Dear sir,
I am glad to hear that a summer camp about aerospace will be held. It attracts me a lot, and I sincerely hope that I can participate in it.
Here are my ideas for the camp. First, there should be some time to enjoy and admire true spaceships or rockets that have been used or will be used, which can increase our interest. Then I hope you can invite some astronauts to share their experiences with us.
Besides, I hope we can have the chance to experience it in the experimental situation. And it will be better if we can be taught to make some aircraft models and take them as gifts for family and friends.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

So I hurried over to her home. On arriving I gave the money to Mum and asked her to save it in the bank. Mum said she was very proud of me and asked me to go with her because she didn’t know how. I asked how she had done that before. She said actually there was no bank account at all in all her life and she had never been to a bank before.
Knowing that there was no bank account at all, I felt shocked. I just didn’t know how to respond. Mum said seriously that it was not good for the kids to worry about life and she didn’t want us not to feel secure. My tears just burst and stories of these years jumped into my mind one by one… I got to feel how deep the love Mum had been giving us.铁人中学2022级高二上学期期中考试 英语 试题 考试时间： 2023 年 11 月

STEM Summer Programs for High School Students
STEM is a term that stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Here is a list of some of the best STEM summer camps for high school students.
Future Matters Program
It is an eight-week paid summer research experience for high school students. This is a hands-on program for worldwide students interested in going after a career in medical research. Students will attend seminars led by faculty and participate in discussions with peers.
Simons Summer Research
It is a seven-week program located at Stony Brook University. Students will have the opportunity to participate in special workshops, tours and events. They will conclude the program by producing a written research abstract and research poster.
Research Science Institute
It is the first cost-free program of its kind. During this seven-week program, students will dive deeper into the world of science and engineering by experiencing the entire research cycle. In this program, students attend classes conducted by famous professors and prepare oral presentations to present their research.
Program in Math for Young Scientists
This program is a six-week intensive mathematics program designed for students across the globe. Unlike common programs, it offers a great deal of independence for students to choose their own schedules and decide what they want to study. Besides learning, there is also "mandatory (强制) fun time" built into the weekly schedule so that students are able to have non-math related activities.
21. Which program will be summarized with written material

Young trees don't just grow; they develop a personality and learn more about their environment and how they should best behave in it. They also help each other out whenever there's trouble.
Personality, just as among people, varies among trees. Some are anxious, some bold. On the author's land, there are three oak trees growing close together. One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others. Since they all experience the same temperature, the same soil and the same length of day, such variables can't be the explanation. So what's happening Well, this tree is simply more careful than the others. Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more photosynthesis (光合作用) and store more nutrients. However, the longer a tree keeps its leaves, the higher the risk of injury.
Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes. A tree, for example, keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again. This leads to several other conclusions: trees must notice the temperature and the length of the day and be able to save their experiences somewhere. Obviously, trees don't have brains, but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep track of information and experiences.
But trees aren't only clever when it comes to caring for themselves. They also support each other whenever there's trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients. For example, one time the author found a very old tree stump. Its insides had rotted a long time ago to topsoil. But the wood on the outside of the stump was still living. How was this possible Well, the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system, and had been for at least 400 years!
Why do trees do such a thing It's simple: it's better together. Trees need the forest; it protects them from storms, provides the right microclimate and warns them of attacks.
24. Why does the author mention the three oak trees
A. To illustrate trees can learn from experiences.
B. To show trees can make independent decisions.
C. To explain trees are quite supportive to each other.
D. To prove trees have the same personalities as humans.
25. According to the text, which of the following best describes general features of trees
A. Anxious and bold. B. Smart and adventurous.
C. Helpful and well-behaved. D. Adaptable and supportive.
26. What does the underlined phrase "do such a thing" mean
A. Give warnings. B. Offer assistance.
C. Depend on others. D. Provide nutrients.
27. Where does this text most probably come from
A. A public lecture. B. A science book.
C. An experiment report. D. A travel journal.
C
Consumers everywhere are faced with the same dilemma: given limited resources, what sorts of purchases are most likely to produce lasting happiness and satisfaction Recent research has confirmed that experiential purchases tend to produce greater hedonic (享乐的) gains than material purchases.
The reason why experiences improve with time may be because it is possible to think about experiences in a more abstract manner than possessions. For example, if you think back to a fantastic summer from your youth, you might easily remember an abstract sense of warm sunshine and youthful exuberant(生气勃勃), but you’re less likely to remember exactly what you did day-by-day.
Material possessions are harder to think about in an abstract sense. The car you bought is still a car, that great new jacket you picked up cheap is still just a jacket. It’s more likely the experience of that summer has taken on a symbolic meaning that can live longer in your memory than a possession.
Purchasing may have a negative impact on happiness because consumers often buy “joyless” material possessions, resulting in comfort but not pleasure. In general, people adapt to experiences more slowly than to material purchase. This can be seen in both negative and positive purchases: hedonic adaptation would result in a positive experience causing more happiness but a negative experience causing less happiness than the comparable material purchase with the same initial happiness level.
Experience, however, seems to be more resistant to these sorts of unfavourable comparisons. It is because of the unique nature of experience. It’s more difficult to make an unfavourable comparison when there is nothing directly comparable. After all, each of our youthful summers is different.
It’s well established that social comparisons can have a huge effect on how we view what might seem like positive events. One striking example is the finding that people prefer to earn $50,000 a year while everyone else earns $25,000, instead of earning $100,000 themselves and having other people earn $200,000.
A similar effect is seen for possessions. When there are so many flat-screen HD TVs to choose from, it’s easy to make unfavourable comparisons between our choice and the others available.
28. An abstract sense in the passage refers to awareness of something __________.
A. you cannot think about B. you can’ t remember well
C. you cannot understand D. you cannot see or touch
29. If you make an experiential purchase before a material purchase, you may go to__________.
A. a theatre before going to a store
B. an exhibition before going to a park
C. a mall before going to a grocer’s
D. a market before going to a restaurant
30. The example of earnings is given to actually indicate__________.
A. how ridiculous people are B. how people feel content
C. how nearsighted people are D. how people hold prejudice
31. It is implied in the passage that, after their material purchases, people might ______.
A. enjoy their ownership of what they have bought
B. pick every fault in the products they have got
C. regret making a wrong decision to buy the items
D. leave what they’ve purchased untouched at home
D
Based on new analysis, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe. Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear. Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate north.
Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.
According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of today's familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today's world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world. The planet, itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was completely destroyed in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.
Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought. At this point, it doesn't matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. What's more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There is war and threat of war everywhere. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.
However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.
32. What is the major function of Paragraph 1
A. To arouse the readers' concern. B. To introduce the theme.
C. To summarize the whole passage. D. To state how the climate changes.
33. What is the author's purpose in using the examples of earthquakes
A. To show major changes are taking place on the planet.
B. To remind people to prevent future earthquakes.
C. To show the damage earthquakes caused.
D. To tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future.
34. Which of the following is NOT true of the climate change's effects
A. Animals and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.
B. It could lead to the spread of diseases.
C. Current world climate zones could shift and completely disappear.
D. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.
35. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Animals and plants won't die out as long as climate changes slowly.
B. There's enough data for us to predict the future of climate change.
C. The world is getting more unstable because of animal migration.
D. The earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change.

