AThe backpack you take can make or break your trip when you go traveling. Here are the four best travel backpacks on the market.Amazon Basics 70LIt's much cheaper than many travel bags on the market and does not sacrifice any of the practical uses or ce that comes with more expensive bags.

Mountain Warehouse Tor 65L,D. Osprey Europe Farpoint 70L.BAt just seven years old, Angelina Tsuboi discovered her passion for innovation. It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school's Grade 2class. Today,at18,the Grade 12 student's initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode(解码)real-world problems.In 2021, she co-developed Megaphone, one of her first apps, to tackle unanswered post- class questions and poor communication about events and announcements. Her problem-solving ability kept building from there.When she took online CPR classes at the start of the pandemic, she figured it couldn't be just her who was struggling with the steps. So she created an app called CPR Buddy―a winner in the2022 Apple Swift Challenge―which guides users through CPR using vibrations(震动) to regulate breath. After winning the award, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn't lose her cool over. “There's no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),”she says.The next year, Angelina built an app called Lilac, designed to assist nonEnglish-speaking single parents with resources for housing, job opportunities and translation support. She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the US.When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training.Looking to the future, besides applying to colleges with great labs, Angelina is exploring the field of aeroce cybersecurity and mechatronics―combining computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.“There's not enough optimism in the world," she says. “I have also been in situations in my life where I've lost a lot of hope. But in the end, it is a mindset, and there are ways in any situation you're in to make it somewhat better."4.What is Angelina's pursuit?A. To design games for kids.B. To stimulate teen's curiosity.C. To address problems through technology.D. To find innovative approaches to digital challenges.5.What can we learn about Angelina from Paragraph 3?A. She couldn't breathe regularly.B. She was inspired by celebrities.C. She replaced CPR with an app.D. She was humble about her success.6.What was the primary goal of developing Pilot Fast Track?A. To direct pilots' career paths.B. To help to-be pilots find funds.C. To pair future pilots with airlines.D. To evaluate pilot training schools.7. What might be the best title?A. Breaking the codeB. Bearing growing painsC. Facing life as it isD. Following role modelsCSome people today might be early risers because of DNA they take after Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, suggests new research.When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70,000 years ago, some of them mated with Neanderthals, who had already adapted to the colder, darker climates of the north. The ripple(涟漪) effects of that intermating still exist today: Modern humans of non- African ancestry(血统)have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Some of that DNA relates to sleep more specifically, the internal body clock known as the circadian rhythm.For the new study, researchers compared DNA from today's humans and DNA from Neanderthal fossils(化石).In both groups, they found some of the same genetic variants involved with the circadian rhythm. And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also reported being early risers.For Neanderthals, being “morning people” might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight. This connection makes sense in the context of human history. When early humans moved north out of Africa, they would have experienced variable daylight hours--shorter days in the winter and longer days in the summer-for the first time. The Neanderthals' circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans' offspring(后代)adapt to this new environment.Notably ,the findings do not prove that NU.K.erthal genes are responsible for the sleep habits of all early risers. Lots of different factors beyond genetics can contribute , including social and environmental influences. The study also only included DNA from a database called the U.K. Biobank-so the findings may not necessarily apply to all modern humans. Next, the research team hopes to study other genetic databases to see if the same link holds true for people of other ancestries. If the findings do apply more broadly , they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones.8.What does the new research focus on?A. DNA's dramatic changes.B. Genes’ influence on early risers.C. Neanderthals’ sleeping patterns.D. Ancestors’ environmental adaptability.9.What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research?A. Historical context.B. Additional proof.C. Sample analysis.D. Studying process.10. What is the real benefit of carrying Neanderthal's DNA for modern humans?A .Getting up earlier. B. Having healthier daily routines.C. Being more flexible in their work.D. Possessing a better circadian rhythm.11. What can be inferred about the findings from the last paragraph?A. They get proof from other studies.B. They are confirmed by early risers.C. They suggest potential applications.D. They reveal factors in sleeping disorders.DI had to say something after reading The Anxious Generation. It is going to sell well , because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children's development many parents are led to believe. However, the book's repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children's brains and causing the epidemic (流行病)of mental illness is unsupported by science. Worse , the rude proposal that social media is to blame might distract (分心)us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis in young people.Researchers have searched for the effects suggested by Haidt. Our efforts have produced a mix of no, small and mixed associations. Most data are correlative. When associations over time are found, they suggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression, but that young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers.We are not alone here. Several analyses and systematic reviews centralize on the same message. An analysis done in 72 countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally. Moreover, studies from some authorities finds no evidence of intense changes associated with digital-technology use.As a psychologist studying children's and adolescents’ mental health, I appreciate parents’frustration(沮丧)and desire for simple answers. As a parent of adolescents, I would also like to identify a simple source for the pain this generation is reporting. There are, however, no simple answers. The beginning and development of mental disorders are driven by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors.More young people are talking openly about their mental-health struggles than ever before. But insufficient services are available to address their needs. In the United States, there is, on average, one school psychologist for every 1,119 students. We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more.12.What is presented in The Anxious Generation?A. Scary stories affect children's brains.B. Parents are responsible for children's health.C. Teen's mental illness results from screen time.D. The epidemic of mental illness is unavoidable.13.What does “the same message ”underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Many countries do research in mental health.B. Well-being and social media are closely related.C. The young are trapped in the mental-health crisis,D. Social media don't necessarily cause mental illness.14. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. Effective actions need to be taken.B. Positive stories should be shared.C. Financial support needs to be provided.D. Broader research should be done.15.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To suggest ways to help those in need.B. To encourage parents to brave the crisis.C. To recommend a newly-published book.D. To give a voice to children's mental issues.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。

