The technology could be used on both Google Android phones and Apple iPhones.The companies insist that they will preserve smart phone users' privacy and their technology will be used only by public health authorities to trace the spread of COVID- 19. Smart phone users can choose to use it. The software will not collect data on users' physical locations or their personally identifiable information. People who test positive would remain unknown to the public, both to the people who came in contact with them and to Apple and Google.“Privacy is of greatest importance in this effort," the companies said in a joint statement.The American Civil Libertics Union has warned that using cellphone data to handle the pandemic carries risks of “destruction of privacy”. In a statement on Friday, ACLU cyber security counsel Jennifer Granick said, The system also can't work well if people don 't trust it”. She said that the joint Apple and Google project “appears to reduce the worst privacy risks, but there is still room for improvement.” She added that the contact tracing app should be used only for public health purposes and only for the duration of this pandemic.Public health officials say the contact tracing -finding people who have been in contact with an infected person will be a key step in lifting shelter in-place restrictions.It would allow people who are known to have been exposed to the virus to isolate themselves, while letting others recover normal activities.24. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advertise for public health.B. To introduce a contact tracing system.C. To warn the public of risks of COVID-19.D. To raise people's awareness of privacy protection.25. What do the companies promise to do in particular?A. Warn people who test positive.B. Protect infected people's privacy.C. Work with public health authorities.D. Collect data on users physical locations.26. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggest?A. Public health issues are traced accurately.B. Only people's trust influences the system.C. The system is at the risk of being destroyed.D. Jennifer thinks the system should be better.27. The system is mainly designed toA. ensure infected people's recoveryB. guarantee people's normal activitiesC. help prevent the spread of COVID-19D. encourage all the people to isolate themselvesThe U.S. Postal Service (USPS) continues to bleed red ink. It reported a net loss of $5.6 billion for fiscal 2016, the 10th straight year its expenses have exceeded revenue. Meanwhile, it has more than $ 120 billion in unfunded liabilities, mostly for employee health and retirement costs. There are many bankruptcies. Fundamentally, the USPS is in a historic squeeze between technological change that has permanently decreased demand for its bread-and-butter product, first-class mail, and a regulatory structure that denies management in the flexibility to adjust its operations to the new reality.And interest groups ranging from postal unions to greeting-card makers exert self-interested pressure on the USPS's ultimate overseer-Congress-insisting that whatever else happens to the Postal Service, aspects of the status quo they depend on get protected. This is why repeated attempts at reform legislation have failed in recent years, leaving the Postal Service unable to pay its bills except by deferring vital modernization.Now comes word that everyone involved--Democrats, Republicans, the Postal Service, the unions and the system's heaviest users--has finally agreed on a plan to fix the system. Legislation is moving through the House that would save USPS an estimated $28.6 billion over five years, which could help pay for new vehicles, among other survival measures. Most of the money would come from a penny-per-letter permanent rate increase and from shifting postal retirees into Medicare. The latter step would largely offset the financial burden of annually pre-funding retiree health care, thus addressing a long-standing complaint by the USPS and its union.If it clears the House, this measure would still have to get through the Senate--where someone is bound to point out that it amounts to the bare, bare minimum necessary to keep the Postal Service afloat, not comprehensive reform. There s no change to collective bargaining at the USPS, a major omission considering that personnel accounts for 80 percent of the agency’s costs. Also missing is any discussion of eliminating Saturday letter delivery. That common-sense change enjoys wide public support and would save the USPS $2 billion per year. But postalspecial-interest groups seem to have killed it, at least in the House. The emerging consensus around the bill is a sign that legislators are getting frightened about a politically embarrassing short-term collapse at the USPS. It is not, however, a sign that they’re getting serious about transforming the postal system for the 21st century.28. The financial problem with the USPS is caused partly byA. its unbalanced budgetB. its rigid managementC. the cost for technical upgradingD. the withdrawal of bank support29. The long-standing complaint by the USPS and its unions can be addressed byA. removing its burden of retiree health careB. making more investment in new vehiclesC. adopting a new rate-increase mechanismD. attracting more