An elderly gentleman was standing by the side of a path, looking confused and lost. Just at that moment, a kind- hearted young girl approached him. She asked him gently what was wrong and listened patiently as he struggled to explain.Without hesitation, the girl took his hand and slowly guided him along the path, chatting with him to ease his anxiety. They walked together until they reached the place the old man was supposed to be. The old man smiled with thankfulness and relief.After helping the old man, the girl didn’t just leave. She spent some more time with him, sharing some interesting stories and making him laugh. The old man’s eyes rkled with joy, and it was clear that this interaction had brightened his day. The girl’s kindness seemed to have an effect, as other people in the park also noticed and were inspired by her actions.I continued to observe as the girl then decided to stay with the old man for a while longer. They sat on a bench together, and the girl began to tell him about her own life, her dreams, and her adventures. The old man listened attentively, nodding and smiling from time to time. It was abeautiful sight to behold, this unlikely pair sharing such a genuine and heartwarming connection.This encounter made me reflect on the importance of kindness in our society. In a world that can often seem cold and hurried, acts like the girl’s are like the tower of light, showing us the way to a more empathetic(同情的)and caring existence. It also made me think about how we all have the potential to make a difference in someone else’s life, no matter how small the act may be.Now, whenever I recall this scene, it warms my heart and reminds me to be more willing to offer a helping hand, to spread kindness wherever I go, and to believe in the goodness that lies within each of us.24.What did the girl do for the old man?A.She gave him a warm and comforting hug to make him feel better.B.She took his hand and guided him along the path to help him find the place he was supposed to be.C.She asked to take a photo with him to capture the moment.D.She went to a nearby store and bought him a refreshing drink.25.How did the old man feel in the end?A.He felt extremely grateful and had a big smile on his face because he was happy.B.He was still hungry and sad as no one really cared about his needs.C.He felt fearful and angry because the girl was too pushy.D.He felt cold and tired as the walk was too long.26.What can we infer about the author’s attitude?A.Doubtful.B.Disapproving.C.NegativeD.Admiring.27.Where is this passage most likely from?A.A detailed and informative travel guide filled with places to visit.B.A complex and educational science textbook with various theories.C.A personal blog where the author shares personal experiences and thoughts.D.A trendy and fashionable magazine featuring the latest styles and trends.CChina’s tea culture is an ancient and profound(意义深远的)cultural heritage that has been passed down and developed for thousands of years. It weaves an complicated and fascinating patternwithin Chinese society.Tea growing in China is an art form in itself. The tea- growing areas, with their special climates and lands, produce teas of exceptional quality. From the misty mountain s of Fujian to the green landscapes of Yunnan, different areas offer a rich variety of tea types.The process of making tea is careful and detailed. It involves exact measurements of water temperature, the right amount of tea leaves, and a certain steeping time to get the fullest flavor and smell. This care for details shows the Chinese people’s search for excellence in all parts of life.Tea is not merely a beverage; it is a thing that helps social relations. It brings people together, whether in family get- togethers, friendly meetings, or business talks. The act of sharing a cup of tea is a sign of kindness and connection. And the many tea- houses all over the country offer places for people to relax, talk, and enjoy the peace that tea gives. Moreover, tea ceremonies are an important part of Chinese culture. These ceremonies are complex and formal, showing the grace and elegance of Chinese traditions. They involve exact movements and a deep respect for the tea and the process.In addition to its social and cultural importance, tea in China is also known for its possible health benefits. It is thought to have anti- oxidant(抗氧化的)features and is linked to various good effects on physical health.As China keeps moving forward and modernizing, its tea culture is still strongly fixed, a proof of its historical and cultural importance. It keeps attracting both the Chinese people and those from around the world, inviting them to explore and enjoy the beauty and depth of this great cultural phenomenon.28.What is the main reason for the rich variety of tea types in China?A.Different processing methods.B.Different people’s preferences.

C.Because it is easy to maintain.D.Because the government promotes it. DChina successfully launched the Chang’e-6 cecraft on Friday. A Long March-5rocket lifted it off from the Wenchang ce Launch Site in Hainan. This was a huge success and a remarkable achievement for China’s ce exploration program. The launch not only shows China’s advanced technological abilities but also makes scientists and ce lovers around the world excited.Collecting samples from the far side of the moon is a new thing for humanity. We have very little knowledge about this mysterious side. If the Chang’e-6 mission is successful, it will give scientists important and direct facts to know more about the far side’s environment, geological features, and material make- up. This will be an important step forward in our exploration of the moon and the universe as a whole.The Chang’e-6 cecraft has an orbiter, a lander, an ascender(上升器), and a returner. When it reaches the moon, it will land carefully on the far side. Within 48 hours after landing, a robot arm will carefully collect rocks and soil from the lunar surface. Also, a drill will go into the ground to take samples from deeper layers. At the same time, a series of complex scientific tests and analyses will be done to get valuable data.The far side of the moon is very different from the side we can see. The Apollo basin in the South PoleAitken Basin is chosen as the landing and sampling place for the Chang’e-6 mission. This area is thought to have precious clues about the moon’s formation and development, giving possible ideas about the early history of our celestial(天体)neighbor.This mission has many technical difficulties and needs the latest technologies. It also gets help from international cooperation, showing the spirit of working together in the global search for ce exploration. The exploration of the far side of the moon may provide valuable scientific data and open up new possibilities for future ce activities, such as setting up long- term lunar bases and using lunar resources.The success of the Chang’e-6 mission has the possibility to make more international cooperation in ce exploration. It shows China’s strong wish to add to the growth of globalknowledge about the universe and encourages other countries to work together to find out the secrets of the universe.32.What is the main purpose of the Chang’e-6 mission?A.To build a base on the far side of the moon.B.To study how the moon moves around.C.To collect and bring back samples from the far side of the moon.D.To look for water on the moon.33.Which of the following is true about the far side of the moon?A.It’s different from the side we can see.B.It’s the same as the side we can see. C.We know a lot about it.D.It has no rocks or soil.34.What might the exploration of the far side of the moon lead to?A.No change in the future.B.New chances for ce activities. C.Fewer friends for China in ce.D.No new technologies.35.What could be a suitable title for this passage?A.“The Mystery of the Moon”B.“The Far Side of the Moon: Unknown Territory”C.“ce Exploration and Challenges”D.“China’s Chang’e-6 Mission: Unveiling the Secrets of the Moon’s Far Side”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。

AIn2016,I suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD)a form of depression(抑郁症) that is found to make people feel low in the UK between September and April.During that cold and wet period,I got comfort in books.Books have been used by many to reduce depression.I lose myself into them as thirstily as usually get my morning coffee.Each Christmas,I have a habit of returning to the old favorite books that make up for my emptiness,such as Jane Eyre.Sometimes,to escape from the cold,I run back to the heat that I am used so I will read a lot of books set in Africa.It became important for me to find a way to escape my sadness in the world of books.And isn’t that what art and literature is for?According to JJ Bola,the author of No Place to Call Home,“The world can get you so down that you think you’re the only person going through what you’re going through.But then you read and you realize that you are not alone that if someone else has gone through it and survived,then maybe you can,too.”It is this survival that the reader looks for, that is,the understanding that the winter is not so long after all.1.What was the possible cause for the author’s illness?A.His personality.B.His poor health.

