In the spring of 2020, like the rest of the world, I spent a lot of time staring at a screen and that was when I first got into the world. I discovered that onscreen offerings were truly endless. From one r I learned how to plant my own vegetable garden. Someone else shared poetry from Robert Frost, wise sayings from Confucius, and a smattering (一知半解) of other philosophical viewpoints, all of which helped me through some dark days. Down the rabbit hole I went, scrolling for hours and hours, watching other people living their lives and giving me advice on how to live mine.As the months rolled by, turned my attention away from the hard reality of what was going on in the world. I subscribed to several channels and waited anxiously for new weekly offerings. I watched people reading poetry or painting by streams or looking out windows into snowy landscapes.I found all this calming. Such lovely scenery, such beautiful background music, and such pretty clothes they were wearing!At some point though, I got upset by these artistic and seemingly perfect lives. Who is filming them? I wondered. Do they rehearse or just act on the spot? Isn’t it cold, stepping through snow banks in dresses? The questions kept bothering me while forcing comparisons to my own somewhat more ordinary existence. I wanted to walk in a flowing dress through hilly green field filled with wildflowers! Instead, I was marching through my neighborhood’s city streets in mom jeans.In a moment of insight, I realized that I had a full and happy life, which although it wouldn’t win awards for perfection onscreen, suited me perfectly. I put my phone away and started paying attention to my own life instead of watching other people live theirs. I still like checking in once in a while. can be a rich source of entertainment and inspiration, but I’ve limited my exposure.

CPhotosynthesis (光合作用) is a unique skill of green plants-they turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and food via sunlight. A group of Chinese scientists, however, "copied" the process on animals.To understand the new breakthrough, it is important to know how photosynthesis works. Plants take in carbon dioxide and water from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose (葡萄糖) .The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air and stores energy within the glucose molecules. In the study, the researchers from Zhejiang University developed an independent and controllable photosynthetic system, according to the study published in Nature in early December, 2022.They separated thylakoids(类囊体), a part of the cell where light reactions take place in plants, from young spinach (菠菜) leaves. The scientists then wrapped the thylakoids with the cover of animal cells, which made the implanted thylakoids more acceptable to foreign bodies. The mice used in the study were suffering from arthritis (关节炎) meaning cells in their cartilage had degenerated and could not be repaired by themselves. With the thylakoids implanted into the mice and exposed to light, the mice recovered. Their metabolism (新陈代谢) returned to normal.In arthritis, the patients usually have energy loss since fewer energy-carrying molecules are generated. The implant, however, can correct the imbalance by storing more energy via photosynthesis.The researchers also claimed that their tests would have medical usage. It can be used as part of solution for degenerative diseases because the natural photosynthesis system my repair cells. It may also delay the aging process in cells.The study showed an exciting achievement that opens up possibilities of metabolism engineering" commented one of the paper's reviewers Francisco Cejudo from the University of Seville in in, reported Xinhua.8. What is mainly mentioned in paragraph 2?A. The theory behind the experiment.B. The background of the experiment.C. The procedures of the experiment.D. The effects of the experiment.9. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. A group of Chinese scientists copied the photosynthesis of animals on plants.B. The place in which the plant stores energy is thylakoids.C. The thylakoids wrapped by animal cells make itself accepted with ease by foreign bodies.D. This therapy has been used as part of the solution for degenerative diseases.10. What is the attitude of a commentator towards the existing studies about the study?A. Cautious.B. Approving.C. Doubtful.D. Uncertain.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. Effective Photosynthesis.B. Breakthroughs made by a group of Chinese scientists.C. Chinese scientists who copied Photosynthesis on animals.D. Chinese scientists copied Photosynthesis on animals.DGiven how valuable intelligence and automation are, we will continue to improve our technology if we are at all able to. At a certain point, we will build machines that are smarter than we are. Once we have machines that are smarter than we are, they will begin to improve themselves. The concern is really that we will build machines that are much more competent than we are. And the slightestdivergence between their goals and our own could destroy us.Just think about how we relate to ants. We don’t hate them. We don’t go out of our way to harm them. In fact, sometimes we take pains not to harm them. We step over them on the sidewalk. But whenever their presence seriously conflicts with one of our goals, we will kill them without hesitation. The concern is that we will one day build machines that, whether they’re conscious or not, could treat us with similar disregard.The bare fact is that we will continue to improve our intelligent machines. We have problems that we desperately need to solve. So we will do this, if we can. The train is already out of the station, and there’s no brake to pull. If we build machines that are more intelligent than we are, they will very likely develop in ways that we can’t imagine, and transcend us in ways that we can’t imagine.So imagine we hit upon a design of super intelligent AI that has no safety concerns. This machine would be the perfect labor-saving device. It can design the machine that can build then machine which can do any physical work, powered by sunlight, more or less for the cost of raw materials. So we’re talking about the end of human labor. We’re also talking about the end of most intellectual work. So what would apes like ourselves do in this circumstance?But the moment we admit that information processing is the source of intelligence, we have to admit that we are in the process of building some sort of god. Now would be a good time to make sure it’s a god we can live with.12. Why does the author mention ants in Paragraph 2?A. To compare intelligent machines to ants.B. To show improved machines will get away from us.C. To stress the presence of machines does conflict with our goals.D. To explain future intelligent machines could treat us without mercy13. What does the underlined word “transcend” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. DisableB. InspireC. DisappointD. Outpace14. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By making comparisons.B. By giving assumptions.C. By showing valid evidence.D. By analyzing statistics.15. Which of the following statements can best summarize the author’s viewpoint towards AI?A. Human beings will no doubt be destroyed by AI in the future.B. Super intelligent AI will put an end to human labor eventually.C. We should keep the development of AI within human’s control.D. Human beings should stop the development of super intelligent AI.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

