Dear Editor,
I am a middle school student. I’m writing to tell you of my worry. Because many people haven’t realized the importance of protecting cultural relics so far, many cultural relics are being damaged. We must protect these relics because they are parts of our culture. These relics are important to us because they help us to learn the glorious history and great culture of our country. Our government is doing its best to protect and restore them, which is not enough. Everyone should know cultural relics are the common wealth of humans. Many of them cannot be restored once they are destroyed. We should attach great importance to protecting cultural relics and it is everyone’s duty to do that. I hope, with the help of your newspaper, we can call on the whole society to value and protect our cultural relics.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

Knowing why Carpenter worked so hard at this age, every one was moved. In fact, she is a kind lady who often helps others whenever she sees them in trouble, but after all, she herself is not rich enough. The reason why she wanted to buy a new house is that her own house was burned down in a big fire. So she decided to buy a new house and it would be convenient for her to offer shelter when she meets with homeless persons. Every day, she would eat some cheap vegetables to save some money. She had never bought a pieces of clothes for a long time. In a word, she was trying to pay for the new house.
Reaching her goal, Carpenter won’t retire until the New Year. ”I’m going to help them out for the holidays, and after that, it’ll be good to stay at home, “ said Carpenter when interviewed. She has worked at the supermarket for over 20 years. ”I’m going to miss my customers. They look for me every day, " she said. At the same time, she would use the money she earned to continue to offer help to those in need. That’s the kind chain.★秘密·启用前