She stared straight at me.“Young lady,I would like to see you after school.”For punishment she told me to write a thousand-word essay on education and it must be handed in by the following Wednesday.Well,that day came.I wasn't worried.It was a good paper. And I expected praise from her.The next day,however,she called me forward,looking at me over her glasses,and returned my paper."Go back and rewrite.Remember,each paragraph must have a topic sentence."Then came the second time,the grammar.The third time,the spelling.The fourth time,the punctuation.The fifth,it wasn't neat enough.I was sick.The sixth time,I rewrote the whole paper slowly,in ink,leaving generous space.Seeing it, she removed her glasses and smiled.She finally accepted the paper.After that,I put the whole thing out of my mind.试卷第3页,共8页Two or three months passed,one day Miss Jordan said to us,“Class,do you still remember an essay contest held citywide?They have announced the winners.Yes,Mary has won the first prize."I was amazed!It was the first time I had won a prize.Years later,I told a reporter the story and expressed my great thanks to Miss Jordan.Soon after that,I got a letter from Miss Jordan,and it said,"What I did wasn't that important.What mattered was the lesson you had learnt.When you wrote and rewrote that paper for me,you began to learn how to discipline yourself.”11.What made Miss Jordan unhappy with the author?A.She often lowered her head in class.B.She always talked too much in class. C.She often made her classmates upset.D.She often laughed at Miss Jordan's glasses. 12.Which is the right order of the author's correction?①Grammar.②Punctuation.③Topic sentence.④Spelling.⑤Neatness.A.③②①⑤④B.③①⑤②④C.③①④②⑤D.③⑤④②①13.Which of the following words best describe Miss Jordan?A.Active and open-minded.B.Honest but cold-blooded. C.Energetic and kind-hearted.D.Strict but broad-minded.14.What would be the best title of the text?A.A naughty girl B.A good lesson in lifeC.An essay contest D.A terrible memory in mind15.What can we learn from Miss Jordan's letter?A.No pains,no gains.B.Love me,love my dog.C.All roads lead to Rome.D.Two heads are better than one.DParents.teachers,and anyone who regularly deals with teenagers know how difficult the adolescent(青春期的)years can be.Adolescents have always been known to do wild-even dangerous-things.This was thought to be due to the foolishness of youth.Now a study on the development of the brain has led to a new theory of why teens act the way they do.Recently,scientists discovered that though our brains are almost at their full size by age6. they are far from fully developed.Only during adolescence do our brains truly“grow up.”During this time,they go through great changes,like a computer system being upgraded.This第4页共9页“upgrade“was once thought to be finished by a t age12.Now,scientists have concluded that our brains continue to change until age25.Such changes make us better at balancing our impulses(冲动)with the need to follow rules.However,a still-developing brain does this awkwardly.The result,scientists claim,is the unexpected behavior seen in teenagers.The studies confirm that teens are more likely to take risks and behave in extreme ways. Fortunately,the news isn’t all negative.As brain scientists point out,the teen brain inspires such behavior in order to help teenagers prepare for adult life.One way the brain does this is by changing the way teens measure risk and reward(回报). Researchers found that when teens think about rewards,their brains give off the chemicals that create pleasure.Researchers believe this makes the rewards outweigh the risks,and makes teens feel the excitement of new experiences.Unfortunately,this hunt for rewards can sometimes lead teens to make bad decisions. However,it also means that teens are more likely to try new things or to be independent.The findings suggest that in the long run,the impulses of the teen brains are what help teens leave their parents’care and live their own lives successfully.16.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To describe an experiment on the brains of teenagers.B.To explain how teenagers’brains affect their behavior.C.To introduce a new discovery on teenagers’intelligence.D.To suggest that teenagers think differently from their parents.17.What can we learn about our brains in paragraph2?A.They are at full size by age6B.They begin to upgrade at age12.C.They are fully developed at age18.D.They finish developing at age25.18.What does the author mean by”the news isn’t all negative“in paragraph3?A.The negative side of the research is not understood.B.The way the teen brain works has some advantages.C.The latest news of the research should be provided.D.The impulses of a teenage brain should be controlled.试卷第5页,共8页19.What happens to their brains when teenagers think about rewards?A.Changing into the adult patternB.Starting to weigh risk and rewardC.Creating connections with successD.Giving off chemicals that create pleasure.20.Which is the best heading for the last paragraph?A.An independent brain.B.A successful lifeC.The role of parents in life D.The rewards of findings第二部分语言知识运用(共两节,满分25分)第一节完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。

The tail of the plane was up in the air and the nose was in the fish pond.’Mr Campbell, (28) _________ flies all over the country to treat the patients of his private practice, said: “I was coming into the airport and both engines cut out.

She applied and was invited to join in. But, 31________ she was placed in the control group rather than the treatment one that would try out the new 32________a virtual reality (VR) program for acrophobia (the medical term for a fear of heights).The ones in the treatment group--44 in all---were given five or six 30-minute sessions (时间段)of the VR treatment over the 33________ of two weeks.The results, which are being published by The Lancet Psychiatry, were significant. About 70% of the VR group no longer had a fear of heights, while, 34________ , all of the people in the control group, who received no treatment, still did.Fay has now had the same therapy herself. “Once the trial was finished, they offered it to me and I am so pleased that I said yes,” she says. “Heights don’t 35 ________me now.”The VR simulator(模拟器)made people feel like being in a safe situation where they can learn to 36________ their fear. The user wears a VR headset and is asked to work their way up a 10-storey building and complete some tasks, such as looking down over a high rock and throwing balls off it.Lead researcher Prof Daniel Freeman said: “We wanted tasks that would be fun and 37________ and most importantly make the person look down to face their fear. It had to be something that would teach them to feel 38________ with heights.”The therapy is also delivered by virtual coaches who 39________ and guide the users along the way. Prof Freeman said some patients might prefer this to face-to-face therapy with a(n) 40 ________.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.Many people around the world have seen Danny Boyle’s movie Trainspotting based on Irvine Welsh’s novel of the same name and starring Ewan McGregor, but how many of us can really claim to 41________ what train-spotting is all about? Now this is not considered the coolest hobby in town and the word “train-spotter”, in Britain has become similar in meaning to "geek" or "nerd (蠢货或书呆子),but is this 42________ really deserved?First of all, let’s 43________ train-spotting. There are said to be some 100,000 train-spotters in the UK. What do they do? Well, exactly as the title suggests, they spot trains, that is, they stand in train stations, look at the serial numbers of the trains that leave and arrive and write them down. The 44________ is to have seen every train in the country.Being keen on railways and trains is not a 45________ hobby and dates back to 1804 when Richard Trevithick built the first steam locomotive, which pulled a load of ten tons of iron, 70 men and five wagons along a nine-mile stretch of track in two hours. As the number of trains grew and they got faster and faster, so did the interest in them grow. Is this any 46________ than people who love cars?So, what do you need to be a train-spotter? Well, it’s a wonderfully 47________ pastime—all you really need is a pen or pencil and a notebook to write down the train numbers. The modem train-spotter may also carry binoculars(望远镜)and a video camera, but for the purists these are 48________.It’s interesting to note that despite the stigma(污名)of train-spotting, there have been famous railway 49________ in history, such as the poet WH Auden, the comedian Michael Palin and, of course, Alfred Hitchcock, who was a fan of trains and featured them regularly in his films, especially The 39 Steps. There is evidence, too, that being a train-spotter is not necessarily a(n) 50________ British hobby.One glance at the US train sites should be enough to 51________ you that transatlantic train-spotters are alive and well. In America, they try to call rail fans ‘trainfans' and talk of ‘trainfanning’.. Don’t l