It's better to take a shower than a bath. It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is.If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower,you'll use as much water as in a bath----about 50 litres of water. Therefore,the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible. Eating local food is good for the environment. It seems like common sense:eating local food should be better for the environment,because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport.Unfortunately,it is not that simple.In some cases,local produce might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than produce grown a long way away. When we tun off a device,such as television,it goes into stand-by (mode.Devices in this mode still use power,and older devices in stand-by mode can use even more.This happens because electricity continues to leak from the device,even when it is turned"off'.To make sure your appliances are in fact off,remove the plug (from its power supply. Environmental awareness is now part of daily life.But it's worth checking common ideas and opinions to see what's really green. 21.What food is more environmentally friendly? A.None of them. B.It all depends. C.Local food. D.Non-native food. 22.Which of the following best suits the blank? A.When you turn off a device,it still uses power. B.Going into stand-by mode is better than turning off a device. C.Unplugging a device is better than turning off a device. D.When you tun off a device,it stops using power. 2 23.Why does the author write this passage? A.To explain the significance of energy-saving. B.To call on people to protect the environment. C.To tell the truth about some“green truths'” D.To present some practical ways to reduce waste. B Even at 80,Mei Jingtian continues to watch over the Great Wall. Living in a village near the Great Wall,Mei has a deep love for the wall.He still remembers he usually ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on this impressive structure when he was a child.However,when he returned to the village after working outside for years,he was surprised by the damage to the ancient wall."Some villagers even took bricks from it to build their houses,"Mei said. To help protect the wonder,Mei volunteered to walk along the wall each day to check its condition,encouraging other villagers to join him."Of course,it might be dangerous to hike in the mountains by myself,so I always tap the grassy ground along the way with a wooden stick,scaring wild animals away,"Mei said. In 2006,as head of the village,Mei helped set up a local volunteer protection group.Realizing the importance of heritage protection,more and more villagers returned the bricks they had taken, and about 80 of them joined as volunteers.To ensure that the volunteers could carry out their duties effectively,Mei arranged for training programs on basic protection and safety measures.Together, they conducted daily check-ups to track the condition of the Great Wall and reported any damages. Encouraged by her father,Mei's daughter,followed him and officially became a Great Wall protector in 2019."When I was a child,my father always told me his stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,"Mei's daughter said."It is also my responsibility to protect the cultural heritage.” The past ten years have seen Mei's preservation efforts to the Great Wall."It is my biggest wish to see heritage well-preserved and open to visits,encouraging more people to join us in protecting the Great Wall,"Mei says. 24.What did Mei often do when he was a child? A.He took bricks from it to build houses. B.He helped repair parts of the wall. C.He learned about the wall's history. D.He played games with his friends. 25.What is the purpose of Mei taking a wooden stick? A.For marking his path. B.For checking the grassy ground. C.For warning wild animals D.For helping climb the Great Wall 26.Why did the author mention Mei's daughter? A.To show Mei's positive influence. B.To share Mei's family stories. C.To introduce Mei's family members. D.To show Mei's love for his daughter. 27.What can we learn about Mei according to the passage? A.He often collects litter left by tourists. B.He is concerned about wild animals. C.He is a protector of the Great Wall. D.He likes guiding visitors along the wall. C What is talent?Are you born with it?Or does it seem to develop over time?Before I start,I'd like to say that one thing everyone agrees on is that the most skilled musicians have worked hard to get there. While it's true that a few of us had enough"talent"to avoid extra practice to do just as well as 3 those who did,those who worked hard easily beat us.It is,in fact,very likely that if some of us "talented ones"had actually been practicing and improving our skill,we would have achieved a whole different level. Another aspect of talent seems to be heart and passion ()The people I see who are the most talented musicians are crazy about music.They eat,breathe,and live music and they make an extraordinary effort to make it part of their lives.As Remus Badea said,desire for the musician-to-be is significant for them to be successful.This desire is easily found in those considered to be talented.When you want and love something so bad,it drives you and your entire character can be shaped around it.Such determined passion seems to produce incredible skill and talent. The third aspect (of talent is having talent around you.When surrounded by talented musicians,it only seems natural that you start to catch up to their level Take a look at almost any group of musicians in history.The more talented people in the group the more talented the group is as a whole.A great example of this is the relationship between audio producer and artist.The artist turns up to the studio with their song,and as they work through recording it,the audio producer will often suggest various changes to the song to make it better. 