You get a selfie．There is no doubt that this photo is yours．But if a monkey takes a selfie，does the camera owner have the right to decide how to use it？Recently，this question has caused a problem between Wikimedia Foundation，a non-profit organization，and British wildlife photographer David J．Slater．In 2011，Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia when a macaque （猕猴）got hold of one of his cameras．"They were quite naughty，jumping all over my equipment，" Slater told The Telegraph，"and it looked like they were already posing for the camera when one hit the button．" The result was hundreds of monkey selfies．The best of images was a female macaque grinning toothily into the lens．This week，the grinning monkey selfie returned to the news when Wikimedia refused Slater's request to take the photos down from Wikimedia Commons，a website that is run by the organization and offers free images．According to Wikimedia，anyone who downloads the monkey selfie，or any of the millions of images on the site，can copy and use any works here freely as long as they follow what the author says．The question that arose here was whether Slater，who had not held the camera，set up the shot，of pressed the shutter （快门），could be considered the photographer of the monkey selfie．Wikimedia's position on this was clear：as the work of a non-human animal，this photo has no human author who owns the copyright．Only authors of creative works，like a piece of writing or a song，own copyrights．In terms of photos，US copyright law says whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the image produced，which means that if tourists ask you to take a photo of them，and you happen to hit the shutter button at the exact moment that Justin Bieber，a Canadian singer，made faces behind them，you，as the photographer，would have the photo's copyright and sell it．The tourists，who own the camera on which the photo was taken and asked you to take the photo don't get the right to use it without you allowing them to．All this has been complicated by the appearance of surveillance cameras （监控摄像头），smart phones，and large scale photography projects （批量摄影项目）for which assistants often press the shutter button to produce works whose copyrights belong to their boss．Slater seems to be thinking along these lines．He says that buying the cameras，spending thousands of pounds to transport himself to Indonesia，and allowing the monkeys to "steal" his cameras make him the author of the image，regardless of who pushed the button．"In law，if I have an assistant then I still own the copyright，he told the "Today" Show．"I believe in this case，the monkey was my assistant．"But if one is to believe his own telling of the monkey stealing his camera，Slater didn't ask the monkeys to take the selfies and finally took the camera away．If that seems unfair，think about this．If a person left her laptop in a cafe，and a poet picked it up，opened up a word-processing program，and typed out a poem which turned out to be the best poem of this generation，could she ask for much more than her laptop back？14.The monkey selfie，taken in 2011，returned to the spotlight because ______ ．A. Slater allowed people to download the photo for freeB. Slater allowed Wikimedia Commons to download the photo free of chargeC. Wikimedia Commons refused to pay Slater any money for the photo on the websiteD. Wikimedia Commons refused to take the photo down from the website despite Slater'srequest15.According to US copyright law，who might Wikimedia think owned the copyright ofmonkey photo？______A. Slater．B. Wikimedia．C. The monkey．D. No one．16.The author mentioned Justin Bieber and some special cases to show that ______ ．A. whoever pressed the button would have the photo's copyright in any casesB. only the famous singer would have the copyright to have the image producedC. only the owner of the camera would have the copyright of the photo even if he didn'ttake itD. whoever pushed the button would have the copyright but in some special cases thingswere different17.From the last paragraph we know that the author ______ ．A. supports WikimediaB. doesn't show his attitude at allC. shows great sympathy to SlaterD. agrees with neither Wikimedia nor SlaterBAdvertising is first journey marketing．Your only goal in advertising is to show enough gold to get people to want to be a prospect （期望）．Forget about selling them anything．Then how do you show them the gold？Keys to effective advertising are as follows．Talk to one person，and call his / her name．On a crowded Manhattan street，elbow-to-elbow with a sea of people，I still heard someone speak in a conversational voice - "Mark．" I turned my head around．Of course he was talking to someone else，but it still caught my attention．You need to speak to one person，and call his / her name．In marketing，the next best thing to a personal name is your Who and What．For example，"Golfers" = who "have knee pain affecting their swing？" = what．Educate them in a helpful way．If you have room，take the time to explain one point that will help them with the problem they are facing．For smaller ads you can just point them towards a web page where you want to educate them about something helpful．For instance，"Most pain is actually caused by stress．Stopping the stress means decreasing or stopping the pain．Right now，just notice your knee pain．See if you can notice where your legs and hips feel tense，and breathe into the tension．As it relaxes，see how the pain feels．" If you have more space，you can go into more details．Offer a trade：their contact information for something valuable．"Of course，your knee pain isn't gone completely．This is just a clue．If you'd like a free article with illustrations on how to decrease knee pain and help your swing，just leave your contact information and you will be given an additional golf swing tip every week．" You can just follow this example．Finally，don't ignore design．Keep it simple．In a loud，overcrowded world，simplicity and straightforwardness have the best chance of being noticed．Use plenty of white space，easy-to-read front （字体），and avoid complicated patterns．Besides，you can try Robin Williams （not THAT Robin Williams）book，TheNon-Designer's Design Book，Maybe you can learn something from it．Have fun with your advertising!18.Which of the following is a tip for advertising successfully？______A. Call one's name whenever meeting with someone．B. Keep in mind that advertising is first journey marketing．C. Pay attention to design and keep it complicated if possible．D. Educate your potential customers about something helpful．19.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the passage？______A. The golfer's knee was hurt and he can't play golf any more．B. The golfer can't swing because of the knee pain and he needs treatment．C. The golfer's knee pain was caused by stress and we should help him stop the stress．D. The golfer can't play golf any more and we'll speak to him and offer him some tips．CFantasy literature is fantasy in written form．Historically speaking，the majority of fantasy works have been literature．Since the 1950s however，a growing part of the fantasy genre （流派）has taken the form of video games，music，painting，and the like．It is difficult to define the precise "beginning" of fantasy literature，as stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since time immemorial．On the whole，the genre，as a distinct type，began to become visible in the Victorian times，in the works of writers such as William Morris，Lord Dunsany and George Macdonald．Some commentators declared that the South African-born，English professor of philology，J．R．R．Tolkien，was influential to the mass-popularization of the fantasy genre，with his hugely successful publications - The Hobbit，and The Lord of the Rings．Tolkien himself，though，was largely informed by an ancient body of Anglo-Saxon myths - particularly Beowulf - but it was after his work that the genre began to receive the name，"fantasy"．J．R．R．Tolkien's close friend C．S．Lewis，author of the The Chronicles of Narnia，also an English professor interested in similar themes，was also connected with popularizing the commercial success of the fantasy genre．Outstanding authors in the genre who undertook popular fantasy works after Tolkien's The Lord of The Rings phenomenon of the 1950s and 1960s appeared quickly．In recent years，the rate of female-to-male authors in a typically-stocked bookstore has skyrocketed，with female authors surpassing the volume of the male ones．Fantasy has been famous from other forms of literature by its style．The fantasy world requires，like any genre，appropriate language，arid that language can vary．In various forms of fairytale fantasy，even the villain's （坏人）language would be inappropriate if vulgar （粗俗的）．Famous fantasy author Raymond E．Feist considered his genre to be one where "ordinary people" were placed in extraordinary situations，and writing about what would happen．20.How many fantasy writers are mentioned in this passage？______A. Five．B. Six．C. Seven．D. Eight．21.The underlined word "skyrocketed" in the third paragraph means ______ ．A. rise rapidly and suddenlyB. drop rapidly and suddenlyC. rise slowly and steadilyD. drop slowly and steadily22.This passage is mainly about ______ ．A. the background of fantasy literatureB. some famous works about fantasy literatureC. the origin and its popularity of fantasy literatureD. some outstanding authors of fantasy literature三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共20.0分）Usually it is the children，not the parents，who are unwilling to spend their evenings practicing spelling and learning times tables．But a Canadian couple have just won a legal (23) to free their children from homework after successfully arguing that there is no clear (24)that it improves academic performance．Shelli and Tom Milley，two lawyers from Calgary，Alberta，(25)their highly unusual case after years of(26) to make their three children do school work out of the classroom．After a long war with their eldest son，Jay，now 18，over his homework，they decided to do things (27) with their youngest two，Spencer，11，and Brittany，10．And being lawyers，they decided to make it (28)．It took two years to(29) the Milleys' Differentiate Homework Plan，which ensures their youngest two children will never have to do homework again at their (30)school．Thetwo-page plan，(31)by the children，parents and teachers，stipulates （约定）that "homework will not be used as a form of (32) for the children"．(33)，the pupils promise to get their work done in class，to come to school (34)，and to revise for tests．They must also read daily and practice their musical instruments at home．"It was a (35) homework battle every night，" Shelli told Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper．"It's hard to get a weeping child to(36)math problems．They are tired．They shouldn't be working a second (37)．" She then wondered，"Why did we let our family (38)through that stress？If we don't want it all，we shouldn't have to (39)it．"Two years ago，Shelli began (40)studies on homework，most of which suggest that，particularly for younger grades，there is no clear (41) between work at home and school performance．Working with the staff at St Brigid Elementary Junior High School，she formed a homework committee．When no firm changes resulted from the committee，the couple began negotiating the legal document that (42) the matter．"We think it's a parent's right to choose what's in our children's best interests，" said Shelli．"But we're grateful the school did the right thing．"23.

example，if you passed an exam，the self-serving would lead you to believe that it was because you studied hard．If you failed，on the other hand，you might believe it was because the teacher did not explain thesubject correctly，the classroom was too warm or your roommate kept you up all night before the exam．Social psychologists describe this phenomenon as self-serving bias （自利性偏差）．A number of factors have been shown to influence the self-serving bias．Generally，older adults make the internal attribution，that is，credit themselves with theirsuccess．Men are more likely to make the external attribution，meaning they tend to blame the outside force for their failure．Often when a person is sad，this kind of bias may be opposite：they will attribute positive results to the outside help or even luck，and blame themselves when bad things happen．Experts suggest that while this bias is quite widespread in the western culture including the U．S．and Canada，it tends to be much less frequent in the eastern culture including China and Japan．Why？Individualist cultures such as the U．S．place greater stress on the personal achievement and self-respect，so protecting the self from feelings of failure is more important．Collectivist cultures，on the other hand，are more likely to attribute the personal success to luck and failure to the lack of talent．However，there are some situations where the self-serving bias happens lessoften．Some research has found that people in close relationships，whether the romantic relationship or friendship，tend to be more modest．Your friends or your partner，in other words，would remind you when a bad situation might be partly because of your own doing．Although the bias can mean avoid the personal responsibility for one's action，in many cases，it is a defense mechanism that protects a person's self-respect．By attributing positive events to personal characteristics，people get an increase in confidence．By blaming the outside force for failure，people make themselves believe they don't need to be responsible for the failure and thus protect their self-respect．Another advantage of this bias is that it leads people to persevere even in the face ofdifficult situations．An unemployed worker may feel more motivated to keep looking for work if he attributes his unemployment to a weak economy，for example，rather than some personal failure．An athlete might feel more motivated to perform well if hebelieves that his failure during a previous event is the result of bad weather rather than a五、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共25.0分）44.In life， we will succeed and fail often for reasons that are entirely out of our control．For instance， we can be incredibly nice and Jove someone deeply， and they may not l ove us back． We can work harder than anyone else at our lessons and still not be as exc ellent as our peers． We can eat healthy food， exercise and stay away from alcohol and cigarettes， and still get sick．My first marriage ended in divorce． To me， it felt very unfair． I had worked hard to be a good wife and mother． However， no matter what I did， I could not make the r elationship work．I could have been shut down by that experience． I could have decided that if one person didn't appreciate me as a wife， then no one would． I could have given up． But I k new that I wanted to be married． I knew that I wanted to experience traditional family l ife． So I didn't let one seemingly unfair experience stop me from believing that I could one day be happily married． And then one day， I met this kind， thoughtful， gener ous man with whom I now have a wonderful friendship and marriage． But that wouldn' t have happened if I had decided to give up after one failed marriage．What I've learned over the years is that we can do all the things that deserve a good outc ome， but get bad things in return instead．The bottom line is that life is not fair． That is a tough pill to swallow for many of us．As a result， some people shut down after being hit by even one unfair blow from life． They can't handle the fact that our efforts don't always get the results that-we expect．But if we let life's unfairness defeat us， we will never receive the beautiful blessings th at life has in store for us．【写作内容】1．以约30个词概括短文内容；2．用约120个词就"生活中处处存在看似不公平的事"这一主题发表你的看法，内容包括以下要点：（1）你对这一现象的看法（至少两点）；（2）假如你遇到这一现象，你会如何处理．【写作要求】1．可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子；2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称．【评分标准】概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语篇连贯．______答案和解析1.【答案】A【解析】答案是A．本题考查时态和语态；主语newspapers和hand