et this 52________you—these people are train-spotters and there are a lot of them. Each month, two million pages are visited on the website .So call them ‘nerds' or ‘geeks’, but they are here to stay and this is 53_________ not a hobby that is violent or dangerous in any way, nor does it cause any kind of damage to the environment. What do you think is healthier—sitting in front of a TV screen and 54________ those who do something that doesn’t interest you? Or going out and finding and followin g your 55 ________whatever that happens to be? I know what I think.41. A. discover B. know C. wonder D. consider42. A. occupation B. reputation C. ignorance D. practice43. A. face B. find C. discuss D. define44. A. aim B. answer C. advice D. approach45. A. special B. modem C. life-long D. personal46. A. stranger B. more interesting C. more common D. freer47. A. relaxing B. weird C. inexpensive D. unpopular48. A. relieving B. priceless C. sufficient D. unnecessary49. A. enthusiasts B. engineers C. developers D. passengers50. A. originally B. peculiarly C. inevitably D. progressively51. A. warn B. promise C. convince D. disappoint52. A. hurt B. seize C. oppose D. fool53. A. formerly B. similarly C. astonishingly D. certainly54. A. criticizing B. envying C. training D. imitating55. A. suggestion B. step C. passion D. modelSection 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)The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying—first it was your phone, then your car,and now you can boss around your appliances. Children are likely to grow up thinking everything is sentient, or at least interactive: One app developer told The Washington Post that after interacting with Amazon’s Alexa, his kid started talking to coasters. But even without chatty gadgets, research suggests that under certain circumstances, people anthropomorphize everyday products.We personify things because we’re lonely. In one experiment, people who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to give free will and consciousness to various devices. In turn, feeling attached to objects can reduce loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they’d been excluded socially, they made up by lying about their number of friends on social networks—unless they were first given tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities. The phone apparently stood in for real friends.When we personify products, they become harder to cast off. After being asked to evaluate their car's personality, people were less likely to say they intended to replace it soon. And anthropomorphizing objects is associated with a tendency to accumulate.So how do people assign characteristics to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are associated with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as more dominant-looking than narrow-faced ones, and preferred them—especially in competitive situations. An analysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with grilles(格栅) that were upturned like smiles and headlights that were slanted(倾斜的)like narrowed eyes sold best. The purchasers saw these features as increasing a car’s friendliness and aggressiveness, respectively. It’s little wonder so many companies use mascots(吉祥物)to bring brands to life. An analysis of 1,151 brand characters found symbols that were human or humanlike to be common.Personifying products and brands can backfire, however. When a coffee maker was anthropomorphized in an ad (“I am Aroma” versus just “Aroma”),consumers felt betrayed by increases in its price. Now that speech-enabled coffee makers are on the market, maybe the machines can sweet-talk their way back into consumers, hearts.56. The word “anthropomorphize”(in paragraph 1) most probably means_________.A. think highly of somethingB. find a better way to rate somethingC. see something as humansD. use something as often as possible57. For the college students, the interaction with the phone served as a reminder that .A. they were not lonelyC. they needed real friendsB. the phone had human qualitiesD. the phone was not always necessary58. The writer mentions an analysis of car sales in Germany in order to_________.A. show that friendliness is better received than aggressivenessB. highlight that a symbol looking like a smile appeals more to peopleC. explain why so many companies use mascots to promote their brandsD. illustrate that people will judge something according to its appearance59. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Consumers should know more about a product before it is on the market.B. Products with a mascot are more likely to win consumers' hearts.C. Increases in a produces price may be accepted with a good ad.D. The personification of a product may not always work.(B)University Shotokan Karate ClubLearn Karate—self-defense and fitnessThe university karate club was founded in 1962. All grades from beginners to advanced are welcome. The classes are suitable for both men and women and several women have obtained their black belt.TUESDAY AND THURSDAY6.00—8.00 p.m.WEA VER HOUSE GYMFIRST LESSON FREEHardly any of us have experienced real violence, but, over the last few years, attacks on innocent people have increased. Each of us has some ability to defend ourselves, and by learning a form of self-defence, we are not only increasing that ability, but also doing something to build our own sense of respect. Karate will show you a lot of simple and effective techniques to protect yourself, giving you increase self-confidence.Far too many people think martial arts (武术) are about violence. Martial arts training is based on a lot of respect, self-discipline, self-control and non-violence. We learn basic etiquette, courtesy and tolerance. Good manners and consideration for others are expected at all times.Karate is the practice of blocking and striking techniques for the purpose of self-defence, health and self-development. Karate exercises the entire body. Techniques are practised on both sides of the body, therefore muscle imbalances do not occur and the strength, coordination, flexibility and agility of both sides of the body are improved. Regular training in Karate improves the body’s physical endurance and flexibility. It also helps concentration and produces the mental calm and assurance that come from knowing we can defend ourselves.Karate has many benefits but they do not come easily or overnight. Training requires ongoing commitment and hard work. Some of you will give up, but a few of you will get your black belt.60. The passage is mainly intended to_________.A. tell readers the benefits of KarateB. attract readers to join the clubC. encourage people to get their black beltD. correct people’s misunderstand of Karate61. What can be learned about University Shotokan Karate Club?A. More men than women have been its members.B. It tests members to see what level they are at.C. Members don’t need to pay for the lessons.D. It offers 4 hours of lessons every week.62. According to the passage, which of the following statements about Karate is true?A. It cultivates people’s respect for themselves as well as for others.B. It involves people’s arm muscles more than body musclesC. It makes people healthy physically instead of mentally.D. It focuses as much on self-defence as on attack.(C)In the classic novel The Day of the Triffids, giant plants terrorise humanity. Triffids can walk and are equipped with poisonous stingers, but their real power lies in their ability to communicate and so plot against us.It sounds far-fetched, but since John Wyndham’s book was published in 1951, one aspect of this fiction has proved to be science fact: plants do talk to one another. It has long been known that insects such as pollinators (传粉者)and pests can distinguish between plants by the chemicals they release. What’s new is the idea that plants use their emissions to talk among themselves. “Plants release chemicals into the atmosphere—these can be viewed as a language in the sense that a plant releasing the chemicals can be viewed as ‘speaking’ and the plant receiving them as ‘listening’ and then responding,” says chemical ecologist James Blande at the University of Eastern Finland.Now we are discovering that air pollution can disrupt these communications. In one study, Blande and his colleagues put individual bumblebees into a box containing paper flowers resembling those of black mustard (芥末). When the scientists injected the scent of real black mustard flowers that grew in either a clean or polluted atmosphere the bumblebees’ re actions were unequivocal: they were immediately attracted to the unpolluted scent, while that from polluted air left them flying around aimlessly.It’s not just the clarity of plant language that gets disrupted,the “loudness” is affected, too. To find out how much things have changed since pre-industrial times, Jose Fuentes at the University of Virginia and his colleagues made a computer model that included historic air pollution levels. It revealed that scents(气味)produced by flowers that could once be picked up kilometres