B One of the most amazing natural wonders in the world is the Northern Lights,also known as the Aurora Borealis.This dazzling light show can be seen in the night sky near the north and south poles,painting the darkness with shining lines of green,pink,purple,and sometimes even red.But what causes this magical phenomenon,and where can you see it? The Northern Lights are a result of activity on the Sun.The Sun always sends out tiny energy particles()called solar wind.When these particles come to Earth,they meet Earth's magnetic field (and move toward the North and South Poles.There,they hit gases in the air, mainly oxygen and nitrogen,and make them light up.The most common color is green,which comes from oxygen.Nitrogen produces purple or pink colors.The colors you see depend on which gas gets hit and how high up in the sky this happens. The best places to see the Northern Lights are in countries close to the Arctic Circle( )such as Norway,Sweden,Finland,Iceland,Canada,and Alaska.They are easiest to see during the winter months when nights are long and dark.Clear skies and locations far from city 第5页共12页 lights increase the chances of a good view.Some people even plan special trips just to witness this great view.waiting patiently in the cold for the lights to appear. For centuries,people have been attracted by the Northem Lights.Ancient cultures believed they were spirits dancing in the sky or messages from the gods.Today,scientists study them to understand more about space weather and how solar activity influences Earth.But for most of us, the Northem Lights remaiti ebeethtul mystery-a reminder of how amazing our planet and space truly arc.If you ever get the chance to see them,it will surely be an unforgettable experience. 40.What's the main couse of the Norther Lights?

C.They're amazing,like spirits dancing in the sky. D.They're the messages from tbe gods. C Think about the last time you went to an art or history museum.Which pieces of artifacts (stood out to you?Did you read the introduction next to them?Did it tell you where the artifacts were from and how the museums got them? Today,many museums around the world own art and artifacts that were stolen or looted.( from their original countries during war or colonial rule.You may see ancient Chinese paintings shown in the British Museum,or sculptures from Africa that date back to the 19th century on display in the Louvre Museum.Many countries have asked European museums to repatriate the artifacts. The debate()over whether and how museums should give back artifacts to their original countries has been going on for many years.Those who suggest returning all foreign artifacts to their homes insist that it is morally (the right thing to do.Furthermore,the country owning the objects will receive an important part of their heritage back,and these artifacts 第6页共12页 will be given a chance to be truly valued in their homeland. Yet there are different voices.Those against the retum point out that some foreign artifacts were not stolen but bought a long time ago.Also,it is sometimes hard to identify (the true owners of certain artifacts-should they be retured to the countrya group or an individual? There is also a view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact "cultural ambacsodors ()"that improve understanding They believe that while taking them away from their countries of origin was wrong,history is full of"good"and"bad"actors.Moreover,they feel that keeping the cultural objects in the current museums has kept millions of artifacts safe from damage. On the matter of retur,some governments have made the move.In 2018,French President Emmanuel Macron told officially that France would give back 26 looted treasures to the African state of Benin."I cannot accept that a large part of cultural heritage from several African countries is in France,"said Macron.It's said to be part of France's long-promised plans to return artifacts taken from Africa during the colonial rule. Museums all across Europe began reconsidering their previous policies on colonial trcasures.In France,twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for retumn,but only one has been returned.Then,on October 6,2020,France's National Assembly officially passed a bill ( promising the return of these heritage artifacts,but didn't fix a certain date.It seems that there is still a long way to go for the retur of foreign heritage treasures. 53.The underlined word "repatriate"in paragraph 2 probably means A.protect B.show C.return D.borrow 54.Pcople who consider foreign artifacts as"cultural ambassadors"may agree that A.artifacts will be better protected in their homeland B.heritage artifacts belong to all the human heings C.mistakes in history need correcting in time D.history museum tours will be popular in the future 55.What can we learn from the passage' A.French museums refused to identify all the cofonial treasures. B Policies and bills have no use in protecting foreign heritage treasures. C.The treasures stolen or looted can hardly be back to their homeland soon. D.Governments have the duty to keep foreign treasures in good protection. 56.By writing this passage,the writer avants to A.explain how and why many foreignseasures were stolen or looted B.advise goverments to take actions in retuming foreign treasures C.encourage us to take part in the debate over stolen or looted treasures D.show different views and present situation on the retum of treasures D DIn 2018,Science magazine asked some young scientists what schools should teach students.Most said students should spend less time remembering facts and have more space for creative activities. 第7页共12页 2This idea secms to make sense today.With the Internet and smart machines,knowledge is casy to find.What's more.civilizations (develop through forgetting life skills that were once necessary.So.why should students carry so much knowledge in their heads? ③_For onc,,human beings have biases(偏见)，and smart machines are likely to increase our biases..Many people believe smart machines are correct and objective(客观的)，but machines are trained through a repeated way of testing and scoring.During the steps of practice, they depend on humans to decide on the correct answers. Another problem is that being able to find answers so quickly makes us believe they are always in our heads.When there were no computers,we should make great efforts to get knowledge from other people,or go to the library.We know what knowledge lies in other brains or books,and what lies in our heads.But with the easy ways to get information,we get a wrong idea about what we truly know. BDependency (on a network also increases the possibility of being harmed easily. The basic idea is,if the things we depend on stop working.we are in trouble.Imagine this,if the systems we depend on for health,like food and energy,stop working.it will cause serious problems for everyone.Without food we get hungry,without energy we feel cold.The greatest danger to a civilization is that if it loses its memory,it could enter a dark age. 6We leave old skills behind to leam new ones.As memorics disappear,we can become strangers to our own history. 