Then, I drove to meet my new piano teacher, Mark.I had worked for more than three decades as a busy English teacher with an endless stream of papers to mark and precious little time to experiment or learn new skills. I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music.I told Mark I had a specific concrete goal: to play Clair de lune by Claude Debussy, a piece I remember hearing from early childhood.Determined that there would be a day when I would totally master this piece, I set myself a deadline: I would perform before a gathering of friends on my 60th birthday. For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise. When the day came, around 30 friends and relatives crowded into my dining room to hear me play, and aside from a few minor slips, I managed to pull it off without embarrassing myself. People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”.After that, my progress was painfully slow. I had come to hate hearing myself play music badly. I got no pleasure from the act of missing notes.I began focusing on what few things I could do: gardening and cycling. I came to understand that I didn’t have to be that man I’d always thought I ought to be. I could just do what feels good. So, after nearly five years of lessons, I quit.I still love music; I regularly go out to concerts. But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust. And I’m perfectly happy with that.4.Why did the author learn the piano after retiring from teaching?A.To impress his friends and relatives.B.To avoid the boredom of retirement.C.To start a new career as a concert pianist.D.To pursue a long-time passion for music. 5.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A.The author attended a concert of piano music.B.The author performed successfully despite a few errors.C.The author felt embarrassed about his piano performance.D.The author quit his piano immediately after his 60th birthday.6.What does the author do with his piano now?A.He uses it for music lessons.B.He uses it for performance.C.He uses it for something unrelated to music.D.He plays it for personal enjoyment occasionally.7.Which of the following can best describe the author?A.Inner- directed and hardworking.B.Conventional and careless.C.Ambitious and kind-hearted.D.Lazy and pessimistic.When it comes to diatoms (硅藻类) that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis (光合作用) is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled are also building biomass by feeding directly on organic carbon in the ocean.These new findings could lead researchers to reduce their estimate of how much carbon dioxide diatoms pull out of the air via photosynthesis, which in turn, could take a much closer look at the understanding of the global carbon cycle, which is especially relevant given the changing climate. The new findings were published in Science Advances on July 17, 2024.The team showed that the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium, which is found in oceans around the world, regularly performs a mix of both photosynthesis and direct eating of carbon from organic sources such as plankton (浮游生物) . In more than 70% of the water samples the researchers analyzed from oceans around the world, the team found signs of simultaneous photosynthesis and direct organic carbon consumption from Cylindrotheca closterium. The team also showed that this diatom species can grow much faster when consuming organic carbon in addition to photosynthesis. Furthermore, the new research hinted at the possibility that specificspecies of bacteria are feeding organic carbon directly to a large percentage of these diatoms living all across the global ocean. This work is based on a genome-scale metabolic modeling approach that the team used to reveal the metabolism of the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium.The team’s new metabolic modeling data support recent lab experiments suggesting that some diatoms may rely on strategies other than photosynthesis to intake the carbon they need to survive, thrive and build biomass.The UC San Diego led team is in the process of expanding the scope of the project to determine how widespread this non-photosynthetic activity is among other diatom species. 8.What’s new according to the research?A.The way of the diatom’s carbon accumulation.B.The impact of climate on diverse sea plants.C.The procedure of exploring carbon.D.The system of building biomass.9.What do the new findings make researchers more focus on?A.The causes of climate change.B.The grasp of the carbon cycle.C.The bad effect of photosynthesis on diatoms.D.A rough estimate of the amount of carbon dioxide.10.What do we know from paragraph 3?A.A large number of diatoms may feed on bacteria.B.The diatom lives on plankton.C.Water samples are key factors for the research.D.Diatom species grow faster with sufficient sunlight11.Which is the most suitable title for the text?A.Photosynthesis in Diatoms B.Plankton’s Role in OceansC.New Carbon Strategies in Diatoms D.Advances in Modeling DataAccording to a report in 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that non-sugar sweeteners not be used as a means of achieving weight control or reducing the risk of diseases. The guideline came as a surprise. After all, the very purpose of non-sugar sweeteners-which contain little to no calories—is to help consumers control their weight and reduce their risk of disease by replacing sugar.In its report, the WHO cited evidence that long-term use of non-sugar sweeteners is associated with an increased risk of diabetes (糖尿病) and death. How is it that non-sugar sweeteners are linked to the negative health effects they’re supposed to fend off?The WHO made its recommendation after reviewing hundreds of published studies. The problem is that the overwhelming majority of these studies are observational. In such studies, subjects tend to self-report their food intake, which might not guarantee inaccuracy. More importantly, observational studies cannot determine cause and effect. Are non-sugar sweeteners causing diabetes, or are people at risk of diabetes simply more likely to consume them? Lastly, there are numerous variables that researchers can’t possibly control for in these studies that could influence the results.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) tell a different story about non-sugar sweeteners. These studies control for variables by randomly assigning people to either a treatment or control group, and they can determine cause and effect. They show that sweeteners modestly benefit weight loss and help control blood sugar, without the negative effects seen in observational research. The downside of RCTs is that they are shorter in duration, often lasting just a few months. So negative effects could appear after longer use and we wouldn’t be able to tell from these RCTs.But we also can’t tell from observational studies, which only measure correlation and not causality (因果关系) . Changing the current situation might be hard, though. RCTs are expensive and require recruiting participants, setting up diet plans, and regularly measuring subjects’ health outcomes.For change to happen, it might need to start at the top, where science is funded Government agencies, which appropriate billions for research, should start prioritizing RCTs.12.What do the underlined phrase “fend off” probably mean in paragraph 2?A.Put out.B.Defend against.C.Keep up.D.Count on. 13.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.The WHO’s suggestions on observational studies.B.The strategies to decide cause and effect in conducting studies.C.The significance of controlling variables in observational studies.D.The limitations of the observational studies in the WHO report.14.What is a feature of RCTs according to the text?A.They cost little B.They tend to last long.C.They can control variables and determine causality.D.They require participants to self-report related data15.How should the government help RCTs?A.By making appropriate plans B.By providing financial supportC.By raising people’s awareness of health D.By founding more related governmentagenciesTo make science’s stories more concrete and engaging, it’s important to use some effective strategies. Here are four of them. Put people in the storyScience’s stories often lack human characters. 16 . Characters can be also people affected by a scientific topic, or interested in learning more about it. Besides, they can be storytellers who are sharing their personal experiences.17People often think of science as objective and fair. But science is actually a human practice that continuously involves choices, missteps and biases (偏见) . If you explain science as a course, you can walk people through the sequence of how science is done and why researchers reach certain conclusions. 18 . And they can also stress the reason why people should trust the course of science to provide the most accurate conclusions possible given the available information. Include what people care aboutScientific topics are important, but they may not always be the public’s most pressing concerns. In April 2024, a polling company found that “the quality of the environment” was one of thelowest-ranked priorities among people in the US. The stories about the environment could weave in connections to higher-priority topics. 19 . Tell science's storiesScientists, of course, can be science communicators, but everyone can tell science’s stories. When we share information online about health, or talk to friends and family about the weather, we contribute to information that circulates about science topics. 20 . Think about all of a story’s characteristics - character, action, sequence, scope, storyteller and content - and how you might incorporate them into the topic.A.Explain science as a processB.Shoot attractive short science videosC.Scientists themselves can actually become ideal onesD.This practice is to stress why the content is importantE.You can tell growth stories of remarkable teenage scientistsF.Science communicators can emphasize how science is conductedG.You may as well borrow features from stories to strengthen your message二、完形填空In 2018, Molly Baker unfortunately lost her husband in a severe skiing accident. She was 21 . In the first several weeks after his passing, her friends and family 22 a great deal of support. But after a while, the cards and meals started to 23 . “People had to get back to their normal 24 . And so things kind of dropped off,” Baker recalled.That was when one of Baker's friends, Carla Vail, thought up a way to 25 the help for an entire year. She called it the “Calendar Girls”. V ail gathered the names of 31 of Baker's friends who wanted to help, and 26 each friend a particular day. Vail also gave Baker the names on the 27 , so Baker could know what to 28 each day.“And what that looked like for them was that on that day, they would reach out to me in some 29 ways—maybe via text, or a card,” Baker said.Looking back, Baker feels that Vail's 30 was essential to helping her cope with her husband's death, because she was 31 at that time.“A lot of people are really uncomfortable around 32 ,” Baker said. “So what they do is, instead of doing something, that they 33 do nothing. It was nice to have that ‘Calendar Girls’ setup.”Today, Baker tries to do something similar for her friends going through 34 . In hard times, she knows how 35 it is to have something to look forward to every day. 21.A.cautious B.unconscious C.desperate D.impassive 22.A.extended B.demanded C.announced D.assumed 23.A.pass down B.show up C.break up D.slow down24.A.exercise B.routine C.diet D.growth 25.A.resist B.continue C.explain D.test 26.A.ordered B.sent C.owed D.assigned 27.A.furniture B.file C.calendar D.Internet 28.A.expect B.absorb C.propose D.define 29.A.rare B.strange C.specific D.generous 30.A.curiosity B.thoughtfulness C.ambition D.toughness 31.A.innocent B.optimistic C.tolerant D.lonely 32.A.panic B.evidence C.failure D.grief 33.A.simply B.hardly C.skillfully D.secretly 34.A.distraction B.addiction C.loss D.annoyance 35.A.amusing B.valuable C.astonishing D.universal三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

