You can do no wrong with these lakes across the globe. Five Flower Lake Set in the striking karst landscape of the Jiuzhaigou Valley in Sichuan province, China, Five Flower Lake is extraordinarily clear, with visibility to a depth of 40 metres. Five Flower is one of a series of blue-, green-and sky-colored lakes blocked by rock falls, but it differs from the others as its waters change color, looking sometimes yellow, sometimes green, but usually diamond blue. In winter, Five Flower never freezes; in summer, it never dries up. Local wildlife living in the surrounding mountain forests include the rare giant panda and the golden snub-nose monkey. Crater Lake The deep-blue waters of Crater Lake in Oregon, US, fill the outlet of an ancient volcano that collapsed 7,700 years ago. Its strangest occupant is the “Old Man of the Lake”, a nine-metre-tall tree stump(树桩), which has stood upright in the water for more than a century. No rivers or streams enter the lake. Water loss in summer is compensated by winter snow and rain, the entire body of water being replaced every 250 years. Lake Ohrid Ancient Lake Ohrid has been around for about five million years and crosses the mountainous border between Macedonia and Albania. It has unique plants and wildlife, including the Ohrid “plashica”, a fish native to the lake, whose scales(鳞片) are used to make Ohrid pearls. Lake Maggiore Surrounded on three sides by the Lipontine Alps and touching the plain of Lombardy to the south, Lake Maggiore is Italy’s longest lake. Considered part of the country’s lake district, it is shared with Switzerland. Characterized by a Mediterranean-style climate, temperatures here are mild all year. This has given rise to some of northern Italy’s most wonderful gardens, which appear to float like flower-decked boats on the water. 1. What makes Five Flower Lake different from other lakes? A. Its agreeable climate. B. The rare local wildlife. C. Its color-changing waters. D. The visibility of waters. 2. How does Crater Lake mainly get water supply? A. By artificial rain. B. By snow and rain. C. From nearby streams. D. From an ancient tree. 3. Which lake has a typical warm climate? A. Five Flower Lake. B. Crater Lake. C. Lake Ohrid. D. Lake Maggiore. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个世界上著名湖泊。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据介绍“Five Flower Lake”的句子“Five Flower is one of a series of blue-, green-and sky-colored lakes blocked by rock falls, but it differs from the others as its waters change color, looking sometimes yellow, sometimes green, but usually diamond blue.（五花湖是一系列蓝色、绿色和天空色的湖泊之一，被岩石瀑布阻挡，但它与其他湖泊不同，因为它的水会变色，有时看起来是黄色，有时是绿色，但通常是钻石蓝色）”可知，Five Flower Lake与其它湖泊的不同之处在于它的水会变色。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据介绍“Crater Lake”的句子“No rivers or streams enter the lake. Water loss in summer is compensated by winter snow and rain, the entire body of water being replaced every 250 years.（没有河流或溪流进入湖中。夏季的水损失由冬季的雪和雨补偿，整个水体每250年更换一次）”可知，Crater Lake中的水主要来自冬季的雪和雨。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据介绍“Lake Maggiore”的句子“Characterized by a Mediterranean-style climate, temperatures here are mild all year.（这里具有地中海式的气候特点，全年气温温和）”可知，Lake Maggiore有典型的温暖气候。故选D项。 B Katie always wanted to be a performer．She, the youngest of the three kids from Cleveland, was crazy about musicals and Disney movies from an early age and would often watch them singing with her mom, Karen．However, Katie's happy childhood took a-turn when her mother was diagnosed(诊断)with cancer．When the doctor informed the family that Karen's disease was terminal, they decided to make a trip to Disney World． The family spared no expense for their once-in-a-lifetime vacation and stayed at Disney's hotel for eight nights．They spent their days in the parks, seeing the sights, greeting characters, all the while pushing Karen in her wheelchair and watching her face light up with joy．They all shared in the merriment of experiencing the parks for the first time with Karen．The trip to Disney World at the height of Karen's battle with cancer allowed them to escape into a world of magic and laughter．This was the day Katie decided she wanted to work for Disney． Sadly, Karen lost the battle and died later, but the whole family remembered her every day and often thought of that Disney vacation．Katie went on to go after her dream．After she received her degree in musical theater, she struggled for years, working as a waitress and trying to be a performer．Her hard work finally paid off when she was hired to work for Disney． As a Disney performer, Katie is aware that many other families visit the parks and have similar stories to her own．She encourages everyone, especially children, who may be experiencing a hard time．“Every moment is meant for you, even the painful ones．” she says．“It's just like in your favorite Disney movie: There is always some kind of conflict or hardship or pressure．Remember to celebrate those moments, too, because they are taking you to whatever your version of a happy ending is．” 4.

