2、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When I decided to leave my home country to pursue a degree in Canada, I hadn't expected that communication would be an issue.I took English lessons in my teens and scored well on English tests.
But soon after my arrival in Canada, I realized how wrong I was. In research discussions, surrounded by native English speakers, I had to be careful. I needed to consciously follow each conversation and translate it to my native language.Finally, I tried to find the right English words to communicate that response. Constantly thinking about what I would say next, I had a hard time remaining focused in conversations.
But when I again failed to say exactly what I meant in a meeting a few months later, a simple idea occurred to me. Communicating with my colleagues by e-mail, I had more time to think and comfortably express my thoughts. Over time, this practice helped improve my English significantly.
I decided to remind them that English is not my first language. I asked them to speak more slowly to help me follow the discussions. It was a little awkward to draw attention to what might be seen as a weakness. And at first, the other members of the research team seemed slightly surprised. But the dynamics quickly improved. They seemed to become more aware of how they were speaking, and I felt more comfortable joining in the conversation..
A. Plus, I learned to be open with my colleagues.
B. Why not contribute to the discussion in writing?
C. I had thought I could express myself in English easily.
D. Gradually I grew uncomfortable with oral communication.
E. Then, I had to reflect carefully on it and think of a response.
F. With efforts on both sides, we could overcome language barriers.
G. How can one deny the significance of effective communication?

As we all know, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Now scientists have given us another warning: spending too much time on smart phones or computers makes you dull too.
"Many focus on the benefits of digital devices (设备) in education but ignore the costs," said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, "losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs." Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spent about 4.5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy, sad, angry or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smart phones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again.
Students who had been to the camp got about 5 percent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didn't show much improvement. The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us.
"Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction." said Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco.
Researchers talked to 2,000 parents of children aged 2-16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently. The results were surprising: Their children could use a tablet (平板电脑) (59%) and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces (鞋带) (53%)! So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called "Generation Helpless".
(1)、According to Professor Greenfield, what is the consequence of using digital media in education?A、Students don't get along well with family members. B、Students always make more mistakes when taking exams. C、Students can't catch up with others in schoolwork. D、Students fail to know other people's emotions.(2)、What do scientists think of the results of Greenfield's experiment?A、They are far from useful. B、They are alarming for people. C、They are quite surprising. D、They need to be improved.(3)、What can we learn from the text?A、Students learned how to describe emotions in the experiment. B、Most of the UK children couldn't tie their shoe laces. C、Students living without screens did much better in studies. D、Overusing digital devices raised some worries.(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、Stay away from the Internet B、Here comes a digital world C、Screens are harmful to emotions D、How people become addicted -

Finger painting is an art that most people have experienced in childhood. But there are still people who know little about this art form. Finger painting is a simple activity that involves dipping fingers in paints and then using fingers to create objects and shapes on a piece of paper. All you need is a table at elbow height, a few sheets of plain paper, and a few bottles of watercolor.
When engaging kids in this activity, one should use non-toxic (无毒的) paints only. If not available in the market readily, non-toxic paints can be made at home easily. Preferably, the paints should also be eatable. Finger paints come in bright colors and can be purchased relatively inexpensively. Adults can save money by making their own finger paints using a mixture of cornstarch, food coloring and water.
It is a common fallacy that finger painting is for children alone, rather it's an activity that can be enjoyed by adults in equal measure. Adults can use rubber gloves while painting to avoid dirty marks of paints on their hands. When a group of people are gathered for an exercise of finger painting, it can be a great way of creating a bond between the group. Art and painting parties are a popular concept in the West. Organizations can also use finger painting as a team-building activity by making participants paint together on a large canvas (画布).
There's no limit to the expression of feelings in finger painting. All one needs to do is go all out and put all their feelings on a piece of paper by dipping their fingers in paints. While painting, one may unconsciously choose colors that reflect their emotions. For example, you may choose the color red to express your anger or green to express hope. At times you may be confused, and the painting will help you describe your confused state of mind. Once you get your emotions on paper, you are likely to feel relieved.
So what are you waiting for? Plan a finger-painting session soon, and experience the joy.
(1)、What can we know about finger painting?A、Kids learn it much faster than adults. B、Finger painting is easy to carry out. C、Most people loved it in their childhood. D、The preparation for it is quite difficult.(2)、What should people do when there are kids involved in finger painting?A、Use paints of bright colors. B、Buy inexpensive paints. C、Have parents stay with them. D、Prepare safe paints for them.(3)、What does the underlined word "fallacy" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A、Sense B、Misunderstanding. C、Principle. D、Possibility.(4)、What does the example in Paragraph 4 show?A、Finger painters have a wide choice of colors. B、Finger painting shows people's emotions correctly. C、Finger painting provides freedom of self-expression. D、Finger painters can find artistic inspiration from emotions. -

