江苏省南京市六校联合体2024-2025学年高三上学期8月学期调研测试英语试题一、阅读理解Brecon Beacons YAC has an amazing opportunity for budding (崭露头角的)archaeologists (考古学家) of all ages, in Sunderland in Tyne and Wear. Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong will be investigating an archaeological mystery and they need your help.Romans?“The site is a bit of a mystery”, Frank Giecco from Wardell Armstrong said. “There is a very nice cropmark recorded on the site that has got lots of people very excited. Geophysicists (地质物理学家) failed to find anything related to the cropmark. There is anecdotal (趣闻的)evidence of Roman material being found, but nothing is officially recorded. We hope to finally answer the question of what is in this field, during the two weeks on site. Is there evidence of any Roman occupation on the site? Can you help us find out?Get involvedThis is an opportunity for both adults and children to take part in field walking and trial trenching (small hand-dug test pits for children). No experience is necessary, training will be provided by the professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong, and all equipment will be provided. Volunteers can attend for as few or as many days as they wish, but they do need to book a place. For more information, and to book your place, please contact Norman Kirtlan at ***********************************.1.What’s the main purpose of the activity?A.To seek funding for archaeological research.B.To find volunteers to help solve an archaeological mystery.C.To appeal for help in proving findings based on anecdotal evidence.D.To organize volunteers to help sort out data on the Roman occupation.2.Which of the following statement might be true if you take part in the activity?A.You will be coached by experts in the field.B.You should have worked with archaeologists before.C.You should spare two weeks to stay at the site.D.You will be charged for using equipment.3.Who is the activity probably intended for?A.Romans.B.Experts.C.Officials.D.FamiliesKiska, the last captive (圈养的) killer whale in Canada ---also known as “the loneliest whale in the world” ----has died, according to local media.The whale, believed to be 47 years old, died on March 9, 2023. Ontario’s Solicitor General Ministry spokesperson Brent Ross confirmed to CBC.Kiska, who spent over four decades in captivity, lived at Marineland, a zoo and amusement park in Niagara Falls, after being captured in Icelandic waters in 1979 alongside Keiko, the star of the movie Free Willy. Marineland said that Kiska’s health had declined in recent weeks.The news comes four years after the country officially banned whales and dolphins from being bred or held in captivity. However, marine mammals like Kiska that were already held in captivity would remain so, according to the new law. Kiska’s death marks the end of captive whales in Canada.People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said Kiska “spent her final years isolated in a tank, swimming in endless circles or sometimes floating listlessly.”Kiska’s life of continued isolation led the Whale Sanctuary Project to describe her as “the loneliest whale in the world.”Both animal rights groups reported that Kiska died of a bacterial infection. Ross told CBC that animal welfare officials had conducted a necropsy (尸检) of the mammal.Kiska underwent several hardships while living at the amusement park, according to PETA.These included the deaths of all five of her children and the departure of her sole tankmate Ikaika in 2011. Videos of Kiska slamming her head against her tank wall multiple times begancirculating on social media in 2021.Kiska was one of the last survivors of the Icelandic captures back in the 1970s. She lived the last 12 years of her life completely along, no other whales or in fact any other species were there to keep her company.“It is heartbreaking to know that Kiska will never have the chance to be relocated to a whale reserve and experience the freedom that she so deeply deserved.” Camille Labchuk, executive director of Animal justice, told CBC.There are at least 55 killer whales being held in captivity in marine parks around the world, according to the Whale and Dolphin Conservation. Killer whales are known to be very social mammals and are not suitable for captivity. Chronic stress can weaken the immune system and physiology of captive killer whales, leading to illness and even death.4.Which of the following statement is true about Kiska?A.She died as the last captive killer whale in the world.B.She was captured in the ocean more than 40 years ago.C.She was a star in a film called Free Willy.D.She should have been set free according to a new law passed in 2019.5.Why Kiska was referred to as “the loneliest whale in the world”?A.Because Kiska’s death marks the end of captive whales in Canada.B.Because Kiska was kept alone after a bacterial infection.C.Because Kiska lived the last 12 years of her life without company.D.Because all five of Kiska’s children died ahead of her.6.What does the underlined word listlessly probably means in the text?A.Without enthusiasm.B.Without destination.C.Without breath.D.Without effort.7.What is the best title of the text?A.It’s time we stop catching killer whalesB.The death of a killer whale leads to a new law in CanadaC.Kiska, the last survivor of the Icelandic captures, has diedD.Kiska, “the loneliest whale in the world”, dies in CanadaNow a company is launching a new robot on personal service machines. Rather than keeping you company at home, GITA (pronounced Jee-Tah) helps you go hands-free while you walk down the street, to the grocery store or to visit your neighbors. Like the name, which means “outing” in Italian, the robotic servant is for short trips out and about.Designed by the Piaggio Group, the smart device uses five cameras to see you, follow you around and carry up to 40 pounds of your belongings for four hours. It’s similar to those robotic suitcases that trail behind you at the airport, but with an entirely different outside. Picture a large container but on wheels. That’s what GITA looks like in the flagship orange color. Imagine having a hi-tech that can follow you around with your shopping inside. It’s round and strong yet relatively smart and convenient. The robotic helper is a joy to engage with, sort of like a dog.Operating GITA is simple. You just press one button to turn it on, one button for the cameras to scan your legs, and you’re off. It actually does pretty good job of following you and recognizing when you change directions. Its movement is oddly natural. When you speed up it falls behind a