3 .     1    These high school study tips will get you in the right direction to get prepared for your final exams, or just for your average, everyday quiz.

Study Alone. Unless you’ve got a couple of friends who are super-serious about getting down to business, stay away from group study because they may get off-topic pretty quickly.     2    

    3     The place where you study should be quiet, comfortable and free from distractions. Go to your room, close the door and kill as many distractions as possible — like music, television, and even the internet and your phone. If you don’t have your own room, consider studying at the library instead.

Eat healthy while you study. If you want to stay sharp while you study, stay away from junk food (垃圾食品). Instead, take studying-friendly foods like dark leafy greens, whole grains, milk, and seafood.     4     They won’t help you in the long run. You can instead eat a banana or an apple.

Study all term long. You may always wish to put off studying till the last minute, especially if you tell yourself that anything you try to memorize earlier on won’t really stay in your brain. That’s not true. Take some time throughout the term to review all of your notes and re-read important passages in your textbook.     5    

A．Get everything you need.

B．Create a perfect study area.

C．Say no to caffeine or energy drinks.

D．Having trouble getting serious about studying for a test?

E．Save the social time till after you’ve handed in your test.

F．Having no idea what to expect in your first year of high school?

G．It might seem boring, but it’ll really keep all those facts in your brain on test day.

5 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Leonardo da Vinci(1452-1519),     1     painter, sculptor (雕塑家), architect and inventor, is probably the most talented person who ever lived. His most famous painting, the Mona Lisa,     2     sits in the Louvre Museum (卢浮宫), is one of the great art attractions of the world.

The Mona Lisa is famous for the mysterious smile     3     the woman’s face. What is the reason for her smile? Some believe that the Mona Lisa is actually a portrait (肖像) of Da Vinci     4     (he)! This is because some of her     5     (face) features are similar to those in one of Da Vinci’s self-portraits. They might suggest that the smile is because Da Vinci knows the     6     (true)—where we see a woman, what he painted was a man. Others might suggest she smiles because she has lost her    7     (tooth)! We will never know for sure, but it is fun to guess!

Mona Lisa didn't always sit behind the glass in the Louvre. In 1911 the painting     8     (steal). Many were called in for questioning,     9     (include) the now famous Spanish artist Pablo Picasso.     10     (lucky), two years after the theft, it was discovered. People are now more careful to protect this precious work of art.

6 . There’s a long-standing argument in scientific circles over how to classify viruses. They’re not lifeless, because they multiply and have genes. Yet they’re not “alive,” as they don’t have cells, and can’t survive on their own. Viruses reproduce by hijacking (劫持) the host’s cells, eventually causing them to burst and die.     1     In order to protect ourselves from them, we have to know some basic facts about viruses.

    2     People often think of just a few viruses — influenza, HIV, and now coronaviruses — but they are the most plentiful microbes (微生物) on the planet. There are about 320,000 types that infect mammals, but just 219 are known to infect humans.

You can get some viruses more than once. There’s a popular myth that once you’ve had a virus, you’re immune to (对……免疫) it.     3     When you get a virus, your body builds up antibodies to fight it. However, not everyone makes enough antibodies, and they can wear off over time, which is why you need booster shots of some vaccines.

You can be contagious (传染性的) without ever showing symptoms. Some viruses can be spread via people who never had signs of the illness or who don’t have symptoms yet. Some people may even be “super-spreaders”.     4     Take precautions to prevent spreading viruses even when you don’t feel sick.

If you’re very overweight, you need to be extra cautious. Obese people are contagious with the flu virus 42 percent longer than those who aren’t obese. Because obesity is linked to many health problems, it may affect your immune system.     5    

A．But that’s not always the case.

B．There are many more viruses than you think.

C．Loss of taste or smell is an early warning sign.

D．Extra weight may make the flu shot (流感疫苗) less effective too.

E．Sleep as much as possible to help your body to recover.

F．That’s why viruses that infect humans nearly always cause illness.

G．They will infect dozens to hundreds of other people without even realizing it.

7 . 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容或括号内所给词的恰当形式填空。

After realizing students at his elementary school were going hungry at home, PE teacher Jason Watson got a wave of inspiration and a cool set of wheels. Jason and his wife, Anne, bought       1     used ice-cream truck and the couple, both aged 39, started to deliver hot home-cooked lunches and icy treats to kids in need in their town     2     the help of their own kids.

