In fact, some of the videos that get shared remind us of the many hidden — and not-so-hidden — talents that are out there. Recently a video of a construction worker taking a break and treating his co-workers to a beautiful musical interlude (插曲) in their busy day was shared. Archie Gould, a painter working for a specialized painting company in Edmonton, was carrying out a job in front of a library. Looking in the window, one of his colleagues noticed there was a public piano inside. Gould explained to CTV News that his colleagues were aware that he’d played the piano for years, but he’d never been able to showcase his talents. Therefore on the first day on site, Gould sat down in his paint-stained work clothes to play for his colleagues. “It was so heart-melting. I love classical music. Seeing him playing exceptionally well, I was totally blown away,” his colleague, Kerrie Yates, shared her reaction to Gould’s performance. As for Gould, he was also delighted to have the opportunity to show his workmates that he was indeed able to play the piano. The performance was shared on TikTok, where it got an impressive number of views. And Gould came up with reasons why he thinks the video has become so popular, “I think half the reason why the video blew up is that I looked like a construction worker. No one expects a construction worker to showcase some classical music.” However, his performance is not just a lesson in looking beyond a person’s outward appearance. It also reminds us that we should nurture our talents gradually and enjoy them. While we might not all be able to become professional pianists, or singers, it brings so much joy to have a passion and share it with others. 4. What role does social media play according to the first paragraph? A. A means of communication and study. B. A place for people to share common interests. C A platform for ordinary people to show talents. D. A tool to remind people of some important things. 5. Why were ‘so many people impressed by Gould’s video? A. Because he is getting along well with others. B. Because he is expert in playing classical music. C. Because he likes wearing paint-stained work clothes. D. Because he is just recognized as a construction worker. 6. What does the underlined word “nurture” in the last paragraph mean? A. Develop. B. Analyse. C. Define. D. Popularize. 7. Which saying can describe the text best? A. Action speaks louder than words. B. Never judge a book by its cover. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Well begun, half done. C In the UK, there are about 12 million people suffering with hearing loss, and approximately 6.7 million could benefit from hearing aids. However, only about 2 million people use them. People with hearing loss may feel hearing aids are meant only for older people. They can feel a sense of embarrassment ageing and lack of confidence when wearing them. Besides, some people have no confidence in hearing aids and believe they will not help, or will even make their hearing worse. Individuals sometimes believe they will be dependent on their hearing aids, thus choosing not to use them out of desire for independence. Therefore, people with hearing loss may turn to coping mechanisms such as excessively(过度地)turning the volume up on their TVs. In the UK, patients with hearing loss can obtain hearing aids free of charge through National Health Service(NHS). However, the choice of style, manufacturer and level of technology may be limited and can also involve lengthy waiting lists. There are a greater number of hearing aid options available in the private sector but these can sometimes be expensive, which can be a prohibitive factor for individuals. There are some negative perspectives about hearing aids, such as the appearance. Many people have the idea that hearing aids are huge and noticeable. However, there are many different types of hearing aids such as invisible ones in ear canals. The hearing aid selection is discussed with each individual at their hearing assessment, and the correct hearing aids are selected according to their level of hearing loss. There have been other advancements in technology such as rechargeable hearing aids. There is now wireless connectivity in many hearing aids, which enables hearing aids to be connected to mobile devices, tablets and televisions, allowing direct audio streaming into hearing aids. Undoubtedly, wearing hearing aids is very beneficial for well-being, allowing individuals to interact with others and hear better. All of the advancements in technology in the future mean the functionality and comfort of hearing aids will greatly increase, considerably improving the quality of life for more people with hearing loss. 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. What people with hearing loss should do. B. How older people respond to hearing aids. C. Why some people avoid using hearing aids. D. Whether hearing aids will affect independence. 9. Which of the following may prevent people getting hearing aids from NHS? A. The cost can be higher. B. Patients may have to wait for long. C. Many people have no access to the related policy. D. Some private sectors get hearing aids in advance. 10. What is mainly considered during the hearing aid selection process? A. The cost of the hearing aids. B. The individual’s personal preference. C. The individual’s specific hearing loss. D. The appearance of the hearing aids. 11. What can we expect of the hearing aids in the future? A. They will be connected to more devices. B. They will be made smaller and more fashionable. C. They will enable users to interact more with others. D. They will provide high-quality and better service for users. D A new study finds that the glaciers (冰川) across the Andes in South America are shrinking (缩小) at a speed not seen before in the history of human civilization. This discovery surprised scientists. At first, they only planned to study the current conditions of glaciers and how they changed through history. “We thought this result was decades away,” said Andrew Gorin. As the lead writer of the study, he first thought the results were an accident. But later he and-his team confirmed the results with more samples. Gorin said that the shrinking of glaciers is happening even faster than experts had thought. He and a team of scientists conducted carbon dating of solid rock that had been recently exposed by shrinking glaciers. They measured levels of beryllium-10 and carbon-14 nuclides (核素) and found that concentrations were nearly zero. He explained that if the rock can “see the sky”, it collects these nuclides. He added that the zero content of these nuclides shows that the rock had not been exposed during the Holocene Era. This era dates back 11,700 years but could go back even further. “I would bet my whole life savings that in fact, these glaciers are smaller than they’ve been since the last interglacial period,” Gorin said. The last interglacial period ended about 115,000 years ago. The study collected data at four glaciers across the Andes. These glaciers make up 99 percent of the world’s tropical glaciers. They are more affected by changing weather because they are regularly at or near freezing point. “We think this is the canary (金丝雀) in the coal mine, and this is going to happen everywhere before long and maybe sooner than we thought,” Gorin said. Canary in the coal mine is an expression that warns of danger. Coal miners would use a canary to tell if the oxygen levels in a coal mine were dangerous. 12. What do scientists think of the discovery? A. It is line with the laws of nature. B. It is beyond their expectations. C. It reveals the glaciers’ moving speed. D. It means the ice will disappear soon. 13. What information do the results of the rock tests show? A. The extent of glacier shrinking. B. The development of glaciers. C. The original state of the glacier. D. The internal structure of glaciers. 14. Why did Gorin mention a bird in the coal mine? A. To prove the benefits of animals. B. To stress the importance of glaciers. C. To show the survival crisis of glaciers. D. To introduce miners’ working conditions. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Global Warming Affects Andean Environment B. Shrinking Glaciers Cause Harm to Human Beings C. Disappearing Glaciers Change Scientists’ Research D. Andean Ice Sheet Shrinks at Speed Not Seen Before 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 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，并将答案写在题后的答题表中。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A little bit of stress can help you stay focused, energetic, and able to meet new challenges in the workplace. ____16____ But today, the workplace too often seems like an emotional roller coaster. Long hours, tight deadlines, and ever-increasing demands can leave you feeling drained (精疲力竭). Undoubtedly, you can’t control everything in your work environment. ____17____ No matter what you do for a living, what your ambitions are, or how stressful your job is, there are a handful of ways to help reduce your overall stress levels.

