But for some,the game of make-believe lives on in Live Action Role-Playing,or LARP.This is a game where people act out characters in a(n)(31) plot.A gamemaster creates the plot and then puts together an event where people(32) the story.Those who find a particular plot interesting sign up for the event.Then the gamemaster,or the players themselves,make up their characters for the story.At the event,each person comes in costume and behaves as their character. Although pretty much anything goes in LARP,nearly every event involves players completing a(n)(33)together.A gamemaster writes a goal into the plot and usually prepares challenges for the players.For example,a character may hold up the mission,making it hard to (34)the goal:LARP events can be as long as the gamemasters want them to be.They can last anywhere from a few hours to several days. The genius of LARP is that each event can be any kind of story.The most (35)ones come from fantasy,historical,horror or science fiction genres () With such a variety of story types,LARP attracts all kinds of people.Some players enjoy LARP as a(n)(36)to practice creating or costume-making.Other players enjoy the challenge of slipping into different worlds and using their brains to solve puzzles.There are also those who simply want to have fun and make friends. One (37)LARP players have is coming out of their LARP experiences and returning to the real world.This is especially common after a long event.Most players experience a "bleed,"which describes parts of their LARP experience (38)into their everyday life.Since all the senses-seeing,hearing,touching, sinelling and tasting-are at work,(39)becomes difficult.However, researchers agree that the overall effects of LARP are(40)People of different backgrounds come together to grow their skills,play and express creativity.

In the campaign against the COVID-19 outbreak,this dining tradition has been greatly (42).Since each diner picks food out of the communal plates on a bite-by-bite basis with their chopsticks,the virus can be transferred from saliva() to chopsticks to the dish.What's worse,diners often(43)others with their own utensils,such as chopsticks or spoons,to express friendliness and care.Several cases of coronavirus are thought to have (44)through families when sharing food during the Chinese New Year period. Communal eating has thus become a target of both governments and restaurants. Posters have been (45)by local governments to encourage people to use serving utensils.Concerned about customers being very careful about returning to restaurants,the catering industry (has(46)joined the campaign.For example,many restaurants,once allowed to reopen,have immediately sprung into action,particularly offering set meals for one single person. These changes are likely to continue and could be encouraged by local regulations,as eating together (47)can always protect the public health.The measures will (48)the traditional mealtime manners. The move away from a traditional cultural (49)is ongoing.But as an expert said,"In modern times to eat individually may lose some tradition,but it can also mean more opportunities for(50)something new in Chinese food and eating habits.” I.Reading Comprehension Section A Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. A Crazy But Perfect Way to Make Friends When I was teaching indoor cycling every week,an unexpected benefit of the job was free ice cream.One of the class (51)had an ice cream machine at home and sometimes brought samples for me to try,in(52)such as pumpkin and strawberry.· I'think he did this not only because he was a nice person but also because in class, I was the nicest version of myself:warm,welcoming,and encouraging,(53) my usual critical tendency.I noticed this friendliness in others,too.Two people who met in my class started dating.Strangers who became friends there went out for post-workout coffees.Two of the other class invited me to go skiing with them.Many 高一英语第5页共11页 of the good friends I have at age 35 are people I met in exercise classes I attended regularly.These experiences have(54)me that group fitness classes are the best place to make friends as an adult-an idea supported by research that suggests the feel-good chemicals of exercise have interpersonal(55) Once,countless friendship were born in what the sociologist Oldenburg called "third places"physical places that aren't a home or(56),don't charge much for entry,and exist in large part to (57)conversation.Over the past several decades,especially as a result of the pandemic,third places such as bars and cafes have begun playing a much smaller role in social life,depriving American adults of the opportunities for encounters that can lead to friendship.Perhaps that's partly why Americans rank(58)relationships among their top New Year's wishes. Group fitness classes don't exactly fit the definition of a third place.They cost money,and (59) activities within them are sweating,complaining,and skipping a few motions when the instructor isn't looking.