It’s not the house that is special, but rather the person who lives inside.I met Jenny about 45 years ago when she was my sister’s kindergarten teacher. I remember looking into her classroom wishing I was her student. Jenny created a safe place where we could be whatever we wanted to be in that moment. My parents told me I could start school when I was 4. Though, when I turned 4 in the spring, I couldn’t understand why I had to wait until September.For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a teacher. When I graduated, I couldn’t wait to invite Jenny to my classroom. She arrived one day, and I saw joy on my students’ faces singing the same songs I sang with her as a child. As a new teacher, I marveled at how she connected with children. For years, Jenny volunteered in my classroom.Over the years we have shared in each other’s ups and downs. Sh e asks me for updates about my family and friends, and she tells me about hers.I am here for her now as the time to sell her house is near. I bring up boxes from her basement. We go through every painting a student has given her, every thank-you note a parent has written and her teaching aids.I find papers featuring the letters of the alphabet. I find my own name printed in green marker. Suddenly, my mind goes back to Room 3.More than 40 years ago, Jenny sat on the carpet at her feet. We learned about the letters and their sounds. Now, Jenny sits on her rocking chair, and I find myself sitting at her feet. Over tea, we talk for hours.

The Swedish furniture company’s “future-living” research lab in Copenhagen is conducting a survey to understand what people want when it comes to smart furniture.AI is now walking into more aspect s of people’s daily lives. Self-driving cars are just around the corner, and AI robots can play and beat the best players of strategy games. As smart home technologies have become more ubiquitous, products ranging from smart electrical outlets (插座) to smar t smoke alarms are flooding the market. Therefore, it’s not surprising that Ikea would be moving in the same direction.Exactly why people would want their sofa or bed frame to speak to then, track their daily movements or offer help is not yet clear. Thou gh Ikea’s the new survey doesn’t directly answer that question, it does provide a hint of what people would feel comfortable with. Most participants wanted a more human-like form of virtual (虚拟的) assistants, as opposed to one that is more robotic. In terms of the ideal gender (性别) of the assistants, the most popularchoice was neither male nor female. Few wanted a religious form of AI.Just as with human friends, most wanted AI friends that were like them, affirming their own worldview. They wanted an AI assistant that was reasonably intelligent-that could collect data to predict what a person wanted before he or she asked, and that could prevent someone from making mistakes.This is not the first time that Ikea has set foot in the field or futuristic technologies. In addition to wireless charging tables and chainless bikes that never rust, the furniture giant has also pictured smart kitchens that can cook the best meal. To decide on how intelligent you want your next sofa or bookshelf to be, you can take Ike a’s survey online.46．The survey carried out by Ikea aims to ________.A. know peoples need for smart furnitureB. understand future lifestyleC. promote the company’s smart furnitureD. answer people’s questions47．What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.

Smart sofas that can speak to you.B. Smart beds that can track your daily movements.C. Wireless charging car.D. Rustless bikes without chains.For generations, we’ve spent the first third of o ur lives acquiring the college degrees weneed to find jobs. These degrees are the stamps on our professional passports that pave the way for the remaining two-thirds of our journey. However, the future of work won’t be about college degrees, it’ll be abou t job skills.According to the World Economic Forum, over one billion jobs, almost one-third of all jobs worldwide, are likely to be transformed by technology in the next decade. We’ve already seen this happen. Think of the apps you use to shop, track orders and simply stay informed. The stores need to keep them up and running at all hours, day after day, all year round, meaning they need those who can analyze and secure customer data.In these and other similar situations, people are the organizing force making sure technology works the way we want it to. This means a quick rise in new kinds of digital jobs. According to the Forum’s Jobs of Tomorrow report, there’ll be a rapid influx of roles at the forefront of the data and AI economy, as well as new roles in engineering, cloud computing and product development. These jobs need talent with relevant skills, and importantly these skills can be learnt even by those without college degrees.Shifting our focus from degrees to skills will mean transitioning (过渡) to always-on skills-based education and employment organizations that acknowledge not just certification but fitness-for-job and employment as outcomes. In recent years, several companies have focused on continuous learning for the workforce — the trend will become stronger.When it comes to skills, employers look for more than just technical skills. Companies want people with an eye for detail, creative problem-solving skills, a collaborative mindset and an ability to handle complex issues. These also are skills that can be learnt. Anyhow, lifelong learners with ever relevant skills will be in greater demand in the workplace. 51．What is the function of Paragraph 1?A. To propose a definition.B. To present an argument.C. To give an example.D. To make a comparison.52．How does technology influence the jobs?A. It calls for higher demands for degrees.B. It makes many jobs less challenging.C. It reduces their dependence on degrees.D. It connects them with degrees closely.53．What does the underlined word “influx” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Increase.B. Recovery.C. Decline.D. Change.54．What will future employers value most concerning their staff?A. Their traditional technical skills.B. Their continuous learning abilities.C. Their certification-based education.D. Their desire to start their own business.55．What might be the best title for the text?A. Skills Are Different From DegreesB. Degrees Will Be More CompetitiveC. Degrees Will Shape the Future of WorkD. Skills Are More Vital for Future WorkAesha Ash spent most of her life ballet dancing and even turned it into a career as a member of the New York City Ballet. As much as she loved to dance, she found the weight of her obligation heavy because she was often the only African American ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员) in her classes and company.After retiring from ballet in 2007. Aesha enjoyed the quiet life for about ten years before she decided to come back to ballet, but in a completely new way. She started The Swan Dreams Project that helps kids in poor areas get into the world of ballet. Aesha set up a one-week camp that invited kids to not only learn the basics of ballet, but also get an introduction to French (since she says it is “the language of ballet”).Her first camp was in 2018 in a poor neighborhood in New York. When she arrived, she was greeted by dozens of students, most of whom were African Americans. She wanted to help kids who otherwise might not have ever had the chance to live in the world of ballet.On the final day of camp, after a week of learning, the students put on a final performance for their family and friends. Before the performance, Aesha said she was nervous that it would be less of a performance and more of a mess, since the campers were all between 8 and 11 years old. Muc h to her surprise, it turned out to be perfect. She said. “When we went out to our first circle and the kids began counting in French and performing the steps they had just learned, my heart melted.”Aesha continues to do whatever she can to help kids learn ballet. She found a way to turn that seemingly unbearable weight she once carried around into something good for kids, as well as for the world of ballet.56．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

called Jules's Undersea Lodge30feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo.The farther you go below the ocean's surface,the greater the pressure.Dr.Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time.He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older.It could also help doctors treat different medical problems,including brain injuries.While he was living underwater,Dr.Dituri stayed busy.He often exercised in the morning.He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over5,500students from15 different countries.He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean.He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him.On June9,Dr.Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record,beating the old record of 73days.Many friends,family,and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success.Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay.Actually,Dr.Dituri went through several big changes.For one thing,he became1.3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure.Sleeping much better,his health greatly improved in a couple of ways.Dr.Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project.In November,Dr.Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project.Dr.Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people."Who

bus.Most of those buses run on diesel（柴油）fuel,which give out pollution that riders can take in.Pollution levelscan be several times higher inside a diesel school bus than outside it.Why?Pollution can leak in from the floor or blow in through windows.A ernment program started in2012offered schools'money spent on cleaner school buses but not all schools could get it.Five years later,emissions from buses in the winning districts fell.And a year after getting new buses,student attendance had improved in those districts.For an average district of10,000students,about six more students attended'school each day'in the winning districts,compared to the losing districts.Winning schools with higher rates of bus-riding kids had an average of14more students in class each day.And winning districts that replaced the oldest school buses?They had an average of45more students in school each day.Those numbers may sound small,but'they add up.And school attendance matters for student achievement.Almost3million U.S.kids ride school buses more than20years old.If U.S.school districts had replaced all of those older buses,there would have been1.3million fewer student absences each year.There might be other reasons for better attendance.For example,maybe kids preferred new buses.However,the most-likely reason for fewer student absences was better health.A study done on adults showed that a brief exposure to diesel emissions reduced"network connectivity"in the brain.In other studies,such network-connectivity changes have been linked to worsened memory and mental tasks.A Washington State program upgraded pollution controls in old diesel buses. Afterward,fewer kids were hospitalized in those districts than in schools without bus upgrades.Almost all U.S.school districts can apply for the program.But schools in low-income areas, in tribal areas and,in rural areas will get priority.Kids in these areas tend to face.the most health risks from older buses.28.What can we infer about diesel school buses from the first paragraph?A.They have a short service life.B.They operate cost-effectively.C.They accommodate few passengers.D.They do much harm to school children.29.Why is the increase in school attendance small but important?A.It is a long accumulation.B.It is a winning condition.C.It is a measuring standard.D.It is a student achievement.30.How does the bus replacement bring better student attendance?A.By reducing the network connectivity.B.By bettering the health state of students.C.By improving student satisfaction with schools.D.By meeting students'demand for school bus drivers.31.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The"network connectivity"in the brain.B.The great work on cleaner school buses.C.A ernment program for education.D:Better attendance due to new school buses.DFirst-year college students often are expected or required to live in dormitories.In the rest years,it's usually up to those students to decide whether to live on or off campus.But some schools don't provide an option and require four years of on-campus living for full-time students.Living on campus has been shown to increase retention（保留）and attendance rates among freshman and second-year students,according to a2021report.There are exceptions, however.At some colleges,students may be freed from the requirement if they are,for instance, commuters（通勤生）,fifth-year seniors,at least23years of age or legally married.Residential housing at colleges is not limited to shared rooms and bathrooms.Alternatives include flats,apartments,Greek houses or living-learning communities for students with shared interests.On-campus students also have access to services and resources such as residence life staff who can help if a housing issue arises.When students live in a community,they are forced to live with different people,learn more about themselves and about the others,and tell each other their stories.On the other hand,off-campus living provides students with more independence,as they are not constrained by school housing policies.Off-campus students gain more real-world experience in areas like paying their own bills,finding renter's insurance,cooking their own meals and negotiating or reviewing contracts.If students are choosing to live off campus,they should reallythink it through and talk to someone that lived.off campus.Do their homework and look at all the costs before they make that decision.Make sure,too,that they are choosing people that they can live with.At first glance,off-campus housing can appear less expensive.But the additional expenses outside of rent---like utilities,groceries,Internet access,cable and furniture---are often overlooked. To reduce off-campus costs,some students choose to overpack houses or apartments,sometimes with four or five people in a two-bedroom house.Unlike off-campus housing,the total cost of living on campus is typically all-inclusive,coveting rent,utilities,furniture,Wi-Fi and a meal plan.32.Why do some colleges require all the students to live on campus?A.To keep them stay longer on campus for classes.B.To make sure all students can live in shared rooms.C.To make as much profit as possible for the colleges.D.To monitor all of their students as easily as possible.33.What should students do before living off campus?A.They should find someone to take care of them.B.They should fully develop the ability to live alone.C.They should learn all aspects of off-campus living.D.They should seek accommodation through an agent.34.What does the underlined word"overpack"in the last paragraph mean?A.Overlook.B.Overconsume.C.Overestimate.D.Overload.35.What is the best title for the text?A.Residential Housing At Different CollegesB.Choice Between Housing On Or Off CampusC.Accommodation Situation For College StudentsD.Different Living Experience On Or Off Campus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。