away now travel as little as 200 metres.Even between clean and dirty environments today, a similar reduction in signal can be seen. Take lima beans. When one plant is attacked by spider mites, it emits chemical signals that make others nearby produce more sugary nectar. This, in turn, attracts predatory mites, which eat the attackers. If the atmosphere is clean, Blande found, the beans easily communicate with neighbours growing 70 centimetres away. But in polluted conditions, their warning cries can’t be heard more than 20 centimetres away.63. The writer mentions the novel The Day of the Triffids in order to_________.A. show how far-fetched the novel isB. introduce the topic of the passageC. warn readers of a possible dangerD. illustrate a new discovery of plants64. The word “unequivocal”(in paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to_________.A. familiarB. unpredictableC. differentD. inter-related65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The scent of plants can’t travel in a shorter distance in polluted airB. Classic novels are usually based on some proved scientific facts.C. It was in pre-industrial times that pollution came into existence.D. Warning cries made by insects are getting softer and softer.66. What is the passage mainly about?A. Chemical signals vary with the age of plants.B. Pollinators and insects either damage or benefit plants.C. Pollution has an impact on the communication between plants.D. Plants communicate with each other by means of what they emit.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.We may have 750 friends online,but we’re lonelyMy phone and my laptop are within constant touching distance, whether Tm eating, drinking, in the shower, or watching the football. Before I get up every morning, I check my email, my texts and my Twitter feed. By the time I’ve got out of the shower, it’s time to do it again. I have a constant drip-drop of information from any of the 750 online friends and followers that I associate with. ______67______. How does a 28-year-old man get like this?______68______ In a recent survey of young people, 60 percent said they found it difficult to make friends ‘in real life’ compared with online. I’m way beyond being an awkward teen, but I am wired up most of the day, as are most of my friends. I go to parties, pubs and dinners, but I am there only in spirit. Far from bringing me closer to people, my phone drives me further away.I feel isolated. During working hours, I chatter away on social-networking sites, delaying tasks. I am in a constant state of distraction. Paradoxically(矛盾地), I no longer see the verypeople I want to see becaus e I have been ‘talking’ to them all day.Last weekend, I threw a dinner party. The moment that the food arrived, one best friend aged 26 got up to make a phone call while my other best friend, 27, sat through dinner checking Twitter for football scores. _______69_____ Social networking dominates.The terrifying thing is that none of us can go cold turkey. ______70______If you’re an alcoholic, you can avoid alcohol, but how do I avoid the internet or my phone? I need it to do my job, because my employers demand that they can contact me at any time.That's the problem with social networking. You are hardwired in, but you are always the same cool distance apart.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Is Alan Sugar a Role Model?In this paper I would like to discuss the question 4Is Alan Sugar a role model for people going into business?9 There are certainly reaso ns to answer 'yes’ or ‘no’ to this question.Alan Sugar has definitely been a successful businessman and celebrity. He left school at 16 with no qualifications and started his own business selling electrical goods out of the back of a van. He now has an estimated fortune of £830 million and is the 84th richest man in the UK. His Amstrad CPC 464 was one of the first home computers and by the end of the 1980s Amstrad had a stock market value of £1.25 billion. In the nineties and later he started buying and selling companies such as Sinclair, Betacom, Viglen and eventually sold Amstrad itself, at a profit. He was also Chairman of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. He has now become a TV celebrity with his own TV series The Apprentice', which is a reality TV show where a group of young business people try to win an important position in Alan Sugar’s company.On the other hand, Alan Sugar has, for a long time, not been very popular with many people. He has a reputation for being a rude and insensitive man. He has tr eated the contestants on ‘The Apprentice’ badly. In fact Alan Sugar is best known for saying ‘You’re fired!’ to someone in every episode. Many business people have also said that. ‘The Apprentice’ actually shows you how not to run a business, rather than how to run one. Even his business skills have been questioned. Amstrad was very unsuccessful in the nineties and many people blame Sugar personally for that failure.In conclusion, Alan Sugar is certainly not an ideal role model. However, in my opinion Alan Sugar is a role model because he started with nothing and finished a millionaire. Such a story surely has lessons for all of us.V.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Jenny Carter an NHS coordinator is an “extreme night owl,” one of an estimated 8.2% of the population whose natural inclination(倾向)is to fall asleep well after midnight. Left to her own devices, she’d prefer to go to bed around 3 a.m. and wake up about noon. Why do night owls exist? There is no single ___1___ accepted theory, but evolutionary biologists think that communities with more variation in chronotypes(睡眠类型)may have been more likely to survive.Another theory is that variation is ___2___ how genetics works. Right from birth, our personal biological clocks are already ___3___. Genetics establishes a person’s chronotype. Colin Espie, professor of sleep medicine at the University of Oxford, says this ___4___ differences in hair eye and skin color or height.Natural night owls are ___5___ different from insomniacs or people who stay up until the early hours because of family or work circumstances. Being a night owl isn’t a problem.But this isn’t always well understood. Jessica Batchelor is a medical writer who feels most productive at 11 p.m. “I can’t tell anyone when I went to sleep, woke up, showered or ate a meal without being ___6___,” she says “I struggle with feelings of guilt and shame.”This mentality is rooted in our agrarian(耕地的)past when farm work had to begin at dawn.Our culture mistakenly associates sleeping little and rising early with ___7___. It is often extolled(颂扬)as a habit of successful people: for instance in the ___8___ with Margaret Thatcher’s four-hour rest, orarticles about “sleepless-elite” CEOs who start their days with a 4 a.m. jog.Actually, there is nothing wrong with staying up late as long as you’re getting a good amount of sleep every night; ___9___, early risers have no special biological advantage. What research has not disproved, however, is that morning people tend to get more done.The productivity expert Laura Vanderkam ____10____ that people should consider switching their schedule not because it’s necessarily better but because it’s practical.Waking up earlier to work out, make headway on a creative project or enjoy a stress-free cup of coffee can help make it easier to accomplish more without sacrificing time for yourself.三、完形填空Researchers continue to show the power behind our sense of smell. Recent studies have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in ____1____ on roads.The review explains that smell is unique in its effect on the ____2____ . According to Conrad King, the researcher who carried out the review, “more than any other senses, the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with ____3____ . This is why the smell of baking bread can ____4____ the best intentions of one going on a diet.”Smell, which reveals the unbelievable ____5____ of food tastes, has always been the least understood of our senses. Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000 ____6____ smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1, 000 genes, which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome (基因组). Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004 for their ground-breaking research on the ____7____ of this extraordinary sense. These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1,000 olfactory (嗅觉的) genes and to explain how our olfactory system works.According to one study in the research review, smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel ____8____ with other road users. They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads. The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry, and therefore ____9____ to satisfy their appetites.____10____ , the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers’ impatience.____11____ , the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.However, the way that genes ____12____ smell differs from person to person.