高三3月份阶段性检测英语试题第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AAt the age of ten I could not figure out what this Elvis Presley guy had that the rest of us boys did not have.I mean,he had a head,two arms and two legs,just like the rest of us.About nine o’clock on Saturday morning I decided to ask Eugene Correthers,one of the older boys,what it was that made this Elvis guy so special.He told me that it was Elvis’ wavy hair and the way he moved his body.About half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage(孤儿院)were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown Jacksonville,Florida to get a new pair of Buster Brown shoes and a haircut.That is when I got this big idea,which hit me like a ton of bricks. If the Elvis hair cut was the big secret,then that’s what I was going to get.A11 the way to town I told everybody, including the matron(女管家)from the orphanage who was taking us to town,that I was going to look just like Elvis Presley and that I would learn to move around just like he did and that I would be rich and famous one day, just like him.When I got my new Buster Brown shoes, I could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that I had my new Busier Brown shoes I would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like Elvis.We finally arrived at the big barber shop,where they cut our hair for free because we were orphans(孤儿).I looked at the barber and said,“I want an Elvis hair cut. Can you make my hair like Elvis?”I asked him,with a big smile on my face.“Let's just see what we c an do for you,little man,”he said.I was so happy when he started to cut my hair.Just as he started to cut my hair, the matron signed for him to come over to where she was standing.She whispered something into his ear and then he shook his head,like he was telling her “No”.Then he told me they were not allowed to give us Elvis hair cuts.Then I saw my hair falling onto the floor.21.In the author’s eyes,Elvis Presley was_________.A.disgusting B.admirable C.ambitious D.dynamic22.From the passage,we can know that______________.A.Buster Brown was more appealing than Elvis PresleyB.An Elvis hair cut cost the orphans a lot of moneyC.The matron did not want the boy to have an Elvis hair cutD.The barber was unwilling to give the boy an Elvis hair cut23.We can learn from the underlined sentence that the boy was______.A.excited to have an Elvis hair cutB.worried to think about the secret C.anxious to remove the ton of bricksD.careful to seize the chance24.How would the boy probably feel when he walked out of the barber shop? A.Delighted.B.Guilty.C.Self-satisfied.D.Depressed.BIt is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented. And at first sight, it looks like the easiest. Competitors have to do two things. The first is to stand still. The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of people are doing the same thing. And the winner of the “handathon” contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time. That person gets to own the car.It still seems to be an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is. Anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention. After a few days, the hand seems to belong to someone else—someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat, drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills.Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. Entran ts in the Longview handathon certainly don’t seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by “getting lots of sleep”. Others say they will “eat healthy food” or “pray for success”. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.Handathons are competitions, but there is little rivalry(敌对)between competitors. They help each other out and keep each other’s spirits up. People who drop out early return with food, drink and encouragement.25. The reason why the sport is called “handathon” is that competitors.A. cover a long distanceB. keep one hand in place for longC. wave hands as long as possibleD. do the same thing as in a marathon26. What ability is likely to be needed most in a handathon?A. Standing without any support.B. Not leaning on the car.C. Eating and drinking in five minutes.D. Having strong powers of attention.27. Why is handathon popular?A. Someone can win with special training.B. It doesn’t need to make any preparation.C. Anyone who is interested can join in it.D. People get along well with each other in it.28. Which of the following about handathon is NOT right?A. The person who takes part in it should stand still.B. The person who takes part in it has to place his hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.C. The person who takes part in it can have a break during the course of the competition.D. Handathons are competitions, so competitors don’t encourage each other.CFilm director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy. His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success, James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.In 2022, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary film, named James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenger 3D.In James Cameron’s fantasy films, such as Avatar and The Abyss, the unexplored areas are decorated in colors and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull.“I felt like I had gone to another planet,” Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean, nearly 7 miles below the surface. “I really have a sense of being separated and re alize how tiny I am down in this big, black and unexplored place.”Cameron captured(猎取) the moon-like landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenger 3D tells the story of Cameron’s j ourney. It is a film about determination, danger and the ocean’s greatest depths. The movie shows a unique insight into Cameron’s world when he makes his dream reality and makes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet.It’s an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to explore.29.When did James Cameron become interested in the ocean?A. When he was in his childhood.B. After his films The Abyss and Titanic.C. After he achieved great success in movies.D. When he began to explore the deep sea alone.30.What is the reality about unexplored ocean?A. Colorful and dangerous.B. Boring and deserted.C. White and attractive.D. Small and dull.31.What can we know about James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenger 3D?A. It is a film about the exploration of ocean creatures.B. It is a story about Cameron’s film-making dream.C. It aims to attract more people to explore the deep sea.D. It tells us about James’ journey into Challe nger Deep.32.What is the best title for this passage?A. The great dream of a film directorB. A film director exploring deep seaC. James Cameron and his documentary filmD. The first person to make films about the deep seaDNearing the age of 101 has not slowed down one Japanese woman.In fact,in the swimming pool—she is only getting faster.Recently,a 100-year-old Japanese woman became the world’s first centenarian to complete a 1,500-meter freestyle swimming competition in a 25-meter poo1.Her name is Mieko Nagaoka.Ms.Nagaoka set a world record for her age group at a recent Japan Masters Swimming Association event in the western city of Matsuyama.She swam the race in 1hour,15 minutes and 54 seconds.By comparison,the overall female world record holder completed the same distance in just under 15 and a half minutes.But that swimmer,Katie Ledecky,is only 17 years old.And Ms.Nagao.ka was not competing against her.In fact,Ms.Nagaoka was the only competitor in the 100-104 year old category.Her race was not a race of speed but of endurance,or not giving up.Breaking swimming records is nothing new to Ms.Nagaoka.So far she has broken 25 records.But she begancompeting when she was much younger—at 88.Ms.Nagaoka sufferred a knee injury in her 80s,so she began swimming to help her body recover.Since her first international swimming competition,she hasn’t looked back,except maybe to see if her competition is catching up.In 2002.at a masters swim meet in New Zealand,Ms.Nagaoka took the bronze medal in the 50-meter backstroke.In 2004,she won three silver medals at an Italian swim meet.Masters swimming is a special class of competitive swimming to promote health and friendship among participants.Swimmers compete within age groups of five years.Japan has a large number of people who live beyond 100 years old.Until she passed away this month,the oldest person in the world was also from Japan.Misao Okawa was born in 1 898.She said her secrets for longevity,or long life,were good genes,regular sleep,sushi and exercise.33.The underlined word “centenarian”refers to someone who is____.A.from Japan B.100 or olderC.an old competitor D. a new swimmer34.It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A.some people are born with longevity genesB.people who like swimming live longerC.the Japanese are interested in swimmingD.woman usually live much longer than men35.Which can best explain the spirit of Ms.Nagaoka?A.Not to advance is to go back.B.After a storm comes a calm.C.The early bird catches the worm.D.Keep on going,never give up.其次节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)At times, our worries and anxieties can defeat us. 36 Here is a brief list of techniques that you can use to help gain a better viewpoint on things during the anxious moments.37 A person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off the problem. A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.Remember that our fearful thoughts are made to seem worse and can make the problem worse. 38 When unexpectedly having thoughts that make you fearful or anxious, challenge these thoughts by asking yourself positive questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.Be smart in how you deal with fears and anxieties. Do not try to deal with everything all at once. When facing a current or upcoming task that makes you anxious, break the task into small ones. 39Remember that all the worrying in the world will not change anything. Most of what you worry about never comes true. 40 Then you should leave everything else in the hands of God.It is not easy to deal with all the fears and worries. When your fears and anxieties have the best of you, try to calm down and then get the facts of the situation. The key is to take it slow. All you can do is doing your best each day, hope for the best, and when something does happen, take it easy. Take it one step at a time and things will work out well at last.A. When feeling anxious, stop what you are doing and try to do something relaxing.B. This will give you the confidence to manage your anxiety.C. Instead of worrying about something that probably won’t happen, concentrate on what you are able to do.D. The next time you fell depressed, review your list and think about the good things that you have in your life.E. A good way to manage your worry is to challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and realistic thinking.F. In addition, our worries can change our understanding of what is reality and what is not.G. Completing these smaller tasks once at a time will make the stress more manageable and increase your chances of success.第三部分第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)There Really Was a Santa ClausAnn worked for a big company.

