AYellowstone Poster Exhibition to Be on View at UW’s Coe LibraryA first-of-its-kind exhibition that focuses on the history of Yellowstone National Park posters will be on display at the University of Wyoming’s Coe Library beginning Tuesday, February 1.“Wonderland Illustrated” will present posters and poster-style illustrations of the park nning from the 1870s through 2022. The exhibition will be located on Level 3 of Coe Library. It will be on view through Tuesday, May 31.The exhibition takes place at the same time as this year’s 150th anniversary of the creation of Yellowstone National Park. The posters in the exhibition serve the purpose of both advertising and art.“We’re thrilled to be working with Yellowstone collectors Jack and Susan Davís, and Larry and Thea Lancaster to bring this exhibition to the University of Wyoming as part of year-long celebrations recognizing Yellowstone’s 150th anniversary,” says Tamsen Hert, head of UW Libraries’ Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. “This exhibition involves the history of printing, art, photography and advertising over 16 decades. The images reproduced are found on travel brochures, postcards and maps—many of which are held in our collections.”One poster from the exhibition—Henry Wellge’s “Yellowstone National Park” from1904—was recently purchased with donated funds and is now part of UW Libraries’ Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. Wellge, a productive bird’s-eye-view artist, designed the piece for the Northern Pacific Railroad, which used it to advertise the park. This is a unique piece, as posters such as this one were printed on soft paper and very few have survived.1. How long will the exhibition “Wonderland Illustrated” last?A. Two weeks.B. Three months.C. Four months.D. One year.2. What is a purpose of the exhibition?A. To remember a famous artist.B. To raise fund for Coe Library.C. To mark the anniversary of a national park.D. To tell the history of the University of Wyoming.3. What do we know about the 1904 poster Henry Wellge designed?A. It is rare in the world.B. It is in black and white.C. It is printed on cloth.D. It is owned by a professor.BParrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves.Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.4. What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild?A. Living in a group.B. Growing beautiful feathers.C. Feeding on the ground.D. Avoiding coming out at night.5. What is parrots’ first response to an immediate risk?A. To attack back.B. To get away.C. To protect the young.D. To play dead.6. Why would a balloon frighten a parrot?A. It may explode suddenly.B. It may be in a strange shape.C. It may have a strong color.D. It may move around quickly.7. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A. To explain wild parrots’ behavior.B. To give advice on raising a parrot.C. To call for action to protect animals.D. To introduce a study on bird ecology.CIn his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument — and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate (阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections (异议) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.These tools can help you win every argument — not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.8. What is the author’s attitude toward Carnegie’s understanding of argument?A. Critical.B. Supportive.C. Tolerant.D. Uncertain.9. Why do many people try to avoid arguments?A. They lack debating skills.B. They may feel bad even if they win.C. They fear being ignored.D. They are not confident in themselves.10. What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Defend.B. Explain.C. Conclude.D. Repeat.11. What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author?A. Sense of logic.B. Solid supporting evidence.C. Proper manners.D. Understanding from both sides.Dtoddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the For lots of kids,earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament(性格). Some toddler s are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy(同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying!You made him feel better.”).Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words- not fists-to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed.12. What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior?A. They are interested in acting.B. They are shy with the strangers.C. They are fond of their playmates.D. They are tired of playing games.13. What does the author suggest parents do for their kids?A. Design games for them.B. Find them suitable playmates.C. Play together with them.D. Help them understand social rules.14. What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4?A. Giving examples.B. Explaining concepts.C. Providing evidence.D. Making comparisons.15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. How Children Adapt to ChangesB. How to Be a Role Model for ChildrenC. How Your Baby Learns to LoveD. How to Communicate with Your Kid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。

Until Wednesday, the title of China’s youngest Asian Games gold medalist be-longed to 15-year-old skateboarder Chen Ye. Nevertheless, the youngest participant at the Games is Mazel Paris Alegado, a 9-year-old Filipino skateboarder.Asked if she was nervous before the competition, Cui shook her head and said: “My dad told me to stay relaxed, enjoy the competition and showcase my skills. As long as I give it my all, I have no regrets.”Skateboarding, which is rooted in street culture, is a sport that emphasizes freedom and personal techniques. Cui only took up skateboarding in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic did not allow her to practice rollerblading (滚轴溜冰), which she began as a 3-year-old. Her father suggested that she try skateboarding at home instead. “I remember the day I stepped onto the board for the first time. It felt incredibly smooth. It was love at first sight,” Cui said.Two years later, she ranked third in the women’s street event at the Shandong provincial games. She soon joined the provincial skateboarding team and underwent a more comprehensive (全面的) and structured training program.In skateboarding, injuries are unavoidable, but when discussing the pain and the setbacks, Cui displayed a level of resilience beyond her age. “When I started skateboarding, I thought it was great fun. Later, I realized people suffer a lot of injuries while skateboarding. But that iswhere the spirit of skateboarding lies,” she said. Most of the time, getting injured is just part of the process, and she simply pushes through it and never gives up, she added.Cui is “the future of Team China”, according to Zeng Wenhui, the silver medalist. “I think she is quite excellent. We will stand together in moving forward in the future,” she said. 4．Who is the youngest athlete taking part in the Asian Games?A．Chen Ye.B．Cui Chenxi.C．Mazel Paris Alegado.D．Zeng Wenhui.5．What can we infer from the passage?A．Cui’s father has a positive effect on her.B．Cui’s fellow athletes don’t get along well with her.C．Cui spent a hard time from rollerblading to skateboarding.D．Cui received a comprehensive training program during the pandemic.6．What’s the spirit of skateboarding according to Cui?A．Life is movement.B．No cross, no crown.C．Never too old to learn.D．Freedom is a part of the essence of life. 7．What does the underlined word “resilience” refer to in paragraph 6?A．Calmness.B．Resistance.C．The ability to adapt.D．A state of feeling depressed.Ann has been severely paralysed (瘫痪)for more than 18 years. She cannot speak and normally communicates. But now, she has been able to speak through an image on the computer using technology that translated her brain signals into speech and facial expressions.The advance raises hopes that the technology could be on the edge of transforming the lives of people who have lost the ability to speak due to conditions like strokes (中风).The latest technology uses tiny electrodes (电极) put on the top layer of the brain to detect electrical activity in the part of the brain that controls speech and face movements. These signals are translated directly into a digital avatar’s (化身) speech and facial expressions including smiling, frowning or surprise.The team put 253 paper-thin electrodes on the top layer of Ann’s brain over an area important to speech. Afterwards Ann worked with the team to train the system to detect her unique brain signals for various speech sounds by repeating different phrases repeatedly. Thecomputer learned 39 distinctive sounds and a Chat GPT-style language system was used to translate the signals into understandable sentences. This was then used to control an avatar with a voice personalised to sound like Ann’s voice before the injury, based on a recording of her speaking at her wedding.The technology was not perfect, translating words incorrectly 28% of the time in a test run involving more than 500 phrases, and it generated brain-to-text at a rate of 78 words a minute, compared with the 110–150 words typically spoken in natural conversation. However, scientists said the latest advances in accuracy and speed suggest the technology is now at a point of being practically useful for patients. A crucial next step is to create a wireless form that could be put beneath the skull (颅骨).8．