2021届高三英语(yīnɡ yǔ)上学期9月月考试题〔含解析〕一、阅读理解〔本大题一一共7小题,一共分〕AReading can be a social activity.Think of the people who belong to book groups.They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them.Now the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book.Then the person leaves it in a public place,hoping that the book will have an adventure,traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson,the managing director of BookCrossing,says,"The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read.BookCrossing combines both."Members leave books on park benches and buses,in train stations and coffee shops.Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found.BrucePeterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the"real"and not the virtual〔虚拟(xūnǐ)〕.The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.1. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?______A. To explain what they are.B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.2. What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 2 refer to? ______A. The book.B. An adventure.C. A public place.D. The identification number.3.

河北省衡水市2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次调研考试(9月月考)英语试题

河北省衡水市2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次调研考试(9月月考)英语试题

河北省衡水市2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次调研考试(9月月考)英语试题一、阅读理解Below are some strategies that can be employed in class to engage students in learning activities.Think — Pair — ShareThis technique is popular in the lower elementary grades to encourage speaking and listening skills. First, ask students to think about their response to a question, and then ask them to pair up with another person, usually someone nearby. The pair discuss their response, and then they share that response with a larger group.FishbowlA fishbowl is organized with two four student groups who sit facing each other in the center of the room. All the other students sit in a circle around them. Those students seated in the center discuss the question. Students on the outside circle take notes. In a variation, students on the outside may provide quick notes known as “fish food” by passing them to students on the inside for use in their discussion.Concentric CirclesOrganize students into two circles, one outside circle and one inside circle so that each student on the inside is paired with a student on the outside. The teacher poses a question to the whole group. Each pair discuss how to respond. After this brief discussion, the students on the outside circle move one space to the right. This will mean each student will be part of a new pair. The teacher can have them share the results of that discussion or pose a new question.PyramidStudents begin this strategy in pairs and respond to a discussion question with a single partner. At a signal from the teacher, the first pair join another pair which creates a group of four. These groups of four share their ideas. Next, the groups of four move to form groups of eight in order to share their best ideas. This grouping can continue until the whole class is joined up in one large discussion.1.Which strategy can a teacher adopt if he doesn’t want all the students to speak?A.Think — Pair — Share.B.Fishbowl.C.Concentric Circles.D.Pyramid.2.What’s a unique aspect of Concentric Circles?A.Students change partners.B.Students respond to a question.C.Students pass notes to each other.D.Students take turns to present their ideas. 3.How does Pyramid work?A.Best ideas are collected for a presentation.B.One group combines with another with each step.C.The whole class work together to carry out a project.D.Groups of four move around the classroom to share ideas.Malonga was born in Brazzaville, Congo, where his grandmother owned a restaurant. His love for food and cooking started there. He spent his teenage years in Germany and he started his career working in top European restaurants.In 2015, he competed in the French Top Chef TV show as the first Black chef to do so. When it came time to open his own restaurant, he took a two - year tour of the African continent, seeking inspiration.He opened Meza Malonga in 2020. Dinners at Meza Malonga have no menu — the meal changes based on seasonally available ingredients(食材)and what’s exciting Malonga at the moment. Giant windows open onto the hills of Kigali. The chefs present each course. There’s nobody yelling(大喊), “Yes chef!” and Malonga pointedly refers to “our restaurant… our menu… our project.” His longest employee is Frank Buhigiro, who says “The way we work is like we are family. You know, we don’t have pressure because we get time to think and create.”The restaurant is only open for eight months out of the year. For the other four months, Malonga and his team travel the continent. They experience different African cuisines first - hand, and source unique ingredients. But it’s more driven, more intense, than just sourcing. Malonga has visited 48 African countries, eating his way across the continent. Upon returning to Kigali, he brings back new flavors as souvenirs(纪念品).

