Alexandria Villasenor, who was 13 at the time, witnessed the destruction of Northern California’s Camp Fire, which would go on to burn more than 150,000 acres of land. Villasenor was scared. “That’s when I found out how important climate education was,” she reflected. “And just how much we lacked climate education these past couple of years.”Villasenor, now 15, is determined to have a bigger conversation. She quickly realized the fight requires international, government-level changes. For her, what started as local concern turned into a year-long protest in front of the United Nations’ New York City headquarters and a global campaign for more compulsory climate education. She sat on a bench in front of the headquarters, pleading for the world’s leaders to take climat e change seriously.Her action received national attention, with millions of other students around the world joining in the movement. “It’s completely unacceptable to not learn anything about our planet and our environment in school, after all the young pe ople would ‘inherit’ the Earth.” Villasenor said, “That’s why I think that climate education is so important, and that’s why I focus a lot on it now.”Right now, Villasenor is working with the Biden-Harris administration on its climate plan, which has promised to center the needs of young people and communities most impacted by climate change. She even spoke at the 2020 Democratic National Convention. “That was definitely a huge moment when I realized that people were listening to the voices of me and youth climate activists,” Villasenor said.When she isn’t connecting with her fellow youth activists or holding elected officials accountable to the climate concerns of their young voters, Villasenor is like most other teens. “My favorite thing to do, of course, is sleep.” she said. “I like to read a lot. I like fantasy books, normally. I also like to write.”4．What made Villasenor realize the lack of climate education?A. The state of California.B. The fire disasters in America.C. 150, 000 acres of land scaring her.D. The severe Camp fire in California.5．What does the underlined part “have a bigger conversation” mean?A. To talk with more local people to change their mind.B. To convey her belief loudly to more global students.C. To protest to leaders at home and abroad to make changes.D. To call on local people to fight with the leaders.6．Which of the following facts gives Villasenor a sense of achievement?A. That she is working with the Biden-Harris administration on its climate plan.B. That her and other youth climate activists’ opinions caught people’s attention.C. That she can sleep and read in her spare time.D. That more schools have set up climate courses.7．What is this passage mainly about?A. The 15-year-old activist fighting for better climate education.B. Climate education deserves everyone’s attention around the world.C. How to prevent camp fire.D. Young activists make their voices heard.When 9-year-old Alice asked me, “Mom, do I have to brush my hair today?”, I didn’t know how to answ er. On the one hand, it’s good to have pride in our appearance. And hair-brushing does not take a lot of effort. But on the other hand, I was happy that my daughter paid little attention to the way her hair looked, how she dressed or what people thought about her. In Alice’s world, brushing her hair was troublesome and she would just do it as little as possible. I knew back then that those feelings would not last a long time.Five years later, at age 14, Alice is obsessed (迷恋) with her physical appearance. Hair has to be brushed, makeup used, and clothes changed many times before we can even think about leaving the house. My confident teen worries about whether her nail (指甲) color matches her shirt or if she looks “stupid” in the very same clothes she says she loved the day before. With shame, it crosses my mind that I somehow raised a looks-obsessed child, focusing on things that are shallow (肤浅的) .We have talked about in detail how looks don’t matter and that being a good, kind, caring person in this world is way more important than looking good. Each time we talk about this, Alice tells me that she knows that looks aren’t important. But when she looks good on the outside, she feels more confident on the inside. In turn, that makes her a kinder, more caring, more understanding person. I certainly can’t argue with such powerful teenage thinking And just as she learned over the years that often brushing hair is probably a good idea, hopefully she will learn that sometimes it’s okay to go out in a less-than-perfect coat or without makeup. Somewhere deep down, her freewheeling (随心所欲的) 9-year-old self stillknows that.8．What was the 9-year-old Alice like?A. She cared little about her looks.B. She was curious about the world.C. She communicated with her mom often.D. She liked to brush her hair for her mom.9．What does the author think of Alice’s change?A. It is a waste of money.B. It is totally unnecessary.C. It makes Alice look a little older.D. It makes the author feel ashamed.10．What is the author’s reaction to Alice’s reasons?A. She falls silent.B. She is surprised.C. She pays no attention to them.D. She thinks about them carefully.11．What is the best title for the text?A. My daughter’s freewheeling attitude to her looksB. My admiration for my daughter’s courage to changeC. My struggle to do with my looks-obsessed daughterD. My daughter’s methods of looking good and feeling goodYour smartphone breaks. The repair costs too much money. So you give up and buy a new device (设备) . That this happens so often is no coincidence (巧合) .Many big device makers are putting more new products on the market. But they do not sell specialized tools and parts needed for repairs. And they offer no instruction on how to repair their products. As a result, the independent repair shops in your neighborhood find they cannot repair your broken smartphone. You can only go to faraway authorized (经授权的) repair shops to get the necessary repair service, which is often costly.In recent years, some producers have taken steps to make repairs easier, but there’s a growing effort across the world to push them to do more. Last week, the “Right to Repair movement heard good news from the White House. The president of the US on Friday signed an order aimed at encouraging healthy competition in the US economy. It includes a condition for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) . The FTC was asked to make rules preventing producers from limiting independent device repair shops and DIY repairs.“Right to Repair” is a global movement to make sure everyone has the right to fix the products they own. The idea has generally come from the United States. The earliest known published reference using the group of words comes from the auto industry dating back to2003. Its supporters require companies to provide their parts, tools and information forconsumers (消费者) and repair shops. They also encourage the government to make laws to force producers to increase device reparability.The FTC in May presented a 56-page report. It said that “many consumer products have become harder to fix.” The report also found that “the burden (负担) of repair limits may fall more heavily on communities of color and consumers having little money” because many independent repair shops are owned by people of color and because high-cost repairs hit low-paid consumers harder.12．What problem does the author discuss in paragraph 2?A. Electronic products’ quality is low.B. The repair market makes little money.C. The prices of new devices keep rising.D. Customers have difficulty repairing devices.13．What is the US government’s attitude to the “Right to Repair” movement?A. Doubtful.B. Uncaring.C. SupportiveD. Concerned.14．In writing paragraph 4, the author aims to ________.A. provide a solutionB. reach a conclusionC. give background informationD. introduce a new topic for discussion15．What can we learn about the movement from the last paragraph?A. It may especially benefit the poor.B. It will help reduce production costs.C. It was started by communities of color.D. It is supported by authorized repair shops.二、七选五16．We often try to save money for a variety of different reasons. It might be to save up for a new computer or put money aside into a rainy-day fund. ①_________, but a recent study showed that over half of all 22~29-year-olds living in the UK have no savings at all. Did they max out on too many things, or are there other factors? And how can we become better savers?First, put a stop to those impulse buys. ②_________, even if it is on sale or looks like a bargain. Impulse buys are done in the heat of the moment and without thought for what it’scosting you. Encouraging yourself to question your purchase before you buy allows you to process what you are doing.③_________. Withdraw cash before you go to a restaurant or shopping and set a fixed budget you must stick to. Also, any change that comes from your transactions when you’re using cash can be put in jar and deposited into your account.Finally, be disciplined. ④_________. It’s about sticking to it, too. You shouldn’t be dipping into your savings every time you feel like it. Setting up a standing order from your current account into your savings the moment you receive your salary will ensure you keep up the habit. ⑤_________.Just as the old saying goes: “A penny saved is a penny earned.” These are some of the actions we can take to help us all become better savers.A. Learning how to save is importantB. Ask about discounts and pay in cashC. It’s no t just about creating that budgetD. Sometimes, saving money can be difficultE. Another way is to use cash rather than cardF. Ask yourself if you really need to buy somethingG. Successful savers stick to their plans and watch the money pile up三、完形填空（15空）A woman is volunteering in ashelter.

江苏省兴化中学2024届高三上学期10月月考英语试卷(含答案)
江苏省兴化中学2024届高三上学期10月月考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解This year, an unusual eight-day-long holiday will mark both the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. Here are the upcoming films designed to entertain audiences during the break.The Volunteers: To the WarThe V olunteers: To the War, directed by Chen Kaige, boasts an all-star cast, shows the sacrifices made by China’s People’s V olunteer Army during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953). Production took over a year and involved a monumental scale. No other film captures the National Day spirit quite like it. The film hits Chinese screens on Sept. 28.Under the LightThe crime drama Under the Light, directed by Zhang Yimou, also boasts an all-star cast.

The narrative centers on a conceited (自负的) basketball coach assigned to train a team of players with learning disabilities as part of his community service. Lose to Win opens across China on Sept. 28.Moscow MissionMoscow Mission, an explosive action film by Herman Yau, follows a cross-border manhunt, showing a horrible robbery and rape on a Moscow-bound train from Beijing.