This was the day Katie decided she wanted to work for Disney.”可知在Karen与癌症斗争最激烈的时候，他们去了迪士尼乐园，这让他们放慢了脚步，进入了一个充满魔法和欢笑的世界。就在那天，Katie决定要为迪斯尼工作。由此可知，迪士尼假期给她的家庭带来了巨大的快乐，让Katie决定为迪斯尼工作。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“After she received her degree in musical theater, she struggled for years, working as a waitress and trying to be a performer. Her hard work finally paid off when she was hired to work for Disney.”可知Katie的母亲得了癌症去世后，Katie也没有自暴自弃而是勇敢去追求她的梦想，说明她是一个坚强的人。后来Katie继续追求自己的演艺生涯，经过一番努力，最后取得了成功，说明她是个有决心的人。由此可推知，Katie是个坚强和有决心的人。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“She encourages everyone, especially children, who may be experiencing a hard time. “Every moment -is meant for you, even the painful ones.” she says. “It’s just like in your favorite Disney movie: There is always some kind of conflict or hardship or pressure. Remember to celebrate those moments, too, because they are taking you to whatever your version of a happy ending is.””可知她鼓励每个人，尤其是孩子们，因为他们可能正在经历一段艰难的时期。“每一刻都是为你准备的，即使是那些痛苦的时刻。”她说。“这就像你最喜欢的迪斯尼电影一样：总是有一些冲突、困难或压力。记住，也要庆祝这些时刻，因为它们会带你走向你心目中的幸福结局。”由此推知，Katie在最后一段中传达了“苦尽甘来”的意思。故选A项。 C Outside of Asia, Madagascar has the longest tradition of rice production, and this crop is grown in almost all districts of the country. For the Malagasy people, rice is an important part of their diet: many families eat it three times a day, and most of it is homegrown. In Madagascar, however, people earn less than $1.90 per day on average, and the Malagasy population is severely affected by food shortages. Domestic (国内的) production of rice, for example, still does not meet the needs of the island, and the country has to rely heavily on imported rice to help ensure the nation has enough food. Madagascar has set itself the goal of being rice self-sufficient. To work towards this, an FAO South-South Cooperation project began between China and Madagascar. Chinese experts on rice production came to Madagascar to provide training to farmers on how to grow and harvest a greater-yielding (更高产的) type of rice. The new kind of rice seeds is better suited to the Malagasy subtropical climate, which consists of a hot and rainy season between November and the end of March and a cooler dry season from May to October. This Weichu rice variety has been especially developed to fit the climatic and soil conditions of Madagascar. Across three areas of the island, 124 rice farmers took part in the project, working together with a Chinese expert team, to benefit from both theoretical and field training on rice production. To date, the harvest has yielded about 8.45 tonnes on average per hectare (公顷) compared to the 2.8 tonnes per hectare that was harvested before the project. Alain Randrianarivelo, who has farmed rice for more than 20 years, says,“I think this new variety of rice is the future of our agriculture. The yield obtained is breathtaking.”All the other participating farmers think so, too. For Madagascar as a country, this new variety will allow it to be self-sufficient by considerably reducing the level of rice imports. 8. What did the Chinese experts mainly do in Madagascar? A. They made efforts to improve the land. B. They developed new rice seeds in poor soil. C. They introduced ways to earn a good living. D. They taught locals how to grow a new kind of rice. 9. Why is the Weichu rice variety used in Madagascar? A. It meets the high demands of the Malagasy people. B. It suits the varying conditions there. C. It is the best rice variety worldwide. D. It can be grown twice a year there. 