Not only do you put repair costs on the charity, but you are also using the organization as a way to get rid of your junk.
Find a New Owner
There are many people that could greatly benefit from your used appliances, including new couples, students, poverty-stricken families, and many others. Similar to donating to a charity, it is important to ensure that your appliances are in good working order, and if they are not, you can put up an ad. definitely stating that you are giving away the broken appliances for free.

Before you do recycle your old items, there are several things that you should be aware of. Fist of all, you need to know about how refrigerator freezers and air conditioners are recycled, as often these must be covered. According to your city, you may be required to take off the doors of your appliances to protect children or animals from getting trapped inside and getting hurt.
Donate Your Appliances as Scrap (废品)Metal
If your old appliances are completely broken, it might be best to just give them away as scrap metal. Fortunately, there are many different organizations and companies that need as much metal as they can get. Additionally, you won’t have to do any of the scrapping or tearing apart by yourselves, as professionals take care and effort in removing harmful elements.

A young painter had just completed a beautiful painting. To get people’s opinions about his painting skills, he put his painting at a crossing on a busy street and put up a board that read, “Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. Since I’m new, I might have made some mistakes in my work. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake.”
When he came back in the evening, he was completely shocked to see that the whole painting was filled with crosses. He ran to his master and said to him, “I’m useless and if this is what I have learnt to paint, I’m not worth teaching.”
The master smiled and said, “I’ll let you know that you are a great artist. Now go to paint the same painting again and give it to me.”
Then they went to the same street the next morning and put the same painting exactly at the same place. Now the master took out another board which read, “Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. I might have made some mistakes in my painting. I have put a box with colours and brushes just below. If you see a mistake, pick up the brush and correct it.” Two days later, they came back to the place. The young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a single correction.
It’s easier to criticise but difficult to improve. If you want to help people improve their behavior, you’d better learn how to help people change their behaviour, attitudes and skills. Also, always remember not to judge yourself by someone else’s criticism, because you are the best judge to judge yourself.
24. Why did the young painter put his paining on a busy street
A. To let others know he was skilful.
B. To make money by selling his painting.
C. To get others’ ideas about his painting skills.
D. To let his teacher know he was a good student.

