Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many back people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was A Street in Bronzeville that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions of the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. She won the prize for her second book of poems called Annie Allen. Annie Allen is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor. Ms. Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called Maud Martha, Maud Martha received little notice when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.In some of her poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. One example is this poem, Corners on the Curing Sky.By the end of the 1960s, Gwendolyn Brooks's poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville. She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues.24. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The life of Gwendolyn Brooks.B. The understanding about black culture.C. The poems of Gwendolyn Brooks.D. The struggles of black women.25. What can we learn about Gwendolyn Brooks from the second paragraph?A. She mainly wrote about the struggles of black women.B. Her poems were mainly about the African experienceC. Her writing skills were a little worse than her ability.D. She was good at using the language of poetry26. How does the author mainly develop the passage?A. By providing examples.B. By using statistics.C. By comparing opinions.D. By describing her experiences.27. What would the author most probably talk about in the next part?A. The difficulties Gwendolyn Brooks would meet.B. The racial inequality the black had to face.C. The awards Gwendolyn Brooks gained.D. The poems related to political issues.CIn its early history，Chicago had floods frequently，especially in the spring，making the streets so muddy that people，horses，and carts got stuck.An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street.Asked if he needs help，he replies,“No，thanks.I've got a good horse under me.”The city planners decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system，but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt.This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet.This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago.Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level.Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily.But what about large，heavy structures like the Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building?That's where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully.To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building's foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time，thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly，the Tremont Hotel stayed open during the entire operation，and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening.Some people like to say that every problem has a solution.But in Chicago's early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.28.The author mentions the joke to show ________.A．horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB．Chicago was very dangerous in the springC．Chicago's streets were extremely muddyD．the Chicago people were particularly humorous29．The underlined word “hoist” in Paragraph 4 means “________”．A．change B．lift C．repair D．decorate30．What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?A．It went on smoothly as intended.B．It interrupted the business of the hotel.C．It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.D．It separated the building from its foundation.31．The passage is mainly about early Chicago's ________.A．popular life styles and their influencesB．environmental disasters and their causesC．engineering problems and their solutionsD．successful businessmen and their achievementsDNot all awards are as noble as the Nobel Prize，which is world-famous for giving prizes to people who made progress in literature, science, economics and —perhaps most importantly —peace.Even though most countries have a system for recognizing，honoring and rewarding people who have done something good in their countries，and there are now hundreds of awards and awards ceremonies for all kinds of things.The Oscars are probably the most famous award for the film industry to tell itself how good it is. It’s not only films—now there are also Grammies，Brits and the MTV awards for music. The Turner Prize is an award for a British artist—each year it causes contestation by giving lots of money to artists who do things like displaying their beds，putting animals in glass cases or —this year— building a garden shed. People have different voices about the huge prize for it!Awards don’t only exist for the arts. There are now awards for Sports Personality of the Year，for European Footballer of the year and World Footballer of the Year. This seems very strange — sometimes awards can be good to give recognition to people who deserve it，or to help people who don’t make a lot of money carry on their work without worrying about finances，but professional soccer players these days certainly aren’t short of cash!Why have all these awards and ceremonies appeared recently？Shakespeare never won a prize，nor did Leonardo da Vinci or Adam Smith or Charles Dickens.Most awards ceremonies are now sponsored by big organizations or companies.This means that it is not only the person that wins the award who benefits —but also the sponsors. The MTV awards，for example，are great for publicizing not only music，but also MTV itself !On the surface，it seems to be a “winwin” situation，with everyone being happy，but let me ask you a question — how far do you think that publicity and marketing are winning here，and how much real recognition of achievement is taking place?32．