Although these educators may have good ___41___, their advice to families is misguided, and it arises from misunderstandings about the process of language ___42___. Educators may fear that children hearing two languages will become ___43___ confused and thus their language development will be ___44___. Children are capable of learning more than one language, whether simultaneously (同时地) or sequentially (依次地).

Reading ComprehensionSection A （15分）Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In the increasingly busier world where productivity is on the minds of many, instead of downloading the latest time management app, or forcing yourself to stay at work for hours on end, is there a(n) ___51___ to being productiveThe first thing we should know is that willpower is a(n) ___52___ source that can be entirely used up. So instead of ___53___ yourself to simply try harder, a more methodical approach is suggested.The first step: Get started! It may seem ___54___ but studies have shown starting a project to be the biggest barrier to productivity. Before starting, our brain visualizes the hardest parts to come, and instead tries to simulate real work by focusing on small mindless tasks.___55___, there’s construct of the mind known as the Zeigernik Effect (蔡格尼克效应), which helps humans to finish a task that they’ve already started. The Zeigerni k Effect shows that when we don’t finish a task, we experience ___56___ and intrusive thoughts about it. So get started.Now what about time management Shockingly, when we look at most of the elite musicians in the world, we find that they aren’t ___57___ practicing more. Instead, they focus their energy on the hardest task. Those musicians have periods of intense work followed by breaks. Not relying on willpower, they rely on their ___58___ and disciplined scheduling. Studies have found that most elite violinists generally follow a 90 minute work rule with a 15 to 20 minute break afterwards every day. But how can you develop the discipline to follow this ___59___ One key point is giving yourself a deadline; write it down; ma rk it in your calendar. And you’ll be much more likely to complete your task. On top of this, create something called an accountability (问责制) chart to ___60___ your progress. In one column write the time span, and in the other the activities you accomplished during this time, ___61___ those on a diet who record their food intake.Writing down your progress allows you to ___62___ evaluate your work. As opposed to inaccurately assuming what you’ve done, further ___63___ your progress to the end helps to avoid small mindless work.And finally, stop multitasking. Well it may feel like you’re accomplishing more. But actually, studies show that multi-taskers are much less ___64___. Instead, try and make a list at night of what you want to accomplish tomorrow. With your action plan, you ___65___ the idea of trying to complete multiple activities at once.Your brain will find these less challenging. And it will make the starting process easier. With a clear goal and action plan in mind, your productivity levels can soar to new heights.51. A. room B. secret C. attitude D. origin52. A. outstanding B. inevitable C. exhaustible D. essential53.

A. stick to B. face up to C. decide on D. get rid ofSection B （24分）Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is Followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys on this topic suggest that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that T oday’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their g rown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the impulse to do so wasn’t present a generation ago Many s tudies show that older parents -- today’s grandparents - would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their childrenwho have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.66. The surveys inform us of ____________.A. the conditions of college dormitoriesB. the sign of parent’s management in their own behaviorsC. the development of communication technologyD. the parents’ over-protection of their college children67. Which of the following statement does the author most probably agree withA. Technology explains greater parental involvement with their children.B. Parents’ changed attitudes lead to college children’s delayed independence.C. Parents today are less protective than those in the past.D. The disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages.68. What is the meaning of the word “impulse” in this passageA. Desperation.B. Admiration.C. Urge.D. Depression.69. Which of the following would be the best title for the passageA. Dependence or Independence.B. Technology or Attitude.C. Family Influence or Social Changes.D. College Management or Communication Advancement.(B)Spanish-American InstituteStudent Cub NotesFree and Low Cost Gyms, Health Clubs and PoolsNYC Department of Parks Recreation Centers Recreation Centers: The?NYC Department of Parks has many Recreation Centers throughout?New York City.

