湖南省长沙市第一中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第二次月考英语试题

湖南省长沙市第一中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第二次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解“Unfortunately, 85 percent of what makes us attractive or less to mosquitoes(蚊子) is hardwired in our genetic circuit board,” says Winegard, author of The Mosquito: A Human History of Our Deadliest Predator. Still, there are ways to outsmart summer’s most annoying party crashers, especially if all you want is to enjoy an evening on your patio (露台).Know your blood typeOnly female mosquitoes feed on humans, and for good reason: The proteins in your blood help them grow and mature their eggs. “She’s just being a good mom,” Wineguard says. “People with blood type O are her top of choice. They get bitten twice as much as people with blood type A, with blood type B falling in between.”Stay cool“Mosquitoes hunt by both smell and sight,” Wineguard says. “They can smell the carbon dioxide and see the heat signature of their target.” Avoiding alcohol can keep your body temperature lower— making you harder to find — so consider choosing a cocktail instead.Wear light colorsAvoiding dark clothing can also keep you cooler, but that’s not the only reason it may offer relief. Mosquitoes, like many biting flies, are attracted to darker colors. The thinking behind this is that the animals they typically feed upon are larger, dark-bodied mammals(哺乳动物).Get rid of standing waterEven a glass of drinking water left on the deck can become a breeding ground for mosquito eggs — and mother mosquitoes lay about 100 eggs at a time. “They don’t need very much at all to breed. It can be a backyard toy , like a truck that has a bit of water in it, or a crushed pop can,” says Winegard. If you get rid of it, they’ll go somewhere else to lay their eggs.1.What’s the intention of this text?A.To introduce a new book.B.To offer professional tips.C.To analyze a study of insects.D.To suggest throwing a party.2.Why does a female mosquito feed on human blood?A.To hatch more eggs.B.To raise a large family.C.To identify blood types.D.To fully develop her body.3.What can we learn about mosquitoes according to Winegard?A.They can trace the smell of alcohol.B.They have energy-locating abilities.C.They feed off dark-bodied animals.D.They need abundant water to breed.The Malaysian actress, Michelle Yeoh, 60, shared some wisdom with the American Film Institute’s newest graduating class in a speech as she accepted an honorary doctorate of fine arts at the class of 2022 graduation ceremony.She recalled her early years in the industry. After an injury dashed her dreams of going into ballet, Yeoh bounced back at a gym where several stuntmen(特技替身演员)trained and ended up learning some tricks of the trade from them.“The first thing they taught me what to do was to tuck and roll, then how to fall on my side, and then how to fall on my back. And after a while, it dawned on me that they were teaching me how to fall,” she recalled. “And they said to me, ‘How are you going to go up if you don’t know how to come down?’” “That lesson sticks with me to this day. I had to learn how to fall. Well, you could say I learned it in my bones, literally,” Yeoh added.The actress mentioned jumping off a 20-foot highway overpass for one stunt, in which she over-rotated (旋转), causing her back to fold in half and a stunt went wrong. “I didn’t land properly, but I completed the scene,” she said.“These moments taught me perseverance, courage and humility,” she said. “They also taught me to hone my skills and eventually progress to the point where I was running on rooftops and jumping onto moving trains. I’m not asking you all to do that, okay? What I want to share with you today is that our slips and stumbles(绊跌)are the secrets to our flight. Trust me, that’s part of the deal. Success without failure is called luck. It cannot really be repeated or relied upon. It is from failure that we learn and grow,” Yeoh continued.The Crazy Rich Asians star concluded her speech: “Be courageous, take chances, break barriers, be proud of what makes you unique.” “And most importantly, don’t be afraid to fall, for you are learning to fly,” Yeoh said.4.What can we learn about Michelle Yeoh from the first two paragraphs?A.She was tricked by several stuntmen.B.She was passionate about working out in a gym.C.She won a doctor’s degree in fine arts despite her old age.D.She was terribly defeated by an injury and discouraged in her early years.5.What lesson did Michelle Yeoh learn from the stuntmen?A.God helps those who help themselves.B.Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise.C.Successful people are learning experiences with others.D.The greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.6.What does the underlined word “hone”in paragraph 5 mean?A.Believe.B.Sharpen.C.Restore.D.Dominate. 7.What are the keys to our success according to the text?A.Mistakes and failure.B.Luck and humility.C.Courage and pride.D.Opportunities and skills.“It’s a natural question,”Dr. Holt-Lunstad said the “ideal”number of friends. “Just like we have guidelines and recommendations for the amount of sleep we get and how physically active we are, this is health relevant.” While she and other friendship researchers admit there aren’t many studies that have specifically tackled the question of how many friends people should aim for, those that have been done offer a range.Dr. Degges-white recently conducted a survey of 297 adults, which has not been published or subject to peer review but found that 55 percent of participants believed two to three close friends was ideal, while 31 percent thought four to six was was the goal. But friendship and intimacy are subjective, and there isn’t a widely used scale researchers share to define those concepts across studies. It’s also unclear how social media factors into all of this, as research suggests the size of a person’s online network may not have any meaningful impact on their perceived well-being.While friendship research offers some standards, it may be more useful for most of us to consider if you need more friends. Dr. Marisa Franco recommends starting with a fairly obvious but powerful question: Do I feel lonely? “Also, different people bring out different parts of us. So when you have a larger friend group, you’re able to experience this side of yourself that loves golf, and this side that loves cars,” she added. “If you feel like your identity has sort of shrunk, or you’re not feeling quite like yourself, that might indicate youneed different types of friends.”Of course, making friends in adulthood isn’t always easy. Research shows people struggle with it because they find it difficult to trust new people. For those reasons, it is often easier to start by reawakening old relationships. The amount of time you actually spend with your friends matters, too. Franco suggests that on average, very close friendships tend to take around 200 hours to develop. But spending time with friends you feel ambivalent (情绪复杂的) about — because they’re unreliable, critical, competitive or any of the many reasons people get under our skin — can be bad for your health.8.Which statement would Dr. Holt-Lunstad probably agree with?A.Healthy friendships contribute to quality sleep.B.There have been guidelines for making friends.C.Two to six close friends may be the most ideal.D.Friendships can be crucial factor in well-being.9.How was Dr. Degges-White’s survey?A.It summarized the statistics in previous studies.B.It set standards on the exact number of friends.C.It distinguished between friendship and intimacy.D.It dismissed the influences of social media factors.10.According to Franco, you have to make new friends if _________.A.your friend circle is large enough B.you have a wide range of hobbiesC.your personal identities are restricted D.you lead an unhappy adulthood life 11.What matters in maintaining close friendships according to Franco?A.Quantities of time.B.Meeting frequency.C.Your healthy moods.D.Personalities