bit before trying to catch up, and when you stop, it stops — usually. GITA operates best on hard surfaces. However, it can’t go upstairs. It can roll on slight inclines (斜坡) and keep up with a walking person at speeds up to 6 miles per hour.A system of sounds and lights will let you know whether it is unpaired or needs a charge. And an app lets you share your robot with your “crew”, so it can follow them, too. With a speaker, your GITA can carry candy and play theme music as you take the kids trick-or-treating.A USA TODAY tech reporter gave GITA a test run in 2019. He said, “GITA certainly made quite an impression on passers-by as it rolled down New York’s busy Madison Avenue.” Yet having tech trail behind you takes some getting used to. You can’t help but look behind you to make sure it’s keeping up, somewhat like monitoring a pet.8.For what purpose is the new robot designed?A.To instruct you where to go.B.To serve you as you walk around.C.To accompany you at home.D.To protect you when you’re traveling. 9.What does the new robot probably look like?A.It looks like a royal dog.B.It has flags and smart panels.C.It is round, orange and can roll of itself.D.It resembles cameras in appearance. 10.Which of the following is true about GITA?A.It can roll up a sharp slope at a high speed.B.It can only recognize and follow its owner.C.It can adjust its pace automatically.D.It can play tricks for children.11.What can we learn about GITA from the last paragraph?A.People are heavily dependent on it.B.It is far from being put into use.C.It is easy to get lost and needs to be improved.D.Users have difficulty accustoming themselves to it at first.Salad plants have already been grown in old shelters and tunnels. Urban farming is a regular topic of interest at places like the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, where leaders consider whether the world’s food system, blamed for causing both obesity and malnutrition, can be fixed. There are already plenty of urban farming projects around the world, particularly in the US, Japan and the Netherlands, from urban fish and plant farms to vertical farming.“It’s becoming an expanding industry,” said Richard Ballard, one of the founders of the farm Growing Underground. “There are several other businesses starting up in London in containers, and there are other vertical farms around the country now.”Growing Underground is not a standard farm. The rows of crops could be in almost any tunnel, but these plants are 100 feet below Clapham High Street and show that urban agriculture is, in some cases at least, not a fad. The underground farm has occupied a part of the Second World War air-raid shelters for nearly five years, and Ballard is planning to expand into the rest of the space later this year.Growing Underground supplies herb and salad mixes to grocery shops, supermarkets and restaurants. Being in London creates an advantage, Ballard says, as they can harvest and deliver in an hour.He adds other advantages. Being underground means temperatures never go below 15 ----surface greenhouses need to be heated. They can do more harvests: 60 crops a year, compared with about seven in a traditional farm. Electricity to power the lights is a major cost, but the company believes renewable energy will become cheaper.Similar British companies include the Jones Food Company in Lincolnshire, while in the US AeroFarms has several projects in New Jersey, and Edenworks in Brooklyn.12.What can we learn about urban farming?A.Different farming methods are used.B.Local governments pay efforts to develop it.C.It leads to a healthier lifestyle.D.It is rarely discussed at the WEF.13.Which of the following best explains “a fad” underlined in Paragraph 3?A.A plan that has great potential.B.A tradition that appeals to a lot of people.C.An approach that can solve a serious problem.D.A fashion that’s popular for a short time.14.Which of the following is true about the underground farm?A.Its major products are herbs and salads.B.It produces more kinds of foods than a traditional farm.C.It is more productive than a traditional farm.D.It uses less energy than a greenhouse.15.What is the theme of the text?A.Traditional farming will be replaced soon.B.Growing Underground attracts more people.C.Current food system causes health problems.D.Urban farming is still thought costly and time-consuming.While 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 mentalhealth 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Several months ago, a tornado fiercely hit our city without any signs before. We had not 21 for it in advance, so we were just forced to go into our 22 actions. I happened not to be in the classroom when it attacked. Hearing the alarm screaming, I rushed 23 as fast as I could back to the classroom.Never did I imagine that we would put our regular 24 to use. Never did I imagine that my students had 25 against the wall and crouched (蹲) down on their knees. Theireyes were obviously filled with 26 as they asked if their parents, pets, and friends would be okay. I, along with other teachers, tried our best to 27 them, though we actually didn’t know what the 28 would be.I couldn’t 29 the tornado anymore. However, I’m very proud of my students who performed so well. In such a(an) 30 and dangerous situation, they behaved beyond their ages. Never in my life had I seen them 31 instructions so quickly, without any hesitation. Though some tears were dropping and some hearts were beating fast, the kids were incredibly 32 . I am extremely proud that they struggled to calm down because of theirs 33 in me.Because of the tornado, I realized that my job as a teacher meant a lot. Behind every well-behaved students are a long line of teachers who have made it their life’s 34 to educate them with safety, courage, calmness and trust. Though the tornado has presented 35 , I’m sure we can handle them one by one.21.A.waited B.anticipated C.considered D.prepared 22.A.agency B.emergency C.urgency D.efficiency 23.A.quickly B.finally C.secretly D.immediately 24.A.games B.trainings C.activities D.savings 25.A.mixed up B.messed up C.lined up D.risen up 26.A.anger B.fear C.curiosity D.shock 27.A.encounter B.praise C.satisfy D.comfort 28.A.problem B.result C.case D.status 29.A.hate B.expect C.meet D.approach 30.A.simple B.ideal C.scary D.strange 31.A.follow B.provide C.repeat D.guide 32.A.confident B.honest C.brave D.fortunate 33.A.trust B.pride C.interest D.expectation 34.A.reward B.power C.wisdom D.goal 35.A.chances B.challenges C.adventures D.discussions三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

