He has been dubbed by netizens as the most powerful cleaning monk — after a character in Chinese writer Louis Cha’s novel Tianlong Babu who disguises himself as a cleaning monk at the Shaolin Temple in Henan province. In the video, the worker, Zhang Xu spoke with such ease and confidence that it seemed like he was performing a tongue twister. What made it special was his recitation of dozens of hard-to-pronounce Buddhist sites. People thought he must be a tour guide or expert, yet he was wearing a janitor’s uniform and holding a broom. After his explanation, Zhang smiled and returned to his work as though nothing had happened. The video immediately became a trending topic on social media. Netizens expressed amazement at how ordinary people can become experts in certain areas.” Zhang is better than regular tour guides, and the palace should offer him a job as a docent (讲解员).” One netizen commented. Zhang said he was surprised he’d become famous online as he only wanted to help the tourists who seemed puzzled. He told Beijing Daily that he had been interested in architecture since he was a child. He had been a security guard and construction worker and has always had a strong interest in traditional architecture. He often refers to books or finds relevant information online in his spare time. Zhang joined the cleaning staff at the palace in late 2021 and walks about 40,000 steps inside the palace every day, so he knows a lot about it. “The traditional architecture of the palace is not just an assembly of bricks and layers. These elements are friends who have deep history and know how to speak to people who understand them,” he said, “They are historic marvels with distinctive Asian aesthetics.” 4. In which way does Zhang usually acquire knowledge about architecture? A. Consulting books and websites B. Consulting experts and guides C. Communicating with docents D. Communicating with tourists 5. Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Zhang used to work as a cleaning monk at the Shaolin Temple. B. Zhang spoke confidently because he was good at performing tongue twister. C. Numerous netizens spoke up for Zhang who has not been offered a job as a docent. D. Gaining popularity online came as a surprise to Zhang, whose intention was to help out. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Zhang Xu? A. Cheerful and Helpful B. Brilliant and Passionate C. Generous and Humorous D. Curious and Courageous 7. What’s the main idea of the text? A. The Summer palace regained popularity thanks to its janitor. B. A video on a knowledgeable cleaning monk went viral on social media. C. A cleaning staff was praised online for his expert explanation of relics. D. A cleaning staff worked hard to be an expert in cultural relics C “One, two, three, post the product links!” “Please press the button and give us a thumb-up” “exactly!” the “vibe group,” which means a group of people who are pumping some life into live-streaming and coordinating with live streamers to help steer customers to buy products. The group, also referred to as the “E-commerce straight man/crosstalk” by Chinese users, has stirred a craze in recent weeks on Chinese media platforms. For the “E-commerce crosstalk” or people who help live streamers to sell their merchandise it is their specialization. However, others believe that this is confusing to consumers. The “E-commerce crosstalk” is also known as the center control of the live stream. The work of the center control spans across the pre, mid and post-stage of the live stream, and needs to be responsible for equipment debugging (调试), backstage operation, maintenance of the live stream order, data review and other contents. They usually create a warming vibe to help live streamers sell products such as “I want 100k likes, could you guys help me to get them, please”, “Post product links!”, “Repost!” or “Let’s join the fan club”. These are normal psychological suggestions for customers which don’t break any of the rules of how to conduct business. While the “E-commerce crosstalk” group doesn’t just control tempo, they also have another important role — they create a sense of exigency for customers, making them buy now, such as “My friends, the last one! Hurry, buy it now!” “How many are left? No, almost out of stock, only 30 left!” “Buy more today! Hurry up my friends! Go to the yellow cart, find the 1st link! Great price, great quality!” “These practices are creating an illusion (错觉) of inventory constraints to mislead customers,” Fan Xiaolin, a Beijing-based lawyer told us. The unrealistic atmosphere created by the “E-commerce crosstalk” can easily mislead consumers, causing them to make irrational purchases. The 2020 China Live E-commerce Industry Research Report shows that the average return rate of live e-commerce is as high as 30 percent to 50 percent, which is much higher than the traditional e-commerce return rate of 10 percent to 15 percent. 8. What do “E-commerce crosstalk” specialize in? A. Guiding staff to post the product lines. B. Motivating followers to click the “like” button. C. Assisting live streamers to sell goods. D. Monitoring the live stream to function smoothly. 9. What is the “E-commerce crosstalk” group forbidden to do in live stream? A To ask for a great many thumb-ups. B. To tempt the fans to shower the streamer with gifts. C. To invite consumers to join fan clubs. D. To share or forward the live stream to others. 10. What does the underlined word “exigency” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Urgency B. Rhythm C. Involvement D. Motivation 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. E-commerce crosstalk can create an authentic atmosphere for viewers. B. The customers of e-commerce tend to be irrational. C. The traditional e-commerce return rate is relatively lower. D. The products of live streamers are in short supply. D Exercise makes you happier than wealth, a new study says. Regular physical activity is a huge boost to mental well-being, on par with a pay rise. Instead of logging extra hours at work in hopes of getting a pay rise, maybe you should hit the gym instead, as it could make you just as happy as that extra money. An interesting new study, published in the Lancet, found that people who are physically active have a greater sense of well-being than those who are inactive — and that active individuals feel as good as inactive people who earn $25,000 more per year. Researchers from Oxford and Yale Universities used data gathered from more than 1.2 million Americans. They were asked, “How many times have you felt mentally unwell in the past 30 days, for example, due to stress, depression, or emotional problems?” Participants were also asked about their exercise habits and were able to choose from 75 diverse physical activities, including mowing the lawn, doing housework and childcare, running, weightlifting, and cycling. The researchers found that people who exercise regularly feel bad for an average of 35 days per year, whereas inactive people feel bad for an additional 18 days. From the study: “Individuals who exercised had 43 percent fewer days of poor mental health in the past month than individuals who did not exercise but were otherwise matched for several physical and socio-demographic (社会人口的) characteristics. All exercise types were associated with a lower mental health burden.” Social physical activities (i.e. team sports) had an even more positive effect, although cycling ranked highly. (I wonder if that’s because it takes place outdoors, which is always a mood booster.) It is possible to get too much exercise. From Business Insider’s write-up on the study, “The mental health of those participants who exercised for longer than three hours a day suffered more than that of those who weren’t particularly physically active.” The ideal amount seems to be three to five training sessions per week, lasting 30 to 60 minutes each. But the takeaway should be that any amount helps, so don’t stress about hitting that perfect balance: “All exercise types were associated with a lower mental health burden than not exercising.” 12. Who probably has the greatest sense of well-being? A. The individual who works out more than three hours a day. B. The inactive individual who gets better paid than before. C. The man who is physically active. D. The man who works out regularly and gets a pay rise. 13. Which of the following statements is true based on the study? A. Inactive people felt bad for 53 days per season. B. Active Individuals were 43 percent more likely to suffer from poor mental health. C. It doesn’t matter what forms of exercise you take. D. You’d better take exercises three to six days a week, each lasting 30 to 60 minutes. 14. Why does cycling rank highly as far as the author is concerned? A. Because it has more positive effect than other physical activities like team sports. B. Because you can build up your body more efficiently. C. Because you can work out in the open air and lift your spirits. D. Because it is an exercise which doesn’t exhaust your body too much. 15. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5-7? A. The study’s procedure. B. The study’s application. C. The study’s significance. D. The study’s findings. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Always the outsider? One of the things I used to fear was being the new girl in the office — in the kitchen making coffee while the in-crowd chatted about the weekend. I worried that I wasn’t good enough or smart enough. ___16___ I’d struggle for words while trying to look cool.

