When 19-year old Alice Dickinson found out her father had cancer, her 1 was a little different than you might expect. To honor her father, who she also describes as her best friend, she decided to start a book drive called For Love, 2 books for kids with cancer.“It was very much an overnight idea,” she explains. “I posted a message on an app asking my neighbors for used book donations. I was only expecting a few here and there, but the response was truly 3 and it was just the push I needed to co-exist with my sadness rather than letting it 4 me.”“It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch my dad 5 cancer and see him lose a little bit of himself each day, but the book drive allowed me to 6 a newfound sense of purpose mixed with an even greater sense ofsympathy and desire to help others. I wanted to help 7 . They’ve always held a soft spot in my heart.”Using the 8 she earns from working at her parents’ bread shop, Alice has bought many books out of her own pocket. In addition, she receives donations through her online wishlist. Alice spent a whole summer driving around town, loading boxes of books into her car. “It was such a unique experience to know people had carried these books all their lives through generations, and they wanted to 9 them to my cause.”The project has seen a huge 10 , with For Love donating over 15,000 books and being widely recognized by the media.1．A．suffering B．explanation C．response D．treatment 2．A．writing B．promoting C．reading D．collecting 3．A．appropriate B．incredible C．familiar D．immediate 4．A．excuse B．consume C．dismiss D．touch5．A．throw off B．keep from C．look into D．go through 6．A．evaluate B．develop C．regain D．provide7．A．kids B．neighbors C．friends D．parents3．A．credit B．interest C．awards D．tips9．A．gift B．lend C．submit D．mail10．A．market B．profit C．success D．demand第二节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分）阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。

Earlier work at Yale University and the University of Florida has also shown that people's mood affects the activation of gene s that fight disease.But does happiness lead to good 4 , or is it the other way around? After all, it could be that people who have strong immune systems 5 have higher levels of other mood-improving brain chemicals as well.Here is a possible evolutionary 6 . Humans evolve d as social creature s that cooperate in groups to 7 food and protect themselves from wild animals. We were happier with a(n)8network of friends and family because this improved our chances of survival. But closely socializing groups are also breeding grounds for respiratory(呼吸的) 9 such as flu and colds, so we would have needed to increase the activity of the genes that fight these diseases.For those who were10 from society, however, infectious disease was less of a problem, and genes that help recover from physical injury may have been prioritize d instead of the ones that fight disease.1.

ASome are attracted to museums by the art and the culture－but if that isn’t enough,there is always the strange!Cancún Underwater MuseumNo need to hold your breath to see this one.The Cancún Underwater Museum is,as the name suggests,underwater.More than500sculptures anchored in the ocean off Mexico are meant to illustrate the interplay of art and nature.Visitors can either admire the works through a glass-bottom boat or take a scuba diving tour.Omaka Aviation Heritage CentreWith great attention to detail,New Zealand built the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, which exhibits original aircraft from the First and Second World Wars.Some belong to film director Sir Peter Jackson,who helped create the set designs with his team.Anyone interested in the pioneers of aviation should pay a visit to the museum in Blenheim.Tenement MuseumAt New York’s Tenement Museum,visitors can gain an insight into what life was like for immigrants and the working class in the city from the1860s through to the1980s.The museum opened in1992and offers guided tours of two tenement buildings with recreated rooms,where costumed‘residents’enact the daily lives of the city’s newcomers and workers over the period－leaps and bounds from the money makers of Wall Street.Cupnoodles MuseumThe Cupnoodles Museum in Yokohama,Japan,offers a treat:exhibits can be not only admired,but eaten.Visitors can work in the museum’s noodle workshop,refining creations with their favourite ingredients.While doing so,one can also learn the history of the ramen noodle, one of Japan’s most popular foods.1.What is special about the Cancún Underwater Museum?A.The strange name.B.The number of sculptures.C.Works about art and nature.D.Ways of visiting it.2.Which museum will attract visitors interested in hands-on activities?A.Cancún Underwater Museum.B.Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre.C.Tenement Museum.D.Cupnoodles Museum.3.What do the four museums have in common?A.They are about art and history.B.They display aircraft from world wars.C.They have unusual features.D.They record immigrants’daily lives.BElon Musk is a businessman,inventor and engineer and is undoubtedly,one of the leading figures in the world of technology.Musk was born in Pretoria,South Africa in1971.At the age of12,he taught himself how to programme computers.He was accepted to university in the United States where he completed a degree in Arts.After this,he started a PhD in physics at Stanford University.However,he dropped out to pursue his interest in startups and technology.He founded an online payment site that eventually would become a global company.In 2001Musk began meeting with scientists to discuss the possibility of human habitation on Mars. Using his own fortune,Musk founded his company that designs rockets and space vehicles.It was the first privately owned company to do so.In2012,the rockets made by the company docked with the International Space Station.Musk also received contracts from NASA,thus making history by proving that the concept of commercial space exploration was both possible and affordable.Another one of Musk’s innovations is the electric car.Musk started a company and became the CEO in2008.The company is named after Nicolai Tesla,the Serbian-American inventor and physicist,who is best known for designing the AC electrical system.The cars made by Musk’s company are designed to end the dependence on fossil fuels and so reduce the negative effects of climate change and air pollution from cars.Why does Musk devote himself to such innovations?By creating opportunities to explore new planets,Musk believes that in the event of a major catastrophe on Earth,there would be the potential for the human race to continue elsewhere.On Earth,Musk’s inventions are designed to find renewable,environment-friendly solutions to meet the challenge of an ever-growing global population.4.What can we learn about Musk?A.He learnt computer programmes from his teacher at12.B.He graduated from Stanford University with a degree in physics.C.He received government support to found the space company.D.He named his company after a well-known scientist.5.According to the author,what event was historic in Musk’s career?A.Getting achievements in arts.B.Founding an online payment site.C.Receiving contracts from NASA.D.Becoming CEO of two companies.6.What is Musk’s motivation for his innovations?A.To expand human reach and protect the earth.B.To stimulate people’s curiosity about space.C.To realize his dream of becoming a leading figure.D.To make more profit and set up more companies.7.Which of the following best describes Musk?A.Gifted and humorous.B.Curious and honest.C.Generous and considerate.D.Creative and responsible.CThough they may not know it,about half a billion people depend on the ecosystems created and sustained by corals.And with climate change threatening coral’s survival,marine scientist Enric Sala had a goal that might have seemed impossible.“We wanted to get into a time machine,go back hundreds of years and actually see a coral reef like they used to be everywhere,before we started exploiting,polluting and killing them,”Sala said.The goal was made possible during an expedition Sala led in2009.The team traveled to a corner of the South Pacific Ocean,to see if the almost untouched reefs held any clues to bringing damaged reefs in other parts of the ocean back to health.