（22-23高一下·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中）Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper — a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads
them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.

（22-23高一下·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中）Barditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was wheeled to the Park.
Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans (嘟囔声) when Ms. Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.
Then Ms. Yates started to speak:
“I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth your children, in my imagination.”
Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:
“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path.”
“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”
There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar. Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

（22-23高一下·重庆·期中）Falling on March 20, Spring Equinox, or Chunfen is the fourth of the Twenty-four Solar Terms following Awakening of Insects (惊蛰) about half a month ago. On Chunfen, the day and night balance across the globe. Usually, Chinese people do farm work based on the solar terms (节气). However, Chunfen is one of the few solar terms that has little to do with agriculture. What people often do is to
enjoy the good weather by taking part in various activities in different places to celebrate Chunfen. One of the most popular is going outdoors to fly kites.
Yang Liping, a kite maker, who is good at making swallow-shaped kites, a typical type of kite in Beijing said Chunfen is the best time to fly them.

But nowadays it’s hard to find a place without high buildings to fly kites in cities,” says Yang Liping, adding that the kites he made are showed in people’s homes as a decoration instead of being flown.
“Sometimes, I can see the elderly in parks fly kites. Young people and children maybe are attracted by entertainment programs on their mobile phones, ” jokes Yang. “My students are interested in making kites. However, they don’t have a good site to fly them and the pandemic held back their passion to go outdoors,” says Yang.
Apart from flying kites outside, the Chinese also have the tradition to cook particular vegetables on Chunfen. People cook newly-springing vegetables to welcome a season of renewal and rebirth.

（22-23高一下·广东·期中）Social distancing is not a new concept in the natural world, where infectious (传染) diseases are commonplace. Through specialized senses animals can discover certain diseases and change their behavior to avoid getting ill.
In 1966, while studying chimps (猩猩) in a Tanzanian national park, zoologist Jane Goodall observed a chimp named McGregor who had caught a highly infectious virus. His fellow chimps attacked him and threw him out of the group. In one instance, McGregor got close to chimps in a tree. He reached out a hand in greeting, but the others moved away without a backward glance.
“For a full two minutes, old McGregor sat still, staring after them,” Goodall notes in her 1971 book In the Shadow of Man. “It’s really not that different to how some societies react today to such a misfortune.”
Not all animals are so aggressive toward their sick neighbors. Sometimes it’s as simple as avoiding those who may infect you.
When Kiesecker, a lead scientist in America, studied American bullfrog in the late 1990s, he found that bullfrogs could not only discover a deadly smell of infection in other bullfrogs, but healthy members actively avoided those that were sick. Bullfrogs depend on chemicals signals to determine who is sick or not.
Caribbean lobsters also shun diseased members of their community, well before they become infectious. It takes about eight weeks for lobsters infected with the deadly virus Panulirus argus mininuceovirus to become dangerous to others. Normally social animals, lobsters begin keeping away from the diseased as early as four weeks after infection - once the lobsters can smell certain chemicals released by sick individuals.
Overall, it’s important to note that, unlike us, animals don’t realize if they stay home, they might actually reduce the infection rate,” Kiesecker explains. “As humans, we have that ability. It’s a big difference.”
26．What can we learn about the chimps from Goodall’s observation
A．They kept a distance from one another.
B．They became aggressive when infected.
C．The infected avoided contact with others.
D．The infected were forced to leave the group.
27．What does the underlined word “shun” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A．Avoid. B．Cure.
C．Break away from. D．Get along with.
28．How are humans different from animals according to Kiesecker
A．Humans are more sensitive to virus.
B．Humans are less likely to get infected.
C．Humans treat infectious diseases in a wiser way.
D．Humans can discover chemical signals more quickly.
29．Which might be the best title for the text
A．Help Me Out. B．Leave Me Alone.
C．Stay Away From Us. D．Stay Home Stay Healthy.
（22-23高一下·广东·期中）Buildings, pollution, poor soil, insects, and even car crashes can add to tree loss. However, between 2016 and 2021, the city of Seattle in Washington state was reported to have lost about 255 hectares of tree covering, for which climate change was blamed. Then came the driest summer on Seattle’s record books in 2022. The drier conditions and hotter temperatures have left many trees with brown leaves, naked branches, and extreme seeding. These are all signs of tree stress.
According to Nicholas Johnson, a tree expert for Seattle City Parks, if this warming climate continues we are going to have a lot of trees die. Just like people, under the heat trees get weak.
Researchers from France and Australia studied the effect of hotter temperatures and less rain on more than 3,100 trees and plants in 164 cities across 78 countries. They found about half the trees in the cities were experiencing climate conditions beyond their limits. They also found that by 2050 nearly all trees planted in Australian cities will not survive.
It’s not the gradual change but these extreme swings of too much water, too little water, too much wind, and terrible storms that are going to cause these rapid changes. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed about 10 percent of the trees in New Orleans, Louisiana. And in 2021, Hurricane Ida uprooted many new tree plantings.
To settle the problem of tree loss, non-native trees, have been brought to cities for some time. In the city of Bellevue, Washington, experts are growing different kinds of trees specifically for climate change. On city grounds, they are planting baby giant sequoias, just a few centimeters tall. The giant sequoias are not native to the Pacific Northwest area. But the trees can deal with the lack of rain and insects. Once these trees are established, they grow incredibly fast. Having many different kinds and ages of trees is important to keeping urban forests alive.
“Life always finds a way,” said Nicholas Johnson. “And in Seattle, people are helping life find a way.”
30．What is the first paragraph mainly about
A．Natural reasons for tree loss. B．The terrible climate in Seattle in recent years.
C．The bad condition of trees in Seattle. D．The signs of tree stress.
31．How do tree experts solve the problem of tree death
A．By improving planting methods. B．By changing the kinds of trees.
C．By treating trees as babies. D．By improving the soil quality.
32．Which is Nicholas Johnson’s attitude to the future of trees in cities
A．Cautious B．Doubtful C．Uninterested D．Optimistic
（22-23高一下·安徽合肥·期中）In high school, I was on the basketball team. We actually won the state championship. But, I didn’t really play much. But I loved being a part of the team. I was a super fan and I had front row tickets to every game.
Every day after practice, I was the only one who showered in the locker rooms. The reason why I liked showering in the locker rooms was that it saved time. I just needed to throw my dirty clothes back into my gym locker and then change back into my clean clothes I wore from school and then I could go straight home or go out with my friends.
The water was freezing cold. And that’s why I was the only one who showered in these locker rooms. And at the time, I didn’t know why I was doing it. The cold water was hard to bear. I would jump up and down and make strange noises. And all my teammates could see me. I was just a young 17-year old who didn’t mind being watched. I remember people asking me why I did it and I’d tell them that these cold showers helped build my character.
What I have learned is how to deal with discomfort, hardship and so on. It taught me to get used to discomforts, because when your life becomes too comfortable, you reach a point of no return. It also helped me fight through any pain or hardship. And above all, cold showers have helped me learn to face discomfort bravely, so I can get through anything and get it done.
The habits you build now are going to determine your future. How successful do you want to be How much can you handle What are you doing every day that is going to help you achieve your goals no matter what discomfort or troubles it brings

