Li Dan Earlier last year, I liked to lie in bed and watch videos instead of studying. This influenced my studies and made my grades worse. So my parents set up a camera to keep an eye on me. It worked. With the camera watching, I had to do my homework first and make plans for studying at home. When I was alone at home, the camera made me feel safe because I knew that my parents were watching on the other side. My grades improved after a year. Zhang Hua When I was in Grade 8, my parents set up a camera in my room. I really didn’t like it because I felt like there were always eyes watching me.

Passenger ships, trade ships, and fishing boats are a normal part of life on the open sea. However, all their activity creates a great deal of noise underwater. Scientists from the United States and Canada recently reported their observations (观察) that the ocean is getting noisier.
Scientists at the University of Victoria have studied the recordings recorded with equipment placed underwater near the busy shipping lanes off Vancouver Island in Canada. They say engine(发动机) noise is continuous during the day, and a little less strong at night.
Scientists say it is likely that whales must call out more loudly to be heard over this noise. The noise could make it more difficult for orca whales to find food. The orcas find fish by producing clicking sounds and other noises. Loud engine noise could be interfering with their efforts.
Michael Jasny is a policy expert for the Natural Resources Defense Council. He says the rise of underwater noise is limiting the ability of whales to communicate.
Shipping noise falls across the same frequencies (频率) that these animals use for all their vital(重大的，紧要的) behaviors — for feeding, for finding mates, for avoiding predators (捕食者) and for going ahead.”
Mr. Jasny says sound travels very effectively underwater. And it is not just whales he is worried about.
“The whole web of life in the oceans depends on sound. And as more and more research has been done, it’s been very clear that what we have on our hands is really a major problem. It’s a serious problem. It’s a global problem. Fortunately, in shipping we have a problem that has a solution.”
One answer is to design quieter ships. America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, has four new ships that are made to be quieter. Michael Bahtiarian works for Noise Control Engineering, the company which helped design the boats.
Mr. Bahtiarian says the main source of noise pollution is the propeller(螺旋桨). Better shaped propellers and ship designs can help to reduce noise. NOAA’s ships also have costly engines, which produce less noise. Mr. Bahtiarian says the technology to make quieter ships does exist and has been used in the army for some time.
8．The underlined phrase “interfering with” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A．controlling B．troubling C．encouraging D．stopping
9．We can tell that whales depend on sound for ________.
A．communicating with their mates B．stopping predators from fishing
C．fighting against the shipping noise D．telling the night time from the day
10．From the passage we can learn that ________.
A．expensive engines produce less noise in the ocean
B．many animals in the ocean depend on sound for living
C．people should stop making big ships in order to save whales
D．it is difficult to find a way to stop noise pollution in the ocean
11．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．The Ocean is Getting Noisier. B．Whales and Ships in the Ocean.
C．Whales are Facing a Serious Problem. D．Quiet Ships are Needed in the Ocean.
【答案】8．B 9．A 10．B 11．D
【解析】本文主要讲述了船只噪音污染对海洋动物生存产生的影响，以及相应的解决措施。
8．猜测词句题。由第三段第三句“The orcas find fish by producing clicking sounds and other noises"和第四句"Loud engine noise could be interfering with their efforts”可推知，鲸鱼通过发出咔嚓声和其他声音来找到鱼，如果发动机的声音太大，会干扰鲸鱼的找鱼过程。B项意为“打扰；妨碍”，符合题意。故选B。
9．推理判断题。由第四段第二句“He says the rise of underwater noise is limiting the ability of whales to communicate.”可知，鲸鱼是通过声音来与同伴沟通的，符合题意。故选A。
10．推理判断题。由第七段第一句“The whole web of life in the oceans depends on sound.”可知，海洋里整个生命网都是依靠声音。B项符合题意。故选B。
11．最佳标题。文章主要阐述了海洋噪音对海洋生物的影响，同时提出了一些应对措施来降低噪音，保护海洋生物，可推测出最佳标题是“在海洋中需要安静的船只”，故选D。

So what can you do about it Tyrion, who is a short person, is a character in my favorite book, Game of Thrones. He once said, “Never forget what you are … the world will not. Try to make it your advantage. Then it can never be your weakness.”
One way to make your weakness into advantage is to make jokes. Make jokes about yourself before others can. In that way, they can never hurt you.