My dad was the coach of my team, and my mom kept score. So my sister, not old enough to stay home alone, was forced to come to all my games. I remember looking toward the stands for my mother's approval and seeing my sister's face, confused. It was obvious that she wasn't excited, but she cheered along with the crowd anyway.On the car ride home, my parents and I would relive the game. My sister sat in the back seat with me in silence, not knowing how or when to enter the conversation. Often, she would say, “Good game, Brad.” I wo uld smile and thank her but never took it seriously. She couldn't possibly know whether I had played well or not.It wasn't until I reached high school that I realized how popular she was, and I was referred to as “Christie's little brother.” I played bask etball in high school, and although Christie wasn't forced to attend my games anymore, she still came to cheer me every week. In the last game of the last season, she came with a large group of friends. Printed on her shirt, in big bright red letters, were the words “BRAD'S SISTER.” Suddenly I was embarrassed, not for her presence, but for my previous attitude to her praise.Kicki left for college after that game. I finally have the remote control all to myself. However, watching TV alone has turned out to be boring. I went to visit her at college duringa weekend, and as I stood outside her dorm, waiting for her to come out, a friend of hers whom I didn't know walked past me and asked, “Hey, aren't you Christie's brother?” I smiled broadly and said proudly, “Yeah, I am. I'm Christie's brother.”4、How did Brad feel about being an only child when he was young?A.Boring.B.Awesome.C.Tough.D.Awful.5、Why did Christie go to Brad's games when he was in primary school?A.She hoped to know more about Brad.B. She was interested in basketball games.C.She was too young to be left alone at home.D. She wanted to spend more time with her family.6、Why did Brad feel embarrassed according to the last but one paragraph?A.He treated Christie's praise lightly before.B.He forgot Christie's presence at his last game.C. He saw the big bright red letters on Christi's shirt.D.He received unwanted attention from Christie's friends.7、What can be inferred about Christie?A.She was proud of Brad.B. She didn't like watching TV.C.She enjoyed Brd's calling her Kicki.D.She seldom went home during college.Researchers from Texas A&M University have developed a new bioremediation technology(生物整治技术)using plant-based material and fungi(真菌)that could clean up per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances.Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substance, also called “forever chemicals” or PFAS, are found in soil, water, and even human and animal blood and may be harmful to humans and other species. They are found just about everywhere, from food wrappers to clothing. These chemicals may affect the immune system and may cause liver damage. Extremely high exposures to PFAS may also be linked to cancer.“PFAS do not degrade easily in the environment and are poisonous even in a very low concentration,” said Susie Dai, associate professor from Texas A&M. “They must be removed and destroyed to prevent human exposure and negative impacts on the ecosystem. PFAS are so stable and they can occur in water in a very low concentration and you have to concentrate them and then destroy them.”The only way to actually get rid of these “forever chemicals” is by burning them, which is a long and expensive process. But Texas A&M researchers have found a new way to use a plant-based material that adsorbs the pollutants. As explained by ScienceDirect, adsorption is “The use of solids for removing substances from either gas or liquid.” The adsorbent material is then consumed by microbial fungi. The team recently published their findings for the process framework, which they call RAPIMER, in Nature.“The plant's cell wall material serves as a framework to adsorb the PFAS,” Dai explained. “Then this material and the adsorbed chemical serve as food for a microbial fungus. Then it's gone, and you don't have the disposal problem.”This sustainable PFAS clean-up system could be mass-produced for commercial use, leading to a better way to remove these chemical pollutants from the environment. It could also come in handy as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers creating PFAS thresholds(阈值) to its water quality standards.8、What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?A.PFAS's existing forms.B.PFAS's doubtful origins.C. PFAS's potential dangers.D.PFAS's wide applications.9、What did Susie Dai say about PFAS?A.They are unstable.B.They degrade easily in the environment.C.They survive longer in water than in the air.D. They are poisonous even in a low concentration.10、What happens after the plant-based material adsorbs the pollutants?A.The material gets eaten.B. The material becomes solid.C.The material falls into small pieces.D.The material goes on to adsorb fungi.11、What is the author's attitude towards the plant-based material?A.Indifferent.B.Worried.C.Positive.D.Reserved.ever a concern for growers of plants currently grown inside large greenhouses. Vegetables are increasingly being grown indoors, using an advanced form of growing called controlled environment agriculture, a method that has the potential to help feed the planet, even while it threatens to further warm it.Controlled environment agriculture has many advantages. Crops are not subject to unexpected extreme weather. Furthermore, these greenhouses can produce more food withfewer pesticides and less water. With computer-controlled temperatures and nutrients, the plants grow with less water and produce much higher yields. Above all, the produce can be bred for flavor, instead of for tolerance to heat, rain and long-distance transportation.The carbon footprint of any given greenhouse tomato can vary quite a bit depending on energy sources, surrounding temperatures and natural light. But various studies have estimated that, on average, the production of a pound of tomatoes in an American or northern European greenhouse releases 3 to 3.5 pounds of carbon into the atmosphere. That is about 6 times the caron footprint of a field tomato, even taking into account the emissions from refrigerated trucks that often transport field vegetables hundreds or even thousands of miles to reach consumers. Greenhouses, by contrast, can be built near major population centers.Nevertheless, in a rapidly warming world, should we be increasing agriculture's contribution by moving some of it i ndoors? “We have little choice,” say advocates. “With the global population expected to grow by 25 percent to nearly 10 billion people by 2050, food production will need to increase by 60 percent to 100 percent. With freshwater supplies and land suitable for farming decreasing, and droughts getting worse due to climate change, where will this additional food come from?”12、What does the underlined part “a big change” in paragraph 1 refer to?A.The rapid increase of population.B. The threatens of warming the planet.C.The way to deal with natural disasters.D.

From the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, where irrigation systems were devised to nourish lush gardens, to modern-day urban rooftop gardens, humans have continually found solace and beauty in nurturing plants. Gardening is more than just tending to the soil and watching seeds grow; it’s a meditative practice that connects individuals with nature, fostering a sense of accomplishment and well-being.In recent years, the trend of urban gardening has gained momentum, as more and more city dwellers seek to bring a touch of green into their lives. Rooftop gardens, vertical gardens, and even indoor herb gardens have become popular ways to combat the stress of city living and improve air quality. These spaces notonly provide aesthetic pleasure but also serve as havens for wildlife, such as birds and butterflies, attracted by the variety of flora.Gardening also offers numerous health benefits. Regular exposure to nature has been shown to reduce stress levels, improve mood, and even boost the immune system. The physical act of gardening, including digging, planting, and weeding, provides a low-impact workout, strengthening muscles and improving flexibility. Moreover, the act of nurturing plants can be therapeutic, helping to alleviate anxiety and depression.Yet, the benefits of gardening extend beyond the individual. Community gardens, where neighbors come together to cultivate shared spaces, foster a sense of belonging and camaraderie. These spaces often become hubs of social activity, where people exchange gardening tips, share harvests, and even hold educational workshops. Community gardens can also play a role in food security, providing fresh produce to those who may not have access to healthy, affordable options.As the world faces increasing challenges related to climate change and environmental degradation, gardening takes on even greater significance. By planting native species and incorporating sustainable practices, gardeners can contribute to biodiversity conservation and eco-restoration efforts. Every garden, no matter how small, has the potential to make a positive impact on the planet.Questions:1.What is the main theme of the passage?•Answer: The benefits and significance of gardening.2.What is a modern trend in gardening mentioned in the passage?•Answer: The trend of urban gardening, where city dwellers bring green spaces into their lives.3.How does gardening benefit individuals, according to the passage?•Answer: Gardening reduces stress, improves mood, boosts the immune system, provides a low-impact workout, and can be therapeutic for mental health.4.What role can community gardens play in society?•Answer: Community gardens foster a sense of belonging and camaraderie, serve as hubs of social activity, and can contribute to food security by providing fresh produceto those in need.

