This year over twenty-three hundred teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools, meet US teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he bad expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that were usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. “Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I don’t think much of American schools,” he said. “It is far too easy by our level. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for activities. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
28. What’s the purpose of the whole exchange program
A. To have teenagers learn languages.
B. To send students in America to travel in Germany.
C. To let students learn something about other countries.
D. To help teenagers in other countries know the real America.
29. What is true in American schools
A. There are a lot of outside activities.
B. Students usually take 14 subjects in all.
C. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room.
D. There is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.
30. What did Mike think after experiencing the American school life
A. German schools trained students to be better citizens.
B. American schools were not as good as German schools.
C. The easy life in American schools was more helpful to students.
D. A better education should include something good from both America and Germany.
31. What’s Mike’s attitude towards American education
A. Praise. B. Support. C. Ignore. D. criticize.
D
It is said that many brain training products is able to keep us mentally(精神的) fit. Some products even claim that brain training can prevent dementia (痴呆) in old age. Many such products are only money-making rubbish. Also, there is no scientific proof that games or other brain exercises can have this effect(影响). That is what the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) pointed out.
As we get older, our thinking gets slower and it is harder for us to learn new things. Many people try to stay mentally fit by, for example, learning a new language or doing crossword puter games that aim to keep the brain active are also becoming increasingly popular. “Doing exercises like trying to find symbols on a computer screen as fast as possible can actually improve your reaction time,” explains Professor Peter Sawicki, the Institute’s Director. “But scientific studies have shown that brain training only leads to an improvement in one aspect that it is aimed at. So if you learn to find symbols quickly, it does not mean that you will be able to improve your memory.”
Research has not shown that brain training can keep up or enhance (加强) people’s overall mental abilities as commonly thought. “So there is no need to feel bad if you do not enjoy brain training: there are no health reasons for doing it,” says Sawicki. “But if you think brain training exercises are interesting, you can try out different things. For example, completing the order of letters can improve your logic skills. And practicing word association techniques can help you to remember things better. You can do all of these things at home on your own.”
32. What can we learn about the brain training products according to the passage
A. They are expensive. B. They are effective.
C. They are not reliable（可信的）. D. They are harmful to the brain.
33. According to Peter Sawicki, brain training exercises can________.
A. only improve your reaction time B. help all people improve their memory
C. keep the brain active for a longer time D. only improve a certain ability of people
34. The last paragraph shows that brain training exercises should be done_______.
A. when your thinking gets much slower B. under strict instructions (指导)
C. when you can’t learn new things D. in a relaxing way
35. On the whole, researchers think that brain training exercises_______.
A. shouldn’t be encouraged B. aren’t as effective as commonly thought
C may benefit people in some indirect ways D. are just designed for young people to have fun

Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay; just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的)to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing,but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)!Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl, don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure.You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。

Going on singing,she walked into the park,where many people were singing and dancing.2023年下学期期中考试试卷

This year over twenty-three hundred teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools, meet US teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he bad expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that were usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. “Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I don’t think much of American schools,” he said. “It is far too easy by our level. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for activities. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
28. What’s the purpose of the whole exchange program
A. To have teenagers learn languages.
B. To send students in America to travel in Germany.
C. To let students learn something about other countries.
D. To help teenagers in other countries know the real America.
29. What is true in American schools
A. There are a lot of outside activities.
B. Students usually take 14 subjects in all.
C. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room.
D. There is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.
30. What did Mike think after experiencing the American school life
A. German schools trained students to be better citizens.
B. American schools were not as good as German schools.
C. The easy life in American schools was more helpful to students.
D. A better education should include something good from both America and Germany.
31. What’s Mike’s attitude towards American education
A. Praise. B. Support. C. Ignore. D. criticize.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了一种不同国家青少年参与的交换生活动，通过此活动可以感受到不同国家之间的文化差异。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“They will attend US schools, meet US teenagers, and form impressions of the real America.（他们将进入美国学校，遇见美国青少年，并形成对真实的美国的印象。）”和“At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.（与此同时，大约1300名美国青少年将前往其他国家学习新的语言，并对世界其他地区有新的了解。）”可知，在这项交换活动中，世界其他国家的孩子将有机会了解美国，同时，美国的孩子也将有机会了解世界其他地区。由此可知，整个交流计划主要是为了让学生了解其他国家。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities.（在德国，我们除了学习什么也不做。在这里，我们参加了许多户外活动。）”可知，在美国，学生可以参加许多户外活动，句中的“Here”代指的是“美国的学校”，由此可知，美国学校的特别之处在于有很多户外活动。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的 “‘I suppose I don’t think much of American schools,’ he said. ；‘It is far too easy by our level.’（“我想我对美国学校评价不高，”他说。“以我们的水平来说，这太容易了。”）”和“I think that maybe your schools are better in training for activities. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.（我认为也许你们的学校在进行活动培训方面更好。这两者之间应该有某种中间立场。）”可知，在Mike看来，美国学校的课程设置应该更难一些，这是美国学校应该向德国学校学习的地方，但美国学校的学生能够参加更多的户外活动，这是德国学校应该向美国学校学习的地方，由此可知，Mike在经历了美国的学校生活后认为，更好的教育应该包括来自美国和德国的好的方面，包括双方的优点。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“‘I suppose I don’t think much of American schools,’ he said. ；‘It is far too easy by our level.’（“我想我应该批评美国学校，”他说。“以我们的水平来说，这太容易了。”）”可知，Mike对美国学校的教育持批评的态度，他认为美国学校的课程设置应该更难一些，由此可推断出，Mike对美国教育持指责态度。故选D项。