I seek minds whose qualities illuminate(照亮) me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend.He was in despair(失望) and 1 was in despair. Butour friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind.In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell…’’We have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing(愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.1.In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means _________.A.our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of usB.we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from LondonC.our unpleasant feeling about London disappearedD.we parted with each other in London2.In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to _________.A.seek professional helpB.be left aloneC.stay with her best friendD.break the silence3.What is the best title for the passage?A.Unforgettable ExperiencesB.Remarkable ImaginationC.Lifelong FriendshipD.Noble CompanionsBI have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park which lies in Hawaii.When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were suggested to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. In the next morning weall jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o’clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour we imagined.how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.Nearly another one hour later, “Amazing!” a word burst out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness which is really unbelievable. Until today I dare say that it is the most impressive(印象深刻的)sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I cannot wipe out forever.Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination but what about the result after that? It might turn out to be pleasingly unbelievable and satisfied. So, it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.4.When did they see the first light of the sunrise?A.About 3 o’clock.B.About 4 o’clock.C.Nearly 5 o’clock.D.Nearly 6 o’clock.5.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “chilly” in paragraph three?A.Cold.B.Interesting.C.Warm.D.Terrible.6.What’s the author’s attitude towards waiting for the sunrise?A.Excited all the time.B.Firstly excited then impatient.C.Afraid all the time.D.Firstly excited then afraid.7.What does the author want to tell us by this passage?A.My friends and I took a trip to Hawaii.B.I enjoyed the most flaming sunrise in my life.C.Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunrise.D.Sometimes it is worthwhile to wait for the best.五、阅读表达阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

2023届河北省部分高中高三下学期第三次模拟考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解4Best Places to Travel in20232023is the year when travel returns in a big way.To get you started,we’ve rounded up some of the best places to travel in2023.All you need to do is pick the place that appeals to you.CopenhagenWith its fantastic houses,clean streets and colorful architecture,Copenhagen is regarded as the most livable city on the d the World Capital of Architecture for2023, Copenhagen will offer a series of major artistic events and programs sure to delight architects and design lovers.BhutanFor travelers with a sense of adventure and a love of discovery,Bhutan has always been a must-go destination.In2023,travelers can once again explore the Trans Bhutan Trail, which runs250miles from east to west,offering visits to the century-old communities along the journey.The trail spans(横跨)18major bridges and national parks and connects more than400historic and cultural sites.BordeauxThe coming years will be sporty in the historical wine region of Bordeaux in France.In 2023,the city will host the Rugby World Cup,an intense and stressful game.Beyond sports, Bordeaux is one of the favorite historical cities,with more than350structures that are either nationally or regionally listed as historical monuments.NamibiaWildlife and adventure lovers looking for a unique path in African Safari trips should head straight to Namibia in2023—this country in southern Africa is the perfect place to travel to reconnect with nature and escape the modern stresses of life.On the wildlife front, you may see lions along with giraffes and elephants.1.What is Copenhagen well-known for?A.The natural landscape.B.The adventure travel.C.Eye-catching architecture.D.Famous art designers.2.What can you visit on the Trans Bhutan Trail?A.Modern communities.B.Cultural relics.C.Historical wine regions.D.National monuments.3.Which place attracts those who want to be free from stressful city life?A.Copenhagen.B.Bhutan.C.Bordeaux.D.Namibia.In casual conversations,there is a seemingly simple question I can never answer without hesitating—“Where are you from?”I could say I am from Thailand,where I was born.Or I am from Mexico,where I spent the majority of my childhood.Or I am from the US,whose language is rooted into my life.In my mind,none of these answers are satisfying enough.After all,to be from somewhere carries expectations of understanding“your”culture and“your”home.I feel envious whenever my friends say they’re“going home”for school breaks.As a student who frequently moves,I have never seen my living space as“home”,but“shelter”, another location to stay in before I unavoidably move again.So,does this mean I do not have,and will never have,a home?I resign myself to living with this sense of sadness,until very recently.In my dorm,inside my drawer is a specially designed white bath towel that I have not used since I brought it with me from my parents’house.One day,I took it out,but stopped after smelling the soft,sweet laundry detergent(洗衣粉),the one my parents used back in Thailand.I felt my eyes water as that random smell brought my mixed emotions to the surface:sadness and nostalgia,a strong feeling of missing home.I still avoid using that towel until now because I don’t want to replace the smell of nostalgia with my newly-bought detergent.Sadly,even with this new discovery,I will still struggle when answering where I am from,and I will always feel a sense of loss in not having a physical home to“go back to”.Yet, in random moments,when a smell catches me off guard(让我猝不及防)with the memories it brings,I like to believe that the things I feel then are things people feel when they are home. And if these moments can make me smile,even with a sense of loss,what better home can I ask for?4.Why is the author unable to see his living space as“home”?A.His living places often change.B.He is unsatisfied with the place.timing reminder that we have to match our body clock with.So it seems there’s a divide between what’s likely best for our health and what may be good for the economy.Due to the economic burden and tight budget,it is not hard to guess which one will be given higher priority among policymakers this year.8.What benefit does DST bring?A.Boosting consumption.B.Lengthening daytime.C.Avoiding constant switches.D.Brightening the mornings. 9.What does the underlined word“transition”in Paragraph3mean?A.Impact.B.Exposure.C.Disorder.D.Change. 10.What does Jay think of DST?A.It helps restore energy.B.It raises health concerns.C.It is a timing reminder.D.It matches humans’body clock. 11.What will the policymakers probably do this year?A.Choose DST.B.Adopt YRST.C.Tighten the economy.D.Increase funds on healthcare.Artificial Intelligence(AI)tools have become extremely powerful,surprising even their creators.Most people have probably read a book or seen a movie about an AI or robot that has become so smart that it can take over the world.The AI in stories like these is known as AGI or Artificial General Intelligence.True AGI would be intelligent in many different areas and would be able to learn on its own.Currently,there is no real AGI.Most experts believe it will be many years before an AGI could possibly be created.Scientists have been working to improve AI models,mainly by training the models on larger and larger collections of information.Those efforts are paying off.The AI tool that has gotten the most attention recently is ChatGPT,created by the company Open AI.ChatGPT appears to be extremely intelligent,which answers quickly in perfect sentences,makes up stories and games,writes essays and much more.Another powerful model called GPT-4is also developed by the same company.GPT-4can create and explain jokes,and pass tests.The rapid progress of recent A I models worries some st week,many computer experts released a letter calling for a six-month pause in any work on AI tools stronger than GPT-4.The letter claimed AI companies were in a race to create“powerful digital minds”thatno one could“understand,predictor control”.The group behind the letter wants government s to develop laws to make sure A I tools are safe.Not all AI experts agree with the letter.Some say the letter makes today’s AI tools sound more intelligent than they really are.Others say it’s more important to worry about real problems in current AI tools rather than imaginary ones in the future.ChatGPT has caused so much excitement that many companies are likely to keep developing powerful AI tools.But the letter has sent a strong warming that many people—including leaders—will be thinking about carefully.12.Why are the book and movie mentioned in Paragraph1?A.To show the surprising power of AI.B.To clarify AI will take over the world.C.To state the threat of A I to its creators.D.To indicate an AI or robot is smart enough.13.What can be inferred about ChatGPT from Paragraph2?A.It offers practical instructions on essay-writing skills.B.It trains AI models on how to present information.C.It has difficulty in understanding jokes.D.It produces perfect language response.14.What’s the letter’s attitude to Chat GPT?A.In different.B.Favorable.C.Concerned.D.Disappointed. 15.What is the text mainly about?A.Why AI tools are beneficial to us.B.Why AI tools are accessible to the public.C.Whether AI tools are having a bright future.D.Whether AI tools are becoming too powerful.二、七选五三、完形填空四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、开放性作文46.假定你是校学生会主席李华,学生会将举行以“Enjoy Reading,Enjoy Life”为主题的校园读书分享活动。