You will probably fail to find ____________ on?the??home page.A. the cost for various membershipsB. the locations of recreations centersC. the staff and provided servicesD. the facilities, phones and web links(C)Just how much does the Constitution（宪法）protect your digital The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant（授权令）if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.California has asked the justices to restore the practice that the police search through the contents of suspects’ smartphones at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state says, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies.The justices would be careless if they followed California’s advice. They should start by rejecting California’s weak argument that exploring the contents of a smart phone is similar to say, going through a suspect’s wallet. The court has ruled that police don’t offend against the Fourth Amendment（修正案）when they go through the wallet, of an arrestee without a warrant. In fact, exploring one’s smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone contain an arrestee’s reading history, financial history, medical history and comprehe nsive records of recent correspondence.Americans should take steps to protect their own digital privacy and should avoid putting important information in smartphones. But keeping sensitive information on these devices is increasingly a requirement of normal life. Citizens still have a right to expect private documents to remain private and protected by the Constitution’s prohibition on unreasonable searches.In many cases, it would not be very difficult for authorities to obtain a warrant to search through phone contents. They could still trump（打出王牌）the Fourth Amendment protections when facing severe and dangerous circumstances, such as the threat of immediate harm, and they could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not deleted or altered while a warrant is on the way. The justices, though, may want to allow room for police to cite situations where they are entitled to more flexibility.But the justices should not swallow California’s argument whole. New technology sometimes demands fre sh applications of the Constitution’s protections. Orin Kerr, a professor,compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a digital necessity of life in the 20th. At that time, the justices had to explain new rules for the new personal domain（领域）of cars. Similarly, the justices must sort out how the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution applies to digital information now.73. The Supreme Court will work out whether, during an arrest, it is legal to ____________.A. search for suspects’ mobile phones without a warrantB. check suspects’ phone co ntents without being authorizedC. prevent suspects from deleting their phone contentsD. prohibit suspects using their mobile phones74. The author’s attitude toward California’s argument is one of ____________.A. toleranceB. indifferenceC. disapprovalD. carefulness75. The author believes that exploring one’s phone content is comparable to ____________.A. getting into one’s residenceB. ha nding one’s historical recordsC. scanning one’s correspondencesD. going through one’s wallet76. In Paragraph 4 and 5, the author shows his concern that ____________.A. principles are hard to be clearly expressedB. the court is giving police less room for actionC. phones are used to sensitive informationD. citizens’ priva cy is not effectively protected77. Orin Kerr’s comparison is quoted to indicate that ____________.A. the Constitution should be carried out flexiblyB. New technology also requires reinterpretation of the ConstitutionC. California’s argument goes against principles of the ConstitutionD. Principles of the Constitution should never be alteredSection C （8分）Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth.There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual himself If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence. Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing is not to be belittled by a wealthy person who wears expensive quality clothing. Those persons conveniently ignore such concepts as freedom of choice and individuality. It is only a short step from forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of foods. When this happens, all motivation to improve one’s life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the samelife that they hadUniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous as well; why bother to sell the only items that are available The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information and entertainment industry would collapse.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78.

2020届江苏省扬州中学高三英语月考试题及答案
2020届江苏省扬州中学高三英语月考试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AWhen it comes to the greatest inventions of the world, China’s name is sure to be mentioned several times. There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese.AlcoholShocked? I was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China had never crossed my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty. This period was about 2000 BC - 1600 BC. Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.TeaChina is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC. Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.The Mechanical ClockHave you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.Silk FabricSilk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.A.people in the US like alcoholB.beer was popular in the Xia DynastyC.Yi Di and Du Kang invented alcohol by accidentD.the author didn’t know alcohol is a Chinese invention2.The author asks the question in Paragraph 4 to show ________.A.ancient Chinese inventors were wiserB.many things in our lives are incompleteC.ancient Chinese people never wasted timeD.the invention of the mechanical clock is important3.Which of the following invention has a longer history?A.Tea.B.Alcohol.C.Silk fabric.D.The mechanical clock.BThink ofJapanin the spring and the image that comes to mind is likely the country’s famous cherry blossoms, also known as “Sakura” — white and pink flowers, blooming across cities and mountains.The flowers, which experience a “peak bloom” that only lasts a few days, have been loved inJapanfor more than a thousand years. Crowds celebrate with viewing parties,flockingto the most popular locations to take photos and have picnics underneath the branches.But this year, cherry blossom season has come and gone in the blink of an eye, in one of the earliest blooms on record. Scientists warn it’s a symptom of the larger climate crisis threatening ecosystems everywhere.Yasuyuki Aono, a researcher atOsakaPrefectureUniversity, has gathered records fromKyotoback to 812 AD from historical documents and diaries. In the central city ofKyoto, cherry blossoms peaked on March 26, the earliest in more than 1,200 years, Aono said. And in the capitalTokyo, cherry blossoms reached full bloom on March 22, the second-earliest date on record.The peak bloom dates shift every year, depending on numerous factors including weather and rainfall, but have shown a general trend of moving earlier and earlier. InKyoto, the peak date stayed around mid-April for centuries, but began moving into early April during the 1800s. The date has only dipped into late March a handful of times in recorded history.