AAlexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad’s car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. “Dad, there’s a deer there!” Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer’s head was bent toward the g round. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. “I knew I was in trouble.” Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman’s terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. “I was kicking it to get its attention.’’ she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.Alexis helped Sue into the car and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue’s injured leg. “We’re going to get you to a hospital.” Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer’s head and neck, but the blows didn’t scare it away. “I was losing faith.” she says. “A couple more s trikes. Alexis.” said her father. “You can do it.”Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer’s neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.Alexis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the ne arest hospital. After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. “You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help,” she says, “not to beat up a deer.”1.

Apart from me there are a few old ladies who have come to the court and a class of 14-15 year-olds with their teacher.9:05 Court starts. First case: Henry P.，47, divorced, charged with being drunk. He refused to leave a pub at closing time and caused a bit of damage when the police tried to arrest him. P. said he had had an argument with his boss and could not face going home to an empty flat.9:50 Mrs F., 72, shoplifting (店内偷窃). Apparently Mrs F. had stolen a frozen chicken, which she had hidden under her hat (At this the school children burst out laughing and even the judges have difficulty keeping a straight face). The chicken was so cold that she fell unconscious, otherwise she would probably not have been caught. Mrs F, in tears, says she had not eaten meat for three weeks. It turns out that, although she has the old - age pension, she does not know about other forms of support.10:30 Peter D., 19. D. stole, or rather “borrowed” a motorcycle, intending, he said, to give it back to the owner after trying it out.D.’s father is at sea and the mother is left to bring up fourchildren, of whom Peter is the eldest, by herself.11:00 Mrs A., 45, a doctor’s wife, president of a local ladies’ club, was caught leaving a fashion shop wearing two dresses, only one of which belonged to her. Admitting that she had wanted to steal the dress, she could not explain why.21. What did Henry P. do when he was caught?A. He damaged the pub.B. He attacked the police.C. He bothered other customers.D. He quarreled with his boss.22. How would the author feel about Mrs F.’s life?A. Active.B. Amusing.C. Pitiful.D. Ridiculous.23.

A few hours later, themoon is overhead but seems to have changed. The huge orange globe has become a small silver disk. What has happened? Why has the orange color disappeared? Why does the moon seem so much smaller and farther away now that it is overhead?The moon appears orange on the horizon because we view it through the dust of the atmosphere. The overhead moon does not really shrink as it moves away from the horizon. Our eyes inform us that the overhead moon is farther away. But in this position the moon is actually closer to our eyes than when it is near the horizon.The change in size is a trick our eyes and minds play on us. When the moon is low in the sky, we can compare its size with familiar objects. It is easy to see that the moon is much larger than trees or buildings, for example. When the moon is high in the sky, however, it is hard to compare it with objects on earth. Compared to the vastness of the sky, the moon seems small. There is another reason why the moon seems to shrink. We are used to staring at objects straight ahead of us. When an object is difficult to see, our eyes have to try to focus on it. When we move our heads back to look up, we will try hard again. Looking at something from an unaccustomed position can fool you intobelieving an object is smaller or farther away than it is. However, scientists do not yet understand completely why the moon seems to shrink as it rises in the sky.24. What makes us puzzled when the moon is high in the sky?A. It looks different.B. It becomes large.C. Its color disappears.D. Its shape changes.25. What really happens when the moon floats farther away from the horizon?A. It turns orange.B. It comes nearer.C. It goes farther.D. It gets through dust.26. What does the author intend to suggest by mentioning trees and buildings in Para. 3?A. They are low on earth.B. They are large objects.C. They can affect our judgment.D. They can attract our attention.27. What can we infer from the text?A. The size of the moon often changes.B. We do not see the moon as it really is.C. The moon is beginning to shrink much.D. The moon is in fact a huge orange globe.4.（8分）CThe sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. Time was running out. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. She trusted him. This was the first year she had left him alone for three hours between school and the time she got home from work. She had to work to buy his clothes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. He remembered the nice way she said, “You are a little man now, Joy.” It made him sad when his mother’s words came back to him. She trusted him. Remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. Her trust in him was all he could think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. “She trusted me.” He kept saying to himself. “She trusted me.” This was most important. Next to this, the pipe and its magic power meant nothing.Joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. He now knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps.Now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. He was out of breath when he reached the store.Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joy wished he had not. Somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for Joy to do what he wanted to do. Joy was lost for a moment. His feet felt heavy. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.“Mr. Dow,” he said at last, “I didn’t mean to take it.”“Thanks, Joy.” Mr. Dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boy’s hand. “How about staying around and helping me close up the shop?”Joy felt Mr. Dow’s big hand on his shoulder. And Joy felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.28. What kind of a life did Joy and his mother live?A. A poor life.B. A new life.C. A happy life.D.A modem life.29. Why did Joy feel like being hurt by something sharp?A. He felt sorry for his mother.B. He couldn’t help thefamily.C. He had run away from school.D. He disappointed his mother’s expectations.30. What do we know about Mr. Dow’s smile to Joy?A. It’s broad.B. It’s warm.C. It’s false.D. It’s secret.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. An Interesting PipeB. A Powerful SmileC. Unconditional LoveD. Magic Trust5.（8分）DAmericans recognize that there is a past on which the present rests. But they have not developed their sense of the depth of time as much as this has been done in the Middle East and South Asia. The Arab looks back two to six thousand years for his own origins. History is used as the basis for almost any modem action. The chances are that an Arab won’ start a talk or a speech or analyze a problem without first developing the historical aspects of his subject. The American assumes that time has depths but he seldom stresses its importance of it.The American never questions the fact that time should be planned and future events should be fitted into a schedule. He thinks that people should look forward to the future and not talk too much on the past. His future is not very far ahead of him. Results must be obtained in the foreseeable future — one or two years or, at the most, five or ten. Promises to meet deadlines and appointments are taken very seriously. There is real punishment for being late and for not keeping commitments in time. The American thinks it is natural to calculate the value of time. To fail to do so is unthinkable. The American calculates how much time is required to do everything. “I’ll be there in ten minutes.” “It will take six months to finish that job.” “I was in the Army for four and a half years.”The Americans, like so many other people, also use time as a link that chains events together. If one event occurs on the heels of another, we will certainly try to find a causal relationship between them. If A is seen around the area of B's murder shortly after the crime has been committed we automatically form a connection between A and B. However, events which are separated by too much time are difficult for us to connect in our minds. This makes it almost impossible for us as a nation to engage (从事) in long-range planning.32. How do Americans see past time according to the first paragraph?A. It’s valueless.B. It’s limited.C. It reflects today.D. It helps start a talk.33. What does the underlined phrase “to do so” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. To calculate the value of the past.B. To plan a schedule for future events.C. To figure out the importance of time.D. To meet deadlines and appointments.34. When will Americans chain two events together?A. When common evidence is found.B. When the two events happen one by one.C. When A is found near the scene of B’s crime.D. When one event happens long after another.35. What does the author mainly want to tell Americans to do?A. See time further.B. Make a long-range plan.C. Remember the past time.D. Keep their commitments.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）In the villages of Mexico, as in some other parts of the world, shopping is a kind of game.