“The bottom was covered by thriving coral.Vivid colors surrounded me－purples,reds, oranges,yellows and greens.It was so beautiful,”Sala said.His team presented their findings to officials in the island country of Kiribati.The government took steps to protect the waters from fishing.But between2015and2016,record8.What seemingly impossible goal does Sala have?cating the public to protect the ecosystems.B.Calling on people to actively respond to climate change.C.Going to old days when corals were in healthy condition.D.Leading an expedition to the South Pacific Ocean.9.What does the underlined word“This”in paragraph6refer to?A.The bad news.B.The second diving.C.The reef’s restoration.D.The cheerful mood.10.What can we infer about Caribbean from Sala’s words?A.There is abundant fish in its ocean.B.Algae lie thick over corals there.C.Global warming does little harm to its marine life.D.Corals come back to life thanks to government’s efforts.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Kiribati—A Country of BiodiversityB.A Scientist’s Love for DivingC.The Coral Reef Restored ItselfD.Ocean Warming Bothered GovernmentD“Practice makes perfect”is a very popular expression.However,can we take this saying literally?Many scientific studies have sought to either prove or disprove this idea.One popular theory is that if a person practises for at least10,000hours,they will reach “perfection”,or become an expert in their field.This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his2008best selling book,Outliers:The Story of Success.He mentioned the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates.Although they all seemed to have lots of natural talent,they also clearly put in over10,000hours of practice before they became successful.Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson,who argued that Gladwell misinterpreted his research.Firstly,Ericsson stated that10,000hours was an average figure.Some people needed far fewer than10,000hours,and others many more.More importantly,Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough;the type and quality of practice was also essential.He went on to explain the importance of“deliberate practice”,which is when a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole.A more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26%of reaching an expert level.Many people say that natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert.Another natural factor is physical superiority,which is especially evident in sports.IQ,personality,attitude,and starting age are decisive,too.But becoming an expert doesn’t equal instant success,which also relies on social and environmental factors.In conclusion,practice may not make perfect,but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to significant improvement.Based on Ericsson’s research,here are some tips on how to practise effectively:be motivated;make specific and realistic goals;work outside your comfort zone;be consistent and persistent;and get plenty of rest!For those wanting to become an expert in something,remember that being motivated is key－enjoy what you do and follow your passions.12.How did Gladwell support his idea?A.By listing numbers.B.By using examples.C.By interviewing famous people.D.By mentioning other researchers.13.Which of the following may Ericsson disagree with?A.Practice alone is far from enough.B.10,000hours of practice leads to success.C.Practice hours vary from person to person.D.Deliberate practice is much more effective.14.What does paragraph4mainly talk about?A.The role of practice.B.Factors in creating experts.C.The importance of natural talent.D.Warnings for experts.15.What is the author’s attitude to the idea“Practice makes perfect”?A.Favorable.B.Intolerant.C.Doubtful.D.Objective.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2024届高三英语期末模拟试题3第一部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)AReading has been in decline for years.One of the reasons for the decline in book sales is the leaps and bounds in technology.Why do you buy a book when you can conveniently buy audiobooks(有声读物) instead?Here are4of the best audiobooks you can find.The Power of NowPublished in2000,The Power of Now explains a journey—a journey that encourages you to dismiss your analytical(分析的)mind and set aside yourself as well.The author,Eckhart Tolle,guides you through these transitions with easy words and phrases.The purpose of this book is to help you pay more attention to the current moment—the“now”.The AlchemistIt talks about the journey of a boy named Santiago who travels from Spain to Egypt in search of riches.Along the way,he meets three characters,a woman,a man who thinks he’s a king and the alchemist(炼金术士).These characters help guide Santiago to his goal,but over time that goal changes.It moves away from worldly riches to something deeper and more meaningful.The Power of HabitWritten by Charles Duhigg,it talks all about the power behind habits using various cases and plots to present Duhigg’s points.In the book,Duhigg turns complex systems and methods into easily digestible stories that people and businesses can relate to.OutliersWritten by Malcolm Gladwell,this book has popularized the idea that practising10,000hours in total will make you an expert in that area.It also covers other aspects about what many of today’s great people do in their daily life and how they have become successful in their own field.1.Why did Eckhart Tolle write The Power of Now?A.To encourage people to travel.B.To tell people to focus on the present.C.To meet different people’s curiosity.D.To give advice to the businessman.2.What did Santiago pursue during his journey at first?A.Wealth.B.Fame.C.Wisdom.D.Friendship.3.Which of the books talks about the power of practice?A.The Power of Now.B.Outliers.C.The Power of Habit.D.The Alchemist.BI once knew a high school teacher who made,in my mind,a curious comment.Referring to a naughty student,he remarked,with a tone of gloomy resignation,“People don’t change.”I knew the kid well.He was what one would call a“juvenile delinquent(不良少年)”.But if schooling held no promise of making positive changes in kids,what was the point of teaching?My own son,Alyosha,growing up,was athletic,energetic,and occasionally hard to handle.But he never showed the least interest in tools,or working with his hands in any way.The result was that he couldn’t tell a screwdriver from a paintbrush.I recall one day,as I fussed under the car,calling out to him to bring me an adjustable wrench(活动扳手).He fetched a pair of pliers(钳子).“No,”I pleaded while trying to hold an oily car part in place.“Pliers.”He went back into the garage and returned with a bar.“No, no,”I corrected him.“The adjustable wrench!For loosening a nut.”To which,in his own defence,he exclaimed,“Well,I don’t know!”Years passed.And then,one day,well into his20s,he told me he had decided on a technical school: machinery technology.I nodded approvingly,but already knew that it was a challenging field,full of moving parts,tools,and dreaded maths.During his period in Coast Guard Technical School,I thought about him daily,wondering what the outcome would be.I had prepared myself for the phone call telling me that it was just too much and he was being sent to sea as a deckhand.It didn’t happen.The phone did ring,but it was Alyosha asking me to fly to Virginia to attend his graduation and pin his new rank on his collar.Prouder I couldn’t have been.As I stood before my son,Alyosha,standing at attention and staring dead ahead,glanced at me.“You want me to help you,Dad?”he said.