How can Ann speak?A．By tiny electrodes on her brain.B．Through an avatar using the latest technology.C．Through repeating different phrases repeatedly.D．By a technology that detects her brain signals.9．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．How the technology works.B．How the technology benefits the patients.C．How the technology translates the brain signal.D．How the technology is put into wide application.10．Which is unnecessary to make the avatar sound like Ann?A．Ann’s cooperation.B．Ann’s facial expressions.C．An AI language system.D．A recording of Ann’s speaking. 11．What do we know about the technology according to the last paragraph?A．It is a promising way to help patients.B．Its translating speed is too slow.C．It cannot be applied to patients.D．It is not accurate in translating at all.Fed up with tourists who only come in to check out the scenery, the owners of Queviures Murria, a grocery store in Barcelona, Spain, have put up a sign announcing a 5 euro fee for coming in just to look.Queviures Murria has been in business since 1898 and is one of the most eye-catching locations in all of Barcelona. The vintage (老式的) look of the store and the traditional design of the inside attract hundreds of tourists every day, but the problem is that many of them aren’t actually interested in the products sold inside—all kinds of traditional Spanish cured sausages, cold cuts, cured cheeses, oils, wines, etc. According to the store, many tourists enter the store without even saying a simple “hello”, wander around taking pictures, and then simply leave without buying anything. So it decided to charge people for “just looking” just to discourage them.Toni Merino, one of the managers at Queviures Murria, said that the idea to charge tourists a fee for simply coming into the grocery store and looking around without buying anything started out as a joke, but as the staff and the regular customers became increasingly inconvenienced by random tourists looking around, taking pictures, with absolutely no interest in the products on display, they decided to do it.Merino has clarified that he and his partners have no interest in actually charging the fee, and they don’t really have to anymore. By posting a warning about the 5 euro fee in the shop window, they have managed to discourage most unwanted visitors.After photos of the 5-euro fee announcement in the window of Queviures Murria spread quickly on social media, the Barcelona business faced a public outcry, and it was forced to explain the reasons and clarify that it didn’t really plan on carrying on the measure. 12．What can we learn about Queviures Murria?A．Tourists are not welcome there.B．It has a history of nearly 100 years.C．It charges people for taking photos.D．Tourists prefer its design to the products sold there.13．Why did the grocery store put up the sign?A．To earn a fame.B．To attract more tourists.C．To warn the impolite visitors.D．To provide a convenient shopping environment.14．What’s the public’s opinion on the measure?A．Opposed.B．Objective.C．Supportive.D．Unconcerned. 15．Where is this text probably taken from?A．A travel journal.B．A news website.C．A fashion magazine.D．A debate program.二、七选五As the new semester rolls in, it’s time to get ready for a fresh start to achieve your goals.16 Here are some practical tips to help you get through a fresh start with ease.Evaluate how you did last semester. Grades aren’t everything, but they can help you understand how well you’re doing in terms of your studies. So start by taking some time to think about these things. Did your grades improve, stay the same, or drop last semester? How can you make changes this semester? 17Set new goals for this semester. Before the semester begins, take some time to set clear and achievable goals for yourself. 18 Having goals will provide you with directions and motivation (动力) throughout the semester. To make the most of it, write your goals and hang them in a visible place.19 Keep your motivation high by reminding yourself of the goals you set. Then surround yourself with supportive people who inspire and encourage you. Celebrate your achievements along the way to maintain a positive attitude. Remember to stay adaptable and make adjustments to your plan as needed throughout the semester.Take care of yourself. Remember to prioritize (优先考虑) your physical and mental health. 20 Practice stress management skills, or engage in hobbies that help you relax. Taking good care of yourself will improve your focus, energy and overall productivity.A．Stay motivated and stay positive.B．Take an active part in various activities.C．Get enough sleep, eat nutritious meals, and exercise regularly.D．Identify what you want to finish academically and personally.E．It will save you time and help you communicate with your teachers.F．You’d better make the most of this time because starting off strong is the key to a successful semester.G．It’s helpful to write these things down, allowing you to make connections and take the next step more easily.三、完形填空people spent so much time at home during COVID-19,” says 28-year-old Li Jianlin, wholovers in China, and it 23 online fitness programs.“Many young people go to the gym, or workout regularly. 24 , a phased (阶段性的) and slow approach to recovering exercise after COVID-19 is the best way to 25 pre-COVID-19 fitness levels.

山东省泰安市2023-2024学年高二下学期7月期末英语试题

山东省泰安市2023-2024学年高二下学期7月期末英语试题一、阅读理解The Chinese animation is becoming more popular in recent years. As the new decade unfolds, the Chinese animation industry looks promising and is likely to deliver more to the world. Here’s our list of Chinese animation movies that people should give a try and watch. Big Fish and BegoniaThis fantasy Chinese animated film was released in 2016. It succeeds in various elementsin its story such as the cycle of life, death, and what’s beyond; the natural order, unconditional love, the yin and yang, the actions and the results, and a beautiful tale of family, love, and friendship. Beyond these remarkable themes is a breathtaking animation with vivid visuals that made watching the whole film a magical and dramatic experience.The Legend of HeiHumanity’s greed for development and urbanization and what are the consequences of these actions are some of the main themes in this fantastic adventure film. And it even gained the praise of Japanese animators when released in Japan in 2019.This film has a vivid style of flashy animation with great fight scenes, and lovable characters to follow. Besides, it delivers an amazing and heartwarming story of family, friendship, and coexistence that will teach the viewers so many important lessons in life. Jiang Ziya: The Legend of DeificationJiang Ziya or The Legend of Deification is the second installment of the Chinese mythology series after Nezha: The Demon’s Rebirth. However, this time, the story follows Jiang Ziya, a god with great sympathy. The movie is a visual feast for the viewers, and was able to deliver a satisfying experience. Nevertheless, the story touches on several important traditions and beliefs among Chinese people.1．Which one is not suitable to describe the film The Legend of Hei?A．Adventurous.B．Meaningful.C．Heartbreaking.D．Affecting 2．What’s the text aimed at?A．Praising Chinese animation.B．Analyzing Chinese animation.C．Appreciating Chinese animation.D．Recommending Chinese animation. 3．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A guidebook to a library.B．An introduction to modern movies.C．A course on movie making.D．An essay on the art of storytelling.Back in the 1990s, Henry Rotich who is from Kenya, did not know much about China, with his best connection to the country being a teakettle made in Shanghai that was owned by his grandmother.Nevertheless, he applied to study in China when an opportunity presented itself in 1998. Luckily, he got the chance to come to China to pursue his master’s degree in chemistry at the same year. And his main challenge at that time was learning the language. However, he could communicate with people easily by simple Chinese after a month.“During my travels around China as a student, I found people very friendly and helpful. That is how I came to learn their language fast.”“Learning language and culture depends on one’s mindset as well as the opportunity to live in an environment where the language is used daily,” Rotich said. He believes that China’s scholarship program for African students to study in China has been instrumental in helping young Africans learn Chinese and immerse (沉浸) themselves in the culture.To complete his chemistry studies, Rotich spent eight years in China. Asked about the benefits of studying in the country, Rotich, who is married to a Chinese woman, quipped (打趣) that he came back to Kenya with “three degrees” in the same period it would take others to get just two degrees. “The first degree is my wife, the second one is my master’s and finally, my PhD,” he said proudly.Rotich said different countries and people should concentrate on their cultural similarities. He has noted many similarities between the Chinese and Kenyan cultures, and this has helped him appreciate the Chinese way of life. The similarities include respect for the elderly, families gathering during special festivals, and good neighborliness.As chairman of the Kenya-China Alumni Association for Kenyan students who studied in China, Rotich praised the role played by Chinese scholarships in promoting cultural exchanges between the two countries.4．