Imagine you are ordering for your roommates. You remember Laura prefers banana ice cream to chocolate. It could be a fact for it was proved by observing her behavior. However, the ice cream preference could be an opinion that shows her personal choice. While it’s nice to think the world is clearly divided into matters of fact and matters of opinion, it’s not always the case.
What we think are facts — those things we think are true — can end up being wrong. Calling something a fact is not a promise of infallibility (无误). The famous writer, Asimov expressed this in his article The Relativity of Wrong. For him, the person who thinks the Earth is flat is wrong, and so is the person who thinks the Earth is a sphere. A fact is usually used to represent the best knowledge we have at a certain time.
Then again, calling something an opinion doesn't mean an escape to the fairyland of wishful thinking. If we think of an opinion as one person’s view on a subject, then many opinions can be solid. For example, it’s my opinion that science provides us with a powerful tool to help understand our place in the universe. It’s not a fact that science does so, but it works for me.
But we can be much clearer in our meaning if we divide things into matters of fact and matters of opinion. Matters of fact are limited to empirical statements (实证表达), such as what the boiling point of water is. Matters of opinion are non-empirical statements, which include questions of value and of personal preference such as whether it's better to eat more vegetables than meat.
Matters of opinion can be informed by matters of fact (for example, finding out that vegetables are rich in vitamins can change my food preference), but finally they are not answered by matters of fact (why does it matter to me that vegetables are rich in vitamins )
Opinions are not just pale shadows (影子) of facts. They are judgements and conclusions. They can be the result of careful consideration in areas for which empirical research is not enough or ill-suited.
Facts and opinions shouldn’t be put in opposition to each other, as they can both play a necessary role in our decision-making. But that’s just my opinion, not a fact.
16．The writer mentions Asimov’s article in Paragraph 2 to show ________.
A．different opinions result in heated arguments
B．repeating facts can make others agree with us
C．what we take as facts may turn out to be wrong
D．it is difficult to predict how facts change over time
17．The word “informed” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.
A．influenced B．questioned C．replaced D．proved
18．The writer probably agrees that ________.
A．opinions are more important than facts
B．facts and opinions are not against each other
C．opinions can be the results of wishful thinking
D．facts play an important role in scientific research
【答案】16．C 17．A 18．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了作者认为事实和观点不应该相互对立，因为它们都可以在我们的决策中发挥必要的作用。
16．推理判断题。根据“What we think are facts — those things we think are true — can end up being wrong. Calling something a fact is not a promise of infallibility (无误). The famous writer, Asimov expressed this in his article.”可知，“this”指代“What we think are facts — those things we think are true — can end up being wrong.”，因此作者提到Asimov文章是为了说明：我们认为是事实的东西最终可能是错误的。故选C。
17．词句猜测题。根据“Matters of opinion can be informed by matters of fact (for example, finding out that vegetables are rich in vitamins can change my food preference)”可知，意见可以被事实影响，因此“informed”意为“influenced”。故选A。
18．推理判断题。根据“Facts and opinions shouldn’t be put in opposition to each other, as they can both play a necessary role in our decision-making.”可知，作者认为事实和观点不应该相互对立，因为它们都可以在我们的决策中发挥必要的作用。故选B。

My dear boys and girls, good morning. Today I’m going to talk to you about my understanding of learning history.
Many of you may think it is a terrible thing to study history. You may often wonder why we students should study something that has nothing to do with our own lives. If you think that way, I should say you are far from the truth.
In fact, if we study history, we can learn quite a lot about personal stories and events of people just like us. The people who came before us helped build and develop the country we are living in. Their ideas often solved many of our problems and troubles. Studying the past helps us to understand what our ancestors’ (祖先) lives were like. And it also helps us to see how their experiences have shaped our own life.
To be honest, ▲ . Some of what we study in history helps us understand the mistakes of the past. And these mistakes will help people not to do the same wrong things. People often learn from the past to have a better future.
Whether we like the subject of history or not, we must understand the importance of the events and the people who came before us. Our ancestors’ decisions have influenced our own life. Similarly, the decisions of our own generation will finally influence those who come after us. In this only way, the world is truly connected.
History is not just a study of the past. History is the study of people, places, and events that can influence the future.
Now do you still think studying history is a sad thing Or do you have any doubt about learning history If you have any questions, just feel free to ask.
19．If we study history, we can learn that ________.
A．history has nothing to do with our own lives
B．our ancestors helped build and develop our country
C．our ancestors’ ideas solved all our problems and troubles
D．our ancestors’ experiences can’t shape our own life
20．Which of the following can be put in the ▲ in Paragraph 4
A．the mistakes of the past won’t help us B．I don’t like the idea of learning history
C．it is not easy to learn the subject of history D．not everything that happened in the past is good
21．The writer wrote the passage to ________.
A．introduce some important people in history
B．develop students’ interest in learning history
C．explain different people’s understanding of history
D．show the relationship between the past and the future
【答案】19．B 20．D 21．B
【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者讲述了学习历史的重要性，以此来激发学生学习历史的兴趣。
19．细节理解题。根据原文“The people who came before us helped build and develop the country we are living in”可知，学习历史可以了解帮助建设和发展我们国家的先人。故选B。
20．推理判断题。根据下文“Some of what we study in history helps us understand the mistakes of the past”可推断，此处指的是“历史上发生的一些事并不都是好的”。故选D。
21．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文是一篇议论文，作者讲述了学习历史的重要性，以此来激发学生学习历史的兴趣。故选B。

Isn’t fast food delicious Aren’t fast food restaurants cool ... The answer to these questions is yes.
However, there are growing facts that fast food is one of the worst parts of modern life. And studies have shown that burgers and fried chicken, which we enjoy so much, can cause a lot of health problems.
In spite of (尽管) this, why are fast food restaurants so attractive (吸引人的) The first and most important reason is that their service is fast. Their staff (员工) are friendly and very smart-looking in their clean and bright uniforms (制服). Moreover, most fast food restaurants are near places that people always pass by. It is so easy to grab a burger and eat on the way to work.
Fast food is often so conveniently packed (包装方便) that it will not cause a mess even if you stand and eat it. Fast food restaurants are also very clean. A lot of clever ads (广告) have made them the coolest places in town, but none of them has ever told and will never tell you that too much fast food is not good for your health.
Such attractive places are selling junk food! Isn’t it a pity Is there a way to change the fast food restaurants into special places where you get the best possible, healthy and fresh food
Well, why not
As people realize the health problems that fast food causes, it is quite likely that fast food restaurants may go out of date. It may happen sooner or later.
Therefore, instead of resisting (抵制) fast food restaurants, a better idea may be to persuade (说服) them to change their menu! Fast food restaurants can be places to go to when you want to eat something that will be good for your body. If they could combine (结合) healthy food with their speed of service, delicious tastes and comfortable feelings, that will be the next best thing on the earth for the human beings!