10. What can be inferred about the 124 rice farmers in the project? A. They are far-sighted. B. They are pioneers in farming. C. They find the yield fairly satisfying. D. They doubt the advanced farming technique. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. Doing experiments in Madagascar B. Increasing types of Madagascan rice C. Bringing Madagascar into the future D. Helping Madagascar become rice self-sufficient 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了马达加斯加国内的大米生产仍然不能满足该岛的需求，该国不得不严重依赖进口大米来帮助确保国家有足够的粮食，于是中国专家在马达加斯加主要他们教当地人如何种植一种新的水稻，帮助帮助马达加斯加实现大米自给自足。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To work towards this, an FAO South-South Cooperation project began between China and Madagascar. Chinese experts on rice production came to Madagascar to provide training to farmers on how to grow and harvest a greater-yielding (更高产的) type of rice.(为此，粮农组织在中国和马达加斯加之间启动了一个南南合作项目。中国水稻生产专家来到马达加斯加，为农民提供如何种植和收获高产水稻的培训)”可知，中国专家在马达加斯加主要他们教当地人如何种植一种新的水稻。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This Weichu rice variety has been especially developed to fit the climatic and soil conditions of Madagascar.(这种威楚水稻品种是专门为适应马达加斯加的气候和土壤条件而开发的)”可知，在马达加斯加使用威楚水稻品种因为它适合那里不同的条件。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Alain Randrianarivelo, who has farmed rice for more than 20 years, says,“I think this new variety of rice is the future of our agriculture. The yield obtained is breathtaking.” All the other participating farmers think so, too.( Alain Randrianarivelo种植水稻已有20多年，他说：“我认为这种新型水稻是我们农业的未来。获得的收益是惊人的。”所有其他参与的农民也都这么认为)”可推知，该项目的124名稻农发现产量相当令人满意。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“For Madagascar as a country, this new variety will allow it to be self-sufficient by considerably reducing the level of rice imports.(对于马达加斯加这个国家来说，这种新品种将大大减少大米进口，从而使其能够自给自足)”结合文章主要说明了马达加斯加国内的大米生产仍然不能满足该岛的需求，该国不得不严重依赖进口大米来帮助确保国家有足够的粮食，于是中国专家在马达加斯加主要他们教当地人如何种植一种新的水稻，帮助帮助马达加斯加实现大米自给自足。由此可知，D选项“帮助马达加斯加实现大米自给自足”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D Cyberbullying (网络霸凌) has become quite severe across the United States. But what exactly is cyber-bullying? It’s when someone repeatedly and intentionally harasses (侵扰), humiliates (羞辱), mistreats, makes fun of, or threatens another person online or while using cell phones or other electronic devices. According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, 59% of U. S. teens have experienced at least one of six identified types of abusive online behaviors. Those behaviors include name-calling (42%), having false rumors spread about them on the internet (32%), receiving explicit images that they didn’t ask for (25%), or being the target of physical threats (16%). The peers of some teens have even posted humiliating web pages or videos, or created embarrassing images on social media platforms. Others have taken unauthorized (未授权的) photos or videos in a bedroom, bathroom, or another location considered private, and posted them online for the world to view, rate, share, and discuss. There are many reasons to monitor your son or daughter’s online behavior and pay close attention to the warning signs. Among the most worrisome, students who experienced bullying or cyberbullying are significantly more likely to attempt to take their own life. “If your child suddenly has no interest in their electronic devices, appears jumpy or nervous while using their phone, or appears angry, frustrated, or depressed after going online or gaming, then they may be experiencing cyberbullying,” says Sameer Hinduja, Ph. D., co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center and professor of Criminology at Florida Atlantic University. Also, if your child avoids conversations about what they’re doing online, becomes unusually secretive when it comes to their phone or electronic devices, or makes excuses to stay home from school, they may be the target of online bullying. 