B

Nicole is growing up every day. As time passes by, along with the new skills mastered has come a talent for getting into trouble. After the first birthday she gets more curious, fearless and mobile, while still clueless about the consequences of her actions. Sometimes when you enter the washing room, you’ll find the whole roll of toilet paper unrolled and lying on the ground. Sometimes when you enter the study you find she is emptying the contents of drawers onto the floor. One time when she was trying to pull a drawer out, it fell off on the floor. Immediately, she burst into a big cry.

I understand babies don’t know right from wrong, and their actions can’t be considered naughty, because they learn about the world by experimenting, observing cause and effect. I’m not going to stop her explorations most of the time, but I'm worried about the safety issue indeed. Before, I could deposit her in a safe spot lo keep both home and her from harm; now, no such paradise exists. And for the first time the question of discipline(纪律) has come to my mind.

There is no question that children need discipline. According to Magda Gerber, an infant expert, “Lack of discipline is not kindness; it is neglect.” In her eyes, loving our children does not mean keeping them happy all the time and avoiding power struggles. Often it is doing what feels hardest—saying“No”and meaning it.

For me, carrying out effective discipline is one of the toughest tasks of parenting, a seemingly never-ending test of wills between Nicole and me. But the good thing is that, although I continue to meet opposition from Nicole when I stop her potentially dangerous actions, I find gradually she accepts limits. Now she has got the idea that they’re things she can't play with and can't do. Can't play with laptops. Can't touch eclectic wires. Not everything into mouth.

“Waiting to introduce discipline into a child's life much later than ten months could make the task much more difficult...” (What to Expect the First Year,by Heidi Murkoff) I am so grateful to have this book on hand. It makes a first-time mother a qualified caregiver.

24. In Paragraph1, how does the author illustrate her idea?

A. By listing statistics               B. By giving examples

C. By making comparisons           D. By explaining causes

25.According to Magda Gerber, loving our children is___________.

A. doing the toughest things for them       B. avoiding making them feel powerful

C. setting limits for them when necessary    D. saying "No" to them as often as possible

26.What can we learn about the author from the text?

A. She lacked experience as a new mother.

B. She thought it easy to discipline Nicole.

C. She stopped Nicole’s exploration all the time.

D. She hesitated about disciplining her daughter.

27.What is the style of the text?

A. A news story.         B.A research report.

C. A personal essay.      D. A persuasive letter.

C

The entire country struggled with the unprecedented(前所未有的) heat of the July 2022 heatwave, but for the disabled, the heat hit even harder. The climate crisis is a threat to everyone's health, but according to a report in 2021, people with disabilities are more vulnerable to the extreme weather events and natural disasters that result from the climate crisis.

Professor Kristie Ebi of the Centre for Health and the Global at the University of Washington, described the topic of heatwaves and disabled people as being an important issue. “Groups at higher risk during periods of high temperature include people with chronic(慢性的) medical conditions, people who take certain medications that can reduce the ability of the body to sweat, and the disabled”, notes Ebi, going on to describe the different threats that heatwaves pose for different types of disabilities. Ebi notes the difficulty people with mobility issues or blindness may have with accessing services, such as cooling shelters. Ebi also comments on the importance of making messaging on the dangers of high temperatures accessible to those with learning disabilities or to deaf people. “Some studies suggest higher rates of suicide and other mental health issues during heatwaves, requiring targeted help for those with mental disabilities,” she added.

Ailsa Speak, a disability and lifestyle blogger, experiences uncontrollable movements in the heat due to her cerebral palsy (脑瘫). “As you can imagine, when my involuntary movements increase, I get even hotter. It's just a painful circle really.”

In the absence of a concrete set of plans for people with disabilities during the climate crisis and extreme weather events, people with disabilities continue to be at increased risk of heat-related disease.

To prevent future death and destruction, the Climate Change Committee CCC), an independent organization handling climate change, advocates for adaptation planning, as the temperature is set to rise further due to the climate crisis and global warming. The CCC's 2022 report on the health risks of overheating offers adaptation options to the government to ensure that buildings are fit for future climate change. Nevertheless, the publication does not offer specific advice about people with disabilities and overheating, which thus remains to be discussed immediately and thoroughly.

28. What does the underlined word "vulnerable" in Paragraph 1 possibly mean?

A. Defensive     B. Adaptable     C. Experienced   D. Delicate

29.Which of the following would Professor Ebi most probably agree with?

A. Heatwaves make people with chronic diseases suffer most.

B. The mentally disabled have no access to cooling shelter.

C. Some disabled people are ill-informed about the risks of heatwaves.

D. Mobility disability contributes to higher risk of suicide in the heatwaves.

30.Why does the author mention Ailsa Speak?