“Always,”I answered,“but not this time.”Yeah,people do change.And,in my experience,it’s usually something to see.4.What’s the author’s attitude towards the teacher’s remark?A.He approves of it.B.He argues against it.C.He is interested in it.D.He is uncertain about it.5.The examples in Paragraph2are used to show Alyosha.cked team spiritB.knew little about mechanicsC.had a bad relationship with his dadD.was willing to learn any handwork6.According to the author,a technical school.A.was a correct choice for Alyosha to makeB.might satisfy Alyosha’s interest in mechanicsC.was suitable for Alyosha to attendD.would be a challenge for Alyosha7.Why was the author ready to get the phone call from his son?A.He missed his son very much.B.He had an appointment with his son.C.He expected good news about his son.D.He thought his son would quit school.CAll across the nation,in Americans’backyards and garages and living rooms,wild animals kept as pets live side by side with their human owners.It’s believed that more exotic animals live in American homes than are cared for in American zoos.The exotic pet business has drawn criticism from animal welfare advocates and wildlife conservationists alike,who say it’s not only dangerous to bring wildlife into households but it’s cruel and criminal.Yet the issue is far from black or white.The term exotic pet has no firm definition.It can refer to any wildlife kept in human households or simply to a pet that’s more unusual than the common dog or cat.Privately owning exotic animals is currently permitted in a handful of states with no restrictions in America.Adam Roberts of Born Free USA keeps a running database of deaths and injuries caused by exotic pet ownership:In Connecticut a55-year-old woman’s face was permanently disfigured by her friend’s lifelong pet monkey;in Ohio an80-year-old man was attacked by a200-pound kangaroo;in Nebraska a34-year-old man was strangled(勒死)to death by his pet snake.And that list does not include the number of people who become sick from coming into contact with zoonotic(动物传染的)diseases.Some people see wild animals as pets as a way to connect with the natural world.Other exotic pet owners say they are motivated by a desire to preserve threatened species.They believe climate change and human population growth could wipe out a species in record time,so having a backup population is a good idea.But some groups like Born Free USA and the World Wildlife Fund say that captive breeding(圈养)of endangered species by private owners—whether for commercial,conservation,or educational reasons—serves only to continue a booming market for exotic animals.That,in turn,results in a greater risk to animals still living in their natural habitat.8.Which word can replace the phrase“far from black or white”in Paragraph1?A.Contradictory.B.Ridiculous.C.Controversial.D.Universal.9.Why does the writer list some deaths and injuries in the passage?A.To give us a clear and firm definition of exotic pets.B.To show keeping exotic animals can be very dangerous.C.To prove humans cannot be infected by animal diseases.D.To tell us it’s illegal to have exotic pet ownership in the USA.10.What’s the main idea of Paragraph3?A.The reasons for keeping exotic animals as pets.B.Worries about the endangered wild animals.C.The differences between people who keep exotic pets.D.The disadvantages of privately owning exotic animals.11.The last paragraph of the passage is intended to.A.introduce some animal protection groupsB.argue against keeping exotic animals in captivityC.warn people of the danger of animals being caughtD.prove captive breeding can encourage exotic pet businessDCars powered by batteries made from seawater and planes fueled by ammonia(氨)will become common over the next10years,Bill David,a professor of materials chemistry has predicted.Most batteries for electric cars and smartphones are powered by lithium(锂),which has to be mined, but David thinks that they will be overtaken by batteries made from sodium(钠),which can be obtained from seawater and salt.The future of air travel could also be greener thanks to biofuels.David said:“We are developing an ammonia-based plane.In principle,we can improve on an Airbus A320or a Boeing787and essentially replace jet fuel with ammonia.”David said that batteries could,at first,combine sodium and lithium,as sodium was not quite as powerful as lithium but is much more sufficient.“It’s not quite perfect in terms of performance,so we need both,”David said.“Sodium is on the way up and most electric cars have had a combination of lithium and sodium batteries in them.My estimate is that by2040I would not be surprised if there were ten times more sodium batteries than lithium ones,maybe even100times.”The first generation of mass-produced sodium batteries has been used for an electric car for the first time.Sodium will not be the final answer to eco-friendly air travel,however,which is why David’s team is looking into the use of ammonia.Some companies are looking into whether jet fuel can be replaced with hydrogen,but David sees ammonia as more sustainable.He said:“If you do the sums,then at500mph youget the same amount of power as jet fuel,but just40per cent of the range.However,even with the range hit,a787could still go from London to New York.”However,a report from the Royal Society on net-zero aviation,which David co-wrote,says that replacing jet fuel with biofuel would require half of the agricultural land in the UK.12.What is an advantage of sodium batteries?A.Their performance is easy to improve.B.Their raw material is easily accessible.C.They are widely applied to various vehicles.D.They are more powerful than other batteries.13.According to David,which is ideal for future electric cars?A.Lithium battery.B.Sodium battery.C.Hydrogen fuel.D.Ammonia fuel.14.What is Paragraph5mainly about?A.Hydrogen casts a light on jet fuel market.B.Electric car makers favour sodium batteries.C.Ammonia features sustainability and practicability.panies have mass-produced recycled batteries.15.What’s David’s attitude to replacing jet fuel with biofuel?A.Tolerant.B.Unclear.C.Cautious.D.Doubtful.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)Responsibility is an admirable character that makes life better for everyone around you.It isn’t only about doing your homework or feeding the dog.16Showing responsibility isn’t always easy,but practising and making an effort will help you improve over time.Think of the consequences before speaking or acting.Bad decisions often lead to a lot of new problems.Many times,you can avoid these problems by thinking about what you’re about to do before you go through with it.Irresponsible people often make decisions without realizing how they are affecting others.17Pause and reflect on your actions to see what you can do better.Take a time out to look back on what you have said or done,especially after a difficult decision.18Consider what goes right,what goes wrong,and what you can do differently next e what you learn to become wiser and more responsible.19If you’re honest,people will believe you are a responsible person.Try to be as honest as possible.Lying leads to deeper holes in the long run,so admit when you do something wrong.This can be very tough to do at times,but it’s something you can handle when you’re a responsible person.Apologize for any mistake you make.No one is perfect,and no matter how responsible you try to be, you might mess up sometimes.20If you hurt someone,tell them you are sorry and will do better next time.A.Tell the truth to be honest with others.B.Instead of hiding your mistakes,own them.C.Find solutions for problems instead of blaming others.D.It’s also about making proper choices and doing what is right.E.By reflecting,you give yourself a chance to make better decisions.F.Avoid big lies hurting one’s feelings if you want people to trust you.G.Most decisions affect other people,so be responsible for your choices.第二部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)On January20,Nome was cut off from the rest of the world due to heavy snow.Worse still,

Gardening changed how I see myself as a disabled woman. When I started gardening in 2018, I didn’t know anything about plants, let alone how to grow things we can eat. I thought gardening required a lot of 1 tasks. As I have a genetic (遗传的) condition that causes my bones to 2 easily, I didn’t believe I could complete them. The thought of taking care of plants in a wheelchair every day made me feel 3 . But just like how I gradually learnt everything else as a disabled person, I had to 4 how to garden my way.That first season, I visited my garden as much as I could. Noticing my interest in gardening, my neighbors in the community 5 offered me advice and support. Under their careful 6 , I managed to pull up the weeds and watered my plants on my own. Finally, I was so proud to eat the tomatoes I grew and even shared some with neighbors. They tasted like summertime.Gardening has 7 how I see other parts of my life. As a disabled woman, I fear being seen as a 8 and struggle to ask for the things I need. Gardening helped me normalize the fact that I have needs. I don’t think my plant is a heavy load because it needs more nutrition. I don’t 9 it for getting insects and not being able to fight against them. Gardening also helped me expand my social circle and grow close to people in our community.Over the years, gardening has made me feel more confident in every aspect of my lif e. I’m planting what I want to grow, and I have gained a lot of 10 from that.1. A. simple B. physical C. pleasant D. urgent2. A. change B. rest C. break D. move3.