Rather than the standard working day of nine to five, employees are working more flexibly to meet their busy home lives. Advances in technology are ___31___ the very nature of the tasks and skills required in the workplace.To gain a full perspective of how the workplace is set to change over the next decade, employee benefits provider Unum UK ___32___ with The Future Laboratory to survey 3,000 workers across several industries. They also interviewed industry experts and business leaders on topics from artificial intelligence and robotics to the increase of flexible working and an ageing workforce.The result outlines some of the employment changes that businesses can expect to see over the next decade and predicts the ___33___ of two worker cultures which will dominate the workforce. They are the obligated and the self-fulfilled workers.“Obligated workers” refer to people with dependents and the sandwich generation, ___34___ raising children with caring for elderly parents.

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.Early decision — you apply to one school, and admission is binding (有法律约束力的) — seems like a great choice for nervous applicants. Schools ___41___ a higher percentage of early-decision applicants, which arguably means that you have a better chan ce of being enrolled. And if you do, you’re done with the whole painful process by December. But most students and parents don’t realize that schools have hidden ___42___ foroffering early decision.Early decision, since it’s binding, allows schools to fi ll their classes with qualified students; it allows ___43___ committees to select the students that are in particular demand for their college and know those students will come. It also gives schools a higher yield rate (优秀学生率), which is often used as one of the ways to ___44___ college selectivity and popularity.The problem is that this process effectively ___45___ the window of time students have to make one of the most important decisions of their lives up to that point. Under ___46___ admissions, seniors have to choose which school to attend until May 1; early decision effectively steals six months from them, months that could be used to visit more schools, do more research, speak to current students and alumni (校友) and make a more ___47___ decision.For any given student in America, whatever their levels are, there are a number of schools that are a great ___48___. When students become too fixed on a particular school early in the admissions process, that fixation can lead to ___49___ severe disappointm ent if they don’t get in or, if they do, it is likely that they are now bound to go to a school that, given time for further ___50___, may not actually be right for them.Early decision offers a genuine admissions edge. That advantage goes largely to students who already have ___51___ advantages. The students who use early decision tend to be those who have received higher-quality college guidance, usually a result of coming from a more advantaged background. ___52___, there’s an argument against early deci sion, as students from lower-income families are far less likely to have the admissions know-how (招生诀窍) to ___53___ figure out the often confusingearly deadlines.Students who have done their research and are confident that there’s one school they would b e thrilled to get into should, under the current system, probably ___54___ under early decision. For students who haven’t yet done enough research, or who are still constantly changing their minds on favorite schools, the early-decision system needlessly and prematurely ___55___ the field of possibility just at a time when students should be opening themselves to a whole range of thrilling options.41. A. let in B. turn down C. make up D. give away42. A. dangers B. costs C. assumptions D. purposes43. A. admissions B. joint C. inquiry D. investigative44. A. detail B. measure C. achieve D. represent45. A. neglects B. provides C. shortens D. marks46. A. future B. regular C. random D. compulsory47. A. informed B. honoured C. imposed D. complicated48.

A. occupies B. encloses C. narrows D. exploresSection 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 thepassage you have just read.(A)One recent night, while I was leafing through its pages of an old journal, my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked. “A prejudice had something in common with an ideal.” In other words, ideals —general descriptions of people’s expectations of themselves and others — can often lead us to unreasonable ideas. It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people. We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin, the year of their birth or any other related factors.I grew up in a multi-racial corner of America. The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes: Jewish people were “greedy,” Mexicans were “poorly educated,” and Asians were “good at math.” These labels were taught to us from a young age. They wormed their way into our belief systems, harming how we came to see others. It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true. The rush-to-judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination (歧视).You can also see these over-generalized description being made against today’s Chinese people. Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among millennials (千禧一代) being described as “monkish,” or “dad-fashion (复古作风)” which has given the “greasy middle-aged men” tag, stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society. But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.It’s about time that we, as a society, walked away from generalizations and stereotypes. I leave you with the words ofMartin Luther King Jr. from his famous “I Have a Dream” speech: “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” By reserving judgment and really getting to know the individual, you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation.56. According to the passage, how do people tend to judge others?A. By describing people’s personalities.B. By truly getting to know those around.C. By observing their noticeable features.D. By following Martin Luther King’s speech.57. According to the author, a culture of discrimination appears because ________.A. people live in places of various racesB. people are born with unreasonable ideasC. prejudices slightly influence people’s be lief systemD. people usually make judgments without thinking twice58. Examples of “millennials” and “dad-fashion” are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to reveal ________.A. generalizations have unfavourable position in societyB. generalizations have a negative influence on our societyC. generalizations are found peculiar to the middle-aged ChineseD. generalizations make today’s Chinese people lack interest or worry59. The passage is mainly concerned with ________.A. the common prejudiceB. people’s expectat ion of themselvesC. the groundless worriesD. the famous speech of Martin Luther King(B)When you cross deep water driving too fast, you risk splashing water up into the air box and having it get sucked into the internal engine, which is more common than you think. There are a few steps you should take to clear the water out before you try to start it:1. First, drain the fuel tank, fuel lines and the oil. While it's draining, put a fan on the wiring and dry it out. Remove and clean the carburetor (化油器).2. Take the plugs out of the engine and turn it over to force any water out. Water will come out with the oil. Add oil to the engine and turn it over again, without the plug in. Let it sit for a while, then observe the oil to tell if there's any water in it (it will look like a white milky substance if there is water mixed with the oil). If it's there, drain it again and start over until there is little or no white showing in the oil.3. Now re-install the spark plug, add gas, then try to start the engine. You should have a can of ether (乙醚) handy just in case it's stubborn, but don't use too much. If it starts, let it run for a few minutes without making it work faster.4. After it runs for several minutes, shut it off, drain the oil and change the filter(过滤网). Run it again for a few minutes then shut it off and checks again for milky colored oil. If you have none, you should be good to go.5. If you cannot start the engine, you may have already ruined it and you will probably need to seek a professional to repair it, or, more likely, you'll have to replace it.60. According to the passage, a driver turns the engine over after oil is added to it so that he can _______.A. drain the oil and change the filter without any difficultyB. re-install the spark plug and get ready to start the car againC. make a milky substance which is the mixture of water and oilD. see whether there is any water in the engine by checking the oil61. The underlined word “stubborn” in paragraph 4 may probably means ________.A. reluctant to changeB. hard to switch onC. insufficient to burnD. unable to take in62. This passage may be most helpful to ________.A. a policeman who knows much about car accidentsB. a secretary who has just driven across a small pondC. a driver who is incapable of fixing the car by himselfD. a teacher who is to carry out her routine car maintenance(C)One of the features of a successful business is its ability to employ creativity to constantly push into new territory. Without growth and innovation, businesses eventually fade away. Those with staying power, however, have mastered an often-overlooked factor that allows them to focus on the future clearly: empathy (共情). While that may surprise many, I am certain that the ability to connect with and relate to others —empathy in its purest form — is the force that moves businesses forward.Though the concept of empathy might go against the modern concept of a traditional workplace — competitive, the reality is that for business leaders to experience success, they need to not just see or hear the activity around them, but also relate to the people they serve.Some may think they want the results from doggedly (顽强地) pursuing their goals without much thought for other people. This attitude works for some, but at some point — often sooner rather than later — everyone needs to rely on their relationships and established personal and professional connections. These relationships are the product of taking an honest and dedicated interest in others and their businesses. Successful people do not operate alone; each of us needs the support of others to achieve positive results that push us toward our goals. True empathy combines understanding both the emotional and the logical rationale(根据) that goes into every decision.Effectively understanding empathy involves viewing it as each person’s connection to the people and marketplace that surround them. A biological principle known as co-evolution explains that the adaptation of an organism is caused by the change of a related object. Similarly, businesses and their leaders participate in co-evolution-type relationships. Business success depends on empathetic leaders who are able to adapt, build on the strengths around them, and relate to their environment. When businesses fail, it is often because leaders have stopped focusing on understanding their environment and instead stay separated in their own operations. Successful business leaders are receptive to disturbance and aware of what is going on in their organizations both internally and externally.To develop an effective workforce, we must be willing to give in and meet people where they are. This can be frustrating and uncomfortable, particularly when you feel like your position makes more sense or offers a better solution. A critical part of developing empathy, however, is learning to understand, respect and implement another individual’s point of view rather than forcing your own.63. In the author’s opinion, if a company wants to achieve success, it must ________.A. frequently develop in new areasB. always stay pure and powerfulC. concentrate on its future developmentD. value much thought for others64. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. empathy generally depends on logical reasonsB. supports from others help to achieve ambitionsC. competition rarely exists in traditional workplacesD. striving for goals on one’s own is the key to success65. Which of the following examples can best illustrate the co-evolution principle?A. Th e boss is too occupied to realize that his employees’ income is below the average.B. The head of the news agency offers little bonus to the journalists who work extra hours.C. The principal promises flexible working hours after the school moves to the countryside.D. The factory director insists on increasing the output despite the declining market demand.66. What can be the best title of this passage?A. Empathy and Business SuccessB. The Formation of EmpathyC. Empathy and AggressivenessD. The Importance of EmpathySection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. BAT wanted to take action.B. Those who gave more tended to gain less.C. The data are ridiculous, and no one is really paying attention.D. By nature, educators are taught to give care and support others — not themselves.E. Although respected for its own sake, teaching is under suspicion i n today’s world.F. After all, self-care, good mental health, positive well-being is one of the single best things you can do for yourself.We need to do more to help the teachers who are exhausted and stressedTeaching should not be one of the most stressful jobs in the US. But it is. “The only other profession that comes close to us for stress is nursing —and we still have the numbers… by a lot. ______67______”“Nobody realizes how horrific working conditions are for teachers throughout the country,” Bri ce-Hyde says, an experienced teacher in New York who is part of the national group Badass Teachers Association (BAT).______68______ So they did a national study of teacher working conditions around issues like stress, work-life balance, respect, and more. The results are both surprising — and not. If you’ve been seeing the stories about teacher walkouts and pay inequality, you probably aren’t all that shocked to see these things like: 61 percent of educators find work “always” or “often” stressful; 27 percent of educators said they’ve been threatened or bullied; 86 percent of educators feel disrespected by US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.Teachers are stressed out, and turnover is high. No wonderwe’re seeing more stories about the importance of self-care, classroom burnout, and mental health days for teachers. Yet, self-care doesn’t seem to come easily for people, and this is definitely true for teachers. ______69______We think it’s time to change that, though. So in honor of World Mental Health Day, we are working to change the dialogue about teacher mental health. Below are some of the top challenges people give for not seeking therapy, or even basic self-care, along with possible solutions and workarounds for each one.We hope you share this article widely, giving support and love to your fellow educators. ______70______ And it’s pretty much guaranteed to help you do what you set out to in the first place — be a good teacher.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Online Pharmacy (药店): A Foreseeable TrendOnline pharmacies may replace corner drugstores in the future, which would be of benefit to all of us. Sadly, current Federal Drug Administration (FDA) restrictions prevent many Americans from gaining access to the medicines they require online. Fortunately, online pharmacies offer these drugs and provide patients with more treatment options at lower prices. Those calling for the restrictions are wrong. Online pharmacies are crucial to numerous people.While some drugs sold online aren’t FDA-approved, customers shouldn’t be prevented from buying them. Many of the herbal remedy (草药) online pharmacies offer have been usedfor hundreds of years, especially in Asian countries, and they have strong safety records. Other medicines may come from foreign countries, but they aren’t harming the people who use them in their own countries. Take depression pills as an example. It has been used safely for many years in France and other European countries, yet it’s just now being tested in the U.S.Nowadays, just getting in to see a doctor seems to take forever, not to mention the time and money to get tests done and await the results. Thanks to the Internet, customers now know more about available medicines than ever before and are therefore able to take them without having to consult a doctor. The Internet, after all, is filled with information about all kinds of drugs. Much of it has even been written by doctors and pharmaceutical companies themselves.Another issue to consider is money. Health care costs in America are rising every year, and pharmaceutical companies are making billions. Online pharmacies typically sell their drugs at lower prices than hospital pharmacies and corner drugstores. Consumers shouldn’t be blamed for seeking cheaper alternatives and refusing to line the pockets of already wealthy companies and stores.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 这场因无视规则引发的事故值得我们深思。