Family.BWhen the disease first hit, nursing homes across the United States tried to proteet the neighbors. They shuttheir doors and banned visitors, leaving seniors separated from the outside world.16-year-old Hita Gupta thought that life wouldn't return to normal for a long time. To support lonely seniors and remind them of how much they're loved, she began delivering care packages to nursing homes in her town of Paoli, Pennsylvania.“When I received a call from the nursing home, I knew I needed to remind them that they aren't alone, and I did everything I could to make sure they knew that," Hita said.The teenager's efforts are a part of her non-profit organization Brighten A Day, which she organized in 2018to "spread joy to seniors, children in the hospital, and frontline workers."With the help of her 10-year-old brother, Divit Gupta, she has sent out almost 100,000 handwritten cards and packages - complete with puzzles, coloring books, and colored pencils - to nursing homes in countries including Ireland, Australia, and Canada.“The response has been so incredible," Hita said. “A lot of the seniors cry when they open the packages and read our notes. It's changing people's lives at a time when they need it the most."Many of the notes are written by Brighten A Day volunteers, who also make videos where they tell jokes, play music, read poetry, or sing. The pair and their volunteers call the seniors to make sure they have someone to talk to.“No one could imagine someone so young coming up with these ideas and delivering them to us across the country, but Hita found a way. Seniors do not feel forgotten or alone. Instead, we see their expressions of joy and gratitude knowing that someone out there is caring for them," a volunteer said.“What we do is to give hope and reminders that there were people out there that truly cared about them and their wellbeing," Hita said. "Brighten A Day really does brighten a day."4. How did the seniors in nursing homes feel when visitors were not allowed in?A. Quiet.B. Delighted.C. Comfortable.D. Lonely.5. What is the main aim of Hita's Brighten A Day project?A. To raise more money for nursing homes.B. To deliver love to seniors at nursing homes.C. To teach seniors to communicate effectively.D. To promote the development of the nursing industry.6. What can we learm about the Brighten A Day project?A. It offers its volunteers the special packages.B. It encourages seniors to use fewer smart devices.C. It is supported by volunteers across the country.D. It was started during the disease first hitting this area.7. Which of the following words can best describe Hita Gupta?A. Caring.B. Curious.C. Faithful.D. Professional.CWhat makes you happy? You may want to answer that spending time with your family, taking a vacation or driving a new sports car makes you happy but the key to happiness may be altruism(利他行为).Helping others may actually increase your happiness.According to Time Magazine, the greatest thinkers in the world have suggested that true happiness is found in helping others and now there is scientific research from a team of psychologists at the University of Missouri-Columbia to prove it.The researchers led by Liudmila Titova and Kennon Sheldon looked at whether pursuing happiness for others will actually make people happier. They found that it does.Two experiments were conducted by the team, according to Psychology Today. In the first experiment there searchers asked participants to recall a time that they tried to make themselves or another person happy. They were asked to write about the event and rate how happy it made them feel.In the second experiment, they were asked to remember a time they tried to make someone else happy and also write about how it made them feel. This experiment elicited a higher rate of happiness than the first."The results of these studies extend findings from previous research by showing that people gain more personal happiness from attempts to make other people happy- an approach that might seem unbelievable for a lot of people at first," researchers wrote in the study.But how does the research translate into real life? According to Time Magazine, find your passion. Give it to people or causes that move you and share your values. Whatever you do, the key is to finding an approach that works for you and let it come naturally. Remember that improving happiness is a benefit of helping others and not the goal.8. What makes people happy according to the first paragraph?A. Driving a new sports car.B. Travelling during a vacation.C. Offering generosity to others.D. Spending time with their family.9. How did the researchers prove their findings?A. By using examples.B. By making experiments.C. By clarifying a concept.D. By demonstrating facts.10. What does the underlined word "elicit" mean in paragraph 5?A. Produce.B. Improve.C. Display.D. Discover.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Pursuing Happiness for Others CountsB. Sharing Your Values Will Make SenseC. Improving Happiness Benefits You MuchD. Helping Others Can Improve HappinessDA. green sea turtle(海龟)struggled to move in the cold water off the coast of Texas in the Gulf of Mexico.7hißwater was normally warm, but an extreme cold front from the Arctic swept the area, dropping the airf emiperature below freezing. The cold-blooded sea turtle became almost frozen: Its body stopped moving, and it couldn't get a breath of air. Without help, these sea turtles would have died underwater.A conservation group on South Padre Island was ready to help. On the first day of the storm, staff and volunteers from Sea Turtle, Inc., headed out on boats to rescue the sea turtles. They loaded them onto trucks and transported them to the organization's rescue center.The group usually rescued only about a hundred turtles on days when the weather briefly got cold. But this February storm was different: By the second day, volunteers had already pulled more than 600 frozen sea turtles from the water.Over the next five days, new sea turtles arrived during the daytime. At night, the volunteers wore headbands with flashlights to provide medical care in the dark building. They tried to keep the sea turtles clean while they were out of the water.Eight days after the storm began, the water was finally warm enough to release the sea turtles. About 30miles offshore, the boat stopped, and the workers put over 2,300 sea turtles back into the ocean.If the workers and volunteers hadn't rescued these sea turtles, none of them would have survived. “We were up all night, every night, and the release was exhausting, too," a volunteer said. "But it was worth it to watch those sea turtles go down the slides back where they belong."12. Why did the green sea turtles struggle to move in the water?A. They were about to sleep in winter.B. The water around was usually warm.C. They became trapped by fishing nets.D. A freezing cold front suddenly occurred.13. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A. What kind of care the sea turtles received.B. Why the volunteers went to the dark center.C. How the volunteers looked after the turtles.D. Whether it was necessary to keep turtles clean.14. What may be the direct result of the act of releasing?A. More sea turtles will be born in this area.B. Many sea turtles had died before releasing.C. The volunteers had a sense of achievement.D. A lot of green sea turtles were finally rescued.15. What does this text want to convey?A. We should live in harmony with nature.B. Great things may be done by mass efforts.C. Nature is a mirror reflecting human activities.D. It is crucial to improve the habitat of sea turtles.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。

This latest incident takes the biscuit,though. Mr. Bran-son,look at the mustard(芥末). It was intended to accompany mashed potato. However,here was more mustard than any person could handle in a mouthful. The potato masher had obviously broken,so it was decided the next best thing to do was pass the potatoes through the digestive system of a bird and blend it with“a bit”of mustard. Of course, Mr. Bran-son,everybody likes“a bit”of mustard.By then,I felt a little sick,and I needed a sugar hit. Luckily,a small cookie was provided,but it appeared to be some sort of backstreet underground cookie. Imagine biting into a piece of metal,Mr. Bran-son. That would be softer on the teeth than this one.Exhausted and starving,I decided to resort to your world-famous onboard entertainment, so I switched on the screen.