Tons of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they work, believing that music helps improve creativity. But an international study is challenging that viewpoint. (36) .
To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants complete verbal problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room. (37) They found that background music significantly hurt the participants' ability to complete tasks associated with verbal creativity.
The tasks were simple word games. (38) Then, they were asked to find a single word associated with all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while exposed to three different types of music; music with unfamiliar lines, instrumental music, or music with familiar lines.
Dr. McLatchie and his colleagues conclude that music interferes with(干扰) the verbal working memory of the brain. (39) Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly no effect, the researchers believe that was the case because library noises create an environment of steady state that doesn't interrupt concentration.
" (40) Instead, they demonstrate that music, regardless of the presence of its content, consistently interrupts creative performance in insight problem solving," the study reads.
A. And this in turn holds back creativity.
B. It has nothing to do with the positive reaction.
C. Then again, they were tested while music was played in the background.
D. Psychologists say that their findings indicate music actually blocks creativity.
E. For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, dial, and flower.
F. Before the experiment, the participants didn't study the music they would listen.
G. To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music builds up creativity.

Mum and Her Bank Account
My family had the tradition to sit down by the kitchen table every Saturday night to count out the money Dad had brought home.
"These are for the rent, and these for the groceries." Mum counted out and divided the big silver pieces.
"I'll need a notebook," That would be my sister Christine, my brother Nels or me.
After Mum put one or two coins to the side for the notebook, she said that was all we needed to buy for the week and we all relaxed a little. We didn't have to go downtown and draw money out of Mum's bank account, which could always give us such a warm and secure feeling for having enough to afford the life.
When Nels graduated from grammar school, he needed some money for high school. We sat by the table and I offered my "Little Bank" which was used for sudden emergencies such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to see a doctor. I laid the box carefully in front of Mum. After counting out the money in the little bank and finding there was not enough, we all agreed not to go to the bank but to find some ways.
Nels volunteered to work in Dillon's grocery after school and Dad said he would give up smoking. Now there was enough money. We felt relieved.
So many things came out of the little bank that year：Christine's dress for the school play, Nel's operation...Whatever happened, we always knew we still had the bank to depend on. We never used her bank account.
That was twenty years ago.
Last year, I sold my first story. When the money came, I thought of Mum's bank account.