AWe did a quick survey of New Year traditions around the world, and couldn’t help but notice that the traditions might reflect cultural varieties? but the meanings behind them are pretty universal.PhilippinesIn Philippines? families hold traditional dinner parties called Media Noche to greet the New Year. Circle-shaped fruits are their favorites, such as grapes, oranges and melons, since they look like coins, you know. Filipinos actually try to choose 12 different kinds of fruit to put on the table—one for each month in the New Year.Make sure you leave some food in your plate. It’s bad luck to start the New Year off as a hungry wolf.SpainMany Spaniards will eat 12 fresh grapes at midnight—one with each strike of the clock. Each grape represents a wish for happiness and good luck for every month in the coming year. This “12 grapes in 12 seconds“ custom came from a grape farmer in the Alicante region who wanted to promote his produce abouta century ago. The tradition has spread to other countries too? with a few adjustments. In Portugal? they eat12 dried grapes. In Peru? they eat a thirteenth grape.DenmarkIn Denmark? they eat kransekage, a big horn-shaped cake, on New Year’s Eve. When they’re finishedwith the cake, it’s Danish custom to throw the used plates against the front doors of their friends and neighbors. It’s actually a sign of friendship.ItalyPork sausages are usually served on New Year’s Eve in Italy. Italians choose pork because they think pigs are fat and keep moving forward, while other animals, such as chickens or cows, move backward or stand still.But whatever you eat into the New Year in Italy-pork, fish or chicken-make sure you stay at home. Italians throw old possessions out of the window after midnight as an out-with-the-old,make-room-for-the-new gesture.1. How many kinds of fruit are usually served at Media Noche?A. 6.B. 8.C. 10.D. 12.2. Who eat dried grapes at midnight to greet the New Year?A. The Portuguese.B. Spaniards.C. Filipinos.D. Italians.3. What do the last two traditions have in common?A. Eating special meat.B. Throwing away old things.C. Leaving food in plates.D. Preferring coin-shaped fruits.BThere is a curious love triangle that sits at the center of the new documentary Fire of Love.It’s between a man, a woman and a volcano. Well, all of them are volcanoes.Their names might not be especially well-known today, but in the 1970s and ‘80s, French scientists Katia Krafft and Maurice Krafft were very famous for their photographs and writings about the volcanoes. When they died in 1991 on Mount Unzen in Japan, their deaths were covered globally. But their story has somewhat faded in the public memory in the past three decades? though Werner Herzog did spotlight them in his 2016 documentary Into the Inferno.The Kraffts? who first bonded over Mount Etna and Mount Stromboli and were married in 1970, witnessed about 140 eruptions on every continent except Antarctica and won an Emmy for their National Geographic documentary Mountains of Fire. They would famously drop everything to get to an active volcano, and were often the first on site. They were also known for their willingness to get dangerously close.Filmmaker Sara Dosa once met the Kraffts while making an earlier film about Iceland many years ago. In 2020, with the help of Image’ Est, a French museum, and Maurice Krafft’s brother, Bertrand Krafft, Dosa and her team were able to get access to over 180 hours of footage shot by the Kraffts. So Dosa decided to make something about the Kraffts in the true spirit of the Kraffts.“We wanted to let them play themselves. We see them as the authors of their own story,“ Dosa said. ”This is a co-creation, shot by them and starring them. We’re just stringing together the pieces of their life for the audience to connect with.”However Fire of Love is anything but a filmed Wikipedia(维基百科)page. Dosa and her team have drawn on the techniques of French New Wave films to help shape the style of their film, including playful multiple screens.4. Where did Katia Krafft and Maurice Krafft pass away?A. On Mount Etna.B. On Mount Stromboli.C. On Mount Unzen.D. On Mount Krakatoa.5. Why were the Kraffts considered as volcanoes?A. They were enthusiastic about studying volcanoes.B. They were well-known for their short-lived marriage.C. Their deaths were related to the biggest volcano.D. Their love story appeared in many volcano books.6. Who directed the film Fire of Love?A. Bertrand Krafft.B. Sara Dosa.C. Werner Herzog.D. Katia Krafft.7. What is the text?A. A love story.B. A biography.C. A documentary.D. A film review.CHumans have long been trying to make sense of our place in the universe. Waiting at a launch site in French Guiana? NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is the latest step forward in that ancient quest (探索).Using telescopes, astronomers have seen many galaxies (星系) such as the Andromeda Galaxy and the NGC 3227 Galaxy. So far, the most distant galaxy ever discovered, GN-z11,was spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope. To the untrained eye, it looks like a red blob (小点点), but it’s basically like looking back in time about 13.4 billion years ago. That’s just about 0.4 billion years after the Big Bang.“Hubble is limited in how far back in time it can look, so finding this one was just a lucky break,” saysMarusa Bradac, an astronomer at the University of California. “A stronomers only spotted it because decades of using Hubble have let them cover much of the sky, and this particular early galaxy is surprisingly bright although it is 25 times smaller than the Milky Way Galaxy and has just one percent of its mass.”Already, with that one galaxy, we’ve started to question some of our assumptions about how galaxies grow. The powerful, $ 10 billion James Webb Space Telescope has technology that should let it see back to 0.1 ~0.2 billion years after the Big Bang, the period when the very first galaxies possibly formed.“If all go well, the James Webb Space Telescope will help us to build up the story of how the first galaxies ever formed and how they grew into galaxies we see today and we live in today,” says Bradac. “But the ch ances of seeing those first born stars with the new telescope are small. There’s maybe even more of a chance that we might see some of those stars explode. Such information can help us understand how galaxies formed and changed into the familiar shapes and structures seen today. That’s what’s amazing about the new telescope.”8. When did the Big Bang take place?A Around 13.0 billion years ago.B. Around 13.4 billion years ago.C. Around 13.6 billion years ago.D. Around 13.8 billion years ago.9. What does the underlined words “this one” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The Milky Way Galaxy.B. The GN-z11 Galaxy.C. The Andromeda Galaxy.D. The NGC 3227 Galaxy.10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The great potential of the new telescope.B. The need for new scientific breakthroughs.C. The cost of the James Webb Space Telescope.D. The importance of the Hubble Space Telescope.11. What can the new telescope most likely help scientists do according to Bradac?A. Find the first born star in the universe.B. Witness the occurring of the Big Bang.C. See the explosion of some of the first born stars.D. Get a complete understanding of the universe.DBe it sugar or social media, the response in our brain is the same: It produces a “feel-good” chemi cal called dopamine. It first brings about pleasure, but it doesn’t last very long. It is then followed by pain so that we have to search for the pleasurable things again.“This cycle of pleasure and pain made sense in the time of early humans when we had to constantly search for our basic needs-food, water, shelter,” says Dr. Anna Lembke, a Stanford Medical School researcher. “But our brains weren’t adjusted to put out the ‘fire of dopamine’ caused by pleasurable things that are so easily available in mode rn life.”In addition, when we’re repeatedly exposed to pleasure-producing things, we’re not able to take joy in the same rewards. Instead, we need stronger and stronger stimulus (刺激) just to feel good. Otherwise, the cycle will lead us to anxiety, depression and many other problems.“This is a universal problem—not one limited to those struggling with the disease of addiction. If we want to stay mentally healthy, we must rethink how to break the cycle in a dopamine-overloaded world,” says Lembke.Her suggestions for the addicts?Take a 30-day break from anything that we rely on for pleasure. This doesn’t mean going cold turkey forever. But this first month is key to breaking the pleasure-pain cycle and it’s a lot easier to cut out an addictive behavior entirely at first. Then re-introduce the pleasurable things little by little, like just a few bites of ice cream at a time or just one hour online a night.Another strategy is to create physical distance between us and our addiction. That could mean just removing the addictive thing from our personal space. For someone who’s addicted to video games, that could mean a separate laptop for work and one for play.“In a time of abundance, we have to strike a pleasure-pain balance, which means intentionally avoiding pleasure and seeking the kind of purposeful pain that keeps us healthy, such as exercise,” Lembke says. “By doing so, we will reset reward pathways and eventually be a lot happier. It’s not easy, but it’s well worth doing in the long term.”12. What can we learn about dopamine from the text?A. It has always been harmful to humans.B. It gives us less joy for the same rewards.C. It can be caused by anything available.D. It can lead to a lasting good feeling.13. What do the underlined words “going cold turkey” probably mean?A. Abandoning.B. Waiting.C. Cooking.D. Repeating.14. What does Dr. Anna Lembke suggest we do in the long term?A. Avoid pleasure in life.B. Set a strict limit on pleasurable things.C. Change reward pathways.D. Expose ourselves to repeated rewards.15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Ways to Live With Dopamine in PeaceB. Tips on Getting Rid of Social Media AddictionC. Strategies for Making Most of the Modern LifeD. The Need to Strike a Pleasure-pain Balance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。

Gardening changed how I see myself as a disabled woman. When I started gardening in 2018, I didn’t know anything about plants, let alone how to grow things we can eat. I thought gardening required a lot of 1 tasks. As I have a genetic (遗传的) condition that causes my bones to 2 easily, I didn’t believe I could complete them. The thought of taking care of plants in a wheelchair every day made me feel 3 . But just like how I gradually learnt everything else as a disabled person, I had to 4 how to garden my way.That first season, I visited my garden as much as I could. Noticing my interest in gardening, my neighbors in the community 5 offered me advice and support. Under their careful 6 , I managed to pull up the weeds and watered my plants on my own. Finally, I was so proud to eat the tomatoes I grew and even shared some with neighbors. They tasted like summertime.Gardening has 7 how I see other parts of my life. As a disabled woman, I fear being seen as a 8 and struggle to ask for the things I need. Gardening helped me normalize the fact that I have needs. I don’t think my plant is a heavy load because it needs more nutrition. I don’t 9 it for getting insects and not being able to fight against them. Gardening also helped me expand my social circle and grow close to people in our community.Over the years, gardening has made me feel more confident in every aspect of my life. I’m planting what I want to grow, and I have gained a lot of 10 from that.1. A. simple B. physical C. pleasant D. urgent2. A. change B. rest C. break D. move3.