“Sakura blooms are very temperature sensitive,” said Aono. “Flowering and full bloom could be earlier or later depending on the temperature alone,” he said. “The temperature was low in the 1820s, but it has risen by about 3.5 degrees Celsius to this day.”This year’s seasons in particular influenced the blossom dates, he added. The winter was very cold, but the spring came fast and unusually warm.4. What is the best title of the passage?A. Cherry blossom celebrations.B. Warning of a climate crisis.C. A strong love for cherry blossom.D. Cherry blossom season coming earlier.5. What does the underlined word “flocking” mean?A. Blocking.B. Flooding.C. Running.D. Following.6. What can we infer from paragraph 5?A. The peak blossom dates fall on a fixed date.B. The cherry blossom rarely peaks in March.C. The peak bloom dates mainly depend on weather and rainfall.D. Cherry blossom peaks around mid-April inTokyo.7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To inform people the date of cherry blossom.B. To show a study on cherry blossom dates.C. To present a Japanese tradition of cherry blossom celebration.D. To make people aware of the influence of climate change on cherry blossom.CLearning to say “yes, and”When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴交流) class, I was hesitating. As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. However,I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D., so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help.During our first class, we learned an important concept of improvisation: “yes, and.” It means that, as improvisers, we’d better accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos (犀牛) are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say “yes” and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable andeven started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. Once when I was giving a presentation about my science, an audience member surprised me with a question that didn’t grow out of the information I’d presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the “yes, and” approach—accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me find an appropriate answer. I got pretty excited about it.The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell—one that isn’t behaving as expected.I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth findingout whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support a preconceived (先入为主的) story, but to say “yes, and.”8. Why did the author attend the improvisation class?A. To get a different experience.B. To finish her Ph.D. at university.C. To give up her job as a science communicator.D. To improve her speaking and communicating ability.9. What was the author’s change after attending the improvisation class?A. She formed her own idea quickly.B. She came up with lots of creative responses.C. She paid more attention to the logic of answers.D. She became a good listener before giving an opinion.10. The author mentions applying the “yes, and” approach to her scientific experiments to ______.A. explain the process of using the methodB. prove the benefits of the improvisation classC. share her own research experiences with readersD. attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class11. What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph?A. They should attend the improvisation class.B. They should question all preconceived ideas.C. They should carry on research by admitting earlier data.D. They should try to improve their professional knowledge.DIt’s become an accepted part of keeping up to date with extended family and friends, but if schoolchildren were in their parents’ shoes, the majority wouldn’t share posts of their sons and daughters online. Over 55% saidthey would not upload news about, or images of, their children to their social media feeds, according to survey of over 16,000 pupils by Votes for Schools.While some were concerned about being embarrassed or the longevity of content which could remain online indefinitely, others expressed concern about their personal data beingcompromised. One of the pupils surveyed said, “Although our parents mean well, sometimes theconsequenceof a post can be disastrous.”In response to thesurvey, children’s mental health charity Place2Be and law firm Mishcon de Reya have produced three films ahead of the Christmas holidays – the best period for parental oversharing.In one video, about safety online, 10-year-old Adavan said, “If you share anything with your family, you know who’s going to see it. But if you share it publicly, there are millions of people who can see your picture.”Joe Hancock, a security lead at Mishcon de Reya, encouraged parents to share wisely. “Simple steps, such as checking your privacy settings and asking others not to share content of your children on their accounts if they have not updated their privacy settings, are a good start. And, as we found out from the children during filming, having their permission is key,” he said.The study marks a shift away from the usual debate about teaching children to use the Internet safely. Sandra Davis, head of the law firm’s family department, said, “Children are the experts on the real and immediate impact of sharenting（晒娃）– the full extent of which we cannot know yet. We must ensure we listen to children and take their views into consideration now in order to avoid any unintendedconsequences further down the line.”12.What’s most pupils’ attitude towards sharing posts about children?A. Skeptical.B. Unconcerned.C. Tolerant.D. Unwilling.13.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Summarize the previous paragraph.B. Provide some advice for parents.C.

