Although September's job 36 was stronger than most economists were expecting, it is still not growing fast enough for the millions of Americans 37 for work.In many U.S. cities, frustration over the scarcity〔供不应求〕 of jobs is spilling out into the streets in the 38 of protests, like the "Jobs Not Cuts" rally in Washington.Many, including rapper Godfrey James, say lawmakers are not doing enough to help 39 Americans.Experts say hiring is likely to remain weak for the remainder of the year as companies wait for the economy to 40In New York, where the "Occupy Wall Street" movement appears to be gaining momentum〔势头〕, activists say the richest one percent own most of the country's wealth."I feel like the middle class has been almost completely 41 now. Now, you have got the bottom class and the top class," said one protester.42 , about 14 million Americans are unemployed, nearly 40 percent have been out of work for more than six months.President Barack Obama, who is running for re-election next year, is pressuring Congress to pass a $450 billion job creation plan. Republicans, who see the economy as the 43 weakness, have blocked many of his initiatives〔提案〕 and are 44 to approve the package of tax cuts and public spending.But small business owner Dave Finnegan says Americans need to remind politicians who's 45 in charge."This is how things get done," said Finnegan. "That building, the Capitol building is only a place where they vote on stuff, it's not a place where things originate. Things 46 with people in the street. This is a democracy and it has to start here."While better than expected job numbers last month have helped calm fears of a new recession〔不景气〕, the nation's chronic high unemployment is expected to be a major issue in .

Steve was 48. the greatest of American innovators – brave enough to think 49. , bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity〔独创性〕. By making computers personal 50. putting the internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grownups 51. .

And there may be 54. greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that 55. of the world learned of his passingon a device he invented.Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension 〔30 marks〕Directions： Read the following 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．AWhen their parents were children, they imagined a future standing in front of a class of pupils or doing the rounds as a doctor．But today's British teenagers, a survey suggests, seem to have set their sights only on becoming the next Leona Lewis or Wayne Rooney．Researchers questioned 3,000 teenagers about their ambitions and also asked parents about their youthful career hopes．According to the survey, youngsters dream of a celebrity lifestyle, perhaps after finding fame through shows such as the X Factor, and of being actors or sports stars．Copying the likes of Rooney and David Beckham was the top career ambition of today's teenagers, cited by 12 percent．Almost as many, 11 percent, wanted to be pop stars, and the same proportion dreamed of being actors．The success of celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay is likely to explain why becoming a chef is now the dream of 5 percent, a career ambition which did not figure in the list of 25 years ago．A quarter of a century back teaching was the top career choice, cited by 15 percent．These days the job is chosen by only 4 percent．Of the traditional professions, only law has risen in popularity．The survey also suggests that more girls dream of becoming doctors and boys want careers as astronauts or firefighters．Child psychologist Laverne Antrobus said the findings reflect today's celebrity culture and warned children against unrealistic dreams．"Children see footballers, pop stars and actors on TV and their lives look exciting, glamorous and fun," she said．"It is hard for them to realize that they are the end product of a lot of ingredients including talent, determination and years of hard work．Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch by chance．"As Antrobus pointed out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with children having big dreams, but "these have to be based on reality," she said．56pop stars and actors．A．have the talent of B．work as hard asC．enjoy the celebrity lifestyles of D．become successful by chance like 57．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．12 percent of British teenagers surveyed wanted to become chefs．B．22 percent of British teenagers surveyed wanted to be pop stars or actors．C．None of the traditional professions are favored by today's British teenagers, the survey suggests．D．Teaching, though less popular, seems to remain one of the top career choices on the list．58．According to child psychologist Laverne Antrobus, the change in career ambitions suggested by the study .A．represents progress B．mirrors today’s celebrity cultureC．shows how materialistic youngsters are D．suggests British teenagers watch too much TV59．What does the underlined sentence "Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch by chance．"mean?A．Wayne Rooney does not get to play much today．B．Wayne Rooney didn't get into sport by chance．C．Wayne Rooney doesn't believe in luck when he is playing．D．Wayne Rooney didn't become successful by luck．60．The expert quoted in the article believes ______．A．there's no point in teenagers having dreamsB．it is wrong to desire to live the life of a celebrityC．young Britons have the same ambitions as their parentsD．children should set practical goals when they think of their careerBThe past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists 〔人类学家〕．Descriptions like "Palaeolithic〔旧石器时代的〕Man" ．"Neolithic〔新石器时代的〕Man" ,etc．，neatly sum up whole periods．When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surelychoose the label" Legless Man"．Histories of the time will go something like this: "in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs．Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age．There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking．And the surprising thing is that they didn't use their legs even when they went on holiday．"The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes．In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way．Air travel gives you a bird's-eye view of the world．When you travel by car or train, an unclear picture of the countryside constantly smears the windows．Car drivers, especially, are mixed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop．The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says" I've been there．"You mention the remotest, and someone is bound to say "I've been there"—meaning, "I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else．"When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place．But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless．You want to move on again．By traveling like this, you suspend all experience．The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present．For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes．He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body．At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness．He knows that sound, satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers．61．Anthropologists label man nowadays "Legless" because______．A．people forget how to use their legs B．people prefer cars, buses and trainsC．lifts prevent people from walking D．there are a lot of transportation devices62．Travelling at high speed means______．A．people’s focus on the futureB．a pleasureC．satisfying drivers’ great thrillD．a necessity of life63．Why does the author say “we are deprived of the use of our eyes〞?A．People won’t use their eyes.B．In traveling at high speed, eyes become useless.C．People can’t see anything on their way of travel.D．People want to sleep during traveling.64．What does “a bird’s-eye view〞 mean?A．See view with bird’s eyes.B．A bird looks at a beautiful view.C．It is a general view from a high position looking down.D．A scenic place.65．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A．Legs become weaker.B．Modern means of transportation make the world a small place.C．There is no need to use eyes.D．The best way to travel is on foot.CIf you see someone touched on the cheek, and feel as if your own cheek has been touched, then you have mirror-touch synesthesia (共感觉), a condition that causes people to feel the touches that they see others receive.As the name implies, a mirror effect is involved. If a mirror-touch synesthete is standing opposite someone and the non-synesthete is hit in the right arm, the synesthete will feel the blow in his or h er left arm. If the two are standing next to each other, contact with the non-synesthete’s right arm will be felt in the synesthete’s right arm.People with mirror-touch synesthesia have very active mirror neurons(神经细胞) that can produce intense sensations of emotional empathy(同情). Such people can not only imagine the pain of others, but often feel as if it were their own.Besides feeling what others feel, mirror-touch synesthetes are often morally extremely sensitive; many claim to be unable to understand how people can laugh at the misfortunes of others, and to find action and horror movies unbearable to watch.In , Sarah Jane-Blak9emore, a neuroscientist(神经科学家) at University College London, net a 39-year-old woman who confirmed that she could feel contact that she only observed, such as a pinch(掐). She had thought all people were that way; it had never occurred to her that mirror-touch synesthesia was unusual. Researchers later discovered that 11 of the woman’s relatives had another type of synesthesia, known as color-grapheme synesthesia.Recent studies have shed more light on the phenomenon. Researchers have used brain scans, touch tests, and questionnaires to look for mirror-touch synesthesia in 10 subjects. Brain scans have shown that certain areas of the brain are extremely active when mirror-touch synesthetes see someone being touched, while in touch tests they often mistook an observed touch for the one applied to themselves.Learning why some people are highly sensitive to the emotions of others could teach us more about those who aren’t.66．If you’re a mirror-touch synesthete, which of the following best shows the function of the mirror effect in you?A．When you see someone with the broken leg, you try to help.B．When someone hits you on the head, you feel pain.C．When someone touches your left arm, your right arm feels it.D．When someone hits his left leg, your right leg feels it.67．According to the text, what causes mirror-touch synesthesia?A．Mirror neurons. B．A mirror effect. C．emotional empathy.D．Genes.68．All the following of another person can be sensed by a mirror-touch synesthete EXCEPT .A．being touched B．inner feelings C．knowledge D．pain69．Why is the 39-year-old woman mentioned in Paragraph 5?A．Because 11 of her relatives have synesthesia as well.B．Because she can feel pinch she only observes.C．Because Sarah Jane-Blakemore knew her well.D．Because she had never realized she had synesthesia.70．Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the text?A．We still know little about mirror-touch synesthesia.B．A mirror-touch synesthete is created by horror films.C．Brain scans show the crain is active when touched.D．We can learn about normal people by studying mirror-touch synesthesia. Part IV Writing 〔45 marks〕Section A〔10 marks〕Directions： Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the informationfrom the passage．Write NOMORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Stage FrightStage fright is not commonly thought of as a phobia. Officially, it can be recognized as a subset of glossophobia, or fear of public speaking, which is itself a type of social phobia. Many people who perform on a public stage, from kids in school to professional actors, are potentially at risk for stage fright. Even Hollywood lore is filled with tales of performers who have battled with this phobia.People suffering from stage fright have probably dealt with endless questions from family and friends as to why they put themselves through the torment. Two reasons, according to some experts, can account for this phenomenon. First, most performers haven’t had much practice at it. Any unfamiliar activity creates some stress. Second, none of them likes to be evaluated and they dislike the thought of having others examine them too closely.Then, if one suffers from stage fright, what symptoms can be experienced? The phobia generally begins weeks or months before the performance; they may begin to feel jumpy. As the date of the performance draws closer, the symptoms worsen. A few hours before the time when the performers participate in the show, they may meet some problems such as diarrhea(腹泻), and heart palpitations. Both during and after a show, one may even suffer from dry mouth, which is a very annoying problem to have. What’s worse, their hands may shake so much that they can’t read their own notes.It is important to find healthy ways to cope with stage fright. Many performers turn to self-medication, in an effort to dull the pain. This is never a good choice for anyone, because it can turn into a dangerous cycle for those who perform regularly. Like any phobia, stage fright is highly treatable. Many people with stage fright think that their performance will not be “good enough〞, thereby disappointing their audience and ruining their own careers. Therapy can help you learn to replace these negative messages with more rational thoughts and with the help of some therapists you will also be taught relaxation exercises that you can do when the anxiety becomes overwhelming.Stage fright is remarkably common, and many performers never seek help. Treated properly, however, the condition can be successfully managed.Directions： Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the informationgiven in the passage．Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance．I have forgotten the name of an old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my home town when I was a twelve-year-old boy．Yet it dwells in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I shall never forget．On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the slanted roof of the old lady's house from a spot near her backyard．The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles as they rolled to the roof’s edge and shot out into the yard like comets(彗星) falling from the sky．I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out．The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady's back porch．At the sound of fractured glass, we knew we were in trouble．We turned tail8〕and ran faster than any of our missiles flew off her roof．I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter．However, a few days later, when Iwas sure that I hadn't been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune．She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper,but I was no longer able to act comfortable in her presence．I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeksI had the seven dollars that I calculated would cover the cost of her window．I putthe money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking herwindow and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it．I waited until it was dark, snuck up to the old lady's house, and put the letterI didn't sign through the letter slot in her door．My soul felt redeemed and I couldhave the freedom of, once again, looking straight into the old lady's kind eyes．The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warmsmile that I was receiving from her．She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bagof cookies she had made herself．I thanked her and proceeded to eat the cookies asI continued my route．After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag．WhenI opened the envelope, I was stunned．Inside were the seven dollars and a short notethat said, "I'm proud of you．"81.