Which of the following awards will the author recognize as noble?A．The Nobel Prize. B．The Turner Prize.C．The Oscars. D．World Footballer of the Year.33．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?A．Only great people like Shakespeare should be awarded.B．Not all awards and prizes go to people who deserve it.C．Awards should be given to people who have financial difficulties.D．Organizations and companies should stay away from awards ceremonies.34．What does the underlined word “contestation” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Prizes. B．Losses. C．Responses. D．Arguments.35．The writer believes the awards should be given to .A．publicize the winners B．honor the real achievementsC．improve marketing D．reward people with special talents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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

中学生标准学术能力诊断性测试-2024学年高三下学期3月测试英语试题
中学生标准学术能力诊断性测试-2024学年高三下学期3月测试英语试题Beyond the classroom, the US provides various job opportunities that allow students to gain practical experience, earn income and enhance their skill sets. Here are some of the diverse employment avenues available for international students while attending university in the US.On-campus employmentMany US universities offer on-campus employment opportunities for international students, providing a convenient and accessible way to earn income while pursuing their studies. These positions may include roles in libraries, administrative offices, student centers, or even research assistantships within academic departments. On-campus employment is typically limited to 20 hours per week during the academic year, allowing students to balance work and study commitments.Off-campus employmentOff-campus employment opportunities are also available, although with certain restrictions. The two primary categories of off-campus employment are optional practical training (OPT)and curricular practical training (CPT). OPT allows students to work in their field of study for up to 12 months (or 24 months for STEM fields)after graduation, providing valuable real-world experience. CPT, on the other hand, permits students to engage in practical training directly related to their academic program while still attending their university.Internships and cooperative programsMany US universities have robust internship and cooperative education programs that connect students with industry partners. These programs offer international students the chance to apply classroom knowledge in professional settings, fostering skill development and industry connections. Internships, whether paid or unpaid, are valuable stepping stones that often lead to full-time employment opportunities after graduation.Research assistantshipsFor students pursuing advanced degrees, research assistantships provide a unique opportunity to work closely with faculty on cutting-edge research projects. These positions not only contribute to academic and professional growth but also offer financial backing. Research assistantships can be found in various disciplines, including science, engineering, social sciences and humanities.1. What sets On-campus employment apart from other job opportunities?A．It is available before graduation.B．Its work time is no more than 20 hours every week.C．It can help students earn money and pursue their studies.D．It provides cutting-edge research projects.2. Which of the following can pave the way for students’ full-time employment?A．On-campus employment. B．Off-campus employment.C．Internships. D．Cooperative programs.3. What can Research assistantships provide for international students?A．A university degree. B．Industry connection.C．Real-world experience. D．Financial support.Even now, I have vivid memories of my last day of high school. In my mind’s eye, I’m cleaning out my locker, and then staring at the emptiness for a few extra beats before slamming it shut for the last time. I’m roaming the halls with my best friend, blissfully ignoring the bells going off every 50 minutes on schedule because, just today, we’re allowed to break the rules. I’m sitting on my desk, swinging my feet, and shooting the breeze(闲聊) with my English teacher, Mr. Carr, in a way that makes me feel almost grown up.It was maybe my favorite day of the whole year. Like the final layer of watercolor, the freedom and lightness I feel seeps(渗透) into the rest of my memories of that day and turns them just a shade rosier.If the school year hasn’t yet ended f or you, consider what you can do to make the finale count. Why? Because when it comes to human memory, not all moments are created equal. Instead, our remembered experiences are disproportionately(不成比例地) influenced by peaks(the best moments as well as the worst)and endings (the last moments). Nobel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint.I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever strife(冲突) and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mom I hadn’t quite managed to be just hours before.Don’t mistake all moments as equal in significance. There’s a reason why yoga classes end with savasana(挺卧式). There’s a reason we eat dessert last. Do orchestrate(精心安排) endings. As Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll might say: Finish strong. Last impressions are especially lasting.4. What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 mean?A．Calmly. B．Surprisingly.C．Happily. D．