阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
A
It can be tough to pull kids away from their computers and mobile devices these days. While they’re playing games, wouldn’t it be great if they could be learning at the same time Good educational apps offer fun challenges that teach specific grade-level skills. Here are four apps that combine fun and learning.
Understanding Math ($3.99; iOS)
Understanding Math goes beyond basic comprehension to gain a deeper understanding of the whys and hows of math. The app tracks your child’s progress to determine strengths and weaknesses in different skill areas, and you can customize (改制) your child’s learning experience to suit the needs.
Word Creativity Kit ($2.99; iOS)
Word Creativity Kit aims not only to make creative writing fun but also build up grammar rules. The app presents a series of words from seven categories, such as space or fantasy. Kids add their own words to finish the complete thoughts that these words have inspired.
Barefoot World Atlas ($4.99; iOS)
Barefoot World Atlas helps kids learn about geography and world cultures with a touch of the screen. Each region features a set of subtopics from wildlife and natural features to native, and architecture. These facts and illustrations are delivered in photographs, sounds, and hundreds of mini videos.
My Grades & Homework ($80.99; iOS)
A combination of grades and homework tracker, My Grades &Homework can help your child stay organized and on top of the progress in school. A convenient calendar and course list format offer a glance at your child’s assignment schedule that he or she might not normally get from standard homework planners.

Imagine a fire burning in your mouth and stomach. Now, imagine a bottle of yogurt. This yogurt is your only means (方法) of escape. The pain is extreme great, but still, you manage to hang on. Now, imagine 12 other contestants (参赛者) to your left and right, each suffering from the same great heat. Finally, imagine a huge crowd of people watching the impressive view.
This is what it was like for me when I first took part in the Chili Pepper Eating Contest of 2019. Hosted by The Beijinger as part of the weekend Hot Spicy Festival in Beijing, the contest was an open invitational, drawing in those brave enough to test their passion and willpower for eating spicy chilies.
Before coming to China in 2017, I had no idea chili eating contests like this even existed. I knew about food eating competitions, sure; but I had no idea that you could become a superstar just by eating chilies. It was also my first time getting on stage in front of such a large crowd, so there were butterflies in my stomach even before I introduced chilies into the mix.
Since I was young, I grew up eating policy curries (咖喱) with my dad---perhaps quite unusual by American Midwestern standards. Sometimes, we ordered the curry so spicy it would make our faces red as tears streamed down. But, in truth, I loved the unique feelings eating spicy food gave me. These feelings were what led me to find myself on the stage that day.
Nobody believed that I would be able to pull through. But, to everyone’s amazement (and even my own), I. won! And then I won again the following year in 2020! While the grand prize was welcomed, the satisfaction of knowing I was a champion of something I loved doing and was good at was rewarded enough.
24. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about
A. People’s feelings when eating chilies. B. The author’s experience at a chili eating contest.
C. The popularity of the chili eating contest. D. People’s problems when eating chilies.
25. What do we know about the Eating Contest
A. It attracted foolish people. B. It was open to strong men.
C. It weakened people’s will power. D. It could make people well-known.
26. Why did the author like eating spicy food when he was young
A. It brought him a different experience. B. It was a reminder of his happy time.
C. It was a tradition in his hometown. D. It was convenient to buy spicy food.
27. How did the author feel about his performance in the contests
A. Relaxed and satisfied. B. Surprised and proud.
C. Shocked and regretful. D. Disappointed and annoyed.
C
Parents are an enormously powerful force in the lives of children. Whether Johnny can read, whether Johnny knows right from wrong, whether Johnny is a happy, well-adjusted kid or shy and bad-tempered, has a whole lot to do with the kind of parenting Johnny has received. If Johnny’s mom and dad have been able to come through with lasting, determining loving attention, the odds (可能性) are that Johnny is on track to become a productive, compassionate citizen. If they have not, Johnny is in trouble—and so is our nation.
Thirty years ago Chicago sociologist James S. Coleman showed that parental involvement mattered far more in determining school success than any quality of the formal education system. Across a wide range of subject areas, in literature, science and reading, Coleman estimated that the parent was twice as powerful as the school in determining achievement at age fourteen. Psychologist Lawrence Steinberg, who recently completed a six-year study of 20,000 teenagers in nine different communities, confirms the importance of parents. Steinberg shows that one out of three parents is “seriously disengaged” from his or her adolescent’s education, and this is the primary reason why so many American students perform below their potential—and below students in other rich countries.