Why did Henry Rotich learn Chinese so fast at the beginning?A．He married a Chinese girl.B．He got lots of help from Chinese people.C．He was more intelligent than other students.D．He devoted all his spare time tostudying5．What can we know about Henry Rotich from the passage?A．He came to China to study Chinese.B．He bought a teakettle made in Shanghai.C．He got three degrees when studying in China.D．He has a good knowledge of Chinese culture.6．What does Rotich think of China’s scholarship program?A．It contributes to the cultural communication.B．It increases the cultural similarities.C．It promotes Kenya’s economic growth.D．It helps young Kenyans get higher degrees. 7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Challenges Henry Rotich met in ChinaB．Cultural cooperation between China and KenyaC．Henry Rotich’s studying in China — a wise choiceD．Henry Rotich’s working experience in China — a magic storyIn the last hundred years, the Bali mynah (巴厘岛白椋鸟) has been sought after for its white feathers and blue skin.The capture for sale along with the bird’s habitat loss led to its being listed as “threatened” in 1988. In 1994 the Bali mynah was moved to “critically endangered”. By 2001, experts estimated only about six Bali mynahs were living in the wild, with thousands in captivity (圈养) across the world.Now, conservationists are hoping to increase the mynah population by working with bird breeders and sellers to release them into the wild. Actually, in the 1980s, an organization now called Bird Life International started to work with the government to launch a breeding program for the birds.Breeders can seek government permits to breed the birds. If approved, breeders are given mynahs and can keep 90 percent of the baby birds for private sale. The remaining birds are released at the National Park, where they will be closely watched by park officials.Early mynah releases faced problems. Some birds were infected with some diseases; others were killed by natural hunters. Illegal hunting also continued — the national park’s breeding center was even robbed, with nearly 40 birds stolen.Yet conservation efforts in the last ten years have seen greater success. Tom Squires, a famous conservationist said: “Bird keepers can still keep birds and follow their hobby without causing real problems for wild populations — which is better than species going extinct in the world.”Agus Ngurah, also a well-known conservationist, praised the program. “With the community being the breeders… they are helping us to take care of the birds existing in nature,” he said.Squires noted that there is clear evidence that some released birds have produced young ones. “So that leads me to believe that the population is certainly self-sustaining to an extent,” he said. Meanwhile, 420 Bali mynahs are now found living in the National Park.According to Logan William, another conservationist, “The government should give something back to the community so they can feel the benefits from conservation, and the bird can also benefit.”8．Why is the mynah hunted by humans?A．They are pests.B．They taste good.C．They look beautiful.D．They are countless.9．What can we infer from the three conservationists’ words?A．The government contributes the least.B．Bird keepers can keep the birds freely.C．The efforts of protecting the mynah have paid off.D．The community can breed birds for profits completely.10．How many reasons may cause releasing problems?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.11．What might be the writer’s attitude to the breeding programme?A．Approving.B．Critical.C．Doubtful.D．Opposed.Think twice before you reply to a message with just an emoji (表情符号) . An emoji thatrepresents happiness to one person may express a different emotion to another.To learn more, Ruth Filik at the University of Nottingham, UK, and her colleagues employed 270 British people and 253 people from other countries aged between 18 and 84 years old, with a roughly equal split of men and women, to take part in an online survey. The researchers chose 24 emojis that represented six emotions: happy, disgusted, fearful, sad, surprised or angry, based on the suggested ones that appear when you type out these words. There were four emojis per emotion, representing the different designs used by Apple, Windows, Android and WeChat. Each participant then assigned the emojis to the emotion that they thought was the best match.Women were more likely to match the emojis to the same emotions chosen by the researchers, compared with the men. It may be that women are better at recognizing facial expressions, possibly because they make more eye contact, according to the team. The younger participants also matched up the emojis better than their older counterparts, perhaps because they use these more often. Meanwhile, the British participants matched the emojis better than the others.“For example, it has been suggested that they seldom use the happy emoji to express happiness, instead, they use it for negative meanings such as sarcasm (讽刺) ,” according to the researchers. “When you’re then sending someone a message with an emoji, you can’t just assume that they see it the same way that you do,” says Filik.Isabelle Boutet at the University of Ottawa, Canada, says that matching 24 emojis to just six emotions is quite constrictive. Nevertheless, “there are issues with assigning specific emotional labels to emojis when we don’t know how they’re interpreted by different online communities”, she says. “For example, you would have never thought to use an eggplant as an disapproval if that meaning hadn’t been developed in specific communities.”12．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The research results.B．The research process.C．The research theory.D．The research conditions.13．Who may be better at matching the emojis to the same emotions?A．An old French man.B．A young Chinese man.C．A young British lady.D．An old Japanese lady.14．What does the underlined word “constrictive” mean in the last paragraph?A．Limited.B．Complicated.C．Difficult.D．Professional. 15．What is the text?A．A biography.B．A book review.C．A science fiction.D．A science report.Laughter is a universal language for humans to connect with each other and form social bonds. Even as babies, we giggle when our parents pull funny faces, and then gradually learn to make others laugh as we grow up. 16 Scientists have observed behaviors in animals that suggest that your pets might be secret jokesters.Have you ever seen dogs let people come close to their toy, and then playfully run away with it? Biologist Charles Darwin saw this as the dog’s version of a practical joke. Mare Bekoff, biology professor, also observed dogs playfully teasing each other by approaching slowly and then quickly running away. 17 And he’s also said that animals may goof around (瞎胡闹) as a way to cope with stress.In a 2024 study, Isabelle Laumer and colleagues watched four ape species interact with each other and observed 18 distinct teasing behaviors. They saw young apes move towards an adult quietly, pat them to surprise them and then wait and watch the response, behaviour similar to that shown by human children. 18What about laughing? While playing, dogs sometimes produce a breathy snort (哼) that could sound like laughter. 19 Rats make a joyful squeak (吱吱声) similar to a giggle when they are tickled, says Jeffrey Burgdorf, professor at Northwestern University.20 Are the apes in Laumer’s study really joking around or just attention-seeking? What would be the evolutionary purpose of animals teasing? “In humans, humour can serve as an ice-breaker, removing social barriers and strengthening relationships,” says Laumer. “We don’t know if it’s the same in apes or other animals, but it’s possible.”A．But is it a uniquely human experience?B．His study showed that rats intend to tease.C．Dolphins let out a squeak when they are hungry.D．Dolphins let out sounds of joy when play-fighting.E．His work concluded that dogs just want to have fun.F．But is a rat’s giggle really a sign of a sense of humour?G．So, a sense of humour may have appeared early in our evolutionary timeline.二、完形填空Music is said to make one smarter; exercise is believed to help one’s brain function better. Can exercising to music boost brainpower 21 ?In a cognitive (认知的) ability test, some volunteers were asked to 22 Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” while exercising. It turned out that they performed better than when they exercised without 23 .