AThere once lived in China a very foolish king and queen. One day the queen had a baby daughter. When they saw their baby, they both cried out, “My goodness! How small it is! It’s hairless and toothless! It’s a monster!” They sent for a ll the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.“When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,” the king said, “If you don’t do this, you’ll have a beating.”The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king’s order. Just then an old doctor stepped forward. “Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,” he said, “but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the Kunlun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years. So we need twelve years.”At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents with long black hair and beautiful teeth. The king and queen were very happy and gave the doctors expensive presents.1.Which of the following words can not describe the baby ______.A.toothlessB. hairlessC. unusualD. small2.The old doctor wanted to keep the king’s daughter for twelve years because ______.A. they needed a lot of different plantsB. they need a lot of different mineralsC. this would give the baby time to grow upD. they had to dig a mineral the snow melted for the second time3.______ the king wouldn’t have given them expensive presents.A. If doctors had not brought back a beautiful girlB. If the daughter were still a monster twelve years laterC. If the doctors had not been able to prepare the magic medicineD. If the doctors hadn’t found the mineralsBHave you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure (奇遇)? Riding the train can be a real adventure. That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak. I often take a four-hour trip to visit my children. Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride, there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation---in another language. It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train. I thought it was annoying.Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two-day trip by train. She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home, although she had no trouble driving. The train ride was the only choice for her. She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents. That is a very good question. Both of us are old and have children. She asked that same question from time to time.There are always many people on the train from all walks of life, different countries, and many languages. Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures. If you get hungry, you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.It sure beats driving the car, which has to stop for food and restrooms. And it is better than taking the bus.4. According to the passage, the purpose of the author’s train ride was ______.A. to do businessB. to see her childrenC. to visit places of interestD. to see her old friends5. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 3?A. Disappointed.B. Satisfied.C. Worried.D. Pleased.6. Which of the following is TRUE about the old lady sitting next to the author?A.She is too old to drive now.B.She does not like to take trains.C.Although she is old, she has a good memory.D.Her daughters live far away from her home.7. In the author’s opinion, on the train Amtrak ______.A.the services are quite goodB. the food is terribly expensiveC. all the passengers are politeD. all the passengers are AmericanCForgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probablydon’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk(绿巨人) get angry, they change colors and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Fo rgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath o r thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.8. The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear ______.A. by raising his own examplesB. by mentioning some studiesC. based on his own experienceD. by mentioning some typical patients9. The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to ______.A. show how to control one’s temperB. introduce a famous expertC. let the reader know the different colors of cartoon facesD. show that anger and hatred can result in physical and mental harm10. People who are able to forgive may suffer less .A. stressB. depressionC. sleeping troubleD. all the above11. The best title for this passage is probably _______.A. ForgivenessB. Forgiveness Is Good for HealthC. A Secret to Keeping HealthD. Anger Is Bad for HealthDWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French wouldhave stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits.

江苏省重点高级中学2023-2024学年高二上学期10月考试英语试卷（含答案）江苏省南菁高级中学高二英语10月考试卷I 阅读理解（每小题2.5分，共37.5分）ADubai's Museum of the Future, named as one of the 14 most beautiful museums on the planet in a list by National Geographic magazine this July, opened in February 2023.

