Are you the kind of person who always keeps a bar of chocolate nearby? Perhaps you feel weak or sleepy without your sweets. If so, you may have a problem that millions of others have: sugar addiction.Addiction means using a substance or doing an activity over and over again, in spite of its bad effects. Playing computer games, drinking, and eating arc examples of activities that can develop into addictions.There are four stages of behavior that happen during a sugar addiction. Stage one begins with a strong wish for something sweet. This happens because sugar causes the body to produce dopamine (多巴胺). It is a chemical that creates feelings of happiness. In stage two, even after sugar has been eaten, the desire remains and grows. This is because the body becomes less sensitive to the effect of sugar over time. So, it is necessary to eat more sugar to produce the positive emotions. In stage three, when a sugar need is not satisfied, the person feels bad. Sugar addicts experience bad emotional symptoms. They also feel physical symptoms, such as headaches, sleepiness, and lack of energy. Over time, a sugar addiction will reach stage four. This is when the worst health effects of sugar addiction can be seen. Unhealthy body weight and depression are examples.Breaking a sugar addiction can be challenging, but it is important for your health. There are a few things to keep in mind. It’s simple advice you probably have heard before. Eat three meals a day, get enough sleep, and exercise often. Choose healthy sweets, like fruit, and avoid salty snacks. These usually cause people to want to eat sweets. Don’t push yourself too hard. Remember that lifestyle changes happen slowly.1. Why are people addicted to sugar?A．Having some sugar at hand. B．Feeling sleepy.C．Tasting sugar in regular food. D．Desiring dopamine.2. What does the underlined word “symptom” in paragraph 3 mean?A．signs. B．feelings. C．synonyms. D．stages.3. What is mentioned as a suggestion on breaking a sugar addiction?A．Going on a diet. B．Stopping eating sweets.C．Working out regularly. D．Avoiding sugary snacks.4. What is the best title for the text?A．Approaches To Beating Sugar AddictionB．Sugar Addiction: A common problemC．Sugar Addiction In Teenagers And How To Get Over ItD．Sugar Addiction: Your First Step Is Your First Call4. In 2014, Mahoney was asked to choose a person who regularly gave back to the Halifax community (社区) to perform an act of kindness as part of a Facebook challenge. Mahoney chose a79-year-old senior named Eleanor, who not only gave goods for the people at the pub where Mahoney worked but also volunteered at the local homeless shelter.Mahoney wanted to get to know Eleanor better, so she asked that they spent a day together—picking up fruits, getting their nails done, that kind of thing. “It was the first time in years that someone had made a day about her,” says the 30-year-old. “That focus made her shine.”Their shared experience got Mahoney thinking. How many other seniors might benefit from that kind of attention? And had some of those seniors delayed their dreams because they’d been busy caring for others? Chisholm, now 31, was equally interested in these questions, and together the pair set up their new charity: We Are Young, or WAY for short.WAY has since delivered on (履行) 38 dreams—from a helicopter trip over a childhood blueberry-picking place to travelling to Toronto to watch a Blue Jays game. These dreams are to work out problems caused by the health and loneliness of seniors. 78-year-old Victor wanted to go to the beach—a dream he’d given up when it became too physically difficult to reach the sea. The team at WAY offered a boat for him and his son in the fall of 2021 so they could reach the sea and spend the day enjoying themselves on the beach.“If you lose the sense of purpose that having a passion (激情) can give you, your self-confidence goes down,” says Mahoney. “Now, Victor has got some of his self-confidence again—and his sense of humour. We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others.” “We want to create a movement that changes our whole society’s opinion and support for seniors,” says Mahoney. “That is the influence we’re trying to create.”1. How did Eleanor feel after spending a day with Mahoney?A．she as panicked. B．She was in a good mood.C．She was confused. D．She was tired.2. Why did Mahoney and Chisholm set up WAYA?A．To help seniors get answers to the questions.B．To make themselves become better.C．To make seniors’ delayed dreams a reality.D．To realize their own delayed dreams.3. What might Victor think of WAY after the trip?A．It was a home for him. B．It would gain popularity.C．It’s much better than before.D．It might be owned by his son.4. What is the best title of the article?A．Seniors Deserve More Care. B．“WAY” for Seniors’ Delayed Dreams.C．An Act of Kindness. D．Seniors’ Dream Come True.5. Humans like exploring the world. Throughout history, we have gone to afar- off places to see how people in other areas leave. That urge (欲望) hasn’t disappeared, despite increasing awareness of the carbon footprint associated with travel. Nor should it—t here’re great benefits from seeing the broader world. 1 Consider the following tips to reduce your influence when traveling.● 2Not only does it save money, but travelers will avoid lines and crowds. And the damage to the sites is less. The climate benefit is real, too. Traveling during this time means better options for direct flights, which are more fuel-efficient. Planes burn up to 25% of their fuel supply when taking off and climbing, so fewer stopovers (中途停留) mean less fuel used.● Use public tran sportInstead of hiring a private vehicle, you can consider using public means of transport. Carrying lots of people, they cut down the carbon emissions (排放) that would otherwise be given out by many private vehicles. 3● Pack a “Capsule Travel Bag”The heavier a plane is, the more fuel it requires to fly. Therefore, packing little is one simple way to reduce your impact. 4 Finnair, Finland’s biggest airline, has calculated that if each passenger were to cut down the weight of their luggage by 5 kilograms, the total reduction could save almost 17,000 toms of CO2 emissions.● Bring your waste-free toolsA zero-waste routine or creating as little waste as possible is also important when you’re away. To often, though, people use as an excuse to let their waste-reduction efforts fail. 5 In order to reduce your impact on the environment, you need to carry reusable items. For instance, carry reusable shopping bags or reusable water bottles.6. Adam Sandler will forever be known as one of Holly wood’s funnymen. However, his journey to the career is really a(n) _________ of his resilience (适应力).As a student at NYU, Adam was doing stand-up comedy shows to make a living. At the time, his dream was almost _________by his acting professor, who said to Adam _________, “I want to take you to a bar because I want you to think about whether to _________ acting and choose another pathas your career as it is too hard for you.” The reality takes an ironic(讽刺的) _________ years later. At the height of his success, Adam _________ the same professor.

