The doctor gave William 9.5 (on a scale of 1 to 10,1 is you're super healthy and 10 is you're dead),which hit the family.There were days when they didn't know if he would live through.In April of 2008,William got a bone-marrow()transplant from his older brother Charles.The recovery from it took long.He had a lot of aftereffects and even had 22 of his teeth pulled.At five,William skied for the first time.It helped a lot with low bone density()and got him back in good shape. One year later,William moved to Puerto Rico and fell in love with the island.When he prougnt up to represent Puerto Rico in Alpine skiing,his friends laughed.Puerto Rico doesn't have snow.But William didn't quit. Mowever it was tough for William to balance his training with medical appointments and going to school.So he did a school program totally online.He went to a lot of camps and there were lots of early mornings like 4:00 AM alarm clock.But he has managed to maintain suaigni As since halfway through third grade and he plans to head to college to study acrospace engineering. Even a cold can lay him up for two weeks,so William took extra pre-cautions over the last two years.While training,he wore an N95 mask the whole time and couldn't ride the lift with anyone.After training,he came home directly,hid in his bedroom and stayed away from people. In 2022.the 17-year-old boy has had more than 30 operations.Having prepared for 7 years, he finally made It to the starting line at Beijing Olympics. "Skiing is really helpful because it forces me to focus on one thing,"he said."Ireally want to prove to all the other transplant survivors that they can do whatever they want in life." 14.Why did William Flaherty start skiing at the age of five? A.To improve health B.To entertain himself. C.To follow his family. D.To join in the Olympics. 15.Why did William decide to represent Puerto Rico in Alpine skiing?

D.Optimistic and hardworking. 17 Which would be the best title for this passage? A.Skiing Life of a Teenager. B Preparing Well for the Olympics. G Surviving from Severe Illness. D.Defeating Disease to Deliver Hope. C An agemg population is a global phenomenon.Countries are looking for the ways to address the demands of a swelling elderly community. Many nations are threatened by a shortage of healthcare workers because of unenviable tasks such as bathing,feeding and changing the aapers.Advancements in technology now present an innovative solution to this.Japan has now developed carebots,specially-designed robots,to replace human caregivers.Japan is also working at more coordinared care for the elderly within the community which includes the integration of hospitals,homecare,elderly care centres and nursing homes.Putting m ptace a system that can effectively track the medical history of every elderly person,Japan takes advantage of technology to provide quality healthcare for the seniors. The unique feature about Sweden is that most of the elderly live in their own homes where they continue to enjoy living independently.Local governments auucate funds and manage services while citizens have the freedom to choose the type of home services and their service provider.They can apply for homecare services including delivering meals to homes,hanging curtains,changing light bulbs etc.In Sweden,the focus is also on preventive care-keeping the elderly healthy.The elderly who are ill are not just given medicines but also a specific type of physical activity,where their doctors also monitor the outcome. Singapore'also provides more homecare services and day-care centres where the older people can go for rehabilitative and social activities.Besides,the government is creating more dementia-friendly communities,where support comes from the community.Various people within a community like policemen,shopkeepers and other volunteers are trained to assist the elderly with dementia().With greater community awareness and support,it is more reasonable for a dementia sufferer to stay at home instead of a nursing home. In our search for the best model to meet the demands of a burgeonug ageing population,let us keep in mind that there is no one-size-fits-al solution.What is important is shoudering the responsibilities of caring for them and ensuring them to age well and comfortably. 18.How does Japan deal with the problem of the shortage of healthcare workers? A By offering quality healthcare for the seniors. B.By tracking the medical history of every elderly person. C.By developing robots programmed with caregiving functions. D.By integrating places like hospitals,homecare,and nursing homes. 19.According to the passage,what do Sweden and Singapore have in common? A.Optional care services are both provided free. B.Independent living is respected and supported. C.Preventive care for the elderly is highly valued. .D.Social activities and voluntary help are enjoyed. 20.What is the passage mainly about? A.Models for giving the elderly care. B.Countries with an ageing population. C.Responsibilities of caring for the elderly. D.Demands of a growing elderly community. D We are fortunate to live in a city that encourages bicycling as a means of transportation.Our local government has promoted bicycling by improving bike lanes and increasing the number of them.The growing number of cyclists,howeven,brings this question to mind:should bicyclists be required to share the responsibilities of the road?Automobile drivers have to take competer tests,follow established regulations,and accept punishment for breaking rules.The city requests drivers to register and license their vehicles to ensure accountability ()Bicyclists who use public roadways should be held accountabie.too. Let's look at what sharing the road means.For one thing,it should involve cost sharing.Auto registration and license fees are used,in part,for building and maintaining roadways.It seems only reasonable to ask bicyclists to contribute to transportation funding as well. More importantly.sharing the road includes accountability.When drivers ignore the rules of the road,the police and other motorists have the opportunity to identify them by their ucense plate number and report their offenses(违法行为).This isn't true for bicyclists.I've seen bicyclists moving quickly between lanes.Because they show no identification,they feel protected by anonymity().What good would it do to report to the police"I saw a guy on a red bike blow tnrougn the stoplight"?The simple act of making bicyclists identifiable would encourage safer,more responsible riding. Of course,I've heard arguments against asking cyclists to register and license their bikes. Some people might say,"Little kids ride bikes.Would you require a six-year-old rider to take a test and pay a fee?"Obviously,the city could determine an age when cycling would be considered a means of transportation on public roads.Other people argue that bicycle fees are unfair because bikes don't damage the roadways as cars do.Bicycle registration fees could be comparatively modest,and the method for displaying a license number could be simple. Many U.S.cities and towns now enforce bike registration and licensing.A law from one California town states that the laws regulating bicycles have a double purpose,antitheft and safety. I'm eager to see more bicyclists on the road,and I'm hoping for riders who take their responsibilities seriously. 