Moscow Mission debuts in Chinese theaters on Sept. 29.1．Which film will most probably attract audiences on the National Day?A. The V olunteers: To the WarB. Under the LightC. Lose to WinD. Moscow Mission2．What do the films by Zhang Yimou and Herman Yau have in common?A. They have an all-star cast.B. They reflect the directors’ creativity.C. They are based on real life events.D. They are released on the same day.3．What is special about Lose to Win?A. It is a tragedy.B. It is about conceited basketball players.C. It is a new version.D. It takes five years to shoot.I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda, and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbo oks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.4．What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety?A. He drowned it in chocolate.B. He escaped into a fantasy world.C. He slept on the sofa leisurely.D. He conducted an experiment.5．What does the author mean by the underlined part in Paragraph 2?A. Reading novels was a waste of time.B. Reading a good book was time well spent.C. He was too busy to take good care of his books.D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.6．How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author?A. More sympathy went out to him.B. His moral values were strengthened.C. He learned much about religious diversity.D. He gained new insight into his academic discipline.7．What does the author think of the impact reading fiction books has on himself ?A. OverestimatedB. UnderestimatedC. FavourableD. TemporaryYou’re passed over for a job. Your back aches. Faced with difficulties large and small, you wonder if you’re an unlucky person. We turned to experts to understand why we believe in luck and how we can have that belief to make changes in our attitude towards life.Richard Wiseman, a psychology professor, doesn’t believe there’s anything magical about luck —it won’t help you or hurt you. “On the other hand, considering yourself lucky or unlucky is a way of seeing yourself, which has an impact on how you behave and how you think, and becomes a self-fulfilling antici pation,” he says. “So, in a sense, it absolutely does exist.”The sociology lecturer Vik Loveday interviewed academic employees who were on temporary contracts, an uncertain situation that caused anxiety. In general, when one of these academics learned about good news concerning their careers, such as getting a permanent job, they would attribute it to luck. Because they felt they had so little control, a move in a positive direction happened almost by accident, rather than as the result of hard work.In a 2021 study, Professor Woolley has looked at this idea in children and adulthood. For example, basketball player Michael Jordan would wear his college practice shorts under his National Basketball Association uniform for good luck. “Obviously, it’s that the superstitious (迷信的) custom gives him confidence and then he plays better,” Woolley says.Is it possible to change your attitude towards luck to get better outcomes? Wiseman believes some steps can improve your luck. He has found “lucky people not only max imize opportunities and know where they’re heading, but often they change course depending on how the wind is going”. Lucky people can also transform bad experiences to good.Specifically, you can shift your focus towards the positive by keeping a “luck diary”. Also don’t be a creature of habit. Watch a different TV program, speak to different people — even small shifts can be effective.8．What does Wiseman say about luck in paragraph 2?A. It might be wise to try one’s luck.B. Luck is a magical force to control us.C. The belief in luck influences our behavior.D. People’s well-being is determined by luck.9．What is the example of Jordan’s lucky shorts used for?A. Confirming Loveday’s study.B. Showing luck exists in real life.C. Disapproving Woolley’s r esearch.D. Comparing different lucks in sports.10．How can we improve our luck according to the last paragraph?A. Getting into a routine.B. Sticking to a goal firmly.C. Setting down terrible things.D. Making changes flexibly.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Less Anxiety, More LuckB. Good or Bad Luck? Up to YouC. One Can Stay Lucky Through LifeD. Genius — the Mother of Good LuckWhile Huawei’s official website does not call Mate 60 Pro a 5G smartphone, the phone’s wideband capabilities are on par with other 5G smartphones, raising a related question: As a leader in 5G technology, has Huawei managed to develop a 5G smartphone on its own?The answer is not simple. Huawei, as a pioneer in global 5G communication equipment, has played a leading role in the commercialization of 5G technology, with its strong system design and fields such as baseband chips (基带芯片), baseband processors and 5G modems.However, basebands and modems are not the only aspects that define 5G wireless communication. The stability and high-quality signals of a 5G smartphone also depend on other critical components such as RF transceivers (射频收发器) and RF front ends and antennas (天线) . These components are largely dominated by four US high-tech giants—Qualcomm, Avago Technologies, Ansem and Qorvo—which account for a surprising global market share.Huawei has faced significant challenges in getting critical components because of the sanctions imposed by the United States which are primarily responsible for the inability of the Chinese company to launch 5G smartphones in the past three years. However, Mate 60 Pro, despite not being labeled a 5G device, exhibits mobile network speeds comparable to Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices, offering a stable communication experience. This suggests Huawei has, over the past three years, overcome the 5G development and production limits due to the US sanctions by cooperating with domestic partners, and establishing an independent and controllable stable supply chain.Considering that Huawei has not explicitly marketed this device as a 5G smartphone, it is possible that it is yet to fully overcome some key core technological and componential shortcomings. For the time being, we can consider Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro as 4.99G. But when combined with the satellite communication capabilities of Mate 60 Pro, it is clear Huawei has been trying to find more advanced wireless communication solutions for smartphones and making significant progress in this attempt. This should be recognized as a remarkable endeavor, even a breakthrough.12．What do the underlined words “on par with” mean in Paragraph 1?A. as poor as.B. as good as.C. worse than.D. better than.13．Why was it tough for Huawei to develop a 5G smartphone three years ago?A. Its system design and fields needed to be updated.B. It only focused on the commercialization of 5G technology.C. It was unwilling to cooperate with high-tech giants in America.D. It lacked critical components mainly controlled by US high-tech giants.14．What does Paragraph 4 centre on?A. The US sanctions.B. Critical components.C. Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices.D. Progress in Mate 60 Pro.15．What is the text mainly about?A. Huawei faced with significant challengesB. Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro—a 5G smartphoneC. Huaw ei’s Mate 60 Pro—a remarkable breakthroughD. Huawei leading in global 5G communication equipment二、七选五16．Professor Zhu Yunxia, an award-winning researcher and educator at the University of Queensland and has an international reputation in cross-cultural management and strategy,believes that anyone can learn to overcome cultural barriers with the right approach. She offers the following suggestions.Be prepared for surprises.One country might contain different cultures—China, for example, is composed of 56 ethnic groups—and within these, people may act in different ways in different contexts and with different groups of people. ①_________②_________While speaking the language is not necessary to understand the culture, it is important to know basic greetings and courtesies (客气话) for social interaction such as “hello” and “thank you”. These everyday phrases and rituals (礼节) are entry points which allow you to access the culture. People will also appreciate that you have made the effort.Learn to “make strange”.In day-to-day life, we tend to take many of our own customs and behaviors for granted without recognizing that these might appear odd from others’ point of view. ③_________ Use a “cultural bridge”.The customs of another culture can be too strange or too foreign to understand. ④_________ “Cultural bridges” are people whose knowledge enriches our own and who can help us understand what’s going on. Having arrived a s a Chinese student, Dr. Zhu has spent over 20 years in Australia but still sometimes seeks a second opinion from her daughter who was brought up here and occasionally calls up old friends for advice in China.Don’t focus on yourself.⑤_________ Instead of giving in to thoughts such as “I’m a stranger in a foreign land” or “Nobody talks to me”, try to forget yourself and focus on others. By taking a more positive approach, you can even find ways to use cultural differences to your advantage.A. Learn the“cultural grammar”.B. Consequently, wait for the unexpected.C. Develop and expand cooperative awareness.D. Sometimes an “insider” can help us to bridge the gap.E. Be open-minded and always try to aim for a win-win situation.F. Being too self-conscious can harm your ability to interact and learn.G. Learn to look at situations with fresh eyes, starting with our own culture.三、完形填空（15空）Julia, a 27-year-old TikTok user from Chicago, has been making dresses that hergrandmother designed at fashion school to share on the platform.According to Julia, her grandma, Georgie, went to fashion school in the 1940s and dreamed of being a fashion designer, but 1 before completing her studies because she needed to 2 some sick family members.One day in 2021, when Julia was visiting her grandma, 3 old sketches (草图) of dresses that Georgie designed when she was a teenager, she thought they were 4 .“I knew my grandma was 5 , but these are really much better than what I was 6 in my head.