河北省衡水市枣强县衡水董子高级中学2023-2024学年高三下学期3月月考英语试题
河北省衡水市枣强县衡水董子高级中学2023-2024学年高三下学期3月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解There are very few countries in the world that don’t have some sort of legend (传说) or connect ion with dragons. Here are some great destinations to get a fi x on dragon.FranceCalais in France has a dragon standing 33 feet tall, 82 feet long, with a wingspan of more than 55 feet. It walks and moves as you would imagine a dragon does, and you can take it for a ride. The Calais dragon is a mechanical wonder, which is nearly too real to be called a fairground creature.WalesIn the UK, you will find a proud dragon country, Wales. Here there is the legend of two dragons: one white and one red. Wales’ tale describes the two dragons fighting and the red one winning, so you will find it difficult to hurry about the country without coming across a red dragon. Dragons are sold in souvenir shops, sit by ancient castles, hang around in King Arthur’s Labyrinth, and are featured on the national flag.NorwayThe Vikings knew a thing or two about dragons. In the lovely film How to Train Your Dragon, they even flew them. But seriously, when you dig into Norway’s Viking history and legends, you will find dragons mentioned everywhere, though not as cute as those in the film. From the figurehead in the Viking Ship Museum to jewelry, and decorations on buildings, be on the lookout for them when visiting Norway.BhutanThe Druk or Thunder Dragon, is the national symbol and appears everywhere. The country is called Land of the Thunder Dragon, or Kingdom of Druk, and it’s part of the national anthem (国歌) and its flag. Despite its fearful name, it’s actually rather cute. The legend has it that the sound of thunder through the mountain s is actually the dragon roaring. 1．What can we learn about the Calais dragon?A．It’s a character from a popular film.B．It’s a creation designed for entertainment.C．It’s a real creature trained for rides.D．It’s a sculpture displayed in a museum.2．What do Wales and Bhutan have in common on dragons?A．They feature dragons on their flags.B．They include dragons in their anthems.C．They have a legend of two dragons.D．They describe dragons as cute images. 3．Which country associates dragons with a natural phenomenon?A．France.B．Wales.C．Norway.D．Bhutan.We can create learning moments that students remember forever if we open up our classrooms to awe and wonder.Toward the end of my high school year, our Spanish teacher organized a trip to see an Andean band perform in Philadelphia. My classmates and I egged one another on ironically (讽刺地): Who could enjoy the show? The performers’ clothing seemed odd. The instruments, strange. But then the performers kicked in, dancing to their bombo and wancara drums around the stage and the panpipes and quena announced a kind of sound—new to us.We had spent too little time discussing the culture of the Inca in social studies but its traditions came alive for us that evening. Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music, my teenage cynicism disappeared. I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy.I have spent the last seven years living and working in South America. But my thirst for cultural exploration and a desire to understand the world outside my language and country has been alive longer than that. Sometimes I think that night dancing to those ancient rhythms unlocked this fascination. Why do I remember it so clearly decades later?In his recent book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, psychology professor Dacher Keltner explains that “brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do.” Besides being a memorable emotion, awe boosts curiosity, builds humility, helps with critical thinking, and makes people feel more connected. It even makes us happier. “Twenty years into teaching happiness,” Keltner writes about how to find deep happiness, “I have an answer: FIND AWE.”Moving forward, let’s do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum (课程). So when our former students approach us on the subway years later, they will recall the magical moments from their days spent in our classes.4．How did the students initially react to the Andean band’s performance?A．They showed respect for it.B．They approached it with doubt.C．They left in disappointment.D．They felt joyful to appreciate it. 5．What does the underlined word “cynicism” in paragraph 3 refer to?A．A deep understanding of music.B．A strong enthusiasm for exploration.C．A negative attitude to the world.D．A sense of connection with society. 6．What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A．The importance of finding happiness in life.B．The lasting impact of a memorable experience.C．The benefits of understanding different cultures.D．The positive role of awe in improving one’s life.7．Who is the text intended for?A．Teachers.B．High school graduates.C．Parents.D．Psychology researchers.Concrete has served as the foundation stone of the construction industry for hundreds of years. However, the process of producing concrete is one of the most environmentally unfriendly processes in the world. In the process, not only is carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) released into the air by the energy used to heat the limestone, but the limestone itself also gives out a huge amount of the element.Luckily, a number of start-ups throughout the world are using creative thinking to make the construction industry a whole lot more friendly for the planet.A Canadian company called CarbonCure, has found a way to inject (注入) concrete with carbon dioxide itself. Not only does this trap the carbon dioxide into the concrete, keeping it from running away into the atmosphere, but it also creates a super strong material called calcium carbonate, which reduces the total amount of concrete that needs to be used.California-based Brimstone, is creating carbon-negative concrete by doing away with limestone entirely and instead using silicate rock, a material that does not release carbon dioxide when heated. Instead, the process produces magnesium (镁) , which absorbs carbon dioxide, as the basis for their concrete.Additionally, researchers at Australia’s RMIT University have recently released a study showing that adding coffee grounds instead of sand to concrete could make it much stronger, reducing both the amount of sand used, as well as the amount of concrete that would need to be used in the final product.The biggest barrier at this point is convincing members of the industry that the new types of concrete are safe to be used, according to Stacy Smedley, director at a nonprofit focused on decarbonizing construction.Hopefully these new solutions to the environmental problems of concrete will soon be widely adopted.

They asked the participants to type out or hand write with a digital pen words that appeared on a computer screen. Sensors in a cap recorded electrical brain activity. Then the psychologists looked for when two brain areas are active with the same frequency of electrical waves at the same time.This result can reveal the connectivity among different regions across the brain.With handwriting, the researchers saw increased activity, specifically in low frequency bands, not only in the expected motor areas but also in others associated with learning. These low frequency bands have previously been shown to support memory processes. When the team compared the two tasks, they realized that handwriting —but not typing —increased the connectivity across parietal (顶叶) brain regions, which are involved in sensory and motor processing, and central regions, many of which are involved in memory.“Even when the movements are very similar, the activation seems much, much higher in handwriting,” Audrey says. “It shows that there’s more involvement of these brain regions when you’re handwriting, which might give you some specific advantages.”These findings suggest that there are distinct processes of brain activation happening while a person types or writes. This boost of stimulation of handwriting facilitates learning because these particular waves between these areas are involved in memory formation and encoding (编码) .And although handwriting may help with learning processes, typing is often easier, faster and more practical. “Students and teachers alike should therefore consider the task at hand to decide to hand write or type,” Audrey says. Despite the need for more studies to determine the best learning strategy, experts say that handwriting shouldn’t be left behind in the digital age. “Schools need to bring in more writing into curriculum design,” Ruud says.12．What did Audrey and Ruud mainly do in their research?A．They tested the function of electrodes.B．They analyzed the brain structure.C．They monitored the brain activities.D．They recorded the writing speed. 13．Why can handwriting improve learning more than typing?A．It involves more specific brain activation.B．It promotes better muscle memory.C．It allows for more innovative thinking.D．It encourages better concentration. 14．What’s the author’s attitude toward typing?A．Favorable.B．Objective.C．Doubtful.D．Unclear. 15．What might be the best title for the text?A．Taking Notes by Hand is Becoming Uncommon in ClassB．Using Keyboard is Recommended Due to Its ConvenienceC．Widespread Brain Connectivity is Crucial to Human LearningD．Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More Than Typing DoesWhile technology addicts teens to their devices, they are not helpless against the draw of it. Here are five ways educators can support their students’ digital well-being.Explore design tricks companies use. The technology we use daily is designed to catch and hold our attention. Companies know what keeps our eyes on the screen. To help, teachers can unpack design tricks and explain how companies employ features like auto-play to get users to stay on their apps. 16Talk about how technology can increase feelings of anxiety. The decline in youth mental health is associated with an increase in social media use. 17 We can help our students by allowing them to consider the benefits of technology and then to think about changing the habits that aren’t serving their well-being.18 Social media can bring the feeling: “All my friends have better lives than me.” Plus, design features like “read receipts” can lead to teens knowing their messages have been seen and stressing about why friends haven’t yet replied. These are classic examples of thinking traps. Identifying them can help teens get rid of some negative thoughts.Uncover the ways that AI can play a role in misinformation. AI is rapidly transforming the world. Recommendation algorithms (算法), which determine what we do and do not see on our feeds and in our search results, can have very real consequences. 19 By understanding how these technologies work, students can start to enjoy more benefits of technology.Encourage families to have meaningful conversations with their child. Take the time to share with families the topics and resources you’re teaching in class. 20 Knowing we’re all in the same boat is crucial.A．Social media is ruining our life.B．Connect them with their inner world.C．Build their awareness of thinking traps.D．This by no means indicates all technology is bad.E．They can pull us toward increasingly extreme views.F．It turns out adults and kids all pursue digital well-being.G．Knowing these can motivate students to get back their attention.二、完形填空This wasn’t the way I wanted to see Rome.

