memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every evening when he came home from the office.Id watch as he put his personal items away:his watch,wallet,comb and car keys would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.Dads comb was bought when he married Mum.Every evening,he would smile,hand me the comb and say:“Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it,OK?”I was more than happy to do it.This seems amundanetask,but it brought me such joy at that time.I would excitedly turn the tap on,then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could.Satisfied that Id done a good job,I would proudly return the comb to Dad.He would smile at me,and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later,Dad started his own business.I started primary school.That was when things started to change.Dads business wasnt doing so well,and he didnt come home as much as he used to.Over the years,I stopped waiting for him to come home.Today,Ive graduated from college and Dads business are better now.Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me continued.Two days before my birthday last year,Dad came home early and said to me,“Hey,would you like to help me clean my comb?”I looked at him a while,then took the comb and headed to the sink.Its a new comb.I hadnt noticed that hed changed it.I brushed the comb,and it hit me then:why,as a child,helping my dad clean his comb was such a joy.I passed the clean comb back to Dad.This time,I noticed my day has aged.But his smile is still as heartwarming as before.Dad carefully places his comb on top of his wallet.After so many years,I guess some things never change.And for that,Im glad.4.As a child,the author helped her dad clean his comb happily because _.A.she was good at cleaning the comb B.she thought that she

the late1800s,industrialization had driven urban populations and land prices up,making tall buildings increasingly cost-effective,according to Carol Willis,director of theSkyscraperMuseuminNew York,“The very first tall buildings were office buildings that concentrated a work force,piled one on top of the other in order to make business very efficient,”she says.Like all major changes in architecture,the trend wasunderpinnedby engineering.The development of steel framework,which could be used instead of load-bearing stones,made it easier and cheaper to build tall.The coming of the elevator,meanwhile,made living on higher floors far more convenient.Though similar in shape,todays skyscrapers(摩天大楼)look little like those built in the first half of the 20thcentury.This is mostly thanks to architectures next major technological shift：the curtain wall.Postwar developments in manufacturing meant that huge panes of glass could be produced quickly and uniformly,and glass windows soon became the front of choice for high-rises.As well as allowing for greater floor space and more natural light,glass exteriors(外部)help.buildings resist greater windloads.There are now 191 completed skyscrapers that are at least 300 meters tall.But that doesnt mean our cities will grow taller indefinitely.While each additional story adds sellable floor space,construction costs also rise.All buildings reach a point where adding an extra floor will cost more money than it brings.“Every city wants to have this landmark that gives that sense of distinct culture,”but it also needs places for people to live and work in urban settings“without the city sprawling(无序扩张),”explains Hong Kong architect Simon Chan.The next big challenge facing architects goes beyond height：At a time when buildings and their construction account for more than a third of the worlds energy consumption and contribute about 40%of greenhouse gas emissions(排放),there are new costs to consider.Whether its employing more energy-efficient materials,encouraging natural air or using buildings themselves to generate solar or wind energy,reducing carbon emissions is the new frontier for many skyscraper architects.8.What does the underlined word“underpinned”in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Created.B.Prepared.C.Suggested.D.Supported.9.What made living on higher floors much more convenient?A.The development of steel framework.B.Load-bearing stones.C.The use of the elevator.D.The curtain wall.10.What can we know from paragraph 5?A.Our cities will grow taller definitely.B.All skyscrapers are at least 300 meters tall.C.Construction cost rises as the stories increase.D.The profit for builders will be greater as the building becomes higher.11.Whats the next big challenge facing architects?A.How to build the greenest building.B.How to build the strongest building.C.How to build the tallest building in the world.D.How to build the most comfortable building.D To stay healthy and fit,Chinesestudents do group exercises every day at school.Most of you probably do the same set of exercises.But some school exercises have grown popular online due to their local and innovative designs.Singing in Sichuan dialects with energetic movements and unique mask-changing is not just a Sichuan Opera performance.Its the routine exercise for students of Mianyang Foreign Languages Experimental School in Sichuan province.“Sichuan Opera is a local opera,and it is now facing a gap in inheritance(传承).Therefore,we cooperated with Mianyang Intangible Cultural Heritage Center to create a simple and easy-to-learn Sichuan Opera exercise,”said Shen Junhua,who is in charge of organizing the schools exercise between classes.According to Shen,this new type of exercise has been practiced since 2017 and has been popular among students.When students enroll(入学),they will spend several weeks practicing it.At present,almost all of the students and teachers have mastered it.“In fact,we had hardly heard of Sichuan Opera before teachers taught us how to do the Sichuan Opera exercise,”said Li Yangwenwen,14,an eighth grade student who also joined the schools Sichuan Opera club out of interest.“Its very different from normal exercises.After practicing it,we found it very beautiful and became interested in it.Now,almost all of the students look forward to our daily exercise time and feel excited to do it.”“By combining opera with daily exercise,the daily class activity allows students to perceive and understand Sichuan Operas culture”,Shen said.“After years of continuous effort to spread the seeds of traditional culture,the younger generation is finally catching on.”12.What do students in Shens school do during the group exercise?A.They do normal exercise.B.They sing pop songs in Sichuan dialects.C.They do mask-changing in a Sichuan Opera performance.D.They combine group exercise with Sichuan Opera.13.Why do they adopt the new type of exercise?A.To attract new students to the school.B.To inherit local culture.C.To create an easy-to-learn exercise.D.To make the schools group exercise popular.14.How do teachers and students react to the group exercise?A.Calm.B.Indifferent.C.Enthusiastic.D.Uninterested.15.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Shens continuous effort is highly praised.B.The younger generation will have a stronger body.C.The students can better understand their local culture.D.Students help to spread the seeds of traditional culture toyounger generation.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Individuals who believe their talents can be developed（through hard work,good strategies,and input from others）have a growth mindset（思维模式）.They tend to achieve more than those with a more fixed mindset（those who believetheir talents are born）.This is because they worry less about looking smart and they put more energy into learning._16_Lets take a look at three common misconceptions.17.I already have it,and I always have.People often confuse a growth mindsetwith being flexible or open-minded or with having a positive outlook qualities they believe theyve simply always had.My colleagues and 1 call this a false growth mindset._18_And that mixture continually evolves with experience.A“pure growth mindset doesnt exist,which we have to acknowledge in order to attain the benefits we seek.19.A growth mindset is just about praising and rewarding effort._20_In both settings,outcomes matter.Unproductive effort is never a good thing.Its critical to reward not just effort but learning and progress,and to emphasize the processes that yield these things,such as seeking help from others,trying new strategies,and taking advantage of setbacks to move forward effectively.21._22_Missionstatements are wonderful things.You cant argue with values like growth,empowerment（赋能），or innovation.But what do they mean to employees if the company doesnt carry out policies that make them real and attainable?_23_Organizations that embody a growth mindset encourage appropriate risk-taking,knowing that some risks wont work out.They reward employees for important and useful lessons learned,even if a project does not meet its original goals.A.They just amount to lip service.B.Just hold a growth mindset,and good things will happen.C.Everyone is a mixture of fixed mindset and growth mindset.D.But I often discover that peoples understanding of the idea is limited.E.To remain in a growth zone,we must identify and work with these mistaken ideas.F.Embrace a growth mindset and you will feel far more empowered and committed.G.This isnt true for students in schools,and its not true for employees in organizations.第二部分