“The findings suggest exercise 24 people’s cognitive performance,” said Charles Emery, one of the leading researchers. “And listening to music can enhance 25 . Next, the both will be combined to see what will happen,” Emery 26 .Later, Emery and his colleagues launched another test, where 33 patients were asked to exercise with and without music separately after 27 cardiovascular (心血管的) surgery. After the test, the patients reported they felt better physically and 28 after exercising with or without music. 29 , their improvement on cognitive ability doubled when exercising to music. “Exercising to music seems to bring 30 changes in nervous system, which may have a direct 31 on cognitive ability,” Emery said.“The 32 of the two elements may increase cognitive ability to a degree.” Emery said. But the conclusion was not convincing. 33 , the music styles adopted in the previous tests were not colorful. To further prove their findings, Emery intended to 34 more people using different music types. He said: “Given the diversity of music styles, proving what music type works best is 35 .”21．A．doubly B．partly C．instantly D．absolutely 22．A．sing out B．listen to C．note down D．act out 23．A．movies B．music C．poems D．art 24．A．evaluates B．weakens C．improves D．confirms 25．A．standards B．function C．abilities D．brainpower 26．A．quoted B．discussed C．debated D．added27．A．finishing B．conducting C．accepting D．giving 28．A．heartily B．bodily C．mentally D．morally 29．A．However B．Thus C．Otherwise D．Instead 30．A．positive B．predictive C．various D．negative 31．A．impression B．result C．feedback D．effect 32．A．relation B．combination C．separation D．assumption 33．A．After all B．All in all C．In closing D．In contrast 34．A．test B．teach C．train D．inspire 35．A．influential B．meaningful C．impressive D．incredible三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

He has similar goals as me: get in shape, get into music more seriously, and be fluent in Japanese.Though I haven’t entirely reached my long-term goals yet in any of these 3 ways, he’s seen that I’ve made some progress on my journey to achieving these goals and wanted my advice.We had a nice hour and a half chat on the phone about this and it seemed like he was pretty motivated by the end of the chat. A week went by and he told me that he signed up for a personal fitness trainer, was studying music theory, and sent me clips of him studying Japanese. He’s posting regularly on social media abo ut all the progress he’s making. He’s motivated and doing great!At last I’ll have to remind him that progress isn’t linear (线性的) and that he’ll finally meet with some challenges in the road, but I’m letting him enjoy the present progress in the meantime and will help him tackle them when that time comes.I’m grateful for him giving me the opportunity to serve him and give him advice, and I’m grateful to see that he’s investing the time and money to promote his life. He even posted recently about how grateful he is with all the recent changes in his life.Even if you’re still not where you want to be, there are a lot of people out there who want what you have and who are impressed with how far you’ve come. It’s extremely joyful to be aware how far you’ve come, be proud of yourself, and recognize how much you can help others achieve the same.4.

But now we can also add fire safety to this list. As wildfires damage increasingly large areas of the planet each year, goatherds (牧羊人) may offer a way of reducing the risk.Wildfires are made possible by hot, dry weather conditions as well as a supply of dead plants that serve as fuel. We may have limited control over the former factor, but we can control the latter. Reducing the fuel load lowers the possibility of wildfires occurring, as well as the amount of damage caused. This is where we can tum to goats to search for a solution, which are being used for landscape management in a number of places around the world, including Greece, Spain, Portugal, Chile and a number of parts of the United States.Goats have an extremely powerful digestive (消化的) system. Many kinds of plants that are dangerous to other animals can be easily eaten by goats. It’s not just fu lly-grown plants that goats are able to deal with: any seeds that pass through a goat can’t survive and will not grow. Human clearance teams have to worry about getting to the hard-to-reach places where plants grow but goats don’t. They are skilled mountai n climbers and when standing on their hind legs, they can reach up to two metres to the plants that humans would struggle to reach. Because of this, using goats can reduce both the possibility of workplace accidents and the amount of money spent on fire protection measures. Goatherds have been found to clear some parts of land for a third of the price of human control teams.Cost and safety aren’t the only benefits. Goats are quieter than grass-cutting machines and people usually prefer to see goats eating grass rather than litres of herbicide (除草剂). Children are often attracted to see the goats at work and this provides an opportunity to educate people about preventing wildfires.8. Why can goats help to prevent wildfires?A．They are not afraid of bad weather. B．They are easily controlled by goatherds.C．They have the strongest digestive system. D．They can remove dead plants causingfire.9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A．The fire protection measures that people often take.B．The reasons why goats are used to prevent wildfires.C．The difficulty human clearance teams have preventing fire.D．The effects goats have on the natural balance of mountains.10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Herbicide will not be used to remove grass soon.B．Children like goats because of their quiet character.C．It’s a green way to prevent wildfires by using goats.D．Herbicide works better than grass-cutting machines.11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．Firefighting Goats. B．Clever Goatherds.C．Damage Caused by Wildfires. D．Ways to Prevent Disasters.Do you like travelling to other places, cities and countries? Many people do. Tourism is a huge industry ——it’s as large as or larger than the oil, food and car industries. It creates so many jobs that one in every ten people in the world works in tourism.However, for many people and places, tourism is not a completely positive thing. Some places receive millions of tourists a year, which leads to problems for local people. When tour buses block roads, it’s hard for local people to get to work or school. Often, international companies open up, and small shops and restaurants close down. Another problem is accommodation — in Barcelona and New York, for example, many flats and houses are used as tourist accommodation, so homes for local people have become expensive and hard to find.Tourism can have an effect on the environment as well. Natural areas are ruined to make space to build hotels and tourist facilities, and building them consumes a lot of energy and resources. Historic buildings are damaged, such as those in Venice by large cruise ships (游轮) entering the city. These ships also do ham to animal and plant life. More tourism means more crowds, noise, rubbish and pollution.Some governments have already taken actions. In Barcelona and New York, there are now limits on short-term rental accommodation. The number of cruise ships entering Venice is limited now too. Importantly, individual tourists can help by choosing better ways of visiting places. For example, if tourists visit Venice on a cruise ship but they sleep and eat all their meals on the ship, does the local community in Venice really benefit from their visit? If not, it could be better to choose a different form of tourism, one that benefits the city and local people more.Despite some problems, if we can make tourism more sustainable (可持续的), everyone can benefit from it, and people can continue to enjoy visiting these places in the future.12. Why is it hard for New Yorkers to buy cheap houses?A．Because tourists buy local flats and houses.B．Because many houses are needed for travelers.C．Because the government provide little land to build houses.D．Because the houses international companies sell are expensive.13. Why are cruise ships mentioned in Paragraph 3?A．To stress plants and animals die from them.B．To show tourism wastes energy and resources.C．To explain why tourism is not environmentally friendly.D．To suggest the necessity of preventing the development of tourism.14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly stress about tourism?A．The cruise ship is not a good choice for tourists.B．Tourism should be developed in a sustainable way.C．Local community in Venice shows no interest in tourism.D．Governments have done extremely well in developing tourism.15. What is the author’s at titude towards tourism?A．Unclear. B．Disapproving. C．Doubtful. D．Positive.How to Start the New Year FreshAfter you celebrate New Year’s Eve, it’s time to get to work on the New Year’s resolutions (计划)!16 , so choose wisely and take action.●Start a fitness routineThink about your present health and your overall fitness goals, and make a plan to improve your health based on where you are. For example, you can start taking a 20-minute walk after work every day, or you can train to run a marathon in the fall. 17 .