Curiously.5. Which statement is true about the peak-end rule?A．Peaks in life can be remembered better than endings.B．The last moments matter the most in our memories.C．Our judgment of the past is determined by first impressions.D．The peaks and ends of experiences are easier to remember.6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．How the author applied the rule to daily life.B．How the author treated her daughters.C．What struggles the author had in life.D．Why the author read stories to her kids.7. Why is Pete Carroll mentioned in the last paragraph?A．To prove the peak-end rule can be used in sports.B．To encourage readers to value the last moments of an experience.C．To explain why last impressions are lasting.D．To show the importance of doing sports.Not many drinks can offer the health benefits of tea, the strength of coffee, and the joy of chocolate like this super brew, yerba mate. Along with supposed benefits of supporting weight loss, concentration, and better digestion, drinking yerba mate continues to symbolize culture and tradition in South America.Consumed mostly in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil — as well as in Syria and Lebanon — yerba mate (pronounced MAH-tay)is a hot, bitter, caffeinated tea made by steeping the dried leaves of the yerba mate plant. Containing roughly as much caffeine as coffee, about 80 milligrams per cup, mate has gained global popularity — much so that brands like Perrier, Red Bull, and PepsiCo have launched mate drinks.But in the last couple of decades, mate started experiencing a boom outside of South America. Karla Johan, a mate sommelier (侍酒师) from Argentina, attributes this partly to football players from Argentina and Uruguay bringing the habit to Europe, where they moved to play for local teams. In fact, one might say that mate is the “beverage of champions”. When Argentina’s national football team travelled to Qatar in December 2022 to play and won the World Cup, they carried 240 kg of yerba mate with them.Yerba mate, of course, eventually migrated over to the U. S. and in recent years has become a popular ingredient in everything from health elixirs (保健药) to energy drinks. Loose leaves can be purchased at most specialty grocery stores to make the drink at home. And if you want to get the full yerba mate experience, you can even order a cup for drinking mate and bombilla online, gather some friends, and enjoy the beauty of the South American ritual for yourself.Global messaging platform WhatsApp recently introduced a mate emoji, which points to mate’s growing popularity as people aim for a healthier lifestyle. That’s because mate, said Johan, contains a higher level of antioxidants than green tea or red wine, and a powerful combination of vitamins from the clay soil where it grows. In Argentina, mate is common, a faithful companion for matters great and small. Yet, unlike coffee or tea, it is not consumed in cafes: It’s what you have at home and at work, in the park and on the train, during class or at the gym.8. Which of the following is not the feature of yerba mate?A．Its bitter flavor. B．Its long history.C．Its ingredient of caffeine. D．Its function of losing weight.9. What makes yerba mate globally popular?A．Its unique coffee taste.B．Its health benefits.C．The support of famous football players.D．The launch of mate drinks by famous brands.10. Which is the following is NOT true about yerba mate according to paragraph 4?A．It can be easily accessible. B．It can cure some diseases.C．It can be made into energy drinks. D．It can be purchased online.11. Why do people show preference for yerba mate according to paragraph 5?A．Because it is a faithful companion.B．Because it can be enjoyed everywhere.C．Because it contains some beneficial elements.D．Because it is better than green tea and red wine.Smart entertainment is changing how we engage with leisure. By combining cutting-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), augmented reality, and the internet of things with traditional forms of entertainment, this innovation is enhancing users’ experiences.In 2023, Huawei introduced its Vision Smart TV3, transforming your home into your own amusement park. This innovative technology features groundbreaking AI super-sensing cameras and AI vision chips powered by deep learning and big data. These advanced components see and study your movements, enabling you to control characters through your body gestures. Social media is busy with users sharing their experiences of playing motion-sensing games, which require real-life movements like jumping and squatting instead of simply holding a controller.The Vision Smart TV is not only cutting-edge but also family-friendly. Turning on the kids mode allows the screen to monitor real-time data, offering suggestions for adjusting a child’s viewing distance and posture. This provides a safe and comfortable entertainment experience for the younger audience. TorieZ, a Huawei Vision Smart TV3 owner and a mother of a 3-year-old daughter, shared her experience on Xiaohongshu. “Thanks to the smart screen, my child maintains good postur e without constant supervision because her favorite cartoons stop if she slouches (懒洋洋地坐),” she said. When she’s free, TorieZ and her husband enjoy exercising together under the instructions of the TV.We can not only play video games merely on the screens; now, with smart entertainment, you can get an immersive experience of Mario Kart, a racing video game, put right into your living room.While playing the game, players can control their karts running in their living rooms. Each kart has an onboard camera on it. The camera can record the layout of where they are and upload it to the Nintendo system. After processing it, some settings, like jungles and snowy landscapes, are created based on the layout and shown on the Switch screen. So, things in your living room, like the sofa and table, your feet or even your cat, can be a part of your game.Step outside and you can also enjoy smart entertainment experiences. Shanghai Disney Resort uses big data analysis to offer personalized services. In the US and South America, VR World, the largest VR club, gives users super real gaming and travel adventures.Looking forward, cutting-edge technologies will continue to change how we spend our leisure time.12. How does Huawei’s Vision Smart TV3 improve user interaction in gaming experiences?A．