2021届宜兴市实验中学高三英语月考试题及答案解析
2021届宜兴市实验中学高三英语月考试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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ASome young people win attention because of their good looks or their singing ability. A much smaller number gain fame because they have done something important and worthwhile with their abilities. Rishab Jain is among the latter. In 2018, 13-year-oldRishab developed a way to use AI technology to help pancreatic(胰腺的) cancer patients and won the3MYoung Scientist Challenge, a nationwide middle-school science competition, and its $25,000 prize.In the last stage of the contest, Rishab competed againstnine other finalists at the 3M Innovation Center(创新中心) in St.Paul,Minnesota. Leading up to the big meet, each finalist had partnered with a scientist to further develop their inventions.Rishab explains what led him to create his invention. First,a family friend died of cancer. Then Rishab learned about how deadly pancreatic cancer is, and that its low survival rate is due to how difficult it is to treat. "I'm also into programming, so I was learning about AI technology. I decided to try to solve a real-world problem using it."His winnings have been put in further research and in his nonprofit Samyak Science Society, which helps poor children enter the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education. Rishab is also raising awareness about pancreatic cancer. These efforts make him quite different from teenagers of his age. Considering becoming a biomedical engineer or a doctor一or both, he has also put some money aside to further his own learning. Almost certainly the doors of higher education will open wide to him before he even knocks.That's an outstanding outlook for one so young. Rashib is committed to helping very sick people in need. He is also providing teenagers of his age with a much-needed model of what kinds of things youth can achieve.1. What can we learn about the 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2018?A. It was intended to solve medical problems.B. It was a nationwide AI competition for teenagers.C. It offered the finalists an opportunity to work with scientists.D. It allowed the finalists to learn AI technology in the 3M center.2. How did Rishab win the 3M Young Scientist Challenge?A.He showed excellent programming ability.B. He figured out the survival rate of pancreatic cancer.C. He introduced poor children to STEM education.D. He applied AI technology to treating pancreatic cancer.3. Which of the following best describes Rishab?A. Talented and caring.B. Independent and humorous.C. Responsible and patient.D. Polite and inspiring.BIn a recent survey of 2000 Americans, housecleaning was shown to have some mood-boosting effects — but that doesn't mean everybody is willing to do it.The majority of respondents (受访者) said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment (65%) and helped them clear their mind (63%). Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when they're happy. In fact, 63% of those surveyed find the experience of cleaning to be relaxing - even more so than getting fresh air (61%).But that's not the only reason people clean. A big 70% admitted that tidying their home was a way of putting off having to do other things, with the average procrastinator (拖延者) using that trick four times a week. The survey showed that 86% of respondents do feel on top of their housework, but the last deep clean of their kitchen happened over a week and a half ago. That's no surprise because the kitchen is most terrible of all.Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of DishFish, the survey investigated people's attitudes toward dirty dishes and how they get through tricky task. More than two-thirds of people (69%) let their dishes pile up between washings with 20% saying “always” letting them be placed in the sink, which left them feeling stressed. More than any other room, the kitchen was rated as “very difficult” to cope with. And most people enjoy cleaning their toilet or taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.How do they get through it? 66% listen to music while they clean. 72% have a best-loved song that they sounded while tidying up their home, with “Uptown Funk,”“Read All About It” and “Work” being the three favorite tunes on America's cleaning playlist.4. What is the result of the survey?A. Housecleaning may contribute to a good mood to some extent.B. Housecleaning may strengthen people's willingness to volunteer.C. Housecleaning may cause anxiety and concern for some people.D. Housecleaning may improve people's motivation to other housework.5. What is the top reason why people undertake housecleaning?A. They can entertain themselves.B. They can take in fresh air.C. They get a sense of achievement.D. They can delay other things.6. What are respondents' attitudes to dirty dishes?A. Many would rather wash dishes than throw out the rubbish.B. Half are under pressure with dirty dishes lying in the sink.C. A quarter will let dirty dishes pile up after their meals.D. Most prefer cleaning their toiletto washing dishes by hand.7. What column does the text belong to?A. Feature Story.B. Family Life.C. Scientific Hotspot.D. Finance Focus.CWe touch our faces all the time, and it had never seemed to be a big problem—until COVID-19 arrived. Touching our faces—the "T-zone" of our eyes, nose and mouth in particular—can mean giving ourselves the deadly virus.This is why organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have suggested that we avoid touching our faces. "Just stop this simple behavior," William Sawyer, founder of Henry the Hand, a nonprofit organization that promotes hand hygiene (卫生), told The Washington Post. "It's the one behavior that would be better than any vaccine (疫苗) ever created."Yet, stopping this "simple" behavior might be harder than you think because it's already hardwired (固定存在于) into our system.Some face touchingis an automatic reflex (反射) —like when there is an itch (痒) on your nose, you'll scratch (挠) it without thinking. According to CNBC, a 2014 study found that touching your face also helps to reduce stress and regulate emotions. For example, you're more likely to do it when you feel awkward or embarrassed. According to Dacher Keltner, a psychologist at the University of California Berkeley, US, this action may also come with a social function: When you are talking to someone and want to change the subject, for example, touching your faceis like "the curtains on a stage, closing up one act of the social drama, ushering (引导) in the next," Keltner told the BBC.Moreover, face-touching in almost all of these occasions is subconscious, which means it's very hard to change "because you don't even know you're doing it", said Sawyer. But you're not alone. In a 2015 study, wherea group of medical students were filmed in class, it was found that they touched their faces an average of 23 times an hour—with 44 percent of the touches being in the "T-zones". That was particularly surprising since medical students were supposed to know better.Since it's so hard to shake the habit, maybe the easiest way is to wash our hands more often. This way, we can be sure that our hands are free from the novel coronavirus.8. What do the first two paragraphs talk about?A. The best way to fight COVID-19B. How organizations are fighting COVID-19.C. Typical hand hygiene problems in the fight against COVID-19.D. The necessity to avoid touching our faces to fight COVID-19.9. Why is it hard for people to stop touching their faces?A. It makes people feel more confident.B. Many are unaware of this behavior's risks.C. They usually do it automatically and subconsciouslyD. Many think the action helps them express their emotions.10. Which of the following is a social function of touching faces, according to the text?A. Using it as a sign to change the topicB. Bringing a conversation to an end.C. Showing an interest in the ongoing subject.D. Making others feel relaxed while talking.11. What is the author's purpose in mentioning a 2015 study on a group of medical students?A. To give tips on how to stop touching faces.B. To prove that it is common for people to touch their faces.C. To show it is impossible to shake the habit of touching your face.D. To show how hygiene awareness helps people avoid touching their faces.D12. The five passes all include ________.A. a dinner cruiseB. a magic showC. a city tourD. a trolley ride13. Accordingto the rules and restrictions, ________.A. visitors can return their ticketsB. reservations cannot be cancelledC. passes cannot be shared among usersD. users can visit attractions more than once14. To make reservations, you can ________.A. write an e-mailB. make a phone callC. send a text messageD. fill out an online form15.

The Green Generation Initiative is a Kenyan charity that has been planting trees to counter climate change and the reduction in forest in the East African nation since 2016.Founded by climate activist Elizabeth Wathuti when she was fifteen years old, the initiative’s primary focus is on developing young climate activists through environmental education in schools and addressing food insecurity in the region through planting fruit trees. Since its foundation, over 30,000 trees have been planted in Kenya, while thousands of school children have not just planted trees but adopted them to ensure that young people learn the importance of acting as a guardian over the health of the environment. The trees have recorded a survival rate of over 98 percent, as they remain tended to from young trees to maturity.Speaking to world leaders at the recent United Nations Climate Conference in Glasgow (COP26), Elizabeth issued a serious warning on the threat of climate change. Over two million of Kenyans are facing climate related starvation. In 2025, half of the world’s population will be facing water shortage. The climate crisis will displace 80 million people in sub-Saharan Africa alone.Elizabeth said, “I have been doing what I can. Inspired by the great Wangari Maathai, I founded a tree growing initiative that enhances food security for young Kenyans.” So far, they have grown 30,000 fruit trees to maturity, providing desperately needed nutrition for thousands of children. “Every day we see that when we look after the trees, they look after us. We are the adults on this Earth right now, and it is our responsibility to ensure that the children have food and water,” she added.4. What is the initiative intended for?A．Making policies. B．Raising money.C．Educating adults. D．Fighting climate change.5. What crisis are Kenyans encountering at present?A．Hunger. B．Sickness C．Water shortage. D．Economic risks.6.

