With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first “grown-up” dolls to hit the retail market.Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that dominated little girls’ toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless clothing and career choices. Inspired by paper dolls of the time, Handler, to much disagreement, made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman.“My own philosophy of Barbie,” Handler wrote in her autobiography, “was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.”There’s even a Barbie for cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and CureSearch that sends a bald (光头的) Barbie to families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous,” Michelle, a cancer survivor said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo (化疗), or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll ‘It’s time to be beautiful again.’”Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll — she was a means of communication and a coping4．Why did Handler create Barbie?A．To make a hit in the retail market.B．To appeal to girls with her diverse outfits.C．To do a project on women’s career choices.D．To inspire girls to make choices as they wish.5．How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie?A．Sad yet comforted.B．Envious yet proud.C．Overwhelmed and ashamed.D．Heartbroken and regretful.6．What does Brave Barbie mean to Michelle’s family?A．A reliable emotional support.B．A glue for broken relationships.C．An effective practical treatment.D．A secret medium of negotiation. 7．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A medical journal.B．A charity brochure.C．A financial report.D．A story collection.When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez takes down any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself without any disturbance from the driver, and cope with all situations on the road. But this proving hard to achieve,ride-hailing service, sold off its unit developing self-driving cars at a low price.Autonomous vehicles are boasted as being not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, machines are no exception. The RAND Corporation, an American think-tank, calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, a fleet of 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and cover 14 billion kilometres. At average road speeds, that would take about 400 years.Carmakers such as Porsche therefore accelerate the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about danger only rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines”, the programs that generate photo realistic images in computer games, to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive.regulators and customers will need to overcome doubt that a software driver really can be safer than human. From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is one other relevant question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off what they regard as their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those boasting rights away?8．What do the underlined words “scale back” mean in Paragraph 1?A．Make B．Overlook.C．Encourage.D．Reduce. 9．The learning process of autonomous vehicles’ safe driving can be describedas___________.A．time-consuming B．fast-paced C．thought-provoking D．well-designed 10．What challenge do autonomous vehicles bring to Porsche?A．Ensuring the pleasure of driving B．Making their sports cars affordable.C．Removing public doubts about safety.D．Integrating game engines into theirvehicles.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Porsche: Sports Cars at Risk B．Self-driving Cars: Still Some Way to Go C．Simulators: The Core of Autonomous Vehicles D．Machine Learning Algorithms: The Arrival of AlGoldfish may seem like simple creatures swimming in a glass tank, but they possess a rather complicated navigation system, as discovered by researchers at the University of Oxford Led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS.Writing in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Sibeaux and colleagues report how they created a tank in their experiment with 2cm-wide black and white vertical stripes (条纹) on the walls, connected by similar stripes across the floor. The team trained nine goldfish to swim a set distance of 70cm and then return to their starting point when waved at. The experiment aimed to investigate how the fish would estimate this distance without any gestures, under different patterns.Over multiple trials, the goldfish averaged a swim distance of 74cm, give or take 17cm,altered to either narrower vertical stripes, checked patterns, or horizontal stripes, the fish’s behavior changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimating the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations.According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an “optic (光学的) flow mechanism” based on the visual density of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled. The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals, including humans, based on angular (有角度的) motion of visual features. The study implies that the use of visually based distance information could have emerged early in the evolutionary timeline.“This study is novel because, despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance, we don’t know how they estimate distances,” Professor Colin Lever, although not involved in the study, said, “it’s exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.”12．Why did Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux conduct the study on goldfish?A．To test the accuracy of goldfish’s internal GPS.B．To create an advanced navigation system for humansC．To uncover how an inbuilt GPS helps calculate distances.D．To explore the relationships between goldfish and humans13．What can we learn about the experiment?A．People gestured the goldfish throughout the experimentB．The tank was decorated with colorful background patternsC．Goldfish tended to underestimate distances with horizontal stripes.D．The change in the tank setting led to the goldfish's incorrect judgment.14．It can be concluded from the fourth paragraph that ____________.A．optic flow mechanism is unique to humansB．mammals developed flow mechanism long before goldfishC．goldfish evaluated the distance with multidimensional visual informationD．visual density of the environment strengthened the locating ability of goldfish 15．What attitude does Professor Colin hold towards the study?A．Neutral.B．Ambiguous.C．Disapproving.D．Favorable.A majority of the people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline to distant to the present context. Love foreventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic?Don’t be afraid to be confused.We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. 17 Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.Research, research, research.18 Researching the author-and the time and place they were writing about-can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.Just pick the book up.This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. 19 Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula.Remember: there is no right answer.There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. 20 Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable!A．It is a gradual affair.B．Allow the book to grow with you.C．It has some form of historical influence.D．Before you turn to page one, do some digging.E．Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.F．Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.G．Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically.Gang (团伙) tensions were rising at Southwood High School.

Alps in2022,John McAvoy was38kilometres into a very exhausting ultramarathon through rough mountain paths.Battling tiredness,he pushed his body and mind through the final leg of the race.With the finish arch in the famous town of Chamonix just four kilometres away and the cloud-topped peak of Mont Blanc high over him,McAvoy welled up with emotion.In that moment,he felt so free and alive.It was quite the opposite from where his life had been a decade before.He had just been released from prison after serving a10-year sentence.Now40years old,McAvoy has spent the last10years rebuilding his life from one of crime to one with purpose.It was on this day,while running the ultramarathon,that he realized how impactful conquering(征服)this mountain run could be for inner-city kids like him.After all,sport had helped him live a normal life again and open up his world.It could do the same for others.With the help of Youth Beyond Borders,McAvoy started the Alpine Run Project,which recently led12disadvantaged British young people through their own Mont Blanc races.The participants,from refugees(难民)to young reformed criminals and those who grew up in Children’s home,were matched with coaches,consultants and physiotherapists.After a six-month training program,the youth travelled to the Alps to meet up with McAvoy for their race.McAvoy says the highlight of this project for him was watching Yasmin Mahamud,a 20-year-old refugee from Syria,run through the finish arch and into the arms of her new friends.It was a life-changing high for Mahamud,too-inspiring her to keep running,take up martial arts and go to university to study physiotherapy.“It changed my point of view on life,says Mahamud.Pushing herself to complete the race gave her a brief experience of her own potential through hard work and devotion.”I will always be thankful to John for giving me this opportunity and guidance.4．How did McAvoy feel before the finish arch?A．He felt totally collapsed.B．He was peaceful and hopeful.C．He was satisfied with his pace.D．He felt as if completely reborn. 5．What can we learn about McAvoy from paragraph3?A．He was a builder10years ago.B．He realized the importance of

