National Geographic KidsBFive-year-old Willard Wigan struggled to tell the difference between an M and a W or a 6 and a 9. Unfortunately, his schoolteacher knew nothing about dyslexia (阅读障碍症), a learning disability that can make letters and numbers confusing. She didn’t try to help him.Not surprisingly, Willard didn’t like school. Usually, his mind drifted—to playing outside, to his dog Maxie, or to the ants that lived near his family’s garden shed. Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them—small and insignificant. Thus, when he noticed some ants trying to build a house, he decided to help them! Willard constructed a little building. Then he sprinkled sugar inside to encourage the ants to move in. When they did, Willard built more houses.At school, Willard still struggled, but now he knew he could do something special. Maybe he wasn’t a failure after all. If he had trouble with his reading or math, Willard would later go home and creat tiny furniture for the ant houses. He even built an ant school, with teeny swings, ladders, seesaws, and a merry-go-round. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart.At age nine, Willard began carving faces on toothpicks. He discovered that his ability improved when he held his breath as he worked. When he quit school at age 15 to help support his family, Willard still spent his spare time carving. His confidence grew as more people appreciated his talent. Eventually, he quit his factory job to pursue his dream of becoming one of the best artists in the world. Now, years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world! His sculptures are so small that several can fit on a period at the end of a sentence.Because of their beauty and rarity, his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man. But he says, “Success isn’t about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it’s about persevering and achieving your dreams.”Willard Wigan, microsculptor, has done just that. The man who felt small as a boy has shown the world that something small can really be BIG.4.Which of the following best describes Willard’s teacher?A.Sympathetic.B. Unhelpful.C. Impatient.D. Careless.5.Why did Willard become interested in building homes for ants?A.Because he had a love for little things.B.Because he was absent-minded in class.C.Because he wouldn’t have to struggle at school.D.Because he thought they both seemed unimportant.6.What can we infer from the 4th paragraph?A.Willard gave up his study in school to pursue his dream.B.Willard became popular when more people appreciated his work.C.Willard was able to carve small artwork in a short period of time.D.Willard found a way to make better artwork when he was at school.7.Which of the following may Willard agree with?A.Failure is the mother of success.B.Success belongs to those who don’t give up.C.Dreaming big is the first step in achieving your goals.D.Talent is sometimes more important for success than hard work.CAnton was thrilled about his new job as an intern (实习生) for his favorite director, Selma Honor. Seeing her documentary about race-car drivers had convinced Anton that he wanted to be a filmmaker. When he found out that she was filming a documentary about the local basketball team, he wrote her a letter offering his help. Getting the call from Selma’s assistant had been the thrill of a lifetime.Being on the set turned out to be quite different from what Anton had expected. He had imagined he would be standing behind Selma, watching her make crucial decisions during filming. Instead, the assistant director, Joe, had given Anton a box of index cards to place in alphabetical order, which is what Anton was doing in the gym when Selma arrived. She looked around quickly and said, “What’s that kid doing in the shot? Get him out of here.” Joe hurried over and told Anton to finish his work in the hallway.Anton sat on the hallway floor, carefully sorting the index cards while listening to the crew setting up for the big game that night. He heard Selma and Joe arguing, and then Joe came slamming through the gym doors. “She wants symbolism in a high school gym,” he muttered angrily, “as if being a teenager weren’t symbolic enough!” Anton asked what Joe meant, and Joe explained that Selma was looking for a way to give the game a symbolic boost about choosing sides. Joe’s bright red shirt gave Anton an idea.Four hours later, the crowd was divided into two halves. All of the fans for the home team wore red shirts; all of the fans for the away team wore gray shirts. Selma smiled as she started to film, noting that Anton’s idea really did add an additional competitive element to the game. She winked at Anton. He trailed behind her—once again certain that he had the best job in the world.8.Which is one theme of the passage?A.Ambition can get you in trouble.B.Disappointment is usually temporary.C.Creativity can make bad situations worse.D.All movies should have some symbolism.9.What do Selma’s actions tell you about her?A.She always treats her team with patience.B.She does not allow anyone to influence her.C.She is willing to listen to other people’s ideas.D.She makes all of her decisions before filming begins.10.What does Anton’s experience show?A.Do not give up even when you have setbacks.B.Sometimes you have to give in to a boss’s demands.C.It is necessary to take time to make careful decisions.D.It is very