Last term, we needed to do a project, and later we could bring it home. I worked very hard on mine. When it was finally finished, I felt a little proud, but I was more worried. What if others ____14____ at me? What if they thought my project looked silly? “Should I really let others see this?” I asked myself. Usually, I would hide it in my backpack so no one would laugh at me. However, this project was so big that I had to carry it by hand. And I tried to hide it ____15____ behind my body. Then something unexpected happened. While I was putting on my jacket, I heard a girl behind me whisper (小声说) to her friend, “Wow, that project looks really cool! How well he made it!” Her voice was full of ____16____. I froze for a second. “Did she really say that?” I thought. I didn’t even turn around, but I could feel my face getting warm. A smile appeared on my face. For the first time, I felt like someone ____17____ me in a positive way. That moment gave me ____18____. I decided not to hide my project anymore. Instead, I walked out of the school, holding it high. My best friend Winnie noticed that and asked, “Why are you smiling like that?” I answered, “Because today someone thought my work was cool.” It was just one simple compliment, but it ____19____ something inside me. From then on, I wasn’t so afraid to show people my drawings or other things I created. Of course, it didn’t make all my problems disappear, but it gave me hope.

As Erica listened to Ms. Lane, she held her best friend Lisa’s hand, and the class moved forward in one big group. Their first stop in the aquarium was to see the penguins. Lisa was so excited that she ran right up to the glass. Erica noticed that some of the penguins walked together. Others had little baby penguins by their side. “Why do some of those penguins stay together?” Erica asked Ms. Lane. “Well, some penguins stay together to keep each other warm and safe,” explained Ms. Lane. “By using some signals like we do, they let other penguins know if there is danger, while others take care of their babies. Without the group, the babies would get lost or go hungry.” Ms. Lane continued and then asked the class to line back up and find their partners. “Look, we are like the penguins,” said Lisa as she waddled (摇摆地走) next to Erica. The class moved as a group to the next room where there was a big tank filled with fish of different shapes and sizes. “Why are all those little fish swimming together?” asked a boy. “For protection,” said Ms. Lane. “What kind of protection?” Erica asked. “Well, since they are small, if they were on their own, other bigger fish could eat them,” said Ms. Lane. “But when they all swim together, they look like a bigger fish. This way they won’t be seen as a bunch of small fish. Such a group of fish is called a school.” “Like us,” said Lisa. “We are a school because we all stay together, and no one gets lost.” “Some schools of fish stick together in order to survive (生存) in their environment,” added Ms. Lane. Erica watched the fish swim together. She liked that the fish and the penguins helped each other by staying together in a group. 24. During the visit at the aquarium, ________. A. the class was divided into several groups B. Lisa asked a lot of questions about the fish C. students tried to finish their biology homework D. Ms. Lane explained why penguins stayed together 25. According to the passage, the little fish swam together to ________. A. send some signals B. keep each other warm C. protect each other D. feed their baby fish 26. At the end of the school trip, Erica probably learned the power of ________. A. teamwork B. courage C. success D. confidence C Do you think you have a good memory? It is difficult to say exactly what memory is. Even scientists who have been studying memory for many years say that they are still trying to find out what it is. We do know that memory is not just stored in one single place of the brain. Memory is made up of small pieces of information stored all over the brain. The human brain is very small and light. But it needs about 20% of the oxygen (氧气) that our body takes in. We can’t think well if our brain isn’t getting enough oxygen, so always make sure there is enough oxygen in the air when you need to learn or remember something! Why do you forget things sometimes? The main reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough in the beginning. For example, if you meet some new people and right away forget their names, it is because you didn’t record the names when you heard them. No one can remember everything, but everyone can learn how to improve their memory. Here are some ways: ●When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it. This way the new information becomes more memorable. Later on, think about the conversation with your friend. It will help you remember the information. ●Don’t over-train your brain. When you’ve remembered a list of new words, stop studying. It’s better to study a lot of material (材料) for a short time than a small part of material for a long time! But remember: you do have to practice your new words as soon as possible! ●If you have to remember something big, break it down into smaller parts. It’s easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it into four smaller parts:198-756-430-387. ●If you want to remember a piece of information, and you can’t, don’t get angry. Relax when you study! Try to enjoy yourself. You are learning new things every minute. You will remember better if you are happy and relaxed. In short, none of the ways can make your memory 100% perfect, but all of them are helpful. 27. Where is memory stored in your brain? A. In the left brain. B. All over the brain. C. In the right brain. D. In some parts of the brain. 28. Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage? A. We can make our memory 100% perfect. B. We can break the big information into big parts. C. We should spend a lot of time studying a small part of the material. D. We may forget things if we don’t learn them well in the beginning. 