26. How did the master help his student know he was a great painter
A. By teaching the student more painting skills.
B. By asking people not to put any crosses on the painting.
C. By painting a different painting himself and putting it on the street.
D. By putting up a board with different words beside the same painting.
27. What is the best tile for the text
A. Be Proud of Yourself B. Learn to Help Rather Than Judge Others
C. Don’t Judge Other People D. Never Give Others Crosses
C
If you have trouble falling asleep, listen up. You might fall asleep 15 minutes earlier and wake up far less during the night if you put on a pair of socks at bedtime.
To understand why, you first need to grasp the relationship between core body temperature and sleep. During daylight hours, the human body has an average temperature of 37℃. But your core body temperature drops as much as 1.2℃ over one night’s sleep. This gradual decrease is a key part of how we sleep. Put simply, the faster you can lower your core body temperature, the faster you will fall asleep.
One way that your body controls its temperature is through blood vessels (血管) in the skin. If your body is too hot, your blood vessels widen, pushing the warmer blood nearer the skin’s surface, helping it to cool. If your body is too cold, the opposite happens. Your blood vessels narrow, restricting the flow of blood to the surface.
The sole of your feet are one of your body’s most efficient heat exchangers, since they are hairless and less protected than other skin surfaces. Researchers have shown that warming the feet before going to sleep using a warm foot bath or by wearing socks promotes blood vessel widening, which in turn lowers the body’s core temperature faster than going to sleep with cold, bare feet.
Scientists suspect that socked feet have a sleep-benefiting effect on the brain as well. The warm-sensitive neurons (神经元) in the brain become more active when there’s a temperature difference between the body’s core and the feet. Researchers have found that these neurons become more active as we get sleepy and slow down as we wake up, so that warming up the feet before bedtime may give them an extra drive, making you feel sleepier.
In a small study, researchers found that wearing a pair of special “sleeping socks” not only sped up the coming of sleep, but increased overall sleep time by an average of 30 minutes and cut nighttime waking episodes (经历) in half. If you’re worried about becoming too warm, look for socks made of natural fibers.
28. In which section of a newspaper can we find this text
A. Advertisement. B. Lifestyle. C. Opinion. D. Trend.
29. What change does warm feet bring to the body
A. Slowed brain reaction. B. Narrowed blood vessels.
C. Reduced core body temperature. D. Decreased blood pressure.
30. How might the brain’s warm-sensitive neurons help sleep
A. They might help to warm up the feet.
B. They might speed up temperature growth.
C. They might slow down the brain’s blood flow.
D. They might bring on sleepiness when activated.
31. What is the finding of the small study mentioned in the last paragraph
A. The warmth of socks depends on their material.
B. People wearing socks fall asleep 50 percent faster.
C. Special socks increase temperature more effectively.
D. Sock wearing helps people sleep longer and wake less.
D
As AI art generators (生成器) take the world by storm, some people wonder if their works should count as art at all. The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out, which means there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce.
Art is classed as the product of imagination, skill, experience, and emotion, usually meant to represent something for the public to enjoy. Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto these works. Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data, linking someone’s prompt to datasets, and trying to represent it as best as possible. The difference is that the AI is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself.
AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Why Scarcity—there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be
AI art involves a program mimicking (模仿) the work of existing artists to create a new piece according to the request of a human. But who made the artwork, the machine or its user And can the original artists sue for copyright (版权) violation Such questions complicate the merging of artificial intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.
Once we’ve answered those questions, we can tackle the really big one: When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who gets the prize
32. What does the underlined word “flaws” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Benefits. B. Advances. C. Weaknesses. D. Standards.
33. How is AI art different from human art
A. It is the product of experience.
B. It costs less money to produce.
C. It combines different styles of work.
D. It is not a mirror of humans’ emotions.
34. Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in the third paragraph
A. To prove the popularity of classic artworks.
B. To present the potential trouble with the value of AI art.
C. To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists.
D. To introduce a new way of preserving art masterpieces.
35. What can we infer from paragraph 4
A. AI art promotes the sale of artistic products.
B. AI art makes copyright issues more complicated.
C. Artists can create more works with the help of AI.
D. There will be fierce competition in the art industry.

Technology is a great way to stay in touch, but sometimes you need to spend time with other people in person. 38 You can also take steps to feel more connected by making small talk with strangers who are sharing pats of your day.

You never know the difference you might make unless you take the time to encourage someone.
I gave up the idea of being a writer the summer before I started college. I’d been writing since I was five years old. My little friends wanted toys at that time, but I just wanted paper. Childhood passed and a box of short stories gave way to my middle school days. I wrote for a magazine and by the time I was in my eighth grade, half of the annual publications were written by me. Sometimes I’d dream about being a novelist, writing books that everyone might read. My dad was always sure that it would happen. When he read my poems or stories, his eyes welled up. “That’s beautiful, honey,” he always told me. “One day, the entire world will know what a gift you have.” Those words encouraged me through high school to keep believing that writing was my calling.
But somewhere along the months of my senior year I became disappointed. The crazy injustice in this world—bad guys, getting back out on the street and doing harm again and again, changed my mind. “I’m going to be a lawyer in the future,” I told my parents. My dad’s face fell, but he kept his smile. “Whatever you do, you’ll be brilliant at it,” he said to me.
One of my first classes at college was Journalism 100. One day, the professor, Bob Scheibel, assigned us a story about an apartment fire. He gave us the facts and we had a few days to write a news story.
I was sure that I had got the facts right when I wrote the story. I didn’t expect much feedback. But a few days later, Bob Scheibel asked me to talk to him after class. Questions raced through my mind. What had I done wrong Had I got the facts mixed up Did I miss anything critical in the details Five minutes after the class, I found myself in front of the professor. His eyes met mine with great seriousness.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
The professor asked whether I had read an article about this event on the newspapers. ______________________

Dear Mr Smith,
I’m writing to invite you to attend a traditional Chinese painting show to be held in our school next Sunday. First, all the works created by the art students and teachers will be on display. Second, there will be an art lecture at the end of the show. You will also learn some traditional Chinese painting skills after the lecture. The show will last from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. I am sure you will be interested in it. It would be a great pleasure to have you attend this event.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes.
Yours,