21.To advocate responsible cycling,the author suggests increasing the number of bike lanes. B.giving competency tests to all cyclists. C.identifying cyclists through registration.D.reporting cycling offenses more frequently. 2.What is the authors purpose in writing Paragraph 4? A.To explain how bicycle registration and licensing work. B.To provide solutions to reduce irresponsible cycling of kids C.To respond to peoples doubts about holding cyclists accountable D.To argue against requiring cyclists to register and license their bicycles 23.What argumentative methods are used in this article? 1 Using examples 2 Quoting professionals 3 Comparing and contrasting 4Appealing to readers emotions A.①② B②④ C.③④ D.①③ 24 Which of the following would be the best titue for the passage? A.Should we encourage more cycling in the city? B Should cyclists register and license their bikes? C.What does"sharing the road"mean to cyclists? D.How can road safety be guaranteed for cyclists? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的六个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。 How Sociologists Define Culture Culture is one of the most important concepts within sociology because sociologists reaognize that it plays a crucial role in our social lives.It'is important for shaping social relationships,maintaining and challenging social order,determining how we make sense of the world and our place in it,and in shaping our everyday actions and experiences in society.25 In brief,sociologists define the non-material aspects of culture as the values and beliefs, language,communication and practices that are shared in common by a group of people. Expanding on these categories,culture is made up of our knowledge,common sense, assumptions and expectations.It is also the rules,norms,laws and morals that govern society; the words we use as well as how we speak and write them;and the symbols we use to express meaning,ideas and concepts.26 It informs and is demonstrated in how we walk,sit,carry our bodies and interact with others;how we behave depending on the place,time and "audience"; and how we express identities of race,.class and gender,among others.Culture includes the collective practices we participate in as well,such as religious ceremonies,the celebration of secular holidays and attending sporting events 27 (This aspeet of culture includes a wide variety of things,from buildings,technological gadgets and clothing,to film,music,literature and art,among others.Aspects ot material qulture are more commonly referred to as 'cultural products. Sociologists see the two sides of culture-the material and non-material-as closely comnected Material culture emerges from and is shaped by the non-material aspects of culture.48 But it is not a one-way relationship between material and non-material culture.Material culture can also influence the non-material aspects of culture.For example,a powerful documentary film might change people's attitudes and beliefs.9What has come before in terms of music, film,television and art,for example,influences the values,beliefs and expectations of those who interact with them,which then,in turn,influence the creation of additional cultural products. A.This is why cultural products tend to follow patterns. B.It is composed of both non-material and material things Without culture,we would not have relationships or society. D.Culture is also what we do and how we behave and perform. Material culture is composed of the things that humans make and use. R Cultune is distinct from social structure and economic aspects of society. G.In other words,what we value,believe and know influences the things that we make. 第三节（共4小题：第30、31题各2分，第32题3分，第33题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Many parents are watchful about their kids'use of electronic devices and set strict limits for them to protect their children from the potentially harmful effects of too much screen time But parents may be overlooking another device-related danger-seeendhand screen time.It's meant to mirror the danger in regard to secondhand smoking.When parents are distracted by an electronic device and only give partial attention to their children,the kids are actually suffering from its influence. Secondhand screen time can bring negative consequences.Kids,whose parents spend too much time with their devices,are more likelv to develop addictive behaviours with devices as they grow.Excessive device use also sends the message that the device and activities on it are more important than the children.This can lead to a breakdown in the parent-child telationship.When parents are absorbed in their devices,they may not realize their children are exposed to violent or mature content or fast-moving images that are overly stimulating for young brains. Secondhand screen time is an issue parents need to be aware of regardless of their children's age.Parents can take the following tips to reduce its impact. >Focus on quality time A child's cognitive,communication,social and emotional development happens via their relationships with their care providers.The more time parents spend looking at electronics,the less time they can devote to giving the kids their full attention.This doesn't mean parents should never use devices when they are together with their children.Parents need to be aware of how often they are fully engaged with their children without devices and make sure they offer quality interaction and attention. >Set an example Parents often tell kids it's important to control device use,but if their experience with parents from early age is watching parents use devices frequently,children are much more likely to follow that model.By setting a good example,parents are sending to their kids the message"do as I do",which is more effective than"do as I say". 30.What is secondhand screen time according.to the passage? 31.What problems does secondhand screen time bring to children? 32.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. >Excessive device use gets in the way of maintaining a good parent-child relationship,so parents should never use devices in the presence of their children. 33.Apart from the tips mentioned in the passage,what other ways can you think of to reduce secondhand screen time?(In about 40 words) 第三部分 (共三节，共35分) 第一节选词填空。（共12小题；每小题1分，共12分） 阅读下列四篇短文，根据短文内容，从每篇短文上面的方框中选择合适的单词或词组，并用其 正确形式填空，请将答案书写在答题卡相应位置。每组词中有一词为多余选项。 A relevant remote integrate detect A smart home is one that34computers into the structure of the building itself.For example,it could control the air conditioning and lights so that you would no longer have to turn switches on and off.The smart home could also monitor itself to make sure that everything is working as it should,and send you warnings if there is a problem.Such smart homes could even be programmed35 your health problems,and then give you 36 advice as to the food you should eat or if you should see a doctor.