that‟s nothing,” Mayor Pam Fogarty said of the punishments.“But it‟s the most we could do.People are saying to me, …Let‟s go burn down their house.‟”51.________ is the real person contributing to the girl‟s death.A.Josh Evans B.Ron Meier C.Lori Drew D.Craig McGuire52.Why was the woman NOT punished by the authority?A.Because she wasn‟t very rude and was only regarded as immature.B.Because she had nothing to do with the girl‟s death.C.Because all people agreed not to put her into prison.D.Because what she had done didn‟t go against the law.53.From the passage, we can know that ______.A.Megan Meier had her own page on MySpace.comB.the girl believed Josh Evans was an imaginary boyC.after the girl died, her parents found the murderer at onceD.it was the police who found the death of Megan Meier54.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.A.the mayor was tired and wanted to have a breakB.the measure to punish the criminals wasn‟t severeC.Pam Fogarty hadn‟t tried his best to solve the problemD.burning down such bad men‟s house is the best solutionBThe holiday shopping season is once again upon us.The super malls and smaller shopping centers will all be packed as hurried Americans search for the perfect gift.The crooks and thieves that prey upon innocent shoppers are well aware of this fact.Even if you don‟t in volve yourself with holiday gift buying, you could end up a victim of theft.Thieves do not distinguish the holiday shopper from the everyday shopper.Thieves only know that there are more potential targets of opportunity this time of year.They also know that many people are complacent (不以为然的) about personal safety issues year round.They‟ll factor in the belief that many people take on added stress this time of year while running from store to store with so much to do and so little time to do it.Shoppers who might normally consider personal safety an afterthought push it back even further as they try to negotiate their way through the month of December.College students are not an exception to the rule!As a member of our university community, you‟re also easi ly influenced by the dangers of mall shopping this time of year.Take a minute and picture any of the local area malls.Close your eyes and think about the overflowing parking lots and the crowds moving around.The sights, sounds and distractions all can lull you into a state of personal safety complacency.Aside from the shoplifters who steal merchandise from store shelves are the thieves who perpetrate (犯) snatch and grab crimes.And this is the sort of crime that you‟re most vulnerable to, especially when yo u find yourself carrying a large number of shopping bags and packages.However, as is the case with most other types of criminal behavior, there are a number of crime prevention measures you can take to lessen or stop your chances of becoming a victim.So take the time to read and then put into practice the following holiday shopping tips.55.The author is most probably _______.A.a newspaper reporter B.a novelistC.a member of university community D.a police spokesman56.What d oes the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Shoppers.B.Thieves.C.Personal safety issues.D.College students.57.Why is a person more likely to become a victim of theft during holiday shopping?A.Because he often has much to buy.B.Because he often does shopping in a hurry.C.Because there are crowds of shoppers.D.All of the above.58.What is the writer‟s purpose in writing this passage?A.To tell readers different kinds of crimes.B.To make readers aware of holiday shopping dangers.C.To give advice on selecting the perfect gift.D.To introduce American public security situation.59.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A.Holiday shopping safety.B.Suitable shopping places.C.Personal safety during holidays.D.How to identify a thief.CBEIJING — The rescue operations at a coal mine accident have ended with 105 miners dead.The StateCouncil has organized an investigation team to probe (调查) into what caused the disaster in the city of Linfen, North China‟s Shanxi Province.Preliminary investigations show the illegal mining of an unauthorized seam, and the number of miners who had been sent down the shaft far exceeded its capacity.This mine was found to have long disregarded the rules to steal state coal, and did not have a list of miners employed to check the number of miners missing after the accident.How did such a coal mine get all the necessary licenses for production? How did it pass the three safety inspections the local government organized last month?In response to this disaster, the Shanxi governor promised to set up hotlines for people to report illegal coal mines and rewards as high as 100,000 yuan for tip-offs.We appreciate the action this governor has taken to solving the coal mining problems, and we believe that the reporting scheme will help to stop the existence of illegal coal mines.But at the same time we have reason to question how governments at various levels supervise these mines.The sad fact that such a mine with serious safety problems could pass three consecutive local government safety inspections in a month is enough to tell us how ineffective the safety inspections were.What if these inspections were just a formality? What if the inspectors were bribed by the mine owners to turn a blind eye to the safety dangers? We can well imagine what would happen if reports about mine problems were handled by such officials.So a thorough probe must find out who are responsible for the death of so many miners.A real safety inspection and management system must be established to guarantee that safety dangers will be removed.60.What is NOT one of the causes of this coal mine accident?A.The workers didn‟t operate properly.B.The mine didn‟t obey t he rules to mine for coal.C.A lot more miners than allowed were working under the mine.D.The safety inspections were ineffective.61.According to the writer, who should be further investigated?A.Mine owners and miners.B.Miners‟ familie s and mine staff.C.Government officials and safety inspectors.D.The Shanxi governor and miners.62.What can we infer from the passage?A.More than 105 miners died in the disaster.B.Some other coal mines like this one exist in Shanxi province.C.Safety inspectors just turned a blind eye to hidden dangers.D.The three inspections were only a formality.63.What does the underlined word “tip-offs” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A.Some warnings.B.Some money for one‟s service.C.Some secret information.D.Some pieces of advice.DMany people are tired of their jobs and know they want to give something back to the environment, but have no idea where to look for a green-collar job.That‟s where consultants such as Marie Kerpan can help out.Tired of her own job as a career adviser at a New Y ork firm, and expecting the looming trend of green career changers, Kerpan in 2000, positioned herself as an environmental career consultant — the first, she claims, of her kind.Since then, her company, Green Careers, has helped thousands of people assess what cause their skills and interests are best suited to — which could be anything from renewable energy to water conservation — and has helped them get hired.Most of her clients come from middle management or higher, and are seeking what she calls a path-of-least-resistance move —“doing something you already know how to do and putting it in the context of the green agenda,” she explains.One former human resources manager at General Electric, for exa mple, had “a whole bag of tools, and justhad to figure out how to use them” in a green job.The solution was simple enough — she landed a post as human resources manager at an organic foods company.But if someone prefers his green career to be a completel y new experience, that‟s okay too.“This is a new frontier, and there‟s also a lot more freedom to make a greater change,” says Kerpan.Such was the case with architect-turned-activist Horowitz.As partner in San Francisco‟s KMD Architects, he seemed to have all: a central role in successful commercial projects, frequent travels to exciting destinations, and enough downtime to mind his own Sonoma V alley vineyard.But through his involvement with Equator Environmental, a for-profit group he co-founded with his nephew Gerrity Lansing, Horowitz awakened an inner passion for the environment.The creation and sale of carbon credits (碳排放信用), he realized, could make more profit by conserving rainforests than destroying

