The man touched Tess’s head and smiled. He told Tess that the money was the exact price of a miracle for her little brother. He took her money in one hand and he grasped her hand with the other hand. He asked her to take him to where she lived. He wanted to see her brother and meet her parents. He told Tess he had the kind of miracle she needed.
In fact, the man was a famous doctor. He promised to help the poor girl. The operation was completed without charge and it wasn’t long before Andrew went home again. Tess’s Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. “That surgery was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost,” her Mom whispered. Tess smiled and she knew exactly how much the miracle cost—one dolar and eleven cents plus the faith of a little child.勃利县中2022-2023学年高二下学期开学考试

It is not rare in China that many seniors take advantage of their retirement years to please their grandchildren.
Some are good at sugar figure blowing art-the maker uses sugar as its basic material to boil and blow into various figures. Some can weave, using even the most unexpected materials such as leaves, and some excel in carpentry, using wood to carve lifelike dolls and toys.
Recently, in a small village in Fujian province, one — and — a — half — year — old Dandan became the most enviable child. His grandfather made a wooden " mantis cart （螳螂车）"for him. The wooden components on both sides of the cart would rise and fall with the metal wheels, resembling a mantis. This one-of-a-kind toy was filmed by the child's parents and posted online, immediately arousing curiosity.
The grandfather, Li Shishui, 70, who has been a carpenter for more than 50 years, retired in 2018. In his spare time, he picks up his old craftsmanship and uses the scrap （小块）wood from his old house to make the "mantis cart" with long legs. He also makes pure wooden toys such as robots , birds and even an "Iron Man".
When Dandan goes out in the “ mantis cart"， it never fails to turn heads and children of the neighbors next door shout and cry to their parents for one too.
Full of childlike fun, fatherly love and delicate design, the wooden toy, not merely catches the heart of children in his neighbourhood, some netizens also express their envy after watching online videos. "I want a grandpa like him too. " "Does grandpa want a granddaughter " Some also recollect that although their grandfather is not a carpenter, these videos have brought back their fond memories when they were young — their grandfather also made some gadgets （小物件）for them.
Therefore, many believe, parents should stress the importance of the education of their children's interpersonal communication skills at an early age. Children who grow up in the love of their elders can expect to be more brave, positive, optimistic and confident than other children.
24．What does the author mean by the underlined part "This one-of-a-kind toy”
A．The toy is hard-won. B．The toy is specially made.
C．The toy is of high quality. D．The toy is the only one made by Grandpa Li.
25．Which of the following is right about "mantis cart”
A．All the components of it are made of wood.
B．Its online videos were not immediately accepted.
C．Its insect-like features attract both children and adults.
D．It was hand-made by Grandpa Li, a craftsman of sugar figures.
26．What can we learn from the passage
A．Much importance should be attached to children's behavior.
B．Children under the care of their elders may have better personalities.
C．Some netizens envy Dandan as their grandparents are not carpenters.
D．Some children of the neighbors cry as Dandan doesn't share the toy with them.
27．Which section of a web page can this passage be taken from
A．Fashion. B．Entertainment C．Lifestyle. D．Transportation.
C
A car weighing only a few hundred pounds, can travel 500 miles per hour, repair itself and cost less than other cars. It might be hard to imagine such a cat, let alone a spaceship. But NASA is trying to make a spaceship that is much better than other ships.
The spacecraft has to be as light as it can be. Weight costs money! A new discovery might allow spacecraft to be lighter. A new material called a "carbon nanotube（碳纳米管）" might be the answer to the weight problem of building a super spaceship. This material is 600 times stronger than steel.
One of the big problems with space travel is space radiation （辐射）.In space, astronauts need protection against harmful rays. You might think that the metal on a spaceship is the answer. But, metals are the worst for protecting against very dangerous space rays. These rays are made of little pieces called ions （离子）.When the ions hit metals at very high speed, they can break an atom and cause another type of ray to form. These new rays can be worse than the radiation the metal skins were supposed to stop. Thus, it is very important to block these rays.
But we could use carbon nanotubes to make the skins of spacecraft. Things that are light in weight seem to work the best against these ions. The rays are stopped outside the spacecraft and new rays aren't made.
In addition, our super spaceship needs to be able to repair itself. Humans can feel the smallest pinpricks （针刺）because of tiny sensors that send signals to our brains. Tiny sensors like ours could be built in the new ships. Each sensor could send messages to the computer “brain" of the spacecraft. If something needed to be fixed, the computer could tell the ship to do it.
Just as amazing as a car would be to someone 200 years ago, our nanotube spaceship might seem to us. We might actually make the spacecraft of tomorrow, using the technology of today.
28．What are the features of carbon nanotubes
A．Light and strong. B．Thin and radioactive.
C．Self-repairing and weightless. D．Sensitive and protective.
29．Which of the following statements is true
A．Space radiation can't be blocked at all.
B．Space rays can break ions to form new rays.
C．Carbon nanotubes can prevent radiation effectively.
D．Metal skins aren't a good choice for their strength.
30．Why will tiny sensors be built into the new spaceship
A．Humans can feel the smallest pinpricks.
B．The computer "brain" can repair itself.
C．Signals can be sent to humans' brains.
D．The computer can be informed of what to repair.
31．What's the best title of the passage
A．A New Discovery in Space
B．NASA Made a Breakthrough
C．Nanotubes Help to Repair Spacecraft
D．NASA's Attempt to Make a Super Spaceship
D
Waste sorting is a complex phenomenon that can be an important step toward a global circular economy. Maybe it even will be something we will look back on as one of the first steps toward an ecological society.