湖南省湖南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第三次月考英语试题
湖南省湖南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第三次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Cannes(戛纳)is a place that offers lots of different ways to spoil yourself. During the Cannes Film Festival in May, nothing changes, except that there are more people doing this, and that they talk about film. Here’s a guide to what you should do during the festival, both film-related and not.Hotel Intercontinental CarltonThe film festival is a busy time for Cannes. The best way to appreciate the crowds might be having a dinner on a terrace(露天平台). Head to the Hotel Intercontinental Carlton and wander the lobby to take it all in. If you’re lucky you might be able to secure a table in the restaurant. Dress to impress or you won’t stand a chance of getting in.Cinema de la PlageThroughout the Cannes Film Festival, one of the best places to soak up some of the wonderful atmosphere is the open-air Cinema de la Plage at Mace beach. If you haven’t secured a ticket in advance for a seat, there’s no need to worry. You can spread a blanket out on the ground, open up your pre-prepared picnic, and enjoy the movie.Marché ForvilleThe Marché Forville is a must-see for any visitor to Cannes and a foodie’．s delight. On most days, vendors sell home-made fruits and vegetables as well as local specialties to eat for lunch. But don’t go on Mondays, unless you want to browse for bargains, as that’s when the flea market is on instead.La CroisetteLa Croisette is the most famous walk in Cannes and is listed under the cultural inventory of France itself. Stroll the whole length, stop for a coffee, and end your walk by sitting on one of the free blue chairs along the way while taking in the view. It is also a great place to admire Cannes’ sculptures.1．What is probably the intention of the text?A．To introduce French culture.B．To present dining locations.C．To publicize a film festival.D．To suggest tourism activities.2．Which place best suits people who enjoy shopping?A．Hotel Intercontinental Carlton.B．Cinema de la Plage.C．Marché Forville.D．La Croisette.3．What can be expected in Cannes during the festival?A．Attending fashion shows.B．Watching movies outdoors.C．Tasting imported farm produce.D．Experiencing sculpture production.Coming into the freshman year at Paul College, Sansa was concerned about her ability as an individual to make an impact on such a large community, for it was never hard for her to stand out from peers in high school. Luckily, each first-year student in Paul College takes part in what is called the First-year Innovation and Research Experience, commonly referred to as the FIRE Program, an extracurricular project assigned by the institution. She was able to forge invaluable connections with her fellow students and their peer advisor who had so much first-hand experience with what they all were going through.The biggest highlight of her freshman year was working alongside her FIRE team on a Grand Challenge Project, in which every FIRE team competed against one another in the Undergraduate Research Conference. Each team had to create a unique product that tackled one of the five following real-world problems: “Water is Life”, “Food”, “Threats from Cyberspace”, “Medical Breakthroughs”, and “Addictive Society”. Her team addressed the growing issue of “Addictive Society”. Doing research, collecting facts and organizing discussions or even debates were a huge amount of work before they went to vie with other teams.After weeks of tireless preparation, their collective efforts bore fruit at the Undergraduate Research Conference. They earned a spot in the final round of the conference, where they competed against the top team from each of the other Grand Challenge groups. They were so overcome with pride when they were finally announced as the overall first-place team at the college!If it hadn’t been for her group’s determination, excellent teamwork and their awesome peer advisor Hayley, they would not have been able to accomplish everything they did. This experience would be instrumental in her future.4．What do we know about Sansa from paragraph 1?A．She performed quite well in high school.B．She was much more experienced than her college schoolmates.C．She applied for the FIRE Program.D．She had trouble with her freshman year.5．How did each team compete against one another?A．By providing facts.B．By creating products.C．By organizing debates.D．By challenging each other.6．What does the underlined phrase “vie with” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Contest against.B．Give way to.C．Break up with.D．Make up with.7．What is probably Sansa’s biggest gain from the FIRE Program?A．Financial benefits.B．Academic reputation.C．Good relationships.D．Competitive opponents.When Jason Allen submitted his “Th éâtre D’．opéra Spatial” into the Colorado StateFair’s fine arts competition, the print was an immediate hit, defeating 20 other artists in the “digitally manipulated photography” category to win the first-place blue ribbon and a $ 300 prize.Allen’s piece offers a clear example of how rapidly AI-generated art has advanced. Trained on billions of internet images, the systems have decisively pushed the boundaries of what computers can create.But it has also sparked a massive debate over the meaning of art, with Allen facing accusations that he had been deceiving with something he asked a machine to create.Text-to-image tools like DALL-E 2 and Midjourney have quickly increased in sophistication and have become one of the hottest topics in AI. They can generate not just fake people, objects and locations but mimic entire visual styles.But AI-generated art has been criticized as automated plagiarism (剽窃), because it relies on millions of ingested art pieces that are then parroted (机械地重复) together. It has also fueled deeper fears: blurring the boundaries of reality or interfering with human art.Allen said his art piece shows people need to “get past their denial and fear” of a technology that could give rise to new inventions and reshape our world. “The AI,” he said,“is a tool, just like the paintbrush is a tool. Without the person, there is no creative force.”Jessica Hair, a 25-year-old receptionist at a doctor’s office who won third place in the competition, said she did not feel as if Allen had acted unfairly and had no hard feelings about his win.Hair said her “Judge, Jury, Executioner”, which depicts a tuxedoed skeleton on a golden throne surrounded by skulls, took 15 hours to create with a stylus (触屏笔) on an iPad Pro. But Allen’s piece took time, effort and subjective judgment, too, and “how do we qualify what is and isn’t art?” she said.8．Which of the following statements can be inferred from the text?A．It is the first time in history that an AI-generated work has won an arts competition.B．Advances made in computer art are not as rapid as the public believes them to be.C．Computer-produced works have more success in some art forms than in others.D．People’s acceptance of computer-produced art pieces can vary considerably. 9．According to the text, why is AI-generated art facing severe criticism?A．Because it will ultimately overtake human art in the future.B．Because it will lead to a sharp decrease in human creativity.C．Because it purely uses existing art pieces as its subject matter.D．Because the technical standard of its output is extremely low.10．What was Allen’s reaction to people’s criticism?A．He fought back like a soldier.B．He kept silent like a victim.C．He persuaded like a promoter.D．He lost heart like a failure.11．What is Jessica Hair’s attitude towards Allen’s award-winning piece?A．Supportive.B．Critical.C．Cautious.D．Skeptical.The streets, sidewalks and roofs of cities all absorb heat during the day, making some urban areas across the United States up to 6 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than rural ones during the day—and 22 degrees F hotter at night. These “urban heat islands”can also develop underground as the city heat spreads downward, beneath the surface. And basements, subway tunnels and other underground infrastructure also constantly bleed heat into the surrounding earth, creating hotspots. Now the underground heat is building up as the planet warms.According to a new study of downtown Chicago, underground hotspots may threaten the very same structures that emit the heat in the first place. Such temperature changes make the ground around them expand and contract (收缩) enough to cause potential damage. “Without anyone realizing it, the city of Chicago’s downtown was deforming,” says the study’s author Alessandro F. Rotta Loria, a civil and environmental engineer at Northwestern University.The findings, published in Communications Engineering, expose a “silent hazard (危险)” to civil infrastructure in cities with soft er ground — especially those near water — Rotta Loria says. “There might have been structural issues caused by this underground climate change that happened, and we didn’t even realize,” he adds. While not an immediate or direct danger to human lives, this previously unknown effect highlights the impacts of a lesser-known component of climate change.Similar to climate change above the surface, these underground changes occur over long periods of time. “These effects took decades, a century, to develop,” Rotta Loria says, adding that elevated underground temperatures would likewise take a long time to dissipate (逐渐消失) on their own.But other researchers interviewed for this story all say this wasted energy could also be recycled, presenting an opportunity to both cool the subsurface and save on energy costs. Subway tunnels and basements could be updated with technologies to recapture the heat. For example, water pipes could be installed to run through underground hotspots and pick up some of the heat energy.12．What can we learn about the “urban heat islands”?A．They can develop underground structures.B．They are impacted by global warming.C．They can destroy the ground around.D．They only exist in the United States.13．Why does Alessandro F. Rotta Loria mention “silent hazard” in paragraph 3?A．To discuss structural issues.B．To categorize climate change.C．To explain underground heat.D．To emphasize the neglected reality.14．What will the author probably write about in the paragraph that follows?A．The future of tunnels and basements.B．The reusing approaches of heat energy.C．The cost of maintaining structures.D．The evolution of underground environment.15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Warming Underground, Weakening SurfaceB．A Silver Lining of Global WarmingC．Urban Silent Islands in the MakingD．A Silent Crisis in Downtown Chicago二、七选五Including children in the farming lifestyle has many benefits. Sure, it is nice to have the additional help with chores, but it also fosters so much growth, sending our kids down a good path towards who they will someday become. It is possible that our children will grow up to lead lives that do not include farming. 16Through caring for farm animals, kids learn that in life others often come before self.17 It doesn’t matter if we don’t feel like it or if we are sick and tired. What matters is that we take care of the animals that take care of us and do so in a timely manner.18 If the work on a farm does not get done, the operation fails. It takes discipline and commitment to get down to business every day, and seeing this in action will give kids a good work attitude. They will know and understand that nothing good comes easy and that they have to work to survive. 19 Functioning as part of a productive team will surely be playing a crucial role sooner or later in all walks of life.Additionally, farming teaches patience. 20 It’s especially true for the animals. Cattle will be difficult to control. Horses will run away when you try to catch them. Goats will kick over that bucket of hard-earned milk. A rooster will decide you got too close to his hens and give you a run for your money. In spite of all that, kids will learn to be patient and take things easy.There may not be any instant reward, but in the long-term kids will see the benefit of all their efforts during those hard days.A．Fairly often, things do not go your way.B．Kids also learn to be grateful to animals.C．In the meantime, they learn to work with others.D．Teamwork is no longer a significant skill to develop and use.E．Animals need to be fed and cared for before we get to sit down and relax.F．Kids are also able to comprehend the value of hard work through farm life.G．What they learn on a farm, however, can be instrumental in their future lives.三、完形填空27．A．could B．should C．would D．might 28．A．also B．again C．only D．instead 29．A．responded B．claimed C．updated D．expressed 30．A．odd B．general C．novel D．complicated 31．A．closed B．black C．plain D．blank 32．A．lesson B．blame C．curse D．ban 33．A．open B．click C．use D．function 34．A．refreshing B．crashing C．connecting D．running 35．A．advocate B．tolerate C．appreciate D．understand四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually ____25____ (make) them soextraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique about this shoe is ____26___ it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska.

Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure ____29____ the cold weather.The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year.

Whoever dropped the shoe must____31____ (be) a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made____32____ to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.(B)Facial piercings（刺穿）and tattoos may (33)________ (become) more common ---- but that doesn’t mean they are any more accepted in the workplace, according to a new study.

Each word can onlyJob seekers should know the rules of labor market before they try to find a proper job. Most career organizations 41 three stages for graduates to follow the process of securing a suitable career: recognizing abilities, matching these to available jobs and presenting them well to possible employers.Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their abilities. One area of assessment should be of their 42 qualifications, which include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own values and attitudes. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful 43 .The second stage is to study the opportunities which are 44 for employment. To do this, graduates can study job and position information in newspapers, or they can pay a visit to a careers office, write to friends or relatives who may already be 45 in a particular profession. After studying all the various 46 , they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Good personal 47 is essential in the search for a good career.

When 48 information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, as well as 49 their own abilities with the employer’s needs, explain why they are interested in a career with the 50 company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activities. Interviewees should try to give positive answers and not be afraid of asking questions about anything they are unsure about.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The standard research report, regardless of the field or the intended reader, contains four major sections:Problem Section. The first section is the statement of the problem with which the research project is____51__. There should be an explanation of the ___52__-- social, economic, medical, psychological, educational, etc. -- of the question;___53___, why the investigation was worth conducting. Thus, we must explain that the question is thought to have significant relevance to certain problems and might ___54__ some sort of regulations on them. As a part, a review of past researches is recommended, which consists of summaries of the __55____of previous researchers with some assessment of the value to your recent research.Procedures Section. This section___56___ , with as much data as possible, exactly how the study was carried out. It usually includes description of any necessary equipment, how the subjects were selected, how many ___57___were made and when, what statistical technique was used to ____58___ the findings, etc. The goal of this section is to allow the reader to redo the experiment if such were desired to ___59___your findings.___60___ Section. The third section, perhaps the most important, is the presentation of what is obtained from the investigation. The basic rule in this section is to give all the data relative to theresearch question __61___ asked. If the experiments undertaken fail to prove anything, or if the data was inadequate or ___62____expectations, the report should be honestly written and as complete as possible, just as it would be if the hypothesis(假设) were totally proven by the research.Discussion Section. The final required section of a research report is a discussion of the results obtained and a statement of any conclusions drawn from them.

A. flexible B. applicable C. predicable D. recognizable65. A. unanswered B. unprocessed C. discussed D. investigatedSection BDirections: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by some 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)Now, let’s talk about earthquakes on our planet. Some countries have large numbers of earthquakes. Japan is one of them. Others do not have many. For example, there are few earthquakes in Britain. There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates (震动) . Houses fall down. Trains run off the lines. Sometimes, there is a heavy loss of human lives.Earthquakes often happen near volcanoes, but this is not always true. The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves, also known as seismic waves (地震波) , or tsunamis (海啸) can travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings. Very often fires follow the most serious earthquakes. In 1906, the numbers of fires were burning in the city. The water pipes were also shaken and broken, so it was not possible to put the fire out. There was no water. The Tokyo Earthquake of 1923 happened just before noon. People were cooking mealson their fires at that time. When the ground shook, the fires shook, too. Hot materials were thrown on the different parts of the houses, some of which were made of wood. Soon 134 fires were burning in the city.What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame will make it even stronger. The frame holds the different parts together and the walls so not easily fall. There is less chance of fire because concrete and steel do not burn. Over the years, scientists carefully studied the results of the earthquake in different parts of the world, and they are convinced that this kind of building is the safest.66. What can we know about earthquake from the first paragraph?A.Britain has large numbers of earthquake.B.There is often a great noise during an earthquake.C.There is a heavy loss of human lives in every earthquake.D.Trains will not run off the lines during the earthquake.67. Some of the undersea earthquakes were caused by ______ .A. the breakout of the volcanoB. the seismic waves.C. the tsunamiD. the powerful forces inside the earth68. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. A building with concrete walls and a steel frame stands up best in an earthquake.B.There is no chance of fire in a building with concrete walls.C.Scientist studied the causes of the earthquake to get the conclusion.D. A steel frame has no help in making the house stronger.69.