teenager.D．A skilled athlete.7．What message does McAvoy’s story convey?A．Live for the moment.B．Dream big and climb high.C．After the storm comes the rainbow.D．Run after the light and become the light.People have come to understand the enormous impacts-beneficial as well as harmful-plastics have on human lives and the environment.As polymer(聚合物)scientists committed to inventing sustainable solutions for real-world problems,we set out to tackle the issue of plastic waste by rethinking the way polymers are designed so we could make plastics with recyclability built right in.Everyday items including milk jug,grocery bags,and takeout containers are made from a class of polymers called polyolefins.These plastics are really durable(耐用的)because the chemical bonds in those polymers are extremely stable.In a world set up for disposable(一次性的)items,durability is no longer a design feature but rather a design drawback.Imagine if half the plastics used today were recyclable through twice as many processes as they are now. Also conventional recycling requires careful sorting of all the collected materials,which can be challenging with so many different plastics.For example,separating paper from metal doesn’t require complex technology,but sorting a container from a milk jug of a different polyolefin is difficult to do without the occasional mistake.In a study published in Science in October2023,we described a series of polymers with only two building blocks-one soft polymer and one hard polymer-that behave like polyolefins but could be chemically recycled.Connecting two different polymers multiple times until they form a single,long molecule(分子)creates what’s called a multiblock polymer.By changing how much of each polymer type goes into the multiblock polymer,our teamproduced a wide range of materials with properties that covered all polyolefin types.Using the same strategy but by adding hydrogen,we could disconnect the polymers back into their building blocks and easily separate them to use again.When we made new polymers out of these recycled plastics,they performed just as well as the original materials even after several rounds of chemical recycling.So we were able to create materials with similar properties of the plastics the world relies on.We believe this work is a step toward more sustainable plastics.8．What is paragraph2mainly about concerning plastics?A．Their multiple uses.B．Their chemical properties.C．Their recycling challenges.D．Their classification criteria.9．A key factor of producing diverse multiblock polymers is______.A．mixing building blocks with long moleculesB．integrating chemicals into the two polymersC．combining two different multiblock polymersD．adjusting the percentage of the two polymers10．Which is a feature of multiblock polymers?A．They are made from sustainable materials.B．They can be recycled by adding hydrogen.C．Their reliability outperforms traditional plastics.D．Their properties change with rounds of recycling.11．Which of the following might be the best title?A．Designing for Recycling B．Classifying Plastic WasteC．Replace Plastics with Polymers D．Technology Creates the FutureHiring processes can be thought of as a battle between integrity and dishonesty.You might imagine this is a simple fight between truth-seeking firms and self-promoting candidates,and to a certain extent it is.But companies themselves are prone(有倾向的)to bend reality out of shape in ways that are self-defeating.Start with the obvious wrongdoers:job applicants.When it comes to writing the resume (简历),they tend to massage(美化)reality into the most appealing shape possible.Everyone beyond a certain level of experience is a transformational leader personally responsible for generating millions income;the world economy would be about15times bigger than itactually is if all such claims were true.The average British spends four and a half hours a day watching TV and online videos.But each average job candidate is an enthusiast for public welfare,using their spare time only for worthy purposes,like volunteering in soup kitchens.But the tendency to stretch the truth infects companies as well as applicants.The typical firm will write a job description that invariably describes the work environment as fast-paced and innovative,and then lays out a set of improbable requirements for the“ideal candidate”, someone who almost by definition does not exist.Sometimes,the requirements include an ability to go back and change the course of history.Too few firms offer an accurate account of what a position actually involves in their job previews,which are supposed to give prospective employees a genuine sense of the negatives and positives of the job,as well as a clear idea of the company’s corporate culture.One effective strategy is to lay out in text or video,what a typical day in the role would look like.Such honesty can be its own reward.Research has long suggested that realistic job previews lead to lower turnover and higher employee satisfaction.A paper in2011by David Eamest of Towson University and his co-authors concluded that favourable perceptions of the organisation’s honesty are the best explanation for why.So a process designed to uncover the truth about job applicants would run a lot more smoothly if firms were also honest about themselves.12．Why are“leader”and“enthusiast”mentioned in paragraph2?A．To present a rule.B．To clarify a fact.C．To make a comparison.D．To explain a phenomenon. 13．What does the underlined word“stretch”in paragraph3mean?A．Overstate.B．Overturn.C．Overlook.D．Overestimate. 14．What are job previews expected to be like in paragraph4?A．They show a position as it is.B．They are made either in text or video.C．They are favorable for bigger firms.D．They mainly contain negatives of a job. 15．What does the text mainly talk about?A．Pains and gains of employees.B．How to get the lying out of hiring.C．How to be more appealing in hiring.D．A wrestle between applicants andcompanies.It’s not so long ago that contactless card payments were exciting and new,but thetechnology is already old-hat.The new,better way to pay for things in shops?By using your phone to make a contactless payment.Because traditionally,when you have paid with a card tap(轻敲)or using a chip and pin machine,ultimately the shop you are buying from will be noting down all of your card details. 16And this could be a problem—it means that if the shop is hacked(侵入)or plays fast and loose with its data,you could find your card number exposed to the world.However,when you tap to pay with your device,it generates a unique ID number for that deal and sends that instead.So you can pay for your goods and the shop can get your money.17That is to say,phone payments are smarter.18If a pickpocket steals your card they can immediately use up the money. But if they get your phone,when the phone goes to pay it will typically perform a biometric check-it will ask for a finger-print or use the camera to look at your face,to check that you are who you say you are.19Because of this added security,the limit(限额)is typically higher than for contactless cards.In the UK,it’s around£100for most retailers-though some shops including most supermarkets let you spend much more with just a tap of the phone.Want to give it a try?To actually set things up,go to your Wallet app and follow the instructions.20Then it will automatically recognise the numbers and connect with your ually you receive a text message with a special code on it.And then,well, you’re done.When you pay,hold your phone over the payment machine,and pay for your goods!A．It helps to build the client list.B．The setup process varies with banks.C．No one needs to share any sensitive data.D．It’s also more effective against the threat of thefts.E．And phone payments are increasingly convenient too.F．Typically this starts by scanning your card with your phone.G．Therefore,it knows which bank account to take the money from.二、完形填空My long-distance cycling career of13years and35,000kilometres ended as Iapproached75.Although I am now no longer strong enough to21the long days and big climbs,day in and day out,I have my memories.The road behind is just memories,some soon to be forgotten,others to be22 and enhanced with the retelling.A6000-kilometre cross-country ride initially appears 23,but,once done,it is simply done,much like the challenges that life24.Real25would come when I was alone on my bicycle.I enjoyed meeting and even26the daily targets I had set for myself.I enjoyed the technical challenges faced by tire bursts and loose handlebars,but27not at that time.I loved cycling with a strong tailwind pushing me along and hated28into a strong headwind.I loved striking up conversations with a diversity of people and sincerely appreciated the support and comfort they29.Long distance cycling brings unbearable exhaustion,long hours of anxiety,even fear and desperation,but these30into insignificance,compared to the joy and31 of climbing huge mountains or seeing fantastic sights for the first time.The experiences add newness and32to my life and the memories are33.Most importantly,cycling taught me to know myself better.It eventually dawned on me that I had more34and courage than I ever imagined.The self-awareness and long-lasting memories will give me enormous35as I carry on my life journey. 21．A．appreciate B．choose C．expect D．stand 22．A．treasured B．explored C．created D．discussed 23．A．boring B．annoying C．confusing D．discouraging 24．A．overcomes B．greets C．throws D．ignores 25．A．loneliness B．joy C．convenience D．panic 26．A．making B．changing C．beating D．finalizing 27．A．reasonably B．admittedly C．fortunately D．hopefully 28．A．battling B．slipping C．falling D．wandering 29．A．owned B．offered C．mentioned D．promised 30．A．fit B．pale C．run D．back 31．A．reflection B．anticipation C．satisfaction D．motivation 32．A．secrets B．rules C．decisions D．dimensions 33．A．reliable B．flexible C．inaccessible D．unforgettable 34．A．toughness B．curiosity C．imagination D．wisdom35．A．insight B．knowledge C．power D．admiration三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式Wing Chun is a southern Chinese kung fu style descends from Shaolin Kung Fu.It has the distinction of having been founded by two women,Ng Mui and Yim Wing-chun.The Wing Chun style is known for placing36(emphasize)on technique rather than strength.This style also calls for practitioners to stay relaxed while37 (fight),allowing them to achieve a kind of softness or flexibility.This relaxed flexibility gives Wing Chun fighter38special kind of strength that allows them to bend,not break, just like bamboo.Legend has it that Wing Chun founder Ng Mui was living at Shaolin Temple39 it was attacked and destroyed by Qing dynasty forcers.Surviving the attack,she escaped 40the border area between Yunnan and Sichuan.There she met a young woman 41(name)Yim Wing-chun,who42(final)became one of her top students.

Despite the scorching heat, the allure of the Terracotta Army and the Great Wall was irresistible. However, the trip was not without its challenges. I encountered language barriers and got lost in the bustling streets. To overcome these obstacles, I relied on translation apps and local maps, which eventually led me to my destinations. This trip was not just about sightseeing; it was a journey ofself-discovery and cultural immersion. It taught me the importance of adaptability and resilience in the face of adversity. The memories and lessons from this trip will undoubtedly stay with me for a lifetime.【答案】The essay above is a well-structured response to the given prompts.