For centuries, the “Big Four” diamonds, red stones, green stones and blue stones—ruled the gem (珠宝) world. When tanzanite first appeared in 1967, it became a hit. Unlike those other stones, which are mined all over the world, tanzanite can be found in only one place on Earth: in the remote Merelani Hills in the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa.Gem of the century meets deal of the century. With its remarkable rarity and unique gemstone qualities, it’s no wonder that experts have called it “the gemstone of the 20th century”. In recent years, top-quality tanzanite gems have fetch ed higher prices at auction (拍卖会) than the Big Four! But because we buy direct and use our own designers, we are able to offer you this rare beauty for ONL Y $59!What makes tanzanite so ir resistible to gem experts? Part of its appeal is the beautiful violet blu e color. Tanzanite is also trichroic—which means that three different colors are visible when the stone is viewed from different angles.A gemstone found in only one place on earth means supply is extremely limited. Get your hands on the Karatu Tanzanite Ring before they’re gone!Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. Experience the rare beauty of the Karatu Tanzanite Ring for two months. If you’re not completely impressed, simply send it back within 60 days for a complete return of the sale price. We want you to feel like you got the deal of the century!21. What is tanzanite?A. A ring brand.B. A kind of stone.C. A place in Africa.D. A deal of the century.22. What is special about tanzanite?A. Its bright color.B. Its high price.C. Its long-standing reputation.D. Its unique place of origin.23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To promote goods.B. To introduce a gem.C. To present a discovery.D. To recommend return service.BRepositioning the light for the third time, Reilly leaned (倾斜) the phone at an angle she thought would make her face look skinny. She prepared herself for her best smile in3,2, 1!Finally! A picture she can work with. Everyone else in school had a social media account and nobody knows how hard she tried to eve ntually get mom’s permi ssion. She had been sitting up her account for days, and the picture of herself was the final touch.She had worked cautiously creating her profile. Her hometown was boring, so she filled in a more exciting one several towns over. Her job was nonexistent since she was only 14, but she filled in “Accountant”. Why not? Seemed like a cool job. And she was getting good at making a perfect account here, so “accountant” was fitting.She wrote her first post. Then deleted it. She wanted to avoid sounding like she just started an account. She thought of something brilliant.“Hey new account here, had to. You know, locked out of my other one. Add me here!”Now people would think she had to start this one because an old one got hacked (非法入侵),and they just didn’t know she had none before. Then the “friend spread” would happen. The website would start suggesting her page to friends of friends until she grew her list to a respectable size.It was starting already! Friend requests on her list. A comment! “Gorgeous (漂亮的) girl!” It was from Amy, in her science class. Reilly felt gorgeous.At school, Reilly looked around wondering who saw her new profile.“Hey. Saw your new account,” Nora, her best friend, said from somewhere behind her.“How does it look?” Reilly asked.“It looks pretty cool. But, I almost didn’t know it was you, Reilly,” Nora smiled. “And just in case you forget, you are good enough as you are.”24. What was Reilly busy doing these days?A. Looking for a cool jotB. Chatting with friends online.C. Setting up a social media account.D. Improving her photography skills.25. Why did Reilly rewrite her post?A. To sound more experienced.B. To add something brilliant.C. To unlock her old account.D. To ensure safety of her page.26. What did Reilly feel gorgeous about?A. Making a new friend in real life.B. Having a science lesson with Amy.C. Creating a profile totally on her own.D. Expanding her influence on social media.27. What does Nora’s comment imply?A. Reilly should appreciate her true self.B. Reilly should pursue the best version of herself.C. Reilly shouldn't be too proud of what she's done.D. Reilly shouldn't forget to show the good side of her.CA new network of dedicated antennas (天线) in Africa will lend insight into the damage that storms of charged particles (粒子) from the sun make on satellite and radio communications. Zambia set up its first such sensor in March —one of eight multifrequency receivers being stationed around Africa, in addition to four already operating in South Africa. Kenya and Nigeria will set up their receivers by the end of the year.The Space Weather network that extends over Africa will provide real-time data on how solar storms distort (扭曲) the ionosphere, the charged outer layer of Earth's atmosphere. This distortion can have dangerous consequences, says Mpho Tshisaphungo, a space weather researcher at the South African National Space Agency (SANSA). Signals between crucial satellites and the ground pass through this region, where charged particles can cause interference (干扰). Also, high-frequency radio signals (often used in defense and emergency services communications) have to bounce off the ionosphere; Tshisaphungo notes that when solar storms change the layer, “the radio signal may eithe r be weakened, delayed or absorbed by the iono sphere.”“While there are data available from international space weather programs, if you want to look at what’s happening on the African continent, then you need to take measurements in Africa,” says John Habarulema, a space scientist at SANSA. Habarulema’s team developed a model last year that maps electron density (电子密度) in the ionosphere and fills in measurement gaps. The new local receivers will boost this model's accuracy and let it describe fluctuations (波动) over the full continent. “We need to have the global perspective and put that data into our global models,” says Terry Onsager, a U.S. physicist. “But at the same time, space weather disturbances can vary enormously from location to location.” And it is becoming increasingly important to model the ionosphere’s behavior, he says, because “we’re getting more and more reliant on techmologies that are reliant on space weather.”28. What is the function of the newly-set antennas in Africa?A. To prevent possible distortion of the ionosphere.B. To analyse the weather changing records of the region.C. To improve internet connectivity in African rural areas.D. To monitor solar storms’ effects on radio communications.29. Which of the following is a “dangerous consequence” according to paragraph 2?A. Satellites may be destroyed.B. Crucial signals may be blocked.C. Bad weather may strike the earth.D. Charged particles may be weakened.30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The development of global weather models.B. The factors of accurate space measurement.C. The importance of collecting global climate data.D. The necessity of building multi frequency receivers in Africa.31. What is the best title for the text?A. The sun takes people on earth by stormB. Joint efforts in need to deal with solar stormsC. New space weather network extends over AfricaD. Africa on board to protect radio communicationsDHow could anyone dislike giving and receiving gifts? A good gift can be totally life changing. Gifts are so meaningful that some people identify “receiving gifts” as their primary“love language”.Indeed, on the surface, gift-giving occasions seem like wonderful opportunities to experience and create delight. But according to a 2023 survey, gift-giving and receiving is actually the least popular love language overall.The problem is that occasions that involve gift giving are full of uncertainty. If it’s an occasion like Christmas, where people are shopping for each other at the same time, people might still be nervous about whether the gift they give will be in the same category as the gift they will also receive. For instance, you don’t want to give someone a gag (恶作剧) gift when they're giving you a sincere, heartfelt gift. Mismatched approaches to gift-giving are a common recipe for awkwardness.There can also be enormous uncertainty around how your gift will be experienced by the receiver. Imagine that a close friend is showing some signs of seasonal affective disorder, and you’re giving him a therapy (疔法) lamp as a gift. True, he may very well be appreciative, indicating that this is “just what he needed.” But what if he interprets the gift as an unwelcome piece of commentary on his affective state? One could imagine a reaction along the lines of “Gosh, I’m sorry I’ve been so unpleasant to be around,” The message we send is not necessarily the same as the message received.Worst of all, there’s the anxiety that comes with receiving gifts. If you are like me, you may have found yourself in a setting where you expect a lot of well-meaning but disappointing gifts are headed your way. There can be some fear that comes with knowing that you'll soon need to perform joy and appreciation. Even worse, you might worry that the gift-giver will detect your in sincerity, wounding them in the process.It's not all bad, of course. When done carefully, gift-giving can be a wonderful way to draw people closer together, in a lasting way.32. Gift giving is full of uncertainty because ______.A. people prepare insincere gifts for othersB. the gifts they give are of the same categoryC. people shop for gifts for different occasionsD. mismatched gift- giving frequently happens33. An example of the therapy lamp is used to illustrate ______.A. trust can be earned through gift-givingB. misunderstanding can arise from gift-givingC. harmony can be achieved through gift-givingD. depression can be a byproduct of gift-giving34. What makes a gift-receiver most anxious?A. Expressing disappointment over the gifts.B. Having pretended delight at the gifts uncovered.C. Expecting well-intentioned gifts from friends.D. Fearing to extend appreciation for the gifts.35. What is the author’s at titude towards gift giving?A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Objective.D. Unclear.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2023届江苏省南京市第一中学高三上学期学情调研二英语试题

