Recent development has made possiblemachines that print, cook, and serve foods o n a mass scale. And the industryisn’t stopping there.Food productionWith a 3D printer, a cook canprint complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on awedding cake. Not everybody can do that — it takes years of experience, buta printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to”re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly thesame,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, allof the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table.SustainabilityThe global population is expectedto grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food productionwill need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainabilityis becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to thesolution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids from plentiful renewables like algae and grass to replace the familiar ingredients. 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock “food” that lasts years on end, freeing upshelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.NutritionFuture 3D food printers couldmake processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University,said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customizednutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterday’sbread from the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you ondemand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, mostingredients must be changed to a paste before a printer can use them,and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interactwith each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D foodprinters now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk productsmay easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believingthey are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-endrestaurants.(1)What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?A . It helps cooks to create new dishes.B . It saves time and effort in cooking.C . It improves the cooking conditions.D . It contributes to restaurant decorations.(2)What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3?A . It solves food shortages easily.B . It quickens the transportation of food.C . It needs no space for the storage of food.D . It uses renewable materials as sources of food.(3)According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food ________.A . is more available to consumersB . can meet individual nutritionalneedsC . is more tasty than food in supermarketsD . can keep all the nutrition in raw materials(4)What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely?A . The printing process is complicated.B . 3D food printers are too expensive.C . Food materials have to be dry.D . Some experts doubt 3D food printing.(5)What could be the best title of the passage?A . 3D Food Printing: Delicious New TechnologyB . A New Way to Improve 3D Food PrintingC . The Challenges for 3D Food ProductionD . 3D Food Printing: From Farm to Table19. 阅读理解Failure is probably the most exhaustingexperience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness intwo ways: as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keepputting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And thelonger we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is veryreal, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones.The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle themost difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, Idetermined to write them in alphabetical, never letting myself leaveout a tough idea. And I always startedthe day’s work with the difficult taskof essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is moredifficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do thejob right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we failagain and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let theunconscious take over.When planning EncyclopaediaBritannica , I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of itsarticles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after dat I keptcoming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almostunbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, Iwrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried toconvince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me.Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke upsuddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, thesolution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at everystep. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now asexciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe musttry to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.(1)People with start-up fatigue are most likely to .A . delay tasksB . work hardC . seek helpD . accept failure(2)What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A . Writing essays in strict order.B . Building up physical strength.C .Leaving out the toughest ideas.D . Dealing with the hardest task first.(3)On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A . Before starting a difficult task.B . When all the solutions fail.C . If the job is rather boring.D . After finding a way out.(4)According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .A . ignore mental problemsB . get some nice sleepC . gain complete reliefD . find the right solution(5)What could be the best title for the passage?A . Success Is Built upon FailureB . How to Handle Performance FatigueC . Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD . Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems20. 阅读理解A scientist working at her lab bench and asix-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. Afterall, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature ofthe physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing…right? Perhaps,but some developmental psychologists have argued that this “play” is morelike a scientific invest igation than one might think.Take a closer look at the babyplaying at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge,it falls in the ground---and, in the process, it belongs out important evidenceabout how physical objects interact; bowls of rice do not flood in mid-sit, butrequire support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowingthe basic fact of the universe; nor are they everclearly taught it. Instead,babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experimentsand then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact.Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigation and thescientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim, overall approach , and logic.Some psychologists suggest thatyoung children learn about more than just the physical world in this way---thatthey investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similarmeans. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering,and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea thatother people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, forexample, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate.Viewing childhood developmentas a scientific investigation throws on how children learn, but it also offersan inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children andscientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that scienceas an effort ---the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world---issimply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution provided humanbabies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adultscientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. Thesame cognitive systems that make young children feel good about feel good aboutfiguring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As somepsychologists put it, “It is not that children are little scientis ts butthat scientists are big children.”(1)According to some developmental psychologists .A . a baby’s play is nothing more than a gameB . scientific research into babies; games is possibleC . the nature of babies’ play has been thoroughly investigatedD . a baby’s play is somehow similar to a scientist’s experiment (2)We learn from Paragraph 2 that .A . scientists and babies seem to observe the world differentlyB . scientists and babies often interact with each otherC . babies are born with the knowledge of object supportD . babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do(3)Children may learn the rules of language by .A . exploring the physical worldB . investigating human psychologyC . repeating their own experimentsD . observing their parents’ behaviors (4)What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A . The world may be more clearly explained through children’s play.B . Studying babies’ play may lead to a better understanding of science.C . Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists.D . One’s drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows.(5)What is the author’s tone when he discusses the connection between scientists’ research and babies’ play?A . Convincing.B . Confused.C . Confidence.D . Cautious.四、任务型阅读(本大题共5小题,共10分)21. 阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

After graduating from high school, I'm going to be computer programmer, which I think is on great demand in the modern world. Moreover, my parents would like me to study medicine. They believe here are two reasons for being a doctor. One is that doctors usually deal with patients in person, which mean they are able to help people in need direct. The other is that doctors are so important that it is almost impossible for it to lose jobs. Up to now I have chatted with my parents for three time. To my disappointment, I was failed to persuade them. Now I am confusing about how to solve the problem.安徽省皖豫名校联盟2022-2023学年高三上学期第一次考试假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

It was a new experience for me. At first, I didn’t think I’d like it, but I decided to give it a chance.To begin with, it was 31 to have to hold with a boy and dance. The steps were oka y, and the music was okay, but boys were not really okay. The teacher was nice and funny, and she got us used to working together as a 32 . Then it wasn’t so strange working with a partner any more.As the lessons 33 and I learned new dances like waltz(华尔兹), I really began to enjoy myself. Even being with partners wasn’t bad. In fact, I started enjoying dancing with partners who tried hard and know our steps. Some of the boys thought it was a a joke. And they didn’t take it 34_______. I hated dancing with them, but I politely took my turn with them anyway. To be a proper lady was another thing I learned while I was dancing. I never thought much about it before, but the teacher expected me to 35 like a lady, which meant I had to accept dance partners politely 36 I didn’t like them. Just like life, you sometimes have to do things you don’t want to, the teacher 37 . Yet, that didn’t mean I didn’t enjoy dancing with a boy who had the proper height and good steps to be a great partner.As the classes neared their end, I was happy to hear I’d been38 as a finalist. That meant I and my partner, Todd, would be repre senting my school and going dancing at a competition. The competition was like 39 out of a storybook. Everyone was smiling, wearing great clothes, and hair was done nicely. It was hard not to be nervous, but it was hard not to feel special, too. Todd and I, along with my teammates, danced our way through the competition. It was hard, and all the other dancers were so good!It was sad not to win the competition, but a third place finish was 40 . Maybe next year our dancers would come in first place. I was proud I learned a lot. I just know I loved to dance, especially the waltz.31 A. different B. difficult C. common D. strange32. A. class B. club C. team D. task33. A. went on B. went by C. came over D. came back34. A. seriously B. gradually C. wisely D. normally35. A. look B. learn C. behave D. practice36. A. as if B. so that C. ever since D. even though37.

The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure out how to fix the engine.Then they brought in an old man in his eighties who had been fixing ships since he was a young man. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully from top to bottom.Two of the ship's owners were there watching this man and hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away, the engine was fixed!A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for USD10000."What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!" So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."The old man sent a bill that read:Tapping with a hammer: USD 2Knowing where to tap: USD9998GST not includedEffort is important, but knowing where to make an effort makes all the difference!41.

