Players get six chances to guess and learn a five-letter word for the day. Many are sharing their game results on social media, adding more interest in the game. Here are other games that help learners with different subjects.MathematicsBritish data scientist Richard Mann of London was talking with his daughter about the popularity of Worlle. He thought there should be a game for people who like mathematics and developed Nerdle. It’s a daily game in which a player has six tries to guess a math solution.Math teachers note that a Nerdle player uses logic, a careful way of thinking about something, to solve a math problem. It’s similar to how a Wordle player applies logic to guessing a word.  GeographyFrench video game developer Antoine Teuf invented Worldle in honor of that word game, Wordle.Players guess a country based on its shape. They get six tries to guess a country based on information about the country. Teuf first shared the game on January 22. He said there would be two million visits a day to the game’s page a month later.EnglishTeachers of English see word games as a useful way for students to learn new words. Such word games include Blooket and Flippity.Teachers create quizzes in Blooket similar to the kinds of games students play on mobile devices. They can look at results and see areas that students can improve.In Flippity, teachers can create flash cards, rewards, spelling quizzes, memory games and word searches from a simple Google spreadsheet. It’ s also a good tool for students to create their own projects.21. What’s the text mainly intended to introduce?A. Some popular word games. B. Some suggestions on learning.C. Some online learning games. D. Some social media for teachers.22. Why did Richard Mann develop Nerdle?A. For math lovers. B. In honor of Wordle.C. To amuse his daughter. D. To make math more logical.23. What do Blooket and Flippity have in common?A. They both give timely feedback to their players.B. They both are good for learning new words. .C. They both offer rewards to their outstanding players.D. They both allow students to create their own projects.BSeveral days ago Spanish fashion brand Zara sparked a fierce debate after releasing its latest campaign featuring a Chinese model with freckles (雀斑). Actually, there are some different beauty standards between the East and the West.In East Asia, freckles might be considered a “destructive weakness” for celebrities, especially actors or singers. Although normal people don’t care that much, subconsciously they might prefer a “clean” face. Generally speaking, freckles are more likely to appear if people are out in the sun frequently, and most East Asian women avoid the sun as best they can.Having freckles, instead, is a trademark for unconventional beauty in the Western world, and some call freckles “angel kisses”. For most westerners, having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with; instead, it is something to be desired. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to have freckles.When it comes to eye shapes, it seems Western and Chinese beauty standards don’t see eye-to-eye. Many Chinese think girls with big eyes are the most beautiful. If their eyes have a double-fold eyelid, that is considered perfect. However, most foreigners seem to prefer Chinese girls with slanted (斜的) and narrow eyes and eyebrows. Chinese known model Lyv Yan is often considered the country’s most beautiful by foreigners, while quite a few Chinese people think her appearance doesn’t fit with traditional beauty standards.Young, girly feature or hot and mature feature? Zhao Liying from China, AragakiYui from Japan and Lim Yoon-A from South Korea enjoy high popularity in Asia, as they boast bright faces with warm smiles, which win them lots of male fans. The three young celebrities represent Asia’s beauty standards: women with cute, girly features. Most women in Asia try their best to stay young accordingly. Unlike Chinese girls, Western girls think a more mature look shows independence and uniqueness. The superhero Wonder Woman is an ideal type for most.As ties continue to grow between China and the West, it is unavoidable that these beauty standards develop. But one thing’s for sure-no matter how you look, you are who you are, and that should be satisfaction enough.24What do most western people think of having freckles?A. It is something unbearable. B. It is a destructive weakness.C. It is something to wish for. D. It is a symbol of traditional beauty.25. What do the underlined words “see eye-to-eye” mean in Paragraph 4?A. Have the same opinion. B. Recognize their strengths.C. Misunderstand each other. D. Argue against one another.26. Why do western girls prefer to appear mature?A. They think this beauty standard is better. B. They want to look independent and unique.C. They hope to have high popularity in Asia. D. They admire Wonder Woman very much.27. What does the text mainly talk about?A. What Zara’s beauty standard is. B. Why Chinese people don’t like freckles.C. What causes the different beauty standards. D. How easterners and westerners think of beauty.CTime to load up some popular games: new research indicates pigs possess the mental capability to play video games. The study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs (Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory) to play a simple joystick (操纵杆) game with their noses, moving a cursor (光标) to four targets on the screen. Although the animals didn’t demonstrate the skills to win a round any time, they did show an understanding of some elementary games. Performing well not by chance, the pigs appeared to recognize the movement of the cursor was controlled by the joystick. The fact that they did so well despite a lack of flexible fingers is “extraordinary”, according to the researchers.