first-class mail users30. In the last paragraph, the author seems to view legislators withA. respectB. toleranceC. discontentD. gratitude31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. The USPS Starts to Miss Its Good Old Days.B. The Postal Service: Keep Away from My Cheese.C. The USPS: Chronic Illness Requires a Quick Cure.D. The Postal Service Needs More than a Band-Aid.DOne of the classic science- fiction treatments of the end of civilization was The Death of Grass, by John Christopher, in which a mysterious sickness struck down all the grasses on which most of the world's agriculture is based, from rice to wheat. In the end, politics among the survivors of disease, war and famine were reduced to bitter fratricidal ( 手足相残) struggle over a defensible potato patch. Like most of the so-called "comfortable disaster" novels, this could be criticized for optimism. Depressing as a future of famine and the war of all against all might seem, the consequences were largely limited to humans.However, the threatened extinction of insect populations around the world raises the prospect of a much less general disaster, which would involve plants, birds, fish, small mammals, and everything else depending on insects. That's just the start, other species, and we ourselves, depend on the animals and plants that need insects. When they go, we go. This is not just a greater disaster. It's a much more reasonable one. The most recent study has concluded that insect biomass is decreasing around the world at a rate of 2.5% a year. At that rate, half the insects in the world will be gone in 50 years' time, and all of them in a century - though no one will be keeping track of centuries then.The chief driver of this disaster is unchecked human greed. In spite of our individual and even collective cleverness, we behave as a species with as little foresight as a colony of nematode (线虫) worms that will consume everything that it can reach until all is gone and it dies off naturally. The challenge of behaving more intelligently than creatures that have no brain at all will not be easy. But unlike the nematodes, we know what to do. The UN convention on biodiversity was signed in 1992, alongside the convention on climate change. Giving it the strength to hold back our appetites is now urgent. Biodiversity is not an optional extra. It is the web that holds all life, including human life.The two main expressions of greed that speed this apocalypse ( 世界末日) are global warming and industrial agriculture. It appears that most of the damage is being done in the developed world by farming practices. The use of giant fields, lack of shelter for insects of any sort at all, whether they are harmful to human interests or not, and where the plants are drenched in long-lasting pesticides, is fatal for uncounted billions of insects. The effects of this kind of farming reach beyond the fields immediately affected, too. There has been a huge loss of aquatic insect species from the rivers into which the products of industrial agriculture are flushed by rain. Even in German nature reserves, which are by definition protected from the use of pesticides, there have been steep falls in insect populations because so many of the most widely used ones are persistent and prevent breeding.32. Which of the following statements about The Death of Grass is true?A. It holds an optimistic attitude towards famine in the future.B. It understates the severity of the disaster facing the world.C. It gives a vivid account of the most serious famine in history.D. It demonstrates how evil human nature turns out to be.33. In paragraph 2, the writer mentions the most recent study in order toA. prove that the prediction about the great disaster makes senseB. show how soon the insects worldwide will go extinctC. argue for the necessity to protect insect populationsD. suggest a possible approach to increasing insect biomass34. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Humans are similar to nematode in that both of them lack foresight.B. We haven't done enough about maintaining biodiversity.C. Modern farming is to blame for the threatened extinction of insects.D. Germany sets a good example by minimizing the use of pesticides.35. What will the author probably discuss after the last paragraph?A. How industrial agriculture brings about apocalypse.B. What influence pesticides may have on people's lives.C. Why insect populations in Germany are on the decline.D. Where unchecked human greed can also be spotted.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。

Jeremy dropped his head down, tense and speechless. At the thought of losing his father’s app roval, a sense of failure overcome him and surged through him , tears falling onto the silent ground. “ Son , tell me what’s the matter?” murmured the father , gathering Jeremy into his arms “You like duck hunting, don’t you?” . Jeremy explained that he d idn’t like hunting at all and how excit ing it was to stroll with him and take photos as usual, then up went the boy’s head ,through his misty eyes , he witnessed his father turning and leaving.Paragraph 2:To Jeremy's surprise, his father was handing the camera to him. “ Sorry , I thought you were fond of hunting just like me.” apologized the father, putting the camera on the boy’s palms .

