22、ient.” “Im always behind.” “I always put things 36 !” Youve surely heard them. Maybe youve used them to describe 37 .These comments may come from stories about us that have been 38 for yearsoften from 39 childhood. These stories may have no 40 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a

25、, analysis, and speaking.” On the 46 side, I wrote, “I have no Mechanical skills.”Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 47 and told him about my 48 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 49 is it that you can solve complex mathematical problems, but you can

At that point, it wasnt just my family and friends who had been 53 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasnt just the Army

31、第三部分：阅读理解(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)AIKEA is the worlds largest furniture retailer, and the man behind it is Ingvar Kamprad, one of the worlds most successful enterprisers. Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad was a natural businessman. As a child, he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from selling ma

32、tches, seeds, and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17, his father gave him some money as a reward for his good grades. Naturally he used it to start up a businessIKEA.IKEAs name comes from Kamprads initials (I.K.) and the place where he grew up (E and A). Today IKEA is known for its modern

33、, minimalist furniture, but it was not a furniture company in the beginning. Rather, IKEA sold all kinds of miscellaneous goods. Kamprads goods included anything that he could sell for profits at discounted prices, including watches, pens and stockings. IKEA first began to sell furniture through a m

34、ail-order catalogue in 1947. The furniture was all designed and made by manufacturers near Kamprads home. Initial sales were very encouraging, so Kamprad expanded the product lineFurniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became solely a furniture company in 1951. In 1953 IKEA

35、opened its first showroom in Almhult, Sweden. IKEA is known today for its large stores with furniture in attractive settings, but in the early1950s, people ordered from catalogues. Thus response to the first showroom was overwhelming: people loved being able to see and try the furniture before buyin

36、g it. This led to increased sales and the company continued to develop. By 1955, IKEA was designing all its own furniture. In 1956 Kamprad saw a man disassembling(拆卸) a table to make it easier to transport. Kamprad was inspired. The man had given him a great idea: flat packaging. Flat packaging woul

37、d mean lower shipping costs for IKEA and lower prices for customers. IKEA tried it and sales went up. The problem was that people had to assemble furniture themselves, but over time, even this grew into an advantage for IKEA. Nowadays, IKEA is often seen as having connotations(内涵) of self-sufficienc

38、y. This image has done wonders for the company, leading to better sales and continued expansion Today there are over 200 stores in 32 countries. Amazingly, Ingvar Kamprad has managed to keep IKEA a privately-held company. In 2022 he was named the worlds richest man. He currently lives in Switzerland

39、 and is retired from the day-to-day operations of IKEA. IKEA itself, though, just keeps on growing. 56. The author states in Paragraph 6 that flat packaging_. A. needs large space to assembly furnitureB. is a business concept inspired by Kamprad C. helps reduce transportation costsD. makes the compa

40、ny self-sufficient57. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Ingvar Kamprad is the richest man in the world.B. IKEA is the worlds largest furniture retailer. C. The advantage of IKEAs furniture is dissembling. D. Ingvar Kamprad established IKEA and led it to great success.58. What is the authors at

41、titude towards IKEAs future according to the last paragraph? A. IndifferentB. OptimisticC. DoubtfulD. PessimisticBWhen international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult fo

42、r a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country w

43、ho can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for a day, teach me to fish and I

44、 eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and heal

45、th care or even in building satellites. Even a small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problem

46、s. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to upda

47、te themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the c

48、ountries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.59. Accor

49、ding to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time? A. By solving the cost problems. B. By solving the transportation problems. C. By setting up a body of devoted people in every country. D. By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.60. What does the author try to expre

50、ss in the underlined sentence? A. Providing food is vital. B. Learning to fish is helpful. C. Teaching skills is vital. D. Looking after others is important.61. Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands? A. A medical team.B. An exchange program. C. A water plant.D. Financial support.62. What

51、can we infer about international aid from the passage? A. It is facing difficulties. B. It is unnecessary during normal times. C. It should be given in the form of materials. D. It has gained support from developed countries.CAccording to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS),

52、 the U.K. has about 7.8 million families with dependent children, of which 3.7 million have just one child, compared to 3 million with two and 1.1 million with three children or more. The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 percent and will likely rise to more than 50 pe

53、rcent in a decade. As the ONS confirms, “It appears that families are getting smaller.”One obvious reason for this could be that women are putting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile. But it could just as well be a matter of choice. Parents

54、must consider the rising cost of living, combined with economic uncertainty and an increasingly difficult job market. And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal, which seems to be the mood on the mothers online forum Mumsnet, where one member announced that she “

55、just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child”.She had received 231 replies, overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit. Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits. Nicola Kelly, a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a marrie

56、d mother of one, says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up in many ways than his contemporaries.Not all products of single-child families are as keen to repeat the experience. In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to “squeeze out two sons just 22 months