Many of you have probably had this experience: You get on a train and are ready to take a nap or read a book, only to find that the passenger in front of you is watching a TV show on his tablet without headphones. The child next to you won’t stop crying. And the old lady behind you talks on her phone during the whole trip.
Wish the train could be less noisy There might be a solution for you. The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, one of China’s busiest high-speed rail lines, have had “quiet” carriages starting since Dec 23, 2020.
In quiet carriages, on board videos are muted (静音) and announcements are made at a lower volume (音量). Doors at the ends of the carriage are kept closed to reduce noise from other carriages. Train attendants (乘务员) are responsible for making sure that passengers remain quiet and follow the rules.
Passengers who are willing to obey the rules can choose the quiet carriages when booking their tickets, according to China’s national railway operator.
Some people have pointed out that this kind of quiet environment should be offered in all carriages. They say that having quiet carriages might give people the impression that they don’t need to be quiet in non-quiet carriages.
Quiet carriages might be more enjoyable. While some internet users are in favor of the new service, it has also sparked discussion about just how quiet travelers should be in quiet carriages. Many people have raised questions such as “What if I snore (打呼噜) ” and “Can we talk to our travel companions if we need to ”
27．Para. 1 is written to show that _________.
A．people do all kinds of things on trains B．people watch TV shows on trains
C．traveling by train is very common D．people on trains are never very noisy
28．Para. 2 mainly tells that to keep the train _________.
A．much busier is in Shanghai B．less noisy is possible in China
C．quiet stared before Dec 23, 2020 D．fastest has achieved in Beijing
29．From Para. 3, how do quiet carriages work
A．The doors of these carriages stay closed.
B．No one makes sure passengers follow the rules.
C．Passengers aren’t allowed to watch videos.
D．Train attendants don’t make any announcements.
30．Which of the following best explains “in favor of” underlined in the last para
A．in need of B．in place of
C．in search of D．in support of
31．What do we know about quiet carriages from the last paragraph
A．The rules should be made much clearer. B．Most people don’t like the service at all.
C．The service is better for solo (单) travelers. D．It’s hard to make trains perfectly quiet.
【答案】27．A 28．B 29．A 30．D 31．D

The child next to you won’t stop crying. And the old lady behind you talks on her phone during the whole trip”可知，第一段通过举例表明，火车上的人们做着各种各样的事情。故选A。

29．细节理解题。根据“Doors of the carriage will be kept closed to reduce noise from other carriages”可知，安静车厢的门是闭着的，故选A。
30．词义猜测题。根据“While some internet users are in favor of the new service, it has also raised discussion about just how quiet travelers should be in quiet carriages.”可知，虽然一些互联网用户支持这项新服务，但它也引发了关于乘客在安静的车厢里应该保持多安静的讨论。因此“in favor of”指的是“支持”，与D项同义。故选D。
31．推理判断题。根据“Many people have raised questions such as “What if I snore (打呼噜) ” and “Can we talk to our travel companions if we need to ” ”可知，一些人支持这个观点，而一些人提出了问题，比如有人提出“如果打呼噜呢？”，因此可以推断出要使火车完全安静是很难的，故选D。

In France, Italy and some western countries, cheek (脸颊) kissing is a way of greeting others. But because of the COVID-19, this custom is a question on people’s minds now.
More and more people dislike cheek kissing in modem society. In a survey in March, 2021, half of the people who were interviewed said they would stop using cheek kissing in the future. And 78% would no longer use it with strangers. Men, however, only kissed other men if they were close friends or family.
The question of whether cheek kissing is here to stay or go is not just a matter of changing personal greeting ways, but how a nation expresses itself. In France, many people are finding themselves dislike to kiss when they see each other. They choose to bump (碰撞) arms to greet each other. Italians choose to greet friends with chest-to-chest contact (胸与胸的接触) but with heads turning away from each other. It is believed that close body contact can bring people together.
It’s important to note that cheek kissing hasn’t been around forever. In fact, this kind of social custom has been shut down before because of diseases. For example, at the time that the Black Death broke out in Europe in the 14th century, people stopped kissing each other as a way of greeting. It wasn’t until about a century ago that cheek kissing was brought back. So, is cheek kissing on its way to becoming a relic(历史遗迹) again

How do you treat your books Do you use a bookmark to avoid folding(折叠)a page and keep your books tidily on a shelf Or perhaps you pay less attention to their condition — you’re happy to take notes down the margins(页边空白) of a page. What’s your idea — do you think they should always be kept in good condition
Yes. Books deserve our respect. It is important to care for your books. This is especially true if the book costs a lot of money or is given to you as a present. It also won’t last long if they are damaged(破坏). If a book is full of ripped(撕破的) pages, it is less possible that a friend will want to pick it up and read. If you donate it to a charity shop, it is less possible that someone will buy it. Over time, treating books badly could become a bad habit.
NO. It doesn’t matter if you just read. One of the great things about an actual book is that readers can make it their own with notes. If it’s a gift, you can write a nice message. It can make a book feel personal and special to you. It doesn’t matter if this means that a book isn't in perfect condition — you can always buy a new copy if the old one gets too damaged. In the end, writers just want people to read their stories: they don’t mind how or where people do it.