These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, say Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “ And the y just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home a ddress in. So again, the GPS is kind of ‘garbage in garbage out’.”Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has something to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One p roblem with a lot of the GPS units is that they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it is going to the wrong place.”Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego.While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on Driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.74. In para. 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to ______.A. laugh at his stupid friendB. describe an example of human errorC. build up his own reputationD. prove the GPS system is only garbage75. Which of the following statement would Barry Brown be most likely to agree with?A. GPS units are to blame for the most GPS service failure.B. We should introduce higher standard for the driving licenseC. Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.D. Some shortcomings of GPS equipment are more likely to result in service failure.76. According to Barry and Eric, which of the following is NOT among the areas of GPS systemsthat may confuse drivers?A. Wrong mapsB. Out-dated mapsC. Difficult instructionsD. Timing of GPS commands.77. What would be the best title for the text?A. Driving with GPS Can Be DifficultB. Driving Confusions Can Be Caused By Small ScreenC. Driving without GPS Should Be Much More ConvenientD. GPS Equipment In Driving: To Be Deserted Or ImprovedSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When the Internet powerhouse Yahoo wanted to teach ethics to its employees, it faced a challenge familiar to multinational companies.Yahoo employs nearly 14,000 people at 25 sites worldwide. They would feel bored at sitting down in front of a dated video in which actors with 1980s haircuts tell them what to do. So it hired a company called The Network to design a game. In the game, the truck where Yahoo was founded traveled the world, turning into a boat and a helicopter along the way as it visited some of Yahoo's foreign offices. Participants play in game show-like scenarios that quiz them about conflicts of interest and doing business fairly. And employees note: Yahoo is tracking how well they do.Such activities draw more enthusiastic participation and teach more effectively than traditional methods. They are described as alternative-reality games (ARGs), involving both interactive and real-world elements. Besides teaching employees, ARGs have also been used inmany areas for a number of different purposes.From a marketing perspective, a number of very successful ARGs have been written as a way to build product awareness. A very popular ARG called I Love Bees was produced to market the 2004 video game Halo 2. At its height, I Love Bees received between two to three million unique visitors over the course of three months.ARGs are more than just a fun way to learn. They have also been used to solve real world problems. An ARG called World Without Oil was created to obtain collective input from players about dealing with the world's dependency on oil. World without Oil simulates the first 32 days of a global oil crisis and anybody could play by creating a personal story that recorded the imagined reality of their life in the crisis. World Without Oil's success on a small budget has opened the door for similar games to engage mainstream Internet users with climate change, education reform, governmental policy and other timely, vital issues.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What challenge did yahoo face in teaching ethics to its employees?___________________________________________________________79. In the game designed for yahoo, participants had to answer questions about ________.80. What are the three major functions of ARG mentioned in the passage?__________________________________________________________81. The success of World Without Oil suggests that ARGs can ________.第II卷（共47分）1、平衡的饮食是保持健康的关键。

