If you were small enough you could sit down by drawing your knees to your chest. Otherwise, you washed yourself standing up. Often all the women and girls in the family bathedtogether. Then the men and boys did. In most families this was Saturday night because Sundays they went to church.A small number of families did have running water. But that depended on whether there was a water system where they lived and on whether they could afford the plumbing<水管设施>. Some people had bathtubs in their homes as early as 1895. But many others did not have their first bath in a bathtub until 1910 or later when they were fifteen or sixteen years old.56In the first paragraph, "took care of" means ""。

It was quite a big Mississippi flood ever recorded.In St.Louis, Missouri, 9,000 people were forced to leave their homes while the city was in danger. St. Louis is just downriver from the points where the Missouri and Illinois Rivers flow into the Mississippi. All three rivers were flooding. But the city escaped the worst when levees (堤) broke upriver. A levee is built of river sand and clay(粘⼟).Eleven miles of flood walls were built in the late 1960's The walls are 18 inches thick and 5 to 22 feet high. They were designed to protect against a 52-foot flood. In St. Louis, water almost reached the top of flood walls. It measured 49.4 feet.41.The flood referred to in the passage _____.A. was the heaviest one in the historyB. happened in Missouri and Illinois statesC. happened in less than twenty percent of the states of U.S.A.D. was recorded several times42.

They hoped to get a bottle cap with the winning number on it. In May 1992, the number was announced: 349. Thousands rushed to get their reward with their bottle caps worth a million pesos (about US $ 40,000) each.But Pepsi wouldn't pay. The company said there was a mistake. The numbers on the caps did not include a security code (保险号), so the caps were not really winners. Up to 800,000 bottle caps had the number 349.Pepsi has spent millions of dollars on the problem. The company has paid 54 million pesos to real winners. It also paid 500 pesos for each No.349 cap without the security code.44. Which of the following is not true?A.

It was large, fairly out of date, run ( 经营 ), like its parent company in London, by a group of relatives. Being only a member of the store for a short time, I was in a very fortunate position. The others, particularly the older members of the store, were naturally asked to produce good sales figures. I was more of an observer. If I made a sale, I was pleased, but if I didn't, I would not be blamed. I was really there to observe and learn, and as I had no interest in making a position in the furniture business, I wasn't too diligent (勤奋) about that either. One salesman in late middle age once expressed his insecurity (不安全感) by scolding me of trying to steal one of his customers (雇客). Nothing could have been further from the truth, but he demanded that I go to the stockroom (货仓) with him to settle the matter. He was very small and thin, but to my surprise he started dancing about among the carpets and closets working his arms wildly and calling on me to 'put them up'. I couldn't put anything up ---I was too busy rolling on a four-foot six - inch spring mattress (弹簧垫⼦) , helpless with laughter.

2023年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟考试(二)英语试卷(含答案)

2023年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟考试（二）英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解The number of passengers varies among airports, with some airports serving tens of millions of passengers. Interestingly, some of the busiest airports in the country are not necessarily the biggest by surface area.Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)Atlanta Airport has been the world's busiest airport since 1998. Approximately 104 million people traveled through it in 2019, 20 million passengers more than the second busiest airport. ATL is located 11 kilometers away from Atlanta and named after Maynard Jackson and William Hartsfield, Atlanta's two former mayors.Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)DFW Airport is located between Dallas and Fort Worth, covering 69.63 square kilometers. In 2019, the airport served 75 million passengers, the most in its 45 years of existence. It has service to over 250 destinations, the majority being domestic destinations within the country. The airport has its fire protection unit, zip code, police, and emergency services.McCarran International Airport (LAS)Located approximately 8 kilometers south of Las Vegas, it occupies 11.3 square kilometers. It was constructed in 1942 and opened to flights in 1948. LAS is now the 9th busiest airport in the US, serving over 51 million passengers in 2019. Initially, the runways were made of asphalt(沥青), but are now made of concrete.Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT)CLT Airport was opened in 1935 as Charlotte Municipal Airport. 19 years later, it was renamed after Ben Elbert Douglas, Charlotte's mayor, when the airport was expanded. The present name was given to the airport in 1982. CLT is located about 10 kilometers from Charlotte and is an airport for military and commercial use.1、Which is the best airport to go to for people who need immediate help？A. ATL.B. DFW.C. LAS.D. CLT.2、What's mentioned about LAS？A. Its present runways have been upgraded.B. It took six years to prepare for construction.C. Its original asphalt runways caused the accident.D. It received the most passengers in the world in 2019.3、What do ATL and CLT have in common？A. They are for commercial purpose only.B. They are the world's busiest airports.C. They are related to people's names.D. They were built by former mayors.If someone had told me five years ago that I would be living happily ever after on a small farm in western Oklahoma, I would have immediately denied the possibility. Back then, I was a confirmed city girl. I enjoyed the city life.Then one day, while we were checking my mother's farm for her, I looked around, liked what I saw and asked my husband, “Why don't we build a house here on the farm?”To my surprise, he said, “Yes!”And so we began a new and very different chapter in our life story. My husband and I set out to deal with the land. We took down dead trees, knocked down the outbuildings and planted vegetable and flower gardens. We learned new skills as we worked and provided the locals with humorous moments as they answered our questions. We built a home to welcome family and friends, to share the beauty and bounty of the land.We soon