（22-23高一下·黑龙江·期中）From the heartland to urban parks, there was a time when baseball was the only game in the summer holidays. But with competition from other sports like soccer, baseball is not as prevalent as it used to be. However, the baseball field is still a place for young boys to prove themselves.
Tim was one of those boys. His build was slight and unfinished. Some bays had the makings of athletic ability through every growth phase. Tim seemed to be growing in odd ways: long arms and legs, thin shoulders, and no meat on his bones. But he loved baseball. Although strikeouts (三振出局) piled up in the recording sheets, Tim continued. He knew his body didn’t respond to dreams and wishes, but his desire was always there.
Tim practiced his swing every day, and every strikeout brought two things to the little boy: determination and some tears that Tim quickly wiped away before returning to the baseball field. His teammates encouraged him. His coach worked with him. Even the opposing teams held their breath, wishing for his hitting, just one hit for the boy who seemed to deserve it more than any other 10-year-old kid in the world.
What teammates and parents and even the coach never saw was a gray van (小型货车) that pulled up each game in the parking lot. Inside was Tim’s father, too weak from advancing cancer to get out of the van. It was a tough assignment for a father to watch his kid strike out, but for Tim’s father, he believed success was made out of sweat, tears, and effort instead of results. That was also what he expected Tim to understand and do accordingly (因此).
At the end of the season, Tim stood on the field and was as determined as ever. He did his best, but ended up missing the chance to advance. When the game was over, Tim ran straight into the gray van and into the arms of his father, who witnessed his son’s every effort and was proud of him. Sometimes success really means more than the result.
36．Which can replace the underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 1
A．Challenging. B．Disappointing.
C．Competitive. D．Popular.
37．What does the way Tim’s team and opponents (对手) treated him suggest

B．He was an inspiring father.
C．His expectations of Tim were beyond Tim’s ability.
D．His distant watching was to avoid a mental burden on Tim.

