These traditions can be as unique and special as the family itself.In addition to being some- thing to look forward to,traditions also establish a foundation for family values and serve as special bonding experiences.Traditions can provide families with a sense of identity and belonging.They can inspire positive feelings and memories upon which family members can recall.Family traditions also provide a sense of continuity across generations.In other words,they are a way of transferring the family's values,history,and culture from one generation to the nextPeople create and maintain family traditions because they bring meaning to celebrations and foster special bonds.More importantly,traditions create positive experiences and memo-ries tor everyone by nurturing a family's connection and giving them a sense of belonging.Family traditions also help children understand who they are and what is important to the family to which they belong.Traditions create a connection for children that comes from feel- ing like they are part of something that is unique and extraordinary.Family traditions can even contribute to children's self-esteem and enhance their well being.After all,children find comfort ana security when things are predictable and consistent.Family traditions don't have to be tormal nor do they have to cost money.All that is re- quired to create a new family tradition is something meaningful to your family and a little crea- tivity.Additionally,family traditions do not have to revolve around the holidays.You can create family traditions for just about any time of year.Simply look for ways for your family to spend time together doing something they enjoy.1.What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A.The way of creating family traditions.B.The foundation of family values and bonds.C.The definition and function of family traditions.D.The effects of family traditions on family members.2.What does the underlined word“transferring”in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Passing down.

D.Stress the importance of saving money.BWhich is better for Earth:an electric or a gas-powered vehicle?The answer to this ques- tion might seem blindingly obvious:Of course electric cars must be better for the environ- ment,because they don't have exhausts and so don't emit (排放)greenhouse gasses as they drive.However,electric vehicles(EVs)aren't perfect,and they come with their own set of polluting problems.Notably,their batteries contain components,such as lithium,that re-quire a significant amount of energy to source and obtain.But battery production is just one part of an electric car's lifespan.A 2014 study pub-lished in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences looked at the entire life cycle of an EV's emissions,from mining the metals required for the batteries to producing the electricity needed to power them,and then compared this with the average emissions of a gas-powered vehicle.The team found that when electric vehicles are charged with coal-powered electricity,they're actually worse for the environment than traditional gasoline cars.In much of the world,however,national grids(输电网)are now clean enough for EVs to beat their gasoline powered counterparts when it comes to pollution and greenhouse-gas emissions during their lifetimes.“Only when connected to the dirtiest,coal-heavy electric grids do EVs become comparable to gasoline internal combustion engines on a greenhouse gas basis,”said Colin Sheppard,a researcher from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory inCalifornia.There are very few places where electric grids are still supplied entirely or mainly by coal.China is one of them.In 2019 it was estimated that 58%of the country's power supply came from coal and it's likely that some parts of China are still entirely supplied by coal. However,China's grid is improving with more investments in renewablesfor example,it has twice the wind energy capacity as the US and it builds more solar panels per year than any other countries,according to Nature.5.What can we know about EVs from paragraph 1?A.EVs emit greenhouse gases.B.EVs also produce some pollution.C.EVs are perfect for the environment.D.EVs are surely better than gas-powered ones.6.What did the 2014 study find?A.Traditional gasoline cars are much better than EVs.B.Coal-powered electricity is important for EVs'operation.C.Coal-powered electricity for EVs makes matters worse.D.Battery production is the main source of pollution of EVs.7.What's Colin Sheppard's attitude toward EVs?A.Supportive. B.Doubtful. C.Disapproving D.Unconcerned.8.What's the text mainly about?A.The future application of EVs.B.How we can protect the environment.C.The scientific revolution of transportation.D.Whether EVs are really better than traditional cars.第二节 (共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。One of the great benefits of being able to record sound is to make books available for lis- tening.With the

also have sound effects or music to help improve thelistening experience.Some book clubs have started offering audio books as part of their services.Libraries alsohave audio books available and they

while,watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business.However,with no money in hand,she gave asigh and had to leave.The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked,"Hey,girl,you want tohave the noodles?"“Oh,yes,but I don't have money on me,”she replied.“That's nothing.I'll treat you today”,said the man.“Come in.”The seller brought her a bowl of noodles;the smell was so attractive.As she was eating,Jenny cried silently.“What is it?”asked the man kindly.“Nothing.Actually I was just touched by your kindness!”said Jenny as she wiped her tears.“Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles,while my mother drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”Hearing the words,the seller smiled,“Girl,do you really think so?I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you?Have you expressed your grati-tude to her?”Jenny sat there,speechless and numb with shock;she remembered her mother's familiar face and weathered hands.“Why didn't I think of that?A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted.Why haven't I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?”On the way home,Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。Approaching the doorway,Jenny took a deep breath. A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司
