Arithmetic is an elementary part of number theory, and number theory is considered to be one of the top-level divisions of modern mathematics, along with algebra, geometry, and analysis. The terms arithmetic and higher arithmetic were used until the beginning of the 20th century as synonyms for number theory and are sometimes still used to refer to a wider part of number theory. RULES of Operations Based on arithmetic, usually, if α adds β, we' ll get γ as the sum. In other words, α is the difference between γ and β. So, this should be the first way of working numbers when people wanted to record something important. However, it was not enough when things became more complicated. As a result, we can do a more difficult counting of multiplication and division. In this way, if we get the product γ of α multiplied by β, we will get the quotient β of γ divided by α. This rules become the basis of arithmetic, and it is designed that the rule of multiplication or division has priority over the one of addition or subtraction, and brackets over any rules. APPLICATIONS of Analysis The diagram shows information about the speeds of 100 cars. The fastest car had a speed of 70 mph. Now, it is your turn to do a simple analysis based on the diagram on the right hand side. 1. From the diagram, how many cars were travelling above 40 mph? A. 20. B. 33. C. 37. D. 80. 2. Which of the followings is the correct arithmetic description of the equation“(α－β)÷γ=δ”? A. The difference between α and the quotient of β divided by γ makes δ. B. α subtracted from the quotient of β divided by γ makes δ. C. The quotient of β divided by γ subtracted from α makes δ. D. The difference between α and β divided by γ makes δ. 3. What can be probably learnt according to the text? A. Number theory consists of algebra, geometry and analysis. B. The term of arithmetic was accepted in 2000. C. Number theory is based on arithmetic. D. Arithmetic is made up of mathematics. B 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE. Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Cumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury (陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment the court could give out. It was, said the judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and the police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Cumming. When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking… Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.” “It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly. “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!” Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee dear, pack your things. We’ll go to see him.” She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can’t go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well— his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us? ” Paddy was still weeping, but not for Frank, for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank. So he said “Well, Fee, we won’t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?” The eyes didn’t liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.” 4. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer. B. The family didn’t find out what happened to Frank until three years later. C The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder. D. Frank didn’t want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him. 5. Paddy didn’t cry for Frank because he thought ________. A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment B. Frank should have told Fee what had happened C. what had happened to Frank was killing Fee D. Frank had always been a man of bad moral character 6. Which of the following suggests that Fee was deeply shocked by what happened to Frank? A. “Her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead.” B. “Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants.” C. “Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away.” D. “The eyes didn’t liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks.” 7. “She half-rose before sinking back …” (in Paragraph 6) shows that ________. A. Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up B. Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank C. Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see Frank D. Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish C The elusive profound mystery of happiness could be as simple as remembering the good times and forgetting the regrets, a new university study reported yesterday. For people who look at the past through rose-tinted glasses are happier than those who focus on negative past experience and regrets, according to a new study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences. The study is conducive to the explanation of why personality has such a strong influence on a person’s happiness. The findings suggest that people with certain personality traits are happier than others because of the way they think about their past, present and future. The study examined how people’s ratings on the “Big Five” personality traits relate to their approach to time and life satisfaction. The “Big Five” model assesses how extroverted, open, responsible, agreeable, and neurotic a person is, and rates individuals as high or low on each personality trait rather than assigning them a personality type. “We found that the first four kind of people are happier with their lives because they tend to hold a bright view of the past and are less likely to have negative thoughts and regrets. People high on the neurotic scale essentially have the exact opposite view of the past and are less happier as a result,” said Ryan Howell, assistant professor of psychology at San Francisco State University, who authored the study with SF State College senior Jiawei Zhang. “This is good news because though it may be difficult to change your personality, you may be able to change your view of time and boost your happiness,” Howell said. The authors suggest that enjoying happy memories or reframing painful past experience in a positive light could be effective ways for individuals to increase their life satisfaction. “Personality traits influence how people look at the past, present and future and it is these different perspectives on time that drive a person’s happiness,” Howell added. 8. The underlined phrase “through rose-tinted glasses” in Para. 1 probably means “______”. A. in a neurotic way B. in a pessimistic way C. in an optimistic way D. in a disappointing way 9. According to the passage, ______ may well improve your happiness. A. forgetting memories B. changing your personality C. remembering painful past experience D. viewing painful past memories positively 10. What kind of people are likely to be unhappier? A. Highly extraverted. B. Very agreeable. C. Rather neurotic. D. Quite open. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Personality Traits B. Secret of Happiness C. Past Experience Leads to Unhappiness D. Never Let Regrets Affect Your Happiness D Once upon a time, a library was just about the only place that someone could go to get a book or go to read for free. Then came the arrival of the Internet, and that changed everything. Before long, books were available on different sites on the web. It was only a matter of time until Kindle, Nook, and other e-readers swept the scene. Along with them came the e-book. Many believed that this would be the end of libraries. But libraries still exist today, and many of them even thrive(繁荣). So, how is it possible that they survived against the onslaught of e-books? For one thing, the truth is that libraries were never just about borrowing books for free. Librarians provide many services other than those of a desk clerk or customer service agent. They often hold seminars, presentations, contests, and other events to promote free education. These events are considered necessary by parents and kids alike. For others, the library is a place where they can go to get away from the rush of the world and from social obligations or family troubles. Many go to the library to study for projects, papers and exams. Others simply see it as a recreational hobby. For another thing, most libraries and librarians do not reject the changing tides of technology. And neither does the world, for that matter. In the US, the graduate degree program to become a librarian is often called a Library Science program. It reflects the fact that the country believes its librarians should keep up with the latest in information technology. Many librarians agree, and therefore have become experts in the field. Librarians have by now and large willingly educated themselves in the technology needed to keep up with the fast-paced digital world of technology today. So consider a visit to your local library to see all the recent changes. If you haven’t been to one in a while you might not recognize the place. But don’t worry. Your librarian will be happy to bring you up to speed. 12. The underlined word “onslaught” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by “_____”. A. price B. attack C. future D. quality 13. According to Paragraph 4, many librarians ______. A. prefer traditional books to e-books B. don’t need to have a graduate degree C. can’t keep up with the world of technology D. have made good use of new technology in their work 14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of librarians? A. Hopeful. B. Careless. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving. 15. Which of the following shows the structure of the text? CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion A. B. C. D. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 Join the Friends and find the place that’s right for you ●Who are the Friends of the University Art Museum?