Having taking away the gun , the father bathed in the warm glow of radiant sunshine. He could hear the chirps of the birds and laughter from his son. It suddenly dawned on him that he was full of himself in showing his love to his son. 听力材料(Text 1)M: Did you attend the reception last night?W: I would have gone if I had been free.M: You didn’t miss anything. I wish I had been somewhere else more interesting.(Text 2)M: Katie, I waited for you for ages.W: I left home in plenty of time, but then there was a car accident and the bus got stuck for ages. So decided to get off and walk. Sorry! I should have taken the subway.(Text 3)W: Has your aunt left, David?M: Yes, she went back home on the 17th. She was meant to come on the 13th but something happened, so it wasn’t till the 15th.(Text 4)W: Could you draw up these contracts for me? I have a meeting with the customer in the afternoon.M: I’m leaving to catch a flight in about 30 minutes. Hawkins is sending me to visit the Chicago office. I only came in to get some papers.(Text 5)M: I’d like to get a plant for the office and don’t want something I have to water frequently. I’m not sure what kind to get.W: I can help you with that. How about those flowers?M: No, I’m allergic to so me of them.(Text 6)M: Are you taking any vacation in the next few months?W: I’m not sure. Why do you ask?M: I’m trying to create a schedule of vacations.W: Well, our kids are out of school in August, but I was thinking of going away in October. I can’t go before then. I have to wait until after the end-of-September marketing conference. It’s only January now, so I guess we don’t have to worry about that yet.(Text 7)M: Excuse me, I seem to have lost my boarding pass. I ate lunch at the food court just after I had checked in. I must have thrown it away with the garbage.W: I see. I can print out another one for you. What’s your name, sir?M: It’s Frank Dobbs. I’m on the flight from here to Chicago that leaves around 3:00.W: All right. I’ll just need to see your identification before I can print your new boarding pass.(Text 8)M: Well, that was interesting. Four very different candidates. My feeling is that Cameron has the highest qualifications, and he’s obviously the most experienced. What do you thin k? W: But I felt he wasn’t as enthusiastic as the others. My guess is that he is looking for a more challenging job.M: How about Karine and Amy?W: They’re both young with little experience. Karine only just finished her training but she seemed the most enthusiastic. However, she was not as confident as the others. Amy speaks French and Spanish well, and I noticed that she does much more sport than the others.M: Yes, I see what you mean. And finally, Hector.W: He expects the highest salary. His qualifica tions aren’t as good as Cameron’s and his previous head teacher says he is the least punctual! He’s probably the worst candidate of the four. So, decision time!(Text 9)M: Dr. Warner, I want to ask about applying for awards. I’m interested in the FBT Awar d. W: You have to satisfy a number of criteria. First, you have to be under 25 years old.M: I won’t be 25 until next year. So that’s okay.

So they expect you to tell them afterwards.M: Do I need any referees?W: Yes, two. Five students can win the FBT Award.M: What about the Bisiker Award?W: It is a lot stricter, as it’s for a much larger sum of money.M: I heard it’s not easy to get one as there are only three per year.W: You’re right. The application is by way of a 5,000 word summary outlining how you plan to use the money, accompanied by your personal details. One thing that I would stress is that there have been complaints before about the lack of care taken in completing the forms and essays. This applies to you too. The application must be typed and tidy.M: I see. Thanks.(Text 10)Good evening. Welcome to this planning meeting for the festival! Whether you’re a performer, a craft exhibitor or an artist, we all extend a big welcome to you.First, let me familiarize you with the site. Please look at the map.