The professor asked whether I had read an article about this event on the newspapers. I shook my head and said no. “This is the first time that I have heard of this story,” I replied. “What you have written is brilliant. You’ve done a very good job,” the professor said. “I think you have a talent for writing things.” As saying this, he handed the writing assignment to me and I saw a bright “A+” on the paper. Walking out of the teachers’ office, I felt my heart soaring like a bird into the sky. The teacher’s encouragement brightened my day.
Since then, I began to devote myself to writing and later in the school and city writing competitions. I got numerous awards and honours. All these achievements acted as a motivation for me to dream of being a writer in the future. Now my dream has come true. I am one of the famous novelists in our city. The teacher’s words will always be embedded in my heart because it is his encouragement that has set up a path for my future. Thank you, my dear teacher.
部分答案详解
阅读理解
A篇 本文是一篇说明文。扔掉旧电器会造成许多环境问题,本文介绍了旧电器循环利用的几种方式。
21. B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, you should ensure that your appliances still work.”和第三段中的“Similar to donating to a charity, it is important to ensure... are in good working order...”可知,前两种方式的相似之处是要确保家用电器都能运转,即电器状况良好。
22. C 细节理解题。根据Contact a Recycling Company一段最后一句“According to your city, you may… and getting hurt.”可知,如果我们想回收利用我们的旧电器,我们应该考虑它们是否会造成一些危险或伤害。
23. B 细节理解题。根据最后一段前两句“If your old appliances are completely broken, it might... need as much metal as they can get.”可知,如果你想捐出完全坏掉的电器,可以把它们捐给需要金属的公司。
B篇 本文是一篇记叙文。一位年轻的画家针对自己的同一幅画两次征求人们的意见,却得到了两种截然不同的反馈。这个故事告诉我们一个道理:如果想要帮助别人改善他们的行为,要能给出具体的改进意见,而不是仅仅作出简单的好与坏的评价。
24. C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“To get people’s opinions about his painting skills, he put his painting at a crossing on a busy street”可知,这位画家把作品展示于熙熙攘攘的十字路口,是为了征求大家对他绘画技巧的看法和意见。
25. C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I’m useless… I’m not worth teaching.”可知,这位年轻的画家很受挫,感到很沮丧。
26. D 推理判断题根据第三段及第四段前两句,师傅让他画一幅同样的画,然后在旁边放了一块不同内容的牌子,最后看到了完全不一样的结果。
27. B 标题归纳题。根据最后一段中的“If you want to help people improve their behaviour, you’d better learn how to help people change their behaviour, attitudes and skills.”可知,本文告诉我们一个道理:如果你想要帮助人们改善他们的行为,你最好学习如何帮助人们改变他们的行为、态度和技能,而不是仅仅作出评判。所以最佳标题是“学会帮助别人,而不是评判别人”。
C篇 本篇是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究发现“穿袜子睡觉有助于睡眠”,并解释了其中的原因。
28. B 推理判断题。本文主要讲的是“穿袜子睡觉有助于睡眠”,睡觉是属于生活方面的内容,因此该文章最可能出现在报纸生活方式版块。
29. C 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Researchers have shown that warming the feet before going to sleep using a warm foot bath or by wearing socks promotes blood vessel widening, which in turn lowers the body’s core temperature faster than going to sleep with cold, bare feet.”可知,暖脚会给身体带来的变化是降低核心体温。
30. D 细节理解题。根据第五段的“Researchers have found that these neurons become more active as we get sleepy and slow down as we wake up, so that warming up the feet before bedtime may give them an extra drive, making you feel sleepier.”可知,大脑的温敏神经元被激活时可能会导致困倦,因此帮助睡眠。
31. D 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“In a small study, researchers found that wearing a pair of special “sleeping socks” not only sped up the coming of sleep, but increased overall sleep time by an average of 30 minutes and cut nighttime waking episodes (经历) in half.”可知,穿袜子有助于人们睡得更长,醒得更少。
D篇 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是随着AI艺术生成器席卷全球,引发了很多需要解决的问题。
32. C 词义猜测题。根据首段中的划线单词前的“The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out”可知,这项技术在不断发展中,存在这很多的问题,划线单词为which引导的非限制性定语从句中的单词,对主句进行解释,由此可知,该单词的意思应是“瑕疵或问题”。
33. D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The difference is that the Al is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself.”可知,人类艺术是表达自己的情感欲望,而AI是则是靠程序驱动,由此可知,AI艺术不是人类情感的反应。
34. B 推理判断题。根据第三段可知,AI画家可以大规模生产原创作品,但是其创作的画作要低于达芬奇的真迹,结合下文中的问题“Why Scarcity—there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be ”可知,AI艺术创作引发很多问题,由此可以推断,作者提到《蒙娜丽莎》的目的是为了呈现AI艺术价值的潜在问题。
35. B 推理判断题。根据第四段可知,这些问题使得AI与艺术产业融合变得复杂,也助长了反对AI创作的作品视为可销售艺术产品的争论,由此可推断,AI艺术使得版权问题变得复杂。
七选五 这是一篇说明文。主要说明了在当今快节奏的世界中,人们很容易感觉与周围的人和事物脱节,并给出一些建议来解决这一问题。
36. 由下文however转折可知上文中表述的是有时你会感到孤立以及和别人疏远。E项“有时候你会觉得与你所爱的人隔绝和疏远。”符合文意。故选E。
37. 由上文可知,下文可能会提出这些问题的解决方法。选项G中的hose questions恰好呼应那些问题,G项“如果你针对那些问题去努力,那么就能有效地拉进你们的距离。”符合文意。故选G。
38. 由小标题“Interact with people in person.”及前文可知本段讲述的是科技是很好的联系方式,但有时还是要花时间亲自与人联系。由此可知,下文应承接上文讲述应该怎样亲自和他人联系。C项“你需要与人联系安排聚会的时间。”符合文意。故选C。
39. 设空位置为小标题,首先句式上与其他的小标题保持一致用祈使句,又结合下文展开的内容可知本段的建议是让你去问他人需要你什么。B项“问别人他们需要你做什么”可以作为本段小标题。故选B。
40. 由小标题“Show your commitment to your loved ones.”和本段首句可知本段主要说明,展示你对你爱的人的承诺,告诉他们你有多么重视你们之间的关系。由此可知下文应陈述如何展示你对他们的承诺。F项“投入时间告诉他们你想要保持联系。”符合文意。故选F。

