It has chosen 60 of the best photos from the public for an outdoor exhibition about everyday life called Picturing High Streets. The pictures range from portraits of people to photos of cafes and shops. The exhibition is touring England, starting in Derby from 17 March to 9 April. The photos will be shown in different ways, such as in shop windows and on big advertising boards. In London, the show will also feature photos by Jamil, who has been working with primary school pupils. Jamil told The Week Junior that a great high street “should be a place where people feel welcome and connected to their local community”. Jamil says that Petticoat Lane, where he took many of his photos, has these important ingredients.Dear Peter,I am so delighted to receive your letter. You asked me about the activity of climbing Mount Qingcheng held by our school last month, so I am writing to inform you of the details.In the morning, we set off on the climb full of enthusiasm.

The view was truly breathtaking. In the afternoon, we commenced our return trip.This activity enables me to profoundly comprehend the spirit of pressing forward fearlessly and never giving up. It is an unforgettable and precious experience. Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Li HuaSuddenly, one boy stood up and rushed towards Joe, giving him a hug. “Joe, I’m sorry for teasing you.

After college, it was difficult to find a job. But through all the difficult times, Collette Divitto has had one thing that makes her happy: baking. Divitto, who has Down syndrome (唐氏綜合征), decided to channel her passion into a career, opening her own cookie company.“So actually, I always loved baking since I was 4 years old. From high school, I had been taking baking classes,” said Divitto, 31. “It was a hard time for me. I had no friends. I didn’t have a social life. I got bullied. I got picked on. And that’s why I had been taking baking classes.”After high school, Divitto went to Clemson University in South Carolina, but after graduating, it was difficult for her to find jobs. So, she turned to her mom, who helped her create her own job: CEO of Collettey’s Cookies.“There’re lots of amazing things happening,” Divitto said of the opportunities coming her way. She says her favorite part about running her business is hiring people with disabilities. Collettey’s Cookies helps people with disabilities prepare for their careers, by offering workshops and guidance.In 2023, just 17.9% of people with a disability were employed. But Divitto believes many want to work, federal law does not require employers to pay them minimum wage. That means companies can pay people with disabilities whatever they think they’re worth — something Divitto is working to change.She has appealed to society to help create more jobs for people with disabilities, which she hopes gets the attention of Congress. Collettey’s Cookies now has 15 employees, and about half of them are people with disabilities. And they have a strong leader to look up to. “No matter who you are, you can make a great difference in this world,” Divitto said. “Don’t let people bring you down. Do not focus on your disabilities. You only need to focus on your abilities.”24. What drove Divitto to start her business A. Her being bullied. B. Her mother’s help.C. Her Down syndrome. D. Her failure to land a job.25. Which of the following best describes Divitto’s attitude towards the disabled A. Merciful. B. Appreciative. C. Considerate. D. Tolerant.26. What does Divitto want to work to change A. The salary the disabled get. B. The federal law about the disabled.C. The working conditions of the disabled. D. The role the disabled plays in the Congress.27. What can we infer from the last paragraph A. The disabled act as leaders in her company.B. The government shows no care for the disabled.C. Disabled people have potential to achieve success.D. Employees show respect for Divitto in her company.CThroughout history, many species of animals have been threatened with extinction. When Europeans first arrived in North America, more than 60 million buffalo (水牛) lived on the continent. Yet hunting the buffalo was so popular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animal’s population had fallen to about 400 before the government stepped in to protect the species. In some countries today, the elephant faces a similar challenge, as illegal hunters kill the animals for the ivory in their tusks.Yet not all animals with commercial value face this threat. The cow, for example, is a valuable source of food, but no one worries that the cow will soon be extinct. Why does the commercial value of ivory threaten the elephant, while the commercial value of beef protects the cow The reason is that elephants are a common resource, while cows are private goods. Elephants wander freely without any owners. The hunter has a strong motivation to kill as many elephants as he can find. Because illegal hunters are numerous, each has only a slight motivation to preserve the elephant population. By contrast, cattle live on farms that are privately owned. Each farmer makes great effort to maintain the cattle population on his farm because he harvests the benefit of these efforts.Governments have tried to solve the elephants problem in two ways. Some countries, such as Kenya and Uganda, have made it illegal to kill elephants and sell their ivory. Yet these laws have been hard to put into effect, and elephant populations have continued to decrease. By contrast, other countries, such as Malawi and Namibia, have made elephants private goods and allowed people to kill elephants, but only those on their own property.With private ownership and the profit motive now on its side, the African elephant might someday be as safe from extinction as the cow. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle pointed out the problem with common resources: “What is common to many is taken least care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than for what they possess in common with others.”Why does the author mention buffalo in Paragraph 1 To introduce a similar threat to elephant.To provide an example of species extinction.To offer an explanation for government policies.D. To present the statistics of the buffalo in America.Why do elephants face threats while cows are safe They are under different law protection. B. They attract different groups of hunters.C. They contain different commercial value. D. They represent different ownership types.30. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about A. Bans on killing elephants for ivory. B. Effective laws for elephant protection.C. Methods of making elephants private goods. D. Government policies on the elephants problem.31. What can we learn from Aristotle’s words A. People hold little regard for others’ property.B. People want to profit from common resources.C. People care more about their own possession.D. People tend to take what they own for granted.DAt a time when Americans consume more than half of their daily calories from ultra-processed (超加工的) foods, there is increasing evidence showing that eating too much of these foods can make us sick. A recent study published in the British Medical Journal finds people who consume high amounts of these foods have an increased risk of anxiety, depression, and certain cancers. The data come from more than 9 million people who participated in dozens of studies.Ultra-processed foods are ubiquitous in our food supply. Among the most common are highly refined bread, fast food, sugary drinks, cookies, and other packaged snacks. They are often high in salt, sugar, fat and calories and low in fiber and micro- nutrients such as vitamins.Although no evidence proves that consumption of ultra-processed foods can directly cause anxiety, cancer or other health conditions, a growing body of evidence shows that ultra-processed foods contribute to the development of these conditions.A study published last year found people in the habit of consuming high levels of ultra-processed foods were about three times more likely to develop cancer, compared to those who consumed the least. When it comes to mood and mental health conditions, a French study showed that adults who maintained an unhealthy diet had more depressive symptoms. “We saw a roughly 20 to 50% increased risk of depressive symptoms in people who had diets that were high in ultra-processed foods,” says Wolfgang Marx, a researcher.A panel of advisors is currently evaluating all the latest diet and nutrition studies as part of a process to update the country’s Dietary Guidelines. It is possible that they could recommend limits on ultra-processed foods. On the regulatory side, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is moving ahead to finalize a new definition of the term “healthy”. The FDA says a “healthy” claim on food labels could help consumers identify healthier choices with a quick look and may encourage food companies to improve their products.32. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean A. Nutritious. B. Widespread. C. Cheap. D. Profitable.33. What are the studies in Paragraph 4 mainly intended to show about ultra-processed foods A. They are linked to some health problems. B. They become more popular among adults.C. They directly lead to depressive symptoms. D. They should be consumed in a proper way. 34. What is the last paragraph mainly about A. Food companies’ future plans. B. New guidelines for food sales.C. Limits on ultra-processed foods. D. Responses to ultra-processed foods.35. Where does the text most probably appear A. In a health magazine. B. In a biology textbook.C. In a medical guideline. D. In a food advertisement.第二節 閱讀短文,從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。(每題2.5分,共12.5分) 36 . But I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction (拍賣).Buying for beginners: Sign up on www.ebay.co.uk. Most items (e. g. tables, computers, and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with “Buy It Now” and have a fixed price. 37 .Process of bidding: If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish you get an email telling you whether you have won the item. 38 : Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders.