This experience fired a lifelong passion for birds and conservation, leading him to specialize in ornithology and join Pronatura Península deY ucatán (PPY), an environmental conservation group in Mexico.Gomez’s work is supported by Fish and Wildlife Service grant programs that improves wetland habitats for migratory birds and promotes environmental education and research. One of Gomez’s key projects involves restoring and managing wetland habitats in the Yucatan Peninsula, which has led to the return of several species. These efforts not only support bird populations butalso reduce the vulnerability of coastal communities by improving their capacity to adapt to environmental risks.Community engagement is central to PPY’s success, with the annual Toh Festival being a key example. This festival, named after a bird of cultural significance, hosts a variety of bird-related activities from March to November, including birding marathons, photo expeditions (探险), contests, tours, and workshops. These events inspire community members to appreciate and protect the region’s rich biodiversity.As a nature photographer, Gomez approaches his work with respect for the wildlife, aiming to remain careful to avoid disturbing the birds. His photography serves a higher purpose, creating media communications that support PPY’s environmental education and community outreach initiatives. His images not only record the beauty of birds but also provide a window into their world, inspiring people to learn more about the challenges they face and the habitats they depend on.Ernesto Gomez proved to us the power of photography to inspire and educate. His work ensures that the beauty of Yucatan’s birds and habitats continues to inspire, reminding us of the vital link between people and nature.8.Where did Ernesto Gomez’s interest in ornithology come from?A.An encounter with scarlet macaws.B.A documentary on wetland conservation.C.A photography exhibition about Mexican forests.D.An educational program onenvironmental science.9.What does the underlined word “vulnerability” mean in paragraph 2?A.The stability of regional biodiversity.B.The quality of being weak and easily hurt.C.The capability of managing wetland habitats.D.The probability of being adaptive to environmental risks.10.What is a primary purpose of the Toh Festival?A.To raise funds for conservation projects.B.To engage people in bird-related activities.C.To promote bird - watching as a tourism activity.D.To recognize the work of nature photographers.11.How do Gomez’s photos contribute to PPY’s mission?A.By providing visual documentation for scientific research.B.By attracting birding marathoners to the Yucatan Peninsula.C.By creating media communications for environmental education.D.By encouraging people to face the challenges of environmental conservation.Albino redwoods, with their slightly shining white appearance, are a rare sight in California’s coastal forests. Despite lacking chlorophyll, which is used to photosynthesize(光合作用), these trees have managed to survive, puzzling researchers for over a century. However, a recent study by biologist Zane Moore from the University of California in Davis may have uncovered the secret to their existence.Redwoods rank among the tallest organism on earth and claim an existence of some 3,500 years. They are known for their complex root systems that allow them to communicate and share nutrients during tough times. Researchers have seen this firsthand by introducing dye to trees on one side of an area of redwoods and tracing it all the way to the further reaches. In summer, they become more independent, and those unable to sustain themselves are cut off from the shared system in the autumn needle drop.So, if albino red woods can’t photosynthesize, why are they able to stick around? Moore’s research suggests that albino redwoods survive by tapping into the communal root system and absorbing sugars from healthier neighbors. Contrary to the belief that they are parasites(寄生植物), Moore’s findings indicate a symbiotic(共生) relationship.Albino redwoods tend to grow in less healthy conditions and have been found to contain high levels of poisonous heavy metals in their leaves. Moore theorizes that these trees are not only surviving but also serving a purpose by acting as a “reservoir(水库) for poison”, thus protecting their healthier counterparts. This discovery could potentially make it possible to use albino redwoods in polluted areas to safeguard other trees.The study highlights the interconnectedness of trees and their ability to look out for one another, forming bonds and even recognizing their offspring. Moore’s research emphasizes the importance of considering the entire community of trees, rather than focusing on individuals, to understand what’s happening in the forest.12.What can be learned about redwoods?A.They depend on each other for nutrition in tough times.B.They have unusually strong roots that can reach very far.C.How they photosynthesize has puzzled researchers for long.D.How they communicate among individuals remains a secret.13.How do albino redwood s survive?A.They become parasites of other tree species.B.They rely on the fallen needles for their growth.C.They have developed an alternative method of photosynthesis.D.They absorb sugars from the root system of healthier redwoods.14.What role do albino redwood s play in the forest ecosystem?A.They transport water for the forest.B.They act as a source of food for other plants.C.They protect other redwood trees by absorbing poison.D.They are responsible for the reproduction of the redwood species.15.What’s the best title of the text?A.Albino Redwoods May be the Result of PollutionB.Albino Redwoods May Survive to Help Nearby TreesC.Symbiotic Relationship is Built among Albino RedwoodsD.Researchers Discovered Complex Root System of Albino RedwoodsMischief Night, also known by various names like Devil’s Night and Cabbage Night, is a tradition that has changed over time in the United States and Canada. Historically, Halloween pranks(恶作剧)were performed on October 31st. 16 However, by the 1920s and 1930s, these pranks changed into more serious acts of destruction, possibly due to the social tensions of the Great Depression.In an effort to deal with this destructive behavior, parents and community leaders encouraged the tradition of trick-or-treat. 17 This shift effectively moved the mischief from October 31st to October30th.The custom of Mischief Night is particularly popular in areas with a history of Irish and Scottish immigration, such as the northeastern United States and English-speaking communities inCanada. 18According to a Cambridge Online Survey of World Englishes, 74% of Americans surveyed do not have a specific name for this night. 19 East Michigan referred to it as Devil’s Night, parts of New Jersey and New York as Mischief Night, and Washington State as Devil’s Eye. A similar study conducted by Harvard University a decade ago revealed other names like Gate Night, which involved opening farmers’ gates to let livestock roam free.20 The term Cabbage Night, for instance, originates from an old Scottish tradition where young women would use cabbages in fortune- telling rituals on All Hallows’ Eve, leading to a tradition of throwing cabbages at neighbors’ homes. Despite the decline in the use of specific names, Mischief Night continues to be a part of local traditions.A.Yet, regional names do exist.B.They offered candy to children in costumes as an alternative.C.The origins of these names have long been a topic of discussion.D.They involved light - hearted tricks such as throwing eggs at houses.E.Children had great fun but parents were concerned about the serious destruction.F.The data suggest that the specific names for this night are gradually fading away. G.However, it is less common in the South, West, and French-speaking regions of Canada.二、完形填空My friend Julie and I had completed an incredibly complicated set of instructions which led us to our comfortable room in Tokyo.