Videoing the regular exhibition to share with friends.BThey talk about the straw that broke the camel’s back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.I was going along fine with instant recall of my bank PIN (密码)，my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin's birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “IHateHearlessOilCompanies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as I added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn't write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people’s names. You know, you form an association between a person's characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George, Skinny George” in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it's possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer's greatest hits, together with the year of their release.Maybe I’ll try that one out--but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I'll hide it in a place so secret that I’ll never remember where it is.4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphsA. He fell for a marketing trick.B. He was driven mad by passwords.C. He had a serious memory disorder.D. He was rejected by the gas station.5. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, the author intends to ______.A. show how secure his passwords wereB. challenge the intelligence of scientistsC. prove the uselessness of his passwordsD. promote a more scientific password system6. What is the author’s purpose in writing the textA. To encourage readers to use password notebooks.B. To recommend a password-remembering method.C. To complain about the trouble caused by passwords.D. To point out the importance of using complex passwords.7. What is the tone of the textA. Inspiring.B. Indifferent.C. Humorous.D. Serious.CNo one likes interruption. We are born to seek balance and order. No matter what it is that you are doing, being interrupted involves a forceful stop midway and then having to re-enter your previous state, sometimes with great difficulty.Popular belief has it that interruption breaks the flow of your thinking and affects productivity negatively, and so it is advisable that you have an uninterrupted session of intensive work before your next break. However, a Russian psychologist, Bluma Zeigarnik, might tell you otherwise.The connection between interruption and memory came to her attention when she was dining in a restaurant. She noticed how the waitresses had an amazing memory of the detailed orders yet to be paid for, but scarce memory of the orders that were already completed.Back in her laboratory, she conducted studies in which subjects were required to complete various puzzles. Some of the subjects were interrupted during the tasks. All the subjects were then asked to describe what tasks they had done. It turns out that adults remembered the interrupted tasks 90% better than the completed tasks, and that children were even more likely to recall the uncompleted tasks. In other words, uncompleted tasks will stay on your mind until you finish them!In comparison to tasks that were already finished and ones that we haven’t even started, half-done projects are given the priority in themental to-do list our brains sketch out for us. Zeigarnik described this finding in her doctoral thesis (论文) in the late 1920s, which was later called Zeigarnik effect.One possible explanation is that with interrupted tasks, we are desperate for their closure to reclaim a sense of balance. Finishing them also means that we can finally clear up the mental backlog (积压的工作) and give the space to more upcoming tasks.Zeigarnik’s effect can be found everywhere, especially used in media and advertising. Have you ever wondered why cliffhangers work so well or why you just can’t get yourself to stop watching that series on Netflix Ernest Hemingway once said about writing a novel, “It is the wait until the next day that is hard to get through.” So next time, when you are interrupted, appreciate it and take advantage of it to promote your productivity.What is a common practice to finish a taskA. Working in a focused period.B. Working with occasional breaks.C. Working with a stop midway.D. Working in an interrupted session. What is the finding of the Zeigarnik’s experimentA. Interruption recalls details.B. Interruption betters memory.C. Interruption disturbs balance.D. Interruption reduces productivity.10. Which of the following is an example of the application of Zeigarnik’s effectA. Fashion shows.B. Online news.C. Talk shows.D. TV series.11.What is the possible reason behind Zeigarnik’s effectA. The desire for balance.B. The physical backlog.C. The outside pressure.D. The upcoming tasks.DMosquitoes carry malaria (疟疾), which kills thousands of people each year. Now some researchers are trying to use genetic engineering to make the annoying insects into partners in the fight against the disease. For years, public health officials have tried to limit the disease by controlling mosquito populations. “But that approach is temporary,” says Anthony James, a professor of biology and genetics at the University of California, Irvine, “Because mosquitoes are extremely tough little insects, and their populations can quickly rebound.”Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different approach: making mosquitoes themselves into malaria-fighting warriors, which is a complete departure from traditional ways of controlling malaria.To understand how it works, it helps to understand the life cycle of malaria. The malaria pathogen (病原体) is a parasite (寄生虫) that grows inside humans. It’s passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking blood. “If we can make the mosquitoes difficult for the pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the disease,” he says. But makingmosquitoes uninviting to malaria is a tough job.To solve the problem, the team used a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. They started with genes from mice, whose immune systems do fight human malaria, engineered those genes, and then gave them to the mosquitoes.It turned out the malaria-fighting antibodies which gene-edited mosquitoes produced worked very well. They reduced the number of parasites in the mosquito before they were passed to a human host. James’ team are now working on planning a field trial, which he hopes could be conducted on an island or in another isolated location.But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with environmentalists. “There’s no need to engineer a mosquito,” says Dana Perls, senior program manager for the emerging technology program at the non-profit Friends of the Earth. Perls points out that naturally occurring methods for reducing malaria appear to be showing promise, as does a new vaccine (疫苗) against the disease. “Why take unnecessary risks and release a species that can’t be recalled once it’s released into the wild ” she asks.What can we know from the second and third paragraphsMosquitoes reproduce quickly.Mosquitoes depart from malaria.Mosquitoes are malaria-fighting warriors.Mosquitoes’ populations are under control.According to the text, which of the following are attractive to the malaria pathogenMice. B. Parasites. C. Mosquitoes. D. Gene-edited mosquitoes. What is environmentalists’ attitude toward this new approach Tolerant. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Disapproving.What is the best title for the textLimiting Malaria by Controlling Mosquito PopulationsControlling Malaria by editing Mosquitoes’ genesCuring Malaria with Gene-edited MosquitoesPreventing Malaria with a new vaccineII 七选五（每小题2.5分，共12.5分）Does your cat or dog suddenly get a burst of energy and perform athletic features around the house Welcome to the world of zoomies—intense periods of high-energy activity including running, jumping and rolling. You might see post-bath zoomies, midnight zoomies and out of-nowhere zoomies. They have a lot in common with play. 16 If the zoomies are occurring as part of your animal’s regular play routine, this implies your animal is enjoying themselves. We don't yet know if zoomies are more likely to occur at certain times of the day, or more in some than others. 17Zoomies are mentioned a lot, but there is also little scientific research onwhat causes them, or how often they occur. Yet some conclusions can be drawn from experience. 18 In dogs, this is commonly a play bow- where the dog appears to “bow” to another to signal it is eager to play. In cats, an invitation may include repeatedly rolling over. If this is the case, your animal is likely experiencing excitement and a desire to interact with you.19 Context is key. You should consult with your vet (兽医) if your dog or cat is displaying the behaviour (in particular, circling) for too long. It might be a sign of a repetitive behaviour disorder. If you struggle to distract or stop the behaviour, or if it is resulting in injuries, seek professional assistance.Even if you don't get the call of the zoomies yourself, take a moment to enjoy and even join your dog or cat in having fun. 20A. Sometimes we all need to run wild.B. This makes zoomies a whole load of fun.C. It is our duty to figure out what they want exactly.D. Nothing is more annoying than a midnight zoomie.E. However, we do consider them evidence of a pretty good mood.F. Sometimes, however, zoomies may be a sign of a medical condition.G. In dogs and cat, zoomies can include an invitation for others to join.III 完形填空（每小题1分，共15分）Rebecka Peterson, a high school math teacher, is the nation’s 2023Teacher of the Year.