ACheck out what’s coming soon，and what’s in development.Playbill will update these listings when new information is made available.THE COLLABORATION at Samuel J.Friedman TheatreThe play tells a true story in New York.Fifty-six-year-old Warhol’s star is falling. Jean is the new wonder-kid taking the art world by storm.When Jean agrees to work together with Warhol on a new exhibition,it soon becomes the talk of the city.The two artists set foot on a shared journey,both artistic and deeply personal,which redraws both their worlds.ALMOST FAMOUS at Bernard B.Jacobs TheatreBased on the2,000film of the same name,the musical features Pulitzer winner Kitt and a book by Crowe,who earned an Oscar award for penning the original film based on his own teenage experience.The coming-of-age story tracks a15-year-old music fan named William who follows the emerging band Stillwater on tour.THE PIANO LESSON at Ethel Barrymnore TheatreThe play is the fourth in Wilson’s Century Cycle,which digs into the Black experience in every decade of the20th century.Set in Pittsburgh’s Hill District in1936, it centers around a brother and a sister involved in a battle over a piano carved with the faces of their ancestors.KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Booth TheatreKim is a bright and funny high school girl,who happens to look like a72-year-old lady.And yet her aging disease may be the least of her problems.Forced to deal with family secrets,and possible crime charges,Kim is determined to explore happiness ina world where not even time is on her side.21.What kind of play is THE COLLABORATION?A.A romance.B.A sci-fi story.C.A fairy tale.D.A life story.22.Which theatre should you visit if you want to learn about racial issues?A.Samuel J.Friedman Theatre.B.Bernard B.Jacobs Theatre.C.Ethel Barrymore Theatre.D.Booth Theatre.23.What can you see in both ALMOST FAMOUS and KIMBERLY AKIMBO?A.Struggles against crime charges.B.Cutting-edge film technology.C.Award-winning performances.D.Teenagers’growth experiences.BFor some people,October is October.On October5,Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week,when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter.Bear747,also known as“Bear Force One”,took the first-place spot with68,105votes.It weighed around1,400pounds.Fat Bear Week started in2014.At first,it was just Fat Bear Tuesday.Mike Fitz,a former park keeper at Katmai,noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments,so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet. The one-day event attracted1,700votes.In2015,it was extended to a st year, nearly800,000people got involved,turning it into a global campaign.The contest serves two main purposes.First,some of America’s national parks are in remote and undeveloped areas,which are difficult or costly to reach.Fat Bear Week brings Alaska’s wilderness to fans’computer screens.“It’s not limited to the fortunate few who can go to the river anymore.”Fitz said.Second,Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live in.The2,200bears of Katmai are strong for feeding on some of the healthiest salmon （三文鱼）in the world，said Sara Wolman,a former park keeper.Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing,dam construction and warming rivers due to climate change.Luckily,Brooks River,which Katmai’s bears like to fish in,has been free from these threats so far.Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses.Fans and creators say it’s because it shows a conservation success story.For one week,people don’t have to focus on climate change or habitat loss.“Maybe things aren’t super great all the time in the world,”said Felicia Jimenez,who is a current Katmai keeper.“But there are some really fat bears in Alaska.”24.Why was Bear747the winner?A.It was the heaviest.B.It was the most famous.C.It gained the most pounds.D.It presented the best photos.25.What is the purpose of paragraph2?A.To praise Mike Fitz for his work.B.To review the history of the event.C.To show the popularity of fat bears.D.To explain the role of live webcams.26.What can we learn about Katmai’s bears?A.They bring tourists to the park.B.They have a stable food source.C.They remain difficult to be seen.D.They face a population decline.27.Which can be the best title for the text?A.Fat Bear Week:Conservation Is JoyfulB.Brown Bears:Winter Survival Is CrucialC.Bear747:A Fat Yet Healthy ChampionD.Katmai’s Bears:A Special Beauty ContestCA new study has found that a child's reading speed can be improved by simply increasing the space between letters within a piece of text.The research,led by Dr Steven Stagg of Anglia Ruskin University（ARU）,examined the benefits of letter spacing and coloured overlays（颜色标注）among children.Two groups of children,dyslexic（有阅读障碍的）and non-dyslexic children, were asked to read four texts with either standard or extra-large letter spacing,both with and without a coloured overlay.They were instructed to read the text out loud while being recorded.The recording was used to measure the number of errors they made—specifically missed words,added words,wrong words,and pronunciation—as well as the participants’reading time.The study discovered that text with increased space between letters provided a benefit for both groups.On average,the dyslexia group showed a13%increase in reading speed,while the group of non-dyslexic children showed a5%increase.In addition to improving reading speed,it also resulted in a significant decline in the number of words missed by the children with dyslexia. However,the study found that coloured overlays had no significant impact on reading speed or the reduction of errors for either group.Dr Stagg,Senior Lecturer in Psychology at ARU,said:“We believe extra-large letter spacing works by reducing what is known as the‘crowding effect’,which can hamper the recognition of letters and reduce reading speed.”“Our findings strongly suggest that teachers can be confident that all children would be helped by increased letter spacing in reading materials.”Dr Stagg added.“While we found that coloured overlays provided little benefit,we suggest children should be encouraged to use overlays if they find these help their reading.Coloured overlays may not increase reading speeds，but they may extend reading stamina(持久力).Previous research suggests their benefits may not become apparent if reading time is less than10minutes and the short reading duration of the tests in our study may have put coloured overlays at a disadvantage.28.Which of the following best describes the research process in Paragraph2?A.Illustrate,group and report.B.Read,instruct and measure.C.Question,assume and prove.D.Categorize,record and count.29.What can we learn about increased letter spacing from Paragraph3?A.It reduces reading errors.B.It sharpens reading skills.C.It arouses reading interest.D.It enhances reading comprehension.30.What does the underlined word“hamper”in Paragraph4probably mean?A.Obtain.B.Prevent.C.Change.D.Involve.31.What can be inferred about coloured overlays from Paragraph5?A.They might not have been evaluated fairly.B.They might not be recommended by experts.C.They might work better in short reading.D.They might have some disadvantages.DLike any doctor,Jacques Fellay wants to give his patients the best care.Hidden inside our bodies are genetic(基因的)markers that can tell him which patients could probably have diseases such as AIDS and provide early treatments.However,there are worries for Fellay:they contain sensitive details that could lead to embarrassment, discrimination or even worse.A new kind of encryption,fully homomorphic encryption（FHE）(全同态加密), is making it possible for data users to run multiple operations on genetic data without seeing the contents.This can help end big data’s privacy problem,and Fellay's patients can be some of the first to benefit.In1978,the concept of homomorphic encryption（HE）was firstly proposed. According to it,one could encrypt and share data with others,who could analyze and perform calculations on the data with no idea what it means.After getting the data back,the data user could simply arrive at the result using the secret key and it will make total