It has been rejected for decades,but the idea finally has the green light in NYC officially. Earlier this month the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA),the agency tasked with enforcing congestion pricing,gave the policy the go-ahead. From May,decades after London made the identical move,drivers of cars into NYC's central business districts will have to pay.The hope is that the fees will ease the traffic burden. Commercial zones where cars crawl are listed to be charging zones. The MTA expects much fewer vehicles on the city's streets, which should decrease air pollution and promote the economy. But what made the plan successful was what it should bring in—$1bn annually—needed for MTA capital projects, which should improve reliability as well as access to the transport system.Nevertheless,the plan has not been met with universal delight. Take New Jersey,some of whose regions are within NYC,as an example. Since New Jersey drivers have paid to cross into the city before,the state has filed suit(上诉). Phil Murphy,New Jersey's governor, who supports pricing in principle,but not seemingly in actuality,has said that“We can't fix a bro ken MTA in NYC on the back of New Jersey commuters(通勤者). ”Fort Lee,a town on the NewJersey side of the Washington Bridge,has raised air-quality concerns. It expects increased traffic as lorry drivers try to avoid paying fees.“Past years have witnessed t he decline of fuel taxes as a revenue source in transport while congestion pricing could be the possible alternative. If NYC is really committed to doing it,they will come to some kind of settlement. ”says Nicole Celina of the Manhattan Institute.8.What can we learn about congestion pricing?A. It applies to American drivers.B. It was designed for roads initially.C. It gained approval in London before.D. It is rejected by the American authorities. 9.What is the main reason for the MTA's support for congestion pricing?A. To develop the economy.B. To relieve the traffic load.C. To obtain financial benefits.D. To improve the environment.10.What is New Jersey's attitude to congestion pricing?A. Favorable.B. Hesitant.C. Objective.D. Disapproving. 11.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Fewer Vehicles Are Expected in NYCB. NYC Charges Drivers to Boost EconomyC. NYC' s Congestion Fee Faces ControversyD. Congestion Pricing Dissatisfies New JerseyNative wild horses in North America went extinct 10,000 years ago. In the 16th century, European settlers brought domesticated(驯化了的)horses to this continent,and their population multiplied. Some people consider them as a reintroduced native species,while others see them as invasive pests that damage ecosystems. Today there are more wild horses in the American West than the land can support,and the government has to control their numbers through birth-control vaccines and occasional but controversial killings.However,Erick Lundgren,a postdoc at Aarhus University,notes that large plant-eaters play a crucial role in the ecosystem,where grass and shrubs are either consumed by animals or burned. Therefore,reintroducing extinct plant-eating mammals,like wild horses in this case, could potentially reduce the occurrence of fires. He advocates taking them off the rang-elands(牧场),where they're hated for competing with cattle for food,and strategically placing them where they can do what they do best and benefit the environment.Although conservationists generally prefer native organisms to restore ecosystems, non-native species can fill in the ecological gaps left by extinct animals. A lot of research stilllooks at how bad invasive species are for the environment,but that's not the only possibility. For example,Australian saltwater crocodiles that were nearly extinct in the 1970s are now a species of“least concern”,thanks to the invasive pigs they've come to feast on.“People will protest that a species doesn't belong here. But the wo rd belong'isn't science;it's nativism. ”Lundgren said. Many of the areas we consider“wilderness”today were ecologic created by native people who pruned(修剪)plants and watched over controlled burns. “We're changing the planet quickly yet refusing to let the living beings on it change with it. ”he said. If we take away the issue of belonging and consciously assign the non-native species a role to play,what we're left with is a wilder and more diverse world.12.What do we know about wild horses in North America today?A. Their population grows rapidly.B. They are native to the continent.C. Their living spaces are narrowing.D. They are protected from being killed. 13.How could we use wild horses to control wildfires?A. Leave them undisturbed.B. Remove them from rang-elands.C. Promote their reproductive rate.D. Utilize their grass-eating nature.14.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The value of non-native animals.B. The efforts in ecosystem restoration.C. The need for protecting native species.D. The importance of preserving biodiversity. 15.What does the last paragraph suggest doing?A. Reducing human impact on nature.B. Forbidding invasion of new species.C. Staying open to non-native animals.D. Returning animals to native habitats.二、七选五16.The next time you’re at an airport or hotel, you might notice a traveling group that consists of young kids, parents, and grandparents vacationing together. ①_________But more and more families tend to bring multiple generations with them.②_________In larger groups, for example, child-care responsibilities can be shared across family members, allowing parents to take a break. But the real value of these trips might be how they give relatives an opportunity to freshen their perception of the people they’ve known for perhaps their entire life. Travel can take us out of our familiar contexts and offer people a chance to see one another differently.The shift toward multi-generational travel has a few explanations. For one, grandparents today stay healthy later in life, allowing them more energy for travel. ③ _________Plus, theaverage U.S. household has become more multi-generational. Americans are not just traveling with grandparents in order to spend time with them, they are traveling with them because they are more likely to live with them in the first place. ④ _________Americans are taking fewer vacation days than they did in the 1970s. They might want to make the most of that time by including as many people as possible.Whatever the reason for its popularity, a multi-generational trip can be a rare time when younger and older generations can glimpse the complex people they have each become. Away from the family home, older generations get to see their adult children as responsible parents. Kids get to see their grandparents encounter a new environment. ⑤ _________A. Another explanation is time pressure.B. The benefits of multi-generational trips are numerous.C. Decades ago, only wealthy families vacationed together.D. A scene like this would have been rare a few decades ago.E. Multi generational family travel tops the list of travel trends.F. Everyone gets to break out of their family roles and figure out how to be together.G. Also, big-group accommodation has become more affordable through online platforms.三、完形填空(15空)I was thirty-four the first time I saw the real Santa.When we got to the window to pay,the employee said our meal had been covered by thegoing by offering to pay for the order for the car behind us.with the fact that a stranger had just done something kind for us,and there was no way toreminded me of the illustration at the end of the Twas the Night Before Christmas poemdrove a truck with a b ig grin and a little wave.17.A. cut back on B. got down to C. caught up with D. broke away from 18.A. fleeing B. resigning C. researching D. interviewing19.A. annoyed B. low C. confused D. scared20.A. pity B. excuse C. ability D. choice21.A. showing B. mentioning C. calling D. inviting22.A. suggestion B. approach C. introduction D. gesture23.A. mission B. responsibility C. chain D. reaction24.A. impressed B. patient C. comfortable D. familiar25.A. pay forward B. pass through C. light up D. bring out26.A. frown B. grin C. enthusiasm D. confusion27.A. funny B. cheerful C. continuous D. fearless28.A. gradually B. possibly C. carefully D. instantly29.A. raised B. tied C. seized D. covered30.A. formal B. precious C. admirable D. random31.A. delicate B. fancy C. free D. costly四、短文填空32.Tai Hang,a modern-looking neighborhood in Hong Kong,is home to the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance,a folk art form that①_________ (perform)during the Mid-Autumn Festival for over 100 years. ② _________ started as a way to rid this fishing village of bad luck has become a cultural treasure.The dragon is about 70 meters long and weighs more than 200 pounds,with its body③_________ (wrap) with pearl grass.