29. What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage? A. What the human brain is and where memory is stored. B. When we think well and how we remember everything. C. Why we forget something and how we improve our memory. D. What memory is made up of and who can have a good memory. D When someone has a very different idea from our own, we naturally choose two common ways: we either don’t talk to that person, or we try to tell them that they are wrong. Many of us try to stay away from talks that may cause disagreement. We like to talk with someone with similar ideas. This happens because we usually think that talking to someone who has disagreements will be more unpleasant than it really is. When we do have to talk with people who have different ideas, we usually try to make them change their ideas because we think we are right and try to “win” the argument. And the other side is likely to think the same way, which leads to even more difficult problems to work through. There is a better way to deal with disagreements: using receptive (接纳性的) language, showing that we are truly interested in a new point of view. Research shows that when we seem receptive to others’ different ideas, our arguments sound more believable. In return, receptive language can also make those we disagree with more receptive. It makes us more likable, and others more interested in working together with us. Researchers suggested three tips that can help us improve communicative receptiveness in even the most heated disagreements. Accept the other person’s idea. Say “I understand that ...” or “I believe what you’re saying is ...” to show that you take an active part in the talk and find value and even trust in their ideas. Hedge your statements. When you talk, you usually hold the opinion that you should be strong and confident and express your ideas in a direct, forceful way. But if you show that you are not so sure about your beliefs, your ideas will be more likely to be better received. Express your arguments in an acceptable way. You might say, “Let’s think about the possible benefits of having fewer people working on the project” instead of “We should not add more people to the project.” The second sentence sounds unpleasant, showing that the speaker is not open to the possibility of further discussion. By following these tips in our talk, we will be more likely to have effective communication and bridge the differences. 30. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why people use two common ways when facing disagreements. B. How people communicate to deal with difficult problems. C. How people make others give up their ideas. D. Why people dislike those with different ideas. 31. According to the passage, being receptive when we talk can lead to ________. A. helpful communication B. creative statements C. increased confidence D. divided opinions 32. The words “Hedge your statements” in Paragraph 6 probably mean “________”. A. explain your reasons clearly B. ask your questions politely C. voice your ideas less forcefully D. tell your excuses more directly 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To stress the importance of effective communication. B. To introduce a better way to deal with disagreements. C. To explain the reasons for using receptive language. D. To provide three useful tips to win an argument. 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Fighting Wildfires through Invention Prisha Shroff is a young American inventor. When she was 13 years old, Prisha Shroff saw something that made her want to change the world. She was in the car with her family on the way home, when a big wildfire came in sight and forced them to turn back. “I saw it in person,” she says. “The air pollution was so bad that we were told not to step outside of our car, or outside of our house.” At the same time, Prisha remembered seeing other wildfires on the news. She thought, “This isn’t just a small problem, it’s a worldwide problem.” And she decided to look for a way to help. The chance came when she took part in her middle-school science fair. For her project, Prisha decided to design a system that could discover and put out wildfires. Using AI and satellite imagery (卫星影像), it could know where wildfires would take place and also discover active fires. In 2021, Prisha won the Lemelson Award for Invention. Its goal is to encourage young future scientists, engineers, and inventors to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. “That was the first big prize that I’d gotten,” she says. “It really gave me confidence to find ways to solve big problems, and that I have the ability to make a big difference.” Now 19, Prisha is designing a drone (无人机) to help fire stations. When they discover a wildfire, the drone will fly to the wildfire, put it out, and come back. Prisha is crazy about creating solutions to not only mitigate (缓解) wildfires, but also the effects of climate change in general. “This is our planet, and we should take care of it,” she says. Prisha now runs a special program at her school, and has spoken at the United Nations about the importance of learning certain knowledge and coming up with more inventions to help fight against climate change. To future young inventors, Prisha says the key is to not simply hope something happens, but to actually try hard to make it happen, “You don’t need to change the whole world, but you can still change someone’s whole world,” she says. 34. How old was Prisha Shroff when she saw something that made her want to change the world? _______________________________________________________________________________ 35. When did Prisha Shroff win the Lemelson Award for Invention? _______________________________________________________________________________ 36. How will Prisha’s drone help fire stations? _______________________________________________________________________________ 37. What do you think of Prisha Shroff? Why? (Please give two reasons) _______________________________________________________________________________ 五、文段表达（10分） 38. 根据所给提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的真实校名和姓名。 在成长路上，我们接纳自我、探索新知、勇敢挑战，努力成为更好的自己。某英文网站正在开展以How to become a “better me”为主题的征文活动。假如你是李华，请写一篇英语短文投稿，讲述一次你努力成为更好的自己的经历，并谈谈你的收获。 提示词语：shy, encourage, try, confident, challenge 内容提示： ·What did you do to become a better you? ·What have you learned from the experience?

