A bicycle may be seen by most people as just another vehicle(交通工具), but for many Londoners, cycling is a way of life. According to a UK government survey in 2017, about 570,000 bike journeys were made every day in London. In fact, almost half of the vehicles that pass over London Bridge each day are bikes.
London introduced a public bike-sharing system in 2010. “There can be no doubt that our trusty bicycles have changed that way people get around our great city,” Johnson told The Guardian.
In London, bikes are used for more than just taking short trips to and from the subway. Wherever you want to go in the city, riding a bike is usually the quickest and easiest choice. And it’s not just shared bikes that the government is encouraging people to ride. In many companies across the UK, the UK government’s Cycle to Work plan allows workers to buy a brand new bike without having to pay any tax(税). This means that it’s common to see many people cycling to and from work, and some employers even provide showers in the workplaces for their workers. More importantly, a cycle-friendly boss may let you off for being late if you ride a bike to work.
Not only is it great for the environment and our body, cycling is also good for the mind. According to National Geographic, “Bike riding can improve people’s happiness.”
24. What’s the writer’s purpose by listing numbers in the first paragraph
A. To compare bikes with other vehicles.
B. To introduce bike journeys in London.
C. To ask people to cycle as a way of life.
D. To show Londoners ’ preference for cycling.
25. What’s Johnson’s attitude towards the bike-sharing system in London
A. Unconcerned. B. Worried. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
26. Cyclists in London might enjoy the following except .
高一英语学科 试题 第 3 页（共 8 页）
A. tax-free bikes
B. bike-sharing services
C. shorter working hours
D. showers in workplaces
27. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. London’s Cycle to Work project.
B. London's public bike-sharing system.
C. Cycling as a healthy way of life in London.
D. Reasons for cycling’s popularity in London.

Will printed newspapers disappear one day It’s quite possible. Here are some reasons.
First of all, printed newspapers aren’t the only way to get information. You can find the information on the Internet. Besides, you can read a lot of information online for free, which makes the Internet even more attractive.
Lots of people are becoming Internet users, and most of Internet users read news online. For example, I usually get new information about events that happen in the world by reading short messages on Twitter. As far as I know, students in our university hardly read newspapers. One can argue that older generations may have been used to reading printed newspapers and do not want to change anything, but research proves the opposite. According to a study, the number of Internet users between the ages of 70 and 75 has increased from 26% to 45% within four years.
Where do newspapers get their money The answer is “advertisers” . But will advertisers continue to put ads in printed newspapers that are unlikely to be popular with the public It is unwise to print ads in a newspaper, especially when you have a lot of other opportunities. Online advertisements are becoming more and more prevalent. After all, it is easier to track how many clicks have been made on this link than to find out how many people have actually read a newspaper and paid attention to advertisements.
Moreover, printed newspapers have some effects on our environment. Tons of wood are needed to produce the papers, and lots of electricity and fuel can be used to transport them.
28. What does the author want to show by mentioning the study in Paragraph 3
A. Printed newspapers are losing their readers.
B. Old people have difficulty accepting new things.
C. Printed newspapers are the main source of news for people.
D. Old people enjoy the feeling of reading a printed newspaper.
29. What does the underlined word “prevalent” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Interesting. B. Expensive. C. Popular. D. Confusing.
30. What can we infer about printed newspapers from the last paragraph
A. They have great advantages.
B. They are important to people.
C. They are a cheap way to get news.
D. They are not environmentally-friendly.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. Why printed newspapers may disappear.
B. How the Internet changes people’s way of reading.
C. How printed newspapers influence people’s lifestyles.
D. Why the Internet is more popular than printed newspapers.