A weight of evidence now shows obvious links between absent parents and a wide range of behavioral and emotional problems in children. A 2017 study of 90,000 teenagers—the Add Health Project undertaken by the Carolina Population Center and the Adolescent Health Program at the University of Minnesota—found that youngsters are less likely to get hopeless, use drugs or become involved in crime when they spent significant time with their parents. This study found that only the physical presence of a parent in the home after school at dinner and at bedtime significantly reduces the incidence of risky behavior among teenagers.
28. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. Children should be taught to be successful in life.
B. Children are affected by many factors during the growth.
C. Parents’ character has a deep influence on children.
D. Parents should be strict with their children about behaviors.
79. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph I refer to
A. Odds. B. Parents. C. Citizens. D. Children.
30. What’s the purpose of Lawrence Steinberg’s research
A. To know the importance of parents’ company. B. To find out why there are so many crimes.
C. To get ways to prevent teenagers’ bad behaviors. D. To find links between parents’ education and crimes.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards parents’ company with children
A. Dismissive. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Unclear.
D
Just wanting a hamburger, Hembert Figueroa was surprised to learn the dollar bills in his pocket were no good at Dos Toros Taqueria in Manhattan.
Figueroa, an ironworker, had to stand to the side, holding his hamburger, until a cashier helped him find another customer willing to pay for his meal with a card in exchange for cash. “I had money but I couldn’t pay,” he said.
Cash-free stores are causing a backlash among some activists who say the practice looks down upon people like Figueroa, who either lack bank accounts or rely on cash for many transactions (交易).
Supporters for banning cashless stores worry that technology is moving too fast for the 6.5% of American households—8.4 million—that do not have a bank account.
Business owners who go cashless say they are following the lead of majority of customers who are abandoning cash payments. Retailers are under pressure to satisfy customers with higher expectations for fast and convenient service, driven by companies like Amazon and Uber.
Leo Kremer, co-worker of Dos Toros, said the amount of cash transactions at his stores fell from about 50% a decade ago to 15% last year. Cash transactions made handling cash especially troublesome. Before going cashless, Dos Toros locations were robbed twice.
Financial experts who work with low-income people caution against making assumptions about the shopping preferences or buying power of those who rely on cash. Justine Zinkin, CEO of Neighborhood Trust Financial Partners, said the greater urgency in the digital time is finding ways to better include low-income people in the banking system, such as urging banks to offer no-fee starter accounts and encouraging banks to open branches in underserved areas.
32. What trouble was Hembert Figueroa faced with at Dos Toros Taqueria
A. He failed to find a cashier for help. B. He couldn’t make a deal with cash.
C. He took no money or a card with him. D. He was caught carrying false bank notes.
33. What does the underlined word “backlash” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Strong disagreement. B. Warm welcome. C. Heated debate. D. High expectation.
34. What did Justine Zinkin suggest according to the text
A. Making regulations to ban cashless stores.
B. Raising the buying power of low-income people.
C. Finding ways for banks to adapt with the digital time.
D. Making banks more accessible to low-income people.
35. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. An introduction of cashless stores, a new form of transaction.
B. An introduction of cashless stores, a production of new technology.
C. A discussion about whether cashless stores are lawful.
D. A discussion about whether cashless stores should be banned.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。
Competition is a huge part of our culture. We encourage our athletes to secure victory on the field. 36 Sportsmanship is an essential trait of a strong athlete. Here are a few tips on how you can help your little athlete experience a loss just as gracefully as he/she can experience a victorious win.
Focus on improvement, rather than on the win.
Instead of focusing on the win of the game, motivate your child to focus on individual or collective improvement. 37 Make mention of how well the team executed a play on the field. In doing this, your child will learn to see the value in the entire experience.
Be a role model.
As parents, it can be difficult to keep quiet, especially after the loss of a game, but when the game is over, your child is observing how you respond to every win and every loss. Therefore, it is essential to demonstrate a positive attitude after each game. Be the role model that your child needs in order to achieve greatness on and off the field. 38
39
Victory instills excitement and pride. After a win, however, sportsmanship is a vital part of a young athlete’s journey. Enthusiastically encourage your child to shake hands with his/her opponent. Teach them that once the final play of the game is over, the opposing team is no longer a rival, but rather their peers. 40 The practice of shifting focus from winning enables your child to appreciate other valuable elements of the game.