黑龙江省哈尔滨市第三中学校2024-2025学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解These beautiful reading spots rank among the top 10 of the world’s 50 best libraries and are the inhabitants of your favorite fictional world.Women’s Library, GlasgowRows of books on women’s issues throughout history line the shelves of the only official museum in the UK dedicated to women’s lives, histories and achievements. A number of events across the year transform this library into a living social hub by providing creative writing classes, performance groups and craft sessions. Its key aim is to support women, with services teaching literacy, calculations, and handling a range of issues which include poverty, and surviving violence.Sir Duncan Rice Library, AberdeenThe outside of the modern facility is a huge glass structure made of 760 glass panels and 2.200 tons of steel. Sir Duncan Rice is also conscious of its carbon footprint, designed to collect rainwater which is reused to flush its toilets, harvesting power through solar cells on the roof and using timers to control the use of its fluorescent lighting.Wellcome Reading Room, LondonSpend an afternoon studying in the Reading Room of London’s Wellcome Museum and you may just find yourself immersed in literature. With drawing classes and static artistic displays accompanying rows of educational books, it’s an enjoyable spot to visit and revisit. The impressive stairway and desks are allowing you the perfect spot to pause and reflect, whatever your library mission.John Ryland, ManchesterCreated over 100 years ago, it has grown to become the third largest academic library in the UK, home to over a million manuscripts. Modern extensions to the building added since the 2000s create a breath-taking collision of historic and modern architecture. Regular events planned with the whole family in mind make this library one to visit time and time again.1．What do we know about Women’s Library?A．It is a good place for women to escape violence.B．It serves as the only official museum in Glasgow.C．It promotes women’s education and social contact.D．It boasts various events and a long history.2．Where can you attend classes and view exhibitions?A．In Women’s Library.B．In Sir Duncan Rice Library.C．In Wellcome Reading Room.D．In John Ryland Library.3．What do John Ryland Library and Sir Duncan Rice Library have in common?A．Eco-friendly technologies.B．Events intended for family.C．Extensive collection.D．Special architectural design.The idea of climbing Mt.Qomolangma disgusted me. The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry. Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether I’d climb Mt. Qomolangma, my answer was always the same: not interested.That was probably where my personal Mt. Qomolangma story would have ended, were it not for an old friend Thom Pollard and his obsession (迷恋) with one of the greatest mysteries. In 1999, he began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who disappeared while he was attempting to be the first to climb Mt. Qomolangma. But Mallory’s partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were not found. The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924.Pollard’s story moved me. I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment would make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrong. On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired than I’d ever been in any climbing. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. My search was in vain, but I began to reconsider Mt. Qomolangma.I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists. We shared route information, weather forecasts, and family photos—all united around a common goal.I went to Mt. Qomolangma to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Mt. Qomolangma.4．Why did the author once hate climbing Mt. Qomolangma?A．Because the mountain was overcrowded.B．Because his original climbing goal changed.C．Because climbing it became a profit-driven industry.D．Because he had to brave the elements on the mountain.5．What motivated the author to climb Mt. Qomolangma later?A．The influence of Thom Pollard.B．The results of the previous climbing.C．The development of advanced equipment.D．The spirit of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine.6．What does the underlined phrase “tipped my hat” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Relieved my tiredness.B．Showed my respect.C．Expressed my gratitude.D．Proved my determination.7．What message does the passage mainly convey?A．The search for missing adventurers holds great value.B．Modern climbing lacks respect for the natural environment.C．Spirits of the climbers of Mt. Qomolangma are worth respect.D．Experienced climbers are qualified to conquer Mt. Qomolangma.A strange sound called “biotwang” was first heard bouncing around the Mariana Trench 10 years ago, and scientists have finally figured out where it comes from.Recorded by microphones deep in the ocean, the unexplained sound — a low, loud moan (哼声) followed by a mechanical echo, like a frog burping (打嗝) in space — thundered through a computer speaker about a decade ago. Confused researchers called it the “biotwang”.“You’ve got this low-frequency portion, like a moan,” says Lauren Harrell, a data scientist at Google Research’s AI for Social Good, adding her own impression of a hearty sigh. “Then youhave the higher-frequency component that sounds, to me, like an outer planet spacecraft — the ‘bip boo, bip boo’ sound.”Confirming which marine animal makes a strange noise isn’t easy, though: it requires a person on a boat to see and identify the source at exactly the same time the sound is heard. “It takes a lot of time, a lot of effort and a fair amount of luck,” Allen says.An international team headed by Allen, marine biologist from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, and Harrell conducted a collaborative research in 2020. While surveying whales off the Mariana Islands, Allen and other researchers saw a mysterious species called the Bryde’s whale 10 times. These whales are spread out far across the huge open ocean, so it’s hard for scientists to observe or study them. On nine of the occasions that Bryde’s whales turned up, the researchers also heard the biotwang. “Once, it’s a coincidence,” Allen says. “Twice is happenstance. Nine times, it’s definitely a Bryde’s whale.”After identifying the source, they reviewed years of audio data from underwater hydrophones to find out where this specific whale sound had previously been heard. “Once scientists know where and when these whales travel,” Harrell says, “AI models could connect that data to climate and environmental factors and thus support protection efforts.”The technology isn’t perfect, though. “These algorithms (算法) can only search for a frequency they know,” says Harrell. “The Bryde’s whale vocalizations change over time and between populations. But because the tools are open-source, other scientists can use them to discover more about whale language. We seem to be so disconnected from, or simply have no access to this amazing underwater world of sound,” he says. “I think it’s about time that we change that.”8．Why is it difficult to identify the source of biotwang?A．Because years of audio data need to be analyzed.B．Because enough time and a right moment are a must.C．Because researchers lack a knowledge of marine animals.D．Because biotwang alternates with low and high frequency9．What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A．Who solved the biotwang mystery.B．When the Bryde’s whale usually appeared.C．How the source of biotwang was determined.D．Why the Bryde’s whale was difficult to observe.10．What is Harrell’s attitude toward their team’s discovery?A．Ambiguous.B．Objective.C．Unconcerned.D．Disapproving. 11．What can be the suitable title for the passage?A．Mystery of Biotwang Finally SolvedB．AI Algorithms Applied in Biotwang ResearchC．Singer of the Deep Ocean — Bryde’s WhaleD．Protection of the Deep Ocean — A Long Way to Go“It won’t forgive your mistakes,” wrote Valentin Lebedev, an astronaut, in his diary. “Even eating becomes more complicated. You must be careful and rely on sealed containers and specialized utensils to open packages. Spills can be dangerous as food particles or liquids might float into equipment or get into your eyes or nose.” Enough to say the anxiety of an altogether different order in zero gravity.What’s worse, in space, no one can hear you scream about travel delays. When will I get back? Such is the dilemma of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, two astronauts who have been stranded (被滞留的) on the International Space Station (ISS) since docking there on June 6, 2024. NASA does not like that word. As one official insisted, “I want to make it very clear that Butch and Suni are not stranded in space.”Mr Wilmore and Ms Williams arrived at the ISS aboard the first crewed flight of Boeing’s Starliner. What was meant to be an eight-day stay is approaching the three-month mark after their capsule leaked helium (氦) and five of its 28 engines malfunctioned. That has delayed their return, possibly until February 1, 2025. Precisely what happens now depends on whether NASA thinks Starliner is safe — tests are ongoing — or whether they are better off getting a ride home on a flight operated by Boeing’s competitor, SpaceX. A decision should come soon.The next SpaceX Dragon capsule is due to dock at the ISS in September and return to Earth next year. If it is to make room for Mr Wilmore and Ms Williams, it will go up with two crew members instead of its usual four. That would require Starliner to leave the ISS uncrewed. Boeing says this is not currently possible owing to software issues.As it is, the engineering fault is a shame for Boeing and NASA．If crewed Starliner flights are unworkable, that will put paid to NASA’s ambition for competition in the task of ferrying astronauts to the space station and back to Earth. Now SpaceX looks like the only American game in town capable of getting to and from the ISS.Having a mission prolonged unexpectedly, which sometimes happens, means missing out on changes big and small. Sergei Krikalev spent five extra months on the Mir space station when earthlings got distracted by the breaking up of the Soviet Union. He came back to a whole new world in 1992.12．Which of the following best describes Valentin’s feeling in the diary?A．Amused but fragile.B．Uncomfortable and tense.C．Disturbed but magical.D．Restless and tolerant.13．When did Starliner plan to return at first?A．June 6, 2024.B．June 14, 2024.C．September 6, 2024.D．February 1, 2025.14．What do we know about NASA according to the text?A．It should have made massive investment for Starliner.B．It prefers cooperation with Space X instead of Boeing.C．It is giving a test to fix gas leak and an engineering fault.D．It denied the delayed flight in protection of its reputation.15．What does the last paragraph imply?A．A stranded flight caused Soviet Union to break up.B．What’s in store for Butch and Suni remains to be seen.C．Astronauts will see a whole new world when they return.D．Soviet Union’s spacecraft technology was no better than NASA’s.Always the Outsider?One of the things I used to fear was being the new girl in the office — in the kitchen making coffee while the in-crowd chatted about the weekend. I worried that I wasn’t good enough or smart enough. 16 I’d struggle for words while trying to look cool. Back at school, I was best friends with Kate and Cathy until we had to walk across the road in twos, and guess whowas left out? I’ve always been the outsider from school days to office life. Or is that the story I have told myself?As in so many areas of life, the only thing you can control is your response. I remind myself of what Eleanor Roosevelt said: No one can make you feel lower without your agreement. 17 These are the lessons I have learned along the way ：·Starting anywhere new, you just have to find your people, the ones that get you. 18 It’s OK to take your time and figure out if you’re the right fit for each other. Have faith that you will find the right people for you.·Very often it’s our belief systems that tell us we don’t fit in. We are replaying the stories from childhood and need to rewrite the script (剧本). 19 For example, when are you assuming that you’ll be on your own? What fears are you projecting onto yourself?·Practice self-acceptance. Remind yourself that it’s OK to have a different way of operating in the world.· 20 Never forget that while you might be trying to fit in, you should never try to be anybody but yourself.A．Don’t over-think people or situation.B．Don’t charge into friendships, though.C．Start noticing your patterns of mentality.D．If I was asked a question, panic would set in.E．The only person making you feel like an outsider is you.F．The feeling of being an outsider would force me to shut up.G．We all feel a little lost and awkward sometimes — you’re not alone.二、完形填空I’ve been barefoot in London every day since March last year.