sense.In2009,Craig Gentry firstly provided a workable FHE program.Like HE,it rests on a mathematical idea called a homomorphism，which mostly relies on using algebra(代数)to map data from one form to another without changing its underlying structure.However,it supports multiple operations on encrypted data,rather than only one calculation in HE.Later,Gentry went on to work at IBM,which now has complicated FHE tools to run encrypted data.In the medical field,for example,it detected signs of COVID-19 infection by applying FHE to analyze the encrypted CT scans of more than1,500 people’s lungs.In a paper published in October2021,the team used FHE to collect data from multiple sources and predicted the effect of cancer treatments or the process of HIV infection,as in Fellay’s case.Workable,but still slow:calculations on the FHE-encrypted data could take millions of times longer than those on raw data.But,as Goldwasser says,“If you believe that security is not a plus,but it’s a must,”she says,“then in some sense there is no overhead.”32.What is Fellay concerned about?A.Serious diseases.B.Sensitive patients.C.The safety of personal data.D.The lack of genetic information.33.In what way is FHE different from HE?A.It speeds up the analyses.B.It allows more calculations.C.It prevents direct access to data.D.It depends on the use of algebra.34.What is Goldwasser’s attitude towards FHE?A.Contradictory.B.Unclear.C.Favorable.D.Intolerant.35.What is the main idea of the text?A.FHE protects privacy in the big data era.B.FHE opens a new world for medical workers.C.Gentry proposed a new encryption technology.D.Homomorphic encryption developed over time.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。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia（痴呆） or Alzheimer's．Alzheimer's can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water．The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers（触发器） in the home that cause them to perform tasks．The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep regularly．The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled．The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples, where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia．Some 670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65s will develop the condition．By 2021 this is expected to rise to one million．Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine．" Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship．Ms Gray said, "The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets．It's such a strong bond that people often remember them longest．People don't need to communicate verbally （言语地） but they can still interact．You can have a speechless bond．"Helen McCain, director of Dogs for the Disabled, said, "People with dementia often forget to take the medicine．If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it there's a greater chance of them taking it．The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people．"1．In Britain people with dementia _ _．A．are likely to increase in number B．are mostly over 65 years oldC．will be trained to respond to sound triggers D．will be able to live a relatively normal life2．The dogs are taught to perform tasks by -．A．making some sound signals B．communicating with the patientsC．reminding the patients by barking D．reacting to some sound triggers3．What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Faces．B．Triggers．C．Pets．D．Companions．4．What is mainly talked about in the passage?A．The idea of dementia dogs was developed by students．B．Dogs are trained to assist Alzheimer's patients．C．British people with Alzheimer's are in poor condition．D．The dementia dogs perform most duties of a doctor．参考答案1—4、BCBD说理议论（阅读理解）由 (2013福建,D)改编Pride and Prejudice for the Modern WomanLet us imagine how Pride and Prejudice,Jane Austen’s most famous work,might be updated,200 years on.Austen’s popularity is rooted in her intelligence.But today she would certainly have had a very different life,as would her characters.Here’s my own suggestion...It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men,however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.“ My dear husband,” said his hopeful wife one day,“ have you heard that the local store,standing empty for so long,is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?”Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not.“But it is,it is,” she replied excitedly.Mr Dull-Husband made no reply.“Don’t you want to know her plans?” she cried with some impatience.“Well,clearly you think it matters to your silly little head...so I’d better listen.”“Well,my dear,the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England,though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me.She will move in herself next month.”“What is her name?”“Bingley.”“Is she married or single?”“What a question! And none of your business.But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.”“How so? How can it possibly affect them? ”“My dear love: those lazy boys need something to wake them up.There are bound to be jobs going.”“ Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.”“ Nonsense,my love,how little you’ve noticed the world has changed.She’s got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification,I’m told.She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call.”“ Me? No.Perhaps you can take an interest.You still have your looks,after all.She may even offer you a job.”“Oh,that’s not like ly.These new chances belong to the younger generation.But now you mention it,I think I’ll go along all the same.”And Mrs Bennet went along.That was 10 years ago.She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company....It would remain the case,of course,that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board,that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues,her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city’s business leaders shorter than theirs.Still,she’d no dou bt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?( )A.Austen was born 200 years ago.B.Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.C.Austen’s success lies in her wisdom.D.Austen’s updated work gains popularity.2.The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet .

Each of the seven children in our family worked in our father’s store. 21 we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than 22 and making a sale.One lesson stands out in my 23 . It was shortly before Christmas. I was in eighth grade and was working evenings, straightening the toy section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was 24 a brown torn coat with dirty sleeves. His shoes were scuffed and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy looked poor to me ---too poor to 25 to buy anything.

I was impressedthat Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his 31 and look around. He did.After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy 32 , walked up to my dad and said, “How much for this, Mister?”“How much you got?” Dad asked.The little boy held out his hand and 33 it.