He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn’t sit back.He started with cleanups along the river, something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors. In 2019, Cash, together with a Canadian conservationist, Ella Galaski-Rossen, started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids. Despite living in different countries, they managed to create educational videos on their YouTube channel. “We hope to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the U. S. and Canada,” Cash said. “We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean,” Cash said.Cash was selected as one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. He also earned the title of National Honoree, where he received a$5,000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his.,choice, and he became the first person to win the Youth Conservationist Award two years in a row from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation.“I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean. Because if you are connected to the ocean-if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it,” he said. “This is my fun, and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.”4. Which can replace the underlined words “sit back” in paragraph 2?A. Fall asleep.B. Lose heart.C. Turn a blind eye.D. Lend a hand.5. What is the purpose of starting the Cleanup Kids?A. To recycle waste plastics.B. To make instructive videos.C. To spread marine knowledge.D. To appeal for ocean protection.6. Which of the following best describes Cash Daniels?A. Sympathetic and devoted.B. Initiative and talented.C. Ambitious and humorous.D. Determined and modest.7. What does Cash Daniels story imply?A. Passion fuels dreams.B. Great minds think alike.C. Helping others is of great fun.D. Actions speak louder than words.CTo reduce the carbon emissions from passenger jets and long-haul trucks, a vast volume of soy-based renewable fuel will be needed. To produce it, American farmers could ruin existing cornfields to clear space, plant millions of additional acres of soybeans and shut down all soybean exports. Researchers at startups and biotech giants alike have found ways to create a new kind of soybeans through genetic recombination that generates more oil.One of the startups, ZeaKal Inc., funded in part by seed giant Corteva Inc., plans to introduce its first batch of high-oil seeds for commercial planting in 2024. Scientists have tricked the plant into sustaining photosynthesis for longer with genetic recombination, ultimately producing more oil as well as more protein.Companies are racing to build more capacity to process soy, a critical component for expanding green fuelsupplies. Tax credits make companies in the transportation industry switch to fuel with lower carbon emission.S&P Global sees domestic demand for renewable biofuel reaching 4 billion gallons in 2030, up from around 2.7 billion this year. It projects that the use of sustainable aviation fuel will total 1.7 billion gallons annually by the end of the decade, compared with just 182 million gallons a year now.Despite the bullish predictions, the soy-based transportation fuel market is still a drop in the bucket for the fuel industry. And even if the new breed of high-oil seeds takes off, widespread adoption will take time. Farmers may be reluctant to become early adopters of a technology that hasn’t yet proven its benefits, especially if the oil content comes at the expense of existing genetic recombinations that improve disease or pest resistance.Chicken producer Perdue Farms Inc. has signed a deal with Zeakal, agreeing to pay farmers a higher price for harvested supplies of the new variety, which is good for chicken feed because of its higher protein levels. If large oil companies follow suit, the soybean market might never look the same. “We could have an opportunity for the oil component of soybeans to actually become more important in some markets than the protein aspect,” says Mike Dillon, vice president of ZeaKal, “That’s a very dramatic shift.”8. How did researchers plan to produce more oil?A. By planting more soybeans.B. By banning soybean exports.C. By fertilizing soybean fields.D. By engineering soybean genes.9. What does the author want to show by mentioning the figure in paragraph 3?A. The continuous use of the fuel.B. The growing demand for biofuel.C. The serious lack of green fuel supplies.D. The fierce competition between companies.10. Who can change the current biofuel market according to the last paragraph?A. Companies.B. Farmers.C. Scientists.D. Governments11. Which can be the best title of the text?A. Biofuel: A New Way to Cut Down Carbon EmissionsB. Oilier Soybeans: Possible Reliance of the Future FuelC. A Big Shift: From Conventional Soybeans to Altered OnesD. Genetic Modification: A Technology to Breed New SoybeansDWhenever I order food for delivery, I play a little game to guess how many sets of tableware(餐具)the restaurant will provide with my meal. Sometimes restaurants will throw in two, three or four sets for just one order. But I rarely need any tableware at all, and the waste goes into the trash or collects dust in a kitchen drawer.Researchers working with Chinese technology group Alibaba tried a simple approach to this problem. Instead of just wastefully doling out tableware, the company required food-delivery customers in some cities in China to pick how many sets of tableware they wanted to receive.The default (默认设置)was set at zero. The result, published today in the journal Science, was a 638% increase in the share of no-tableware orders. If applied across China, researchers found, the approach would save nearly 22 billion sets of plastic tableware. The study doesn’t cover carbon emissions, but it’s safe to say that the impact would be significant. It struck me as a useful reminder of the many low-hanging fruits across the economy that can cut waste, and emissions.Nudging its customers cost Alibaba nothing more than a few hours of software engineering time and the impact it brought was immense. The concept of nudging comes from the field of behavioral economics known as nudge theory. It suggests that a slight action can encourage good human behavior without the need for policies that limit choice or economic punishment that raises the cost of bad behavior. To nudge customers to eat better, for example, a restaurant might organize its menu by listing healthy options first and bury unhealthy ones at the bottom. More recently, some big companies like Google have also begun to use nudges to advance climate objectives.Behavioral economics broadly, and nudges more specifically, aren’t without controversy. Some might think it assigns consumers responsibility for addressing environmental challenges. But there is another way to look at it. In the absence of necessary policy—and policy is needed一companies can help encourage a widespread shift of consumer behavior.And all of that behavioral change can add up. The International Energy Agency found in 2021 that small behavioral changes in energy consumption such as walking instead of driving and adjusting the thermostat could in total shave off 4% of global emissions. The more that companies can do to facilitate such changes, the better.12. What did Alibaba do with tableware waste?A. It stopped restaurants from handing out tableware.B. It withdrew unused tableware from customers.C It updated the food -delivery device regularly..D. It allowed picking tableware at customers’ demand.13. What do the underlined words “low-hanging fruits” mean in paragraph 2?A. Easily accessible things.B. Fast increasing orders.C. Exceptionally tough choices.D. Widely accepted strategies.14. What can we learn about nudge theory from paragraph 3?A. It brings about economic loss.B. It results from consumption policies.C. It indicates small action changes behaviour.D. It implies bad behaviour impacts economy.15What is the main idea of the text?.A. Nudge theory affects behaviors.B. Good behaviors boost economy.C. Nudging helps build a greener world.D. Behavioral economics benefits customers.