realized the land had played a joke on us: it had changed and transformed us in our efforts to change it. We lost weight and gained muscles.We've learned to recognize and honor nature's cycles and timing instead of clocks, calendars, schedules and to-do lists. With only two clocks in the house, we enjoy the flow of days into nights. Our timeless life allows us to appreciate sunrises and sunsets—each a unique event that camera and words only partially capture.Living a simple life in the country has led us back to common sense. We've learned to be resourceful in solving problems and can think of many unique ways. I become better at handling a situation with fewer resources and conveniences.In the quietness of the land, we hear and appreciate nature's music. We also listen to the silence. Walking through the grasses, gazing at the century-old trees and wondering about all the changes and history they have witnessed are relaxing pastimes. I have to be truthful: caring for the land is a joyful job.4、How did her husband react to the author's proposal?A. Opposed.B. Approving.C. Surprised.D. Concerned.5、How did the author benefit from the country life?A. She enjoyed better health.B. She made much money by working.C. She regained the respect from the farmers.D. She improved her relationship with her family.6、What is the author's feeling when living in the country?A. She becomes more creative.B. She becomes more humorous.C. She becomes more honest with others.D. She becomes more interested in travelling.7、What message does the author want to convey?A. Simple life is the most important.B. Country life is better than city life.C. Getting close to nature can be joyful.D. Living in the country is everyone's dream.If you are a perfectionist, you are probably familiar with the feeling of wanting to get everything just right. You may struggle with handing in papers, agonize over projects at work, and even worry about small errors from the past. High standards are one thing, but perfectionism is quite another. And as some researchers have discovered, pursuing perfection can have serious consequences to both mental and physical well-being.According to researchers, perfectionists hold themselves to unrealistically high standards and become self-critical if they believe they haven't met these standards. Perfectionists are also likely to feel guilt and shame if they experience failures, which often leads them to avoid situations where they are worried they might fail.In one study, researchers looked at a total of 284 studies (with over 57, 000 participants) and found that perfectionism was associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and eating disorders. They also found that people higher in perfectionism (i.e. participants who more strongly identified with perfectionist traits) also reported higher levels of overall psychological distress.In an article published in 2016, researchers looked at how perfectionism and depression were related over time. They found that people higher in perfectionism tended to have increases in depression symptoms, which suggests that perfectionism may be a risk factor for developing depression. In other words, although people may think of their perfectionism as something that helps them succeed, it appears that their perfectionism may actually be harmful for their mentalhealth.Since perfectionism is associated with negative outcomes, what can someone with perfectionist tendencies do to change their behavior? Although people are sometimes hesitant to give up their perfectionist tendencies, psychologists point out that giving up on perfection doesn't mean being less successful. In fact, because mistakes are an important part of learning and growing, embracing imperfection can actually help us in the long run.8、Why does the author describe the scene in the first paragraph？A. To introduce the topic.B. To make comparisons.C. To support the author's argument.D. To define a concept.9、Who can be defined as a perfectionist？A. A person who is determined to achieve high goals.B. A person who tends to feel sorry for what he has done.C. A person who blames himself for not being that successful.D. A person who holds high standards for themselves.10、How can perfectionism be harmful？A. It may lower one's mental health.B. It reflects one's psychological level.C. It results in depression immediately.D. It stops one from recovering from depression.11、What will be discussed in the following paragraph？A. A call for not being a perfectionist.B. Another side-effect of perfectionism.C. Why perfectionism is harmful.D. How to avoid perfectionism.Some issues like climate change or the ongoing pandemic(大流行病)are increasingly complex and dynamic. Yet solving problems like these requires new approaches that extend beyond traditional ways of thinking. A study led by Yale Professor of Psychology, Paul O'Keefe, found that having a growth mindset(思维模式) of interest may activate this type of innovation.Professor O'Keefe established in earlier studies that people hold different beliefs about the nature of interest. Those with a growth mindset of interest tend to believe that interests can be developed and cultivated, while those with a fixed mindset of interest tend to believe that interests are inborn and simply need to be “found”.For example, in one task, research participants were instructed to create new college majors by combining two or more existing academic Arts or Science programs at theiruniversity. After coding and analyzing the ideas they generated, the team found that peoplesciences to create new majors like computational economics rather than creating majors that drew from only one of those areas, like computational chemistry.As Professor O'Keefe pointed out, “This research provides a useful direction for organizations whose products and services call for creative solutions. Take smartphones for example. You need not only computer science and engineering knowledge, but also an understanding of psychology and visual design to create a better product. Employees with a growth mindset may be more likely to frame innovative ideas that bridge multiple areas of knowledge to achieve better solutions.”The benefits of a growth mindset of interest may also extend to those seeking employment. This is a pressing issue because many people are becoming unemployed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Having a growth mindset of interest can help job seekers expand their interests and become more adaptable to different fields, and tend to learn new skills.12、What's the author's opinion about the world today？A. It is witnessing various types of innovations.B. It is undergoing great and profound changes.C. It faces more varied and complicated problems.D. It has removed many traditional ways of thinking.13、What can best replace the underlined the word “bridge”？A. Study.B. Plan.C. Choose.D. Connect.14、What does the author want to illustrate with the example of smartphones？A. Hi-tech products can boost people's general thinking.B. Hi-tech products are needed in multi-subject research.C. Improved technology gives birth to highly popular products.D. Making innovative products needs knowledge of many fields.15、What is the author's suggestion to those who are seeking employment？A. Learning practical skills.B. Broadening their interests.C. Staying safe in the pandemic.D. Knowing their pressing issues.二、七选五16、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。