山东省潍坊市大联考2024-2025学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题
山东省潍坊市大联考2024-2025学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Mathematics for Computer ScienceThis subject offers an introduction to discrete mathematics(离散数学)oriented toward computer science and engineering.Course Meeting TimesLectures:3 sessions/week, 1. 5 hour/session Problem Sets (psets)Problem sets account for 20% of the final grade. Making a reasonable effort on the problem sets is, for most students, crucial for mastering the course material. Problem sets are designed to be completed in at most 3 hours; the time is monitored through student reports. Online Feedback ProblemsOnline problems to be completed before most class meetings are posted on the class website. These consist of straightforward questions that provide useful feedback about the assigned material. Some students prefer to try the online problems before reading the text or watching videos as an advance guide to going over the material; that’s fine. Watching designated videos, or at least looking at the lecture-slide handouts, is generally helpful but optional.Like team problem-solving in class, online problems are graded only on participation: Students receive full credit as long as they try the problem, even if their answer is wrong. Online feedback problems account for 10% of the final grade. Midterm ExamsThree 80-minute midterm exams will be given. The midterm exams each account for 15%of the final grade.Midterm questions will typically be variations of prior problems from class and psets, and the best way to prepare is to review on the published solutions to these problems. The first exam covers all previous weeks’ material;subsequent exams focus on the material after the previous exam. Final ExamThere will be a three-hour final exam. This exam is worth 25% of the final class grade. The final exam will cover the entire subject with somewhat greater emphasis on material from after Midterm 3. Most exam questions will be variants of problems assigned during the term(psets,class, midterm, and online). It may include a few questions which combine topics that were originally covered separately.1．What determines students’ grade in Online Feedback Problems?A．Active involvement.B．Submission time.C．Accuracy of answers.D．Completion of assignments2．What is the main focus of the final exam?A．Variants of problem sets.B．Combined topics in class.C．The content after midterm exams.D．The whole-term course materials. 3．Which of the following weighs the most in the final grade?A．Final Exam.B．Midterm Exams.C．Problem Sets.D．Online Feedback ProblemsIt all started with a simple question;“Can I paint your portrait (肖像)?”In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson was reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by a homeless man. Inspired by the book, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris who failed to pursue a career in music and ended up being homeless.“I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year, had overgrown fingernails, and probably hadn’t had a shower in close to a year. ”Even though Peterson hadn’t pioked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he asked if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris said yes.Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Working from a black-and-white photo of the subject, Peterson chooses colors inspired by the subject’s personality and life story, creating an impressive portrait.Peterson sells the striking artwork, signed by both subject and artist, dividing the proceeds and putting half into what he calls a“love account”for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. Many of Peterson’s new friends use the donations to secure immediate necessities. But Peterson has learned not to make assumptions about what a personneeds most. “I’ve made a mistake thinking I knew what people wanted, ” he says, “but why don’t we just ask them?”Peterson has discovered that there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who’s down and out. The buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now, ’ ”Peterson says.4．What brought Peterson and Faris together?A．Beauty on Faris’ face.B．Inspiration from a book.C．Peterson’s passion for art.D．Faris’ suffering in his life.5．What does the underlined word “mistake” in paragraph 5 refer to?A．Selling the homeless’ portraits for profits.B．Giving instant necessities to the homeless.C．Asking the homeless for their needs directly.D．Taking what the homeless want for granted.6．What does Peterson imply in the last paragraph?A．The homeless are gaining more concern.B．The life of the homeless is different now.C．Buyers value friendship with the homeless.D．Figures in Peterson’s paintings are popular.7．What can we learn from this text?A．A good model is key to a fine artwork.B．An expected decision makes a great artist.C．A picture really is worth a thousand words.D．Each unfortunate person has his own misfortune.The Malagasy baobab tree, whose thick trunks and tiny branches dot Madagascar’s landscape, should not, by rights, have survived to the present day. Scientists believe that its large seeds were once spread by the giant tortoises and lemur monkeys that wandered the island. When these species went extinct over one thousand years ago owing to human activity, the baobab treeshould have disappeared too. It did not. Seheno Andriantsaralaza at the University of Antananarivo and Onja Razafindratsima at the University of California, now think they may know the reason why.Together with their colleagues, the scientists monitored 15 tree canopies (树冠) in a western region of Madagascar, to identify any animals that might have claimed the role of baobab-seed spread. The researchers also set up camera traps around seed-containing fruits lying on the ground, and searched any faeces (粪便) that they encountered along the way for the presence of seeds.They report in the journal Biotropica that a native rodent (啮齿动物) known as the western bunch-tailed rat was caught on camera handling whole fruits on four occasions. Although there was no footage of the rat breaking the fruits open, the team did chance upon 13 fruits that had been chewed into and had their seeds removed. Though the bite marks were not clear enough to identify an initiator, this was clear evidence that a seed- distributing animal was out there. They then found the ecological equivalent of a smoking gun:baobab seeds in seven different piles of bush-pig faces.While the finding is important in its own right, it also provides valuable evidence that introduced species may not be entirely harmful. Madagascar’s pigs, for example, though not native, have made themselves essential to the survival of truly native species. Similar relationships are suspected to hold in South America between rabbits native to Europe and plants with no seed distributors. For Dr Andriantsaralaza, that suggests the full ecological role of introduced species should be considered before talk of extinction begins.8．What made scientists think the baobab tree should have disappeared?A．The extinction of its seed spreader.B．The destruction of human activitiesC．The inadaptation of the baobab tree.D．The increase of its natural enemies. 9．What are camera traps used for?A．Seeking seed-containing fruits.B．Tracking the footprints of seeds.C．Recording the animals’ activities.D．Monitoring the baobab tree canopies. 10．Which is most probably the seed-eater according to the report?A．The giant tortoise B．The bunch-tailed rat.C．The European rabbit.D．The bush-pig.11．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To introduce a new way to protect the baobab tree.B．To show non-native species are not always harmful.C．To compare different kinds of seed-distributing methods.D．To explain the importance of protecting endangered species.The concepts of delayed satisfaction, self-control, and self-regulation are often used interchangeably and inconsistently. The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction.Studies show that delayed satisfaction is one of the most effective personal characteristics of successful people. People who learn how to manage their need to be satisfied in the moment develop more in their careers, relationships, health, and finances than people who give in to it.Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. Choosing to have something now might feel good, but making the effort to have discipline and manage your impulses can result in bigger or better rewards in the future. Over time, delayed satisfaction will improve your self-control and ultimately help you achieve your long-term goals faster.The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time. Every day that you delay satisfaction and avoid temptation (诱惑) , you cross it off your calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy works well for people who enjoy gamification (游戏化). If you find it satisfying to keep the chain going, you’re less likely to give in to temptation.Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it?If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do. When you notice yourself doing something out of habit, stop for a moment. Ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. Take some time to analyze how you’re feeling. Pay attention to the details. Take a moment of mindulness to interrupt your autopilot every time this happens. The more you practice this, the more you’ll break the habit of going for instant satisfaction.12．What is delayed satisfaction?A．Making quick decisions.B．Giving in to desires instantly.C．Immediate rewards for impulses.D．Postponing rewards for better outcomes. 13．Why is delayed satisfaction hard to attain?A．It can lead to missed opportunities B．It’s bad for achieving long-term goals.C．It’s impossible to resist the inner needs D．It’s a comfort to possess something at once. 14．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．The complexity of the Seinfeld Strategy B．An example of self-discipline techniques.C．A method of practicing delayed satisfaction.D．The effectiveness of keeping the chain going.15．What does the author suggest people do for returning temptations?A．Ignore useless details.B．Get rid of old bad habits.C．Concentrate on true inner wants.D．Cancel temptations from the calendar.Facing hard things is, well, hard. Sometimes we are forced to simply shift, such as with a loss or failure; however, much of the time, we may recognize the difficulties underneath that need attention but feel too overwhelmed to address them. 16 The difficulties might be an outdated habit, a troubling memory or a long- ignored conflict.Some individuals fool themselves into thinking there really is not a problem. It’s like someone trying to hold active mice under a blanket by holding down the edges of the moving blanket. Pulling back the blanket to let the mice out is needed, despite being terrifying. Once the mice are released, there may be further challenges to get them out of the house. 17 People often encounter similar problems. Avoiding or leaving the situation appears to fix the problem but fails to tackle the underlying cause. Rather than repeatedly cutting weeds, getting down on the ground and pulling the roots is more effective. Facing issues is like uncovering roots for new beginnings to blossom. 1819 It feels like a balled-up mess of wires. Pulling hard at only one wire actually tightens the knot. We have to take a calmer look and pull apart each wire one at a time. We can’t expect the wires to loosen or unwind themselves. 20 Nevertheless, once they have been freed, they can sometimes be separated, put aside, and used as needed. A．They are just there and part of the chaos.B．And humans are masters of avoidance and denial.C．The overall benefits from tough work enable growthD．Making changes in one’s life is hard and complicated.E．Sadly, it often worsens when we approach it with anger.F．However, problems cannot be faced if they are not first recognized.G．Quick fixes might provide relief in the short term but often not in the long term.二、完形填空Madeline sat on her bed and tried to write.

Joe closed the book immediately, trying to hide his drawing. I said, “Let me3 what I said yesterday: these textbooks are going to be used for the next five years, and I4 you to take good care of them.” “Sorry,” Joe murmured. “I forgot.” “I see.” I said.When I returned to Joe’s desk again, he was erasing the drawing with his tiny, worn-out eraser.