However, he submitted a dental x-ray of his neighbor Mike’s teeth by mistake, resulting in a design that’s more frightening than festive.Since sharing the photo with his followers on December 14th, the mix-up has received over 121,000 likes and more than 9,000 retweets.Dan White ordered 90 Christmas cards using the Shutterfly app. He mixed up his family photo with one of his neighbors. Originally, White planned to use a cute family photograph for his Christmas cards this year. The photo featured his wife and daughter dressed as Minions for Halloween, while he’d gone as Professor X from X-Men; The Last Stand (2006). He used the Shutterfly app to create his design, but somehow mixed up the family photo with one of his neighbor Mike’s teeth.He posted the result to Twitter, along with the caption: “Selected the wrong photo from my camera roll so now I have 90 of these.”The dental X-ray actually belonged to White’s neighbor Mike, who has “great teeth”. But why did White have an X-ray of Mike’s teeth on his phone to begin with? He said that Mike has such great teeth that he asked for a picture to show his own dentist, “Mike got Invisalign a few years back so he had a few of these X-rays taken,” he told Newsweek.When asked what Mike thinks of his teeth’s newfound internet fame, White said he’s a “little embarrassed”. “But he said he’s also flattered so many people have enjoyed his mouth,” he added.Will White still be sending the cards out? Unfortunately, the answer is no. “It’s a funny mix-up,” he said. “But ultimately it’s Mike’s mouth so it’s not my place to mail them.”Twitter users found the photo fail hilarious, with Definitely Danny calling the accidental card design “amazing”.“Phenomenal,” agreed Rob Sheridan.“Genuinely, this would make Christmas for me,” commented Sarah Phelps.“With a smile like that, you gotta show it off,” said Edmond Lorts.“Maybe you could paint them green so they look like Christmas trees?” suggested Arne Parrott.While Caissie wrote: “If I received such a card, I would treasure it.”4．What did Daniel White post online?A．A self-made Christmas card.B．An app designed by himself.C．A special gift from his friend.D．A family picture from Halloween. 5．Why did White have an X-ray of Mike’s teeth?A．It was taken by him,B．He asked Mike for it.C．His dentist gave it to him.D．It was a surprise from Mike.6．Who would Daniel’s personalized cards be sent to?A．Mike.B．His family,C．His 90 friends.D．Nobody. 7．What does the underlined word “hilarious” mean?A．Frightening.B．Ugly.C．Confusing.D．Funny.About 50 cars derailed (脱轨) in East Palestine, Ohio at about 9 p. m. EST Friday as a train was carrying a variety of products from Madison, Illinois, to Conway, Pennsylvania, rail operator Norfolk Southern said Saturday. There was no immediate information about what caused the derailment, No injuries or damage to structures were reported.“The post-derailment fire spanned about the length of the derailed train cars,” Michael Graham, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board, told reporters Saturday evening. “The fire has since reduced in intensity, but remains active and the two main tracks are still blocked.”Norfolk Southern said 20 of the more than 100 cars were classified as carrying dangerous materials “including flammables, combustibles, or environmental risks.” Graham said 14 cars carrying vinyl chloride (氯乙烯) were involved in the derailment “and have been exposed to fire,” and at least one “is releasing the contents of the car through a pressure release device as designed.”“At this time we are working to confirm which dangerous materials cars, if any, have been breached,” he said. The Environmental Protection Agency and Norfolk Southern were continuing to monitor air quality, and investigators would begin their on-scene work “once the scene is safe and secure,” he said.Vinyl chloride, used to make the polyvinyl chloride hard plastic resin used in a variety of plastic products, is associated with increased risk of liver cancer and other cancers, according to the federal government’s National Cancer Institute. Federal officials said they were also concerned about other possibly dangerous materials.Fire Chief Keith Drabick said officials were most concerned about the vinyl chloride and referenced one car containing that chemical but said safety features on that car were still functioning. Emergency crews would keep their distance until Norfolk Southern officials told them it was safe to approach, Drabick said. Firefighters were pulled from the immediate area and unmanned streams were used to protect some areas including businesses that might also have contained materials of concern, officials said.8．What do we know about the derailment from the first two paragraphs?A．It was caused by a severe fire.B．It led to a cut-off on the railway.C．Passengers were trapped in the train.D．Relevant details were releasedimmediately.9．What does the underlined word “breached” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Broken.B．Rescued.C．Repaired.D．Removed. 10．What message does paragraph 5 intend to convey about vinyl chloride?A．It should be used with caution.B．It has disadvantages as well asadvantages.C．It is important for the plastic industry.D．It can greatly harm people’s health. 11．What measures are taken at the moment?A．Guarding the cars.B．Calling in firefighters.C．Checking air quality.D．Investigating the scene.Cancer-fighting genes in elephants could help to tackle one of the biggest killers of people, according to research. Despite their large bodies and long lifespans (寿命), elephants are much less likely to die from cancer than humans, with death rates of less than 5 per cent.The paradox has puzzled scientists because more cells leads to greater replications, which increases the possibility of the body failing to detect damaged DNA or a faulty cell that can result in tumours (肿瘤). Elephants live for almost as long as humans, and can weigh up to five tons.However, a group of British and European scientists say they have taken a big steptowards solving Peto’s paradox, named after the British epidemiologist Sir Richard Peto. Elephants, they say, carry a much larger, more diverse group of tumour-fighting proteins.The findings, published last week in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution, raise hopes that the cancer-fighting genes in elephants could be the key to tackling cancer, which kills about 167,000 Britons each year. Cells keep dividing throughout an organism’s life, each carrying the risk of producing a tumour. One of the body’s weapons is a gene called p53, known as the “guardian of the genome”, which hunts cells with faulty DNA．It encourages the cell to repair itself or self-destruct, keeping the cell from binding with others and producing tumours.Humans have two versions of p53 but elephants have 40, said the researchers, including those from Oxford and Edinburgh universities. Biochemical analysis and computer simulations also showed that an elephant’s p53 genes are structurally slightly different, providing a much larger anti-cancer toolkit. The researchers suspect that while faulty cells might be able to skirt two p53 versions, they cannot bind to other cells as easily in the face of dozens.The findings will open the way for research on how p53 genes are activated and on medical treatment for humans.12．What has puzzled scientists?A．Few elephants end up dying from cancer.B．Elephants live long and weighenormously.C．More cells lead to higher chances of tumours.D．A larger body is less likely todiscover faulty cells.13．What can be learnt from paragraph 4?A．How many Britons die each year.B．How the anti-cancer gene works.C．How the research was carried out.D．What have the findings been applied to. 14．Which quality of elephants’ p53 genes contributes to preventing tumours?A．Their sizes.B．Their lifespans.C．Their appearances.D．Their varieties. 15．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．Scientists Find Anti-cancer Genes in ElephantsB．P53 Genes Play Essential Role in Fighting CancerC．Elephant Genes Could Be Key to Preventing CancerD．Groundbreaking Medical Treatment for Cancer on the Way二、七选五As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, “Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it every day and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the lastisn’t a quick fix. It involves a process and a great commitment.Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were transfixed as we saw the first man walk on the moon and return to Earth. Words such as “fantastic” and “incredible” were inadequate to describe those eventful days. But to get there, those astronauts literally had to break out of the enormous gravity pull of the earth. 17Habits, too, have enormous gravity pull-more than most people realize or would admit. Breaking deeply rooted habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience, criticalness, or selfishness that violate basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives. 18 But once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new dimension.19 The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. 20 And we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cohesiveness (凝聚力) and order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.A．I know they can be broken.B．“Lift-off” takes an enormous effort.C．Excellence is not an act, but a habit.D．It is a powerful force if used effectively.E．Habits are powerful factors in our lives.F．Their energy was mostly spent in the first few minutes of lift-off.G．Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us.三、完形填空I’d been working with local authorities to release enslaved children from a carpet factory.conditions.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.OpenAI publishes Elon Musk’s emails. ‘We’re sad that it’s come to this’OpenAI fired back at Elon Musk, who sued the ChatGPT company last week for chasing profit and 1 (diverge) from its original, nonprofit mission. Tuesday night, OpenAI published several of Musk’s emails from the early days of the company that appear to show Musk acknowledging OpenAI needed to make a ton of money to fund the incredible computing resources needed to power 2 AI ambitions.In the emails, parts of 3 have been redacted (修订), Musk argues that the company stood virtually no chance of building a successful generative AI platform by raising cash alone, and the company needed to find alternate sources of revenue to survive.In a November 22, 2015, email to CEO Sam Altman, Musk, an OpenAI co-founder, said the company needed to raise much more than $100 million to “avoid sounding hopeless.” Musk suggested a $1 billion funding commitment and promised that he would cover 4 did not get raised.OpenAI in a blog post Tuesday night said Musk never followed through on his promise, 5 (commit) $45 million in funding for OpenAI, 6 other donors raised $90 million. Lawyers for Musk declined to comment on OpenAI’s claims.Musk, in a February 1, 2018, email, told company executives that the only path forward for OpenAI was for Tesla, his electric car company, to buy it. The company refused, and Musk left OpenAI later that year.In December 2018, Musk emailed Altman and other executives that OpenAI would not be relevant “ 7 a dramatic change in execution and resources.”“This needs billions per year immediately or forget it,” Musk emailed. “I really hope I’m wrong.”OpenAI executives agreed. In 2019, they formed OpenAI LP, a for-profit entity that exists within the larger company’s structure. That for-profit company took OpenAI from effectively worthless to a valuation of $90 billion in just a few years — and Altman 8 (credit) as the mastermind of that plan and the key to the company’s success.Microsoft has since committed $13 billion in a close partnership with OpenAI.Musk’s complaint, 9 (file) last week in California state court, said that company and its partnership with Microsoft violated OpenAI’s founding charter, representing a breach of contract. Musk is asking for a jury trial and for the company 10 (pay) back the profit they received from the business.二、选词填空Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A man deliberately got 217 Covid shots. Here’s what happenedOne German man has redefined “man on a mission.” A 62-year-old from Magdeburg deliberately got 217 Covid-19 vaccine shots in the 11 of 29 months, according to a new study, going against national vaccine recommendations. That’s an average of one jab every four days. In the process, he became a(n) 12 experiment for what happens to the immune system when it is vaccinated against the same pathogen (病原体) repeatedly. A correspondence published Monday in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases 13 his case and concluded that while his “hypervaccination” did not result in any adverse health effects, it also did not significantly improve or worsen his immune response.The man, who is not named in the correspondence in compliance with German privacy rules, reported receiving 217 Covid shots between June 2021 and November 2023. Of those, 134 were 14 by a prosecutor and through vaccination center documentation; the remaining 83 were self-reported, according to the study.“This is a really unusual case of someone receiving that many Covid vaccines, 15 not following any type of guidelines,” said Dr. Emily Happy Miller, an assistant professor of medicine and of microbiology and immunology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine who did not participate in the research.The man did not report any vaccine-related side effects and has not had a Covid infection to date, as 16 by repeated antigen (抗原) and PCR testing between May 2022 and November 2023. The researchers 17 that it’s not clear that his Covid status is directly because of his hypervaccination regimen.“Perhaps he didn’t get Covid because he was 18 in the first three doses of the vaccine,” Miller said. “We also don’t know anything about his behaviors.” Dr. Kilian Schober, senior author of the new study and a researcher at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg, said it is important to remember that this is an individual case study, and the results are not 19 .The researchers also say they do not endorse hypervaccination as a strategy to enhance immunity. “The benefit is not much bigger if you get vaccinated three times or 200 times,” Schober said.The public prosecutor in Magdeburg opened an investigation into the man for the unauthorized issuing of vaccination cards and forgery of documents but did not end up filing criminal 20 , according to the study.三、完形填空A Neurologist’s Tips to Protect Your MemoryAs we age, our memory declines. This is a fixed 21 for many of us; however, according to neuroscientist Dr. Richard Restak, a neurologist and clinical professor, decline is not 22 .Ultimately, “we are what we can remember,” he said. Here are some of Dr. Restak’s tips for developing and 23 a healthy memory.Pay more attention.Some memory lapses are actually attention problems, not memory problems. 24 , if you’ve forgotten the name of someone you met at a cocktail party, it could be because you weretalking with several people at the time.One way to pay attention when you learn new information is to 25 the word. Having a picture associated with the word, Restak said, can improve 26 . Find regular everyday memory challenges.There are many memory exercises that you can 27 into everyday life. Dr. Restak suggested composing a grocery list and memorizing it. When you get to the store, don’t 28 pull out your list (or your phone) — instead, pick up everything according to your memory.Once in a while, get in the car without turning on your GPS, and try to 29 through the streets from memory. A small 2020 study suggested that people who used GPS more frequently over time showed a steeper cognitive 30 in spatial memory three years later.Play games.Dr. Restak’s “favorite working memory game” is 20 Questions — in which a group thinks of a person, place or object, and the other person, the questioner, asks 20 questions with a yes-or-no answer. Because to succeed, he said, the questioner must hold all of the 31 answers in memory in order to guess the correct answer.The point is to 32 your working memory, “maintaining information and moving it around in your mind,” Restak wrote.Read more novels.One early indicator of memory issues, according to Dr. Restak, is 33 fiction. “People, when they begin to have memory difficulties, tend to switch to reading nonfiction,” he said. Fiction requires active engagement with the text, starting at the beginning and working through to the end. 34 technology.Storing everything on your phone means that “you don’t know it,” Dr. Restak said, which can 35 our own mental abilities. The second way our relationship with technology is harmful to memory is because it often takes our focus away from the task at hand. 21．A．accomplishment B．assumption C．regulationD．observation22．A．inevitable B．dispensable C．reverse D．doubtful 23．A．striking B．enduring C．arousing D．maintaining 24．A．Nevertheless B．Moreover C．For instance D．Instead 25．A．demonstrate B．trace C．discover D．visualize26．A．recall B．sight C．target D．instinct 27．A．enclose B．integrate C．evolve D．impose 28．A．steadily B．actively C．gradually D．automatically 29．A．adjust B．rush C．gesture D．navigate 30．A．performance B．decline C．awareness D．increase 31．A．modest B．original C．previous D．personal 32．A．engage B．drain C．insert D．fulfill 33．A．devoting to B．concentrating on C．giving in to D．giving up on 34．A．Beware of B．Stick to C．Long for D．Differ from 35．A．counter B．stock C．erode D．strengthen四、阅读理解The last few months had brought to my attention an important incompatibility between us — one that I’d never noticed before. Despite being a pair of lifelong travelers, Felipe and I seldom travel in a similar way. The reality about Felipe is that he’s both the best traveler I’ve ever met and by far the worst. He hates strange bathrooms and dirty restaurants and uncomfortable trains and foreign beds. Given a choice, he will always select a lifestyle of routine, familiarity, and reassuringly boring everyday practices. All of which might make you assume that the man is not fit to be a traveler at all. But you would be wrong to assume that, for here is Felipe’s traveling gift, his superpower, the secret weapon that makes him peerless. He can create a familiar habitat of boring everyday practices for himself anyplace, if you just let him stay in one spot. He can assimilate absolutely anywhere on the planet in about three days, and then he’s capable of staying put in that place for the next decade or so without complaint. This is why Felipe has been able to live all over the world. Not merely travel, but live. Over the year he has folded himself into societies from South America to Europe, from the Middle East to the South Pacific. He arrives somewhere totally new, decides he likes the place, moves right in, learns the language, and instantly becomes a local.While Felipe can find a corner anywhere in the world and settle down for good, I can’t. I am infinitely curious and almost infinitely patient with minor disasters, which makes me a farbetter day-to-day traveler than he will ever be. So I can go anywhere on the planet—that’s not a problem. The problem is I just can’t live anywhere on the planet. I’d realized this only a few weeks earlier, back in northern Laos, when Felipe had woken up one lovely morning in Luang Prabang and said, “Darling, let’s stay here.”“Sure,” I’d said. “We can stay here for a few more days if you want.”“No, I mean let’s move here. Let’s forget about me immigrating to America. It’s too much trouble. This is a wonderful town. I like the feeling of it. It reminds me of Brazil thirty years ago. It wouldn’t take much money or effort for us to run a little hotel or shop here, rent an apartment, settle in ….” He was serious. He would just do that. But I can’t.36．The word “incompatibility” (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to “_____”.A．harmony B．negotiation C．difference D．tension 37．According to the writer, what is Felipe’s traveling gift?A．He can speak dozens of languages.B．He can make himself at home anywhere.C．He can decide at first sight if he likes the place.D．He can find interesting activities in boring places.38．According to the writer, why is she a better traveler than Felipe?A．She is much more restless than he is.B．She can travel for a longer time than he can.C．She is more curious about local life than he is.D．She can live better in poor places than he can.39．By “I can’t” (in the last paragraph), the writer means that she can’t _____.A．remember the trip to Brazil B．move to Luang PrabangC．immigrate to America as planned D．run a little hotel or shop wellOutdoor RecreationGet outdoors with us this summer and experience the excitement and peace within our unique programs.