They were taught how to approach, feed, brush, and mount the horses 5 eventually they got a chance to ride them.By 6 the program’s horses with Sabrina’s help and forming 7 with them, children become more self-aware and then begin to recognize and face negative feelings and behaviors, which can help them communicate with others and lead to significant positive changes to their 8 skills, self-worth and behavior issues.Sabrina first taught the children that Charlie needed to become 9 with them by smelling their hands. Once Charlie was comfortable, the kids learned how to pet his face and head, and then how to use the lead rope, clean up Charlie’s messes, and feed him carrots.Olivia wasn’t the only kid who was nervous and shy at the beginning.

辽宁省县级重点高中2024届高三上学期期末考试英语试卷(含答案)

辽宁省县级重点高中2024届高三上学期期末考试英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解Gabon, on the west coast of Africa, has numerous rainforests, open grasslands, white-sand beaches and rushing rivers. Here are four adventures that can let you have unforgettable experiences.The Wild Species AdventureThe site of this adventure is close to a national park, which has elephants, monkeys, leopards, red river hogs and so on. Visitors can go on a journey by jeep and have a chance to see the country's natural beauty and different birds in a nearby reserve.The Fishing AdventureGabon has some really big fish and miles of untouched coastlines, and the fishing spots are not packed, because they are wide apart. When fishing, visitors can find themselves in pleasant places, surrounded by palm trees during the adventure. Gabon's unique lagoon (环礁湖) system provides visitors with a range of fish, all ready for you to join in the fishing contest.The Private Island AdventureIt is difficult for visitors to find this private island on the sea on booking or a trip advisor, but it is known by locals. It offers small but comfortable rooms to rest. Visitors can try fun activities like wakeboarding and boating.

Duchess Nina launched a campaign to save as many animals as possible, and soon became known as the “animal heroine” for her effort s.Duchess Nina worked with local farmers and animal owners to relocate animals to safer areas, such as the Scottish Highlands. She also established a network of volunteers who helped to care for animals during the war. She organized feeding programs, medical care and transportation, ensuring that animals were well looked after even during the most difficult times. The most challenging aspect of her work was the shortage of food during the war. So she established a vegetable garden and used leftovers to create nutritious meals for animals. She also reached out to the public for donations of food and supplies, and was able to secure enough resources to keep animals healthy and fed.In addition to her work with domestic animals, Duchess Nina was also a strong advocate for wildlife conservation. She established a center for wild animals in Scotland, where she provided a safe place for deer, foxes and other animals that were threatened by the war. She also worked with local protection groups to protect natural habitats.Duchess Nina’s work during World War Ⅱwas not without its risks. She frequentlySadly, some people saw her efforts as a distraction from the war effort. However, she contin ued to work tirelessly for animals. After the war, Duchess Nina’s work was recognized by the government and she got an important award for her services to animals.4．How did Duchess Nina probably feel when she heard the government’s orders?A. Worried.B. Calm.C. Excited.D. Encouraged.5．What was the biggest problem that Duchess Nina faced?A. Nobody gave her any donations.B. She couldn’t find enough volunteers.C.

Dangerous.C. Faraway.D. Poor.Underwater travel is difficult and dangerous, but many people have to stay deep under the ocean. Thus, humans have come up with a few designs of vehicles to move around under the ocean. But what if there was a better way to travel?Hilary Bart-Smith, an engineer at the University of Virginia, thinks a vehicle that travels like a manta ray (魔鬼鱼) would be able to operate for long periods at sea. Manta rays which can grow up to 29 feet long are among the most efficient swimmers in the ocean. Different from animals and people pushing against water, manta rays swim by moving through the water with wing-like movements of their fins (鳍) . Efficiency means using less energy to move farther.Bart-Smith and other engineers at the University of Virginia had to find out what manta rays looked like on the inside to better understand how they move. They took X-rays to find out how a manta ray's fins are built. They found that a web of cartilage (软骨) stretches across each fin.Once the engineers knew how a manta ray's fin was constructed, they could build one of their own. They made a long row of metal struts with many hinges to imitate the manta ray's web of cartilage. The engineers put their design inside a flexible cover, shaped like a manta ray's fin. Then they tested it in the university swimming pool. They were happy to see that it swam just like a manta ray in the ocean.Engineers and scientists are still learning and experimenting with how to imitate these amazing animals. For now, engineers study their movements and learn from the most efficient swimmers in the ocean. Perhaps someday engineers will be able to build manta ray robots that are big enough to transport people.8．How do manta rays swim?A.By moving like birds.B.By swimming like humans.C.By swimming like other fishes.D.By pushing against water like animals. 9．What can we learn from the second and third paragraphs?A.Manta rays look like travel vehicles.B.Manta rays are the fastest swimmers.C.Manta rays can grow at least 29 feet long.D.Manta rays'fins consist of a web of cartilage.10．Why do the engineers study manta rays?A.To learn about their habits.B.To control manta ray robots.C.To protect marine creatures.D.To design undersea vehicles.11．What's the author's attitude towards the research?A.Supportive.B.Negative.C.Doubtful.D.Objective.The most obvious dog fetish (迷恋) today is the longing for cuteness. Almost every day you can see adorable pictures of dogs and other animals that will make you smile and say, "How cute! "It is a cultural phenomenon that the media scholar James Meese calls the "cute economy' which exists primarily on social media, is user-generated, and is heavily dominated by pictures of animals, especially pets. The goal is to generate a positive response, probably followed by a tap on the screen to “like” and “share”. We can click through image after image of cute animals doing cute things, feeling a little boost of good cheer.The marketing researchers have identified some of the most common categories of cuteness in online pet content: animals doing silly things；animals of extreme size；animals with unusual looks；and animals behaving in ways that seem human-like. Dogs and other animals in the "cute economy" are often further humanized by being dressed in clothing and accessorized (装饰) with hats, jewellery, nail polish and fur dyed a rainbow of colors. Users who post successfully and with some strategies can make money by doing so. Thus, certain dogs have become cuteness celebrities, with millions of devoted followers and paid content from advertisers.Unfortunately, the price of the "cute economy" comes at a serious cost. The cutest and most popular breeds tend to be those with the most significant risk of health and behavioral problems. Cuteness is often coupled with their discomfort. People are drawn to the cuteness of dogs with extremely foreshortened skulls and extremely short legs and awkwardly long bodies, such as the French bulldog and the corgi.Actually, there are well-established health issues. We should treat the "cute economy' with caution, like resisting the commodification (商品化) of appearance by opting out of social media channels promoting the "cute economy". We can also choose not to "like" or"share" images of dogs whose cuteness is linked with discomfort. Although we are biologically attracted to dogs that are super cute, we should be mindful in our "impulses". 12．What is the key to the "cute economy" according to the text?A.Cute animals' attractive appearance.B.Taking pictures of different animals.C.Pet owners' liking adorable pictures.D.Posting cute animals' pictures on social media.13．Which kind of cuteness is most likely to be the online pet content?A.A normal-sized dog is eating bones.B.A white cat is quietly lying next to its owner.C.A monkey is attentively taking care of its baby.D.A parrot dressed in a suit is singing and dancing.14．What is the side effect of the "cute economy"?A.It will change the animals' nature.B.It may make the animals not so cute.C.It may cause health problems to the animals.D.It will result in a decline in animal population.15．What may be the best title for the text?A.Marketing Strategy-CutenessB.The Cute Economy and Its PriceC.Happiness from PetsD.Share Pictures or Not二、七选五16．Anyone experiences a failure occasionally. But how do you deal with it when it occurs? Blaming yourself makes no sense. Faced with a failure, try to find proper ways, which is the key to success.①______If you can't realize what the problem is and don't process failures clearly, you'll find yourself unable to sail along elegantly like a boat through the water ahead. So it is of great importance to spare some time to analyse the relevant causes of the failures.Practise self-acceptance and self-compassion (自我同情) . ②______ Self-acceptance does not mean believing that you are perfect. It means accepting yourself for who you really are. Self-compassion does not mean giving up on growth and self-improvement, but it means showing kindness to yourself. Practise them, decide what to do differently next time and move on.Reframe positively. Positive reframing requires viewing things in a new way that allows youto recognize and appreciate positive aspects of your situation. ③______ As a result, failures can be transformed into challenges and new possibilities to experience life more fully.Laugh it off. Laughing at yourself about a mistake you made is a great gift, which requires a shared understanding of humanity. The point is that once you can laugh at a failure, it is no longer terminal. Instead, you are ready to go ahead. ④______Of course, failures are actually not fun. ⑤______ Finally, you'll make fewer mistakes, experience fewer failures and naturally develop yourself into the being you are destined to become.A.Understand what has gone wrong.B.Save every minute to avoid failures.C.They are the basics of moving on from failures.D.If you can laugh it off, then you can forgive yourself.e the above ways, learn from failures and move forward.F.Similarly, if you can laugh at yourself, others will laugh at you.G.It helps you take advantage of opportunities rather than avoid problems.三、完形填空（15空）Fiona liked to sing at home.

第I卷（选择题）一、阅读理解（本大题共14小题，共分）AIt's exciting when your bookworm teen announces his or her plans to be a writer.Rather than bombard them with fancy pens and motivational reading，direct them to a comfort zone：the Internet.These sites are great resources and landing spots for future storytellers.FigmentSpecially tailored for the teen reader/ writer，Figment is a community dedicated to reading and writing stories online.Addictively fun，users can rate stories by whether they made them laugh，blush，cry，or just say"wow."The site frequently runs contests and features work from well. -known authors and editors who sometimes drop in for Figment chats with the site's community.WattpadIt is the largest online reading platform，and allows authors to share their work with the world.Well-known writers such as Margaret Atwood and Cory Doctorow even post their work here.Teens can find and follow their favorite authors and release their own works as serial novels.Teen InkSupported by the nonprofit Young Authors Foundation，Teen Ink is the twenty-five-year veteran in the fostering-teen-writers game.The magazine，book series，and website are devoted entirely to writing，art，and photos by teens.It's also a go-to for teens interested in writing and publishing nonfiction essays and articles as well as poetry.One Teen StoryDirect kids here to introduce them to the nonprofit's monthly magazine.Each issue features one short story about the teen experience，usually from a known young adult author.Teens drawn to the short story form can also submit their work for consideration in an annual issue that features a story written by a teen for teens.NaNoWriMoNaNoWriMo is an awesome thirty-day adventure for any writer，but teens might be especially inclined to join.In November，would-be novelists over the world attempt to write a 50 ，000-word（or more）book in thirty days.1.

