A
Here's a selection of the strangest races in the world.
Surf Dog Competition
Hundreds of participants from all over the US come to fight for the first prize.
This annual（一年一度的）event is an official dog surfing competition taking place
in Imperial Beach in August and Huntington Beach in September. The attendance
to the event is free of charge, however, donations are welcome.
Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race
If you think wheel toys are designed for kids only, you're wrong. The race was
initiated by JohnBrumit in 2000 when he rode down Lombard Street on his plastic
wheel toy. That day, he was the only participant in the race. He continued his
tradition every year, but few joined him. In 2006, someone posted a video of his
race and as a result, the next year's race featured hundreds of participants though
there was no prize money. Since then, the annual race has been held on Easter
Sunday in San Francisco.
World's Ugliest Dog Contest
It's an annual event held in June in Petaluma, California. But it's not about
making fun of the ugly dogs, but about encouraging them and showing the world
that such dogs can also be happy and adorable. The competition has been held
since the 1970s. The winner gets a check for $1,000.
Fur Rondy

Medha Gupta sometimes felt worried making the 20-minute walk from the
corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon,
Virginia—especially during the colder months in winter.
Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion:write an app. She was half-kidding,
but Medha took the challenge seriously. So she went to work.
The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel
more secure（安全的）when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can
programme it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to
arrive at a destination within a certain time.
It was the first iOS app that Medha had created. While she didn't think much
would come from the project, her effort caught the eye of judges for the annual
Congressional App Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia's 10th
District.
The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in
science, technology, engineering, and maths by experimenting with coding and
computer science. Winning students are invited to attend a reception on Capitol
Hill in April and also received $ 250 in Amazon Web Service credits.
Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design, programme and test the app.

{#{QQABIQKEggAgAhBAABhCAwFiCAEQkBAACAoGhFAEMAAAgRNABCA=}#}
As for her next app Medha's not certain. She temporarily has her app-development
tasks on hold because she's busy teaching herself AI（人工智能）to help deal with
improper words on Facebook. Yes, she knows that there are teams of engineers
probably doing the same thing. But she figures it can't hurt her own part, too.
"If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it,
"she said. "After all, the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves. "
24. What did Medha Gupta's mother advise her to do
A. Develop an app. B. Take a bus.
C. Travel with others. D. Walk to school.
25. What can we infer from paragraph 4
A. Medha had expected much of her project.
B. The App Challenge is held every other year.
C. The app can just be applied to iPhone.
D. It's a surprise for Medha to be a winner.
26. What message does Medha seem to express in the last paragraph
A. Never too old to learn.
B. AI leads to a better future.
C. Always be creative in life.
D. Practice makes perfect.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Judges to Eye Talents B. IOS App for iPhone
C. Mother to Offer Help D. Medha for Safe Travel
C
Do you like to keep fit We’re always told that regular exercise is good for our
body and mind. More and more people are taking up activities that improve their
fitness. But is there a risk that some of us might get obsessed (着迷的) and overdo
it
Well, for some people, fitness has become an obsession as they aim for
perfection. And fitness trackers and apps can add to this addiction, especially if
someone is driven by achievement and perfectionism. And sharing data on social
media means exercising becomes public and competitive, which could cause
problems in someone who is vulnerable (脆弱的). Experts say this can lead to a
medical condition called orthorexia nervosa, or addiction to healthy eating and
over-exercise. Untreated, it can lead to malnutrition and mental health problems.

Too much exercise can also take its toll on someone’s physical health as well.
Symptoms of over-exercising include injuries such as a broken leg and a low
immune system. So how much exercise is too much Researches found the ideal
pace to jog was about eight kilometers per hour--and that it was best to jog no more
than three times a week or for 2.5 hours in total, showing that moderate jogging is
possibly more beneficial than being inactive or undertaking strenuous (剧烈的)
jogging.
If you’re more of a couch potato than a runner, this might sound like good
news. But for amateu（r 业余的）athletes who can’t help but push their bodies to the
limit, the advice from Martin Turner, a sports and exercise psychologist, is, “It’s all
about letting go, not being obsessed, learning not to control everything, saying,
‘You don’t need to be perfect.’”
28.What is the main reason for people’s addiction to over-exercise according to
paragraph 2
A. Their need for social support.
B. Their addiction to fitness apps.
C. Their pursuit（追求）of perfectionism.
D. Their concern over health issues.
29.What does the underlined phrase “take its toll” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Going hand in hand.
B. Having a bad effect.
C. Making little difference.
D. Playing an important role.
30.What is the passage mainly about
A. The risk of fitness obsession.
B. The importance of mental health.
C. The benefits of moderate jogging.
D. The symptoms of over-exercising.
31.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Fiction. B. Lifestyle. C. Culture. D. News
D
When the leaves begin to change their colors and the birds head south, we
know the season is starting to change. On September 7 comes White Dew (白露),
the 15th solar term (节气) of the year. It indicates the beginning of the cool autumn.

