Whatever your hands touch, your phone touch. It has been discovered that some phones have 18 times more bacteria and viruses than any surface in a public restroom. So it probably won’t surprise you that a 2011 University of London study found that one in six of our phones have bacteria and viruses on them – specifically, the bacteria called E. coli. The research on bacteria and viruses led to the invention of PhoneSoap. It is not actually liquid like dishwasher soap. It is a phone charger that uses the electromagnetic radiation（辐射） used in hospitals to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses, cleaning your phone while it charges, “There are really certain types of bacteria and viruses that we should not be in touch with, and they are really on our phones,” says Wes Barnes, the PhoneSoap co-founder. It all started while his cousin and co-founder, Dan LaPorte, was in his cancer research lab at college. “He realized he got the idea of getting rid of bacteria and viruses on the phones,” said Barnes. “In the lab they used UV-C light for destroying them. He realized this would be the fastest, most powerful way to kill any bacteria and viruses living on electronic machines.” PhoneSoap looks like a little metal suitcase. Your phone rests in to charge and get cleaned at the same time. Instead of plugging your phone into the wall, you’d plug it into the PhoneSoap charger box. The process only takes a few minutes but, Barnes say, “The idea is that you can leave it in there overnight if you want to keep charging. Reflective paint keeps the light completely around the phone so it cleans the phone fully.” The co-founders spent 2013 finding the right companies and they started shipping the product in late November. By last week’s International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, PhoneSoap was all grown-up. Both co-founders have left their previous jobs and are selling PhoneSoap nonstop. “We’re shipping almost more than we can handle each day,” Barnes says. “It’s been a great adventure.” 27. According to the passage, PhoneSoap ______. A. takes a whole night to kill bacteria B. deals with bacteria with radiation C. is a kind of liquid like dishwasher soap D. has to be plugged into the wall to work 28. From what Barnes said in the last paragraph, we can infer that ______. A. PhoneSoap is in great demand now B. PhoneSoap is really hard to handle C. they can’t produce enough PhoneSoap D. they’ll make improvements to PhoneSoap 29. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Methods of cleaning phones. B. Tips on charging phones quickly. C. Soap killing harmful bacteria on phones. D. A phone charger keeping your phone clean. 【答案】27. B 28. A 29. D 【解析】 【分析】这篇短文主要介绍了一种在手机充电时清洁手机的产品—PhoneSoap，它不是液体而是利用医用电磁辐射在手机充电时杀死手机上的细菌和病毒 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据It is a phone charger that uses the electromagnetic radiation（辐射） used in hospitals to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses, cleaning your phone while it charges,可知PhoneSoap用的是医用电磁辐射来杀灭99.9%的细菌和病毒。故选B。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段Barnes所说的话：“We’re shipping almost more than we can handle each day,”可知我们提供的几乎快超出每天能应对的了，PhoneSoap供不应求，故选A 【29题详解】 主题归纳题。根据短文主要介绍了一种在手机充电时清洁手机的产品—PhoneSoap，包括它的功能，原理以及上市之后的市场反馈。故选D。 D People experience a flow state when they become deeply focused on an activity that is challenging but not outside of their skill set. Getting into a flow state helps people learn and further develop their skills while also increasing their enjoyment of those skills. In the 1960s, psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi noticed that many artists fell into this single- minded state while doing their creative work. His research on the topic showed that people can experience flow during different situations, including games like chess, sports like surfing or rock climbing, professional activities like performing surgery, or creative activities like writing or painting. Time seems to pass more quickly than usual when people are in this state. He used the term “flow state” to describe this experience because many of the people he interviewed about it said the experience was like being “in flow”. The state of flow can be brought about by any experience, whether work or play, he explained, “It is the full participation of flow, rather than happiness, that makes for excellence in life. Flow is also valuable for learning and developing skills. He noted the value of increasing challenges so they are just a little outside one’s skill set. This encourages the person to stay in the flow state while also helping them to learn new skills. Many people are interested in achieving flow because it can help improve performance and increase happiness. This can be different