C．One false step makes a great difference. D．Easier said than done.
（22-23高一下·江苏徐州·期中）When I was 10 years old, I asked a neighborhood kid who was older than me, “Which city is further west: Reno. Nev., or Los Angeles ” The correct answer is Reno. Nevada. But he was convinced it was the other way around.
He was so convinced that Los Angeles was west of Reno that he was willing to bet me two dollars. So I went into the house to get my Rand McNally Map. The kid looked at the map and said. “The map is drawn funny.” It wasn’t. Was his argument that the map didn’t preserve east, west, north and south What kind of map would that be I showed him if you trace down the 120-degree west line of longitude (经度)--which runs almost directly through Reno, Nev. — you end up in the Pacific Ocean, somewhere west of Los Angeles.
He replied that lines of longitude don’t cross the ocean.
What I told him that the lines of longitude were there to show how far west or east some location was, regardless of whether it was on land or on sea.
There was one problem, however. He was bigger than me.
I drew a number of conclusions from this story.
There is such a thing as truth, but we often tend to ignore it. Also, it’s not just thinking something that makes it true. Truth is not relative. It’s not subjective. It may be hidden. People may wish to ignore it. But there is such a thing as truth and pursuit (追求)of truth: trying to figure out what has really happened, trying to figure out how things really are.
Almost 15 years ago, I came across a story about an innocent man, a man who had been sentenced to death in the Huntsville, Texas, electric chair. And through hard work and luck, I was able to make the movie The Thin Blue Line and to help get him out of prison.
What kept me going was the belief that there had to be answers to the questions. “Did he do it ” “Was he guilty or innocent ”“If he didn’t do it, who did ”and that I could find an answer to these questions through investigating (调查).
It’s not that we find truth with big “T”. We investigate and sometimes we find things out and sometimes
don’t. There’s no way to know in advance. It’s just that we have to go ahead as though there are answers to questions. We must go ahead as though, in principle, we can find things out — even if we can’t. The alternative is unacceptable.
I will never know whether the neighborhood kid really didn’t understand the logic of my argument about Reno. Nev. Or whether he understood it completely and just didn’t want to admit it. Or whether he understood it and just didn’t want to admit it. Or whether he understood it and just didn’t want to pay up. I’ll never know.
All I know is I never got my two dollars.
40．Why does the author tell the story of the neighborhood boy
A．To recall his good old days. B．To introduce the topic of finding truth.
C．To show his good sense of direction. D．To stress the importance of geography.
41．Why did the boy say “The map is drawn funny.” in Paragraph 2
A．Because he had fun reading maps. B．Because there were some mistakes in the map.
C．Because the map was drawn in a different way. D．Because he refused to admit his mistake.
42．What encouraged the author to make the movie The Thin blue Line
A．His belief in finding answers. B．His willingness to help.
C．His devotion to films. D．His mercy for the innocent man.
43．What can we learn from the passage
A．Great minds think alike. B．It’s never too late to learn.
C．Honesty is the best policy. D．Truth never fears investigation.
（22-23高一下·江苏徐州·期中）The Global Heritage Fund, a nonprofit organization, aims to protect places of cultural importance in developing countries for the reasons that these countries often have few resources to protect such places and that other major cultural organizations often pay more attention to protecting places in developed countries. For example, UNESCO has 45 World Heritage places in Italy, 42 in Spain, but Peru, famous for its ancient Incan buildings, has only 9 World Heritage places. Guatemala has only 3.
The fund recently released a list of cultural treasures in the developing world that are in danger of disappearing. These places are important because they are records of our human civilization. Globalization has created an international culture that is about sameness. But the endangered places are trying to protect the rich differences of human culture throughout history.
One of the fund’s current projects is in Guatemala’s (危地马拉) Mirador Basin, which contains several important examples of ancient Mayan settlements. The buildings are surrounded by forests.
Centuries of tree growth has covered the pyramids and religious buildings, which provides some of the finest
examples of the early part of the Mayan civilization (玛雅文明). But this area is in danger from robbers and people cutting trees illegally. Also, over the past ten years, over 70% of the natural environment in the area has been destroyed by fires.
The fund has 3 goals for its Mirador project. One is helping the government obtain UNESCO recognition. Another is establishing permanent protection for the area. And the third is working to make the area a sustainable protected area within 10 years.
To meet these goals, money from the fund will go toward restoring the buildings of El Mirador and mapping and exploring newly discovered buildings. The fund is also paying to train local guides on how to stop theft and illegal tree-cutting. Educational programs are helping to give people in the area the skills they need to have jobs that do not endanger this protected area.
The Global Heritage Fund says we have a duty to the people of the past, present and future to make sure we do not lose these examples of human history. Every country, organization and individual can play a role in helping to protect this rich history.
44．Why does the Global Heritage Fund focus on protecting cultural places in developing countries
A．They are fascinating and dangerous. B．They are more important to mankind.
C．They are attractive to tourists. D．They are poor and often ignored.
45．Why is protecting the endangered places important in the time of globalization
A．Because the rich differences of human culture should be preserved.
B．Because the developing world needs them to make money.
C．Because they can help speed up the process of globalization.
D．Because we should create an international culture about sameness.
46．What does the Mirador project mainly want to achieve