12. What is the purpose of citing the numbers in the second paragraph? A. To show the emphasis from the society. B. To display how cyberbullying works on children. C. To show the severeness of cyberbullying on children. D. To show how researchers conduct their survey. 13. Which of the following doesn’t belong to cyberbullying? A. Name-calling teens on the Internet. B. Spreading false rumors of teens online. C. Posting pictures online for the world to view. D. Posting humiliating web pages or videos of teens. 14. What can we conclude from Sameer Hinduja’s words? A. Students will lose interest in their electronic after surfing online. B. Students will get angry easily after they surf on the Internet. C. Parents must closely monitor their teenagers’ online behavior. D. There are signs whether teenagers are experiencing cyberbullying. 15. Who is the article most probably targeting at? A. Parents. B. Teenagers. C. Teachers. D. Experts. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍网络暴力和它的危害。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, 59% of U. S. teens have experienced at least one of six identified types of abusive online behaviors. Those behaviors include name-calling (42%), having false rumors spread about them on the internet (32%), receiving explicit images that they didn’t ask for (25%), or being the target of physical threats (16%). (皮尤研究中心最近的一项调查显示，59%的美国青少年至少经历过六种网络虐待行为中的一种。这些行为包括辱骂（42%）、在互联网上散布关于他们的虚假谣言（32%）、收到他们没有要求的露骨图片（25%）或成为人身威胁的目标（16%）。)”可知，第二段内容以具体数据来说明网络暴力的严重性。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It’s when someone repeatedly and intentionally harasses (侵扰), humiliates (羞辱), mistreats, makes fun of, or threatens another person online or while using cell phones or other electronic devices. (这是指有人在网上或使用手机或其他电子设备时反复故意骚扰、羞辱、虐待、取笑或威胁他人。)”和第三段“The peers of some teens have even posted humiliating web pages or videos, or created embarrassing images on social media platforms. Others have taken unauthorized (未授权的) photos or videos in a bedroom, bathroom, or another location considered private, and posted them online for the world to view, rate, share, and discuss. (一些青少年的同龄人甚至在社交媒体平台上发布了羞辱性的网页或视频，或制作了令人尴尬的图片。其他人在卧室、浴室或其他被视为私人的地方拍摄了未经授权的照片或视频，并将其发布到网上，供全世界观看、评分、分享和讨论。)”可知，在互联网上辱骂青少年，在网上散布青少年的虚假谣言和发布羞辱青少年的网页或视频都属于网络暴力行为。而C项“在网上发布图片供全世界观看” 没有具体范围，如果是符合法律允许范围内的图片都可以上传，因而C项不能说是网络暴力。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If your child suddenly has no interest in their electronic devices, appears jumpy or nervous while using their phone, or appears angry, frustrated, or depressed after going online or gaming, then they may be experiencing cyberbullying, (如果你的孩子突然对他们的电子设备不感兴趣，在使用手机时显得神经质或紧张，或者在上网或玩游戏后显得愤怒或沮丧，那么他们可能正在经历网络欺凌)”可知，青少年被网暴有迹可循。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“There are many reasons to monitor your son or daughter’s online behavior (监控儿子或女儿的网络行为有很多原因)”和最后一段“If your child suddenly has no interest in their electronic devices, appears jumpy or nervous while using their phone, or appears angry, frustrated, or depressed after going online or gaming, then they may be experiencing cyberbullying, (如果你的孩子突然对他们的电子设备不感兴趣，在使用手机时显得神经质或紧张，或者在上网或玩游戏后显得愤怒或沮丧，那么他们可能正在经历网络欺凌)”可以推断，本文的读者为父母。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 From Mozart to pop music, tons of people enjoy listening to different types of music while they paint, write or draw.