It is said that many brain training products is able to keep us mentally(精神的) fit. Some products even claim that brain training can prevent dementia (痴呆) in old age. Many such products are only money-making rubbish. Also, there is no scientific proof that games or other brain exercises can have this effect(影响). That is what the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) pointed out.
As we get older, our thinking gets slower and it is harder for us to learn new things. Many people try to stay mentally fit by, for example, learning a new language or doing crossword puter games that aim to keep the brain active are also becoming increasingly popular. “Doing exercises like trying to find symbols on a computer screen as fast as possible can actually improve your reaction time,” explains Professor Peter Sawicki, the Institute’s Director. “But scientific studies have shown that brain training only leads to an improvement in one aspect that it is aimed at. So if you learn to find symbols quickly, it does not mean that you will be able to improve your memory.”
Research has not shown that brain training can keep up or enhance (加强) people’s overall mental abilities as commonly thought. “So there is no need to feel bad if you do not enjoy brain training: there are no health reasons for doing it,” says Sawicki. “But if you think brain training exercises are interesting, you can try out different things. For example, completing the order of letters can improve your logic skills. And practicing word association techniques can help you to remember things better. You can do all of these things at home on your own.”
32. What can we learn about the brain training products according to the passage
A. They are expensive. B. They are effective.
C. They are not reliable（可信的）. D. They are harmful to the brain.
33. According to Peter Sawicki, brain training exercises can________.
A. only improve your reaction time B. help all people improve their memory
C. keep the brain active for a longer time D. only improve a certain ability of people
34. The last paragraph shows that brain training exercises should be done_______.
A. when your thinking gets much slower B. under strict instructions (指导)
C. when you can’t learn new things D. in a relaxing way
35. On the whole, researchers think that brain training exercises_______.
A. shouldn’t be encouraged B. aren’t as effective as commonly thought
C. may benefit people in some indirect ways D. are just designed for young people to have fun
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述研究发现大脑训练并不会像人们认为的那样提高人的大脑能力。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“It is said that many brain training products is able to keep us mentally(精神的) fit. Some products even claim that brain training can prevent dementia (痴呆) in old age. Many such products are only money-making rubbish. Also, there is no scientific proof that games or other brain exercises can have this effect（据说很多大脑训练产品能让我们保持精神健康，一些产品甚至声称大脑训练可以预防老年痴呆症。许多这样的产品只是赚钱的垃圾。而且，没有科学证据表明游戏或其他大脑锻炼可以产生这种效果。）”可知，这种大脑训练产品是不可靠的，故选择C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“explains Professor Peter Sawicki, the Institute’s Director. “But scientific studies have shown that brain training only leads to an improvement in one aspect that it is aimed at. So if you learn to find symbols quickly, it does not mean that you will be able to improve your memory.”（研究所所长彼得·萨维基教授解释说：“但科学研究表明，大脑训练只会在其目标的一个方面带来改善。因此，如果你学会快速找到符号，并不意味着你就能改善记忆力。”）”可知，据彼得·萨维基教授所说，大脑训练练习只是能提升你的某一方面的能力，故选择D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Research has not shown that brain training can keep up or enhance (加强) people’s overall mental abilities as commonly thought. “So there is no need to feel bad if you do not enjoy brain training: there are no health reasons for doing it,” says Sawicki. “But if you think brain training exercises are interesting, you can try out different things.（研究还没有表明大脑训练可以像通常认为的那样保持或加强人们的整体智力。“因此，如果你不喜欢大脑训练，没有必要感到糟糕，因为这样做没有健康理由，”萨维基说，“但如果你认为大脑训练很有趣，你可以尝试不同的东西。”）”可知，萨维基认为做大脑训练时应该放松，不要想太多，如果觉得有趣就做，如果觉得不喜欢就不做。D项“in a relaxing way(用放松的方式)”符合题意，故选择D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Research has not shown that brain training can keep up or enhance (加强) people’s overall (全面的) mental abilities as commonly thought.(研究还没有表明大脑训练可以像通常认为的那样保持或加强人们的整体智力)”可知，研究人员认为大脑训练没有人们通常认为的那样有效。故选择B项。

Yours truly,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Amy,
I am sorry that you are having a problem with your friend and quite understand how you feel. Here is my advice to help you save your friendship.
Above all, having been friends with her for so many years, you should trust her. Maybe something happened to her or her family. She probably doesn’t want you to get involved. So it may be a good idea to give her some time to be alone. Besides, if you are really concerned, you can ask another friend to help find out the reason, which is the key to solving the problem.
I sincerely hope my suggestions can be of some help to you and that you and Jane are on good terms as before.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay; just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的)to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing,but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)!Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl, don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure.You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion.
Going on singing,she walked into the park,where many people were singing and dancing.

A grandma smiled to her and said, “Oh, little girl, you sing really well!” Emily said thanks to her. Emily felt pleased that she could sing confidently in front of strangers. The second year, the neighborhood held the singing competition again. This time, Emily walked onto the stage bravely, and her loud and beautiful voice of singing moved all the people. They all cheered for her, including those who had laughed at her. Her mother was delighted to see the timid girl became a brave one.