It fosters creativity and imagination, encouraging us to think outside the box and explore new ideas.Furthermore, reading can serve as a form of self-care, allowing us to nurture our minds and souls. By dedicating time to reading, we prioritize our own mental health and well-being, sending a powerful message to ourselves that we matter and deserve to be taken care of.In conclusion, reading is a valuable tool for managing stress and promoting overall well-being.

Growing up in Wyoming, she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in rural areas. Access to in-depth care for cancer patients is hard to get. She's worked throughout her career to change that.In Wyoming, there's a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancer specialist. "If you need treatments and they have to be administered every day, and if it's 120 miles from where you live, that ends up being a huge barrier to receiving the kind of care you need."And now Monica serves as the vice president of the Coalition (联盟) of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG)—an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients by increasing participation in cancer clinical trials.She said, "One of the really important things is, we're trying to make sure that cancer clinical trials can get to every single patient who needs them in my own state." The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials. Before those trials became available, patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City—a three-to-seven-hour drive.Monica's efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her rural Wyoming patients also include helping to develop new policies that will allow patients to participate in more clinical trials, and linking them with a regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need.In addition to the clinical trials, Monica said that technology's progress like better cell phone and internet service in the mountains of Wyoming, as well as social media, has helped rural residents stay in touch with loved ones and medical professionals despite their distance. She is trying to advocate strongly for those changes to continue."I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to care."4. What do rural cancer patients in Wyoming need most?A. Health care.B. Better housing.C. Further education.D. Public transportation.5. How has Monica helped the cancer patients?A. By offering clinical trials.B. By advocating financial aid.C. By improving internet service.D. By training medical professionals.6. Which of the following can best describe Monica?A. Determined and loyal.B. Honest and generous.C. Grateful and courageous.D. Devoted and responsible.7. What is a suitable title for the text?A. Technology: A push for progressB. Monica: A helper for cancer patientsC. CCCG: A pioneer for cancer treatmentD. Clinical trials: A hope for cancer patientsCYou've ordered a new pair of shoes online. They arrive; you rush to the front door and carry the box as you open it. You untie the laces, guide them toward your feet and they don't fit.So, back in the box they go and an hour later you drop them at the local collections store. It's disappointing. The shoes have never been worn and they'll be making their way to a new home soon. Right? Wrong.What does happen to our goods when we order online and then return them? The reality is that much of it simply ends up in landfill (垃圾场). Each year, 5 billion pounds of waste is generated through returns in the world. In the US alone, customers return approximately 3.5 billion products, of which only 20% are actually faulty according to Optoro, a company which specializes in tackling the returns.It turns out that returns create a real headache for companies. Many companies simply don't have the technology to handle these faults in returned goods, so it is often most profitable for them to sell them cheaply to discounters via a web ofshipping, driving and flying them around the globe, or to simply truck them to the dump.Optoro's software helps retailers (零售商) and manufacturers resell unsold goods more easily. They offer a number of options for retailers, including a website to resell their goods, called Blinq, as well as helping with re-routing goods to donation, store shelves, Amazon or eBay. They estimate their work helps reduce landfill waste by 70%.Ann Starodaj, Senior Director of Sustainability at Optoro, says that while consumer habits might still be harmful, creating a profitable and environmentally friendly fashion model from start to finish is the way forward. "I don't think people are going to stop buying stuff, but creating a business model where you're making it easier for them to make sustainable choices is very important."8. What are the statistics in Paragraph 3 about?A. Waste disposal.B. Goods delivery.C. Clothing fashion.D. Waste returns.9. Why do returns become a real headache for companies?A. Very little profit can be made.B. Related technology is not available.C. Goods are damaged on purpose.D. No places can be found to bury them.10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A. A difficult task.B. A marketing plan.C. A practical solution.D. A producing process.11. What does Ann Starodaj want to convey?A. Returns are easy to deal with.B. People should stop buying goods online.C. Consumer habits bring about harmful results.D. It is vital to create a sustainable business model.DOne person's happiness causes a chain reaction that benefits not only their friends, but their friends' friends, and their friends' friends' friends. The effect lasts for up to one year. The opposite, interestingly, is not the case: Sadness does not spread through social networks as strongly as happiness. Happiness appears to love company more so than misery.Focusing on 4,739 individuals, Christakis and Fowler, who co-authored this study, observed more than 50,000 social and family ties and analyzed the spread of happiness throughout this group. The researchers found that when an individual becomes happy, a friend living within a mile experiences a 25 percent increased chance of becoming happy. A co-resident spouse (配偶) experiences an 8 percent increased chance, siblings (兄弟姐妹) living within one mile have a 14 percent increased chance, and for next-door neighbors, 34 percent. But the real surprise came with indirect relationships. Again, while an individual becoming happy increases his friend's chances, a friend of that friend experiences a nearly 10 percent chance of increased happiness, and a friend of that friend has a 5.6 percent increased chance.The researchers also found that, contrary to what your parents taught you, popularity does lead to happiness. People in the center of their network groups are the most likely people to become happy, and then there are chances that increase to the extent that the people surrounding them also have lots of friends. However, becoming happy does not help migrate a person from the network fringe (外围) to the center. Happiness spreads through the network without changing its structure."Imagine a bird's eye view of a backyard party," Fowler explains. "You'll see people in groups at the center, and others on the fringe. The happiest people tend to be the ones in the center. But someone on the fringe who suddenly becomes happy, say through a particular exchange, doesn't suddenly move into the center of the group. He simply stays where he is—only now he has a far more satisfying sense of well-being."Next time, if you're happy and you know it, thank your friends—and their friends. And while you're at it, their friends' friends. But if you're sad, hold the blame.12. Who will be more likely to become happy as a man is happy according tothe research?A. His wife.B. His next-door neighbors.C. His brothers and sisters.D. A friend of his friend.13. Why does Fowler mention a backyard party in Paragraph 4?A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To describe a fact.D. To make a prediction.14. What does the research aim to tell us?A. Happiness changes social structures.B. A social network is a double-edged sword.C. Happiness goes hand in hand with sadness.D. Happiness spreads through social networks.15. What do we know from the last two paragraphs?A. Friends' friends may bring you happiness.B. Your friends are to blame for your sadness.C. Your friends decide whether you are happy.D. The happiest friends at party are on the fringe.How to Educate YourselfDespite fears of automation (自动化) destroying jobs, history shows that new technology often ends up creating new jobs and opportunities. If you want to take advantage of these new jobs, you'll need to be able to teach yourself newthings. (1) But the following process should get you off to a very good start.Identify What You Want to LearnThe obvious first step is to pick a skill or subject. You probably have a vague idea in mind already, but you are encouraged to make it more specific. Let's take learning piano as an example. (2) To play a few of your favorite songs? To play in a band with your friends? To become the next Carnegie Hall soloist? You can better track your learning progress by doing so.Determine How You Learn Best(3) Before you dive into specific books or courses, you should do someself-reflection and determine your learning style. However, it's not as simple as you thought. In reality, you probably learn well in multiple ways, and the best approach will also depend on the topic.Start With the Right Learning ResourcesIf you're totally new to a subject, you are recommended to read some existing learning resources to get started. Focus on resources that make few assumptions and are designed for absolute beginners. This way, you don't miss fundamentals or develop bad habits. (4)Practice AttentivelyWhen you practice attentively, you set a specific intention for your practice period and focus on only that. You're also honest about your current performance, constantly asking how you can improve. (5) You could play the guitar absently for 10,000 hours but still be no closer to playing like Pat Metheney, a great guitarist. It requires attentive, focused practice.A.Do you like playing the piano?B.What exactly do you want to learn?C.It takes frequent practice to make perfect.D.Putting in the hours is necessary but not enough.E.It's difficult to give exact steps for self-education.F.You can start finding resources once a learning goal is set.G.And choose whatever learning resources work best for your style.16.

