Hearing aids can now be sold without a prescription from a specialist.Over-the-counter,or OTC,hearing aids started hitting the market in October at prices that can be thousands of dollars lower than prescription hearing aids.About 30 million people in the United States suffer from hearing loss,according to the Food and Drug Administration.But only about 20%of those who could use a hearing aid seek help.Here's a closer look: Who might be helped: The FDA approved OTC hearing aids for people with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. That can include people who have trouble hearing phone calls or who turn up the TV volume so loud that others complain.It also can include people who have trouble understanding group conversations in noisy places.OTC hearing aids aren't intended for people with deeper hearing loss,which may include those who have trouble hearing louder noises,like power tools and cars. Hearing test: Before over-the-counter,you usually needed to get your hearing tested and buy hearing aids from a specialist.That's no longer the case.But it can be hard for people to measure their own hearing.You can still choose to see a specialist just for that test,which is often covered by insurance,and then buy the aids on your own.There also are a number of apps and questionnaires available to determine whether you need help Who's selling: 高二英语 共12页 Several.major retailers now offer OTC hearing aids online and on store shelves. Walgreens drugstores,for example,are selling Lexie Lumen hearing aids nationwide for $799.Walmart offers OTC hearing aids ranging from about $200 to $1,000 per pair.Its health centers will provide hearing tests.The consumer electronics chain Best Buy has OTC hearing aids available online and in nearly 300 stores. Cost: Most OTC hearing aids will cost between $500 and $1,500 for a pair,though some may run up to $3,000. 21.Which of the following can not be helped by the hearing aids? A.Tom who is unable to hear the noise of power tools. 斑 : B.Messy who can't make out regular phone calls clearly. C.Jack who needs to turn up the TV volume louder than others do. D.Poppy who can't understand group conversations in noisy places. 22.What can we know from the text? A.OTC hearing aids are only available online. B.The prices of OTC hearing aids vary considerably. C.Hearing tests will be provided at every selling spot. D.OTC hearing aids offered by Walmart are the most expensive. 23.Which section of the newspaper is this passage probably from? A.Health. B.Economy. C.Education. D.Entertainment. ·B My wife Gillian and I started convincing ourselves to buy the farm as soon as we got in the car.Over the years we have become experts in talking ourselves into things that normal people would think crazy,both of us having developed a deep knowledge of each other's craziest buttons,and how best to push them.Gillian and I are very different in many ways,but we both have the ability to drop everything and take a chance.We also have the ability to view buying a poor farm as an opportunity. The main block was financial.We simply couldn't afford the $350,000 asking price.It took us a couple of days to think our way around this hindrance.We eventually came up with a strategy:we would put in a lowball offer and we would move to the farm. 高二英语 4 共12页 That would allow us to rent out our apartment in Toronto,freeing up cash to make mortgage payments(按揭贷款)on the farm.But I didn't think the owner would accept less than his asking price.We wrote up the offer,convinced the owner would say no. A few days later,I was walking to the office,and had almost completely forgotten about our stupid attempt to buy a farm.My phone rang.It was Gillian."We got it,"she said. I stopped in the middle of the street,speechless. As I went home that night,I started to feel that moving to the farm was meant to be.I had recently found myself looking around at the people sitting silently on the subway or walking hurriedly in and out of the office and asking myself,"What's the point?"I realized that the times I was the happiest were when I was not sitting at a desk,when I was outside the city. It didn't matter where I was.I loved to get dirty and do things.But I had come to 如 suppress that side of me.Finally I changed my view and decided to leave the city and move 柴 to the farm. 24.What do Gillian and the author have in common? 毁 长 A.They are creative in their work.B.They make unconventional decisions. 都 招 C.They are skiliful at farming. D.They have the same educational background. 25.What does the underlined word"hindrance"in paragraph 2 refer to? 都 A.Challenge. B.Method. C.Mistake. D.Failure. 都 26.How did the author react to Gillian's phone call? A.He paid no attention. B.He tried to find a way out. 蜜 御相 C.He was shocked by the news. D.He chose to contact the owner. 27.What lesson can be learned from the story? A.He who makes no mistakes makes nothing. B.One cannot succeed without time and practice. C.Luck,talent and family help to achieve success. D.Find the courage to follow your own path in life. c The message is drummed into us from childhood:forgive people who've wronged you, because it's the right thing to do.Forgiveness is a virtue,we're told,the only way for us to 高二英语 5 共12贸 truly move on and heal.But forgiving someone is not always what's best for us.In fact,if someone has hurt you deeply and the relationship isn't healthy,trying to"fix"things can do more harm than good. Most of us would probably agree that forgiving a wrongdoer means letting go of negative feelings like anger towards them.Actually it pressures us to minimize our feelings and revise our boundaries -to say "it's OK"when for us,it isn't.And when someone doesn't make us feel seen or safe,forgiving them.can actually weaken our self-respect.A 2010 research paper published in the Joural of Personality and Social Psychology called this"the doormat effect".It found that people who forgave partners that didn't make them feel valued had less respect for themselves,along with a weakened sense of self. If you keep on forgiving someone who's done wrong,it can encourage that person to keep hurting you.That's what 2011 research by psychology professor James K MeNulty argues.He looked at how 72 newlywed couples expressed forgiveness towards acts of aggression(攻击t性)，and whether this caused any changes in the wrongdoer'sbehaviour..He found that when a partner was more likely to forgive those acts,the aggressor was more likely to keep committing them.This is because facing the consequences of their actions is what motivates people to change their ways,and being offered a clean sheet can allow them to avoid making changes.Forgiving frequent and major offenses ()like verbal or physical abuse,can do more harm than good. What if we didn't see forgiveness as a quick fix,like a magic medicine,and instead, we tried to just accept what's happened as it is.By doing this,we can concentrate on understanding what really went down and deal with it in our own way,without feeling like we owe anything to the person who hurt us.It won't be easy,for sure,but at least it's all about us and what we need to heal. 28.What will happen if we forgive a wrongdoer according to"the doormat effect"? A.We'll be free from negative thoughts. B.The relationship will be strengthened. C.The wrongdoer will change his behavior. D.We'll have less self-respect and self-awareness. 