“It is no small achievement for an animal to grasp the concept that the behaviour they are performing is having an effect elsewhere. That pigs can do this to any degree should give us pause as to what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may impact them, “said Purdue University’s Dr Candace Croney, the study’s lead author.Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only oral encouragement by the experimenter” would see training continue. These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence of pigs. Not only have they been shown to use mirrors to find hidden food, but studies have also demonstrated how pigs can be taught to “come” and “sit” after oral commands. As with any sentient (有感觉力的) beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to them impacts and matters to them. We therefore have a moral duty to understand how pigs acquire information, and what they are capable of learning and remembering, because it ultimately offers the potential for how they understand their interactions with us and their environments.28. What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A. The pigs sometimes won the video games.B. The pigs operated joysticks with their noses.C. The pigs competed with each other in the games.D. The pigs sometimes performed well accidentally.29. What does the underlined phrase “give us pause” refer to?A. Stop us from advancing. B. Affect us in learning.C. Make us think seriously. D. Force us to train pigs better.30. What made researchers believe pigs socially interacted well?A. Their being inspired by human words. B. Their being driven by food.C. Their being willing to keep trying. D. Their being motivated by challenges.31. Which of the following could be the best title?A. Smart Pigs: Best Animal Players B. Flexible Noses: Fun GamesC. Oral Commands: Pig Learners D. Pig Players: Learning PotentialDThe term “Metaverse” （元宇宙）is the latest buzzword (流行语) to capture the tech industry’s imagination — so much so that one of the best-known internet platforms is rebranding to signalits embrace of the futuristic idea.Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement that he’s changing his company’s name to Meta Platforms Inc. might be the biggest thing to happen to the metaverse since science fiction writer Neal Stephenson coined the term for his 1992 novel “Snow Crash”. But Zuckerberg and his team are hardly the only tech visionaries with ideas on how the metaverse, which will employ a mix of virtual reality and other technologies, should take shape.What is the metaverse? Zuckerberg has described it as a “virtual environment” you can go inside of — instead of just looking at on a screen. Essentially, it’s a world of endless, interconnected virtual communities where people can meet, work and play, using virtual reality headsets and glasses, smartphone or other devices. The metaverse also could be a game -changer for the work-from-home shift amid the coronavirus pandemic. Instead of seeing co-workers on a video call, employees could join them in a virtual office.Zuckerberg’s embrace of the metaverse in some ways contradicts a central tenet (信条) of its biggest enthusiasts. They envision the metaverse as online culture’s liberation from tech platforms like Facebook that assumed ownership of people’s accounts, photos, posts and traded off what they collected from that data. “We want to be able to move around the internet with ease, but we also want to be able to move around the/Internet in a way we’re not tracked and monitored," said Steve Jang, who focuses on cryptocurrency (数字货币) technology. There is a growing concern about Facebook trying to lead the way into a virtual world thatcould require even more personal data and offer greater potential for abuse and misinformation when it hasn’t fixed those problems in its current platforms.32. Why is Zuckerberg changing the name of his company?A. Because he plans to quit his present business. B. Because he has founded the metaverse.C. Because he will engage in the metaverse. D. Because he wants to draw public attention.33. What can be inferred about the central belief of Metaverse fans?A. Users should be responsible for their personal data. B. Cryptocurrency technology should be monitored.C. Tech platforms should possess users’ data. D. TheMetaverse should be tracked.34. What can people do in the Metaverse?A. Do everything in the real world. B. Have meetings in the virtual office.C. Defeat the pandemic. D. See co-workers on a video-call.35. What do some people think of Zuckerberg’ s decision?A. Facebook will gain people’s trust. B. Facebook will make the internet a better world.C. Facebook may not abuse information. D. Facebook may not play a good leading role.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Have you ever gone to a museum or a show and been completely blown away by a piece?

