江苏省兴化中学2024届高三上学期10月月考英语试卷(含答案)

江苏省兴化中学2024届高三上学期10月月考英语试卷(含答案)

江苏省兴化中学2024届高三上学期10月月考英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解This year, an unusual eight-day-long holiday will mark both the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. Here are the upcoming films designed to entertain audiences during the break.The Volunteers: To the WarThe V olunteers: To the War, directed by Chen Kaige, boasts an all-star cast, shows the sacrifices made by China’s People’s V olunteer Army during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953). Production took over a year and involved a monumental scale. No other film captures the National Day spirit quite like it. The film hits Chinese screens on Sept. 28.Under the LightThe crime drama Under the Light, directed by Zhang Yimou, also boasts an all-star cast. Zhang has described it as an exploration into fields he hasn’t dealt with before, characterizing it as urban, modern, and cool. The film will be released nationwide on Sept. 28.Lose to WinDirected by Gao Hu, Lose to Win is a Chinese remake of the 2018 Spanish film Champions, which is targeted toward audiences seeking lighthearted entertainment. The narrative centers on a conceited (自负的) basketball coach assigned to train a team of players with learning disabilities as part of his community service. Lose to Win opens across China on Sept. 28.Moscow MissionMoscow Mission, an explosive action film by Herman Yau, follows a cross-border manhunt, showing a horrible robbery and rape on a Moscow-bound train from Beijing. Inspired by true events from 1993, Yau has said how many of the scenes are nothing like he’s ever shot in his career previously as well as some he never imagined he’d film. Moscow Mission debuts in Chinese theaters on Sept. 29.1.Which film will most probably attract audiences on the National Day?A. The V olunteers: To the WarB. Under the LightC. Lose to WinD. Moscow Mission2.What do the films by Zhang Yimou and Herman Yau have in common?A. They have an all-star cast.B. They reflect the directors’ creativity.C. They are based on real life events.D. They are released on the same day.3.What is special about Lose to Win?A. It is a tragedy.B. It is about conceited basketball players.C. It is a new version.D. It takes five years to shoot.I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda, and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbo oks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.4.What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety?A. He drowned it in chocolate.B. He escaped into a fantasy world.C. He slept on the sofa leisurely.D. He conducted an experiment.5.What does the author mean by the underlined part in Paragraph 2?A. Reading novels was a waste of time.B. Reading a good book was time well spent.C. He was too busy to take good care of his books.D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.6.How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author?A. More sympathy went out to him.B. His moral values were strengthened.C. He learned much about religious diversity.D. He gained new insight into his academic discipline.7.What does the author think of the impact reading fiction books has on himself ?A. OverestimatedB. UnderestimatedC. FavourableD. TemporaryYou’re passed over for a job. Your back aches. Faced with difficulties large and small, you wonder if you’re an unlucky person. We turned to experts to understand why we believe in luck and how we can have that belief to make changes in our attitude towards life.Richard Wiseman, a psychology professor, doesn’t believe there’s anything magical about luck —it won’t help you or hurt you. “On the other hand, considering yourself lucky or unlucky is a way of seeing yourself, which has an impact on how you behave and how you think, and becomes a self-fulfilling antici pation,” he says. “So, in a sense, it absolutely does exist.”The sociology lecturer Vik Loveday interviewed academic employees who were on temporary contracts, an uncertain situation that caused anxiety. In general, when one of these academics learned about good news concerning their careers, such as getting a permanent job, they would attribute it to luck. Because they felt they had so little control, a move in a positive direction happened almost by accident, rather than as the result of hard work.In a 2021 study, Professor Woolley has looked at this idea in children and adulthood. For example, basketball player Michael Jordan would wear his college practice shorts under his National Basketball Association uniform for good luck. “Obviously, it’s that the superstitious (迷信的) custom gives him confidence and then he plays better,” Woolley says.Is it possible to change your attitude towards luck to get better outcomes? Wiseman believes some steps can improve your luck. He has found “lucky people not only max imize opportunities and know where they’re heading, but often they change course depending on how the wind is going”. Lucky people can also transform bad experiences to good.Specifically, you can shift your focus towards the positive by keeping a “luck diary”. Also don’t be a creature of habit. Watch a different TV program, speak to different people — even small shifts can be effective.8.What does Wiseman say about luck in paragraph 2?A. It might be wise to try one’s luck.B. Luck is a magical force to control us.C. The belief in luck influences our behavior.D. People’s well-being is determined by luck.9.What is the example of Jordan’s lucky shorts used for?A. Confirming Loveday’s study.B. Showing luck exists in real life.C. Disapproving Woolley’s r esearch.D. Comparing different lucks in sports.10.How can we improve our luck according to the last paragraph?A. Getting into a routine.B. Sticking to a goal firmly.C. Setting down terrible things.D. Making changes flexibly.11.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Less Anxiety, More LuckB. Good or Bad Luck? Up to YouC. One Can Stay Lucky Through LifeD. Genius — the Mother of Good LuckWhile Huawei’s official website does not call Mate 60 Pro a 5G smartphone, the phone’s wideband capabilities are on par with other 5G smartphones, raising a related question: As a leader in 5G technology, has Huawei managed to develop a 5G smartphone on its own?The answer is not simple. Huawei, as a pioneer in global 5G communication equipment, has played a leading role in the commercialization of 5G technology, with its strong system design and fields such as baseband chips (基带芯片), baseband processors and 5G modems.However, basebands and modems are not the only aspects that define 5G wireless communication. The stability and high-quality signals of a 5G smartphone also depend on other critical components such as RF transceivers (射频收发器) and RF front ends and antennas (天线) . These components are largely dominated by four US high-tech giants—Qualcomm, Avago Technologies, Ansem and Qorvo—which account for a surprising global market share.Huawei has faced significant challenges in getting critical components because of the sanctions imposed by the United States which are primarily responsible for the inability of the Chinese company to launch 5G smartphones in the past three years. However, Mate 60 Pro, despite not being labeled a 5G device, exhibits mobile network speeds comparable to Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices, offering a stable communication experience. This suggests Huawei has, over the past three years, overcome the 5G development and production limits due to the US sanctions by cooperating with domestic partners, and establishing an independent and