important to be friends with people you work for.11.How can Anton be described?A.Strong and pushy.B. Honest and loyal.C. Competitive and demanding.D. Creative and determined.DReflexology is a natural treatment dating back to ancient times. It is based on the idea that there are zones, or areas, in the feet and hands that are related to other parts and systems of the body. For example, the tips of the toes and fingers are related to the head and neck, and the ball of the foot is related to the heart and chest. A reflexologist applies pressure to specific areas in a patient’s feet and hands to relieve symptoms or pain in other related areas.This type of treatment does not cure or diagnose specific health problems, and it does not involve any medicine or drugs. Yet many patients find that it successfully relieves symptoms of stress and disease. Reflexology is effective for pain, headaches, and sleeping difficulties, among other ilnesses. Applying pressure to the feet and hands relieves tension, improves blood circulation, and relaxes muscles. It promotes the natural, healthy functions and well-being of the entire body. Reflexology is often used along with other types of treatments, including conventional medicine.This gentle therapy is safe and simple. A reflexologist’s only tools are his or her hands. Pressure is strong, but not uncomfortable. It’s not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during treatments.A typical treatment session lasts one hour. Treatment is usually focused on the feet for most of the session. A patient is asked to remove his or her shoes and socks, to sit in a comfortable reclining chair, and then to relax as the reflexologist warms the patient’s feet with his or her hands and applies pressure to the appropriate parts of the foot. The last ten minutes of the session are dedicated to the hands.After relieving specific problems, many patients continue a regular program of treatment to maintain good health. Some reflexologists suggest building at least a five- minute reflexology session into every day for long-term relief of stress and pain.12.What is a reflexologist?A.a scientist who studies reflexology practice.B.a patient who receives reflexology treatment.C.a person who provides reflexology treatment.D.a person who supports the reflexology theory.13.Which of the following is true about reflexology according to the article?A.It can deal with problems with the feet.B.It works wonderfully with some diseases.C.It is often combined with other treatments.D.Many people do it at least five minutes daily.14.In a typical session of reflexology, about how much time is spent on the feet?A.One hour.B. Fifty minutes.C. Ten minutes.D. Half the time.15.In ideas, which of the following is similar to reflexology?A.Chinese herbal therapy.B. Spiritual healing method.C.Traditional western medicine.D. Chinese acupuncture (针灸).第二节(共5 小题;每小题2.5 分, 满分12.5 分) 阅读短文，从短文后选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
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 physical object in your poem. Think about what a self-portrait from the point of view of a mirror, or a bowl of your favourite foodwould look likeHow 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 or audio files. We are using Submittable to accept submissions to this challenge. You will need to 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 doA. Explore true selves.B. Convey positive emotions.C. Illustrate personal profiles.D. Compare different personalities. 2．What is suggested to better handle the challengeA. Using simple language.B. Presenting yourself directly.C. Taking a different point of view.D. Focusing on physical appearance.3．What is “Submittable” likely to beA. A writing tool.B. A search engine.C. An email account.D. An online platform.In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, thereis no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. 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 abou t being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.An enlightenment 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 paragraphA.

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 andshows 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. Manywarm-hearted individuals came forth and became instrumental in the searches or provided 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 ru les, 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 LostA. 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 bookA. 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 adventuresA. 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 bookA. 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 ironis 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 the concerns 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 forcancer.Besides harming ourselves, eating meat harms others. Factory farming practices often entail unspeakable cruelty to animals, and working conditions for workers are also unsafe. Overcrowding 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 passageA.B.C.D.14．Wha t does the underlined word “entail” in Paragraph 5 probably meanA. escape.B. involve.C. balance.D. overcome.15．Which of the following would be the best title for the passageA. 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 ourlocal 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.