第一节（共15小题：每小题1.5分，满分37.5分）
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。
Animals were the real pioneers of space flight. Let us learn about some animals that have been to space.
A．Fruit flies
On February 20, 1947, the United States sent some fruit flies into space to study the impact that cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射) might potentially have on astronauts in the future. They chose flies because they are genetically similar to humans.
When they returned to Earth, the scientists found the flies alive, with no evidence of the effects of radiation.
B．Mice
Mice have long been used to find out more about how space travel will affect the human body. In fact, NASA has recently published a study of mice housed at the International Space Station. It shows that mice quickly adapt to microgravity (微重力) conditions.
The very first mouse went into space in 1950, reaching an altitude of 137km. However, unlike the fruit flies, the mouse died when the rocket broke into parts due to a parachute (降落伞) failure.
C． Dogs
Laika, a Russian homeless dog, went to space on November 3, 1957. She was picked up on the streets and was thought suitable because she had a gentle temperament (性情) and behaved well. The scientists also believed a homeless dog would be better at dealing with difficult conditions like microgravity than a pet dog.
Laika is famous for being the first animal to orbit (环绕……运行) the Earth. However, she never returned.
D．Spiders
In 1973, two garden spiders called Anita and Arabella were used in an experiment to see if they could still build webs in space.
Both spiders managed to build webs, even though the webs were slightly finer than on Earth. The study showed a great deal about the effects of microgravity on motor response (运动反应).
1．What can we learn about the mouse astronaut
A．It failed to come back alive.
B．It couldn’t survive in microgravity conditions.
C．Its genes were similar to humans’.
D．It was the first animal to be sent to space.
2．Laika was chosen by the scientists for all the following reasons EXCEPT ________ .
A．her good temperament B．her identity as a pet dog
C．her ability to deal with microgravity D．her good behavior
3．What’s the purpose of sending the two spiders to space
A．To compare the quality of webs they made on Earth and in space.
B．To study the impact of cosmic radiation on their survival.
C．To see how fast they could build webs in space.
D．To see whether they could build webs in space.
B
Student newspapers across the US are facing a dark reality. As they are free to read, they are making less money than ever, meaning that such newspapers are finding it hard to survive.
Most college papers have reduced their print editions (版本). Last year, the Daily Tar Heel printed a paper four days a week. This year, it prints a paper every three days. And while it used to produce around 22,000 newspapers each time, it only makes around: 10,000 now, said Erica Perel, general manager.
Increasingly, student journalists have turned their focus to digital versions of their newspapers, and the new ways that social media allows them to tell stories. They’ve adapted their skills to mirror what’s going on in the professional journalism world.
“I think we’re adapting very well…in moving away from that print edition. But it’s challenging.” said Jonathan Carter, a student at North Carolina State University. So what should student newspapers do LoMonte said the best solution would be for universities to financially (财经的) support student journalism. University leaders like to talk about producing responsible students, he said, and journalism is a part of that.
In the meantime, campus newspapers are figuring out their financial models as they go along. Bruce dePyssler, adviser to North Carolina Central University’s Campus Echo Newspaper, said his students post one story a day online. The best stories are put together for a once-a-semester print edition.
And even if student journalists don’t go into media jobs, Perel said, “They’ve still had a great education.” “The number one thing that we teach is critical thinking (批判思考) and how to be a lifelong learner, ” she said, “The ones who are living through this transition (过渡) are the ones that are going to be a lot stronger for it in the end.”
4．What do most college newspapers do to face the dark reality
A．Improve printing quality. B．Reduce print editions.
C．Lower advertising fees. D．Increase paper price.
5．What does LoMonte suggest student newspapers do to survive
A．Ask colleges for money. B．Continue with paper versions.
C．Publish more digital editions. D．Create their own financial models.
6．Who thinks campus newspapers are trying a new financial model
A．Jonathan Carter. B．LoMonte.
C．Bruce dePyssler. D．Perel.
7．What’s the article mainly about
A．The proud history of the Daily Tar Heel. B．Student newspapers are adapting well.
C．School newspapers are under pressure. D．How to refresh traditional newspapers.
C
According to a study published this week, habitual napping (打盹) appears to be associated with a large brain volume in adults although experts stressed that further research was needed. It reduces the cost caused from the lost time and the fatigue-related errors. The work followed previous studies that suggested a brief doze could improve people’s ability to learn.
Arianna Huffington, a co-founder of Huff Post and the founder and chief executive of Thrive Global, said, “Given the latest science on the effectiveness of napping and the clear link between employees feeling well rested and their productivity, it’s long past time that businesses embrace short naps at work.”
Some businesses, including Thrive Global, have already introduced facilities for employees to take naps. Google introduced sleep pods as far back as 2014 and companies like Nike and Ben & Jerry’s introduced nap rooms. The practice has even been adopted by the NHS, with a growing number of hospitals introducing sleep pods for staff in an effort to help them get more rest. Employees, it seems, are enthusiastic. Sean Greenwood, of Ben & Jerry’s, said, “If a quick nap gets employees more involved and creative, we’re happy to provide that for our team members.”
Unfortunately, the practice of napping still suffers from our collective concept that sleep equals weakness and laziness. However, the performance-enhancing benefits of naps have been no secret to many leaders throughout history. It also gives the higher-ups the chance to acknowledge the 24/7 culture and come up with top-down solutions that encourage workers to take care of themselves in and out of work.
While sleep experts stressed that a daytime doze could be beneficial, they said it was crucial to get enough shut-eye at the end of a day. It is the late stage of sleep, sometimes missed by early risers, that strengthens the nerve circuits that make for learning and memory, allowing the brain to make and consolidate new neutral connections. Additionally, prioritizing sufficient sleep during the regular nightly sleep period is essential for overall well-being.
8．What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A．Work stress. B．Learning abilities.
C．A research finding. D．The brain volume.
9．What is Arianna Huffington’s attitude toward napping
A．Dismissive. B．Approving.
C．Unclear. D．Critical.
10．Why are so many companies mentioned in the passage
A．To advocate enough rest. B．To praise creative employees.
C．To compare the differences. D．To present the current situation.
11．What will possibly be discussed in the paragraph that follows
A．The approaches to shut-eye. B．The importance of napping.
C．The secrets to well-being. D．The benefits of memory.
D
It’s often said that we human beings can dream in a foreign language. Could dreaming in a foreign language improve our memory Does dreaming in a foreign language mean we are making progress in learning that language
Before we look at multilingual (多语言) dreams, first we need to look at sleep. The connection between sleep and language can be applied to how we learn any language, including our native language. Even adults still learn about one new word every two days in their first language. But, if we are going to remember that new word better, what matters is that we need to connect it with what we have learned. And in order to do that, we “need to have some sleep”, says Gareth Gaskell, a professor at the University of York.
It’s during sleep that the integration (整合) of old and new knowledge happens. At might, one part of our brain — the hippocampus — takes whatever new information it receives during the day and passes it on to other parts of the brain to be stored. The role that dreams play in this night-time learning process is still being studied, but “it’s entirely possible that during multilingual dreams, the brain is trying to connect the two languages”, says Marc, a researcher at a university in Bern, Switzerland.
So having multilingual dreams could mean that our brain is trying to remember a new word or phrase. However, it could also have an emotional (情感) significance. Danuta, a professor of psycholinguistics at the University of Silesia in Poland, suggests that multilingual dreams can express “fears or wishes” around learning a foreign language, including the wish to be a local speaker or to be accepted within a certain community.
We clearly still have a lot to learn about multilingual dreams, but one thing seems certain: if you’re trying to learn a new language, you can sleep on it.
12．Why does the author mention questions in paragraph 1
A．To compare different ideas. B．To introduce the main topic.
C．To present different types of dreams. D．To discuss the human language ability.
13．What is the key element in memorizing a new word according to the text
A．The other new words. B．The native language.
C．The gained knowledge. D．The speaking practice.
14．What can we learn about multilingual dreams
A．They may influence people’s sleep quality. B．They can reflect language-learning feelings.
C．They are the best option to learn a language. D．They help to clear up the useless information.
15．Where is the text most likely from
A．A novel. B．A diary. C．A guidebook. D．A magazine.