What does the writer want to tell us?A. You can earn much money by repairing shipsB. Ships are worth a lot of moneyC. Knowing where to make an effort is importantD. The old can earn more money than the young(B)Even in early time, people could realize the important of dreams and knew that dreams gave meaning to life. Every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality (现实).Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naïve. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized (排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else’s in his time.Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt big and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves.Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world.To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true.46. People who ______ could probably realize their dreams.A. find a way to dreamB. dream and hold fast to themC. get the meaning of lifeD. have very good school results47. Young people should be encouraged to dream because ______.A. their dreams are naturalB. they are greater than everyone elseC. they have much knowledgeD. their dreams might change the world48. What does the example of Colonel Saunders show us?A. Setting up a big company is a wonderful ability.B. Developing technology can bring great progress.C. Even older people can make their dreams come true.D. People should be brave enough to dream when they are young.49. The underlined word “naive” in the passage means “______” in Chinese.A. 逆反的B. 幼稚的C. 调皮的D. 冲动的50. The best title (题目) for the passage is “______”.A. From Dream to RealityB. Good Examples of DreamsC. Achievements in HistoryD. A list of Successful Dreamers(C)A ra bbit is running into its hole. You will ask, “What has this to do with language?” Well, when a rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away. Its tail moves up and down as it runs. When other rabbits see this tail moving up and down, they run, too. They know that there is danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a signal. Many other animals use this kind o f “language”. When a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is.Some animals say things by making sounds. A dog barks, for instance, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs(咕噜声) when pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning.But human beings have something that no animal has – a large number of words. We are able to give each other information, to tell or inform other people what is in our mind or how we feel. By writing words down we can remember what has happened, or send messages to people far away. No animals can do this.No one knows how man learned to make words. As centuries went by, man made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. A very large English dictionary, for example, has four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not know all these. The words we know are called vocabulary. We should try to make our vocabulary larger. Read as many books as possible. When we meet a new word, we had better look it up in the dictionary. A dictionary is the most useful book.51. A rabbit gives the other rabbits a signal of danger by ____.A. running into its holeB. stopping to move its tailC. running with its tail moving up and downD. stopping moving its tail up and down as it runs.52. A dog can tell something ____.A. by giving signalsB. by making different soundsC. by purringD. by barking53. We know that no animal is able to _____.A. give the others informationB. tell the others how it feelsC. show its actions or feelings with wordsD. make different sounds, each with its own meaning54.

We must ____ to make our vocabulary larger.A. make more and more new wordsB. learn more languagesC. look up any new word in a dictionaryD. try to read as many books as possible(D)In modern society, failure can be made to feel like the worst thing that could ever happento a person. The fact is that failure is common. In this article, you’ll learn a little abouthow to overcome failure through having the right attitude.Expect mistakes. 56 To expect life to always be smooth (顺利) is not practical. Failure helps to create balance in your life and presents an opportunityfor personal growth. Accept the fact that things won’t always go your way. Learn to love findingout that you’re wrong about something. That’s not failure; it’s the path to finding the rightway.57 Whatever you’re feeling about a failure, keep cool. Lookat it this way —it won’t make any differ ence to the result itself whether you blow your topor stay calm, but it will take a lot less energy if you choose the latter response. If you’rereally angry, chan nel these emotions to motivate you to start again. 58 It’s not good to bottle up feelings, but you can’t take out your anger on those around youfor no good reason. Go for a run or a swim to give you space to think. Just do something to distract(使分散注意力) yourself from the strong feelings until you calm down.59 Not only will your failure soon be yesterday’s news, but ifyou think other people are judging you, it won’t be long before they’re busy worrying abouttheir own failures. After all, everyone’s going to fail now and then. So does it really matterwhat others think?Stop worrying, start laughing. The sun will come up again tomorrow. Things might be terriblefor a little while but how will worrying help? Think back to a time when you worried a lot. 60 Most likely not, apart from giving you more wrinkles (皱纹) and gray hair. The greatest thingyou can do for yourself during failure is to use humor.根据短文内容,从A-G中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

