C。Angy D.Terrible 0 Have you ever paid attention to your school's security guards()or dining hall staff?Would you say "good moming"to your school's cleaners?For high school student Ding Jiacheng.it's a problem that many students ignore()the important jobs done by these non-teaching workers. The boy from Hangzhou,together with several other students,worked on a project called "The Invisible (隐身的)are Significant”.They hoped more students would see and respect the“invisible”staff in the school The project won a prize at China Thinks Big.a competition held by Harvard University and Tsinghua University to encourage teenagers to study social problems. "My team members and I sent questionnaires (to 158 students,"said Ding."In one question.56 percent of the students said they would greet those non-teaching workers.while only 17 percent strongly believe that every student should do so."The team also observed communications between students and workers."When most students follow the rules of their teachers,one-third of the students go against the rules of the dormitory attendants(宿舍管理员)，”said Ding.It shows that students treat non-teaching staff differently from teaching staff." The main reason.according to Ding,is that students know little about the work done by non-teaching workers.They also have few chances to communicate with them.Therefore,Ding's team shot videos to show staff working around schools.They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to increase their communication. "We've also made a series of stickers ().said Ding."We hope these cute images will help young people like the non-teaching staff more." 入年领（英语】 “The activity helped me understand that we can all make a positive impact(积极影响)through our creative ideas,"Ding said. 38.Why did Ding Jiacheng and his teammates start the project?

B.Which ways students use to help non-teaching staff C.How Ding's team worked on their project. D.Why many students don't follow school rules. 40.What can we learn from the passage? A.Students treat non-teaching staff the same as teaching staff B.High school students care more about the non-teaching staff. C.Students have many chances to get to know non-teaching staff D.Better communication can help students value the non-teaching staff. D Do you have good friends?Do you sometimes feel so close to them that they are like family to you? It turns out that this isn't just an expression.A study by Yale University has found that you and your friends have more genes()in common than strangers do.Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and compared them in pairs of unrelated friends and strangers.They found that friends have 1%of genes that match. “19%of genes may not sound证e much to the layperson(外行)，but to geneticists(遗传学家)it is a la缸ge number."Professor Nicholas Christakis of Yale University told Discovery News.In fact.this is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins,those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you. So do you happen to become friends with people who share your genes?Not at all.In fact,it is evolution ()that brings you together."People who share certain genes also share skills and have common likes and dislikes,"researchers said.In the old days,it was important that people who were alike stayed together.For example,people who were easily influenced by the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire.giving them a better chance to stay alive. Researchers also found that among all the genes studied,those producing a change in sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to the same environments.For example.people who like the smell of coffee may hang out at cafes more often and as a result are more likely to meet and become friends with each other. With their findings,the team has developed an interesting test called the"friendship score".It can help tell how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes. ↓3質（共4页） So,here is a question for you:would you like to take this test and know in advance (who your friends are going to be,or would you still prefer to leam about it by yourself and let time be the judge? 41.From the passage,we know that friends A.look like our cousins B.share 1%of genes with us C.feel close to our family D.can help us when we feel cold 42.The writer takes the example of people in the old days in Paragraph 4 to A.study how people dealt with the cold in the old days B.predict that the same environments lead to friendship C.show that it is evolution that brings friends together D.explain why people gave each other chance to keep alive 43.The underlined word"alike"in Paragraph 4 probably means" A.kind B.similar C.smart D.different 44.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.Friendship:Its Influence on People and Behavior. B.Friendship:Its Benefits to Teens and Decision Making. C.Friendship:Is It Necessary to Be Judged by Time? D.Friendship:Is It Possible to Be Influenced by Genes? 七、阅读与表达（共10分，45-47题每小题2分，48题4分） Jin Ying.25.is a lover of TCM-Traditional Chinese Medicine ()In the winter of 2023.she took part in a related training course at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Jin's life has been different since the training After leaming the Five Elements theory(五行学说)，she changed her life habits.For example,she avoided sweating()too much during exercise in winter as the cold of winter means people should slow down,according to TCM.For her,leaming these skills and theories was not about becoming a TCM doctor but rather about embracing (a new lifestyle. She is not an unusual example of young people becoming interested in TCM.A survey by China Youth Daily showed that 93.3 percent of the 1,000 young people who took part had tried different TCM treatments. "I have seen a rising number of young people come to me for neck and back pains.which are usually related to the elderly,"said Ma Huifang.a TCM doctor. Between Westem medicine and TCM,young people often choose TCM because it is effective(有效的)， according to Ma.Some people question why TCM treats the same illnesses with different prescriptions() "This is actually an advantage of TCM,rather than a bad thing.as it gives more accurate treatment for different patients,"Ma explained. Younger age groups are embracing TCM,and,at the same time.TCM is also benefiting young people.As Jin noted,"It helps young people understand Chinese medicine and learn why it is believed to be a treasure of our Chinese culture." 入年域（葵诱） 45.When did Jin Ying take part in a related training course? 46.What did Jin Ying do after leaming the Five Elements Theory? 47.Between Western medicine and TCM.why do young people often choose TCM? 48.Would you like to learn TCM in the future?Why? 八、语法填空（共9分，每小题1分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在给出提示词 的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 (A)It is good to relax by49(use)the Internet or watching game50(show).but we think the best way to relax is through exercise.It is 51(health)for the mind and the body.Exercise such as playing sports is fun.and you can spend time52 your friends and family as you play together.And remember.