But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses. The adults teach them these skills.There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours, some of the teenagers learn photo taking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.When people live together, rules are necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen?

When everybody was gone, he brought me to open a large box, it was a set of boxing gloves．We put them on．My dad kept on beating me mercilessly（无情地）．Each time I tried to get up,leather kissed my nose, eyes and jaw. I begged him to stop. He said he beat me to get me ready for the tough world.That same year, I was the only kid in my neighborhood that wasn’t picked for Little League. Two weeks later, Dad started the Shedd Park Minor League, and every kid played. Dad coached us and made me a pitcher（棒球投手）.The power of my dad’s love guaranteed I walked and more. In high school, I became a football star.In 1997, a brain surgeon in San Jose told me I didn’t have cerebral palsy after all. He explained how and where the doctor’s forceps（镊子）at birth had damaged my brain.My dad never knew the whole truth since he passed away years ago. But all that c ounts is the bottom line.

But that is not to say everyone spends the same amount (量) of time or effort on making their places tidy. A new survey by CIF-experts on making cleaning jobs easier shows that when it comes to washing windows or cleaning the oven (炉), where you live in the UK may show how much effort you put into the job.BATHROOM25% of men have never cleaned the toilet, but those in Wales are the worst. Nearly four in ten Welsh men said They never cleaned anywhere in the house. Hate cleaning the shower head? You are not alone - a quarter of a million British people say the same. 20% of Scottish people regard window-cleaning as their most hated job.KITCHEN36% of people in the southeast say cleaning the cooker is their hated task. 68% of those in the northeast spend more than six hours a week cleaning their homes, especially the kitchen. In sharp contrast (强烈的对比) to that, 49% of Welsh people put their hands up to cleaning for under an hour.BEDROOM18% believe cleamng starts here: the percentage of women who clean wearing their dressing gowns (a kind of clothes). 51% of women in the northwest may be staying in bed and giving their husbands a cuddle (拥抱) as a" thank you" for helping them clean. In other places, there are far fewer helpful men.LIVINGROOM32% of women in the northeast tum up the CD player to help make the cleaning more fun. Almost six in ten women agree, however, that cleaning is seriously energetic exercise.★SHIFT (除掉)' THE DIRT WITH CIF! *It's no secret that the right cleaning products will cut cleaning time and effort in half and no one knows that better than CIF. For all your cleaning needs, here are some of CIF s top tips:●Stop a lot of build-up on your shower head. Give it a quick squirt (喷) with CIF bathroom spray (喷剂) once a week.●Stainless steel (不锈钢) tools seem to need endless cleaning. The CIF Wild Orchid Oxy-Gel lifts dirt easily and leaves the kitchen smelling fresh and clean.●Cooking outside? CIF cream will get your barbecue (烧烤) completely clean, ready for those long, lazy summer evemngs. Perfect!8. The main purpose of this passage is to _______.A. tell us the results of a certain surveyB. advertise a certain cleaning productC. show us which is the hardest job at homeD. advise men to do more cleaning housework9. According to the survey, ______ spend the most time cleaning their homes.A. people in WalesB. people in the northwestC. people in the southeastD. people in the northeast10. CIF in the passage probably refers to ______.A. an organization doing research on houseworkB. some experts who give advice on doing houseworkC. a company providing advice and products on cleaningD. a TV show about providing cleaning products二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）4.（10分）How did you learn how to ride your bike？Someone probably gave you a few lessons and then you practiced a lot．11 No one is born to know how to study．You need to learn a few study skills and then practice them．12 Do you have trouble paying attention in class？Are you sitting next to a loud person？Is it hard to see the board？Make sure you're sitting in a good seat that lets you pay attention．Tell your teacher or parents about any problems that are preventing you from paying attention and taking good notes．13 ．Waiting until Thursday night to study for Friday's test will make a homework night no fun! It also makes it hard to do your best．We're all guilty of putting things off sometimes．One of the best ways to make sure that doesn't happen is to plan ahead．Break it up! When there's a lot to study，it can help to break things into chunks（大块）．Let's say you have a test on 20 spelling words．Instead of thinking about all of the words at once，try breaking them down into a five-word chunks and working on one or two different chunks each night．Ask for help．You can't study effectively if you don't understand the material．14 You can check yourself by reading through your notes．Does it all make sense？If not，ask your teacher to go over it with you．Get a good night's sleep．So the test is tomorrow and you've followed your study plan-but suddenly you can't remember anything，not even 2+2! Don't worry．Your brain needs time to digest（消化）all the information you've given it．Try to get a good night's sleep．15A．Plan ahead for tests and projects．B．Study regularly instead of just the night before．C．You can learn how to study in much the same way．D．You'll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning．E．If you're studying math or science，do some practice problems．F．Be sure to ask your teacher for help if you're confused about something．G．Good studying starts in class．三、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分30分）5.（30分） I was a person who always felt desperate before.

