My classmates and I egged one another on ironically (讽刺地): Who could enjoy the show The performers’ clothing seemed odd. The instruments, strange. But then the performers kicked in, dancing to their bombo and wankara drums around the stage and the panpipes and quena announced a kind of sound — new to us.We had spent too little time discussing the culture of the Inca in social studies but its traditions came alive for us that evening. Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music, my teenage cynicism disappeared. I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy.I have spent the last seven years living and working in South America. But my thirst for cultural exploration and a desire to understand the world outside my language and country has been alive longer than that. Sometimes I think that night dancing to those ancient rhythms unlocked this fascination. Why do I remember it so-clearly decades later In his recent book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, psychology professor Dacher Keltner explains that “brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do.” Besides being a memorable emotion, awe boosts curiosity, builds humility, helps with critical thinking, and makes people feel more connected. It even makes us happier. “Twenty years into teaching happiness,” Keltner writes about how to find deep happiness, “I have an answer: FIND AWE.”Moving forward, let’s do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum (课程). So when our former students approach us on the subway years later, they will recall the magical moments from their days spent in our classes.4.How did the students initially react to the Andean band’s performance A.They left in disappointment. B.They showed respect for it.C.They felt joyful to appreciate it. D.They approached it with doubt.5.What does the underlined word “cynicism” in paragraph 3 refer to A.A deep understanding of music.

D.A strong enthusiasm for exploration.6.Which can be inferred from paragraph 5 A.Curiosity and humility aid critical thinking more than awe.B.Only long periods of awe benefit mind and body.C.Awe is the only emotion for feeling connected.D.Keltner sees awe as key to deep happiness.7.What is the target audience of the text A.Psychology researchers. B.High school graduates.C.Parents. D.Teachers.What is the purpose of lightning The new study published at the end of April in Science found that lightning may play a bigger role in global climate change than was previously known by the scientific community.Many are familiar with the potentially deadly dangers posed by lightning, which is blamed for an average of 43 deaths in the United States each year, based on data from 1989 to 2018. Although the odds of being struck are quite low-1 in 1, 222, 000 in a given year and 1 in 15, 300 in a lifetime many in the weather community have long urged people to take proper precautions to stay safe in storms. However, the researchers recently uncovered a surprising and beneficial impact of lightning.The study, which included contributions from nine atmospheric researchers across a dozen universities, was based on an airborne research flight conducted by a NASA DC-8 storm-chasing plane in 2012. Researchers initially thought there was a problem with the equipment on the plane, which was being used to measure the hydroxyl radicals (羟基自由基) in the atmosphere until they realized increases they observed corresponded with lightning flashes, ABC News reported.Hydroxyl radicals, described as a “chemical scavenger (清洗剂) ” by Science Direct, are important chemical compounds found in the atmosphere due to the reactive nature with other organic molecules (分子). Researchers previously understood that lightning could help to clean the atmosphere, but there was no evidence that it could generate compounds like these radicals. “No one has seen that much in the atmosphere from natural processes, ever,” Brune said. As a result, the study estimates that somewhere between 2% and 16% of the oxidizing (氧化), or cleaning that happens naturally in the Earth’s atmosphere, is done by lightning.Why is this significant The oxidation process helps to reduce chemicals like carbon monoxide and methane in the atmosphere. These chemicals, known for being greenhouse gases, have been proven to contribute to rising temperatures associated with climate change. Researchers say that more studies will need to be conducted to verify the degree to which lightning contributes to the fight against global climate change.8.What do the statistics in Para 2 tell us about lightning A.It threatens human lives. B.It can only harm people.C.It is a strange phenomenon. D.It happens