of friends.Many robots track objects by “sight” as they work with them, but optical (视觉的) sensors can’t take in an item’s entire shape when it’s in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new low-cost technique lets a robotic hand “feel” an unfamiliar object’s form — and skillfully handle it based on this information alone.Roboticist, Xiaolong Wang in University of California, San Diego and his team wanted to find out if complex coordination (协调) could be achieved in robotics using only simple touch data. The researcher attached 16 contact sensors, each costing about $12, to the palmand fingers of a four -fingered robot hand. These sensors simply indicate if an object is touching the hand or not. “While one sensor doesn’t catch much, a lot of them can help you capture different aspects of the object,” Wang says. In this case, the robot’s task was to rotate (旋转) items placed in its palm.The researchers first connected a large volume of touch data as a virtual robot hand practiced rotating objects, including ball. Using binary contact information (“touch” or “no touch”) from each sensor, the team built a computer model that determines an object’s position at every step of the handling process and moves the fingers to rotate it smoothly and stably.Next they transferred this capability to operate a real robot hand, which successfully manipulated (操纵) previously unencountered objects such as apples, tomatoes, soup cans and rubber ducks. Transferring the computer model to the real world was relatively easy because the binary sensor data were so simple; the model didn’t rely on accurate measurements.Digging into what the robot hand perceives, Wang and his colleagues found that it can re-create the entire object’s form from touch data, informing its actions. He and his team are set to present thier handiwork at an international conference called Robotics: Science and Systems.New York University’s Lerrel Pinto, who studies robots’ interactions with the real world, wonders whether the system would become less effective at more complicated tasks including opening a bottle cap. Wang’s group aims to tackle more complex movements in future work as well as to add sensors in places such as the sides of the fingers. The researchers will also try adding vision to improve touch data for handling complicated shapes.12.What may contribute to the ineffectiveness of the optical sensors?A.Poor visibility.B.Blocked roads.C.Complicated tasks.D.Inaccurate calculation.13.What do paragraphs 3-4 focus on?A.Stimulating the robot fingers to move the items steadily.B.Increasing the precision of touch of the robot hand.C.Comparing the computer world with the real circumstances.D.Testing if touch information can facilitate the formation of the object shape. 14.What is the attitude of Lerrel Pinto towards the system?A.Neutral.B.Suspicious.C.Favorable.D.Pessimistic.15.What is the best title for the text?A.Robotics: Science and SystemB.New Robot Rotates Items SkillfullyC.New Robot Hand Works by Feel, Not SightD.From the Computer Model to the Real Robot Hand二、七选五Which is more important for people, book learning or experience? Some have spent their lives studying and gradually acquiring valuable deep knowledge. They are afraid to start andthe book, make mistakes, and learn from this experience.The debate between book learning and experience has been going on for a long time. There is no clear “right answer” yet, but there is strong evidence that experience gives us important skills that can’t be learned in books.17 Of course, reading the best books on learning gives someone knowledge, but experience gives know-how. It comes from practicing again and again. Professionals can make themselves because they devote their work, practice, and time to obtaining this position instead of managing to read books only. This distinguishes them from all the others.Reading more books about something doesn’t lead to success. You can acquire a lot of knowledge by reading, but there are also ways to accumulate knowledge through experience. Knowledge is theoretical, but experience is distinguished by the fact that you can put into practice what you have learned in a book. 18Book learning to understand a concept is important. But if you can’t understand the application of the concept in real time, the concept is useless. Experience allows you to put the learned concepts into practice. 19 You can’t effectively learn important skills without applying these concepts to real life.Certainly, the experience can lead to failure. But you can also learn from that failure and lead to success. 20 Therefore, experience is your greatest ally(盟友) in professional development if you want to understand the theory behind the concept, become an expert inthis field, keep the technique in mind, and gain valuable insights through failure.A.In contrast, others don’t worry about anything.B.You can learn a lot from books on self-learning.C.Of course, with these concepts, experience is acquired.D.This is valuable knowledge that is not found in any book.E.It is also an opportunity to test and challenge your knowledge.F.Through experience, you can also learn how to interact with people.G.Neither scientists nor doctors have read books only and become experts.三、完形填空Growing up in New Delhi, I saw Barbie as more than just a doll. She was the centralbedroom floor.As much as I loved Barbie, our time together could only last so long. Eventually, I grew 23 that I still played with my Barbie dolls while my middle-school friends had all moved onto more “mature” 24 . Barbie became similar with being a fake, “plastic” girl, whose bright pink clothing 25 my friends and me.By the tender age of 12, my friends and I had become 26 all girlish things, and Barbie topped our list of items to grow out of. Every 27 we took up instead seemed either gender-neutral or traditionally masculine (男子气概). For a 28 period I took up watching football to look cool (say exactly a month).Looking back, I feel like we were missing the point: Barbie was simply a blank canvas upon which to draw our ideas. It was our own 29 that we had come to abuse her for wearing pink clothes and having blond hair. That is why I appreciate the way the Barbie movie is being 30 . The movie 31 and Barbie’s bright pink colors are everywhere — there are 100 or more co-brand products, and you can get everything Barbie-pink from sports facilities to make-up and shoes. In Malibu, there is a pink hotel 32 after Barbie’s pink Dream House.In an interview, the director Gerwig said the team had many meetings just to settle on the correct 33 of pink for the movie — one that was beautiful but “not too fashionable”, she said, “because when I was a little girl, I loved the pinkest, brightest things”,without a hint of the 34 that I and my peers had of Barbie all those years ago, which would have been really important to me as an adolescent girl who often felt 35 in her femininity (女子气质).21.A.theme B.character C.argument D.conflict 22.A.assigned B.gathered C.created D.staged 23.A.embarrassed B.satisfied C.curious D.aware 24.A.peers B.hobbies C.ladies D.companies 25.A.involved B.caught C.offended D.connected 26.A.worried about B.passionate for C.content with D.dismissive of 27.A.appointment B.journey C.recreation D.challenge 28.A.difficult B.contemporary C.brief D.spare 29.A.fault B.memory C.experience D.selection 30.A.marketed B.captured C.illustrated D.filmed 31.A.settings B.promotions C.results D.witnesses 32.A.operated B.managed C.organized D.modeled 33.A.symbol B.design C.image D.shade 34.A.imagination B.judgment C.ignorance D.appreciation 35.A.interrupted B.sympathetic C.unsettled D.familiar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。