江苏省无锡市外国语学校2023-2024学年高二上10月月考英语试题

Cook my kids good dishes, and take them to photo shoots. But compared with Dick Hoyt, I suck. Eighty-five times he’s pushed his disabled son, Rick, in marathons.This love story began in Winchester, Mass., 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled (缠住)by the umbilical cord（脐带）during birth, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs (四肢). “He’ll be a vegetable（植物人）the rest of his life,” doctors told Dick and his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old. “Put him in an institution.” But the Hoyts weren’t buying it. They noticed the way Rick’s eyes followed them around the room.When Rick was 11, they took him to the engineering department at Tufts University. Equipped with a computer, Rick was finally able to communicate. After a high school classmate was paralyzed（使瘫痪）in an accident, and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick said, “Dad, I want to do that.” How was Dick, a man who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he tried. That day changed Rick’s life. “Dad,” he typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled anymore!”That sentence changed Dick’s life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. They even decided to try marathons. “No way,” Dick was told by a race official. They weren’t quite a single runner, and they weren’t quite a wheelchair competitor.For a few years, Dick and Rick joined the massive field and ran anyway. In 1983, they ran another marathon so fast that they made the qualifying time for the Boston Marathon the following year.Now they’ve done 212 triathlons and 85 marathons. “ My dad is the Father of the Century,” Rick typed.4．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?A．The Hoyts didn’t believe it was true.B．The Hoyts couldn’t afford any institution.C．The Hoyts couldn’t deal with the situation.D．The Hoyts had no money for their son’s treatment.5．What’s discussed in the third paragraph?A．Why Rick became paralyzed.B．How Rick started running.C．Why running changed Rick’s life D．How Rick communicated with others. 6．They got the chance to join the 1984 Boston Marathon because __________.A．they ran a marathon very fast B．they got support from a charityC．they met a sympathetic race official D．they had become very famous in the process7．Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．A boy with a rare disease B．The greatest dad in the worldC．A tough road to world champion D．Parents' influence on children's futureIf you had boarded a passenger plane in 1950, you would have seen five people in the cockpit (驾驶舱): two pilots, a radio operator, a navigator and a flight engineer. Over the years, technical advances have gradually removed the need for the last three, leaving just two pilots. That has been the norm (标准) in commercial aviation for decades.However, things could be simplified further — one of the two remaining pilots could soon go. Many military aircraft are already manned by a single pilot, and for commercial aviation this would mean stepping into a brave new world.But how will airlines make this brave innovation come true? One way is to greatly increase automation in the cockpit, devoting more tasks to computers. Another is to shift the same tasks from the cockpit to the ground. “The latter approach seems to be more workable, at least in the short term, because much of what is required already exists,” says Patrick Smith, an airline pilot flying Boeing 767 aircraft. “A trained ground operator could observe a numberof flights at once and even fully control the plane remotely if needed.”It’s true that single-pilot operations could help airlines save money, but there is another reason which makes them quicken their pace for this crucial breakthrough. Boeing predicts a need for 600,000 new pilots in the next two decades, but by some estimates, there will be a deficit (赤字) of at least 34,000 pilots globally by 2025. Reducing the number of pilots on some crews or aircraft could lessen the impact of this.Perhaps the biggest barrier to a single pilot will be selling the idea to passengers. In 2019, Don Hairis, a professor at Coventry University, conducted a survey on the prospect of flying on an airliner with just one pilot. Just a minority of participants said they’d be willing to take that flight, and the general idea was that removing a pilot increased the possibility of accidents. In the study, Harris concluded that the single-crew airliner would be still probably 20 years away.8．What is the potential trend in commercial aviation according to the text?A．It will make air travel eco-friendly.B．It will switch to single-pilot operations.C．It will tighten its flight control for safety concerns.D．It will bring in many military aircraft to the industry.9．What does Patrick Smith think is a quick way to realize airlines’ brave innovation?A．Raising the standards in admitting new pilots.B．Making pilots adaptable to different situations.C．Using computers to automate the flight process.D．Gaining piloting support from ground operators.A．The shortage of pilots.B．The need for new airlines.C．The airlines’ brave innovation.D．The financial problem airlines face. 11．What can be inferred from Don Harris’ study?A．The prospect of single-crew airliners is bright.B．It's urgent that airlines reduce airplane accidents.C．Passengers are willing to try new types of airplanes.D．Airlines have a long way to go before the innovation occurs.This week, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an AI tool builtto create music. The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words.Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one- or two-word descriptions, such as “jazz”, “rock” or “techno (高科技舞曲)”. The tool also created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences.In one example, Google researchers included these instructions to MusicLM, “It is a soundtrack of a game. It is fast-paced and upbeat, with a catchy electric guitar riff (反复乐节). The music is repetitive and easy to remember, but with unexpected sounds ...” In the resulting recording, the music seemed to keep very close to the description. The team said the more detailed the description was, the better the system could attempt to produce it.The MusicLM model operates similarly to the machine-learning systems used by ChatGPT. ChatGPT and MusicLM both require powerful computers to operate complex machine-learning models. The San Francisco-based company OpenAI launched ChatGPT late last year. ChatGPT has recently received a lot of attention because of its ability to generate complex writings and other content from just a simple description in natural languages. Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. Many different materials are fed into the systems to permit them to learn complex skills to create realistic works.However, the MusicLM researchers said there were some risks linked to the new tool. One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases (偏好) present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other. The researchers said this raised a question about appropriateness for music generation for cultures underrepresented in the training data.12．What can we learn about MusicLM?A．It is the first AI music tool to be launched.B．It requires detailed descriptions of full sentences.C．It creates music based on simple descriptive words.D．It generates complex writings from a simple description.13．What is the similarity between ChatGPT and MusicLM?A．They can take the place of musicians.B．They have gained commercial success.C．They don't have any practical use in life.D．They are based on huge amounts of data. 14．Which of the following is an issue of the MusicLM model?A．Creating music with strong biases.B．Requiring too much training data.C．Being difficult for some people to use.D．Producing music works with nocreativity.15．What would be the best title for the text?A．The future of humans with AI B．A new AI tool to make musicC．Music created by some AI tools D．