AFor the students, researchers or simple lovers of knowledge and art, it is a privilege to have a free virtual library at hand, being able to download important texts without spending a single dollar.◆Internet ArchiveIt is a non-profit digital library created in 1996 by Brewster Kahle. In addition to millions of books available to the general public, it also hosts a large number of video (movies), audio (music) and softwarefiles, etc. It is not necessary to register to access the information, so any user can easily view and download it, although those who decide to register obtain other benefits such as access to more than 1.3 million copyrighted e-books.◆InfoBooksRead, Learn, Grow… is the slogan of the d igital library. It is divided into three sections to facilitate the search for content, and the first called “Best books to read” focuses on a special collection of various topics classified by famous authors. The second is “Free books and texts”, where yo u will find public domain literature that you can download, and the third section contains resources to improve your reading.◆Project GutenbergProject Gutenberg is a site that has available sixty thousand “free” books that are free of copyright so to speak, since the rights according to certain laws have expired in this case. That is why they can be downloaded with total peace of mind. The Project Gutenberg also has an Open Audio book Collection, almost 5,000 titles from 2023, via a Project Gutenberg collaboration with Microsoft and MIT. These use neural text-to-speech technology for more natural-sounding computer-generated audio books. These audio books are also available on major music/podcast platforms.1. What most attracts users to Internet AchiveA. Private software files.B. Easy access to plenty of e-books.C. Classic music of limited edition.D. Various movies of authorized edition.2. How can we find the works of Mark Twain most preciselyA. Search InfoBooks, Section 1 online.B. E-mail Brewster Kahle to obtain directly.C. Download Software files from Internet Achive.D. Wait for distributions from Project Gutenberg.3. What does Project Gutenberg have in common with Internet ArchiveA. Audio resources are provided online.B. Materials can be adjusted to different users.C. Copyrights of some books are out of date.D. They provide reading strategies training.BGrowing up on the shores of Lake Huron in the Canadian province of Ontario, Robert Berdan was never far from water. When he was in sixth grade, he received a toy microscope for Christmas. Some of the first things he saw through its lens were tiny creatures inside droplets he’d gathered from a local pond. He was fascinated withthe microorganisms.After eighth grade, Berdan upgraded to a more advanced model and realized it was a gateway to another world. “The new microscope changed my life,” he says. “I could see so much more.” He began studying photography and buying cameras to fit on his microscope. He captured images of mushrooms, and trees, and learned how to develop films. He also developed his microscopy skills, so much so that he earned a doctoral degree in cellular biology and spent five years running a lab at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.But Berdan never forgot his two early passions—being involved in nature and photographing its tiny details—and he decided to return to them. His subjects range from snowflakes to spruce trees. To see the latter under a microscope, Berdan collects a small branch and uses specialized tools to shave off paper-thin slices, which he dyes red or blue. For the final images, he often uses a process called focus stacking, in which similar photos with different focal planes are combined to achieve a more profound depth of field, and he sometimes stitches photos together to create panoramas, an impressive view of a wide area.“I investigate anything that might have possibilities,” he says. And he encourages others to do the same with a microscope. “Any toolthat amplifies (放大) our ability to see will enhanc e our creativity,” he notes. “Our observations can potentially lead to new discoveries and solutions.”4. How did Berdan find his first experience of using microscopeA. Upsetting.B. Amusing.C. Engaging.D. Shocking.5. What can we learn about Berdan from paragraph 3A. Berdan creates special images without any effort.B. Berdan achieves great success in biology.C. Berdan has his unique way to use microscope.D. Berden has always been keen on his childhood interests.6 What does Berdan want to highlight in the last paragraphA. The strong power of creativity in our daily life.B. Our creativity to be enhanced by large tools.C. The important role that observations play in our life.D. Everything is possible through careful investigations.7. Which of the following best describes Robert BerdanA. Creative but stubborn.B. Ambitious but careless.C. Skillful and considerate.D. Persistent and encouraging.CThe rainforests are alive with the sound of animals. Besides the pleasure of the noise, it is also useful to ecologists. If you want to measure the biodiversity of a piece of land, listening out for animalcalls is much easier than searching in the undergrowth for tracks. But such “bioacoustics (生物声音的) analysis” is stilltime-consuming, and it requires an expert pair of ears.In a paper published on October 17th, a group of researchers led by Jorg Müller, an ecologist at the University of Würzburg, describe a better way: have a computer do the job. Smartphone apps already exist that will identify birds, bats or mammals simply by listening to the sounds they make. Their idea was to apply the principle to conservation work.The researchers took recordings from across 43 sites in the Ecuadorean rainforest. Some sites were relatively clean, old-growth forest. Others were areas that had recently been cleared for pasture or cacao planting. And some had been cleared but then abandoned, allowing the forest to regrow.Sound recordings were taken four times every hour, over two weeks. The various calls were identified manually by an expert, and then used to construct a list of the species present. As expected, the longer the land had been free from agricultural activity, the greater the bio-diversity it hosted. Then it was the computer’s turn. The researchers fed their recordings to artificial intelligence models that had been trained, using sound samples from elsewhere in Ecuador, to identify 75 bird species from their calls. “We found thatthe AI tools could identify the sounds as well as the experts,” says Dr Müller.Of course, not everything in a rain-forest makes a noise. Dr Müller and his colleagues used light-traps to capture night-flying insects, and DNA analysis to identify them. Reassuringly, they found that the diversity of noisy animals was a reliable indicator of the diversity of quieter ones, suggesting that this method could be used to monitor the effectiveness of reforestation projects.The study, published in Nature Communications, could have implications beyond ecology. Companies such as L’Oreal and Shell have been investing in forest restoration projects worldwide. Dr Müller