Come enjoy this natural underground jungle gym.40．John, a U of T teaching staff member, would like to take part in some of these programs, what problem may he encounter?A．He can’t get his fees for a Tuesday trip back if he cancels it the previous Monday.B．These outdoor adventures will exhaust him and leave him in low spirits.C．There may be no space for him because registered students enjoy priority.D．The program that explores the Warsaw Caves underground is sure to change its date.41．All of the following are activities mentioned in the passage ЕХСЕРТ___________.A．bird watching B．zip-lining C．hiking D．cave exploring 42．Which of the following statements is true according to this passage?A．Money can be refunded within five business days after the trip starts.B．Adventurers should have some basic trekking and biking skills.C．Students must bring some climbing equipment required by the programs.D．The name Warsaw Caves originated from the seven caves found in the park.For the arts “to mean more, to more people,” as Arts Council England (ACE) argues that they should, would be excellent. Music, drama, dance, visual arts, poetry and literature are among the most precious human achievements. To live in a country in which these are more widely shared and enjoyed would be proof that we are making progress. The point is not to entertain or educate people, or bring communities together. Nor is it all about boosting jobs and investment. Imagination has intrinsic (内在的) value, and research carried out by ACE in the course of preparing its 10-year strategy showed that people from all walks of life value and get pleasure from cultural activities.Positioning itself as a development agency, ACE will now hope to win government backing for a change of direction that orients it away from the biggest and most prestigious national institutions and towards the towns, villages and grassroots organizations that should be similarly deserving of attention. There, it envisions a role for itself “building the identity and prosperity of places,” bringing professional artists together with voluntary groups, particular in areas that have previously not been well represented on the cultural map.ACE’s chair, Sir Nicholas Serota, quotes the first world war centenary (百年纪念) project devised by the artist, Jeremy Deller, and theatre director, Rufus Norris, as the model of what he wants his organization to be about. By dressing up volunteers as soldiers, and orchestrating their encounters with members of the public in settings across England, the artists succeeded in “dissolving the barriers between artists and audiences.”The emphasis on participation- on culture as something that more people should actually do- is newer. This is the difference between being in a play or a band and buying tickets to watch them, and for ACE to play a more active role in promoting the former would be beneficial. Thisbegins in childhood, and ACE clearly hopes that the government will think again about policies that have seen music, drama and other arts subjects systematically downgraded in favour of science, technology and maths.To what extent the vision is realized will depend in part on whether ACE’s ambitions catch the government’s interest sufficiently to influence the upcoming spending review, and provide a counterweight to the scorn (轻视) that is regularly poured on the humanities. Around £400m has been cut from local government arts budgets since 2010, and ACE cannot plug this gap. The closure of youth clubs and live music venues, and growing financial pressures linked to the property market, are among other reasons for this worrisome narrowing of opportunities. So far Boris Johnson has offered few signs that he has in mind a starring role for the arts in post-Brexit Britain, although 2022’s Festival of Brexit is one such event. ACE’s plan should boost the profile of all those, in government and outside, who are arguing for more.43．The purpose of making arts available to more people is to __________.A．enlighten people from all walks of lifeB．consolidate various communitiesC．create job opportunities for artistsD．maximize the natural value of art44．According to the passage, ACE is most likely to promote the arts of ___________.A．national institutionsB．commercial centersC．local governmentsD．towns and villages45．Which of the following statements would Sir Nicholas Serota most probably agree with?A．Audiences with little education can also gain pleasure from cultural activities.B．Artists and audiences can create and enjoy the arts together without barriers.C．The soldiers and volunteers should vividly show scenes about the First World War.D．Science, technology and maths are more important than humanities and arts nowadays. 46．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．For the arts to get revitalized more extensive efforts are needed.B．The current British government has done enough to promote arts.C．ACE should narrow the financial gap left by the local government.D．Many performing venues have closed due to the rising property market.Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.What Your “Age” Says About YouImagine, for a moment, that you had no birth certificate and your age was simply based on the way you feel inside. How old would you say you are?Like your height or shoe size, the number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact. 47Scientists are increasingly interested in this quality. They are finding that our “subjective age” may be essential for understanding the reasons why some people appear to be energetic as they grow old — while others fade.48 It is now well accepted that people tend to mature as they get older, becoming less extroverted ( 外向的) and less open to new experiences. These personality changes are often considered more obvious in the people with older subjective ages.However, those who feel younger than they really are also become more reliable and less neurotic ( 神经质的) as they gain the wisdom that comes with greater life experience. But it doesn’t come at the cost of the energy and vigor of youth. It’s not true that having a lower subjective age leaves us frozen in a state of permanent immaturity.Feeling younger than your years also seems to come with a lower risk of depression and greater mental wellbeing as we age. 49 Most people felt about eight years younger than their actual chronological age (实际年龄). But some felt they had aged — and the consequences were serious. Feeling between 8 and 13 years older than your actual age resulted in an 18-25% greater risk of death over the study periods, and greater disease burden — even when you control for other demographic ( 人口学的) factors such as education, race or marital status.50 However old you really are, it’s worth questioning whether any of those limitations are coming from the within.A．It also means better physical health.B．One of the most interesting aspects of the research has explored how subjective age interacts with our personality.C．Some studies have explored the potential physical consequences of this difference. D．These findings can give us all a view of the way our own brains and bodies endure the passing of time.E．But everyday experience suggests that people often don’t experience ageing the same way. F．Many researchers are now trying to study how this knowledge might help us live longer.五、书面表达51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.What We Should Know about HoneyThe process that produces honey may have helped form humans too. Scientists believe that wild hives full of honey provided the calories that early humans such as Homo erectus (直立人), walking in Africa , needed to develop their brains into those of modern humans. That puts honey in a class with fire, tool use, and hunting as a key ingredient in the evolution of human beings.With time, those evolved brains learned to domesticate bees to produce honey in a farmed setting. Today’s beekeepers support large-scale industrial farms, which would be unable to grow their crops without hiring traveling groups of bees to come pollinate (授粉) their vast, single-species fields. The bees will endlessly fill the towers of combs put onto their hives by the beekeeper, who then collects the extra honey for human consumption while still leaving the bees all they need to eat.Today, the average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of honey every year, in tea, on toast, and beyond. Honey is a timeless treasure. Literally—it never goes bad. Samples nearly 3,000 years old found in the Egyptian pyramids are as eatable as the day they were entombed. Its anti-microbial nature also makes honey an excellent cure for wounds, keeping infection out while holding in the moisture that skin needs to heal.However, bees’ good health is not guaranteed. U.S. beekeepers lose about 40 percent of their hives annually to colony collapse disorder. The problem lies in the growth of industrialagriculture and pesticide use, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit. If bees continue to die, apples and peaches (along with any crop that relies on their pollination) will become scarcer and pricier. As will honey._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________六、翻译52．在成人仪式上，读了父母的肺腑之言后他情不自禁潸然泪下。

The 42-year-old maths teacher from Fort Worth, Texas, knew it was important to try something new, especially because most of his students were also struggling outside of the classroom. “Single parent homes, parents put in prison, low financial stability-a lot of misfortunes that were going on, ” he said.To reach students in a way that was familiar and inviting, he brought rap music to the classroom. Mayfield played an instrumental beat to a rap song. He got his students excited. Then they started to rap about decimal(十进位)point places. “Let’ s start with the tenths. Like a dime to a dollar, there’s 1 out of 10. Then we move to the hundredths, one part out of many. One out of 100, we call that a penny. . . “ rapped Mayfield and students.Pareece Morehouse, one of Mayfield’s former students, is now in tenth grade and loves old-school rap. Before Mr. Mayfield’s class, Morehouse didn’t like maths and struggled with it. But pairing the difficult subject with music was game-changing for her.“I can recall myself at home doing homework and just singing the song in my head, helping me understand, ” Morehouse said. “It was really a great way to help me make it through maths. ”“Students will produce work if you reach them where they are and take notes on what they’re interested in, whether that’s music, art or sports. It’s important to use things that resonate (共鸣)with them, ” said Mayfield.4．What led Thomas Mayfield to try something new in his teaching?A．His out-of-date teaching routines.B．Urgent requests of students’ parents.C．Disadvantaged conditions of students.D．Students’ devotion to study after school.5．How did Thomas Mayfield teach the kids?A．By explaining the maths principles.B．By asking them to do more exercises.C．By instructing the kids to write music.D．By combining musical notes with maths.6．What does Thomas Mayfield highlight in class?A．Educators must inspire the kids’ interest first.B．Rules should be set for learners in advance.C．Each student should be treated equally.D．Importance must be attached to music.7．What could be the best title for the text?A．Never Too Late to LearnB．The Keys to Teaching MathsC．Hard Work Turns into Heart WorkD．Curious Minds Never Feel ContentedAlarming levels of dangerous chemicals known as Perfluorinated Alkylated Substances (PFAS) were discovered in food packaging at a number of well-known fast-food restaurants and grocery store chains, a new report found. The report comes more than two years into the Covid-19 pandemic, when the public has relied heavily on takeout and grocery deliveries.Often called “forever chemicals” because they do not break down in the environment, PFAS are used in food packaging to prevent grease (油脂) and water from soaking through food wrappers and cups. PFAS can also be found in the ink used to print logos and instructions on food containers.The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls exposure to PFAS a “public health concern”, citing that the human-made chemicals can harm the immune system and reduce a person’s resistance to infectious diseases.Regulatory limits for how much PFAS food packaging should contain can vary greatly.For instance, a new law in California set the limit at less than 100 ppm. “Compared to America, Denmark sets a much lower regulatory limit of 20 ppm with great success,” said Xenia Trier, an expert at the European Environment Agency. “It does work to set limits and enforce them. PFAS do migrate from the paper into the food. Even though it was not 100%, we still saw considerable transmission. In general, transmission from packaging to food is increased as the temperature of the food rises. It is the same with the time spent in wrapping materials.” Trier told NBS, one of the major American mass-media companies.In response to the issue, Whole Foods became the first grocery chain to publicly commit to remove PFAS from takeout containers and bakery paper. Many other companies followed suit. Experts say people who want to avoid PFAS in their takeout and food delivery packaging should favor companies that have promised to remove the chemicals. “As soon as you receive your takeout, you’d better take food out of the container immediately, and never reheat food in its original container. Instead, remove your food and heat it in ceramic (陶瓷的) or glass containers.” Trier said.8．What can we learn about PFAS in food packaging?A．They have been used for two years.B．They do little harm to consumers’ health.C．They are used to break down the chemicals.D．They can make wrappers resistant to grease and water.9．What is Xenia Trier’s attitude to setting a lower limit of PFAS?A．Favorable.B．Neutral.C．Ambiguous.D．Opposed.10．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?A．Considerable migration of grease and water.B．PFAS transmission from packaging to food.C．Wrapper exposure to high food temperature.D．Regulatory limits concerning food packaging.11．What is the main idea of the text?A．Food packaging contains dangerous chemicals.B．Consumers are recommended to have PFAS-free products.C．PFAS found in food packaging has become a great concern.D．The government has taken measures to reduce PFAS exposure.Teenagers whose non-cognitive (非认知的) skills are poorly developed are more likely to suffer from health problems later in life, according to a new research by a group of experts from the University of Manchester.Rose Atkins of that university, along with her colleagues set out to investigate noncognitive skills as they are one of the least explored determining factors of health and well-being, despite the fact that evidence surrounding their importance is growing quickly.These skills are conscientiousness (尽责性), which tells how hardworking, careful and stubborn an adolescent is, and neuroticism (神经质), which shows how worried, unhappy and fearful an adolescent is,The researchers used data on a group of individuals who were followed throughout their life and carried out statistical analysis to study the relationship between adolescent non-cognitive skills and later-life health. The non-cognitive skills were reported by teachers, based on the behavior of students at age 16.The study found that individuals whose adolescent conscientiousness is higher deal with stress in adulthood better, and are at a lower risk of some diseases. And individuals whose adolescent neuroticism is higher have a poorer, health related quality of life in adulthood and are at a greater risk of some diseases.The researchers conclude that policies to improve adolescent conscientiousness and reduce adolescent neuroticism would offer the most long-term health benefits to those with the poo-rest health, “There is a growing body of evidence that suggests school-based interventions to improve non-cognitive skills can have lasting positive effects on important life outcomes,” said Rose. “Extra-curricular activities and work experience have also been shown to improve these skills. Having a greater focus on the improvement of non-cognitive skills at both primary and secondary school levels would be a positive policy decision, However, these skills are also determined by factors like family income, parental education, and parental investment. There-tore, more complex public policy is needed to reduce social inequality.”12．What can be inferred about non-cognitive skills?A．They can fall into three categories.B．They are mainly developed in childhood.C．Their importance has been totally ignored.D．Their impact on health doesn’t get enough attention.13．How did the researchers do their research?A．They carried out a large survey.B．They collected data from individuals.C．They followed 16-year-old individuals.D．They compared data from other research.14．What do the researchers think their findings suggest?A．Improving teens’ non- cognitive skills isn’t that challenging.B．Schools should reduce the time for extra-curricular activities.C．Measures should be taken to improve teens’ non-cognitive skills.D．Social inequality is the major cause of poor non-cognitive skills.15．What is the main idea of the text?A．Teens’ health in later life can be predicted.B．Teachers can improve students’ non-cognitive skills,C．The importance of non-cognitive skills is being recognized.D．Non-cognitive skills in adolescents affect their health in later life.二、七选五What exactly is the importance of teachers in the current educational landscape? The lastSuch people, however, have completely ignored the one thing that makes studying in a proper classroom irreplaceable and that is the importance of teachers.The internet has more information about any given topic than any one person can ever hope to possess. 17 Knowing that ‘tomato is a fruit’ is information, and not putting it in a fruit salad is wisdom. This example does a perfect job in illustrating just how important wisdom is in the day to day life. Books and the internet can give you information, but only a teacher can pass on wisdom. 18Understanding the reason for the poor performance of a particular child and helping them overcome their weakness while also pushing the top performers to do better are things only a teacher can do.You can develop the most amazing online tutoring platform and fill it with amazing andinteresting videos but it is never enough. 19 But videos are made for a general audience. They can hardly be sufficient for the problems that students face in their life outside the classroom. Only teachers who have spent time with their students can guide the students in a way that can help them figure a way out of any problem they might be facing in their life.20 While the list of reasons stating the importance of teachers is a bit too long to put in a single article, these two are sufficient to silence anyone who believes that going to school to be taught by proper teachers will soon become obsolete.A．Wisdom, however, is something that it badly lacks.B．Every single student is unique in his or her own way.C．Teachers are also important in shaping the future of the youth.D．On this point, the importance of teachers should never be understated.E．Everything people can possibly learn is freely available on the internet.F．Many argue that they might one day completely replace formal schooling.G．These are just two ways that teachers have a massive impact on their students.三、完形填空made the donation.The surgery was a success, with no 32 . “It’s really just a story about simple 33 ,” Susan Ellis says. “For us, it started with two people just being good humans.”Rodney Wimbush says he will be forever 34 that his wife decided to 35 a subject about blood types in the office restroom.21．A．Hence B．Nevertheless C．Thus D．Otherwise 22．A．transformation B．translation C．transmission D．transplant 23．A．perfect B．consistent C．legal D．random 24．A．on B．over C．in D．at 25．A．comforting B．commanding C．complaining D．composing 26．A．come up B．put up C．give up D．make up 27．A．predicted B．worried C．guaranteed D．insisted 28．A．competence B．diligence C．dependence D．coincidence 29．A．proposal B．demand C．solution D．negotiation 30．A．reviewed B．revealed C．restricted D．restored 31．A．motivation B．participation C．conversation D．conservation 32．A．reception B．refusal C．registration D．rejection 33．A．courage B．kindness C．sympathy D．honesty 34．A．hopeful B．careful C．regretful D．grateful 35．A．bring about B．bring down C．bring up D．bring out四、用单词的适当形式完成短文Readers share their opinions.SteveCongratulations to Huawei and all the engineers 42 have been working hard in semi-conductor areas! Huawei is a warrior who can’t be beaten to death. The US, time to wake up!

