Text 3
M: You have arranged to meet Mr Jackson on Friday. So I don’t have to call him, do I
W: Yeah, there’s no need to call him.

Text 5
M: So, anyway, there I was, sitting in my boss’s office. All of a sudden, the phone rang and my boss said…
W: Sorry to interrupt, honey, but I think the baby’s crying. Could you go and check on her And maybe give her the bottle
Text 6
M: What did you do last Saturday
W: I went with my friend Molly to the mall. I bought some new shoes. I wanted a new dress, but I couldn’t find anything that looked good on me.
M: What did Molly get
W: She bought a new pair of pants. Then we went to see a movie, and after that, we ate ice cream. What did you do
M: I went out to eat with my dad. Then we just came home and watched television. It was a nice, quiet evening.
Text 7
M: Hi, Lucy. What are you doing in the library
W: Hi, Jim. I’m in a hurry to do a presentation, but the classroom is on the other side of the school. I have only 10 minutes left. I have to go now.
M: It is raining outside. Did you bring an umbrella with you
W: God, I left it at home before I went to school this morning. What should I do right now
M: Don’t worry, Lucy. I have an umbrella in my gym locker. I can lend you my umbrella. Would you stay here and wait for me
W: That’s very nice of you, Jim, but the gym is too far away from here. I can’t wait any longer, or else I will be late. Don’t bother. I’ll go at once.
Text 8
W: Do you still like reading newspapers or magazines, Mark
M: No. Now I often read news on some famous news sites. It’s more convenient.
W: Is there any impressive news today
M: Yes. The news about a vending machine that bakes a pizza in three minutes.
W: Baking a pizza in three minutes That’s really unbelievable. So is it in the US
M: No. It’s in Rome. The machine is called “Mr Go Pizza”. It offers four different kinds of pizzas which cost between $5 and $7. There’s a small glass window that allows customers to watch as their pizza bakes.
W: So what about the pizza Does it taste good
M: Some people called the pizza “terrible”; others were kinder. They said the pizza was OK, but they also said it was not pizza.
W: Well, Italy is well-known for its pizzas. There are so many restaurants that sell pizzas. I don’t think such a machine will be successful there.
M: I doubt it, too. But the machine has an advantage.
W: What is it
M: It offers 24-hour service. It is very useful if you’re hungry late at night.
Text 9
W: What do you think of social media
M: I have mixed feelings about it. I like it because I can keep in touch with people I don’t talk to very often. But I think that people use it too much. What about you
W: I love it. I love posting photos and getting comments.
M: Sometimes I think people use it just to get popular. I like it when my friends post articles about important issues, not just photos of themselves. Do you have a Twitter account
W: Yes, I also have Instagram and Facebook accounts.
M: I only have Facebook.I usually post links to what I think is interesting. But sometimes I post my writing.
W: I only really post photos of myself. All of my friends do, too.
M: I would have probably done that when I was 15 as well, but I didn’t have social media back then. When you’re 30 like me, you probably won’t want to post photos of yourself any more.
W: Sarah does it and she is 29.
Text 10
M: Good morning, boys and girls. I’d like to welcome you all to Langley College to attend this speech. Our first classes are next Wednesday, but today you have a chance to visit the college.

It has rich fish stocks, a huge number of amazing creatures live in it, and the underwater world is exceptionally rich, which makes it one of the most attractive destinations for divers around the world.”可知,如果你喜欢潜水或各种海洋生物,就应该到珊瑚海和红海,故选择C项。

24.B　细节理解题。根据第一段“I was cutting up lettuce (莴苣) in the kitchen when I suddenly remembered watching a video about soaking the lettuce stub (残余部分) in water to grow a whole new vegetable.

Cold weather has the unique ability to increase the number of brown fat cells.”以及后文“Not only do they help us stay comfortably warm in cold temperatures, but they may also even promote weight loss over time.”可知,本句承接上文,解释棕色脂肪细胞的作用,E项中they指代上文的brown fat cells。E项“它们很重要,通过产生热量来控制体温。”符合语境,故选E。
39.A　根据本段内容“In cold weather, an even body temperature can be beneficial for a good night’s rest. As our bodies try to keep warm when it’s cold out, blood vessels get narrower and help control your sleep temperature for a more relaxed and restful sleep. People sleeping in colder environments generally wake up feeling more refreshed than those sleeping in warmer temperatures.”可知,本段的主旨是寒冷的天气有助于睡眠。故A选项“它有助于睡眠。”符合语境,故选A。
40.F　根据后文“Low temperatures force us to dress warmly against the cold, leading to protection against environmental aspects that would otherwise remove water from our skin.”可知,后文提到低温会避免皮肤失去水分,即寒冷天气对皮肤有好处。F项“寒冷的天气可以使我们的皮肤看起来和感觉健康。”符合语境,故选F。