2022-2023学年一中高三第一学期学情调研(二)第二部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)AOn today’s blog post, I’ll be talking about my favorite magazines. I love reading books & magazines, and I’m learning so many useful tips about healthy living, daily life, etc.Women’s HealthWomen’s Health has a unique content. You can find various interesting information about healthy living or exercises you can do at home.

This idea rings true for a mother cat who acted fast and sought out help when her kittens were in trouble. This mother cat’s quick thinking may have just saved her babies.In the urban district of Izmir in western Turkey, a cat walked into a regular hospital bolding a kitten in her mouth. As the mother cat moved through the hospital, people were surprised to see such a sight, but let her pass. The mother cat asked for help, crying for a long time. She was familiar to the hospital staff, who had been leaving her food and water outside, but they were unaware that she had given birth to kittens.The mother cat was concerned for her young because they weren’t able to open their eyes. After the doctors looked at the kittens, they noticed that they were suffering from eye infections. One of the doctors recalls, “We consulted with vets (兽医) and gave medicine as described. When the kittens opened their eyes a short time la ter, we were excited.” Later, they were sent to an animal hospital for further care. The cats are now up for adoption and will hopefully find loving forever homes.When it comes to mother cats and kittens, kittens completely depend on mothers for the first few months of their lives. Because they are blind and almost deaf until about two or three weeks old, the mother cat must protect them from any threat or danger. Without the mother cat’s help, the kittens may not make it to adulthood.As shown by the moth er cat in Turkey, a mother’s love and protection knows no bounds. Whether the mom is a human or a cat, mothers will always look out for their babies and make sure they are safe and healthy.4. Why did the mother cat show up in the hospital?A. To beg for food.B. To get her babies treated.C. To express thanks.D. To give birth to her babies.5. How did the doctors help the baby cat?A. They built them a home.B. They adopted all of them.C. They operated on them immediately.D. They gave them right medicine.6. What makes newly-born cats dependent on their mothers?A. Their physical state.B. Their eating habit.C. Their appearance.D. Their behavior.7. What can we learn from the story?A. cat has nine lives.B. One good turn deserves another.C. Love makes a difference.D. God helps those who help themselves.CCan snacking be a key element of a healthy lifestyle?If your first response is "No!",here's a chance to update your opinions.Some of us were raised with the advice of "Never cat between meals",which can protect our teeth from sweets.Yet there can be significant advantages of snacking on healthy foods.Researchers have found that eating frequent mini-meals offers health benefits.Dr.David Jenkins and colleagues at the University of Toronto have reported some remarkable advantages.In one study,participants were randomly divided into two groups and both groups were given the same type and amount of food over a two-week period.One group consumed three meals a day.For those having a "Nibbling Diet",food was divided into 17 mini-meals a day.After two weeks,the nibblers had reduced their blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels by more than 15 percent.Cortisol (皮质醇), a stress indicator,was reduced by 17 percent.Average serum insulin (血清胰岛素) levels of nibblers were reduced by 28 percent.With less insulin,the body is less likely to convert loads of calories into body fat.Also,you may think eating concentrated sources of fat or sugar (or both) will pack the weight into your body.However,see below for some examples of healthy snacks:Nuts are high in fat so keep portions moderate.However,the fat comes with a wealth of minerals and protective substances.For growing youngsters,high-energy adults,athletes and those who have difficulty maintaining their weight,nuts are a great solution.Dried fruits (raisins, currants,apricots) help you stock up on iron.If you tend to feel cold in winter,keep raisins handy.When your blood sugar drops,you'll have an instant remedy.Fresh fruit is also a great choice.8. Why does the author propose a question at the beginning of the passage?A.To raise the readers' awareness of refusing snacks.B.To arouse the readers' interest in the topic.C.To show the significance of healthy lifestyles.D.To emphasize the importance of eating snacks.9. What do the underlined words "Nibbling Diet" in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Not eating too much food at a time.B.Eating many snacks at a time.C.Eating food gently each time.D.Eating food quickly each time.A.The nibblers are more likely to pack the weight into their body.B.More insulin helps the body to burn off excess calories.C.Having snacks high in fat or sugar doesn't necessarily put on weight.D.Eating a considerable amount of nuts is a brilliant choice for everyone.11. Who can benefit from dried fruits in daily life?A.An athlete who needs to maintain his weight.B.A child who is eager to grow up quickly.C.A girl who wants to warm herself in winter.D.A patient who longs to decrease his blood sugar.DThe term“s ocial distancing”has been at the center of public conversation for a while. But it's not“social" distance we are trying to promote. It'sphysical separation. In fact, preserving social ties - even at a distance - is essential for both mental and physical health. The results of an analyticreview done in 2017 indicate that a lack of social support is on a par with smoking cigarettes as a risk factor for health.Given this fact, how might we best stay connected to others while maintaining physical distance? Would we be better off e-mailing a friend? Makinga phone call? Setting up a video chat? In our study, Nick Epley and I tested whether the media through which people interact affects their sense ofconnection-and how expectations about certain technologies impact the communication media they choose to use.In our experiment, we asked participants to reconnect with someone that they hadn't interacted with recently, either through e-mail or over thephone. Participants first made predictions about what it would be like to get in touch if they reached out in these two ways. They generally believed thatthey'd feel more connected when interacting via the phone than over e-mail. But they also predicted that talking on the phone could be moreuncomfortable than sending an e-mail. Although these participants believed that talking encouraged stronger bonds, most of them said they' d rather sendan e-mail than call the person up. Fears about awkwardness, it seems, push individuals toward text-based methods for communicating.In the next part of the experiment, we had participants actually reconnect using one randomly determined mode of communication and then followedup with them after they had done so. We found that people do form meaningfully stronger bonds when interacting over the phone than over e-mail.Importantly, though, there was no difference in the amount of discomfort when reconnecting on the phone.The next time you think about how best to connect, consider calling or setting up a video chat. Feelings of social connection are preferablyfacilitated by voice rather than a keyboard.12. How does the author support his view on the importance of maintaining social ties?A. By stating a deep-rooted tradition.B. By citing a published report.C. By sharing public opinions.D. By presenting official documents.13. What did the author and Epley's study focus on?A. How technologies impact means of communication.B. How social media choices affect feelings of connection.C. Why maintaining social separation is bad for mental health.D. Why reconnecting with friends over the phone brings awkwardness.14. What can we infer from the study results?A. They changed the research objectives.B. They provided insights for future studies.C. They confirmed researchers' expectations.D. They contradicted participants' predictions partly.A. For stronger bonds, talk instead of typing.B. Keeping in touch is key to a lasting friendship.C. Think before you consider contacting an old friend.D. Text-based methods for communication cause discomfort.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important festivals in Chinese calendar.The festival typically involves family getting together to share mooncakes while watching the moon.Typical Chinese mooncakes are round in shape, and measure around 10 cm indiameter and 4-5 cm in thickness.Most mooncakes consist of a thin tender skin enveloping a sweet, dense filling.___16___ lt is a custom for housewives to prepare mooncakes at home when the festival is approaching.Now let's learn to make traditional Chinese mooncakes.Above all, full preparations should be made, including materials such as dough (生面团) flour, water, sugar and vegetable oil, and fillings—lotus seed paste(莲子蓉)and eggs.Mix together all the materials to get a dough. ___17___Next, separate the egg yolks from the whites and salt the steamed yolks.