suggests that this automated approach could provide a standardized way to monitor these efforts and verify whether they are as successful as claimed.8. What information does paragrap h 1 provide about “bioacoustic analysis”A. It requires special skill and time.B. It can only be performed on land.C. It assesses biodiversity easily.D. It makes animal calls attractive.9. What does “the job” underlined in paragraph 2 refer toA. Describing how the research was conducted.B. Protecting the birds and mammals from danger.C. Measuring the biodiversity of a piece of land.D. Monitoring how the smartphone works.10. What can be inferred from paragraphs 4A. Biodiversity can be enhanced by minimizing agricultural activities.B Both light-traps and sound recordings can be used to identify noisy animals.C. The larger number of noisy animals, the smaller number of quieter ones.D. Al tools could potentially be used to monitor agriculture development.11. What can be a suitable title for the textA. Protect a Forest’s Inhabitants by ListeningB. Identify the Calls of the Wild with AI AidC. Promote Rainforest Biodiversity Through AID. Find a Way to Monitor Deforestation SituationD“Tooth loss a nd gum disease, which is inflammation (发炎) of the tissue around the teeth that can cause shrinkage (萎缩) of the gums and loosening of the teeth, are very common, so evaluating a potential link with brain diseases is incredibly important. Our study found that these conditions may play a role in the health of thebrain area that controls thinking and memory, giving people another reason to take better care of their teeth,” said study author Satoshi Yamaguchi, Ph.D. of Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan. The study involved 172 people with an average age of 67 who did not have memory problems at the beginning of the study. Researchers found that the number of teeth and amount of gum disease was linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain. For people with mild gum disease, having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage, which was the same for people with severe gum disease having more teeth. After adjusting for age, researchers found that for people with mild gum disease, the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equal to nearly one year of brain aging. By contrast, for people with severe gum disease, the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equal to 1.3 years of brain aging. “These res ults highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth,” Yamaguchi said. Though the study does not prove that gum disease or tooth loss causes diseases like Alzheimer’s, it only shows an association. Yamaguch i added, “Future studies are needed with larger groups of people.” The current experiment involved only a small group of people in one region of Japan, and that too from one particularregion of the world.12. What does Satoshi Yamaguchi’s research focus o nA. The reason for gum disease.B. The influence of brain shrinkage.C. The advances in memory improvement.D. The link between dental health and brain.13. What is paragraph 2 mainly aboutA. Supporting evidence for the research results.B. Basic theories and results of a previous research.C. A further explanation of the research methods.D. The detailed procedures of the scientific research.14. What does Yamaguchi suggest people doA. Treat a brain problem with replacing teeth.B. Frequently visit the dentists to maintain teeth.C. Protect gums and teeth in their original good state.D. Pull out one of their unique teeth as a study object.15. What probably can be involved in the follow-up studyA. The application in related fields.B. The further research in wider range.C. The difficulties of making the previous studies.D. The suggestions for preventing teeth disease.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

高三英语Book7 Module 4检测试题及答案(2)三、阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)AThe Eubie Blake National Jazz Institute and Cultural Center is in Baltimore, Maryland. It is named after one of the most important African-American jazz and ragtime (拉格泰姆音乐) musicians of the 20th century. Before his death in 1983, Eubie Blake was believed to be the only musician still living who had played ragtime music.Eubie Blake was born in Baltimore in 1887. He began playing the piano when he was about five years old. He was playing professionally by the age of sixteen. In 1921, he and Noble Sissle wrote the musical play Shuffle Along. It was the first Broadway musical written, produced and performed by all African Americans. Shuffle Along ran for more than five hundred performances. The musical helped launch the careers of several African-American performers, including singers Josephine Baker and Paul Robeson.Eubie Blake wrote other Broadway musicals during his eighty-year career. He also wrote more than 350 songs. The original songs are still on display at the Eubie Blake National Jazz Institute and Cultural Center.The Center opened in 1978. It was part of an effort to bring cultural arts to young people in the inner city of Baltimore. At the same time, Eubie Blake and his wife Marian were negotiating an agreement with the Maryland Historical Society. They wanted to donate several historically important objects. These included original sheet music and audio recordings of several Eubie Blake songs. They also included personal letters written by Blake andold pictures of him and other famous musicians. And they included the original government document proclaiming February fourteenth, 1973 as Eubie Blake Day in Baltimore. Thousands of people visit the center every year, especially young people.36. What is the passage mainly about?A. The Eubie Blake National Jazz Institute and Cultural Center.B. The great achievements of a famous African-American musician.C. The ragtime music in American history.D. An effort to bring cultural arts to young people in Baltimore.37. Shuffle Along is mentioned in Paragraph 2 because _______.A. it is the first musical play written by Eubie BlakeB. it is the most famous musical play in BroadwayC. it is the first Broadway musical ever to be madeD. it is a milestone for many African Americans38. The Eubie Blake National Jazz Institute and Cultural Center was built to _______.A. honor all African-American musiciansB. preserve the original works of Eubie BlakeC. make cultural arts known by young peopleD. train young African-American musicians39. We can infer from the second paragraph that _______.A. Eubie Blake was born into a musician’s familyB. Eubie Blake began his career at the age of 21C. several African-American people got their success from Shuffle AlongD. Josephine Baker and Paul Robeson contributed the mostto Shuffle Along40. The last paragraph implies that _______.A. Eubie Blake’s original works were not valued at firstB. the Center is not popular with young peopleC. Eubie Blake kept the most historically important objects himselfD. Eubie Blake’s achievements were admitted by the governmentBThere is no doubt that teens today are extremely busy. Homework piles up and extra-curricular (课外的) activities are