One possible version:
And then I met Ms Christensen. She was different from any other teacher I had ever known. In her class, I found a safe place to express my thoughts and feelings. Her belief in me gave me the courage to stop trying to be someone else and start being myself. I remember the first time she praised my writing in front of the class. It was like a light bulb going off in my head. I realized that I had something unique to say, and people wanted to hear it.
It was Ms Christensen that gave me the power to be an author. She saw potential in me that I didn’t even know existed. She taught me that writing was not just about grammar and punctuation, but about sharing a piece of myself with the world. To this day, when I sit down to write, I can still hear her voice in my head, urging me to be brave, to be honest, to be me. And for that, I will forever be grateful to Ms Christensen.单元素养测评卷(五)

The most beautiful seas in the world
Considering the most beautiful seas, it’s worth paying attention to the southern water bodies, although, without doubt, each sea is attractive and charming in its own way.
The most beautiful sea in the world—Coral Sea
If we consider the beauty of the seas, and not their coasts, then the first place should be given to the Coral Sea. The Coral Sea is a dangerous place for sailors, and at the same time one of the most beautiful places for diving and all this is due to the unique coral reefs that are home to a wide range of creatures.
The second place—Red Sea
The Red Sea is a truly magnificent place. It has rich fish stocks, a huge number of amazing creatures live in it, and the underwater world is exceptionally rich, which makes it one of the most attractive destinations for divers around the world.
The third place—Caribbean
This is the warmest exotic(异域风情的)place where not only the sea but also the plants on its coast please the eye. It’s located between North and South America, and on its shore there are a number of small countries. Many tourists come here, because rest here is inexpensive, and you can experience different cultural traditions.
The fourth place—Bali Sea
The Bali Sea is located in the Pacific Ocean. This is another paradise(天堂)for relaxation, receiving many tourists every season. The sea has a warm climate, creating ideal conditions for relaxing on the islands of Java, Sulawesi, Sumbawa and Madura.
(　)21.Where should you go if you like diving and various sea creatures

B [2024·浙江省杭州市学军中学高一期末]
I was cutting up lettuce (莴苣) in the kitchen when I suddenly remembered watching a video about soaking the lettuce stub (残余部分) in water to grow a whole new vegetable. So I took out a wide-mouthed cup and placed the stub into it, gave it a little water, and placed it by the window.
On a snowy morning I noticed the first sign. A first small leaf from its heart spread out. A tiny green flag of hope. Beaten, but not defeated. This lettuce was not done living! Within days, it was impossible to see the cuts where I had removed the leaves. The growth was explosive. And when I lifted the blossoming head out of the cup, tiny root threads fell down, seeking for the earth. What is growing here Lettuce or hope
If I were a lettuce in a similar condition, I’d want to sceptically assess where I found myself before committing to full growth. Yet for this lettuce, my inadequate offering of water and a place by a window were enough for it to decide to reclaim itself again. It grew in a cup of water, in faith. This is the heart of this lettuce: alive, strong and fearless. It deserved a name. I decided to call it Monty.
Monty wanted to grow, as we all do. I think I gave him a little love and freedom. Those two were all he needed to return to himself. I see joy in this lettuce. The return to self is always an expression of joy, which is life itself. This is the tendency of all living things.
Monty still lives in a cup, but I’m going to transplant him outside. He deserves to become his full self. The only problem I see now is my ability to support Monty. I hope I have enough of a green finger.
I’m surprised to find myself where I am. Maybe Monty is, too. I have the same choice as he does: give in or start again. The prospect of starting again is discouraging. But my lettuce-friend, Monty, leads the way. I can only hope to be as brave as he is.
(　)24.Why did the author soak the stub in water
A.To decorate the nice cup.
B.To hope that it would grow.

Change can be unsettling. Good or bad, exciting or unexpected, there’s an undeniable anxiety that accompanies seeing our lives shift. Thankfully, nature reminds us that entering a new season in our lives is nothing to fear but something to enjoy.
What’s now known as “leaf-peeping” has become a highly profitable form of tourism in the United States. Research shows that across states in the eastern half of the country, fall foliage (叶子) tourism contributes more than $30 billion to local economies. And even though climate change has made it more difficult to predict when exactly foliage will peak, it hasn’t stopped people from trying to figure it out. Tourism leaders from the Smoky Mountains recently released their annual fall foliage prediction map which helps travellers plan out when they have the best chance to catch those beautiful autumn views.
Perhaps part of what makes the foliage so special is the belief that it’s temporary. Eventually, branches will become bare, and we’ll stop taking photos for social media. And as the seasons change and we feel that familiar longing for what was, trees will once again embrace (欣然接受) their evolution.
Even when they aren’t decorated with flashy fall colours and their internal systems slow down, trees are still supporting the ecosystem. Their fallen leaves are broken down by bacteria and fungi and provide the soil with nutrients the tree needs to grow. Insects take up shelter in their bark, eventually becoming food for other wildlife seeking a place to nest. Their strong roots stabilize the soil, preventing erosion (侵蚀) from winter snowmelt.
Right now, trees around the country are already beginning to welcome their next chapter. During this time of the year, it feels like forests are just offering endless joy for free. And fall foliage is an everlasting reminder that the growth with changes is beautiful.
(　)28.What does “leaf-peeping” refer to
A.A form of tourism where people go to see fall foliage.
B.A measure taken by tourism leaders to protect trees.