The chemical similarities are so great, in fact, that the composition of other species' tears—and how they're adapted to their environments-may provide insights into better treatments for human eye disease.Previously, scientists had studied closely only the tears of a handful of mammals, including humans, dogs, horses, camels, and monkeys. In the new study, Brazilian veterinarians analyzed the tears of reptiles and birds for the first time , focusing on seven species.Teats, which are released from tear tubes, form a film over the eye that's composed of three ingredients:mucus, waler, and oil. The mucus coats the eyes surface and helps to attach the film to the eye, the water is a natural salty solution containing crucial proteins and minerals, and the oil prevents the eye from drying out.Humans are the only known species to produce emotional tears ; the expression "crocodile tears," which refers to a person's phony display of emotion, comes from the mysterious tendency of crocodiles to release tears as they eat.But tears play key roles beyond weeping, notes Lionel Sebbag at Iowa State University, who was not involved in the new research. They help with vision by lubricating(润滑)and clearing the eye. They also protect the eye against infection and provide nutrition to the cornea (角膜), the eye's clear outer layer, which lacks blood tubes, he says.Learning how reptiles and birds' use tears may also inspire new medications for conditions such as dry eye, which occurs when tear tubes don't produce enough oil. The disease, common in cats, dogs, and people, can sometimes lead to blindness.4. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The source of tears.B. The composition of tears.C. The classification of tears,D. The definition of tears.5. What does the underlined word "phony” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Tricky.B. Regretful.C. Cold.D. False,6. Which statement does Lionel Sebbag agree with?A. Weeping contributes to eye disease.B. The cornea has rich blood tubes.C. Tears oil and clear the eyes,D. More tears mean better vision.7. What might be the best title for the text?A. Tears, a barrier to eyesB. A better treatment for eye diseaseC. Non-human tears promise new curesD. Other species' tears are similar to humans'The Pomodoro technique is probably one of the most powerful techniques in all of learning. All you have to do is set a timer for 25 minutes, and then just focus as attentively as you can for those 25 minutes.Now if you start focusing on and you're working on, and then you look up at the timer and two minutes have passed. You may feel like you can't hold on. And just let the thought go by , and return your focus to whatever you are working on. And when that 25 minutes is up you relax a little bit. You might wonder why that 25 minutes is the magic number, and the reality is we don't really know. There's not a lot of research on the Pomodoro technique, which is surprising because it's so incredibly popular and people find it very useful.But there's an interesting tidbit (小趣闻)related to the Pomodoro technique, and that is that : when you just think about something that you don't like very much, it stimulates a part of the brain that experiences pain. And so the brain naturally enough shifts its attention to something else, like Facebook or Twitter or something like that.And what the Pomodoro technique does, when you do it you're setting that timer. You don't want to sit there and think , “I'm going to work on this problem and get it all finished. You just want to think, I've got 25 minutes where I just have to work on something." Don't even think about what that something is. What that does is it slips in under your brain's radar (雷达). It doesn't stimulate so much that pain in your brain ; and then that pain in the brain, research has shown , lasts for 20 minutes.So if you work for 25 minutes you will suddenly find yourself getting into the flow because you've gone past that painful period. So the Pomodoro technique is effective in many different aspects.8. Which is an example of using the Pomodoro technique?A. Reading a novel for 25 minutes.B. Spending 25 minutes scanning WeChat.C. Setting a timer for 25 minutes to do a tough task.D. Attending a lecture for 25 minutes with two minds.9. What can be inferred about the Pomodoro technique from paragraph 2?A. The first two minutes is vital.B. 25 minutes is a magic number.C. More research is around the corner.D. You may get discouraged when using il.10. Why is the tidbit mentioned in paragraph 3?A. To further explain the Pomodoro technique.B. To arouse interest in the Pomodoro technique.C. To highlight how to use the Pomodoro technique.D. To prove the effectiveness of the Pomodoro technique.11. How does the Pomodoro technique work?A. It boosts your concentration.B. It helps your mind go faster.C. It urges you to finish your work.D. It shortens the pain time in your brain.Nothing is “new and improved" anymore. It's all about the plus."Something exciting is happening in March ," flowed out an email from CBS All Access, alerting subscribers that the streaming service is being renamed Paramount + . The company seeks to keep pace with Apple TV+, ESPN +, Disney +, BET +, AMC + and others.Video services didn't start this. The Apple II + came out in 1979 and Crest + toothpaste in 2002, But TV streaming companies now apparently must be branded plus, for fear that consumers perceive their offerings as a minus (减). Much of this has to do with justifying a monthly charge for television-which used to be free. A more complete name would be “Paramount + a Bill. ”Hulu used to have a "plus" service, which was a misnomer (误称)since what customers got with it was the absence of ads. "We've had fun with our old friend Plus, the company explained in a 2015 email, “but it's time to move on. We just wanted to let you know that we are retiring the Hulu Plus name. From now on, we will just be known as Hulu. No ' Plus.Yet other streaming services have been drawn to the plus, thanks in large part to the success of Disney+, which added 86 million subscribers during its first year. Disney also operates ESPN + and , outside the U. S. ,Star + .A funny thing about marketing : A plus is always a plus but a minus is never a minus- even though more products are notable for what they cut down. Budweiser wouldn't call its lower- calorie beer Bud- . There are fat-free potato chips and cookies, but Pringles -- or Oreos -- is abandoned.Americans have a fondness for plus-size portions, plus-size clothing and media that have plus signs in their names. Mercifully, the plus thing hasn't yet reached more important aspects of our lives.12. What does the underlined word "this" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Apple service.B. Video service.C. Plus service.D. Streaming service.13. What can we learn about Hulu?A. Hulu has no ads put in.B. Hulu no longer follows suit.C. Hulu suffered a great loss.D. Hulu cheated its subscribers.14. Why wouldn't Budweiser call its lower-calorie beer Bud- ?A. To avoid misunderstandingsB. To improve the beer's quality.C. To keep pace with other companies.D.

