文章来源 30 Teen Stories for Reflection ＆ Reproduction by Shengliver and his students
Hearing Peter’s complaint, I got extremely angry. I criticised him mercilessly for a while. I told him that we should cherish each exam as an opportunity to learn and improve rather than treat it mindlessly. At this, Peter flushed. I could see a look of shame and embarrassment creeping across his face. I also asked Peter to be honest and consistent throughout the exam. Hopefully, his integrity would not be compromised by external forces. Having listened to my instructions, Peter nodded repeatedly. He promised that he would not misbehave himself in the tests.
The day came when the results were out. As usual, some students were happy while others were worried. Strangely enough, this time those who got worried included a couple of classmates who had made it to the very top of the league table. They felt uneasy for lack of a clear conscience. Even though neither Peter nor I had earned impressive grades in the exam, we learned a lot from it. The exam helped us to see not only where we were weak in our lessons but also the importance of staying true to our hearts.四子王旗实验学校2023-2024学年高二上学期期中考试

When she was 14 years old, Amy’s life was turned upside down by a family trouble.
Amy lived in a small village in India. Her mother fell ill and her father had to spend his time caring for her. As a result, she had to do most of the housework — including washing clothes. What’s worse, her family couldn’t afford an electric washing machine. Instead, she had to do the washing all by hand in the local river, and then carefully carry everything back to her home — a task that took several hours.
Interested in engineering, Amy wanted to make a washing machine which could be used without electricity. She started studying electric washers to learn how they worked. Amy then designed a machine with bicycle pedals (踏板) and chain. To get those, she went to a local shop. Workers there not only gave her the parts, they also helped her make the machine!
Here’s how the machine works: Amy used a cylinder (圆筒) to hold the clothes and put it in a cube (立方体). Next, she connected the bicycle pedals and the chain to the cylinder. As Amy pushed the pedals with her legs, the cylinder cleaned the clothes just like a regular washing machine.
Amy’s invention worked! She had created her own human-powered washing machine — and now a task that used to take several hours took only 30 minutes. Amy’s washing machine was chosen as India’s best invention! And the story of this young woman’s creative invention spread around the world.
“Amy’s invention saves time and money for the world’s poor,” said Jeanine Thomas of the Borden Project, “she made a difference.”
24．What problem did Amy try to solve
A．Her mother suffered from illness.
B．Her family was too poor to afford her education.
C．It was a long way to get water from the river.
D．It took too much time and effort to wash clothes.
25．How did Amy solve the problem
A．designing→studying→getting materials→making the machine
B．designing→getting materials→studying→making the machine
C．studying→getting materials→designing→making the machine
D．studying→designing→getting materials→making the machine
26．How does the machine get powered
A．By turning the cylinder around with hands.
B．By pulling the chain with machines.
C．By pushing the pedals with legs.
D．By turning on the machine with electricity.
27．What does the underlined phrase “made a difference” mean here
A．Amy changed the way a washing machine works.
B．Amy won a big prize and improved her family’s life.
C．Amy improved many poor people’s lives with her creativity.
D．Amy encouraged many young inventors among the poor.
C
When I was growing up, my family kept chickens. We always had about a dozen of them at any given time and whenever one died off – taken away by hawk or fox or by some unknown chicken illness – my father would replace the lost hen.
He’d drive to a nearby chicken farm and return with a new chicken in a sack. The thing is, you must be very careful when introducing a new chicken to the general flock. You can’t just toss it in there with the old chickens, or they will see it as an invader. What you must do instead is to slip the new bird into the chicken farm in the middle of the night while the others are asleep. Place her beside the flock and tiptoe away. In the morning, when the chickens wake up, they don’t notice the newcomer, thinking only, “She must have been here all the time since I didn’t see her arrive.” And awaking within this flock, the newcomer herself doesn’t even remember that she’s a newcomer, thinking only, “I must have been here the whole time…”
My arrival in India does likewise. My plane lands in Mumbai on December 30. I find my luggage, and then find the taxi that will take me hours and hours out of the city to the destination, located in a remote rural village. I doze on the drive through streets, sometimes waking to look out the window, where I can see strange haunted shapes of thin women walking alongside the road with bundles of firewood on their heads. Buses with no headlights pass us, and we pass oxcarts. The banyan trees spread their elegant roots throughout the ditches.