{#{QQABIQKEggAgAhBAABhCAwFiCAEQkBAACAoGhFAEMAAAgRNABCA=}#}
As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night.
For writers and poets, autumn is a difficult season to describe. It ’s the end of
the summer, and therefore a little sad. The days seem to get shorter, and when you
wake in the morning, there’s mist(薄雾) and it’s cooler. Winter is just around the
corner.
American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast (《流
动的盛宴》), “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when
the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the
cold, wintry light. ”
But on the other hand, autumn has its good side. There are so many changes at
this time of year, such as the colorful leaves and cooler nights. French writer Albert
Camus even thought autumn was a second spring, “when every leaf is a flower.”
This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature, To
Autumn by John Keats. In that poem, Keats says that autumn has its own songs,
just like spring.
Another theme of this season is wisdom. The arrival of autumn is thought to be
similar to a person becoming mature (成熟的).
The great Irish poet W.B. Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at
Coole (《库尔的野天鹅》), writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the
west of Ireland. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembers first making the
count as a young man. Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years, he’s
reminded that even though we get older, our hearts always stay the same age.
32. What can be concluded about White Dew
A. It is often ignored by writers and poets.
B. It is the time of year with the most rainfall.
C. It indicates the end of the autumn.
D. It is when the temperature begins to drop.
33.Why is “A Moveable Feast” was mentioned
A. To point out that autumn is very cold.
B. To show that winter will soon come.
C. To present the sad part of autumn.
D. To express sadness about the end of life.
34.What does “this idea” in the last paragraph refer to
A. We can always stay young at heart.

B. Autumn is an important season for man.
C. Autumn is related to one’s growing old.
D. Nature is full of lessons to be learned.
35.What’s the focus of the passage
A. The solar term White Dew.
B. Famous writers’ description of autumn.
C. Autumn weather and activities.
D. Why autumn is a sad season.

There are many theories that suggest different ways of improving memory or
thinking more clearly. One of those is the idea that adding rosemary (迷迭香) to
your food or water, or even breathing in its fragrance, can give your brain a boost.
First, it’s important to understand what rosemary is. 36 It’s a perennial,
meaning that once you plant it, it should re-grow every year when the weather is
warm enough for it to do so. It’s native to Asia and the Mediterranean. ___37
Rosemary is related to the mint (薄荷) family of plants. When it blooms, its
flowers are white, purple, pink or deep blue. It is often used as a flavor in food,
including soups, meat, fish and other Mediterranean food. And it has a somewhat
bitter flavor. Some people also enjoy tea flavored with rosemary. 38
One study that involved 28 older adults found that consumption of a small
amount of dried rosemary powder was associated with statistically significantly
improved memory speed. 39 Researchers found that their memory of images
and numbers improved when the essential oil of rosemary was sprayed in the room.
40 But one theory is that rosemary appears to have some antioxidant
(抗氧剂) properties that may offer some healing for the damage in our bodies.
Another idea is that rosemary appears to lower anxiety, which in turn, may increase
the ability to concentrate.
While rosemary shows some promise for boosting our brain power, it’s
important to check with your doctor before you begin having it.
A. Rosemary is a herb with needle-like leaves.
B. Rosemary is also used as a perfume and added to shampoo and soap.
C. Here’s what research has found about rosemary.
高一英语 共 12 页 第 8 页
{#{QQABIQKEggAgAhBAABhCAwFiCAEQkBAACAoGhFAEMAAAgRNABCA=}#}
D. It is unknown if those benefits would apply to humans.
E. Another study was performed with 53 students between 13 and 15 years old.
F. It’s not known for sure why there may be a benefit from rosemary.
G. But it is grown in the United States, as well.

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。
There was an elderly lady standing in the bone-chilling cold outside the back
of the supermarket．She was holding a basket with bunches of flowers．
“Would you like the flowers They are $3,”she asked me as I was walking
past. I politely responded “No，thank you.” as I walked away and went inside the
supermarket．
I was walking around the supermarket searching for the thing that I was
needing to buy and thinking of that lady，standing in the cold holding her basket of
flowers. Visualizing the beautiful flowers I had admired, her polite quiet voice and
lonely figure, I wondered about her unknown story of standing in the cold with her
basket. Maybe her family was in urgent need of money; maybe she was a lone soul
to earn a living with her own hands.
I had my own personal struggles. I had to budget for everything and I
appreciated that $3 was a lot for me, like many of us all and probably for her too.
But it wasn't my first thought when she had asked me about buying her
flowers．My first thought was that I didn't have the cash but this couldn't be used as
an excuse for not buying those flowers. I had not carried cash with me for a few
years and I thought many of us did the same．
When I went to the register to pay with my card, I asked for $3 cash out.The
staff member questioned me about the $3. I felt anxious about it quickly and tried
to remember the money I had in my account. And at the same time she pressed the
button to process it. I had mentioned that I wanted to buy flowers from the lady
who was selling them outside. A sigh of relief, I was glad to see it all had been

M: Well, I think one is just teaching. I love teaching. I just want to teach all the time. Even if I won the lottery, I would be a teacher. And another thing is jogging, even though most people are surprised because I’m a little fat. I’m about 20 pounds overweight, but I run almost every day. It’s the most relaxing thing for me.

W: We won’t know what the future house will look like, but we can imagine three kinds of houses. The first one is the tree house. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity and even create fresh air for the home. The root of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to control the home’s temperature. The second one is the lizard home. Like a lizard, changing colors with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During the dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy. The last one is the chimney house. In such a house, a chimney can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney.

第二节参考范文
I walked away and around the corner of the supermarket to the lady．She was standing there，trembling in the cold．No sooner had she noticed my approach than her weather beaten face lit up. I said shyly, “Hi，sorry. I didn't have the cash on me．Yes，I would like to buy some of your flowers.” On hearing that，she instantly put the basket of flowers in front of me, wearing a big and warm smile. The flowers were in full bloom, dancing in the wind. I chose the bunch of flowers I had first sighted．
After giving her $3,I was surprised when she handed me the change．I couldn't help but ask the price of the flowers．“$3 for all！” she explained．Without hesitation，I told her to keep the change．She took the money with shaking hands，tears welling up in her eyes. As I walked away, I hoped someone else could walk up to her and buy the rest flowers．We are all going through our own struggles but no matter how little we can do. it will make a difference．