Through touch-activated screens.B．Through voice-activated commands.C．Through thought-based gaming controls.D．Through immediate responses to motion gestures.13. According to TorieZ, how does Vision Smart TV3 benefit her child?A．By limiting overall screen time.B．By providing exercise instructions.C．By restricting access to certain content.D．By offering real-time posture monitoring.14. What can we know about the video game Mario Kart according to the passage?A．The settings are fixed and can’t be changed.B．Physical objects in the room can become part of the game.C．Players wear VR headsets for a more engaging experience.D．Players interact with AI characters in the game.15. What can be the best title of the passage?A．Having fun in new ways B．How to spend our leisure timeC．Cutting-edge technologies D．Innovative video gamesYou may not get enough physical activity throughout the day, especially since sitting still is required or encouraged in many j obs, at school, and in social situations. But there’s something you should know. Being physically inactive or sedentary (久坐不动的) can increase health risks. 16What counts as being physically inactive?While there is no strict definition of what can be considered a sedentary lifestyle, researchers have a few different measures to assess what a sedentary lifestyle is. One measure is the time an individual spends seated or reclining (向后倚靠) during waking hours. 17 Some other researchers label people inactive or sedentary if they take fewer than 5,000 pedometer (计步器) steps per day.18In the short term, being inactive can increase depression or anxiety. It can also affect the way the body processes fats and sugars in the diet and lead to some weight gain i f you aren’t burning enough calories. Over the long term, sedentary lifestyles increase the risk of death from cardiovascular (心血管的) disease, diabetes, and cancer.How can you prevent being inactive?Health authorities recommend exercise at a medium level for either 30 minutes a day for five days a week or a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes per week. Walking is an easy activity to add to your day.19 A pedometer or fitness band can show you whether you are getting enough steps. Many people aim to take 10,000 steps per day, which indicates that you have met your daily physical activity goal. 20 but the value of being more physically active is worth it for its many benefits.As an ordinary senior school student, I’ve discovered a wonderful way to _________ life with a positive attitude — my daily bicycle rides.

2023-2024学年重庆市高三下学期3月月考英语试题
2023-2024学年重庆市高三下学期3月月考英语试题When it comes to tricks in life, the following will be of great help, which might surprisingly end up working the magic.Hooks that helpThere’s nothing worse than throwing something into the trash bin and watching the garbage bag fall in with it. To prevent this, stick two wall hooks onto the outside of your bin(one on either side), positioned so they face downward. The next time you replace the grocery bag, loop its handles through the hooks and no matter how full the bag gets, it’ll never drop to the bottom of the bin again.Easier garbage storageYou have probably encountered this: after filling the bag with trash, it forms a vacuum (真空) seal so tight t hat it’s a struggle to lift the bag out once it’s full. What to do? Punch a couple of small holes in the sides, a few centimeters above its base. The holes will allow just enough airflow to make lifting out the trash a piece of cake.Instant bottle brushIf you have an ordinary kitchen sponge (海绵) and a fork, then you have everything you need for a DIY bottle brush. Pierce the narrowest edge of the sponge with the fork and slide the sponge down until the points of the fork are fully covered. You can now clean out the skinniest bottle with ease.Express dryingNeed washed load of laundry dried in a flash? Toss a clean, dry towel into the dryer along with all the wet stuff for the first 15 minutes of the cycle. It’ll absorb some of the moisture and speed up th e overall drying time.1. What is the key to lifting trash bags?A．The fork. B．The hook. C．The brush. D．The holes.2. Why is a dry towel used in the laundry?A．To take in water. B．To tidy the dryer.C．To clean the clothes. D．To distinguish the wet stuff.3. What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Various means of saving money. B．Creative ideas on making life fun.C．DIY solutions for life’s little dilemmas.D．Different ways to promote cooking skills. Sometimes one plus one does equal three, as was the case when Dave McNee met Claudia Mandekic 14 years ago. McNee was at a dentist appointment in Toronto when he chatted with Mandekic, whowas studying to be a teacher. When she told McNee what a headache it was to get students excited about math, he made a surprising suggestion, “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?”The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the colleagues were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School.When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly thrilled. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage, which, in turn, taught them about fractions (分数). The winning team would be determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” says Mandekic. “I realized we might be onto something.”The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other Toronto schools. “I was terrible at math,” says Duane Douglas, an 8th grader. “But once I started BallMatics and realized the sport I loved was directly tied to math, it made me a lot better at it. Every time I played basketball, I was thinking about math.”McNee and Mandekic have established a private high school called Uchenna Academy since 2019, where kids with excellent basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time.The value of BallMatics is clear: last year, the boys landed university scholarships for their performance in the classroom, not on the court. McNee and Mandekic believe the school’s commitment to academics is the key reason why it’s been a winner.4. What did Mandekic think of teaching math at the beginning?A．Worrying. B．Shocking. C．Boring. D．Exciting.5. What does the underlined word “fixated” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Calm. B．Impressed. C．Focused. D．Dependent.6. Duane Douglas was mentioned in paragraph 4 to ______.A．show the simplicity of math B．prove the success of BallMaticsC．stress the significance of playing D．display his passion for the school7. What is the best title of the passage?A．A Simple Entertainment B．A Surprising DiscoveryC．A Beautiful Coincidence D．A Winning CombinationMore than half the world’s population are city residents, and, by 2050, the United Nations predicts that seven in ten people will be. Architects are having to consider how architecture influences our emotional well-being in urban settings.According to Colin Ellard, a research psychologist at Waterloo University, Canada, there is a lot of eviden ce which shows “the profound impact that the design of buildings has on how we feel, how we treat one another, and our overall psychological well-being”. A study from the University of Heidelberg concluded that people raised in the countryside are less likely to have mental disorders than those raised in the city. The city of Vancouver in Canada, which is surrounded by mountains and ocean, recognises the need to connect with nature. It has included protecting ocean and mountain views in its urban planning guidelines. For example, tall buildings are set up in strategic locations that don’t block scenic views for downtown residents.The British designer Thomas Heatherwick wants to make architecture less soulless and boring. He told The Guardian, “We need to fe arlessly demand interestingness and make buildings that enrich our senses.” He has listed seven characteristics of a boring building. These include being too flat and straight. He says lack of depth means light and shadow cannot play on surfaces, while straight lines are at odds with nature and make buildings dull.However, making buildings interesting is not always easy, as architect Rafael Vinoly found out in 2013 when he created the 37-store y skyscraper in London. The building was admired for its curved exterior walls covered in reflective glass. However, it acted like a magnifying glass and reflected light which melted nearby cars and almost set fire to a carpet. A screen had to be added to prevent the building causing further damage.So, for your own well-being, surround yourself with buildings that bring you joy, and ideally a view of nature.8. Why are tall buildings located in certain places in Vancouver?A．To protect people’s mental health.B．To follow the tradition of the city.C．To caution people against disorder. D．To reveal the prosperity of the area.9. Which kind of building is Thomas’ preference?A．One with straight lines. B．One having flat surfaces.C．One having a security system. D．One with innovative patterns.10. What did Rafael Vinoly fail to consider in his design?A．Boldness. B．Creativity. C．Practicality. D．Flexibility.11. What is the purpose of the passage?A．To call on people to live in big cities.B．To compare buildings in different cities.C．To stress the importance of healthy emotion.D．To convince people of emotional impact by buildings.According to legend, the first-ever marathon was so exhausting that the Greek messenger, who dashed 40km from the battlefield to Athens, collapsed and died. Over the past 2,500 years, humans have become better at running. Eight of the ten fastest times in female marathon have been recordedsince 2022. This can to a large extent be explained by the development of a new generation of hyper-bouncy running shoes—“super-shoes”—that offer athletes greater assistance. Such has been the improvement that some have questioned whether the technology is now too dominant.No doubt that athletes are breaking records because of their footwear. Both Nike and Adidas have persuaded World Athletics to permit shoes with chunky, foam soles(鞋底), which act as springs. When their feet compress the super-shoes into the ground, the runners receive more energy as they push off again. In 2017 Nike announced the new technology allowed athletes to use 4% less energy than they would if wearing a regular shoe.Those who would like the shoes banned worry that the balance between the runners’ ability and footwear