2021年山东泰安市第二中学高三英语期末试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（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ASpeaking with people on the phone is pretty rare these days. Most people use e-mail or messaging apps when they need to communicate with someone. Sometimes, though, making a call is unavoidable. This simple act can actually be a nightmare for some people. Their hearts race and their hands sweat at the very thought. If this sounds familiar to you, you might be one of the millions of people who suffer from telephobia—the fear of speaking over the phone.Telephobia is a form of social anxiety, although people who feel perfectly comfortable in social situations may also experience telephobia. When speaking face-to-face, we give off lots of facial or bodily cues that help each other follow the conversation. This is not the case over the phone. And the idea of speaking into this void（真空）makes people terrified that they will freeze up, stumble over their words（失言）, or lose control of the conversation and look foolish In fact, telephobia is very similar to thefear people feel before putting on a performance in front of a big audience. However, there are things that one suffering from thin condition can do to reduce this fear and make phone calls at least somewhat bearable.One thing that those with telephobia can do before a call in smile. It may sound silly, but smiling before doing something stressful can help you feel more relaxed. It won't delete the anxiety altogether, but it will take the edge off it.Similarly, imagining how the call will go before you make it can also help things go more smoothly. Running through a positive conversation in your head will make you feel less nervous and may help you predict any possible problems. There's no need to spend hours on this, just a few minutes thinking up a general idea of what you want to say. You can even write down some brief notes to remind yourself of your talking points. This is particularly useful for dealing with the fear of not being able to express yourself naturally.And finally, when faced with receiving a call, you don't always have to pick up. There's nothing wrong with calling the person back later when you feel more comfortable.So the next time your phone starts ringing, remember—speaking on the phone doesn't have to make you sweat. The important thing is to be aware of your fear and take steps to deal with it.1. According to the article, which situation can cause a feeling similar lo telephobia?A.Speaking face-to-face to a good friend.B. Performing in front of a large audience.C. Running in a race without proper shoes.D. Using a messaging app while on the subway.2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to deal with telephobia?A.Imagining how the call will go before you make it.B. Standing on the edge of a tall building while making a call.C. Calling someone back later instead of answering their phone calls right away.D. Writing down some brief notes to remind yourself of your talking points.3. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To present ways to ease telephobia.B. To explain the development of telephobiaC. To introduce the influence of telephobia.D. To give the reason why someone suffers from telephobia.BOnce small farmers in Masii, a remote village in Kenya, have picked their crops, all they can do is wait until a buyer trucks through. The system works fairly well for beans and corn, but mangoes-the area’s other main crop-spoil (腐烂) more quickly. If the trader is late, they rot.However, a simple coating could change that. A company, SmartTech, has created a product that doubles the shelf life of fresh produce, enabling farmers to access far-off, larger markets. More time forfresh produce on grocers’ shelves also means less food waste-a $2.6 trillion problem, according to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).James Rogers, CEO of SmartTech, wanted to solve the problem for food much in the same way that oxide barriers preventing rust (锈) have achieved for steel. Fortunately, researchers have found when plants made the jump from water to land, they developed cutin(蜡质), a barrier which is made of fatty acids that link together to form a seal around the plant, helping keep water in.The cutin was such a grand strategy that today you’ll still find it across the plant kingdom. SmartTech discovered through researches that an orange can last longer than a strawberry not so much because of the thickness of its skin, but because of the difference in the arrangement of those cutin molecules (分子)on the surface. After extensive trials, Rogers and his team developed a natural and tasteless protective coating from plantmaterial-stems, leaves and skins. The product extends the sweet spot between ripening and rot. And best of all, the treated produce doesn’t require refrigeration.“SmartTech has huge potential to turn poor farmers in Africa into commercial farmers,” says Rogers. “That means more money in pockets, and more food in stomachs.” But whether the company can cost-effectively reach small farmers in far-off areas still remains a challenge.4. The author mentions the small farmers in Kenya to ________.A. stress their need for preserving produceB. show their challenge in harvesting cropsC. express their wish to reach larger marketsD. evaluate their loss caused by slow transport5. What can we learn about SmartTech’s product?A. It is financially supported by FAO.B. It is intended to replace refrigeration.C. It is designed to thicken produce’s skin.D. It is based on plants’own defence system.6. What will James Rogers probably focus on next?A. How to expand farms.B. How to earn more money.C. How to produce more tasty food.D. How to profit farmers in remote area.7. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. promote a productB. present a technologyC. advertise SmartTechD. introduce James RogersCWe touch our faces all the time, and it had never seemed to be a big problem—until COVID-19 arrived. Touching our faces—the "T-zone" of our eyes, nose and mouth in particular—can mean giving ourselves the deadly virus.This is why organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have suggested that we avoid touching our faces. "Just stop this simple behavior," William Sawyer, founder of Henry the Hand, a nonprofit organization that promotes hand hygiene (卫生), told The Washington Post. "It's the one behavior that would bebetter than any vaccine (疫苗) ever created."Yet, stopping this "simple" behavior might be harder than you think because it's already hardwired (固定存在于) into our system.Some face touchingis an automatic reflex (反射) —like when there is an itch (痒) on your nose, you'll scratch (挠) it without thinking. According to CNBC, a 2014 study found that touching your face also helps to reduce stress and regulate emotions. For example, you're more likely to do it when you feel awkward or embarrassed. According to Dacher Keltner, a psychologist at the University of California Berkeley, US, this action may also come with a social function: When you are talking to someone and want to change the subject, for example, touching your face is like "the curtains on a stage, closing up one act of the social drama, ushering (引导) in the next," Keltner told the BBC.Moreover, face-touching in almost all of these occasions is subconscious, which means it's very hard to change "because you don't even know you're doing it", said Sawyer. But you're not alone. In a 2015 study, wherea group of medical students were filmed in class, it was found that they touched their