57、apart” as a reaction to her only-child upbringing.She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents, whom she punished with a “brattish, willful” rejection of everything they stood for. Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being “mise

58、ry”.Writer and clinician Dr. Dorothy Rowe, a member of the British Psychological Society, says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted, while other children see the advantages of their situation.However,

59、the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find themselves looking after their own parents as they become older.63. The passage is written with the purpose of _. A. illustrating the strength and weakness of having an only child B. guiding peopl

60、e to look at the same issue from different perspectives C. analyzing the reasons why having an only child becomes popular D. presenting us with different opinions about having an only child64. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Nearly half of families intend to have just one c

61、hild. B. Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child. C. All people dont stand for the idea of having an only child. D. People brought up in an only child family resist downsizing the family.65. From what Dr. Dorothy Rowe said, we know that _. A. its necessary for us to look

62、at the event from our own angle B. journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable childhood C. she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turners reaction D. some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditionsDWhen a big exam is coming up, you probably feel anxious about any wasted

63、 time and want to begin school as soon as you probably can.But tens of thousands of British high school students will soon be getting up later. Theyre taking part in a new experiment by Oxford University to see if later classes can improve their exam results.Grades 10 students in the UK have to take

64、 the nationwide General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams. They have to pass these exams in order to study more advanced courses, and later apply for universities.The Oxford University project means that GCSE students from more than 100 schools across England will start school at 10 am

65、, more than one hour later than the current start time (8:50 am).The project is based on scientific evidence that teenagers are “out of sync” with traditional school hours, the Telegraph reported. And what they need is more sleep in the morning.“We know that something funny happens when youre a teen

66、ager, in that you seem to be out of sync with the world,” said professor Colin Epsie, who is leading the study. “Your parents think its because you are lazy and opinionated（固执己见的）and everything will be OK if you could get to sleep earlier. But science is telling us that teenagers need to sleep more

67、in the mornings.”Everyone follows a natural cycle of sleep and wakefulness. Biology has decided that teenagers go to sleep around midnight and dont feel fully awake until 9-10 am, according to scientists. Thats two hours later than adults. And their body clocks stay like this until the age of around

68、 21 for males, and 19 for females.“Society provides school for learning, but the brain provides sleep. So we are exploring the possibility that if you delay the schools start time until 10 am, that will improve learning performance,” said Epsie.The results could be positive, based on previous studie

69、s.An early study at the UKs Monkseaton High School in 2022 found that starting an hour later improved grades in core subjects by 19 percent.The Oxford project is expecting to publish the results in 2022. Its time to wait and see whether scientists will give us an excuse to get up late.66According to

70、 the article, students who take part in the Oxford University project_. A. will start school one hour earlierB. will no longer have to take GCSE examsC. will perform better academically than those who dont participateD. will be guaranteed more sleeping time in the morning67The underlined phrase “out

71、 of sync” in Paragraph 5 probably means _ .A. breaking the habit of doing something B. getting used to doing somethingC. having no idea of something D. having trouble keeping up with something68We can infer from the article that _ .A. the Oxford University project is targeted at all British high sch

72、oolsB. getting up late is a sign of laziness in the eyes of most British parentsC. children and adults have different natural cycles of sleep and wakefulnessD. there is still no scientific evidence that supports a late school start time69What is the authors attitude toward the Oxford University proj

Today it is not difficult to find social networking pages full of photos people have taken of themselves.With the rapid development of the Internet, an increasing number of people tend to take selfies and share them on social media, hoping

Moreover, the widely used applications which can easily beautify images contribute to more people sharing their selfies online.Personally, selfie is a popular way of s

However, when obsessed too much with self images, teenagers may form a wrong viewpoint that recognition and comments from others are more important than life experiences. Therefore, only when

Thank you for your listening. Im Doctor Reid. Today I will discuss the effect of sleep on school students with you. The first

110、thing is whether a lack of sleep affects teenagers. The answer is “Yes”Many teenagers are getting little sleep and there are concerns that this could have a serious longterm effect on their health but we dont know for sure yet. Researchers are also looking into how far a lack of sleep affects young

111、people with low spirits. But one study has clearly shown that high school students getting low grades also get on average one hour less sleep than students getting As. Then why arent teenagers getting enough sleep? Its a problem that seems to affect all teenagers, not just the ones who eat the wrong

112、 things or who dont take any exercise. I think too many teenagers watch TV in their rooms or play computer games until very late. Some students say they stay up late because they cant get to sleep if they go to bed earlier. Well, dont have any soft drinks or any drink that include hot chocolate befo

113、re sleeping. Reading a book you know well or listening to a story, rather than music, should help your brain to relax. So you shouldnt do your homework just before going to sleep. It would be better for schools to stay open for longer so that pupils can do their homework before they get home. Another thing that some schools have tried successfully is to begin the school day half an hour later and end the school day half an hour later, which seems like a good idea to me, and I really recommend that.- 22 -