What fears are you projecting onto yourself? ●Practice self-acceptance. Remind yourself that it’s OK to have a different way of operating in the world. ●___20___ Sometimes interactions with random strangers can help us feel more confident in all our relationships. For example, volunteering can make us feel connected and give us a sense of belonging. A. Don’t charge into friendships, though. B. Start noticing your patterns of mentality. C. If I was asked a question, panic would set in. D. No one can make you feel lower without your agreement. E. The feeling of being an outsider would force me to shut up. F.

It was two days before Thanksgiving. I had been unemployed for months, and my daughter and I were barely surviving. I grabbed my purse in an attempt to fix the problem. I gathered all the change that I could, but $1.75 was not going to solve our problem. We were months behind on the rent, to the point that warning notices to move were being posted on our door daily. Now we were not only going to be forced out of the only home, but we were going to make that move in the dark and cold. My daughter got home from school. “Is the electricity off again?” she asked with a tone of accusation. “Yes,” was all that I could gather as I hung my head in shame. “Mom, are we poor?” “Only financially,” I responded, choking back the tears. At that moment, I felt a burst of energy. I had to do everything I could to make sure that Thanksgiving happened. After all, it would be our last one in our home. I had made Orphan (孤儿) Thanksgiving, which welcomed those people with nowhere to go, a tradition for 14 years. Now, with a warning notice and no electricity, how would I make my 15th Orphan Thanksgiving a reality? I had to ask for help, but slowly I was getting things done. I put out an announcement that it would be the last Orphan Thanksgiving at my house. People living next door were generous enough to offer help. We gathered candles. We cleaned the room. All that was left was to find the money to buy food for a Thanksgiving meal. That night, I sat in my candlelit bedroom with my daughter sleeping soundly next to me. I held my grandmother’s gold necklace in my hand for what felt like a lifetime. She was the woman who taught me to cook when I could barely walk. She grew up during the Depression, and she had told me many stories of hardship. I reasoned that she would have approved of my giving to those less fortunate. She would have approved. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning I sold the necklace. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the party, I came across a suitcase with a note on it under the dinner table. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高二年级阶段教学情况调研 英语试卷 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。 1.

Traditional Chinese Painting Club 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】One possible version: The next morning I sold the necklace. And then I rushed to the store to buy a turkey with some vegetables and fruits. By the time the food was made and guests started to arrive, I looked exhausted but happy. The aroma of Turkey filling the room and the soft bread reflecting the candlelight, a sumptuous dinner was already in place. Despite the lack of heat or light, everyone was enjoying dinner and conversation. We all expressed our heartfelt gratitude to others. My daughter proudly announced that the thing she was thankful for was her mommy, which brought tears to my eyes. It truly was a day for which to be thankful. After the party, I noticed a suitcase with a note on it under the dinner table. Puzzled and curious, I took up the note that read simply “Thanks for the giving.” Inside the suitcase were cards and encouragement like “Cheer up! Our troubles will soon be over. ” More than that, inside was money. I cried, my eyes misting and my mouth shivering slightly. It was enough to cover my electricity bill and save me from moving. To this day, I do not know who arranges this miracle. My daughter and I still live in the same house. I am living proof that one good turn deserves another. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