Teen Ink is the first choice of teens who are keen on writing poems.BMany parents dream of their children growing up and seeing the world.But Edith Lemay，a mother of four from Canada，worried her children were running out of time to do that.When her first child，Mia，was little，she noticed she would bump into things.In 2018，Mia was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa（色素性视网膜炎） ."What it does is that the cell in the retina dies over time and they lose their field of vision.There's a chance they will go completely blind by midlife，" said Lemay.The disease is genetic，meaning Lemay's other kids were at risk.She soon noticed two of her sons，Collin and Laurent，had the same symptoms.They were soon diagnosed，too."Of course it was devastating（令人极为震惊的）.And when you have a kid，you always have an imageof what their future is going to be like and all of a sudden，you get that news and you need to erase that and think it over.And it really is a grieving process，" Lemay said.Lemay wanted to prepare her kids for what was to come and thought about filling their visual memory.In March，Lemay，her husband，and her four kids left Canada and embarked on an epic journey，traveling the globe for a whole year-showing their kids the world，before it is too late.During their trip，Lemay is homeschooling her kids.The family also made a bucket list of fun activities they want to accomplish，so each kid can see their dreams come true.Lemay said her kids are not only making visual memories.They're also learning important life lessons，like focusing on the positive. "Sometimes they're tired and there's frustration.It's difficult.But with the travel，I want them to be resilient.""I want them to know that any situation that's hard is temporary，because through their life，they'll need lots of resilience，" she said. "They're going to adapt to a situation with their eyesight and then in a few years later，they'll lose a chunk of their eyesights and they will have to readapt and adapt again and fall and get back again." Lemay continued.Many parents want to give their kids the world and this mom did.4. What risk may the children face in the future？______A. They will bump into things.B.

Which can best describe Lemay？______A. Affectionate and tough.B. Considerate and committed.C. Patient and generous.D. Sympathetic and sensitive.CWe all know that eating later in the day isn't good for our waistlines，but why？A new study weighed in on that question by comparing people who ate the same foods-but at different times in the day."We found that eating four hours later makes a significant difference for our hunger levels，the way we burn calories after we eat，and the way we store fat ，Vujovic said，a researcher at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital. "Together，these changes may explain why late eating is associated with increased obesity risk reported by other studies and provide new biological insight into the underlying mechanisms."The study provides support for the concept that circadian（生理节奏）rhythm，which influences key physiologic functions such as body temperature and heart rate，affects how our bodies absorb fuel，researchers said.The study does show eating later results in" an increase in hunger，impacts hormones（荷尔蒙）and also changes gene expression，especially in terms of fat metabolism with a tendency towards less fat breakdown and more fat deposition ，said Dr.Bhanu Prakash Kolla，a professor of psychiatry and psychology at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and a consultant to Mayo's Center for Sleep Medicine and Division of Addiction Medicine.The study was small-only 16 overweight or obese people- -but carefully planned to eliminate other potential causes of weight gain，the authors said."While there have been other studies investigating why late eating associates with an increased risk for obesity，this may be the most well controlled，including strictly controlling the amount，composition and timing of meals，physical activity，sleep，room temperature and light exposure，" said senior author Frank Scheer，director of the Medical Chronobiology Program in the Brigham's Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders.All participants were in good health，with no history of diabetes or shift work，which can affect circadian rhythm，and had regular physical activity.Each person in the study kept to a strict healthy sleep/ wake schedule for about three weeks and were provided with prepared meals at fixed times for three days before the lab experiment began. Results showed that hunger pangs doubled for those on a night-eating regime.People who ate later in the day also reported a desire for starchy and salty foods，meat and，to a lesser extent，a desire for dairy foods and vegetables.By looking at the results of blood tests，researchers were able to see why：Levels of leptin，a hormone which tells us when we feel full，were decreased for late eaters versus early eaters.In comparison，levels of the hormone ghrelin，which our appetite，rose.7. According to the passage，the fllowing may contribute to the obesity except ______ .A. the breakdown of less fatB. the changes in gene expressionC. the increase in the levels of leptinD. the disturbance of the circadian rhythm8. In Paragraph 4，the writer intends to ______ .A. highlight the results of the studyB. illustrate the process of the studyC. present the purpose of the studyD. demonstrate the reliability of the study9. What does the underlined word " spike"in Paragraph 5 most probably mean？______A. Stimulate.B. Reduce.C. Maintain.D. Control.10. What can we learn from the passage？______A. Eating late accounts for obesity.B. Obesity can be well controlled by eating late.C. When you eat is irrelevant to how fat you are.D. Eating late may impact the expression function.DAutomation（自动化）was a hot topic.Nearly everyone agreed that people would be working less once computers and other kinds of automatic machinery became widespread.For optimists，this was a promise of liberation：At last humanity would be freed from constant toil，and we could all devote our days to more refined pursuits.But others saw a threat：Millions of people would be thrown out of work，and desperate masses would roam the streets.Looking back from 50 years hence，the controversy over automation seems a quaint and curious episode.The dispute was never resolved.，a leader（and no relation to me），wrote in 1964 ：Automation is not just a new kind of mechanization but a revolutionary force capable of overturning our social order.Whereas mechanization made workers more efficient-and thus more valuable- automation threatens to make them superfluous（过剩的）- and thus without value.The opinions I have cited here represent extreme positions，and there were also many milder views.But I think it's fair to say that most early students of automation，including both critics and enthusiasts，believed the new technology would lead us into a world where people worked much less.As for economic consequences ，worries about unemployment have certainly not gone away-not with job losses in the current recession approaching 2 million workers in our country alone.But recent job losses are commonly attributed to causes other than automation，such as competition from overseas or aroller-coaster financial system.In any case，the vision of a world where machines do all the work and people stand idly by has simply not come to pass.The spread of automation outside of the factory has altered its social and economic impact in some curious ways.In many cases，the net effect of automation is not that machines are doing work that people used to do.Instead we' ve dispensed with the people who used to be paid to run the machines，and we've learned to run them ourselves.These trends contradict almost all the expectations of early writers on automation，both optimists and pessimists.So far，automation has neither liberated us from the need to work nor deprived （剥夺），we re working more than ever.What about trades closer to my own vital interests Will science be automated？Technology already has a central role in many areas of research；for example，genome sequences could not be read by traditional lab-bench methods.Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than replacing the lab technician，but when a machine exhibits enough curiosity and tenacity，I think we'll just have to welcome it as a companion in zealous research.And if the scientist is elbowed aside by an automaton，then surely the science writer can't hold out either.I'm ready for my 15-hour workweek.11. In Paragraph1，the writer mainly wants to convey that ______ .A. automation results in unemploymentB. automation does more harm than goodC. the issue of automation was still in discussionD. automation brings in much convenience in life12. ，we can infer ______ .A. automation is more valuable than what we imagineB. automation is a revolutionary force to better developmentC. the disadvantages of automation far outweigh the advantagesD. the new technology would lead people into working much less13. What's the author's attitude toward automation on jobs？______A. Doubtful.B. Supportive.C. Disapproving.D. Neutral.14. What can we conclude from this passage？______A. People needn't work so hard due to automation.B. Traditional labor force will be replaced in the near future.C. Automation should be accepted reasonably in development.D. Automation results in more job losses in the writer's country.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共分）Not every day is going to be great.Not every day is going to be your wedding day，graduation，or birthday.We have our routines；we go to school and meet a lot of the same ually long periods of time in our lives are devoted to doing a specific set of things.The stress of life can disconnect us from our surroundings and make it easier to lose touch with our need and emotions.

(2) .In a study that investigated what this does to your mood，282 participants were observed on the positive effect of something they did.Researchers found that being present and focusing on positive moments gave a higher positive effect and resulted in a higher life satisfaction.(3) .Have you ever walked through a patch of forest or seen the sunshine over rooftops and noticed how vibrant the colors were Or have you ever felt a breeze on the side of your face？You just need to learn how to treasure and enjoy these moments.Now this is not to say that life shouldn't be negative and that we should just ignore all the bad things that happen in life. (4) .Such emotion may be a sign that it is time to propel change and growth.Negative things should be considered to be opportunities for learning and should not be dwelled upon.Hence，I urge you to try it.

White sand beaches of the Cocos Islands，which are known as a gorgeous tourist destination surrounded by greenish blue water，have now been filled with plastic wastes.Jenifer Lavers，a marine scientist，went to these tropical islands with her research team.Knowing that lots of beaches were polluted by plastic wastes，the team conducted a careful scientific examination on the coast，only to find the problem caused by pieces of trash humans left was worse than expected. Not all plastics are to blame.They are necessary in places like hospitals and airplanes，，other plastics，especially disposable（一次性的）plastics ，account for the growing mess on the beaches.Islands all over the world are jammed with plastics.And the Cocos Islands are no exception. Apparently，demand for disposable plastics must be reduced greatly.