Like many people who have 38 chemotherapy（化疗）, I lost all of my hair.I had always enjoyed wearing hats, so when my hair 39 me, I ordered several special hats with the hair already 40 .

It occurred last night. Pilot Garry Megson, 38，died with his eight-year-old son Peter, family friend Stephen Aspden, 45, and his 12-year-old son, Jack. Police said Mr. Megson was attempting a tricky maneuver, called a touch-and-go landing, when the accident happened in the rented single-engine Piper Warrior. The move involves touching the wheels down on the landing strip before immediately taking off again. The aircraft failed to regain height and veered off the runway. It hit several ears and a hangar(飞机库房)before bursting into flames in Pennsylvania on Sunday. Mr. Megson who has 20 years' flying experience, moved to the US 11 months ago with his wife and son to work as a manager with drugs giant AstraZeneca. Secondary school teacher Mr. Aspden, 45, was on holiday, visiting with his family. His wife and ten year old daughter have since returned to Manchester, where they live. Christine Troy, a neighbour of Mr. Megson said it was “just so sad” the crash happened. She added: "He was the greatest guy. His so n was just wonderful. "56. This passage is probably taken from __________.A. a magazineB. a newspaperC. a bookD. an advertisement57. What's the best title of the passage?A. Four killed in plane crashB. A plane burst into flamesC. A touch-and-go landing.D. Four murdered in Pennsylvania58. How did the crash happen?A. The plane burst in the air.B. The plane burst into flames on the runway.C. The plane touched the wheels down on the landing strip.D. The plane hit some ears and a hangar and burst into flames.BThe other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7:30pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:30 -8:30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8:00pm or 8:30pm means possible dinner, but 9：30pm and any time thereafter means no food, oat beforehand, roll up late.But this is not always the case. If asked to a students' party at 6:30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive - looking eager - is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6:30, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think we're young, we're probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.The accepted custom at present is confusing（混乱的）, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lead every party that precious element（成分）of surprise.59. Jane and David' s story is used to show that______ .A. party-goers usually get hungry at partiesB. party invitations can be confusingC. people should ask for food at partiesD. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull60. For some young people, arriving on time for a students' party will probably be considered_______.A. very difficultB. particularly thoughtfulC. friendly and politeD. socially unacceptable61. According to the writer, people in their late thirties_______.A. are likely to arrive late for a partyB. care little about the party timeC. haven’t really grown up yetD. like surprises at parties62. What is the general idea of the text?A. It’s safe to arrive late just when food is served.B. It’s wise to eat something before going to a party.C. It’s important to follow social rules of party-going.D. It’s necessary to read invitations carefully.CNotting Hill Carnival (狂欢节)organizers are celebrating a bumper year, with crowds up and crime down by almost a third.More than 1 million people who were having fun singing, dancing and so on in a noisy way were at the two day event in West London but there were only 64 arrests, compared with 94 last year.Most arrests were for drug, theft or public order offences, police said last night. The number of crimes stood at 85, compared with 115 last year.It was the 40th anniversary of the colorful celebration of Caribbean culture, which has become Europe's best-known street festival.Sporadic(零星的)showers failed to dampen the crowd's spirits. Attendance last year fell to about 600,000, mainly because of bad weather.Calypso music played loudly from sound systems along the parade route as thousands of whistle-blowing people followed glittering floats (灿烂夺目的花车). They were joined by dancers and drummers.“The atmosphere is fantastic," said Chief lnsp Wayne Mawson. “Crime is low, reported crime is low, and people are still enjoying themselves.”One man was arrested for the crime of attacking someone yesterday after another was treated for an arm injury in Powis Square. Officers carried out a stop and search operation at Mile End Tube Station after reports that 60 youths planned to disrupt (使混乱) the event.