2024届山西省高三下学期高考英语模拟试题(含答案)

2024届山西省高三下学期高考英语模拟试题(含答案)

2024届山西省高三下学期高考英语模拟试题一、阅读理解1、New York City has many remarkable parks and open ces that are perfect for hanging out in warm weather. Here are four of our favorite places to take a scenic walk, plus where to eat nearby.Louis Valentino, Jr. ParkDon’t let all of the factories fool you — Louis Valentino, Jr. Park has the best view of the Statue of Liberty. When you get hungry, stop by Red Hook Lobster Pound for mayo-coated lobster (龙虾). Sit at one of the cafe’s first come, first served outdoor tables, or eat on the waterfront.Riverside ParkStretching 4 miles from 72nd to 158th St, Riverside Park is perfect for hanging out along the Hudson River, enjoying beautiful views of New Jersey. If walking the whole way isn’t your thing, there’s a bike path too. Daily Provisions offers fantastic sandwich choices, like juicy chicken and smoked bacon.Central ParkThere are many reasons to walk through Central Park this spring: historic landmarks, great bird watching spots, and hanging out with friends. And while these are enjoyable activities, they’re even better with a pastrami sandwich from Pastrami Queen.Ridgewood ReservoirAt Ridgewood Reservoir, you’ll find an easy hiking spot with a peaceful nature preserve and skyline views of Manhattan. After hiking, head to Rolo’s for various sandwich options. It has outdoor tables but no heaters, so you can take everything to go if it’s too cold out.【小题1】What is the best spot for enjoying views of the Statue of Liberty?【小题2】What makes Riverside Park an attractive destination?【小题3】Where is this article most likely sourced from?2、Charlie Jeffers, 17, a senior at Redwood High School in Marin County, Calif., has loved Lego since age 4. His room is full of Lego bricks. Noticing his friends start throwing away their old Lego collections, he hatched a plan. “Legos are pricey,” he noted. “Many can’t afford them.”He started collecting unwanted Lego parts from friends and neighbors, spreading the word through community notices and door-to-door visits.The response was surprising. Donations of old Lego sets poured in, propelling Jeffers to formalize his efforts under the banner of Pass the Bricks. Together with a dedicated team of volunteers, Jeffers and his teammates carefully clean, sort, and repurpose collected Lego pieces into imaginative sets. These sets, each with roughly 20 to 60 pieces, are carefully made to create scenes such as blind dates or family photoshoots. Since its start in 2020, Pass the Bricks has made a significant success. With over 3,000 sets donated to date, Jeffers and his team are driven by two purposes: to reduce landfill waste and to provide Legos to children who might otherwise go without. Jeffers stresses the educational value of Lego, emphasizing its capacity to inspire creativity and learning.Pass the Bricks has since expanded its reach nationwide, with volunteers in several states distributing sets to local charities. To ensure each set is presented with care, Jeffers uses donations and personal funds from his job at a gym to purchase affordable cardboard gift boxes online. These sets, accompanied by instructions and a photo of the finished product, are distributed to various organizations and directly to children at local schools.Despite his approaching to college, Jeffers remains devoted to his commitment to Pass the Bricks. He plans to continue and expand the initiative, driven by a desire to share the joy and educational benefits of Lego with as many children as possible. “We’re grateful to share them with the kids and families we serve,” Jeffers expresses. Reflecting on his own Lego-filled childhood, he acknowledges its profound influence. “I aim to provide others with the same chance,” he emphasizes, echoing his ongoing commitment to sharing the joy of Lego with all.【小题1】What is the primary purpose of Pass the Bricks?【小题2】Which best replaces the word “propelling” in paragraph 2?【小题3】How does Jeffers ensure that each set is presented with care?【小题4】What does Jeffers hope to achieve by continuing Pass the Bricks?3、If you’re lucky enough to live near forests, you’ll know that it’s cooler under the trees during hot mid-days. Even if you live in a city with more buildings than trees, visiting a local park or garden can help you stay cool.A study from the University of Surrey in the UK found that botanical gardens can make city air cooler by up to 5 degrees Celsius. Wetlands and rain gardens aren’t far behind, cooling the air by about 4.7 and 4.5 degrees Celsius. Trees along streets also help, lowering air temperatures by 3.8 degrees Celsius, while city parks can make it 3.2 degrees Celsius cooler.The paper notes that an air temperature of 40.3℃ (104.5℉) broke records in the UK on July 19, 2022. Some 62, 862 deaths were linked to summer heat across Europe in the same year, while the 2003 heatwave in Europe led to an economic loss of €16 billion due to drought and crop failures. According to the IPCC, “green and blue urban infrastructure (基础设施) elements, including parks, engineered greening projects, wetlands, green walls, and botanical gardens, are particularly effective in reducing air temperatures in cities”.We’ve already seen a number of architecture projects around the world employ large amounts of greenery to promote local cooling, along with beneficial landscaping. However, it’s important to recognize that there isn’t one simple solution to suit every site, and much will depend on effective planning.“Our paper confirms just how many ways there are to keep cool,” added Professor Maria de Fatima Andrade at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. "But it also reveals how much work is left to do. Institutions around the world need to invest in the right research-because what’s very clear from our study is that there is no universal solution. It depends on what works for your community.”【小题1】What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs?【小题2】Why does the author mention “Europe” in paragraph 3?【小题3】What does Professor Andrade emphasize about cooling solutions?【小题4】What might be a suitable title for the passage?4、 A team of scientists from the Center for Cognition and Sociality and the Data Science Group at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) made an exciting discovery about how computers and human brains work similarly when remembering things. They found out that the way artificial intelligence (AI) models, like those in smart robots, store memories is a lot like how our brain’s memory center, called the hippocampus (海马体), does it. This part of the brain is really important for feelings and memories.Understanding how AI learns and keeps information is key to making it smarter. The scientists looked into how our brains learn and remember by focusing on a special process involving the NMDA receptor, a critical part of the hippocampus. This receptor works like a smart door in our brain that helps with learning and remembering. It opens when certain brain chemicals are present, allowing the cell to receive signals and create memories. A specific element, magnesium, acts like a guard, only letting substances in under the right conditions.Interestingly, the team found that Transformer, a type of AI model, uses a similar “guarding”method to manage its memory. They wondered if they could make the Transformer’s memory better by copying the brain’s process. By adjusting some settings in the Transformer to mimic (模拟、模仿) the brain’s memory door, they improved its ability to remember things long-term, just like adjusting magnesium levels can affect how well we remember stuff.This discovery is a big deal because it shows we can use what we know about the brain to make AI smarter. C. Justin LEE, a neuroscience (神经学) director at the institute, mentioned that this research was a big step forward for both AI and brain science. It opens up new ways to understand how the brain works and to create more advanced AI based on these insights.So, in simple terms, scientists have figured out that computers can learn and remember in ways that are surprisingly similar to us, which could help make them even smarter in the future.【小题1】What does the term “NMDA receptor” in paragraph 2 most likely refer to?【小题2】What did the team discover about Transformer?【小题3】What is the significance of the research findings according to C. Justin LEE?【小题4】What is the main idea of the passage?5、How to Develop Critical Thinking SkillsThere’s no magic method to change your thinking processes. Improvement happens with small, intentional changes in your everyday habits until a more critical approach to thinking is automatic. Here are some tips for building stronger self-awareness and learning how to improve critical thinking:Be careful【小题1】. One of the key principles of critical thinking is asking questions and analyzing the available information. You might surprise yourself at what you find when you stop to think before taking action. Before making a decision, use evidence, logic, and reasoning to support your own opinions or challenge ideas. 【小题2】.Ask open-ended questions“Yes” or “no” questions invite agreement rather than reflection. 【小题3】. Digging deeper can help you identify potential biases, uncover assumptions, and arrive at new possible solutions.Learn to be quietActive listening is the intentional practice of concentrating on a conversation partner instead of your own thoughts. 【小题4】. If you’re brainstorming with your team or having a 1:1 with a coworker, listen, ask clarifying questions, and work to understand other people’s viewpoints. This will help you find weaknesses in arguments for better solutions.Put it downRecording your thoughts with pen and paper can lead to stronger brain activity than typing them out on a keyboard. If you’re stuck and want to think more critically about a problem, writing your ideas can help you process information more deeply. 【小题5】. Ideas are more likely to remain in the background of your mind, leading to deeper thinking that informs your decision-making process.二、完形填空6、One sunny afternoon, Lily found a lost kitten hiding behind a bush.