has become twisted. Plainly, though, this is a long way from shoes that matter more than runners. A club runner may set a personal best in a pair of Nike Alphaflys, but she is not going to outrun Ms. Assefa(world champion) wearing regular shoes. World Athletics insists such super-shoes should be available to all athletes in order to be legal, so there is no risk of results being determined by a lack of access to the best equipment.Part of the appeal of sports is that they show humans on an upward trajectory (轨迹), becoming stronger, faster and fitter. Technology has always contributed to this. But as the sports industry has more investment, the motivations to find an edge in performance have grown, whether in kit, diet or game strategy. Surely, advances have to be controlled. But banning super-shoes would be opposing progress and difficult to enforce. This is a genie (精灵)that cannot be returned to its shoebox.12. What has improved female marathon records since 2022?A．The changes of rules. B．The advance in sports kit.C．The assistance of coaches. D．The development of humans.13. What is centered on about super-shoes in paragraph 2?A．The principle. B．The history. C．The challenge. D．The drawback. 14. Which of the following might the author agree with?A．Ms. Assefa runs slowly in regular shoes. B．Using super-shoes is regarded asdishonest.C．Nike Alphaflys better athletes’ performance. D．Access to super shoes determines athletes’ success.15. What does the last paragraph imply?A．Athletics should not embrace super-shoes.B．There is nothing to fear about technological advances.C．Not all investments have led to advances in technology.D．It is impossible for sports industry to control super-shoes.Up to 80% of premature heart disease can be prevented by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known. 16 . “A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the long run,” says preventive cardiologist Dr. Beth Abramson.Get eight hours of sleep“ 17 ,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, founder of the Canadian Obesity Network. If we’re slee p deprived, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation(发炎) and glucose levels. These factors can all have an impact on heart health.18“We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” says Abramson. “Volun teering gets you out and creates a social network.” Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2020 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack.Avoid polluted airExposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Breathing in pollutants may irritate arteries (动脉) and increase inflammation. Even short periods of exposure are unhealthy for people who already have other cardiovascular risks, such as high blood pressure. 19 .Eat breakfastA recent study found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost twice more likely to have heart disease six years later than those consuming a substantial morning meal. One possible reason, “If you eat a proper breakfast, you’re less l ikely to be hungry later and make poor food choices,” says Abramson.“ 20 .”I was resting when Jenny called. “There’s a thing that ________ you,” she said. “My cat found a mouse and I don’t know how you feel about cats with mice, although I have the ________ that you are afraid of bugs.”“Bugs are afraid of me.” I said. Having been bitten by a spider, I decided my new ________ was simple: get them befor e they get you. “I will get it.”The mouse was under the ________ when I arrived.

It’s not your pet.” The mouse then crawled up on the broom handle, and we were now eyeball to eyeball.I ________ for something else to get the mouse. She rushed over, and then a spatula (抹刀) descended over my shoulder.“What? This is a MOUSE not a MOUSSE (奶油)!” Another container was handed.

河北省衡水市枣强县衡水董子高级中学2023-2024学年高三下学期3月月考英语试题
河北省衡水市枣强县衡水董子高级中学2023-2024学年高三下学期3月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解There are very few countries in the world that don’t have some sort of legend (传说) or connect ion with dragons. Here are some great destinations to get a fi x on dragon.FranceCalais in France has a dragon standing 33 feet tall, 82 feet long, with a wingspan of more than 55 feet. It walks and moves as you would imagine a dragon does, and you can take it for a ride. The Calais dragon is a mechanical wonder, which is nearly too real to be called a fairground creature.WalesIn the UK, you will find a proud dragon country, Wales. Here there is the legend of two dragons: one white and one red. Wales’ tale describes the two dragons fighting and the red one winning, so you will find it difficult to hurry about the country without coming across a red dragon. Dragons are sold in souvenir shops, sit by ancient castles, hang around in King Arthur’s Labyrinth, and are featured on the national flag.NorwayThe Vikings knew a thing or two about dragons. In the lovely film How to Train Your Dragon, they even flew them. But seriously, when you dig into Norway’s Viking history and legends, you will find dragons mentioned everywhere, though not as cute as those in the film. From the figurehead in the Viking Ship Museum to jewelry, and decorations on buildings, be on the lookout for them when visiting Norway.BhutanThe Druk or Thunder Dragon, is the national symbol and appears everywhere. The country is called Land of the Thunder Dragon, or Kingdom of Druk, and it’s part of the national anthem (国歌) and its flag. Despite its fearful name, it’s actually rather cute. The legend has it that the sound of thunder through the mountain s is actually the dragon roaring. 1．