If you’re working to become better or hoping to make a change, you’ll probably hear your family and friends say “go big or go home”. But sometimes big goals can shoot you in the foot. So, is it good to set high expectations
Having high expectations could be beneficial. It can motivate (激励) you and increase your productivity. When you have high expectations for something, you’ll probably behave in ways which can help make your expectations come true. For example, if you believe that you’re able to score an A in a test, you will probably spend a lot of time working on it. And when you have to complete a written task before the deadline, having expectations on yourself can motivate you to keep on going. Another benefit of setting high expectations is that as you start meeting your expectations, you’ll be even more motivated to set higher goals for yourself. In addition, having high expectations on yourself doesn’t only benefit you. You’re likely to encourage others to be more productive! While there’s plenty of good that comes from setting high expectations, going overboard and being unrealistic in expectations can be detrimental.
Having high expectations sometimes can cause psychological (心理的) problems, such as worry and unhappiness. The findings of a study showed that a group of students who were expected to do perfectly by their parents experienced serious stress and anxiety (焦虑). Great expectations can also lead to great disappointment. This is especially true when you set expectations on other people whose actions you cannot control. For example, if you’re feeling alone and you call up your friends, you surely expect them to make you feel better. When this fails to happen, you will feel disappointed and displeased with your friends. To avoid this situation, you should accept your friends for who they are and set your expectations around reality.
It is hard to manage expectations, but the main goal is to find the perfect balance in setting a more realistic and achievable expectation. Learn to let go of things, especially when they don’t turn out the way you hoped. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to celebrate your victories no matter how small they are.
40．If you have a high expectation on yourself, you will probably _________.
A．discourage others B．work hard to realize it
C．be more confident than before D．have high expectations on others
41．The word “detrimental” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________ ”.
A．harmful B．unusual C．disappointing D．impossible
42．The writer probably agrees that _________.
A．it’s wise to ask your friends to help you set expectations
B．stress is very likely to help you achieve your expectations
C．parents should avoid setting expectations on their children
D．we should set expectations on others according to the reality
43．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A．To offer advice on how to realize expectations.
B．To explain why people like to set high expectations.
C．To lead people to take a right attitude towards expectations.
D．To encourage people to set high expectations for themselves.
【答案】40．B 41．A 42．D 43．C
【分析】本文主要论述了设定高期望的好处与坏处，通过举例子，引导人们对期望要采取正确的态度。
40．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When you have high expectations for something, you’ll probably behave in ways which can help make your expectations come true.”可知，当你对某件事有很高的期望时，你的行为方式可能会帮助你实现你的期望。结合下文的举例“For example, if you believe that you’re able to score an A in a test, you will probably spend a lot of time working on it.例如，如果你相信自己能在考试中得A，你可能会花很多时间在这上面。”可说明，如果你对自己有很高的期望，你可能会通过努力工作来实现它。故选B。
41．词义猜测题。根据下文“Having high expectations sometimes can cause psychological (心理的) problems, such as worry and unhappiness.”可知，过高的期望有时会导致心理问题，比如忧虑和不快乐。这说的是设定高期望，可能带来的坏处；根据上文“While there’s plenty of good that comes from setting high expectations...尽管设定高期望有很多好处……”可推断，此处表达的是高期望带来的坏处，即尽管设定高期望有很多好处，但过高的期望和不切实际的期望是“有害的”。因此推断，画线部分单词的意思是“有害的”，选项A“harmful”意为“有害的”。故选A。
42．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“To avoid this situation, you should accept your friends for who they are and set your expectations around reality.”可知，为了避免这种情况，你应该接受你的朋友是谁，并围绕现实设定你的期望。由此可推断，作者表达的是我们要根据现实设定期望。故选D。
43．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要论述了设定高期望的好处与坏处，通过举例子，引导人们对期望要采取正确的态度。故选C。

There’s no question that Americans love both dogs and cats. About 48 percent of families in the U.S.own dogs and 38 percent own cats. But one thing many people can’t agree on is which animal makes a better pet.
Cat lovers say their pets are easier to care for than dogs. They point out that cats don’t jump on visitors. Also, it’s cheaper to own a cat. Cat owners spend $ 300 to $ 800 less a year than dog owners do. Besides, dogs mess up the house by chewing(咬) things like shoes.
Still, dog owners say the money they spend is worth it. They argue that dogs are more social than cats. Also, scientists say that dogs are smarter than cats. Dog lovers point out that dogs help people, too. For example, dogs can be trained as service pets for people who are disabled.
Here’s what two kids think.
I have both cats and dogs, but I’d rather own a cat at any time. Dogs are noisy and make a mess. Cats are much quieter, and they’re better companions(伴侣).Cats are the perfect size for sitting on my knees. Also, it’s easier to take care of cats.
Michelle, 12, New York
There are many reasons why dogs are called “man’s best friend”. They are playful and love their owners, and you can teach them cool tricks. Cats mostly just care about eating and sleeping. Also, dogs can be service pets and even lifesavers. A cat isn’t going to protect your home from burglars(窃贼).
Logan, 14, Washington D．C．
48．Families with dogs are more than those with cats in the U.S.
A．48% B．38% C．86% D．10%
49．In Paragraph 3, an example is given to explain that dogs .
A．can help people B．are smarter than cats
C．can be trained easily D．are more social than cats
50．From the passage, we can know Logan .
A．is 2 years younger than Michelle
B．lives in the same city as Michelle
C．has both cats and dogs like Michelle
D．has a different opinion from Michelle
【答案】48．D 49．A 50．D

48．细节理解题。根据第一段“There’s no question that Americans love both dogs and cats. About 48 percent of families in the U.S.own dogs and 38 percent own cats”可知美国人既爱狗也爱猫。大约48%的美国家庭养狗，38%的家庭养猫。所以养狗的家庭要比养猫的家庭多了10%，故选D。
49．细节理解题。根据“Dog lovers point out that dogs help people, too. For example, dogs can be trained as service pets for people who are disabled.”可知给出了一个例子来解释狗可以帮助到人们，故选A。
50．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I have both cats and dogs, but I’d rather own a cat at any time. Dogs are noisy and make a mess.”以及倒数第一段“ Cats mostly just care about eating and sleeping. Also, dogs can be service pets and even lifesavers. A cat isn’t going to protect your home from burglars(窃贼).”可知Logan和Michelle的观点不同，故选D。

