One day, he was walking through the forest, carrying some wood. He saw an old man who was very hungry. Shankar wanted to give him some food, but he did not have any food with him. So he continued on his way. On the way, he saw a fox who was very thirsty. He wanted to give him some water, but he did not have any water for himself. So he went on his way ahead. Then he saw a young man with a dog who wanted to make a fire but did not have wood. Shankar learned about his problem and gave some wood to him. In return, the man gave him some food and water. Now he went back to the old man and gave him some food. Then he found the fox and gave some water to him. The old man and the fox were very thankful for Shankar’s help. Then Shankar went on his way happily. Unluckily, one day Shankar fell down the hill. He was in pain but he couldn’t move and no one was there to help him. But the old man who he had helped before saw him, and quickly came and pulled him up the hill. Shankar had many wounds on his legs. The fox whom Shankar had given water to saw his wounds and quickly went to the forest and brought some herbs. The old man helped to put the herbs on Shankar’s wounds. After some time, Shankar got well. All were very happy that they were able to help each other. If you help others, then they will also help you. 1．What did Shankar carry when he walked through the forest? A．Wood. B．Food. C．Water. D．Herbs. 2．Who gave Shankar food and water? A．The old man B．The young man. C．The fox. D．The dog. 3．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “herbs” in Chinese?

A．Help each other B．A fox may help you C．Don’t believe the stranger D．Food and water are important B To most of us, the Olympic Games are represented by the motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger.” Every four years, the best of the best in the world come together to compete on behalf of their countries. However, for most of the event's history, the modern Olympic Games were only open to amateurs, who took part for the joy they would receive from competing. Beginning in the 1980s, these rules were relaxed. Soon, most events were being dominated by professionals. While professional athletes like Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt may have achieved legendary status for their record-breaking times and medal counts, there have been other competitors who have stayed with us for very different reasons. Pierre de Coubertin, the father of the modern Olympic Games, said, “The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.” One of the individuals who demonstrated the spirit of the modern Olympic Games was a man by the name of Eddie the Eagle, who won the right to compete on behalf of Great Britain in the ski jumping event at the 1988 Winter Games. Another such individual was the swimmer Eric Moussambani, who represented Equatorial Guinea in the 2000 Summer Games. While both of them scored far below their fellow competitors, they still managed to set national and personal records. They braved international embarrassment and did their absolute best, eating the respect of both their fellow athletes and viewing audiences. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics have come and gone. Though there were no more “Eddie the Eagle” or “Eric Moussambani” moments, plenty of athlete have shown their spirit and won our respect. Dutch runner Sifan Hassan's bronze medal in the women's 1,500-meter final came after a violent fall during the preliminary round (分组预赛), which could have stopped her from qualifying. Oksana Chusovitina became the only female gymnast to have ever competed in eight Olympic Games, though she missed out on a place in the final. In these trying times, the Tokyo stadiums were empty of cheering crowds. Instead, most competitors made up for it by cheering for each other, creating a warm atmosphere of sportsman ship. It felt like Tokyo was the first Olympic Games in a long while to have truly embraced the original spirit of the Olympics. 5．How can we define the 1980s in the Olympic history? A．A turning point. B．A breakthrough. C．A starting line. D．A tough challenge. 6．Why are Eddie the Eagle and Eric Moussambani mentioned in paragraph 2? A．They are examples of amateurs. B．They broke the records in the Games. C．They did poorly and felt embarrassed. D．They are models for professional athletes. 7．What is the author's attitude towards the 2020 Tokyo Olympics? A．Approving. B．Critical. C．Doubtful. D．Tolerant. 8．What can be the best title of the text? A．True Olympic spirit B．Modern Olympic Games C．How the Olympic Games Developed D．Why the Olympic Games Are Important C Good news! Job offered.