What are some of the challenges of your role?One particular challenge is having to accept the frustrating reality (24) _________ although the gallery is there to connect people with pictures, it sadly doesn't have the capacity or resources to reach everyone all the time. (25)_________ is simply finding the time, amidst a busy workload of daily museum tasks and an intensive shorter-term exhibition schedule, to undertake longer-term research projects, involving thorough investigation of the pictures themselves, secondary research (26) _________ (conduct) in libraries, and conversations with peers worldwide. Have you personally had any unusual experiences during your work for the National Gallery?I have had plenty of memorable and exciting experiences, (27) _________ _________ ascending scaffolding (脚手架) to see Bridget Riley's Messengers in progress or looking at technical images to detect fascinating under drawing lying beneath the visible painted surface of a painting. A particularly happy moment for me (28) _________ (occur) when an album of 200 drawings came to light, the work by Elizabeth, Lady Eastlake (1809-1893) , wife of the gallery's first director. They included her sketches of places she visited abroad with her husband, as well as her pencil copies of paintings they inspected during his search to find qualified masterpieces for the national collection.I (29) _________ (imagine) that Lady Eastlake's sketches were lost or destroyed, so it was an extraordinary moment when I realised they were staring me in the face-and were so well preserved! The generous owner soon donated the precious album to the National Gallery so that her drawings (30) _________ be reunited with her husband's working notebooks and accessible for others to enjoy.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. analyzedB. boundaryC. compoundD. detectE. orbitF. potentialG. primitive H. stretching I. subsequently J. tubular K. unquestionablyVisitors are hereIn 2017, when astronomers discovered the asteroid (小行星) 11/2017 U1, it soon dawned on them that they had a strange object on their hands. The calculated 31 showed this long and thin rock to be simply passing through the solar system, and therefore its origin not of this world, as they like to say in the movies. The object was 32 named 'Oumuamua (from the Hawaiian word for “a person sent ahead to get information about the enemy's position, strength, etc.”) , raising memories of an old Star Trek episode, “For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky,” in which a long, 33 asteroid proved to be an alien ship in disguise (伪装) .There's nothing surprising about interstellar objects passing through our neighborhood. Or there shouldn't be, at least. There's no magical barrier at the 34 of our solar system. Although we see a sky full of stars a and inor telescopes 35 hundreds of clusters a and nebulae (星云) , most of the space in a galaxy's disk is practically empty, save for the thin interstellar medium.This month, science journalist David Chandler delivers a fascinating look at the 36 for spacecraft missions to interstellar intruders. Catching up to Oumuamua now would be virtually impossible. This thin, cigar-shaped rock, 37 about 1, 300 feet long, is rushing along at about 16 miles per second and is already as far away as the average distance to Pluto.But there's no doubt that other visitors from other stars will come by again. This has 38 happened countless times in the 4. 6-billion-year history of our star and its planets- and now, astrophysics is in an advanced state. Every day we learn about 39 conditions long ago in the solar system by studying pieces of rock or metal from space that have landed on Earth and other objects. With the chemistry of materials from the origin days of other stars 40 , who knows what could be found from such priceless relics.That's another comforting thought to keep in mind as you read David's story and then gaze up into a dark sky full of wonder.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B. C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Should period dramas reflect modern sensibilities?Simon Jenkins The most popular films of my youth were war films. They were about how Britain won a war—and that could be any war you cared to mention. In my opinion, they were great fun and, mostly, patriotic 41 .I'm a journalist and occasional historian, and something the two professions share is a respect for the 42of truth. Both are in the business of bringing events to life through the power of fact, not falsification. They may sometimes be 43 of distortion (歪曲) and thoughtless analysis, but to be plain wrong is unethical and unprofessional. The gap between fact and fiction is one that should not be crossed—or if crossed, should stand corrected.Many playwrights, filmmakers and novelists 44 . To them, history is a stimulus to artistic licence, material to be exploited and 45 for dramatic effect. Their considerations are audience appeal, profit and, often, politics. They leave it to historians to worry about 46 . This, to me, is lying.I have always found ‘ 47 ’ (in which facts are the basis for fiction) hard to stomach. I can appreciate‘docudrama’, which dramatises the events, or the novels of Hilary Mantel, as attempts to deepen our understanding of the past. Mantel insisted that her goal was always to be as 48 as the facts allowed. She did not 49 create false events. The same was not true of The Crown and its much-documented faking of stories. The fact the team behind the show took such pains to cast actors that 50 their real-life counterparts simply added a touch of reality to the made-up story. The result was an audience 51 of what was true or false.I appreciate that history—as with 52 —involves selection, and that selection itself can be motivated by a desire to twist the truth. Each age puts pressure on historians to select material in a manner that respects the 53 or bias (偏向) of nations, groups or individuals. The duty of the historian is to see behind such bias. The task is toreveal what happened, why and how.In an age of artificial intelligence and online ‘deep fakery’, the truth has never been more 54 . The world of fiction has no need to be a parasite (寄生虫) on history: it has all of human imagination to supply it with plots. Every work that claims to be ‘based on real events’ should, in my view, be identified as lies, and should display a large ‘T’ or ‘NT’ —true or not true. Artistic licence should not be a (n) 55 to deceive.41. A. honour B. instinct C. rubbish D. masterpiece42. A. victory B sacredness C. suspicion D. degree43. A. proud B typical C. desperate D. guilty44. A. disagree B. persist C. hesitate D. echo45. A. recorded B. publicized C. abused D. corrected46. A. plot B. artistry C. edition D. truth47. A faction B. profile C nonfiction D. social-drama48. A. awesome B. imaginative C. accurate D. comprehensive49. A. necessarily B deliberately C. merely D. duly50. A. adored B. falsified C. documented D. resembled51. A. conscious B ignorant C. clear D. insightful52. A. journalism B. literature C. politics D. patriotism53. A. literacy B. reason C. justice D. sensitivity54. A. immoral B. precious C. sufficient D. revolutionary55. A. instance B. tendency C. licence D submissionSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)“Who says it's Father's Day?” my son says to me, with the questioning angry look of someone who's been told they have extra tax to pay. “Well, the world does,” I tell him, suddenly self-conscious. “It's a special day for daddies.”Something about this—I can't think what—comes out sounding quite desperate and he looks at me as if I've just suggested he prove his love for me with a face tattoo (文身) . It's a look of suspicion, but also of tender concern for my mental state.This is his fifth Father's Day, so I can't help feeling slightly wounded that the concept hasn't stuck with him. I also can't help noting that he has never had any such issue with Mother's Day, which has always seemed to him like common sense.The event's nearness to his own birthday two weeks from now—is making things more difficult for him to tolerate. It would seem he finds it impolite that the run-up to his special day should be interrupted so close to the finish line by a day that celebrates me, the lesser of his two parents. In any case, if he's planning to make or gift me something, this conversation has been a masterstroke of expectation management“So, will all daddies get a Father's Day?” he asks. “Yes,” I reply, “and this isn't new-it's every year!” I attempt to regulate my voice/offence, but also make it very clear I haven't made this idea up on the spot by myself. “You've been doing it since you were born. And it's been around longer than that. I get things for Grandad every year, too.”At this he stirs himself up. He has never quite stopped being fascinated by the idea that his grandad is my dad, in the same way that I am his. I suppose it's the same thrill I feel when I see pictures of massive cranes (起重机) being built by other, even bigger cranes.“What do you get him?” he asks. “Well,” I say, “things like CDs or socks-and always a card.” At this he seems inspired. “I'll do a card!” he says, brightening.“You could buy me something, too. . .” I begin, but he is no longer listening, running to grab coloured paper and glittery pens. Not wishing to see this tribute to myself a whole week early, I smile and tell him I really shouldn't be watching and get up to leave him to it.“Yes,” he says, just in time for me to see he's actually writing “Dear Grandad” on the page. “Don't tell him!”56. How does the writer feel when explaining Father's Day?A. Suspicious.B. Embarrassed.C. Proud.D. Ridiculous.57. It can be inferred from the son's response that ________.A. the son feels hurt because the concept escapes himB. the writer looks relieved due to his son's tender heartC. a face tattoo is the way to prove a son's love for his fatherD. the son identifies with Mother's Day more than Father's Day58. The writer mentions Grandad in order to ________.A. justify the annual celebration of Father's DayB. practise skills of expectation managementC. narrow the gap between the three generationsD. link Father's Day to his son's birthday59. Which of the following best summarises the passage?A. When celebrating Father's Day, you should also send a DIY card to your grandpa.B. It is a universally acknowledged fact that Father's Day is a special day for daddies.C. Father's Day is a special time to celebrate Dad, but for my son that's a bit of a stretch.D. My son and father have agreed to keep the Father's Day greetings card secret from me.(B)611907Elizabeth Maconchy is born on 19 March in Broxbourne,Hertfordshire.

Sir Henry Wood composed an orchestral suite The Land.(C)A theme at this year's World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Switzerland was the perceived need to “speed up breakthroughs in research and technology.” Some of this framing was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world's problems, scientific research needs to move faster. The WEF mindset is similar to the Silicon Valley dictate—to move fast and break things. But what if the thing being broken is science? Or public trust?The WEF meeting took place just two weeks after Harvard University President Claudine Gay stepped down after complaints were made about her political science scholarship. In response, Gay requested corrections to several of her papers. Although it may be impossible to determine just how widespread such problems really are,it's hard to imagine that the scene of high-profile scholars correcting and retracting papers has not had a negative impact on public trust in science and perhaps in experts broadly.In recent years we've seen important papers, written by outstanding scientists and published in celebrated journals, retracted because of questionable data or methods, hence a question: Are scholars at supercompetitive places such as Harvard and Stanford rushing to publish rather than taking the time to do their work right?It's impossible to answer this question scientifically because there's no scientific definition of what constitutes "rushing. "But there's little doubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under tremendous pressure to produce results—and a lot of them—quickly.The problem is not unique to the U. S. In Europe, formal research assessments—which are used to allocate (分配) future funding—have for years judged academic departments largely on the quantity of their output. A recent reform urging an emphasis on quality over quantity allowed that the existing system had created “counterincentives. ”Good science takes time. More than 50 years elapsed between the 1543 publication of Copernicus's On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept geophysicist Alfred Wegener's idea of continental drift.There's plenty of circumstantial evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. Consider the sheer volume of academic papers being published these days. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Some of this growth is driven by more scientists and more co-authorship of papers, but the numbers also suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality.