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Silence is a resource, it said.Silence first appeared in scientific research as a control or baseline,against which scientists compare the effects of noise or music.Researchers have mainly studied it by accident,as physician Luciano Bernardi did in his study of the physiological(生理学)effects of music. We didn t think about the effect of silence, he said.Bernardi observed two dozen test subjects while they listened to six musical tracks.He found that the impacts of music could be read directly in the bloodstream,via changes in blood pressure,carbon dioxide,and circulation in the brain. During almost all sorts of music,there was a physiological change with a condition of arousal (兴奋), he explained.This effect made sense,given that active listening requires attention.But the more striking finding appeared between musical tracks.Bernardi and his colleagues discovered that randomly added stretches of silence also had a great effect,but in the opposite direction.In fact,two-minute silent pauses proved far more relaxing than either relaxing music or a longer silence played before the experiment started.The blank pauses that Bernardi had considered irrelevant,in other words,became the most interesting object of study.Silence seemed to be heightened by contrasts,maybe because it gave test subjects a release from careful attention. Perhaps the arousal is something that concentrates the mind in one direction,so that when there is nothing more arousing,then you have deeper relaxation, he said.This finding is reinforced by neurological(神经系统的)research.Relevant research shows when our brains rest quietly,they integrate external and internal information into a conscious (意识的)workspace. Freedom from noise and goal-directed tasks,it appears,unites the quiet without and within,allowing our conscious workspace to do its thing to discover where we fit in. Noora Vikman,a consultant on silence for Finland s marketers,knows silence well.Living in a remote and quiet place in Finland,she discovers thoughts and feelings that aren t detectable in her busy daily life. If you want to know yourself,you have to be with yourself,and discuss with yourself,and be able to talk with yourself.27.Why does the author mention the Country Brand Report in Paragraph1?A.To present how Finland viewed silence.B.To highlight the need of noise in Finland.C.To explain why Finland issued the brands.D.To indicate the authority of the Delegation.28.What can be inferred about Luciano Bernardi s discovery?A.It challenged the calming effect of music.B.It emphasized the role of silence between sounds.C.It illustrated the loss of attentiveness after silence.D.It stated brains information processing in the quiet.29.As for Noora Vikman s attitude to silence,the author is.A.doubtfulB.supportiveC.disapprovingD.unconcerned30.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.Silence:A Limited ResourceB.Silence:A Misunderstood ToolC.Silence:The Unexpected PowerD.Silence:The Value by ContrastsDA few years ago,the City Council of Monza,Italy,barred petowners from keeping goldfish in curved fishbowls.The sponsors of themeasure explained that it is cruel to keep a fish in such a bowlbecause the curved sides give the fish a distorted view of reality.Aside from the measure s significance to the poor goldfish,the storyraises an interesting philosophical question:How do we know that the reality we perceive is true? Physicists are finding themselves in a similar trouble to the goldfish s.For decades they have been pursuing an ultimate theory of everything one complete and consistent set of fundamental laws of nature that explain every aspect of reality.It now appears that this pursuit may generate not a single theory but a family of interconnected theories,each describing its own version of reality, as if it viewed the universe through its own fishbowl.This concept may be difficult for many people to accept.Most people believe that there is an objective reality out there and that our senses and our science directly convey(传达)information about the material world.In philosophy,that beliefIn physics,realism is becoming difficult to defend.Instead,the idea of alternative realities is a mainstay of today s popular culture.For example,in the science-fiction film The Matrix the human race is unknowingly living in a simulated(模拟的)virtual reality created by intelligent computers.How do we know we are not just computer-generated characters living in a Matrix-like world?If like us the beings in the simulated world could not observe their universe from the outside,they would have no reason to doubt their own pictures of reality. Similarly,the goldfish s view is not the same as ours from outside their curved bowl.For instance,because light bends as it travels from air to water,a freely moving object that we would observe to move in a straight line would be observed by the goldfish to move along a curved path. The goldfish could form scientific laws from their frame(框架)of reference that would always hold true and that would enable them to make predictions about the future motion of objects outside the bowl.If the goldfish formed such a theory,we would have to admit the goldfish s view as a reasonable picture of reality.The goldfish example shows that the same physical situation can be modeled in different ways,each employing different fundamental elements and concepts.It might be that to describe the universe we have to employ different theories in different situations.It is not the physicist s traditional expectation for a theory of nature,nor does it correspond to our everyday idea of reality. But it might be the way of the universe.31.What does the underlined word distorted in Paragraph1most probably mean?A.Original.㊀㊀B.Accurate.㊀㊀C.Distant.㊀㊀D.False.32.What does Paragraph2mainly tell us?A.The need for a complete theory.B.The lasting conflict in physics.C.The existence of the material world.D.The conventional insight of reality.33.What can we learn from the passage?A.Nature s mysteries are best left undiscovered.B.An external world is independent of the observers.C.People s theories are influenced by their viewpoints.D.It is essential to figure out which picture of reality is better.34.According to the passage,the author may agree that.A.various interpretations of the universe are welcomedB.physicists have a favorite candidate for the final theoryC.multiple realities can be pieced together to show the real world第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑㊂选项中有两项为多余选项㊂An apology can achieve great things for both the givers and the receivers although nobody likes to admit that they were wrong.An apology is crucial to our physical health.When we acknowledge that we are wrongdoers and express our guilt to others,we will free ourselves from the uncomfortable state.This act feels like a weight on us has been lifted.㊀35㊀Research showed that heart rate,sweat levels and facial tension decreased in victims of wrongs even when they simply imagined receiving an apology.Apologizing affects us not just physically,but also mentally.㊀36㊀When presented with an apology,the victims may view us as imperfect human beings and find it easier to give forgiveness. In a powerful piece in Psychology Today,writer Beverly Engel described how a simple I m sorry from her mother,after being estranged from each other for three years,made her relieved emotionally.But let s be real,apologizing can be difficult.㊀37㊀We should recognize our action did hurt someone even if our intention may not have been so.Instead of making excuses for what we did,try to bear responsibility and offer a promise to take action so that we will not repeat the behavior in future.㊀38㊀Of course,the most effective apologies often bring a cost to our dignity,since we have to admit that we are wrong in front of others or many people.㊀39㊀As is known,it is one of the most positive actions we can take when we do something wrong for ourselves,the others,and the relationship.So,go ahead,apologize a little more often for the things worth apologizing for.A.There are agreed-upon ways to express our apology to others.B.It s a way of showing the price we paid for the wronged action.C.A good apology affects the health of those on the receiving end,too.D.But this can often be minor compared to the benefits of a proper apology.E.This means we should take the blame and not try to justify it or explain it away.F.Apologize for what you did rather than what other people might have thought about it.G.It has the ability to disarm others of their anger and to prevent further misunderstandings.