quite frequently.9.What led to the new discovery in the text A.The equipment failure on the storm-chasing plane.B.The increase of Hydroxyl radicals during lightning.C.The lightning flashes observed by the research team.D.The airborne research conducted by NASA scientists.10.How does Brune feel about the finding A.Doubtful. B.Amazed. C.Frustrated. D.Ambiguous.11.What is the main idea of the text A.Hydroxyl radicals clean the atmosphere.B.Oxidizing is a natural result of lightning.C.Lightning may help address climate change.D.Greenhouse gases contribute to rising temperature.Parenting styles have evolved over the years in response to the rapid social changes. Whether it is tapping technology or applying the best parenting practices, parents nowadays generally invest more time in finding out how best to raise their child.Modern parents have access to the internet and social media for ideal parenting advice and tips. There are also numerous parenting groups for different age groups on social media that parents can join. A parent can post questions from how to manage the constant cries of an infant to how to talk to a moody teenager, and chances are, the parent will be flooded instantly with advice and relevant articles. The availability of resources has helped modern parents to be more involved and supportive of their children’s development, academically, emotionally and socially. Modern parents are also keener to find out about effective parenting methods to raise disciplined and confident children.Meanwhile, one of modern parenting styles, helicopter parenting, arises. When parents become over-involved, over-concerned and over-controlling, they start helping children with what they are capable of on their own, for example, selecting activities and friends for them. Such a parenting style can restrict the children’s ability to handle responsibilities independently. Children might be ill-equipped with life skills such as operating a stove or monitoring their schoolwork. Overprotecting children from failures may also be prevented from developing resilience (韧性) and acquiring skills like problem-solving.On the other hand, parents in the past tended to supervise (监管) less. Children were given more control over how they managed their schoolwork and the friends they chose to play with. They were often expected to shoulder the responsibilities of caring for younger siblings and managing household chores. Living in the preinternet era, parents were less informed about different parenting approaches and personalities.There is no one right way to raise a child and there is no need to doubt about the best parenting style. Each child is unique and should be raised differently by parents who are present, but not hovering (盘旋);who are supportive but not controlling; and who protect but not spoil.12.What does the author explain by mentioning “an infant” and “a moody teenager” in paragraph 2 A.Devotion to kids.B.Easy access to guidance.C.Effective parenting.D.Tricky parenting problems.13.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning modern parenting A.Its benefits. B.Its influence.C.Its characteristics. D.Its type.14.What can we learn about parents in the past A.They had strengths and weaknesses in parenting.B.They were wiser than modern parents in1 parenting.C.They were to blame for child development prospect.D.They contributed to the children’s well-rounded abilities.15.What is the purpose of writing the article A.To recommend how to parent wisely.B.To appeal to learn from modern parents.C.To inform how parenting has changed.D.To introduce two parenting strategies.There have been several incidents in recent years where people died because of unsafe crowd conditions and stampedes (人群的蜂拥), the latest one unfolding in Seoul, South Korea, with at least 155 deaths reported. This may leave some people thinking there’s little you can do to survive a stampede. 16 But crowd-safety experts say there are several strategies that could help you avoid a potentially deadly outcome. Consider these steps below:The key to staying safe in a crowd begins as soon as you arrive at the location, says Randy Atlas, a safety consultant based in Fort Lauderdale. 