But Compaq was forced to withdraw(收回)the offer when an important detail about Eisenherg was discovered: he was just 14. Two years later, Eisenberg now runs his own technical support company, F1 Computer, “I might be interested in getting a job in a few years, after college,” he says. “But this is just right for me now.”Eisenberg is among an increasing number of teenagers who are running their own computer-related businesses--and, for the most part, being successful at it. "Many kids in suburban homes have grown up operating very powerful computers, so technology is second nature to them in a way that it's not to many adults," says Gene Depose, president of a high tech research firm based in New Y ork.Danny Kalmick, the 14-year-old president of Kalmick & Co. Computing took his first steptoward becoming a neighborhood computer expert at age 11, when he broke down his first PC (a 486/DX2) to inspect its motherboard (主板). When neighbors called him for computer advice a year later, Kalmick saw a business opportunity. So he printed up business cards, and took out an ad in a neighborhood telephone book. He now has about 10 regular clients, works 6 to 10 hours a week, and earns $ 20 an hour solving tech problems.Low prices are usually an advantage in the marketplace, but so is age. Many young business people argue: Kids aren't as frightening to work with as their more senior adults. “We're professional, of course, but we are just kids, and people feel like they can talk with us and ask us whatever they want without being embarrassed,” says Charles Ross, 18, vice president of a Web services company that develops marketing sites for local businesses. Ross runs the firm w ith his twin brother, James, and their friend Matthew Baylis, 17. “Beside, a lot of our clients tell us that they would rather work with us because we've grown up with the technology and have a solid handle on it.”66. The title of the passage “Mini Comput er Capitalists" refers to ______.A. young computer business peopleB. new kinds of computer companiesC. expensive, high-tech inventionsD. very small high-speed computers67. Eisenberg couldn’t work for the Compaq computer company because ______.A. Compaq didn't want to hire himB. he wanted a very high salaryC. they thought he was too young for the jobD. he didn't have enough experience68. Most teenagers mentioned in the passage who run their own computer business are _____.A. famousB. successfulC. unsuccessfulD. inexperienced69. The underlined phrase "have a solid handle on it" probably means______.A. are full of energyB. are familiar with computer technologyC. understand it well and can do it wellD. are experts and very wealthy70. The last paragraph mainly talks about _____.A. low prices are an advantage in the marketplaceB. young age is an advantage in the marketplaceC. people don't feel embarrassed when they consult teenagersD. teenagers grow up with computer technology第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共35分）第四部分：任务型阅读（共10 题；每小题1分，满分10分）Since the beginning of human evolution, men have migrated（迁移）across continents in search of food, shelter, safety, and comfortable weather. People still move for these reasons, but new reasons for human migration are arising, such as job relocation(重新安置) and overpopulation.Three million migrants are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasingly, their destination is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world. People are moving within the developing world for the same reasons as they migrate to wealthier nations. People from poor countries are going to less poor countries, fleeing wars and conflicts. They are also responding to population pressures because some countries are densely populated, and they often have high population growth. Those people need to go somewhere else.There are three main reasons why people move. The basic categories and percentages are as follows, according to the Current Population Surveys (CPS).Family-related reasons account for 26.3%, including changes in marital（婚姻的）status, establishing a household and other family reasons; work-related reasons 16.2%, including jobtransfer, retirement, and other job-related reasons; housing-related reasons 51.6%, including new and better houses, better neighborhood, cheaper housing and other housing reasons; the remaining 5.9% of other reasons are attending college, the change of climate and health reasons.Americans have been migrating south and west for decades in search of better job opportunities and warmer climates. They have also been moving to places a little far from cities, in search of bigger yards and houses, lower crime rates and better schools. In 1950, nearly a fifth of the population lived in the nation’s 20 largest cities. In 2006, it was about one in ten. That’s why many American people say, “Big Cities Shrink as People Move South, West.”Between March 2005 and March 2007, 73.4 million Americans moved. Fifty-six percent of these moves were within the same country. Twenty percent were between counties but in the same state. Nineteen percent were moves to a different state. Some families even went abroad.Lead-in Throughout human history, people have migrated across 71 .An 72 number of people from poor countries are moving to 73 countries, especially neighboring ones.74 for people’s migration According to the CPS, 75 of the people move to other places for reasons 76 to housing.Americans have long been moving south and west, looking 77 a better job chance, a warmer 78 and a bigger yard, etc.79 Now every year more and more people move to other places, which seems to have become a global 80 .第五部分: 书面表达(满分25 分)假设你是李华，作为交流学生去了美国新奥尔良市（New Orleans）学习生活了一年。

2021年江苏省扬州市高一(下)期中英语试卷(有答案)

2021年江苏省扬州市高一（下）期中英语试卷一、阅读理解1.The government of New South Wales, Australia has begun a detection（探测）camera program to stop people illegally using their smart phones while driving.During the first three months of the new system, drivers caught by the technology willbe sent a warning letter. After this, the illegal drivers will be given five wrongdoing points and a fine of 344 Australian dollars. The fine rises to 457 Australian dollars in school zones. It is illegal to hold and use a smart phone while driving in New South Wales.According to New South Wales' Centre for Road Safety, the system uses both fixedand transportable cameras. It also uses artificial（人工的）intelligence to review photos and detect illegal drivers. The government employees will check photos that the system picks out. And "strict controls" are in place to make sure that photos taken by the system are managed and stored safely."A study has shown that these cameras could prevent around 100 deadly or seriousinjury crashes over five years," Bernard Carlon, the director of transport for the Centre, said. Using smart phones while driving is a kind of distracted（精神不集中的）driving. It certainly is a serious issue. In the U. S. the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has described distracted driving as "any activity that takes attention away from driving". This can include talking or texting on a phone, eating or drinking while at the wheel, and even talking to other people in the car. The NHTSA says that in 2017, 3,166 people were killed in crashes because of it."At present, technology is more likely to create distractions in cars than it is to fight against it," Alain Dunoyer, SBD Automotive's leader, said. He added, "Through testing, we have found that these once simple tasks, like changing the radio station or increasing the temperature, can now need a high level of a driver's attention."