What can we learn about the Calais dragon?A．It’s a character from a popular film.B．It’s a creation designed for entertainment.C．It’s a real creature trained for rides.D．It’s a sculpture displayed in a museum.2．What do Wales and Bhutan have in common on dragons?A．They feature dragons on their flags.B．They include dragons in their anthems.C．They have a legend of two dragons.D．They describe dragons as cute images. 3．Which country associates dragons with a natural phenomenon?A．France.B．Wales.C．Norway.D．Bhutan.We can create learning moments that students remember forever if we open up our classrooms to awe and wonder.Toward the end of my high school year, our Spanish teacher organized a trip to see an Andean band perform in Philadelphia. My classmates and I egged one another on ironically (讽刺地): Who could enjoy the show? The performers’ clothing seemed odd. The instruments, strange. But then the performers kicked in, dancing to their bombo and wancara drums around the stage and the panpipes and quena announced a kind of sound—new to us.We had spent too little time discussing the culture of the Inca in social studies but its traditions came alive for us that evening. Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music, my teenage cynicism disappeared. I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy.I have spent the last seven years living and working in South America. But my thirst for cultural exploration and a desire to understand the world outside my language and country has been alive longer than that. Sometimes I think that night dancing to those ancient rhythms unlocked this fascination. Why do I remember it so clearly decades later?In his recent book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, psychology professor Dacher Keltner explains that “brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do.” Besides being a memorable emotion, awe boosts curiosity, builds humility, helps with critical thinking, and makes people feel more connected. It even makes us happier. “Twenty years into teaching happiness,” Keltner writes about how to find deep happiness, “I have an answer: FIND AWE.”Moving forward, let’s do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum (课程). So when our former students approach us on the subway years later, they will recall the magical moments from their days spent in our classes.4．How did the students initially react to the Andean band’s performance?A．They showed respect for it.B．They approached it with doubt.C．They left in disappointment.D．They felt joyful to appreciate it. 5．What does the underlined word “cynicism” in paragraph 3 refer to?A．A deep understanding of music.B．A strong enthusiasm for exploration.C．A negative attitude to the world.D．A sense of connection with society. 6．What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A．The importance of finding happiness in life.B．The lasting impact of a memorable experience.C．The benefits of understanding different cultures.D．The positive role of awe in improving one’s life.7．Who is the text intended for?A．Teachers.B．High school graduates.C．Parents.D．Psychology researchers.Concrete has served as the foundation stone of the construction industry for hundreds of years. However, the process of producing concrete is one of the most environmentally unfriendly processes in the world. In the process, not only is carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) released into the air by the energy used to heat the limestone, but the limestone itself also gives out a huge amount of the element.Luckily, a number of start-ups throughout the world are using creative thinking to make the construction industry a whole lot more friendly for the planet.A Canadian company called CarbonCure, has found a way to inject (注入) concrete with carbon dioxide itself. Not only does this trap the carbon dioxide into the concrete, keeping it from running away into the atmosphere, but it also creates a super strong material called calcium carbonate, which reduces the total amount of concrete that needs to be used.California-based Brimstone, is creating carbon-negative concrete by doing away with limestone entirely and instead using silicate rock, a material that does not release carbon dioxide when heated. Instead, the process produces magnesium (镁) , which absorbs carbon dioxide, as the basis for their concrete.Additionally, researchers at Australia’s RMIT University have recently released a study showing that adding coffee grounds instead of sand to concrete could make it much stronger, reducing both the amount of sand used, as well as the amount of concrete that would need to be used in the final product.The biggest barrier at this point is convincing members of the industry that the new types of concrete are safe to be used, according to Stacy Smedley, director at a nonprofit focused on decarbonizing construction.Hopefully these new solutions to the environmental problems of concrete will soon be widely adopted. Given the significant part the construction industry has in releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, great improvements can be made when more environmentally-friendly materials are used.8．What is the environmental issue associated with traditional concrete production?A．The high demand for energy.B．The processing of waste materials.C．The mass release of carbon dioxide.D．The use of non-renewable resources. 9．How does CarbonCure deal with the environmental impact of concrete production?A．By using silicate rock as the basis.B．By putting carbon dioxide into concrete.C．By replacing sand with coffee grounds.D．