In modern cities, it is now time as much as space that separates urban functions, as people’s lives are lived not only to different timetables, but also at wildly different rates. The mass timetable of the industrial city, with 9-5 office hours and silent Sundays, has gone. In its 21 is flexi-time, part-time working, Sunday shopping and the 24-hour city.
European cities are 22 these changes perhaps faster than British cities. In at least half a dozen cities in Italy, 23 , you will find the Uffici Tempi--the Offices of Time. What they do is try to reorganise time more flexibly in the city, in order to meet new needs. This is particularly relevant for Italian women, an increasing number of whom have to 24 two timetables: work and home. Usually located in the Mayor’s office, the Uffici Tempi bring together transport providers, shop-owners, employers, trade unions, the police and other services to see how their efforts might be better 25 . The main aim in all this is to increase the efficiency and productivity of the city. This can mean delaying the starting tunes in schools, offices and factories to avoid rush hours, or having shops opening later in the day but closing later too. One further 26 is that there can be more police about in the evening, patrolling the streets when people most need them.
In a number of German cities, people have been 27 whether the timetable of the future city should be 6x6 or 4x9--working hours, that is. Apparently male workers favour a four-day week, while women workers, on the other hand, favour 28 shorter working days. This would give employees more time in the afternoon to be with children or to get the shopping.
The 29 for public services to adapt to our changing lifestyles has been quite difficult for some of the staff involved. 30 , who likes working evenings or Sundays Nevertheless, many city centres are now open for shopping seven days a week, and a number of them now promote themselves as ‘24-hour cities’, where those with money can drink, eat, dance and even shop the whole 31 .
Time is flexible, but buildings aren’t. The 32 between the structure of the city and its uses, over time, is a serious architectural and planning problem. 33 has become the key skill. We are slowly 34 the terms of dormitory suburbs and industrial districts, in favour of mixed- use areas, out-of-town retailing and working from home.

Today’s stars are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publishing stories about their personal lives. Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, they, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us 36 imagine.
37 psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing 38 the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities 39 (be) around for ages. In the 4th century B．C．, painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, 40 (hope) to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites 41 .
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot 42 (difficult). Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet 43 (spread) the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
44 fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or 45 made them famous in the first place.

47．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。
It was so heartbreaking for Devan Bonagura to see 81-year-old Nola Carpenter sitting in the break room of a supermarket where she works. In the short video he shared, the woman appears tired and stares at the floor as if thinking of something. The video finally went popular, earning over 30 million views and causing a movement that would change Carpenter’s life.
It is widely known that retail (零售) workers are heroes. They put up with long hours and angry customers, among a lot of other things. This work is challenging for young people and able-bodied people, so it can really be more difficult to the old. That’s why Bonagura posted the video.
He posted the short video of her with the message “Life shouldn’t be this hard. . . ”and the caption(字幕)“I feel bad”. At last, his followers asked him to find a way to support this woman, and it inspired him to open a GoFundMe campaign titled“Let’s help Carpenter retire (退休)”. The idea was to support Carpenter so that she could retire early.
Although the goal was just $10, 000, 24 hours later over $100, 000 had been collected. Two days later, Bonagura met up with Carpenter and told her how he had posted a video of her and how people had come together to help her. “They see that you’re a very hard worker,” the social media platform told the woman. “We are all super proud of you, and we want to offer you the $110, 000 that has been raised for you.” “T’d accept it, but I’d still have to work until I get the other $60, 000 to pay off the house,” she explained. “The house is what’s holding me at work. ”She then talked about her daily life and how she struggled to help those in need.

1. 续写词数应为150左右;