It has no advertisement.C. It can be used without Internet.D It offers members extra resources.BWhen most kids go to the beach they’re too focused on making sandcastles and splashing around to notice litter, but several years ago, for 7-year-old Cash Daniels, noticing a plastic straw sparked a lifelong passion for saving the planet.Cash, who is now known as the “conservation kid”, has always loved nature. He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn’t sit back.He started with cleanups along the river, something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors. In 2019, Cash, together with a Canadian conservationist, Ella Galaski-Rossen, started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids. Despite living in different countries, they managed to create educational videos on their YouTube channel. “We hope to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the U. S. and Canada,” Cash said. “We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean,” Cash said.Cash was selected as one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. He also earned the title of National Honoree, where he received a$5,000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his.,choice, and he became the first person to win the Youth Conservationist Award two years in a row from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation.“I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean. Because if you are connected to the ocean-if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it,” he said. “This is my fun, and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.”4. Which can replace the underlined words “sit back” in paragraph 2?A. Fall asleep.B. Lose heart.C. Turn a blind eye.D. Lend a hand.5. What is the purpose of starting the Cleanup Kids?A. To recycle waste plastics.B. To make instructive videos.C. To spread marine knowledge.D. To appeal for ocean protection.6. Which of the following best describes Cash Daniels?A. Sympathetic and devoted.B. Initiative and talented.C. Ambitious and humorous.D. Determined and modest.7. What does Cash Daniels story imply?A. Passion fuels dreams.B. Great minds think alike.C. Helping others is of great fun.D. Actions speak louder than words.CTo reduce the carbon emissions from passenger jets and long-haul trucks, a vast volume of soy-based renewable fuel will be needed. To produce it, American farmers could ruin existing cornfields to clear space, plant millions of additional acres of soybeans and shut down all soybean exports. Researchers at startups and biotech giants alike have found ways to create a new kind of soybeans through genetic recombination that generates more oil.One of the startups, ZeaKal Inc., funded in part by seed giant Corteva Inc., plans to introduce its first batch of high-oil seeds for commercial planting in 2024. Scientists have tricked the plant into sustaining photosynthesis for longer with genetic recombination, ultimately producing more oil as well as more protein.Companies are racing to build more capacity to process soy, a critical component for expanding green fuelsupplies. Tax credits make companies in the transportation industry switch to fuel with lower carbon emission.S&P Global sees domestic demand for renewable biofuel reaching 4 billion gallons in 2030, up from around 2.7 billion this year. It projects that the use of sustainable aviation fuel will total 1.7 billion gallons annually by the end of the decade, compared with just 182 million gallons a year now.Despite the bullish predictions, the soy-based transportation fuel market is still a drop in the bucket for the fuel industry. And even if the new breed of high-oil seeds takes off, widespread adoption will take time. Farmers may be reluctant to become early adopters of a technology that hasn’t yet proven its benefits, especially if the oil content comes at the expense of existing genetic recombinations that improve disease or pest resistance.Chicken producer Perdue Farms Inc. has signed a deal with Zeakal, agreeing to pay farmers a higher price for harvested supplies of the new variety, which is good for chicken feed because of its higher protein levels. If large oil companies follow suit, the soybean market might never look the same. “We could have an opportunity for the oil component of soybeans to actually become more important in some markets than the protein aspect,” says Mike Dillon, vice president of ZeaKal, “That’s a very dramatic shift.”8. How did researchers plan to produce more oil?A. By planting more soybeans.B. By banning soybean exports.C. By fertilizing soybean fields.D. By engineering soybean genes.9. What does the author want to show by mentioning the figure in paragraph 3?A. The continuous use of the fuel.B. The growing demand for biofuel.C. The serious lack of green fuel supplies.D. The fierce competition between companies.10. Who can change the current biofuel market according to the last paragraph?A. Companies.B. Farmers.C. Scientists.D. Governments11. Which can be the best title of the text?A. Biofuel: A New Way to Cut Down Carbon EmissionsB. Oilier Soybeans: Possible Reliance of the Future FuelC. A Big Shift: From Conventional Soybeans to Altered OnesD. Genetic Modification: A Technology to Breed New SoybeansDWhenever I order food for delivery, I play a little game to guess how many sets of tableware(餐具)the restaurant will provide with my meal. Sometimes restaurants will throw in two, three or four sets for just one order. But I rarely need any tableware at all, and the waste goes into the trash or collects dust in a kitchen drawer.Researchers working with Chinese technology group Alibaba tried a simple approach to this problem. Instead of just wastefully doling out tableware, the company required food-delivery customers in some cities in China to pick how many sets of tableware they wanted to receive.The default (默认设置)was set at zero. The result, published today in the journal Science, was a 638% increase in the share of no-tableware orders. If applied across China, researchers found, the approach would save nearly 22 billion sets of plastic tableware. The study doesn’t cover carbon emissions, but it’s safe to say that the impact would be significant. It struck me as a useful reminder of the many low-hanging fruits across the economy that can cut waste, and emissions.Nudging its customers cost Alibaba nothing more than a few hours of software engineering time and the impact it brought was immense. The concept of nudging comes from the field of behavioral economics known as nudge theory. It suggests that a slight action can encourage good human behavior without the need for policies that limit choice or economic punishment that raises the cost of bad behavior. To nudge customers to eat better, for example, a restaurant might organize its menu by listing healthy options first and bury unhealthy ones at the bottom. More recently, some big companies like Google have also begun to use nudges to advance climate objectives.Behavioral economics broadly, and nudges more specifically, aren’t without controversy. Some might think it assigns consumers responsibility for addressing environmental challenges. But there is another way to look at it. In the absence of necessary policy—and policy is needed一companies can help encourage a widespread shift of consumer behavior.And all of that behavioral change can add up. The International Energy Agency found in 2021 that small behavioral changes in energy consumption such as walking instead of driving and adjusting the thermostat could in total shave off 4% of global emissions. The more that companies can do to facilitate such changes, the better.12. What did Alibaba do with tableware waste?A. It stopped restaurants from handing out tableware.B. It withdrew unused tableware from customers.C It updated the food -delivery device regularly..D. It allowed picking tableware at customers’ demand.13. What do the underlined words “low-hanging fruits” mean in paragraph 2?A. Easily accessible things.B. Fast increasing orders.C. Exceptionally tough choices.D. Widely accepted strategies.14. What can we learn about nudge theory from paragraph 3?A. It brings about economic loss.B. It results from consumption policies.C. It indicates small action changes behaviour.D. It implies bad behaviour impacts economy.15What is the main idea of the text?.A. Nudge theory affects behaviors.B. Good behaviors boost economy.C. Nudging helps build a greener world.D. Behavioral economics benefits customers.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。

William Gadoury has been crazy about the Mayans for most of his childhood, ever since his grandparents boughthim books about the civilization. What started as a hobby at age 12 snowballed into serious research, and he theorized that the locations of Mayan cities might correspond to stars in Mayan constellations(星座).Using ancient books, Gadoury analyzed 22 Mayan constellation maps and covered the positions onto Google Earth images of the Yucatan Peninsula, which to this day is home to large local populations and some best-preserved architecture from Mayan culture. He would track the constellations from Google Earth using special sheets, covering them onto the position of Mayan cities on a paper map. The teen was able to show that 117 Mayan cities matched up with the position of the stars, with the brightest stars representing bigger cities.But when Gadoury was working on the 23rd Mayan constellation, he found a conflict: three stars, but only two ancient cities on Google Earth. The third star pointed to a location on the Mexico-Belize border. However, the area was covered with thick jungle, leaving Gadoury stuck.Luckily, he asked NASA for images from their RADARSAT-2 satellite. Indeed, there was a square, man-made-looking structure in the heavy forest. Gadoury then learned a fire had swept across the region, thinning out the grass cover. He found images from the agency, and eventually concluded that there was indeed a city there.Gadoury's findings eventually took him into the jungle in 2022 to search on foot, along with scientist Francisco Bell. The team discovered a farming village deep in the Mexican jungle, w hich showed the “backbone” of the Maya's long-term success, which was down to their ability to work the land and support large cities.4. What is Gadoury's finding mainly about?A. The villages in the Mexican jungle.B. The images from NASA satellites.C. The origins of Mayan culture.D. The locations of Mayan cities.5. How did Gadoury carry out his research according to Paragraph 2?A. By tracking the best-preserved building on maps.B. By analyzing 117 Mayan cities in ancient books.C. By checking star maps against satellite images.D. By updating the Google Earth on the Internet.6. What made it difficult for Gadoury to find the third city of the 23rd Mayan stars?A. A thick forest.B. A forest fire.C. Fund shortage.D. Bad weather.7. Which of the following best describes Gadoury?A. Cheerful.B. Intelligent.C. Ambitious.D. Sympathetic.CImagine a new smartphone product. It works the same as any other smartphone, but when dropped, those cracks that appear after an annoying fall slowly begin to fade away, and the phone magically repairs itself、A team of researchers led by chemistry professor Takuzo Aida have found a way to create self-repairing plastics that can be used in smartphones, cars and other products. But their new plastics won't only be used to create unbreakable products, but also help the fight against growing wastes harming the planet.91% of plastic is non-recyclable and filling Earth with waste. The increasing plastic in landfills is a growing concern due to its negative environmental impact. In 2019 about only9% of plastics were recycled globally, leading Japanese scientists to seek to find plastic that can start its own formation or self-repair.The self-repairing plastics are made by adding a tiny amount of a specialized substance into ordinary plastic to hold the monomers(单体) together by hydrogen bonds(氢键). When the new plastic is broken down by heat, instead ofburning to waste, the hydrogen bonds mix and allow for the formation of special shaped monomers to create a foundation for more monomers to layer on and rebuild itself. The team found that their self-healing plastic was able to automatically repair at room temperature over an hour to regain its durability. The team's work suggests great prospects for the future of plastic. “The technique could lead to the development of a made-to-last plastic that does not need to be recycled,” lead professor Aida said at the conference, “and can one day be in products from smartphones to cars and even buildings.”8. What is the special feature of the new plastics?A. Hard to break.B. Cheap to produce.C. Good to health.D. Easy to recycle.9. What drove scientists to search for the new plastics?A. Global warming.B. Industrial needs.C. Economic crisis.D. Green awareness.10. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the new plastic?A. Its social effect.B. Its main function.C. Its working principle.D. Its economic value.11. What is Aida's attitude towards the new plastic?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Disapproving.D. Unconcerned.DRadiocarbon dating has revealed two fake(伪造的) paintings in France—probably the first time the technique has been used in a police investigation. The paintings were supposedly works from around the early twentieth century. But a team led by scientist Lucile Beck at the University of Paris-Saclay dated them to sometime within the past 70 years.The use of radiocarbon dating is gaining popularity, thanks to advances that require smaller samples than ever before. Removing tinier samples from artwork is becoming more palatable to museums and owners of paintings. Ifthere is a chance that a painting is genuine—and therefore valuable—they don't want the collection of larger samples to damage it.All living things take in carbon, including radioactive carbon-14, from the atmosphere and from food. When a plant commonly used to make oil painting cloth dies, the carbon-14 that it contained continues to fall off. Radiocarbon dating measures what's left to estimate the time that's passed, says Mariaelena Fedi, a physicist at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Florence, Italy. Atomic-bomb(原子弹) testing, which began in the 1940s and took off in the 1950s, quickly increased the amount of carbon-l4 in the atmosphere.Carbon-l4 peaked around 1964and went down after a partial ban on nuclear tests. Researchers can easily identify materials containing modern bomb-produced radiocarbon because their carbon-14 concentrations are higher than pre-1950s levels. Beck's team tested its samples to see whether they bore the feature of that bomb-produced radioactive carbon-14.The canvas fiber from the paintings clearly contained carbon from either the mid-1950sor after the year 2000, the researchers reported. Beck acknowledged that, ideally, the team would do further chemical analysis to support its findings, but the researchers were limited by the tight time.12. What does the underlined word “palatable” in P aragraph 2 probably mean?A. Impressive.B. Acceptable.C. Expensive.D. Difficult.13. How does radiocarbon dating work?A. By analyzing samples from artwork.B. By removing the smaller samples.C. By measuring the carbon-14 left.D. By testing the carbon in the sample.14. What can we learn about atomic-bomb testing in Paragraph 4?A. It produces more carbon-14.B. It helps identify fake paintings.C. it reduces carbon concentration.D. It has been stopped completely.15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Paintings waiting to be identifiedB. Two fake paintings found in FranceC. New technology in painting becomes a hitD.

