must-visit places in England that you can easily get to by car, train or coach from London.

Graduation is a significant milestone for everyone. An 89-year-old man called Rene Neira had been trying to
finish a degree since the 1950s. However, in the 1960s, he was so passionate about urban and economic
development of the southside of San Antonio that he stopped school and got involved with the local government.
From that time, one of his life goals was to earn a degree in economics. In 2017, the grandpa and his 19-year-old
grand-daughter both enrolled (入学) at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
“There were times when we would get lunch together, be in the library together, and just work silently
side-by-side,” Melanie Salazar, Rene’s granddaughter, recalled. “He always had something to say, especially if his
professors had different opinions than him,” Melanie said. “And there were often times when a professor would
高一英语 第 3页（共 11 页）
{#{QQABTQAAogCgABAAABgCQQlICAGQkAGCACoGBEAEoAAAQBFABAA=}#}
invite him to talk about the past.”
Rene’s college years weren’t easy. “He has worked very hard over time. Especially in recent years, with
hearing loss and going through seasons of not having a car, there was a term where he had to take medical leave
because he had a stroke, so he couldn’t go back to school that term. And then the pandemic started,” said Melanie.
After four years, their hard work finally paid off—they graduated. Together, they stood on the stage. Everyone
broke into applause and cheered for this fantastic pair.
Their story has been making waves online. People have nothing but good words for them, “Awww... I love
stories like this. This was such a beautiful moment. Congratulations to both of them. Grandpa definitely
demonstrated that one shouldn’t give up their dream no matter how long it takes,” one wrote. Another wrote, “I’m
motivated to go back to school myself, thanks to his example.”
Rene had the determination to finish his degree even at an advanced stage in his life. Hard work, patience, and
determination are the keys to success, especially when the path is not easy or clear.
19．Why did Rene fail to get a degree when he was young
A．He was not interested in university life then.
B．He devoted himself to city development.
C．He needed to work to support his family.
D．He was not good at his school work.
20．How was Rene’s college life
A．It made him physically ill. B．It was full of surprise.
C．It was smooth and plain. D．It came with challenges.
21．What did people think of Rene’s experience
A．Admirable. B．Doubtful. C．Funny. D．Pitiful.
22．What lesson can we learn from Rene’s story
A．Actions speak louder than words.
B．It is never too late to achieve one’s dream.
C．Genius without education is like silver in the mine.
D．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

For years, David James, who studies insects at Washington State University, had wanted to examine the
高一英语 第 4页（共 11 页）
{#{QQABTQAAogCgABAAABgCQQlICAGQkAGCACoGBEAEoAAAQBFABAA=}#}
migration (迁徙) patterns of West Coast monarch butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶). The route the butterflies travel has been
hardly known because the populations are too small to follow. For every 200 monarchs tagged (打标签 )by a
researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of its trip, James says, and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is
unlikely. Knowing the route is vital to conservation efforts, but James had no way to figure it out- until he got a
phone call from Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.
The prison was looking for new activities to improve the mental health of those serving long-term sentences.
So James began working with prisoners to raise monarchs through the whole process of their transformation. The
adult insects were then tagged and released from the prison. Over five years, nearly 10, 000 monarchs flew from
the facility. Elsewhere in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, researchers released another few thousand.
The tags included email addresses, and soon after the first butterflies took off, James started receiving
messages from people who had spotted them. The butterflies, the reports confirmed, wintered in coastal California.
Twelve of them landed at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz. Several more headed to Bolinas and Morro
Bay.
The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed and other vegetation that are important to
the life cycle of West Coast monarch butterflies. It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners. “They
were very worried that they were going to harm the butterflies, ” James says. Watching the monarch change their
form also touched the men. “This butterfly changed, ” James recalls prisoners telling him, “and maybe we can
too. ”
23．What was hard for David to do in his study
A．Gain financial support. B．Hire qualified workers.
C．Build a new laboratory. D．Find enough monarchs.
24．Why are the butterflies tagged before being released
A．To guarantee their safety.
B．To enable them to fly longer distances.
C．To track their travel routes.
D．To distinguish them from other species.
25．What makes the prisoners feel that they can change
A．The patience the butterflies showed.
B．The hardship the butterflies underwent.
C．The transformation of the butterflies.
高一英语 第 5页（共 11 页）
{#{QQABTQAAogCgABAAABgCQQlICAGQkAGCACoGBEAEoAAAQBFABAA=}#}
D．The devotion of James to the butterflies.
26．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The impact of the research.
B．The findings of James’ study.
C．The release of the prisoners.
D．The life cycle of the butterflies.