英语写作指导

英语写作指导·江苏卷汇编题型解读根据08年江苏高考最新说明,写作部分的最大变化在于字数由120上升到了150。

说明中给出的样题为06年江苏高考英语写作题目。

多出来的30个字,该由何处而来?考生作文写不长的一个主要原因是依赖于逐字翻译,不会对要点进行合理扩展。

我们有理由相信所有考生都喜欢事半功倍,而怎样才能功倍,在山重水复中柳暗花明呢?最有效的办法就是将其方法总结为WHAT。

W-why,是指原因;H-how,是指细节;A-after,是指后果;T-thought,是指感想。

其中W/H/A宜在要点扩展中运用,T宜在文章最后发表感想运用。

以06年江苏高考英语模拟卷作文题中“介绍中国历史和文化”这一个要点来看看如何运用W/H/A 来扩展要点。

介绍中国历史和文化通过上面这个图,相信可以很清除的看到思路是如何扩展的,从原因可以引申出中国历史悠久、文化繁荣,从细节可以引申出中国历史和文化的各个方面,从影响可以引申出文化交流等方面。

这里同学们要学会的是一个思路拓展的方法,具体拓展的各个小的方面可以自行发挥,但是一定要注意与主题关联,否则就是偏题。

原句为Thirdly, they should introduce the Chinese culture and history to foreigners.首先让我们来添加原因,Thirdly, they should introduce the Chinese culture and history to foreigners since China is one of the cradles of human civilization and has a flourishing culture.细节,这是最容易发挥的一个途径。

Thirdly, they should introduce the Chinese culture and history, such as traditional customs, various dynasties, Confucianism and so on. 但是要注意适可而止、过犹不及的道理,发挥到这个层次就不要再往下写了,否则整篇文章的主题就变成了如何介绍中国历史与文化。

