Dear Richard,
I hope this letter finds you well. Our school will hold a musical concert next Saturday. Knowing that you have great interest in music, I’m writing this letter to invite you to attend it.
The concert will be scheduled in our school hall from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. next Saturday, lasting 2 hours. During this concert, not only can we appreciate classical folk songs of China and western countries, but we can also have a chance to listen to the music originally composed by gifted students as well. It is guaranteed that you will be deeply impressed by the combination of Chinese folk music with western musical instruments.
I am sure you will enjoy yourself and have fun.
Yours sincerely,

Mom heard us and came to help. “I know how to make a bird and a flower,” she said. She quickly folded a napkin, and then unfolded it to show us how the shapes fit together. Just then, Dad came home from work and showed us how to make a plane and a boat. “Okay,” he said. “In 20 minutes your grandma will walk through that door. We’d better get these napkins folded before she comes!” Soon we turned all the napkins into different shapes.
We placed a different origami napkin on each plate. Now, the table looked great! And just in time, Grandma arrived by taxi and hugged us one by one. Then she showed us the gifts she brought from the countryside. But I couldn’t wait to lead her to the dining room to see our great work. Just as I expected, when seeing what was on the table, she was very surprised and happy. We all smiled. We were happy that Grandma thought Mom’s home was perfect!乌江新高考协作体2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试

Canada is diverse and vast, and the festivals celebrated there reflect this. Here are some exciting ones that attract visitors worldwide.
Vancouver Celebration of Light
The largest fireworks competition in the world is held every summer in Vancouver. It consists of concerts, food stalls, and the Seawall Challenge, a popular urban adventure race. The festival, which lasts about a week, makes for a great way to get to know the city from a local standpoint.
Edmonton Folk Festival
From its humble beginning in 1980, Edmonton Folk Festival has grown to be one of the world’s famous folk festivals. Held each August, the lineup of the 10-day-long festival is always outstanding and ticket prices stay reasonable. Edmonton is also a gateway to Jasper and the Canadian Rockies, about two hours away in case you have extra time to explore after the festival.
Toronto International Film Festival
Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is one of the leading film festivals in the world, ranking closely with Cannes and Sundance. Films such as Hotel Rwanda, American Beauty, and The Big Chill made their premieres (首映) at this famous star-filled event held each September. The 11-day-long festival is also known as the kick-off of awards season, with many films that make their first public performance at TIFF going on to get nominated for Oscars and Golden Globe awards.
Montreal Comedy Festival
Since 1983, Montreal Comedy Festival, or, Just for Laughs as it is more commonly known, has been inviting people to get together just for fun, just for entertainment-just for laughs. The festival, which takes place every year for two weeks in July, has grown in popularity and reputation and today features some of the world’s greatest comedians and it also resulted in a television show that is broadcast internationally.

The pyramids of Giza(吉萨金字塔) have been timeless(永恒的) symbols of Egyptian culture. But who actually built them For years, we did not know for sure. But recently an ancient village was discovered near the pyramids. Close by, there was a cemetery(墓地) where pyramid builders were buried. From studying these places, archeologists are now certain that the pyramids were not built by slaves or foreigners (or aliens!). Instead, ordinary Egyptians built them.
It took about eighty years to build the pyramids. According to archeologists, about 20,000 to 30,000 people took part in the task. The workers had different roles. Some were responsible for digging up the rocks that were to be used. Others were tasked with moving them, while another group was given the job of shaping them into blocks. People also worked on different teams, each with its own name. These teams would often compete against each other to do a job faster.
Life for these workers was hard. “We can see that in their skeletons,” says Azza Mohamed Sarry El-Din, a scientist who has been studying the bodies that were found in the cemetery. The bones show signs of arthritis (关节炎), which probably developed as a result of having to carry heavy things for a long time. Archeologists have also found many female skeletons in the cemetery. The damage to their bones is similar to that of the men. Their lives may have been even tougher. Male workers would on average live to be between the ages of 40 and 45, but women would only live to be between the ages of 30 and 35. However, workers usually had enough food, and they also had good medical care when they got sick or hurt.
The work was hard, but the laborers were proud of their work. On a wall in Khufu’s Great Pyramid, for example, a group of workers wrote Friends of Khufu. “It’s because they were not just building the tomb of their king,” says Egyptian archeologist Zahi Hawass. “They were building Egypt. It was a national project, and everyone was a participant.”
4．According to the latest discoveries in the text, who built the pyramids in Egypt
A．Some foreigners. B．Some aliens.
C．Some ordinary Egyptians. D．Some slaves.
5．The underlined word “archeologist” (in paragraph 1) probably means “a person who studies ______.”
A．ancient societies B．living things
C．human behavior D．the outer space
6．What can we know about the pyramid builders from the last paragraph
A．The pyramid builders were looking for new friends.
B．The pyramid builders were very angry with their bosses.
C．The pyramid builders were satisfied with their achievements.
D．The pyramid builders were in trouble because of their bad behavior.
7．What part of the magazine is the passage probably taken from
A．Sports. B．Fashion.
C．Personal Feelings. D．Scientific Research.

