 10. What can we learn from Thomas’ and Antonio’s words? A. The biodiversity makes the rainforests unique. B. The rainforest fires result in serious results. C. The global climate crisis brings more rainforest fires. D. The dry weather leads to the rainforest fires. 11. Which section of a magazine is this text probably taken from? A. Sports and music. B. Science and technology. C. Nature and geography. D. Business and culture. D You eat food and drink water, right? Skipping Rocks Lab is changing how you and your future generations will have water. Have you ever thought you could eat water? Think again, this is actually happening somewhere in the world. The group at Skipping Rocks Lab has made a water bottle you can eat. The product is called Ooho. Unlike plastic bottles, Oohos are neither tall nor hard. They look more like bubbles, or small, round, clear balls. They can hold liquid inside. People who drink Oohos can be surprised: the outside bursts in the mouth. Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez is with Skipping Rocks Lab. He explains that the outside, or the membrane, of Ooho is made of seaweed, a plant that grows in the ocean. “It’s a membrane made of seaweed that can contain water or any kind of liquid. It’s made from an extract (汁) of the brown seaweed.” The Ooho membrane is tasteless, and you can eat it. The company says even if you throw away the membrane, it will break down in about four weeks. Gonzalez says the membrane is strong, and good for the environment. Every year, billions of plastic water bottles are thrown away, polluting land and waterways around the world. The typical water bottle made of plastic can take hundreds of years to degrade. Lise Honsinger is also with Skipping Rocks Lab. “Most people just grab a bottle of water, hold it for five minutes, drink it, and throw it away. How can that then exist for 700 years? So, yeah, this is absolutely a solution to that. We are very purist: we don’t want to see this packaged in plastic.” There are limits to the Ooho. It cannot be refilled. Each bottle is small. And Oohos do not store for more than a few days. The Skipping Rocks Lab is working on those issues. “We’re still working on things like extending the shelf life, looking at different options in terms of thickness, if we want to make one that stands up more, or more flexible for marathons where people just want to eat it whole.” Right now, Skipping Rocks Lab can make only a few thousand Oohos a day. But it is developing new technology that could increase that number to hundreds of thousands. I’m Caty Weaver. Kevin Enochs wrote this story. Anne Ball adapted it for Learning English. Kelly Jean Kelly was the editor. 12. The advantage of Oohos is that ______. A. Oohos can be stored over a long period B. Oohos can degrade easily and quickly C. Oohos may bring convenience to people D. Oohos can help the world save water 13. What can we know about the Ooho membrane? A. It can hold anything inside. B. The shelf life of it is not long. C. Its production is very low now. D. It is environmentally friendly. 14. Where does this passage come from? A. A news report. B. A speech draft. C. A radio speech. D. A website. 15. What might be the best title? A Eating water — a long way to go B. Ooho — a useful product C. New water bottles help fight pollution D. Ooho bursts in your mouth 七选五（每小题2.5分 共12.5分） By deciding to lead a healthy life, you are deciding to take full control of your own habits. ____16____ But how can you make it?

How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well. Paragraph 1: As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. “What’s in your hands, my dear?” their mother asked. “Happy Mother’s Day, it’s your French breakfast, cooked by us!”, said the twins in cheerful voice. At the sight of the French toast and porridge, their mum let out a cry, “What a surprise!” Tears welled up in her eyes, She ate up the porridge and bread, and asked, “You did it all by yourselves?” “It’s a secret!” said their father when he came in. “Yes, it’s a secret, hahaha” answered the twins. The early sunlight streaming in, the whole family bathed in love in happiness. 听力答案：1-20 CBBCC CCAAB BAAAB CBCBA 江苏省昆山中学2023级高一英语周测二 考试时间90分钟，满分150分 听力（每小题1.5分，共30分） 1. Where is Amy now? A. In Seoul.