His “shelter” was a tarpaulin (油布)tied to rocks to keep the wind from blowing it away. He had been living there for over a month. I never saw him with warm clothing or food. I knew what I wanted to do.When I told my parents what I wanted to do they werealarmed. They said I could be putting myself at risk, taking a box to a homeless person at night! But I knew, in my deep heart, that I would be safe.I got a box. My parents watched as I added warm gloves, a heavy blanket ... into the box until it was full! Then, I put a Christmas card on top. It said, “Even though we hardly know each other, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas!” I put ten one-dollar bills inside it as well.My father insisted he went there with me as it was 10 pm on Christmas Eve. I said he could drive me but he had to stay in the car. He agreed.I took the box and walked towards his “house”. I called, “Sir, I have a Christmas box for you!”“Go away!” he shouted.“Sir,” I repeated.“Go away!” he shouted.“Why?” I asked him.He walked over and I expected to see an angry face. Instead I saw two of the most beautiful, gentle, blue eyes I have ever seen.“Merry Christmas!” I said.“Why are you doing this?” he asked.“Because you matter to me,” I said. With that I gave him the box.Tears came to his eyes and he thanked me. I got back to the car and watched him carry the box like it was filled with gold. I didn’t want to embarrass (使困窘) him by watching him any more so Dad and I left.4. The underlined word “alarmed” can best be replaced by _____.A. pleasedB. worriedC. disappointedD. surprised5. Why did the author ask his father to stay in the car?A. Because he wanted to prove he was brave.B. Because he believed the homeless man was bad.C. Because he wanted to protect his father from being hurt.D. Because he didn’t want the homeless man to feel bad.6. When the homeless man saw the author first, he was _____.A. quite angryB. very excitedC. quite puzzledD. very curious7. The author’s purpose in writing the text is to tell readers that _____.A. it is easier said than doneB. poverty is the mother of healthC. where there is a will, there is a wayD. a willing helper doesnot wait until he is askedCWhere doyou usually put your toothbrush?Do you keep it in the bathroom? How’s your toothbrush looking these days? Even if you can’t see it with a naked eye, experts say it may be saturated(使饱和)with millions of toilet germs!Dr. Charles Oerba, a germ expert, is amicrobiology professor at the University of Arizona. He says there are approximately 3 million bacteria per square inch in most toilet bowls, and every time you flush it without closing the lid, those millions of bacteria droplets spray into the air as far as twenty feet away and dirty everything in their path. And a common victim is your poor toothbrush, usually, left out on the bathroom sink, right?So, what do we do? Dr. Gerba says it’s easy. Close the toilet lid before you flush—that’ll greatly cut downthe germs, which will otherwise float in the air. And wash your toothbrush every few days in mouthwash or peroxide to get rid of any germs hiding in it. You can even put it through the dishwasher to sanitize(消毒)it. And always store your toothbrush in a closed cabinet.Here’s one more tip from Dr. Gerba, who says our kitchen sink is probably dirtier than our toilet. “If an alien came from space and studied the bacterial counts, he probably would conclude he should wash his hands in your toilet and go to the bathroom in your sink.” He says that’s because the kitchen sink is a great place where E. coli(大肠杆菌)to live and grow since it’s wet and damp. Bacteria feed on the food that people put down the drain or—that’s left on dishes in the sink. To reset your sink’s bacteria count back to zero, you’d better regularly wash it with hot water and sanitize yoursink with special chemicals. In fact, you may want to do it every day or before preparing dinner.8. What is the purpose of the text?A. To show how to brush your teeth.B. To tell people the importance of health.C. To warn people of the invisible germs.D. To introduce a microbiology professor.9. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Bathroom sinks are the dirtiest places.B. Bacteria are bad for people’s health.C. Why bacteria spread through the air.D. How bacteria spread in the bathroom.10. What does the underlined word“that”in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The food.B. The toothbrush.C. The sink.D. The chemical.11. Why does Dr. Gerba mention the example of an alien?A. To tell us a fiction story of an alien studying bacteria.B. To show our kitchen sink may be dirtier than our toilet.C. To teach us how to reset sink’s bacteria count back to zero.D. To prove coli prefers to live in the kitchen and the drain.DAbout a billion birds die from flying into buildings each year inNorth America. Suspicions havebeen that birds may regard the open areas behind glass as safe passageways. Or they may mistake the reflected trees for the real thing.Researchers would like to reduce collisions, which requires a solid understanding about what makes a bird more or less likely to die by crashing into a building in the first place.“There was ly little known at a broad scale. Previous studies were at one small study site.'' Jared Elmore, a graduate student in natural resource ecology and management atOklahomaStateUniversity. So he and his colleagues used a previously created data set of building collisions for birds at 40 sites throughoutMexico,Canadaand theU.S.The first finding was obvious: bigger buildings with more glass kill more birds. But the details were more remarkable. "We found that life history predicted collisions. Migrants(候鸟), insect-eaters andwoodland-inhabiting species collided more than their counterparts(同类).”Most migratory species travel at night, when lights near buildings can distract or disorient(使迷失方向)them. And Elmore thinks that insect-eating birds might be attracted to buildings because their insect prey(猎物)is attracted to the lights. He suspects that woodland species get tooled by the reflections of trees and bushes in the windows. The results are in the journal Conservation Biology.By understanding which birds are more likely to collide with buildings, researchers can perhaps determine the best way to adapt buildings, or their lighting, to help prevent such accidents. And by knowing risks, along with