Congratulations to China and the Chinese people for this significant 44 (accomplish)! US companies will gradually lose China’s market due to its politicians’ catastrophic policies and decisions!RickShortly before her visit to China, the US Commerce Secretary Raymond had said that the US would ‘consider’ lifting sanctions on China in exchange for China giving up its own research and development efforts in advanced 45 (technology). Ironically, on the very day of her arrival in Shanghai, Huawei released Mate 60 Pro, which can be seen as a resounding rebuttal to US sanctions and a significant challenge to the Secretary’s position. It might be fitting to consider sending a Huawei Mate 60 Pro as a parting gift to Secretary Raymond.五、其他应用文46．Someone says, like a musical symphony, life has high and low moments, and somewhere in between are those moments we call “bittersweet”.请结合以上材料，给你校英文报写一篇短文，介绍你高中生活中的不同时刻，并总结经过这些时刻后，你对生活的态度或认识。
2023-2024学年重庆市高三下学期3月月考英语试题
2023-2024学年重庆市高三下学期3月月考英语试题When it comes to tricks in life, the following will be of great help, which might surprisingly end up working the magic.Hooks that helpThere’s nothing worse than throwing something into the trash bin and watching the garbage bag fall in with it. To prevent this, stick two wall hooks onto the outside of your bin(one on either side), positioned so they face downward. The next time you replace the grocery bag, loop its handles through the hooks and no matter how full the bag gets, it’ll never drop to the bottom of the bin again.Easier garbage storageYou have probably encountered this: after filling the bag with trash, it forms a vacuum (真空) seal so tight t hat it’s a struggle to lift the bag out once it’s full. What to do? Punch a couple of small holes in the sides, a few centimeters above its base. The holes will allow just enough airflow to make lifting out the trash a piece of cake.Instant bottle brushIf you have an ordinary kitchen sponge (海绵) and a fork, then you have everything you need for a DIY bottle brush. Pierce the narrowest edge of the sponge with the fork and slide the sponge down until the points of the fork are fully covered. You can now clean out the skinniest bottle with ease.Express dryingNeed washed load of laundry dried in a flash? Toss a clean, dry towel into the dryer along with all the wet stuff for the first 15 minutes of the cycle. It’ll absorb some of the moisture and speed up th e overall drying time.1. What is the key to lifting trash bags?A．The fork. B．The hook. C．The brush. D．The holes.2. Why is a dry towel used in the laundry?A．To take in water. B．To tidy the dryer.C．To clean the clothes. D．To distinguish the wet stuff.3. What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Various means of saving money. B．Creative ideas on making life fun.C．DIY solutions for life’s little dilemmas.D．Different ways to promote cooking skills. Sometimes one plus one does equal three, as was the case when Dave McNee met Claudia Mandekic 14 years ago. McNee was at a dentist appointment in Toronto when he chatted with Mandekic, whowas studying to be a teacher. When she told McNee what a headache it was to get students excited about math, he made a surprising suggestion, “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?”The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the colleagues were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School.When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly thrilled. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage, which, in turn, taught them about fractions (分数). The winning team would be determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” says Mandekic. “I realized we might be onto something.”The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other Toronto schools. “I was terrible at math,” says Duane Douglas, an 8th grader. “But once I started BallMatics and realized the sport I loved was directly tied to math, it made me a lot better at it. Every time I played basketball, I was thinking about math.”McNee and Mandekic have established a private high school called Uchenna Academy since 2019, where kids with excellent basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time.The value of BallMatics is clear: last year, the boys landed university scholarships for their performance in the classroom, not on the court. McNee and Mandekic believe the school’s commitment to academics is the key reason why it’s been a winner.4. What did Mandekic think of teaching math at the beginning?A．Worrying. B．Shocking. C．Boring. D．Exciting.5. What does the underlined word “fixated” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Calm. B．Impressed. C．Focused. D．Dependent.6. Duane Douglas was mentioned in paragraph 4 to ______.A．show the simplicity of math B．prove the success of BallMaticsC．stress the significance of playing D．display his passion for the school7. What is the best title of the passage?A．A Simple Entertainment B．A Surprising DiscoveryC．A Beautiful Coincidence D．A Winning CombinationMore than half the world’s population are city residents, and, by 2050, the United Nations predicts that seven in ten people will be. Architects are having to consider how architecture influences our emotional well-being in urban settings.According to Colin Ellard, a research psychologist at Waterloo University, Canada, there is a lot of eviden ce which shows “the profound impact that the design of buildings has on how we feel, how we treat one another, and our overall psychological well-being”. A study from the University of Heidelberg concluded that people raised in the countryside are less likely to have mental disorders than those raised in the city. The city of Vancouver in Canada, which is surrounded by mountains and ocean, recognises the need to connect with nature. It has included protecting ocean and mountain views in its urban planning guidelines. For example, tall buildings are set up in strategic locations that don’t block scenic views for downtown residents.The British designer Thomas Heatherwick wants to make architecture less soulless and boring. He told The Guardian, “We need to fe arlessly demand interestingness and make buildings that enrich our senses.” He has listed seven characteristics of a boring building. These include being too flat and straight. He says lack of depth means light and shadow cannot play on surfaces, while straight lines are at odds with nature and make buildings dull.However, making buildings interesting is not always easy, as architect Rafael Vinoly found out in 2013 when he created the 37-store y skyscraper in London. The building was admired for its curved exterior walls covered in reflective glass. However, it acted like a magnifying glass and reflected light which melted nearby cars and almost set fire to a carpet. A screen had to be added to prevent the building causing further damage.So, for your own well-being, surround yourself with buildings that bring you joy, and ideally a view of nature.8. Why are tall buildings located in certain places in Vancouver?A．To protect people’s mental health.B．To follow the tradition of the city.C．To caution people against disorder. D．To reveal the prosperity of the area.9. Which kind of building is Thomas’ preference?A．One with straight lines. B．One having flat surfaces.C．One having a security system. D．One with innovative patterns.10. What did Rafael Vinoly fail to consider in his design?A．Boldness. B．Creativity. C．Practicality. D．Flexibility.11. What is the purpose of the passage?A．To call on people to live in big cities.B．To compare buildings in different cities.C．To stress the importance of healthy emotion.D．To convince people of emotional impact by buildings.According to legend, the first-ever marathon was so exhausting that the Greek messenger, who dashed 40km from the battlefield to Athens, collapsed and died. Over the past 2,500 years, humans have become better at running. Eight of the ten fastest times in female marathon have been recordedsince 2022. This can to a large extent be explained by the development of a new generation of hyper-bouncy running shoes—“super-shoes”—that offer athletes greater assistance. Such has been the improvement that some have questioned whether the technology is now too dominant.No doubt that athletes are breaking records because of their footwear. Both Nike and Adidas have persuaded World Athletics to permit shoes with chunky, foam soles(鞋底), which act as springs. When their feet compress the super-shoes into the ground, the runners receive more energy as they push off again. In 2017 Nike announced the new technology allowed athletes to use 4% less energy than they would if wearing a regular shoe.Those who would like the shoes banned worry that the balance between the runners’ ability and footwear has become twisted. Plainly, though, this is a long way from shoes that matter more than runners. A club runner may set a personal best in a pair of Nike Alphaflys, but she is not going to outrun Ms. Assefa(world champion) wearing regular shoes. World Athletics insists such super-shoes should be available to all athletes in order to be legal, so there is no risk of results being determined by a lack of access to the best equipment.Part of the appeal of sports is that they show humans on an upward trajectory (轨迹), becoming stronger, faster and fitter. Technology has always contributed to this. But as the sports industry has more investment, the motivations to find an edge in performance have grown, whether in kit, diet or game strategy. Surely, advances have to be controlled. But banning super-shoes would be opposing progress and difficult to enforce. This is a genie (精灵)that cannot be returned to its shoebox.12. What has improved female marathon records since 2022?A．The changes of rules. B．The advance in sports kit.C．The assistance of coaches. D．The development of humans.13. What is centered on about super-shoes in paragraph 2?A．The principle. B．The history. C．The challenge. D．The drawback. 14. Which of the following might the author agree with?A．Ms. Assefa runs slowly in regular shoes. B．Using super-shoes is regarded asdishonest.C．Nike Alphaflys better athletes’ performance. D．Access to super shoes determines athletes’ success.15. What does the last paragraph imply?A．Athletics should not embrace super-shoes.B．There is nothing to fear about technological advances.C．Not all investments have led to advances in technology.D．It is impossible for sports industry to control super-shoes.Up to 80% of premature heart disease can be prevented by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known. 16 . “A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the long run,” says preventive cardiologist Dr. Beth Abramson.Get eight hours of sleep“ 17 ,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, founder of the Canadian Obesity Network. If we’re slee p deprived, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation(发炎) and glucose levels. These factors can all have an impact on heart health.18“We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” says Abramson. “Volun teering gets you out and creates a social network.” Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2020 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack.Avoid polluted airExposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Breathing in pollutants may irritate arteries (动脉) and increase inflammation. Even short periods of exposure are unhealthy for people who already have other cardiovascular risks, such as high blood pressure. 19 .Eat breakfastA recent study found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost twice more likely to have heart disease six years later than those consuming a substantial morning meal. One possible reason, “If you eat a proper breakfast, you’re less l ikely to be hungry later and make poor food choices,” says Abramson.“ 20 .”I was resting when Jenny called. “There’s a thing that ________ you,” she said. “My cat found a mouse and I don’t know how you feel about cats with mice, although I have the ________ that you are afraid of bugs.”“Bugs are afraid of me.” I said. Having been bitten by a spider, I decided my new ________ was simple: get them befor e they get you. “I will get it.”The mouse was under the ________ when I arrived. After putting a broom handle beneath to force surrender, which ________, I walked beside the fridge, armed with a box.It was a good plan, but it didn’t ________ according to plan. The box created a no-escape trap, the mouse ventured out and I slammed the box down. ________, the only thing inside the box was its tail, and the mouse was struggling to escape.Meanwhile, sensing Jenny was going ________ on the mouse, I said, “Don’t you dare name it! It’s not your pet.” The mouse then crawled up on the broom handle, and we were now eyeball to eyeball.I ________ for something else to get the mouse. She rushed over, and then a spatula (抹刀) descended over my shoulder.“What? This is a MOUSE not a MOUSSE (奶油)!” Another container was handed.