2023届广东省大湾区普通高中毕业班联合模拟考试(二)英语试题

I went on to study Environmental Science at university, and became interested in marine (海洋的) biology when I did my master's degree. That's when I realised that there was a possibility to do more for Hong Kong.In Hong Kong, many people would associate marine life only with seafood, and few people would consider it as a part of nature to be appreciated. Although our marine life is highly diverse, our waters have been overfished for more than 40 years. Records show that, decades ago, Hong Kong had such high production of seafood that it supported about 90% of the local demand. Today, at least 90% of the seafood we eat has to be imported to meet local demand, as our waters are so overfished that they can no longer support the local appetite.Despite this shift, we are still a city in love with seafood-according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Hong Konng has the second highest annual seafood consumption per capita (人均) in Asia-but consumers are barely aware of where their seafood comes from and which species are threatened.There is a lot of room for improvement in Hong Kong. Improving local fishery management policies and increasing the coverage of Marine Protected Areas, as well as conducting the relevant research to inform decisions, could move the city towards greater sustainability in this area. And consumers should avoid eating seafood that is on the threatened species list. As a general rule of thumb, if people are not sure what the species is, they should choose something else that they are more familiar with.With the marine ecosystem already weak and easily destroyed, the greatest threat is continued ignorance and inaction. It is time for us to show that we can also be a part of the solution. If each person plays their part - even for just one meal a day-Hong Kong wouldalready be on its way to making considerable progress towards sustainable seafood consumption.4．How does the author introduce overfishing in Paragraph 2?A．By listing reasons.B．By offering examples.C．By giving exact figures.D．By making comparisons.5．What is true about HK people according to the passage?A．They all see marine life as a part of nature.B．They consume 90% of the seafood in Asia.C．They have a rather big appetite for seafood.D．They are aware of the source of the seafood.6．What does the author suggest people do when eating seafood?A．Keep off unfamiliar species.B．Ignore dangerous species.C．Choose endangered species.D．Avoid non-threatened species. 7．What is the author’s purpose of writing this article?A．To stop consuming seafood.B．To protect the marine ecosystem.C．To improve local fishery management policies.D．To criticize the overfishing situation in Hong Kong.Look up how to increase your life expectancy (预期寿命), and you will probably see plenty of results recommending that you have a healthy diet, get sufficient sleep, work out and cut out tobacco and too much alcohol consumption. But what many of us don’t know is that our relationships also affect our life expectancy. Social integration is associated with greater life satisfaction, better health and increased life expectancy. People with wide social networks are more likely to be happy, experience fewer health issues, enjoy better mental health and to live a lot longer.Now this doesn’t mean that we should dive head first into a relationship whenever we’re lonely in order to avoid dying young. Harmful relationships can be as isolating as being alone, so who we choose to break bread with is absolutely vital to our overall health.Have you ever wondered why some people are single and happy, while others are drowning in suffering? Or why some married couples exist in a consistent state of bliss, while others are practically enemies?Research shows that marriage has greater benefits for men than it does for women. Being coupled allows men to receive the essential emotional support that they would lack if they were single. They also get the added benefit of being physically taken care of thanks to the gender roles society still subscribes to.Women, on the other hand, don’t have as much luck when it comes to being coupled. A woman in a harmful relationship is likely to experience the mental, emotional and physical consequences that come with that. On the contrary, a woman in a healthy relationship is likely to live well. Research shows that the women who are happily married tend to be coupled with partners who take on their fair share of household responsibilities.But that’s not all, age gaps also need to be factored in to determine relationship satisfaction. Couples with wider age gaps are more likely to be harmonious compared to their peers.8．What does the writer intend to emphasize in Paragraph 1?A．Some health problems.B．Ways to increase life expectancy.C．The effect of sleep on people’s health.D．The importance of human relationships.9．What does the underlined word “bliss” mean in Paragraph 3?A．Happiness.B．Kindness.C．Loneliness.D．Friendliness.10．What can we learn from the research?A．Marriage benefits men and women equally.B．Women benefit more from marriage than men.C．Men are better taken care of because of the gender roles.D．Good relationship can effectively prevent people from dying lonely.11．What would be probably discussed in the next paragraph of this passage?A．The influence of a harmonious marriage.B．Relationship satisfaction for older couples.C．Gender differences in marriage satisfaction.D．