第三部分㊀书面表达(共两节,32分)第一节(共4小题;第40㊁41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题㊂请在答题卡指定区域作答㊂Building relationships and working successfully with different cultural backgrounds can seem like a major challenge.But you can enjoy the rewards,while keeping dissatisfaction to aminimum.The key to making them work is cultural competence.Essentially,cultural competence is defined as the ability to understand and interact effectively with people from different cultures. Cultural competence is critical for everyone in today s modern world.Living and working in a culturally diverse environment sometimes comes with differences of opinion and tension.People with strong cultural competence can resolve these issues creatively,even if a solution seems impossible at first.What s more,thinking and caring about others with different experiences can bring out a sense of understanding.This helps to build trust between each other. Cultural competence can be improved through training,education,and experience.Here are some simple tips to help you improve your cultural competence.Assess yourselfThe starting point is to understand your own cultural values and world view.Assess the current level of cultural competence in yourself and identify the knowledge,skills and resources that you want to acquire.This can give you an idea of your strengths and weaknesses in the area so that you can improve yourself in future.Practice good mannersNo matter whom you are dealing with,make sure that you are respecting others backgrounds, boundaries and customs.Pay close attention to your communication and make sure that you re speaking to others in a kind and polite way.Ask questionsWhen you don t understand something or want to know why someone has behaved in a certain way,simply ask.Asking questions stops you making unnecessary assumptions,and shows the questions you did not understand to them.Keep in mind that developing cultural competence is not a one-shot enterprise.It takes time and practice.Whether you are in a classroom or on campus,cultural competence plays an important role in your daily environment.Recognizing and dealing with cultural differences will create a happier setting for everyone.40.What is cultural competence according to the passage?41.Why is cultural competence important for people in intercultural environment?42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.To improve our cultural competence,we should not only understand our strengths andweaknesses in this area,but also ask questions when we don t understand others behaviors,even if we may speak in an impolite way.43.Apart from the tips mentioned in the passage,what other way(s)can you think of to develop your cultural competence?(In about40words)第二节(20分)假设你是红星中学高三学生李华㊂你班交换生Jim打算利用寒假在家锻炼身体,发来邮件向你咨询㊂请你给他写一封回信,内容包括:1.推荐一款app和推荐理由;2.给出运动建议㊂注意:1.词数100左右;2.开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数㊂Dear Jim,㊀㊀㊀Yours,Li Hua北京市朝阳区2022～2023学年度第一学期期末质量检测高三英语参考答案2023.1第一部分知识运用（共两节，30分）第一节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分）1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．B6．A 7．D 8．C 9．D 10.

ABeing a pilot was first seen as a male occupation, however, these amazing female aviators proved that to be wrong.Amy JohnsonOn May 5, 1930, Amy Johnson, an English pilot, set out in her airplane, hoping to beat the record for the fastest flight between England and Australia: 15 days. Flying through sandstorms, monsoons, and terrible heat, she made several forced landings and landed in Australia 19 days later. She didn’t beat the record, but she was the first female to make the solo flight. Johnson set other solo records and eventually earned the nickname “Queen of the Air.”Lee Ya-ChingLee Ya-Ching was China’s first woman pilot. When war broke out between China and Japan in 1937, Lee volunteered to be a combat pilot(空战飞行员)but the government declined that offer. Determined to do more to help her country, Lee set up a hospital and refugee(难民)camps. Then she bought a plane and set out a goodwill tour. She flew all over the United States, Canada, South America, and the Caribbean to raise money to help Chinese refugees by entertaining crowds with her flying.Lotfia El NadiDuring the 1910s in Egypt, girls were expected to become housewives. Lotfia El Nadi, however, wanted a more exciting life. While attending the college, El Nadi secretly enrolled a flying school, working as the school’s secretary to pay for her lessons. In 1933, at the age of 26, she became the first female pilot in the Arab world. El Nadi’s fame inspired many other young Egyptian women to become pilots.1.

Their achievements are recorded in the history of professional sports.Marjorie GestringMarjorie Gestring was only 13 years and 268 days old when she won a gold medal for her county. After 1936, the Olympies were sopped for the Second World War. Following the conclusion of the war, she could not qualify for the 1948 London Olympics. Marjorie Gestring would have won more gold medals considering her talent if not for the World War II.Klaus ZertaKlaus Zerta was only 13 years and 283 days old when he won a gold medal at the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy. He cooperated with his teammates Bernhard Knubel and Heinz Renneberg to win the gold medal. Klaus was from West Germany but represented the unified team of Germany at the Olympics. Moreover, he is the youngest confirmed male athlete to win the gold medal in the history of the Summer Olympics,Fu MingxiaChinese female diver Fu Mingxia is popular for being one of the youngest Olympic diving champions. She won a gold medal at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona when she was just 13 years and 345 days old. Her last Olympic gold medal came during the 2000 Sydney Olympics, which emphasized the environmental protection and the reduction in waste. With the fourth gold medal, she joined Americans Pat McCormick and Greg Louganis as the world's only quadruple (四次的) Olympic diving champions.Nadia ComaneciNadia Comaneci is a five time Olympic gold medalist. She is a retired gymnast and one of the youngest athletes to win the gold medal. In 1976, she became the first gymnast to receive a perfect score of 10. She was merely 14 years old when she secured the gold medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Interestingly, back then, a gymnast had to be 14 to participate but later the age limit went up to16.1. Which of the following players played team sports?A. Marjorie Gestring.B. Klaus Zerta.C. Fu Mingxia.D. Nadia Comaneci.2. Which Olympics might come up with the concept of “Green Olympics”?A. The 1948 London Olympics.B. The 1992 Barcelona Olympics.C. The 1976 Montreal Olympics.D. The 2000 Sydney Olympics.3. What can we learn from the text?A. Klaus Zerta defeated Bernhard Knubel and Heinz Renneberg in 1960.B. Fu Mingxia won more Olympic-diving champions than Pat McCormick.C. Marjorie Gestring didn’t participate in the Olympics because of the war in 1948.D. It is impossible to break Nadia Comaneci's record as the youngest gymnast gold medalist.BLately, I’ve been traveling around the world. No longer am I waking up far away from my home, tired from a late night of writing down the stories I collected the day before. Things are different now, and each day my travels begin like this: 1 sit down at my dining table, usually early in the morning or late at night when nobody else is awake, and I listen to the radio.The radio station is always from somewhere that isn't here in New York, and most often it comes from a free-to-use website called Radio Garden. Move your mouse and maybe you will land in Bujumbura, Burundi; in Dibrugarh, India; or on the edge of the South Pacific. Seemingly no matter how large or small the broadcaster is, if it sends out a signal online, it can appear on the site and you can listen to it.During the pandemic, Radio Garden, which is now available as an app, at times attracted as many as 15 million monthly listeners. “We received many heartwarming emails from people stuck at home expressing their gratitude for the service,” said Jonathan Puckey, the site’s founder.Radio Garden began as a project of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, where