AI and its function in culturedevelopment二、七选五found that college men who spent 10 minutes jumping rope daily for six weeks improved their cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness just as much as college men who spent thirty minutes jogging for the same time. Here are some benefits of jumping rope.17Since most of your major muscles are working when you jump rope, the exercise creates a lot of heat in the body. Your body needs to burn more fuel to produce this energy, so it burns lots of calories. It burns more calories than any other exercises, such as jogging, cycling and swimming.Improves coordination (协调)Jumping rope requires good coordination, especially as you advance to more skilled moves. 18 It improves coordination by requiring several body parts to communicate in order to complete one movement. The feet must jump in time with the wrists turning in order to create a continuous jumping motion.Reduces injury riskWith your improved coordination from jumping rope, you’ll be less likely to get hurt either during exercise or in daily activities. 19 As a result, you are more agile (灵活的) and your body awareness is improved greatly. This guarantees fewer injuries.Improves heart healthSince jumping rope gets your heart pumping, it’s great for your cardiovascular systemand heart health. Jumping rope can increase your VO2 Max (最大摄氧量), the measure of the maximum amount of oxygen a person can breathe during exercise. The higher someone’s VO2 max, the more cardiovascular endurance (耐受力) they have.Jumping rope gives us a full-body workout with just one piece of equipment and one move. 20 Jump to some music, or take your rope to a nearby park to enjoy the fun.A．Burns caloriesB．Improves musclesC．It benefits us not only physically but also mentally.D．You can quickly swing the rope twice within each jump.E．It may even be more effective than other forms of exercise.F．Jumping rope forces you to move your upper and lower body together.G．So jumping rope helps you stay calm, clear and focused in everything you do.三、完形填空Najam Hashi (also named Nujuum) is a respected female artist, whose paintings arecould make a living from.She 35 opening a school one day for other talented local artists, enabling them to choose art as a career too.21．A．strange B．intelligent C．ambitious D．typical 22．A．protected B．discouraged C．helped D．secured 23．A．peaceful B．comfortable C．terrible D．civilized 24．A．compared B．refused C．determined D．failed 25．A．somewhere B．nowhere C．everywhere D．where 26．A．shore B．table C．station D．store 27．A．imagination B．extinction C．reality D．danger 28．A．survival B．relief C．excellence D．reward 29．A．concerned B．likely C．optimistic D．aware 30．A．in general B．in person C．in shock D．in secret 31．A．normal B．confusing C．useful D．strange 32．A．pressure B．shame C．consequence D．extent 33．A．advantage B．opportunity C．intention D．choice 34．A．tendency B．appreciation C．interest D．entertainment 35．A．approves of B．dreams of C．consists of D．knows of四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Late one evening, Jayasree, who had recently been diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s, got up in her nightdress and went to make tea at her home in India. After she returned to her bedroom, Chadalavada went into the kitchen to find that his grandmother had left the gas on!Chadalavada decided to invent a wearable device to help people like his grandmother. Now aged 17, Chadalavada is ready to start making the Alpha Monitor. The device, which can be worn as an armband, sets off an alarm when the wearer with Alzheimer’s starts to move and warns a caregiver if the patient falls or wanders off.Most similar devices run on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so when a person moves out of their frequencies’ limited range the connection is lost and with it the monitoring. But the Alpha Monitor can detect a person more than a mile away in cities and three miles in the countryside thanks to the long-range technology, known as LoRa, it uses.Teaching himself with YouTube videos about robotics and electronics, Chadalavada has developed several prototypes (模型). To understand the needs of people with Alzheimer’s, he spent time in a day centre run by the Alzheimer’s and Related Disorders Society of India. There, the cofounder told him that the device “had to be something light that can be worn on any part of the body”. She says: “Many patients don’t like having to wear a watch and they take it off.”In March, when Chadalavada’s school exams are over, he will put the finishing touches to the monitor, with the aim of getting the device ready for market by September. He is confident that it should be sold at an affordable price for most people.Chadalavada hopes to study robotics at a university abroad. His aim is simple: “I want to create products to help people in India for the whole world.”4．Why did Chadalavada invent the Alpha Monitor?A．To treat Alzheimer’s.B．To entertain senior citizens.C．To improve Alzheimer’s caregiving.D．To ensure fire safety at the elderly’s homes.5．What is an advantage of the Alpha Monitor?A．It is more comfortable to wear.B．It has a longer service time.C．It offers a remoter monitoring.D．It uses higher frequency controls.6．What did Chadalavada want to explore while he spent time in a day centre?A．Where his invention could be polished.B．What people with Alzheimer’s felt like.C．How Alzheimer’s disease could be cured.D．Whether his invention would be profitable.7．What can we learn about Chadalavada from the text?A．He enjoys living simply.B．He has an innovative mind.C．He used to be a health worker.D．He longs to be a robotics professor.The impact of technology on language is a topic that often causes concern, with many assuming that it is simply ruining it. However, language experts resist such pessimism, noting that there is little evidence to support the view that speech is getting worse. Gretchen McCulloch, in her book Because Internet, focuses on what can be learned about language from the internet rather than talking about its supposed negative effects.McCulloch compares studying language online to growing bacteria (细菌) in a Petri dish,where trends emerge and disappear quickly, allowing language experts to observe changes that would otherwise take a considerable amount of time. The influence of strong ties like friends or family vs weaker ties on language change is analyzed, with computer simulations (模拟) revealing that having both strong and weaker ties helps spread updates in a community.The role of social media platforms in language change is also discussed. Twitter, with its mix of strong and weak ties, is shown to drive more language change than Facebook, which is controlled by stronger ties. Emoji is highlighted as a universal digital expression of gestures, not a language. Additionally, there is evidence that the use of internet“innovations”such as“omg”datesback to pre-computer eras.McCulloch’s book focuses on the birth of a new medium rather than a new language. The rise of mass writing on the internet, characterized by frequent, error-filled, and short-lived communication, challenges traditional ideas about writing’s importance. McCulloch suggests future historians should see this as a return to more casual (随意的) language, paying more attention to the value of tools that improve social interaction online. The book argues against the idea that these changes might lead to the end of “real” writing, advocating for an appreciation of anything that enhances human connection and the enjoyment of each other’s company.8．How might McCulloch sound in her book Because Internet?A．Sensitive.B．Scientific.C．Pessimistic.D．Dismissive. 9．What does paragraph 3 focus on?A．The development of digital language.B．The difference between social media platforms.C．The influence of the internet on language change.D．The connection between humans and the internet.10．Which of the following would McCulloch probably agree with?A．Interpersonal bonds play a role in online communication.B．Formal language is unlikely to improve social interaction.C．The birth of new media has removed writing’s importance.D．Mass writing can make web-based conversations effective.11．What would be the best title for the text?A．