The car had come to an unexpected stop, and like a normal teenager she did the only thing she could think of... get out and walk.　　It was cold and late, and home was far away. This could be a long night. If only someone would stop and offer her a ride. She prayed for help and dragged herself forward.　　The lights of a truck shone from behind as it approached. "Maybe he will stop," she hoped. The brake lights flashed on as it stopped. Next moment, the car door opened. A wordless invitation was extended and she understood. Without hesitation, the girl climbed up into the seat and closed the door. Slowly the truck pulled back onto the road and disappeared into the night, never to be seen again.　　I woke up in a cold sweat, frightened. Was it a dream or was it a vision? It was unbelievably real, and the girl was my daughter! I jumped from my bed and ran to her room. Her bed was empty.　　I stood in horror trying to think why she hadn't come home. As the mental fog began to lift, I remembered she was visiting her friend that evening. Perhaps she stayed there for the night. It was 1:30 am, but I raced to the phone and dialed a number."Hello?" The voice was heavy with sleep."Hey. Sorry to wake you. Becki didn't come home tonight and I was wondering if she stayed at your place.""No, she left here a few hours ago. She should have been home at least by midnight!" The voice on the other end began to reflect my own panic.Over the next forty-five minutes I alternated between lying in pray and pacing the floor in anxiety.At 2:15 am lights appeared as a car turned up our long driveway. I could tell immediately that it was not my daughter's car.注意:    1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式作答。My face pressed against the window and found it was hard to breathe. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　_________________________________________________________________________________　　　　　　　　　　　　　　_________________________________________________________________________________"Mom, she gave me a ride home," Becki said.  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　_________________________________________________________________________________　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   英语试题答案听力：CAACB  BCCBA   CBCAC    AABBC阅读理解：A：21.

Strengthen书面表达：One possible version:  Dear fellow students, It is a common phenomenon that many fresh senior 3 students are under great pressure, thus developing an unhealthy lifestyle. To meet the challenges of the senior year, it is of vital significance that we say no to the unhealthy lifestyle. To begin with, we are supposed to go to bed early so that we can maintain refreshed and dynamic in the daytime. Besides, it is of great benefit to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables so as to provide sufficient nutrition for our body. Additionally, it’s highly advisable that we do exercise on a regular basis, which is an ideal way to relieve stress. Nothing matters more than health. It is high time that we made a change and lead a healthy life from today on! The Student UnionAugust 8, 2022读后续写My face pressed against the window and found it was hard to breathe. The car pulled in front of the house, out of it emerged my precious daughter, making her way up the steps. Tears stinging my eyes, I threw open the door, pulled her inside and hugged her tightly. The dream was just too real and I could hardly believe I was now having my daughter in my hug. I wondered if it was because my pray was answered. Then through my blurred vision I saw a lady stepping out of the car.     Mom, she gave me a ride home," Becki said. "My car broke down on the highway and if she hadn't given me a ride, I would never have made it home in my high heels at midnight." she continued, exposing her blistered ankles. My heart thudded at the thought of what panic she experienced when she staggered alone along the dark highway at night. She must be an angel for Becki! I approached the lady and invited her inside. Now, I was definitely grateful to her for extending a helping hand.
    录 音 稿(Text 1)M: Hi, Betty. Johnson would like to have dinner with us before the movie.W: Hmm…Maybe you’d better go without me. I have an article to do tomorrow. I’m sorry to let you down.M: That’s OK. (Text 2)M: What do you do in your spare time?W: Well, I like shopping and I jog every day.