The act of talking it out and getting support can be a highly-effective way of blowing off steam and regaining your sense of calm. Others don’t have to “fix” your problems — just be a good listener. ____18____. When job and workplace stress threatens to wear you out, learning to effectively manage your time is a must. Always read your task sheet to make sure you are first focusing on the most urgent and important ones. ____19____ This helps to avoid missing important deadlines or rushing through important tasks. Besides, many of us make job stress worse with improper thoughts and behavior. If you focus on the downside of every situation and interaction, you’ll find yourself drained of energy and motivation. ____20____ Avoid negative co-workers and pat yourself on the back about small accomplishments, even if no one else does. Rather than stressing out over the uncontrollable, focus on the things you can control. A. Then tackle high-priority tasks first. B. Try to think positively about your work. C. But that doesn’t mean you’re powerless. D. They help reduce the negative effects of job stress. E. Too much stress can make you break down easily. F. By classifying tasks, time can be distributed equally. G. It helps keep you on your toes and productive in your work. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并将答案写在题后的答题表中。 No parent ever wants to rely on their child for life-saving help.

He had no father figure, no role model and no tutor. He had to make a living for himself while facing the dangers and temptations of the streets. He had a great passion for football, though. He loved watching it on TV, playing it with his friends, and even dreaming about it at night. He had a natural talent for the game, with speed, strength, agility (敏捷) and vision. He could read the quarterback’s eyes, anticipate the receiver’s route, and make the perfect tackle or interception (拦截). He was eager to be a professional football player playing in the National Football League (NFL) and his lifelong ambition was to become a superstar in sports. He was burning to make his mother proud, to give her a better life and to escape the poverty and violence surrounding them. But despite his incredible talent, he always lacked the confidence. Beyond this, he had no opportunity or hope. Day by day, he became discouraged and had no option but to go to a low-performing high school where there was no football program, no equipment, and even no professional coach. He was ready to give up his dream to settle for a life of mediocrity (平庸). But then, he met Coach Carter. Coach Carter was a former NFL player, who had retired after a successful career. He had won two Super Bowls with the team, regarded as one of the best safeties of all time. He had moved back to Detroit after his retirement, and had started a youth football program in John’s neighborhood. He had observed John play in a pickup game one day, and had been impressed by his skills and potential. He planned to offer John a spot in his team, and help him achieve his dream. One day Coach Carter called John. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 John’s heart skipped a beat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Greatly encouraged by the coach’s words, John decided to give it his best shot. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 英语 注意事项： 1．本试卷共150分。考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必将装订线内的项目填写清楚。 3．请将选择题答案填在签题表中，非选择题用黑色签字笔答题。 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。 例：How much in the shirt?

The Student Union 第二节(满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】 John’s heart skipped a beat. Hearing Coach Carter’s words, he trembled with both excitement and nervousness. He knew deep down this might be the only chance to embrace his talent and fulfill his dream. However, he hesitated at first, for fear of not performing as expected. Learning about this, Coach Carter sent him an email where he encouraged John to believe in himself, “It is your unwavering determination that can take you where you want to go. Go for your dream and never give up!” Greatly encouraged by the coach’s words, John decided to give it his best shot. John accepted the offer, and joined Coach Carter’s team. He practiced hard every day, learning from Coach Carter’s experience and wisdom as well as improving his techniques, strategy and mentality. He ended up being selected by the NFL, leading his team to win several tournaments and championships. John’s story serves as a reminder to all teenagers that, with determination, courage, and support, they can overcome any obstacles and achieve their dreams. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