28．What do we know from the first paragraph
A．The author was good at keeping chickens.
B．The author’s father could treat chickens’ diseases.
C．Chickens were more valuable than hens.
D．The number of the chickens was kept steady.
29．When did the writer probably arrive in India
A．8:00 P.M. B．1:00 A．M. C．7:00 A．M. D．3:00 P.M.
30．What does the underlined word “flock” in the second paragraph mean
A．The chicken farm. B．The group of chickens.
C．The nearby chickens. D．The new chickens.
31．The writer wrote the passage to _________.
A．tell the readers how he quickly got integrated into Mumbai
B．describe how a newcomer usually feels on a new land
C．persuade the readers to get accustomed to the new environment quickly
D．reflect upon his childhood and his eventful travel to Mumbai
D
Do Animals Communicate
When we think of communication, we normally think of using words — talking face to face, writing messages and so on. But in fact we communicate far more in other ways. Our eyes and facial expressions usually tell the truth even when our words do not.
Then there are gestures, often unconscious: raising the eyebrows, rubbing the nose, raising the shoulders, tapping the fingers, nodding and shaking the head. There is also the even more subtle (微妙的) body language of posture: Are you sitting or standing with arms or legs crossed Is that person standing with hands in pockets, held in front of the body or hidden behind Even the way we dress and the colors we wear communicate things to others.
So, do animals communicate Not in words, although a parrot might be trained to repeat words and phrases which it doesn’t understand. But, as we have learnt, there is more to communicate than words.
Take dogs for example. They show their teeth to warn, shake their tails to welcome, and stand firm with hair upright to fight. These signals are surely the equals of the human body language of facial expressions, gestures and posture.
Color can be an important means of communication for animals. Many birds and fishes change color, for example, to attract partners during the mating (交配) season. And mating itself is commonly done after a special dance which both partners take part in.
Here, again, there are striking similarities to young men and women who dress up to meet partners at parties, where the music is often too loud for word communication. Communication there takes place through appearance and movement.
The most carefully planned dances in the animal kingdom are those that bees use to communicate. With body movements alone they can tell other bees the direction and distance of a newly discovered food.
All these examples may suggest instinctive (本能的) rather than intelligent communication. But human body language is largely instinctive, too. And, in many ways, body language says far more than intelligent word communication ever can.
32．Nodding and shaking the head is a ________.
A．gesture B．facial expression C．posture D．language
33．Dogs’ shaking their tails means ________.
A．warning B．welcoming C．fighting D．laughing
34．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A．Color is not a way of communication for animals.
B．Many birds and fishes change color to show that they don’t want to mate.
C．A special dance often takes place before mating.
D．Word communication is better at parties where music is so loud.
35．Bees use body movements to ________.
A．attract partners to communicate B．communicate where they have been
C．tell other bees where to go and how far it is D．show their victory

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
As a senior student in high school, I committed myself to active preparation for the upcoming college entrance examination. My days were filled with studying textbooks, practicing exam questions, and making constant revisions. It felt like I was going through the motions, with the weight of pressure and expectations weighing heavily on me. The atmosphere in our class was charged with anxiety. Classmates gathered to discuss study strategies and shared last-minute tips. Teachers provided additional classes and mock exams (模拟考试) to copy real exam conditions. Everyone desired to achieve their best in the exams to boost their confidence.
Last Thursday, a surprise exam was given to us. We were to complete all the four tests in a single day, Chinese, Maths, English and the Sciences. We had been kept completely in the dark about the exam until the very last minute. Many classmates felt upset at taking it at such short notice. As a veteran (I am repeating the last year of high school), I was used to such a surprise as our dear teachers had in store for us. It was no secret that many other schools had already done the tests. Therefore, it would be a piece of cake to get the answers online. This term I am paired with Peter by our class director in a tutor-pupil relationship. I am the tutor (老师); Peter my pupil. We are supposed to help each other. Since I am more experienced, I am expected to offer tips and tricks to Peter on studies and life. When word came that the surprise exam was in place, Peter intended to cheat. He complained to me that he would be too worn out to complete all the four tests in such a short time. He added, “The exam is not that vital. Many schoolmates have got the keys anyway.
Hearing Peter’s complaint, I got extremely angry.
The day came when the results were out .