Which of the following is best title of the passage?A. WEF Coincides with Silicon ValleyB. Collapse of Public TrustC. Dilemma between Quantity and QualityD. Trouble in the Fast LaneSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Brentford FC has taken a different approach.B. Statistics have helped the team win on the pitch, too.C. He applied his talent to identifying the underlying strength of football teams.D. Analytics underlay and supported a remarkably profitable buy-low-sell-high transfer strategy.E. They were told to focus not on how many goals a team was scoring, which was subject to too much randomness.F. Like “Moneyball” , a hit book about the use of statistics in baseball, “Smart Money” is both informative and entertaining.Football and dataA numbers gameAt most football clubs, the equation is simple: you put in vast amounts of money, and you get out star players and win victories. Take Manchester City, the Premier League's reigning champions. Before its takeover in 2008 by a Middle East plutocrats (财阀) , the club often struggled in the bottom half of the table; it has won English football's championship seven times since 2011.67. _________ The club was promoted into the Premier League in 2021 after striving for decades in the lower reaches of football. What makes its success surprising is not how much money its owner, Matthew Benham, has put into the team, but how little. In a new book “Smart Money”. Alex Duff, a lifelong Brentford fan, explains how a money-saving plan made profits.Mr Benham studied physics at Oxford University and then went to work in banking. In his early 30s, sensing correctly that bookmakers (赌注登记人) were inaccurate when setting odds for football matches, Mr Benham leftbanking to become a full-time gambler.He set up his own company, Smartodds, and competed with financial institutions to hire the best mathematicians. 68. _________ Instead, their focus should be the "goal-scoring opportunities it was creating. In time, he reckoned, the goals would comeThe approach was so efficient that when Brentford, going through one of its periodic financial crises, put out a general appeal for help in 2005, Mr Benham offered his services. Within a decade he owned the club and was applying his ideas to how the team was constructed. 69. _________There were plenty of doubters within football about Brentford's philosophy. But in time it worked. In their first season in the Premier League, Mr Benham's investment of around f100m in the club—a tiny sum compared with competitors—realised its first profit of £25m.70. _________ Mr Benham identifed ser pieces (定位球) as an important part of creating scoring opportunities, and hired Gianni Vio, an Italian coach with 4, 000 such plays in his career. Players are instructed to press the opposition and tackle players within ten seconds of them receiving the ball. Though Brentford is not competing for the title, in recent years the team has beaten several of football's plutocrats—including Manchester City. What were the odds?IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Build better boundariesDoing a good deed like helping your friend with their homework or sharing a snack can make you feel happy. Studies show that kindness is good for your wellbeing. However, if you often agree to things you don't want to do, or feel guilty saying no, you could be falling into a people-pleasing trap. It's not always easy to tell when this happens but one clue is that it's difficult to stop. Pleasing other people may feel good for a short while but the feeling doesn't last. This is why it's a good idea to set limits on what you'll do for others. These are called “boundaries”.Spending too much energy on someone else can stop you doing things you want or need to do. Research has found that trying to please others can leave us feeling stressed and uncomfortable. We can also feel angry and frustrated with ourselves and our friends. “There's nothing wrong with being kind to other people,” says Dr Toru Sato, an author and expert in thoughts and feelings, but we need to be sure we're doing it out of kindness, not because we're worried about what other people think.Taking on so much that you end up letting others down doesn't make you a better friend. The youth mental health charity YoungMinds says boundaries include taking time alone when you need it and being able to explain your needs. If saying no feels hard, practise with small things, like if someone offers a straw in a restaurant. This can help you feel more confident. Thinking about how to say no also helps, YoungMinds says, and allows you to communicate what you want clearly and calmly. Remember, you don't need an excuse to say no; you don't owe anyone an explanation. The good people in your life will respect this boundary.71. _________________________________________________________________________________________ V. Translation。

黑龙江省实验中学2024-2025学年高三上学期9月月考英语学科试题一、阅读理解Do you want to buy books? Here are some choices.1.Who is If You Give a Mouse a Cookie fit for?A.Young award winners.B.Beginning kid readers.C.Kids wanting to be stars.D.Kids loving eating cookies.2.What does The Wonderful Things You Will Be mainly describe?A.Emily’s experience of becoming brave.B.Adults’ different reading habits.C.Young and old kids’ interests.D.Parents’ love for their children.3.What can Baby Touch and Feel: Animals do?A.Teach kids to draw animals.B.Improve the parent-child relationship.C.Help kids identify animals.D.Encourage kids to be brave and creative.When I met a friend recently, I asked him how his work was. “Oh, just coasting (很轻松).” he said. He’s not alone. According to a recent survey, one third of the 3,000 people surveyed said they were “coasting” at work, which means they were making progress at work without much effort. This may come as a surprise in an age when so many people spend so much time complaining about how busy they are. But most of this talk about busyness is meaningless.According to a study by researchers at Oxford University, we do not, in fact, spend more time working than we did in the past. To some degree, the amount of work we do has gone down. However, many people just have jobs filled with tasks that don’t really need to be done.The way we look at coasting has completely changed. In the past, being relaxed or not being burdened with too much work was a sign of status. Now, being extremely busy shows you are important. If you are not crazily overburdened, then you are seen as a slacker. This does not make sense. Most people are not as busy as they say they are. In fact, most pressing tasks at work are often unrelated to productivity. Many busy people are actually overburdened with telling others how busy they are.Being buried in your job may make you feel important, but it’s likely to keep friends, co-workers and your family away. What’s more, being super-busy all the time is not good for you.Another study found that people who are overburdened with work tend to have a worse sense of well-being than those who are more relaxed. Being super-busy is also bad for your career. Those who reported working very hard were associated with poorer career outcomes.So, perhaps coasters are not a drag on productivity. Maybe they have worked out that the secret to a productive and healthy life is not being too busy, and certainly not going on about how busy you are.4.Why does the author mention the conversation with his friend in Paragraph l?A.To show their close relationship.B.To clarify the meaning of coasting.C.To introduce his topic.D.To begin the article in an interesting way. 5.What does the underlined word “slacker” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.A lazy person.B.An easy-going person.C.A helpful person.D.A very important person.6.In the author’s opinion, being super-busy with work ______.A.is related to one’s productivity B.may help one find the purpose of lifeC.is harmful to one’s career development D.may bring a better material life to one’s family7.What is the author’s attitude towards coasters?A.Negative.B.Positive.C.Indifferent.D.Ambiguous.Firms are increasingly investing their marketing dollars in social media — market research firms predict the spending will have reached $37 billion by the end of 2025.However, increasing traffic and advertising income through strategic content scheduling is no easy task. A social media manager charged with posting 10 stories in one day with a budget to promote four of them can position the posts in more than 7 trillion ways. Most choose a “spray and pray” approach, by which they simply guess when a post will get the most attention.New research from the University of Notre Dame shows digital content platforms can increase traffic to their websites from social media simply by matching their posting schedules with target audiences’ sleep-wake cycles.“More specifically”, says Vamsi Kanuri, assistant professor of marketing, “consumers engage (参与) more with posts containing high-arousal negative information, including anger,stress, anxiety or fear, in the morning than in the afternoon or evening. They engage more with ‘boosted’ (paid to advertise) posts and those requiring higher cognitive (认知的) processing, such as scientific material in the afternoon.”Simply adjusting posting schedules in accordance with target audiences’ sleep-wake cycles can increase engagement significantly, allowing firms to avoid spending more money on their special social media pages.“There is an optimum point beyond which spending more money on boosting will only result in a small increase in total profits. Also, posting content too frequently or infrequently can hurt engagement rates. The best inter-post duration in our database t seems to be between 30 and 90 minutes. The team interviewed social media managers from several major content platforms to learn how they made posting decisions and examined a year’s worth of Facebook posting and boosting data (5,700 posts) from a major newspaper. They found managers relied on gut feelings (直觉) in making posting decisions but paid zero attention to what emotional posts might draw out from readers. Firms shouldn’t rely on the general rules-of-thumb posted on various blogs all over the Internet. Instead, they should make profit- maximizing content scheduling decisions by using precise science tools.8.Which of the following best explains the underlined part “spray and pray” in Paragraph 2?A.Funds are contributed to many companies to get maximum profit.B.Advertisements are aimlessly spread to attract targeted people.C.Posts are carefully arranged to interest special groups of people.D.Brochures are handed out to increase the effect of advertising.9.Which of the following may Vamsi Kanuri agree with?A.People tend to get angry or anxious in the morning.B.Digital platforms are relatively cheap for post-sharing.C.Continuous posts are more likely to increase people’s engagement.D.Consumers’ engagement with the content of posts varies across the day.10.Matching posting time with people’s sleeping habits will ______.A.help people reduce their working timeB.make people manage their reading timeC.enable firms to predict people’s reading preferenceD.help firms reduce their marketing budgets11.What does the author mainly want to convey in the last paragraph?A.Digital platforms can provide better posting decisions.B.People focus more on posts from major newspapers.C.More attention should be paid to emotional posts.D.Firms should seek the most profitable content scheduling decisions scientifically.Years of exposure to Americans has, at last, convinced me of something about their food culture. I now think they’re correct in one of life’s great dilemmas: when eating at a restaurant, it is really fine to politely send your food back if it is not what you ordered, or covered in cheese when you asked for no cheese, etc.Of course, the idea makes me feel anxious; the British fear of making a scene is planted in my soul. But what persuaded me, in the end, was realizing how self-centered that fear actually is. Are you really such a big deal that your no-cheese request will embarrass your fellow diners, ruin the waiter's day, and send waves of shock through the kitchen? Face it: you're not. Instead, you're in the situation of what might be termed “egocentric reticence (以自我为中心的沉默).”Egocentric reticence raised its head again the other day in a study about gratitude, which found that people underestimate how much delight a thank-you note can bring. The psychologists Amit Kumar and Nicholas Epley had people send grateful messages to someone who'd made a difference to their lives. Again and again, they found, senders assumed their words would lead to less happiness and more awkwardness than they really did, and that recipients would judge their letter-writing competence cruelly, too. Even in the seemingly selfless context of expressing gratitude, senders couldn’t help giving too much weight to their own perspective. So if you stop yourself from sending someone a thank-you note because you're worried you'll make them feel awkward or annoyed, you are letting egocentrism prevent an action that would have made both of you happier.The most acute form of egocentric reticence, surely, is extreme shyness. “Shyness is just egotism out of its depth,” famous actress Penelope Keith once told an interviewer. The quote was later regarded as a line the writer Sadie Stein credits with curing her own shyness. “For some reason, the clear cruelty of that quote was what I needed, ” Stein wrote. “OK, I thought... No oneis looking at you.”12.Before contacting Americans, the author thought sending restaurant food back was ________.A.certainly a customer's rightB.fine to do just in some culturesC.acceptable but not worthy sometimesD.embarrassing and would cause trouble13.If someone is in a situation of egocentric reticence, he might ________.A.hesitate to do something due to self-centered reasonsB.keep sending waves of shock to othersC.be ignorant of other people's feelingsD.do something extremely embarrassing14.What did the study about gratitude find?A.People may regard sending grateful messages unimportant.B.It's common for Americans to send a thank-you letter.C.It's important to thank others after being helped.D.People often take a thank-you note for granted.15.What does Sadie Stein's story tell us?A.We sometimes need shyness to behave well.B.We should pay no attention to other people's thoughts.C.We can overcome our shyness by removing our egotism.D.We should avoid being exposed to other people's focus.Online grocery shopping is a way of buying food and other household necessities using a web-based shopping service. There are two basic methods that people can use to purchase these items online. 16 The other way is to order groceries from a large company that will ship the items to one’s home.Ordering groceries online became popular in the 1990s in the United States during what has been called the dot-com boom (网络繁荣). The popularity was short-lived. Several online shopping companies soon faced bankruptcy. Over the next few years, others survived economic hardship and remained strong in the market. And today there are many online grocery retailers.17Grocery shoppers have local, national, and international options available to them. Some companies provide delivery service throughout the country. 18 For those searching for unique, organic, or international products, there are stores that sell those products online, as well.19 If a customer has a specific list of items to buy, he or she may be less likely to make impulse (冲动) purchases. In addition, shoppers can usually use online and some manufacturers coupons (优惠券) with their orders for more savings when ordering online from the local grocery store.Every coin has two sides and online grocery shopping is no exception. 20 In addition, some merchants have a limited selection and customers may not receive the exact things they order. Many of the large r companies do not offer fresh produce or refrigerated products. A.Sometimes, the service and delivery fees may not be worth the convenience of shopping online. B.By comparison, others have limited service areas.C.Online grocery shopping can have several advantages.D.A customer can also choose to pick up the items at the store.E.Orders from a large online company are usually not packed at a grocery store.F.One is to order them from a local grocery store that participates in online shopping. G.Many market experts predict online grocery shopping will continue to grow in popularity.二、完形填空A few years back, I planned to build a networked digital library where theses (论文) from African universities could be stored. I wanted to find a way to make these 21 visible to the whole world. It took me years to 22 build it to my taste. But finally, it went nowhere.The other day, I was in a rest area.