山东省青岛市第二十中学2021-2022学年高三英语模拟试题含解析

山东省青岛市第二十中学2021-2022学年高三英语模拟试题含解析一、选择题1. I can the house being untidy, but I hate it if it’ s not clean.A. come up withB. put up withC. turn toD. stick to参考答案:B考查动词短语辨析。

说话人表达的是“我可以忍受房子不整洁,但是……”。

put up with“忍受”。

其他选项中,come up with想出,turn to转向,求助于,翻到;stick to坚持。

2. According to the new traffic regulations,the punishment of running a yellow light is____to running a red one.A. oppositeB. equalC. particularD. open参考答案:B3. We tend to have a better memory for things that excite our senses or our emotions than for straight facts.A. block off.B. appeal toC. subscribe toD. come across参考答案:B试题分析:句意:与事实相比,我们更趋向于对那些令我们激动或者吸引我们的事情有一个好的记忆。

A. block off意为封锁, B. appeal to意为吸引, C. subscribe to意为订阅, D. come across意为遇到。

该句的句式使用到了一个比较句式以及一个定语从句,看起来有一点复杂,其实这道题的关键就是连词or,or意思是或者,用于并列句。

ASome books to look forward to in2024The first few months of2024are piled with exciting and interesting reads.If you're looking to get a jump ahead on the holds from your local library,here are just a few books we're looking forward to.James by Percival EverettCelebrated author Percival Everett gives us Huckleberry Finn from Jim's point of view.It's far from a straight re-telling,though.Instead,Everett(but off his2001book Erasure being adapted into the film American Fiction)uses the beats of the original story to give us a send up of language and race.(Pub.March.19)The Familiar by Leigh BardugoThis standalone fantasy was inspired by the best-selling author's own family history.It takes place during the Spanish Golden Age and follows a servant,hiding the fact that she can perform miracles.(Pub.Apr.9)Private Equity by Carrie SunA memoir(回忆录)about the daughter of Chinese immigrants who ended up becoming an assistant to a billionaire

Hoyin,a16-year-old student at Hong Kong International School,has devoted the past seven years to writing fiction.He has already published two novels,and a third is on the way.Sau's journey as a writer began in the4th grade when he started a school“passion project”,leading him to create his first novel Pym.This story follows Luke Connors,an ordinary boy who grew into a brave fighter against evil.Sau's fiction evolved with his own personal growth.At the age of13,he created Pyro2.a story when Connors faces challenges that mirror Sau's struggles with math.“I tried to overcome these challenges on my own at first hut finally found that I need to seek the aid of others,”he said.In the novel,Connors learns that in moments of great challenges.seeking help from those around him is a test ament(证明)to growth.Currently,Sun is working on Pyro3,a project enriched by his global travels and diverse cultural experiences.“I treat writing as a way to record my life and express myself.It also helps me to think deeply about various issues,”he said.Sau spends two to three hours on weekends on his writing and around two hour d daily during breaks.To practice his skills,Sau also joined a literary club at school,exchanging insights into his fiction with his peers.“In arts and literature class,our teacher also nurtures(培养)our creativity by teaching creative poetry.”Sau added.For instance,inspired by the English language poem Show With Buddha he learned in class,he wrote Playing Saxophone With the Statue of Liberty in d imagined the statue dropped her torch or a moment,playing jour while thinking about whether the truths of American liberty are really held or not.Sau also shares his essays and poetry on his personal website and takes part in writing competitions.This summer,he won the Harbinger Prize awarded by Harbingers'Magazine,a weekly journal in the US.Next year,Sau will start university and is resolute in his decision to major in literature.“For me,literature is a utopia(乌托邦)where I can not only express myself but also enjoy the beauty of language,its purity and its lasting power.”he said.4.What drove Sou Hoyin'm take up writing?A.A special school program.B.An unforgettable journey.C.His teacher's encouragement.D.His childhood's experience.5.What can we learn from paragraph2?A.Sau is unwilling to learn Math at school.B.Sau's works are

against EvilC.A Teen Writer's Dream:Sau Hoyin's Quest for FameD.A Popular Blogger's Rise:Luke Connor's Journey to SuccessCWe breathe,eat and drink tiny particles of plastic.But are these in the body harmless.dangerous or somewhere in between?A small study published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine raises more questions than it answers about how these hits might affect the heart.The study involved257people who had surgery to clear blocked blood vessels in their ing two methods,researchers found evidence of plastics-mostly invisible nanoplastics—in150patients and no evidence of plastics in107patients.They followed these people for three years.During that time,30or20%of those with plastics had a heart attack,stroke or died from any cause,compared to8or about8%of those with no evidence of plastics.The researchers also found more evidence of inflammation(炎症)in the people with the plastic bits in their blood vessels.Inflammation is the body's response to injury and is thought to raise the risk of heart attacks and stroke.“I hope that the alarming message will raise the consciousness of citizens,especially governments,to finally become aware of the importance of the health of our planet.”said Dr.Raffaele Marfella of the University of Campania in Italy.Nevertheless,the study was very small and looked only at people with narrowed arteries(动脉),who were already at risk for heart attack and stroke.The patients with the plastics had more heart disease,diabetes and high cholesterol(胆固醇)than the patients without plastics.They were more likely to be men and more likely to be smokers.The researchers tried to adjust for these risk factors during their statistical analysis,but they may have missed important differences between the groups that could account for the results.This kind of study cannot prove that the plastics caused their problems.“More research is needed and it is the first report suggesting a connection between microplastics and nanoplastics with disease in humans,”said Dr.Philip Landrigan of Boston College.Other scientists have found plastic bits in the lungs,liver,blood,and breast milk,“It does not prove cause and effect,but it suggests cause and effect,”he said,“And it needs urgently to be either confirmed or disproven(反驳)by other studies done by other investigators in other populations.”8.What did the study find about the plastics in blood?A.They are visible and detectable.B.They may raise the risk of serious injuries.C.They need to be removed by surgery.D.They may account for a higher rate of heart attacks.9.What did Raffaele Marfella suggest?A.Immediate action should be taken by government.B.Alarming message should be spread widely and quickly.C.The awareness of the harm of plastic bits should be enhanced.D.Joint efforts must be made to keep healthy physically and mentally.10.What does paragraph5mainly talk about regarding the study?A.Limitations.B.Advantages.C.Causes.D.Effects.11.What did Dr.Philip Landrigan think of the study?A.Helpful but unrealistic.B.Pioneering but impractical.C.Distinctive but unnecessary.D.Suggestive but inconclusive.DImagine a bus y restaurant:dishes clattering,music playing and people talking loudly.It's a wonder that anyone in that environment can focus enough.In an earlier study.researchers established that people can separately control how much they focus(by enhancing relevant information)and how much they filter(by tuning out distraction).Recently,Neuroscientist Ritz compared the process to muscle coordination(协调)in his study:“In the same way that we bring together more than50muscles to perform a physical task like using chopsticks,our study found we can coordinate different forms of attention in order to perform brain activities.”To explore this,Ritz administered a cognitive task to participants while measuring their brain activity. Participants saw a mass of green and purple dots moving left and right.The tasks involved distinguishing between the movement and colors of the dots.For example,participants in one exercise had to select which color was in the majority for the rapidly moving dots with purple and green percentages close to50/50.“You can regard the intraparietal sulcus(脑顶内沟)as a radio dial with two knobs.one for focusing and one for filtering,”Ritz said,“When the anterior cingulate cortex(前扣带皮层)recognizes that,for instance,motion is making the task more difficult,it directs the intraparietal sulcus to adjust the filtering knob to reduce the sensitivity to motion and might also direct the intraparetal sulcus to adjust the focusing knob to increase the sensitivity to color. Now the relevant brain regions are less sensitive to motion and more sensitive to the color,so the participant can make better selection.Nowadays,much is still being explored about attention coordination.A partnership with scientists at Brown University is investigating focus and-filter strategies in patients with treatment-resistant depression;one study co-led by Rita and Brown Ph,D.students examines the impact of financial rewards and penalties(处罚)on focus -and-filter strategies.“We all know there is still a considerable journey ahead.”Ritz said.12.What is the main focus of the new study?A.The process behind brain activities in humans.B.The relationship between mental state and attention.C.The mechanism of focusing and filtering coordination.D.The impart of noisy environment on humans attention.13.What role does the dots'movement play in the task?A.A distractor for participants.B.A tracking target for the test.C.A main factor to evaluate the task.D.A warning for participants to focus.14.What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph4refer to?A.The focusing knob.B.The intraparietal sulcus.C.The filtering knob.D.The anterior cingulate cortes.15.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.There are some challenges of the attention research.B.Ongoing research projects are based on these findings.C.Focus-and-filter strategies can solve depression problems.D.Motivation ways to drive attention are well applied in treatment.第二节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文。