There is great excitement and argument（争论）over Artificial Intelligence（AI, 人工智能）. The argument about whether robots will replace teachers in the classroom is very heated. Some people think it is sure to happen in the next ten years. Others think that the value a good teacher brings, not only to the classroom setting. but in developing a child’s confidence and creativity outside lessons, cannot be easily replaced.
AI is not new for us and is already being used successfully in many fields, such as medicine, science and so on. So what does this mean for our future In my view, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively. Can AI possibly cut down the teaching work in the future, too Of course. Our teachers are always busy preparing materials for their lessons, Just imagine how happy they would be if they don’t have to copy hundreds of paper, but instead, have this task or others done by machines.
However, most importantly, I do not believe AI will be able to imitate the human mental condition totally, especially emotional intelligence（情商）. What makes learning unforgettable is shared experience, human interaction（互相作用）, and long-lasting positive relationships. For example, experienced teachers can comfort a student if he has suffered a serious loss. But it hasn’t been proved that robots can imitate this well.
I also believe we need to continue to celebrate our kids’ personality and their ability not only to make decisions but also make the right decisions. These are skills that they can get as they get more life experience and are given the space to experiment.
To what degree can teachers use AI in their classes You can have all the data（数据）you like with the help of AI, but great teachers will also need to depend on their own feelings.
51．The writer starts the passage by ________.
A．telling stories B．comparing views
C．raising questions D．giving suggestions
52．We can learn that some people think a good teacher might be able to ________.
A．use AI as much as possible in the class teaching
B．help kids think more freely and creatively than AI
C．have high intelligence to deal with the heavy teaching work
D．develop a child’s confidence and creativity outside the lessons
53．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．Why teachers can be replaced in classrooms.
B．There is argument over Artificial Intelligence.
C．How helpful AI can be to both students and teachers.
D．AI is only being used successfully in education.

C． D．
55．Which example can be shown that the human teacher is important
A．A teacher gives lessons to students.
B．A teacher use modern way to teach students.
C．A teacher comforts a student who failed the exam.
D．A teacher checks hundreds of paper by himself every day.

52．细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“Others think that the value a good teacher brings, not only to the classroom setting. but in developing a child’s confidence and creativity outside lessons, cannot be easily replaced.”可知，另一些人认为，一个好老师所带来的价值，不仅是在课堂上，而且在培养孩子的自信和课外创造力方面，是不能轻易取代的，D选项表述正确，故选D。
53．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“In my view, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively. Can AI possibly cut down the teaching work in the future, too Of course. Our teachers are always busy preparing materials for their lessons.”可知，这是在讲工智能能帮助学生和老师，C项“人工智能对学生和老师都有很大帮助”符合文意。故选C。
54．篇章结构题。第一段总领全文引出话题，第二段是讲了AI的好处，第三段指出AI不会代替人的精神，第四段讲了要鼓励孩子的个性和能力，第五段与第一段呼应，所以短文是总分总的结构。故选A。
55．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“For example, experienced teachers can comfort a student if he has suffered a serious loss. But it hasn’t been proved that robots can imitate this well.”可知，老师可以安慰一个考试失败的学生，但AI做不到。故选C。

Many of you have probably had this experience: You get on a train and are ready to take a rest or read a book, only to find that the passenger in front of you is watching a TV show on his pad without earphones. The child next to you won’t stop crying. And the old lady behind you talks on her phone during the whole trip.
Wish the train could be less noisy There might be good news for you. The Bejing-Shanghai high- speed rail lines will have “quiet” carriages(车厢) starting from Dec 23.
In quiet carriages, videos on the train will be kept quiet and notices will be given at a lower volume (音量). Doors at the end of the carriage will be kept closed to reduce noise from other carriages. Train workers will make sure that passengers remain quiet and follow the rules. Passengers who promise to follow the rules can choose the quiet carriages when book ing their tickets.
Although many Internet users are in favor of the new service, there has also been a hot discussion. Some people have pointed out that this kind of quiet environment should be offered in all carriages because having quiet carriages might make people feel that they don’t need to be quiet in non - quiet carriages. Besides, people just wonder how quiet they should be in quiet carriages and they may have questions such as “What if I snore(打呼噜) ” and “Can we talk to our friends if we need to ”

56．推理判断题。根据第二段“Wish the train could be less noisy There might be good news for you. The Bejing-Shanghai high- speed rail lines will have “quiet” carriages starting from Dec 23”可知作者讲述火车上很吵闹的经历是为了引出北京到上海高铁路段将开始实施“安静”车厢。故选B。
57．词义判断题。根据第四段“Although many Internet users are in favor of the new service, there has also been a hot discussion. Some people have pointed out that this kind of quiet environment should be offered in all carriages”可知表达很多网民赞成这项新的服务，但是也有一些热议，有些人指出这种安静的环境应该在所有车厢实行。“in favor of”表示“赞成”。故选A。

Li Dan Earlier last year, I liked to lie in bed and watch videos instead of studying. This influenced my studies and made my grades worse. So my parents set up a camera to keep an eye on me. It worked. With the camera watching, I had to do my homework first and make plans for studying at home.