Why can’t you remember being a baby Will that trip to Dreamworld be wasted on your toddler (学步的幼儿) Scientists explain how the brain changes from infancy (婴儿期) through to early childhood, and what this means for your child’s memories.
While some people can remember memories from as early as age two, as adults most of us rarely remember things that happen to us before the age of three, due to a phenomenon called “infantile amnesia (婴儿健忘症)”. Generally, we tend to have vague (模糊的) memories of events that occur between the ages of three and seven.
So why is it that we can’t remember being a baby, or a toddler The answer lies in the way that our brain’s ability to store memories changes as we grow. At birth, a baby’s brain is only a quarter of its adult size, growing to three-quarters the size of an adult brain by age two. This increase correlates with a growth in the number of brain cells—called neurons (神经元)一and the connections between these cells.
A part of the brain that is important in forming memories is the hippocampus (海马体), says Dr Dhanisha Jhaveri, a researcher at the Queensland Brain Institute at The University of Queensland. “In the hippocampus, new neurons are constantly being created. In adulthood, new cells are still being produced, but the rate of production in the hippocampus slows down,” says Dr Jhaveri.
Neuroscientists believe that the rapid rate at which brain cells are being produced in childhood could be the cause of infantile amnesia. Because so many new neurons are being produced and form connections with each other in memory circuits (记忆电路), they might disturb existing networks of memories that have already formed.
But it turns out that a child’s ability to remember things for long periods of time improves gradually throughout childhood. For example, in studies in which young kids were taught to imitate an action, six-month-olds could remember what to do for 24 (but not 48) hours, while nine-month-olds could remember what to do one month (but not three months) later.
Despite this memory loss, childhood experiences have been found to influence adult behaviour years later, which suggests that traces of these memories could be stored somewhere in the brain that isn’t easy to access.
So while your kids might not recall their major milestones or be too young to remember a trip to Disneyland, positive experiences as toddlers or in infancy may continue to affect their behaviour long after they’ve forgotten them.
8．What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A．Our brain’s ability to store memories remains unchanged as we grow.
B．The size of the child’s brain by age two is twice the size at birth.
C．The growth in the number of neurons will influence the size of the child’s brain.
D．Neurons have nothing to do with a person’s memory.
9．What is the cause of infantile amnesia according to the neuroscientists
A．The rapid rate of brain cells being produced.
B．The existing networks of memories.
C．The way of our brain storing memories.
D．The memory circuits of our brain.
10．What is paragraph 6 mainly about
A．Childhood experiences will influence adult behaviour years later.
B．Traces of these memories could be stored somewhere in the brain.
C．A child’s ability to remember things improves gradually over time.
D．The younger a baby is, the better its memory is.
11．What is the author’s attitude towards the influence of childhood experiences on adult behaviour years later
A．Subjective. B．Objective. C．Pessimistic. D．Uncaring.
D
Sportsmen in the running races of the Olympics are great athletes, but even the slow runners of the running world —joggers in the park —have good health. A study out this week in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology finds that even 5 to 10 minutes a day of slow running is enough to extend life by several years, compared with not running at all.
The new study focused on a group of more than 55, 000 men and women aged 18 to 100. About a quarter of them were runners. Over 15 years, those who ran just 50 minutes a week or fewer at a slow speed were less likely to die from either cardiovascular(心血管的)disease or other causes, compared with those who didn’t run at all.
The study suggests relatively low efforts are necessary to benefit from jogging, but it can be better to exercise more often. “A little bit is good but a little more is probably better,” says Dr. Aaron Baggish. A 2013 study in Denmark suggested that the secret of maximum longevity is up to 2. 5 hours of running a week.
Although running can make you less likely to have cardiovascular disease, it doesn’t entirely take the risk away from you. “There is no question that the healthier you are and the more exercise you do, the longer you’ll live and the better your quality of life will be,” Dr. Baggish says. “But it doesn’t mean you’ll never get sick.”
“Many long-term runners do not run because they want to live longer,” Dr. Baggish notes. “They run because it makes them feel better every day.”
For these runners, the cost of feeling good can be injuries, so Dr. Baggish supports the value of what he calls “active rest.” His belief, not supported by any recent research, is that it’s a good idea to spend 25% of exercise time over the course of a year running at a slow speed or doing other activities like swimming or biking.
12．What does the new study mainly show us
A．The best way to run. B．The best time to run.
C．The importance of running. D．The popularity of running.
13．What does Dr. Baggish say about cardiovascular disease
A．It can result from running often. B．It’s not completely preventable.
C．It’s not so serious as most people think. D．It can be treated by some kind of exercise.
14．What’s Dr. Baggish’s suggestion for someone doing exercise
A．Staying active all the time. B．Swimming more, run less.
C．Having a big rest after doing sports. D．Taking a little light exercise.
15．In which part of a newspaper can you most probably find this text
A．Health. B．Business. C．Society. D．Medicine.