I have an appointment at 8:30. I’ve got to be there at least an hour ahead of time.(Text 4)M: Hey, this photocopier looks nice, the X40. W: Hmm. A bit expensive. The RX200 looks fast. It does 25 copies a minute. M: So does the BT100. And it’s cheaper and smaller. Let’s get this one. (Text 5)W: Mark, do you know what is on TV?M: I’m not sure.

W: Yeah, it’s quite different from Western operas.(Text 6)M: Joan just invited me to a party at her house on Friday.W: Wow, I’m sure you’ll have a great time.M: ⑥Well, I don’t know. I don’t know her friends very well. And I’m no good at small talk. What if I say something stupid?W: Hey, relax. Just talk about something you know they’re interested in.M: That’s the case. I don’t know what these friends are interested in.W: For example, ⑦you can talk about the weather.M: You must be joking. The weather is boring.W: In this way you can find out what they like to do.

Can I help you?M: I’d like to make a complaint about my holiday in Portugal last week.W: I’m sorry to hear that. What exactly was the problem?M: First of all,⑧the coach taking us to the hotel broke down and we had to wait for over two hours before a replacement arrived. Then when we got to the hotel we found out the room was small and hadn’t been cleaned. W: Oh dear! M: Anyway, that’s not all. ⑨The people in the room above us sounded like they were having all-night parties, every night. I demanded another room but the receptionist told me the hotel was full. W: I do apologise.(Text 8) M: Hey, Deb, let’s go to a movie. You’ve been working on these bills for hours now.W: You’re impossible!M: Why?W: ⑩Haven’t I been telling you that we can barely make ends meet? M: But I’ve been trying to cut down on our expenses lately. W: Well, maybe, but you’ve been turning up the heat to 70 degrees Fahrenheit every day and that’s been costing us an additional $70 to $80 a month.M: Deb, you know I’ve had to do that. I get sick every single time the temperature goes below 68 degrees Fahrenheit. W: Oh, oh. ⑪Look at this telephone bill! It’s for $90! That’s impossible! Have you been making calls to Edison, New York?M: Oh, yeah. I did make just one call there last month. W: Well, they charged us for four calls. Mmm. ⑫I’ll have to call them and figure it out. (Text 9)M: Hey Susie! How’ve you been?W: Pretty good…Just trying to keep up with class work. I have to hand in an essay on Monday. That is killing me! I keep sitting down to work on it, but just end up with nothing. ⑬I paid attention in class, but I just don’t think I understand the task quite right.M: Yeah, be patient. ⑭I’m preparing a play. My group have already met many times, but we aren’t quite ready yet. That wasn’t exactly the hardest part of our study.W: Oh, I’m really looking forward to Spring Break. M: Me, too. Will you come to Jason’s birthday party tonight?W: Well, actually I made plans with my mum to take part in a 10-kilometre run to benefit a cancer research. ⑮That’s Saturday morning, so it isn’t a great time to go out.M: But if you want to stop by earlier this evening, feel free.W: Uh…Maybe I’ll see you tonight. ⑮Will you come to the race tomorrow?M: Alright. I actually know a brave kid fighting with cancer and ⑯I want to help people with cancer. (Text 10)W: Now, as you’re new, I’m just going to show you a map of the hospital and point out a few key places. At the moment, we’re in the main building, that’s there...and if you go out of the main entrance and just along the main road to the east, you’ll find the staff leisure center. There’s a range of things that you can do here to help you relax. If you get ill, ⑱we do have a health center for all employees, and this is directly behind the main hospital building. ⑱And there is a small garden next to it. ⑲Many of you might like to go to the 24-hour swimming pool. They’re very close by, and it doesn’t cost much money to get in. If you walk out of the main building, there’s a road straight ahead of you. Go down that and turn left into Tye Road—you’ll see the pool entrance at the end of that road. Finally, if you want a healthy meal and you have very little time to get it, of course there’s always the dining hall inside the main building. But I would recommend a place called Jenny’s Restaurant which is near the main building. ⑳You can get a number of excellent dishes here at a reasonable price. Well, I think that’s all. Thank you.