A new study found that the most well-liked students among their classmates are those who studied well and were helpful and kind. On the other hand, the classmates they considered the most popular were sometimes seen as mean and aggressive( 好斗的). The study can provide information for educators who want to understand their students ’ experiences and learn how to encourage positive behavior.
For the study, Nicole Brass worked with colleagues at the University of Michigan and surveyed more than 500 middle school students. The students were asked who they thought were the most well-liked among their classmates and who they thought were the most popular. And they were also asked what behavior made their classmates well-liked or popular. About half of the students were together as classmates at the same school since kindergarten( 幼 儿 园 ), while the other half attended a new middle
school elsewhere after kindergarten. The two groups of students liked the same type of classmates. “The kids that the two groups say they like a lot are those who try hard at school and are always nice,” Brass says.
However, when it came to the kids considered as popular, there was a huge difference between the two groups. Those students who had been together since kindergarten reported the most popular students were also kind and helpful, while the students who attended a new middle school reported the most popular students tended to be mean and aggressive. This suggests that behavior that is not positive can result in popularity in the short term before students get to know one another well.
“We often think about how friends matter a lot, but there are other factors affecting popularity. We want to discover some of these influences for anybody who works with middle school students,” Brass says. The role social media plays in who is popular and who is well-liked among middle school students was not evaluated in the recent research, but it’s an area that Brass hopes to study in the future. She believes this area has been very important in the pandemic.
32. How was the study carried out
A. By surveying the behaviors of pupils.
B. By collecting teachers ’ opinions of students.
C. By interviewing different groups of students.
D. By observing students ’ behavior in a classroom.
33. What does the result of the study tell us
A. Kind and helpful students are less welcome among old classmates.
B. Kind and helpful students can influence mean and aggressive students.
C. Mean and aggressive students easily win popularity among new students.
D. Mean and aggressive students have never been popular since kindergarten.
34. Which group might benefit greatly from the study
A. Parents. B. Doctors. C. Scientists. D. Teachers. 35. What does the underlined phrase “this area” in the last paragraph refer to
A. The practical use of the result of the new study.
B. The role social media plays in students ’popularity.
C. The effect of students ’behavior on their popularity.
D. The influences for whoever works with middle school students.
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。 Every time we move to a new place, we’re faced with the challenge of making new friends.
Connecting with a community is important to your sense of belonging, but it may take three to six months to finally make new friends, or even longer. 36 .
高一英语学科 试题 第 5 页（共 8 页）
Get the word out
Tell your friends, family and co-workers that you’re moving and looking to meet new people. Make sure to communicate what kind of connections you’re looking for, like someone to show you around town. Use this time to do some research. Look up if your favourite coffee shop has branches in your new neighborhood. 37 . These groups, like volunteer organizations, can offer you a sense of familiarity.
Add more routine(惯例) to your day
Setting time aside for activities, communities or places you love can help you feel more at home. Do you go on a run every morning Try running at the same park for a week. Or go back to that restaurant around the block at least once a month. 38 . By doing the same things, you’re seeing the same faces and you will become less shy to ask a question because you see them all the time.
Explore interest groups
39 . Nowadays, you can find most of them online — for food, sports, or religion, just to name a few. You could also use your move as an opportunity to try things that you’ve been eager to try for years. That way, you feel connected to the city with the good memory of you excitedly exploring something new.
40
You don’t have to push yourself to make friends within weeks. Try to focus on being connected in the moment. When you’re new in town, you may feel shy or even frightened to share your true self. But you’ll find your people more quickly if you devote yourself into the things that you are interested. Laying that up is one way to really attract people with same interests, and soon you will find yourself connected.
A. Reconnect with old friends
B. Focus on the connection, not the friendship
C. And here are some tips on making friends anywhere we go.
D. You can also be more intentional about making new connections.
E. There’s also a good chance you’ll find similar community groups.
F. Group settings like interest are also helpful for meeting new people.
G. These acts seem small, but are of great importance in making connections.

Dear Amy,
Sorry to learn that you are in a dilemma of whether to quit the school dance club due to the heavy school work. I can relate because I’ve been there before, and here are my opinions.
Being part of a dance club can offer numerous benefits. It not only provides an outlet for stress but also promotes physical fitness. However, it is important to find a balance between study and extracurricular activities. It might be helpful to communicate with your teachers about your concerns as they can offer possible solutions. Besides, why not manage your time effectively by making a workable schedule
I’m sure you can find a solution that works best for you. Keep me informed of any follow-up.
Yours, Li Hua

M: Yes. I wonder if it is possible to get there by subway. (11) It’s seldom late to take the subway. W: I’m pretty sure you can, but you’ll have to walk for about 10 minutes after you get off.
M: That’s okay. It will be good exercise for me. The tomatoes you gave me last Friday were delicious. Did you buy them at the market
W: Yes. They’re called Black Tomato. Are you going to pick some up Can you get some for me M: Yes, sure thing. We live next to each other. (12) I’ll bring some to my office too.
W: Thank you very much.
Black Tomato 黑番茄，是茄科、番茄属植物，因其果色和果实均为红黑色而得名。

Do you like pasta and pizza Italian food culture appears in front of us in its full diversity. (17) An interesting fact is that cooking differs from each other in various parts of Italy.
The northern region has always been famous for animal farming. People there mainly have butter, milk and meat. (18) Moreover, meat is usually served in large pieces. And if cut into small pieces, it is used to make sauce. The South provides a good harvest of fruits and vegetables. Herbs are grown there, which are then added to food.
On average, a dinner in Italy, not in the most expensive restaurant for two people with wine, will cost up to 50 euros. There are also other choices: takeaway food or “tourist menu” — an Italian business lunch, which costs around 20 euros. The price is reasonable. It includes a main dish, a salad, a dessert and a drink. (19)
And, of course, one more thing we have to mention, Italian coffee. (20) Believe me, even in an ordinary café in any city of Italy, coffee will be better than that in many places around the world. You can’t miss it.