faces an average of 23 times an hour—with 44 percent of the touches being in the "T-zones". That was particularly surprising since medical students were supposed to know better.Since it's so hard to shake the habit, maybe the easiest way is to wash our hands more often. This way, we can be sure that our hands are free from the novel coronavirus.8. What do the first two paragraphs talk about?A. The best way to fight COVID-19B. How organizations are fighting COVID-19.C. Typical hand hygiene problems in the fight against COVID-19.D. The necessity to avoid touching our faces to fight COVID-19.9. Why is it hard for people to stop touching their faces?A. It makes people feel more confident.B. Many are unaware of this behavior's risks.C. They usually do it automatically and subconsciouslyD. Many think the action helps them express their emotions.10. Which of the following is a social function of touching faces, according to the text?A. Using it as a sign to change the topicB. Bringing a conversation to an end.C. Showing an interest in the ongoing subject.D. Making others feel relaxed while talking.11. What is the author's purpose in mentioning a 2015 study on a group of medical students?A. To give tips on how to stop touching faces.B. To prove that it is common for people to touch their faces.C. To show it is impossible to shake the habit of touching your face.D. To show how hygiene awareness helps people avoid touching their faces.DIn the summer of 2016, I gave a talk at a small conference in northernVirginia. I began by admitting that I’d never had a social-media account; I then outlined arguments for why other peopleshould consider removing social media from their lives. The event organizers uploaded the video of my talk to YouTube. Then it was shared repeatedly on Facebook and Instagram and, eventually, viewed more than five million times. I was both pleased and annoyed by the fact that my anti-social-media talk had found such a large audience on social media.I think of this event as typical of the love-hate relationships many of us have with Facebook, Instagram, and other social-media platforms. On the one hand, we’ve grown cautious about the so-called attention economy, which, in the name of corporate(公司的) profits, destroys social life gradually and offends privacy. But we also benefit from social media and hesitate to break away from it completely. Not long ago, Imet a partner at a large law firm in Washington, D.C., who told me that she keeps Instagram on her phone because she misses her kids when she travels; looking through pictures of them makes her feel better.In recent months, some of the biggest social-media companies, Facebook and Twitter, in particular, have promised various reforms. In March, Mark Zuckerberg announced a plan to move his platform toward private communication protected by end-to-end encryption(端对端加密); later that month, he put forward the establishment of a third-party group to set standards for acceptable content.All of these approaches assume that the reformation of social media will be a complex, lengthy, and gradual process. But not everyone sees it that way. Alongside these official responses, a loose collective of developers that calls itself the IndieWeb has been creating another alternative. They are developing their own social-media platforms, which they say will preserve what’s good about social media while getting rid of what’s bad. They hope to rebuild social media according to principles that are less corporate and more humane(人道的).12. Why did the author feel annoyed when his video was spread online?A. His video caused many arguments.B. His video was shared without his permission.C. His talk was opposed by a large amount of people.D. His video’s popularity on social media is against his talk.13. Why does the author mention the story of his partner in paragraph 2?A. To prove that social media has some benefits.B. To advise people to break away from social media.C. To tell the negative effects social media may produce.D. To describe people’s complicated relationships with social media.14. What is the purpose of the reform made by some social-media companies?A. To attract more users.B. To improve network environment.C. To make more profits.D. To provide more convenientservice.15. What does the IndieWeb intend to do?A. Develop new social-media platforms.B. Remove social media from people’s lives.C. Improve the existing social-media principles.D. Help social-media companies to make reformation.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

山东省泰安市2024届高三下学期一模检测英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解“The Greatest Night in Pop” Makes a Trip Down Memory Lane for You and Me Being of a certain age will surely enhance the pleasure in watching “The Greatest Night in Pop”, a documentary on the making of “We Are the World” nearly 40 years ago. Lionel Richie serves as the tour guide for this trip down memory lane, which fulfills its promise to make a better day for you and me.For those who don’t remember, the song and video to benefit starving people in Africa was pulled together in 1985, cleverly gathering nearly four dozen influential musical stars after they appeared at the American Music Awards. As Richie notes, organizers knew they had “one night only to get this right,” with producer Quincy Jones famously posting a sign outside that read, “Check your ego (自负) at the door.”Directed by Bao Nguyen, the whole thing is pretty exciting, drawing from the enough footage (连续镜头) shot that night to provide plenty of fly-on-the-wall moments, added by interviews with musicians and the production crew.There are plenty of amusing details, like Diana Ross asking Daryl Hall for his signature, which opened the floodgates to these performers releasing their inner fans and moving around the room collecting signatures.Granted, the trade-off to watching is you’ll likely be humming or singing “We Are the World” for the next several days. Consider that a relatively small price to pay for a front-row seat to this remarkable gathering of musical royalty, and the magic that happened during one long night when, at Jones’ request, they left their egos outside.1．What is a purpose of the documentary?A．To benefit starving people in Africa.B．To be in honour of “We Are the World”.C．To remember famous American musicians.D．To raise fund for the American Music Awards.2．Who is the director of the documentary?A．Quincy Jones.B．Diana Ross.C．Lionel Richie.D．Bao Nguyen.3．What do we know about the documentary?A．It may make the song popular again.B．The price of a front-row seat is worthless.C．The younger you are, the more you like it.D．The production crew are more royal to music.When Stanford University student Ellen Xu was a five-year-old in California, she vividly recalls her parents rushing her little sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had fallen acutely ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, a rash and some swelling in her hands and tongue.At first, the puzzled doctors thought she had influenza, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the emergency room, where a doctor by chance had prior experience with an acute inflammatory (炎症性的) reaction in the blood vessels known as Kawasaki disease. Though rare, it’s the leading cause of acquired heart disease in babies and young children, and its cause and triggers remain somewhat mysterious. The doctor knew how to treat it: He ordered a dose of intravenous immunoglobulin, and eventually Kate shook off the illness without suffering damage to her heart.Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s dramatic condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to detect. “In my mind, it was this mystery, she says. ”It was a puzzle I wanted to solve.A decade later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea: ”What if we had a doctor in our pocket?“ So she created just that: Using AT, Xu designed an algorithm(算法) that uses visual data to diagnose (诊断) Kawasaki disease based on five physical symptoms.The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the image for symptoms of Kawasaki disease, which often have a strong visual element, such as a rash or a swollen tongue.Xu’s invention has been applied as a web app on the Kawasaki Disease Foundation’s website without charge. ”The technology could also be developed for recognizing auto-immune and rheumatological (风湿病学的) diseases, “ she says. ”It means a lot to me. I want to use Al to help people live happier and healthier lives. “4．Why was Kawasaki disease so hard to diagnose?A．It had no symptoms.B．It had never been known before.C．It could be confused with influenza.D．It couldn’t be diagnosed by medical instruments.5．What’s the function of the first three paragraphs?A．To describe the bad results of the disease.B．To introduce a case remaining mysterious.C．To show why Xu developed the technology.D．To prove doctors should accumulate clinical experience.6．What’s the advantage of Xu’s invention?A．It is convenient and cheap.B．It can take the place of doctors.C．It can treat Kawasaki disease quickly.D．It can diagnose Kawasaki disease via scanned pictures.7．What can be learned from the text?A．The technology is an AI-powered diagnosed tool.B．Xu had the idea of the technology when Kate was treated.C．The technology can’t be applied to diagnose other diseases.D．Influenza is the leading reason of acquired heart disease in babies.“Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World” by Cal Newport is an exploration of the challenges posed by our modern, digitally-driven environment and the strategies one can employ to achieve focused success. Newport researches the concept of deep work, emphasizing its critical role in an era marked by constant distractions.The book addresses the common issue of information overload and the impact of shallow tasks on productivity. Newport argues that the ability to engage in deep, concentrated work is essential for success. The author supports his claims with research, including experiments comparing brain connectivity patterns during deep work and shallow tasks.Newport’s work agrees with earlier studies, confirming that handwritten notes outperform (胜过) typed ones in academic performance. Beyond academia, Newport presents evidence of the cognitive (认知的) benefits of deep work.The book provides practical strategies for integrating deep work into one’s professional life, advocating for routines and intentional changing of the brain to resist distractions. Newport introduces concepts like productive meditation (冥想) and the craftsman approachto tool selection, offering readers actionable advice to enhance their focus and productivity.“Deep Work” has won widespread praise for its insights into productivity in a distracted world. Many praise Newport’s thorough research, combining neuroscience with practical advice. Readers appreciate the real-world examples, from Carl Jung’s focused mindset to a social media pioneer’s distraction-free writing journey.In conclusion, “Deep Work” stands as a valuable guide for navigating the challenges of the digital age. Newport’s exploration of deep work as a catalyst (催化剂) for success, supported by research and concrete strategies, has left a lasting impact on how individuals approach their professional and personal lives. It serves as a timely reminder to prioritize focus and concentration in an era defined by constant connectivity and distractions.8．What kind of writing is this passage?A．A book review.B．An advertisement.C．A science report.D．A psychological research.9．How does Cal Newport support his claims about the benefits of deep work in the book? A．By sharing personal experiences.B．By providing practical strategies.C．By doing experiments on brain connectivity.D．By integrating deep work into one’s professional life10．What does Newport advocate as a strategy in “Deep Work”?A．Selective tools.B．Inflexible mind.C．Changeable routines.D．Productive meditation.11．What does the author want to tell us in the book?A．Achieving success through focus.B．The necessity of handwritten notes.C．The drawbacks of constant connectivity.D．An analysis of modern workforce challenges.familiar location where individuals feel calm and peaceful. Pushing beyond this psychological state might have benefits.The comfort zone can be understood as a behavioral metaphor. Within a comfort zone, an individual takes on a state of minimal anxiety without a perception of risk, respondingpredictably to deliver a consistent level of performance. These include behaviors that people do commonly, find relaxing, or that take them away from high-stress situations. Engaging in the same manner over time leads to a predictable and familiar zone of comfort. As creatures of habit, we become dependent on these routines that we know we can complete well to feel secure. However, by stepping outside of our comfort zone, we learn about our ability to handle new situations and control risks, leading to greater self-confidence, and lower levels of anxiety.One study found that individuals who are more secure in stepping out of their comfort zone are more likely to be excited by and look forward to new experiences, feeling greater confidence in their ability to take them on.One behavior that demonstrates the benefits of stepping out of a comfort zone is learning to play a musical instrument. When we consider actions outside of our comfort zone, we must assess our desire to engage in that activity. By weighing the pros and cons, we evaluate how uncomfortable a situation may seem, and whether the danger of entering such an unknown situation will be worth the risk.Music offers a safe way to step out of your initial comfort zone because you can begin by practicing in an isolated setting, which offers a casual, safe way to build a new skill set. By picking up and practicing a new instrument, you have proven to yourself that you are capable of meeting an unfamiliar objective, thus decreasing anxiety.12．What does the underlined word “haven” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A．Habitat.B．Shelter.C．Community.D．Destination. 13．Which will not be considered when we step out of our comfort zone?A．We recall the old experience.B．We think whether it is worth the risk.C．We evaluate our thirsty for the activity.D．We weigh the strengths and weaknesses.14．What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph?A．The definition of the comfort zone.B．The importance of psychological well-being.C．The process of learning a new musical instrument.D．The benefits of stepping out of one’s comfort zone.15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．How to Identify Comfort ZoneB．Staying Inside Comfort Zone is ImportantC．Stepping Outside Comfort Zone Promotes LearningD．How to Take Yourself Away from High-stress Situations二、七选五16．“Rise to Glory” is an incredibly inspiring film that unfolds the grippingrollercoaster, mixing moments of success with heart-breaking setbacks.The cinematography, the technique of making films for the cinema, in “Rise to Glory”sequences (镜头) with quiet moments of reflection adds a layer of depth to the storytelling.theme of growth and resilience (适应力).