2024届山东省淄博市高三下学期一模英语-试题含解析
2024届山东省淄博市高三下学期一模英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Good evening everyone!I hope to pick your brain on potential advertising strategies and gaining new customers for my boyfriend’s car repair shop.He has been in business for3years and is fairly successful,but we are trying to increase the number of chargeable hours.While he was doing repair work,I took over all the administrative duties.The first thing on my to-do list was to get him on social media.I was floored that he had no social media presence,which is not surprising considering he is old school.Now,he has a business Facebook page and an Instagram account,although it may not be worth much yet.We are working on a weekly“feature”for both platforms in order to create some interest.He doesn’t want to do coupons(优惠券)or discounts or anything like that,and I understand why.His labor rate is already significantly lower than anyone else in the area,and his overall costs are lower as well.This is where I am a bit lost——how can we effectively attract more customers without a hook?My guess would be focusing on the value,but I’m not sure how well that will work out.We are considering sending postcards as well since he already cooperates with a few local shops who send their large jobs to him and such.However,I am unsure about Facebook marketing,but definitely open.1．What was scheduled first to promote business?A．Working out a weekly feature.B．Increasing chargeable hours.C．Establishing his presence online.D．Visiting his old school.2．How might they attract new clients?A．By raising labor rates.B．By offering discounts and coupons.C．By cutting overall costs.D．By highlighting the value of services. 3．What is the purpose of the text?A．To offer information.B．To seek advice.C．To show advantages.D．To find cooperation.There was no way to escape when they spotted a polar bear.Verena Mohaupt and a handful of colleagues were trapped on a floating sea ice while the bear gazed at them, smelling the air,a dangerous sign.“That’s when everything kicks in,”Mohaupt says,“and you focus on what’s important.”As a colleague fired into the sky as a warning shot,Mohaupt radioed their research ship a few kilometres away,whose helicopter luckily arrived quickly and Mohaupt didn’t have to use the gun that was hanging over her shoulder.Keeping a lookout for bears was a regular duty for Mohaupt,the logistics coordinator(后勤协调员)for a year-long mission known as the MOSAiC——the largest Arctic research exploration in history.The project,consisting of roughly300scientists,led by scientist MarkusRex,has collected massive measurements that will help better forecast how warming will transform the globe in the coming decades.For months,the exploration operated in constant darkness while polar bears wandered nearby,storms rocked the ship and the ice shifted and cracked.Then,when the Sun returned,the ice began to melt,creating a life-threatening risk and a nightmare for researchers who needed to keep their instruments from sinking.Tasked with the security of the mission,Mohaupt designed an extensive training course for the participants in which they learnt how to avoid the danger,like storm-rocking and ice-cracking.They jumped into a Norwegian channel in their survival suits and climbed out of the freezing waters using only their ice picks.They learnt how to escape from a crashed helicopter.And they discussed the psychological effects of being far from home.Mohaupt brought knitting equipment,yoga mats and a violin for their men tal health——although having been prepared for the isolation.Mohaupt didn’t expect a career in polar regions,but says she has always been drawn to the north.“She was there to make sure that we were protected,”says Markus Rex,“Mohaupt is certainly the champion in the field.”4．Why does the author mention a polar bear in the beginning?A．To show the threat of bears.B．To tell an interesting story.C．To introduce Mohaupt’s job.D．To describe the polar scenery. 5．What can we know from paragraph3?A．The working conditions were tough.B．Mohaupt helped to collect massive data.C．The exploration went on in total darkness.D．Mohaupt’s duty was to protect polar bears.6．Which of the following best describes Mohaupt?A．Ambitious and brave.B．Passionate and dependent.C．Considerate and modest.D．Professional and responsible. 7．What is a suitable title for the text?A．A Potential Danger in the Exploration.B．A Guardian Angel of Polar Researchers.C．A Great Scientific Exploration in History.D．A Great Female Scientist in PolarResearch.Chances are you’ve heard the phrase“like a moth to a flame”——and probably seen it in action at a nighttime fire or barbecue,too.It turns out,however,this age-old saying may not be quite right.Rather than being attracted to light,moths’tendency to fly toward brightness is a behavioral response to help them determine which way is up,suggests a new study published in the journal Nature Communications.To avoid falling down to the ground,insects need to know which way is up,says study coauthor Yash Sondhi,a National Geographic Explorer.Without systems to maintain spatial (空间的)orientation,the brightness of the sky,even at night,has always been a strong indicator of“up”——until artificial lights came along.If they mess that up,they start plummeting.Sondhi and a team of researchers set up experiments to investigate how different lights influence flight behavior.First,the researchers suspended a light bulb from a rope between two trees——resembling a typical downward-pointing light——and in a separate test,they turned the light upward by mounting it on a tripod(三脚架).In both cases,insects leaned their winged backs to the bulb.But when the light was pointed up,the insects often bumped to the ground.What if the light is spread over a wide area?The researchers stretched a large white sheet across the tree and projected a UV light on it.If the insects were truly“attracted”to the light,they should fly up toward it.Instead,the insects cruised(巡航)straight through this illuminated corridor,flying how they would during the day.The team then placed the sheet on the ground and shined the light on it,which is when something truly odd happened:All these moths flying over it turned upside down and crashed out of the sky.Directionality of light is ahuge factor in the pattern we have seen,not just brightness or color.“Artificial lights may cause a mismatch between the insect’s sense of which way is up and true direction of gravity,which spells trouble for insects population.”says Sondhi. 8．What can be inferred about“like a moth to a flame”in the new study?A．A moth is generally attracted by a flame.B．Artificial lights are valuable for a moth.C．Brightness indicates up for a moth.D．A moth has a sense of direction. 9．What does the underlined word“plummeting”in paragraph2mean?A．Crashing.B．Speeding.C．Freezing.D．Suspending. 10．What lights influence insects most in the experiments?A．UV lights on the tree.B．Upward-pointing lights.C．Downward-pointing lights.D．Lights of different colors. 11．What is Sondhi’s attitude toward artificial lights?A．Concerned.B．Dismissive.C．Doubtful.D．Neutral.Would you rather watch a new movie,or an old favorite?Would you rather try a dish you’ve never had at a restaurant,or stick with something you know you’ll like?Researchers studying the“mere exposure effect”have found that we often prefer the familiar over the novel.People didn’t need to experience a reward or positive outcome while around the object—simply being exposed to the object would be enough to make people like it.To test this,social psychologist Robert Zajonc had participants read words in a foreign language out loud and varied how often participants read each word(up to25repetitions).Next,after reading the words,participants were asked to guess at the meaning of each word by filling out a rating scale(indicating how positive or negative they thought the meaning of the word was).He found that participants liked words that they had said more often,while words that participants hadn’t read at all were rated more negatively,and words that had been read25 times were rated highest.Just the me re exposure to the word was enough to make participant s like it more.One place where the me re exposure effect occurs is in advertising.It explains why seeing the same advertisement multiple times could be more convincing than just seeing it once.Of course,there’s a caution here:the me re exposure effect doesn’t happen for things we initially dislike.Researchers have found that our liking for a variety of things(includingpictures,sounds,foods,and smells)can be increased with repeated exposure,suggesting that the mere exposure effect isn’t limited to just one of our senses.Additionally,researchers have found that the me re exposure effect occurs in studies with human research participants as well as in studies with non-human animals.Another key finding from this analysis was that participants eventually started to like object s less after many repeated exposures.In other words,a smaller number of repeated exposures will make you like something more——but,if the repeated exposures continue, you could eventually get tired of it.12．What is the key factor in Robert Zajonc’s test?A．Frequency.B．Preference.C．Originality.D．Achievement. 13．Which of the following is an example of mere-exposure effect?A．We favor an advertisement at the first sight.B．A student joined in the club because of love.C．We are more convinced of what we met before.D．A student read as many English words as possible.14．What can we learn about“mere exposure effect”according to paragraph4?A．It is the result of advertising.B．It has nothing to do with animals.C．It is true of what we dislike at first.D．It can be applied to multiple senses. 15．What is the text mainly about?A．More love because of more exposures.B．The study on mere exposure effect.C．Better results from the earlier exposures.D．The application of mere exposure effect.The Power of PeersDo birds of a feather really flock together?People do tend to choose friends who are similar to them.Many behaviors spread socially.Activities in certain brain areas change when other people are around.16You can use the power of social relationships to gain healthier habits—and motivate others to do the same.17Teens are especially responsive to peer influence.At the same time,the reward system in the teen brain becomes extra sensitive.Teens are just learning to explore the social world.Understanding other people’s values and being influenced by them are important parts of socializing.A research shows that even just having another peer around can change the rewardresponse in the brain and also the risk-taking tendencies of teenagers.Some people seem to be more easily influenced than others and more sensitive to feeling included or excluded by others.18But it’s also a time that peer influence can help teens thrive if it gets them more involved with their community or helps them learn behaviors to get along with others.It’s the quality of

Friendships you feel you want to let go of may be low quality.19High quality friendships provide understanding,support,and recognition of your self-worth.These types of friendships are more steady and satisfying.Spending time with friends can be especially helpful for people.Noticing that our behavior is influenced by other people,we can be intentional and try to focus on the people who are doing the things we want to get into ourselves.20A．Adolescence is such a risky period.B．That can affect what you choose to do.C．Peer pressure can sometimes lead to competition.D．People care about what others think across all different age groups.E．They are linked to poor academic performance and behavioral issues.F．Sharing your healthy habits could also make a real difference to others.G．The number of friends you have determines your level of social influence.二、完形填空Matthew Weihmuller,a blind jazz instructor,has been teaching people of different abilities in Tampa for10years.He has21performance at using his disability as a teaching tool.One of his teaching methods is to take away one of the five22, requiring performers to lean more heavily on others.“Something that I do is23the lights.They have to listen and24 their instrument with their fingers and hands.In this way,the students25the material better in the dark,”explained Weihmuller.Being blind has never stopped Weihmuller from seeking his26for music.

