Instagram lets users post photos and videos for their users to check them out and be updated about what is going on in their lives. Teens with enough followers are getting deals from brands to promote products and earn an income. WhatsApp WhatsApp has literally replaced text messages. WhatsApp allows you to send and receive messages by using the Internet connection of your phone. It allows sending images, GIFs, videos, voice clips and documents. Users can upload Status that stay for contacts to watch for 24 hours. Snapchat Snapchat is a visual social media platform. Snapchat lets users share Snaps which could be photos or videos. The video duration can be of 60 seconds and Snapchat deletes the Snap as soon as the target user checks it out. This temporary nature of the app was originally designed to encourage a more natural flow of interaction. There is also the feature of uploading stories. Snapchat comes with a filter function that lets you add special effects. You can even add 3D special effects for a better look. YouTube YouTube needs no introduction and it is undoubtedly one of the popular apps for teens. It is a popular video-sharing service where people can upload and watch videos. Even parents encourage kids to use YouTube to find educational videos. Users can search for any topic and find a relevant video. That is why YouTube has become the new search engine among teens. 21. What is special about Instagram? A. Its users can make money. B. Its users can receive documents. C. Its users can become famous stars. D. Its users can send messages for free. 22. What encourages a more natural flow of interaction on Snapchat? A. Uploading stories. B. Having a filter function. C. Adding 3D special effects. D. Letting the Snap last a short time. 23. Which app can be used as a search engine? A. Instagram. B. WhatsApp. C. Snapchat. D. YouTube. B I’ve been teaching college English for over 30 years. Four years ago I stopped putting grades on written work and started my journey toward what’s called “ungrading”. In continuing it throughout, I have seen it transform my teaching and my students’ learning. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. Starting in elementary school, teachers rate student work—sometimes with stars and checkmarks, sometimes with actual grades. By middle school a system of grading is usually firmly in place. In the US, the most common system is an “A” for superior work, an “F” for failure, with an “E” almost always skipped. This system of grading is so widespread as to seem necessary, even though many researchers say it is highly inequitable (不公正的). For example, students who come into a course with little prior knowledge earn lower grades at the start, which means they get a lower final average, even if they ultimately master the material. Grades have other problems: They are demotivating, they don’t actually measure learning and they increase students’ stress. I stopped putting grades on written work because I found when I put a grade on a piece of writing, students focused solely on that. Removing the grade forced students to pay attention to my comments. More importantly, I was concerned with equity. For almost 10 years my studies confirmed that sometimes what I was really grading was a student’s background. Students with educational privilege came into my classroom already preparing to write A or B papers while others often didn’t have the instruction that would enable them to do so. I wanted to change that. So freed from the heavy burden of determining a grade, I wrote meaningful comments, suggested improvements, and entered into a dialogue with my students that felt more productive—that felt more like an extension of the classroom. Now, I see students from all backgrounds benefit from my coaching, but perhaps even more from the freedom to decide for themselves what really matters in their reading and writing. And I benefit too, from the opportunity to help them learn and grow without the control of the grade. 24. What does the author probably think of his “ungrading” decision 4 years ago? A. Risky. B. Short-sighted. C. Wise. D. Ill-considered. 25. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Problems with students’ learning activities. B. Shortcomings of the traditional grading system. C. Teachers’ concern over students’ learning results. D. Researchers’ wide recognition of the ungrading method. 26. What was the author’s main reason for choosing the ungrading system? A. To relieve himself of heavy teaching burdens. B. To educate students about educational fairness. C. To encourage students to focus more on the classroom. D. To reduce the impact of students’ educational backgrounds. 27. What does the author learn from his ungrading experience? A. Promoting ungrading at universities is beneficial. B. Adopting flexible teaching methods is important. C. Changing the teaching evaluation system is essential. D. Keeping a close connection with students is necessary. C Human-led deforestation is linked to less rain in tropical rainforests,according to a new study. Robust (强健的) forests help produce rainfall in a process called moisture recycling. Essentially, trees absorb rainwater and release its moisture back into the atmosphere, contributing to cloud formation and, consequently, more rain. In regions downwind of the Amazon, for example, up to 70 percent of rain could come from the forest-driven cloud formation. This means that when the region is deforested, downwind areas face drier, harsher climates. The researchers examined precipitation (降水量) and deforestation patterns in the Amazon rainforest, Congo Basin and Southeast Asia, which hosts the Leuser Ecosystem, a forested area of Indonesia. Using satellite data from 2003 to 2017, they identified significant drops in average rainfall in each of these regions. The impacts were visible even at small scales,but the most dramatic changes could be seen over wide areas: At the scale of about 15,500 square miles, scientists found that rainfall decreased 0.25 millimeters per month for every percentage point of forest loss. Experts warn the Amazon is approaching a “tipping point” that will result in drier conditions, turning its leafy vegetation into a savanna (稀树草原). The rainforest has been nicknamed the “lungs of the planet” for the way it sucks up vast amounts CO 2 each year. “The Amazon is important for everyone in the world. When humanity faces problems in the future that we don’t even imagine now, the solutions can come from the Amazon. But once we deforest, we’ll lose one of our greatest natural defenses in protecting ourselves from climate change,” says Robin Averbeck, forest program director at the Rainforest Action Network. However, efforts to stop deforestation are complex. In the Congo Basin, for example, much of the forest loss is due to poor, small-scale farmers trying to survive. Frances Seymour, senior fellow at the nonprofit World Resources Institute, says it’s important to distinguish corporations and governments engaging in deforestation practices from local communities who are trying to make a living. And apparently, compared with the idea that forests should be conserved to store carbon, the immediate effects of forest conservation on hydrology (水文) are more alluring to those who live near the trees. 28. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. The biggest cause of deforestation. B. The way forests react to climate change. C. The reason why deforestation affects rainfall. D. The key factor that influences cloud formation. 29. How did the researchers carry out the study? A. By doing experiments. B. By analyzing previous data. C. By measuring the areas of some forests. D. By collecting information about climate change. What can we learn from Robin Averbeck’s word 30. What can we learn from Robin Averbeck’s words in the last but one paragraph? A. There are many problems to be solved in the Amazon. B. The destruction of the Amazon rainforest hit a new record. C. Climate change could cause problems we can’t imagine now. D. The Amazon can act as an important safeguard for the world. 31. What does the underlined word “alluring” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Appealing. B. Interesting. C. Surprising. D. Inspiring. D It appears that language can have a fascinating effect on the way we think about time and space. A growing number of experts believe language can influence how we think just as our thoughts and culture can shape how language develops. Cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky, one of the pioneers of research into how language influences our thoughts, has shown that in English and many other European languages, people typically view the past as being behind us and the future in front of us. But in Aymara, spoken by the Aymara people who live in the Andes in Bolivia, Chile, Peru and Argentina, the word for future means “behind time”. And when the Aymara talk about the future, they tend to make backward gestures, whereas people who speak Spanish, for example, view the future as being ahead of them and make forward gestures. Languages also encode time in their grammar. In English, for example, the future is one of three simple tenses, along with the past and the present—we say “it rained”, “it rains” and “it will rain”. But in German, you can say Morgen regnet, which means “it rains tomorrow”—you don’t need to build the future into the grammar. The same is true for many other languages, including Mandarin (普通话). But does this affect how we think? In 2013, Keith Chen, a behavioral economist at the University of California, Los Angeles, set out to test whether people who speak languages that are “futureless” might feel closer to the future than those who speak other languages. And he discovered that speakers of futureless languages were more likely to engage in future- focused activities. They were 31% more likely to have put money into savings in any given year and had accumulated 39% more wealth by retirement. They were also 24% less likely to smoke, 29% more likely to be physically active, and 13% less likely to be medically obese (肥胖的).This result held even when controlling for factors such as socioeconomic status and religion. It is becoming increasingly clear that language is influencing how we think about the world around us and our passage through it. And while being multilingual won’t necessarily make us a genius, we all can gain a fresh perspective and a more flexible understanding of the world by learning a new language. 32. What do the Aymara tend to do when they talk about the future? A. They keep stepping forward. B. They look backwards now and then. C. They put their hands behind their backs. D. They point their hand backwards as a gesture. 33. What did Keith Chen want to find out by carrying out the study? A. How the future tense is used in different languages. B. How language affects the speaker’s sense of the future. C. How speakers of different languages overcome language barriers. D. How people distinguish between “futureless” and “future” languages. 34. What can we learn about speakers of futureless languages? A. They are anxious about their future. B. They can hardly control their weight. C. They look forward to their retirement. D. They like to prepare for the future. 35. What does the author encourage us to do in the last paragraph? A. To learn as many languages as possible. B. To find similarities between languages. C. To know the world better through a new language. D. To change the way we compare different languages. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Online meetings are gatherings that take place by using the Internet as the medium of real-time communication. 36 Instead, they use the World Wide Web to create a virtual meeting place that can be accessed with proper accounts. One of the most common ways of holding online meetings is to create a private chat room. 37 Then, the chairperson invites the attendees to enter the room. Once everyone is ready, the meeting can take place by typing messages into the common chat board or using the audio function equipped with speakers and microphones connected to each attendee’s computer. 38 Firstly, they provide a convenient way for people to connect anytime and anywhere. Secondly, they offer an interactive way for attendees to communicate with each other. Many online meeting services make it possible to take advantage of such features as collaboration ( 协作 ), multiple chairpersons, and password-protected meeting sites. However, there are some challenges with online meetings. Some applications are annoying and difficult to use, and they sometimes result in inefficient meetings. 39 In spite of a few disadvantages, there is no doubt that online meetings are accepted by more and more firms. 40 At the same time, organizations can also use online meetings to great advantage, both for internal purposes and for effective communication with supporters of the organization. A. Online meetings have several advantages. B. The attendees need not gather in one specific location. C. These meetings should be simple to join and easy to control. D. Some applications can focus on many types of communication. E. That’s because they can save companies a lot of time and money. F. Besides, they can hardly tell who is late and who is making background noise. G. In the meantime, each attendee sets up an account with the chat room provider. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 1997, I worked at a gas station with a laundromat (自助洗衣店) and for $2 a bag we’d wash, dry and fold.