Art and science may seem like opposite things. One means the creative flow of ideas, and the other means cold,
hard data—some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Now, a study finds art can help students
remember better what they learned in science class.
Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, noticed that students who used art in
the classroom listened more carefully. They might ask more questions. They might volunteer more ideas. What's
more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved（涉
及）art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.
In the experiment, the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided
traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In a traditional science class, for example, students might read
aloud from a book. In the art-focused one, they might sing the information instead.
The team randomly assigned（随机分配）each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or
an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit—about three weeks. When they
changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, each student had both an art-focused
class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the
researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.
The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an
art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional
science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques（技巧）after going back to a traditional
class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing
the unit. "The more we hear something, the more we retain it," Hardiman says. "It suggests that the arts may help
students apply creative ways of learning on their own."
27．Why did Mariale Hardiman do the study
高一英语 第 6页（共 11 页）
{#{QQABTQAAogCgABAAABgCQQlICAGQkAGCACoGBEAEoAAAQBFABAA=}#}
A．To prove the importance of art at school.
B．To see if art might improve science learning.
C．To find a way to help her students learn better.
D．To know how to encourage students to ask questions.
28．What were the students required to do in the experiment
A．Learn three units in total.
B．Take two types of classes.
C．Learn two topics for three weeks.
D．Choose what they'd like to learn.
29．What does the underlined word "retain" in the last paragraph mean
A．Finish. B．Express.
C．Improve. D．Memorize.
30．What is the text mainly about
A．Art helps students develop creativity.
B．Art-focused classes interest students a lot
C．Art can make science easier to remember.
D．Art has something in common with science.

If you stayed up or had a bad night of sleep last night, you know it’s difficult to stay awake in class today.
Your teacher’s voice might begin to sound like a lullaby (摇篮曲). 31 To keep yourself awake, some tips
are worth trying in class.
Sit in the front of the room. Why 32 Besides, you’ll be more motivated to stay awake if you know
that the teacher can see you easily. You’ll also be near the people who are more likely to participate, and the sound
of their voices might keep you awake.
33 Ask and answer questions and pay attention to the lecture. This will help if you’re tired or
discouraged by the content of the lecture, because you can ask your teacher questions to get to the bottom of the
problems. Talking will also keep you engaged and alert. It might be helpful to make a goal for yourself to answer or
ask at least 3 questions per class. 34 For example, you might say “I didn’t understand the last part of the
高一英语 第 7页（共 11 页）
{#{QQABTQAAogCgABAAABgCQQlICAGQkAGCACoGBEAEoAAAQBFABAA=}#}
proof. Could you explain it again in more detail ”
Listen actively to the lesson. Active listening is a great way to force yourself to stay awake because it requires
engagement of your mind as well as your body. 35 To effectively listen to your teacher, you should try to
maintain eye contact, face the speaker, pay close attention to what the speaker is saying and ask questions during a
pause in the lecture.
A．Develop interest in the subject.
B．Get involved in class activities.
C．If so, classes can be boring because you’re tired,
D．Take notes and try to catch as much information as possible.
E．It’ll be easier to pay attention and participate when you’re in the front.
F．To avoid annoying your teacher you should try to keep your questions specific.
G．Practicing active listening can help you keep your eyes open for the length of the lesson.

Every autumn, 56_________(million) of North American monarch butterflies begin a long and difficult
journey. Somehow they manage to travel around 4,000 kilometers south and find 57__________way to California
or Mexico. However, until recently no one knew how they did this.
A team of scientists 58_________(lead) by Professor Eli Shlizerman at the University of Washington has now
found the answer. They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day. It uses its eyes to measure
the position of the sun. These two pieces of information -- the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky
-- allow the butterfly to determine the way to go. 59_________(eventual), it manages to reach the place
60___________ it will spend the winter.
The solution 61______ the mystery of the monarch’s amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious
trouble. Its population 62____________(crash) by as mush as 90 per cent in the last few years. Sadly, human
activity is the main reason 63__________ the number of monarch butterflies is falling. In many of the places where
the butterfly can be found, people are destroying the natural environment. The research on the monarch’s behaviour
has however led to 64_________greater awareness of this creature. People have been working together
65_____________ (record) its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on .If this works,
there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies increases once again.

How are you getting along with your senior high school It may be hard for you as this is the first time that
you 66__________(leave) your parents. I know that you are now having trouble 67__________(communicate) with
others, and you may often feel lonely. That’s 68__________ you are new here and people don’t know about you.
But I think you can overcome the difficulty if you can follow the advice below.
First, you should attach great 69__________(important) to taking an active part in the discussions and
show your own opinions about the matters, and at the same time, learn to listen to other people’s views
70__________(careful). Second, you should learn about your classmates’ likes and dislikes, 71__________ can
make you get familiar with them. Only in this way can you get to know more 72__________(difference) people
and show them that you are just as friendly. Last but not least, I’m always here ready to help. We can take part in
some 73__________(activity) together and I can introduce you to others.

作文范文：
To raise our awareness of protecting animals, our school held diverse activities on October 4th, "World Animal Day". A photo exhibition attracted a number of students, showing us many animals are becoming endangered species for various reasons like illegal hunting and pollution. More inspiring was a speech contest where participants eagerly talked about how we individuals could make a difference.
The activities turned out a great success. As one student put it, "It's really distressing to see the animals dying out at such an alarming rate. It's time we should spare no effort to protect them."