AThe Best Books of2020On Monday,the American Library Association announced the top children’s books of 2020.Here are the winners.DevotionAuthor Clare Vanderpool took home the John Newbery Medal for outstanding contribution to children’s literature for Moon over Manifest.The book is about a young girl’s magical adventures in a small Kansas town,in1936.Vanderpool said that she was shocked to learn that she had won.“You grow up reading legendary authors like Madeleine L’Engle,but I never expected to be put in a category with her,”Vanderpool told TFK.“It’s fabulous.”Picture ThisThe picture book A Sick Day for Amos McGee won the Randolph Caldecott Medal.The book was illustrated by Erin E.Stead and written by her husband,Philip C.Stead.It tells the story of an elderly zookeeper and the animals that visit him when he’s not well enough to go to work.“I love drawing animals and I love drawing people and I love drawing the emotional connection between animals and people,”said Stead.More Honored BooksThe Coretta Scott King award,given to an African-American author and illustrator of “outstanding books for children and young adults,”went to Rita Williams-Garcia for One Crazy Summer.Set in1968,the novel follows three sisters from Brooklyn,New York,who visit their mother,a poet who ran away years ago and lives in California.The king prize for best-illustrated work went to Dave the Potter:Artist,Poet,Slave.The book,which was written by Laban Carrick Hill and illustrated by Bryan Collier,tells the story of a skilled potter who engraved his poems on the clay pots and jars that he made.The enslaved potter,known only as Dave,lived in South Carolina in the1800s.1.How did Vanderpool feel when she heard the news that she won the medal?A.Astonished.B.Disappointed.C.Embarrassed.D.Depressed.2.One Crazy Summer is a_________.A.collection of poemsic bookC.fictionD.picture book3.Who illustrated the book Dave the Potter:Artist,Poet,Slave?A.Bryan Collier.B.Erin E.Stead.ban Carrick Hill.D.Madeleine L’Engle.4.What can we infer from the passage?A.The book Moon over Manifest tells a story of a zookeeper and his animals.B.A Sick Day for Amos McGee shows us that animals can interact with humans.C.The book A Sick Day for Amos McGee is written by Erin,a famous woman writer.D.One Crazy Summer is about a mother with her three children having a holiday inCalifornia.BReading minds may not be simple,but it might be possible actually.What if a brain scan could reveal your memories?A team of British scientists recently just did that—they used brain scans to look at spatial(空间的)memory in four people.Spatial memory is the kind of memory you use to remember where you are.You use spatial memory to remember how to get from your house to school.People build spatial memory as they explore a new city or a new building and take in information about their surroundings.The scientists asked each participant to sit down at a computer and wander through3D rooms.These virtual rooms contained images of objects,like clocks and doors,so that the people could know where they were.Each person was encouraged to explore the virtual space.As the people became familiar with these rooms,their brains were taking notes of where things were,and how to get from one point to another.After observing these rooms,the participants were instructed to go to a specific location within the rooms.At this point,the scientists took pictures of the people’s brains using an instrument called FMRI(核磁共振成像).As participants stared at the floor,the scientists took FMRI scans to measure brain activity. They repeated this process many times.After a few repetitions,the scientists recognized the patterns in the participants’brains.By looking at patterns on the brain scans,the scientists were able to read the spatial memory of the test subjects.This experiment shows that it is possible to use FMRI to gather some kinds of memories from people.However,your secret thoughts and personal memories are safe—for now.“It is not the case that we can put someone in a brain scanner and simply read his private thoughts,”said one of the scientists who worked on the project.5.What can we learn about spatial memory from the first paragraph?A.It contributes to exploring a new subject.B.It lets you remember what has been done.C.It helps you memorize places where you are.D.It takes in information about new knowledge.6.Which of the following is the right order of the study?a.The scientists took photos of the brains with the FMRI.b.The scientists read the spatial memory of the participants.c.The participants were asked to explore virtual rooms.d.The scientists repeated the process a few times.A.a,b,c,dB.c,a,d,bC.b,c,d,aD.c,d,a,b7.Why are our secret mind and private memories safe?A.Because FMRIs can’t gather any memory from people.B.Because scientists can’t understand all pictures taken by FMRIs.C.Because FMRIs can’t be completely reliable now.D.Because scientists can’t read people’s thoughts directly.8.