for different people. While one person may enter a flow state while gardening, another may do so while drawing or running a marathon. The key is to find an activity that the person is passionate(热情的) about and finds it enjoyable. In addition, the activity must be challenging enough to need people to raise their skill level just beyond their abilities. Finally, the balance between skill level and challenge must be optimal to achieve flow. If the challenge is too high, it can lead to anxiety(焦虑); if the challenge is too low, it can lead to boredom. High challenges and high skills will result in deep involvement(参与) in the activity and create the desired flow state. Today it can be hard to ensure one’s environment is good for flow. If the noise keeps appearing, it won’t lead to a flow state. You should turn off mobile phones if you want to achieve flow. 30. What can we learn from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s research? A. People feel bored when they are in the state of flow. B. Time seems to pass more slowly when people experience flow. C. Flow state can prevent people from achieving their goals. D. People may experience flow when they deeply keep their minds on something. 31. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A. The history of the research. B. The benefits of a flow state. C. The difficulties of learning new skills. D. The challenges of a flow state. 32. The word “optimal” in Paragraph 5 means ________. A. opposite B. new C. suitable D. familiar 33. The writer thinks ________. A. people get into a flow state in all kinds of environment B. people feel bored when the challenge is too high C. anxiety can help people get into a flow state D. both high challenges and skills are necessary for a flow state 【答案】30. D 31. B 32. C 33. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲了什么是流动状态、它的好处以及其产生的条件。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段整段“In the 1960s, psychologist Mihaly Csikeszentmihalyi noticed...being in flow.”可知，当人们把思想深深地放在某件事情上时，他们可能会体验到流动。故选D。 【31题详解】 段落大意题。根据第三段“The state of flow can be brought about...to learn new skills.”流动的状态可以由任何经验带来，无论是工作还是玩耍。正是流动的充分参与，而不是快乐，才有了卓越的生活。流动对于学习和发展技能也很有价值。他指出增加挑战的价值，因此这些挑战只是一个人技能范围之外的一点点。这鼓励人们保持流动状态，同时也帮助他们学习新技能。由此可知，第三段主要讲了流动状态的好处。故选B。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第五段“In addition, the activity must be challenging enough...the desired flow state.”此外，活动必须具有足够的挑战性，需要人们提高他们的技能水平，使之超出他们的能力。最后，技能水平和挑战之间的平衡必须是最佳的，以实现流动。如果挑战太高，可能会导致焦虑；如果挑战太低，会导致厌倦。由此可知，要技能水平和挑战之间的平衡必须是合适的。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“High challenges and high skills will result in deep involvement(参与) in the activity and create the desired flow state.”高挑战和高技能会导致深度参与并创建所需的流动状态。由此可知，高挑战和高技能对流动状态很重要。故选D。 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 If you ask any 12-year-old what their favorite time of the day is, they’ll tell you it’s lunch! But for Jason, it’s a bit different. He can’t wait to get home and start working on his candle-making business. Jason began creating candles because the candles he bought gave his mom headaches. He was only eight years old at the time. He thought there must be a way to make a safe and all-natural candle. So, he set out to find a cleaner and more natural way to make a candle that his mom could enjoy. He was very interested in the process and the chemistry behind making the candles. Later, he found a kind of wax (蜡) that is chemical-free. He also found natural oils to add scent (香味). With the support of his mom, he started an online store in 2020. His online orders began picking up. In the fall of 2022, he opened a store at a local shopping centre. Now people can buy his candles both online and at the store. The store also sells soaps which are made by Vicky, Jason’s little sister. She was inspired (鼓舞) by her brother to make her own handmade products. Jason started his business to save money for his college education. But running a business is about more than making money for Jason. He also gave some money to the community. The community spent the money supporting the local homeless shelter (救助站) and helping the kids who needed a little help with college. “My future goal is to help people around the world,” he says. His mother is proud of her son and loves to spend time with him as his business grows. She says it is really inspiring to see how his mind works. Jason has a big goal and an even bigger heart. With all the problems that seem to stop many of us from moving forward, Jason has chosen to find a solution that works, not only for himself, but as an inspiration to others. 34. Why did Jason begin creating candles? ________________ 35. Where can people buy Jason’s candles? ________________ 36. How did Jason deal with the money he made? ________________ 37.