time-consuming. Teens have to take part in a sport or activity after school, and they are up until 10:00 or later doing homework. Getting teenagers involved in voluntary opportunities can give them a sense of accomplishment that is not connected with sports or school.Teenagers are often in their own little world. Helping them get involved in voluntary opportunities is the perfect way for them to open up a new world and give their time to a good cause.The key to getting teens involved in voluntary work is to find an opportunity that will fit into their schedule and to find something that interests them. Also, keep it close to home. If you have to drive a long distance to volunteer, it’s less likely to be accomplished.My son has helped out with the local library’s reading program now for two summers. It is close to home and the schedule is very elastic. We go in and choose days that work with his schedule and he volunteers for about 2 hours at a time. He is responsible for helping kids get signed up for the summer reading program and helping them record the hours they read.It is only a one-week time commitment, but it is very rewarding.When teens volunteer, they often see that there are others more needy than themselves. They also learn time management. Your teen will become a more rounded, less self-centred individual.Colleges see thousands of students applying for admission every year. If your teen has shown the dedication to volunteer in the community, it could give him the advantage for college admission or scholarship opportunities. So, volunteering is good for their present and their future!41. What is the text mainly about?A. The heavy loads teens facing toady.B. The benefits of volunteering for teens.C. The aut hor’s son’s volunteering experience.D. The requirements of volunteering.42. The author of the text probably _______.A. never thought his son would volunteerB. tries to limit his son’s volunteering timeC. supports his son in volunteeringD. is concerned about his son’s study43. We can infer from the last paragraph that _______.A. colleges are more likely to choose one with volunteering experiencesB. volunteering can help a teen stand out as an excellent studentC. scholarship opportunities are only offered to excellent studentsD. one can’t become an excellent student without volunteering experiences44. The underlined word “elastic” in the fourth paragraphcan be best replaced by _______.A. independentB. tightC. demandingD. flexible45. Which of the following will NOT be considered if you want to find a voluntary opportunity?A. Whether it can suit my interest.B. Whether it can improve my grades.C. Whether it is near or far from my home.D. Whether it can give me a sense of accomplishment.CIt seems lately that more and more of my friends are facing some seemingly insurmountable (难以对付的) challenges in their lives. A few have lost their jobs and some have failed marriages. Or too many have health issues.I don’t know if it is desperation t hat causes them to turn to me for advice. But it is difficult to offer words of hope when all they feel is hopeless. They expect answers, or a roadmap to get them back on their feet again.I have often struggled with what to say. Mostly because I have faced many of the same challenges in my own life, I remember how empty I felt after someone cheerfully offered words like, “Things will get better!” “It’s always darkest...” etc.Now, as an inspiration writer, being thought of as a resource of hope or a good (or bad) example of what to do in life, I have even more people contacting me.So, what do I say?“What can I do, Bob? I’ve lost my job. What do you suggest?”“Begin again.”“He walked out on me. My whole world just ended. Whatshould I do?”“Begin again.”It almost sounds too simple. I imagine in the darkest hours of one’s life those words would seem useless or uncaring. But it is indeed the answer.All life challenges bring about an ending—and the chance for a beginning. A failed marriage does not mean you are through with love or being loved. It means there are others just like you needing to be loved. Find them.A life-threatening disease does not mean giving up. It means starting a new path to recovery and discovering within yourself the ability to fight back and win.And if you are a person of faith, even death does not mean it’s over. It means “to begin again”.46. What is the best title for this passage?A. Begin again.B. A good piece of advice.C. A wise answer.D. A new path to recovery.47. Which of the following can be inferred from the text?A. One should never give up hope though life is hard.B. The author’s answer is very simple and useless.C. In fact, the author doesn’t know what to do with life challenges.D. All challenges will lead to an ending and desperation.48. The expression “walked out on” means _______.A. had pity onB. put up withC. went away fromD. got on with49. From the passage we can conclude that the suggestion on life challenges is _______.A. easyB. impossibleC. unrealisticD. effective50. Which of the following matches the writer’s suggestion on life challenges?A. A scientist did an experiment for many times and gave it up at last.B. A young man was refused by many companies and he started his own.C. A student failed the final examination and was lost in great despair.D. A man had a great loss in his business and jumped down from a building.DA new study says if a mom is apart from her children, talking on the phone will help as much as a hug.If you’re a parent wh o spends long hours on the job, you probably feel guilty for spending so much time away from your kids. But the results of a new study show that a mother’s voice alone can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact.In an experiment, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison asked a group of girls between the ages of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judges — a stressful situation for anyone. Before the girls were set to give their answers, the researchers measured their levels of two hormones (荷尔蒙): cortisol, which goes up during stressful situations, and oxytocin, the “love” hormone, goes down.After they were finished, some of the girls got to meet up with their mothers right away. The moms came in and hugged the girls. Another group of the girls didn’t see their mothers, but received phone calls from them, on which their mothers told them how well they’d done. The final group had no contact withtheir mothers, but instead watched a cartoon movie, March of the Penguins.Finally, the girls’ hormone levels were measured again. Although the movie was interesting, it did nothing to ease the children’s anxiety — but, surprisingly, both the physical contact and phone calls from their mothers had the same influence on easi ng the girls’ stress levels.So, no matter how old you are, if you’re feeling stressed about something in your life, a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.51. What’s the main idea of the text?A. A mother’s voice can comfort he r anxious kids.B. Mothers should often hug their kids.C. Mothers should spend enough time caring about their kids.D.