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Spatial memory and FMRIs.B.A very important research.C.How scientists can read people’s memories.D.A new kind of camera—FMRIs.CGrasslands need time to rest when cattle and other animals feed on them.Moving animals from one area of pasture(牧场)to another can provide the time needed for new growth.This is called rotational grazing(循环放牧).Rotational grazing is good for the land and the animals,and it can save money.This form of grazing can reduce the need for pesticide(农药)treatments by reducing the growth of weeds. And it can limit the need for chemical fertilizers by letting natural fertilizer,animal droppings, do the job.Rotational grazing can even help prevent wildfires by keeping grasslands in good condition.Letting animals feed continually and intensively(集中地)in the same grazing areas can require costly replanting.Animals eat the most appropriate growth first.When that keeps happening,the roots do not have enough time to recover.As a result,less desirable plants may replace them.Intensively used grasslands are also harmed as the soil is continually crushed under the weight of heavy animals.And the animals usually avoid their own waste,so that reduces the amount of good grazing space even more.While rotational grazing can save money over time,it also requires planning.And that starts with a good map to mark fences,water supplies and grazing areas.Changing methods of grazing also requires time.Farmers may want to put up electric fences to enclose grazing areas,called paddocks.The paddocks will need water.Some farmers design a path for animals from different paddocks to drink from a common watering place. Farmers can start rotational grazing by removing animals from a pasture when the grass iseaten to less than five centimeters.The pasture is then kept empty until the grass grows to more than fifteen centimeters high.Sheep and goats may require special preparations.They may need stronger fences than other animals.And while they eat the grass,they may need guard animals like camels to protect them from animals that would like to eat them.9.If you want to carry out rotational grazing,you must do many things EXCEPT________.A.reducing the amount of the animalsB.making a plan about the electricity and water supplyC.building fencesD.making a design in advance10.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Sheep and goats are fierce and special animals.B.Sheep and goats aren’t suitable for rotational grazing.C.Sheep and goats need more management in rotational grazing.D.Sheep and goats are difficult to raise.11.Which statement of the following is NOT true according to the text?A.The heavy animals can damage the grasslands.B.Rotational grazing can provide the grass enough time to grow again.C.The grass over five centimeters in a pasture can be used to feed animals.D.During rotational grazing,more pesticidal chemicals are needed.12.Which of the following is the best title?A.How to Keep Grasslands in Good ConditionB.Giving Grasslands a RestC.The Hidden Meaning of Rotational GrazingD.The Drawbacks of Rotational GrazingDThe Annual Conference of the FEWThe first annual conference of the FEW,the Forum for World Education,was launched at OECD headquarters in Paris,centered on the theme“The Future of Education:Where Do We Go from Here”.There were over300international business leaders,education policymakers,and renowned scholars from more than10countries and regions participating in the two-day event. They exchanged ambitious and profound ideas about the future of global education.The forum started with keynote speeches by Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands and a Chinese business leader,both of whom shared opinions about the challenges of education in the 21st century.The business leader said that to keep up with today’s ever changing world,it was essential to develop innovation education.“In the current digital era,two things are increasinglyimportant:Not only should we give everyone the chance to receive an education but,first and foremost,it’s about offering students the right type of education and skillset that can prepare them to cope with the challenges that future poses.”He continued by stressing the importance of recognizing school employees including teachers and headmasters.“Education is about the future.We should give teachers the best recognition,and equip headmasters with the proper training and resources to identify and retain the most capable educators.A good teacher can help200students in their lifetime at least.”Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands acknowledged children’s creative ideas and the necessity of including them in the design of the education system.She explained that a good teaching method should not only help kids but also support adults.The forum has caught attention from the education,economy,culture and arts sectors, along with international organizations such as the UNESCO,policymakers,a number of universities,and non-profit organizations from all over the world.Launched in2013,FEW is a non-profit organization based in the U.S.It’s dedicated to promoting the growth of global economy through educational innovation and supporting disadvantaged communities in gaining access and equality.13.What is the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A.People think highly of the FWE.B.People