2024届江苏省南京市高三下学期考前综合训练题(一)英语试题

2024届江苏省南京市高三下学期考前综合训练题(一)英语试题

2024届江苏省南京市高三下学期考前综合训练题(一)英语试题一、阅读理解The Shanghai Museum has announced its 2024 exhibition list, and “Top of the Pyramids, Ancient Egyptian Civilization Exhibition” will be the most anticipated.Running from July 19 to August 17, 2025, the one-year exhibition features the world’s largest and Asia’s highest level of ancient Egyptian cultural relics (文物) seen outside the country of Egypt. More than 95 percent of the Egyptian relics in this show are coming to Asia for the first time. It is also China’s first cooperation with the Egyptian government.Occupying three exhibition halls on the first floor at the Shanghai Museum, the exhibition will display nearly 500 groups of 800 ancient Egyptian relics.To be in concert with this exhibition, “Disappearing Pharaoh Khufu”, an immersive (沉浸的) exhibition, will be held at the same time on the second floor at the museum. Through the top virtual reality technology, visitors are able to travel back to the mysterious Egyptian civilization 4,500 years ago through a 45-minute digital experience.Besides this exhibition, the Shanghai Museum will also arrange a group of overseas exhibitions to spread traditional Chinese culture and art to more people. Among them, “China’s Han Dynasty cultural relics exhibition” will be on display in Hungary from January to June, showing the artistic and cultural achievements during the Han Dynasty. “The World of Marco Polo” will be shown from April to September in Italy and “The Beauty of Chinese Ceramics” in Japan from October to March, 2025.1.What’s special about the Egyptian cultural relics show?A.It displays relics hardly shown in Asia before.B.It features a VR experience in 3 exhibition halls.C.It marks Egypt’s first overseas exhibition of relics.D.It witnesses the long-term China-Egypt cooperation.2.Which exhibition will be shown in Italy?A.Disappearing Pharaoh Khufu.B.China’s Han Dynasty cultural relics exhibition.C.The World of Marco Polo.D.The Beauty of Chinese Ceramics.3.Where is this text probably taken from?A.A travel schedule.B.A local newspaper.C.A museum brochure.D.An official document.Last year I averaged 9,370 steps a day. My smartphone counted. My daily aim? Ten thousand steps. Because goals.Yet the concept of taking 10,000 steps a day to maintain health is rooted not in science but in marketing. In the 1960s, a Japanese company invented an early pedometer (计步器). Because the Japanese character for “10,000” looks like a person walking, the company called its device the 10,000-step meter. “It was just sort of a catchy phrase,” says I-Min Lee, a scientist at Harvard Medical School.In 2019, Lee published a study investigating the actual effects of meeting the 10,000-step goal. The result? Some movement is good, and more is better, but the benefits decline at some point. Your personal peak depends on your age. People younger than 60 should indeed walk 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day to get the best benefits in terms of lifespan (寿命). People older than 60 show the most benefit between 6,000 and 8,000 steps.The difference is energy consumption. “We basically relate energy consumption to health outcomes,” Lee says. Walking for 60 minutes at 3.3 miles an hour and running for 30 minutes at 6 miles an hour use the same amount of energy. “The older you are, the less efficient you are with your steps,” Lee says. “Per step, older people use more energy.” Thus, they need fewer steps to achieve the same benefits.Newer studies are moving beyond death rates to ask questions about the way steps may help to control blood pressure and weight. The goal, after all, is not just to live longer but to live healthier. Ful results are not in yet, so Lee’s advice is: “Tailor your steps according to what you are trying to achieve and according to who you are.”4.The concept of taking 10,000 steps daily arises from ______.A.the findings of scientific surveys B.the formation of a Japanese characterC.a marketing trick D.a healthy habit5.What does Lee’s research find?A.Walking step targets vary with age.B.Walking more makes one look younger.C.Old people benefit more from walking longer.D.Reaching 10,000 steps daily appeals to many.6.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The difference in energy consumption among age groups.B.The contrast between the benefits of walking and running.C.The reason for setting different step goals based on age.D.The link between energy consumption and health outcomes.7.What will newer studies focus on?A.How steps change one’s lifestyle.B.How steps affect one’s lifespan.C.How steps reduce death rates.D.How steps boost healthy living.We go through life assuming we’re in charge of our own minds —until temptation (诱惑) strikes. Few things better illustrate how little control we really have. You can know exactly what you should do (decline the second slice of cake or the third cocktail), but that hardly seems to matter when the urge arises. More self-discipline is rarely the answer, though. Instead, if you can understand what’s going on inside your head when temptation comes, you’ll be far better placed to make a healthier choice.Sometimes, you need to push yourself, the idea behind which, in psychology, is to make the better choice the easier choice. (School pupils eat more healthily, it’s been shown, when the salads are within easier reach than the chips.) So, instead of relying on willpower, stop keeping ice creams in your freezer! Use StayFocused or similar apps to block distracting websites. Change your environment, and temptation will be a non-issue.For every person, behind every bad habit, there's a reasonable desire: some people eat or drink too much because they're lonely, or smoke to get a break from a busy schedule. Once you’ve uncovered this underlying need, find a different way to meet it: call a friend; take a coffee break instead of a cigarette break. There’s nothing wrong with the need—only with the way you’recurrently meeting it.It’s a strange truth that we’ll break all sorts of promises to ourselves— yet most of us would never fail to show up at a prearranged meeting with a friend. Involve others in your temptation-resistance efforts, whether it's asking someone to check in weekly to see if you’re sticking to your plan, or never going shopping alone if you’re subject to impulse purchases. Best of all, launch a joint plan, in which two of you decide to give up a bad habit. That turns a challenge into a fun game.8.What does “that” mean in paragraph 1?A.Temptation.B.Self-awareness.C.Choice.D.Self-motivation.9.Which should be a good choice if you feel worn out from a packed timetable?A.Exercise strong willpower over it.B.Keep ice creams within easy reach.C.Use StayFocused to refresh yourself.D.Chat with a friend over a cup of coffee.10.What does the author suggest you do according to paragraph 4?A.Seek partners’ support.B.Leave challenges behind.C.Keep your promises.D.Say no to playing games.11.What is the text mainly about?A.What causes temptation.B.How to keep temptation at bay.C.Why urges set in.D.How to keep life under control.While lifting weights one day, I heard a loud click on my back. I was rushed to the emergency room, where I was told the pain would eventually disappear. It didn’t, however. What I’ve learned about pain since then — both as a patient and as a physician — has me questioning how we treat it.Vania Apkarian, one of the world’s leading pain researchers, told me the classic idea is that pain continues as long as the injury does, but the injury and pain it produces end up being separate. “Although MRIs (核磁共振) are reliable indicators of injury, they are not reliable indicators of pain,” he says. A review of 33 studies found that among a group of 20-year-olds without any backpain, 37 percent had disc degeneration (腰椎间盘退化) on MRI. And in people whose backs hurt, MRI results have absolutely no connection with their pain.This is a really big deal: millions of people in the U.S. alone get MRIs for back pain. Yet 5 percent of them were medically justified, and of those who received MRIs, 65 percent received potentially harmful advice — including calls for risky back surgery that probably wouldn’t have resolved their pain. I could have been one of those people, yet when I took my MRI films to an experienced surgeon, he told me an operation might leave my back worse off.If MRI doesn’t explain long-lasting pains, what does? One major factor is our mentality. A recent trial has revealed the power of therapies (疗法) that target how we think about discomfort. People who are anxious about being in pain are twice as likely to develop long time pain.A thorough examination of pain and its origins should encourage efforts to make sure everyone in pain receives kindness and respect, as well as access to more than pills and surgical procedures. Fully accepting the complexity of pain can open the door to new and innovative ways to ensure that even if we hurt, we don’t have to suffer.12.What does paragraph 2 imply?A.Back pain is not necessarily an emergency case.B.MRI tests can’t give a full picture of one’s condition.C.Minor injuries can lead to severe pain.D.Bone problems begin to bother the young.13.What can we learn from the author’s personal story?A.He found his back surgery medically justified.B.The surgeon misled him about the back injury.C.A surgery might do him more harm than good.D.Being a physician helps him treat his back pain.14.According to the author, what should a patient with long-lasting pain do?A.Consult professionals to receive surgeries.B.Have painkillers as early as possible.C.Take comprehensive MRI examinations.D.Acquire a thorough understanding of the pain.15.What is a suitable title for the text?A.Origins of pain.B.Killers of pain.C.Victims of pain.D.Effects of pain.On a beautiful Saturday morning, I went for a run in the park. I got to about a mile and a half, through rose gardens and around trees. 16 . The next thing I remember was two worried faces looking down at me.They were calling an ambulance, while a black Labrador was licking my face! I felt pain in my back. Later, I learnt the dog chasing a squirrel ran straight into me. I was thrown into the air and landed on my back. My usual run had turned into a trip to a nearby hospital. Luckily, aside from minor injuries, I was OK. 17 : what if it had been a car? How can we ever see these things coming?The truth is that sometimes, life really is out of our control. Then what do we do when it does? First, do a gratitude stocktake (盘点): my friend Denise, would look after my son Jett; gratitude that it was a dog, not a car, and I lived to tell the tale.The next, who and what measures up? These uncontrollable moments in life are also the times when you find the greatest clarity. 18 .The ones that make the effort: show up; come round; be there.19 see it as an opportunity to step back and reassess. Is your time and love focused on the things that truly matter? Are there conversations left unsaid? What do you want to do differently? If it all ended tomorrow, would your life have been well lived? I hope so. 20 ! A.But it crossed my mindB.Unless misfortune falls upon youC.Then I‘m not entirely sure what happenedD.You see the people who are really there for youE.When the breath is literally knocked out of youF.I didn’t expect a Labrador would transform my lifeG.If not, it’s time to start living and watching out for dogs二、完形填空In 2014, Amy collapsed from a brain hemorrhage (脑溢血) while working.