28.What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A.Practice contributes to talent. B.It's never too old to learn. C.Pride goes before a fall. D.Talent determines achievements. 29.What is the key to success according to Remus Badea? A.Character. B.Passion. C.Skill. D.Talent. 30.Why is the example mentioned in the last paragraph? A.To introduce what real talents are. B.To explain how a song is composed. C.To show the benefits of being with talents. D.To prove talents need team spirit. 31.What might the author probably agree with? A.Music has no limits. B.Musicians are born with talent. C.Musicians are created,not born. D.Music favors the talented 0 U.S.teens spend more than eight hours a day on screens,and there's growing concern over it. Now,a new study published by the American Psychological (Association,confirms that teens seem to feel better about themselves when they cut back. Social media can feel like a comparison trap(陷阱)，”says study author Helen Thai,,a doctoral student in psychology at McGill University.Her research found that limiting screen time to about one hour a day helped anxious teens and young adults feel better about their body image and their appearance."What I noticed in social media was that I couldn't help but compare myself." Thai says.Reading posts from famous people and influencers,as well as people in her own social network,led to a lack of self-confidence. So,Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether reducing time on social media would improve body image.They gathered a few hundred volunteers,aged 17-25,all of whom had experienced symptoms()of anxiety or depression-which could make them easily influenced by social media.Half of the volunteers were asked to reduce their social media to 60 minutes a day for three weeks.The other half continued to use social media with no limits. The researchers gave the volunteers surveys at the beginning and end of the study,including statements such as“T'm pretty happy about the way I look,”and“I am satisfied with my weight.” Among the group that cut social media use,the overall score on appearance improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a 5-point scale.The change may seem small,but any change in such a short period of time is worth noticing "It's encouraging that college students were willing to cut back screen time,even for three weeks,"psychologist Andrea Graham says.While this study included people with symptoms of anxiety or depression,Graham says it's worth applying this approach to other groups,such as people with eating problems. 32.What is the probable meaning of the underlined sentence in para 2? A.Teens are forced to post their own images on social media B.Teens couldn't help but spend too much time on social media C.Teens tends to compare themselves with others on social media D.Teens are fooled into believing false information on social media 33.How was the research conducted by Thai and a team of researchers? A.By listing numbers B.By making comparisons C.By giving examples D.By analyzing causes and effects 34.What can we learn about the survey? A.The study included people with mental health and eating problems B.There was little difference in appearance score between the two groups C.College students were not willing to reduce screen time for more weeks D.Cutting social media use makes a difference to teens'opinion of their image 35.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A.Social media,a time bomb on your health B.Less screen time,more self-confidence C.How to improve your image on social media D.Concern over social media addiction keeps growing 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文中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。 Have you noticed how happy songs can give you energy,while peaceful tunes(can help you relax？36 What is "getting lost in music"? This means focusing on the music so hard that you shut out your other thoughts for a short time. 37 It could be reading a book or talking to friends.However,experts say if you try out different styles of music and listen closely to things like rhythm (the pattern of sounds),you improve its benefits and let it change how you are feeling at that moment. 38 Music is a language everyone understands and has brought humans together for thousands of years.Scientists say this is because it releases()different chemicals in the brain that make you feel happy and closer to others.If you've studied for a test by singing your times tables you'll know how music can boost your memory.Research shows that listening to calm tunes reduces stress. 39 How can you get lost in music? Start by listening to types of music you haven't tried before.Focus on different parts of the music.Listening while moving connects you closely to the sound,so dance around your room and notice how the song changes.40 What is the music trying to tell you?What can you see, feel and even taste?By listening carefully,you can get the most from music. 5 A.Why should you get lost in music?