I knew from my days volunteering in the school that students and staff got overheated and that it was difficult for them to concentrate. As a long-time master gardener, I knew trees could shade those classroom windows and reduce the temperatures inside to relatively comfortable levels. If benches and trees were added, the front yard would be transformed into a beautiful outdoor classroom, one that would encourage teachers to bring their students outside to learn. And I imagined how wonderful it would be for our district’s kids, many of whom live in apartment buildings without yards or green space, to experience the happiness of sitting on a bench under a leafy green tree during their school day. Then, I met with the school’s Parent-Teacher Association and told my idea of changing the school’s front yard. And I expressed my willingness to organize the project. The group liked the idea but thought it was too difficult. However, several days later, the principal told me, “I had further discussions with my staff. We all think you are very kind. We want to work with you to transform our school’s front yard.” Later, I found a professional landscape designer who promised to design our front yard free of charge. After that, I found a local company that promised to deliver topsoil (表土) at a deeply discounted price when we were ready to transform our front yard. Then I contacted a charity, which promised to provide us with various shade trees for free that would grow well in our area. And it would send a professional crew to help us plant the trees. Then, we named our future front yard “The Habitat for Living & Learning”. At this point, we spoke with everyone we knew about the Habitat for Living & Learning. The hard work of spreading topsoil, digging and planting was scheduled to begin within weeks. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 So we posted the tasks in the school’s front hall where everyone could see them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Soon, everyone—students, staff and volunteers—began working to spread the topsoil. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 www.21cnjy.com 精品试卷·第 2 页 （共 2 页） 第 12 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 扬州大学附属中学2024.4 月考答案 1—5 BACCC 6—10ACCAC 11—15 BCAAC 16—20 CABAC 21-25 ADDCB 26-30 DACBD 31-35 ADBDC 36-40 BGAFE 41-45 CABDC 46-50 BACAD 51-55 CABCD 56.