高三英语“英语写作祝您成功”看图写作专题汇编

高三英语“英语写作祝您成功”看图写作专题汇编

全品高考网“英语写作祝您成功”·看图写作专题汇编本系列分全国卷汇编(七个版块)、看图作文汇编、北京卷汇编、山东卷汇编、江苏卷汇编、广东卷汇编,写作占分比例大,考前复习写作效果好!看图作文写作技巧写作是高中英语教学的一项重要内容,是高考英语必考题型之一。

但是,从近几年高考书面表达考查的抽样结果来看,学生的整体情况离预期的水平还有一定的差距,有些考生得分偏低,有些甚至只字未写,或者只言片语,25分的书面表达一分未得。

因此,在高三总复习阶段对写作进行有针对性的训练是非常必要的。

写作的形式分为:提纲要点式或提纲表格式;图画式;图表式。

纵观近十年的高考书面表达命题形式,看图命题是常采用的形式之一。

图的类型也是多样化,有一幅或一组画面(含漫画),有图示(路线图或建筑物位置图),也有分析数据的统计图表、曲线作标图表,同时给出一定的文字说明。

所给题材主要涉及到同学们的日常生活,不仅大家熟悉,而且大多数也是同学们经历的。

这类看图作文命题的目的是考查同学们根据对图画内容的细心观察,充分发挥自己的想象力和理解力,有调理,有重点,生动准确地把图画内容加工成书面语言。

那么,如何根据图画的内容,运用正确的语言和规定的篇幅来写好这类文章呢?1.认真审图,列出要点看图作文的关键,在于看懂图画内容,理解画面意思,因此考生须仔细观察每幅图画所描绘的情景,深刻理解作者通过图画所传达的信息,列出写作的要点。

历年NMET书面表达大都具备6个左右的描述要点。

然后再根据以上所列要点扩点成句,扩句时考生要注意图画所给的时间背景,正确使用人称、时态和语态。

最后组句成文。

2.层次分明,行文流畅组句成文时考生要注意适当地使用一些过渡词(如and,then,but,however,besides,thus,soon,first,second,finally等)以便使图与图之间内容过渡自然,脉络清晰,层次分明。

组句成文时还要求行文的文理通顺,意思连贯与流畅。

It is the best part because the roses talk to us. “Good morning, Cho,” whisper the rose smells to my guide dog’s nose. Now comes the worst part — the unfriendly shape nearby. that shades us: Mr. Groll. As usual, friendly Cho thumped (拍打) her tail. But Cho is just a dog; how can she know that this neighbor does not like me at all?“Hello, Mr. Groll.” I greeted him as I did every morning. And like every other morning, he did not answer me. But I knew he was there, watching, behind his fence.Maybe he’s afraid of me because I’m blind. Disabilities scare grown-ups sometimes. Then I remember: Yesterday I heard him playing checkers with my friend Jimmy, who’s in a wheelchair.Cho and: I marched on, and my thoughts kept step. “Why does Mr. Groll ignore me? He likes roses. I like roses. Why can’t two people who like roses like each other? It’s a mystery to me.” I thought “Maybe he doesn’t like me because I’m a girl.” A skateboard passed by. “Hello, Mai and Cho!” my friend Jana cried. “Hi, Mr. Groll.”I waited. If Mr. Groll ignored Jana, then the mystery was solved. But his voice called out, “Hello, Jana!”The sound of it broke my heart. And I knew something I didn’t know before: Some people who can see can be blind. Sometimes, their hearts don’t see any better than my eyes do. And I also knew that unfriendly Mr. Groll likes Jimmy. And Jana. But not me and Cho.Me and Cho! An idea brightened my mystery.Maybe I did know why Mr. Groll didn’t talk to me!I attached Cho’s rope to a post, and I felt my way along the fence.The gate squeaked (嘎吱) open. “Mai! Be careful!”注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

