Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “100 books
to read ”.
Aren’t you just tired of being told what to do with your time?
Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”:
Swim with Dolphins？
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities.
However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by
第一次质量检测英语试题 第 3 页 共 15 页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get
too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by
propellers(螺旋桨).
Here’s a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but in fact they’re just
opening their mouths.
Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious smile. The 6 million people who visit
the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite
annoying, standing in front of you, holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing
anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay
away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in
front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn’t just be smiling; she’d
be laughing.
So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read
101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the
book at a 20% discount.
21. According to the passage, swimming with dolphins ________.
A. is the world’s most popular tourist activity
B. gives fun to both tourists and dolphins
C. will make tourists busy and tired
D. can cause danger to dolphins
22. What does the author think about going to see the Mona Lisa?
A. Queuing for hours is worthwhile.
B. It is not as satisfying as expected.
C. Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.
D. It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile.
23. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To advertise a book. B. To introduce a website.

Anxiety has followed me around like a lost dog looking for a bone for years now. I
feel it the most strongly when I’m worried about my health or my daughter’s health. I feel
an unusual sensation and all of a sudden: panic! My worries are not limited to health
concerns though, and they go in the direction of anxiety about the future of the world,
worries about my finances, and fears that I’m not good enough.
Let me go back a few decades, back to when anxiety wasn’t part of my life. When I
was a child, I loved art. I drew and I colored because that’s what I enjoyed. I went to
college to become an art teacher. When I finished school in May of 2001, I had a part-time
design job, and after the event of September 11th, 2001, I knew I needed to travel, to get
out of the safe life I was living in my hometown. That’s when my creative practices fell by
the wayside.
Luckily, after the birth of my daughter in 2014, the desire to create came back. At
first, I was using a tiny corner of a bedroom in our rental house to paint. Eventually we
bought a house, and I had the space to spread out, ready to paint whenever the urge struck.
That’s when I started noticing something important: Painting stilled me in a way that
nothing else did. It eased my fears and anxieties in a way other practices (deep breathing,
etc) did not, at least not as consistently. When anxious thoughts start, I know what to do. I
head into my studio, grab some materials, and start creating. Soon enough, the worries are
gone and instead my mind is quiet.
I think the reason why painting is so helpful for my anxiety is that, in order for me to
be anxious, I have to be worrying about the future and what it holds. When I’m doing an
activity that requires my full concentration, I have to be in the moment. It doesn’t matter if
you’re artistic. The only thing that matters is finding a way to be here, in the now, instead
of in the unknowable future.
24. Which of the following best describes the author in paragraph 1?
A. Cautious. B. Impatient. C. Carefree. D.
Insecure.
第一次质量检测英语试题 第 5 页 共 15 页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司25. Why did the author give up on art temporarily?
A. Because her daughter was born. B. Because she couldn’t make a
living.
C. Because some big event happened. D. Because she was busy with her study.
26. How does painting ease the author’s fears and anxieties?
A. Painting makes her stay in a place. B. Colors of painting calm her down.
C. Painting makes less room for worries. D. Painting is a very creative activity.
27. What does the story mainly tell us?
A. What is important is to seize the moment.
B. Anxiety may be beneficial to life at times.
C. It is necessary to learn some art in childhood.
D. Painting is the best way to ease people’s mind.
C
Digital reading appears to be destroying habits of “deep reading”. Astonishing
numbers of people with years of schooling are in effect illiterate. This month’s Ljubljana
Manifesto (宣言) explains: “The digital field may promote more reading than ever in
history, but it also offers many temptations to read in a superficial and scattered (零散的)
manner—or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.”
That’s frightening, because “higher-level reading” has been essential to civilization. It
enables the enlightenment and an international increase in empathy. Without it, we would
suffer a lot. As the Ljubljana Manifesto notes, “as much as one-third of Europeans
struggle even with lower-level reading skills.” More than one-fifth of adults in the US “fall
into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category”. Separately, post-pandemic reading