The benefits of wider age gaps in marriage.An artificial intelligence can decode (解码) words and sentences from brain activity withsurprising accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard. It lists the correct answer in its top 10 possibilities, researchers found in a primary study.Developed at the parent company of Facebook, Meta, the AI could eventually be used to help thousands of people around the world who are unable to communicate through speech, typing or gestures.Most existing technologies to help such patients communicate require risky brain surgeries to put in electrodes (电极). This new approach “could provide a possible path to help patients with communication problems, avoiding the use of surgeries,” says neuroscientist Jean-Rémi King, a Meta AI researcher.King and his colleagues trained a computational tool, also known as a language model, to detect words and sentences on 56, 000 hours of speech recordings from 53 languages. The team applied an AI with this language model to databases from four institutions that included brain activity from 169 volunteers. In these databases, participants listened to various stories and sentences, while the people’s brains were scanned by magnetoencephalography (MEG)(脑磁图).Then with the help of a computational method that helps account for physical differences among actual brains, the team tried to decode what participants had heard using just three seconds of brain activity data from each person. The team instructed the AI to match up the speech sounds from the story recordings with patterns of brain activity that the AI computed as corresponding to what people were hearing. It then made predictions about what the person might have been hearing during that short time, given more than 1, 000 possibilities. Using MEG, the correct answer was in the AI’s top 10 guesses, the researchers found.“The new study is decoding of speech recognition, not production,” King agrees, “Though speech production is the final goal, for now, we’re quite a long way away.”12．What is the main advantage of the new technology?A．Avoiding dangerous operations on patients.B．Freeing patients from risky brain operations.C．Providing a path to communicate with others.D．Helping patients with communication problems.13．What does the AI require to make its prediction?A．Top ten guesses.B．Speech production.C．Patterns of brain activity.D．V olunteers with disability.14．What does Jean-Rémi King think of the new study?A．Disappointing.B．Promising.C．Surprising.D．Exciting.15．What is the best title for the text?A．A New Way to Decode SpeechB．The Application of MEG TechnologyC．A New Study on Artificial IntelligenceD．A Solution to Communication Problems二、七选五You should know that English Literature is one of the few courses in the world that can help you better understand the world around you and far from you.

Scotland：A Land of WisdomIn the 1740s, the famous French Philosopher V oltaire said “We look to Scotland for all our ideas of civilization.” That’s not a bad advertisement for a ny country when it comes to attracting people to search for a first-class education.According to the American author Arthur Herman, the Scots invented the modern world itself. He argues that Scottish thinkers and intellectuals worked out many of the most important ideas on which modern life depends - everything from the scientific method to market economics. Their ideas did not just spread among intellectuals, but to those people in business, government and the sciences who actually shaped the Western world.It all started during the period that historians call the Scottish Enlightenment（启蒙运动），which is usually seen as taking place between the years 1740 and 1800. Before that, philosophy was mainly concerned with religion. For the thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment，the proper study of humanity was mankind itself.Their reasoning was practical. For the philosopher David Hume, humanity was the right subject for philosophy because we can examine human behavior and so find real evidence of how people think and feel. And from that we can make judgments about the societies we live in and make concrete suggestions about how they can be improved for universal benefit.Hume’s enquiry into the nature of knowledge laid the foundations for the scientific method - the pursuit of truth through experiment. His friend and fellow resident of Edinburgh, Adam Smith，famously applied the study of mankind to the ways in which mankind does business. Trade, he argued, was a form of information. In pursuing our own interests through trading in markets, we all come to benefit each other.Smith’s idea has dominated modern views of economics. It also has wide applications. He was one of the philosophers to point out that nations can become rich, free and powerful through peace, tradeand invention.Although the Scottish Enlightenment ended a long time ago，the ideas which evolved at that time still underpin（构成……的基础）our theories of human exchange and enquiry. It also exists in Scotland itself in an educational tradition that combines academic excellence with orientation（方向）。

The lessons they gather will last a lifetime.To sceptics, poker 3 them of images of casinos, late nights and smoky back rooms—all places 4 for kids. And, yes, poker is a form of gambling, 5 it is primarily a game of skill and nerve.6 plays a larger role than in purely skill-driven games such as chess, but that is what makes poker so appealing for oppressed parents: you will be a better player than your children, but the children will still7 often enough to keep them interested.Just as a parent is excited to see their offspring reading, even if what the child chooses to read is not what the adult would, a poker-enthusiast parent will 8 play Five-card Draw with his child. The 9 is always straightforward: collect a better five-card hand than your opponents. But the paths to success are many and 10 . Sometimes it involves deceiving, a practice that, initially, children embrace with reckless 11 . However, 12 they will learn that they cannot always 13 their way to victory. They will also learn the lesson: sometimes deceiving works.Soon they will figure out how to read their opponents— 14 that arrogance can be a cover for 15 , and silence a maneuver to 16 others into overconfidence. They will see that a lost hand is not a lost game, and a lost game today does not signal the same tomorrow.1But the only way they will learn any of these lessons is if these lessons can hurt them. 117 a few practice rounds, the stakes must be actual money—and adults must keep it when they win. But this may be 18 : children come into the world lovable but penniless, and no parent wants to make their own children further 19 . On the other hand, raising children is 20 . Consider any victory a partial repayment for their upbringing.1.