controllable stable supply chain.Considering that Huawei has not explicitly marketed this device as a 5G smartphone, it is possible that it is yet to fully overcome some key core technological and componential shortcomings. For the time being, we can consider Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro as 4.99G. But when combined with the satellite communication capabilities of Mate 60 Pro, it is clear Huawei has been trying to find more advanced wireless communication solutions for smartphones and making significant progress in this attempt. This should be recognized as a remarkable endeavor, even a breakthrough.12.What do the underlined words “on par with” mean in Paragraph 1?A. as poor as.B. as good as.C. worse than.D. better than.13.Why was it tough for Huawei to develop a 5G smartphone three years ago?A. Its system design and fields needed to be updated.B. It only focused on the commercialization of 5G technology.C. It was unwilling to cooperate with high-tech giants in America.D. It lacked critical components mainly controlled by US high-tech giants.14.What does Paragraph 4 centre on?A. The US sanctions.B. Critical components.C. Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices.D. Progress in Mate 60 Pro.15.What is the text mainly about?A. Huawei faced with significant challengesB. Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro—a 5G smartphoneC. Huaw ei’s Mate 60 Pro—a remarkable breakthroughD. Huawei leading in global 5G communication equipment二、七选五16.Professor Zhu Yunxia, an award-winning researcher and educator at the University of Queensland and has an international reputation in cross-cultural management and strategy,believes that anyone can learn to overcome cultural barriers with the right approach. She offers the following suggestions.Be prepared for surprises.One country might contain different cultures—China, for example, is composed of 56 ethnic groups—and within these, people may act in different ways in different contexts and with different groups of people. ①_________②_________While speaking the language is not necessary to understand the culture, it is important to know basic greetings and courtesies (客气话) for social interaction such as “hello” and “thank you”. These everyday phrases and rituals (礼节) are entry points which allow you to access the culture. People will also appreciate that you have made the effort.Learn to “make strange”.In day-to-day life, we tend to take many of our own customs and behaviors for granted without recognizing that these might appear odd from others’ point of view. ③_________ Use a “cultural bridge”.The customs of another culture can be too strange or too foreign to understand. ④_________ “Cultural bridges” are people whose knowledge enriches our own and who can help us understand what’s going on. Having arrived a s a Chinese student, Dr. Zhu has spent over 20 years in Australia but still sometimes seeks a second opinion from her daughter who was brought up here and occasionally calls up old friends for advice in China.Don’t focus on yourself.⑤_________ Instead of giving in to thoughts such as “I’m a stranger in a foreign land” or “Nobody talks to me”, try to forget yourself and focus on others. By taking a more positive approach, you can even find ways to use cultural differences to your advantage.A. Learn the“cultural grammar”.B. Consequently, wait for the unexpected.C. Develop and expand cooperative awareness.D. Sometimes an “insider” can help us to bridge the gap.E. Be open-minded and always try to aim for a win-win situation.F. Being too self-conscious can harm your ability to interact and learn.G. Learn to look at situations with fresh eyes, starting with our own culture.三、完形填空(15空)Julia, a 27-year-old TikTok user from Chicago, has been making dresses that hergrandmother designed at fashion school to share on the platform.According to Julia, her grandma, Georgie, went to fashion school in the 1940s and dreamed of being a fashion designer, but 1 before completing her studies because she needed to 2 some sick family members.One day in 2021, when Julia was visiting her grandma, 3 old sketches (草图) of dresses that Georgie designed when she was a teenager, she thought they were 4 .“I knew my grandma was 5 , but these are really much better than what I was 6 in my head.

Besides the spacewalk, the crew is also expected to perform extra-vehicular work such as fixing and tightening equipment. The spaceship will also release a small inspection satellite, which keeps an eye on its own performance.China may live broadcast the first ever spacewalk. "The Shenzhou VII spaceship is able to live-broadcast the walk, but it has not been decided whether the spacewalk will be broadcast in a live or recorded version," the official told Xinhua.Breakthroughs have been made in significant techniques related to the spacewalk. Research into the development of spaceship and rockets has been going smoothly, and astronauts have undertaken extensive training, according to the official.The Shenzhou VII mission will start the second phase of China's three-stage space program. said the official.In the second stage, China plans further breakthroughs in manned space flight, such as space walks. In this phase, China will put into orbit a space laboratory staffed by humans for short periods and create a fully-equipped space engineering system.In the third stage, China will build a permanent space station and a space engineering system. Astronauts and scientists will travel between the Earth and the space station to conduct large-scale experiments.56. The news mainly tells its readers that _______.A.

Our. country is getting along quite well with developing spaceship and rockets,BAmong the crowd of Olympian gods the most famous one was Apollo. He was the son of Zeus and Letto. According to Greek mythology, Letto was driven by Hera, Zeus' wife, from land to land and at last Poseidon took pity on her and Brought the island of Delos out of water for her to live on. There she gave birth to the twins, Apollo and Artemis.Wearing a purple robe, Apollo usually sat in his bright eastern palace early in the morning and made ready to start his daily journey across the sky. During the day he drove his carriage of gold and ivory(象牙), and brought light, life and love m the great world below. In the afternoon he came to the end of his journey in the far western sea and got on his golden boat to return to his eastern home.Apollo was the god of music and poetry. He could bring about all feelings, which are expressed in his noble songs. With his gold musical instrument and the sweet accents of his godlike voice he led the choir of the muses(音乐女神们) at Olympus. The pleasant music was so exciting that stones marched into their places of their own will in musical time when he helped Poseidon build up the walls of Troy(特洛伊城). On one occasion, invited to a contest by the human musician Marsyas, he won and then flayed(剥……的皮) him to death for his pride. On another occasion, he lost at a musical contest and turned the ears of the judge, King Midas, into those of an ass(驴子).Apollo stood for youthful and manly beauty. His golden hair, stately manner and air all combined to make him the admiration of the world. A beautiful girl, by the name of Clytle, was so fond of his beauty and glory that from dawn to dusk she knelt on the ground, her hands outstretched towards the sun god, and her eyes looked at his golden wheeled carriage racing across the blue sky. Though her love was not returned, she had never changed her mind aboutApollo, The gods were moved at the sad sight, and Changed her into a sunflower.59.