Learning these skills changed your life forever and opened up new horizons.Learning about computers can be like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car.Once you have invested the time to master the skills, you will never go back to the old days.The new technology is simply too convenient and too powerful.Technological developments through the years have enabled us to do more with less effort.We have continuously looked for better ways of doing things.Each invention and new development has allowed us to extend our capabilities.Today we see one of the most dramatic technologies ever developed ---the computer.It extends the capabilities of our minds.Computers have saved organizations millions of dollars.Furthermore, these same computer systems have opened up new opportunities that would have gone undiscovered or neglected.The computer may multiply what we can do, and the return on investment is high.The growth of computer usage is surprising.On the other hand, the computer can do serious damage.Invasion of privacy, fraud(欺诈), and computer-related mistakes are just a few shocking examples.The computer is like a double-edged sword.It has the ability to cut us free from some activities, but it can also cut deep into profits, personal privacy, and our society in general.How it is used is not a function of technology.It is strictly a function of how people decide to use or misuse this new technology.The choice is yours, and only through a knowledge of computer systems will you be able to avoid the dangers while enjoying the many, many benefits of the computer age.69.The writer thinks learning about computers is like learning how to ride a bike or drive a carbecause ________.A.it is simple and practical B.it needs a lot of practiceC.it leads people to new life experiences D.it takes much time to master the skills 70.According to the passage, computers bring people the following benefits except ________.A.avoiding mistakes B.saving moneyC.making money D.opening up opportunities71.According to the writer, the bad effects of computers can be avoided if we ______.A.have sound knowledge of computer systemsB.tell people not to misuse computersC.have strict rules over the use of computersD.make more investments in the technology(C)Reality television is a type of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted(无剧本的) dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and features ordinary people rather than professional actors.It could be described as a form of artificial or “heightened” documentary.Although the type has existed in some form or another since the early years of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around .Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats(格式).Two reality series — Survivor and American Idol — have been the top-rated series on American television for an entire season.Critics say that the term “reality television” is somewhat improper and that such shows frequently portray an adapted and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in unusual locations or abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events on screen manipulated(操控) through editing and other post-production techniques.Part of reality television’s appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations.For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an ordinary male dates a dozen women at the same time, travelling on extraordinary dates to different places.Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities(名人), outwardly in talent and performance programmes such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also reach some degree of celebrity.Some people say that the name “reality television” is an inaccurate description for several styles of programme included.In competition-based programmes such as Big Brother and Survivor, and other special-living-environment shows like The Real World, the producers design the format of the show and control the day-to-day activities and the environment, creating a completely fabricated world in which the competition plays out.Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts.Mark Burnett, creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed with this assessment, and avoids the word “reality” to describe his shows; he has said, “I tell good stories.It really is not reality TV.It really is unscripted drama.”72.From the passage we can learn that Reality television ________.A.came into being in the 21th century B.tells real stories about ordinary peopleC.is all about competition and conflicts D.is very popular among the audience73.Reality TV attracted a large audience mainly because ________.A.it enables men to date with different womenB.it takes place in unusual or abnormal situationsC.it shows exceptional experience of average peopleD.it turns all participants into superstars74.The word “fabricated” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.A.actual B.impersonalC.isolated D.fictional75.The author writes this article to ________.A.analyze the present situation of reality televisionB.compare reality television with other forms of TV programmesC.reveal some of the unknown features of reality televisionD.criticize reality television for deceiving the publicSection C.Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachfour hoursof an educationaladventure.Observingrehabilitating Sea Turtles, lab experiments, taking our Exhibit Gallery challenge, and learning from educational beach activities are a unique and fun way to educate all ages about the fragile environment in Florida.We require a 1 to 10 ratio of chaperones to students.All chaperones within that ratio are free.The fee is $3 per student and $6 per any extra adult chaperones.The fee includes a three and a half hour program with interactive activities for the students.Payment should be made upon the arrival to the Marine Science Center.Please make checks payable to: County of Volusia Marine Science Center..The students must be divided into groups of ten prior to arrival to the center.The students will be rotated throughout all of the activities provided.The Marine Science Center is locatedThe Marine Science Center is located at 100 Lighthouse Drive in Ponce Inlet.If arriving by bus, please stop the bus on the north (right) side of Lighthouse Drive directly across from the Marine Science Center entrance sign.Students will be escorted up the main sidewalk to the front entrance of the Marine Science Center.If arriving by separate cars, please park in the main parking lot to the right on Lighthouse Drive.Take the boardwalk to the Marine Science Center.The bus must be available to take students to and from the Marine Science Center and Lighthouse Point Park during the field trip for beach activities.Upon arrival the driver will get specific instructions on your program schedule.Section D.Directions: Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than ten words:Just Ask GrandmaWe read and hear a lot about healthy eating in newspapers and on TV nowadays.Experts and nutritionists tell us what to eat, when to eat and how to eat to stay healthy, Some of their advice seems reasonable.Some just sounds strange.Who can we rely on?Well, ask yourself another question: How did people choose foods and stay healthy before there were nutrition experts? We relied on culture, which is another way of saying: on tradition and common sense.All of us carry around rules of thumb about eating that have been passed down in our families or plucked(采集)from culture.Earlier this year, US writer Michael Pollen posted a request about these rules on The New York Times website.Within days, he received more than 2,500 responses.Not all of them have stood the test of time or been confirmed by science, but all of them have something to teach us, Pollen said.Here are some of Pollen’s favorites:●My parents are both from Italy, and one of our family rules was that you could not leave thetable until you had finished your fruit.It was a great way to put fruit into our diets and also helped satiate(满足)our sweet tooth, keeping us away from less healthful sweets.– Marta C.Larusso●From my Romanian grandmother: “Breakfast, you should eat alone.Lunch, you should sharewith a friend.Dinner, give to your enemy.” – Irina A.Dumitrescu●Don’t eat anything that took more energy to ship than to grow.– Carrie Cizauskas●“It’s better to pay the grocer(食品商)than the doctor” was the saying that my Italiangrandmother would frequently use to remind us of the love and attention to detail that went in to her cooking – John Forti●If you are not hungry enough to eat an apple, then you are not hungry.– Emma Fogt●“Make and take your own lunch to work.” My father has always done this, and so have I.Itsaves money and you know what you are eating.– Hope Donovan Rider●Never eat something that is pretending to be something else, e.g.: chocolate-flavor sauce thatdoesn’t contain chocolate.– Sonya Legg81.Other than health experts, which other sources are there for us to turn to for advice on diet?82.What does the underlined sentence imply?83.According to Marta C.Larusso, we can both satiate our sweet tooth and keep away from lesshealthful sweets by_________________________________84.What did John Forti’s grandmother mean when she said, “It’s better to pay the grocer than thedoctor.”?第II卷(45分)I.Translation (20% )Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the word or phrase given in the brackets.1.游客只有乘坐直升飞机才能到达山顶。