17 It’s a piece of common sense advice that Atlas applies not just at big events, but even when entering almost any room.If there’s a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, your instinct (本能) may be to fight back and push the opposite way. 18 If you go against the flow, you increase your chances of getting tripped and knocked down. Another risk, according to experts: If you fight the crowd, you will tire yourself out quickly in a situation where energy is needed.As you move forward with the crowd, it’s best to move in a diagonal (对角线的) direction so you can potentially angle your way out of the situation. The goal is to get to the edge of the stampede where it’s less likely that you’ll end up stuck at a choke-point, like a doorway.19 Look for a solid structure to stand behind such as a pillar or a wall. Other places to duck: behind a car or even a lamp post.In many stampede events, people die simply because they are crushed to the point they can’t breathe. But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you, almost in a boxer-like position. That could give you some very valuable breathing room — literally. 20A.Another potential way is to shelter yourself.B.But that could be a big mistake, Atlas warns.C.In this case, you don’t necessarily have to wait and let time slip by.D.Namely, to take note of where the nearest exits are.E.It’s a simple pose, but surprisingly effective and possibly life-saving.F.Other events, such as a Halloween gathering, are likely to turn deadly.G.Indeed it’s a frightening situation and circumstances may make it impossible to escape.二、完形填空Jonathan Jones, 12, was overcome with emotion after his principal, who is also color blind, let him 21 his unique glasses during science class last week.As soon as Jones put the glasses on, he appeared to be immediately 22 . He initially smiled and laughed, but he 23 moments later. He then walked around the classroom excitedly, 24 the now vivid colors around him.“I was feeling joy that I could 25 see all this color... and a little bit of 26 that I couldn’t see color my whole life,” Jonathan told ABC news.The boy’s mother posted a(n) 27 of Jonathan seeing color for the first time online and started a GoFundMe campaign to buy a pair of the unique glasses for Jonathan, which reportedly cost $350. However, so many people were 28 by Jonathan’s story, and the campaign actually ended up 29 more than $ 25,000.She wrote “After posting the video, we’ve been touched by how many 30 people have wanted to help him. We’ve had 31 pairs donated to Jonathan and will use 100% of donated funds to purchase color blind glasses for those who can’t 32 them.” “The glasses company will 33 every pair we purchase with a free pair, which doubles the number of people we can 34 ,” she continued.For Jonathan, with the new glasses comes a new 35 of the world. He said his favorite color is blue and he’s excited to visit the Caribbean this winter so he can see the ocean in all its glory.21.A.borrow B.adjust C.remove D.polish22.A.annoyed B.disappointed C.embarrassed D.surprised23.A.cheered up B.broke down C.calmed down D.woke up24.A.exploring B.painting C.mixing D.changing25.A.occasionally B.constantly C.finally D.rarely26.A.relief B.shame C.sadness D.tension27.A.introduction B.picture C.article D.video28.A.entertained B.moved C.shocked D.confused29.A.saving B.collecting C.loaning D.costing30.A.ambitious B.competent C.wealthy D.generous31.A.multiple B.fashionable C.ordinary D.cheap32.A.produce B.fix C.find D.afford33.A.equip B.match C.compare D.replace34.A.instruct B.accompany C.help D.treat35.A.view B.record C.situation D.future三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Ancient book restoration, a delicate and time-honored craft in China. It plays a key role in 36 (preserve) the nation’s written heritage — a legacy that carries the 37 (wise) of scholars and artists over millennia. For centuries, restorers have worked to repair old, damaged books, many of 38 are hundreds of years old and at risk of being lost.The process of restoring an ancient book demands technical skill and cultural understanding. First, restorers clean the pages to remove dirt and mold. Then, they repair 39 (tear) pages using special paper that matches 40 original in color and texture. This work requires great patience-restorers often spend weeks or even months on a single book. 41 is special about Chinese book restoration is its respect for the historical artifact 42 (it). Restorers try to make as few changes as possible, ensuring that the book’s original appearance and content are left undamaged.Today, young people are joining this field. They learn from master restorers and also use modern technology, 43 digital scanning, to carry out their work accurately. In recent years, with 44 (interact) displays, restored book exhibitions 45 (inspire) more people to care about protecting cultural relics. This craft not only saves old books but also passes on the spirit of preserving history, a value that has been cherished by Chinese people for generations.四、书信写作46.你班英语课开展“手工制作丰富生活(Handicrafting Enriches Life)”为主题的项目学习活动。请你写一篇发言稿,代表小组介绍你们的作品,内容包括:1.