Top 10 world sports news stories in 2007.DThe right to pursue happiness is issued to us all with our birth, but no one seems quite sure what it is.A holy man in India may think that happiness is in himself. It is in needing nothing from outside himself. In wanting nothing, he lacks nothing. We westerners, however, are taught that the more we have from outside ourselves, the happier we will be, and then we are made to want. We are even told it is our duty to want. Advertising, one of our major industries, exists not to satisfy these de, sires but to createthem--and to create them faster than any man's money in his pocket can satisfy them. Here, obviously someone is trying to buy the dream of happiness and spending millions upon millions every year in the attempt. Clearly the happiness-market is not running out of customers.I doubt the holy man's idea of happiness, ,and I doubt the dreams of the happiness-market, too. Whatever happiness may be, I believe, it is neither in having nothing nor in having more, but in changing--in changing the world and mankind into pure states.To change is to make efforts to deal with difficulties. As Yeats, a great Irish poet once put it, happiness we get for a lifetime depends on how high We choose our difficulties. Robert Frost, a great American poet, was thinking in almost the stone terms when he spoke of "the pleasure of taking pains."It is easy to understand. We even demand difficulty for the fun in our games. We demand it because without difficulty there can be no game. And a game is a way of making something hard for the fan of it. The rules of the game are man-made difficulties. When the player ruins the fun, he always does so by refusing to play by the roles. It is easier to win at chess if you are free, at your pleasure, to cast away all the rules, but the fun is in winning within the rules.The same is true to happiness. The buyers and sellers at the happiness-market seem to have lost their sense of the pleasure of difficulty. Heaven knows what they are playing, but it seems a dull game. And the Indian holy man seems dull to us, I suppose, because he seems to be refusing to play anything at all.The western weakness may be in the dreams that happiness can be bought while the eastern weakness may be in the idea that there is such a thing as perfect happiness in man himself. Both of them forget a basic fact: no difficulty, no happiness.67. Who shares the same idea of happiness with the author.?A. The Indian holy man.B. The great Irish poet Yeats.C. Advertisers.D. The buyers and sellers at the happiness-market.68. What does "happiness-market" mean in the second paragraph?A. It means a place in which people can buy brings happily.B. It means a market which lacks happy customers.C. It means a pure state for the world and mankind.D. It means a market where people try to buy happiness with money.69. According to the passage, which of the following is right?A. The Indian holy man is much happier than westerners.B. The westerners understand happiness better than the Indian holy man.C. There is no fun without playing by the rules.D. Both the eastern weakness and western Weakness are for the same reason.70. What does the author do in the fifth paragraph?A. He supports a point of view with an example.B. He argues against a point of view.C. He introduces a point of view.D. He tries to understand a point of view.第二卷(非选择题,共两大题,35分)第五部分任务型阅读(共10小题,每小题1分;满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文,并依照所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填上一个最恰当的单词。

四川省绵阳南山中学2024届高三上学期10月月考英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解settle down with a new book, or use roving libraries to bring books to hard-to-reach populations. No matter how they achieve it, these novel libraries are keeping the magic of reading alive.Bishan Library (Singapore)Built in 2006, this library with skylights and trellises, is meant to invoke a modern glass treehouse. Glass pods of varying colors stick out of the building randomly to create cozy yet airy corners for reading throughout the building. At the same time, a more open-plan children's room on the basement level invites interaction while preventing noise from filtering upward and disturbing those concentrating in the lofty perches above.Stuttgart City Library (Stuttgart, Germany)Opened in 2011, this nine–story public library is characterized by its attractive white color scheme (lit by blue light at night), its bold cubic shape. This cultural center for the city, designed to feel open and full of light, can be entered from any of its four sides, and people can borrow artwork as well as books.The Camel Library Service (North Eastern Province, Kenya)To combat low literacy rates in the desert of Kenya, the government created a roaming library composed of nine camels bringing books to villages. The library travels four days a week serving the region's nomadic people. With more funding, they plan to increase their reach both in distance and the books they carry.Macquarie University Library (Sydney, Australia)A wonderful combination of cutting-edge and sustainable ideas, this building was made from recycled materials, features a green roof, and was designed to look like the shape of a eucalyptus tree. It is also state of the art, using robot cranes to bring requested books to the front desk.1、Which of the following can offer the service of lending artwork?A.Stuttgart City Library.B. Bishan Library.C. The Camel Library Service.D. Macquarie University Library.2、What can we know about the Macquarie University Library?A. It is like a modern glass treehouse with skylights.B. It has a green roof and a eucalyptus tree outside.C. It is intelligent and environmentally-friendly.D. It opens four days a week serving the local people.3、According to the passage, the four libraries are all designed to _____.A. prevent noiseB. encourage readingC. recycle old booksD.present beautiful appearancesWhen the designer and typographer (排印工) Marcin Wichary chanced upon a tiny museum just outside Barcelona five years ago, the experience tipped his interest in the history of technology into an obsession with a very particular part of it: the keyboard.“I have never seen so many typewriters under one roof. Not even close,” he shared on the Internet at the time. “At this point, I literally have tears in my eyes. I’m not kidding. This feels like a miracle.”He’d had a discovery while wandering through the exhibit: Each key on a keyboard has its own stories. And these stories are not just about computing technology, but also about the people who designed, used, or otherwise interacted with the keyboards.Take the backspace key for example, he explains, “I like that the concept of backspace was originally just that — a space going backward. We are used to it erasing now, but for a hundred years, erasing was its own incredibly complex effort. You needed to master a Comet eraser, or Wite-Out, or strange correction tapes, and possibly all of the above… or give up and start f rom scratch whenever you made a small mistake in typing.”The deeper he researched, the more obsessive he became. Amazed that no comprehensive books existed on the history of keyboards, he decided to create his own. When not working at his day job as the design leader for the design software company Figma, he began producing Shift Happens, a two-volume, 1,216-page hardcover book — and raised over $750,000 for the project on Kickstarter in March of 2023. Wichary was only a bit surprised by the support and th e keyboard’s wide appeal. As he points out. “It’s such a crucial device that occupies a lot of our waking life.”4、Which is the closest understanding of the underlined phrase tipped his interest ________.A.made him lose his interestB. weakened his interestC. publicized his interestD. changed his interest5、What did Wichary discover while admiring the keyboards?A.The wisdom of human.B. The stories behind them.C. The secret of the keyboards.D. The history of technology.6、What does Wichary want to tell us about the backspace key in Paragraph 4?A.It is the outcome of long-term improvement.B.It can be used to move back one space.C.It is a rather simple but powerful key.D.It permits people to make mistakes when typing.7、Why did Wichary write his own book?A. To make money.B. To record history.C. To fill a gap.D. To become a celebrity.Cultivated meat, also known as lab-grown meat, has been cleared for sale in the US.Actually,Lab-grown meat is made by feeding a mix of nutrients to animal cells in steel tanks in labs. The idea is to create an alternative to agriculturally raised meat. And unlike other meat substitutes which are made from plant proteins and other ingredients, lab-grown meat is real meat.Upside Foods and Good Meat, two companie s that make “cultivated chicken”, said that they have gotten approval from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to start producing their cell-based proteins. Good Meat said that production is starting immediately. Cultivated meat is grown in a giant vat (缸), much like what you’d find at a beer factory.Last week both companies revealed that the USDA approved labels for their products. In March, Good Meat received a “no questions” letter from the FDA, confirming the product’s safety for sale in the US. Upside Foods also received one in November. Both the USDA and the FDA are overseeing the growing cultivated meat market. CEO of Good Meat, Josh Tetrick, described the approval as a major milestone for the company, the industry, and the food system. Upside founder Uma Valeti called the approval “a giant step forward towards a more sustainable future”.Good Meat, which has been selling its products in Singapore, advertises its product as “meat without slaughter (屠宰)”, a more humane approach to eating meat. Supporters hope that cultivated meat will help fight climate change by reducing the need for traditional animal agriculture, which emits greenhouse gases. The company previously announced a partnership with chef José Andrés to introduce the product to a Washington DC restaurant, although the launch time remains uncertain. As production increases, Good Meat may explore cooperation with other restaurants or supermarkets.Upside is planning to introduce its product at Bar Crenn, a San Francisco restaurant, but did not share a launch date yet. Selling at Bar Crenn should help Upside learn more about how chefs and diners feel about the product. Eventually, the company plans to work with other restaurants and make its products available in supermarkets. For now, it is holding a contest to allow curious customers to be among the first to try the product.8、What do Upside Foods and Good Meat have in common?A.Both have partnerships with international chefs.B.Both are involved in producing lab-grown meat.C.Both declared a launch date of their cultivated meat.D.Both received FDA approval for worldwide distribution.9、What is the potential benefit of cultivated meat?A.Higher safety for eating.B.Lower costs for restaurants.C.Improvements in traditional animal agriculture.D.Positive impacts on climate change.10、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Diners have access to free products from Upside.B.Curious customers will become the main force of buying.C.Upside will evaluate the responses of chefs and diners to its product.D.Upside will conduct a survey among diners about their paying ability.11、What is the text mainly about?A.The benefits of cultivated meat.B.The research on cultivated meat.C.The history and processing of cultivated meat.D.The approval and prospect of cultivated meat.Consider the possibility that all human technology started with a mistake — or at least a lack of hand-eye coordination. In a new study published on Friday in Science Advances, Lydia Luncz and Tomos Proffitt, both at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, argue that mistakenly created flakes (薄片) may have been our ancient ancestors’or other now-extinct early human relatives “first step toward creating the sharp-edged tools that they used to butcher animals and cut edible plants.To do their research, Luncz and Proffitt traveled to an abandoned oil palm plantation near Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay and collected more than 1, 100 pieces of nut-cracking stonesused by a troop of long-tailed macaques (猕猴). Macaques crack open oil palm nuts by placing them on a flat stone and striking their shell with another stone. These monkeys often miss the nut and accidentally break the stones, producing sharp flakes. Luncz and Proffitt analyzed these stones, which revealed a surprising fact: The flakes that the macaques unintentionally produced looked a lot like the oldest stone tools that were intentionally made by hominins (古人类).Macaques don’t use the sharp flakes they create for anything, Luncz ad ds, noting that the monkeys have sharp teeth and don’t need cutting tools. The similar ancient stone tools collected from some of the earliest known sites, however, show evidence of being used for cutting tasks. For example, in Oldowan, a site dating between 3.3 million and 1.5 million years ago, researchers analyzed use-wear patterns on the tools and found that some of the flakes showed damage along their edges, indicating that they had been used for cutting. Cut marks on some fossils revealed that hominins had used stone tools for butchering the animals, making it clear that the sharp stone tools were anything but unintentional by-products of other pounding activities.Despite the findings, to reveal the mechanism for the emergence of flake technology, researchers still need to learn how hominins made the leap from accidentally producing sharp flakes to picking them up and using them. Luncz and Proffitt hope to find the missing link in further studies.12、What can we learn from paragraph 2?A.The flakes pro duced by macaques were similar to hominins’ stone tools.B.Long-tailed macaques used the flakes to crack open oil palm nuts.C.Macaques deliberately produced flakes for cutting by breaking stones.D.The two researchers went to Thailand and collected 1, 100 flakes.13、Why does the author mention the Oldowan site in paragraph 3?A. To clarify a complex concept.B. To provide specific proof.C.To present an interesting fact.D. To make a detailed comparison.14、What will Luncz and Proffitt probably focus on in their future study?A. Why macaques create flakes.B. Why hominins used stone tools.C. How hominins began using flakes.D. How macaques cut food with flakes.15、What is the best title of the passage?A.Flake technology: from macaques to hominins.B.A mistake: the origin of human technology.C.Pounding activities: on human evolutionary course.D.A missing link: long-tailed macaques create flakes.delay sleep in response to stress or a lack of free time earlier in the day.