四川省绵阳南山中学2024届高三上学期10月月考英语试卷(含答案)
四川省绵阳南山中学2024届高三上学期10月月考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解settle down with a new book, or use roving libraries to bring books to hard-to-reach populations. No matter how they achieve it, these novel libraries are keeping the magic of reading alive.Bishan Library (Singapore)Built in 2006, this library with skylights and trellises, is meant to invoke a modern glass treehouse. Glass pods of varying colors stick out of the building randomly to create cozy yet airy corners for reading throughout the building. At the same time, a more open-plan children's room on the basement level invites interaction while preventing noise from filtering upward and disturbing those concentrating in the lofty perches above.Stuttgart City Library (Stuttgart, Germany)Opened in 2011, this nine–story public library is characterized by its attractive white color scheme (lit by blue light at night), its bold cubic shape. This cultural center for the city, designed to feel open and full of light, can be entered from any of its four sides, and people can borrow artwork as well as books.The Camel Library Service (North Eastern Province, Kenya)To combat low literacy rates in the desert of Kenya, the government created a roaming library composed of nine camels bringing books to villages. The library travels four days a week serving the region's nomadic people. With more funding, they plan to increase their reach both in distance and the books they carry.Macquarie University Library (Sydney, Australia)A wonderful combination of cutting-edge and sustainable ideas, this building was made from recycled materials, features a green roof, and was designed to look like the shape of a eucalyptus tree. It is also state of the art, using robot cranes to bring requested books to the front desk.1、Which of the following can offer the service of lending artwork?A.Stuttgart City Library.B. Bishan Library.C. The Camel Library Service.D. Macquarie University Library.2、What can we know about the Macquarie University Library?A. It is like a modern glass treehouse with skylights.B. It has a green roof and a eucalyptus tree outside.C. It is intelligent and environmentally-friendly.D. It opens four days a week serving the local people.3、According to the passage, the four libraries are all designed to _____.A. prevent noiseB. encourage readingC. recycle old booksD.present beautiful appearancesWhen the designer and typographer (排印工) Marcin Wichary chanced upon a tiny museum just outside Barcelona five years ago, the experience tipped his interest in the history of technology into an obsession with a very particular part of it: the keyboard.“I have never seen so many typewriters under one roof. Not even close,” he shared on the Internet at the time. “At this point, I literally have tears in my eyes. I’m not kidding. This feels like a miracle.”He’d had a discovery while wandering through the exhibit: Each key on a keyboard has its own stories. And these stories are not just about computing technology, but also about the people who designed, used, or otherwise interacted with the keyboards.Take the backspace key for example, he explains, “I like that the concept of backspace was originally just that — a space going backward. We are used to it erasing now, but for a hundred years, erasing was its own incredibly complex effort. You needed to master a Comet eraser, or Wite-Out, or strange correction tapes, and possibly all of the above… or give up and start f rom scratch whenever you made a small mistake in typing.”The deeper he researched, the more obsessive he became. Amazed that no comprehensive books existed on the history of keyboards, he decided to create his own. When not working at his day job as the design leader for the design software company Figma, he began producing Shift Happens, a two-volume, 1,216-page hardcover book — and raised over $750,000 for the project on Kickstarter in March of 2023. Wichary was only a bit surprised by the support and th e keyboard’s wide appeal. As he points out. “It’s such a crucial device that occupies a lot of our waking life.”4、Which is the closest understanding of the underlined phrase tipped his interest ________.A.made him lose his interestB. weakened his interestC. publicized his interestD. changed his interest5、What did Wichary discover while admiring the keyboards?A.The wisdom of human.B. The stories behind them.C. The secret of the keyboards.D. The history of technology.6、What does Wichary want to tell us about the backspace key in Paragraph 4?A.It is the outcome of long-term improvement.B.It can be used to move back one space.C.It is a rather simple but powerful key.D.It permits people to make mistakes when typing.7、Why did Wichary write his own book?A. To make money.B. To record history.C. To fill a gap.D. To become a celebrity.Cultivated meat, also known as lab-grown meat, has been cleared for sale in the US.Actually，Lab-grown meat is made by feeding a mix of nutrients to animal cells in steel tanks in labs. The idea is to create an alternative to agriculturally raised meat. And unlike other meat substitutes which are made from plant proteins and other ingredients, lab-grown meat is real meat.Upside Foods and Good Meat, two companie s that make “cultivated chicken”, said that they have gotten approval from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to start producing their cell-based proteins. Good Meat said that production is starting immediately. Cultivated meat is grown in a giant vat (缸), much like what you’d find at a beer factory.Last week both companies revealed that the USDA approved labels for their products. In March, Good Meat received a “no questions” letter from the FDA, confirming the product’s safety for sale in the US. Upside Foods also received one in November. Both the USDA and the FDA are overseeing the growing cultivated meat market. CEO of Good Meat, Josh Tetrick, described the approval as a major milestone for the company, the industry, and the food system. Upside founder Uma Valeti called the approval “a giant step forward towards a more sustainable future”.Good Meat, which has been selling its products in Singapore, advertises its product as “meat without slaughter (屠宰)”, a more humane approach to eating meat. Supporters hope that cultivated meat will help fight climate change by reducing the need for traditional animal agriculture, which emits greenhouse gases. The company previously announced a partnership with chef José Andrés to introduce the product to a Washington DC restaurant, although the launch time remains uncertain. As production increases, Good Meat may explore cooperation with other restaurants or supermarkets.Upside is planning to introduce its product at Bar Crenn, a San Francisco restaurant, but did not share a launch date yet. Selling at Bar Crenn should help Upside learn more about how chefs and diners feel about the product. Eventually, the company plans to work with other restaurants and make its products available in supermarkets. For now, it is holding a contest to allow curious customers to be among the first to try the product.8、What do Upside Foods and Good Meat have in common?A.Both have partnerships with international chefs.B.Both are involved in producing lab-grown meat.C.Both declared a launch date of their cultivated meat.D.Both received FDA approval for worldwide distribution.9、What is the potential benefit of cultivated meat?A.Higher safety for eating.B.Lower costs for restaurants.C.Improvements in traditional animal agriculture.D.Positive impacts on climate change.10、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Diners have access to free products from Upside.B.Curious customers will become the main force of buying.C.Upside will evaluate the responses of chefs and diners to its product.D.Upside will conduct a survey among diners about their paying ability.11、What is the text mainly about?A.The benefits of cultivated meat.B.The research on cultivated meat.C.The history and processing of cultivated meat.D.The approval and prospect of cultivated meat.Consider the possibility that all human technology started with a mistake — or at least a lack of hand-eye coordination. In a new study published on Friday in Science Advances, Lydia Luncz and Tomos Proffitt, both at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, argue that mistakenly created flakes (薄片) may have been our ancient ancestors’or other now-extinct early human relatives “first step toward creating the sharp-edged tools that they used to butcher animals and cut edible plants.To do their research, Luncz and Proffitt traveled to an abandoned oil palm plantation near Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay and collected more than 1, 100 pieces of nut-cracking stonesused by a troop of long-tailed macaques (猕猴). Macaques crack open oil palm nuts by placing them on a flat stone and striking their shell with another stone. These monkeys often miss the nut and accidentally break the stones, producing sharp flakes. Luncz and Proffitt analyzed these stones, which revealed a surprising fact: The flakes that the macaques unintentionally produced looked a lot like the oldest stone tools that were intentionally made by hominins (古人类).Macaques don’t use the sharp flakes they create for anything, Luncz ad ds, noting that the monkeys have sharp teeth and don’t need cutting tools. The similar ancient stone tools collected from some of the earliest known sites, however, show evidence of being used for cutting tasks. For example, in Oldowan, a site dating between 3.3 million and 1.5 million years ago, researchers analyzed use-wear patterns on the tools and found that some of the flakes showed damage along their edges, indicating that they had been used for cutting. Cut marks on some fossils revealed that hominins had used stone tools for butchering the animals, making it clear that the sharp stone tools were anything but unintentional by-products of other pounding activities.Despite the findings, to reveal the mechanism for the emergence of flake technology, researchers still need to learn how hominins made the leap from accidentally producing sharp flakes to picking them up and using them. Luncz and Proffitt hope to find the missing link in further studies.12、What can we learn from paragraph 2?A.The flakes pro duced by macaques were similar to hominins’ stone tools.B.Long-tailed macaques used the flakes to crack open oil palm nuts.C.Macaques deliberately produced flakes for cutting by breaking stones.D.The two researchers went to Thailand and collected 1, 100 flakes.13、Why does the author mention the Oldowan site in paragraph 3?A. To clarify a complex concept.B. To provide specific proof.C.To present an interesting fact.D. To make a detailed comparison.14、What will Luncz and Proffitt probably focus on in their future study?A. Why macaques create flakes.B. Why hominins used stone tools.C. How hominins began using flakes.D. How macaques cut food with flakes.15、What is the best title of the passage?A.Flake technology: from macaques to hominins.B.A mistake: the origin of human technology.C.Pounding activities: on human evolutionary course.D.A missing link: long-tailed macaques create flakes.delay sleep in response to stress or a lack of free time earlier in the day.

Instead,each bag came with a small blue packet of salt____24____(shake)over the contents.Murphy started with artificial flavours of cheese and onion.The pairing is a classic,and the flavour combines well with potatoes.“Potatoes,”____25____(write)Seamus Heaney, one of Ireland’s greatest poets,“promise the taste of ground and root”.The ____26____(poetic)might describe them as a bit plain.Sprinkled with the salty umami(鲜味) of Murphy’s seasoning,however,they became a cut-price sensation.Taytos remain the classic Irish crisp,but now they are available elsewhere,____27____, of course,many other brands of flavoured crisps are.That is a mixed blessing.Once upon a time even industrially produced foods had a limited range.To travel was to discover not only the cooking in other places,but the snacks.Going to France was a chance to chug(一饮而尽)a bottle of Orangina,a fizzy drink.For me,Taytos were____28____once-a-year treat, to be eaten on a beach in south-west Ireland shivering after an icy swim or sweating at the top of a mountain.Thanks to a globalised food system and the appetites of homesick migrants,such items are now available far beyond their lands of origin.That shift results in the loss of a modest joy.At first glance a bag of Taytos is the opposite of a seasonal or local food.____29____(enclose)in their silvery plastic,they survive in all seasons and locales.And yet,for me at least,these potato snacks are entangled with their Irish roots.The ingenious seasoning should taste no different____30____I am in a London park or in Murphy’s homeland.But somehow it does.(B)Are you afraid of getting old?____31________31________31____we get past the age of25,many of us immediately feel the urge to stop the signs of ageing—especially the visible ones.Men and women are now using topical“anti-ageing”creams,spa treatments and medical procedures____32____(counter)many of them.