But an international study by a group of psychologists is challenging that viewpoint. ____16____ To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants complete verbal (文字的) problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room. ____17____ They found that background music significantly hurt the participants’ ability to complete tasks associated with verbal creativity. The tasks were simple word games. ____18____ Then, they were asked to find a single word associated with all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while exposed to three different types of music: music with unfamiliar lines, instrumental music, or music with familiar lines. Dr. Melatchie and his colleagues conclude that music interferes with (干扰) the verbal working memory of the brain. ____19____ However, some may argue that the library background noises have seemingly no effect. The researchers explain that is because library noises create an environment of steady state that doesn’t interrupt concentration. “____20____ Instead, they demonstrate that music, regardless of the presence of its content, consistently interrupts creative performance in insight problem solving,” the study reads. A. And this in turn holds back creativity. B. It has something to do with the positive reaction. C. They say that their findings indicate music actually blocks creativity. D. Then again, they were tested while music was played in the background. E. Before the experiment, the participants didn’t study the music they would listen. F.

Mother’s Day was coming, but he didn’t have a present. “How can I buy a present without any money?” he thought. Tom picked up the newspaper that was lying on the sofa. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring(赞助)a contest. “Tell us why your mom is special and win a beautiful and precious gift for her.” said the advertisement. “This is perfect!” thought Tom. He ran to his room with the newspaper. After taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write. “My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes lunch for me to take to school and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want her to. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters(怪兽). And she gives me the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who may laugh at me for hugging my mom.” Tom liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp. He ran to the mailbox with his entry(参赛作品). “Mom will love having a special gift,” he thought. Tom checked his mailbox every day for his prize. Days went by, and then weeks. Soon it was the day before Mother’s Day. Tom still hadn’t heard anything about the contest. “What am I going to do now?” he wondered. He didn’t have a present, and he didn’t have a gift. And he still didn’t have money. He had to think of something. Tom closed his eyes, curled(使弯曲)his toes and thought hard. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Then Tom thought he could show his love for his mother in another way. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Mother’s Day, Tom gave his mother the envelope with the letter in it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Then Tom thought he could show his love for his mother in another way. He searched in his drawers and fortunately found a piece of delicate paper. He sat down straight on his chair, and began to write a letter in his best handwriting as a Mother’s Day present. “Dear Mom, I’m writing this to tell you that you are the best mother in the world…” With a sincere heart. Tom finished the letter and put it in an envelope with a smile on his face. On Mother’s Day, Tom gave his mother the envelope with the letter in it. She opened it and found the letter. Having finishing reading the letter, his mom swept him up into her arms(抱进怀里)with her eyes wet. “Thank you, my dear!” she said, hugging Tom more tightly. Leaning against his mother’s shoulder, Tom slowly explained why be had chosen to write a letter as a gift. After hearing the reason, his mom gently touched his head, saving, “To me, your letter is better than any other gift.” Hugging each other, they felt happy as if they had everything. Indeed, love should be made known to loved ones. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了汤姆想要在母亲节给母亲一份礼物，但是汤姆没有钱买礼物，一天汤姆在报纸上看到一则广告，参加比赛可以为妈妈赢得礼物，于是汤姆参加了，但是并未得奖，在母亲节的前一天，汤姆决定写一封信作为母亲的礼物，母亲接到后，告诉汤姆这是最好的礼物。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“然后汤姆想他可以用另一种方式来表达他对母亲的爱。”可知，第一段可描写汤姆决定给母亲写一封信，表达自己对母亲的爱与感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“母亲节那天，汤姆把装着那封信的信封给了他妈妈。”可知，第二段可描写母亲收到礼物后的表现与感动，以及作者的感悟 2. 续写线索：汤姆想要在母亲节给母亲一份礼物——没礼物——看到广告——参加比赛——获奖——换一种方式送母亲礼物——母亲收到礼物很感动——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①查找：search/look for/seek ②完成：finish/accomplish/complete ③选择：choose/select ④拥抱：hug/embrace/hold close 情绪类 ①真诚的：sincere/honest ②高兴的：happy/pleased/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1]Leaning against his mother’s shoulder, Tom slowly explained why be had chosen to write a letter as a gift.(why引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2]Hugging each other, they felt happy as if they had everything.(as if引导的虚拟语气) 听力1~5 CBAAB 6~10 ACABC 11~15 CBABA 16~20 BCABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度上学期期中考试 高二英语试题 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

