After serving in the Army for eight years, Featherstone remained determined to realize his childhood dream of becoming a cowboy.When he returned to Los Angeles, he learned to ride at stables (养马场) known as “The Hill” in Compton. Riders there would jump on their horseback and take their horses into the city streets. In 2012, a fire burned down The Hill. What had become a shelter for the youth was suddenly gone. Sensing the void (空白) after the fire, Featherstone opened his own stable, Urban Saddles, in 2019 to create a space where he could teach kids like Humphreys to care for and ride horses.As a black man, Featherstone is against prejudice. People of color are often prevented from pop culture and historical representations of the cowboy. His stable has helped keep the cowboy lifestyle alive in the streets. “Riding through the streets on horseback has given me a way to connect with others in the community，” said Humphreys.“It makes them happy seeing us on a horse and then they may be smiling, and I believe that when we come through, we give them a sense of hope，” he added.If there's one lesson Featherstone hopes to convey to kids, it's a respect for all life.“We're respecting the animals and we're respecting each other，” he said.4．What made Featherstone want to become a cowboy?A．His childhood riding experience.B．The duty of saving the world. C．The years in the army.D．His love for his parents.5．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A．The life of being a cowboy.B．The dream of being a cowboy.C．The reason for opening Urban Saddles.D．The place of teaching kids like Humphreys.6．What's Featherstone's real purpose of opening his own stable?A．To teach the black kids to ride horses.B．To help the kids to learn to respect all life.C．To make money by teaching the kids to ride.D．To train the cowboys to become more hopeful.7．Which of the following words may best describe Featherstone?A．Smart but careless.B．Diligent and kind­hearted.C．Slow but productive.D．Determined and broad­minded.C      There are many different types of houses in the UK. You may see detached, semi­detached, terraced (排屋的) houses or even end­of­terrace houses on a typical street. You might see apartments in wealthier parts of town, or people living in bungalows, preferring to live a life without stairs. Strange cottages may dot the countryside, while heading to the cities you could see any number of types of flats，including houses turned into flats, studios and duplexes (复式公寓). But one thing you will notice is that many houses come from different eras, and asking the British about their ideal home，many of them will have a specific period property (特性) in mind.For some, it could be Victorian houses，which are often seen with bay windows, high ceilings, stained glass doors and colored brickwork. During the Victorian era, a huge number of houses, particularly terraced, were built in towns and cities to accommodate vast numbers of workers who were moving from more rural areas.Georgian architecture refers to houses built during the period of 1714 and 1830 during the rule of four British monarchs. Usually houses with this architectural style have a more symmetrical theme, both internally and externally, with a small square garden in front. For those not into older properties, new buildings from the 1990s onwards offer better insulation (隔热，绝缘) against the cold and newer electrics. And those who prefer less repairs could always go with the open­plan or minimalist look of the modern era.So, whether it's high ceilings, better insulation, brickwork, bungalows or square gardens, people in Britain have a wide variety of preferences when it comes to where they live. And their ideal home may just simply be a case of what style feels like home.8．What do the Victorian houses have?A．A small square garden in front.B．High ceilings and colored brickwork.C．A more symmetrical theme than any other era.D．Broken windows and stainless doors.9．Why does the author mention Victorian and Georgian houses?A．To display the wisdom of the architects.B．To introduce the origin of them.C．To attract people to British houses.D．To show the diversity of British houses.10．What can we learn from the text?A．The preference of British for the houses.B．The history of the Georgian houses.C．The house structures of Britain.D．The fine scenery in Britain.11．What will the author probably talk about next?A．Ideal British home.B．Terraced houses.C．Georgian houses.D．Square gardens.D[2022·福州市高三质检]When I stepped into the Samcheong Park Library in Seoul, I saw the future. The simple building had a nice selection of books and a cafe where readers could enjoy coffee while gazing at the leaves outside. It was specifically designed without any latest technology.“What's so innovative about that？” a librarian in Toronto asked when I showed her pictures. Innovation to her meant digital technology, like 3D printers.“Why couldn't they both be innovative？” I asked.We are constantly told that innovation is the most important force in our economy, without which we would be left behind. But that fear of missing out has led us to fall into the false traps of innovation over truly innovative ideas that may be simpler and more effective. This mindset implies that if you just buy the new thing, you have innovated! Each year, businesses and individuals run around like broken toy robots, trying to figure out their strategy for the latest buzzword equipment.At best, this is a waste of resources. Devices are bought, used and abandoned, as the technology's capabilities fall short of its promise. But at its worst, this approach can truly cause damage. Schools cut field trips to purchase tablets with few proven benefits. Companies that applied AI to hiring have actually strengthened gender and racial prejudices.True innovation isn't just some magic devices. It is a continuing process of reflection and reassessment, which often means adopting “old” ideas and tools in a new context, or even returning to methods that worked in the past. Adjusted properly, these rearview (后视的) innovations have proved as transformative as novel technologies.Look no farther than the streets of New York, which have been redesigned recently to accommodate cyclists with car­free zones. The idea isn't new. It was created half a century ago, with the aim of bringing cities back to their residents. And while e­reader sales have been exploding, Penguin just announced it would publish tiny printed books, an ideal solution for a market demanding both convenience and practicability.12．Why is a librarian mentioned?A．To set an example.B．To cite an authority.C．To make a prediction.D．To present an argument.13．What does the underlined word “buzzword” mean in Para. 3?  A．Fashionable.    B．Affordable.C．Practical.    D．Imaginative.14．What does the writer agree with about innovation?A．Wasted resources lead to innovation.B．Magic devices encourage innovation.C．Innovation should be human­centered.D．The power of technology is undervalued.15．What is probably the best title of the text?A．Innovation Is Not That ExpensiveB．The Future Lies in Returning to the PastC．Some Best Ideas Are in the Rearview MirrorD．Innovation: The Most Important Force in Economy[答题区]题号12345678答案        题号9101112131415 答案        第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。Want a relaxing but fun challenge at home？__16__ Puzzles have been around for more than 250 years and the challenge of working out where each piece goes and carefully recreating the scene on the box lid can keep you busy for hours, days or even weeks.Puzzles come in a huge range of sizes and difficulty levels. For beginners, a 100­piece puzzle is usually a good starting point. __17__ Try grouping pieces with the same colour or design because they will probably go in the same area once the puzzle takes shape.__18__ Those pieces are easier to find because they have a straight side. Stay patient as you search through pieces and try to make them fit together.

Choosing a scene that interests you, such as a favourite film, sport or location, can help keep you interested and determined to work to the final piece. You can get fun educational puzzles, too.__19__Some of the best places to pick up puzzles are charity shops. They're often on sale for less than 5.Once you have completed a puzzle, it's nice to exchange it with a friend.__20__ You just upload an image, such as a family scene, and they will make a puzzle from it and post it to you.