designers and computer programmers overlaid (覆盖) station streams with their geographical locations on a 3-D map of the world. As a result, there is more than one way to transmit. Visiting a country like Colombia brought back memories of past trips - - romantic accordion music reminding me of bus rides on the rural roads.Where will you visit first on the Radio Garden globe? For me, thrilling as it is to drop in on Ouagadougou or Ulaanbaatar or the Azores, it’s all about personal history: I was born and raised in New York, but my family is from everywhere—Latin America, the Middle East, and places in between. My ancestors were merchants who traded in goods and cultures. Now, because of their wanderings, pieces of six languages still fly across our dinner tables. Thanks to Radio Garden, my family can cross planes of space and time without worry!4. What does the first paragraph focus on?A. The joys of radio travel.B. A scene of traveling by radio.C. A popular way of traveling.D. The difference in this travel.5. What do we know about Radio Garden?A. It is affordable.B. It is widely accepted.C. It is easy to maintain.D. It is based in New York.6. What does the author think is the greatest advantage of Radio Garden?A. Simplifying travel schedules.B. Making tourism popular again.C. Improving the traveling experience.D. Promoting the virtual reality travel.7. What does the last paragraph imply?A. Radio Garden is expanding quickly.B. Radio Garden increases global connections.C. Radio Garden benefits from global awareness.D. Radio Garden facilitates the development of tourism.CPeople do physical exercise as part of their healthy lifestyle to get stronger and healthier.There are three basic modes of physical exercise: flexibility exercise helps the human body in general or its part in particular to be able to reach farther and bend better; aerobic exercise helps the body work hard for a long time; anaerobic exercise makes the arms and legs stronger.It has long been known that exercise is not only good for your body, but also for your mind. According to researchers, gymnasts are more likely to be emotionally stable, football players the most outgoing and swimmers the happiest.The psychological study, which was carried out by experts, also revealed that sports can also offer clues to a person’s attitude to charity, reading habits and even their voting intentions. Boxers, for example, are most likely to focus on material possessions in life. Meanwhile, runners tend to be outgoing people who love being the centre of attention. Walkers, a group that includes those who enjoy wandering and cross-country races, are least concerned about other people and like doing things by themselves without interruption from others. Those who play chess are confident when they face challenges and trouble. Those who swim tend to be tidy and charitable. However, according to Mind Lab, 61 percent of adults are fond of helping others regardless of their choice of sports.The results. from this study also show that no matter what kind of person you are, there is the right kind of exercise for you,8. Which of the following sports belongs to flexibility exercise?A. Running.B. Swimming.C. Football.D. Gymnastics.9. What can we learn from the text?A. Walkers enjoy loneliness in their lives.B. Boxers tend to ignore wealth in life.C. Runners have great power of concentration.D. Chess players like challenging other people.10. Why does the author mention Mind Lab in Paragraph 4?A. To make a contrast.B. To draw a comparison.C. To place an emphasis.D. To give an example.11. What is the best title for the text?A. How can you choose suitable sports?B. What kind of sports can benefit you most?C. How can sports keep you mentally healthy?D. What does your choice of sports tell about you?DConsumers in the U.S. spend billions of dollars a year on gifts wrapping. Two colleagues and I wondered whether all that time and effort is actually worth it. So we conducted three experiments to explore the impact of gift wrapping.In the first experiment, we involved 180 students, who were given a gift—a coffee cup with the logo of one of two NBA basketball teams, the local Miami Heat or rival (竞争对手) Orlando Magic. Every participant was a fan of the Heat and they obviously didn't support the Magic. We gave half of the students a desirable gift, while the others received something they disliked. Finally, half of the gifts were wrapped neatly, while the rest looked sloppy (凌乱的).We found that those who received a sloppily wrapped gift liked their present significantly more than those who received a neatly wrapped gift—regardless of which cup they got.To understand why, we asked another set of students to report their expectations about either a neatly or sloppily wrapped gift. Results showed that expectations were significantly higher for the neatly wrapped gifts. However, receivers of the neatly wrapped gift reported that it failed to live up to their expectations, while those who got the sloppily wrapped gift said it surpassed (超过) their expectations.In our final experiment, we surveyed 261 adults and asked them to imagine receiving either a neatly or sloppily wrapped gift. This time we instructed half of them to imagine the gift was from a close friend, while the other half believed it came from an acquaintance (熟人). Then we revealed the gift and asked them to rate it.When it came from a close friend, receivers ended up liking the sloppily wrapped gift more. However, for the gift from an acquaintance, receivers preferred it when it was neatly wrapped. This occurs because these participants used the wrapping as a cue for how much the gift-giver values their relationship.So if you’re stressed over gift wrapping this holiday season, consider saving yourself effort and money by wrapping your friends’ gifts haphazardly (随意地). But for someone you don’t know quite as well, it’s probably worth it to show that you put in some effort to make it look good with all of the beautiful bows.12. What did the researchers find in the first experiment?A. A desirable gift is expected to be wrapped sloppily.B. Participants were more interested in neatly wrapped gifts.C. A soppily wrapped gift can make the receiver much happier.D. Participants responded the same to gifts with different wrappings.13. Why did the researchers carry out the second experiment?A. To further explain the result of the first experiment.B. To compare receivers’ expectations for the same gifs.C. To know why receivers have different expectations for gifs.D. To find out the impact of wrapping on receives’ expectations.14. What do neatly wrapped gifts show according to the third experiment?A. The gift giver is very skilled at wrapping gifts,B. The gift giver has a close relationship with the receiver.C. The gift giver attaches great importance to the relationship.D. The gift giver wants to become a close friend of the receiver.15. What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?A. To give examples.B. To make suggestions.C. To make comparisons.D. To present an argument.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