A. Encourage sportsmanship.
B. Ignore victory intentionally.
C. Win with humility, loose with grace, and do both with dignity.
D. Inspire your child to reflect on what skills he/she has improved.
E. However, it is important to teach children to gracefully win and lose.
F. Each of your demonstrations in life is a teachable moment for your child!
G. Additionally, encourage your child to learn from some of the strengths of the other team.

After having a child, I found my regular exercise interrupted. Not only was I busy, but I also lacked the motivation and ambition. Solo gym sessions or some quick 41 following the DVD while the baby was sleeping didn’t 42 me at all. So I decided to sign up for a hiking trip in Peru, hoping that it would get me 43 again.
Looking over my travel arrangements before I 45 , I scanned phrases such as “3-hour hike through primitive forests” and “sliding with a rope down waterfalls”, and I started to feel a little 45 .
However, as we made our way through the forests and were 46 with amazing views of awesome waterfalls, this team of strangers 47 me to go on. Being physically active with a group motivated me to 48 the summit or the valley below-rather than simply lying down on the forest floor and giving up, which I might have done if I were 49 .
Experts 50 my experience: Group exercise can really start a new attitude toward fitness. “People get a better workout in a group than they do on their own,” said Allison Kimmel, a group 51 instructor. That’s because other people 52 both support and competition. “Humans are 53 animals and the shared experience of facing a challenge together is compelling (不可抗拒的),” said David Ezell, the CEO of fitness provider Darien Wellness.
With the 54 of a group, I’m slowly getting back into a 55 lifestyle.

Recent studies show that the amount of time people spend looking at screens is rising. We live in an era where mass media is 56 (ready) accessible and at times, it can influence how we see the world around us. Many experts agree that too much 57 (expose) to mass media can have negative 58 (effect) on your psychological well-being. It can influence how you feel about yourself and life, 59 it impacts what messages others consider 60 (be) true about healthy living.
For example, advertisements often feature beautiful, 61 (wealth) individuals or groups that enjoy their lives by eating rich foods and 63 (spend) lots of money on flashy clothes and houses. Such images may appeal to someone who does not know any different leaders, parents, or peers who eat poorly and do not have much money. Advertisements create a sense of urgency, 63 can make you feel like you must have what everyone else has before you don’t consider 64 (you) part of the ”in-group”. It is easy to fall into a habit of buying whatever new thing comes along, without thinking too hard about 65 it is worth it.
So be a critical mass media reader.

67.. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A light knock on the door brought me from my kitchen. Because we had just moved into the neighborhood, I couldn’t imagine who it would be. Opening the door, an old man stood there, who was dressed in dirty clothing and wearing dirty rubber boots. His hand hung a plastic bag.
“Can I help you ” I asked.
“Would you like to buy some fresh garden vegetables ” His blue eyes were hopeful.
“Are they from your garden ” I looked inside his plastic bag and saw some carrots with soil.
“Yes,” His voice was soft. “And I can get some apples from a tree in my yard. Would you like some of those, too ”
My heart softened, and I wondered if he was badly in need of the bit of money. With ad sigh, I said, “Please step inside and I’ll get my money.”
The next day, he knocked at our door again. This time, my little four-year-old daughter got there first. “Oh, hello. Would you like to come in for tea ” Without a second thought, the old man stepped inside and held out a broken basket with several bruised (擦伤的) apples. “From my tree,” he said, removing a worn cap. “You might like to make a pie.”
The three of us sat at the kitchen table and drank our tea. It was obvious that my daughter liked hosting a visitor in her never-ending questions. “What is your name Where do you live Why are your clothes so dirty ”
The homeless-looking man laughed as he answered each question. His name was Mr. Locket and he lived around the corner. His wife had passed away several years before, and his children all lived far away. He was lonely. His need for company had sent him door to door selling fruit and vegetables. Ours was the only door opened to him that day.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已经为你写好。
When he finished the tea, he said he had to go home and promised to return the next day.
One day, a small envelope was delivered to our home—a letter from the old man’s daughter.

When he finished the tea, he said he had to go home and promised to return the next day. Putting on his worn cap, Mr. Locket left, wearing a happy smile and waving us goodbye. The next day, he visited us as he had promised. Holding out a basket of good apples, he sat at the kitchen table and made apple pies with us. My daughter’s never-ending questions brought him a good laugh as he answered each one. The pleasant days flying by, the old man had to move to live with his daughter.