migration timing and behavior, building managers can better predict when birds are at their greatest danger - and improve lighting strategics accordingly.Elmore's next project will use radar to help predict bird migrations. " I think that would maybe go a long way in terms of providing information to people, to the public, to building managers, on when they can get the most benefit in terms of lights-out policies."12. What is the possible reason for birds' crashing into buildings?A. They didn't see the buildings.B. They took reflections for reality.C. They assumed the windows to be open.D. They considered buildings as safe routes.13. What is Jared Elmore's study different from the previous ones?A. It created a new data set.B. It went beyond national borders.C. It covered a wider range of sites.D. I’ll studied some specific bird species.14. What was the most noticeable finding of Jared Elmore's study?A. Migratory species travel at night.B. Birds tend to be misled by glasses.C. Bigger buildings cause more collisions.D. Birds living habits give rise to collisions.15. Which of the following can help reduce bird collision?A. Adjust the lightening system.B. Attach radars to each building.C. Adopt strict lights-out policies.D. Ban using glasses on buildings.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020届茂名市第十六中学高三英语月考试题及答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AI started working with my hands at a young age. The youngest of five brothers, I took on the role as a “maintenance (维修) man” at an early age for our family’s small grocery store. Often my dad wouldn’t give me a clear idea of how something shouldbe done, so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error.Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High School’s Homebuilding class. I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nails or cut pieces of two-by-fours. The problem was that we didn’t have the resources at the time to do much else. The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important. Designing, building and selling a tiny house on wheels seemed like the perfect project to accomplishthe task. I reached out to a number of local businesses and most of them responded with the greatest support for what x k w we were doing.This year we added a new element to the program. Through one of our partners, we were able to connect with the nonprofit Veteran’s Ananda Incorporated. Students in the Homebuilding class are leading the design and production of micro houses to be donated to this organization. The new partnership gives the students another focus to consider when designing and building the houses.There has been no shortage of students since our first year. Three years ago we had 41 students, the next 191, and this year it was limited to just over 160 students so we could have a safe and manageable classroom environment. The number of girls taking the class has risen steadily over the last few years as well. This class offers something for everyone and the skills are universal.1. How can we describe the young author?A. He opened a small grocery store.B. He did a lot of research in the lab.C. He enjoyed doing hands-on activities.D. He learnt about maintenance from his father.2. What do the underlined words “the task” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Getting some financial support.B. Selling a tiny house on wheels.C. Reaching out to many local businesses.D. Offering the students some problem-solving skills.3. What can be inferred about the Homebuilding class from the last paragraph?A. Its size needs increasing.B. Itis popular with the students.C. It has caused some safety concerns.D. Its classroom environment is hard to manage.BThe idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recentlystruck a chord withmany young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes (纷争) and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”4. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean?A. Warned.B. Criticized.C. Touched.D. Amused.5. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young?A. Improvements in living conditions.B. Growing pressure from family and social life.C. Increasing material possessions from families.D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.6. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group?A. Understanding.B. Intolerant.C.Supportive.D. Unclear.7. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text?A. They never really drop their responsibilities.B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach.D. They would rather escape than take challenges.CThe founder of Earth Day was Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. Senator fromWisconsin. During the late 1960s, Americans witnessed the uninvited side effects of high productivity. Factories and power plants were sending out smoke and industrial waste while Americans were using petrol for their massive(大量的) cars, making air pollution almostsynonymous withthe nation’s development.What moved Senator Nelson to action was the 1969 massive oil spill inCalifornia, the largest in theUnited Statesat that time. The spill proved to be an environmental nightmare as it had a significant effect on marine life, killing about 3,500 sea birds, as well as marine animals such as dolphins, elephant seals and sea lions, fueling public anger. Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that period of time, Nelson found it an appropriate time to direct the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection. He decided that it was time to educate the Americans on the need to protect the environment. Thus Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmentalawareness took centre stage.On 22ndApril 1970, millions of Americans took to the street and thousands of students marched to appeal for a healthy, sustainable environment. There was now a new synergy(协同作用) among different groups which had previously been fighting their causes related to the environment. Their fight for environmental conservation became so overwhelming that affected businesses were forced to follow environmental standards if they wanted to continue their operations.As it became more apparent that environmental issues were not just localized ones but a global concern, the year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more around the world. Earth Day 1990 helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit inRio de Janeiro, bringing together many nations for a united effort towards protecting the environment.8. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “synonymous with” in paragraph 1?A. familiar withB. opposite toC. different fromD. equal to9. Why did Nelson found Earth Day?A. To support students’ antiwar movement.B. To draw people’s attention to the seriousness of the oil spill.C. To arouse American’s awareness of environmental conservation.D. To educate Americans to protect marine life threatened by oil spill events.10. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Businesses would like to follow environmental standards.B. Earth Day united people to fight for environmental protection.C. It was the side effects of high productivity that led Nelson to take action.D. The 1992 United Nations Earth Summit made Earth Day known to more countries.11. The passage mainly talks about_______.A. how Earth Day came into beingB. why Earth Day was so significantC. who the founder of Earth Day wasD. what Earth Day meantto the worldDIt is a question people have been asking for ages. Is there a way to turn back the aging process?For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth”. The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink from its waters, you will not age.Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears the answer may be hidden right between your eyes, in an area called the hypothalamus (下丘脑). The hypothalamus is part of your brain. It controls important activities within the body.Researchers at New York’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that hypothalamus neural (神经的) stemcells also influence how fast aging takes place in the body.What are stem cells(干细胞)? They are simple cells that can develop into specialized cells, like blood or skin cells. Stem cells can also repair damaged tissues and organs.Dongsheng Cai is a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He was the lead researcher in a study on aging in mice. He and his team reported their findings in the journal Nature, Cai explained when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost. it eventually leads to aging.Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate, or energize, the hypothalamus laboratory mice. They did this by injecting the animals with stem cells, Later, the researchers examined tissues and tested for changes in behavior. They looked for changes in the strength and coordination (协调) of the animals muscles. They also studied the social behavior and cognitive ability of the mice. The researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animals, Cai says injecting middle-aged mice with stem cells from younger mice helped the older animals live longer.But these results were just from studying mice in a laboratory. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives? The next step is to see if the anti-aging effects also work in.12. In Paragraph 2 a “fountain of youth” is mentioned to ________.A. introduce the main topicB. show a hidden secret.C. describe scientists researchD. recommend a way to stay young13. Aging takes place in the body when _______.A. stem cells develop into specialized cellsB. there are important activities within the bodyC. hypothalamus neural stem cells fail to protect against agingD. the hypothalamus fails to repair damaged tissues and organs14. What do we know about the researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine from the text?A. They did experiments to see how stem cells work.B. They studied mice to find their connection with humans.C. They have found a possible way to slow the aging progress.D. They have found no changes in mice s behavior during the experiment15. What will the researchers probably do next?A. They will help some animals live longer.B. They will announce the fountain of youth doesn’t existC. They will develop products to help people live a longer life immediatelyD. They will do research to see if what they have found in mice will apply to humans.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Watching a big city likeLondongradually turn dark and darker into the night is a beautiful journey of time and light. So how about taking a historical evening walk and touchingsome of the nicest areas in centralLondon? Let’s get started.6:30 pmThe walk starts on theMillenniumBridge. On the bridge, watch the scenic city across the River Thames with the skyscrapers gradually lighting up against the darkening skies.TheMillenniumBridgehas been featured in many London-based films, includingHarry Potter, and the filmGuardians of the Galaxy.7:30 pmIt’s getting dark. A fifteen-minute walk northwest fromSt Paul’s Cathedral takes you to the historic Borough Market. During the evenings, you find a lot of restaurants around the market. This is an excellent time to get your dinner.9:00 pmThe next stop isLondonBridge. This is about 6 minutes’ walk from the Borough Market. As you join other onlookers and mentally go through the nursery school rhyme of “LondonBridgeis Falling Down”, you get lost again in history. Why does the song sayLondonBridgeis falling and who is the fair lady?During theLondoncity fire of 1897,LondonBridgeserved an important role in fire control. It was one of the major structures that prevented the fire from crossing over to the other side ofLondon.11:30 pmLondonnever sleeps; it’s a few minutes to midnight and everywhere is still filled with people moving around. About four minutes away from the Golden Jubilee Bridges isTrafalgar Square, our next stop.12:00 amIt’s been a beautiful evening, hasn’t it?1.