AThe State of Colorado has four of the best parks out of the 58 national parks in the United States. The parks have some of the best scenery of all the national parks.Black Canyon (峡谷) of Gunnison National ParkThis park offers the most breathtaking views from up in the mountains into the canyons below. While exploring the canyons, you will find that the walls drop nearly straight down into the narrow valleys of the snake-like rivers below. Visitors are offered more than 100 camping sites, and a lot of bird species and many animals are native to the area.Rocky Mountain National ParkIt is the only national park in the north central region in the state of Colorado. Elevations in this park are anywhere from 8,000 feet to 14,259 feet at the top of Longs Peak. While traveling throughout this park you will notice two very different climates because of the difference the upper peaks of the Rocky Mountains make. You can enjoy 359 miles of hiking trails, a lot of places for camping, horse-back riding and beautiful scenery.Mesa Verde National ParkThis is probably the most interesting national park, offering a fascinating trip back in time to 600 AD up to 1300 AD.This park was declared a protected national park in 1906 because of the cliff dwellings(住所) that were found throughout the area, which were once home to AmericanIndians. Many of these dwellings can be walked through, while you imagine what each room may have been used for so many years ago.Great Sand Dunes (沙丘) National ParkThe Great Sand Dunes National Park lies in south central Colorado, about 127 miles from Pueblo. This park has the tallest sand dunes in all of North America and has trails for hiking. The natural sandy beaches around the small rivers and lakes are good for swimmers.21.What’s the most breathtaking thing in the Black Canyon of Gunnison National Park?A.The animals.B.The walls.C.The hiking trails.D.The camping sites.22.If you are interested in history, you are advised to visit________.A.the Mesa Verde National ParkB.the Rocky Mountain National ParkC.the Great Sand Dunes National ParkD.the Black Canyon of Gunnison National Park23.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A.Telling people some traveling information in Colorado.B.Persuading people to visit Colorado when in America.C.Introducing the best four parks in Colorado to people.D.Showing people which park is the best of the four in Colorado.BGoffin’s cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a “keyhole” in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped “keys” to choose from. Inserting the correct “key” would let out the nut.In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical (对称的) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an “allocentric frame of reference”. In the experiment, Goffin’s cockatoos were able to selectthe right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial-and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin’s cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in ce, similar to two-year-old babies.The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues (线索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.24. How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment?A. By following instructions.B. By using a tool.C. By turning the box around.D. By removing the lid.25. Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text?A. Using a key to unlock a door.B. Telling parrots from other birds.C. Putting a ball into a round hole.D. Grouping toys of different shapes.26. What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos?A. How far they are able to see.B. How they track moving objects.C. Whether they are smarter than monkeys.D. Whether they use a sense of touch in the test.27. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Cockatoos: Quick Error CheckersB. Cockatoos: Independent LearnersC. Cockatoos: Clever Signal-ReadersD. Cockatoos: Skillful Shape-SortersCCherie Burns is author of Diving for Starfish—The Jeweler, The Actress, The Heiress and One of the World’s Most Alluring Pieces of Jewelry, a stylish detective story with a piece of glittering French vintage jewelry at its heart was published by St. Martin’s Press on February 27, 2018.

And because his lessons are public, he said he’s received fan mails from as far as the United Kingdom and Kenya. “These little kids really need to have some normalcy(常态),” he said. “They’re used to seeing specific faces every day, mine being one of them.”While Means said he works almost straight through every weekend on new 10-to 20-minute episodes, he said seeing video reactions showing strengthened bonds between parent and child has made the extra work worthwhile. One father, for example, regularly submitted videos of his daughter, sitting alone and responding to Means’ weekly questions. Halfway through the school year, the videos changed. “There was this very burly (魁梧的) man who is now in the video with his daughter singing ‘the bell on the buoy goes ding ding ding!’ and touching his nose,” Means said. “You can see how much he loves his daughter.