（22-23高一下·河北石家庄·期中）If you really want a taste of the everyday swing of Dutch life, a bike tour through Amsterdam is the way to go.
What is included in an Amsterdam bike tour
The bicycle is of course provided and included in the price of the tour. Some tours offer coffee and tea after
the tour finishes. Every tour especially has its own theme and route. You can compare them by visiting webpages dedicated to a particular tour.
A tour itself is a beautiful experience. Amsterdam’s architecture, markets, bridges, plazas and street atmosphere are memorable and comfortable to see from a bike seat. See them like most citizens of Amsterdam do.
Amsterdam bicycle tour basics
These tours are usually between one and two hours long. They are guided by friendly and knowledgeable tour guides who are well capable in Amsterdam information. What’s more, the tour guides usually know many languages and are used to overcoming language barriers(障碍).
Important during the bicycle tour of Amsterdam
Please don’t become so Dutch that you ignore( 忽视) the traffic laws. It is a fact that some Amsterdammers often cross a street or a bridge when they feel like doing it. That is why staying alert (警惕的) and a little bit of biking experience can help you to go through the small city streets during an Amsterdam bike tour. Also, unless you are 100% sure that the weather will be sunny, you’d better bring a jacket. When you start moving on the bike, the wet Amsterdam’s air can get quite cold.

（22-23高一下·河南·期中）Nature has inspired many of the most fascinating designs around us, including those in architecture. Today, architects continue to explore ways to capture the beauty of natural forms, to mimic(模拟)the way nature works or even to make natural organisms part of a building.
Art Science Museum, Singapore
People whose interest is exploring the relationship between art and science will enjoy Singapore’s Art Science Museum. The building was designed to show the connection between nature and the modern city environment in which it sits. Shaped to resemble a lotus flower, it appears to float above the waterfront promenade(滨海步道)and the water that surrounds it. Its roof collects rainwater and channels it 35 meters down to
a waterfall in the centre of the space. The water is then recycled through the building’s plumbing system. The building so truly captures the beauty of natural forms.
The Algae House, Hamburg
The world’s first algae-powered building is in Hamburg, Germany. The surface of the apartment building is covered in panels that contain algae(水藻). In bright sunshine, they grow faster and provide shade. The panels also capture heat from the sun and convert it into energy that powers the building. And that’s not all—the algae inside the panels can be harvested and used to produce fuel. The building therefore not only responds to its environment and uses less energy, but also reduces damage to the environment by generating its own renewable energy.
Creating building such as these enables us to live in closer harmony with our environment. To meet the needs of today while protecting the world of tomorrow may be a challenge, but even the simplest organisms can help teach us how to achieve this.
51．Which of the following is NOT the reason why architects continue to explore nature
A．To make natural organisms alive. B．To make nature part of architecture.
C．To capture the beauty of nature. D．To imitate the way nature works.
52．How can the Algae House reduce damage to the environment
A．By using less energy. B．By providing shade for people
C．By producing its own renewable energy. D．By capturing heat from the sun.
53．Where would you most likely find the passage