湖南省长沙市长郡中学2024-2025学年高三上学期月考试卷(一)英语试卷

湖南省长沙市长郡中学2024-2025学年高三上学期月考试卷(一)英语试卷一、阅读理解As Pakistan and China are marking 2023 as a Year of Tourism, Pakistan’s breathtaking natural beauty, diverse cultural heritage and historical landmarks are all set to catch the attentionof tourists.Balochistan: Nature’s Bounty UnveiledStretching across vast expanses, Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest province, boasting not only abundant mineral resources but unique natural beauty. Its mountain ranges, mines and extensive coastal belt, which is home to the prosperous Gwadar Port, attract adventurers.Punjab: A Tapestry of History and HeritageIn the heart of Pakistan lies Punjab province, a land of green agricultural fields, intricate (交错的) river networks, ancient forts and charming Mughal-era gardens. Over two millennia (千年) ago, the Gandhara Buddhist civilization thrived in northern Pakistan, with Taxil a serving as its primary center of learning.Sindh: A Tapestry of History and CultureSindh, in Pakistan’s southern region, weaves together a tale of history and natural beauty. Itis home to the ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro, a relic of the Indus Valley Civilization, along with the modern city of Karachi and its picturesque coastline.Northern Pakistan: Nature’s MasterpieceSpread over 72,496 square kilometers, Pakistan’s northern regions are a masterpiece of nature. Among towering peaks, including numerous summits over 8,000 meters, peaceful valleys like Gilgit, Hunza and Skardu offer a brief escape.As Pakistan invites the world to explore its diverse and fascinating landscapes, it also extends a warm invitation to discovery the history, spirituality and natural wonders that define this remarkable nation.1.As a Buddhist, your favorite destination in Pakistan might be __________.A.Balochistan B.Punjab C.Sindh D.Gilgit2.What do the four parts have in common?A.Natural beauty.B.Historical origin.C.Cultural relics.D.Diverse resources.3.The passage serves as a(n) __________.A.guidance B.introduction C.commercial D.noticeThere comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. After listening to different voices, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water. In 1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescue d 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project. When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.4.What was the major concern regarding the construction of the new dam?A.The damage to local farms.B.The high cost of the construction.C.The disapproval of local communities.D.The potential harm to cultural remains.5.How were the cultural sites rescued?A.By rebuilding similar cultural sites.B.By building fences around them.C.By taking them down into pieces.D.By removing and piecing them together again.6.Which of the following best describes the Aswan Dam project?A.International cooperation is not necessary for large-scale projects.B.It is possible to achieve progress without sacrificing cultural heritage.C.The opinions of experts should be ignored in favor of popular opinion.D.Countries should always prioritize their own interests over global concerns.7.What is the key to the success of the Aswan Dam project?A.Trial and error.B.Adequate investment.C.Global cooperation.D.Careful investigation.Since the last ice age, humans have cleared nearly half of the earth’s forests and grasslands for agriculture. With the world population expanding, there’s ever-increasing pressure on farmland to produce not only more food but also clean energy. In places such as Yakima County, Washington, it’s created competition for space as land-hungry solar panels (板) consume available fields. Last month, the state approved plans to cover 1,700 acres of agricultural land with solar panels, fueling concerns over the long-term impacts of losing cropland.A recent study from the University of California, however, shows how farmers may soon harvest crops and energy together. One researcher, Majdi Abou Najm, explains that visible light spectrum (光谱) can be separated into blue and red light waves, and their photons (光子) have different properties. Blue ones have higher energy than red ones. While that gives blue light what is needed to generate power, it also results in higher temperatures. “From a plant angle, redphotons are the efficient ones,” says Abou Najm. “They don’t make the plant feel hot.”A goal of the study is to create a new generation of solar panels. He sees potential in the organic solar cells, which come from carbon-based materials. Thin and transparent, the cells are applied like a film onto various surfaces. This new technology could be used to develop special solar panels that block blue light to generate power, while passing the red light on to crops planted directly below. These panels could also provide shade for heat-sensitive fruits during the hottest part of the day.By 2050, we’ll have two billion more people, and we’ll need more food and more energy. By maximizing the solar spectrum, “we’re making full use of an endlessly sustainable resource,” says Abou Najm. “If a technology kicks in that can develop these panels, then the sky is the limit on how efficient we can be.”8.What problem does the first paragraph focus on?A.Losing cropland to solar panels.B.Distribution of the world population.C.Reduction in forests and grasslands.D.Competing for land between farmers.9.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Generation of solar power.B.Hot weather increasing efficiency.C.Blue photons having higher energy.D.Separation of visible light spectrum.10.What do we know about the organic solar cells?A.They make fruits heat-sensitive.B.They can cool down in hot days,C.They allow red light to pass through.D.They can store carbon-based materials.11.What does Abou Najm think of the future of the new solar panels?A.Limited.B.Promising.C.Uncertain.D.Challenging.While Industry 5.0 is believed to have started in 2020, the rise of AI in recent years has led experts to say it is now coming. Imagine AI-powered robots that see, hear, touch and more, pooling fresh data from across those groups of sensors to create that data with the vast ranges of digital data stored elsewhere online. The age is a major leap from the First Industrial Revolution, when steam engine started to achieve widespread commercial use.Professor John Nosta says, “The integration of sensory capabilities into AI models is not merely a technological leap. It represents a shift in our philosophical understanding of artificial and human intelligence.”He has also referred to the new era as “the Cognitive (认知) Age,” which will completely change how humans live, work, and think about themselves. According to Nosta, humans don’t typically think of computers as “experiencing” the world themselves. But that assumption will be challenged as more advanced AI systems are hooked up to ever more and ever greater sensors. The machines won’t just be logic boxes that humans input data and commands for processing. The AI will collect that data more and more on its own, experiencing the world for itself.“This is not just about understanding words, but also about grasping the tone, pitch (音高), and emphasis, which add layers of meaning often absent in written text. Image recognition adds another layer of complexity,” he added. “For example, it can analyze photographs, identify objects, and even understand the emotional content of facial expressions.”The Johannesburg-based business school is just one of many college-level programs attempting to investigate and teach its students about the still-emerging IR 5.0. Seton Hall in New Jersey offers a three-credit course on this latest age in human technology and trade; MIT has brought in guest speakers to lecture on the concept, and many other research institutions are following suit.12.Where does IR 5.0 differ from previous industrial revolution?A.It processes data and commands.B.It interacts with humans through texts.C.It enhances human sensory capabilities.D.It employs more senses in its application. 13.Why is IR 5. 