（1）What can we learn about the punishment to illegal drivers?A.Their photos will be shown to the public.B.They face a bigger fine in school zones.C.They won't be allowed to drive for a while.D.They will be fined or have their points taken off.（2）How does the new system work?A.It fully depends on artificial intelligence.B.AI will check the photos of illegal drivers.C.Humans need to pick out the illegal drivers first.D.Detection cameras and humans will work together.（3）What does the last paragraph say?A.Technology brings new troubles.B.More and more people begin to drive.C.Cars become more and more high-tech.D.Driving is very difficult and dangerous.2.More people are paying closer attention to how the production of clothing affectsthe environment. However, some experts say that the idea of "buy and throw away" still rules when it comes to clothes. This is true, although some famous people and teams support a movement to reuse and recycle clothing.The British design team, Vin+Omi, looks for creative ways to make the industrymore sustainable（可持续的）. Their clothing is worn by former first lady Michelle Obama and singers Beyonce and Lady Gaga. The team found latex（乳胶）from Malaysia. But when they discovered the conditions for the work there were bad, they bought the operation. In their office in the English countryside, they grow unusual crops for cloth development. Their latest line of clothes includes ones made from plants.Another English designer, Zoe Corsellis, keeps her carbon footprint low by making the cloth from wood products, sea waste and something called "peacesilk". Belgiandesigner Sebastiaan de Neubourg is recycling plastic bottle scar parts and machines used in homes. Plastic waste is collected and torn into small pieces for a 3D printer. "Waste, I believe, is design failure," he said.More famous people are playing a part in the movement. Some are buying old high-quality clothes used by people long ago. Others wear a set of clothes more than once.Fee Gilfeather is a sustainability expert with the nonprofit group Oxfam. She said thereis hope that more can be done. "The textile（纺织品）industry is getting close to working out how to do fiber-to-fiber recycling," she said. Such recycling takes clothes that are no longer wanted or needed and breaks them down into raw materials to make new clothes. She said the industry needs to move faster, because carbon emissions（排放物）from the textile industry are expected to increase by 60 percent by 2050.Some fast-fashion industry leaders, including the leaders of Zara and H&M stores,have launched clothing take-back plans to recycle old clothes. But for now, recycling anda zero-waste goal are only a small part of the worldwide industry.（1）How does "Vin+Omi" try to make the industry more sustainable?A.By making good use of sea waste.B.By turning to unusual plants for materials.C.By making the cloth from wood products.D.By depending on used materials to make clothes.（2）Which of the following statements shows Fee Gilfeather's opinion?A.Carbon emissions will increase by 60 percent by 2050.B.A zero-waste goal is impossible for the fashion industry.C.The fashion industry can do more for environmental sustainability.D.People should care more about the environment instead of the fashion.（3）What's the text mainly about?A.Clothing industry may face an uncertain future.B.More people buy clothes made from used materials.C.The idea of "buy and throw away" has gone out of fashion.D.Clothing designers are taking action to save the environment.3.Ask people how they feel about cold and you'll find that most people dislike it and complain about it. But new research suggests that human actually associate（将……联系起来）cold with positive things. A lot of research shows that our minds are actually full of biases（偏见）. Many of these need to be corrected. But others fall into the type that is considered strange but useful. Our feelings about cold are one example.Recent research out of the University of Oxford actually shows that people tend to associate cold temperatures with luxury（奢华）. In one part of that study, people who toucheda cold vase thought it to be worth more than the same one at room temperature. In another, people thought traveling bag shown against a snowy nature scene is more expensive than the same product shown against the nature scene during springtime.That's strange, right? Temperature and status seem to have nothing to do with each other—and if they did, wouldn't "warm" be nicer? But as Oxford marketing professor RhondaHadi explained to Fast Company's Mark Wilson, the association actually makes a strange kind of sense."When you think about status, you may associate it with distance—psychological and physical distance—which is the opposite of warmth being associated with closeness," shesaid. Besides, she notes, something that feels cold hasn't been touched by anyone else. On the contrary, something that's warm has been touched by many people. "Think about sitting on a seat on the bus right after someone has left it," Wilson suggested. "It's warm, butit's...unpleasant."Even with this explanation, the association between cold and luxury is still a little strange, but it's the kind of strangeness that businessmen are happy to put to use. This strange association is why jewelry ads often show the goods on actual ice. It's also probably why luxury stores are often very cold. If you're trying to sell a product of very high quality, finding creative ways to diminish the temperature around it may push customers to see your offering as worthy of more of their dollars.If you're a shopper, on the other hand, it's always useful to know all the tricks sellers have up their sleeves to get more of your hard-earned cash. So next time you spot a high-endfashion ad featuring a model rolling around in the snow or a commercial with a luxury car driving through an icy landscape, know your brain's biases are being influenced. Warn yourself to free from the influence.（1）What does the research in Paragraph 2 show?A.Surroundings will influence a product's value.B.It is very difficult to judge the real value of things.C.People like to associate cold with less expensive things.D.Temperature influences people's judgments on things' value（2）What does Rhonda Hadi think of the association?A.It is too weak to be noticed.B.It is strange but makes sense.C.It is unpleasant and hard to accept.D.It influences people positively as a whole.（3）What does the underlined word "diminish" in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Lower.B.Forecast.C.Identify.bine.（4）What does the author advise us to do if we're shoppers?A.Never choose products we can't afford.B.Get rid of our biases towards the luxuries.C.Be clear in our mind about the sellers' tricks.D.Never trust ads featuring snowy nature scenes.二、七选五阅读根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