The back-to-back announcements highlight how one of America’s largest employers is rethinking its coronavirus policies in the face of rising infections linked to the Delta variant.“In response to the concerning spread of Covid-19 variants in the US and guidance from public health authorities and our own medical experts, we are requiring face coverings indoors regardless of vaccination status,”said Kelly Nantel, an Amazon spokesperson, in a statement to CNN Business.We are monitoring the situation closely and will continue to follow local government guidance and work closely with leading medical healthcare professionals, gathering their advice and recommendations as we go forward to ensure our buildings are optimized for the safety of our teams,” Nantel said.A growing number of big companies have shifted their policies for corporate and frontline workers as the pandemic has worsened, in some cases requiring vaccinations. But for now, Amazon does not appear to be taking that step: Nantel declined to comment on whether the company is considering a vaccine mandate.Amazon (AMZN) had relaxed its mask requirement on May 24 for fully vaccinated US warehouse workers, at least in areas where local regulations did not continue to require them. More recently, Amazon (AMZN) said it would stop offering on-site Covid-19 testing by the end of July, citing the wide availability of testing and vaccines.Amazon’s business boomed during the pandemic as households and companies leaned on its various services. But the company was criticized early on in the pandemic after some workers said the company had not provided sufficient protective equipment or adequately cleaned its warehouses, leading to protests and lawsuits.4.What is the main function of paragraph 1?A.To introduce the topicB.To clarify the problemC.To explain a conceptD.To raise reader’s interest5.What do we know about the move carried out by Amazon?A.It means all of Amazon’s members will be required to wear masks indoors for the first time.B.It will come into effect on Monday,in response to the request of corporate workers.C.It implies the great impact of the Covid-19 variants on American economy.D.It regulates that those who are not vaccinated should wear masks6.Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 5and 6?A.Amazon had relaxed its mask requirement for uninfected workers.B.All companies don’t require the workers to get vaccinated.C.Amazon is still considering whether the testing should be stopped.D.Few companies attach great significance to Covid-19.7.What can we learn form the last paragraph?A.After being criticized for its lack of protective equipment,Amazon took actions at once.B.The demand for Amazon’s various services declined greatly during the pandemic.C.The pandemic blocked the development of Amazon to some extent.D.Amazon faced charges early on,for its lack of health and safety awarenessCResidents at Parkfield House Nursing Home celebrated the end of a £10,000 project with a showcase of their work with friends and family.For the past year the group, known as the Parkfield Peckers, have worked closely with artists,Glebe Primary School and creative ageing charity Equal Arts as they delved into the history of the area and those who’ve lived at the 19th Century home.Hannah Wood from charity Equal Arts said: “The exhibition at Uxbridge Civic Centre was just the icing on the cake! Going into the project,there was so much enthusiasm from the group to explore the heritage of the home, so many have their roots in the area and we were keen to capture and share their knowledge in creative ways.”There’s been a mixture of creativity with illustration, photography, portraiture, music, story-telling and collage as the group took part in weekly artist-led workshops and linked up with schoolchildren to share ideas.Glendeen Quow, manager of the Canford Healthcare-run home, is in no doubt about the project’s benefit to residents, staff and the home. She said: “It’s been a busy year and we have all loved every minute of it. It’s been a privilege to learn about our fascinating heritage and a joy to see our residents grow in confidence each week as they were introduced to the different workshops and artists. We have enjoyed strengthening our relationships with the local community, especially with the staff and children at Glebe Primary School.”Clare Sheldon, who provides Pastoral Support at Glebe Primary School, said: “The children have been proud to be a part of this project and connect with the Parkfield residents. It’s been great for them to have experience in talking to and sharing with older people, it gives them a stronger sense of understanding and compassion. This project has been a great way of exploring their own emotions and identity and we look forward to continuing our friendship with Parkfield.”8.What does the underlined sentence mean?A.The exhibition at Uxbridge Civic Centre matters most in this project.B.The exhibition can have a greatly positive influence on the project.C.The exhibition has a lot of things that can convey artists’ creativity fully.D.The exhibition aims to show different kinds of cakes.9.What can’t you appreciate in weekly artist-led workshops?A.PaintingsB.StatuesC.Fancy songsD.Touching stories10.What can we learn about the project,according to the passage?A.It’s been promoted greatly by Glebe Primary School and Parkfield House Nursing Home.B. Residents can appreciate distinct works of art in workshops monthly.C.It conveys the significance of strengthening relationships with the local community.D.Participants can have a better understanding of fascinating culture in their area11.What is Glendeen Quow’s attitude towards the project?A.NeutralB.SkepticalC.IndifferentD.AffirmativeDSearch engines have changed the way we use the Internet, putting vast sources of information just a few clicks away. But Harvard professor of psychology Line Daniel Wegner’s recent research proves that websites and the Internet are changing much more than technology itself. They are changing the way our memories function. Wegner’s latest study shows that when people have access to search engines, they remember fewer facts and less information because they know they can rely on “search” as a readily available shortcut.Wegner believes the new findings show that the Internet has become part of a transactive memory source, a method by which our brains divide information,which means you don’t have to remember everything in the world yourself. You just have to remember who knows it. Now computers and technology are becoming virtual extensions of our memory.Wegner conducted several experiments to demonstrate the phenomenon, using various forms of memory recall to test reliance on computers. In one experiment, participants demonstrated that they were more likely to think of computer terms like “Yahoo” or “Google” after being asked a set of difficult trivia questions. In another experiment, participants typed some statements into a computer and they were told the statements would be saved in specific folders. Next, they were asked to recall the statements. Finally, they were given cues to the wording and asked to name the folders where the statements were stored. The participants proved better able to recall the folder locations than the statements themselves.Wegner admits that questions remain about whether dependence on computers will affect memories negatively:“Nobody knows now what the effects of these tools are on logical thinking.” Students who have trouble remembering distinct facts, for example, may struggle to employ those facts in critical thinking. But he believes that the situation overall is beneficial, comparing dependence on computers to dependence on a mechanical hand or other prosthetic device.And even though we may not be using our memories to recall distinct facts, we are still using them to consider where the facts are located and how to access them. “We still have to remember things,” Wegner explains. “We’re just remembering a different range of things.” He believes his study will lead to further research into understanding computer dependence, and looks forward to tracing the extent of human interdependence with the computer world — pinpointing the “movable dividing line between us and our computers in cyber networks.”12.From the experiment ,when asked to provide facts that are not familiar to them, people tend to ________.A.think of specific information sourcesB.type into computer and remember themC.recall them from their deep memoriesD.link the unfamiliar facts to their experiences13.Which one can be an an example of the transactive memory?A.An actor organizes today’s schedule with his agent.B.A student asks his teacher for today’s homework.C.A husband relies on his wife to remember a relative’s birthdayD.A boss asks the staff about the performance of the previous month.14.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Computer dependence affects our thinking capacities in other distinct fields.B.Reliance on computers does not necessarily reduce human memory.C.Computers have helped people to understand the memory system better.D.Researches should be done to reveal the side effect of computer dependence.15.Which of the following can serve as the best title?A.Wegner’s Research Has Pinpointed The Dividing LineB.Technological Networks Reshaping Our Brain FunctionsC.Human’s Memory Capability Becoming Inevitably WeakerD.Heavy Reliance On Computer For Storing More Information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能填入空白处的最佳选项。