AThere are four youngest athletes who won the gold medal in the Olympics. Their achievements are recorded in the history of professional sports.Marjorie GestringMarjorie Gestring was only 13 years and 268 days old when she won a gold medal for her county. After 1936, the Olympies were sopped for the Second World War. Following the conclusion of the war, she could not qualify for the 1948 London Olympics. Marjorie Gestring would have won more gold medals considering her talent if not for the World War II.Klaus ZertaKlaus Zerta was only 13 years and 283 days old when he won a gold medal at the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy. He cooperated with his teammates Bernhard Knubel and Heinz Renneberg to win the gold medal. Klaus was from West Germany but represented the unified team of Germany at the Olympics. Moreover, he is the youngest confirmed male athlete to win the gold medal in the history of the Summer Olympics,Fu MingxiaChinese female diver Fu Mingxia is popular for being one of the youngest Olympic diving champions. She won a gold medal at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona when she was just 13 years and 345 days old. Her last Olympic gold medal came during the 2000 Sydney Olympics, which emphasized the environmental protection and the reduction in waste. With the fourth gold medal, she joined Americans Pat McCormick and Greg Louganis as the world's only quadruple (四次的) Olympic diving champions.Nadia ComaneciNadia Comaneci is a five time Olympic gold medalist. She is a retired gymnast and one of the youngest athletes to win the gold medal. In 1976, she became the first gymnast to receive a perfect score of 10. She was merely 14 years old when she secured the gold medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Interestingly, back then, a gymnast had to be 14 to participate but later the age limit went up to16.1. Which of the following players played team sports?A. Marjorie Gestring.B. Klaus Zerta.C. Fu Mingxia.D. Nadia Comaneci.2. Which Olympics might come up with the concept of “Green Olympics”?A. The 1948 London Olympics.B. The 1992 Barcelona Olympics.C. The 1976 Montreal Olympics.D. The 2000 Sydney Olympics.3. What can we learn from the text?A. Klaus Zerta defeated Bernhard Knubel and Heinz Renneberg in 1960.B. Fu Mingxia won more Olympic-diving champions than Pat McCormick.C. Marjorie Gestring didn’t participate in the Olympics because of the war in 1948.D. It is impossible to break Nadia Comaneci's record as the youngest gymnast gold medalist.BLately, I’ve been traveling around the world. No longer am I waking up far away from my home, tired from a late night of writing down the stories I collected the day before. Things are different now, and each day my travels begin like this: 1 sit down at my dining table, usually early in the morning or late at night when nobody else is awake, and I listen to the radio.The radio station is always from somewhere that isn't here in New York, and most often it comes from a free-to-use website called Radio Garden. Move your mouse and maybe you will land in Bujumbura, Burundi; in Dibrugarh, India; or on the edge of the South Pacific. Seemingly no matter how large or small the broadcaster is, if it sends out a signal online, it can appear on the site and you can listen to it.During the pandemic, Radio Garden, which is now available as an app, at times attracted as many as 15 million monthly listeners. “We received many heartwarming emails from people stuck at home expressing their gratitude for the service,” said Jonathan Puckey, the site’s founder.Radio Garden began as a project of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, where designers and computer programmers overlaid (覆盖) station streams with their geographical locations on a 3-D map of the world. As a result, there is more than one way to transmit. Visiting a country like Colombia brought back memories of past trips - - romantic accordion music reminding me of bus rides on the rural roads.Where will you visit first on the Radio Garden globe? For me, thrilling as it is to drop in on Ouagadougou or Ulaanbaatar or the Azores, it’s all about personal history: I was born and raised in New York, but my family is from everywhere—Latin America, the Middle East, and places in between. My ancestors were merchants who traded in goods and cultures. Now, because of their wanderings, pieces of six languages still fly across our dinner tables. Thanks to Radio Garden, my family can cross planes of space and time without worry!4. What does the first paragraph focus on?A. The joys of radio travel.B. A scene of traveling by radio.C.

Radio Garden facilitates the development of tourism.CPeople do physical exercise as part of their healthy lifestyle to get stronger and healthier.There are three basic modes of physical exercise: flexibility exercise helps the human body in general or its part in particular to be able to reach farther and bend better; aerobic exercise helps the body work hard for a long time; anaerobic exercise makes the arms and legs stronger.It has long been known that exercise is not only good for your body, but also for your mind. According to researchers, gymnasts are more likely to be emotionally stable, football players the most outgoing and swimmers the happiest.The psychological study, which was carried out by experts, also revealed that sports can also offer clues to a person’s attitude to charity, reading habits and even their voting intentions. Boxers, for example, are most likely to focus on material possessions in life. Meanwhile, runners tend to be outgoing people who love being the centre of attention. Walkers, a group that includes those who enjoy wandering and cross-country races, are least concerned about other people and like doing things by themselves without interruption from others. Those who play chess are confident when they face challenges and trouble. Those who swim tend to be tidy and charitable. However, according to Mind Lab, 61 percent of adults are fond of helping others regardless of their choice of sports.The results. from this study also show that no matter what kind of person you are, there is the right kind of exercise for you,8. Which of the following sports belongs to flexibility exercise?A. Running.B. Swimming.C. Football.D. Gymnastics.9. What can we learn from the text?A. Walkers enjoy loneliness in their lives.B. Boxers tend to ignore wealth in life.C. Runners have great power of concentration.D. Chess players like challenging other people.10. Why does the author mention Mind Lab in Paragraph 4?A. To make a contrast.B. To draw a comparison.C. To place an emphasis.D. To give an example.11. What is the best title for the text?A. How can you choose suitable sports?B. What kind of sports can benefit you most?C. How can sports keep you mentally healthy?D. What does your choice of sports tell about you?DConsumers in the U.S. spend billions of dollars a year on gifts wrapping. Two colleagues and I wondered whether all that time and effort is actually worth it. So we conducted three experiments to explore the impact of gift wrapping.In the first experiment, we involved 180 students, who were given a gift—a coffee cup with the logo of one of two NBA basketball teams, the local Miami Heat or rival (竞争对手) Orlando Magic. Every participant was a fan of the Heat and they obviously didn't support the Magic. We gave half of the students a desirable gift, while the others received something they disliked. Finally, half of the gifts were wrapped neatly, while the rest looked sloppy (凌乱的).We found that those who received a sloppily wrapped gift liked their present significantly more than those who received a neatly wrapped gift—regardless of which cup they got.To understand why, we asked another set of students to report their expectations about either a neatly or sloppily wrapped gift. Results showed that expectations were significantly higher for the neatly wrapped gifts. However, receivers of the neatly wrapped gift reported that it failed to live up to their expectations, while those who got the sloppily wrapped gift said it surpassed (超过) their expectations.In our final experiment, we surveyed 261 adults and asked them to imagine receiving either a neatly or sloppily wrapped gift. This time we instructed half of them to imagine the gift was from a close friend, while the other half believed it came from an acquaintance (熟人). Then we revealed the gift and asked them to rate it.When it came from a close friend, receivers ended up liking the sloppily wrapped gift more. However, for the gift from an acquaintance, receivers preferred it when it was neatly wrapped. This occurs because these participants used the wrapping as a cue for how much the gift-giver values their relationship.So if you’re stressed over gift wrapping this holiday season, consider saving yourself effort and money by wrapping your friends’ gifts haphazardly (随意地). But for someone you don’t know quite as well, it’s probably worth it to show that you put in some effort to make it look good with all of the beautiful bows.12. What did the researchers find in the first experiment?A. A desirable gift is expected to be wrapped sloppily.B. Participants were more interested in neatly wrapped gifts.C. A soppily wrapped gift can make the receiver much happier.D. Participants responded the same to gifts with different wrappings.13. Why did the researchers carry out the second experiment?A. To further explain the result of the first experiment.B. To compare receivers’ expectations for the same gifs.C. To know why receivers have different expectations for gifs.D. To find out the impact of wrapping on receives’ expectations.14. What do neatly wrapped gifts show according to the third experiment?A. The gift giver is very skilled at wrapping gifts,B. The gift giver has a close relationship with the receiver.C. The gift giver attaches great importance to the relationship.D. The gift giver wants to become a close friend of the receiver.15. What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?A. To give examples.B. To make suggestions.C. To make comparisons.D. To present an argument.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。

Sir Nicholas Winton was a British man who went to heroic efforts, potentially putting himself at risk, during World War II. Sir Winton was responsible for ensuring the safety of six hundred and sixty-nine Jewish children by aiding their escape from countries occupied by Nazis. Finally, the Jewish children were brought to England where he worked to make sure families in his native country would help the kids by taking them into their homes.Recently, this unbelievable story has again been making the rounds on the Internet, particularly after a rerun of the BBC show called “That’s Life”, which featured Sir Winton. People around the world were moved at the details of the story, with saying it to be the best story they’ve ever seen.Sir Winton kept his entire plan completely secret, even his wife had no idea about hisplanning until fifty years later. After the war, years passed and many people remained in t he dark about Sir Winton’s extraordinary achievement. Some fifty years later, his wife Greta was searching in their house and discovered a Winton’s notebook which documented the names of all the children. She worked with BBC and they produced a TV episode (插曲) of their program “That’s Life” that served as an honor for Sir Winton’s work. In 2003, Sir Winton was knighted by the Queen of England for his work. He also was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. He also had a small planet named after him by Czech astronomers. Sir Winton died peacefully in his sleep at the old age of one hundred and six, in 2015. Leaders around the world paid tribute (悼念).

Creating a special art form to express their philosophies of life.31. What is the author’s attitude to Murano Glass masters’ works?A. Critical.B. Admirable.C. Cautious.D. Aggressive.DSome people get worried when faced with simple math problems. And they may rely more heavily on certain brain circuits than people who do not experience such math anxiety. That’s the finding of a new study. Using a different mental approach might he lpexplain why people with math anxiety struggle more with complex problems.To figure out what was going on, researchers placed adults in a brain-scanning device. Called a functional magnetic resonance (磁共振) imaging machine, it measures blood flow in the brain. This lets researchers see which brain regions are active at a particular point in time. For the new study, the study recruited (招募) people with and without math anxiety. All of the adults were asked to answer whether simple math problems were correct or not. Both groups had similar response time. Each group also was equally accurate. The brain scans, however, turned up some differences.In people who weren’t anxious about math, there was less activity in one brain region. It is called the frontoparietal (额顶的), attention network. It is involved in working memory and the solving of problems.People who relied on this circuit less were probably getting ahead by automating simple math, said Hyesang Chang. She’s a cognitive neuroscientist who works at t he University of Chicago in Illinois. She reported her team’s findings on March 25 here at the annual meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society.People who get anxious over math showed more varied brain activity overall. That led Chang to consider that these people might be handling math problems in a different way. Their brains might be using a variety of approaches—and in ways that use more brain resources. This general approach works fine for simple math, she said. But the brains of those with math anxiety might get maxed out when the math is more challenging.32. According to the text, people who experience math anxiety may .A. have better working memoryB. solve math problems inaccuratelyC. suffer more injuries in face of complex problemsD. have more activity in the frontoparietal attention network33. Researchers did the study with the help of .A. some experts on networkB. the University of ChicagoC. some people doing well in mathD. a magnetic resonance imaging machine34. What does Hyesang Chang agree with?A. There is no certain way to change the level of math anxiety.B. Using more brain resources can help solve more challenging math problems.C. People with math anxiety use more brain resources to handle math problems.D. People relying on the frontoparietal attention network less have better math grades.35. What may be the best title for the text?A. How to learn math betterB. How does people’s brain react to math problems?C. What researchers find about people’s brainD. What should people do to avoid math anxiety?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。