(　)29.Why do people find fall foliage so special

A.They are easily damaged by bacteria.
B.They stop rooting due to cold weather.
C.They continue providing shelter for wildlife.
D.They play a role in reducing snowfall.
(　)31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text

Everywhere you go, it seems like people are using something to reduce the noise in their lives. They wear over-ear headphones on public transportation, during long flights, or in open-plan offices, or use coloured earplugs (耳塞) at concerts. Silence is now big business, with the global market for noise-cancelling headphones bringing $13.1 billion in 2021. Experts predict that this figure will triple by 2031. While these market-based solutions are becoming popular, they raise a question: Are there physical and social effects to shutting out the world around us
Noise-cancelling technology was first developed in the 1950s to reduce cockpit noise for pilots. The headphones today use technology known as active noise control. However, too much of a good thing also has its downsides. Many studies have shown that constant earplug wearing, day and night, over just one week can lead to a condition known as tinnitus (耳鸣). “When you stop listening to outside sounds, your brain starts to turn up its ‘internal volume’ so that it can still pick up on things,” McAlpine says. “If you stop the sound going into your ears, it’s like messing with how your brain is supposed to work naturally.”
When it comes to distraction (干扰), the type of noise may matter as much as volume. Moderate (适中的) background noise, around 70dB, has been found to advance performance on creative tasks, for example. “Some people can work really effectively in buzzy cafes and even airports, and yet they can’t focus in the same way in an office. Even if it isn’t as noisy,” McAlpine says. “Your brain in the office is automatically paying attention to all those other conversations—because they might be about something you need to know.”
How, then, can we deal with all the loud distractions in our modern lives An over-dependence on noise-cancelling technology is not necessarily the solution, says McAlpine. “We have given more control to outside sources over our sound environment compared to our visual environment,” he says. “If people started wearing AR/VR goggles and living in their own virtual worlds instead of focusing on improving the physical environment, that would be problematic.”
(　)32.What is the purpose of noise-cancelling headphones
A.To pick up the sounds.
B.To reduce the rate of tinnitus.
C.To improve performance on creative tasks.
D.To create a sense of silence in noisy environments.
(　)33.Which statement is TRUE according to the article
A.Wearing noise-cancelling headphones has no physical or social costs.
B.Creative task performance can be improved by the moderate background noise.
C.Noise-cancelling technology was first developed in the 1950s for concertgoers.
D.The global market for noise-cancelling headphones is believed to drop by 2031.
(　)34.What does the underlined word “buzzy” mean in the third paragraph
A.Lively. B.Advanced.
C.Interesting. D.Quiet.
(　)35.What attitude does McAlpine hold towards the over-dependence on the technology
A.Negative. B.Objective.
C.Optimistic. D.Indifferent.

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。
I was used to correcting my school essays (作文) with some red-ink marks until I met my high school English teacher, Linda Christensen. For our final projects, Ms Christensen would write two-page letters with praise and professional comments. I had never had a teacher who was so thoughtful and careful with my writing.
I loved writing. It was a hobby. But Ms Christensen was determined to make me an author. Her comments were more than just about fixing grammatical errors. She wrote questions to make my essays more detailed; she underlined passages that she agreed with. Her letters always started with how proud she was that I was brave enough to write the truth, how she saw potential in me. I would read her words over and over.
I needed this care, this recognition. I was the last Watson child to attend Jefferson High School. My sister Cheryl was known for being one of the star writers of the school newspaper. Trisa, another sister, had participated in two study-abroad programmes. Dyan, another sister, was good at playing the piano. My sisters were involved in all types of after-school activities, while I was the little one following them like a shadow. No one noticed my existence except Ms Christensen.
Adapting to high school was challenging, and I felt unconfident. On the first day of my high school, a teacher greeted me with a hug, saying, “You have some big shoes to fill.” Then she showed me the trophies (奖杯) in the hallway. I immediately recognized several: Cheryl, Trisa, and Dyan. I was inspired, yes, but mostly worried.
My Spanish was so-so. I got good grades but was not a top student. I loved music, but I wasn’t good at playing any musical instrument. I tried to walk in my sisters’ shoes, but they didn’t fit. I tried to follow their steps, but it was too hard, really.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
And then I met Ms Christensen.


Paragraph 2:
It was Ms Christensen that gave me the power to be an author.