Here are my reasons. Firstly, you can enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery,which is one of the most useful ways to relieve academic pressure and relax. Secondly, it is a great place to broaden your horizons and feel the seasonal changes, where you have a chance to get close to nature and therefore love it. If possible, litter clean-up activities can also be arranged to strengthen your awareness of environmental protection. I hope my suggestions will be of some help to you. Yours, Li Hua One possible version: So we posted the tasks in the school’s front hall where everyone could see them.We spoke about them at local meetings,school events and one-on-one in the community. People in our community were so kind and we received donations and offers to help with the planting. One sunny day, two weeks after my first conversation with the principal and his staff, huge trucks filled with topsoil arrived at the school. Students and staff lined up before the classroom windows, cheering and waving. And many adults, including parents, were chatting enthusiastically. Soon, everyone—students, staff and volunteers—began working to spread the topsoil. It took several days, and then the trees arrived. All worked in shifts alongside the crew for a full day, digging holes, watering trees, etc. Although it was tiring, no one complained or quit. Today, leafy green trees shade formerly hot classrooms. Classes are regularly held in the Habitat for Living & Learning. Students read there during English, do nature-based experiments during Science, and draw pictures during Art. They are so happy. My heart glows every time I walk by this transformed school. 1． 【原文】M: I couldn’t get on the bus without coins and my phone today. Luckily, someone paid for me. W: Wow! Although this is only a small thing, it will make people feel warm. M: Yes. I’m in a good mood all day. 2． 【原文】W: Hello, Mr. Smith. I’m afraid Dr. Brown won’t be able to see you today. He’s still waiting for a flight out of New York. He said he would meet you tomorrow afternoon. Is it OK? M: Sounds good. Thanks for calling. 3．【原文】M: Let’s enjoy a movie tonight! W: Okay. Which one do you want to see, Lost in the Stars, Never Say Never or Chang’an? M: Chang’an. It’s good for our kids to learn more about Li Bai. 4．【原文】M: Isn’t this your usual stop? W: Yes, but today I’m going to the library. M: Oh, then you should get off at the next stop and walk to Clifton Street. 5．【原文】W: Is there any behavior you don’t like at the movie theater? M: Of course. I can’t stand people sending texts during the show. W: I see. And some people like kicking the front seat or leaving halfway, which affects my mood. 6. 【原文】M：Oh, there you are. What have you been doing? W：I’ve been shopping. M：I met the Popes’ son, Norman, while I was waiting for you. He’s just come back from France. W：Yes, I know. Mrs Pope told me. She’s very proud of him. She says he speaks French well. M：How long has he been learning it? W：I'm not sure. M：What did you say? W：I said I'm not sure. I think he’s been studying French since he was twelve. M：Who’s been studying French? W：Norman has. Have you gone deaf or something? M：I can’t hear you. The noise of the traffic is really bad. W：Yes, it is. Goodness, I’m tired. I’ve been walking round the shops for nearly three hours. 7.【原文】M: I don’t know how much longer I can stand this pain. The dentist doesn’t know what’s wrong. My regular doctor doesn’t know what’s wrong. Where can I go to find out how to fix my problem? W: Is it your mouth again? M: Yeah, the left side of my mouth. It hurts like crazy! I can hardly sleep at night. W: I guess you should go to an expert, then. Can’t your doctor or dentist tell you where to go? M: They haven’t been too helpful. Maybe I should go straight to the emergency room at the hospital. W: That might be a good idea. It’s Saturday, so you don’t have to worry about going to work. Want me to drive you there? M: Yeah, I guess I should do it now. I’ll get ready. I’m not looking forward to this. I wonder what they’ll find. 8.【原文】M: I’m sorry, I’m late again. The traffic was horrible. W: Well, that’s OK. But the schoolmaster wants to see you. He asked about you this morning. M: Oh, that’s too bad. I am going to see him now. W: You’d better go and see him after 10:00. He isn’t in his office. He is having a meeting now. M: To tell the truth, Mrs Wilson, I don’t want to be late. But you see, the traffic is always so heavy. How can I not be late? W: You should get up earlier. M: It’s no use. Every time the alarm clock rings, I stop it. You know, it’s difficult for me to wake up that early. W: Why don’t you buy a bike? That would be faster. M: I guess so. 9.【原文】W: Dad, don’t wait for me for dinner tomorrow. I’ll go to attend a party. M: Is someone having her birthday? W: No, Jenny is throwing a party at her house in Hill Peak this Friday. You know she is moving to New York next week. M: I see. The closing time of the subway in that area is pretty early. Do you need me to pick you up when the party is done. W: Or maybe you can let me drive your car? M: No, you just got your license. It’s not safe. W: Oh, come on. Fine, I’ll let you know when it’s over. By the way, what gift should I bring for Jenny? M: I’m not sure. Some flowers? Or some chocolate, maybe? W: Well, I’m thinking something that will last, something special. M: How about the wooden boat you made for months? I remember Jenny liked it very much last time she saw it. W: You’re a genius, Daddy! Thank you. 10.【原文】Good afternoon! Thank you for coming to the international student office’s first meeting for students going abroad to South America, next autumn. If you haven’t yet signed our name list, be sure to do it on your way out. This meeting is a must for you, so you need to make sure we know you’re here. Today, let’s talk about health and the necessary procedures to get your student visa. All of you should gather health information, such as evidence from your doctors that you don’t have any serious diseases. All the information about the procedures can be found in your host country brochure. You are also required to meet with a doctor at the student health center. The health center can give you information about appointment times, but please book your appointment early, because the expert is only on duty at certain times. Remember, you should have your meeting at least four to six weeks before your trip. www.21cnjy.com 精品试卷·第 2 页 （共 2 页） 第 12 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