0 called the Cognitive age?A.AI collects and interprets data itself.B.AI turns written texts into voice.C.AI understands written language well.D.AI has an ability of expressing emotions 14.How do some colleges address IR 5.0?A.By offering related courses.B.By expecting more industrial revolution.C.By applying AI to the technological trade.D.By preparing for the rapid economic changes.15.What is the best title for the text?A.Al Is Approaching Us Gradually B.A New IR Is About Machine LearningC.AI Has Developed Its Own Senses D.We Are Entering IR 5.0 NowPursue Y our Dreams Today, Not TomorrowHave you caught yourself daydreaming about your dreams? We often postpone our dreams, trapped in a cycle of delay. But why wait? 16 You don’t have to take a huge, life-changing step. You can take minute steps toward a brighter future. And start right now.17 If you never try, you’re going to be weighed down by your regrets. You’re always going to wonder how your life would’ve turned out if you actually took a chance on yourself. Don’t let your future self be disappointed by your present self.It doesn’t matter how old you are or how many people have warned you that you’re never going to succeed. Even the most successful people have had their hesitations about whether they had what it took to make it in their field. 18 Embrace a mindset of determination, knowing that success is within your reach.At the end of the day, you need to carve out a path for yourself that will lead to the most satisfaction. If you allow your fear to get the best of you, you’re never going to forgive yourself.19 . It’s what you would encourage your friends to do, so why aren’t you giving yourself that same push?Sometimes, following your passion means spending a lot of your time each day. It may require making slight adjustments to your schedule, but you don’t have to sacrifice everything to follow your hearts. Try to strike a balance between your current life and your dreams. 20 Pursue your dreams now, even though that means you might need to break out of your comfort zone, and even though it means entering the unknown.A.Ask yourself what would be worse.B.Starting small is completely acceptable.C.You owe it to yourself to go after your dreams.D.New opportunities may lead to personal growth.E.If things go well, you can gradually make further shifts.F.You need to move past your insecurities and explore your full potential.G.Hard as it is, it’s crucial to wave off the doubts in the back of your mind.二、完形填空As a first-generation Asian immigrant(移民)who had grown up in poverty, I knew I was beyond 21 to be admitted into Harvard.

山西省忻州市2024-2025学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题

山西省忻州市2024-2025学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解La Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August each year in the town of Bunol close to Valencia in Spain. It is claimed to be the biggest food fight in the world.What Happens at La TomatinaAt around 11 am, many trucks carry more than one hundred tons of over- ripe tomatoes into the centre of the town, Plaza del Pueblo. Technically the festival does not begin until one brave soul has climbed to the top of a two-story-high wooden pole and reached the ham at the top. In practice this process takes a long time and the festival starts despite no one reaching the prize. The signal for the beginning of the fight is the firing of a water gun. After one hour the fighting ends and the cleaning process begins.The Rules of La TomatinaDo not bring bottles or hard objects as they can cause accidents and hurt other participants;Do not tear other people’s T-shirts;You must squeeze (捏碎) the tomatoes before throwing them;As soon as you hear the second shot of the water gun, you must stop throwing tomatoes.Useful AdviceWear old shoes and clothes that you do not mind throwing away afterwards. They will most likely end up damaged or incredibly dirty;Don’t wear slippers. You may get hurt, or you could lose them easily during the battle;If you are not from Bunol, and you want to stay overnight, don’t forget to look for and secure accommodation in advance.Stay safe and enjoy the festivities as much as possible!1.What can we learn about La Tomatina?A.It is an annual event.B.It takes place in Valencia.C.It lasts for a whole day.D.It hands out hams as prizes.2.Which of the following signals the beginning of the fight in practice?A.The arrival of the tomatoes.B.The takedown of the ham.C.The firing of a water gun.D.The set up of the wooden pole.3.What should participants avoid doing during the fight?A.Touching each other.B.Taking soft objects with them.C.Wearing shoes and T- shirts.D.Throwing unsqueezed tomatoes.This is my fourth mission to space, my second to the International Space Station (ISS), and I’ve been here for three weeks now. I’m getting better at knowing where I am when I first wake up.My bedroom is just big enough for me and my sleeping bag, two laptops, some clothes, photos of my wife and daughters, a few books. Getting dressed is a little bit difficult when I can’t “sit” or “stand”, but I’ve gotten used to it. The most challenging thing is putting on my socks. It’s not a challenge to figure out what to wear, since I wear the same thing every day. However, without gravity to help me bend over, it is very difficult to pull my legs up to my chest.At present, we have three Americans living at the station: Samantha, Terry and me. Samantha is one of the few women to have served as a fighter pilot in the Italian Air Force, and she is competent in everything technical. She is also friendly and quick to laugh. She is especially gifted for language. She has native-level fluency in English and Russian (the two official languages of the ISS) as well as French, German, and her native Italian. She is also working on learning Chinese.For some people who hope to fly in space, language can be a challenge. We all have to be able to speak a second language (I’ve been studying Russian for years), but the European and Japanese astronauts have the added burden of learning two languages if they don’t already speak English or Russian.Terry was a test pilot before joining NASA.He has all the positive qualities of a leader — optimism, enthusiasm, friendliness — and none of the negative ones. I’ve found him to be consistently competent, and I appreciate that as a leader he is a consensus builder rather than a bossy commander. Since I’ve been up here, he has always been respectful of my previous experience, always open to suggestions about how to do things better rather than getting defensive or competitive.4.Why does the author find it challenging to put on his socks at the ISS?A.He has too many choices.B.It is uneasy to pull his legs up.C.The bedroom is too small.D.He can’t find a chair to sit on. 5.Samantha has left the deepest impression on the author probably because of her _______.A.good humor B.technical skillsC.language talent D.loud laughing6.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A.Speaking English or Russian is a must for the ISS astronauts.B.All the ISS astronauts have to be able to speak three languages.C.European and Japanese astronauts are not good at communication.D.There are language workshops on the International Space Station.7.Which of the following can best describe Terry?A.He is competitive and defensive.B.He is a perfect leader.C.He is the most experienced man at the ISS.D.He is just a little bit bossy.On September 9, 2024, Apple released its latest iPhone 16 series at an event called “It’s Glowtime”. At the event, Tim Cook, the company’s CEO, played up the promise of the phones’ AI features in a pre-recorded video.Indeed, the demonstration seemed impressive. When Cook pointed the camera at a restaurant, the AI assistant Siri could tell him what was on the menu. It also could answer his questions fairly well and learn about the users from their interactions with their devices. For instance, Siri could know if a user’s mother was calling and acted appropriately.Apple is one of many firms that want to take AI beyond huge data centres, known as the cloud, and run it on smaller devices, known as the edge. Samsung, Apple’s major competitor, launched its Galaxy S24 with some AI features earlier this year. So did Microsoft, which has launched Windows PCs designed for AI. But their efforts have shown that it is not easy to shift cloud-based AI models to the edge devices.At present, cloud-based AI models are mostly trained on graphics processing units (GPUs) that consume so much energy that it can take a nuclear-power plant to fuel them. They also need huge amounts of memory and data. All these can cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Even once they are trained, running these AI models is costly. According to one estimate, it costs OpenAI, themaker of ChatGPT, 36 cents every time someone asks its AI model a question.Companies are experimenting with various solutions to these problems. Apple will offer on-device AI to deal with the easiest tasks, but send trickier problems to the firm’s private cloud. The service will direct the most difficult requests to third-party models such as ChatGPT. But even such smaller on-device AI models require a lot of computing power to run, which puts huge stress on the edge devices’ batteries.