AChina is a land of many wonders, ancient and modern, natural and man-made. This hugely popular tour is a comprehensive journey through China’s most iconic sights from the grand Great Wall to the mighty Yangtze River.Starting in the busy capital, Beijing, explore the magnificent Forbidden City and harmonious Temple of Heaven, before a trip to the Great Wall. And then you’ll discover the ancient city walls of Xi’an and come face to face with the life-sized Terracotta Warriors which have been bathed in mystery since their discovery in the 1970s.Next up is a four-night cruise（航游）on the Yangtze River, stopping at many highlights along the way. Witness the world’s largest hydro-electric dam, the Three Gorges, and sail peacefully along the Shennong Stream soaking（沉浸）up the dramatic scenery as you pass riverside villages and forest-covered mountains.No trip to China is complete without seeing their most adorable residents: the giant pandas. Visit Chongqing’s Panda House for a closer look at these playful bears before boarding a high-speed train to the amazing city of Guilin, one of China’s most picturesque regions.The trip ends among the towering skyscrapers of Shanghai, a city where the old and new sit harmoniously side by side. See the city’s contrasting skyline with an evening cruise along the Huangpu River, find peace at the beautiful Yu Gardens and explore the splendid architecture along the Bund（外滩）.Duration: 17 days.Price: £3,840 per person, including all meals, accommodation, transportation and transfers.Free extension: dumpling-making class.1. Which is a must for a complete trip to China according to the text?A. The Great Wall.B. The giant panda.C. The Yangtze River.D. The Forbidden City.2. How do the tourists go to Guilin?A. By train.B. By boat.C. By air.D. On foot.3. What can tourists learn for free during the trip?A. Doing Taichi.B. Producing terracotta.C. Making dumplings.D. Practicing calligraphy.BA man rides at full speed on a single-wheeled bike, leaning back on a seat fixed above a recycled tyre as he performs wheelies（杂技）. This machine is just one of many crazy inventions from Make It Extreme, a You Tube channel run by Michael Mavros and George Shiailis, two best friends who use old materials to create unique and innovative mechanical projects.The partners of this DIY design make the inventions to promote the joys of mechanical engineering and inspire creativity in others.On Make It Extreme, they transform everyday objects and vehicles into extreme versions of themselves, pushing creative boundaries in the process. They build and design their projects, film and edit the entire process, then finally showcase the results.“By passionately crafting furniture, engines, tools, toys and vehicles while using our imagination, we try to offer innovative solutions to various mechanical challenges,” explains Mavros, “We’ve shared this passion since our early years, and now, through our channel, we share it with millions of other people in an easily understandable way.”For its 100th video, Make It Extreme introduced the Monotrack bike, constructed entirely from recycled and old materials. They utilised a 100cc two-stroke engine from an old scooter（摩托车）, cutting the sidewalls of a used car tyre and fitting it around a recycled motor. The bike reflects their commitment to sustainability and creativity, purely for the joy and curiosity it brings.“The idea for the Monotrack bike came from an old wartime photo where we saw a similar vehicle,” says Mavros, “Our creations are often inspired by things we’ve encountered before. For example, the Monowheel, where a person sits inside a huge wheel, was inspired by similar vehicles from decades ago, and our tank chair stemmed from the idea of creating an accessible adventure vehicle for people with limited mobility.”Make It Extreme now has almost two million subscribers who are eager to tune in every month to see the partners’ latest invention. And Mavros promises that 2024 will see them create their most daring project yet.4. Why do Mavros and Shiailis run Make It Extreme?A. To make profits.B. To earn popularity.C. To develop hobby.D. To awaken innovation.5. What do we think of their inventions according to paragraph 5?A. Practical.B. Eco-friendly.C. Costly.D. Convenient.6. What is paragraph 6 mainly about?A. Why the old things were used.B. Where the Monowheel was found.C. What their inspirations originated from.D. How the Monotrack bike was invented.7. What can we learn from Mavros and Shiailis in the text?A. Nothing is impossible.B. Hard work will pay off.C. Success needs perseverance.D. Many hands make light work.CThe apparent complexities of the TikTok algorithm（算法）may actually be as simple as a bag of chips. In avideo with more than 700,000 views, creator Celeste Aria laid out her “Dorito theory”, which she uses to explain the addictive nature of endlessly-scrolling social media feeds.Everyone has a topic they just can’t stop thinking about, and Aria’s Roman Empire is Doritos. In her popular video, she expresses that TikTok scrolling is so addictive because it is never fully satisfying. Like a Dorito, a scrolling session on the For You Page is most stimulating during the first few bites. The end of the chip or video brings a desire to start consuming another one, thus returning to that first-bite feeling.Essentially, the Dorito theory suggests that activities like eating Doritos, which provide a quick burst of pleasure but lack lasting satisfaction, can be highly addictive. Aria compared it to consuming foods that offer deeper satisfaction, like a heart y steak, where the feeling of fullness and contentment lasts longer.The theory can apply to a lot of different experiences, but it’s particularly well-suite d as a metaphor for the dopamine（多巴胺）boosts that occur while scrolling through social media feeds. Dr. Jamie Sorenson, a board-certified psychiatrist, said that the Dorito theory is consistent with existing ideas regarding addiction. “The more immediate the reward is, the more likely we are to repeat that behavior, whether it’s eating Doritos or scrolling on social media.”Aria may not be a licensed medical professional, but she treats junk food the way any nutritionist would. “I’d recommend just trying to remove anything that you think falls into the Dorito category,” she says in her video.The Dorito theory trend has led to reflections on the nature of addiction and the pursuit of instant satisfaction in today’s society, resonating（共鸣）with many TikTok users who recognize similar patterns in their own lives. So, it feels like it’s only a matter of time before Doritos responds to Aria’s theory.8. What do the underlined words “Roman Empire” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. A video.B. A subject.C. A country.D. A snack.9. What makes Aria addicted to chips according to the text?A. Social media.B. Different flavors.C. Lasting satisfaction.D. First-bite feeling.10. How does Aria explain the Dorito theory?A. By introducing a concept.B. By conducting an experiment.C. By making a comparison.D. By quoting an expert’s words.11. What is a suitable title for the text?A. TikTok: an appealing platformB. Celeste Aria: an insightful discovererC. Chips or steaks: a challenging choiceD. The Dorito theory: an ongoing hit onlineDAs people hold different views on almost anything, we live in a judgmental world where people are quick to point out the faults and imperfections of others, yet seem unaware of their own. Some misguided souls believe they have a duty to help you to be a better person by telling you what a failure you really are first and then offering suggestions as to how you can improve.So what is the possible solution to criticism?If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, STOP. Make a conscious decision rather thanfocus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes. You are more likely to offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue of yours, a natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.It is important to remain emotionally attached to what the other person is saying, to listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. In fact, there is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? If so, how can I improve myself? As for chronic（习惯性的）criticizers: It is important to set strict boundary with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.In any case, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact your life or relationship with the other party.12. What may the author think of people who prefer to judge others?A. Warm-hearted.B. Self-centered.C. Talkative.D. Responsible.13. What does a person probably convey by saying “OK” according to paragraph 3?A. He thinks the suggestions are helpful.B. He defenses himself with the response.C. He agrees with the comments completely.D. He wants to avoid unnecessary arguments.14. What is the key to making an objective observer according to paragraph 4?A. Having debates.B. Accepting criticism.C. Keeping calm.D. Avoiding criticizers.15. What is the purpose of the text?A. To make a judgment on others.B. To explain some social behavior.C. To call for action against attack.D. To give advice on facing criticism.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。