AGood evening everyone!I hope to pick your brain on potential advertising strategies and gaining new customers for my boyfriend’s car repair shop.He has been in business for3years and is fairly successful,but we are trying to increase the number of chargeable hours.While he was doing repair work,I took over all the administrative duties.The first thing on my to-do list was to get him on social media.I was floored that he had no social media presence,which is not surprising considering he is old school.Now,he has a business Facebook page and an Instagram account,although it may not be worth much yet.We are working on a weekly“feature”for both platforms in order to create some interest.He doesn’t want to do coupons(优惠券)or discounts or anything like that,and I understand why.His labor rate is already significantly lower than anyone else in the area,and his overall costs are lower as well.This is where I am a bit lost——how can we effectively attract more customers without a hook?My guess would be focusing on the value,but I’m not sure how well that will work out.We are considering sending postcards as well since he already cooperates with a few local shops who send their large jobs to him and such.However,I am unsure about Facebook marketing, but definitely open.1.What was scheduled first to promote business?A.Working out a weekly feature.B.Increasing chargeable hours. C.Establishing his presence online.D.Visiting his old school.2.How might they attract new clients?A.By raising labor rates.B.By offering discounts and coupons.C.By cutting overall costs.D.By highlighting the value of services. 3.What is the purpose of the text?A.To offer information.B.To seek advice.C.To show advantages.D.To find cooperation.BThere was no way to escape when they spotted a polar bear.Verena Mohaupt and a handful of colleagues were trapped on a floating sea ice while the bear gazed at them,smelling the air,a dangerous sign.“That’s when everything kicks in,”Mohaupt says,“and you focus on what’s important.”As a colleague fired into the sky as a warning shot,Mohaupt radioed their research ship a few kilometres away,whose helicopter luckily arrived quickly and Mohaupt didn’t have to use the gun that was hanging over her shoulder.Keeping a lookout for bears was a regular duty for Mohaupt,the logistics coordinator(后勤协调员)for a year-long mission known as the MOSAiC——the largest Arctic research exploration in history.The project,consisting of roughly300scientists,led by scientist MarkusRex,has collected massive measurements that will help better forecast how warming will transform the globe in the coming decades.For months,the exploration operated in constant darkness while polar bears wandered nearby,storms rocked the ship and the ice shifted and cracked.Then,when the Sun returned,the ice began to melt,creating a life-threatening risk and a nightmare for researchers who needed to keep their instruments from sinking.Tasked with the security of the mission,Mohaupt designed an extensive training course for the participants in which they learnt how to avoid the danger,like storm-rocking and ice-cracking. They jumped into a Norwegian channel in their survival suits and climbed out of the freezing waters using only their ice picks.They learnt how to escape from a crashed helicopter.And they discussed the psychological effects of being far from home.Mohaupt brought knitting equipment, yoga mats and a violin for their men tal health——although having been prepared for the isolation.Mohaupt didn’t expect a career in polar regions,but says she has always been drawn to the north.“She was there to make sure that we were protected,”says Markus Rex,“Mohaupt iscertainly the champion in the field.”4.Why does the author mention a polar bear in the beginning?A.To show the threat of bears.B.To tell an interesting story.C.To introduce Mohaupt’s job.D.To describe the polar scenery.5.What can we know from paragraph3?A.The working conditions were tough.B.Mohaupt helped to collect massive data. C.The exploration went on in total darkness.D.Mohaupt’s duty was to protect polar bears. 6.Which of the following best describes Mohaupt?A.Ambitious and brave.B.Passionate and dependent. C.Considerate and modest.D.Professional and responsible.7.What is a suitable title for the text?A.A Potential Danger in the Exploration.B.A Guardian Angel of Polar Researchers. C.A Great Scientific Exploration in History.D.A Great Female Scientist in Polar Research.CChances are you’ve heard the phrase“like a moth to a flame”——and probably seen it in action at a nighttime fire or barbecue,too.It turns out,however,this age-old saying may not be quite right.Rather than being attracted to light,moths’tendency to fly toward brightness is a behavioral response to help them determine which way is up,suggests a new study published in the journal Nature Communications.To avoid falling down to the ground,insects need to know which way is up,says study coauthor Yash Sondhi,a National Geographic Explorer.Without systems to maintain spatial(空间的)orientation,the brightness of the sky,even at night,has always been a strong indicator of “up”——until artificial lights came along.If they mess that up,they start plummeting.Sondhi and a team of researchers set up experiments to investigate how different lights influence flight behavior.First,the researchers suspended a light bulb from a rope between two trees——resembling a typical downward-pointing light——and in a separate test,they turned the light upward by mounting it on a tripod(三脚架).In both cases,insects leaned their winged backs to the bulb.But when the light was pointed up,the insects often bumped to the ground.What if the light is spread over a wide area?The researchers stretched a large white sheetacross the tree and projected a UV light on it.If the insects were truly“attracted”to the light,they should fly up toward it.Instead,the insects cruised(巡航)straight through this illuminated corridor,flying how they would during the day.The team then placed the sheet on the ground and shined the light on it,which is when something truly odd happened:All these moths flying over it turned upside down and crashed out of the sky.Directionality of light is a huge factor in the pattern we have seen,not just brightness or color.“Artificial lights may cause a mismatch between the insect’s sense of which way is up and true direction of gravity,which spells trouble for insects population.”says Sondhi.8.What can be inferred about“like a moth to a flame”in the new study?A.A moth is generally attracted by a flame.B.Artificial lights are valuable for a moth. C.Brightness indicates up for a moth.D.A moth has a sense of direction. 9.What does the underlined word“plummeting”in paragraph2mean?A.Crashing.B.Speeding.C.Freezing.D.Suspending. 10.What lights influence insects most in the experiments?A.UV lights on the tree.B.Upward-pointing lights. C.Downward-pointing lights.D.Lights of different colors.11.What is Sondhi’s attitude toward artificial lights?A.Concerned.B.Dismissive.C.Doubtful.D.Neutral.DWould you rather watch a new movie,or an old favorite?Would you rather try a dish you’ve never had at a restaurant,or stick with something you know you’ll like?Researchers studying the “mere exposure effect”have found that we often prefer the familiar over the novel.People didn’t need to experience a reward or positive outcome while around the object—simply being exposed to the object would be enough to make people like it.To test this, social psychologist Robert Zajonc had participants read words in a foreign language out loud and varied how often participants read each word(up to25repetitions).Next,after reading the words, participants were asked to guess at the meaning of each word by filling out a rating scale (indicating how positive or negative they thought the meaning of the word was).He found that participants liked words that they had said more often,while words thatparticipants hadn’t read at all were rated more negatively,and words that had been read25times were rated highest.Just the me re exposure to the word was enough to make participant s like it more.One place where the me re exposure effect occurs is in advertising.It explains why seeing the same advertisement multiple times could be more convincing than just seeing it once.Of course, there’s a caution here:the me re exposure effect doesn’t happen for things we initially dislike. Researchers have found that our liking for a variety of things(including pictures,sounds,foods, and smells)can be increased with repeated exposure,suggesting that the mere exposure effect isn’t limited to just one of our senses.Additionally,researchers have found that the me re exposure effect occurs in studies with human research participants as well as in studies with non-human animals.Another key finding from this analysis was that participants eventually started to like object s less after many repeated exposures.In other words,a smaller number of repeated exposures will make you like something more——but,if the repeated exposures continue,you could eventually get tired of it.12.What is the key factor in Robert Zajonc’s test?A.Frequency.B.Preference.C.Originality.D.Achievement. 13.Which of the following is an example of mere-exposure effect?A.We favor an advertisement at the first sight.B.A student joined in the club because of love.C.We are more convinced of what we met before.D.A student read as many English words as possible.14.What can we learn about“mere exposure effect”according to paragraph4?A.It is the result of advertising.B.It has nothing to do with animals.C.It is true of what we dislike at first.D.It can be applied to multiple senses. 15.What is the text mainly about?A.More love because of more exposures.B.The study on mere exposure effect. C.Better results from the earlier exposures.D.The application of mere exposure effect.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