How to Achieve Network Effect?B．Technology, Fear or Convenience?C．What If Faced with Media Terms?D．Internet Degrades or Helps Speech?Bottled water has long been marketed as a safe drink—if it doesn’t come straight from a mountain spring, it’s at least clean and free of chemicals. But a new study demonstrates that bottled water may not be so safe when it comes to microscopic plastic pollutants capable of passing into the bloodstream.For years scientists have raised the alarm over microplastics, which form when plastics break down into increasingly smaller particles (微粒), ranging from five millimeters down to onemicrometer. Previous studies have found that a liter of bottled water can contain tens of thousands of identifiable plastic particles. But they stopped at the one micrometer level due to technological restrictions.The study used a new technology to find even smaller particles, and detected an average240,000 plastic particles per liter of bottled water. About 90% of the particles were considered nanoplastics, smaller than one micrometer. Unlike microplastics, they are capable of passing through some organs like lungs into the bloodstream. From there they can stay in the heart muscle and other organs, pass into the brain, and even into the bodies of unborn babies.So far, little research shows what nanoplastics exactly do once they enter the bloodstream. But there is much evidence that chemicals used in plastic production are bad for human health. Even if nanoplastics themselves are not deleterious, they can serve as carriers for the dangerous chemicals, increasing the risk of cancer and impacting key organs such as the heart.“There is a huge world of nanoplastics to be studied,” said the researchers. Even if nanoplastics make up 90% of the number of plastic particles found in bottled water, they make up far less in mass, they said. However, this fact provides little comfort: It’s the numbers rather than mass that matter; and the smaller things are, the more readily they can get inside us.12．What does the technological barrier in the previous studies concern?A．The number of microscopic plastics.B．The quality of water bottles.C．The distribution of plastic pollutants.D．The size of plastic particles.13．What does the text imply about microplastics?A．They are not very likely to pollute bottled water.B．Their number per liter of bottled water is constant.C．They are less potentially risky to health than nanoplastics.D．Their number in springs is larger than that of nanoplastics.14．What does the underlined word “deleterious” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Large.B．Useless.C．Safe.D．Harmful. 15．Why do nanoplastics need further research?A．They are too small to identify.B．They have easy access to organs.C．They are dangerous regarding mass.D．They have a higher percentage in life.Why are Police Officers Called Cops?Police officers are often referred to as cops. 16 Some argue the term is shortened from “copper” and comes from copper badges (徽章) worn by a policeman. Others say that it stands for “Constabulary of Police”.General agreement on the word origins of “cop”, however, suggests that the term is based more on the policeman’s job than on his clothing or job title. In Latin, the verb capere can be defined as “to capture.” In French, the verb is caper. “To cop” in English is to seize or to take.17Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen, which also loosely translates to “to steal or take”, is related to policemen being called coppers or cops. Essentially, the police force was there to take criminals off the streets. 18 And since American English especially draws from German, French, and Latin, the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term “cop”.19 And it is no longer considered rude. However, certain other terms for police officers are definitely unwelcome. While British Police might not mind being called “bobbies”, no police members like to be referred to as “pigs” or the “fuzz”. Some don’t mind the term the “heat” as applied to the whole police force, but the police force does not generally take kindly to terms given to them by criminals.The term “cop” is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops. Even though J. Edgar Hoover once highly objected to the term, it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a police woman as a cop. 20A．The term is slightly less familiar to people.B．So, the Latin, Dutch, and French terms are all similar.C．These words define some of what a police officer does.D．The profession of a police officer was not respected then.E．But the origins of this nickname are something of a debate.F．However, the term “police officer” is generally most correct.G．Today it is appropriate to call members of the police force cops.二、完形填空As soon as the words left my mouth, I knew I'd made a mistake. “You think Jane Austen is...21 ?” the man opposite me asked in disbelief. Then, he and his colleague took turns to 22 my claim.“I just mean…” I said in a bright voice, in order to keep the tone 23 ,“that she's not as biting as Virginia Woolf.”The two professors, like a couple of cats toying with a 24 bird, gave specific examples of how Austen' s work was, 25 , more biting. With no more action to take, I simply smiled and said, “Let's just agree to disagree, shall we?” And at that moment, my dreams of going to Oxford University 26 in a puff of smoke.Part of my problem was a 27 of confidence. Even though I was a straight A student and had prepared for the interview to the best of my ability, I wasn't a skilled 28 .When faced with two experts who told me that I was wrong, instead of 29 myself, I rolled over and accepted 30 .So, months later, I already knew the 31 of my thin envelope when it appeared on my doormat. 32 ,I felt a pang of disappointment. However, failing my Oxford interview provided a 33 life lesson. I'm now more confident of my opinions, and I try to 34 my points with hard evidence. What's more, I have never since 35 a discussion by giving a simpering smile and saying, “Let's just agree to disagree, shall we?”21．A．noble B．soft C．beautiful D．clumsy 22．A．appreciate B．submit C．challenge D．substitute 23．A．pleasing B．serious C．low D．light 24．A．frightened B．brave C．fragile D．naughty 25．A．on the contrary B．by no means C．for example D．beyond expectation 26．A．developed B．arrived C．disappeared D．shifted 27．A．matter B．lack.C．sense D．kind 28．A．debater B．learner C．fighter D．educator 29．A．expressing B．behaving C．defending D．identifying 30．A．truth B．advice C．prejudice D．defeat31．A．details B．spirits C．contents D．statistics 32．A．Frequently B．Originally C．Absolutely D．Naturally 33．A．typical B．valuable C．miserable D．temporary 34．A．make up B．take up C．pick up D．back up 35．A．ended B．mended C．attended D．extended三、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

It was when I 41 my dream school, New York University, that I was faced with the biggest challenge.I 42 in a small town in southwestern Pennsylvania. Since my first year of high school, I knew that I 43 to go to a university for journalism. I 44 thought thatit would be in Pittsburgh 45 I became uneasy at the thought of staying in Pittsburgh.After hours of 46 cities, I decided that New York might be the place for me. The summer before my senior year, I planned a(n) 47 to New York University. From that moment when I 48 one of the New York University’s buildings, I knew thatthis was a place for which I would be 49 for the rest of my life.There were people who 50 me along the way. My uncle even told me that I would never 51 it more than two months in the city. I admitted that it wasn’t always 52 to spend my time here. Within the first month, I was in 53 every time I called home and part of it was the 54 of the city. I couldn’t handle the fast pace; people here were so different and the classes were all required. 55 , my parents offered me suggestions and 56 me to do better for myself.I got involved. I prepared my resume (简历) and 57 a part-time job on campus.I joined clubs and I made friends with those who had similar 58 as me. And this59 well until my graduation.My parents are always a(n) 60 to me.