____33____these methods can somewhat affect the way you look,ageing is an internal process.A new study has found exactly when during your lifetime this process peaks.A group of scientists based out of the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered that____34________34____being a smooth,continuous process,ageing surges forward at three distinct stages of life:first,at the age of34,then at age60,and finally at78.The study,published in Nature Medicine,reveals that scientists can not only predict your age by studying the proteome(protein levels in the blood)but also determine which organs are ageing faster than____35________35____,and which age-related diseases your body is more likely to develop.The study measured plasma proteins(血浆蛋白) collected from4,263adults between the ages of18-95years and studied the changes in the proteome that occurred with age.Their ultimate goal was to understand how to identify the changes associated with cardiovascular issues and age-related diseases like Alzheimer's____36________36____ therapeutic treatments can be devised to counter their onset while there's still time.Dr Tony Wyss-Coray,one of the leading members of the study,told Stanford Medicine News Center,“We've known for a long time that____37____(measure)certain proteins can give you information about a person's health status—lipoproteins(脂蛋白)for cardiovascular(心血管的)health,for example.But it____38____(not appreciate)that so many different proteins'levels—roughly a third of all the ones we looked at—change markedly with advancing age.”This difference between the chronological(按时间计算的)and physiological(生理的) age,according to the scientists'“plasma-protein clock”,showed that a lot of people in the study seemed younger than they actually are.What's more,the study also confirmed that men and women,though equally____39____(represent)in the study,age differently.Does this mean medications and lifestyle methods,with further research,can also be devised to help____40____ages too rapidly and is at risk of contracting age-related diseases like hypertension and Alzheimer's?You never know.Section B:Directions:Complete the following passages by using the words in the box.Each word can only beIt launched an independent review of security after items including gold jewellery and gems of semiprecious stones and glass dating from the15th century BC to the19th century AD were found to be missing,stolen or damaged.Legal action against the____41____member of staff will be taken and the matter is also being investigated by the economic crime command of the Metropolitan police.George Osborne,the museum’s chair,said:“The trustees of the British Museum were extremely____42____when we learned earlier this year that items of the collection had been stolen.“The trustees have taken____43____action to deal with the situation,working with the team at the museum.We called in the police,imposed emergency measures to increase security,set up an independent review into what happened and lessons to learn,and used all the____44____powers available to us to deal with the individual we believe to be responsible.“Our priority is now threefold:first,to____45____the stolen items;second,to find out what,if anything,could have been done to stop this;and third,to do whatever it takes,with investment in security and collection records,to make sure this doesn’t happen again.“This incident only reinforces the____46____for the reimagination of the museum we have embarked upon.It’s a sad day for all who love our British Museum,but we’re determined to____47____the wrongs and use the experience to build a stronger museum.”Hartwig Fischer,the museum’s director,said:“This is a highly unusual incident.We take the safeguarding of all the items in our care____48____.The museum apologises for what has happened,but we have now brought an end to this–and we are determined to put things right.We have already tightened our security arrangements and we are working alongside outside experts to complete a definitive____49____of what is missing,damaged and stolen.This will allow us to____50____our efforts into our work to ensure the stolen items are returned to the museum.”III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I own a market research company,so I understand the importance of gathering data from your target audience and using that data in order to make product development.I also know that surveys can provide____51____information that's extremely valuable to our clients.But the quality of the data you get as an output from surveys is only as strong as how well you____52____the survey questions.One of the main pitfalls I see teams make is writing leading questions that might get the company results they want to hear,but those results are not always____53____.Below are common ways I've seen companies ask leading questions and how to avoid them:1.Don't make assumptions for your participants.“How well do you think we delivered on your project?”implies your team did a good job.To make it more objective,____54____to ask,“How did we deliver on your project?”It's a subtle change,but the second question takes out the implicit bias.2.Balance the options from which participants can choose.Let's say you want to know the level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction customers have with your product or service.If you ask this in a multiple-choice format,you need to ensure the____55____is balanced for both positive and negative responses.The following options, for example,would not work:•Extremely satisfied•Very satisfied•Satisfied•Somewhat unsatisfied•UnsatisfiedAs a rule of thumb,if you have“extremely”on the positive end,you should have “extremely”on the negative side as well,and give a(n)____56____option in the middle of the scale.3.Don't'lead the witness'(or participant).Again,if you're seeking____57____(and you should have started with knowing why you're conducting the survey in the first place),you don't want to put statements in front of a question that will lead participants to____58____in a certain way.____59____,my company works a lot with educational technology companies.We would never write a question such as this:“Most of the people who use this educational technology product say that the adaptive and personalized nature of the product is better than others on the market.What do you think?”This is because,now,the participant knows exactly what we want them to think.4.Avoid double-barrel questions.Be mindful about including two questions in one and____60____how a participant can respond.Say you ran an event for customers;you wouldn't want to ask,“What do you think about the location and the quality of the speakers?”and then have multiple choice options where they are really only able to respond to one question.They might have loved the venue but hated your presenters.The____61____of the data you gather is compromised when you put questions together.5.Don't write coercive questions.These questions don't sit well.In my experience,they tend to come up more in customer ____62____surveys and employee surveys when you really want to be able to highlight the positives.Examples of coercive questions include:"You'll leave us a positive Google Review,won't you?""You'll tell your friends to visit our restaurant,right?"Naturally,these are full of bias,so they should be avoided____63____.Know what the goals of your survey are.If you want to get data that____64____biases, yes,leading questions can help you get those data points.But the integrity of the data cannot be trusted when you're not writing questions in a(n)____65____way for your participants to answer.51.

A.isolated B.objective C.selected D.reflectiveSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In winter,Hammerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo,though why anyone would wantto go there in winter is a question worth considering.It is on the edge of the world,the northernmost town in Europe,a place of dark and fierce winters,where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks.I wanted to see the Northern Lights...but now as l picked my way through Oslo in late December.I was beginning to have my doubts.Things had not started well.I had overslept at the hotel,missing breakfast,and had to leap into my clothes.I couldn't find a taxi and had to drag my over-weighted bag eight blocks to the central bus station.I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveller's cheques to pay the1,200-kroner bus fare------they simply could not be made to grasp that the William McGuire Bryson on my passport and the Bill Bryson on my traveller's cheques were both me-and now here l was arriving at the station two minutes before departure...and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation.'This isn't happening,'I said.'I'm still at home in England enjoying Christmas...'Actually,I said, 'There must be some mistake.Please look again.'The girl studied the passenger list.'No,Mr Bryson,your name is not here.'But I could see it,even upside-down.'There it is,second from the bottom.''No,'the girl decided,'that says Bernt Bjornson.That's a Norwegian name.''It doesn't say Bernt Bjorson.It says Bill Bryson.Look at the y,the two ls.Miss,please,’But she wouldn't have it.'If I miss this bus,when does the next one go?''Next week at the same time.'Oh,splendid.'Miss,believe me,it says Bill Bryson.''No,it doesn't.''Miss,look,I've come from England.I'm carrying some medicine that could save a child's life.' She didn't buy this.'l want to see the manager.''He's in Stavanger.''Listen,I made a reservation by telephone.If I don't get on this bus,I'm going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects for the rest of this century.'This clearly did not alarm her.Then it struck me.'If this Bemt Bjorson doesn't show up,can l have this seat?''Sure.'Why don't I think of these things in the first place...?'Thank you,'I said...66.What can be learned from the passage about Hammerfest?A.It is located in the South of the city of Oslo.B.It is where the Northern Lights can be seen.C.It remains a town without sufficient power supply.D.It remains in the darkness from November till next March.67.The writer got to the station just two minutes before the train's departure because he spent much time_____.A.cashing his traveller's chequesB.finding a place to have breakfastC.waiting for a taxi to send him thereD.choosing suitable clothes to wear68.By“Oh,splendid”,the writer meant that he actually felt_____.A.puzzledB.amazedC.worriedD.relieved69.Why did the writer say he was carrying some medicine and he would write to the manager?A.To tell the girl what he really wanted to do.B.To show the girl how angry he was with her.C.To warn the girl of the potential consequences.D.To persuade the girl to give him a seat on the bus.(B)Care for a zoom-in observation of animals with no bars between you and the observed as opposed to ordinary zoos?Where to have close-up encounters with some of the world’s most rare animals？We are revealing for you：1.Right whales,Bay of Fundy,CanadaNorthern right whales are on the brink of extinction,but survivors arrive in the Bay of Fundy each summer(May through October)to feed east of Grand Manan Island.They are recognized by a broad back and no dorsal fin,which distinguish them from other whales entering the bay.Planning:Whale-watching tours operate out of Digby Neck peninsula on Nova Scotia and nearby islands,such as Brier Island.St.Andrews.Grand Manan Island.and Deer Island.2.Grizzly bears,AlaskaGrizzlies like salmon.In mid-July and again in mid-August,grizzlies make for Alaskan rivers to hook out the fish with their formidable claws.The bears gather in large numbers at rapids and pools,sometimes fighting for the best sites.Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park,and Fish Creek, near Hyder,have viewing platforms.Planning:Most fishing sites are reached by chartered light aircraft and a hike.Hyder is off the Swart-Cassiar Highway.3.Monarch butterflies,Sierra Chincua,MexicoEach fall,millions of North American monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles to the oyalmel fir forests of the Transvolcanic Mountain Range,in the state of Mchoacdn.They flock intimately(closely)on tree trunks,bushes,and on the ground,fully showing their gregarious natureand occupy Sierra Chincua and four neighbouring hills that make up the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.Planning:Chineua is one of two hills in the reserve open to the public from November through March.4.Komodo dragons,Komodo Island,IndonesiaLanding on Komodo,you would feel like stepping back to a time when dinosaurs ruled the Earth,as park maps reported,“Here be dragons!”This mountainous volcanic island is home to the world's largest living lizard---the Komodo dragon.Weighing79to91kg.the Komodo dragon has a tail as long as its body.You can hike to a viewpoint at Banugulung and watch as park rangers feed food to the lizards,some of which are more than10ft(3m)long.Planning:Komodo is reached solely by boat from Bima(on eastern Sumbawa)or Labuan Bajo (on western Flores).5.Wildebeest migration,Serengeti,TanzaniaUndoubtedly the world's most spectacular wildlife sight is the annual wildebeest migration, when1.4million wildebeest and200,000zebras and gazelles are on the move across the Serengeti plains.The animals are trekking to chase the clean water and fresh grass.Along the way,lions and hyenas stalk them,and crocodiles lie in wait.Planning:The herds migrate across Tanzania from December through July,and then pass through the Masai Mara in Kenya in August and September.70.The underlined word gregarious is closest in meaning to________________.A.being able to climbB.preferring group livingC.migrating in small numbersD.moderate in temper71.