（22-23高一下·四川凉山·期中）The current Broadway season is getting a surprise ending: Oscar Isaac and Rachel Brosnahan will bring to America’s most visible theater district a long-overlooked Lorraine Hansberry play, The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window.
The two stars led a production of the play at the BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) that closed on March 24. Now they plan an unexpected and unusually quick move to Manhattan: The show will start previews April 25 and open on April 27, the final date on which plays and musicals can open and still be qualified for this year’s Tony Awards.
“The speed with which these producers are acting is completely admirable,” said the director Anne Kauffman. She first encountered the play as an undergraduate. “It just feels like it’s beyond my wildest dreams, because I’ve been thinking about the play for so many years.”
The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window, which followed the enormous success of A Raisin in the Sun, is about a couple living in Greenwich Village in the 1960s and facing challenges to both their marriage and their political
ideals. Hansberry, died in 1965, just two days after the original “Brustein” production closed on Broadway, and the play has long been overshadowed by “Raisin”.
The revival received mixed reviews. No matter: Audiences flocked (蜂拥) to BAM, where the seven-week run, in the 836-seat Harvey Theater, was 98 percent sold out, according to BAM’s departing artistic director David Binder.
The Broadway transfer was made possible by the sudden failure of another show, Room, which was scheduled to open this month, but fell apart for lack of necessary costs. The Hansberry play will be staged at the James Earl Jones Theater and the Broadway run is scheduled to last just 10 weeks.
54．What do we know about The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window
A．It will be staged at the BAM. B．It will be directed by Oscar Isaac.
C．It will be on at the end of April. D．It will lead the Broadway season.
55．How does Kauffman feel about the production of the play
A．Thrilled. B．Anxious. C．Encouraged. D．Unconcerned.
56．Why was the Broadway transfer possible
A．Necessary costs were lacked. B．Another scheduled show failed.
C．The play received mixed reviews. D．Audiences flocked to the theater.
57．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A．Arts. B．People. C．Business. D．Opinion.
（22-23高一下·四川凉山·期中）Growing up in the small town of Palmerston, Ontario, I had a dream: to work in television. However, it sounded like a dream that could never come true.
Thankfully, my parents had raised me to have a lot of confidence. With their help and encouragement, I applied to the radio and television arts program at Ryerson in Toronto. After graduating, I worked for Bell Canada for a while, writing and producing commercials. I soon decided, however, that what I really wanted was to be on camera.
I went to the CBC and CTV and applied for a job. They both turned me down because I didn’t have any experience. Luckily, Global Television had just started broadcasting in Canada that year. I found out the president was named Mr. Slaight and called him. I said, “I’ve heard that your studio facilities are amazing. I could come at eleven o’clock on Tuesday or eleven o’clock on Wednesday for a tour. What would suit you better ” He stuttered a bit, then picked a day. When I hung up, I was scared but ecstatic.
On the appointed day, I arrived at the studio. When we sat down, he looked at me and said, “What do you want ” He sounded a little angry and frustrated — but very curious. “All I want is a chance,” I said. “If something
on camera comes up at Global — I don’t care what — I want a chance to audition. That’s all I’m asking.”
Three months later, his secretary called and asked me to audition for a new game show. When I arrived at the station, I went right into an audition for a new show called Wintario. The following day, I was handed an airline ticket to Sault Ste. Marie to do the very first Wintario show.
From Wintario, everything happened for me. I hosted the National Santa Claus Parade for fifteen years. I did hundreds of television commercials, a number of movies, training videos, and travel shows. And everything came from finding the courage back in 1975 to make that one phone call.

（22-23高一下·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中）The snow was falling and the roads had become dangerous. The schools were dismissed early, but much to my surprise, my appointment wasn’t canceled. So I went, feeling especially heroic. As far as I could see, I was risking my life to keep my word. Snow or no snow, I would be on time for my scheduled donation at the local blood center.
When I got there, I discovered I wasn’t alone. Four more “hero-types” were already lying back in donor chairs with lines attached to their veins (静脉), and machines quietly pumping away to collect their life-saving gifts.
Seeing my fellow donors honoring their own commitments, I realized why I was there. I lay back in my donor chair, ready to make a difference to the life of someone I would never meet.
To be honest, I’d never really thought about why I donate. I just did it. But a few months ago, during one of my regular donations I learned that my blood was specifically for a cancer patient and for a newborn baby—both patients needed what I would give in order to live. I’ve viewed my visits to the blood center differently ever since.
My wife Karen is a donor, too. And more importantly, she has been on the bone marrow list for fifteen years, ever since she signed up to provide bone marrow (骨髓) to a kindergartner with leukemia (白血病). That little girl died before Karen’s bone marrow could help her, but Karen was called again recently. Her test results were still on file, and it turned out she was a potential match for someone else. The caller asked Karen if she would still be willing to become a bone marrow donor. “Yes,” she said and then immediately began answering questions on the pages of paperwork for further testing. It was to race against time.
I wish I could say that this race was won. Unluckily, it wasn’t. The caller later thanked Karen for her participation and asked a few more questions—including whether or not she’d remain on the donor list. “Of course,” Karen answered.
We still keep making appointments. I don’t know whose life my donation may affect. Most likely it will be a stranger, but on someday the person needing blood could be you or me or maybe a loved one. It is worthwhile to take our time to donate. I like the sense of giving.
62．Why was the man going out on such a snowy day
A．He was going to risk his life for fun.
B．He was going to do a heroic deed to show off to others.
C．He was going to give a donation to help others in need.
D．He was going to have an important appointment with his wife.