作品描述;2.创作缘由。注意:1.写作词数应为80个左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Hello, everyone!___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________五、书面表达47.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。Andy Warhol said, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” Soon, the phrase “fifteen minutes of fame” became a standard promise. Like most people, I never really expected to have even a few seconds of many people’s wonderful attention. And then it happened.We were aboard the big ship, the National Geographic Explorer, on a trip to Antarctica. The ship carried many passengers and crew members. Excitement filled the air as we witnessed huge pieces of ice and snow covered mountains.Motor-driven boats took us across the frozen sea so we could climb snowy mountain ranges and watch unique animals. In the following days, we relaxed in the beautiful White Continent. Then one morning, we saw a sign announcing an open invitation to all passengers, “Polar Plunge (跳水) at 12:30. You’re welcome to participate in the wonderful and meaningful event for fun, physical health, charity and also courage building.”My husband and I were surprised at the sign. His face brightened, showing he wanted to have a try, but I had panic. Many reasons for not doing such a silly act clicked through my mind. “No way,” I said. “For starters, we’re a little too old. The water is freezing. Heights terrify me. In simple language, I’m a coward.”My words didn’t weaken my husband’s enthusiasm. “Moreover,” I continued,“it means I’d have to wear a swimsuit in public with many people staring at my fat, old body. “We’ll never have another chance,” he just smiled, “and it’s for charity how meaningful that is!” My determination gradually weakened. My hearty “No way” gave way to a weak “Maybe”. Finally, I gathered my courage and said, “Okay. Let’s go for it.”After medical workers carefully checked our physical condition, we wore our swimsuits, and gathered at the diving board with the other participants. A brave teen wished to be first in line. The remaining few ranged in age from energetic young people to middle-aged adults joking and laughing. My husband and I were visibly the ancient, senior citizens of the group. Volunteers stayed on the lifeboats below to ensure all participants’ safety.注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。We waited for our turn to come.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Then, my husband and I rushed to float to the surface.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考答案1.A 2.D 3.B4.D 5.B 6.D 7.D8.A 9.B 10.B 11.C12.B 13.D 14.A 15.C16.G 17.D 18.B 19.A 20.E21.A 22.D 23.B 24.A 25.C 26.C 27.D 28.B 29.B 30.D 31.A 32.D 33.B 34.C 35.A36.preserving 37.wisdom 38.which 39.torn 40.the 41.What 42.itself 43.like 44.interactive 45.have inspired46.例文Hello, everyone! I’m honored to present our group’s handicraft project — a Nezha kite crafted using traditional silk painting and bamboo techniques.Our kite depicts Nezha soaring through the skies, his fire wheels glowing and red scarf fluttering. The silk is carefully hand-painted in bold red and gold, colors symbolizing bravery and wisdom in Chinese culture. The bamboo frame, shaped by hand, honors ancient kite-making traditions.We chose Nezha as our theme because his story represents two timeless values: bravery to stand up for justice and creativity to overcome difficulties. In today’s fast-paced world, we hope this kite will inspire everyone to cherish our cultural roots and uphold Nezha’s spirit: courage, resilience, and creativity.Thank you!47.We waited for our turn to come. The teen ahead of us jumped with a whoop, splashing into the icy water like a fearless seal. My knees knocked as I saw the dark, freezing sea below. "You can do this," my husband whispered and squeezed my hand tightly. When our names were called, I shuffled to the edge, legs shaking. With a deep breath, I imitated the teen’s leap, arms outstretched. The instant I left the board, time seemed to freeze — then the shock of ice hit me like a thousand needles.Then, my husband and I rushed to float to the surface. Gasping for air, I flailed toward the lifeboat, my skin burning from the cold. Volunteers hauled us onto the deck, wrapping us in warm towels as cheers erupted around us. "You did it!" someone shouted. I looked at my husband, his face red from the chill but grinning widely. Suddenly I realized the plunge wasn’t about age or appearance, but about seizing adventure. As Andy Warhol’s words echoed in my mind, I smiled, feeling famous not for 15 minutes, but for a lifetime of courage. 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源预览