Below, she recommends other novels shaped by place.The MeadowJames Galvin (1992).Galvin narrows his novel’s focus to a river in south-eastern Wyoming, the site of three generations’ struggle and achievements. “I often find myself reading each sentence twice, just to enjoy the unexpected twists of Galvin’s prose (散文). ”What Is Not Yours Is Not Y oursHelen Oyeyemi (2016).Everything about this story collection delights and puzzles the soul, in a way of experiencing the terrifying fairy tale for the first time. Each story feels like working around you in a kind of harmony you can’t even begin to comprehend until the final line.Orange WorldKaren Russell (2019).“Every new book of Russell’s instantly takes its previous book’s place as my favorite.” Place, in each of these time-jumping, world-warping stories — which unfold a map of place both real and imagined — provides physical, social, and emotional pressures on both character and reader.The Bluest EyeToni Morrison (1970).“Morrison’s novel remains my favorite, possibly owing to the particular feelings produced by its place and personhood, and its suggestion that how you experience the world is governed by age, race, and whether or not one grows up loved.”36.What do the four novels have in common?A.They have similar plots.B.They are shaped by place.C.They have the same background.D.They are written by Téa Obreht.37.Which of the statements is true about What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours?A.It fills the reader’s heart with terror.B.It’s a story collection without harmony in each story.C.It’s a prose authored by Helen Oyeyemi.D.The harmony in it can not be understood until the end.38.How does Téa Obreht evaluate Karen Russell and her Orange World ?A.It takes on a dynamic and mysterious atmosphere.B.The reader feels their pressures taken off when they read it.C.Téa always likes Karen’s new book better than her previous one.D.It presents social conflicts in different times and worlds.39.What do you know about The Bluest Eye from the last paragraph?A.Its place and personhood impress Téa Obreht a lot.B.It advocates ecological balance in nature.C.It suggests a connection between love and success.D.Age and gender impact how you experience the world.I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer since I graduated from high school. But making the transition between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class beforenever seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear.When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale now ring true.These lessons I’m learning, however precious, are always tinged (带有) with a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. “This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading,” she added.My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.40.How did the author look back on his summer days while at college?A.They brought him nothing but torture.B.They were no holiday for him at all.C.They were a relief from his hard work at school.D.They offered him a chance to know more people.41.Which of the following is closest to the underlined word “torture” in the first paragraph?A.Misery.B.Fortune.C.Anxiety.D.Availability. 42.What does the author say about college students?A.They expect too much from the real world.B.They have little interest in blue-collar life.C.They think too highly of themselves.D.They are confident about their future.43.What, according to the author, is most frustrating for blue-collar workers?A.They do not get decent pay.B.They do not have job security.C.They have to work 12-hour shifts.D.They have to move from place to place.44.Why does the author feel somewhat guilty?A.He realizes there is a great divide between his life and that of blue-collar workers.B.He looks down upon the mechanical work at the assembly line.C.He has not done much to help his co-workers at the factory.D.He has stayed at school just for the purpose of escaping from the real world.45.In what important way has the author’s work experience changed him?A.He learned to be more practical.B.He acquired a sense of urgency.C.He came to respect blue-collar workers.D.He came to appreciate his college education.Dreams, according to Carl Jung, reveal a certain amount of reality hidden during waking consciousness. In Jungian philosophy, the conflict and chaos experienced in dreams finally bring order to our lives. While Jung’s mystical theories are debatable, he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming. A growing number of reports show that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways.This trend is causing damage to our immune and metabolic systems, let alone the electronic products that keep us up late at night are ruining our sleep patterns, which has long-term consequences on our memory system. One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the stage in which we dream, the mice couldn’t strengthen memories.You might think this is just a sleep problem, but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest. We sleep in cycles, each lasting about 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle, we go through non-REM sleep before hitting REM. As the night progresses, REM sleep periods increase in length while deep sleep (one of the stages of non-REM sleep) decreases. The longer we sleep, the more time we spend in REM, which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning. If we sleep less than seven hours, however, it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM.The combination of sleeping and dreaming acts as an emotional stabilizer. We recover from emotional hurt faster when we sleep and dream properly. However, we’re not getting enough sleep to cycle through the stages to take advantage of this natural circadian anti-depressant (抗抑郁剂) — dreams. Instead, we get depressed and turn to alcohol or medicines to get to sleep, which only makes things worse because even one drink leads to late REM while anti-depressants promote deep sleep at the expense of REM.We’re paying for this lack of dreaming in many ways. For example, a 2021 study stated that compared with quiet rest and non-REM sleep, REM promoted the formation of associative networks and the integration of unassociated information. V olunteers thatexperienced more REM sleep were better equipped for solving problems requiring innovative solutions.Rowan Hooper, the managing editor at New Scientist, writes that dreams that include an “emotional core” appear to be a main function of REM sleep and that we should look at sleep patterns as seriously as we do diet and exercise habits.46.What’s Carl Jung’s view about dreams?A.They cause chaos.B.They damage immunity.C.They reveal secrets.D.They mirror reality.47.Why is the sleep process explained in Paragraph 3?A.To show a dream mainly occurs during REM sleep.B.To prove the minimum sleep time should be seven hours.C.To prove dream problems and sleep problems are attached.D.To show people often dream when waking up in the morning.48.Which of the following statements is true according to the author?A.Deep sleep is one of the stages of REM sleep.B.Adequate REM sleep contributes to a better memory.C.A sound sleep without dreams brings about stable emotions.D.The longer we sleep, the less time we spend in REM.49.What conclusion can be inferred from Paragraph 5?A.Dreaming promotes creativity.B.Dreaming helps fight depression.C.The brain still receives new information during REM sleep.D.The brain is paying the price for having more non-REM sleep.50.