You can do no wrong with these lakes across the globe Five Flower Lake Set in the striking karst landscape of the Jiuzhaigou Valley in Sichuan province, China, Five Flower Lake is extraordinarily clear, with visibility to a depth of 40 metres. Five Flower is one of a series of blue-, green-and sky-colored lakes blocked by rock falls, but it differs from the others as its waters change color, looking sometimes yellow, sometimes green, but usually diamond blue. In winter, Five Flower never freezes; in summer, it never dries up. Local wildlife living in the surrounding mountain forests include the rare giant panda and the golden snub-nose monkey. Crater Lake The deep-blue waters of Crater Lake in Oregon, US, fill the outlet of an ancient volcano that collapsed 7,700 years ago. Its strangest occupant is the “Old Man of the Lake”, a nine-metre-tall tree stump(树桩), which has stood upright in the water for more than a century. No rivers or streams enter the lake. Water loss in summer is compensated by winter snow and rain, the entire body of water being replaced every 250 years. Lake Ohrid Ancient Lake Ohrid has been around for about five million years and crosses the mountainous border between Macedonia and Albania. It has unique plants and wildlife, including the Ohrid “plashica”, a fish native to the lake, whose scales(鳞片) are used to make Ohrid pearls. Lake Maggiore Surrounded on three sides by the Lipontine Alps and touching the plain of Lombardy to the south, Lake Maggiore is Italy’s longest lake. Considered part of the country’s lake district, it is shared with Switzerland. Characterized by a Mediterranean-style climate, temperatures here are mild all year. This has given rise to some of northern Italy’s most wonderful gardens, which appear to float like flower-decked boats on the water. 1. What makes Five Flower Lake different from other lakes? A. Its agreeable climate. B. The rare local wildlife. C. Its color-changing waters. D. The visibility of waters. 2. How does Crater Lake mainly get water supply? A. By artificial rain. B. By snow and rain. C. From nearby streams. D. From an ancient tree. 3. Which lake has a typical warm climate? A. Five Flower Lake. B. Crater Lake. C. Lake Ohrid. D. Lake Maggiore.

For the Malagasy people, rice is an important part of their diet: many families eat it three times a day, and most of it is homegrown. In Madagascar, however, people earn less than $1.90 per day on average, and the Malagasy population is severely affected by food shortages. Domestic (国内的) production of rice, for example, still does not meet the needs of the island, and the country has to rely heavily on imported rice to help ensure the nation has enough food. Madagascar has set itself the goal of being rice self-sufficient. To work towards this, an FAO South-South Cooperation project began between China and Madagascar. Chinese experts on rice production came to Madagascar to provide training to farmers on how to grow and harvest a greater-yielding (更高产的) type of rice. The new kind of rice seeds is better suited to the Malagasy subtropical climate, which consists of a hot and rainy season between November and the end of March and a cooler dry season from May to October. This Weichu rice variety has been especially developed to fit the climatic and soil conditions of Madagascar. Across three areas of the island, 124 rice farmers took part in the project, working together with a Chinese expert team, to benefit from both theoretical and field training on rice production. To date, the harvest has yielded about 8.45 tonnes on average per hectare (公顷) compared to the 2.8 tonnes per hectare that was harvested before the project. Alain Randrianarivelo, who has farmed rice for more than 20 years, says,“I think this new variety of rice is the future of our agriculture. The yield obtained is breathtaking.”All the other participating farmers think so, too. For Madagascar as a country, this new variety will allow it to be self-sufficient by considerably reducing the level of rice imports. 8. What did the Chinese experts mainly do in Madagascar? A. They made efforts to improve the land. B. They developed new rice seeds in poor soil. C. They introduced ways to earn a good living. D. They taught locals how to grow a new kind of rice. 9. Why is the Weichu rice variety used in Madagascar? A. It meets the high demands of the Malagasy people. B. It suits the varying conditions there. C. It is the best rice variety worldwide. D. It can be grown twice a year there. 10. What can be inferred about the 124 rice farmers in the project? A. They are far-sighted. B. They are pioneers in farming. C. They find the yield fairly satisfying. D. They doubt the advanced farming technique. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. Doing experiments in Madagascar B. Increasing types of Madagascan rice C. Bringing Madagascar into the future D. Helping Madagascar become rice self-sufficient D Cyberbullying (网络霸凌) has become quite severe across the United States. But what exactly is cyber-bullying? It’s when someone repeatedly and intentionally harasses (侵扰), humiliates (羞辱), mistreats, makes fun of, or threatens another person online or while using cell phones or other electronic devices. According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, 59% of U. S. teens have experienced at least one of six identified types of abusive online behaviors. Those behaviors include name-calling (42%), having false rumors spread about them on the internet (32%), receiving explicit images that they didn’t ask for (25%), or being the target of physical threats (16%). The peers of some teens have even posted humiliating web pages or videos, or created embarrassing images on social media platforms. Others have taken unauthorized (未授权的) photos or videos in a bedroom, bathroom, or another location considered private, and posted them online for the world to view, rate, share, and discuss. There are many reasons to monitor your son or daughter’s online behavior and pay close attention to the warning signs. Among the most worrisome, students who experienced bullying or cyberbullying are significantly more likely to attempt to take their own life. “If your child suddenly has no interest in their electronic devices, appears jumpy or nervous while using their phone, or appears angry, frustrated, or depressed after going online or gaming, then they may be experiencing cyberbullying,” says Sameer Hinduja, Ph. D., co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center and professor of Criminology at Florida Atlantic University. Also, if your child avoids conversations about what they’re doing online, becomes unusually secretive when it comes to their phone or electronic devices, or makes excuses to stay home from school, they may be the target of online bullying. 12. What is the purpose of citing the numbers in the second paragraph? A. To show the emphasis from the society. B. To display how cyberbullying works on children. C To show the severeness of cyberbullying on children. D. To show how researchers conduct their survey. 13. Which of the following doesn’t belong to cyberbullying? A. Name-calling teens on the Internet. B. Spreading false rumors of teens online. C. Posting pictures online for the world to view. D. Posting humiliating web pages or videos of teens. 14. What can we conclude from Sameer Hinduja’s words? A. Students will lose interest in their electronic after surfing online. B. Students will get angry easily after they surf on the Internet. C. Parents must closely monitor their teenagers’ online behavior. D. There are signs whether teenagers are experiencing cyberbullying. 15. Who is the article most probably targeting at? A. Parents. B. Teenagers. C. Teachers. D.

But an international study by a group of psychologists is challenging that viewpoint. ____16____ To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants complete verbal (文字的) problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room. ____17____ They found that background music significantly hurt the participants’ ability to complete tasks associated with verbal creativity. The tasks were simple word games. ____18____ Then, they were asked to find a single word associated with all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while exposed to three different types of music: music with unfamiliar lines, instrumental music, or music with familiar lines. Dr. Melatchie and his colleagues conclude that music interferes with (干扰) the verbal working memory of the brain. ____19____ However, some may argue that the library background noises have seemingly no effect. The researchers explain that is because library noises create an environment of steady state that doesn’t interrupt concentration. “____20____ Instead, they demonstrate that music, regardless of the presence of its content, consistently interrupts creative performance in insight problem solving,” the study reads. A. And this in turn holds back creativity. B. It has something to do with the positive reaction. C. They say that their findings indicate music actually blocks creativity. D. Then again, they were tested while music was played in the background. E. Before the experiment, the participants didn’t study the music they would listen. F.

He ran to his room with the newspaper. After taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write. “My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes lunch for me to take to school and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want her to. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters(怪兽). And she gives me the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who may laugh at me for hugging my mom.” Tom liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp. He ran to the mailbox with his entry(参赛作品). “Mom will love having a special gift,” he thought. Tom checked his mailbox every day for his prize.