2021年高三下学期第六次模拟考试英语试题含答案第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)AEvery year holidays Broughton teams up with Sopraviva Trekking to offer twelve days of unforgettable adventure in a tropical rain forest.Depending on where this year’s rain forest adven ture is located, you may be going to Borneo, Malaysia ,Indonesia, or even to the greatest rain forest of them all, the mighty Amazonian forest.You will fly with your fellow adventurers to one of our special base camps at the edge of the forest, where you will be given five days of survival training ,and talks on the local wildlife by trained and experienced experts.You will also go on walks which take you deeper and deeper under the forest canopy until on your final night you camp out in the rain forest itself.Then you transfer by bus into the forest itself.If you go on one of the Asian holidays, you will have to walk the final miles to the camp site itself, to avoid disturbing the local ecology.All of the Sopraviva sites have been carefully built to conform with the latest regulations, and to cause the minimal amount of disturbance to the local wildlife.From the camp ,you will go on daily walking tours to experience for yourselfthe beauty and diversity of the forests, and plants and vegetation that can be found nowhere else on the planet.Remember that these adventure holidays take you deep into the wilderness ,and they are not suitable for families with young children or for anyone who is not physically able to meet the demands of this kind of adventure.Also remember that in order to preserve the delicate ecological system that you will be walking through ,no more than two dozen guests can stay at any camp at one time, so if you want to go on one of these very special holidays ,you will need to book early!1.If you want to go on the camp ,you will first have to .A.attend talks on the local wildlife B.have survival trainingC.walk the final five miles D.book beforehand 2.What does the organizer of the camp mainly stress?A.Disturbing the local ecology.B.Preserving the forest environment.C.Private possessions and possible dangers.D.The survival training 3.Go on daily walking tours and you’ll enjoy.A.the wilderness B.the Amazonian forest C.the Asian forest D.the forest canopyB“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence.When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email,I laughed.I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.Obviously,it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on,my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting.I was too thrilled to believe her.Her words could not convince me at all.So I did a research on Google..To my surprise,there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see.” This sentence has been widely used in emails,letters,newspapers,movies,books,or any other possible places.Though it is sort of informal,it is part of the language that Americans use daily.Ironically,if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word,the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence.Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies.In the 1930s,Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens.Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius.“Long time no see” was his trademark.Soon afterCharlie Chan,“Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew.All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together,and they change the color and taste of each other.American Chinese,though a minority ethnic(少数民族的成员) group in the United States,is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese,such as pizza from Italian,susi from Japanese,and déjà vu from French etc.There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others.They will modify it and make it their own,so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant,or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store.Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays,I believe more Chinese words will bee American English in the future.In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor.4.The writer himself felt surprised at ______.A.the Chinglish expression “Long time no see”B.“Long time no see” used as standa rd American EnglishC.so many literal translation of the expressions used in AmericaD.finding out Americans use the expression every day5.The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means ______.A.mixture literature B.Confucius’ wordsC.a kind of cooked dish D.American changing cultures 6.According to the passage,it can be inferred that ______.A.detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”B.Hollywood made “Long time no see” popularC.the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languagesD.cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew7.The main idea of the passage is that ______.A.some Chinese expressions are introduced into EnglishB.you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in AmericaC.some American expressions can be used in ChinaD.American English keep being enriched from different culturesCKids will often ignore your requests for them to shut off the TV, start their chores(杂事),or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions.B efore you know it, you’ve started to sound like a broken record as yourepeatedly ask them to do their assignments, clean their room, or take out the trash. Rather than saying “Do your chores now.”you’ll be more effective if you set a target time for when the chores have to be pleted. So instead of arguing about starting chores, just say, “If chores aren’t done by 4 pm, here are the consequences.”Then it’s up to your child to plete the chores. Put the ball back in their court. Don’t argue or fight with th em, just say, “That’s the way it’s going to be.”It shouldn’t be punitive(惩罚性的)as much as it should be persuasive. “If your chores aren’t done by 4 pm, then no video game time until chores are done. And if finishing those chores runs into homework time, th at’s going to be your loss.” On the other hand, when dealing with homework, keep it very simple. Have a time when homework starts, and at that time, all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done. If your kids say they have no homework, then they should use that time to study or read. Either way, there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off.When a kid wears his iPod or headphones when you’re trying to talk to him, make no bones about it;he is not ignoring you, he is disrespecting you. At that point, everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears. Don’t try to municate with him when he’s wearing headphones —even if he tellsyou he can hear you. Wearing them while you’re talkin g to him is a sign of disrespect. Parents should be very tough about this kind of thing. Remember, mutual respect bees more important as children mature.8.When the kid is doing his homework, parents ________.A.should provide him with a good learning environmentB.can do whatever they likeC.can stay aside watching TVD.must switch off the power9.Parents will be able to deal with their children more effectively if they ________.A.avoid direct ways of punishment B.make them do things at their request C.argue and fight with their children D.allow their children to behave in their own way10.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.parents should take off his headphones when trying to have a talk with their childB.it will make no difference that a kid is wearing his earplugs while talking to his parentsC.parents shouldn’t give in to their kid when he shows no sign of respectD.kids’ purposely talking to their parents with iPod gives them a sense of power and control11.The main idea of the passage is ________.A.that respecting each other is more important than anything elseB.how kids behave to ignore and disrespect their parentsC.that children should make choices and decisions on their ownD.how parents can deal with their kids’ behavior e ffectivelyDTracey Hermanstorfer's heart stopped beating and her son Coltyn appeared lifeless after the Caesarean(剖腹产术)section on Christmas Eve. However a few minutes after he was born, both began breathing again. Dr Stephanie Martin told Good Morning America she could not explain how the pair survived. Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike told the American television show that their baby was now healthy and that they were doing “good” following the drama at Colorado Springs Memorial Hospital.The couple, who already had two children, had to go into the hospital seven weeks earlier than planned. Her husband, 37, said his wife was tired after receiving an epidural(硬脑膜外麻醉)during the labour(分娩)but after closing her eyes, she “wasn't waking up”.She stopped breathing and she is believed to havesuffered a heart attack before her heart stopped beating entirely.Dr Martin said she was called in and that the outlook was grim since in most situations like this,“despite the best efforts of the team”, the mother was often unable to be revived. In that case doctors then tried to focus on delivering the baby but when he was born he was “pletely lifeless”.Mr. Hermanstorfer told the Associated Press news agency,“I had everything in the world taken from me, and in an hour and a half I had everything given to me.”Dr Martin said she did not have a “great explanation” for why Mrs Hermanstorfer's heartbeat returned. “Somewhere between four and five minutes she had been without heart rate and had stopped breathing a minute or two prior to her heart stopping,” she said. The doctors were then able to bring the baby back to life, and the mother was alive after that.Despite tests, she said doctors were still not sure about what had happened. However Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike have said they believed it was down to a miracle. She said:“I got a second chance in life.”12.What might have happened to Tracey Hermanstorfer just before her heart stopped beating?A.She became unconscious. B.She took a nap.C.She had a bad headache. D.She suffered a heart attack.13.Which of the following is the correct order of what happened to Tracey Hermanstorfer?a.suffering a heart attackb.stopping heart beating entirelyc.stopping breathingd.ing back to lifee.receiving an epiduralf.producing a babyA.a c f d b e B.f c a d b e C.e a c b f d D. e a b c f d14.What feelings did Mr. Hermanstorfer experience during the incident?A. Sad and delighted. B.Disappointed and depressed.C. Sad and angry.D. Touched and regrettable. 15.Which of the following words best expresses Dr Martin's attitude towards Tracey Hermanstorfer's ing back to life?A. Shocked.B. Puzzled. C.Normal. D.