江苏省扬州市广陵区扬州中学2024-2025学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题
江苏省扬州市广陵区扬州中学2024-2025学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Best Overall: LectroFan EVO Sound MachineWhy Y ou Should Get ItThis compact, stylish, and affordable white noise machine is very easy to use. With a timer, a headphone connector, and a large range of sounds, you’ll be able to find the right set up for you. That’s where it comes in to mask all that unwanted environmental noise—or lack of—so you can get more rest.Keep in MindThe device isn’t battery-operated, so it’ll need to stay plugged into a power source.It does everything you need it to, and then some, for a very reasonable price. It plays non-repeating digital noise in a range of colors: It has 10 fan sounds, 10 environmental noise sounds—including pink and brown noise, and two ocean soundscapes.The device is super simple to use, and once you’ve picked your favorite type of noise, it will be saved in the settings, and the machine will auto play that sound each time you turn it on. The speaker produces a clear and crisp sound, and there’s a wide volume range. It also comes with an optional timer you can set between one to eight hours, or play continuously, plus a 3.5mm connector for headphones if your partner isn’t quite as keen on white noise as you are.It’s compact enough to travel everywhere with you, and as white noise machines go, it looks pretty good, too. It certainly won’t look out of place on your bedside table. You can power the LectroFan EVO via USB or the included A/C adaptor, but it doesn’t have an internal battery, so it does need to be plugged in.Price at time of publish: $35Product Details: Dimensions: It’s 4.7 inches long and 3. 3 inches in height. Its width is the same as its length. | Sound options: 22 | Timer: Yes | Power: Plug-in1.What is the device mentioned used to do?A.Avoid noises.B.Enjoy nature.C.Help sleep well.D.Listen to music. 2.What do we know about the device from the text?A.It works with batteries.B.It doesn’t disturb others.C.It has one nature noise.D.Its timer’s set up is fixed.3.How wide is the device?A.3.3 inches.B.4.7 inches.C.6. 8 inches.D.10 inches.When I was five, I once peeled off the paper that enveloped my crayons and snapped them in two. My great enthusiasm was dampened to find just more crayon inside. When I started writing words with pencils, I would twist them inside a sharpener to see if the pencil lead went all the way through the body. Growing up, I saw my television taken apart to reveal the inner workings that only made sense when I did a degree in physics.Then I landed a career in engineering, spending six years as part of the team that designed the Shard, a famous building in London. Actually, whether I knew it or not, I was already on a mission to understand how things are formed.After exploring the big, I decided to turn to the small. I realized whatever matter forms human-made objects, complex devices are made up of fundamental building blocks, without which our complex machinery wouldn’t exist.It is this idea that inspired my book where I select what I believe are seven core elements that form the basis of the world-the nail, the wheel, the spring, the magnet, the lens, the pump and the string. Together they compose a vast range of innovations in terms of their underlying (潜在的) scientific principles and the fields of engineering they touch. They’ve changed our technology, and had a sweeping impact on our history, arts, culture, communication, political and power structures, etc.The blender we use to make baby’s food relies on gears (齿轮), which couldn’t exist without the wheel. The speaker on the phone relies on a magnet. Even when we think of larger and more complex objects-diggers, skyscrapers, satellites-we come back to the same seven foundational innovations.So, look around you, and ask questions about what you see: reignite(重燃) that childhood curiosity. Hopefully, that will inspire you to investigate and lead you to a better understanding of the building blocks of our world.4.Why does the author mention crayons in paragraph 1?A.To explain his choice of college major.B.To demonstrate his fascination with tools.C.To highlight his disappointment at the discovery.D.To show his early passion for the insides of objects.5.What made the author’s book possible?A.His experience in designing buildings.B.His understanding of the origin of things.C.His finding of the components of machinery.D.His perspective on the operation of the world.6.What do we know about the seven core elements?A.They throw light on scientific principles.B.They have a profound influence on society.C.They mark an era of technological innovation.D.They represent the advancement in engineering.7.What can be the best title for the text?A.Small Things That Count B.Big Dreams That RewardC.Ask the Right Questions D.Understand Core ElementsI don’t think translation apps will make learning foreign languages completely outdated. No program can accurately recreate the implication of real conversation. For example, by dropping “will” or “am going to” in “Tomorrow I start my diet,” I am implying a previous delay of the diet. A typical translation by apps would be “Tomorrow I am going to start my diet,” which gets across the basic idea but lacks the intended implication.However, technology is eliminating the need to learn foreign languages for practical purposes such as re serving hotel rooms or ordering meals in a foreign country, since practicality is why most people want to learn a new language.Douglas Hofstadter, a cognitive scientist, sees his mastery of