By absorbing carbon dioxide withmagnesium.10．According to Smedley, what is the major challenge facing these solutions?A．Difficulty in making profits.B．Convincing the public of theconvenience.C．Lack of funding for research.D．Removing the industry members’ safety concerns.11．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To promote an alternative to concrete.B．To advocate environmental protection.C．To introduce new ways to produce concrete.D．To emphasize the significance of creativity.Writing out the same word again and again may bring back bad memories for some, but handwriting can boost connectivity across brain regions, some of which are involved in learning and memory, a new study shows.In the study, psychologists Audrey and Ruud, both at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, stuck electrodes (电极) on the participants’ heads. They asked the participants to type out or hand write with a digital pen words that appeared on a computer screen. Sensors in a cap recorded electrical brain activity. Then the psychologists looked for when two brain areas are active with the same frequency of electrical waves at the same time.This result can reveal the connectivity among different regions across the brain.With handwriting, the researchers saw increased activity, specifically in low frequency bands, not only in the expected motor areas but also in others associated with learning. These low frequency bands have previously been shown to support memory processes. When the team compared the two tasks, they realized that handwriting —but not typing —increased the connectivity across parietal (顶叶) brain regions, which are involved in sensory and motor processing, and central regions, many of which are involved in memory.“Even when the movements are very similar, the activation seems much, much higher in handwriting,” Audrey says. “It shows that there’s more involvement of these brain regions when you’re handwriting, which might give you some specific advantages.”These findings suggest that there are distinct processes of brain activation happening while a person types or writes. This boost of stimulation of handwriting facilitates learning because these particular waves between these areas are involved in memory formation and encoding (编码) .And although handwriting may help with learning processes, typing is often easier, faster and more practical. “Students and teachers alike should therefore consider the task at hand to decide to hand write or type,” Audrey says. Despite the need for more studies to determine the best learning strategy, experts say that handwriting shouldn’t be left behind in the digital age. “Schools need to bring in more writing into curriculum design,” Ruud says.12．What did Audrey and Ruud mainly do in their research?A．They tested the function of electrodes.B．They analyzed the brain structure.C．They monitored the brain activities.D．They recorded the writing speed. 13．Why can handwriting improve learning more than typing?A．It involves more specific brain activation.B．It promotes better muscle memory.C．It allows for more innovative thinking.D．It encourages better concentration. 14．What’s the author’s attitude toward typing?A．Favorable.B．Objective.C．Doubtful.D．Unclear. 15．What might be the best title for the text?A．Taking Notes by Hand is Becoming Uncommon in ClassB．Using Keyboard is Recommended Due to Its ConvenienceC．Widespread Brain Connectivity is Crucial to Human LearningD．Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More Than Typing DoesWhile technology addicts teens to their devices, they are not helpless against the draw of it. Here are five ways educators can support their students’ digital well-being.Explore design tricks companies use. The technology we use daily is designed to catch and hold our attention. Companies know what keeps our eyes on the screen. To help, teachers can unpack design tricks and explain how companies employ features like auto-play to get users to stay on their apps. 16Talk about how technology can increase feelings of anxiety. The decline in youth mental health is associated with an increase in social media use. 17 We can help our students by allowing them to consider the benefits of technology and then to think about changing the habits that aren’t serving their well-being.18 Social media can bring the feeling: “All my friends have better lives than me.” Plus, design features like “read receipts” can lead to teens knowing their messages have been seen and stressing about why friends haven’t yet replied. These are classic examples of thinking traps. Identifying them can help teens get rid of some negative thoughts.Uncover the ways that AI can play a role in misinformation. AI is rapidly transforming the world. Recommendation algorithms (算法), which determine what we do and do not see on our feeds and in our search results, can have very real consequences. 19 By understanding how these technologies work, students can start to enjoy more benefits of technology.Encourage families to have meaningful conversations with their child. Take the time to share with families the topics and resources you’re teaching in class. 20 Knowing we’re all in the same boat is crucial.A．Social media is ruining our life.B．Connect them with their inner world.C．Build their awareness of thinking traps.D．This by no means indicates all technology is bad.E．They can pull us toward increasingly extreme views.F．It turns out adults and kids all pursue digital well-being.G．Knowing these can motivate students to get back their attention.二、完形填空This wasn’t the way I wanted to see Rome.