Which of the following can best describe Elizabeth Wathuti?A．Friendly and talented. B．Caring and responsible.C．Honest and determined. D．Ambitious and humorous. Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have demonstrated a more effective way to support learning and increase engagement. They used artificial intelligence to create a new genre of interactive, hands-on exhibits that includes an intelligent, virtual assistant to interact with visitors. When the researchers compared their intelligent exhibit to a traditional one, they found that the intelligent exhibit increased learning and the tim e spent at the exhibit. “Having artificial intelligence and computer vision turned the play into learning,” said Nesra Yannier, head of the project, who called the results “purposeful play.”Earthquake tables are popular exhibits. In a typical example, kids build towers and then watch them tumble on a shaking table. Signs around the exhibit try to engage kids in thinking about science as they play, but it is not clear how well these work or how often they are even read.Yannier led a team of researchers that built an AI-enhanced earthquake table outfitted with a camera, touchscreen, large display and an intelligent agent, NoRilla, that replaced the signs. NoRilla—a virtual gorilla—interacts with participants, taking them through different challenges and asking questions about why towers did or didn’t fall along the way and helping them make scientific discoveries.The pre-and post-tests and surveys revealed that children learned significantly more from the AI-enhanced intelligent science exhibit compared to the traditional exhibit while having just as much fun. Their experiment at the Science Center also showed that people spent about six minutes at the intelligent exhibit, four times the 90-second average of the traditional one.“This research will have lasting implications for future exhibit experiences at the Science Center,” said Jason Brown, the Henry Buhl Jr. director of the Carnegie Science Center. “Creating hands-on fun and inspirational exhibit experiences that scaffold science, technology, engineering or mathematics learning and discovery is what positions us as one of the most unique museums in the region.”8. What can we learn about AI enhanced intelligent science exhibits?A．They require more action than thinking.B．They’re less interactive an d instructional.C．They’re more like demanding learning activities.D．They increase the time people spent at the exhibits.9. Why did the author mention Earthquake tables?A．To introduce the background of the project.B．To reveal the drawbacks of traditional exhibits.C．To explain how intelligent exhibits help learning.D．To show the strengths and weaknesses of intelligent exhibits.10. Which aspect of the research does the last paragraph focus on?A．Its findings. B．Its principle. C．Its limitations. D．Its significance.11. What’s the best title of the passage?A．Intelligent Exhibits Turn Learning into PlayB．Intelligent Exhibits Replace Traditional OnesC．A New Genre of Exhibits Comes into the WorldD．Intelligent Exhibits Help Kids’ Learning and EngagementDo you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that “everyone”thinks the same way? Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is completely tailored to you and your beliefs, reading along without the immediate realization?A social media echo chamber (回声壁) is when one experiences a tailored media experience that leave out opposing viewpoints and differing voices. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube connect groups of like-minded users together based on shared content preferences. As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions. Social media companies therefore rely on algorithms (算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that wi ll keep our attention. The algorithms focus on what we “like”, and “share” to keep feeding content that makes us comfortable.In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone. While this becomes increasingly challenging, there are things we can do. The first step is to beef up your media consumption sources. Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye. Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly fact. Lastly, attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information. By accepting that our media buffet on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.12. What is a result of the social media echo chamber?A．People contact like-minded online users effectively.B．People keep reading for more differing viewpoints.C．People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests.D．People only get information confirming their beliefs.13. What does “beef up”underlined in paragraph 3 mean?A．Track. B．Improve.C．Provide. D．Identify.14. Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber?A．Criticizing fake news on social media.B．Exposing ourselves to opposing voices.C．Researching primary sources of information.D．Accepting our present beliefs and opinions.15. What is the purpose of the text?A．To call on people to use algorithms frequently.B．To ask people not to take in information blindly.C．To promote the use of various social media sites.D．To inform people of new technology developments.Procrastination (拖延)makes people live under constant stress. Making changes will lead to positive results, like relieving stress and increasing the quality of work, family time and joy. But how to? 16◆Acknowledge the need to change.If you’re a master procrastinator, stop making excuses and acknowledge the reasons why procrastination is bad. 17◆Identify and understand your feelings.You may feel fearful about the size of a task, proud of your productivity, and anxious about your time. 18 However, could you break a huge project up into manageable tasks? You might need to say “no” more often to give the proper time and attention to the more important things. You can also set a time limit on your break, maybe 15 to 20 minutes.◆ 19If you find yourself with some free time and you need to convince yourself to start working on a difficult task, follow the five-minute rule. Force yourself to work on a task for just five minutes, with the understanding that you can quit after five minutes if you like. This simple mental trick is usually just to get you started. And it will often turn into much more than five minutes.◆Work on stuff earlier.20 But remember: Just because you start working on som ething doesn’t mean you have to finish.By starting, you get the juices flowing, allowing you to get more done than you anticipated. Additionally, you increase the quality of your work because every time you revise your thing, it gets better.So, remember: Fighting procrastination is a life-long battle, but it’s a winnable one.Five years ago, I left my job to work on a ship. My friends said that working on a ship would_________my career, but I was willing to take the risk._________ for the adventure, I boarded a ship with 2,000 passengers and crew.

2024届湖北省高中名校联盟高三下学期第四次联合测评（三模）英语试题一、阅读理解Top 3 Best Museums in the WorldWhether you are a fine art or historylover, the following three museums are sure to take your breath away.Le Louvre, Paris, FranceA visit to the Louvre and its collections lets visitors discover Western art from the Middle Ages to 1848 as well as a large number of ancient civilizations. The grand palace that houses the museum. which dates back to the late twelfth century, is a true lesson in architecture: from 1200 to 2011, the most innovative architects have in turn built and developed the Louvre.●Official website: Louvre●Highlight: Leonardo da Vinci`s “Mona Lisa.”The British Museum, London, UKThe British Museum in London was founded in 1753 and opened its doors six years later. It was the first national museum to cover all fields of human knowledge, open to visitors from across the world. No other museum is responsible for collections of the same depth and breadth, beauty and significance.●Official website: British Museum●Highlight: the Rosetta Stone.The State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, RussiaThe second-largest art museum in the world, the State Hermitage Museum was founded in 1764(200 years later than The Uffizi Galleries, Florence, Italy), when Empress Catherine the Great acquired an impressive collection of works from the Berlin merchant Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky. Today, the collection of art works contains paintings, sculptures and so on.●Official website: State Hermitage Museum●Highlight: Golden masterpieces from Eurasia.1．When was the British Museum, London, UK opened to the public?A．1564.B．1753.C．1759.D．1848.2．What do the Top 3 best museums have in common?A．They have exhibits from the Middle Ages.B．They feature exhibits from ancient times.C．They have exhibits concerned with kings.D．They have both fine art and history exhibits. 3．Which is the largest art museum but one in the world?A．Le Louvre, Paris, France.B．The State Hermitage Museum, Russia.C．The British Museum, London, UK.D．The Uffizi Galleries, Florence, Italy.Orange chicken, sweet and sour pork, fried rice… Max Burns lists several typical Western-style of Chinese dishes that disappoint him. For a 21-year-old native British young man who spent his first thirteen years in China, those cuisines are far from authentic, but rather a category which is invented to cater to Western preferences.What also upsets Burns is that the view of Chinese food has been subsequently skewed (扭曲). Quite a few Westerners recognize that particular type of fa re as the whole of Chinese cuisine.“They almost have no clue about the extent of Chinese cuisine, about how it varies because people forget how big China is. It is a country that has deserts from one side, jungles and sea from the other side. Each area has its unique style of cooking.” he says.Burns tries to showcase the richness of delicious Chinese dishes by vlogging (拍摄并上传) about making Chinese dishes at home. “Food is probably the most accessible way for everyone to learn an alien culture.” he says.Sometimes, his British friends would join to help. “And quite often, they were shocked by the diversity of Chinese cuisine. They’ve had a long time to figure out that Chinese food is just a lot more complex.” The food adventure has helped Burns grow into an influencer with more than three million of subscribers worldwide today. “So, I can definitely say that I’ve changed some people’s ideas about Chinese food.”Interestingly, when Burns first started vlogging in 2016 directly after moving back to Brighton, England from Beijing, copying Chinese food at home was a then “stupid idea”, as he puts it, because he was never super into cooking. At the time, the videos centered more on explaining aspects of Chinese culture, including movies, snacks, restaurants and more.Looking ahead, Burns has some plans in mind. “I would love to do a travel food show throughout China on TV. Also, I would love to have my. own restaurant in the future. That’s definitely going to happen.”4．When did Max Burns return to Brighton, England according to the text?A．Aged 13.B．Aged 14.C．Aged 16.D．Aged 21.5．How does Max Burns change people’s wrong attitude to the Chinese cuisines?A．Treat them to Chinese dishes.B．Write reports on Chinese cuisines.C．Cook Chinese dishes for them in person.D．Display authentic Chinese cuisines on. 6．What is paragraph 5 of the text mainly about?A．Burns’s ambitions.B．Burns’s achievements.C．Burns’s adventures.D．Burns’s subscribers.7．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Influencer Develops a Taste for Chinese Cuisine.B．Influencer Has Done What He Can to Change.C．Chinese Cuisines Have to Cater to Westerners.D．