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.The importance of sleep lies in dreams.B.The absence of dreams is terrible for us.C.Dreaming patterns are more important than we realize.D.Dreaming has mystical power of strengthening memories.Many years ago, I bumped into an old friend of mine. He had devoted his life to acting but had never been quite successful. In his middle age, he seemed defeated and sad.I thought of his dogged perseverance. Was it smart or foolish? What could he haveachieved? Had he quit his dream of acting and moved on? Our culture does not look kindly upon quitting. Failure is perfectly acceptable as long as it eventually results in success.We chant “Winners never quit” and “If at first you don’t succeed, try again.” We lap up stories of persistence, of the author who submitted stories for years before her novels were published or of the athlete who trained since childhood to win gold at the Olympics.Persistence pays off when it is rewarded with success, but it does not reward every person. For every JK Rowling, there are thousands of aspiring writers who will never get published. For every Olympic athlete, there are innumerable others who trained every day of their lives and never made the cut.We all agree that doing the same things and expecting a different result is unwise. So why do we believe that persevering through failure after failure is a good idea? We consider quitting in the face of failure to be weak. We believe that perseverance is the key to success. Perseverance is only one part of success. You need talent or skill, as well as passion and drive. Luck and timing are also key to any great success.Our society believes that anything is possible, as long as you “believe”. But not everyone can make it. Quitting when you’ re not ahead is sometimes the smartest thing to do. Obviously, if you enjoy a pursuit, regardless of its outcome, you should continue. If you knew your novel would never be published, would you want to write? If you could never be a champion swimmer, would you still train? Sometimes, it is wise to put your energy into something else.Failure is not always the path to success. Sometimes, failure is the door to something new.51.What do we know about the author’s old friend?A.He was dissatisfied with his acting performance.B.He switched his dream of acting to something else.C.He failed in acting because of a lack of persistence.D.He failed in all attempts to become a successful actor.52.The author mentioned JK Rowling mainly to ______.A.explain how she achieved success in writingB.show that success doesn’t happen to everyoneC.prove that success favors those who are perseverantD.encourage readers to pursue their dream until they succeed53.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase in paragraph 4?A.Held on to their dreams.B.Met the required standard.C.Improved their performances.D.Promised to be good players.54.What does the author advise us to do if we’ve failed many times?A.Make an effort to try new things.B.Stick to your goal until we succeed.C.Wait for the right time and good luck.D.Ask friends or family members for help.55.Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?A.Stick to your dream--anything is possibleB.Perseverance: the secret to successC.Flexibility vs. PerseveranceD.Perseverance-the only access to success?四、阅读表达阅读表达Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs? There are two primary reasons. First, some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their true talents.If this is the case with you, recall your last long vacation. Was it two weeks of complete enjoyment? More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun, with another half a week of “Boy, I can’t wait to get back to work.” If you didn’t feel such vacation blues, then imagine taking a leave of absence. You could use it to work on a novel, attend classes or just sit around watching TV. At the end of three months, in all likelihood, your self-respect would be at an all-time low. While all work and no play are not good, all play and no work are disastrous. We need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some form of order in our lives.The second and perhaps more common reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped. Once you’ve been at a company for five years and get married, have amortgage and a child, you often feel you have very little choice about jumping ship if things aren’t turning out as you’d planned. A steady paycheck can be the biggest restrict of all. People hate having to do something because they have no other choice.If you find yourself hating your job, your option takes the form of an up-to-date resume. You might also take a weekly glance through the help-wanted section, and make some visits to industry functions where low-key networking can take place. You’re not giving up on your current job. Rather, you are providing yourself with an option. If things get unbearable at work, you could jump ship.At the core of adopting a positive attitude to your workplace is, above all, assuming responsibility for your own situation. Most people feel controlled by their environment, but they really aren’t. They have to learn to manage that environment so they can get from it what they need.56.What are people likely to do after a long vacation according to the author? (No more than 10 words)57.What can people get from work according to the second paragraph? (No more than 10 words)58.How do you interpret the underlined word in the last paragraph? (One word)59.What do you think is the main idea of the passage? (No more than 15 words)60.What will you do if you hate your job one day in the future? (No more than 20 words)五、其他应用文61.假设你是李津,10月26日中午12:30你校在校园举办了“凉山义卖”活动,为四川凉山的贫困孩子们筹款。

江苏省丹阳高级中学2024届高三下学期2月月考英语试卷(含答案)

江苏省丹阳高级中学2024届高三下学期2月月考英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________ 一、阅读理解The Self-Portrait ChallengeHave you ever done a self-portrait in an art lesson at school? Today, we’re challenging you to write self-portrait poems. It’s not uncommon to feel like the way people see you on the outside doesn’t quite match up with how you feel on the inside. So creating a self-portrait can be a good opportunity to address those differences and present the realest, truest version of yourself.Your challenge is to create a self-portrait in lines, using words instead of paint. Read on for some more inspiration.Writing Tips● Have a go at writing a list of metaphors exploring your physical appearance, starting from your head and working your way down towards your feet.● Instead of representing yourself directly, take on another character, such as a fictional character, a historical figure, or even a different version of yourself.● Play around with personification, by taking on the voice of a physica l object in your poem. Think about what a self-portrait from the point of view of a mirror, or a bowl of your favourite food would look like?How to enterThis challenge is for writers aged up to 25 based anywhere in the world. The deadline is 23:59 GMT, 17 March 2024. You can send a poem, or poems, written down, or as video orto make a free Submittable account to submit in this way. Using Submittable helps our team to administrate and process entries more quickly. Selected poets will be published on Young Poets Network.1.What does the Self-portrait Challenge encourage participants to do?A. Explore true selves.B. Convey positive emotions.C.

Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest; a competition she won last year.As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the con test again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.An enligh tenment came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into mine without even realizing it.Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用) my daughter’s experience.While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.4.What do we learn from the first paragraph?A. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities.B. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing.C. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time.D. A lot of distractions compete for children’s time nowadays.5.What does the author say about her own writing experience?A. She does not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.B. Her way to success is full of pains and frustrations.C. She is constantly under pressure of writing more.D. Most of her stories are rejected by publishers.6.Why does Rebecca wan t to enter this year’s writing contest?A. She wants to share her story with readers.B. She believes she possesses real talent for writing.C. She is sure of winning with her mother’s help.D. She has won a prize in the previous contest.7.What’s the author’s advice for parents?A. A writing career is not for every child to pursue.B. Children should be allowed room to grow through experiences.C. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in.D. Children should be given every chance to voice their options.Andrea Lankford quit her job after spending 12 years as a National Park Service forester specializing in search and rescue missions in scenic and remote American landscapes. However, decades later, three young hikers went missing on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). She found herself unable to turn away from the three separate cases despite challenges in the inquiry into them.Trail of the Lost was her answer.It’s an absorbing nonfiction narrative (叙事) about the three hikers, including their lives and those of the people looking for them. It also explores the history of the PCT and the rich subculture, practices and even literature that surround it and those who undertake the 2,650-mile journey.The book is a rich multilayered narrative that works on three different levels. The first is the story of each of the three hikers. Lankford offers a biography (传记) of each of the missing men and shows them through the eyes of those who knew them well and those who joined the search.Right underneath the narratives about the three hikers are the stories of everyone looking for them. Lankford played a role in each search but she allowed friends, family and even strangers to occupy center stage throughout most of the narrative. The story looks at the role of missing person Facebook groups in the searches and how crucial word of mouth can be. Many warm-hearted individuals came forth and became instrumental in the searches orprovided valuable information. But Lankford also writes of the many who lied for no apparent reason and confused the investigations.The narrative also shines a light on diverse aspects of the PCT. Lankford, who has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail and was the first person to mountain bike the 800-mile Arizona Trail, knows just how the PCT is physically and mentally demanding. Besides, the book explores threats from mountain lions to people with bad intentions who don’t observe the PCT’s unspoken moral rules, serving as a revelation of the well-known, hidden or ignored dangers of the PCT.Written with a clear, fast-paced, straightforward style, Trail of the Lost is as full of hope and humanity as it is packed with pain, sorrow, danger and tension. Read it and you’ll find more than you seek.8.What led Lankford to write Trail of the Lost?A. Her love for her prior career.B. Her strong attachment to the PCT.C. The stress from the missing families.D. Her investigation into hikers’ disappearance.9.What is presented on the second level of the book?A. Efforts by different people in searches.B. A string of wilderness survival tips.C. Approaches to information classification.D. Respective stories of the three hikers.10.What’s the purpose of mentioning Lankford’s previous adventures?A. To promote her book.B. To make her a celebrity.C. To motivate hikers to challenge themselves.D. To stress the difficulty of hiking the PCT.11.What can we say about the book?A. It targets single youth.B. It’s a romantic novel.C. It’s based on actual events.D. It’s a detailed account of a journey.The idea that we need to eat meat to get enough protein and iron is a common misconception. It ignores the abundance of protein and iron in many plant-based foods. Likewise, while we typically associate omega-3 fatty acids with fish, fish themselves absorb these into their tissue by eating seaweed, which we can consume directly without theconcerns of exposure to microplastics in fish flesh.Indeed, a whole-food, plant-based diet can provide all essential nutrients except for vitamin B12. While modern sanitation (卫生) allows humans to consume clean produce unpolluted by dirt, we can easily and cheaply obtain oral B12 supplements (补充).Obviously, significantly reducing our consumption of meat would carry vast benefits. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death around the world. Eating highly processed foods and red meat has been repeatedly demonstrated to promote underlying mechanisms of cancer and cardiovascular disease, such as inflammation(炎症)and damage to the lining of blood vessels (血管).Mounting evidence points to the benefits of a whole-food, plant-based diet. Studies from 2017found that a vegetarian diet is associated with a 25 percent relative risk reduction for coronary heart disease and an 8 percent relative risk reduction for cancer, with a vegan diet related to a 15 percent relative risk reduction for cancer.Besides harming ourselves, eating meat harms others. Factory farming practices oftenOvercrowding of livestock and workers promotes the spread of disease among both people and animals, putting us all at risk for future pandemics. The overuse of antibiotics (抗生素) to accelerate animal growth and precautiously treat the infections anticipated as a result of living in unclean and overcrowded conditions can promote antibiotic resistance.While national and international action is undoubtedly needed to fight immoral factory farming practices, educators and policy makers should consider the importance of acting as role models for healthy behaviors themselves as well as advocating for policies that ensure better nutritional access and education for others. All of these should not be excuses for individuals to resist changes in their own lives and communities. Societies change only when enough individuals within them alter their behavior.12.The author writes the first two paragraphs mainly to ______.A. introduce a false belief in nutrition sourceB. compare the differences between two dietsC. highlight the importance of nutrition intakeD. show the concerns of healthy diet advocates13.Which of the following logic chains is reasonable according to the passage?A.B.C.D.14.What does the underline d word “entail” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. escape.B. involve.C. balance.D. overcome. 