One day, a small envelope was delivered to our home—a letter from the old man’s daughter. My daughter and I opened the envelope without a second thought. “I’m so grateful for opening your door to my father,” the old man’s daughter wrote. “I can see how much you meant to him.” Knowing from the letter that Mr. Locket was not lonely any more with his daughter’s children circling around, we were moved to tears. It was our wish that all the old could enjoy family union, living happily in later years.
【说明】如下情节设计也可接受: 第一段写Mr. Locket未能如约而至, 我女儿却是十分期待与老人相见。第二段写老人的女儿来信告知Mr. Locket不幸离世, 并对我们一家表示感谢。
听力原文
(Text 1)
W: Dennis, do you still live with your parents
M: No. I moved out last month. I’ve already decided to live on my own.
W: how can you afford the rent
M: I’ve been employed by a new company.
(Text 2)
W: Bradley, some audience said your acting in the movie is barely satisfactory. So what do you think of your performance
M: I’m not quite satisfied with it either. But it’s just my first movie. I’m sure I’ll do better next time.
(Text 3)
M: I heard there will be a power cut tonight.
W: Don’t worry. I’ve already bought some candles.
M: So when will it begin
W: It’ll begin at 7:00 pm and will last for three hours.
(Text 4)
W: Did you have a good time during your camping
M: Just so-so. Phoebe had been called away by her boss before we set out. Jenny felt sick all the way. I had to send her to Martin’s to give her a physical checkup.
W: Oh! Maybe she got carsick.
(Text 5)
M: I was thinking about ordering some takeout. Do you want to order a personal dish or share something bigger
W: I’ll just get a piece of beef and some vegetables. I had a late lunch, so I don’t have much of an appetite right now.
(Text 6)
W: It’s Children’s Day. Will we stay at home all day Why don’t we go to the amusement park
M: Oh, there’s always too much noise.
W: What about the circus
M: Circus Is it still in town
W: Yes, and you promised our son you’d take him there before it leaves.
M: The circus will be so crowded today. What about going to the cinema Peter likes watching movies.
W: That sounds good.
(Text 7)
W: The water supply of our building has been cut off. I haven’t stored any water for cooking today.
M: Then are you up for a restaurant meal tonight
W: I guess we have no choice but eat out. We could go to the Mexican restaurant around the corner of our street.
M: I’d like to try something different this time.
W: Then we can go the Italian restaurant or the French restaurant.
M: I prefer the latter. W: It’s fine with me. The restaurant is a bit far. Will we drive or take a taxi there
M: Well, we’ve been a couch potato recently. I would rather ride shared bikes all the way there.
W: Ok, it’s up to you.
(Text 8)
W: Tom, what were you watching just now
M: I was watching a TV series Heartland. It’s about a family who lives on a ranch with horses and cattle.
W: Why did you watch such s series It must be very boring.
M: Well, it may sound boring to you, but I really love watching it. Though its story is neither exciting nor touching, it tells about the life that I truly want to live.
W: You mean you want to live a simple and peaceful life
M: Yes. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about living in the countryside like my grandparents. I can keep many animals and plants and then get safe, healthy food there. I can even slow my pace in the busy world, looking at the scenery around world and enjoying myself.
W: So do you want to move to the countryside
M: Yes. If you get tired of the city life someday, why not experience it for yourself
W: Well, I grew up here. Life here is so much more exciting.
(Text 9)
W: Dave, what about going to Maya Bay in Thailand for a holiday this year The magazine says it’s a very famous beach in the country.
M: I know that beach. It made headlines in 1999 when some people arrived there to film the famous Hollywood movie The Beach. Since then, tourists have flooded in this beach with as many as 4,000 visitors arriving on boats every day.
W: That’s really hard to believe.
M: Yes. Sadly, tourism ruined the natural life there. That is why the Tailband government closed the beach to tourists for about four years.
W: I didn’t know it was closed for about four years. So when did it reopen
M: It reopened in January 2022. Now there is a limit of 300 visitors per day.
W: Well, I think it’s a good decision.
M: I agree. Scientists there believe that beach is a natural resource they have to preserve. Actually there’re many other great beaches in Thailand. We don’t have to visit that one.
W: You’re right. But I don’t know any other beaches.
M: It’s easy. Let’s search for some information on websites and then make a decision.
W: Good idea.