With the development of AI, we may be able to understand their languages!In Professor Karen Bakker’s new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants, she talks about how AI is helping us to make an animal version of Google Translate.All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants for example talk with each other using infrasound(次声波)—far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also sends sound waves to attract baby coral to safer areas to grow. This is surprising as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening equipment into these environments to pick up the sounds humans cannot hear.After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meaning, according to the news website Vox. For example, Israeli researchers used AI to translate bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about four things: food, sleep positions, invasion of personal space, and unwanted advances.This technology can not only understand the animals but communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate. A research team in Germany, therefore, put the bee language AI system into a robot bee. They asked the robot to create a dance routine to tell the bees where the flowers were, Vox reported.4. What can AI do for people in Karen Bakker’s opinion?B．AI helps animals receive human’s sound.A．AI helps people better understandanimals.C．AI helps people do translations better. D．AI can help people develop GoogleTranslate.5. What do we know about the sounds made by animals?A．They can help animals get used to their environments.B．Corals have ears that can hear all animal sounds.C．Some of the sounds cannot be heard by humans.D．All communications among elephants are infrasound.6. How did scientists tell bees where the flowers were?A．By making a robot bee tell the bees about the route by dancing.B．By creating a certain sound with the AI system.C．By asking a robot bee to teach them a new language.D．By training other bees to lead them there.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Making an animal version of GoogleB．Recording sounds with AI TranslateC．Receiving infrasound with AI D．Talking to animals with AIRecycling in general can be an effective way to reuse natural material resources. The U.S.’s high recycling rate of paper, 68 percent, has proved this point. But although some materials can be effectively recycled and safely made from recycled content, plastics cannot. Plastic recycling does not work and will never work.The problem with recycling plastic lies not with the concept or process but with the material itself. There are thousands of different plastics, each with its own characteristics. They all include different chemicals that cannot be recycled together, making it impossible to sort the trillions of pieces of plastics into separate types for processing. What’s more, plastic recycling costs more than new plastic because collecting, sorting, transporting, and reprocessing plastic waste is very expensive. Despite this obvious failure, the plastics industry has begun a decades-long campaign to keep the lie that the material is recyclable, which reminds the public of the tobacco industry’s efforts to tell smokers that filtered (过滤的) cigarettes are healthier than unfiltered cigarettes.Traditional mechanical recycling, in which plastic waste is ground up and melted (熔化), has been around for many decades. Now the plastics industry is promoting the benefits of so-called chemical recycling, in which plastic waste is broken down using high heat and turned into a low-quality fossil fuel. In 2018, Dow Chemical claimed that the Renewlogy chemical-recycling factory in Salt Lake City was able to reprocess mixed plastic waste through the “Hefty EnergyBag” program and turn it into diesel fuel (柴油). As Reuters showed in a 2021 survey, however, the pyrolysis (高温分解) process was not worth it.We’re not making a case for hopelessness. Just the opposite(相反的). We need the facts so that individuals and policymakers can take action. Proven solutions to the plastic-waste and pollution problems exist and can be quickly copied across the country. These solutions include placing bans on single-use plastic bags and unrecyclable single-use plastic food-service products, and installing dishwashing equipment in schools.Consumers can put pressure on companies to stop filling store shelves with single-use plastics by not buying them and instead choosing reusables and products in better packaging. And we should all keep recycling our paper, boxes, cans, and glass, because that actually works.8. What is the problem with recycled plastic?A．It costs too much to produce.B．It can hardly be selected out.C．It is generally of poor quality.D．It can’t be stored in large numbers.9. What is the plastics industry trying to do?A．To compete with the tobacco industry.B．To cut down the cost of recycling plastic.C．To uncover the lie of the tobacco industry.D．To prove the possibility of recycling plastic.10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A．Traditional recycling proves to be safer.B．Chemical recycling turns out to be a failure.C．Chemical recycling can save energy resources.D．Traditional recycling can deal with limited waste.11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To show the difficulty in recycling plastic.B．To introduce a new way of recycling plastic.C．To stress the importance of recycling plastic.D．To call for a ban on single-use plastic products.Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life — wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke(1917 — 2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001:A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (充满敬畏的) by the mystery of the universe.”But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational (理性的). In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams.12. What do we know about Liu Cixin?A．He became a full-time writer when he was young.B．He is the first Asian to win the Arthur Clarke Award.C．He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.D．He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.13. Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show ___________.A．his feeling after reading Clarke’s work B．his love of reading science fictionC．his interest in mysteries of the universe D．his confusion when he started writing 14. Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth?A．To prove that Liu Cixin’s works relate science to reality.B．To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas.C．To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination.D．To compare the different writing styles in the two books.15. What’s the text mainly about?A．Liu Cixin’s contributions to science fiction. B．Liu Cixin’s achievements and writing style.C．How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer. D．How Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style. Have you ever found yourself saying “I’ll never do that again”, only to find yourself doing the exact same thing just a short time later? 16 It seems all of us have repeated some of our mistakes at one time or another. The good news is that you can take steps to learn from your mistakes.Admit your mistakes.Don’t blame anyone or anything else. Don’t try to hide your mistake or pretend it didn’t happen. Admitting mistakes does not make you look weak. 17 When you admit mistakes, you help developa culture of open communication and a willingness to improve by showing that you want to learn from the mistake.Ask yourself questions.Even though you don’t want to face your mistakes, thinking about them carefully can be helpful. Ask yourself a few questions. What went wrong? What could I do better next time? What did I learn from this? 18 Seeing your answers on paper can help you think more logically about your experience.Make a plan.Keeping feeling sorry for your mistakes won’t help you. 19 Make a plan that will help you avoid making a similar mistake. Be as detailed as possible but remain flexible since your plan may need to be changed.20Sometimes people will point out your mistakes. Find someone who is wise and dependable and who is willing to listen to your explanations of what you’ve tried so far. If you can ask for advice from an expert, that couldn’t be better.Hurricane Harvey struck Texas over two years ago, and many communities continue to feel its effects today.