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.Right whales are distinguished from other whales by unique appearance features.B.Viewing spots for grizzly bears are accessible by air and on foot.C.Komodo Island is located east of Flores and West of SumbawaD.Wildebeest herds travel to pursue favourable food conditions.72.Li Hua is an adventurous visitor longing for closer look at animals.He is taking a gap year and doing voluntary work now in Indonesia.He will go back to China and further his study next fall. Which of the following will be the most reasonable wildlife-watching route after he finishes his voluntary work this winter?A.Alaska→Bay of Fundy→Sierra Chincua→SerengetiB.Serengeti→Alaska→Bay of Fundy→Sierra ChincuaC.Bay of Fundy→Sierra Chincua→Serengeti→AlaskaD.Sierra Chincua→Serengeti→Alaska→Bay of Fundy(C)Many Americans harbor a false and exaggerated view of most of the risks surrounding food. Fergus Clydesdale,head of the department of food science and nutrition at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst,points out that if the dangers from bacterially polluted chicken were as great as some people believe,“the streets would be littered with people lying here and there.”Though the public increasingly demands no-risk food,there is no such thing.Bruce Ames, chairman of the biochemistry department at the University of California,Berkeley,points out that up to10%of a plant’s weight is made up of natural pesticides.Says he:“Since plants do not have jaws or teeth to protect themselves,they employ chemical warfare.”And many naturally produced chemicals,though occurring in tiny amounts,prove in laboratory tests to be strong carcinogens-a substance which can cause cancer.Mushrooms might be banned if they were judged by the same standards that apply to food additives.Declares Christina Stark,a nutritionist at Cornell University:“We’ve got far worse natural chemicals in the food supply than anything man-made.”Yet the issues are not that simple.While Americans have no reason to be terrified to sit down at the dinner table,they have every reason to demand significant improvements in food and water safety.They unconsciously and unwillingly take in too much of too many dangerous chemicals.If food already contains natural carcinogens,it does not make much sense to add dozens of new man-made ones.Though most people are subject to the small amounts of pollutants generally found in food and water,at least a few individuals will probably get cancer one day because of what they eat and drink.To make good food and water supplies even better,the Government needs to tighten its regulatory standards,enhance its inspection program and strengthen its enforcement policies.The food industry should modify some long-accepted practices or turn to less risky alternatives.Perhaps most important,consumers will have to do a better job of learning how to handle and cook food properly.The problems that need to be tackled exist all along the food-supply chain,from fields to processing plants to kitchens.73.What does the author think of the Americans’view of their food?A.They overstate the government’s interference with the food industry.B.They are overoptimistic about the safety of their food.C.They overestimate the risk of the food they eat.D.They overlook the potential danger caused by the food.74.The author considers it impossible to obtain no-risk food because________.A.no food is free from pollution in the environmentB.pesticides are widely used in agricultureC.many vegetables contain dangerous natural chemicalsD.almost all foods have hazardous additives75.By saying“they employ chemical warfare”(Para.2),Bruce Ames means“________”.A.plants produce certain chemicals to resist pests and diseasesB.plants absorb useful chemicals to promote their growthC.farmers use man-made chemicals to dissolve the natural chemicals in plantsD.farmers use chemicals to protect plants against pests and diseases76.What is the message the author wants to convey in the passage?A.Eating and drinking have become more dangerous than before due to additives.B.Sweeping measures must be taken immediately to ensure safety in food industry.C.Healthy food is a distant dream in the modern society,remaining to be realized.D.There is reason for caution but no cause for alarm with regard to food consumption.Section CDirections: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.A.They differ in how they space the syllables in a sentence.B.Unlike other languages,English is unusually rich in consonant(辅音)clusters.C.French-speakers are familiar with a U.S.city called yoos-TON,not the English HYOO-ston.D.In“civilisation”the primary and secondary stress is on the4th and1st syllable respectively.E.There is much more to learning a foreign accent than the sounds that the letters on the page represent.F.As with chemistry,the important thing is not just how the elements behave in isolation,but how they cometogether.Why you have an accent in a foreign languageOpen a textbook for a foreign language,the first thing you see is an alphabet,listing the lettersand the sounds they represent.This is obviously crucial for unfamiliar systems,say those of Greek or Russian.But even for languages that rely on the Latin alphabet,the guide will explain how accentmarks change a letter’s pronunciation,and strange features such as the-gl-in Italian.And with that,it’s off to master greetings,vocabulary and so on,with little further thought for pronunciation.This is a shame.____87____To begin with,the rough equivalents given in Englishare often quite rough indeed.In French,the p in Paris sounds rather different from the p in English,a contrast often neglected in textbooks:the French version lacks the strong puff of air of the Englishone.Even when textbooks or instructors mention this sort of difference,the next step is often missing.____88____Each language has rules for these combinations,which native speakers generally grasp but don’t or can’t explain.。

You freeze in horrors and burn with shame.What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to recover.Clicking “send” too soonDon’t waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.Writing the wrong nameThe sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured: don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offered, especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture (I.e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).Clicking “reply all” unintentionallyYou accidentally reveal (透露) to entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you’d like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.Sending an offensive message to it’s subjectThe most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person you’re discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly — see it as an opportunity tic hear up any difficulties you may have with this person.36．After realizing an email accident, you are likely to feel _______.A．curious B．tiredC．awful D．funny37．If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ________.A．apologise in a serious mannerB．tell the receiver to ignore the errorC．learn to write the name correctlyD．send a short notice to everyone38．What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all” email?A．Try offering other choices.B．Avoid further involvement.C．Meet other staff members.D．Make a light-hearted apology.39．How should you deal with the problem caused by an offensive email?A．By promising not to offend the receiver again.B．By seeking support from the receiver’s friends.C．By asking the receiver to control his anger.D．By talking to the receiver face to face.40．What is the passage mainly about?A．Defining email errors.B．Reducing email mistakes.C．Handling email accidents.D．Improving email writing.Recently, as I watched my son Nathan playing basketball game, I felt sorry for myself and for him. He was playing in the other team’s home gym filled with their supporters, and Nathan’s team was falling behind for three quarters of the game. As for me, I was dismissed from my job earlier in the day.Watching the difficult situation that my son was experiencing, I remembered that during the drive home earlier in the day, I kept telling myself that “just like last time I experienced this, I’llfind work again in a short time—I’m confident in my experience and abilities and believe in myself.” But then, self-doubt hit me.The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still falling behind. I saw the determination on his, as well as his teammates’ faces as they fought back to not only tie with the other team, but then go ahead by three points. Then, the scores were tied again.With a tie game and seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball, and with skill and confidence, he moved forward to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him. The other player was called for a foul.As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points, I saw the focus and determination on his face; there was no room for self-doubt. He made it, helping his team win the game. Later he told me he didn’t know how he did it because he had lost all feelings in his right arm from being thrown to the floor earlier the game.As my heart burst with pride, I realized something. I had taught my son—perseverance in the face of difficulties, and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was swept away by the actions of my son on the basketball court. He’ll play in the finals, but it doesn’t matter if he wins or loses. On that day, we both won. 41．Why did the author feel sorry?A．He used to be too busy to accompany Nathan.B．Nathan’s team was too weak to compete in the game.C．He had made a big mistake in his work.D．He and Nathan were both going through a hard time.42．What can be inferred about the author?A．He had lost his job more than once.B．He always lacked self-confidence.C．He didn’t know his abilities well.D．He disliked the job he had been doing. 43．How was the last quarter of the game?A．Nathan’s teammates lost hope.B．The other team played casually.C．The game was very fierce at last.D．It ended up with a big score difference. 44．We can learn from the passage that Nathan________.A．had always been the author’s pride and joyB．wouldn’t have won but for the author’sC．wasn’t surprised at the result of the game at allD．played very well in the game despite his injury45．What was the author’s win on that day?A．He found his true passion.B．He overcame his self-doubt.C．He learnt something new from his son.D．He finally won his son’s respect.How loneliness spreadsLoneliness can also spread. A friend of a lonely person was 52 per cent more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. And a friend of that friend was 25 per cent more likely to do the same.Earlier findings showed that happiness, fatness and the ability to stop smoking can also spread within social groups. The findings all come from a major health study in the American town of Framingham, Massachusetts.The study began in 1948 to investigate the causes of heart disease. Since then, more tests have been added, including measures of loneliness and depression.The new findings involved more than 5,000 people in the second generation of the Framingham Heart Study. The researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness. The results established a pattern that spread as people reported fewer close friends.For example, loneliness can affect relationships between next-door neighbors. The loneliness spreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together. The study also found that loneliness spreads more easily among women than men.The average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about forty-eight days a year. The study found that having a lonely friend can add about seventeen days. But every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five per cent, or two and a half days.Lonely people become less and less trusting of others. This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends — and more likely that society will reject them.John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago led the study. He says it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness. He says people who have been pushed to the edges of societyshould receive help to repair their social networks.The aim should be to create what he calls a “protective barrier” against loneliness. This barrier, he says, can keep the whole network from coming apart.46．From the passage we can infer that the research subjects of the Framingham Heart Study_____.A．are all about mental health B．have been added continuallyC．are about the causes of heart disease D．is to create a “protective barrier”47．Tom is a lonely man. He has a wife, a son, a sister and a close friend Mike. According to Paragraph 4, who does the underlined phrase “the second generation” involve?A．Ton’s wife.B．Tom’s son.C．Tom’s sister.D．Mike.48．Why are lonely people difficult to make friends with others?A．Because they have poor communication skills.B．Because they always keep doubtful of others.C．Because they are rejected by others.D．Because they are affected by their friends.49．In John Cacioppo’s opinion, _____.A．lonely people should be given a hand by societyB．the protective barrier should be repaired for lonely peopleC．the number of lonely women is larger than that of menD．it’s impossible for lonely people to make any friends50．In which column can you read this passage in a newspaper?A．This Is America.B．Science in News.C．Explorations.D．