Now people can buy his candles both online and at the store.”可知，人们可以在网上和当地一家购物中心的实体店里买到他的蜡烛。故填Both online and at his store at a local shopping centre. 【36题详解】 根据“Jason started his business to save money for his college education.”及“He also gave some money to the community.”可知，Jason用他赚得钱支付大学费用，还把一部分钱捐给社区。故填He saved money for his college education, and he also gave some money to the community. 【37题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案为：I think Jason has a big goal and an even bigger heart. Because he gives some of the money he makes from his business back to the community. The community uses the money to support local homeless shelters and help kids who need a little college help. 五、文段表达（10分） 38. 根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 旅行可以增长见闻，开拓视野。学校要在假期举行一次为期五天的游学活动（study tour），请你给交换生Peter写一封邮件，告知他旅行要去的城市、时间和出行方式，在当地要参加的活动，以及一些建议。 提示词语：plane, museum, comfortable... 提示问题： 1.

Living at the center of Beijing, the Forbidden City, also called Gu Gong in Chinese, was built during the Ming and Qing dynasties (朝代). It is the world’s largest palace.

A car pulled into the driveway, and he ran to the front door. William looked at the puppy’s little brown face and immediately fell in love with her. Dad put the puppy down, and she ran to William, giving him some kisses. “Her name is Buttercup,” Dad said. William looked at the puppy. “Buttercup. I like it.” After about an hour, the puppy fell asleep. William went to his room and played on his own, but he quickly got bored. He went to the living room and asked his Mum and Dad, “Can we go to the park?” Mom shook her head. “Sorry, sweetie, but we need to stay at home and help Buttercup get used to her new environment.” “Why don’t you play with her?” Dad asked. William played with Buttercup until she fell asleep again. “Can we go to the park now? She’s sleeping.” “William, a puppy is a big responsibility,” Dad said. “You said you were ready for this, and that means you have to help us look after her and train her.” William went to his room again. Everyone was excited: all they wanted to do was play with the puppy or watch her sleep. William was bored. Dad walked into William’s room. “You know how you like to play catch with Uncle Mike’s dog?” “Yeah?” “Why don’t you try playing with Buttercup?” “She’s too little,” William said. “Not with this ball.” Dad held up a soft fuzzy ball.

Whatever your hands touch, your phone touch. It has been discovered that some phones have 18 times more bacteria and viruses than any surface in a public restroom. So it probably won’t surprise you that a 2011 University of London study found that one in six of our phones have bacteria and viruses on them – specifically, the bacteria called E. coli. The research on bacteria and viruses led to the invention of PhoneSoap. It is not actually liquid like dishwasher soap. It is a phone charger that uses the electromagnetic radiation（辐射） used in hospitals to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses, cleaning your phone while it charges, “There are really certain types of bacteria and viruses that we should not be in touch with, and they are really on our phones,” says Wes Barnes, the PhoneSoap co-founder. It all started while his cousin and co-founder, Dan LaPorte, was in his cancer research lab at college. “He realized he got the idea of getting rid of bacteria and viruses on the phones,” said Barnes. “In the lab they used UV-C light for destroying them. He realized this would be the fastest, most powerful way to kill any bacteria and viruses living on electronic machines.” PhoneSoap looks like a little metal suitcase. Your phone rests in to charge and get cleaned at the same time. Instead of plugging your phone into the wall, you’d plug it into the PhoneSoap charger box. The process only takes a few minutes but, Barnes say, “The idea is that you can leave it in there overnight if you want to keep charging. Reflective paint keeps the light completely around the phone so it cleans the phone fully.” The co-founders spent 2013 finding the right companies and they started shipping the product in late November. By last week’s International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, PhoneSoap was all grown-up. Both co-founders have left their previous jobs and are selling PhoneSoap nonstop. “We’re shipping almost more than we can handle each day,” Barnes says. “It’s been a great adventure.” 27. According to the passage, PhoneSoap ______. A. takes a whole night to kill bacteria B. deals with bacteria with radiation C. is a kind of liquid like dishwasher soap D. has to be plugged into the wall to work 28. From what Barnes said in the last paragraph, we can infer that ______. A. PhoneSoap is in great demand now B. PhoneSoap is really hard to handle C they can’t produce enough PhoneSoap D. they’ll make improvements to PhoneSoap 29. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Methods of cleaning phones. B. Tips on charging phones quickly. C. Soap killing harmful bacteria on phones. D. A phone charger keeping your phone clean. D People experience a flow state when they become deeply focused on an activity that is challenging but not outside of their skill set. Getting into a flow state helps people learn and further develop their skills while also increasing their enjoyment of those skills. In the 1960s, psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi noticed that many artists fell into this single- minded state while doing their creative work. His research on the topic showed that people can experience flow during different situations, including games like chess, sports like surfing or rock climbing, professional activities like performing surgery, or creative activities like writing or painting. Time seems to pass more quickly than usual when people are in this state. He used the term “flow state” to describe this experience because many of the people he interviewed about it said the experience was like being “in flow”. The state of flow can be brought about by any experience, whether work or play, he explained, “It is the full participation of flow, rather than happiness, that makes for excellence in life. Flow is also valuable for learning and developing skills. He noted the value of increasing challenges so they are just a little outside one’s skill set. This encourages the person to stay in the flow state while also helping them to learn new skills. Many people are interested in achieving flow because it can help improve performance and increase happiness. This can be different for different people. While one person may enter a flow state while gardening, another may do so while drawing or running a marathon. The key is to find an activity that the person is passionate(热情的) about and finds it enjoyable. In addition, the activity must be challenging enough to need people to raise their skill level just beyond their abilities. Finally, the balance between skill level and challenge must be optimal to achieve flow. If the challenge is too high, it can lead to anxiety(焦虑); if the challenge is too low, it can lead to boredom. High challenges and high skills will result in deep involvement(参与) in the activity and create the desired flow state. Today it can be hard to ensure one’s environment is good for flow. If the noise keeps appearing, it won’t lead to a flow state. You should turn off mobile phones if you want to achieve flow. 30. What can we learn from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s research? A. People feel bored when they are in the state of flow. B Time seems to pass more slowly when people experience flow. C. Flow state can prevent people from achieving their goals. D. People may experience flow when they deeply keep their minds on something. 31. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A. The history of the research. B. The benefits of a flow state. C. The difficulties of learning new skills. D. The challenges of a flow state. 32. The word “optimal” in Paragraph 5 means ________. A. opposite B. new C. suitable D. familiar 33. The writer thinks ________. A. people get into a flow state in all kinds of environment B. people feel bored when the challenge is too high C. anxiety can help people get into a flow state D. both high challenges and skills are necessary for a flow state 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 If you ask any 12-year-old what their favorite time of the day is, they’ll tell you it’s lunch! But for Jason, it’s a bit different. He can’t wait to get home and start working on his candle-making business. Jason began creating candles because the candles he bought gave his mom headaches. He was only eight years old at the time. He thought there must be a way to make a safe and all-natural candle. So, he set out to find a cleaner and more natural way to make a candle that his mom could enjoy. He was very interested in the process and the chemistry behind making the candles. Later, he found a kind of wax (蜡) that is chemical-free. He also found natural oils to add scent (香味). With the support of his mom, he started an online store in 2020. His online orders began picking up. In the fall of 2022, he opened a store at a local shopping centre. Now people can buy his candles both online and at the store. The store also sells soaps which are made by Vicky, Jason’s little sister. She was inspired (鼓舞) by her brother to make her own handmade products. Jason started his business to save money for his college education. But running a business is about more than making money for Jason. He also gave some money to the community. The community spent the money supporting the local homeless shelter (救助站) and helping the kids who needed a little help with college. “My future goal is to help people around the world,” he says. His mother is proud of her son and loves to spend time with him as his business grows. She says it is really inspiring to see how his mind works. Jason has a big goal and an even bigger heart. With all the problems that seem to stop many of us from moving forward, Jason has chosen to find a solution that works, not only for himself, but as an inspiration to others. 34. Why did Jason begin creating candles? ________________ 35. Where can people buy Jason’s candles? ________________ 36. How did Jason deal with the money he made? ________________ 37.