It is difficult to say exactly what memory is. Even scientists who have been studying memory for many years say that they are still trying to find out what it is. We do know that memory is not just stored in one single place of the brain. Memory is made up of small pieces of information stored all over the brain. The human brain is very small and light. But it needs about 20% of the oxygen (氧气) that our body takes in. We can’t think well if our brain isn’t getting enough oxygen, so always make sure there is enough oxygen in the air when you need to learn or remember something! Why do you forget things sometimes? The main reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough in the beginning. For example, if you meet some new people and right away forget their names, it is because you didn’t record the names when you heard them. No one can remember everything, but everyone can learn how to improve their memory. Here are some ways: ●When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it. This way the new information becomes more memorable. Later on, think about the conversation with your friend. It will help you remember the information. ●Don’t over-train your brain. When you’ve remembered a list of new words, stop studying. It’s better to study a lot of material (材料) for a short time than a small part of material for a long time! But remember: you do have to practice your new words as soon as possible! ●If you have to remember something big, break it down into smaller parts. It’s easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it into four smaller parts:198-756-430-387. ●If you want to remember a piece of information, and you can’t, don’t get angry. Relax when you study! Try to enjoy yourself. You are learning new things every minute. You will remember better if you are happy and relaxed. In short, none of the ways can make your memory 100% perfect, but all of them are helpful. 27. Where is memory stored in your brain? A. In the left brain. B. All over the brain. C. In the right brain. D. In some parts of the brain. 28. Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage? A. We can make our memory 100% perfect. B. We can break the big information into big parts. C. We should spend a lot of time studying a small part of the material. D. We may forget things if we don’t learn them well in the beginning. 29. What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage? A. What the human brain is and where memory is stored. B. When we think well and how we remember everything. C. Why we forget something and how we improve our memory. D. What memory is made up of and who can have a good memory. 【答案】27. B 28. D 29. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍记忆的储存位置、遗忘的原因，并且介绍了几种提升记忆力的方法。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段：Memory is made up of small pieces of information stored all over the brain.，记忆分散储存在整个大脑中。因此应选B。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段：The main reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough in the beginning.，如果一开始没有学好，我们可能会遗忘事物。因此应选D。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。文章先说明遗忘的主要原因，后面重点介绍改善记忆力的几种办法，对应“为什么会遗忘以及如何提升记忆力”。因此应选C。 D When someone has a very different idea from our own, we naturally choose two common ways: we either don’t talk to that person, or we try to tell them that they are wrong. Many of us try to stay away from talks that may cause disagreement. We like to talk with someone with similar ideas. This happens because we usually think that talking to someone who has disagreements will be more unpleasant than it really is. When we do have to talk with people who have different ideas, we usually try to make them change their ideas because we think we are right and try to “win” the argument. And the other side is likely to think the same way, which leads to even more difficult problems to work through. There is a better way to deal with disagreements: using receptive (接纳性的) language, showing that we are truly interested in a new point of view. Research shows that when we seem receptive to others’ different ideas, our arguments sound more believable. In return, receptive language can also make those we disagree with more receptive. It makes us more likable, and others more interested in working together with us. Researchers suggested three tips that can help us improve communicative receptiveness in even the most heated disagreements. Accept the other person’s idea. Say “I understand that ...” or “I believe what you’re saying is ...” to show that you take an active part in the talk and find value and even trust in their ideas. Hedge your statements. When you talk, you usually hold the opinion that you should be strong and confident and express your ideas in a direct, forceful way. But if you show that you are not so sure about your beliefs, your ideas will be more likely to be better received. Express your arguments in an acceptable way. You might say, “Let’s think about the possible benefits of having fewer people working on the project” instead of “We should not add more people to the project.” The second sentence sounds unpleasant, showing that the speaker is not open to the possibility of further discussion. By following these tips in our talk, we will be more likely to have effective communication and bridge the differences. 30. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why people use two common ways when facing disagreements. B. How people communicate to deal with difficult problems. C. How people make others give up their ideas. D. Why people dislike those with different ideas. 31. According to the passage, being receptive when we talk can lead to ________. A. helpful communication B. creative statements C. increased confidence D. divided opinions 32. The words “Hedge your statements” in Paragraph 6 probably mean “________”. A. explain your reasons clearly B. ask your questions politely C. voice your ideas less forcefully D. tell your excuses more directly 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To stress the importance of effective communication. B. To introduce a better way to deal with disagreements. C. To explain the reasons for using receptive language. D. To provide three useful tips to win an argument. 【答案】30. A 31. A 32. C 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，围绕分歧的沟通处理展开，先介绍了人们面对意见分歧时的两种常见应对方式及背后原因，接着提出使用接纳性语言这一更优的分歧处理方式，说明其优势，并给出三个提升沟通接纳性的实用技巧，帮助人们实现有效沟通、弥合分歧。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第2段“This happens because we usually think that talking to someone who has disagreements will be more unpleasant than it really is. When we do have to talk with people who have different ideas, we usually try to make them change their ideas because we think we are right and try to “win” the argument.”可推知，第二段主要解释了人们面对分歧时会采用两种常见应对方式的原因。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第3段“In return, receptive language can also make those we disagree with more receptive. It makes us more likable, and others more interested in working together with us.”可推知，交谈时保持接纳的态度能让对方更愿意配合、更有合作意愿，最终形成有益的沟通。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第6段“When you talk, you usually hold the opinion that you should be strong and confident and express your ideas in a direct, forceful way. But if you show that you are not so sure about your beliefs, your ideas will be more likely to be better received.”可推知，该短语的含义是用不那么强硬绝对的方式表达自己的观点。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第3段“There is a better way to deal with disagreements: using receptive language, showing that we are truly interested in a new point of view.”及后文对三个沟通技巧的介绍可推知，作者写作本文的主要目的是介绍一种处理分歧的更好方法。 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Fighting Wildfires through Invention Prisha Shroff is a young American inventor. When she was 13 years old, Prisha Shroff saw something that made her want to change the world. She was in the car with her family on the way home, when a big wildfire came in sight and forced them to turn back. “I saw it in person,” she says. “The air pollution was so bad that we were told not to step outside of our car, or outside of our house.” At the same time, Prisha remembered seeing other wildfires on the news. She thought, “This isn’t just a small problem, it’s a worldwide problem.” And she decided to look for a way to help. The chance came when she took part in her middle-school science fair. For her project, Prisha decided to design a system that could discover and put out wildfires. Using AI and satellite imagery (卫星影像), it could know where wildfires would take place and also discover active fires. In 2021, Prisha won the Lemelson Award for Invention. Its goal is to encourage young future scientists, engineers, and inventors to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. “That was the first big prize that I’d gotten,” she says. “It really gave me confidence to find ways to solve big problems, and that I have the ability to make a big difference.” Now 19, Prisha is designing a drone (无人机) to help fire stations. When they discover a wildfire, the drone will fly to the wildfire, put it out, and come back. Prisha is crazy about creating solutions to not only mitigate (缓解) wildfires, but also the effects of climate change in general. “This is our planet, and we should take care of it,” she says. Prisha now runs a special program at her school, and has spoken at the United Nations about the importance of learning certain knowledge and coming up with more inventions to help fight against climate change. To future young inventors, Prisha says the key is to not simply hope something happens, but to actually try hard to make it happen, “You don’t need to change the whole world, but you can still change someone’s whole world,” she says. 34.