She didn't seem to be the smart kind. I 3 why her teacher asked her to stay in Grade Three. I took her handand 4 her into the classroom. "Sit here. Now you are my student and I'm your teacher, " I said. She still said nothing, but suddenly began to cry. I later learnt that her parents died in a car accident. She became sad and didn't like talking to others after that. She learnt very 5 . I gave her respect and never looked down upon her as I know everybody deserves (值得) respect. I helped her after school, and she wasmaking 6 little by little. As time went by, she was not as 7 as before. At the end of theterm, she seemed to have forgotten all her sadness. She was not among the best students when she left that school, but 8 , she was not that shy and sad little girl any more. In the following 9 , she would send me a card on each Thanksgiving Day.

Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life. By setting and actively working towards our goals, we can make progress in our life. To make more progress in life, start looking at problems in a different way. Whatever happens, if we think positively, it can be useful and helpful. We need to know that problems are part of our life. After we solve problems one after another, we can make more progress and become stronger. Having confidence (信心) is helpful for us to make progress. Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education, training or having good relationships. We should also stay with people who believe in our success and actively support us. These people can help push us towards progress. Slow progress is still progress. Just as the old saying goes, "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop." Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect. Even if progress is slow, try not to be worried. One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals, and another is that we clearly remember what our goals are all the time. The actual speed isn't important. The road to progress is not always smooth. Most progress often comes with setbacks along the way. Sometimes, maybe it feels like we're taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won't always be like that. Keep going towards our goals and we can much more easily make the progress we want. Progress doesn't always happen in a straight line. As long as we keep working, we will achieve higher levels.(1) What does progress make us do?A. Set lifelong goalsB. Go forward easily.C. Live healthily and happily.D. Think about new things.(2) What does Paragraph 3 tell us?A. We should support different people.B. Some people can push us to failure.C. Confidence helps us make progress.D. Different schools expect the same progress.(3) What does the writer say about slow progress?A. It often goes smoothly.B. It still means progress.C. It sometimes stops progress.D. It always gives us a clear mind.(4) Which word is close to the underlined word "setbacks"?A. prizesB. advantagesC. excusesD. difficulties(5) Which can be a proper title for the text?A. Ideas about Making ProgressB. Keys to Speeding up ProgressC. Meanings of Having ConfidenceD. Suggestions on Relationships19、C What will travel be like in 2070? Maybe travel will become smarter and easier by that time. Here are some amazing predictions about traveling that might happen in 2070.At the airport You will use "heartbeat passport(护照)" at the airport. And passport checks will not be used any more. Because everyone's heartbeat is different and it can tell you who you are and where you will go. Also, it provides more personal information.On the airplane Airplane scats could fit a person's body shape; size and even temperature. There will be no screens on the airplane. With a futuristic device(未来设备), you can watch many kinds of movies on the airplane right before your eyes.In the hotel 3D print technology will develop surprisingly fast.