scores for American 13-year-olds are the lowest in decades. And the Washington-based
Center for Global Development recently estimated that literacy in South Asia and sub-
Saharan Africa among those with five years of schooling has decreased by 10% this past
half century.
Experts in the Ljubljana Manifesto record the demerits of digital reading: “Recent
studies of several different kinds indicate a decline of critical and conscious reading, slow
第一次质量检测英语试题 第 6 页 共 15 页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading.” When you read a book on paper,
you can be entirely inside the experience, absorb hundreds of pages of details thoroughly
and begin to capture the world’s complexity. Online, says Maryanne Wolf of UCLA, we
are “skimming, scanning, scrolling”. The medium is the message: doing deep reading on
your phone is as hard as playing tennis with your phone. Recently, a bright 11-year-old
told me I was wasting time on books: he absorbed more information faster from
Wikipedia. He had a point. But digital readers also absorb more misinformation and
seldom absorb fine perspectives.
In short, as professors from Northwestern University foresaw in 2005, we are
returning to the days when only an elite (精英) “reading class” consumes long texts, which
is worrying.
28. What can we learn about digital reading from paragraph 1?
A. Digital reading has settled the problem of illiteracy.
B. Digital reading has lessened the practice of deep reading.
C. Digital reading has made deep reading accessible to wider readers.
D. Digital reading has aroused a greater appreciation for deep reading.
29. What is the purpose of the numbers used in paragraph 2?
A. To display the popularity of digital reading.
B. To highlight the advantages of deep reading.
C. To present the unfavorable situation of literacy.
D. To stress the illiterate’s lower-level reading skills.
30. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “demerits” in paragraph 3?
A. Effects. B. Marks. C. Features. D. Disadvantages.
31. What might the author continue talking about?
A. Strengths of digital reading. B. Benefits of higher-level reading.
C. Ways to encourage digital reading. D. Measures to practice deep reading.
D
The increased use of light-emitting diodes (LED) and other forms of lighting are now
brightening the night sky at a dramatic rate. Research has revealed that light pollution is
第一次质量检测英语试题 第 7 页 共 15 页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司now causing the night sky to brighten at a rate of around 10% a year, an increase that
threatens to ruin the sight of all but the most brilliant stars in a generation. A child born
where 250 stars are visible at night today would only be able to see about 100 by the
time they reach 18.
Physicist Christopher Kyba, of the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences
told The Observer, “A couple of generations ago, people would have regularly
encountered this glittering vision of the universe—but what was formerly universal is now
extremely rare.” Nevertheless, the introduction of only a modest number of changes to
lighting could make a considerable improvement, Kyba argued. These moves would
include ensuring outdoor lights are carefully capped, point downwards, have limits placed
on their brightness, and are not predominantly blue-white but have red and orange
components.
The problem is that light pollution is still not perceived by the public to be a threat. As
Professor Oscar Corcho, of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, has put it: “The negative
consequences of light pollution are as unknown to the population as those of smoking in
the 1980s.”
Yet action is now urgently needed. Apart from its astronomical impact, light pollution
is harming human health. “When reddish light shines on our bodies, it stimulates
mechanisms including those that break down high levels of sugar in the blood. Since the
introduction of LEDs, that part of the spectrum (光谱) has been removed from artificial
light and it is playing a part in the waves of obesity (肥胖) and rises in diabetes cases we
see today,” said Prof. Fosbury from University College London (UCL).
UCL researchers are preparing to install additional infrared (红外线的) lamps in
hospitals to see if they have an effect on the recovery of patients who would otherwise be
starved of light from this part of the spectrum.
32. What does the author want to show by citing the child’s example?
A. More objects in the universe will disappear.
B. Light pollution is blinding our view of the stars.
C. People’s perception of the universe is inadequate.
第一次质量检测英语试题 第 8 页 共 15 页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司D. New forms of lighting have made stars unnecessary.
33. What does Kyba think of the moves to reduce light pollution?
A. They are practical. B. They are rarely successful.
C. They aren’t worth the effort. D. It takes ages to see the result.
34. What is top of the agenda of tackling light pollution?
A. Controlling population growth. B. Changing people’s perception.
C. Exploring the unknown universe. D. Banning smoking in public places.
35. What does the follow-up study aim to find out about infrared lamps?
A. Whether they help patients recover. B. Whether they increase obesity risk.
C. Whether they leave people starving. D. Whether they raise blood sugar level.

