8、ver met. I lived in Mississauga, Ontario, and was the only Jewish student in my gradesometimes the only one in the whole school. This difference set me apart.Every September, I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know. The note explained that I w
9、ould be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I fretted that my teachers would label me the “Jewish kid”.The real trouble always came as the local new years festival approached. I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah, not this festival. At school, on one day before th
10、e winter break, every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival. However, the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, a Jewish festival song, and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks. As my friends counted down the days until the fes
11、tival, I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal.Each year during primary school, my mother would coordinate (协调) with my teacher to come to my class and tell the story of Hanukkah. She would prepare treats and materials depending on my age. Every time I would proudl
12、y stand beside her as she told the story of Hanukkah and explained the symbols. The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions. After my mom left, I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes. My moms annual visits to my school
13、 sparked (激发) interest from other parents as well. Over the years, we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy.My mom showed me, my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared, an intention which I continue to set

But it wasnt always that way.Wheat only came to the area now known as northern China toward the end of the Neolithic pe
17、riod, some 4,600 years ago. Initially, wheat didnt seem to be so delicious and had been treated as a crop of desperation rather than a cooking delight. The first farmers of northern China primarily grew millet, starting as early as 11,500 years ago. By the time of the Tang dynasty, wheat had replace
18、d millet, becoming a major crop. But relatively little was known about exactly why this shift occurred.In an attempt to track the answer, I accumulated a collection of nearly 1,200 data points covering more than 50 sites from the mid-Neolithic, about 9,000 years ago, to the collapse of the Eastern H
19、an dynasty in 220 ADThe sites were across 8 modern provinces, ranging from Gansu province in the northwest to Shandong province in the east.One possible explanation is a major climate shift, called the Holocene Event 3, which happened 4,000 to 4,500 years ago. At that time, the climate became colder
20、 and drier across continents, causing damage to crop production.On top of this, the late Neolithic period was also a time of rapid population growth around the world. With an ever-increasing population and unsteady crop production, it is reasonable to assume that Neolithic farmers in northern China
21、were struggling.Wheat, it turns out, actually needs more water than millet, making it seem a poor choice for a dry period of history. But importantly, it can be sowed after millet has been harvested. That, we think, is the most likely reason why the people across northern China started to grow wheat
22、.From more extreme weather to changing coastlines, climate change has always brought unexpected and sometimes dramatic changes to societies. In this instance, the consequence of the Holocene Event 3 in northern China proved, eventually, delicious.8What can we learn about wheat from the second paragr
23、aph?AIt replaced millet for its great taste.BIt was a poor choice at the beginning.CIt outnumbered millet 4,600 years ago.DIt was the earliest crop grown in China.9What do the figures in paragraph 3 show?AThe author found the exact answer.BThe author did worldwide research.CThe author took the resea
24、rch seriously.DThe author was good at collecting data.10What was probably the main reason for northerners in China to grow wheat?AThe water supply was enough then.BThe harvest of millet was not satisfying.CIt adjusted to the weather conditions better.DIt had an alternative sowing season with millet.
25、11Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AHow was millet introduced to China?BWhy did Chinese farmers switch to wheat?CWhy did China become the biggest wheat consumer?DHow was Chinas wheat growth affected by climate change?The robots are alive, and now they can reproduce.Thats not
26、 a continuation to “The Terminator” Its the latest result of research among scientists at Harvard and the University of Vermont. These xenobots, named for the African frog Xenopus laevis, could move around and display collective behavior.The researchers took stem cells (干细胞) from the skin of frog an
27、d put them in salt water, where they came together into balls with a covering of cilia, which are similar to small hairs and enable the organisms (生物体) to move. The scientists noticed that these organisms, xenobots, would collect any particles (粒子) placed in the dish to make piles. They started to w
28、onder whether the tiny robots would do the same thing with individual stem cells, so they conducted a test.Knowing that xenobots5 shapes affect their behavior, the researchers tried to figure out which form would help the organism to reproduce repeatedly. They discovered that a “C” shape seemed to b
29、e the best. The C-shaped xenobots gathered individual stem cells into groups, which became xenobots of their own. This type of reproduction is based on the organisms movement, rather than growing and then forming a new being as other animals and plants do.Xenobots are on an unusual line between livi
30、ng organisms and robots. They are organisms because they are made of stem cells and can reproduce. But they are also robots because they can move on their own and perform physical labor. Although most robots are made of metal, robots are given the definition not by their material, but by what they c
31、an do.Before now, Kriegman, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University, said, “no one has been using living materials as self-moving, self-powered robots.” The researchers hope that the xenobots can help them better understand the process of reproduction a fundamental quality of life and how to con
32、trol it. Faced with a world full of self-reproducing problems, such as Covid-19, Kriegman said studying xenobots could lead scientists closer to solutions.12What inspired the researchers to perform an experiment?AThe position of particles.BThe gathering of stem cells.CThe movement of organisms.DThe
33、collective ability of xenobots.13What is special about the C-shaped xenobots reproduction?AIts repeated constantly.BIt generates new beings.CIt separates individual stem cells.DIts based on xenobots motion.14How are xenobots defined as robots?ABy their function.BBy their reproduction.CBy their uniqu
34、e component.DBy their physical appearance.15What can be inferred about the research from the last paragraph?AIt could make a breakthrough.BIt would bring scientists closer.CIt could find the secret of reproduction.DIt would discover the solution to Covid-19.二、七选五Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least
35、himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people lack verbal skills. _16_Art therapy is founded on the assumption that everyone is creative and capable of self-expression._17_ As a restorative practic
36、e, it allows people to express themselves in non-verbal ways, such as drawing and painting. Even a 45-minute creative activity can change a persons mental state. Working with an art therapist does even more: _18_Young children typically draw and sing and dance without worrying about their abilities.
37、 Adults, however, often have complex feelings about art and art making. They begin to evaluate the quality of their art instead of focusing on self-expression itself. _19_ However, art therapists can guide people in expressing themselves without concerning whether their artwork is technically brilli
38、ant, so that they can connect or reconnect with the artworks that help them deal with life challenges.What are art therapists superpower? They can channel dangerous thoughts into imaginative artworks. For instance, people with violent tendencies might let out their anger by hitting another human bei
39、ng. _20_ These artistic choices satisfy the brains desire for novelty without compromising personal safety.AArt therapy is a double-edged sword.BThus, the many benefits of creative self-expression are lost.CThey develop art as an expressive skill for solving problems.DBut, obviously, releasing their
40、 anger in this way isnt a good choice.EArt therapy, in its own ways, can influence a range of human functioning.FIt can significantly enhance positive moods and boost measures of well-being.GHowever, with art therapists help, their energy could be changed into creative products.三、完形填空Most young peop