45. C 根据前文可知,作者和室友尝试修复电,但很快意识到他们做不到,所以只能等电工来修。electrician意为“电工”。
46. A 根据上文可知,电工第二天早上才能来修电,所以作者整晚要在没有电的环境中度过了。
47. A 根据前文的“My typical evening is spent watching TV and looking through social media.”可知,因为那晚没电,所以完全不可能做这些事情。
48. B 根据语境,此处是说我们太依赖电了,总期望它会一直工作。
49. D 根据上文的“We just rely too much on electricity, expecting that it will ________.”可知,作者反思我们是否太依赖电了。depend on意为“依赖”。

58. 考查动词语态。这位画家确信自己肯定会被选中。
59. 考查词性转换(形容词变名词)。介词with后应使用名词。
60. 考查连词。When/As在句中表示“当……时”。
61.考查动词时态。空处与smiled构成并列谓语,故用一般过去时。

M: Andrea Nichelson likes to play tennis after a day at school. She is only 10 years old, but she has been playing the sport for four years, and she loves it. “The one thing I like most about tennis is the game. It just really gets my attention more than anything I do. It just brings up the fire in me.”
Andrea lives in Washington D.C. She is one of around 900 children who use the free services of the Washington Tennis and Education Foundation.
The Foundation was set up in 1955. It gives children from 8 to 18 years old a chance to play tennis, and learn school-related and other skills.
Audra Bell works with the Foundation. She says the lives of children change when they decide to join the program. “They learn discipline and they learn mental toughness (坚韧) and all of the things that tennis teaches you as a whole. It’s really amazing to see.”
The group’s president, Rebecca Crouch-Pelham, continues, “You’re on the court, you’re playing singles, you’re by yourself and you’re relying on yourself.”