A. To share a disabled blogger’s painful life.

B. To show what a terrible disease cerebral palsy is.

C. To prove the never-before-seen highs in temperature.

D. To illustrate the trouble the disabled have in the heat.

31.What is the purpose of this passage?

A. To stress the urgent need to care for the disabled in the heat.

B. To suggest methods of helping the disabled in heatwaves.

C. To tell readers how severe the July 2022 heatwave was.

D. To introduce adaptation alternatives for future buildings.

D

Someday, shadows and light could team up to provide power. A new device uses the contrast(差异)between bright spots and shade to create an electric current. That current can power small electronics, such as a watch or LED lights.

Swee Ching Tan and his team call their new device a shadow-effect energy generator. They made it by coating silicon(硅) with a thin layer of gold. Silicon is often used in solar cells that produce electricity from sunlight.

As in a solar cell, light shining on this generator energizes electrons(电子)in the silicon. Those electrons then jump into the gold. The difference in light levels creates an electric current. Sending electrons makes a flow of current that can power small electronics.

Tan's team described the new device in Energy &Environmental Science. Each device measures 4 cm long and 2 cm wide. That makes its area slightly larger than a stamp. In low light, eight generators power an electronic watch. These devices can also serve as self-powered motion sensors(传感器). For instance, when a toy car passed by, its shadow fell on a generator. That created enough electricity to light an LED.

The team compared its generators to commercial solar cells that are typically used under full sunlight. With half of each device in shadow, the generators produced roughly twice as much power per surface area as the solar cells. “But it would be better to compare them to solar cells meant to work in low light, such as the silicon solar cells in classroom calculators. These are designed to use indoor light,” said Emily Warren, a chemical engineer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Warren also would like to see the team measure the power the devices make over a longer time, such as a whole day.

Increasing how much light the generators can absorb would allow them to make better use of shadows. So the team is working to improve the device’s performance with strategies that solar cells use to gather light.

32．What is the outer layer of Tan’s energy generator?

A. Gold        B. Silicon      C. A solar cell.     D. An LED light.

33. What was Emily Warren’s attitude toward Tan’s new device?

A. Doubtful     B. Objective    C. Conservative   D. Expectant

34. Which aspect of the device is the team working on at present?

A. Its better use of solar cells.             B. Its means of locating shadows.

C. Its efficiency in light absorbing.         D. Its application to the households.

35. What is the best title for the text?

   A. Renewable Energy Usage on the Rise      B. Shadow Effect Can Produce Electricity

   C. A New Device to Harvest Solar Energy     D. Shadow Energy May Replace Solar Energy

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项

I didn't just read a book in print, on an e-reader or even on a mobile phone. Instead, I read a book on dozens of devices. I was not trying to set a Guinness World Record. I wanted to answer a question I often hear：___36___ ? So I set out to try them all, reading a chapter on each：the Amazon Kindle, the first and second generation Apple iPads and mobile phones. To be fair, I also read a chapter in that old-fashioned form—a print book.

The book I chose was The Alienist. For the first chapter, I turned to an Amazon Kindle. __37___ .The kindle is light. Its six-inch screen is the perfect size for reading, and reading on its black-and-white-E-Ink display doesn’t harm your eyes. ___38___ , and on average you charge the device only once a month. My only complaint with the Kindle design was the placement of the keyboard at the bottom of the device.

Despite the small screen on a mobile phone, I found reading on one to be simple and satisfactory.___39___ , but all of the phones on which I read chapters felt somewhat similar.

If I had wanted to, I could have bought my book through dozens of e-book apps in the Apple App Store. Most are free and offer access to thousands of free e-books or paid versions. Both iPads l&2 offer an immersive(身临其境的)reading experience. I found myself jumping back and forth between my book and the web, looking up old facts and pictures of New York City.___40___ .

For the last chapters of the book, I read the print one, which is still my favorite choice.

Since we are comparing devices So I guess I need to choose one. In the end it might come down to Kindle. But if money is tight, go for print. My used print book cost only $4 from Amazon.

A. Battery life is outstanding

B. Should students make use of the devices to read

C. Shopping on Amazon for the Kindle is simple

D. Which e-reader is the best for reading books

E. No wonder a lot of readers also speak highly of it

F. Reading on the Amazon Kindle is a joy in many aspects

G. The brightness and size of the mobile phone’ screen did vary

Time management is an important skill to develop. If your time is not well-managed your day can be full of demands and interruptions. On the contrary, if your time is well managed, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

To manage your time, first of all, it’s wise of you to spend some time planning your day every morning, listing your task in order of importance. Additionally, you should avoid interruptions as much as possible, putting aside electronic devices. When you are working on a task, try to focus your time and energy on it and complete it before getting to do something else. What matters most is your self-discipline, which contributes to cultivating a good habit of time management.

Follow the suggestions mentioned above, and you will surely get the most out of each day.