When I was 17,I read a quote that 21 like,“If you live each day 22 it was your last,someday you'll most certainly be right.” Since then,for the past thirty-three years,I've looked 23 the mirror every morning and asked myself:“If today were the last day of my life,would I want to do what I am about to do today?”And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a 24 ,I know I need to change something.About a year ago I was 25 with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable,and that I should 26 to live no longer than three to six months. They advised me to go home and get my 27 in order,which is doctors' code for “prepare to 28 ”. Later that evening when the doctors29 the cells taken from my pancreas(胰腺)under a microscope,they started cryingbecause it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is 30 with surgery. I had the surgery and,31 ,I'm fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death,and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Death is the 32 we all share. No one has 33 escaped it.And that is 34 it should be,because death is very likely the single 35 invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make 36 for the new.

The only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating- a dozen long-stemmed red roses.As I was cleaning my office, our receptionist came and said there was a lady in the front office that urgently needed to speak with me. As I stepped out, I noticed a young, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms. Nervously, she explained that her husband-a prisoner in a nearby prison-was my next patient. The guards were scheduled to bring him to the office that afternoon. She told me she wasn’t allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son. Her request was for me to let the boy’s father sit in the waiti ng room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment. Since my schedule wasn’t full, I agreed. After all, it was Christmas Eve.A short time later, her husband arrived-with chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards as bodyg uards. The woman’s tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her. I kept glancing out to watch them laugh, cry and share their child. After almost an hour, I called the prisoner back to my office. While I worked, the guards stood just outside my door. The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man. I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions. I tried to make him as comfortable as possible.At the end of the appointment, I wished him a Merry Christmas-a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison. He smiled and thanked me. He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadn’t been able to get his wife anything for Christmas. On hearing this, I was inspired with a wonderful idea.I’ll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful, long-stemmed roses. I’m not sure who experienced the most joy-the husband in giving, the wife in receiving, or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment.41.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A.The writer was a newcomer to her office.B.A fellow sent her a dozen red roses as Christmas present.C.She was in low spirits because she had to work before Christmas.D.She was at work with a light heart.42.The young woman came to the writer’s office for the purpose of.A.having her baby examinedB.giving her husband a chance to make his escapeC.having her husband examinedD.getting a chance for her family to get together43.The underlined part in paragraph 3 most probably means “”.A.to be sent to hospital B.to be separated from his familyC.to be comfortable D.to become a prisoner44.What does the writer learn from the story?A.The wife experienced the most joy in receiving.B.An act of kindness can mean a lot.C.The prisoner was treated with mercy.D.Whoever breaks the law shall be punished.BNext time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation(感觉)of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions—those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.Psychologists have known that one person’s perception(感知)of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary conside ration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psycholog ists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses(假设), handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Thosewho had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh.45. According to Paragraph 1, a person’s emotion may be affected by ________.A. the visitors to his officeB. the psychology lessons he hasC. his physical feeling of coldnessD. the things he has bought online46. The author mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that ________.A. adults should develop social skillsB. babies need warm physical contactC. caregivers should be healthy adultsD. monkeys have social relationships47. In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to ________.A. evaluate someone’s personalityB. write down their hypothesesC. fill out a personal information formD. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively48. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiencesB. feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwideC. physical temperature affects how we see othersD. capable persons are often cold to othersCDo you want to visit Warwick Castle in Britain?