Chinese Cuisines Have Been Around the World.In Georgia students will be required to build “background knowledge” by reciting all or part of significant poems and speeches. The Arkanses plan calls for students to recite a passage from a well-known poem, play or speech. That’s it: an old-fashioned demand that students memorize the Gettysburg Address or Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” or Gwendolyn Brooks’s We Real Cool and recite it to an audience.Most parents would probably call this a worthy exercise once abandoned for long, gathering the courage to speak in public and firing the adolescent imagination. Who could object to store memorable words in teenage heads otherwise packed with short videos?English teachers, that’s who. Modern educators view memorization as empty repetition, mechanical and prescriptive (规定的) rather than creative or thoughtful. Reciting texts from memory, they say, merely drops information into students’ minds. It’s repetitive learning instead of critical analysis.That’s wrong. Recitation allows students to experience a text as a living thing, ready to betaken up by a new generation. Committing a poem or speech to memory means stepping into the author’s shoes and pondering what he meant. Deciding which words to stress when reciting means thinking about what those words mean.In our age of social media and artificial intelligence, the practice of recitation has never been more needed. Memorizing classic words reminds us that they are alive.Watch the faces of parents as they listen to their children urging us all toward what Martin Luther King called “a dream deeply rooted in the American dream,” or saying with Robert Frost, “I have been one acquainted with the night,” or with Shakespeare, “Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...”When young reciters return to their seats, they know they have made ageless words their own. What parents and students feel at that moment transcends (超越) a good grade. For a few minutes, hardworking teens become King, Frost or Shakespeare.8．Why are educators against storing memorable words in teenage heads?A．Memorization is nothing but thoughtful learning.B．Memorization is anything but repetitive learning.C．Memorization does injure teenagers’ heads.D．Memorization does no good to critical analysis.9．What is the author’s attitude toward recitation?A．Supportive.B．Objective.C．Opposed.D．Unclear.10．What does the underlined word “pondering” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Learning from.B．Reflecting on.C．Bringing out.D．Arguing against.11．How does the author stress the importance of recitation in the social media and AI times?A．By giving examples.B．By analyzing causes.C．By displaying methods.D．By listing figures.Adults check their phones, on average, 360 times a day, and spend almost three hours a day on their devices in total. The problem for many of us is that one quick phone-related task leads to a quick check of our emails or social media feeds, and suddenly we’ve been sucked into endlessscrolling.It’s an awful circle. The more useful our phones become, the more we use them. The more we use them, the more we lay neural (神经的) pathways in our brains that lead to pick up our phones for whatever task is at hand-and the more we feel an urge to check our phones even when we don’t have to.What we do know is that the simple distraction of checking a phone or seeing a notification (通知) can have negative consequences. This isn’t very surprising; we know that, in general, multitasking does harm to memory and performance. One of the most dangerous examples is phone use while driving. One study found that merely speaking on the phone, not texting, was enough to make drivers slower to react on the road. It’s true for everyday tasks that are less high-risk, too. Simply hearing a notification “ding” made participants of another study perform far worse on a task-almost as badly as participants who were speaking or texting on the phone during the task.It isn’t just the use of a phone that has consequences-its mere presence can affect the way we think.In one recent study, for example, researchers asked participants to either put their phones next to them so they were visible (like on a desk), nearby and out of sight (like in a bag or pocket), or in another room. They were found to perform far better when their phones were in another room instead of nearby-whether visible, powered on or not.12．What is the frequency, on average, for phone users to check their phones?A．Once every 3 minutes.B．Once every 4 minutes.C．Once every 5 minutes.D．Once every 6 minutes.13．What causes phone users’ endless scrolling?A．The curiosity for friends’ latest behaviors.B．The responsibility for the online safety.C．The desire for emails or social media information.D．The information for ensuring personal development.14．What can we infer from paragraph 3?A．Simple distraction results in car accidents.B．Multitasking does no harm to intelligence.C．A notification “ding” can disturb our work.D．Answering a phone scarcely affects the driver.15．Why is an experiment conducted in the last paragraph?A．To clarify multitasking does harm to memory and performance.B．To draw a conclusion that we shouldn’t use phones much.C．To prove that it’s dangerous to check phone s while driving.D．To demonstrate the presence of a phone impacts our thinking.Strategies to Overcome Self-Doubt Once and For AllBeing self-confident is not easy and not everyone can do it, but it doesn’t need to be that difficult. 16Going through life can be very challenging at times. When we were young, no one told us how hard it will be in the future but here we are. 17 And it is unpleasing and can kill your confidence levels if not controlled from the beginning.We will all experience some self-doubt, which is natural. 18 It happens to us during normal days or whenever we are going to start a new job, a new task, or a new relationship, anything new in life will make you self-doubt. This sort of feeling puts you into dark days when nothing seems to go right and you might feel like giving up, and that is the time to be strong.19 Self-doubt is when you are unsure about one or more aspects of yourself. For example, when starting a new job, you might feel inexperienced or might think that you are not fit enough for the job, and this is a prime example of self-doubt.20 Low-level of self-criticism is actually good for you. It motivates you and pushes you to be better in life, to become greater than yesterday. This type of feeling will push you to work harder and faster than before and will also increase your productivity, but it should be a low level of self-criticism. You don’t want to punish yourself over things that are beyond your control. A．We needn’t take it seriously.B．It’s impossible for us to deal with it.C．One of the big problems of adult life is having self-doubt.D．Self-doubt isn’t all that bad, let us tell you why.E．Let’s explore to find ways to remove self-doubt forever.F．It will take long for us to solve this problem.G．There are some people mistaking self-doubt for something else.二、完形填空One teacher had two students. One of them had a positive vision while the other had the 21 one.One day, the teacher 22 for a park with both the students and while wandering in the garden, they 23 a mango tree from which some ripe and juicy mangoes were 24 . On seeing this, the teacher thought to 25 both of his students. Then, he asked the first one, “My dear child, what do you think of this mango tree?”The student answered instantly, “Teacher, in spite of people 26 this tree with stones, it gives us sweet and juicy mangoes. It does 27 but still it gives us fruits. I wish all human beings learn this important 28 from the mango tree—to share their 29 even if they have to suffer for this.”After that, the teacher asked the other student the same question. The student 30 answered, “Teacher, this mango tree is no good and will not give mangoes by itself but only when we hit it with stones and 31 . Therefore, we should hit it hard to get sweet mangoes from it. That is the only way to 32 these mangoes. It is also clear from this tree that in order to get good 33 from others, we need to be violent and only when we become violent, then and only then will we get 34 .”The teacher was delighted with the answer given by the first student because he had an admirable vision and 35 the tree with positive vision.21．A．personal B．passionate C．opposite D．subjective 22．A．asked B．made C．called D．cared23．A．cut down B．brought up C．took out D．came across 24．A．hanging B．dropping C．floating D．rolling 25．A．criticize B．test C．admire D．praise 26．A．defending B．striking C．destroying D．abandoning 27．A．hurt B．grow C．bounce D．bend28．A．technique B．riddle C．message D．tradition 29．A．characters B．experiences C．stories D．belongings 30．A．randomly B．deliberately C．aggressively D．cautiously 31．A．guns B．knives C．missiles D．sticks 32．A．consume B．attain C．promote D．purchase 33．A．remarks B．tools C．fruits D．treatments 34．A．happiness B．knowledge C．confidence D．capacity 35．A．sympathized B．protected C．researched D．appreciated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。

A Are you looking for something to do? You might like to try one of these four experiences.Crocodile watching Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the “Cage of Death”. It’s an enclosure th at’s lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as it’s being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they’ve fixed it since then. EdgeWalk How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall. The EdgeWalk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the tower’s restaurant roof. During the walk, you’re encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto’s skyline(轮廓线).Plastic ball rollingDo you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball? Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb (球) is about 3 meters in diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 meters. There’s no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock.Volcano bungee jumping If you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarrica volcano, one of the most active in Chile. Once you ’re at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally, you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph.Attracted by the above? If so, please contact us. Only half price from March 22 to April 25th For more information, please click here.1. According to the passage, there was an accident o nce when people _____.A. jumped into the Villarrica volcanoB. walked along the platform of the CN TowerC. rolled down a hill in a plastic ball in RotoruaD. watched crocodiles in the “Cage of Death” in Darwin2. Which of the following was first invented in New Zealand?A. EdgeWalk.B. Crocodile watching.C. Plastic ball rolling.D. Volcano bungee jumping.3. It can be inferred that all the four experiences are ______.A. interesting sportsB. exciting and extremeC. held on high placesD. fit for middle to old peopleBIf you want a little extra security against thieves stealing your bicycle, designer Dennis Siegel has designed a solution. The RFID Bikealarm is attached to the seat on a bicycle and gives off an alarm when it senses movement.