could exchange their ideas about the FWE.C.People pay much attention to the future of education.D.People from around the world attended the annual conference of FWE.14.Who plays a key role in the future of education,according to the business leader?A.Students.cators.C.Business leaders.cation policymakers.15.What did the business leaders and Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands advocate about education?A.Developing creative education.B.Designing an education system.C.Offering students as much education as possible.D.Giving teachers proper resources.16.What do we know about the FWE?A.It is held every other year.B.It attracts global attention.C.It stresses advanced education.D.It aims to gain profits through education.E“Is it art?”Tyka,an artist and software engineer,asked the audience at Christie’s2019Art +Tech Summit in New York in June2019.The event’s theme was“The A.I.Revolution”,and Tyka was referring to artwork created using artificial intelligence.He flashed an image of urinal(小便池)on two large screens at either side of the stage—Marcel Duchamp’s famous and controversial sculpture Fountain.The audience laughed.“Obviously,it can be,”he said.However,many in the art community are wrestling with several unanswered questions after an algorithm-produced(演算法)print that resembled19th century European portraits was sold for$432,500.For example:when artwork is accomplished by means of the algorithm,who is the artist—the programmer or the computer?Because many works of AI art are digital, how do you value a creation that’s designed to live natively on the Internet and be widely shared?There are few clear answers.Claire Marmion,the founder and CEO of Haven Art Group,says collectors are still trying to figure out where the market for AI art is heading,and that it may not be the disruptive(破坏性的)force that some think it will be.Or,at least,the industry will adapt to it.Mario Klingemann,whose work was sold by Sotheby’s,prefers the term“generative art”, which includes all works created using algorithms,and believes the current buzz will eventually die down,otherwise AI art isn’t going anywhere.Instead,he thinks it will one day be viewed as simply another tool of the artist.“Just like photography never goes away,or making movies doesn’t,I’m pretty sure it will establish itself as a new media format,”he says.“Right now,of course,it’s all this mystery about AI,but I expect this to become really just a normal thing,where people will focus on what

2023-2024学年新疆乌鲁木齐市米东区三校联考 2024届高三下学期2月月考 英语试卷(含答案)
乌鲁木齐市米东区三校联考高三月考英语试题总分120分考试时间120分钟第一部分：阅读（共两节，满分50分）（一）阅读理解（共37.5分）English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweetmeats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meeseHow can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise manand a wise guy are opposites How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the nextEnglish was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible; but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I ____ this essay, I end it. 1．According to the passage __________.A．pineapples are the apples on the pine treeB．there should be an egg in an eggplantC．sweetmeats and sweetbreads are different thingsD．boxing rings should be round2．The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph m aybe means “__________”.A．blow B．finish C．get hurt D．roll up3．Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ____________.A．lazy B．crazy C．clever D．dullIt should be one of the main goals in today society to reduce plastic consumption. Though many believe recycling will solve the problem, and continue using plastic, it’s actually the opposite. In 2013, 254 million tons of trash was produced in the U.S. alone, and only around 30% wasrecycled. This means the rest ended up in a landfill and will stay there for up to 1000 years.Recently, China has stopped importing trash from all over the world. Before this, over 30% of the world’s waste would end up in China, causing a popular belief that Asian countries are those responsible for creating the majority of the waste in the world. Now, Asian countries, including Vietnam and Thailand, are looking for new ideas to avoid plastic. One of those ideas was a new, eco-friendly way to pack their goods by avoiding plastic packaging.One of Perfect Homes Chiangmai’s team members noticed a creative way to reduce plastic that a supermarket called Rimping Supermarket was using and decided to take photos of their shelves with his phone. Little did he know that people all around the world would absolutely love this idea. “I just popped in to get a few items while we were waiting to sign some contracts (合同) with our lawyer, who was delayed. When I noticed the vegetables wrapped in banana leaves and simply liked the idea, I took a few pictures and posted them online.” he said.With more than 3.5 million views and over 17 thousand shares, the idea became something people can encourage more supermarkets to implement (贯彻).Some have noticed that not everything on the shelves is completely plastic-free, to which the supermarket responded that they are takingone step at a time, but it’s not that easy. Many products come to the supermarkets pre-packaged and many companies are interested in wrapping their produce in plastic since it is the cheapest and the easiest option.It’s now up to the shoppers to show the supermarket which they prefer. If everyone opts for the banana leaf packaging, they will probably stop stocking the items in plastic.4．