If you want to book the Ultimate Family Ticket online, you should pay ___ . A.£55.00 B.£48.50 C.£47.00 D.£37.6052. The text probably is taken from .A. a newspaperB. a magazineC. a geography bookD. a websiteDThe traditional distinction between products that satisfy needs and those satisfy wants is no longer adequate to describe classes of products. In today’s prosperous societies, the distinction has become unclear because so many wants have been turned into needs. A writer, for instance, can work with paper and pencils. These are legal needs for the task. But the work can be done more quickly and efficiently with a word processor. Thus a computer is soon viewed as a need rather than a want.In the field of marketing, consumer goods are classed according to the way in which they are purchased. The two main classes are convenience goods and shopping goods. Two lesser types are specialty goods and unsought(主动提供的) goods. It must be emphasized that all of these types are based on the way shoppers think about products, not on the nature of the products themselves. What is regarded as a convenience item in France (wine, for example) should be a specialty goods in the United States.People do not spend a great deal of time shopping for such convenience items as groceries, newspapers, toothpaste, aspirin, and candy. The buying of convenience goods may be done routinely, as some families buy groceries once a week. Such regularly purchased items are called staples. Sometimes convenience products are bought without enough thinking; someone has a sudden desire for an ice cream sundae(圣代) on a hot day. Or they may be purchased as emergency items.Shopping goods are items for which customers search. They compare prices, quality, and styles, and may visit a number of stores before making a decision. Buying an automobile is often done this way.Shopping goods fall into two classes; those that are recognized as basically the same and those that are regarded as different. Items that are looked upon as basically the same include such things as home appliances, television sets, and automobiles. Having decided on the model desired, the customer is primarily interested in gettingthe item at the most favorable price. Items regarded as essentially different include clothing, furniture, and dishes. Quality, style and fashion will either take precedence(优先) over price, or they will not matter at all.53. It can be learned from the first paragraph that ______.A. a writer needs a word processorB. needs an d wants can’t be separated clearlyC. the way to distinguish the products is unimportantD. a computer is a need rather than a want54. The example of wine is used to show that ______.A. goods are classified differently in different countriesB. the types of the product lie on the people rather than its natureC. Frenchmen often drink but Americans sometimes doD. one product may belong to many types55. Staples are items that ______.A. are convenient to purchaseB. are purchased without enough thinkingC. people “want but don’t need”D. people are in constant need of56. Shopping goods that are considered as basically the same are those that ______.A. consumers don’t care where to buy themB. consumers spend much time searching forC. satisfy similar needs of the consumerD. can be found in nearly every shopE“ONLY A COKE WILL DO”“We don’t necessarily believe that new advertising, which might make consumers feel better about the Coke brand or better about the ads themselves , will actually result in consumers consuming more of the product,” Morgan Stanley’s Bill Pecoriello wrote in a research note the days after the investor (投资者) meeting . But Coke is optimistic it can regain its old magic, and is banking on a new slogan: “Welcome to the Coke side of life.”BREAK THROUGH HIT?With PepsiCo about to surpass(超越)Coke as the beverage king on Wall Street —Pepsi’s market capitalization has soared in recent years to $97.9 billion, putting it less than a billion dollars behind its rival —the heat is on Coke . It’s set to launch a new marketing campaign in March, . And having taken a quick look at Coke’s investor presentation on Dec. 7 in New York, my sense is that Coke may be moving in the right direction .Given the continued shift by consumers away from soda—Coke’s stronghold —and into alternative beverages like juice, tea, and water, Coke badly needs a breakthrough hit. And given that shift away from soda, some analyists wonder whether even the catchiest new ads will be enough to put the fizz back into Coke. SAME OLD, UPDATED?The new flavors of PowerAde sports drink will probably enable Coke to continue stealing market share from PepsiCo’s Gatorade brand. And Coke is getting a little more creative with packaging, including new, aluminum bottles of Coke that will besold in nightclubs, and an 8.4-ounce “100 calorie” version of its flagship Coke that will appeal to women who want fewer calories and will like the fact that the small can will fit in their purse. I doubt whether other new products will be successful, includinga new coffee-flavored soda called Coke-Cola Black that I tried. Think carbonatedcoffee. But I’m not sure if the product, which Coke is pitching as an afternoon pick-me-up for the 35-and-over set, is going to pull people away from their afternoon Frappucino fix. And my opinion is that Vault, an orange-flavored energy drink, will have just as much trouble unseating Mountain Dew among teens as did Coke’s last attempt, a product called Surge.If there is one concern I have about the fresh offerings Coke plans to launch this year, it appears that many of them are simply new brands, not new products.57. According to the passage, we can know that .A. Coke mainly depends on new products recentlyB. Nowadays Coke is comparatively less popularC. PepsiCo has taken the place of CokeD. Coke has few new brands58. The underlined word “soared” means .A. achievedB. droppedC. increasedD. failed59. When the middle-aged people feel tired, what would they prefer to drink in orderto continue their work?A. Vault.B. Surge.C. Coke-Cola Blake.D. Frappucino.60. What is the best title of the passage ?A. Troubles in Coke CompanyB. The Importance of New AdvertisementsC. Varieties of New ProductsD. The Relationship between Coke and Pepsi 第二节补全对话。

AHave you ever been to the world’s smallest bookstore?The World’s Smallest Bookstore, whose officia l name is just these three words, sits quietly about 100 miles northeast of Toronto.The bookstore is about 10 feet by 10 feet,so it is easy to imagine how tiny it really is. The bookstore is open 24 hours a day. Inside the bookstore are various books, esp ecially literary books and classic authors’ works. So if you are looking for something less popular, you may get a bit disappointed there.Another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars. All the expenses are paid on the honor system, which means buyers should make a note of what they’ve bought and leave their money by themselves. So the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple: pens, papers, light bulbs and a label-maker.In order to catch passers-by’s atte ntion, the billboards (广告牌) of thebookstore are several times bigger than the store itself. With these largeeye-catchers, many people are willing to stop by and have a visit.1. What’s the passage mainly about?A. The popular books nowadays.B. A strange way of selling books.C. The world’s smallest bookstoreD. The popular bookstores in the world.2. Which of the following books might you most probably get in the store?A. Books on popular science.B.

AWe live in central Phoenix,near the canal. Every day I used to see a homeless old man and his scruffy little dog hanging out down there.I would tell my husband we should give him food for the little dog. It wouldn’t have been a problem;we have our own“mini farm”of animals! But he would say“OK!”and then blow the idea off because of our business.Being in Phoenix, Arizona, you can just imagine how hot it gets here, but his winter was really chilly! I had just come from KFC with takeout food for dinner, As l was turning by the canal, the man and his dog were sitting right there all bundled up. (穿着暖和的衣服)Even the doggy had a coat on! Not even thinking about it,I pulled into the parking lot along the canal and piled up a plate of chicken with all the fixings for the man and his little buddy, I gave it to him with a soda and a bottle of water for the little dog.He said,“Thank you, sweetie. You are an angel.”And there were tears welling up in his eyes! I told him he was so welcome, and then went home.When my husband dug into the KFC bag he asked,“Were you hungry, or what?”I told him what I did and he said,“Only you!”Then he told me I had done a good thing.A few weeks later, we were walking along the canal and found the man walking to me,with his little dog. He asked whether I would mind adopting the dog. With tears in eyes, he said it had gotten too hard for him to care for the dog. He added that he was planning on heading to Washington State but his dog wouldn’t have been up to it, so he hoped to give it to me.“Only you! In this city,you are the only person I can believe in!” Now, every time I watch and pat the puppy lying near the fireplace.I will recall the old man’s words and wish him good luck.1.The author and her husband didn’t help the old man at the beginning because .A.they had a farm of animals to feedB.they didn’t have food even for themselvesC.they worked busily and often forgot itD.they were unwilling to help a man with a dog2.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?A.She gave the old man some food on a cold day.B.She met the old man after finishing her dinner.C.She offered the old man nothing but chicken.D.She burst into tears after helping the old man.3.What did the author's husband feel when she told him what she had done? A.Grateful. B.Delighted. C.Indifferent. D.Disappointed.4.What can we infer from the ending of the passage?A.The author refused the old man’s request.B.The author misses the old man and his dog.C. The author feels the old man was very lucky.D.The author adopted the old man’s dog.BI’m not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to like them —to be honest. We’d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange emails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came FaceBook, and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via FaceBook. No longer hidden, they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials—unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you’d find him warm, and self-effacing(谦逊的). Read his FaceB ook and you’ll realize he’s an unbearable,food-obsessed boring man. He’d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man—and then write about it.Take Andy. You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to run. So he plays Mafia Wars on FaceBook. He’s doing well—level 731. Thanks to FaceBook, I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you’ve run four companies—and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?Take Liz.She is positive that the flu vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find,so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on FaceBook and once on Twitter.In real life, I don’t see these sides of people.