(60)they fulfill many conditions that sociopsychology research has shown to help form meaningful (61)between strangers:proximity (being in the same place),ritual (at the same time,over and over),and shared experiences or interest (because you do and like the same things).Trying hard to (62)shared interests can be horribly awkward when you meet someone new at work or even at a party.Group fitness classes make it a little easier,Stephanie Goldberg,an athlete psychotherapist in New York,told me. "(63),when you walk into a fitness class,you are likely to share the idea that we like to exercise or we like to do this particular kind of exercise",she said,"It can start conversations differently,compared with standing in a bar or at someone's house." Of course,(64) still requires someone to say something,which,if you are sweaty and panting,could be put off a bit. Whether I'm an instructor or a classmate,one simple(65) has never failed me:I simply walk up to someone after class and say,"hey,good job." 51.A.concepts B.alternatives C.regulars D.comedians 52.A.flavors B.ingredients C.goods D.styles 53.A.because of B.in spite of C.in addition to D.apart from 54.A.convinced B.frustrated C.established D.permitted 55.A.factors B.issues C.attempts D.benefits 56.A.base B.workplace C.habitat D.castle 57.A.foster B.survive C.load D.filter 58.A.settling B.quitting C.improving D.adapting 59.A.main B.intense C.definite D.spontaneous 60.A.But B.So C.And D.Though 61.A.regards B.chores C.connections D.structures 62.A.put aside B.find out C.hang on D.check out 63.A.Currently B.Automatically C.Incredibly D.Slightly 64.A.breaking the ice B.seeking out C.cheering up D.popping up 65.A.appointment B.origin C.strategy D.judgement Section B 高一英语第6页共11页 Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) A short period of sleep taken during the day is known as a nap.Naps don't just have benefits for adults at work,though.They could also help pupils to make the most of their school day.Studies have shown that a20 to 30-minute "beauty sleep"makes people more alert and focused.This improves people's ability to remember new information,which would help school children concentrate during lessons.Experts say that napping also improves brain functions,such as memory and the ability to complete difficult tasks. The school day starts early,which means that pupils don't always get enough sleep because there's no chance to have a lie-in.Adding naptime during the school day would help exhausted pupils to make up for any sleep they've lost from getting up so early. There are long-term benefits to taking a short nap,too.According to a recent study from University College London,the brains of people who have regular naps are bigger than those who don't.People's brains naturally shrink when they grow old, and the results showed that little sleeps can help people's brains to age more slowly. Although a nap can seem like a good idea,going to sleep for too long can actually make you feel worse.It's not very pleasant to wake up from a daytime nap feeling confused and sleepy.Napping during the day can also have a negative impact on how well you sleep at night.This can create a cycle of not being able to sleep as well at night,leaving you feeling even more tired in the daytime.Sleep expert Dr Clete Kushida said,"It's generally recommended to maximize sleep at night. Another consideration is that there really isn't time in the school day for pupils to go to sleep.Some parents and teachers are concerned that it would cause children to miss too much lesson time.Pupils might take advantage of the system and use their need for a nap as an excuse to get out of lessons. So,what do you think?Should school allow kids to have naps,or should you wait until the evening to catch up on your sleep? 66.It can be inferred from the passage that A.children need more naps than adults do B.naps improve memory,efficiency and beauty C.both children and adults are equally in need of naps D.naps can bring more benefits to children than to adults 67.According to the passage,napping for too long is not advisable because A.it may affect a healthier cycle of sleep B.school kids will feel too sleepy to wake up C.it can't make up for the sleep lost from waking up early D.it extends the school day for kids to have enough lessons 68.Which of the following statements can be learned about taking naps according to the passage? 高一英语第7页共11页 A.It's better for babies to have as many daytime naps as possible B.Regular naps can slow the rate at which brains shrink with age. C.There's no need to guarantee night sleep if one has regular naps. D.Different from teachers,parents want their kids to have naptimes. 69.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A.Should Schools Have Naptimes? B.How Could Naptimes Benefit Kids? C.Are Kids Losing Too Much Sleep? D.Do You Get Enough Daytime Sleep? (B) Packing lists will vary based on where you're going and how long you're traveling,but the best travel accessories (can improve every trip.Taking the right things means a smoother joumey,every time.Below,we've rounded up some accessories to pack. Discover the best travel accessories: ·A trusted tote .A travel toiletry bag •A tray table cover ·A portable steamer .A tech kit ●A power adapter ...(to discover more,click here) A trusted tote A tote is the perfect personal bag during a flight-it's roomy enough to store all your bits and pieces,and is usually pretty pliable,meaning you can press it under the seat without taking up all the room for your feet.It's also easy to carry while you're rushing through the airport. A travel toiletry bag It is key to keeping your belongings organized.We all like those with their good space for toothbrush,soaps and other necessary things in bathrooms.No matter where you're headed,and who you're traveling with,you should certainly choose a hanging toiletry bag that allows you to keep things tidy and off the bathroom table. A tray table cover This has become one of the most popular in-flight travel necessities.It covers the surface-so you can eat and work off of it without worrying that the surface might not be clean enough.Another advantage:it has four pockets to store must-haves like your passport,phone,etc. A portable steamer If you're traveling to a wedding or heading out on a business trip,you may want a steamer to make your formal wear look its best after you take it out of your bag.A portable steamer can get the job done and at the same time it's light and small and easy to pack.