情态动词和虚拟语气

情态动词和虚拟语气

情态动词和虚拟语气一、问:本考点的命题思路是什么?答:情态动词要注意以下3个方面:1、注重在语言环境中根据说话人的语气来使用情态动词。

2、情态动词表示推测或判断的用法考查。

3、设置场景考查学生熟练使用表示责备等的情态动词加完成时的用法等。

虚拟语气是历年高考的选考考点。

考点常集中在含蓄条件句以及宾语从句中的虚拟语气上。

所设选项常通过谓语动词的特殊形式来表示,而且都是结合具体语境来考查对考点的运用能力。

今后高考对虚拟语气的命题重点仍会是在特定语境中考查虚拟语气中的含蓄虚拟条件句、宾语从句中的谓语动词等。

例1:(08上海卷). According to the air traffic rules, you ___ switch off your mobile phone before boarding.A. mayB. canC. wouldD. should【答案】D。

【题源探究】考查should的基本用法。

【广角思维】句意为“根据航空交通法,有在登机前应该把手机关掉。

”should“应该”符合该句语境所以答案为D。

【易误警示】不能准确地把握该提的语境是考生在做该题时出现的主要错误。

做此类试题时一定要通过语境把握准语境体现出来的说话人的语气和态度。

【悟彻高考】should的其中一种重要用法是:should 作为情态动词,通常用来表示现在或将来的责任或义务,译作“应该”、“应当”,这时它可以和ought to,be supposed to 互换使用。

例如:You should (= are supposed to )complete your test in time.你们应该按时做完你们的实验。

You should (= ought to )tell your mother about it at once.【同类预测】对should的这种用法的考查会比较灵活,也比较常见,有时会利用ought to 来考查该用法。

Move to China!I graduated from the university with a degree of civil engineering. It is a good field but my heart was not in it. I wanted to be an actor or work in the entertainment industry……living a creative life. My choice of civil engineering was really a mistake but I realized too late. As soon as I graduated, I moved straight to Los Angeles- the home of the film and television industry!For three years, I tried to get a job in that field. I often worked as an extra I movies and TV shows-standing in the background while actors are in the foreground. This was fun for a while, but I wanted a real acting job, where I was speaking! Sadly, in Los Angeles, there is too much competition. Every race and age is represented: old, young, black, white, Asian, and thousands of blondish-red haired Midwestern types like me. Being an extra couldn’t make enough money for me to live in LA.I had to do something else for money.After three years of trying, I gave up my dream of being an actor and started a different career. I then tried network-marketing, but in the end, that failed. Seven years after graduating from college, I was still in debt, still searching for a satisfactory life. I decided to go back to civil engineering.However, I was starting to get very disappointed with my life. Why is life not like what I expected? I expected to have made a lot of money, gotten married, with a house and nice cars, kids, time freedom, etc. Millions of people lead lives with their dreams shelved, existing but not really living. I want my life to be different, more satisfactory, more alive. America was not providing that for me…In addition, America was too expensive-always worrying about money was a headache.

It provided a cheap source of calories and was easy to grow, so it liberated workers from the land. Potatoes became popular in the north of England, as people therespecialized in animal farming and home industry, while farmers in the south concentrated on wheat production. By a happy accident, the concentrated industrial activity in the areas and a potato-driven population boom provided enough worker for the new factories. Friedrich Engels even declared that the potato was equal of iron for its “historically revolutionary role”.The potato promoted free trade by contributing to the end of Britain’s Corn Laws, which restricted imports of grain into the United Kingdom in order to protect domestic wheat producers. Landowners supported the laws, since cheap imported grain would reduce their income, but industrialists were against the them because imports would drive down the cost of food, allowing people to spend more on produced goods. Eventually it was not the arguments against the Corn Laws that led to their end-and more’s the pity. It was the tragedy of the Irish potato famine of 1845, in which 1 million Irish lost their lives when the potato crop on which they lived died. The need to import grain to relieve the situation in Ireland forced the government to change its position.This paved the way for free trade in other areas, which became British policy. As the duke of Wellington complained at the time, “Rotten potatoes have done it all.”The UN has declared 2008 the International Year of the Potato. It hopes that greater awareness of the goodness of potatoes will contribute to helping to reduce poverty, improve food security and promote economic development.63.The potato became popular in the north of England partly because________A.it was easy to grow and of low caloriesB.farmers concentrated on wheat productionC.Engels said that it was equal of ironD.people there specialized in animal farming and home industry64.Which of the following information can be inferred from the passage?A.The industrial revolution in England began in the NorthB.The potato did promote economic development.C.The Irish potato famine was a direct cause to end the Corn Laws.D.There was constant argument against the Corn Laws65.The underlined word This in the 3rd paragraph refer to __________A.the Irish potato famineB.the rotten potatoesC.the argument against the Corn LawsD.the government’s change of its position due to the Irish Potato Famine66.The UN declared 2008 the International Year of the Potato in the hope that_________A.more people in the world will like potatoesB.the Irish Potato Famine will be rememberedC.the world knows the potato contributes to solving an international issue povertyD.the whole world start to grow more potatoes to promote economic developmentDA clique is a group of friends who hang out together and act in similar ways. Cliques are common feature of the teen years. Members of a clique usually have certain things in common. For example, they might all be good students. Membership in a clique is limited. Not everyone who wants to belong can join.Cliques can have a positive or negative influence. Because most teens have a strong need to belong, they want to feel that they fit into a group. Cliques can help them meet this need. Sometimes teens feel unsure of themselves, and they use a clique to gain approval of what they wear or how they act.Cliques can become harmful, however, if they pressure members to behave the same way as the group that may damage their health. Cliques may discourage members from making their own decisions, presenting their own opinions, or having other friends who aren’t accepted by the clique. Cliques may even pressure members to act in ways that go against their individual values and beliefs, such as lying to parents or teachers. Cliques can also hurt people outside the group.