When the tough time came in 2020, their in-person outreach was paused indefinitely, so they purchased the truck in October and       4     (be) hard at work since. The family now cook all the meals themselves,     5     (post) on social media the dates and times when they will be delivering. To date, it is estimated that they have served     6    (rough)1, 500 lunches from the truck. Their kindness is supported by many other warmhearted people. When they launched a GoFundMe     7     (raise) money for the truck in June, 2022, they     8     (blow) away by outpouring of donations. They raised more than 10, 000 dollars.

Encouraged by people’s     9     (generous), they’ve decided to do more. Their dream is to possibly open a free cafe where they can invite people to sit, have a hot dinner     10     then share life together.

8 . The male western tanager (唐纳雀) looks like a little flame, while females are less showy, a dusty yellow. In the spring, they prepare to move thousands of miles to the Mountain West of Central America, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards.

To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁移动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds’ survival. “In discussing climate change, we often focus on warming,” says Scott Loss, a co-author of the study. “But the length and timing of seasons — like when winter ends and spring begins — are some of the most dramatic effects of climate change.”

Loss and his colleagues used satellite imagery from 2002 to 2021 to calculate the average start of spring green-up along the typical migration routes of 150 North American bird species, then compared that timing with the current green-up. They found that spring is indeed beginning earlier along birds’ migration routes. “By contrary, previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America,” says Morgan Tingley, an ornithologist at UCLA, “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable (脆弱的).”

“Part of it is knowing which species are vulnerable to various threats,” Loss says. “This adds to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide range of bird species.” And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible. “It’s really important, if we can’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.”

1. What may pose a direct threat to western tanagers’ survival?

A．Global warming.	B．The duration of changing seasons.
C．Loss of habitats due to human activities.	D．Decreased access to foods during migration.

2. What is unique about the new study on birds like western tanagers?

A．It covers a wider geographic range.	B．It reveals the decline in bird populations.
C．It centers on the adaptation of bird species.	D．It ensures the existence of a timing mismatch.

3. What does Loss suggest we do to safeguard migratory birds?

A．Lessen the effects of climate change.	B．Preserve ecosystems for bird species.
C．Address emissions and habitat loss.	D．Expand researches on threats to birds.

4. Where is the text most likely from?

A．A scientific journal.	B．A bird-watching guidebook.
C．A website about climate change.	D．A magazine about wildlife conservation.

9 . 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。

On a sunny Friday morning, Mr. Stone, the Grade 4 head teacher, walked into the classroom with a new student following him. She was a lively girl from Mexico, and her red mushroom hair cut immediately drew everyone’s eyes. With a welcoming smile, Mr. Stone gestured for her to sit beside Mike, a student known for teasing others.

During break time, Mike couldn’t help but laugh when he caught sight of his new deskmate. Sara’s distinctive hairstyle seemed like an open invitation for him to make fun of her. Leaning in towards Sara, he playfully suggested, “Hey, Sara. Ever thought about changing your name to Dora? You look just like Dora the Explorer!” His words caused laughter and cheers from the others in the classroom.

Sara’s eyes filled with tears, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment. Feeling hurt and upset, she stood up suddenly, rushing to the teacher’s office to seek support from Mr. Stone. After hearing her story, Mr. Stone offered her gentle comfort, saying, “Sara, your hairstyle is truly pretty. Remember, everyone has their own sense of beauty.”

Mr. Stone then directed his attention to Mike, expressing his disappointment and urging Mike to apologize to Sara. “Mike,” he continued, “your actions were unkind. We must treat everyone with empathy(同情). Laughing at Sara’s hair has deeply hurt her.”

This conflict was temporarily settled, but Mr. Stone found himself lost in thought. Reflecting on his own childhood, Mr. Stone recalled how he had been teased for being overweight. The pain caused by hurtful words was like wrinkles on a crumpled(压皱的)ball of paper. Even if you smoothed them out, the wrinkles stayed.

He wanted to teach an important lesson to Mike, the troublemaker. Then, a unique strategy came to mind. He contacted Mike’s mother, explaining the situation and discussing a plan with her to develop empathy in her son. They agreed that over the weekend, Mike’s mother would arrange for Mike to have his hair cut extremely short.