It was a year full of poetic discoveries for our editorial team and especially for me. I encountered so many new-to-me poets. Diana Solís from the December 2022 issue and Joyce Mansour from the June 2023 issue are examples of this: poets with whom I was unfamiliar and who have now become part of my daily conversation. Living in Chicago, I might have encountered Diana Solís some other way. She is an icon of revolutionary poetry and photography. What a gift to learn, to be enthusiastic about new poetics like I’m still in the front row of the classroom, trying to do my best.Two truths I’ve learned about Chicago since moving here: Chicago is a city that holds things close and doesn’t need to show off about its riches. And there are riches everywhere —great music all over the place, the best pizza, an embarrassment of architectures, and, of course, poetry on every corner. Nelson Algren said every great writer must spend time in Chicago.The final version of 2023 is from a distinguished Chicagoan, the poet and journalist Frank Marshall Davis. When I read his work for the first time, Iwas struck by the truth of the poems, his clear-eyed critique(批评). He was a truth teller when no one wanted to listen. This issue also includes poems of another Chicago great, Li-Young Lee. His poems taught me how to think about romance as an engine for a poem. Multiple generations of poets have been using the man’s gestures in their love poems, often without realizing it, because even their teachers were borrowing from Li-Young Lee too.So maybe that is why this issue has me in my holiday feels. Poems can be for the poet and the community concurrently, an offering of the self that indicates the care of the giver.4．What is the occupation of the authorA．A magazine editor. B．A news reporter.C．A blog writer. D．A Chicagoan poet.5．What does the author think of the year 2023A．Everything was new in this year. B．It was a year of poetry revolutionary.C．New poets led the way in this year. D．It was a year of discovery and learning.6．What impresses the author most about ChicagoA．The great art everywhere. B．Its multicultural atmosphere. C．The economic development. D．Its hidden music and poems. 7．Why does the author mention poets Frank Marshall Davis andLi-Young LeeA．To set examples for young poets.B．To show the great impact of poems.C．To promote their unique writing technique.D．To emphasize the importance of poetry reading.A wild African bird that will lead people to trees with honeycomb (蜂巢) seems to somehow learn the distinct whistles and calls of the human foragers (觅食者) who live near them.This bird species has far more information about what the bees are doing than humans ever could. In Tanzania, Hadza foragers can use a special whistle to attract this bird, which will then fly down and start leading them to honey. With its noisy chattering sound, the bird is very conspicuous. Once the bird arrives at a tree with honey inside, it will rest near the beehive silently, seemingly not to disturb the bees. “That’s the signal to the Hadza to really start searching,” says Brian Wood, an anthropologist at University of California, Los Angeles. Pretty soon, the foragers will locate the hive and cut open the tree trunk.It is found that the birds are more likely to show up when the familiar signal used by the locals is being broadcast. According to the research, the birds appear 82% of the time when Hadza whistles are being played. But they appear only 24% of the time when the researchers play the whistles traditionally used in a different country.This makes it clear that the birds have learned what their human neighbors do when they want to partner up and go honey-hunting. “This is a very strong result which supports the idea that there’s a learning process involved,” says Wood.But how do the birds learn It’s still unclear. What is clear is that this human-animal communication seems to benefit both parties, and it may go back many thousands of years. When the honeycomb is out, the birds get some of the beeswax, which they love to eat. And the human foragers get the honey—which is an enormously important food for the Hadza. Wood has calculated that the Hadza get about 10% of the calories in their annual diet with the help of the birds.8．What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in Para.2mean A．Eye-catching. B．Care-free. C．Naughty. D．Attractive.9．What can we know about the birdsA．They are raised by humans. B．They help cut open the tree trunk. C．They feed on honey as their annual diet. D．They can distinguish different whistles.10．Which of the following can best describe the honey gatheringA．A complex dilemma. B．An unfair trade.C．A double-edged sword. D．A win-win cooperation.11．Which can be a suitable title for the textA．The familiar signal in the forest.B．A talented expert in hunting the bees.C．A wonderful guide to collecting honey.D．The human-animal communication in Tanzania.The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational technology has brought convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements, it is crucial to recognize the significant challenges it poses to the autonomy and professional judgment of instructors. One of the primary concerns associated with AI-driven tools in education is the depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged digital content and standardized solutions, leaving little room for instructors to tailor their teaching methods.Each student possesses unique characteristics, including distinct learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and expertise, are best positioned to customize their approaches to meet these individual needs. They know how to adapt to their students’ varying learning styles. However, AI-driven platforms restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to engage and inspire students to reach their maximum potential.The implications of this depersonalization are far-reaching. By diminishing(降低) the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of preventing the growth ofcritical thinking and problem-solving skills among students.Education should not merely focus on knowledge acquisition (习得), but should also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge in real-world contexts. It should help one’s mind grow, not simply possess information. Through dynamic classroom discussions, cooperative projects, and hands-on activities, instructors play a vital role in cultivating these essential skills. AI-driven platforms, with their standardized solutions and automated features, are ill-equipped to provide the same level of engagement and intellectual stimulation as human instructors. While AI-driven platforms undeniably have their advantages, we must not lose sight of the importance of preserving instructors’ autonomy and the educational experience they provide. 12．Why do AI-driven tools fail to help instructors adjust their teaching methodsA．Their solutions will be challenged. B．They don’t have professional judgement.C．Their digital content is set previously. D．They think little of the students’ autonomy.13．What advantage do instructors have over AI-driven toolsA．They are more professional. B．They can satisfy individual needs. C．They have higher efficiency. D．They adopt one-size-fits-all approach. 14．In which aspect does depersonalization in education influence onstudentsA．Their response in classroom discussions.B．Their ability in solving real life problems.C．Their willingness to cooperate with others.D．Their adaptability to various learning styles.15．What should education focus on apart from knowledge acquisition A．Doing cooperative projects. B．Organizing hands-on activities. C．Developing thinking ability. D．Evaluating students’ development. The Decluttering Philosophy That Keeps Your Home OrganizedWhen you sit at your desk, you may constantly be confronted by chaos.16 Here an expert shares about some useful strategies to keep our messes at bay and her decluttering philosophy — getting rid of unnecessary possessions and distractions.17 “What becomes clutter and where your clutter collects can say a lot about what’s going on with you.” Thus the first thing you should keep in mind is to understand your clutter. When you understand the reasons behind your clutter, it’s a lot easier to know what to keep and what to get rid of.When it comes to organizing, don’t bite off more than you can chew. If you start off with too big a goal, you might get discouraged if the job takes too long. 18 Instead, start with something less challenging. You can also work within short time restrictions. All in all, setting realistic goalsand breaking tasks up into manageable portions can really help.Once you’ve chosen an area to declutter, make a list of everything you have in that space. Then comes the hardest part: figuring out what to get rid of. At this stage, please look at your items with neutral eyes. 19 Admittedly, it’s easy to be organized the day after decluttering, when tidiness is still top of mind. But what happens when you come home from a trip and are too tired to unpack your luggage Or when you get the flu and are too sick to clean up 20 In other words, make a system that works for you even when you’ve got to work or when you’ve got a cold. A．Everyone’s clutter tells a personal story.B．So don’t restore your entire garage in one afternoon.C．The key is to create practices that can be easily maintained.D．It can help you let go of things you don’t need but feel attached. E．Comparatively speaking, the job taking shorter time will be easier to finish.F．At this time you may wonder how to clean up your space and keep it that way.G．If you are worried about these situations, you can delay your decluttering schedule.二、完形填空Amazonian natives are facing home destruction.