[A] results[B]letters[C]pictures[D]rules2.[A] rewarded[B]counted[C]explained[D]watched3.[A] reminds[B]deprives[C]accuses[D]convicts4.[A] unnecessary[B]inappropriate[C]unavoidable[D]invariable5.[A] and[B]but[C]or[D]so6.[A] Temper[B]Luck[C]Analysis[D]Proficiency7.[A] win[B]pause[C]exit[D]calculate8.[A] intentionally[B]gradually[C]happily[D]irregularly9.[A] notice[B]trial[C]goal[D]concept10.[A] direct[B]controversial[C]exclusive[D]diverse11.[A] caution[B]generosity[C]patience[D]enthusiasm12.[A] immediately[B]eventually[C]conversely[D]similarly13.[A] battle[B]cheer[C]lie[D]innovate14.[A] observing[B]mentioning[C]promising[D]determining15.[A] weakness[B]suspicion[C]illusion[D]indifference16.[A] turn[B]persuade[C]tempt[D]force17.[A] Below[B]After[C]Above[D]Before18.[A] necessary[B]interesting[C]promising[D]difficult19.[A] sillier[B]lazier[C]fatter[D]poorer20.[A] expensive[B]perplexing[C]enlightening[D]accessibleSection II Reading ComprehensionPart A2Directions:Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1Two decades ago Microsoft was a technological walled garden. One of its bosses called free open-source programs a “cancer”. That was then. On April 21st the tech firm joined a movement to liberate data. The company plans to launch 20 data-sharing groups by 2022 and give away some of its digital information.Microsoft is not alone in its recent fondness for sharing. Mark Zuckerberg, the boss of Facebook, regarded the ability to share data as a superpower in the face of crisis. Despite the EU’s strict privacy rules, some Eurocrats now argue for data-sharing, too.The benefits of data-sharing have been confirmed by many individuals and organizations. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) reckons that if data were more widely exchanged, many states could enjoy gains worth 1–2.5% of GDP. Economists agree that readier access to data is generally beneficial, because data are “non-rivalrous”: unlike oil, say, they can be used and re-used without being used up.Many governments have recognized the potential. Cities from Berlin to San Francisco have “open data” initiatives. Companies have been more cautious. Firms fear losing intellectual property, endangering users’ privacy and hitting technical obstacles. Less than half of “data collaboratives” involve corporations. Those that do have been small or limited in scope.Microsoft’s campaign is the most consequential by far. Besides encouraging non-commercial sharing, the firm is developing software, licences and rules frameworks to let firms trade data or provide access without losing control. Optimists believe that the foresight behind the giant’s move is novel, unique and likely to have a lasting impact.Brad Smith, Microsoft’s president, notes that fewer than 100 firms collect more than half of all data generated online. More sharing would counteract the concentration of economic—and political—power. Bridging the “data divide” won’t be easy. People in charge of data often come from different industries without a common vocabulary.Indeed, Microsoft has reasons other than unselfishness to support open data. It makes3most of its money not by extracting value from data through targeted advertising, like Facebook, but by selling services and software to help others process digital information. The more data that are shared, the better for Microsoft. Mr. Smith argues that this makes his firm the perfect campaigner for open data.That may be so. But this also points to a bigger obstacle. Even if technical and legal barriers to sharing could be removed, many data-rich firms will be reluctant to loosen their lucrative grip on user information. Despite Mr. Zuckerberg’s declarations, don’t expect Facebook to follow Microsoft’s lead any time soon.21.What does Microsoft plan to do according to the first paragraph?[A]To upgrade environmental technology.[B]To provide a health care program.[C]To lead a movement to analyze data.[D]To share some digital information for free.22.According to Paragraph 4, companies have been more cautious about “open data” becausethey are fearful of ______.[A]being cheated by governments[B]breaking the intellectual property law[C]violating their users’ privacy[D]competing with other corporations23.Brad Smith believes that bridging the “data divide” won’t be easy because ______.[A]data generated online are hard to collect and manage[B]the movement may be hindered by economic power[C]people from different industries have conflicting interests[D]data holders have difficulty communicating with each other24.In addition to unselfishness, what motivates Microsoft to support open data?[A]Economic benefit[B]Moral concern4[C]Legal obligation[D]Prior commitment25.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A]Microsoft Allies With Facebook[B]Microsoft Embraces Big Data[C]Microsoft: A Technological Walled Garden[D]Microsoft: A New Business Model PromoterText 2Interruptions have always been a reality of work, as meetings, text or chat messages, emails, and conversations with coworkers endlessly fragment our time and thus our attention. Research across several surveys suggest that employees—from IT professionals to health care providers—are interrupted every six to 12 minutes.Earlier research by Sophie Leroy, a professor at the University of Washington Bothell, has shown that our brains find it difficult to switch attention between tasks. More often than not, part of our attention stays focused on the interrupted task and does not fully switch to the interrupting demand—a term she coined attention residue. This happens because we have a fundamental need for completion that makes switching our attention quite difficult for the brain to execute; we hold on to incomplete work instead of putting it aside even when a switch of focus is necessary.Leroy proposes the “Ready-to-Resume Plan” as a way to manage interruptions, prevent attention residue, and perform at full capacity on interrupting tasks. The premise of the plan is that if we can put the brain at ease about our ability to complete the interrupted task upon return, we would be able to switch our attention more effectively.To test this idea, Leroy and her team ran a series of lab experiments. Participants started working on Task A and were interrupted to switch to another task, Task B. In the control group, participants immediately switched to the interrupting task, Task B, following the interruption. In the treatment group, the researchers asked participants to take a few minutes before switching to create a “Ready-to-Resume” plan; essentially, to take a minute to note where