29.How does the writer mainly illustrate his argument? 高二英语 6 共12页 A.By making comparisons. B.By listing examples. C.By citing research results. D.By giving definitions. 30.What can be concluded from James K McNulty's research? A.Forgiving a wrongdoer's behavior stops him from hurting others. B.Facing the consequences of aggression does more harm than good. C.Ignoring major offenses encourages a wrongdoer's acts of aggression. D.Forgiving frequent aggression prevents a wrongdoer from making changes. 31.What does the writer suggest readers do? A.Forgive and forget. B.Learn to take the situation as it is. C.Center on yourself. D.Keep on good terms with offenders. D What is news?The Oxford English Dictionary describes it as:"The report or account of recent events."However,a lot of reported news is bad or negative.This is both disheartening and unrealistic,creating an unbalanced representation of what's going on in the world.Understanding why this happens,and knowing how to discover the problems it causes,helps to lessen its influence. It's important to remember that many news organizations aren't just a public information service.Most need to attract readers,viewers,or listeners in a competitive market.So the stories they choose to cover are those that attract the largest audience. So why do stories of suffering and sadness draw the biggest crowds?According to a 2022 study,there are evolutionary reasons why bad news is hard to avoid.Our brains are programmed to focus on possible threats to help avoid danger.Concentrating on risks enabled early.humans to survive.The difference between then and now is that the threats our ancestors dealt with were local,life-threatening and short-lived.Today's news is seldom immediately life-threatening,but it can excite the same processes,as the mind and body prepare for action.This can lead to feelings of powerlessness and anxiety as people deal with information about dangers. Feeling pressure to keep up to date can lead to a high intake of negative news,which would influence well-being.Recent reports showed that around 63 percent of 12 to 18-year-olds in the US say that news makes them often or sometimes feel sad or upset. 高二英语 1 共12页 Feeling upset when bad things happen is a healthy,human response.If you do feel upset by anything you've read,seen,or heard,remember to treat yourself with compassion ) There's no shame in taking a break.Don't feel like you have to be aware of every story of suffering that's happening or have to take action to make a difference. 32.What is the worry expressed in the text about news reporting? A.It meets the challenges of social media. B.It is losing popularity among young people. C.It often presents a negative view of the world. D.It is under the influence of leading news organizations. 33.Why is bad news attractive according to the 2022 research? A.It excites people's curiosity. B.It reflects the reality of daily life. C.It creates a natural response in our brains. D.It is often carefully chosen through market research 34.What is the author's suggestion? A.Doing more reading. B.Going easy on yourself. C.Thinking before you believe. D.Showing compassion to others 35.What can be the best title for the text? A.News Blues B.Bad News is Good News 哈 C.News That Changes D.Then or Now:News is the Answer 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 潮蕊 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children.Not caring about the money,parents often want to send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England,the United States and Australia.36 The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is,the better it is.So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education.37 However,what most parents fail to see is that the best early education given to their children is usually very cheap.38 Some children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others.What most parents fail to realize though,is that today's children are badly 高二英语 ·8 共12页 off for self respect and self-confidence.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple choice tests and how to study well,but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident,happy and clever. 39.For example,teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.Cooking requires patience and time.It is an enjoyable but difficult experience.A good cook always tries to improve his cooking,so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully step by step.The result,a well cooked dinner,will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence. Some old machines,such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest.He will spend hours looking at them, 國 trying to repair them.40 Such kind of activities are not only teaching a child to think, but rather to use his mind.And that is more important. 却 A.Parents can see that their children's skills differ. 类 B.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills. C.The more cost in education,the better the result will be. 长 D.Your child might become an engineer when he grows up. 帮 K E.Thus,parents usually think computers are more convenient for kids learning. F.For instance,even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter 必 G.They also want their children to take extra course activities to get a head start in life 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 霸 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳 御御 选项。 On a cold winter day,Dan took his dogs,Milo and Duke,out for their usual morning walk at Bark Park.But this peaceful walk was 41 by Mike,an anxious dog owner who was 42 his best friend.His small gray dog,Jackson,had gotten lost somewhere in the park and he'd already been gone for quite some time.Small dogs don't do very well in cold weather.Knowing that there was no time to waste;Dan and his own dogs immediately started searching the park.43,Jackson was nowhere to be found.