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Even Very Young Children Can Be Depressed If you doubted it, I would introduce you to Susan, who came to my office and talked constantly about her “bad feeling.” Susan 21 (lose) interest in her favorite activities, stopped playing with her friends, and told her parents that she wanted to be dead. She’d spent more time in the school nurse’s office than in her classroom.Susan was six years old and 22 (suffer) from depression. Proper treatment helped Susan recover. Without it, she might still be an unhappy child, alone and in pain.The risk for depression does tend to increase as we grow older. Depression in young children is rare but real. Rene Spitz, a 23 (note) psychological researcher, found that infants who were in an institutional orphanage after World War II refused to eat and eventually died 24 they weren’t held by their caretakers. Children have an innate need 25 (hold) and comforted. If those needs aren’t met, then even very young children can fail to thrive and may become sick and die.Approximately 1% of preschoolers experience depression; they often have great difficulty expressing their feelings, because not all of their language skills 26 (develop) sufficiently. Instead of expressing their feelings in language, the depressed preschool children are likely to show emotions by exhibiting significantly aggressive, fearful, or crying behavior. 27 most preschool children may get angry if they’re hungry, sleepy, afraid 28 their parents go away, or fail to get Daddy to buy them the latest toys, these behaviors are often carried to extremes of intensity and frequency in depressed children.Although a diagnosis of clinical depression is rare in preschool children, there are times when it is appropriate. In most cases, the child who 29 (experience) significant frustrations resulting from the death or absence of a parent, has witnessed or been victims of violence, or has had a significant health problem 30 has interrupted normal emotional or physical development.I find preschool children to be more resilient (适应力强的) than older children in dealing with these events, as long as they have a supportive parent and receive timely treatment.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.E. paidF. respondA. objectedB. choicesC. inequalityD.combinationG. personality H. fade I. reduce J. inherited K.environmentalWhat makes us happy?You probably know the type of personality in some people: they seem to be hopeful in almost everything. Are they simply born happy? Is it the product of their environment? Or does it come from their life decisions?If you are familiar with genetics research, you will have guessed that it is a 31 of all three.A 2018 study of 1516 Norwegian twins suggests that around 30% of the differences in people’s life satisfaction is 32 . Much of this seems to be related to personality traits.To put this in context, the heritability of IQ is thought to be around 80%, so 33 factors clearly play a role in our happiness. These include our physical health, the size and strength of our social network, job opportunities and income. It seems that the absolute value of our salary matters less than whether we feel richer than those around us, which may explain why the level of 34 predicts happiness better than GDP.Interestingly, many important life 35 have only a little influence on our happiness. Consider marriage. A 2019 study found that, on average, life satisfaction does rise after the wedding, but the feeling of happiness tends to 36 over middle age.Parenthood is even more complex. For decades, social scientists have found that people with children at home are significantly less happy than those without. More recent research, however, suggests that there are important regional differences.Analyses show that these differences can be almost completely explained by variations in 37 parentalleave, flexible working hours, affordable childcare and holiday leave, which together 38 the potential for work-family conflict. The effects of these policies may play out across generations. In addition to the legacy of their genes, parents’ own emotional well-being will influence the family vigour, which will, in turn, shape the39 of their children.Our life satisfaction, then, is shaped by our genes, health, economic prospects, relationships and the culture around us. While many of these things may be beyond your control, there is now goodevidence that certain psychological strategies will help you to 40 to your circumstances in the happiest way possible.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Amazon is warming three times faster than the global average It is perhaps the most ironic symbol of the life on our planet. The Amazon is the world’s largest and most bio-diverse tropical rainforest and a huge trap for carbon dioxide. The harms of 41 in this vital resource are old news. But now, the time on the clock is running out. It seems that the world’s biggest rainforest is about to turn into the world’s biggest environmental 42 . “We are about to collapse,” says Luciana Gati at Brazil’s National Institute for ce Research. “We are in a(n) 43 , we need action now.”Gati has spent years 44 the Amazon from the air. She believes we are as little as five years from a point of no return, where rainforest begins to turn into dry land. It is also the point at which billions of tons of carbon would be 45 into the atmosphere. “It’s a nightmare,” she says.That nightmare situation is the well-known Amazon 46 point, where the ecosystem canno longer cope with the damage of the forest cutting. Like a domino game, one brick falling will 47 the whole tower to collapse in a heap.Warnings that this is approaching have now taken on extreme urgency. The rate of deforestation has increased sharply and is fast approaching the theoretical 48 . In September, a group of more than 200 experts, including Gatti, released an assessment of the situation. The conclusion: we are on the 49 of disaster.Scientists first began to seriously worry about a potential Amazon tipping point in about 2000, when some studies warned that a combination of climate change and deforestation could cause the rainforest to 50 .A few years later, a team of Brazilian scientists put numbers on it. They 51 that in central, southern and eastern parts of the Amazon, a loss of 40% of the forest cover from pre-industrial levels,or 30C warming would reduce rainfall so much that the rest of the forest would die of 52 and turn into a dry land in less than a decade.The scientists have since 53 that prediction, partly due to the global warming that has happened since 2000. The Amazon is already 1.20C warmer than it was in pre-industrial times and is warming three times faster than the global 54 . At that rate of warming, between 20 and 25% deforestation would be enough to dry up the land and destroy the Amazon completely.“Either way, we would be wise not to exceed 20 %, says a scientist, “for the commonsense reason that there is no point in 55 the precise point of limit by tipping it.”41. A. fertilization B. elimination C. deforestation D. frustration42. A. program B. disaster C. protection D. regulation43. A. evolution B. spotlight C. condition D. emergency44. A. measuring B. observing C. protecting D. criticizing45. A. released B. melted C. turned D. supplied46. A. tipping B. disappointing C. awarding D. tapping47. A. build B. turn C. cause D. make48. A. problem B. prediction C. aspect D. limit49. A. base B. edge C. surface D. track50. A. dry out B. run down C. pay off D. rise up51. A. boasted B. insisted C. estimated D. instructed52. A. thirst B. starvation C. cold D. disease53. A. digested B. revised C. encouraged D. previewed54. A. strategy B. climate C. average D. system55. A. diagnosing B. instructing C. inquiring D. discoveringSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)As Dr. Pedro Jose grows older, he keeps setting his goals higher. He believes people in every walk of life need to constantly stretch for new challenges. His daily juggling act is extremely demanding. He’s a doctor, professor, and volunteer medical director of Saint John Clinic for undocumented immigrants. He still pushes on continuing to publicize his agenda in the media and serving on numerous boards and foundations.In 2002, Jose was named chairman of the board of the Hinic Heritage Awards Foundation. The awards recognize Hinics who make important contributions to life in America.Jose believes the stories of Hinic accomplishments can inspire all Americans. He adds, most important, the scholarships are offered by the foundation. Only two-thirds of Hinics graduate from high school. To help others, you must be able to help yourself, and that begins with education.Jose has received no shortage of honors of his own, including the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship and the Presidential Service Award. In 1994, Time magazine named him one of the nation’s 50 top leaders under the age of 40. And Hinic magazine named him Hinic of the Year in 2002. Jose’s autobiography, Waking Up in America, is now being made into a TV movie, starring Andy Garcia.Jose’s fervent hope is that the movie will help change people’s attitudes about the homeless. He hopes it will show that beyond the hard label are human beings---people who did not choose to be poor. Homeless people have needs and feelings that are no different from anyone else’s. They need help, not judgment.Most of all, though, Jose hopes that people will begin to realize the power they have to change things. There should never be another man in Bed 9, who died without anyone even knowing his name. There should never be another Giles Woodson, the man who was burned to death on the streets of Miami.“As a nation, what makes us great is our individuality. But what makes us truly powerful is when we work together,” says Jose. “If people put their minds to it, this kind of suffering can be solved.”56. How did Jose help the homeless?A. Volunteered to provide medical service for them.B. Provided good education for them.C. Set higher goals to face the coming challenges.D. Conducted medical research on them.57. Why was Jose named the head of the Hinic Heritage Awards Foundation?A. His success in the medical field inspired Americans.B. He contributed a lot to helping people in need.C. He developed good relationships with Hinics.D. He found few Hinics graduated from high school.58. Why was his autobiography made into a TV movie?A. His foundation provided scholarships for Hinics.B. He changed his attitude towards the homeless.C. He was a role model for Hinics and other Americans.D. He had a significant influence on the homeless.59. What do Jose’s words in the last paragraph imply?A. Be united and we will make the world a better place to live.B. Governments are responsible for the problem of the homeless.C. Do bear in mind that the homeless have suffered quite a lot.D. With rights and power, the homeless can solve their problems.(B)Take Off with Historic Hiring GrowthA message from Kate GeboWelcome aboard!We are so happy to have you fly with us.