they5were on the interrupted task, Task A, and what they wanted to do and focus on upon return. Then they switched to Task B.The researchers have found that those who engaged in the Ready-to-Resume plan were 79% more likely to choose an optimal candidate when Task B asked them to evaluate profiles for a job position, revealing better decision making when dealing with complex information. The Ready-to-Resume plan took participants less than a minute and yet it yielded significant benefits. This simple and brief practice of taking stock of where one stands on an interrupted task and briefly planning one’s return helps the brain feel more at ease with putting it aside and switching attention to an interrupting demand.It’s shown that we don’t have to passively succumb to the negative effects of inevitable interruptions. The Ready-to-Resume plan provides the brain the cognitive closure it needs to reduce attention residue so that we can be more present and perform at our full capacity. Yes, interruptions at work may be a fact of organizational life; but with the Ready-to-Resume Plan, we can mitigate their effects.26.According to Paragraph 1, findings of the surveys are used to show that interruptions______.[A]are unnecessary[B]are unavoidable[C]can worsen job performance[D]will increase our time pressure27.The word “residue” (Para. 2) is closest in meaning to _______.[A]remainder[B]deficit[C]control[D]span28.The premise for the plan proposed by Leroy is ______.[A]preparing to get back to the task interrupted[B]reducing our exposure to interruptions6[C]completing the current task immediately[D]communicating the priority of the urgent task29.What did the participants in the treatment group do during the experiment?[A]They wrote a plan for how to complete Task B.[B]They noted down their progress of Task A.[C]They consulted with researchers on the plan.[D]They diverted their attention to Task B instantly.30.According to Paragraph 6, the Ready-to-Resume plan ______.[A]reduces disruptive interruptions effectively[B]helps us be mentally engaged in the present[C]optimizes the benefits of organizational life[D]leaves little cognitive capacity for multi-tasksText 3At 2018’s awards, Caltech’s Frances Arnold became only the fifth female Nobel chemistry laureate since the prize was first given in 1901, while Donna Strickland of the University of Waterloo in Canada became only the third female recipient of the Nobel Prize in physics in its 118-year history.For too long, women have been marginalized by the profession. Of nearly 18 million scientists and engineers in the EU, 41 percent are women. However, just in 2018, a leading professor declared that “physics was invented and built by men, it’s not by invitation.” The almost laughable irony is that he said this at an event convened to explore the discrepancy between gender and science by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.This mindset is also reflected in the findings of a 2017 report by Elsevier that looked at the authorship of more than 62 million peer-reviewed papers published over the previous two decades. The analysis found that in 8 of 11 countries studied, the share of women authors grew from about 30 percent in the late 1990s to about 40 percent in recent years. However, female authors were more likely to be represented in health-care-related fields such as nursing and7psychology than in the “hard” sciences. This may be due to gender bias in peer review: a self-assessment by the journal eLife found that men had greater chances of getting published than women when facing all-male review panels.While scientists might measure their achievements in publications and citations, the rest of the world is more likely to appreciate their accomplishments from the media coverage surrounding major scientific awards. Despite the triumphs of Arnold and Strickland at last year’s Nobel Prizes, here, too, there has been a distinct gender bias. Since the Nobel Prize was established, 97 percent of science prize winners have been men.The fact remains that women in general are still overlooked by research prize–awarding committees. Earlier this year, a study by Brian Uzzi and Teresa Woodruff of Northwestern University found that while that’s changing—women awardees are up from 5 percent between 1968 and 1977 to 27 percent in the last decade—women earn 64 cents of prize money for every dollar a man receives.Of course, there should not be positive discrimination; female scientists should win awards on merit alone. But there are certainly candidates who are overlooked by nominators and evaluators because of gender biases in the sciences. Only by redressing the balance of work and gender can we ever hope the day when a woman receiving a prestigious award in science is newsworthy only for her work and not for her gender will come.31.According to Paragraph 2, CERN summoned the convention to discuss ______.[A]the gender gap in science[B]the drop of women researchers[C]the rise of women’s publishing[D]the gender bias in peer review32.The result of the self-assessment reflected that women have ______.[A]suffered unfair treatment[B]broken gender stereotypes[C]gained health coverage[D]experienced peer pressure833.For the public, a scientist’s accomplishment is recognized mainly through ______.[A]academic conferences[B]enormous published papers[C]press reports on scientific prizes[D]international publication websites34.According to the author, the key for women scientists to win more prestigious awards is to______.[A]offer them guidance on academic publishing[B]drive gender balance in academic publishing[C]improve the media coverage of their work[D]raise the standards for reviewing papers35.Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?