D.A portable steamer. 72.The passage is written to A.show strengths of travelling necessities B.advertise useful items for a trip C.share practical travelling accessories D.discuss how to pack for a trip (C) Riding the bus to school could be keeping some kids out of class.Most school buses run on fuel.Those buses send out pollution,including tiny particles and gases. Bus riders get exposed to high levels of this pollution.When breathed in,it can lead to breathing problems,such as asthma ()which may keep kids home from school. But replacing the worst-polluting buses should cut down on student absences,a new study shows. The study focused on schools that were asked to take part in a U.S.government program.The program offered schools cash back for money spent on cleaner school buses.The 2,816 school districts in the new study all asked for the money.But not all got it.Only 383 were picked to receive funding.Winning districts could buy new buses and desert old ones. The program started in 2012.From 2012 to 2017,the winning districts very likely had less bus pollution.And a year after getting new buses,student attendance had improved in those districts.For an average district of 10,000 students,about six more students attended school each day in the winning districts.Districts that replaced the oldest buses had an average of 45 more students in school each day. Those numbers may sound small,but they can add up,says Meredith Pedde,an environmental epidemiologist(流行病学家).Almost3 million U.S.kids ride school 高英语第9页共11页 buses more than 20 years old,her team figures.Replacing all of those old buses could mean 1.3 million fewer student absences each year,the data suggest.And school attendance matters for student achievement. Now the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)has a new program for school buses.It's offering $5 billion through 2026 to replace old fuel buses with cleaner ones.Almost all U.S.school districts can apply for the new rebates.But schools in low-income areas and in rural areas will get priority.Kids in these areas tend to face the most health risks from old buses,EPA notes.And anything that cuts air pollution,Pedde says,should improve student health. 73.What is the primary reason why riding the bus to school might lead to student absences? A.Serious fuel shortage for school buses. B.Lack of available seats on school buses. C.High risk of disease spreading in a bus. D.High levels of pollution from school buses. 74.What does Meredith Pedde suggest about the impact of replacing old buses? A.It increases health risks for students. B.It is a costly and ineffective measure. C.It helps to improve student attendances. D.It has no significant effect on absences. 75.What does the underline word"rebates"in Paragraph 5 probably refer to? A.Financial aids. B.School posts. C.Health benefits. D.Public resources. 76.What is the purpose of the text? A.To describe the potential risk of school buses B.To talk about the use of cleaner school buses. C.To discuss the importance of decreasing absence. D.To call on the government to improve school buses. Section C Directions:After reading the passage below,choose the best answers from the six statements according to what you have just read. A.There's such a focus on individual intelligence and individual accomplishment. B.To sum up,this ability to predict group success may offer guidance in real-life situations. C.Instead,a group is more successful if it contains people who can read emotions from people's faces. D.Group intelligence may also be rooted in the past. E.The volunteers were then split into groups of two to five and asked to do some simple tasks. F.Next,the groups were each asked to perform more complex tasks. 高英语第10页共11页
