Hidden Figures This film told the story of real-life Katherine Johnson and other female African-American mathematicians who helped drive the United States into space in the 1960s.It was actually based on a 2016 non-fiction book and the movie did boost sales of the book. Forrest Gump The 1994 movie which was based on the book by Winston Groom won six Academy Awards，including Best Picture and Best Actor for the star Tom Hanks.Although the movie’s critical and box-office success gave the book a huge boost，it’s the film that made its mark on pop culture history. The Girl on the Train Paula Hawkin’s psychological thriller，about a woman on a train who thinks she sees something strange out of the window，was a huge success.But unlike the fast-paced，can’t-be-put-down quality of the novel，the movie was boring. Field of Dreams It’s hard to describe the plot of this movie: Ray Kinsella hears a voice telling him to build a baseball field in his Iowa cornfield，and what happens next explores the themes of lost dreams，childhood heroes，and healing the pain of the past.The 1989 movie is based on W. P. Kinsella’s 1982 original，Shoeless Joe，but cuts out some extra characters. 21. Which is the best choice for a person who loves math? A. Hidden Figures. B. Forrest Gump. C. The Girl on the Train. D. Field of Dreams. 22. Who has won the Academy Award for Best Actor according to the text? A. W.P.Kinsella. B. Winston Groom. C. Paula Hawkin. D. Tom Hanks. 23. What is special about Field of Dreams? A. It is a romantic comedy. B. It presents several themes. C. It shows all the figures in Shoeless Joe. D. It was released in 1982 for the first time. B In the midst of my anxiety, the phone rang on Sunday before the first day of school. It was a recording of our head teacher. She said that school would be put off until Wednesday because of the typhoon in the area . Finally it was Wednesday. I walked into the campus nervously. I had to walk up to the third floor to have my first period—biology. Our teacher's name is Ms Compeau, and she has her special way of saying “be quiet”. She says “alligator(鳄鱼)”. She explained that she is the king of the class because alligators are the “king of the swamps(沼泽)”. After three periods, I was hungry. However, we had one more period before lunch. It was time for music class. I walked into a chaotic room with people talking, laughing and eating. There was no one I knew, so I sat alone. After lunch, I went to my English class. After four periods without too much of a challenge, I didn’t feel too bad about high school. However, the fifth period changed everything. I didn’t feel ready after all. My teacher, Mr Valassidis, told us that we would have to write 40 essays(论说文) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year. Come on, 40 ESSAYS? AP-level books? He also talked about how important it was to be focused. Last year was not a very “focused” year for me. While I was doing my homework, I was often talking on the phone. I planned on stopping doing so this year because I wanted to stay an honor student. All in all, the first day of high school was good. I already felt like I was well on my way toward a successful high school life. 24. What was the purpose of Sunday's phone call from the school? A. To tell students the new start date of school. B. To ask the students to help put out the fire. C. To instruct the preparations for the new term. D. To warn students to pay attention to safety. 25. What does “alligator” mean in Ms Compeau's class? A. A kind of wild animal. B. The teacher's pet name. C. A classroom order to stop talking. D. The instruction for the end of class. 26. What does the underlined word “chaotic” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Strange. B. Bright. C. Noisy. D. Large. 27. Why did the author feel unprepared for high school during the English class? A. Students were not allowed to use phones. B. The teacher was too strict with students. C. English was a bit difficult for her. D. It required lots of learning tasks. C Missy Testerman has been teaching at Rogersville City School for over 30 years. But for the past few years, she’s been teaching more children who weren’t born in the local community. Some of the children are from Mexico and Honduras, and others are from India, China, and some other nations. To teach English to non-native speakers, Testerman always starts small, grouping the vocabulary into categories(类别) such as animals, directions, or food to help them learn new words. Then she organizes role-playing exercises, allowing her students to practice what they have learned in real context. Testerman also helps her students get a taste of the local culture, introducing them to the customs, traditions, and social practices of the community. What Testerman has learned from her job is that, besides helping newcomer students learn English, it’s