D When Jeff Sparkman draws his cartoon superheroes with colored pencils, he often has to ask other people to tell him what color his masked men turned out to be because he's color-blind. Now, a new smart phone application (app) can help him figure out what colors he's using and how the picture looks to most everyone else. The DanKam app, available for iPhone and Android for $2.99, is an application that turns the vague colors that one percent of the population with color-blindness sees into the "true" colors as everyone else sees them. In America, an estimated 32 million color-blind Americans—95% are males—can soon have their life improved. “DanKam takes the stream of data coming in through the phone's camera and changes the colors slightly so they fall within the range that people who are color-blind see,”developer Dan Kaminsky told CNET. He came up with the idea after watching the 2009 film Star Trek with a color-blind friend. It was then that he got to know more about colorblindness like its varying types and degrees. A vast majority, for instance, have trouble seeing red or green due to a genetic defect(遗传缺陷). Blue-yellow colorblindness, however, is rarer and develops later in life because of aging, illness or head injuries, etc. He started experimenting with one of the most common representations of points in the RGB color model. What the DanKam app attempts to do is to clean up the color space of the image or video signal so that colors can be visible to those suffering from viewing problems. “You can adjust the app to fit your needs. There is a range and not everyone who is color-blind sees things the same.” Says Kaminsky. Sparkman, a copy editor at CNET, tried out the app and was pleased with the results. "It would be useful for dressing for a job interview," he said. But using it for his art is “the most practical application." It worked well on LED and other lights on electronic gadgets, which means Sparkman can now identify the power light on his computer display as green. 12．According to the first two paragraphs, we can know that DanKam ___________. A．is designed to help people with colorblindness B．can turn vague colors into real ones C．is a phone used to help drawing pictures D．appeared in the movie Star Trek 13．How does DanKam’s app work? A．It puts LED and other lights on electronic gadgets. B．It shows common representations of points in the RGB color model C．It checks color-blind people’s types of degrees of colorblindness. D．It changes the colors so that color-blind people can see them. 14．It can be inferred from the passage that colorblindness __________. A．cannot be cured by any methods B．is not necessarily inborn disease C．is more commonly seen in women D．makes people unable to tell any colors 15．The underlined word visible in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________. A．recognizable B．enjoyable C．adjustable D．Portable 第二节（本题共计 5 小题 ，每题 2.5 分 ，共计12.5分） Lifelong learning is the idea that learning keeps going through our daily experiences throughout our lives. It can be quite useful to us. However, to form a habit of lifelong learning is not easy. We need to train our brain to develop lifelong learning. 16 Create an aim for your learning. 17 But having an aim in mind truly does help a lot. For example, maybe your aim is to reduce your stress levels or find different ways to relax. Having an aim not only makes the learning beneficial but gives it a purpose. 18 If lifelong learning has not been your “thing” trying to eat this learning elephant in one bite makes it more difficult to stick with it. 19 For example, instead of struggling to read 100 pages in a book very day, why not start with 15 minutes, two or three time a week? After you have made that small habit into place, you can then add to it. Make it fun. If learning is a chore or becomes a chore, the act of doing it obviously decreases. 20 For example, for every new learning opportunity you take, give yourself some reward. Give yourself a gold star. Make learning a game. Whatever is going to make learning fun for you, make sure that you experience the fun! A．Start small. B．Stick with it! C．That may sound funny. D．That must to meaningful. E．Have some fun with your learning. F．Here are some simple ways to help you. G．Breaking down the learning into bite-sized pieces helps. 二、完形填空 Years ago I began to learn to drive in a driving training center. It was many miles away from where I 21 , you know.

The organisation is aimed at helping children who suffer from cancer. One day, we were asked to raise money for cancer research and programme funding at an event. Since my friend Lisa was also a volunteer for the organisation, I went to the event with her. There were many people at the event. After seeing our poster, some people came to us and talked with us. But few people donated money. It was a bit hot that day. Both Lisa and I got really upset. Half an hour later, Lisa started complaining, “I don’t think we can raise much money today. ” “Don’t worry. The event lasts for three hours. There is still a lot of time left，” I said, though I also thought poorly of our plan to raise much money that day. While Lisa and I were talking, a little boy of about eight years old came to us. He stood in front of our poster and started reading. After a while, he asked, “What is cancer？” I explained what cancer is. Then I said, “Many people around the world are suffering from cancer. It can be really dangerous. More research is needed to learn about it so that people with it can suffer less. That’s why we’re collecting money for it. ” “Do children suffer from cancer, too？” asked the boy. “Yes. Many children suffer from cancer. Some of them may die. They need help. ” Lisa said and I nodded. Hearing that, the boy became sad. Then the boy asked, “How much money have you collected？” Both Lisa and I were embarrassed to tell him that we didn’t raise much money. At last, we said, “Not much. ” The boy looked into our donation container and only saw a few one­dollar and five­dollar bills. The boy said nothing after seeing that and left. Then some girls came to us and we started talking with them. Neither Lisa nor I thought the boy would return. However, about twenty minutes later, the boy did return. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The boy happily ran to us and asked, “Would you take a donation from children？” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Both Lisa and I were deeply touched. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 答案第1页，共2页 23级英语试卷 第1页 共2页 23级英语试卷 第2页 共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 参考答案： 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 A B C A A D A A C D 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B A D B A F C A G E 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 A C D C A B D B A D 题号 31 32 33 34 35 答案 B A C D C 36. biggest 37. artist 38. a 39. came 40. were 41. which 42. amazing 43. of 44. is looking 45. eyes 46．范文 Recently our class has had a debate as to organic farming. All students think organic farming is very beneficial to farmers as well as consumers around the country. Firstly, it keeps the environment clean by reducing pollution. Secondly, green food from organic farming, which is very rich in minerals, can prevent and help to treat various diseases. Thirdly, it reduces the costs of agricultural production and also improves the soil health. Lastly, it not only saves energy for both animals and machines but also reduces the risk of crop failure. All in all, we are all in favour of organic farming. 47．The boy happily ran to us and asked, “Would you take a donation from children？” Lisa and I looked at each other. We couldn’t believe such a little boy would care. Though we didn’t believe it, we said “yes”. The boy put his hand in his pocket and took out some five­dollar bills. He said, “I just asked for them from my mother. I really want to help the children suffering from cancer. ” Both Lisa and I were deeply touched. We thanked the boy, but he left soon. Looking at his back, both Lisa and I were greatly encouraged. We wanted to try harder to raise money. So instead of just standing there, we went to people and told them about our programme. At the end of the day, we raised over three thousand dollars, a lot more than Lisa and I had expected in the beginning. 答案第1页，共2页 答案第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