“The RFID Bikealarm is meant to be a useful add-on to mechanical bicycle locks because it greatly extends the range of protection with only a few components,” Siegel explains on his website. “It is low-cost, durable and easy to use.”The Bikealarm was designed as part of Siegel’s Bachelor’s degreethesis at the University of the Arts Bremen in Germany. The device will scare off any would-be thieves the moment they begin to steal the bicycle to which it is attached. It is able to continuously sense the environment to distinguish between specific events, for instance a passing tram / car and a serious theft.Siegel created a working model of an alarm that would sound when it sensed movement, but wasn’t initially sure how it would be best attached to a bicycle. “I decided to mount it to the rails of the seat because it allows for comfortable interaction and the position is less obvious as it looks like a small repair kit,” he says.Siegel chose to use RFID technology rather than Bluetooth to keep the costs down. Siegel explains that the most difficult aspect of creating the alarm was to get the electronic circuit down to a small enough size.The device runs off a kind of battery that can be charged by USB within 2 hours and lasts for a few days with normal use. As the Bikealarm is only at development stage, Siegel hasn’t signed any agreements to put it on the market.4. When it senses movement, the RFID Bikealarm will _____.A. make a warning soundB. fasten the bicycle tightlyC. shake the bicycle quicklyD. call the police automatically5. Which of the following shows the right position of the RFID Bikealarm on a bicycle?6. What do we know about the RFID Bikealarm? A. It can’t tell between specif ic events. B. It is very difficult to use. C. It uses a kind of battery for power. D. It depends on Bluetooth technology.7. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that ______. A. the electronic circuit is a little larger B. i t’s very easy to make a Bikealarm C. it costs too much at present D. not many Bikealarms are producedC One afternoon, after finishing shopping in a supermarket, my family and I went to the checkout. I suddenly thought we didn’t need any of the junk, and we abandoned all of those, saving $300. That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life. With a promise that we’d stop if it was killing us, I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality(节俭). The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolutely essentials. Our adventure began with a great start. By 9 a.m., my wife, Ruth, had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn’t even know we had in the garden. I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years. I read and returned the neighbor’s newspaper before he woke up. Total spending on the first day: $0.As days turned into weeks, we became so proficient （熟练的）at living frugally. We started riding our bikes to save gas. My child’s fingerpainting was recycled as gift wrap for the homemade presents. We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs.In the end, we saved more than $2000 by not spending for a month. When we began, I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buya lot of things in the supermarket, then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies. 8. We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon, the family _________.A. had had higher incomeB. had had a good habit of saving moneyC. had often spent money without thinking muchD. hadn’t realized they would have met financial problems9. How many things were mentioned about the things the family did to save on the first day of the “30 days”?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five10. The end of the story tells the readers that the family _________.A. stopped halfwayB. couldn’t stand the life of frugalityC. would make up for missing the junk after the “30 days”D. succeeded in saving in the end11. This passage is mainly about _________.A. how a family managed their daily lifeB. a family’s no-buying tryC. a family’s way of solving life problemsD. how a new idea came upDNot all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of t he Atlantic.When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot restTo the east must thunder on Where the bright tree of the sun Is rooted in the ocean’s breast.As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise-it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath-perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.12. Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is __________.A. always energeticB. lacking in livelinessC. shaped like a squareD. favored by ancient poets13. What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?A. To describe the movement of the waves.B. To show the strength of the storm.C. To represent the power of the ocean.D. To prove the vastness of the sea.14. What doe s the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?A. Living together.B. Growing fast.C. Moving harmoniously.D. Breathing peacefully.15. In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to __________.A. a beautiful and poetic placeB. a flesh and blood personC. a wonderful worldD. a lovely animal第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 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。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.OpenAI publishes Elon Musk’s emails. ‘We’re sad that it’s come to this’OpenAI fired back at Elon Musk, who sued the ChatGPT company last week for chasing profit and 1 (diverge) from its original, nonprofit mission. Tuesday night, OpenAI published several of Musk’s emails from the early days of the company that appear to show Musk acknowledging OpenAI needed to make a ton of money to fund the incredible computing resources needed to power 2 AI ambitions.In the emails, parts of 3 have been redacted (修订), Musk argues that the company stood virtually no chance of building a successful generative AI platform by raising cash alone, and the company needed to find alternate sources of revenue to survive.In a November 22, 2015, email to CEO Sam Altman, Musk, an OpenAI co-founder, said the company needed to raise much more than $100 million to “avoid sounding hopeless.” Musk suggested a $1 billion funding commitment and promised that he would cover 4 did not get raised.OpenAI in a blog post Tuesday night said Musk never followed through on his promise, 5 (commit) $45 million in funding for OpenAI, 6 other donors raised $90 million. Lawyers for Musk declined to comment on OpenAI’s claims.Musk, in a February 1, 2018, email, told company executives that the only path forward for OpenAI was for Tesla, his electric car company, to buy it. The company refused, and Musk left OpenAI later that year.In December 2018, Musk emailed Altman and other executives that OpenAI would not be relevant “ 7 a dramatic change in execution and resources.”“This needs billions per year immediately or forget it,” Musk emailed. “I really hope I’m wrong.”OpenAI executives agreed. In 2019, they formed OpenAI LP, a for-profit entity that exists within the larger company’s structure. That for-profit company took OpenAI from effectively worthless to a valuation of $90 billion in just a few years — and Altman 8 (credit) as the mastermind of that plan and the key to the company’s success.Microsoft has since committed $13 billion in a close partnership with OpenAI.Musk’s complaint, 9 (file) last week in California state court, said that company and its partnership with Microsoft violated OpenAI’s founding charter, representing a breach of contract. Musk is asking for a jury trial and for the company 10 (pay) back the profit they received from the business.二、选词填空Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A man deliberately got 217 Covid shots. Here’s what happenedOne German man has redefined “man on a mission.” A 62-year-old from Magdeburg deliberately got 217 Covid-19 vaccine shots in the 11 of 29 months, according to a new study, going against national vaccine recommendations. That’s an average of one jab every four days. In the process, he became a(n) 12 experiment for what happens to the immune system when it is vaccinated against the same pathogen (病原体) repeatedly. A correspondence published Monday in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases 13 his case and concluded that while his “hypervaccination” did not result in any adverse health effects, it also did not significantly improve or worsen his immune response.The man, who is not named in the correspondence in compliance with German privacy rules, reported receiving 217 Covid shots between June 2021 and November 2023. Of those, 134 were 14 by a prosecutor and through vaccination center documentation; the remaining 83 were self-reported, according to the study.“This is a really unusual case of someone receiving that many Covid vaccines, 15 not following any type of guidelines,” said Dr. Emily Happy Miller, an assistant professor of medicine and of microbiology and immunology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine who did not participate in the research.The man did not report any vaccine-related side effects and has not had a Covid infection to date, as 16 by repeated antigen (抗原) and PCR testing between May 2022 and November 2023. The researchers 17 that it’s not clear that his Covid status is directly because of his hypervaccination regimen.“Perhaps he didn’t get Covid because he was 18 in the first three doses of the vaccine,” Miller said. “We also don’t know anything about his behaviors.” Dr. Kilian Schober, senior author of the new study and a researcher at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg, said it is important to remember that this is an individual case study, and the results are not 19 .The researchers also say they do not endorse hypervaccination as a strategy to enhance immunity. “The benefit is not much bigger if you get vaccinated three times or 200 times,” Schober said.The public prosecutor in Magdeburg opened an investigation into the man for the unauthorized issuing of vaccination cards and forgery of documents but did not end up filing criminal 20 , according to the study.三、完形填空A Neurologist’s Tips to Protect Your MemoryAs we age, our memory declines. This is a fixed 21 for many of us; however, according to neuroscientist Dr. Richard Restak, a neurologist and clinical professor, decline is not 22 .Ultimately, “we are what we can remember,” he said. Here are some of Dr. Restak’s tips for developing and 23 a healthy memory.Pay more attention.Some memory lapses are actually attention problems, not memory problems. 24 , if you’ve forgotten the name of someone you met at a cocktail party, it could be because you weretalking with several people at the time.One way to pay attention when you learn new information is to 25 the word. Having a picture associated with the word, Restak said, can improve 26 . Find regular everyday memory challenges.There are many memory exercises that you can 27 into everyday life. Dr. Restak suggested composing a grocery list and memorizing it. When you get to the store, don’t 28 pull out your list (or your phone) — instead, pick up everything according to your memory.Once in a while, get in the car without turning on your GPS, and try to 29 through the streets from memory. A small 2020 study suggested that people who used GPS more frequently over time showed a steeper cognitive 30 in spatial memory three years later.Play games.Dr. Restak’s “favorite working memory game” is 20 Questions — in which a group thinks of a person, place or object, and the other person, the questioner, asks 20 questions with a yes-or-no answer. Because to succeed, he said, the questioner must hold all of the 31 answers in memory in order to guess the correct answer.The point is to 32 your working memory, “maintaining information and moving it around in your mind,” Restak wrote.Read more novels.One early indicator of memory issues, according to Dr. Restak, is 33 fiction. “People, when they begin to have memory difficulties, tend to switch to reading nonfiction,” he said. Fiction requires active engagement with the text, starting at the beginning and working through to the end. 34 technology.Storing everything on your phone means that “you don’t know it,” Dr. Restak said, which can 35 our own mental abilities. The second way our relationship with technology is harmful to memory is because it often takes our focus away from the task at hand. 21．A．accomplishment B．assumption C．regulationD．observation22．A．inevitable B．dispensable C．reverse D．doubtful 23．A．striking B．enduring C．