The rest of his classmates laughed. Joe looked down in shame, but he knew he had to keep growing it for his reasons.The previous year, Joe had decided to grow his hair, a decision that hadn’t attracted much attention due to the start of the summer holidays. However, now that he was back at school, everyone saw how overgrown his hair was because he kept it in a ponytail.Unfortunately, the comments didn’t stop. Every day, the boys in his class teased him, believing he simply wanted to be different. The poor eight-year-old boy returned home each day in tears, but he never told the truth to his parents. Instead, he started hiding his tears in the bathroom at some point.Mrs. Burns, the art teacher, was relatively new at the school. One day, after everyone had left for recess (課間休息), she found Joe crying. “Joe, what’s going on Why are you growing your hair so long ” she asked gently.“Well, I volunteered in a children’s hospital last April. There were many kids who had cancer and lost their hair,” Joe explained. After a brief pause, he continued, “The hospital called for young volunteers to grow hair and donate it. They would use the donated hair to create beautiful wigs (假發) for those unfortunate children. Since then, I’ve been growing my hair. Unfortunately, now boys in my class often laugh at me when seeing my long hair.”Touched by his story, Mrs. Burns asked, “Do your classmates know why you’re growing your hair ” Joe shook his head, telling that no one had ever asked him. “Do you have any photos of the children in the hospital ” she asked. Joe nodded and quickly took a few out from his school bag.Mrs. Burns took them from Joe’s hands and looked at them carefully. What came into her eyes were some children lying in bed, most of whom were smiling bravely. Deeply touched, she gave Joe a huge hug. “Joe, you should be proud of yourself for helping others. Let me help you!” She said gently, her voice full of admiration. When the bell rang, Joe’s classmates hurriedly returned to the classroom. Having noted that everyone was seated, Mrs. Burns showed them photos of those poor kids. After hearing the story, Joe’s classmates were all moved, with tears welling up in their eyes.Suddenly, one boy stood up and rushed towards Joe, giving him a hug. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 展開更多...... 收起↑ 資源列表 高二英語 答案.docx 高二英語.docx 縮略圖、資源來源于二一教育資源庫