15.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. A Meatless Diet Is Better for YouB. Food Problems Call for Joint EffortsC. Say No to Processed Meat ConsumptionD. Eatable Greens or Not? That Is a Question二、七选五16.We humans are comparison creatures. ①________ This quality may have evolved as a means of helping us fit into the social hierarchy (等级) of the cultures we inhabited. Regardless of the reasons, social comparison plays a significant role in how we view and evaluate ourselves, and how we interact with our world.It used to be that our primary reference of comparison was our local communities, primarily neighbors and co-workers. Because we tend to gather around those similar to ourselves in terms of educational level, work income, and shared interests, the range of differences when we compared ourselves to others was fairly small. Unfortunately, with the emergence of the Internet, we can now compare ourselves to literally anyone in the world. ②________ What had in previous generations been a small gap in our comparisons has now become so large and unattainable.③________ When so many people that are easily discoverable on the Internet seem to be so successful. famous, influential and beautiful, given our preference to compare, it is difficult not to have it influence how we view ourselves. Sadly, these comparisons usually result in our feeling inadequate and “less than”.These harmful comparisons also damage our emotional lives. When we feel lacking, we experience a variety of unpleasant and unhealthy emotions. We feel jealousy and envy for what others have and what we lack. ④________It’s one thing to realize that you compare yourself to others. It’s another thing to recognize that social comparison is often corrosive (逐步侵蚀的) to you in so many ways psychologically and emotionally. It’s an entirely other thing to stop yourself from comparing yourself to others. ⑤________A. We are constantly measuring ourselves against other people.B. Yet it is possible, and it is worth the effort for your mental health.C. Thus, we are now exposed to groups that are quite different from us.D. We believe that there is something wrong with us compared to others.E. We can even feel bitterness and anger at others for the unfairness of it all.F. Comparing ourselves to others has the potential to increase our life experience.G. This new level of comparison has huge implications for our psychological lives.三、完形填空(15空)“A new student is waiting in your room.” My principal announced. “Name’s Mary.

河北省衡水市2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次调研考试(9月月考)英语试题

河北省衡水市2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次调研考试(9月月考)英语试题一、阅读理解Below are some strategies that can be employed in class to engage students in learning activities.Think — Pair — ShareThis technique is popular in the lower elementary grades to encourage speaking and listening skills. First, ask students to think about their response to a question, and then ask them to pair up with another person, usually someone nearby. The pair discuss their response, and then they share that response with a larger group.FishbowlA fishbowl is organized with two four student groups who sit facing each other in the center of the room. All the other students sit in a circle around them. Those students seated in the center discuss the question. Students on the outside circle take notes. In a variation, students on the outside may provide quick notes known as “fish food” by passing them to students on the inside for use in their discussion.Concentric CirclesOrganize students into two circles, one outside circle and one inside circle so that each student on the inside is paired with a student on the outside. The teacher poses a question to the whole group. Each pair discuss how to respond. After this brief discussion, the students on the outside circle move one space to the right. This will mean each student will be part of a new pair. The teacher can have them share the results of that discussion or pose a new question.PyramidStudents begin this strategy in pairs and respond to a discussion question with a single partner. At a signal from the teacher, the first pair join another pair which creates a group of four. These groups of four share their ideas. Next, the groups of four move to form groups of eight in order to share their best ideas. This grouping can continue until the whole class is joined up in one large discussion.1.Which strategy can a teacher adopt if he doesn’t want all the students to speak?A.Think — Pair — Share.B.Fishbowl.C.Concentric Circles.D.Pyramid.2.What’s a unique aspect of Concentric Circles?A.Students change partners.B.Students respond to a question.C.Students pass notes to each other.D.Students take turns to present their ideas. 3.How does Pyramid work?A.Best ideas are collected for a presentation.B.One group combines with another with each step.C.The whole class work together to carry out a project.D.Groups of four move around the classroom to share ideas.Malonga was born in Brazzaville, Congo, where his grandmother owned a restaurant. His love for food and cooking started there. He spent his teenage years in Germany and he started his career working in top European restaurants.In 2015, he competed in the French Top Chef TV show as the first Black chef to do so. When it came time to open his own restaurant, he took a two - year tour of the African continent, seeking inspiration.He opened Meza Malonga in 2020. Dinners at Meza Malonga have no menu — the meal changes based on seasonally available ingredients(食材)and what’s exciting Malonga at the moment. Giant windows open onto the hills of Kigali. The chefs present each course. There’s nobody yelling(大喊), “Yes chef!” and Malonga pointedly refers to “our restaurant… our menu… our project.” His longest employee is Frank Buhigiro, who says “The way we work is like we are family. You know, we don’t have pressure because we get time to think and create.”The restaurant is only open for eight months out of the year. For the other four months, Malonga and his team travel the continent. They experience different African cuisines first - hand, and source unique ingredients. But it’s more driven, more intense, than just sourcing. Malonga has visited 48 African countries, eating his way across the continent. Upon returning to Kigali, he brings back new flavors as souvenirs(纪念品). He describes new tastes like a shiny new toy. “Right now, I’m eating cassava leaves — I love it!”Malonga wants to carve out a space for African food in the global fine dining scene. Something he thinks is increasingly possible based on how people travel. Now, he says, people book trips not based on where they sleep, but where they eat.4.What gave Malonga his early inspiration for his career?A.A European cooking show.B.A famous chef in Germany.C.His book about