Cup of coffe e? No, it’s the third most addictive thing in modern life, the cell phone．And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curb their longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships．With its shiny surface, its smooth and satisfying touch, its air of complexity, the cell phone connects us to the world even as it disconnects us from people three feet away．In just the past couple of years, the cell phone has challenged individuals, employers, phone makers and counselors（顾问）in ways its inventors in the late 1940s never imagined．The costs are becoming even more evident, and I don’t mean just the monthly bill．Dr. Chris Knippers, a counselor at the Betty Ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much differentfrom other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and an escape from reality．Sounds extreme, but we’ve all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him．Is it just rude, or is it a kind of unhealthiness? And pardon me, but how is this improving the quality of life?Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation．He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with．Despite the growing use of phones, e-mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we don’t have as many friends as our parents. “Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends,” he says．If the cell phone has truly had these effects, it’s because it has become very widespread．Consider that in 1987, there were only 1 million cell phones in use．Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them．They far outnumber wired phones in the United States．61. Which of the following best explains the title of the passage?A. Cell phone users smoke less than they used to．B. Cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettes．C. More people use cell phones than smoke cigarettes．D. Using cell phone is just as cool as smoking cigarettes．62. The underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 2 means ____．A. rescueB. ignoreC. developD. control63. The example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the ideathat ．A. women use cell phones more often than menB. talking on the phone while driving is dangerousC. cell phones do not necessarily bring people togetherD. cell phones make one-on-one personal contact easyBAt the top of a three-story brick building, Sue and Johnsy had their studio. One of the girls was from Maine; the other from California. They had met in an Eighth Street restaurant, and found their tastes in art, chicory salad and bishop sleeves so much in tune that the joint studio（画室） resulted. That was in May.In November, a cold, unseen stranger, whom the doctors called “pneumonia”, stalked（跟踪） about the district, touching one here and there with his icy fingers. Johnsy was among his victims.One morning the busy doctor invited Sue into the hallway with a bushy, gray eyebrow.“She has one chance in ten,” he said. “And that chance is for her to want to live. Your little lady has made up her mind that she’s not going to get well. Has she anything on her mind?”“She wanted to paint the Bay of Naples some day,” said Sue.“Paint? Bosh! Has she anything on her mind worth thinking about twice? A man, for instance?”“No, doctor; there is nothing of the kind.”“Well,” said the doctor. “I will do all that science can acco mplish. But whenever my patient begins to count the carriage in her funeral procession（葬礼）, I subtract 50 per cent from the power of medicines.” After the doctor had gone, Sue cried.Johnsy lay, scarcely making a movement under the bedclothes, with her face toward the window. She was looking out and counting—counting backward.“Twelve,” she said, and a little later “eleven,” and then “ten,” and “nine,” and then “eight,’ and “seven,” almost together.Sue looked out of the window. What was there to count? There was only a bare, depressing yard to be seen, and an old, old ivy vine climbed half way up the brick wall of the brick house. The cold breath of autumn had blown away its leaves, leaving it almost bare.“Six,”said Johnsy, in almost a whisp er. “They’re falling faster now. Three days ago there were almost a hundred. It made my head ache to count them. But now it’s easy. There goes another one. There are only five left now.”“Five what, dear?”“Leaves, on the ivy vine（常春藤）. When the last one falls I must go, too. I’ve known that for three days. Didn’t the doctor tell you?”“Oh, I’ve never heard of such nonsense. Don’t be so silly. Why, the doctor told me this morning that your chances for getting well soon were ten to one! Try to take some soup now, and let Sue go and buy pork chops（排骨）for her sick child.”64. What do you know about Sue and Johnsy from the first paragraph?A. They had a lot in common with each other.B. They are from the same state in the United States.C. They set up their studio on the third floor in order to see the ivy vine outside.D. They both began wearing clothes with bishop sleeves only after they set up their studio.65. Which of the following statements best describes the underlined word “p neumonia”?A. It was a stranger with magic power and was invisible to others.B. It was a disease which resulted in many symptoms, or even death.C. It was a person who was moving around the district touching people with icy fingers.D.It was someone carrying deadly bacteria and passed them to people without beingnoticed.66. What can we learn from the passage?A. Johnsy had a bad temper and couldn’t control her emotions very well.B. Johnsy made up her mind to die because she had no confidence in science.C. Johnsy counted the ivy vine leaves because she admired them and got inspiredby them.D. The doctor believed that medicine would lose half of its power on the patientwho did not want to survive.67. What may Sue do for her friend next?A. To go and buy pork chops for Johnsy.B. To prepare the funeral quickly.C. To ask Johnsy to paint the Bay of Naples.D. To find Johnsy a boyfriend immediately.CAsk someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need.However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.68. What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?A. Using too much packagingB. Recycling too many wastes.D. Having more material than is needed.C. Making more products thannecessary.69. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______.A. the tendency of cutting householdB. the increase of packaging recycling wasteC. the rapid growth of supermarketsD. the fact of packaging overuse70. What can be inferred from Paragraph 5?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D. Other products are better packaged than food.第二卷：文字题(共70分，做在答题纸上)五．任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）注意：每空格只填一个单词。