You've decided your child is spoiled(惯坏的), and you want to do something about it. Is it too late Not necessarily. Here are four tips from an expert forgetting your child to be have well.
16 You've spoiled your child by giving him or her too much for too little. You can correct this by helping your child to learn to work harder for rewards and to understand that not all good behaviour is rewarded. 17 For example, at first, insist that your daughter put a few toys away before she gets a snack, and gradually increase the amount of work required for each reward.
Don't overreact(反应过度) to crying. When children don't get what they want, their natural behaviour is to cry. If you react every time your child cries, you maybe denying(拒绝给予) him or her an important chance to learn something. 18
Prepare for a fight. At the beginning, children's demands will increase when they find out parents are not going to give them the new toys they want. When it happens, be careful not to give in just because the child shouts. 19
Stick with the program. Your child will probably be upset when you begin making changes. 20 It means the requirements are getting stricter and that your child is adjusting(适应). Remember: give it time, and don't give up.
A．Rather, wait until the child calms down.
B．That's not necessarily a bad thing.
C．Start out making changes slowly.
D．Cut down on rewards.
E．Don't try to reason with him or her about the situation.
F．There is little doubt that things will get worse before they get better.
G．As a parent you need to know when to comfort a child and when to simply walk away.

Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not been 21 before. He hopes the public will listen and understand—he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.
What 22 artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not 23 . They seem to feel that a certain 24 of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth 25 to us. Without their work we should never have noticed the 26 shapes and colors, or have felt the 27 which they brought to the artists.
Most artists take shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in 28 and repose(静止); their 29 indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful 30 . Contemporary artists might say that they 31 choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without 32 to the character of their subjects.
If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous(坏疽性的)leg and anther a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a(n) 33 aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, 34 something-all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to 35 us.

47．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。
Mom was busy in the kitchen when my brother Marco and I got home from school on Friday. “Did you remember your grandmother’s coming today ” She asked. “Sure, Mom,” we laughed. “Didn’t you notice we cleaned our rooms ” Mom smiled and continued, “Thanks. I know I shouldn’t be nervous, but my mother hasn’t been here for almost six years! As I was growing up, her house always looked perfect. So I want everything to be well.”
“Perfect,” I said with a smile. “What else can we do to help before she gets here ”
Mom looked around,“You two could set the table. Use the good bowls. And be very careful with the glasses Grandma gave to us before you were born!”
As Mom prepared a big meal, Marco and I set the table. I taught Marco how to line up the forks on the left side of each p late and the knives and spoons on the right. In the center of the table, we placed a set of tall white candles. Then we stepped back and looked at our work. It seemed something was missing. “What’s missing ” I asked Marco.
“Napkins ” He asked. “And I don’t think Mom would want us to use paper ones!”
We both laughed. Marco opened a drawer and took out the nice cloth napkins Mom saved for special occasions （场合）. The soft white squares were folded in the middle, and we placed one on each plate. “Do you think that looks good enough ” I asked.
“No,” Marco answered. “Let’s make them look better. Remember the restaurant we went to last year Their napkins were folded into different shapes! That was great!”
I nodded and unfolded the cloth napkin in front of me. “Look,” I said, pointing to the napkin, “These lines make special shapes. That gives me a great idea! Let’s do origami （折纸）. That’ll make the napkins unique!”
Marco looked confused, so I explained,“Origami’s a kind of folding art. People usually use paper, but you can use cloth. You make boats, birds or flowers just by folding. Nothing else is needed!”
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mom heard us and came to help.