African cuisine.D.His grandmother’s restaurant.5.In what way is Meza Malonga unique?A.It combines dining with traveling.B.It has a fixed menu that never changes.C.Diners can choose their own ingredients.D.The chefs present each course to the diners.6.What’s the working atmosphere like in Meza Malonga?A.Easy and simple.B.Warm and relaxing.C.Formal but exciting.D.Positive but tense.7.What is the main purpose of Malonga and his team’s travels across Africa?A.To enhance their team spirit.B.To search for designs for toy souvenirs.C.To experience cuisines and source ingredients.D.To seek suitable locations for opening new restaurants.Ernesto Gomez’s journey into ornithology (鸟类学) began with a childhood encounter with scarlet macaws as they flew past him in the green rainforest of Chiapas, Mexico. This experience fired a lifelong passion for birds and conservation, leading him to specialize in ornithology and join Pronatura Península deY ucatán (PPY), an environmental conservation group in Mexico.Gomez’s work is supported by Fish and Wildlife Service grant programs that improves wetland habitats for migratory birds and promotes environmental education and research. One of Gomez’s key projects involves restoring and managing wetland habitats in the Yucatan Peninsula, which has led to the return of several species. These efforts not only support bird populations butalso reduce the vulnerability of coastal communities by improving their capacity to adapt to environmental risks.Community engagement is central to PPY’s success, with the annual Toh Festival being a key example. This festival, named after a bird of cultural significance, hosts a variety of bird-related activities from March to November, including birding marathons, photo expeditions (探险), contests, tours, and workshops. These events inspire community members to appreciate and protect the region’s rich biodiversity.As a nature photographer, Gomez approaches his work with respect for the wildlife, aiming to remain careful to avoid disturbing the birds.

Despite lacking chlorophyll, which is used to photosynthesize(光合作用), these trees have managed to survive, puzzling researchers for over a century. However, a recent study by biologist Zane Moore from the University of California in Davis may have uncovered the secret to their existence.Redwoods rank among the tallest organism on earth and claim an existence of some 3,500 years. They are known for their complex root systems that allow them to communicate and share nutrients during tough times. Researchers have seen this firsthand by introducing dye to trees on one side of an area of redwoods and tracing it all the way to the further reaches. In summer, they become more independent, and those unable to sustain themselves are cut off from the shared system in the autumn needle drop.So, if albino red woods can’t photosynthesize, why are they able to stick around? Moore’s research suggests that albino redwoods survive by tapping into the communal root system and absorbing sugars from healthier neighbors. Contrary to the belief that they are parasites(寄生植物), Moore’s findings indicate a symbiotic(共生) relationship.Albino redwoods tend to grow in less healthy conditions and have been found to contain high levels of poisonous heavy metals in their leaves. Moore theorizes that these trees are not only surviving but also serving a purpose by acting as a “reservoir(水库) for poison”, thus protecting their healthier counterparts. This discovery could potentially make it possible to use albino redwoods in polluted areas to safeguard other trees.The study highlights the interconnectedness of trees and their ability to look out for one another, forming bonds and even recognizing their offspring. Moore’s research emphasizes the importance of considering the entire community of trees, rather than focusing on individuals, to understand what’s happening in the forest.12.What can be learned about redwoods?A.They depend on each other for nutrition in tough times.B.They have unusually strong roots that can reach very far.C.How they photosynthesize has puzzled researchers for long.D.How they communicate among individuals remains a secret.13.How do albino redwood s survive?A.They become parasites of other tree species.B.They rely on the fallen needles for their growth.C.They have developed an alternative method of photosynthesis.D.They absorb sugars from the root system of healthier redwoods.14.What role do albino redwood s play in the forest ecosystem?A.They transport water for the forest.B.They act as a source of food for other plants.C.They protect other redwood trees by absorbing poison.D.They are responsible for the reproduction of the redwood species.15.What’s the best title of the text?A.Albino Redwoods May be the Result of PollutionB.Albino Redwoods May Survive to Help Nearby TreesC.Symbiotic Relationship is Built among Albino RedwoodsD.Researchers Discovered Complex Root System of Albino RedwoodsMischief Night, also known by various names like Devil’s Night and Cabbage Night, is a tradition that has changed over time in the United States and Canada. Historically, Halloween pranks(恶作剧)were performed on October 31st. 16 However, by the 1920s and 1930s, these pranks changed into more serious acts of destruction, possibly due to the social tensions of the Great Depression.In an effort to deal with this destructive behavior, parents and community leaders encouraged the tradition of trick-or-treat. 17 This shift effectively moved the mischief from October 31st to October30th.The custom of Mischief Night is particularly popular in areas with a history of Irish and Scottish immigration, such as the northeastern United States and English-speaking communities inCanada. 18According to a Cambridge Online Survey of World Englishes, 74% of Americans surveyed do not have a specific name for this night. 19 East Michigan referred to it as Devil’s Night, parts of New Jersey and New York as Mischief Night, and Washington State as Devil’s Eye. A similar study conducted by Harvard University a decade ago revealed other names like Gate Night, which involved opening farmers’ gates to let livestock roam free.20 The term Cabbage Night, for instance, originates from an old Scottish tradition where young women would use cabbages in fortune- telling rituals on All Hallows’ Eve, leading to a tradition of throwing cabbages at neighbors’ homes. Despite the decline in the use of specific names, Mischief Night continues to be a part of local traditions.A.Yet, regional names do exist.B.They offered candy to children in costumes as an alternative.C.The origins of these names have long been a topic of discussion.D.They involved light - hearted tricks such as throwing eggs at houses.E.Children had great fun but parents were concerned about the serious destruction.F.The data suggest that the specific names for this night are gradually fading away. G.However, it is less common in the South, West, and French-speaking regions of Canada.二、完形填空My friend Julie and I had completed an incredibly complicated set of instructions which led us to our comfortable room in Tokyo.