宁夏石嘴山市平罗中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第三次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解2022 Best Global Universities in EuropeThese four top global universities in Europe have been numerically ranked based on their positions in the overall Best Global Universities rankings. Each institution was evaluated based on its research performance around the world.University of OxfordThe date of the University of Oxford’s founding maybe traced back to at least 1096. Oxford is located around 60 miles northwest of London, and around 45 percent of its student body is made up of graduate students. Research at Oxford takes place in all four of its academic divisions: humanities; mathematical, physical and life sciences; medical sciences; and social sciences.University of CambridgeThe University of Cambridge, located around 60 miles north of London, traces its history back to 1209. Cambridge contains 31 residential colleges, which are-responsible for admitting undergraduate and graduate students; three colleges Lucy Cavendish College, Murray Edwards College and Newnham College—are women-only.University College LondonUniversity College London, or UCL, is a public institution that was founded in 1826. UCL is based in central London, though it also has branch campuses in Qatar and Australia. It has exchange and research agreements as well as other types of partnerships with universities around the world, for example, Zhejiang University in China.Imperial College LondonImperial College London was founded in 1907.The university was previously a college of the University of London and became an independent institution in 2007. The university's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme each year sends around 400 students to partner universities in different countries to conduct hands-on research: for a minimum of eight weeks during the summer break.1．Which university has the longest history?A．University of Oxford.B．University of Cambridge.C．University College London.D．Imperial College London.2．What is special about the University of Cambridge?A．It is located in the south of London.B．It has women-only colleges.C．It usually admits postgraduates.D．I towns four academic divisions. 3．What maybe a reason for students to choose Imperial College London?A．Studying in the city center B．Experiencing the life in Qatar.C．Having eight weeks off annually.D．Participating in practical studies.to her 8 a.m. first period class from time to time. “It was so hard to wake up in the morning,” she said. “I had to bike to school and I lived on the other side of the island.”Like other teens, mornings area struggle because she had several hours of homework and extracurricular activities the night before, but research shows that’s not the entire story. According to psychotherapists, Heather Turgeon and Julie Wright in their book Generation Sleepless, today's teens are sleepier than ever and earlier school start time is disturbing their body's circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm.“One of the things that happens somewhere around age 12 is that their brain clock becomes set to a later pace,” said Turgeon, which put sateen about two hours behind the sleep schedule of a young child or an adult. “That means they want to go to sleep later and they want to wake up later,” she said.“We consider adequate sleep —the very lowest amount—to be about eight hours,” said Wright. However, the average sleep time for high school students is usually about 6.5 hours. And missing out on just a couple hours of rest each night has negative consequences for developing teenage brains.When a teen is tired, the amygdala—which is the part of the brain that responds to danger—will become more active. And the parts of the brain that are in charge of judgment become less active. Sleep issues are commonly associated with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder (双相情感障碍) and ADHD (多动症). “We see teens with very serious mental health issues and accidents and soon things that parents really worry about—and getting enough sleep addresses those issues.”Even with research showing that letting students sleep well contributes to betteracademic performance, lower truancy (旷课) rates and improved mental health, there has been pushback from parents and school districts about delaying the start of the school day. 4．What does the underlined word “tardy” probably m can in paragraph 1?A．Late.B．Busy.C．Tired.D．Excited. 5．What do we know about the kids aged about 12 according to Turgeon?A．They feel more tired than ever B．They sleep later and wakeup later.C．They have about 6.5 hours of sleep D．They sleep about two hours later than adults.6．What docs the fifth paragraph mainly tell us?A．The teens are always feeling tiredB．The amygdala becomes more active.C．The lack of sleep causes many problems.D．The teenagers have trouble sleeping7．What maybe the author's attitude to later school start time?A．Favorable B．Doubtful C．Ambiguous.D．DisapprovingAre flash floods becoming more severe? Natural disasters are generally getting worse—and that's true for floods, too.As climate change warms the atmosphere, extreme rainfall is rising, which increases the risk of flash floods. Heavy precipitation(降水) events are predicted to increase by 2 to 3 times the historical average. The Federal Emergency Management Agency expects the nation’s floodplains to expand by 45 percent by the end of this century, as the agency reported in a recent study. A study in early 2021 found that increased precipitation—resulting partially from climate change—costs the US an additional $ 2.5 billion each year in flood damage. And some studies show that flood frequency was increasing in the Mississippi River valley and across the Midwest in the last century, as well as in the Northeast over the past 50 years.There are several steps you can take to prepare for flash floodsFirst, know the level of risk by looking at flood maps. You may be required to have flood insurance if you live in a high-risk area.Pay attention to flash flood watches, which the National Weather Service issues to indicate when conditions could result.in flash floods. People in these areas-should be-ready to take action—particularly if the NWS announces a flash flood warning. That’s issued whenflash floods are approaching and, at that point, people should immediately leave the area.But be particularly careful when travelling by car. Don’t drive through flooded streets—it's difficult to judge the water depth, and roadways hidden below the water can collapse. If floodwaters cause your vehicle to lose control, abandon it and seek the higher ground. Rapidly rising water can sweep the vehicle away. Know your surroundings and head to the higher ground, and listen to the radio updates when in a flood.It’s also important to develop an emergency prepared plan with your family or those you live with to have a few days’ worth of resources.8．Why does the author ask the question in paragraph 1?A．To confirm an idea.B．To conclude the text.C．To introduce a topic.D．To express some doubts.9．How does the authors support the theme of the second paragraph?A．By analyzing causes.B．By listing relevant data.C．By describing processes.D．By making comparisons.10．What are the drivers especially advised to do in the text?A．Purchase insurance.B．Look at flood maps.C．Have an emergency plan.D．Avoid the flooded streets.11．Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A．What Is a Flash Flood?B．Do Flash Floods Need Controlling?C．How Do We Prepare for Flash Floods?D．Are Flash Floods Becoming More Severe?Human tears could carry a flood of useful information. With just a few drops, a new technique can spot eye disease and even glimpse signs of diabetes(糖尿病), scientists report in ACS Nano.“We wanted to demonstrate the potential of using tears to detect disease,” says Liu Fei, a biomedical engineer at Wenzhou Medical University in China. It's possible that the t cars could open a window for scientists to look into the entire body, he says, and one day even let people quickly test their tears at home.Tears contain tiny sacs(囊) stuffed with cellular(细胞的) messages. If scientists could capture these microscopic mail bags, they could offer new information on what's happeninginside the body.But collecting enough of these sacs is tricky. Unlike fluid from other body parts, just a trickle of liquid leaks from the eyes.So Liu's team invented a new way to get the sacs from tiny volumes of tears. First, the researchers collected tears from study participants. Then, the team added a solution containing the tears to a device with two nanoporous membranes(纳米多孔膜), shook the membranes and sucked the solution through. Within minutes, the technique lets small molecules(分子) escape, leaving the sacs behind for analysis. The result surprises scientists very much. Different types of dry-eye disease left their own molecular fingerprints in people's tears, the team found. What's more, tears could potentially help doctors monitor how a patient's diabetes is progressing.Now, the scientists want to make use of tears for evidence of other diseases as well as depression or emotional stress, says study coauthor Luke Lee, a bioengineer at Harvard Medical School. “This is just the beginning.” he says, “Tears express something that we haven't really explored.”12．Which of the following can provide some information on the inside of the body?A．Tiny sacs.B．Body fluid.C．Molecular fingerprints.D．Nanoporous membranes.13．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．A new way to make sacs.B．Procedures of obtaining sacs.C．The cause of the experiment.D．Hope for diabetes patients.14．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Further research on tears is to be made by scientists.B．Scientists have discovered more evidence about tears.C．Scientists have done more than enough research on tears so far.D．Scientists merely use t cars as evidence of mental problems.15．Where docs the text probably come from?A．An official document.B．A personal blog.C．A fashion journal.D．A science report二、七选五Why Cooking Meals at Home Benefits More Than Just Your Wallet When hunger strikes, the convenience of entering a fast-food restaurant or ordering takeout can be terribly attractive. 16 However, when it becomes a routine, your waistline, your wallet and your health can be badly affected. Here are four reasons to make cooking at home your option.It’s cheaper.You could spend $100 at a fancy restaurant for one dinner, 17 . When you shop smart and get creative, you needn’t spend more than $1 on breakfast, $2 on lunch and $4 on dinner to purchase wholesome, healthy foods. Here’s how: Buy in large quantities and stick to store-brand items.It may reduce your exposure to certain chemicals.The most surprising benefit of cooking at home can decrease the amount of harmful chemicals you’re exposed to. 18 Common in takeout and fast-food packaging, those chemicals have been associated with many diseases. Food packaging can also contain other damaging compounds (化合物).You can better estimate calories.19 That is why people tend to consume extra calories when dining away from home. On the contrary, you have complete control over the food materials when you cook in your own kitchen. Choosing fiber-packed vegetables and meat containing less fat will help keep your calories under control. So will the way you cook your food. Rather than frying, choose roasting.20Many chefs use a lot of salt while cooking. While salt can make food tastier, too much of it is linked to serious health issues like heart disease and high blood pressure. At home, you can control the quantity of salt on your plate by seasoning food in other ways, like using lemon juice. The same goes for sugar. You can use smaller quantities of natural sweeteners like honey to add sweetness to your food. Too much added sugar is linked to some diseases as well.A．You can reduce added salt and sugar.B．Eating out can make calorie counting tricky.C．while the same amount of money could buy you groceries for a week.D．Salt and sugar are both essentials in cooking delicious foods.E．Relying on food away from home occasionally is totally acceptable.F．People are always too engaged in their work to cook at home personally.G．People cooking at home have lower levels of dangerous chemicals in their bodies三、完形填空Candace Nicoleau is no stranger to overcoming struggle.