Passenger ships, trade ships, and fishing boats are a normal part of life on the open sea. However, all their activity creates a great deal of noise underwater. Scientists from the United States and Canada recently reported their observations (观察) that the ocean is getting noisier.
Scientists at the University of Victoria have studied the recordings recorded with equipment placed underwater near the busy shipping lanes off Vancouver Island in Canada. They say engine(发动机) noise is continuous during the day, and a little less strong at night.
Scientists say it is likely that whales must call out more loudly to be heard over this noise. The noise could make it more difficult for orca whales to find food. The orcas find fish by producing clicking sounds and other noises. Loud engine noise could be interfering with their efforts.
Michael Jasny is a policy expert for the Natural Resources Defense Council. He says the rise of underwater noise is limiting the ability of whales to communicate.
Shipping noise falls across the same frequencies (频率) that these animals use for all their vital(重大的，紧要的) behaviors — for feeding, for finding mates, for avoiding predators (捕食者) and for going ahead.”
Mr. Jasny says sound travels very effectively underwater. And it is not just whales he is worried about.
“The whole web of life in the oceans depends on sound. And as more and more research has been done, it’s been very clear that what we have on our hands is really a major problem. It’s a serious problem. It’s a global problem. Fortunately, in shipping we have a problem that has a solution.”
One answer is to design quieter ships. America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, has four new ships that are made to be quieter. Michael Bahtiarian works for Noise Control Engineering, the company which helped design the boats.
Mr. Bahtiarian says the main source of noise pollution is the propeller(螺旋桨). Better shaped propellers and ship designs can help to reduce noise. NOAA’s ships also have costly engines, which produce less noise. Mr. Bahtiarian says the technology to make quieter ships does exist and has been used in the army for some time.
8．The underlined phrase “interfering with” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A．controlling B．troubling C．encouraging D．stopping
9．We can tell that whales depend on sound for ________.
A．communicating with their mates B．stopping predators from fishing
C．fighting against the shipping noise D．telling the night time from the day
10．From the passage we can learn that ________.
A．expensive engines produce less noise in the ocean
B．many animals in the ocean depend on sound for living
C．people should stop making big ships in order to save whales
D．it is difficult to find a way to stop noise pollution in the ocean
11．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．The Ocean is Getting Noisier. B．Whales and Ships in the Ocean.
C．Whales are Facing a Serious Problem. D．Quiet Ships are Needed in the Ocean.

A kid once wrote to me and said he was sad about being short. He said his classmates often picked on him.
I know how he feels because I’m just 165 cm tall myself. Growing up, I was always the shortest. However, you can’t change your height.
So what can you do about it Tyrion, who is a short person, is a character in my favorite book, Game of Thrones. He once said, “Never forget what you are … the world will not. Try to make it your advantage. Then it can never be your weakness.”
One way to make your weakness into advantage is to make jokes. Make jokes about yourself before others can. In that way, they can never hurt you. You can also try to be positive (乐观的) and look at things in a different way. I might have messy (凌乱的) hair, but my friend with no hair might wish he had it!
12．What does the underlined phrase “pick on” mean
A．Be helpful to someone. B．Be unkind to someone.
C．Help someone pick things up. D．Put someone’s things in a bag.
13．The writer used Tyrion’s words to ________.
A．show us how Tyrion enjoys his life B．introduce a book about being short
C．tell us more about short men D．tell us how to deal with our weaknesses

A．Because others can never hurt us in this way.
B．Because others will laugh at us in this way.
C．Because others will let us down in this way.
D．Because others will make friends with us in this way.
15．What’s the best title for the passage

Imagine you are ordering for your roommates. You remember Laura prefers banana ice cream to chocolate. It could be a fact for it was proved by observing her behavior. However, the ice cream preference could be an opinion that shows her personal choice. While it’s nice to think the world is clearly divided into matters of fact and matters of opinion, it’s not always the case.
What we think are facts — those things we think are true — can end up being wrong. Calling something a fact is not a promise of infallibility (无误). The famous writer, Asimov expressed this in his article The Relativity of Wrong. For him, the person who thinks the Earth is flat is wrong, and so is the person who thinks the Earth is a sphere. A fact is usually used to represent the best knowledge we have at a certain time.
Then again, calling something an opinion doesn't mean an escape to the fairyland of wishful thinking. If we think of an opinion as one person’s view on a subject, then many opinions can be solid. For example, it’s my opinion that science provides us with a powerful tool to help understand our place in the universe. It’s not a fact that science does so, but it works for me.
But we can be much clearer in our meaning if we divide things into matters of fact and matters of opinion. Matters of fact are limited to empirical statements (实证表达), such as what the boiling point of water is. Matters of opinion are non-empirical statements, which include questions of value and of personal preference such as whether it's better to eat more vegetables than meat.
Matters of opinion can be informed by matters of fact (for example, finding out that vegetables are rich in vitamins can change my food preference), but finally they are not answered by matters of fact (why does it matter to me that vegetables are rich in vitamins )
Opinions are not just pale shadows (影子) of facts. They are judgements and conclusions. They can be the result of careful consideration in areas for which empirical research is not enough or ill-suited.
Facts and opinions shouldn’t be put in opposition to each other, as they can both play a necessary role in our decision-making. But that’s just my opinion, not a fact.
16．The writer mentions Asimov’s article in Paragraph 2 to show ________.
A．different opinions result in heated arguments
B．repeating facts can make others agree with us
C．what we take as facts may turn out to be wrong
D．it is difficult to predict how facts change over time
17．The word “informed” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.
A．influenced B．questioned C．replaced D．proved
18．The writer probably agrees that ________.
A．opinions are more important than facts
B．facts and opinions are not against each other
C．opinions can be the results of wishful thinking
D．facts play an important role in scientific research