What does the underlined phrase “opts for” in the last paragraph probably meanA．Doubts. B．Discusses. C．Dislikes. D．Chooses.5．What is the best title of the passageA．Leaf Packaging Goes Viral (走红)B．Reducing Plastic ConsumptionC．Recycling Avoids Plastic PackagingD．A Good Option Makes A DifferenceSatellite, hunger, stars, kerosene lamps(煤油灯), the Milky Way, the Cultural Revolution’s factional civil wars, a light-year, the flood… these seemingly unconnected things combined together and formed the early part of my life, which shaped the science fiction I write today.As a science fiction writer who began as a fan, I do not use my fiction as a way to criticize the reality of the present. I feel that the greatest appeal of science fiction is the creation of numerous imaginary worlds outsideof reality. I’ve always felt that the greatest and most beautiful stories were told by science. They are far more magnificent, grand, involved, profound, thrilling, strange, terrifying, mysterious, and even emotional. Only, these wonderful stories are locked in cold equations(方程式) that most do not know how to read.There’s a strange contradiction: On Earth, mankind can step onto another continent, and destroy the civilizations through war and disease. But when they look at the stars, they turn emotional and believe that if aliens exist, they must be friendly and kind.I think it should be the opposite: Let’s turn the kindness we show toward the stars to mankind and build up trust and understanding between different peoples and civilizations. But for the universe outside the solar system, we should be cautious. For a fragile civilization like ours, this is the most responsible path.As a fan of science fiction, a considerable part of the science fiction I’ve read comes from America. The fact that American readers can now enjoy my book makes me both pleased and excited. Science fiction describes event of interest to all of humanity. It often describes a day when humanity will form a harmonious whole and I believe the arrival of such a day need not wait for the appearance of aliens.Except from “Author’s Postscript for the American Edition of TheThree-Body Problem”6．What shaped the author’s present worksA．His early life experiences. B．Unconnected daily objects. C．American science fictions. D．The adventures in his imagination. 7．Which aspect of science fiction appeals to the authors most A．The appearance of aliens.B．The way to criticize present reality.C．The creation of numerous imaginary worlds.D．The wonderful stories combined with equations.8．What is the author’s attitude to human’s idea about aliens A．Supportive. B．Negative.C．Uncertain. D．Indifferent.9．What is the text mainly aboutA．The author’s achievements in science fiction.B．Themes and points of view of the author’s works.C．People’s knowledge and misundersta nding about the universe. D．The author’s devotion to science fiction and concern for mankind.（二）七选五（共12.5分）British English and American English are almost the same. ___10___ The first difference between British and American English is in vocabulary. Almost all of the words used in British English and American English are exactly the same. ___11___ For example, Americans would say “apartment”, but the British would say “flat” to talk about the placewhere they live. In addition to some common words, many idiomatic (惯用的) expressions are different. In England people might say “I’ll ring you up tonight”, but in the US, people might say “I’ll call you up tonight”. The second difference between British and American English is in pronunciation. The main difference in pronunciation lies in the vowels. ___12___ But most of the time, the British and Americans do understand each other’s pronunciation because most of the sounds of the two dialects are the same.The third difference is very small. ___13___ A few types of words are spelled differently in British and American English. The most common example is in a word like “center”. In British English, this word would be spelled C-E-N-T-R-E, while in American English the same word would be spelled C-E-N-T-E-R.___14___ The British may say “Have you got … ” while Americans prefer “Do you have … ” An American might say “my friend just arrived”, but a British would say “my friend has just arrived”.A．This is the difference in spelling.B．There are a few differences in grammar, too.C．But there are some differences between them.D．Only a very small number of words are used differently.E．Both languages have a slightly different structure of telling the time. F．The English language was introduced to America in the early 17century.G．Sometimes, Americans and the British don’t understand each other’s pronunciation.第二部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分）（一）完形填空（共15分）Each year, my family and I leave our home in New Jersey and drive two hours to Connecticut.