foreign languages as a reflection of his identity. As an enthusiastic language learner myself, I don’t entirely share his perspective, but I do agree with the writer Graeme Wood, who has noted “to actively enjoy piecing together how other languages work is an individual quirk (怪癖), not a human universal.” True enthusiasts learn new languages for the sheer joys of discovery or accomplishment. Most people, however, are uninterested in this odd desire.Some would say a foreign language is a window into a new way of processing the world. But did the humble level of French or Spanish we picked up in school provide us with a new lens on the world? If our goal is getting directions to the bus station in Rome, technology now makes that possible at the press of a button.As someone endlessly fascinated by languages, I am working hard to accept this new reality. With an iPhone handy and an appropriate app downloaded, foreign languages will no longer present most people with the barrier they once did. Learning a new language will likely become a pursuit of interest to a much smaller but more committed set of enthusiasts.8.What is paragraph 1 mainly about?A.The function of real conversation.B.The importance of accurate translation.C.The limitation of translation technology.D.The necessity of learning foreign languages. 9.Why does the author learn new languages?A.To satisfy an inner desire.B.To display his individuality.C.To serve practical purposes.D.To explore his core identity.10.What does the author think of foreign language lessons in school?A.Uninspiring.B.Irrelevant.C.Inflexible.D.Insufficient. 11.What does “this new reality” in the last paragraph refer to?A.Language enthusiasts will lose their passion.B.Foreign languages won’t pose big challenges.C.Many people will quit learning new languages.D.Learning languages is no longer a personal choice.Is forgiveness against our human nature? To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essence of our humanity? For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views of humanity. The first view involves dominance and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans’ essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them.The second view involves the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as thebasis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony?From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.As an important note, when we take a Classical philosophical perspective, that of Aristotle, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, its actual appropriation in conflict situations, develops with practice.12.What is Droll’s idea about forgiveness?A.People should offer mercy to others.B.People who forgive can have their own welfare affected.C.Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity.D.Aggressive people should learn to forgive.13.What does the example in Paragraph 2 illustrate?A.To forgive is to love.B.To fight is to grow.C.To dominate is to harm.D.To give is to receive.14.What is the writer’s attitude toward forgiveness?A.Objective.B.Reserved.C.Favorable.D.Skeptical. 15.What is message of the last paragraph?A.Forgiveness is in our nature.B.Forgiveness grows with time.C.Actuality is based on potentiality.D.It takes practice to forgive.Sometimes, it’s good to be bored“I am dying of boredom,” complains the young wife Yelena in Chekhov’s 1897 play Uncle Vanya. Of course, if Yelena were around today, we know what she would do: pull out her smartphone and find something fun. Today it is easy to get rid of boredom. 16 That is the finding of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinkings. The result? 17 In the second study, subjects gave more answers to a word test than a non-bored control group after being forced to watch a dull screensaver.“An restless mind hungers for stimulation, so boredom becomes a seeking state,” says Sandi Mann, the psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. “ 18 ” Parents will tell you that kids with “nothing to do” will eventually invent some fun games to play — with a cardboard box, a light switch, whatever.The problem, the researchers worry, is that these days we don’t struggle to overcome these slow moments. “ 19 ” Mann says. “This might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking.” So here is an idea: Instead of always avoiding boredom, embrace and face it. Sometimes, anyway. Mann has found she gets some of her best thinking done when she is driving her car and therefore can’t be distracted by her phone.20 The good type inspires you to see what can come of it. The bad type, in contrast, tires you and makes you feel like you can’t be bothered to do anything. An important part of our modern task, then, is learning to evaluate these different types of boredom — to distinguish the useful kind from the harmful one.A.And there is, of course, bad boredom.B.Bored subjects came up with more creative ideas.C.But what if boredom is a meaningful experience?D.These moments are a lot more valuable than expected.E.Actually, tips on getting away from boredom are countless.F.We try to kill every moment of boredom with mobile devices.G.When not satisfied with your state, you’re seeking and engaged.二、完形填空Back in the days when I was just a young student, I was always absent from school 21 , too shy to step into the public attention. My grades, though not absolutely good, was above the 22 . However, an unexpected incident allowed me to 23 life lessons and gradually accept the challenges thrown at me.One rainy afternoon, while walking home from school, an accident happened.