“Making the technology work could not only start a supercycle in device sales, but also create new opportunities for apps and digital advertising,” says Neil Shah of Counterpoint, a research firm. “But for the moment, edge devices are barely ready for basic functions, let alone Glowtime.”8.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.The Glowtime event.B.iPhone 16’s AI features.C.Tim Cook’s performance.D.The future of AI phones.9.Why are Samsung and Microsoft mentioned in the text?A.To tell readers how bad competition can be.B.To warn Apple of the potential consequences.C.To compare their newly released edge devices.D.To show how hard it is to apply AI to edge devices.10.What is the problem with cloud-based AI models?A.OpenAI charges too much money.B.All of them have to be trained on GPUs.C.It is too expensive to train and run them.D.They can only deal with the easiest tasks.11.What does Neil Shah most probably imply?A.iPhone 16 is bound to disappoint its users.B.AI phones’ success will depend on new apps.C.Sales of AI phones will increase greatly soon.D.Tim Cook was not honest with the AI features.The Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that you can’t step into the same river twice, foryou aren’t the same person at each visit, and the water is ever flowing. It is a powerful way to represent the reality that everything is always changing.Yet so many of us have difficulty adapting to change. We deny it, resist it or attempt to control it, the result of which is almost always some combination of stress, anxiety and burnout.It doesn’t have to be that way. No doubt, change can, and often does, hurt. But with the right mind- set, it can also be a force for growth. It’s not as if we have any choice in the matter. Like it or not, life is change. We’d be wise to shift our position from useless resistance to being in conversation with change instead.A concept called allostasis can help. Developed in the late 1980s by Peter Sterling and Joseph Eyer, allostasis is defined as “stability through change”. In other words, the way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing, at least to some extent.From neuroscience to pain science and psychology, allostasis has become the standard model for understanding change in the scientific community. The brain is at its best when it is constantly making new connections. Overcoming pain, be it physical or psychological, is not about resistance (which often worsens the experience) or trying to get back to where you were before a distressing event or situation. It’s about balancing acceptance with problem-solving and moving forward to a new normal.Yet this concept is still little known to ordinary people and it is time to start practicing it now. Over the past few years, the river of change has been flowing mercilessly, and it shows no signs of letting up. Hardly a decade after the widespread adoption of social media, a new technology that may be far more powerful, artificial intelligence, is being widely used.It’s like what our friend Heraclitus advised: Take part in change by focusing on what we can control and trying to let go of what we can’t. Our ability to work with these changes is directly related to our life satisfaction.12.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A.We could have a right mind- set.B.Philosophy exists everywhere.C.Some people are wiser than others.D.Change is unavoidable in life.13.How should we deal with changes according to the author?A.Ignore them.B.Participate in them.C.Fight against them.D.Put them under control.14.What does the underlined phrase “letting up” in paragraph 6 probably mean?A.Slowing down.B.Setting off.C.Marching on.D.Pulling in. 15.What is the best title for the text?A.Why Can’t We Adapt to Changes in Life?B.How Can We Increase Our Life Satisfaction?C.Let’s Transform Our Relationship With ChangeD.Try to Help the Public to Understand AllostasisHere’s the bad news: misunderstanding about masculinity(男子汉气概)is hurting males and making it hard for them to maintain friendships. 16 . They listen to each other. They read each other’s emotions. However, they tend to hide their true feelings in their late teenage because society expects them to be tough. 17 .Don’t blame yourself. You are a product of a society that expects very particular things of masculinity. So stop blaming yourself. 18 . If you accept your own desire for close relationship in your life, you will find the friendship.Get involved at tough moments. Boys sometimes are worried whether they might appear too curious about their friends’ private matters. 19 . But if you get involved at such moments, you will open the door to all kinds of growth in your relationship. So take the opportunity to show them that they matter by following up.20 . Researchers say that the No.1 thing that helps children(especially boys)grow up to have enriching friendships is to be close with adult relatives who are not afraid to express their emotions. So, if you have expressive grownup relatives, try to be close to them. They can serve as role models for you to show your true feelings in a better way.A.Look at masculinity criticallyB.So here is what they should doC.Get close to expressive adults in your lifeD.You need to face something really disturbingE.Instead, focus on undoing hurtful and restricting belief systemsF.It is especially true when their friends are sharing something toughG.The good news is that boys are born caring and loving, just as girls do二、完形填空Children are not often invited to address the United Nations General Assembly (联合国大会). But there stood Felix Finkbeiner, with a(n) 21 question about climate change.“We children know that adults are 22 the climate challenges and that they have the solutions,” he said. “But we don’t understand why there is so little 23 .”Before his speech, Finkbeiner had been 24 a remarkable environmental campaign for four years and it has since 25 into a global network of children working to 26 the earth’s warming by reforesting the planet. Most of them are between the ages 9 and 12.The reforesting effort could be traced to a fourth grade school 27 in Finkbeiner’s hometown. The topic was climate change.In his report, Finkbeiner 28 to plant one million trees in Germany. Finkbeiner’s teacher was deeply impressed with the idea and asked him to 29 his report to other students and the headmaster.Of course, no one 30 anything to come out of it. But two months later, he planted his first tree, an unimpressive apple tree, near the entrance to his school. His campaign was a 31 and had a dramatic close. By the time he delivered his 32 at the UN in New York in 2011, at the age of 13, Germany had planted its millionth tree.“If I had known then how much international media coverage that apple tree would 33 ,” he says now, a little 34 , “I would have insisted my mother buy a more 35 one.”21.A.easy B.political C.serious D.awkward 22.A.aware of B.addicted to C.afraid of D.curious about 23.A.profit B.action C.water D.luck 24.A.avoiding B.planning C.advertising D.leading 25.A.expanded B.broken C.run D.looked 26.A.record B.know C.slow D.measure 27.A.play B.assignment C.accident D.object 28.A.declined B.pretended C.started D.promised29.A.mail B.donate C.present D.sell 30.A.wanted B.expected C.asked D.needed 31.A.disaster B.joke C.show D.hit 32.A.speech B.tree C.evidence D.package 33.A.receive B.miss C.know D.grow 34.A.forgetfully B.unwillingly C.apologetically D.regretfully 35.A.typical B.impressive C.genuine D.important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。