Lari was known for designing smooth towers of glass and concrete. But here, she’d be drawing plans for earthquake-resistant homes using stone and timber debris(木材碎片). With each passing day, she felt deeply right to do disaster-relief work. So she made it her new mission, spending the next four months working with volunteer architects and engineers from Pakistan and abroad.Inspired by local buildings made with sustainable materials such as timber debris, bamboo and mud, Lari’s shelters can better withstand disasters. Lari says this local, cost-effective and zero-carbon approach is creating an ecosystem. Anyone can learn by watching DIY videos on Lari’s Zero Carbon Channel on YouTube.The design won a UN World Habitat Prize in 2018.“We need to believe in people’s capacity to bring about change. I treat displaced people as partners, not victims. They know what to do,” says Lari. Over the decades, Yasmeen Lari has won many awards as architect and environmentalist. While it may seem like an unlikely path for a girl who was born into a well-to-do family in1941, she had an unconventional upbringing. At home, her father would talk about the desperate need for housing. Listening to her father talk about the housing crisis and need for architects made an impression on Lari. On a family visit to London when she was 15, she applied to architecture school at Oxford Brookes University. She laughs as she recalls her bravery.At age 83, Yasmeen Lari is still full of ideas about zero-carbon designs, skills building and self-sustaining villages. “Architects can no longer work for just the one percent,” she says. “That doesn’t allow them to serve humanity as much as they could.”4. What can we learn about Lari from the first two paragraphs?A．She felt considerably proud to do disaster-relief work.B．She started a brand-new volunteer working experience.C．She was good at designing earthquake-resistant houses.D．She reconstructed the settlements with glass and concrete.5. How did Lari make her design practical and environmental?A．By creating an ecosystem.B．By strengthening local buildings.C．By using local sustainable materials.D．By watching DIY videos on YouTube.6. Why did Lari decide to apply to architecture school?A．Her interest in architecture drove her.B．Her father encouraged her to path unusual.C．Her father talked about the demand for architects.D．Her rich family allowed her to pursue the most of dream.7. Which of the following best describes Yasmeen Lari?A．Sensitive and brave.B．Determined and cooperative.C．Honest and generous.D．Sympathetic and eco-responsible.Removing gender biasTailors worked out long ago that men and women have different shapes. Yet this message has failed to enter many other areas of design. Car seat belts, for example, which date back to the 1880s, are often still more suitable for men, who tend to sit farther back than women when driving. And today the most forward-looking tech companies on Earth are still placing old-school bias (偏见；成见) into new products. Consider smart phones. Most are too big to fit comfortably into the average woman’s hand, as are many video-game controllers.An obvious part of the explanation for their design problem is that men control most of its companies—male-run firms receive 82% of venture-capital (VC) funding. Male bosses may be unaware of the problems women face. They may not flag up obvious areas of concern, or ask the right questions when doing their research for a new product design. And once an idea gets the green light, it will then be handled by product-design and engineering teams, three-quarters of whose members are men. These teams often use data to make decisions, but mixing all users together means they may fail to spot trends based on sex differences. Dependence on historical data, and the lack of data on underrepresented groups, can also create bias in algorithms (算法).Next comes testing. Naturally, designers test original models on their intended customers, but they may not get feedback from a broad enough group of people. There is also the risk of confirmation bias—designers may listen to what they want to hear, and ignore negative reactions from some groups of users.Tech’s design bias needs fixing for moral, safety and business reasons. The ethical importance is obvious: it is wrong that women have to make do with a “one-size-fits-men” world, as Caroline Criado Perez, a writer, puts it. As for safety, regulators can tackle that by banning things that are dangerous to women—including seat belts—because they are no! designed properly.But there is also a powerful business case for avoiding design bias, because huge opportunities are being missed. Women are 50% of the population, and make 70—80% of the world’s consumer-spending decisions.Change is coming. The first voice-recognition systems struggled to understand female voices, but most now manage just fine. “Femtech” start-up companies, which focus on women’s health and well-being, may raise MYM 1 billion by the end of this year. VC funds and tech firms are hiring more women. Ensuring that products are designed for everyone would lead to happier and safer customers. For the companies that get it right, that means higher profits. What is holding them back?8. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means ________.A．hits the market B．gets approvalC．becomes successful D．comes into being9. What is discussed in Paragraphs 2 and 3?A．Why tech’s design bias needs to be fixed.B．How gender bias is affecting tech companies.C．Where gender bias in product design is rooted.D．Who is to blame for gender bias in tech companies.10. We can learn from the passage that ________.A．tech companies are unwilling to changeB．design bias may result in missed opportunitiesC．male workers benefit more in engineering teamsD．tech companies are poor at making user-friendly products11. How does the author feel about the future of bias-free product design?A．Uncertain. B．Sceptical.C．Positive. D．