Have you ever had a goal that no matter how hard you worked, or how many
hours you dedicated, it just didn’t seem to make any progress? Despite all your
best effort, it felt like you were running on a treadmill—working hard but not
going anywhere. 3 6
Set yourself a re-evaluation date. Sometimes, the fruits of your labor can be
like an iceberg. Only a small part is visible above the water. 3 7 Self-
doubt and anxiety about whether you’re making any progress can sabotage your
goals even if you’re in fact making significant progress just below the surface. If
you think your goal might take some time to manifest change, try setting a “re-
evaluation date” before you quit and give up on yourself too early. For a “re-
evaluation date”, simply pick a day on the calendar that makes sense for the size
and scope of your particular goal. Then refuse to rethink, reassess, or self-doubt
your decisions until that day.
38 There’s nothing more demoralizing and frustrating than feeling like
you’re constantly messing up or self-sabotaging your own goal. Instead of seeing
第一次质量检测英语试题 第 9 页 共 15 页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司setbacks and failures as negative things, reframe them in your mind as learning
experiences—and those experiences can be some of the best teachers!
Also focus on enjoying the doing. It’s easy to get caught up worrying about
how much progress you’re making and forget to enjoy the actual journey. 3 9
If you constantly feel negative while working towards your goal, you’ll quickly
come to resent it and will be more likely to quit.
So if you’re feeling frustrated about a goal, remember that there just might be
a lot of things happening under the surface you’re not aware of. And remember,
results aren’t everything. Learning, growing, enjoying yourself along the way...
40
A. You will eventually see results.
B. But below, a huge iceberg is forming.
C. Those are the things that really matter.
D. Celebrate your failures as much as your successes.
E. Reframe all your setbacks and failures as learning experiences.
F. If so, there are a few key things that can help you stay on track.
G. If you can find joy working towards your goals, then you will have won half
the battle.

When I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010, we were in the fallout of the
recession (经济衰退). She said a polite “No”.
That didn’t stop me. I googled the 4 1 for a keyboard, drew the keys on a piece
of paper and 4 2 it on my desk. I would click notes on an online 4 3
and “play” them back on my paper one—keeping the 4 4 they made on the
computer in my head. Once my mom saw that I was 4 5 , she borrowed money
and bought me 10 lessons.

Delicate strokes, carved onto wood, with ultimate precision—this is woodblock
printing, an ancient printing technique that advanced human civilization.
As Buddhism prospered in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907),
there was a strong need 6 6 (produce) a large amount of Buddhist scriptures.
Meanwhile, copying 6 7 hand could not meet the 6 8 (rise) demand.
Ancient Chinese craftsmen thus came up with a novel way to mass produce printed works.
Hence came the earliest form of woodblock printing.
6 9 (tradition) woodblock printing comprises four major steps: writing,
engraving, printing, and binding. With each step then further 70 (divide) into
several procedures, it takes 71 (rough) 30 steps to produce a woodblock
print. Carving is at the center of woodblock printing as this painstaking step can
make 72 break the final print. Characters and images 73 (carve) to
produce raised areas or lines that will eventually apply ink to paper. It calls for a pair of
skilled hands.
A five-meter-scroll of the Buddhist scripture Diamond Sutra, printed in 868, is the
“earliest dated printed book” in the words of the British Library 74 it is stored.
It is just one example of ancient works of art that not only tell the wisdom of our
ancestors, but also are an evidence of the pursuit of beauty by Chinese craftsmen
throughout 7 5 (century).
The invention of writing gives life to great thoughts, but it is the invention of
printing that makes knowledge a shareable fruit for all humankind.

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。
Katie was happily jumping rope on the grass in front of her house facing the
expansive city park just across the road. The neighborhood residents often enjoyed
walking around the lake in the park, and on this pleasant day, with the sun casting its warm
light, Katie spent the unhurried moments devoted to her jumping routine.
Her thoughts were focused on her jumping: how to match the spinning of the jump
rope in her hands and the jumping of her feet so that they didn’t get mixed, causing her to
trip. When her mind and muscles were working together, and when every move flowed
smoothly, all of it felt pretty good in the afternoon sunshine.
While jumping, she remembered that her grandmother had given her the jump rope
for Christmas. She knew that her grandmother didn’t have a lot of money and had to save
up to buy the jump rope for her. Before Christmas, her grandmother had taken her to some
toy shops to look at different things, hoping to find out what Katie wanted. When Katie
finally got the gift, it was not just a jump rope but the very jump rope she had wanted for a
long time. She felt especially loved by her considerate grandmother.
The warmth of the afternoon sun enhanced the joy Katie felt as she skipped along.
Suddenly a boy rushed across the road to her. Without any warning he robbed her of her
jump rope, shouting,“ Give me that” and raced back across the road towards the park.
Empty-handed, Katie was left in confusion. It took her a while to recover from the

welled up. A wave of anger and disappointment swept over her. But in that moment of