[A]Prestigious Science Awards: An Opportunity to Prevent Inequality[B]Prestigious Science Awards: A Path to Financial Freedom[C]Prestigious Science Awards: A Ladder to Career Progression[D]Prestigious Science Awards: A Glass Ceiling for Women to BreakText 4Perfect fluency in a second language can make someone seem so worldly and intelligent. But does knowing more than one language really make a person smarter?The answer is a matter of debate, and the pendulum has swung back and forth. In the first half of the 20th century, hearing two languages at the same time was considered to be a confusing experience for small children. But in the late 1970s, a turnaround was under way. Early exposure to two languages was considered not a handicap but a cognitive advantage.Now the consensus is changing again. A vast online study published in the journal Psychological Science suggests that bilingualism can be handy but doesn’t make people more intelligent.Emily Nichols, the lead author and a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Western9Ontario, noted that the study enlisted 11,000 people to complete 12 online cognitive tests. Participants included “people who hadn’t finished high school and others with professional degrees.” The researchers then selected 372 pairs comprising one bilingual and one monolingual subject, matching people who were equivalent in age, education, income and gender. Satisfied that they had controlled for these confounding factors, the researchers compared the performance of the pair in online tests of their intelligence.The study found almost no cognitive differences between people who speak just one language and those who said they speak at least two. Bilinguals had a slight leg up on Digit Span, a task that requires a person to remember increasingly long strings of numbers by heart. Otherwise, the performance of the two groups was a wash.That “no difference” finding might be partly explained by the fact that the study “treated all bilinguals as a single group,” said Prof. Genesee. In a 2015 study, he and his colleagues looked at neural differences between children who learned two languages simultaneously in infancy and those who learned a second language later. The very early learners, Prof. Genesee said, “engaged neural areas related to language but also areas of executive control,” such as planning and problem solving.The degree of mastery of a second language also matters, said Richard Haier, author of “The Neuroscience of Intelligence”. “Proficiency can range from barely adequate to excellent; lumping everyone into the same group obscures effects.”Absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence, as the saying goes. We don’t know all the details about this new study’s participants, so we can’t yet close the book on whether their bilingualism boosts their smarts. But there are clearly other benefits, said Prof. Owen: “You can speak to more people, qualify for more jobs and fall in love with more people.” And for most of us, that’s enough.36.By saying “the pendulum has swung back and forth” (Para. 2), the author means that______.[A]people are prone to be confused by bilingualism[B]early access to bilingualism is detrimental to people[C]no relationship exists between bilingualism and cognitive development[D]whether bilingualism makes people more intelligent is controversial10版权所有翻版必究37.According to Paragraph 5, the online study showed that bilinguals ______.[A]were equipped with higher degree[B]didn’t have cognitive advantages[C]failed to remember long numbers[D]performed worse than monolinguals38.An additional study conducted by Prof. Genesee and his colleagues took into account______.[A]neural differences between infants and adults[B]the age children start to study a second tongue[C]obstacles in second language acquisition[D]impacts of executive control capability39.The quotation of Richard Haier emphasized the importance of ______.[A]language certificates[B]effects of neuroscience[C]second language proficiency[D]problems of language learning40.Bilingualism is beneficial because it can.[A]make brain smarter and more flexible[B]guarantee a promising future[C]delay the onset of disease[D]develop interpersonal relationshipsPart BDirections:Read the following text and match each of the numbered items in the left column to its corresponding information in the right column.

Regulation needs to be tightened to stop water companies using discharges as a day-to-day measure.”“Customers will rightly be shocked at the frequency of sewage discharges and the damage it does to some of our country’s most precious and valuable river habitats.”The Environment Agency issues permits to allow water companies to release untreated human waste, which includes excrement, condoms and toilet paper, from combined sewer overflows (CSOs) after extreme weather events, such as torrential rain, to stop water backing up and flooding homes.Ashley Smith of the campaign group Windrush against Sewage Pollution said the system was little more than a “licence to pollute”. Smith, who monitors sewage spills on the River Windrush in Oxfordshire, said discharges happened after just a rain shower.He said: “The industry has been given a way to prop up failed infrastructure and it has exploited this enthusiastically. The inability of the Environment Agency to prosecute or even drive improvement has led us to where we are today—in a complete shambles with pollution rife and unchecked.”Michelle Walker of the Rivers Trust described the data as “very alarming”. The environmental charity worked with the Guardian’s data to create an interactive map where you can search for river discharges by area. She said: “When you look at the detail, you see that some of these locations are releasing untreated sewage hundreds of times a year, so they are not just operating during extreme rainstorms.”Walker said: “People think our rivers should be fit to swim in but they don’t realise it is legal to discharge untreated raw sewage into our rivers.”Dr Andrew Singer, a senior scientist at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, said the pollution impact of CSO discharge was a risk to ecological and human health.“English rivers, even the Thames and the Severn, are relatively small, so the contribution of CSOs to many of our rivers can be extremely significant,” he said. “Rivers are much more likely to be impacted now by CSOs because of the increase in population density and the fact that the sewage system has not expanded to meet it.”12版权所有翻版必究A spokesperson for Wessex Water said: “In an ideal world there would not be a combined sewerage system, but many sewers were laid at a time when only one drain served a property —carrying both rainwater and sewage … Since 2000 we have invested £181m to upgrade more than 582 CSOs, and there are plans to improve more over the next five years.” A spokesperson for the industry body Water UK, said: “The water industry is committed to the very highest environmental standards … Although there is currently no simple and effective alternative to overflows, there are some innovative solutions being used, such as sustainable drainage systems, which are natural features that help keep rainwater out of the sewer. In new housing developments, these can help to take some of the pressure off the sewer network.”13版权所有翻版必究Section III Translation46.Directions:Translate the following text into Chinese.