during the trip.23.The price for“foot passenger”on Saturday booked by phone is_______per person.A.£1B.£2C.£5D.£624.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To advertise a service.B.To tell the arrangement of a trip.C.To compare prices from different companies.D.To introduce a new company.BWith autumn on the horizon,the season’s first Osca r competitors are here.Already,the Hollywood Reporter has predicted that the often-snubbed(冷落的)Leonardo DiCaprio could win.Although before we get swept up in predictions,it’s nice to remember that little gold men are not the reason we love the movies.They shouldn’t be the primary reason for acting in them either.Bill Murray knows this first hand.Murray was positioned to win his first-ever Oscar Academy Award for 2004’s“Lost in Translation”,but he lost it to Sean Penn.Years later,Murray explained how he too k the defeat instride(从容应对),and his words should act as a blueprint for anyone who has failed:“I went through it once before and it’s nice to get nominated and win some prizes.You get to go to dinners and tell little stories and so forth.Then you get to get dressed up.And then you get to be on TV,which is sweet.And you can either win or lose.Well you’re not supposed to say‘lose’when you talk about the Oscar.You are supposed to say‘not chosen’.But I later realized that I had gotten a little caught up in the possibility of winnin g.So,shame on myself for getting caught in it.But I won a lot of the prizes for Lost in Translation.So I thought it didn’t seem unnatural to expect that I would be rewarded just one more time.So when it didn’t happen,I thought,‘Well,that’s kind of funny.’But to get prizes is not why you work.”Murray isn’t alone in those feelings.No mention of actors without Oscars would be complete without recognition of Leonardo DiCaprio,who said,“I don’t think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever,to tell you the truth.That is not my motivation when I do these roles.I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of.”Perhaps neither Murray nor DiCaprio will ever be introduced as an Academy Award-winning actor,but winning an Oscar for acting shouldn’t be the point.Here are some other amazing actors who never won an Oscar,even if you think they did:Julianne Moore,Brad Pitt,Johnny Depp,Tom Cruise,Harrison Ford,Will Smith.And they have proved that countless times before.25.We can learn about Bill Murray from the passage that_________.A.he felt ashamed that he didn’t win the Oscar.B.he never expected himself to win the Oscar.C.he had already won many other awards before he failed in Oscar.D.he is the first actor who had been predicted to win the Oscar but failed.26.Leonard DiCaprio is motivated to act different roles because_________A.he wants to win the Oscar.B.he can cooperate with great people.C.he wants others to take pride in him.D.he is not the only actor who hasn’t won the Oscar.27.The underlined word“that”in the last paragraph refers to“_________”.A.Neither Murray nor DiCaprio will won an Oscar.B.Winning an Oscar for acting shouldn’t be the point.C.Some amazing actors have never won an Oscar.D.You think that some actors should have won an Oscar.28.What is the writer’s attitude to Leonardo’s idea on winning an Oscar?A.Approving.B.CriticalC.Indifferent.D.Neutral.CIt’s generally believed that people act the way they do b ecause of their personalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment. They pay$5 for a caramel brulée latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.It’s undeniable that behavior comes from our inner disposition s(性情),but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern, by observing our own behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds, why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes.Actually,we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.Moreover,we don’t just use our behavior to lear n about our particular types of character—we infer characters that weren’t there before.Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us,which we fail to recognize.Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn’t.May be we buy lattesin order to impress the people around us.We should not believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make,people become what they do,though it may not be in compliance(符合)with their true desires.Therefore,we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut’s advice:“We are what we pretend to be,so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”29.According to the passage,personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to______.A.determine one’s behaviorB.reflect one’s tasteC.influence one’s surroundingsD.result from one’s habits30.Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with?A.A kind person will offer his seat to the old.B.One buys latte out of true love of coffee.C.One recycles plastics to protect the environment.D.The return of a wallet can indicate one’s honesty.31.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?A.We fail to realize our inner dispositions.B.We can be influenced by outside pressures.C.Our behavior is the result of our true desires.D.Our characters can shape our social relationships.32.What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?A.Personalities and attitudes.B.Preferences and habits.C.Behavior and personalities.D.Attitudes and preferences.DGravitational waves are the ripples(波纹)in the pond of space time.The gravity of large objects warps space and time,or“space time”as physicists call it,the way a bowling ball changes the shape of a trampoline(蹦床)as it rolls around on it.Smaller objects will move differently as a result—like marbles spiraling(盘旋)toward a bowling-ball-sized dent(凹迹)in a trampoline instead of sitting on a flat surface.Scientists announced that they have succeeded in detecting gravitational waves from the violent merging(兼并)of two black holes in deep space.The detection was regarded as a victory for a controversial,delicately crafted,billion-dollar physics experiment and as confirmation of a key prediction of Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.There is no obvious,immediate consequence of this physics experiment,but the scientists say this opens a new window on the universe.Until now,astronomy has been almost exclusively a visual enterprise:Scientists have relied on light,visible and otherwise,to observe the cosmos.But now gravitational waves can be used as well.They could potentially take a census of black-hole mergers,spot the collisions of ultra-dense neutron stars(中子星),probe the inner dynamics of exploding stars and discover theoretical“cosmic strings”left over from the big bang.These waves will be particularly useful for studying black holes(the existence of which was first implied by Einstein’s theory)and other dark objects,because they’ll give scientists a bright beacon to search for even when objects don’t emit actual light.Mapping the abundance of black holes and frequency of their mergers could get a lot easier.Since they pass through matter without interacting with it,gravitational waves would come to Earth carrying undistorted information about their origin.They could also improve methods for estimating the distances to other galaxies.It will also start a new era of astronomy in which gravitational waves are tools for studying the most mysterious and exotic objects in the universe.33.According to the passage,which of the following is true about the experiment of gravitational waves?A.It is a success and was approved of by all.B.It is well designed though time and money consuming.C.It proves that black holes do give out gravitational waves.D.It proves one of the key predictions of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity right.34.Why is gravitational waves important?A.Because scientists have relied on light,visible and otherwise,to observe the cosmos.B.Because they have been used to discover facts about the inner dynamics of exploding stars.C.Because they could make it possible to probe objects in total darkness even when they don’t give out light.D.Because mapping the abundance of black holes and frequency of their mergers could be impossible without them.35.The underlined word“undistorted”in paragraph 6 probably mean_______A.Unrelated.B.Unfamiliar.C.Unchanged.D.Unreal.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分1 0分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。