My dear boys and girls, good morning. Today I’m going to talk to you about my understanding of learning history.
Many of you may think it is a terrible thing to study history. You may often wonder why we students should study something that has nothing to do with our own lives. If you think that way, I should say you are far from the truth.
In fact, if we study history, we can learn quite a lot about personal stories and events of people just like us. The people who came before us helped build and develop the country we are living in. Their ideas often solved many of our problems and troubles. Studying the past helps us to understand what our ancestors’ (祖先) lives were like. And it also helps us to see how their experiences have shaped our own life.
To be honest, ▲ . Some of what we study in history helps us understand the mistakes of the past. And these mistakes will help people not to do the same wrong things. People often learn from the past to have a better future.
Whether we like the subject of history or not, we must understand the importance of the events and the people who came before us. Our ancestors’ decisions have influenced our own life. Similarly, the decisions of our own generation will finally influence those who come after us. In this only way, the world is truly connected.
History is not just a study of the past. History is the study of people, places, and events that can influence the future.
Now do you still think studying history is a sad thing Or do you have any doubt about learning history If you have any questions, just feel free to ask.
19．If we study history, we can learn that ________.
A．history has nothing to do with our own lives
B．our ancestors helped build and develop our country
C．our ancestors’ ideas solved all our problems and troubles
D．our ancestors’ experiences can’t shape our own life
20．Which of the following can be put in the ▲ in Paragraph 4
A．the mistakes of the past won’t help us B．I don’t like the idea of learning history
C．it is not easy to learn the subject of history D．not everything that happened in the past is good
21．The writer wrote the passage to ________.
A．introduce some important people in history
B．develop students’ interest in learning history
C．explain different people’s understanding of history
D．show the relationship between the past and the future

Isn’t fast food delicious Aren’t fast food restaurants cool ... The answer to these questions is yes.
However, there are growing facts that fast food is one of the worst parts of modern life. And studies have shown that burgers and fried chicken, which we enjoy so much, can cause a lot of health problems.
In spite of (尽管) this, why are fast food restaurants so attractive (吸引人的) The first and most important reason is that their service is fast. Their staff (员工) are friendly and very smart-looking in their clean and bright uniforms (制服). Moreover, most fast food restaurants are near places that people always pass by. It is so easy to grab a burger and eat on the way to work.
Fast food is often so conveniently packed (包装方便) that it will not cause a mess even if you stand and eat it. Fast food restaurants are also very clean. A lot of clever ads (广告) have made them the coolest places in town, but none of them has ever told and will never tell you that too much fast food is not good for your health.
Such attractive places are selling junk food! Isn’t it a pity Is there a way to change the fast food restaurants into special places where you get the best possible, healthy and fresh food
Well, why not
As people realize the health problems that fast food causes, it is quite likely that fast food restaurants may go out of date. It may happen sooner or later.
Therefore, instead of resisting (抵制) fast food restaurants, a better idea may be to persuade (说服) them to change their menu! Fast food restaurants can be places to go to when you want to eat something that will be good for your body. If they could combine (结合) healthy food with their speed of service, delicious tastes and comfortable feelings, that will be the next best thing on the earth for the human beings!

Many of you have probably had this experience: You get on a train and are ready to take a nap or read a book, only to find that the passenger in front of you is watching a TV show on his tablet without headphones. The child next to you won’t stop crying. And the old lady behind you talks on her phone during the whole trip.
Wish the train could be less noisy There might be a solution for you. The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, one of China’s busiest high-speed rail lines, have had “quiet” carriages starting since Dec 23, 2020.
In quiet carriages, on board videos are muted (静音) and announcements are made at a lower volume (音量). Doors at the ends of the carriage are kept closed to reduce noise from other carriages. Train attendants (乘务员) are responsible for making sure that passengers remain quiet and follow the rules.
Passengers who are willing to obey the rules can choose the quiet carriages when booking their tickets, according to China’s national railway operator.
Some people have pointed out that this kind of quiet environment should be offered in all carriages. They say that having quiet carriages might give people the impression that they don’t need to be quiet in non-quiet carriages.
Quiet carriages might be more enjoyable. While some internet users are in favor of the new service, it has also sparked discussion about just how quiet travelers should be in quiet carriages. Many people have raised questions such as “What if I snore (打呼噜) ” and “Can we talk to our travel companions if we need to ”

In France, Italy and some western countries, cheek (脸颊) kissing is a way of greeting others. But because of the COVID-19, this custom is a question on people’s minds now.
More and more people dislike cheek kissing in modem society. In a survey in March, 2021, half of the people who were interviewed said they would stop using cheek kissing in the future. And 78% would no longer use it with strangers. Men, however, only kissed other men if they were close friends or family.
The question of whether cheek kissing is here to stay or go is not just a matter of changing personal greeting ways, but how a nation expresses itself. In France, many people are finding themselves dislike to kiss when they see each other. They choose to bump (碰撞) arms to greet each other. Italians choose to greet friends with chest-to-chest contact (胸与胸的接触) but with heads turning away from each other. It is believed that close body contact can bring people together.
It’s important to note that cheek kissing hasn’t been around forever. In fact, this kind of social custom has been shut down before because of diseases. For example, at the time that the Black Death broke out in Europe in the 14th century, people stopped kissing each other as a way of greeting. It wasn’t until about a century ago that cheek kissing was brought back. So, is cheek kissing on its way to becoming a relic(历史遗迹) again

How do you treat your books Do you use a bookmark to avoid folding(折叠)a page and keep your books tidily on a shelf Or perhaps you pay less attention to their condition — you’re happy to take notes down the margins(页边空白) of a page. What’s your idea — do you think they should always be kept in good condition
Yes. Books deserve our respect. It is important to care for your books. This is especially true if the book costs a lot of money or is given to you as a present. It also won’t last long if they are damaged(破坏). If a book is full of ripped(撕破的) pages, it is less possible that a friend will want to pick it up and read. If you donate it to a charity shop, it is less possible that someone will buy it. Over time, treating books badly could become a bad habit.
NO. It doesn’t matter if you just read. One of the great things about an actual book is that readers can make it their own with notes. If it’s a gift, you can write a nice message. It can make a book feel personal and special to you. It doesn’t matter if this means that a book isn't in perfect condition — you can always buy a new copy if the old one gets too damaged. In the end, writers just want people to read their stories: they don’t mind how or where people do it.
What is the passage about
The discussion about how to treat our books with bookmarks.
B．The discussion about whether we should keep books well.