arousing D．maintaining 24．A．Nevertheless B．Moreover C．For instance D．Instead 25．A．demonstrate B．trace C．discover D．visualize26．A．recall B．sight C．target D．instinct 27．A．enclose B．integrate C．evolve D．impose 28．A．steadily B．actively C．gradually D．automatically 29．A．adjust B．rush C．gesture D．navigate 30．A．performance B．decline C．awareness D．increase 31．A．modest B．original C．previous D．personal 32．A．engage B．drain C．insert D．fulfill 33．A．devoting to B．concentrating on C．giving in to D．giving up on 34．A．Beware of B．Stick to C．Long for D．Differ from 35．A．counter B．stock C．erode D．strengthen四、阅读理解The last few months had brought to my attention an important incompatibility between us — one that I’d never noticed before. Despite being a pair of lifelong travelers, Felipe and I seldom travel in a similar way. The reality about Felipe is that he’s both the best traveler I’ve ever met and by far the worst. He hates strange bathrooms and dirty restaurants and uncomfortable trains and foreign beds. Given a choice, he will always select a lifestyle of routine, familiarity, and reassuringly boring everyday practices. All of which might make you assume that the man is not fit to be a traveler at all. But you would be wrong to assume that, for here is Felipe’s traveling gift, his superpower, the secret weapon that makes him peerless. He can create a familiar habitat of boring everyday practices for himself anyplace, if you just let him stay in one spot. He can assimilate absolutely anywhere on the planet in about three days, and then he’s capable of staying put in that place for the next decade or so without complaint. This is why Felipe has been able to live all over the world. Not merely travel, but live. Over the year he has folded himself into societies from South America to Europe, from the Middle East to the South Pacific. He arrives somewhere totally new, decides he likes the place, moves right in, learns the language, and instantly becomes a local.While Felipe can find a corner anywhere in the world and settle down for good, I can’t. I am infinitely curious and almost infinitely patient with minor disasters, which makes me a farbetter day-to-day traveler than he will ever be. So I can go anywhere on the planet—that’s not a problem. The problem is I just can’t live anywhere on the planet. I’d realized this only a few weeks earlier, back in northern Laos, when Felipe had woken up one lovely morning in Luang Prabang and said, “Darling, let’s stay here.”“Sure,” I’d said. “We can stay here for a few more days if you want.”“No, I mean let’s move here. Let’s forget about me immigrating to America. It’s too much trouble. This is a wonderful town. I like the feeling of it. It reminds me of Brazil thirty years ago. It wouldn’t take much money or effort for us to run a little hotel or shop here, rent an apartment, settle in ….” He was serious. He would just do that. But I can’t.36．The word “incompatibility” (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to “_____”.A．harmony B．negotiation C．difference D．tension 37．According to the writer, what is Felipe’s traveling gift?A．He can speak dozens of languages.B．He can make himself at home anywhere.C．He can decide at first sight if he likes the place.D．He can find interesting activities in boring places.38．According to the writer, why is she a better traveler than Felipe?A．She is much more restless than he is.B．She can travel for a longer time than he can.C．She is more curious about local life than he is.D．She can live better in poor places than he can.39．By “I can’t” (in the last paragraph), the writer means that she can’t _____.A．remember the trip to Brazil B．move to Luang PrabangC．immigrate to America as planned D．run a little hotel or shop wellOutdoor RecreationGet outdoors with us this summer and experience the excitement and peace within our unique programs.

Music, drama, dance, visual arts, poetry and literature are among the most precious human achievements. To live in a country in which these are more widely shared and enjoyed would be proof that we are making progress. The point is not to entertain or educate people, or bring communities together. Nor is it all about boosting jobs and investment. Imagination has intrinsic (内在的) value, and research carried out by ACE in the course of preparing its 10-year strategy showed that people from all walks of life value and get pleasure from cultural activities.Positioning itself as a development agency, ACE will now hope to win government backing for a change of direction that orients it away from the biggest and most prestigious national institutions and towards the towns, villages and grassroots organizations that should be similarly deserving of attention. There, it envisions a role for itself “building the identity and prosperity of places,” bringing professional artists together with voluntary groups, particular in areas that have previously not been well represented on the cultural map.ACE’s chair, Sir Nicholas Serota, quotes the first world war centenary (百年纪念) project devised by the artist, Jeremy Deller, and theatre director, Rufus Norris, as the model of what he wants his organization to be about. By dressing up volunteers as soldiers, and orchestrating their encounters with members of the public in settings across England, the artists succeeded in “dissolving the barriers between artists and audiences.”The emphasis on participation- on culture as something that more people should actually do- is newer. This is the difference between being in a play or a band and buying tickets to watch them, and for ACE to play a more active role in promoting the former would be beneficial. Thisbegins in childhood, and ACE clearly hopes that the government will think again about policies that have seen music, drama and other arts subjects systematically downgraded in favour of science, technology and maths.To what extent the vision is realized will depend in part on whether ACE’s ambitions catch the government’s interest sufficiently to influence the upcoming spending review, and provide a counterweight to the scorn (轻视) that is regularly poured on the humanities. Around £400m has been cut from local government arts budgets since 2010, and ACE cannot plug this gap. The closure of youth clubs and live music venues, and growing financial pressures linked to the property market, are among other reasons for this worrisome narrowing of opportunities. So far Boris Johnson has offered few signs that he has in mind a starring role for the arts in post-Brexit Britain, although 2022’s Festival of Brexit is one such event. ACE’s plan should boost the profile of all those, in government and outside, who are arguing for more.43．The purpose of making arts available to more people is to __________.A．enlighten people from all walks of lifeB．consolidate various communitiesC．create job opportunities for artistsD．maximize the natural value of art44．According to the passage, ACE is most likely to promote the arts of ___________.A．national institutionsB．commercial centersC．local governmentsD．towns and villages45．Which of the following statements would Sir Nicholas Serota most probably agree with?A．Audiences with little education can also gain pleasure from cultural activities.B．Artists and audiences can create and enjoy the arts together without barriers.C．The soldiers and volunteers should vividly show scenes about the First World War.D．Science, technology and maths are more important than humanities and arts nowadays. 46．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．For the arts to get revitalized more extensive efforts are needed.B．The current British government has done enough to promote arts.C．ACE should narrow the financial gap left by the local government.D．Many performing venues have closed due to the rising property market.Directions: Read the following passage. 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.What Your “Age” Says About YouImagine, for a moment, that you had no birth certificate and your age was simply based on the way you feel inside. How old would you say you are?Like your height or shoe size, the number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact. 47Scientists are increasingly interested in this quality. They are finding that our “subjective age” may be essential for understanding the reasons why some people appear to be energetic as they grow old — while others fade.48 It is now well accepted that people tend to mature as they get older, becoming less extroverted ( 外向的) and less open to new experiences. These personality changes are often considered more obvious in the people with older subjective ages.However, those who feel younger than they really are also become more reliable and less neurotic ( 神经质的) as they gain the wisdom that comes with greater life experience. But it doesn’t come at the cost of the energy and vigor of youth. It’s not true that having a lower subjective age leaves us frozen in a state of permanent immaturity.Feeling younger than your years also seems to come with a lower risk of depression and greater mental wellbeing as we age. 49 Most people felt about eight years younger than their actual chronological age (实际年龄). But some felt they had aged — and the consequences were serious. Feeling between 8 and 13 years older than your actual age resulted in an 18-25% greater risk of death over the study periods, and greater disease burden — even when you control for other demographic ( 人口学的) factors such as education, race or marital status.50 However old you really are, it’s worth questioning whether any of those limitations are coming from the within.A．It also means better physical health.B．One of the most interesting aspects of the research has explored how subjective age interacts with our personality.C．Some studies have explored the potential physical consequences of this difference. D．These findings can give us all a view of the way our own brains and bodies endure the passing of time.E．But everyday experience suggests that people often don’t experience ageing the same way. F．Many researchers are now trying to study how this knowledge might help us live longer.五、书面表达51．Directions: 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.What We Should Know about HoneyThe process that produces honey may have helped form humans too. Scientists believe that wild hives full of honey provided the calories that early humans such as Homo erectus (直立人), walking in Africa , needed to develop their brains into those of modern humans. That puts honey in a class with fire, tool use, and hunting as a key ingredient in the evolution of human beings.With time, those evolved brains learned to domesticate bees to produce honey in a farmed setting. Today’s beekeepers support large-scale industrial farms, which would be unable to grow their crops without hiring traveling groups of bees to come pollinate (授粉) their vast, single-species fields. The bees will endlessly fill the towers of combs put onto their hives by the beekeeper, who then collects the extra honey for human consumption while still leaving the bees all they need to eat.Today, the average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of honey every year, in tea, on toast, and beyond. Honey is a timeless treasure. Literally—it never goes bad. Samples nearly 3,000 years old found in the Egyptian pyramids are as eatable as the day they were entombed. Its anti-microbial nature also makes honey an excellent cure for wounds, keeping infection out while holding in the moisture that skin needs to heal.However, bees’ good health is not guaranteed. U.S. beekeepers lose about 40 percent of their hives annually to colony collapse disorder. The problem lies in the growth of industrialagriculture and pesticide use, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit. If bees continue to die, apples and peaches (along with any crop that relies on their pollination) will become scarcer and pricier. As will honey._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________六、翻译52．在成人仪式上，读了父母的肺腑之言后他情不自禁潸然泪下。