What is the main purpose of the text?A. To showLondon’s color1 ful culture.B. To introduce the scenery inLondon.C. To ask people to do outdoor activities.D. To recommend a night tour inLondon.BThe term "bird brain" is frequently used to describe a person's lack of intelligence and good decision-making ability. However, some scientists believe it should be considered a praise, given that many birds can perform human tasks like producing and using tools, solving problems, and planning for future needs. Now,Griffin, an African Grey parrot, has proved that birds may even possess better visual memories than human adults and children.The study, led by Hrag Pailian, a researcher at Harvard University, had the parrot compete in the game against twenty-one undergraduate students and twenty-one 6 to 8-year-old children. The popular challenge involves hiding a small object under one of three or more upside-down cups, which are moved around. Participants are required to accurately identify the cup under which the object lies. To make the task more challenging, the researchers required participants to track two, three, and four objects at the same time.An analysis of the results showed thatGriffinoutperformed the 6 to 8-year-olds across all levels on average. Even more impressive, the "bird brain" performed as well as, or slightly better than, the 21 Harvard students on 12 of the 14 trials! It was only in the final two tests, which had the most objects and most movement, that the parrot fell behind the adults. However,Griffin's performance was never below that of the children.Griffinwas the candidate of choice because the scientists needed an animal that had a brain functionality similar to that of humans. "The fact that the smart parrot loves to show off his brain power in exchange for a few cashews (腰果) did not hurt either", said Irene Pepperberg, a Harvard lecturer, who has trained Griffin and several other African Grey parrots, has been studying the species for over four decades and is considered a pioneer in the study of bird intelligence.4. Whatwere the participants required to do in the study?A. Identify different kinds of objects.B. Tell where the hidden object lies.C. Track other participants' performance.D. Move around upside-down cups.5. What did the results of the study indicate?A. 6 to 8-year-olds did better thanGriffin.B. Parrots have a better memory than other birds.C. Harvard students have a better visual memory.D.Griffinoutsmarted Harvard students in some trials.6. Why wasGriffinchosen for the experiment?A. It was good at making decisions.B. It was specially trained for experiments.C. It had similar brain functions to human beings.D. It loved to show off his language power for some treats.7. What is the best title for the text?A. "Bird brain" becomes a term for a stupid person.B. Harvard lecturer pioneers in bird intelligence study.C. Parrot outsmarted Harvard students in visual memory test.D. Researchers made new discoveries about human intelligence.CWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood,he wasbetter off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys fromBoston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence(能力)and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, ” said George Vaillant, the psychologist(心理学家)who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings(基础)of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work.”8. What do we know about John?A.

One evening, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly sick-looking man.His face looked terrible — it was swollen and red. Yet his voice was pleasant. He told me that he came for treatment and that he’d been hunting for a spare room since noon, but no one would give him one. “I guess it’s my face...”For a moment, I hesitated, but his next words convinced me: “I will sleep in this rocking chair on the porch. My bus leaves early in the morning.”The old man had a huge heart inside his tiny body. He told me that he fished for a living to support his daughter, his daughter’s five children and her disabled husband.He didn’t complain while telling me his story. He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease, which was seemingly a form of skin cancer.The next morning, he said, “Can I come back and stay next time I need treatment?” I told him he was welcome to come again.On his next trip, as a gift, he brought a big fish and some large oysters (牡蛎). In the years that he stayed with us, there was never a time that he did not bring us gifts like these.My neighbour warned me that I could lose potential renters after the old man left.Maybe we did lose renters once or twice. But if they had known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear. I know our family will always be grateful to have known him. From him, we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude.12. Why did the author let the old man stay after hesitation?A.