Negative.The increase in primate (灵长类动物) ecotourism is causing stress-related behaviors in monkeys, according to a new study.The study, led by the University of Portsmouth, looked at the impact of a single engine motor boat approaching a community of proboscis monkeys (长鼻猴). Those monkeys are unusual with their very long noses, which makes them appealing to tourists. And many of the boats carrying the tourists approach the primates quickly and loudly, often reaching the river banks just a few meters away from the wildlife.The researchers conducted the experiment by approaching the monkeys in a motor boat with different speeds and travel distances — fast-close(approaching the monkeys for 10 seconds when 40 meters away at a speed of 14.4k m/hr), slow-close(approaching the monkey for 40 seconds when 40 meters away at a speed of 3.6 km/hr), and slow-far conditions(approaching the monkeys for 20 seconds when 100 meters away, at a speed of 3.6 km/hr).The results showed that the monkeys displayed stress-related behaviors for longer in the fast-close and slow-close conditions and also reduced feeding as a result of the boat approaching in the fast-close condition. Once the boat started to approach, the proboscis monkeys showed repeated scratching (挠) and often moved quickly backwards to hide in the trees. This could potentially cause the monkeys to leave their safe sleeping sites and to go deep into the forest as it gets dark, where they could face a higher risk of predation (捕食行为).“Collectively, our findings suggest that the approach of a single motor boat led to stress in proboscis monkeys when they were approached as closely as 60 meters from the other side of the river, regardless of the speed of approach,” said Dr Marina Davila-Ross, lead author of the study.The researchers thus propose that guidelines for primate tourism in the riverside areas should include an approach speed of no more than 4 km/hr within 100 meters of the proboscis monkeys. They suggest it is also important to keep a distance, preferably no closer than 60 meters away, from the monkeys.“Such information might be helpful for tourists, allowing them to modify (修改) their behaviors when visiting the primates and when encouraging guide s to follow the guidelines,” Dr Davila-Ross added.12. What did the researchers’ experiment show about proboscis monkeys?A．They found the slow-close condition most stressful.B．They tended to go hunting when faced with danger.C．They lost their sense of safety at the sound of motorboats.D．They lost their way very easily at the sight of motorboats.13. What do the researchers advise tourists to do?A．To approach proboscis monkeys less frequently.B．To avoid getting too close to proboscis monkeys.C．To ask guides for more information about proboscis monkeys.D．To behave themselves while trying to feed proboscis monkeys.14. Which of the following may be the writer’s attitude towards primate ecotourism?A．Concerns. B．Confidence. C．Disapproval. D．Disinterest.15. What can be the best title of the text?A．Primate Ecotourism: a better understanding of primatesB．Primate Ecotourism: getting close to the primatesC．Primate Ecotourism: the conservation of primatesD．Primate Ecotourism: a negative effect on primate behaviorIs going alone in an unknown area the right way to go, or do you want a tour guide to show you the highlights? I think that you can combine the two ways in one trip and have the best of both worlds.16 The best purchase we made was for a bus tour that would take us around the capital and point out all the main sites. That allowed us the next day to travel on foot to the ones we especially wanted to see.Let’s look at the San Francisco Bay Area which is another one of my favorite vacation spots. Some areas are so familiar to tourists that it’s possible to view the attractions on your own. 17 Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39 are good examples. Just by walking a few blocks, you can tour Aquarium of the Bay and the Riptide Arcade on Pier 39.18 If you go to Alcatraz Island, you have a choice of going alone, having a live tour guide or being guided by earphones. I would recommend the live tour guides. I went all three ways, and I received more enjoyment by someone telling me items interest I know I had missed on previous tours. 19 It gives you a behind-the-scenes look of colorful Chinatown. The tour covers history, traditions of the local people and culture that you probably wouldn’t know or see by travelling alone.You can go alone to attractions or take a guided tour. It’s your choice and you can choose whichever would give you the most memorable experience. 20One early Saturday morning, I was enjoying my coffee and reading the newspaper alone when I heard an old voice from the radio.“Well, Tom, sounds you’re busy with your job. But it’s a _________ that you have to be away from ho me and your family so much. Too bad you _________ your daughter’s dance performance. Let me tell you something that has helped me _________ my most important things.”“You see, I did a little _________ one day. Folks live about seventy-five years _________ and have 3,900 Saturdays. I felt _________ that I did not think about all this in detail until I was fifty-five years old,” he went on, “if I lived to be seventy-five, I _________ had about a thousand of them left to enjoy.”“So I visited three toy stores, _________ 1,000 marbles (玻璃弹珠) and put them inside a large, clear plastic container. Every Saturday since then, I have taken one out and _________ it away.”“By watching the marbles decrease, I __________ more on the really important things in my life. Watching your time here __________ truly helps get your priorities (优先的事物) __________.”……He gave us all a lot to think about. However busy we were, we should spare time to stay with our family. I had __________ to do some unfinished office work and then meet several radio-lovers.__________, I woke my wife up. “Honey, I’m taking you and the kids out to breakfast.