It can also be full of challenges,setbacks(挫折)and heartbreaks.Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams. hopes and desires--that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones.Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem,because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱)that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的) suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it’s easier to just give up. But w e’re never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us—in real us. It’s the part that believes life and its possibilities.If you drop that,you begin to feel a little “dead” inside because you’re dropping “you”.So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today’s challenges. While,deep down,we know we can do it,our mind—or the minds of those close to us usually says we can’t ,That isn’t a reason to stop,it’s just the mind,that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before.It’s all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little,or large,release from the jail of your mind and you’ll be on your way.12.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should A .slow down and live a simple life B .be careful when we choose to changeC .stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD .be content with what we already have13.What is the key to breaking the old patterns?A .To focus on every detail .B .To decide and take immediate action .C .To listen to those close to us .D .To think twice before we act .14.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?A .Escape from your punishment .B .Realization of your dreams .C .Freedom from your tension .D .Reduction of your expectations .15.What does the author intend to tell us?A .It’s easier than we think to get what we want.B .It’s important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C .It’s impractical to change our way of thinking.D .It’s harder than we expect to follow a new course. 第二节 七选五阅读(共5小题:每小题3分,满分15分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Countryside Traveling.BNearly 5 million dog bites occur in the US each year, according to the American Humane Association. Ms. Stilwell, CEO of Victoria Stilwell Positively Dog Training, offers some advice on how to read dog behavior to avoid an attack on a person or the other dog.People are usually attacked by a dog they know, "It happens when the relative has brought his dog over, or it happens at a friend's house," says Ms. Stilwell, "We just let our guard down here."“Obvious signs include barkin g, growling, if the dog's ears are flat or suddenly prick up. Some dogs salivate(流口水) when they are stressed, others cower(畏缩),” says Ms. Stilwell. "Dogs will wag(摇) their tails when they are upset or over-aroused." Similarly, if an unfamiliar dog rolls on its back to expose its belly(腹部), it doesn't necessarily want to be petted. It might be asking you to move away.A dog that attacks is often acting out of fear, says Ms. Stilwell. Those signs of fear may include a dog yawning, turning its head away when someone approaches, tensing up or staring. Some dogs will slightly lift what Ms. Stilwell calls "the anticipatory paw (先行爪)," because it shows that they think something negative is about to happen. Another subtle warning sign is when a dog slightly lifts its lip to show teeth. Also, when a dog’s flat tongue is relaxed or curved at the sides, it means there is tension."If a dog is on a child and you're pulling it off, you're making the wound on the child deeper," Ms. Stilwell says. Instead, "take a coat or T-shirt and put it over the dog's head," she says. When dogs can't see, they panic and open their mouths.5. We can conclude from Paragraph 2 that we ________.A. should stay with our friends in case of dog bitesB. should watch out for dogs we are familiar withC. shouldn't be frightened of dogs we know wellD. shouldn't carry anything when staying with dogs6. According to the passage, when a dog _____________.A. wags its tail, it is showing its friendlinessB. shows its teeth, it means it is relaxedC. lifts its front paw, it wants you to leaveD. stares at you, it might feel frightened7. According to the passage, when a dog is biting a child, we should ___________.A. cover its head with somethingB. pull it off from the child at onceC. pull open the dog’s mouth quicklyD. frighten it away with a coat or T-shirt8. The purpose of the passage is mainly to ______________.A. prevent people from being attacked by a dogB. inform us of dog bites that happen in the USC. warn people of the harm that dogs do to peopleD. change the way people think about a dogCThe past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists(人类学家). Descriptions like “Paleolithic(旧石器时代) Man”, “Neolithic(新石器时代) Man”, etc., neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twenty-first century, they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”. Historiesof the time will go something like this: “In the twenty-first century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were ruined by the presence of large car parks. ”The future history books might also record that we lost the right of using our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train, the unclear picture of the countryside constantly slides over the window. When you mention the most impressive place-names in the world, the typical 21st century traveler always says “I’ve been there.”—meaning “I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you skip all experience. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.9. Anthropologists name man nowadays “Legless Man” because _________.A. people prefer cars, buses and trainsB. people travel without using legsC. lifts prevent people from walkingD. people use their legs less and less10. According to the passage, what might make people lose the right of using their eyes?A. The modern means of transportation.B. A bird’s-eye view of the world.C. The unclear sight from the vehicles.D. The fast-paced life style.11. From the passage, we know traveling at high speeds means _________.A. appreciating beautiful sceneryB. experiencing life skillsC. focusing on the next destinationD. feeling physical tiredness12. What does the author intend to tell us?A. Modern transportation devices have replaced legs.B. Traveling makes the world a small place.C. Human’s history develops very fast.D. The best way to travel is on foot.DBasketball, Past and PresentIn 1891, a teacher invented a new exercise in Springfield, Massachusetts. A particularly cold winter meant that Dr. James Naismith’s students couldn’t exercise outdoors, and he needed to find a way that would both entertain them and make sure they got enough exercise. He nailed a peach basket up at one end of the gym and began to develop the rules of what is now one of the most popular sports in the world: basketball.As colleges began to adopt the game at the turn of the 20th century, basketball undertook a number of rapid changes. Five-person teams became the norm around 1898. Metal hoops replaced peach baskets in 1906. Though it was short lived, the first basketball league was formed in 1898. Under the direction of President Roosevelt, in the 1930s college sports were reorganized to change the rules, largely to prevent injury to players. This organization became the National Co llegiate Athletic Association, or NCCA. The first professional league, later to become the National Basketball Association, or NBA, was put together in 1948.The game as we know it is still standardized very carefully. In the N BA and the NCAA, games are played for four quarters of 12 minutes each. A regulation court is 94 feet by 50 feet, though international basketball leagues sometimes use a somewhat smaller court. It has been suggested that because the athleticism of professional players has increased so much since 1891 the sport might be best served by increasing court size, though this change seems unlikely given the large amount of money that would be required to improve courts.Outside of the professional and collegiate leagues, there seems to be no end to theintroduction of new varieties of basketball from every corner of the world: water basketball, wheelchair basketball, even a new form called slamball (极限篮球). One might even say that Dr. James Naismith’s creative achievement to sport exists in each one. And the basketb all is significant for another reason: women have been playing almost since its inception: the first game of women’s basketball was played in 1891, the same year the sport was invented.13. What purpose does the first paragraph serve?A. To provide the origin of basketball.B. To stress the importance of basketball.C. To offer basic knowledge of basketball.D. To catch the reader’s attention by telling a story.14. Which of the following statements reflects the basketball inventor’s spirit?A. Basketball is now making a large profit.B. Many new, creative varieties of basketball exist.C. Americans are still very successful at basketball.D. Basketball has become an international sport now.15. The underlined word “inception” probably means _________.A. golden ageB. beginningC. boomingD. fading period第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从其后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