Cathedral(巴黎圣母院) It’s been more than four years since a fire damaged Notre Dame,the Catholic cathedral in Paris that’s historically drawn millions of visitors every year.Since then,people from around the world have united to support an effort,31by French President,that’s intended to have the building back open to the public by the end of next year.Teams working to restore the Gothic cathedral have32to rebuild much of the damaged sections using materials like oak wood(橡木)and stone that have stood the test of centuries.But the builders,architects and engineers do have the33of some21st century technologies,高中3including modern building information modeling(BIM)software that enables them to work with a(n) 34detailed3D digital model of the cathedral and surrounding site,backed by powerful cloud computing technology.“It allows you to really understand a lot of how a building fits together,how it’s constructed,”says Andrew Anagnost,CEO of design software35Autodesk.It has contributed technical consulting, software and financial assistance to the project since shortly after the fire.A digital model,which took more than a year to create,includes more than12,000objects.It was a complex process.Onsite workers captured the point-by-point3D36of the cathedral with laser(激光)and photo equipment.Then,others turned the data points from that process into detailed shapes and objects,down to individual building stones.That let experts see how the building shifted in the fire—important for37any stability issues—and plan out the process of reconstruction.“It’s like Mission:Impossible when they plan,”says Nicolas Mangon,VP of architecture, engineering and construction industry strategy at Autodesk.“Every little piece is done38,and with the3D model you can simulate(模拟)everything.”Even when the cathedral is39,the model may still serve important roles.Mangon says the company is currently in discussions about using it to manage aspects of the complex going forward, 40using sensors that could show the exact location of any future fires.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Sea levels along coastlines in the United States will rise about one foot by2050,with larger increases on the East and Gulf coasts,according to a comprehensive new report by climate scientists.Oceans have already risen about one foot in the last century,as climate change melts glaciers(冰川)and ice caps around the world.But the pace is41,scientists warn,and the next30years will see the same amount of sea level rise as the previous100.The report gives the most concrete and certain sea level42ever published for the U.S.And advances in computer models and real-world information about rising seas make it possible to see the future more43than ever.Sea level rise44dramatically for different parts of the U.S.coast.The ocean is not like a bucket of water that rises at the same time as more liquid is45.Ocean46push more water into some areas than others.Ice in different regions melts at different rates.In many parts of the world, sea level rise is47because coastal land is sinking.The new report adds up all those factors to give48estimates for different parts of the U.S. The authors predict about a foot and a half of sea level rise for the Gulf Coast by2050,with particular 高中4hot spots from Texas to Mississippi,where exploitation of underground oil,gas and drinking water is causing the land to rapidly49into the rising ocean water.There are50hot spots in the Mid-Atlantic region,including Annapolis,Md.and Norfolk,Va.Overall,the East Coast is51to experience a little more than a foot of sea level rise in the next30years.Sea level rise is happening more52on the West Coast,including much of southern and western Alaska,the report finds.The authors predict about six inches of sea level rise by2050.William Sweet,a sea level rise expert with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)and one of the authors of the new report,says cities that are not yet flooded should53

passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Most teachers assign novels for students to read not write.But many teachers nationwide are not only asking students to read novels but also giving them a month to write them.高中5Yes,you read that right:one month.However,students participating in November’s National Novel Writing Month(NaNoWriMo)do not complain about being overworked.Instead,they have been known to ask,“Can we work on our novels today?”That’s because,above all,NaNoWriMo is meant to be fun.An exercise in “seat-of-your-pants”novel writing,it has almost no rules.The Office of Letters and Light is the nonprofit behind the event.It believes this carefree approach encourages writers to take imaginative risks and truly enjoy their work.Founded in1999,the adult version of the event requires only that you commit yourself to making an attempt at novel writing and submitting a novel of50,000words,no matter how good or bad they are,by the end of November.Since2005,NaNoWriMo has entered many classrooms,including those of National Writing Project teachers,through its Young Writers Program.In addition,teachers receive a classroom kit featuring a progress chart,stickers to mark word counts,and buttons for writers who cross the finish line.About1,800classrooms and45,000kids and teens participated last year.The rules for under-18 writers are the same as those for adults.But there is one important exception:young writers can pick their own“reasonable yet challenging”word length.If a student elects to write,say,18,000words and achieves this goal in a month,he or she is a winner.Awards include a“handsome winner’s certificate”and a promotional code to receive a free bound proof copy of the finished novel.The Young Writers Program also facilitates Script Frenzy,a similar scriptwriting(剧本写作) event that happens each April and challenges participants to write a100-page script in30days.While young writers work primarily as individuals,teachers are also encouraged to write along with them.56.It can be inferred that students usually_____after participating in NaNoWriMo.A.enjoy themselvesB.overload themselvesC.look courageousD.become distracted57.By“seat-of-your-pants”in paragraph2,the author means_____.A.the novel writing activity gives its participants pants as awardsB.the participants have to stick on their seats for long writing novelsC.the participants are free to write whatever novels they can imagineD.the novel writing activity needs new rules for participants to follow58.What can be learned about the rules for adolescent writers?A.They should cross the finish line before participating.B.They can lengthen the duration of their writing process.C.They can decide on their novels’word counts themselves.D.They should submit novels on their teachers’recommendation.59.The passage is mainly aimed at_____.A.explaining the objectives of an eventB.giving a general introduction to an eventC.illustrating the benefits of novel writingD.attracting teachers to join a writing program高中6高中7(B)YOUR IMPACT BEGINS TODAY Help us solve our world's most pressing challengesWithyour support,we’re driving new knowledge,working to reduce