I've just arrived from New York City at the airport in Rome and already I'm lost, wandering left and right and searching for the right exit. I'm supposed to meet my wife Elvira, who lives in Italy now, and then drive to Guardia Sanframondi, the little town where we own a house, to meet our newborn granddaughter Lucia, now all of 11 weeks old.
But I takes a wrong turn, and then another, all in vain. I'm lost for 15 minutes, then 30, and finally about 45, unable to get my passport properly scanned and pick up my luggage. This is more than mildly inconvenient. After all, I've just flown more than 4,000 miles, a flight into my future.
But suddenly I see Elvira, who is holding baby Lucia in her arms. I'm found.
I stay in Italy for three weeks. It's impossible for me to get enough of Lucia, and so I follow a strict agenda(日程). Hold Lucia in my arms. Kiss Lucia all over her face. Wheel Lucia in her carriage in the most public places available. Make faces at her and even sillier gestures and sounds.
Today, at 70, I'm a permanent resident of Italy, with Lucia living a five-minute walk away. We visit her at her house and she visits us at ours almost every day. In most American families, adult children with grandchildren live in different towns and states far away. Italian families, on the other hand, are more likely to live near each other. Sometimes three generations here even stay together in the same home. I've happily turned my life upside-down to be a grandpa Italian-style. Lucia is just what I need right about now. If I'm lucky, I'll be just what she needs, too.
(1)、Why does the author go to Guardia Sanframondi?A、To meet his wife. B、To decorate his house. C、To explore the countryside. D、To see his granddaughter.(2)、What happened to the author at the airport?A、He lost his way. B、He missed his flight. C、He couldn't find his luggage. D、He had his passport stolen.(3)、What can we infer about the author from the fourth paragraph?A、He gets enough of Lucia. B、He sets a high goal for Lucia. C、He loves his granddaughter. D、He is forced to make Lucia happy.(4)、How does the author feel about the Italian way of life?A、He's worried. B、He's satisfied. C、He's curious. D、He's uncertain. -

7、 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。
Willis knew it was meaningless to argue with his older brother Jack. Their mother had packed some sandwiches and a large plastic bottle full of juice and allowed them to go wandering along the coast.
Jack was in charge (负责), Mother had said. Just because Jack was 15, two years older than him, their mother thought Jack was smarter. But he wasn't acting smart now. Even Tanya would not be so silly, and she was only 8.
"It isn't far," Jack said, "I can do it easily." They looked at the small island just off the beach. Jack was talking about swimming around the island.
"But it's a lot rougher (风浪很大的) once you get out of the bay." Willis said, "You know there are currents (水流) all along this coast."
"Look, who's in charge here?" Jack said.
"You are," said Willis.
"Right. Now you and Tanya stay here while I swim around this island. It should only take a short while." They watched as Jack waded (趟水) into the water and set off.
Willis opened the juice, filled two plastic cups and passed one to Tanya. After a while, Tanya said, "We'd better leave some sandwiches for Jack. He might be hungry when he gets back."
"He's been gone a long time." Willis said, "Let's see if he's made it." They walked down to the other side of the bay.
"Look!" Tanya screamed as she pointed. Jack was there – holding onto a rock, halfway out of the water.
Jack must have heard Tanya for he shouted, "Help! Help!"
"We've got to do something," said Willis. "But what? ... if only we had a rope."
"The sheep!" Tanya said, pointing to the low cliff (悬崖) behind the bay. "The sheep we saw when we were coming here. They were tied up with rope!"
注意:
1)续写词数应为150个左右;
2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Willis got up the cliff as fast as he could.
Paragraph 2:
Willis swung (摆动) the rope end with the bottle above his head and let it go.

As I sat down, I 2 that at the table next to me, there was an older man with a cap eating his soup 3 . He wasn't saving the seat; the 4 in front of him was empty. As I saw the 5 , a feeling of sadness began to 6 me. Why was he eating alone? Was he lonely? Did he want someone to keep him 7 ?
This wasn't the first time I'd felt 8 when I noticed someone eating alone. I don't like being alone very much, so I don't like seeing people eat alone. I automatically(自动地) 9 they're lonely and need someone to be there for them.
For some reason, eating with other people is a 10 . Modern society has 11 to the point where most people eat with others and do almost every 12 together. If we need to get lunch before a class, we'd rather ask around to see if someone will come with us. So many people are always around someone else, and that may make people think we always need someone with us to feel better about ourselves.
But that's not true. We can enjoy being alone – not everyone needs to be constantly 13 by friends to be happy. And we shouldn't be 14 to eat alone if that's what we want to do. We don't have to do what everyone else does. So it's 15 to realize seeing someone doing something alone doesn't mean they're lonely.