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 揭阳第一中学2024~2025学年度高二级（104届） 第二学期第一次阶段考试 英语 第一部分：听说合考（共三节，满分20分） 英语听说合考部分在本次阶段考试笔试前完成，卷面满分60分，按照高考英语听说合考成绩折算成20分制，结果按“四舍五入”取整数，计入本次考试总分。 笔试部分注意事项： 1、笔试部分满分120分，按高考笔试部分的算法折算成130分制，结果按“四舍五入”方式取整数，计入考试总成绩。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号和座位号填写在答题卡上。 2、回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3、考试结束后，将本试卷答题卡交回。 第二部分：阅读理解（共二节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

The growing popularity of travel results from convenient transportation, attractive social media posts, and the unique charm of cultural tourism destinations like Jieyang. More importantly, travel and learning complement each other. While books provide knowledge, travel offers practical experiences. Visiting historical sites helps us better understand textbook content, while communicating with locals improves language skills and cultural awareness.

I was so happy to hear the news that I immediately shared it with my teacher. “I knew you’d win! I am proud of you. You made it!” he said excitedly. Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher. I said, “It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher. Without your recognition and guidance, I couldn’t have written this article. Again thank you very much!” I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” “You know I didn’t like writing before, but now I am crazy about it! I will try my best to create good works.” I said seriously. Since then, I have written many good works and now I am a famous writer. I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