If you’re working to become better or hoping to make a change, you’ll probably hear your family and friends say “go big or go home”. But sometimes big goals can shoot you in the foot. So, is it good to set high expectations
Having high expectations could be beneficial. It can motivate (激励) you and increase your productivity. When you have high expectations for something, you’ll probably behave in ways which can help make your expectations come true. For example, if you believe that you’re able to score an A in a test, you will probably spend a lot of time working on it. And when you have to complete a written task before the deadline, having expectations on yourself can motivate you to keep on going. Another benefit of setting high expectations is that as you start meeting your expectations, you’ll be even more motivated to set higher goals for yourself. In addition, having high expectations on yourself doesn’t only benefit you. You’re likely to encourage others to be more productive! While there’s plenty of good that comes from setting high expectations, going overboard and being unrealistic in expectations can be detrimental.
Having high expectations sometimes can cause psychological (心理的) problems, such as worry and unhappiness. The findings of a study showed that a group of students who were expected to do perfectly by their parents experienced serious stress and anxiety (焦虑). Great expectations can also lead to great disappointment. This is especially true when you set expectations on other people whose actions you cannot control. For example, if you’re feeling alone and you call up your friends, you surely expect them to make you feel better. When this fails to happen, you will feel disappointed and displeased with your friends. To avoid this situation, you should accept your friends for who they are and set your expectations around reality.
It is hard to manage expectations, but the main goal is to find the perfect balance in setting a more realistic and achievable expectation. Learn to let go of things, especially when they don’t turn out the way you hoped. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to celebrate your victories no matter how small they are.
40．If you have a high expectation on yourself, you will probably _________.
A．discourage others B．work hard to realize it
C．be more confident than before D．have high expectations on others
41．The word “detrimental” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________ ”.
A．harmful B．unusual C．disappointing D．impossible
42．The writer probably agrees that _________.
A．it’s wise to ask your friends to help you set expectations
B．stress is very likely to help you achieve your expectations
C．parents should avoid setting expectations on their children
D．we should set expectations on others according to the reality
43．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A．To offer advice on how to realize expectations.
B．To explain why people like to set high expectations.
C．To lead people to take a right attitude towards expectations.
D．To encourage people to set high expectations for themselves.

There’s no question that Americans love both dogs and cats. About 48 percent of families in the U.S.own dogs and 38 percent own cats. But one thing many people can’t agree on is which animal makes a better pet.
Cat lovers say their pets are easier to care for than dogs. They point out that cats don’t jump on visitors. Also, it’s cheaper to own a cat. Cat owners spend $ 300 to $ 800 less a year than dog owners do. Besides, dogs mess up the house by chewing(咬) things like shoes.
Still, dog owners say the money they spend is worth it. They argue that dogs are more social than cats. Also, scientists say that dogs are smarter than cats. Dog lovers point out that dogs help people, too. For example, dogs can be trained as service pets for people who are disabled.
Here’s what two kids think.
I have both cats and dogs, but I’d rather own a cat at any time. Dogs are noisy and make a mess. Cats are much quieter, and they’re better companions(伴侣).Cats are the perfect size for sitting on my knees. Also, it’s easier to take care of cats.
Michelle, 12, New York
There are many reasons why dogs are called “man’s best friend”. They are playful and love their owners, and you can teach them cool tricks. Cats mostly just care about eating and sleeping. Also, dogs can be service pets and even lifesavers. A cat isn’t going to protect your home from burglars(窃贼).

There is great excitement and argument（争论）over Artificial Intelligence（AI, 人工智能）. The argument about whether robots will replace teachers in the classroom is very heated. Some people think it is sure to happen in the next ten years. Others think that the value a good teacher brings, not only to the classroom setting. but in developing a child’s confidence and creativity outside lessons, cannot be easily replaced.
AI is not new for us and is already being used successfully in many fields, such as medicine, science and so on. So what does this mean for our future In my view, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively. Can AI possibly cut down the teaching work in the future, too Of course. Our teachers are always busy preparing materials for their lessons, Just imagine how happy they would be if they don’t have to copy hundreds of paper, but instead, have this task or others done by machines.
However, most importantly, I do not believe AI will be able to imitate the human mental condition totally, especially emotional intelligence（情商）. What makes learning unforgettable is shared experience, human interaction（互相作用）, and long-lasting positive relationships. For example, experienced teachers can comfort a student if he has suffered a serious loss. But it hasn’t been proved that robots can imitate this well.
I also believe we need to continue to celebrate our kids’ personality and their ability not only to make decisions but also make the right decisions. These are skills that they can get as they get more life experience and are given the space to experiment.
To what degree can teachers use AI in their classes You can have all the data（数据）you like with the help of AI, but great teachers will also need to depend on their own feelings.

Confucius (孔子) had a lot to say about how to live a good life. What’s your favorite Confucius saying Students from Medfield School posted their favorite sayings on this class webpage.
Tam -“Do not do to others as you do not wish to be done to you.”
I like it best. To me, it’s the most important life rule. Just the other day, I was with a friend in class and she started talking badly about a classmate of ours. I kept on thinking about how bad our classmate would feel if he knew she was saying such terrible things! I know I wouldn’t like it!
Rosa -“In the company of two others, I can always find one worthy of being my teacher.”
It is my favorite. I like to remind(提醒) myself of this saying when practicing with classmates in school. I can learn a lot from others, even from their mistakes. This saying gives me courage and reminds me to pay attention.
Andre-“To go too far is as bad as to fall short.”
This is my favorite. It means that to do too much of something is as bad as not doing enough. For example, I wanted to lose a few kilos for a big party so I didn’t eat enough and exercised all the time. In the end, I got really sick and couldn’t even go to the party! For me, it’s important to find a balance(平衡) to achieve my dreams.