Salesmen studying moms’ preferences.A few days ago, my husband, Russ, and I lost our house of 28 years to a California wild fire.On that night, we had to leave our house and sleep in the back seat of our Ford. The next morning, we had to drive three and a half hours to find a hotel that had an available room. Only later, in the local newspaper, did we see photographs of the destruction. Our house had been consumed by the fire along with most of our neighborhood.How are we going to rebuild after this? I thought, rounding a corner in the sidewalk on my walk back to the hotel. Is it even possible?I noticed something up ahead—a pair of nickels, shining like precious jewels. They were just nickels, but they somehow felt special. I bent down and picked them up. If these were lucky coins, I could use all the luck I could get.A few days later, I made a trip to the store to buy essentials. The enormous task of replacing everything we’d lost put a heavy weight on me. I was about to leave when I felt the urge to stop and turn my head to the right. I could hardly believe it—there on nickela shelf, was a nickel! Okay, maybe this is more than luck, I thought and put the nickel in my pocket.I told myself that I had found the nickels just by chance. Then I found one next to my plate at a restaurant—on Thanksgiving, no less, when I was missing our house more than ever.Whenever I reached my breaking point, I’d find another nickel. In the grass at the park, or near the tire of my car in a parking lot. Once, my change for a quick lunch was given entirely in nickels. “I’m sorry,” the cashier said. “It’s all we have.”It’s all I needed!One day, I was sitting at the desk when my phone rang. It was a real-estate agent I’d been working with.“I have a new listing,” she said.“When can we see it?”A few hours later, Russ and I were following the agent down the driveway toward the house.I didn’t think long. Because there in the driveway, …4、After the wild fire, the couple ________.A. lived in their car for one nightB. took some photos of the destructionC. could hardly afford their Thanksgiving dinnerD. saved precious items from the burned down house5、What does the underlined word “plummeted” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A.

I found an old nickel, which seemed to tell a story from the past.C. I saw a mysterious locked box, and thought perhaps it was full of nickels.D. I looked up and imagined something on a cloud, a giant nickel, just for me.A new study has found human feelings can accurately be expressed numerically（用数字表示地）and have more predictive power for how we behave than formal studies of socioeconomic factors like household income and employment status.The study co-author Andrew Oswald, a professor of economics and behavioral science gathered information from nearly 700,000 people, who were asked annually over a three-decade period how they felt on a numerical scale about their job, spouse, health and home. Using the data collected, researchers constructed statistical models to show how people felt and the actions they took as a result of their reported feelings. The study found that ratings of life satisfaction had a direct linear (线性的) relationship to actions people subsequently take. Participants who rated their job satisfaction as a 2 out of 7 had a 25% probability of quitting their job. Those who rated a 6 out of 7 had only a 10 percent probability of quitting. The samewas true across other measures like marriage, health and housing.Previous research has also shown data about feelings predict human outcomes, but not in such a linear fashion; the degree of satisfaction served as a good predictor of future actions. Additionally, economists have previously been critical of feelings data because they considered them unscientific and unreliable. But this study shows socioeconomic factors have a lesser probability of predicting human behavior than data on feelings.Though the study shows numbers can quantify（量化） feelings, researchers are still a bit confused as to why estimates of seemingly subjective feelings can be such good predictors of future actions. According to Oswald, a number of factors could be at play. Humans are very experienced in comparative thinking and are able to scale their own life satisfaction against that of their neighbors. We’re also accustomed to using measuring devices for other aspects of life like temperature, distance and weight, so it shouldn’t be too surprising that we’re able to measure our feelings in a similarly accurate way. Another study co-author Caspar Kaiser says that it may also be because we communicate our feelings and do it in a scaled fashion every day. This could be why it comes out in the data more accurately than in objective markers.Ori Heffetz, an economics professor who was not involved in the study, says that this research shows feelings data shouldn’t be underestimated even if they’re more difficult to study. “Scientists who ignore this do so at their own risk,” he says.Looking ahead, Kaiser hopes this same data can be studied in lower-income countries so that it can be applied universally to places with varied levels of economic development. But more than anything else he’s interested in studying why feelings work so well.A. research process and findingsB. research topic and significanceC. research subjects and purposeD. research