57.Which is the best sentence for A.Maybe it doesn't matter at all. B.Machines decide on the correct answer. C.Researchers have realized several problems. D.Research shows that machines are smarter than humans. 58.Which is the best outline for the passage? ①1l ① ②f topic -topic ①1 topic topic ， ② A. problems B. problems ③ advantnges problems D. ④ ④1 ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ problems advantages ⑥-result ⑥result 6 result result 59.According to this passage,which of the following is TRUE? A.Depending on networks makes our lives safer and easier. B.Easier ways to get knowledge help humans create better future. C.Young scientists think remembering facts is the most important skill for students. D.Smart machines are not always objective because they depend on human decisions 60.What's the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To celebrate the progress of smart machines. B.To discuss problems of communicating with machines. C.To tell us the risk of depending on machines to remember. D.To show the importance of improving problem-solving ability. 第8贞共12页 第二节信息还原六选五)（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有一项为多余选项。 Most of us grew up reading fairy tales that start with"Once upon a time"and end with"the princess and prince lived happily ever after".61 But in the eyes of two Italian writers, Favilli and Cavallo,this is what's been wrong with children's stories for-years. "Children's books have always remained the same since we were children,"Cavallo said. And a study also found while 80 percent of male characters in most popular children's books have a job,only 18 pereent of female characters do. Good Night Stories for Rebel (Girls is an "anti-princess"collection.It gives young girls role models of their own to admire.The first book was published in December 2019,and the second one came out on Feb 28,2021.13 A To the surprise of children's book writers,every one of them has a job or professional ambition ()Many"characters"in the book are well-known female stars that children look up to. 一-▲，This is because it is not really seen as positive..(积极的).But being rebellious is actualls-being independent,which many of today's girls need to develop.It is important to be independent for girls,65 And this message is made clear,with the book's first page reading "To all the girls of the world,dream bigger,aim higher,fight harder". A.So they together wrote books only about female characters. B.They seem to be harmless or even sweet perhaps. C.On the other hand,it is not good enough for boys to enjoy. D.because they have to nght harder than boys to achieve their dreams. E.However,the word"rebel"may make some people feel uncomfortable. R.Both books include the stories of 100 excellent women from all over the world. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共55分） 第Ⅱ卷共26小题，请将答案按要求写在答题卡上。 五、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，在标有题号的横线上，填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形 式。 Love Yourself,My Precious"Old Self Have you noticed this?Recrntly,the fun phrase "Love you,my old self(66) (become)popular online.For junior high students,it's more than a funny trend-it's a warm reminder of self-care,which helps us keep our minds healthy.Whether we finish hard homework, get over a bad exam,or just get through a tiring day,saying this phrase feels like hugging our own hearts,(67)Atpraise)our efforts and comforting oursolves. We're always told to "be better,"but when we try hard to improve ourselves,we often lose 第9页共12页 sight of self-acceptancethe base of true self-care.Self-care sometimes (68). (consider)as being lazy or ignoring mistakes,but that's wrong.It's treating ourselves as(69) (kind)as we treat good friends.Sometimes,we even treat ourselves as our (70). (enemy)by scolding ourselves for small errors.But self-care tells us (71) cancel)these behaviors.Instead,we should accept that we're not perfect and know our worth isn't about being the best. In everyday life,we'll (72) (probable)face problems like failed tests or missed chances.But these don't define us.What matters is to fall in love with who we are-our hard work,courage,and even faults.Self-care doesn't need big acts:we can steal 10 minutes of quiet time after class,take a walk in the park,or enjoy a bowl of favorite food.These small things feed our hearts and give us (73) strong). Just like Quan Hongchan,who bravely (74). _(come)back after an injury and said "I'm awesome!"Her story shows self-love is about progress,not being the best.In life's final run, true wealth isn't grades or prizes-it's loving and caring for ourselves.Tonight,before sleep, whisper:"Love you,my old self."When we do this,we gain power to face any challenge and grow into a (75)(aood)person. 六、短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读短文，根据所给的首字母提示，写出一个合适的单词，使短文通顺。 The Hanyi Festival,also called Winter Clothing Festival,is an important traditional Chinese festival.It falls on the first day of the 10th lunar month-this year on Nov 20.Together with Qingming Festival and Zhongyuan Festival,it's one of China's three "ghost festivals,"focusing on remembering family members who have(76)p away The festival (77)d back to the Zhou Dynasty.At first,people (78)pA winter clothes for each other as the cold came.Later,it became a day to (79)h ancestors.A famous legend says Lady Meng Jiang traveled far to bring winter clothes to her husband,who worked on the Great Wall.Sadly,he had died,so she bumed the clothes to send her love to him. This story made the custom of buring paper clothes popular. Today,people still(80)cit in peaceful ways.The traditional custom is to bum paper clothes,but many now choose eco-friendly ways like offering flowers.Some regions also have special foods,,such as red bean rice,These traditions not just(8I)c_rituals(仪式，惯例)， but also show deep love for ancestors. We should (82)n_ lose these traditions nor forget our roots.The festival directs us to respect the past and cherish family bonds.It's not a(83)sAday of simple activities,but a reflection of Chinese culture in passing down (84)v-Aof filial piety()and remembrance.Through sending warmth to ancestors,it teaches us to love those around us and hold onto our cultural heritage.In this way,the Hanyi Festival keeps our family ties and cultural identity alive,(85)cA the past,present and future with endless care. 第10页共12页