AThe gift that never stops givingPeople are going for gifts that are reused time and time again, （while also saving money）, gifts that have recyclable packaging, or the recyclable elements included within them. One of the best options is to go for a green hamper（篮子）.Gift hampers can be reusedThe fact that green items are frequently reusable is one of their main advantages. With a green hamper, you can reuse everything that was inside of it, including the container. Many green hampers are available in wicker（柳条）baskets，allowing you to keep the present for a long time and reuse it for other purposes.Gift hampers are eco-friendlyA lot of people are worried about the environment and reducing CO2 emissions（排放）. This is why green hampers are becoming more popular. Typically, businesses that sell green baskets will guarantee that the items inside them were manufactured by hand or in facilities with minimum CO2 emissions. However, the wicker baskets are more breakable items.How to reuse wicker basketsWhy not keep a selection of potted plants in your wicker basket？This will look great in your dining room. With a wicker basket, for instance, place individual toiletries, towels, and blankets onthe hamper for presentation in your guests' rooms. You can give your visitors a warm, “hotel inspired” feeling.Giving someone an awesome gift hamper that is also eco-friendly conveys a unique message to the recipient because there are so many options for gift baskets, you can fill them as you choose. This is why green hampers in particular are dominating the market.1. What is probably the concern of people who choose hampers?A. Comfort.B. Expense.C. Security.D. Beauty.2. Which can best describe the advantages of green hampers?A. Reusable and tough.B. Popular and costly.C. Multipurpose and recyclable.D. Ever-lasting and eco-friendly.3. What is the author's attitude to the popularization of green hampers?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.BThere have been numerous attempts to create an all-plastic bike. But most have never passed through the prototype stage（原始阶段）. Igus，a Germany-based manufacturer of high-performance plastics, and Dutch start-up MTRL aim to change that with the igus: bike—the world's first urban bike crafted almost entirely from recycled plastic.Igus CEO Frank Blasé first got the idea while vacationing on a Florida beach in 2009. A conversation with some employees from a rental company made him aware of the challenges of maintaining beach bicycles. The continuous exposure to sand, wind and salt water caused the bikes to rust rapidly. Many had to be replaced in only three months.The igus: bike, unveiled at a German trade show, is maintainable and rust-free. It can be left outdoors in all weathers and does not require lubricant oil（润滑油）to reduce friction between parts. Since it does not attract sand, dust or dirt, the bike can be cleaned with a garden hose（水管）in seconds."As all components are made of plastic, no part of the bike rusts, even the gears —bicycle gears made of plastic were unthinkable for a long time, "Blasé says.The igus: bike will also help combat the world's plastic pollution. The company says a single adult bike gives new life to about 16 kilograms of single-use plastic that would otherwise choke our landfills or waterways.Currently, 90 percent of the igus: bike is made using recycled plastic. This includes the bicycle's frame, bearings, pedals and wheel rims. Igus and MTRL believe future versions will be made entirely from recycled plastic."From ocean plastics to motion plastics — the igus: bike concept has what it takes to become a high-tech ecological product, "says MTRL co-founder Benjamin Alderse Baas.The plastic bikes are expected to come onto the market in early 2023. An adult model, made entirely from recycled plastic, will cost about E1400. A slightly cheaper version made using new plastic and an electric bike are also in the works. Igus also plans on sharing its technology with other bicycle manufacturers.4. What makes Igus CEO Frank Blase seek to create the igus: bike?A. His holidaying in Florida last year.B.

Unnecessary meetings waste $37 billion in salary hours a year in the U. S. alone,Many meetings occur without a specific reason. Another motive for meetings is what some scholars call the Mere Urgency effect, in which we engage in tasks—such as a meeting where each person recites what they're working on, whether others need that information or not—to help us feel like we are accomplishing something actual.But the real problem with meetings is not lack of productivity—it's unhappiness. When meetings are a waste of time, job satisfaction declines. And when job satisfaction declines, happiness in general falls. Thus, for a large population, eliminating meetings—or at least minimizing them—is one of the most straightforward ways to increase well-being.Nobody likes excessive and unproductive meetings. First, they generally increase fatigue. You have probably experienced a day of meetings, after which you are exhausted and haven'taccomplished much. Second, people tend to engage in "surface acting"（faking emotions that are deemed appropriate）during work meetings. Finally, researchers have found that the strongest predictor of meeting effectiveness is active involvement by the participants. If you are asking yourself, "Why am I here?" you are not likely to think that the meeting is a good use of your time—which is obviously bad for your work satisfaction.Taken together, the research on meetings shows that if you want to be happier at work （or want your employees to be happier）, you should fight against the time-consuming, unproductive meetings at every opportunity. If there is one rule to remember about work meetings, it might be that they are a necessary evil. They are necessary as organizations need them for proper communication, but they are evil in that they are not irreplaceable, and should thus be used as little as possible for the sake of productivity and happiness.8. Why does the author mention the survey in Para 1?A. To explain the survey.B. To introduce the topic.C. To stress the importance of meeting.D. To state the disadvantage of meeting.9. Which of the following best explains “eliminating” underlined in Para 3?A. Reducing.B. Hosting.C. Increasing.D. Avoiding.10. What is mainly talked about in Para 4?A. How to increase people's job satisfaction.B. The importance and necessity of minimizing meetings.C. Why excessive and unproductive meetings lower job satisfaction.D. Active involvement by the participants indicates meeting effectiveness.11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A. Work meetings—A necessary evil.B. Work meetings—The less, the better.C. Work meetings—The more, the better.D. Work meetings—Excessive and unproductive.DHow can people speak their mind without saying anything? This is a question that scientists have aimed to answer for a long time. Researchers recently brought an upgraded device that can translate users' brain waves into daily speech.Previously, the team led by Edward Chang at the University of California, San Francisco, developed an Al-based system that can identify up to 50 commonly used words based on the participant's brain waves. The participant was a paralyzed（瘫痪的）man who had been implanted with 16 electrodes（电极）under his skull.According to their paper published in November, the team upgraded the system which can now translate thoughts into complete sentences on a computer screen.Their tests showed that the device could decode silently spoken letters from a 1, 152-word vocabulary at a speed of about 29 characters per minute. The accuracy was up to 94 percent. "It shows strong promise for restoring communication by tapping into the brain's natural speech machinery, "Chang said to the university's news website.However, this method can still be problematic since users still need to undergo surgery. Scientists at the University of Texas, US, have tried to translate people's thoughts without even touching their heads, reported Live Science.The new technique is called fMRI，or functional magnetic resonance imaging（功能性磁共振成像）. It's a safer way of "reading" brain activity. Active brain cells have more oxygen. By tracking these cells, scientists can translate brain activity.The team asked participants to listen to16 hours of radio shows while scanning their brains. Then they used a computer algorithm（算法）to create a story based on the fMRI recording. It matched the radio shows pretty well.Also, the algorithm could basically explain the story of a silent movie that the participants watched. The team aims to develop this technology so that it can be used in brain-computer interfaces（脑机接口）designed for people who cannot speak or type.12. What do we know about the device mentioned in Para 2?A. It was implanted into a man's heart.B. It can help restore patients' lost memory.C. It was developed through cooperation.D. It can identify about 50 rarely used words.13. How does fMRI “read” people’s minds？A. By tracking their active brain cells.B. By putting electrodes into their brains.C. By recording their reaction to radio shows.D. By matching their brain activity with their habits.14. Why is fMRI chosen compared to the first device mentioned in the story?A. It's cheaper.B. It's more accurate.C. It's smaller in size.D. It's safer.15. What can be concluded about fMRI from the last two paragraphs?A. It can only read what participants hear.B. It can be used in brain-computer interfaces.C. It can read every detail of participants' minds.D. It cannot work out what people imagine in their heads.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。