data collection and analysis9、What can we know about the study?A. It also applies to people from lower-income countries.B. It challenges the opinion that feelings data are unreliable.C. It explains why ratings of feelings can foresee future actions.D. It first shows data about feelings can predict human behavior10、What is Ori’s attitude towards the study?A. Neutral.B. Skeptical.C. Supportive.D. Cautious.11、Which would be the best title for the passage?A. How You Rate Your Life Predicts Your Future BehaviorB. Feelings Forecast Actions Better than Economic FactorsC. Why Your Feelings Affect Your Future ActionsD. Ranking Every Aspect of Your Life CountsHardly a day goes by without a company telling us in its beautifully crafted advertising how much it contributes to the environment on our behalf. Flowers grow out of power-station chimneys; SUVs are presented in natural habitats; oil companies use sunny, friendly logos and promise cleaner technologies- although, in fact, they fail to make enough investment in renewable or alternative energy sources. Statistics are made up, and the tiniest ecological improvements are overstated in multi-million-dollar advertising campaigns, while in the meantime the greedy side of the business continues.This is known as greenwashing, which means “making things that are not green look green”. The phenomenon has long existed since the first Earth Day in 1970, when companies spent $300 million advertising themselves as green companies—many times more than the money they actually spent on research into pollution reduction itself. And the trend continued over the following decades when som e of the planet’s worst polluters tried to pass themselves off as eco-friendly. As the public’s environmental awareness grew, so too did the experience of corporate public relations strategies, and advertisers found ever- more-creative ways to use a green curtain to hide dark motives.Of course, some businesses are genuinely committed to making the world a better, greener place. But when a company spends more time and money claiming to be “green” than actually adopting business practices that minimize environmental impact, it is clear that, for them, environmentalism is little more than a convenient slogan(口号). Their message is “buy our products and you will end global warming, improve air quality and save the oceans”. AtAnd what about today’s consumers? Few of them are truly well-equipped to make informed decisions about what is true. Greenwashing is only possible because consumers often believe what they are being told-why else would companies do it? More information and greater awareness are essential. Analysing the tricks used by advertisers should be part of every school curriculum. Non- governmental organisations can spread the word. Consumer groups can punish the greenwashing companies. But it is not enough. Legally enforceable systems must be put in place.So what is already being done about planned attempts to pull the wool over consumers’eyes? In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission is taking action against misleading advertising claims. France has published Green Claims Guidance, stressing that “an advertisement must avoid conveying a message contrary to the accepted principles of sustainable development”. All of these surely are the heart of the matter: the true impact of advertising is the promotion of unsustainable lifestyles. And there lies the real danger to our planet, a danger which cannot be ignored any longer.12、What can we learn about greenwashing?A. It is an ecological conceptB. It is a marketing technique.C. It is an awareness campaignD. It is an advertising innovation.13、What does the underlined phrase “conceal deception” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Hide the truth.B. Raise the risk.C. Expose the weakness.D. Break the limit.14、What can be inferred about most consumers?A. They are lacking in legal knowledgeB. They have encouraged greenwashing.C. They may question consumer groupsD. They tend to make sensible decisions.15、What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Actions to fight false advertising.B. Ways to protect customers’ interest.C. Attempts to solve environmental problems.D. Proposals to ensure sustainable development.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Please ring between those times if you need to speak to someone. You will now hear some recorded information about the museum. Following the success of last year’s special exhibition on clothes in the eighteenth century, we are pleased to announce that there will soon be another special exhibition at the museum. It will show the diet and eating habits of both the rich and poor members ofeighteenth-century society. The exhibition will be open to visitors from the beginning ofJuly to the end of September. It contains exhibits that have been collected from all over the world, although there is a special focus on the local area. The easiest way to reach Cornford Museum is by underground as the museum is right beside the underground station. You can also get here by bus or car. But the bus stop is 200 meters from the museum. Besides, the traffic is always heavy outside the museum. The museum has a popular café serving hamburgers and cold drinks. There is also gift shop selling souvenirs about the special exhibition.。