a living,most of whom are in developing countries.As the global population increases,the demand for seafood is expected to rise,too.Although ocean ecosystems are stretched to the limit by climate change,overfishing and more, studies nevertheless suggest that seafood can be expanded sustainably to meet future food demands. Success will depend on small-scale fisheries.These fisheries can be remarkably efficient.Almost everything that hand-to-mouth fisheries catch is consumed.By contrast,around20%of the fish caught by industrial ships is estimated to be wasted,mainly because of unwanted by-catch.Small fishers rarely have the right resources to expand their operations,or even to survive.If they do scale up,they might lose some of their current advantages or engage in the same harmful practices as do large commercial fisheries.Managed with care,however,small fisheries could provide win-wins for livelihoods and the environment.Most nations already have management policies for marine ecosystems that provide for small-scale fisheries.But small-scale fishers’rights to access are often poorly defined,ineffectively enforced or unfairly distributed(分配).Government subsidies(补贴)also require reform.One estimate found that large-scale fishers receive about3.5times more subsidies than small-scale fishers do. Instead,subsidies and other funds should be directed towards small-scale fishers to let them expand their access to markets,while keeping them from adopting the negative practices of large-scale operations.The total global loss and waste from fisheries is estimated at between30%and35%annually primarily due to a lack of technology,good manufacturing practices,and infrastructure such as decent roads and cold storage.Public and private investment in cold-storage facilities and processing 高中8equipment could help.One promising strategy is to pair international or national funding with direct contracts for feeding programmes linked to schools,hospitals and similar facilities.Such arrangements would provide small fisheries with large,consistent markets and storage infrastructure that boosts local consumption and does not incentivize(刺激)overfishing.Moreover,simple incentive programmes could be conducted by funders,managers and local governments trying to promote sustainable fisheries.For example,local markets could display a rating system for individual fishers or small fisheries.This could include various elements of sustainability other than environmental ones—such as providing information on the type of fishing equipment, location of the catch and freshness.Promoting the rating as a social responsibility concept would inform consumers of the need to support sustainable fisheries.Anyway,only joint problem-solving efforts can deliver seafood protein,sustainably,to a world that increasingly needs it.63.The passage mainly tells us that_____.A.small fisheries can help the world if managed with careB.the global demand for seafood is increasing dramaticallyC.small-scale fisheries need to be commercialised urgentlyD.people in developing countries are more reliable on fishing64.Small-scale fisheries are more efficient because_____.A.what they catch is hardly wastedB.their by-catch accounts for a larger shareC.they catch fish by industrial meansD.their operation is limited within a small area65.What can be inferred about small fisheries’current situation?A.They gain no support from governments.B.They are expanding to meet local demands.C.They have little access to good resources.D.They impact marine ecosystems negatively.66.To promote sustainable fisheries,which of the following is one of the author’s suggestions?A.To initiate a rating system for small fishers to evaluate the local markets.B.To provide technology for small fisheries to boost their fishing efficiency.C.To inspire a sense of social responsibility in large-scale fishers and consumers.D.To facilitate direct cooperation between small fisheries and feeding programmes.Section 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.高中9A.Here we show how this work translates to humans.B.Many college students experience irregular and insufficient sleep.C.The study evaluated more than600first-year students across five studies at three universities.D.Most surprising to me was that no matter what we did to make the effect go away,it persisted.E.The results are available in the Feb.13issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy ofSciences.F.Total nightly sleep is a potentially important and underappreciated behavior supportingacademic achievement.Nightly Sleep Is Key to Student SuccessFor young adults,college is a time of transition.It may be the first time students have the freedom to determine how to spend their time,but this freedom comes with competing interests from academics, social events and even sleep.A multi-institutional team of researchers conducted the first study to evaluate how the duration of nightly sleep early in the semester affects first year college students’end-of-semester grade point average(GPA).Using sleep trackers,they found that students on average sleep6.5hours a night,but negative outcomes built up when students received less than six hours of sleep a night.67 David Creswell,the William S.Dietrich II Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience at the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences,led a team of researchers to evaluate the relationship between sleep and GPA.“Animal studies have shown how critical sleep is for learning and memory,”said Creswell.“68The less nightly sleep a first-year college student gets at the beginning of the school term predicts lower GPA at the end of the ck of sleep may be hurting students’ability to learn in their college classrooms.”69The researchers found that students who receive less than six hours of sleep experienced a pronounced decline in academic performance.In addition,each hour of sleep lost corresponded to(相对应)a0.07decrease in end-of-term GPA.“Once you start dropping below six hours,you are starting to add massive sleep debt that can harm a student’s health and study habits,damaging the whole system,”said Creswell.“70”“A popular belief among college students is valuing studying more or partying more over nightly sleep,”said Creswell.“Our work here suggests that there are potentially real costs to reducing your nightly sleep on your ability to learn and achieve in college.There’s real value in budgeting for the importance of nightly sleep.”高中10IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.Call a Physical TherapistYou get up from the sofa and-ow!Back pain takes your breath away.Do you reach for the pain pills?No!Call a physical therapist instead!More and more,physical therapy,or PT,is a common go-to for treating aches and pains.A physical therapist can treat almost any injury to give a patient a better quality of life.When it comes to treatment,one size does not fit all.A physical therapist personalizes a treatment plan based on their observations and the patient’s concerns.The goal is to help injured or ill people improve movement and manage pain,so they can live life to the fullest.These therapists work with patients who suffer from back or neck injuries.They help people recover from broken bones and surgeries as well as work-or sports-related injuries.Physical therapists also teach people how to stay in shape and prevent further injuries.Their hands-on(动手的)therapy includes strengthening or stretching exercises,ice or heat and more.No one can become a physical therapist without getting a doctor of physical therapy degree.After completing it,a person must pass a professional license exam before beginning to practice.Further, being a physical therapist can be mentally and physically draining because of the hands-on, personalized patient care required.A successful physical therapist needs to have great communication skills and an eye for detail.They should also be creative problem solvers as well as resourceful.For those looking for a satisfying career,PT is one to consider.The demand for the profession is growing faster than that of many other careers.Private clinics and hospitals hire physical therapists. Sports facilities and professional sports teams also employ them.Therapists may work in skilled nursing facilities or visit patients in their own homes.If someone wants to see the world,they may want to become a travel physical therapist.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.这个保安负责又睿智,让公司避免了损失。

It can help avoid conflict and make for better relationships.There was a time when my parents were occupied with their own business. I was often left alone, dealing with a variety of problems in life and in study when I need their assistance. One day I couldn’t tolerate this any longer and then got into a quarrel with my parents. Much to my surprise, they told me that my grandfather was seriously ill, so they had to attend to him while trying to raise money in order to pay for his medical expenses. How ashamed I felt of what I had done to them. I shouldn’t have shouted at them without getting to know the truth or relating to their feelings. As for my parents, having understood my pains, they promised to set aside some time to accompany me however busy they might be.It is mutual understanding that contributes to harmony and close relationships. Only if we can put ourselves into others’ shoes will we be able to create a world full of love and peace.附:听力原文Text 1:M:Hello, this is Garden Restaurant, Karl speaking.W:Oh, hello, do you have a table for a party of 7 for this Saturday?Text 2:W:Have you seen the movie The Departed?