Sometimes you get the interview, but don’t quite seem to land the job b ecause you don’t have related experience. Don’t despair! Here are a few tips that might give you an edge.1. Get connected to your network and try to expand it. Talk to friends, family and acquaintances. Let everyone know you are looking for a job.2. Prepare your resume (个人简历) carefully and be sure it’s perfect. Have someone else read it over for typos (打字错误) and grammatical errors. Get professional help. It’s worth the money to present yourself well. If money is tight, read books on resume writing from your public library or search for free help on the Internet.3. When you apply for a job, be sure you match and list any skills listed on the posting with the skills you have. If you get an interview, be sure to describe those skills thoroughly. Just having the skills is not enough. Expressing your abilities well can make all the difference in getting the job.4. Research typical interview questions and practice interviewing. Be well prepared for every interview.5. Don’t be afraid to accept a position for w hich you are overqualified—if there’s room for advancements. Many great job advancements come from first doing well at an entry level position. If you have the right skills and attitude, it won’t b e long before you’re in the job you want.6. V olunteer for a few weeks in your field of study to gain experience if you feel your resume needs an improvement.7. When deciding what to wear for an interview, think about the position level and the dress code of the organization.8. Use every tool available to you. For example, this site has many job links for your use.Good luck!56. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for the failing to find a job?A. The global financial crisis.B.

If you lack related experience you can .A. make up some in your resumeB. read books to get second-handed oneC. do some related voluntary workD. get some training at schools59. The purpose of the text is to .A. show how to prepare for an interviewB. wish people good luckC. encourage people not to despairD. give advice on how to find a jobBA child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar that I do no t know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girlfriend.No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.60. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is .A. repeated without any changeB. treated as a jokeC. made some changes by the parentD. set in the present61. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is .A. in a realistic settingB. heard for the first timeC. repeated too oftenD. told in a different way62. The advantage claimed for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it .A. makes them less fearfulB. develops their power of memoryC. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid ofD. encourages them not to have strange beliefs63. The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that .A. fairy stories a re still being made upB. there is some misunderstanding about fairy talesC. people try to modernize old fairy storiesD. there is more concern for children’s fears nowadaysCThe number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.64. What would be the BEST title for this passage?A. The Difficulties of Learning EnglishB. International CommunicationsC. The Standard Varieties of EnglishD. English as a World Language65. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.B. There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.C. It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.D. People learn English for a variety of reasons.66. According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?A. It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.B. It is used in former British colonies.C. It serves the needs of its native speakers.D. It is a world language that is used for international communication.67. What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English?A. Those geographically close to the United States.B. Those interested in the culture of the United States.C. Former colonies of Great Britain.D. Countries where international conferences are held.DWhy should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask. But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history. Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history.The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. I am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. However, as the unfortunately true statement goes "the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we don't seem to learn from history." Perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a small part in changing this.A second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context. We can not even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less (更不必说) try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be.I teach my children history, for one more reason. I purchased a set of historical audio (录音机) tapes for our children. My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over. It was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish things by himself. I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. if, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplished. I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for.68. What message can we get from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 ?A. Many people aren't clever enough to learn well from the past.B. Many people fail to make good use of history and make the same mistakes.C. Many people feel it hard to understand history.D. Many people have no interest in studying history.69 What would be talked about in the following paragraph?A. How to teach history effectively.B. Some negative reasons for studying history.C. How to get more people to study history.D. Some bad historical figures.70. The main purpose of this passage is to ____________.A. inspire the parents to teach their children historyB. show the importance of history in politicsC. explain the reasons why children study historyD. introduce the writer' s own way of teaching history第二节(共5 小题,每小题2分,满分10 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,选项中有两项为多余选项Making Peace with Your ParentsAs a teen,you're going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding. __71__Here is the challenge:Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.For instance,try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted or hungry. A good time to talk is when you're all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation—for now. __72__ Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you're listening. __73__Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others' feelings can disagree without things getting ugly._74__ How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you're going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers—they're interesting people who like to watch movies and go shopping—just like their teenagers!What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky? __75__ You can find supportive adults,such as a teacher or a coach,who can lend an ear.Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.A. It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you're not on the same page.B. You can pick it up again when everyone's more relaxed.C. And then you'll be able to accept what your parents say.D. Faced with the challenge, children don't know what to do.E. You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.F. And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.G.