But sorting of waste could also mean participating in an activity that gradually weakens sustainable development by allowing unsustainable companies to use recycling as a way to pretend they are sustainable.
When Royal Dutch Shell, British-Dutch oil and gas company, wanted to dump an oil rig in the ocean in 1995 many people in Europe had just started to separate glass bottles and newspapers. The company’s plan was viewed as a sign of arrogance. The incident led to an important meeting, after which many companies started including environmental factors in their risk assessment.
The situation is different today. It is no longer clear if the kind of waste sorting done in Western nations is part of the problem or the solution. There are areas where the sorting of waste is working reasonably well, for example the glass and metal industries. But at a time when we are looking at a transformative system change and global sustainability, there is a need to fundamentally rethink waste sorting.
In the coming decades, the world needs to eliminate (消除) the use of fossil fuels, become more resource efficient, lift billions out of poverty and ensure greater equity. In order to ensure this, we need a resource-efficient circular economy, and waste sorting can play a key role. But that should be a very different kind of waste sorting.
China could initiate the next generation of waste sorting systems. Such a waste sorting system would be a driver for innovation and extreme resource efficiency and a true step toward ecological civilization.
32．Waste sorting is a complex phenomenon because ________.
A．it is an important step toward a global circular economy
B．it means economy and may be an activity that gradually weakens sustainable development
C．it is a first step toward an ecological society
D．it is slowly moving into the center of conversation
33．What did the behavior of Royal Dutch Shell company result in
A．The dumping of oil rig.
B．Separating glass bottles and newspapers.
C．Including environment when assessing risks.
D．Starting waste sorting in European countries.
34．There is a need to fundamentally rethink waste sorting because ________.
A．the sorting of waste is working well in some areas
B．a transformative system change and global sustainability should be considered
C．the western recycling system does not fit for the whole world
D．people are concerned about greater equity
35．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To introduce Western recycling systems.
B．To compare two recycling systems.
C．To predict the change of ecological system.
D．To advocate a more sustainable waste sorting system.
七选五
Open a book by any philosopher and you'll probably read that a meaningful life has to involve achieving something difficult. That's because many philosophers are perfectionists when it comes to the meaning of life. It's not just philosophers, either. Perfectionism is one of the main reasons people tend to believe their lives are meaningless.____36____If they aren't doing something absolutely amazing, then life has no meaning.
____37____ So the conclusion is obvious: most lives are meaningless. Right Not really. Dig a little deeper, and perfectionism falls apart. Actually you don't need to be a perfectionist about the meaning of life. Life would be fantastic if everything was perfect. But something doesn't need to be perfect to be fantastic.____38____
For one, it's pretty inconsistently applied most of the time. People who are perfectionists about the meaning of life often don't apply it to other areas of their lives.____39____For example, perfectionists don't think they're a failure if they don't get a hundred percent on every test. So isn't it also absurd to apply that kind of standard to the meaning of life
It doesn't end there. The demands that perfectionists place on themselves and others are actually really unrealistic. And that means they can only lead to disappointment.____40____It would be similarly odd to call one of your friends a huge failure because he can't achieve as much in a day as Superman. And that's exactly the logic perfectionism applies when it claims that our lives have to be extraordinary in some way to have meaning.
A．They see life as all -or-nothing.
B．We don't expect a dog to drive a car.
C．This leads to lots of double standards.
D．You're unlikely to be satisfied with any result.
E．And there are actually a few problems with perfectionism.
F．However, most of us aren't an Einstein or a Mother Teresa.
G．They'd probably dismiss the ideas like that as absurd, in fact.

Then, I too turned my gun on these kids and before long we were in all-out water warfare. Soon, the whole block seemed to be ______51______. Needless to say, I was wet and laughing like I'd never laugh before.
I couldn't remember my last water ______52_____ and if did, it couldn't have been as fun as this one. It took a five-year-old to ______53______ the kid in me, and help me realize that you may not be able to ______54_____ disappointment but you can still let in the ______55______. And you can ruin a suit, too, and not really care!

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。
Tess was eight years old when she heard her mother and father talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money.
Only a very costly surgery could save him and it was looking like there was no one to loan them the money. She heard her father say to her tearful mother with whispered desperation, “Only a miracle(奇迹) can save him now.”
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jar from its hiding place. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way to Rexall’s Drug Store.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist(药剂师) to give her some attention but he was too busy at that moment. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. It worked. “And what do you want ” the pharmacist said, “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen in ages.” Tess replied, “My little brother, Andrew, has something bad growing inside his head and my father says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost ” “We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said.
The pharmacist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He came up and asked her, “What kind of miracle does your brother need ” “I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up. “I just know he is really sick and my mother says he needs an operation. But she can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.” The man from Chicago asked, “How much do you have ” “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered.