人教版高三英语期末试卷第一部分阅读(共两节，满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AFilms for you! .A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973)A true classic, this Peanuts cartoon gives many viewers a sense of nostalgia (怀旧) .Return to the iconic moment when Lucy pulls the football away from Charlie Brown right as he's about to kick it. Life is hard, but in this animated film, sweetness wins when the Peanuts group prepares a Thanksgiving feast, complete with jelly beans.Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)This John Hughes comedy starring Steve Martin and John Candy is already a Thanksgiving classic for many. Neal ends up rerouting the plane because of a snowstorm. As he struggles to find a way home for Thanksgiving, he gets stuck with extremely positive Del.One True Thing (1998)Meryl Streep was nominated (提名) for an Academy Award for her performance in this movie as a wife and mom who struggles with cancer. Renee Zellweger plays the grown daughter who has to come home to help with the holiday. The two try to hold the family together, especially during a tense Thanksgiving meal when guests get all the attention.The Gold Rush (1925)Charlie Chaplin as the Little Tramp eats his shoe for Thanksgiving dinner while trapped in a snowstorm in this endearing silent film classic from 1925. Watch this one if you're in the mood to see a leather shoe prepared and eaten as if it were a delicious turkey. It makes you grateful for what you have!1. What could A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving remind many viewers of?A. Birth of animated films.B. History of football games.C. Taste of jelly beans.D. Sweet memories of old days.2. Which film best suits people who want to see a leather shoe eaten?A. The Gold Rush.B. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.C. One True Thing .D. Planes, Trains and Automobiles.3. What do these four films have in common?A. They are related to Thanksgiving.B. They tell interesting family stories.C. They describe the holiday activities.D. They are based on the authors' own life.BAll human societies play games. Kicking a ball can be found everywhere whether just a ball of cloth, or a skin stuffed with feathers or air.But complex games and team sports have tended to arise in big civilizations- the higher the cultural level of a society, the greater the complexity of interaction, and hence perhaps the more complex the forms of sport.This is not always the case. The ancient Greeks, for example, preferred individual not team sports. But in China for well over 2,000 years, people played the game of“kickball"—cuju. The members were often young men from wealthy families though there were alsoprofessional kickballers, whom you could stick with in your team as sleepers.Cuju was played as entertainment at court banquets or the reception of foreign ambassadors. Even emperors played kickball.As you'd expect in a Confucian society, kickball clubs were keen on the key qualities of mercy and courtesy. A great player was one who showed“the spirit of the game". The "Ten Essentials of Kickball" included respect for other players, polite behaviors and team spirit. There was to be no ungentlemanly behavior, no dangerous play, and no hogging ( 独占) the ball. In other words, as we used to say,“play up and play the game."What a contrast with the ancient Greek athletics where only victory counted and if that needed gamesmanship, or cruel professional fouls (犯规) , then so be it.As a way of national culture protection, cuju was listed into the first batch of China's intangible cultural heritages (非物质文化遗产) in 2006.4. What does the underlined phrase“stuffed with" mean in paragraph 1?A. Filled with.B. Decorated with.C. Surrounded with.D. Covered with.5. What probably contributes to the complicated games?A. Teams.B. Interaction.C. Society.D. Civilizations.6. Who were the major members in a cuju team according to the text?A. Sleepers.B. The rich young men.C. Emperors.D. The professional athletes.7. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. Kickball's popularity.B. Kickball's development.C. Kickball's importance.D. Kickball's characteristics.CWhat could driving a race car and pointing a camera at the Milky Way have in common？More than you might imagine．Race car driver Bubba Wallace and photographer Batak Tefreshi journeyed together to remote Gooseberry Mesa for an adventure aimed at capturing the night sky．Gooseberry Mesa，far from population centers，is protected from the nighttime light pollution making it perfect for star photographers．Nature night environments such as this are rare．Camping，hiking，and shooting stars in mountainous Mesa highlight the similarity betweenphotography and racing．Bubba notes，“Once you fire up the engine there's no turning back-I know I'll be in that scat for more than three hours．” Batak agrees，“I have the same feeling as soon as I touch the wheel of my camera-I'm ready to continue through the entire night．” For Bubba，developing patience allowed him to mature as a driver and is equally essential to his photography．Seizing the moment is crucial too．“Every minute things are changing-the Earth's shadow．the moonlight．the rise of stars，” Batak explains．“If you lose the moment，it's gone forever．” Bubba finds the physical and mental demands of racing as crucial when travelling in Utah's rugged landscapes under freezing temperatures．Think incoming clouds，wind，or mist will ruin your chance at a perfect shot？According to Batak．“With wide-angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity．Our photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn't see under a clear sky．”The team discovered shared interests that go beyond photography．“We're both passionate about bringing cultures together and using our work to break down boundaries，”says Batak．“The night sky has a unifying power．The sky connects the whole world under one umbrella．”8．Why did Bubba and Batak choose Gooseberry Mesa？A. It has a small population．B. It has ideal weather conditions．C. It is free from light pollution．D. It has a magnificent landscape．9．Which is required in both car racing and photography？A. Willpower．B. Teamwork．C. Bravery．D. Creativity．10．What does Batak think of unexpected weather as a photographer？A. Annoying．B. Disastrous．C. Favorable．D. Challenging．11．Which may be a message behind the team's photography work？A. Appreciating the night sky．B. Connecting various cultures．C. Removing racial boundaries．D. Protecting the environment．DMore than 45,000 years ago, by the shore of present-day Tasmania, a local person picked up a large piece of thick, dark brown seaweed. And he realized that this giant piece of seaweed could be used to make a watertight bag. And 45,000 years later on mainland Australia, people are again turning to seaweed to solve pressing problems. Today, it is used to address the world's climate crisis.Winberg, a marine ecologist at the University of Wollongong, has spent decades studying seaweed. She believes seaweed's fast growth rate and ability to absorb vast amounts of carbondioxide can help fight climate change, de-acidify (降低酸度) the oceans, and change the way we farm, not just in the oceans but also on land.“If we used the infrastructure we have in the ocean and created seaweed islands, we would actually get rid of many climate change issues we have today," says Winberg. Realizing seaweed's potential as a climate solution, Winberg opened Australia's first land-based, commercial seaweed farm in 2013. On her farm in New Wales, Winberg produces seaweed extracts ( 提取物) that are used in food, cosmetics and medicines.Like plants on land, seaweed absorbs CO2 and grows biomass (生物量) . Coastal marine systems can absorb carbon at rates up to 50 times greater than forests on land, according to Emily Pidgeon, senior director of strategic marine initiatives at Conservation International. Globally, seaweeds are thought to absorb nearly 200 million tons of CO2 every year - as much as New York State's annual emissions. And when the seaweed dies, much of the carbon locked up in its tissues is transported to deep oceans.By raising pH levels in the ocean, seaweeds also improve growing conditions for shellfish such as oysters and mussels, whose shells become more fragile ( 脆弱的) in acidic environments. The potential for seaweed cultivation doesn't stop in the oceans. Winberg has found there are benefits to doing it on land too. She believes that seaweed farming offers “huge potential"to not only address the climate crisis, but also feed a growing population in a sustainable way.According to Winberg, one hectare (公顷) of a seaweed farm can produce more protein than the same amount of land used for cattle. “We're sitting on undiscovered, renewable,sustainable resources," she says.12.What is mainly introduced about seaweed in paragraph 1?A.Its use.B. Its history.C. Its origin.D. Its appearance.13. Why is seaweed spoken highly of according to the text?A. It lowers the ocean temperature directly.B. It contributes to shellfish's growing speed.C. It produces the same amount of protein as cattle.D. It grows fast and can absorb carbon at a high rate.14. What is Winberg's attitude towards seaweed?A. Unclear.B. Favorable.C. Critical.D. Doubtful.15. What is the best title for the text?A. CO2, a Killer of Climate ChangeB. Pollution, the World's Climate CrisisC. Seaweed, a Potential Climate SolutionD. Infrastructure, a Way of Eliminating Climate Issues第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