The new paths for talentpipelines.(C)When I volunteered as a social worker at a domestic violence shelter in a developing country, I imagined the position for which my university experience had prepared me. I imagined conducting intake interviews and walking around from organization to organization seeking support that the women would need to rebuild their lives. When I arrived, I felt as if I already had months of experience, experience gained in the hypothetical situations I had invented and subsequently resolved single-handedly. I felt thoroughly prepared to tackle the situation I assumed was waiting for me.I arrived full of zeal. Within moments, my reality made a sharp break from which I had expected. The coordinator explained that the shelter’s need for financial self-sufficiency had become obvious. To address this, the center was planning to open a bakery. I immediately enthused about the project, making many references to the small enterprise case studies I had researched at the university. In response to my impassioned reply, the coordinator declared me in charge of the bakery. At that moment, I was as prepared to bake bread as I was to run for political office. The bigger problem, however, was that I was completely unfamiliar with the for-profit business models necessary to run the bakery. I was out of my depth in a foreign river with only my coordinator’s confidence to keep me afloat.They say that necessity is the mother of invention. I began finding recipes and using the expertise of friends. With their help making bread, printing leaflets and making contacts, the bakery was soon running successfully. After a short time it became a significant source of income for the house.In addition to funds, baking bread provided a natural environment to work with and get to know the women of the shelter. Kneading dough(揉面团) side by side, I shared in the friendly atmosphere of the kitchen, treated to stories about their children and the towns and jobs they had to leave behind to ensure their safety. Baking helped me develop strong relationships with the women and advanced my understanding of their situations. It also improved the women’s self-esteem. Their ability to master a new skill gave them confidence in themselves, and the fact that the bakery contributed tothe ueep of the house gave the women a sense of pride and the confidence that they had the capability to support themselves.Baking gave me the opportunity to work in a capacity I had not at all expected, but one that proved very successful. Learning to bake gave me as much newfound self-confidence as it gave the women, and I found that sometimes quality social work can be as simple as kneading dough.63. The primary purpose of the passage is to show how the author ________________.A. was shocked by the realityB. broadened the scope of her workC. developed her abilities to run a for-profit enterpriseD. handled a tough situation in a developing country64. The statement that the author arrived “full of zeal” indicates that she was ____________.A. anxious and insecureB. confident but uninformedC. eager and interestedD. enthusiastic but incompetent65. Why was the author initially enthusiastic about the idea of the bakery?A. She considered it from a theoretical point of view.B. She hoped to get a leadership position in the bakery.C. She wanted to show her baking skills to her new coordinator.D. She believed it is a good way to raise women’s self-esteem.... What did the last sentence (“Learning ... dough”) indicate?A. The author underestimated her abilities to learn new skills.B. The author derived benefit from her work by helping others.C. The author lacked self-confidence as much as the women working with her.D. The author found performing social work surprisingly easy with no education.Section CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. It will not be long before he’s back in prison again.B. We’re all relieved that the criminal is being punished for his misdeeds.C. Community service is likely to turn prisoners into better persons.D. Offenders are tried and sentenced according to the legal system.E. The threat of another spell in jail will stop him from breaking the law again.F. Put the money into supporting deprived areas which are the grounds for crime.Hello, everyone!Are you worried about crime? I am. We read it every day in the newpers. A terrible crime has been committed, and the police have arrested someone. He has appeared in court and claimed hisinnocence but has been found guilty of his crime and he has been sentenced to ten years in prison.67 Innocent citizens like you and me can sleep more safely at night.But what happens next? We all hope the prisoner will benefit from society’s retribution. A spell(一阵子) in prison will reform him and make him a better person. We all hope he’ll reform and become like us. We all hope that when he is eventually released, he will be a good character.68 But, let’s face it. The reality is usually very different. The prisoner may be released onparole (假释)before the end of his sentence. He will try to re-enter society. But then he often becomes a victim himself, unable to find work and is rejected by society. 69 .So what can we do to make sure the offender doesn’t commit another crime? Of course, thereare alternatives to prison, such as community service or he can pay a large fine. Alternatively, wecould establish a more severe system of punishment.The answer is far simpler. We need to be tough not on the criminal, but on the cause of thecrime. We should spend less of the taxpayer’s money in funding the judges and all the other peoplewho are working for the legal system. 70 We in the ConLab Party believe that everybody needs a good chance in life, and this is a good step forward.Vote for us now!IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71. The problem of robocalls has become so bad that we refuse to pick up calls from numberswe don’t know. Nearly half of the calls we receive are scams(欺诈). We’ve realized the severity ofthe problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little. By the time these “solutions” becomewidely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not justgoing to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.That’s because there are many powerful voice manipulation(处理) technologies to be available.A company showed a new voice technology able to produce a convincing human–sounding voiceable to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. Thereason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data disclosure of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to cheat the targeted people.This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number andtalk to you with a voice sounding exactly like your bank teller’s, misleading you to “confirm” your address and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot ofbusiness is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like WeChat and Alipay, which can be tied to your identity.V.

Note that there is one word more than you need.A.unanticipatedB.momentsC.evolvedD.basicallyE.exploredF.clearlyG.navigateH.ritualsI.integral J.access K.inspiringBoat of PowerDragon boat racing began in China more than2,000years ago as part of a cultural community event to memorize the ancient poet,Qu Yuan.The traditional holiday was a time to perform31for good fortune and well-being,and to drive off evil spirits.Over time,dragon boat racing32into a global sport.The Toronto-based Dragons Abreast team stands out at this sport for a few reasons.For one, the79-member team includes people ranging in age from30to93.Prior to joining Dragons Abreast, some members hadn't been part of a sports team since childhood and wouldn't have described themselves as particularly athletic ones.And what has brought these women together is something 33---living with breast cancer.The breast cancer survivors on this team are in the same boat in every way.For many,being part of a community that knows34how life changes after breast cancer is as beneficial as the physical gains. The team offers a supportive space to35all the complexities of survivorship.“I was so surprised at how36the racing was for me,”says Liz Johnston Hill,the race coordinator for Dragons Abreast.“It's almost overwhelming how people encourage,no matter what.”Being out on the water and connecting to the environment is an important aspect of dragon boating for many of the team members.They talk about how it provides37of peace and encourages mindfulness,something we could all use more of in our lives.Outside of dragon boat,the members are a(n)38part of each other's life.“We've all been through39the same thing in our various ways,”says the race coordinator Liz Johnston Hill.While the number of breast cancer survivor teamsgrows,barriers to the sport remain such as cost,time,40to water and practice facilities and the lack of cultural and language diversity.But there are ongoing efforts to introduce more people living with breast cancer to dragon boat.II.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Like anything built by evolution,the human body has many downsides,teeth without exception. Adult humans only get one set of teeth,which must last about60years.However,a(n)41of poverty,sugar-rich diets and poor hygiene means2.5bn people globally suffer from tooth decay,in which acid produced by mouth-living bacteria eats away the hard enamel(牙釉质)that42the outside of a tooth,leading to further infection and damage.Once decay has set in,all a dentist can do is to fill the gap with artificial filling.But in a paper published in Cell,Hannele Ruohola-Baker,a stem-cell biologist at the University of Washington,and her colleagues offer a possible43.Stem cells have the44to turn themselves into any other type of cell in the body.It may soon be possible,the researchers claim,to use those45cells to regrow a tooth's enamel naturally.The first step was to work out how enamel is produced.As enamel-making cells,known as ameloblasts,disappear soon after a person's adult teeth have finished growing,the researchers46 samples of tissue from human foetuses(胚胎),which contain plenty of functioning ameloblasts. 