But for some Americans, the unforgiving economic pain typical during recession has already set in.Al Brown and his wife faced a tough call in May when reviewing their weekly budget: what’s a higher priority, more food or dish soap? Based in Concord, North Carolina, Brown was the main breadwinner for his wife and their two children. Then in April, he was let go from his job as a global director of business development at software company Cascade. He’s since quit his gym membership and sold various items around his home, including a computer and yard furniture. His 13-year-old son quit the basketball team.Brown, 37, now spends his days searching the internet for jobs or reaching out to potential connections. After filing over 600 applications, only a handful have produced interviews. That’s a far cry from the labor-market strength described in government figures.Investors and economists have been expecting a recession since last year as the Fed raised interest rates to control inflation (通货膨胀). That caused companies to focus on profitability overgrowth, which meant cutting spending and reducing their workforces.“I think it’s unlikely that I will get another good paying job with great benefits like the one I had,” McCollum, who lives in Cleveland, Ohio, said. More Americans are likely to encounter similar cases, some experts predict.“As we go through this year, and into next year, there is still going to be this focus on trying to reduce costs, and it is going to result in more unemployment,” said Thomas Simons, a senior economist at Jefferies. “The impact of layoffs, currently concentrated among white-collar workers, will last throughout the economy through a ‘big pullback in overall spending’,” Simons said. “Consumer spending accounts for about two-thirds of economic output, so if more Americans are forced to cut back because they were laid off, that might throw the US economy into a recession.”4．What are some Americans currently going through?A．They can’t afford necessities of life.B．They’ve lost interest in high-end gyms.C．They are badly treated by their bosses.D．They have difficulty making ends meet. 5．What does the author want to demonstrate through Brown’s job hunting?A．One should try various ways to find a job.B．American labor market is not that friendly to job-seekers.C．Few companies are interested in middle-aged job-hunters.D．The government provides accurate figures of the job market.6．How do companies deal with the economic struggles?A．By employing more workers.B．By changing interest rates.C．By giving priority to profits.D．By cutting employees’ allowances. 7．Which statement will Thomas Simons probably agree with?A．Laid-off workers tend to go into debt.B．Lower consumption may worsen the current situation.C．Americans will spend more to increase economic output.D．Companies are to blame for the unemployment of white-collar workers.What’s your first memory? Whatever it is, you’re bound to treasure it. But can we actually trust them? Nothing about memory is simple. Memory is malleable. What we remember is not necessarily what happened. A memory is not a recording. It’s more like a dramatic reconstructionand one that we can keep changing without realizing it.For any experience to be remembered, it has to be encoded (编码). This encoding is not any kind of direct translation, though. It’s a rich and complex process that creates associations and meanings. We might be remembering something very similar, but slightly changed and colored by our own sets of associations.Psychologist Elizabeth Loftus produced groundbreaking research on eyewitness testimony (证据). Her work showed that memories can easily be influenced, even after they’ve been created. For example, if two eyewitnesses talk with each other, their memories of events often change, absorbing what they’ve heard from the other one — but they won’t realize this has happened. Similarly, witnesses who are shown an image of an innocent person, can sometimes stick it onto their memory of the actual event — a process known as unconscious transference (无意识的转移). It is estimated that around 70% of wrongful convictions (定罪), later overturned by DNA evidence, are due to mistaken eyewitness testimony.In some cases, memories can even be deliberately created and implanted. The Lost in the Mall experiment took a test group of subjects and talked to them in depth about key childhood memories while also adding an invented one — the experience of having been lost in a shopping center. It was found that between a quarter and a third of subjects not only accepted this new memory as genuine but enriched it with specific details.Most of us have certain key memories of being a very young child. But research suggests that they’re highly unlikely to be actual memories due to the way memory is stored in the baby brain. Your precious first memory may well not be a real memory, and we’re all perhaps living in our imaginations more than we realize.8．What does the underlined word “malleable” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Trustworthy.B．False.C．Easily changed.D．Deeply impressive. 9．Which will influence the memory of eyewitnesses?A．Powerful DNA evidence.B．Pictures stuck in their memory.C．Reduced accuracy of convictions.D．Exchanged information between them. 10．What can we learn about “The Lost in the Mall” experiment?A．It was designed to investigate mistaken eyewitness testimony.B．Its subjects could recall specific details of a shopping center.C．Its subjects made believe that they had been lost in a shopping center.D．It demonstrated that invented experiences could be fixed in one’s memory.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．The Unreliable Nature of Memory.B．Revised Eyewitness Testimony.C．Reflection on Sweet Childhood.D．An Exploration of Truth and Fiction.It took an ill screech owl (鸣角鸮) to teach a scientist the value of up-close-and-personal study.In his Harvad talk, Carl Safina, an ecologist and author of Alfie and Me: What Owls Know, What Humans Believe, recalled that the chick was found dying in his backyard. Safina took it in and planned to nurse it back to health and then perform release. But the owlet's flight feathers didn't grow properly. Safina delayed the release. Over those extended months, Safina got to know Alfie in ways that moved and changed him.“An owl found me and then I was watching ‘an owl’,” he said. “It was no longer an owl after a while, it was ‘she’ because she had a history with me. This little owl, who was with me much longer than I thought she would be, became an individual to me by that history and all those interactions.”The bond with Alfie strengthened to the point that, when she was finally released, she created a territory with Safina's home at its center. Safina was able to spend hours each day observing her in the woods as she learned to take care of herself in the wild, met two mates, and raised chicks of her own.When he heard Alfie calling, Safina said, he'd call back and she'd land nearby. Their closeness allowed him to learn more things about screech owls. Field guides, for example, describe two known calls but he identified six, some of which you have to be quite close to hear. The relationship also opened a window for Safina onto personality differences between Alfie and her mates.When pointed out that his approach to Alfie—including the act of naming her—ran counter to widespread scientific practice, Safina said he wasn't concerned about violating (违反) convention, particularly if something interesting like individual personality differences among owls could be learned.The experience caused Safina to think more deeply about humankind's relationship with nature and the kind of personal connection he was able to feel with a wild individual. “What I learned from Alfie is that all sentient (有情感的) beings seek a feeling of well-being and freedom of movement,” Safina said. “That's a guide to what's right and what's wrong to me.”12．What do we know about Alfie?A．She developed a close bond with Safina.B．She was a fictional character in Safina's book.C．She intentionally landed in Safina's backyard.D．She was dying because of the broken flight feathers.13．What happened after Safina released Alfie?A．Alfie chose to stay with Safina at his home.B．They maintained a continous communication.C．Alfie met mates and raised chicks by herself.D．Safina kept his distance from her to prevent attachment.14．What did Safina achieve in his study?A．Recording six different calls of the screech owl.B．Identifying different types of owls by their calls.C．Learning how to release owls back into the wild.D．Understanding personality differences among owls.15．How did Safina's experience with Alfie impact him?A．He became more focused on exploring nature.B．He initiated his commitment to wildlife conservation.C．He developed a deep appreciation for the welfare of living creatures.D．He decided to guide readers to distinguish between right and wrong.Who can imagine life today without an Automated Teller Machine (ATM)? They are available in considerable numbers throughout the world.The first ATM was the brainchild of an enterprising Turkish-American inventor Luther George Simjian. When the idea of an automated banking machine struck him, he registered 20 patents before any bank agreed to give it a trial run. It is easy to assume that the inventor of such apopular machine was laughing all the way to the bank. 16 Within six months of its operation in New York in 1939, the device was removed due to lack of customer acceptance.It was not until 1967, nearly 30 years later, that Barclays Bank, in a careful launch, rolled out a self-service machine in London, England, which proved successful. 17 The first cash machine relied on customers’ use of prepaid tokens (代币) to get envelopes with a fixed amount of cash inside.18 The banks’ principle was seemingly customer service. But it would be foolish to minimize the many advantages that cash machines provided to the banks themselves. By the late 1970s, the highest fixed cost for the average large bank was its branches. The greatest variable cost and loss to profits were its staff. Bank accounts swiftly recognized that self-service operations could reduce bank branch staff cost by70 percent.Experts quickly determined that public acceptance of ATMs counted on convenience, simplicity, speed, security and trust. 19 For maximum efficiency, ATMs had to be located near public transport or in a shopping mall, not at a branch. The busier and more crowded the location, obviously, the better. Now, roughly 75 percent of all cash provided by banks to their customers comes from cash machines. 20 .Public acceptance of deposits (存款) by machine was significantly slower than customers’ usage of ATMs for withdrawals. In general, it seems that customers sometimes still prefer and trust an over-the-counter transaction (交易) for deposits.A．Location, in particular, was a key factor.B．His cash machine, however, didn’t prove durable.C．The device was relatively primitive, at least by today’s standards.D．However, cash machines posed some interesting, unanswered questions.E．An interesting factor was the issue of bio-statistics for customer identification.F．Devices originally dismissed by the public are now recognized as essential institutions. G．Soon afterwards, many other banks became admittedly champions of the cash machine.二、完形填空My friendship with the students in a primary school in Uganda started on a shaky ground.The 21 of not being understood was hidden within, for they spoke a language different from that of mine and mine too fell on 22 ears.I greeted them with a broad smile, and they replied with ice cold 23 when I spoke further.