Japan's first fully AI-created comic, Cyberpunk: Peach John, was released on March 9 by Shinchosha, a major publishing house.
The comic is based on the futuristic imagination of the author, whose pen name is Rootport. It describes how the Japanese folk tale hero Momotaro, who is said to have been born from a giant peach, lives in a dystopian (反乌托邦的) future. All the fancy futuristic objects and creatures in the book, however, were conceived and created by Midjourney along with other popular online image-generation AI tools such as Stable Diffusion and DALL-E 2.
Unlike traditional manga (日本漫画) which are usually black-and-white and short in length, Cyberpunk: Peach John comes in full color and spans more than 100 pages. A work of this scale would normally take over a year to complete by hand. However, with AI creation, it took him a surprisingly short period - only six weeks - to finish the whole work, Rootport told CNN.
Despite gaining widespread attention as the first fully AI-drawn manga in Japan, the work has also raised some questions and panic as well. According to Gulf News and CNN, some people are worried that AI technology will threaten jobs and copyright (版权) ownership in the nation's thriving comic book industry, as well as creativity and artistic value. One Twitter user described the project as "an absolute shame to manga and mangaka (manga artists) everywhere." Another wrote: "Odd to publish a manga by AI when your country (has) some of the most talented artists in existence."
But Rootport has insisted that his comic book should be considered a work of art. "AI cannot yet create a perfect work on its own. Human assistance is essential," he told CNN.
(1)、What does the underlined word "conceived" in paragraph 2 mean?A、designed. B、introduced. C、changed. D、mentioned.(2)、What do we know about the AI Creation manga?A、It has two colors. B、It gains little attention. C、It takes less time to finish. D、It is praised by many people.(3)、What does Rootport want to convey in the last paragraph?A、Human can not create a perfect work without AI. B、AI technology can take the place of human beings. C、Human's favor is necessary to create a perfect AI work. D、The comic book should be finished by AI dependently.(4)、What is the suitable title of this passage?A、AI Comic Book Is Well Received in Japan B、AI Comic Book Gains Widespread Attention C、AI Comic Book Changes The Comic Industry D、AI Brings Benefits and Concerns to Comic Industry -

On a summer day in 2019, Raj Patel and his friend Sally Blake walked past a pool. It was filled with smelly algae (水藻), making it hard for workers to clean up. So the two 17-year-old students from Chicago decided to create a robot to deal with this problem. On Aug 19 , the 18th Science and Environment Invention Award was announced. Patel and Blake's invention of a water surface cleaning robot received the Gold Award.
It took them about four years to finish the robot. The robot moves like a boat and can be controlled from far away on the waterside. To collect garbage, the robot has two plates as "hands". Then a conveyor belt is used for sending the garbage to a basket. "There is also a heating sheet under the belt to help dry the garbage and make it easy to deal with," said Patel.
Compared to other robots of its kind, their robot is small, light and eco-friendly. "It has a solar panel (太阳能电池板) set on top," said Blake.
The journey to build their robot was full of difficulties. But they worked hard to deal with these problems. One challenge was the balance of the boat. "It used to be heavy and easy to turn over. On the advice of our teacher, we changed the top part from steel to alloy (合金) to make it lighter," said Patel.
As for their next step, they hope to make the robot work on its own. "We will continue to learn programming skills to make our dreams come true," said Blake.
(1)、What inspired the invention of the cleaning robot?A、The desire to win an award. B、The difficulty of cleaning smelly algae. C、The passion for cleaning robots. D、The terrible situation of the pool.(2)、What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A、The robot's benefit. B、The robot's influence. C、The robot's development.

D、It changes some metals.(4)、In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A、Environment. B、Economy. C、Society. D、Entertainment. -

In the 1970s, a new supermarket selling LPs arrived in my home town of Hornsea, East Yorkshire, and I began spending my pocket money on records. I was just 12, and fell immediately in love with Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. I dreamed of playing that music myself.
I left school at 16 and managed to get into the Royal Academy of Arts. I continued to play piano all my life, working as a concert pianist and a professional portrait painter. In my 30s, I visited Thailand for a few months, where I met my wife. We married in 1996, and I've been in Thailand ever since.
For my 50th birthday, my wife persuaded the manager of Elephants World to allow us to bring a piano into the sanctuary(庇护所). These elephants have worked for humans all their life and many are blind or disabled from being treated badly, so I wanted to make the effort to carry something heavy myself.
When I started playing, it was hard to hear the piano above the sounds of nature and the elephants eating grass. Elephants are almost always hungry – if they get the opportunity, they'll eat and they won't stop. But as soon as I started playing, one elephant, who was blind, stopped eating and listened. We realised that this elephant, trapped in a world of darkness, loved music. From that day, there was never any concern about disturbing their peace, and that was the beginning of it all. We occasionally film the performances and now have nearly 700,000 YouTube subscribers.
I continue to play for these elephants that run free in the sanctuary, though I could be killed at any moment. It seems to be the male elephants, the ones who are moody and dangerous, that listen to the music the most. The music somehow calms them.
(1)、What caused the author's passion for music?A、His dream of being a professional. B、His experience of meeting his wife. C、His fascination with Beethoven's music. D、His learning in the Royal Academy of Arts.(2)、What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3?A、He was good at playing the piano. B、He was not fond of blind elephants. C、He got along well with the manager. D、He was sympathetic to those elephants.(3)、How do elephants react to the author's music?A、They stop standing. B、They become quiet. C、They begin to run free. D、They start performing.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、The author's journey with his wife. B、Challenges of playing music for elephants. C、The author's playing the piano for saved elephants. D、The author's unforgettable experiences in Thailand. -