So any concerted effort to reduce emissions has required trusting companies and governments to tell the truth about how much they’re polluting.Now, a new coalition of nine climate and technology organizations calling themselves Climate Trace say they have used satellite data, artificial intelligence and other technology to track greenhouse-gas emissions from across the globe remotely. At the micro level, the platform allows users to track emissions down to the level of individual factories, ships and power plants. In general, the platform will allow for a collective accounting of how the world is doing in the effort to reduce emissions. If a given country claims to have reduced, say power-plant emissions, other countries will soon be able to immediately tap into Climate Trace and get data to verify the claim.Section IV WritingPart A47.Directions:Suppose your university is to hold an award event for the best ten clubs.

Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend visit, they would warn their friends not to leave their luggage open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy. Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up missing.Mary or Jim would go to Lucky’s toy box in the basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of Lucky’s other favorite toys. Lucky always stored his finds in his toy box.It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer. Something told her she was going to die of this disease. She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders.The night before she was to go to the hospital she cuddled with Lucky. A thought struck her -- what would happen to Lucky? Although the three -year -old dog liked Jim, he was Mary’s dog through and through. “If I die, Lucky will be abandoned,” Mary thought. “He won’t understand that I didn’t want to leave him!” The thought made her sadder than thinking of her own death.The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his evening walk faithfully, but the little dog just drooped, whining and miserable.Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived home, Mary was so exhausted that she couldn’t even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim made his wifecomfortable on the couch and left her to nap.Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn’t come to her when she called. It made Mary sad but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed.When Mary woke for a second she couldn’t understand what was wrong. She couldn’t move her head and her body felt heavy and hot. But panic soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem. She was covered, literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned! While she had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life. He had covered her with his love.Mary forgot about dying. Instead she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every day. It’s been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free. Lucky, he still steals treasures and stores them in his toy box, but Mary remains his greatest treasure.1.

I live about a half-mile from two gas stations, two miles from Walmart and less than two miles from the mall. These businesses are well within walking distance, but I don’t walk to any of them—I drive. This may seem surprising, but many Americans practice the same habit.According to the 2010 “National Bicycle and Walking Study” by the U.S. Department of Transportation, 72 percent of trips that are less than three miles in length are made by vehicle. Short distances can be easily traversed by foot rather than by car but only a quarter of Americans are choosing walking or biking as their means of transportation.A December 2012 study by Gregg L. Furie published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, says that about 25 percent of Americans participate in active transportation. Active transportation is defined as human-powered transportation, such as walking or biking. The results of the study showed that those who participated in active transportation had a lower BMI lower waist circumference, and lower odds of developing hypertension and diabetes.The “Vital Signs Walking among Adults” study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention encourages adults to get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity. However, about half of all adults do not get the recommended amount of exercise, and about one-third reported no physical activity at all. The study also showed that walkers were three times more likely to meet the recommended amount of exercise than non-walkers.In addition to the health benefits associated with active transportation, there are many less obvious benefits as well. The American Automobile Association’s (AAA) annual “Your Driving Costs” study for 2012 revealed that the average annual cost for owning and operating a sedan is $ 8,946. Compared with essentially cost-free foot travel or the $120 annual cost of owning a bicycle, choosing active transportation saves your money.Walking is an easily accessible activity that can be done anywhere anytime with anyone. By implementing walking as a primary form of commuting, people can increase their health and decrease their spending. Participating in human-powered transportation also removes some of the stresses of driving from people’s lives. By walking, people canavoid traffic congestion, stop signs, and road rage. Realistically, walking to work could notonly be more beneficial, but also more practical than driving.So, put down the car keys, lace up your walking shoes and prepare yourself for a commute that few choose to experience--walking.11. From the first paragraph we can know that___b___A. the writer is too lazy to walk to workB. American people prefer driving to walking in spite of the short distanceC. the writer is very lucky to live not far away from gas stations and shopping mallsD. it is very convenient for the writer to go shopping12. From the 2010 “National bicycle and Walking Study” we can see that. ___c___A. 72% of people prefer to drive carsB. few people like to travel long distances by carsC. 75 % of people choose driving cars as their means of transportationD. most people prefer to travel short distances on foot13. It’s reported that ___d___adults don’t do exercises at all.A. halfB. one quarterC. two-thirdsD. one-third14.