important to help them fit in socially. “I try to make sure that my students understand local culture and take part in sports and other community activities, because in this way, local people will accept them more easily,” Testerman says. At the same time, Testerman doesn’t want her students to lose their mother languages. She believes in the importance of cultural pride. “I encourage my students to be proud of their roots and to share their own languages and traditions with their classmates,” she says. “This not only improves our classroom environment but also fosters(促进) respect and understanding among all students.” Last year, Testerman’s love for her students and her work as a teacher of English earned her the title of Tennessee’s 2023 Teacher of the Year. This year, the Council of Chief State School Officers selected her as one of four finalists for National Teacher of the Year. “It’s an amazing feeling,” she says. “But I’m still a little confused about how and why, because there are so many good teachers in my state and community who put their heart into their work. To be named as a finalist is just unbelievable to me.” 28. What is paragraph two mainly about? A. The teaching methods of Testerman. B. The importance of practical teaching. C. The learning preferences of the students. D. The reasons for teaching non-native speakers. 29. What does Testerman help her students do besides English learning? A. Get into the habit of working out. B. Get used to the new environment. C. Develop a strong sense of pride in their class. D. Improve their performance in other subjects. 30. How does Testerman feel about being selected as a finalist for National Teacher of the Year? A. Surprised. B. Proud. C. Excited. D. Nervous. 31. Which of the following words can best describe Testerman? A. Strict and patient. B. Humorous and pleasant. C. Confident and creative. D. Caring and hard-working. D Researchers have recently discovered that gut bacteria(肠道细菌) that grow within our body help the brain build important social skills. According to a paper published in PLOS Biology in November，zebra fish were used as research subjects to test how a lack of bacteria could affect social skills.Zebra fish are social animals as even 2-week-old fish start to hang out in groups of four to twelve. The experiment started with making a group of fish “bacteria-free” through their diet.The other group were injected with a healthy mix of gut bacteria after they were hatched. “About 15 days later, the second group began swimming in groups while the bacteria-free group shockingly didn’t ” Judith Eisen，a co-author of the new research，said to Quanta Magazine. The team then examined the fish’s brains, discovering obvious differences between the two groups. The ones who lacked the gut bacteria had more interconnections among the neurons(神经元) in their brains in charge of social behavior, and social neurons were seen to have overgrown.This made the fish more cautious in social situations. Scientists said that the bacteria might release a special chemical that crosses the blood-brain barrier to reach the brain directly. Although the experiments were only on fish, the findings can theoretically be applied to humans. The team wishes to explore how gut bacteria affect the human brain in the future, which may lead to solutions to mental health problems. Perhaps many people who claim that they have “social phobia(社交恐惧症)” can blame their guts. However，social phobia, or social anxiety disorder, can be a serious illness if overlooked. According to the National Health Service in the UK, it is more than shyness but instead a constant fear of social situations. Patients may experience panic attacks which are an overwhelming fear and anxiety that last for a few minutes. 32. What does the research focus on? A. The growth of gut bacteria. B. The way zebra fish build social skills. C. The influencing factors of social behavior. D. The link between gut bacteria and social behavior. 33. What was found in the experiment? A. The two groups of zebra fish became different in size. B. The bacteria-free zebra fish swam in groups. C. The zebra fish injected with gut bacteria were quieter. D. The zebra fish with gut bacteria swam in groups. 34. How do scientists feel about their findings? A. Positive. B. Disappointed. C. Doubtful. D. Worried. 35. Which is true about “social phobia” according to the last paragraph? A. It will result in gut problems. B. It is a serious illness. C. It may cause panic. D. It is all about shyness. 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。 Improving your family life can help make your family members closer and prevent conflicts from getting in the way of everyone’s happiness. 36 Talk to your family members at the end of the day. 37 In this way，they can understand you and generally know what’s going on in your life.