She has worked on many nature documentaries, including the 2006 BBC program PlanetEarth. For this series, she travelled around the world to film the world’s g reatest mountains.The job of series producer is very complex. For FrozenPlanet, a seven-part series that explores what life is like on the North and South Poles, Berlowitz had to decide when and where to film. She also had to decide how to tell the story. Every day, she helped set up the cameras, which can take hours. With the crew, she often spent hours quietly looking or waiting for animals. She talked about the day the crew finally found a polar bear and her cubs.“A mother polar bear was having a hard time finding food for her cubs. But the little cubs were playing, which made her hunt difficult. I was crying with laughter when she put one of the little cubs in a hole so she could hunt. I thought, this is what mothers do!”Berlowitz is one of very few series women producers. She hopes more women will become producers in the future. She said: “As producers, you do not have to be very physically strong, but you have to be happy to go to extreme areas.”Berlowitz enjoys seeing new parts of the world and filming things many people have never seen before. But the best part of her work is hearing from the people who watch her documentaries.“I got a wonderful email from an elevenyearold girl from Iran. She was so excited that women do jobs like mine. She wants to try and follow my example. She wrote me a beautiful poem, which was about the polar bear film. It made me cry with joy.” she said.4. What can we learn about Berlowitz’s work?A. It needs to be done independently.B. It always puts her in danger.C. It takes time and patience.D. It has nothing to do with her major.5. What feeling did Berlowitz express from her observation of bears?A. Pride.B. Worry.C. Pity.D. Fun.6. What did Berlowitz say to possible producers?A. Grow a strong body.B. Be prepared to travel around the world.C. Be pleased to go to terrible places.D. Learn to deal with extreme weather conditions.7. Why did Berlowitz talk about the Iranian girl?A. To prove FrozenPlanet's huge influence.B. To describe her hope for the little girl.C. To show her audience’s positive response means a lot to her.D. To explain she set a good example for girls worldwide.CMake Up Your Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s winter.” And their report cards sounded more positive than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweek, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”Dweek has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent is genetic - you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it’s qu ick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweek’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.8. What does the author think about the present generation?A. They don’t do well at school.B. They are often misunderstood.C. They are eager to win in sports.D. They are given too much praise.9. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ________.A. doesn’t want to work hardB. cares a lot about personal safetyC. cannot share his ideas with othersD. can succeed with the help of teachers10. What does the growth mind-set believe?A. Admitting failure is shameful.B. Talent comes with one’s birth.C. Scores should be highly valued.D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.11. What should parents do for their children based on Dweek’s study?A. Encourage them to learn from failures.B. Prevent them from making mistakes.C. Guide them in doing little things.D. Help them grow with praise.DTo solve a big environmental problem, chemists in the Czech Republic have been thinking small. Really small. Their new minirobot has one purpose: to help clean up tiny bits of plastic polluting waterways across the globe.Each new robot is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. They are magnetic (有磁性的) and shaped like stars. When sunlight hits them, they produce chemical reactions that push them through water in a specific direction. When they find a piece of plastic, they stick to it and start to break it down. When the light goes out, they let go and are free to be used again.“This work is great,” says Douglas Blackiston at Tufts University in Medford, Mass. He’s a biologist who did not work on the project but knows about such devices. He’s been designing robots out of living cells, including some that might help with pollution cleanup. Speaking of the new one, he mentions that, “These robots can eat plastic. They chew it up. Or they can recover it and be collected with a magnet. Scientists love r obots with all these capabilities. ”Chemist Martin Pumera at the Czech University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague led the project. He studies ways to build microrobots. About a decade ago, he says, scientists began developing tiny bots that could move themselves in water. Then, they had to find them a mission and thought “Let’s make them do something useful.” Since then, Pumera has focused on the problem posed by microplastics, which are everywhere—from the bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice atop mountains. They’ve turned up in drinking water, both bottled and tap water, and some studies estimate that trillions of pieces of plastic end up in the world’s waters. The plastic has many sources, from drinking straws and shopping bags to laundry and cleaning wipes. Plastic doesn’t easily degrade or fall apart, and that’s always been one of its appeals.Pumera says his final goal is to make cheap and environmentally friendly robots that can be used anywhere in the world.12. What do the new robots mainly do?A. To collect tiny bits of plastic in the seaB. To push the pollution in water awayC. To help do research into the plasticD. To deal with the plastic in water13. How do the new robots get powered?A. By starsB. By plasticC. By sunlightD. By living cells14. Why did Pumera take part in the project?A. Because of public attention to the plasticB. Because of the challenges from the plasticC. Because he was asked to do so by other scientistsD. Because he was inspired by the invention of microrobots15. What is the best title of the article?A. Small robots, big dreamsB. No plastic in water anymore!C. Robots, winners against plasticD. The fight between robots and plastic第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分,满分12.5分）阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