The opening ceremony for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games was held at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo on July 23, 2021 after a year of waiting due to the pandemic. Let's take a look at the highlights which make this opening ceremony unique.No spectatorsThere are no spectators during the opening ceremony in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infections. About 950 people, including officials and journalists, will watch in the main stadium, organizers said. Fewer athletes are expected to attend the ceremony because many are not allowed to stay for the entire Games due to COVID-19 restrictions.Male and female flag-bearersThe International Olympic Committee has actively encouraged all delegations toselect two flag-bearers at the opening ceremony, including one woman, as women's participation in the Tokyo Games reaches 48.8 percent, making it the most gender-balanced Olympics in the history of the event.Oath (宣誓) session updatedOne of the most symbolic parts of the opening ceremony—the Olympic oath—has been significantly adapted in order to “highlight the importance of solidarity, inclusion, non-discrimination and equality”. The number of oath-takers is also extended from three to six—two athletes, two coaches and two judges.Simplified ceremonyIn the 30-second video showing the rehearsal of the opening ceremony released to the public, the performances are integrated with dances, scenery and other display elements used in Japanese traditional festival activities.In order to prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic and manage the cost, the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee said that the performances of the ceremony will be greatly simplified, with more light and shadow technology used instead of real decorations at the scene.1.Why isn't there any spectator during the opening ceremony?A.To limit the number of people present.B.To highlight the spirit of the Olympic Games.C.To control the spread of an infectious disease.D.To make room for the athletes all over the world.2.Why is each delegation encouraged to select one woman as a flag-bearer in Tokyo Olympics?A.Women will be in a leading position in sports.B.Women athletes make up a larger percentage than ever.C.Women will play a more important part in society.D.More and more women will take part in the Olympic Games.3.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A.Oath-takers are made up of six athletes.B.Tokyo uses more real decorations to cut the cost.C.About 950 people watch the entire games in the Tokyo Games.D.The opening ceremony presents the traditional culture of Japan.BFor most thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that there is something called human nature, something that constitutes the essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but there was agreement that such an essence exists—that is to say, that there is something by virtue of which man is man. Thus man was defined as a rational(理性的) being, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a symbol-making animal.More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this change was the increasing emphasis given to the historical approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that man in our time is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called “human nature.” The historical approach was strengthened, particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cultural anthropology (人类学). The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its text. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield(盾牌) behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery.Or in order to prove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as natural human characters. Popularly, one refers cynically（愤世嫉俗地）to “human nature” in accepting the inevitability of such undesirable human behavior as greed, murder, cheating and lying.Another reason for disbelief about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable. Yet I believe it is precisely from an evolutionary standpoint that we can expect new insight into the problem of the nature of man.4. Most philosophers believed that human nature ________.A. is the quality distinguishing man from other animalsB. consists of competitiveness and selfishnessC. is something partly innate and partly acquiredD. consists of rationality and undesirable behavior5. The traditional view of “human nature” was strongly challenged by ________.A. the emergence of the evolutionary theoryB. the historical approach to manC. new insight into human behaviorD. the philosophical analysis of slavery6. According to the passage, anthropologists believe that human beings ________.A. have some characters in commonB. are born with diverse culturesC. are born without a fixed natureD. change their characters as they grow up7. The author mentioned Aristotle, a great ancient thinker, in order to ________.A. emphasize that he contributed a lot to defining the concept of “human nature”B. show that the concept of “human nature” was used to justify social evilsC. prove that he had a profound influence on the concept of “human nature”D. support the idea that some human characters are inherited.CYou must have read "The Tortoise and the Hare(《龟兔赛跑》)" when you were younger. So which animal are you? The tortoise or the hare? Do you rush around trying to do things as quickly as possible? Or do you deal your work at a slow , but steady(稳定的)pace? Whether you approach life like the tortoise or the hare can make a difference in the results you'll see.Some will say that you should avoid being like the hare. After all. he was overconfident and finally lost therace. You mayalso have heard teachers say from time to time that "haste makes waste”. But what does that mean? Most people think it meant that the faster you do something,the more likely it is that you'll make mistakes. Many teaches wantyouto approach your schoolwork thoughtfully and carefully.But does haste always make waste? Not necessarily ! Some people are able to work quickly while also maintaining(保持)a high level of quality in all that they do. Recent research, however, is making the idea of haste making waste seem more believableResearchers found that the brain changes into a special mode(模式)when forced to make rapid decisions. Overall, there appears to be a trade-off between speed and correctness. As the brain makes decisions more quickly, those decisions are usually built on less information, which often leads to a greater likelihood of mistakes.When you approach things like the tortoise. you methodically and steadily work towards your goal. You might not arrive there first, but then again you might! In any case, you're likely to make fewer mistakes and you might just enjoy the journey more than the bare.Goals are great to work towards, but often the achievements aren't what we remember. In the end, the most meaningful and important parts of our lives are the journeys we went on , not the destination we reached. So be the hare when you have to, but always remember that the slow and steady journey is what you’ll remember and treasure the most.8. Why does the author mention the story in the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic.B. To show its popularity.C. To suggest its importance.D. To advise readers to read it.9. For what purpose do teachers often say “haste makes waste to students?A. To ask them not to waste their time.B. To tell them it is OK to make mistakes.C. To ask them to avoid making silly mistakes.D. To tell them they should check their schoolwork.10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. How the brain collects the information it needs.B. When the decision made by the brain is correct.C. Why the quickly-made decision is often unwise.D. What the relationship between lime and results is.11. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Finishing the race is often a victory for everyone.B. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.C. The journey to every destination starts with a small step.D. A destination is important because it guides us on the journey.DWhy do you check social media? Is it to keep up with everything that your friends and family are doing? Is it to find new trendy spots to eat?Regardless of the reason, you may find yourself with different degrees of envy or discomfort after a quick look at your phone. Then you might be suffering from a phenomenon known as “Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). ”While the phenomenon of FOMO can be traced back for centuries, it had never been the issue as it is today, causing widespread discussion and research. This rise in checking social media is naturally connected to the increasing leading position that social media holds over our lives. Every time someone opens their WeChat Moments, Facebook, Twitter... etc. , they are bombarded with the highlight reels of other peoples' lives. A sunny beach, delicious-looking food, a super cute kitten-they are all uplifting photos, yet they're very likely to bring about more unhappiness than joy. You see, the first thought to come out of your mind may be “Wow, that's so cool/delicious/cute”, but then it takes a hard U-turn. You're thinking: “I wish I were there” or “my life is so boring compared to his/hers.” The more you see, the more likely you are to have these negative feelings.What's worse is the habit many people have of turning to social media in search of happiness when they are feeling down, not realizing that they are just going to end up in a negative cycle of endless disappointment. Montesquieu once said: “If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.”FOMO will go hand in hand with dissatisfaction and envy. Appreciate what you already have, because someone else out there in the world would gladly give everything to be you.12. What is the purpose of the questions in paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic of the passage.B. To explain the function of FOMO.C. To describe the features of FOMO.D. To give the reasons for checking social media.13. How might people feel seeing other's perfect life through social media?A. Joyful.B. Admiring.C. Comfortable.D. Envious.14. What can we conclude from Montesquieu's words in paragraph 3?A. We could turn to social media for happiness.B. We couldn't realise our dream without hard work.C. We couldn't harvest happiness through comparison.D. We could live better than others by showing ourselves online.15. What is the author's attitude towards FOMO?A. Indifferent.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Hopeful.