47,they checked to see which genes were especially active in the enamel-producing cells.It turned out that genes designed to bind to calcium were particularly busy.48that information,Dr Ruohola-Baker and her colleagues next checked to see whether the stem cells could be persuaded to49ameloblasts.The team devised various drugs designed to activate the genes expressed in functioning ameloblasts.That worked,with the engineered ameloblasts producing the same proteins as the natural sort.For now,the work is more concept than a medical treatment.The next step is to boost enamel production further,with a view to50beginning clinical trials.The hope is that,one day,medical versions of the team's findings could be used as biological implants,to51a patient's decayed teeth.Stem-cell-based therapies are not the only ones heading to clinical trials.Another treatment,known as biomimetic repair,involves rebuilding the tooth crown using synthetic(人工合成的)proteins,which are similar,but not quite52,to human enamel.The proteins could be included in toothpaste and even cough drops.But synthetic formulations can be less53than human enamel.It will take time for either technology to become reality.One question is how durable the enamel made by stem-cell-derived ameloblasts is.Another is how best to deliver the stem cells to a patient’s mouth.But these findings are54.As any dentist will tell you,prevention is better than cure. 55,a better cure would be always welcome.There is no doubt that this research offers a new prospect for future dental care.bination B.absence C.application D.coincidence42.A.contains B.coats C.floats D.fills43.A.procedure B.alternative C.variation D.recipe44.A.opportunity B.obligation C.capacity D.intention45.A.changeable B.noticeable plicated D.practical46.A.appealed to B.objected to C.applied to D.turned to47.A.Then B.Therefore C.Otherwise D.Still48.A.Pleased by B.Puzzled by C.Armed with D.Covered with49.A.transform into B.break down C.speed up D.respond to50.A.exclusively B.permanently C.inevitably D.eventually51.A.resemble B.reform C.regenerate D.recycle52.A.identical B.subject C.relevant D.unique53.A.accessible B.diverse C.durable D.influential54.A.fulfilling B.stimulating C.initiating D.promising55.A.Likewise B.Furthermore C.Nevertheless D.InsteadSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When Steven Spielberg was a kid growing up in the1950s in Arizona,watching westerns on his family's20-inch black-and-white TV,he would climb right up to the screen,as if to surround himself with the image.He also wished he could see these moving pictures in color.So he searched through his family's collection of slides quickly,having learned that by holding one film or another up to the television screen he could turn grayed-out western skies blue,or the ground to a realistic-looking green. Sometimes his mom walked in,and she saw him holding these slides up to both of his eyes,right next to the TV set.Often,she would say,“You're going to burn your eyes out!”Spielberg's mom,like all the other50s moms who said the same thing,was wrong about that.But we all know what she must have been thinking:Who is this child?If you've seen even just one Steven Spielberg movie in the past50years or so---Jaws Schindler's Lisl, E.T---you have some sense of who this child grew up to be.And when you see his new film,The Fabelmans,a work of astonishing vividness that's drawn from his own family's story,you'll know even more.Movies have been around for roughly130years;Spielberg's career has covered more than a third of that.Yet The Fabelmans hardly feels like a late-career movie.It's a jetway for a new beginning.Not every75-year-old filmmaker makes a movie like this.Of the ambitious young guys who remade Hollywood in the early1970s,Spielberg is one of the few still making vital pictures at a consistent clip. Yet his career is extraordinary in any context.He's made some box-office disappointments,but naming a badly made Spielberg film is hard,probably because there isn't one.No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship,to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.56.How did Spielberg's mom feel when she saw her son's behavior in front of the TV set?A.Proud but upset.B.Surprised but supportive.C.Annoyed and desperate.D.Worried and confused.57.Which of the following is NOT a reason why Spielberg's career is regarded as extraordinary?A.He showed great interest in filming at a very young ageB.His career covers more than a third of the movie history.C.He is committed to filming ordinary things from new perspectives.D.His films are all well-made despite some box-office disappointments58.What can be inferred about Spielberg's new film The Fabelmans?A.It's the most outstanding film he has ever made in his career.B.It has been integrated with part of his growing experience.C.It represents a totally brand new type of film theme.D.It established Spielberg as the most influential filmmaker.59.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Curiosity makes success.B.Daring to be different.C.A giant in filmmaking.D.A ground-making new film.(B)“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.The man who never reads lives only one.”George R.R.Martin,Author of“A Game of Thrones”What do these4guys share that you don’t?BILL GATES MARK ZUCKERBERG JEFF BEZOS WARREN BUFFETT No,it's not their shoe size.They read.At least two books a month,They're also among the top10richest people in the world.

Claims that Earth’s magnetic field is responsible for climate change are widespread online,but scientists say the theory has no basis.“At this time there aren't any credible mechanisms that could make it a possibility,”says Gavin Schmidt,a climatologist in New York."It's not that we're ruling out magnetic effects on climate without thinking about it,we collectively have thought about it,and it's been found devoid.There are three north poles on Earth:true north,geomagnetic north,and magnetic north.True north is a fixed position on the globe that points directly towards the geographic North Pole.But geomagnetic north,currently located over Canada's Ellesmere Island,is not a fixed point---it represents the northern axis(轴)of Earth's magnetosphere and shifts from time to time.Magnetic north corresponds to magnetic field lines and is what your compass locates.During a pole reversal,Earth's magnetic north and south poles exchange locations.This happens on average every300,000years or so,but the last reversal occurred around780.000years ago.Some scientists have assumed that reversals and the corresponding decrease in strength of the magnetic field could cause a big problem that increased solar radiation was able to enter Earth’s atmosphere,altering ozone levels and driving global climate shifts and extinctions.Kirk Johnson,a director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History,has spent much of his career studying the extinction of dinosaurs.While analyzing fossil records and timelines surrounding his research,Johnson zeroed in on the magnetic reversal that occurred around66.3million years ago.Deep ocean samples revealed significant climate change around66.3million years ago.But this also coincides with a large volcanic eruption in India called the Deccan volcanism,which produced some of the longest lava(熔岩)flows on Earth.“We've always owed that transition to the carbon dioxide released by the Deccan volcanism and the increase of greenhouse gases,”says Johnson.“There are two things happening:The magnetic field is changing,the Deccan volcanism is happening,and there's climate warming.So that would be an example of coincidental climate change.”63.The underlined word“devoid”in paragraph2probably means.A.fruitlessB.obviousC.reasonableD.misleading64.Which north pole on earth is involved in the pole reversal?A.True north.B.Geomagnetic north.C.Magnetic north.D.Geographic north65.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The geomagnetic events are to blame for the climate change.B.The decrease in strength of the magnetic field resulted in extinction.C.The magnetic field is changing all the time with the climate warming.D.Internal forces which produce Earth's magnetic field can alter over time66.Which of the following statements does Kirk Johnson most probably agree with?A.A magnetic reversal doesn't necessarily cause climate change.B.A magnetic reversal is accompanied with significant climate changeC.The extinction of the dinosaurs is due to the magnetic reversal.D.Climate change is not relevant to the carbon dioxide emission.Section CDirections:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.While these villages possess undeniable fascination,many remain underdeveloped.B.This effort includes the knowledge exchange between the students and local villagersC.Both were selected for revitalization efforts led by the Village Revitalization Team.D.In Sukarara,a local tradition requires girls master weaving skills before marriageE.They decide to be a bridge between tradition and progress,united for their growthF.It's about preserving the cultural heritage and ensuring traditions being passed downStudents’Journey to Empower Rural HeritageFrom Aug.18to22a team of15Tsinghua University students,representing diverse backgrounds from China,South Korea,Malaysia,and Indonesia,set foot on an overseas research exploration focusing on rural revitalization(振兴)in Indonesian villages,particularly within Nusa Tenggara Barat(NTB).With the diverse cultural heritage,Indonesia is home to over83,000villages,each radiating its own charm and character.67The research mission took the students to Sukarara and Sade villages,two of NTB's tourist destinations.68Sukarara and Sade are a world apart from the busy cities to which most of us are accustomed.The villages are a living test to Indonesia's rich culture and its devotion to preserving traditions.The Revitalizing these villages goes beyond mere economic development.69The weaving skills and architectural techniques of Sukarara and Sade villages are not only beautiful,but they are also an inseparable part to the identity of these communities.It's essential that they strike a balance between progress and preservation.As the journey came to an end,the students carry with them not only the memories of their experiences there,but also to make a positive impact on these remarkable places. 70They are optimistic that Indonesian villages can experience meaningful development,ultimately leading to increased opportunities for employment and an improved quality of life.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.How to Be a Better BossWorkplaces have changed dramatically over the past few years.Teams have become more isolated owing to remote work.Technology has brought great benefits but also constant interruptions,from endless Zoom calls to message flows on Slack.With each shift,the job of the manager has become harder.Many report feeling burnt-out,overloaded and confused.Yet in real life everyone suffers when management is bad and benefits when it is good Research based on a long-running survey of management techniques has found that well-managed firms tend to be more productive,export more and spend more on research and development.So the prize for better management is big.But how to obtain it?Read enough management books and you might conclude that managers need to change their personality thoroughly,becoming either Machiavelli's prince or a Marvel superhero.However,study successful managers,and more practical lessons can be drawn.One is to be clear about a firm's processes.Managers should make clear the purpose of a team,what a meeting should achieve and who will take a decision.Meeting agendas at GSK,a British drugs firm,clearly say whether an item is for awareness,to gather participants'input or intended to make a decision.Such clarity means that everyone knows what they are doing,and why.Management isn't all about piling up tasks,meetings or processes.A second lesson is that managers can add value by deleting.Sparing workers from pointless meetings,emails and projects frees them to concentrate on the work that fattens the bottom line.At the start of the year,Shopify,an e-commerce firm,deleted12,000repeated meetings from its employees’calendars.The useful ones were eventually added back.But the firm says that meetings are down by14%since the mass deletion while productivity has gone up by a similar amount.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.穿着睡衣去超市不太合适，不是吗?(It)73.这副山水画的灵感来源于王维的诗集。