Health Report.The mind is a wonderful thing.It’s also excuse-making machine that frequently tries to convince us not to take action we know are good for us.If we hadn't learned about these excuses, or how to overcome them, we would never have succeeded in making these positive changes.So why does the mind mess with us and make unreasonable excuses? Because the mind wants comfort, that's the reason.It’s afraid of discomfort, pressure and change.The mind is absorbed in its comfort zone, and anytime we try to stretch that zone too far, for too long, the mindtries desperately to get back to "ground zero" at any cost.These damaging excuses, such as "I can't do it", "It is too hard for me", "It’s too late now" and so on, are no strangers to our minds.It seems too difficult at first, so you think you can't stick to the positive change you're making.This excuse can be countered (对抗）by looking at the fact that other people were no more capable than you thought you were.For example, my 60-year-old next-door neighbor finished running a marathon, so I told myself, "If she can do it, so can I !" Truth be told, the only person who tells you "I can't" is yourself.If you hear those words echoing in the back of your mind, tune them out.I've witnessed people reinventing themselves at all ages 48-year-olds starting families, 57-year-olds graduating from college for the first time, 71-year-olds starting successful businesses, and so forth.Another common excuse is that "I've already failed too much." If you break down, it's fine, because you are only human.Just don't stay down; take a rest, and then pick yourself up so you can go to where you'd rather be.As Winston Churchill said, "Success is never final; failure is never fatal .It is courage to continue that counts."Some people feel like quitting when they have almost reached their goal, while others attain goals through their efforts until the last second.So make some necessary adjustments to get rid of the bad habit of making excuses.Keep going! No excuses! Think, work, and climb, that's how you'll move your life forward.51．Why does our mind make excuses?A．It tends to seek comforts rather than suffering.B．It needs rest and relaxation .C．It is preparing for the difficult times.D．It is the way it tries to find a solution.52．What might "ground zero" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．The lowest spot.B．The safest placeC．The original place D．The proper position53．Knowing his neighbor finished the marathon made the author realize________.A．completing a marathon was not too difficultB．people often neglect their abilitiesC．looking down upon the others is wrongD．people shouldn't let negative thoughts step in their way54．For someone who fears failure, the author advises him to_______.A．learn from those good examplesB．stop for a while and examine himselfC．try to adjust himself, and get back on his feetD．look for new directions and keep trying55．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A．To tell readers how to make a change.B．To help readers develop a new view of life.C．To encourage readers to leave their comfortable zone.D．To tell readers to stop making excuses and keep fighting.阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

周口中英文学校2016-2017学年上期高三十月考试英语试题第一部分：阅读理解（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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。
AThe life of an actor appears attractive and many young people dream about becoming one. But the truth is, it is very hard work. If you’re successful, there are deadlines to be met, appointments to keep and the press to deal with. If you’re not successful, then life is extremely tough.I remember when I started out, I had to search the advertisement board at my drama school every day to look for acting jobs. Drama school was expensive and I needed extra cash to help pay the fees. I welcomed every small job. I played extras in many crowd scenes and became a confident participant in a lot of TV commercials for hair shampoo, soap and washing powder.I had been working for about two years before I got my lucky break. One day, as I was passing the drama school, I decided to go in to check the notice board. There was nothing on it and I was just leaving when the secretary came along the corridor with a piece of paper. She asked me how I was and I told her life was hard and work was difficult to find. The next moment, she put the paper in my hand and walked away. My hands were shaking asI unfolded the paper, full of expectation. To my surprise, it was an audition (试演) fora clown (小丑) for the Canadian circus. I couldn’t stop myself from laughing. I had expected an audition with a famous director for a new film!When I was at drama school, there had been a course in acrobatics (杂技) and clown tricks.I had gained top marks in this course for originality and daring. Later I went to the audition feeling very strange. This was not what I’d had in mind when I enrolled in drama school. To my surprise, the job as a clown turned out to be exactly what I wanted. I loved every moment of getting dressed up and putting on the make-up. I had the opportunity to travelthe world and I was more than an actor, I was an entertainer as well. I had visited over 32 different countries and entertained millions of people.1. According to paragraph 3, the writer went into the drama school __________.A. to look for a jobB. to see the secretaryC. to collect a piece of paperD. to put a notice on the notice board2. Which of the following can best describe the author’s feeling when he unfolded the paper?A. Extremely frightened.B. Feeling anxious and excited.C. Very worried.D. Trembling with fear.3. From the whole passage, we can tell that the writer is ___________.A. sad that he was not a famous actorB. happy to travel the worldC. feeling very strange to be a clownD. very content with his lifeBEnough may never be enough. As human beings, it seems that once we attain what we think will make us whole, we grow bored quickly and need something new in order to feel satisfied. We are addicted to what we don’t have.You’d better sit down at this very moment and make a list of all the reasons why you’re fortunate and while you’re writing the list, you would want nothing more. You could get together with a group of people whom you care about and discuss ideas. You would feel comfortable with what you have and who you are at that moment or some hours later. The talking heads always tell you that you need to be rich and famous on your television, so your desire for more becomes unquenchable (难抑制的). You forget that you are enough. You find yourself making comparisons between your life and the life of people you assume who have figured it out, and all of your accomplishments are never enough to satisfy you.The issue with this “never enough” me ntality is that we all have it to some degree. We fail to realize that even the people who have figured it out are on some level still as lost and broken as everyone else. Everyone is constantly looking for validation (确认) in the form of likes and comments to give meaning to our sense of self. We honestly believe that as long as we buy into the illusion (错觉) when we are happy, everything is going to be great, we won’t have to face reality.Reality is that we want all the material, social media fame, and worthless validation in order to feel accepted by others. The reason why all of those things bring only temporary satisfaction is that they aren’t the answer. We all keep looking for other people to accept us in order to feel whole. But in fact, it is when we accept ourselves that we can feel really satisfied. We are in a universal competition for acceptance that no one wants a part of, but so few have the courage to stop competing. What will ever be enough?4. After writing down the reasons why you’re f ortunate, you may think ___________.A. you are lucky enoughB. you need something newC. you will grow bored quicklyD. you should discuss ideas with others5. According to Paragraph 2, the people who have “figured it out” refer to those _______.A. who don’t dare to face the realityB. who intend to compare with othersC. who have achieved some kind of successD. who are unlikely to be accepted by others6. People can only get long term satisfaction if __________.A. they can achieve great successB. they believe in their own abilitiesC. they can accept themselves joyfullyD. they stop commenting on others’ behavior7. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To warn people not to set long-term goals.B. To ask people to appreciate what they have.C. To teach people how to hold a positive attitude.D. To inform people of the importance of comparison.CMany businesses today use conferences as a means of discussing new plans of the company. As people are paying more attention to the environment and green problems, more businessesare looking for ways to reduce their negative effect on the environment. Many businesses do this by using Web conferencing.Web conferencing is a technology that allows people to communicate more effectively over t he Internet. It’s an easy way of hosting and attending conferences without having to leave the office. Each of the people involved in a Web conference will be posted an invitation to the conference with the time and date of the Web conference on it. When the conference is ready to begin, all participants(参与者)must sit at their computers and they will be connected over the Internet.With Web conferencing all participants attend the conference from the comfort of their own desk. Obviously, in doing this no fuel is used in traveling to and from a conference, and less work time is taken up in attending a conference.Any material to be used during Web conferencing is simply e-mailed to all the participants before the conference. Participants can then either choose to print material or read it on screen. This not only saves paper but also greatly reduces mailing costs for the business.As a conference hall or business center isn’t being used, it means that the only power that is used is the power used by the part icipants’ personal computers. Similarly conference organizers don’t have to arrange for food or overnight accommodation(住处)for participants of their conferences. All this means that less energy is used.Often in business some companies actively choose to do business with other companies that do many things to reduce their negative impact on the environment. And Web conferencing helps you show other businesses that you are willing to work hard for the green cause.So Web conferencing is much cheaper and greener and more people are willing to hos t and attend a Web conference.8. What is the passage mainly about?A. Green benefits of Web conferencing.B. Ways of protecting the environment.C. Ways of hosting a Web conference.D. Impact of Web conferencing on costs.9. According to Paragraph 1, many companies use Web conferencing because they .A. are interested in using any new technologyB. believe that Web conferencing is more convenientC. haven’t enough money to hold a traditional conferenceD. want to do something to protect the environment10. The participants of a Web conference .A. will be e-mailed an invitation before the conferenceB. are required to sit in an office togetherC. must have access to the InternetD. will receive many paper materials11. Which of the following words best describes the author’s opinion about a Web conference?A. Environment-friendly.B. Useless.C. Inconvenient.D. Money-consuming.DBabysitters are childcare professionals, who t ypically care for one family’s children for a few hours at a time. While it may not sound like an exciting job, these professionals are valued and trusted family employees, and as such have an enjoyable and well-paid job. Here are some of the top reasons to become a babysitter:-- A driver’s license is not required: While many babysitters are able to increase the fees they charge by driving school-age children to and from school, and to after-class activities, they do not need to be able to drive. The parents pick up the babysitter from her home (or another agreed upon location), and drop her off afterwards.-- Flexible hours: While some babysitters have set jobs, where they babysit for the same children each week at an appointed time, most take jobs as their schedule permits. If the children’s parents call to request a babysitter’s time on an evening and the babysitter is not available until later in the evening, often time, the parent will change their plan to suit her.-- Free time: While some babysitters will tell horror stories about how tired the children may make them during the time of babysitting, the truth is that most children who require babysitters are young and go to bed early. They also take afternoon naps. This means that while babysitting, babysitters have significant free time to watch television or read. Babysitters who are in high school, college or graduate school, enjoy this opportunity to study.-- It is fun: There are not many jobs that will pay you to play hide and go seek, do finger painting, or eat ice cream, but babysitters routinely get to do all that. They also have a built-in reason to watch Disney movies, play video games, blow bubbles, and read children books. Babysitting is a job for those who are young at heart, and are ready and willing to embrace that side of themselves while working.12. According to the passage, babysitters _____________.A. earn little money from the jobB. have to work long hoursC. have much time to do what they wantD. are usually tired and bored13. Which of the following statements is true?A. Babysitters usually have to change their plans to meet their employers’ needs.B. Babysitting can be a very tiring job because the children may be very naughty.C. While babysitting, one can do nothing else but take care of the children.D. babysitters can do a lot of interesting things with the children they take care of.14. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 stands for _____________.A. the babysittersB. the childrenC. the parentsD. the stories15. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To compare babysitting with other jobs.B. To teach people how to be a good babysitter.C. To show some advantages of babysitting.D. To list so me do’s and don’ts when babysitting.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。