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Other image-generation tools have been criticized because they tend to show white men when asked for images of entrepreneurs or doctors.Google wanted Gemini to avoid this trap;instead,it fell into another one,depicting George Washington as black.Now attention has moved on to the chatbot’s text responses,which turned out to be just as surprising.Gemini declined to write a job ad for a fossil fuel lobby group(游说团体),because fossil fuels are bad and lobby groups prioritize“the interests of corporations over public well-being”.Asked if Hamas is a terrorist organization,it replied that the conflict in Gaza is“complex”;asked if Elon Musk’s tweeting of memes had done more harm than Hitler, it said it was“difficult to say”.You do not have to be a critic to perceive its progressive bias.Inadequate testing may be partly to blame Google lags behind OpenAI,maker of the better-known ChatGPT.As it races to catch up,Google may have taken short cuts.Other chatbots have also had controversial launches Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover their faults,which can be swiftly addressed,lets firms move faster,if they are prepared to endure the potential risks and bad publicity,observes Ethan Mollick,a professor at Wharton Business School.But Gemini has clearly been deliberately adjusted to produce these responses.This raises questions about Google’s culture.Is the firm so financially secure,with vast profits from Internet advertising,that it feels free to try its hand at social engineering?Do some employees think it has not just an opportunity,but a responsibility,to use its reach and power to promote a particular agenda?All eyes are now on Google’s boss.Sundar Pichai.He says Gemini is being fixed. But does Google need fixing too?8．What was the problem of Google Gemini in the first paragraph?A．Having a racial prejudice.B．Responding to wrong texts.C．Criticizing political figures.D．Going against historical facts.9．What is Paragraph2mainly about?A．Gemini’s bias in text responses.B．Gemini’s refusal to make progress.C．Gemini’s failure to give definite answers.D．Gemini’s avoidance of political conflicts.10．What does Ethan Mollick think of Gemini’s early launch?A．Creative.B．Promising.C．Illegal.D．Controversial.11．What can we infer about Google from the last paragraph:A．Its security is doubted.B．It lacks financial support.C．It needs further improvement.D．Its employees are irresponsible.As awareness of climate change grows,so does the desire to do something about it.One way to gain a quantifiable (可量化的)understanding of the impacts of our actions,for good and bad,is through what is known as a carbon footprint.While the concept is gaining traction,it is not always fully understood.According to Mike Berners-Lee,a professor at Lancaster University in the UK and author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything,a carbon footprint is“the sum total of all the greenhouse gas emissions that had to take place in order for a product to be produced or for an activity to take place.”What steps a person can take to reduce their personal footprint depends on the kind of lifestyle they presently live, and the same actions are not equally effective for everyone.Berners-Lee notes that,“for some people,flying may be10 percent of their footprint,for some people it’s zero,and for some it’s such a huge number that it should be the only thing they should be thinking about.”It isn’t easy to calculate a carbon footprint.The earliest such calculator is thought to have appeared in2004as part of the“Beyond Petroleum”campaign of oil giant BP,which makes observers criticize the pressure to reduce personal carbon footprints as an indication that climate change is not the fault of an oil giant,but that of individuals.“I would say personal carbon footprint calculators are a useful tool to assess the impact of your immediate actions.”Berners-Lee says.“But what’s much more important than your personal carbon footprint is your climate shadow,which aims to paint a picture of the full sum of one’s choices and the impact they have on the planet.For example,how you vote,where you work,how you invest your money,and how much you talk about climate change.”12．What does the underlined word“traction”in paragraph1probably mean?A．Control.B．Insight.C．Attention.D．Power.13．How does Berners-Lee explain his opinion according to paragraph3?A．By presenting a fact.B．By giving suggestions.C．By clarifying a concept.D．By making a comparison.14．What is the observers’attitude to the“Beyond Petroleum”campaign of oil giant BP?A．Unclear.B．Favorable.C．Tolerant.D．Disapproving.15．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Tools are more important than choices.B．Climate shadow covers a broad range of actions.C．Calculating carbon footprint is the most effective.D．Only individuals are responsible for climate change.For decades,doctors have warned patients that too much salt can be bad for the heart.Heart attack has long been considered a grown-up problem.16Eating too much salty food when you're young can lead to health problems later.Salt is made up of two elements:sodium and chlorine伟内禾口氯）.Dietary guidelines recommend that adults and kids aged9-13shouldn't consume more than about a teaspoon of sodium daily.17This worries doctors because too much sodium results in the body producing more blood.To pump the extra blood,the heart has to work harder.This causes a rise in blood pressure一-a measurement of how stressed the heart is.High blood pressure often leads to heart disease.A kid with high blood pressure is more likely to become a grown-up with high blood pressure.18British researchers recently found that kids who eat less salt also drink fewer sugary soft drinks. Drinking fewer fizzy（碳酸）drinks makes kids less likely to gain weight,become obese and develop high blood pressure.19A recent study found that a growing number of kids in the US are suffering from kidney stones（肾结石）.This painful condition usually affects people aged over40.Now,kids as young as five are getting it.Cutting down on salt can be hard,but you can retrain yourself to prefer less salty food.The best way to reduce the amount of sodium you eat is to make changes gradually.20Switch to fresh foods instead of canned and bottled versions.And go easy on the condiments（调味品）.You might also want to start reading nutrition labels.You may be surprised to learn that there are1,150mg of sodium in a double cheeseburger,and over2,000mg in many frozen meals.A．Salt isn't the only cause of diseases.B．The average American eats twice this amount.C．Salt can affect more than just your heart and weight.D．Reducing salt might also help stop childhood obesity.E．But new research suggests that salt is starting to affect children.F．Start by adding half as much salt to your dinner as you normally do.G．Cutting down on salt now can lower a person's risk of heart disease.二、完形填空History has not yet21what we will definitively call the post millennial cohort(2000年后出生的人)that now22more than60million people in the U.S.These kids and23with no concept of life24 the Internet have so far been called the App Generation and Generation Z.They’ve been referred to as Homelanders, having grown up under the ghost of terrorism.They’ve also been25the Plurals for their historic diversity,as well as the Founders,at least by MTV.Whatever we26naming them,marketer and academies are turning their attention to this group,which has billions in27and is already shaping the culture.This generation is growing up“totally and utterly connected”says California State University psychologist Larry Rosen.Experts like Rosen have concerns about these kids’Google-inspired expectations that everything be28.They worry about their inability to29 even five seconds of boredom.And they worry about the demands that come with30several identities online, from Facebook to Twitter to Snapchat.“There’s so much pressure on young people,who are still31their identities,to present this crystallized,idealized identity online,”says the University of Washington’s Katie Davis.Historian Neil Howe sees32with the Silent Generation,the spoilt risk-avoiding“nice”generation of kids who grew up during the Great Depression and World-War II,although some marked differences are found.Today’s youths are also coming of age among geopolitical trouble and fears about the economy,he says,33schools emphasize an intense far-reaching sensitivity to other kids.He suspects this34will be known for being well behaved and perhaps boring the culture by playing it safe.“There are typical examples that occur repeatedly,”Howe says, "even if they go by different35.”21．A．remarked B．convinced C．revealed D．guaranteed22．A．numbers B．houses C．accommodates D．contains23．A．peers B．fellows C．folks D．adolescents24．A．over B．without C．besides D．beyond25．A．diagnosed B．dismissed C．labeled D．coined26．A．end up B．consider about C．appeal for D．approve of27．A．distribution force B．global view C．purchasing power D．unique outlooks 28．A．vivid B．instructive C．profitable D．instant29．A．feed up with B．put up with C．make up for D．break up with30．A．mixing B．revising C．illustrating D．maintaining 31．A．supervising B．promoting C．representing D．forming32．A．parallels B．contrasts C．comparisons D．reservations33．A．because B．as C．while D．unless34．A．generation B．emphasis C．intensity D．cultivation35．A．routes B．schemes C．names D．definitions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.After coming to China,I experienced authentic Chinese food.In Beijing,the chef in a Sichuan restaurant offered us the36(please)of experiencing wonderful and different food besides friendship.In Xinjiang,their traditional foods are those37(cook)over an open fire.The kinds of food local people consume tell us a lot about themselves;therefore,we can say culture and cuisine go hand in hand,which are both worth38(experience).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.For first-degree burns,first,place burns under cool running water,especially within the first ten minutes.Second, dry the burnt area39(gentle)with a clean cloth.Meanwhile,remove any clothes using scissors if necessary, unless you see the fabric40(stick)to the burnt skin.Then cover the burnt area with a loose clean cloth.Don’t apply oil41the injured areas,as it will keep the heat in the42(wound)and may cause infection.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.Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian went to Canada to visit their cousins in Halifax on the Atlantic coast.They flew to Vancouver and then took the train.One of the first stops was in Edmonton,43center of Canada’s huge oil and gas44(drill)industry.After another day on the train,eventually they were back in the city of Winnipeg.