（22-23高一下·河北石家庄·期中）My wife and I usually don’t keep houseplants. But after I was told I had cancer I wanted to be around some life. When my friend Mitch gave me a lucky bamboo plant in a bowl, we decided to place the plant next to the living room window across from the couch.
I told Hannah I wanted to care for the plant myself. When it didn’t immediately turn yellow or brown or lose all of its leaves, I was pleasantly surprised. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of achievement at a time when I sometimes felt useless. As a doctor, I was used to being the one who provided care, not the one who received it. Watering the plant taught me I couldstill be a caregiver.
Over the next few months, I recovered from surgery and completed the first round of chemotherapy(化疗). Even after I returned to work, I continued to care for the plant. Soon, it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny and lush Both the tree and I were healthy.
Then,mysteriously, it began to show signs of stress. No matter what I did, the leaves kept browning and dropping to the floor. I grew more and more frustrated and uneasy.
“I can’t even care for a simple plant!” I yelled. “I’m failing!“ I couldn’t shake the feeling that the plant had become a symbol of my own health. I realized I had wrongly connected my careful caring for the plant-something over which I had at least some control-with my own survival something over which I had no control.
When my tumor(肿瘤) returned, it would not be because of any failure on my part. As my anxiety decreased, I began to research how to heal the plant. After moving it under a sunny window, we both began to thrive again.
Whenever I look at the tree in its new pot, I think of Mitch and all the people who supported me. If the plant outlives me, I hope it will comfort Hannah and remind her that our large community will continue to care for her after I am gone.
66．How did the author feel about caring for the plart at first
A．Bored. B．Satisfied.
C．Confused. D．Impatient.
67．Why did the author grow anxious about the plant’s falling leaves

（21-22高一下·广东茂名·期中）Bored with your life Dreaming of something different When I feel like that I look up and wonder what life would be like 400 km above my head. That’s where the International Space Station orbits the Earth, with six astronauts who travels into space on board for months at a time.
How do they sleep They spend the night floating in a sleeping bag inside a small separate room on the ceiling. American astronaut Sunita Williams explains: “It’s like a little phone booth but it’s pretty comfortable and it doesn’t matter if I turn over and sleep upside down. I don’t have any feeling in my head that tells me I’m upside down.”
Brushing your teeth in a place where you can’t have a tap or a sink can be a challenge. Can you imagine the mess that running water would make in weightlessness. Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield uses a straw to put a big blob (团) of water from a sealed bag onto an ordinary toothbrush and adds a little toothpaste to clean his teeth-which he has to swallow when he’s done.
Daily exercise is of great importance. The weightlessness makes bones easier to break and muscles lose strength-so spacemen are encouraged to work out for at least two hours a day. The role of spacemen in the International Space Station is to act as lab technicians for scientists back on Earth. So they spend their time preserving their environment and performing and monitoring experiments in a confined (有限的) space about the size of a Boeing 747. Almost every task is carefully planned by mission control-although most astronauts spend their first days losing stuff until they get used to sticking everything they use to the walls.
One of their most valued privileges is the view from “the office”, ruled by that huge blue ball down there, sitting in the darkness of space. Wow! Absolutely breathtaking!
70．The purpose of the first paragraph is to __________.
A．make a comparison B．describe a daily scene
C．draw attention to the topic D．provide a convincing example

A．They don’t feel well if they turn over.
B．They feel as if they are sleeping upside down.

72．Why is daily exercise necessary forastronauts
A．To make them relaxed.
B．To get used to weightlessness.
C．To save energy for their experiments.
D．To strengthen their bones and muscles.
73．What is the best title for the text
