Prince’s last concert before he passed away in April was supposed to be cellphone-free—it apparently wasn’t.If Apple’s patent(27)_________(introduce)into iPhone software,with venues putting infrared emitters around their stage,leaks like this could potentially stop happening.But the patent also raises questions about the sort of power that this technology would be handing over to(28)_________with more immoral intentions.Given the company’s rigid support of personal privacy when it comes to police requests to break into users’devices,it’s possible that Apple just(29)_________(patent)the technology so that no one else will use it.But who knows,if it does intend to introduce this feature to future operating systems,sales of camcorders,or even GoPros,could get a much-needed boost,as people try to avoid(30)_________(use) the prohibitive software.Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.Science in ImagesOyster mushrooms feature in cuisines around the world,but they shouldbe off the menu for hungry worms --which these delicious mushrooms willkill and eat.Now researchers finally know how they do it.A study published in Science Advances details how oyster mushroomsuse a particular poisonous substance to freeze and get rid of mushroom-eating roundworms called nematodes (线虫).The mushrooms,which grow on nutrient-poor dead wood,then 31the worms for nutrition.“Nematodes happen to be the most 32animals these mushrooms encounter.So I think,33,this cross-kingdom interaction is very interesting,”says study senior author.The study team of geneticists,biochemists and biologists had previously found that oyster mushrooms release an unidentified poisonous substance that will somehow 34the worms within minutes and cause a chemical element to flow into their cells,killing them.This 35differs from those used by other meat-eating mushrooms and could be unique to oyster mushrooms.For their new work,the researchers grew and analyzed samples of the mushroom’s tissue,finding no noticeable poison even when they broke it up.They reasoned that whatever was killing the worms must be a kind of 36compound that disappears into air when disturbed.When they damaged the oystermushroom tissue again and 37analyzed the nearby air,they finally found a nerve gas that turned out to be contained with tiny,special-shaped structures on the mushroom surface.When nematodes touch the mushrooms,these structures 38their gas,disturbing the worms’cell walls to cause immobility anddeath.The worm is then digested by the mushrooms.Before this study,“we underestimated the 39to which wild mushrooms defend against or consume nematodes,”notes Nick Talbot,a geneticist at Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich,England.The study demonstrates “a very 40approach,”he adds.“These organisms are really difficult to work on,and Dr.Hsueh is showing that you can do some really amazing work with them.”III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C andD.A.chaosB.consumeC.plentifulD.dischargeE.evolutionarilyF.extentG.freeze H.mechanism I.novel J.subsequently K.unstable Oyster mushroomFill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In the middle of2023,a study conducted by the HuthLab at the University of Texas sent shockwaves through the fields of neuroscience(神经科学)and technology.For the first time,the thoughts and impressions of people41to communicate with the outside world were translated into continuous natural language,using a combination of artificial intelligence(AI)and brain imaging technology.This is the closest science has yet come to42someone’s mind.Losing the ability to communicate is a deep cut to one’s sense of self.43this ability gives the patient greater control over their lives.But it could also give other entities,such as corporations, researchers and other third parties,a(n)44degree of insight into,or even control over,the lives of patients.The NeuroRights Foundation,based at Columbia University in New York,argues that new rights surrounding neurotechnologies will be45for all humans to preserve their privacy,identity,and free will.The potential46of disabled patients makes this a particularly important problem.47this approach,Chile was the first country that adopted legislation,drafting new laws,to address the risks of neurotechnology.It not only introduced a new constitutional right to mental48, but is also in the process of adopting a bill that bans selling neurodata,and forces all neurotech devices to be regulated as medical devices,even those intended for the general consumer.The proposed legislation recognizes the intensely49nature of neural data and considers it as organ tissues,which cannot be bought or sold,only donated.But this legislation has also faced50, with legal scholars questioning the need for new rights and pointing out that it could discourage beneficial brain research for disabled patients.While the legal action taken by Chile is the most impactful and51to date,other countries are considering updating existing laws to face the new developments in neurotechnologies.And while it is likely that the first applications of neurotech will be medical,future52are likely to involve consumer applications such as entertainment,as well as for military and security purposes.The growing53of neurotechnology in a commercial context only causes more legal concerns.Different people,societies,and cultures will disagree on where to draw the line.We are at a(n)54 stage of technological development.And as we begin to uncover the great potential of brain science,the need to consider their implications for legal action becomes more55.41.A.eager B.ready C.unwilling D.unable42.A.clearing B.occupying C.changing D.reading43.A.Reducing

C.different D.final55.A.diversified B.genuine C.pressing D.specialSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I used to think I was a good person.I was caring to my friends,my partner,my family;I gave to charity and I volunteered.But when I started training to become a therapist(治疗师),I began to understand that however much we might like to think of ourselves as good people,we don’t actually know ourselves very well.I learned about how we might,without consciously realizing it,deny the feelings and motivations we consider to be bad,pushing them down into our unconscious and projecting them out on to others,so they become the bad people.I learned that deep in the human mind,alongside love and kindness, run currents of anger,need,greed,envy,destructiveness,superiority—whether we want to acknowledge them or not.It was22-year-old Boru who taught me what it really means to be a good grown up.We first spoke two years ago.He was unemployed,living with his parents,watching his friends’lives progress.A good grown-up,he told me,is“someone who has his ducks in a row”—and that wasn’t him.I also didn’t feel like the competent,confident grown-up I thought I should be—and neither did most of the adults I knew.I researched statistics about people hitting the traditional landmarks of adulthood later and later,if at all—from buying a home to getting married or starting a family.I recognized what made me feel like a bad grown-up:that I’ll sit with a broken fridge rather than call an engineer to repair it.Then I saw Boru again.He told me how,over two years,he’d found a job he loves,rented a flat with a friend.He’s now cycling round the world,having adventures that will keep him strong for the rest of his life.So what changed?“You start to have those conversations with yourself,and you become more of an honest person.I don’t feel like I’m hiding from anything anymore,because I’m not hiding from myself.”I think growing up must involve finding your own way to have those conversations.Boru does it on his bike,I do it in psychoanalysis,others I spoke to do it while cooking or playing music.That,for Boru, and for me,is what it means to“have his ducks in a row”.56.What does the first paragraph imply about understanding ourselves?A.Recognizing our positive traits is enough for growth.B.Our understanding of our motives and feelings is accurate.C.True self-awareness means accepting both good and bad sides.D.Ignoring our negative traits does not affect our self-perception.57.What critical lesson did the author learn from Boru about being a good grown-up?A.It involves having a clear career path and financial stability.B.It requires constant self-improvement and education.C.It means being employed and living independently.D.It is like a journey of self-discovery and honesty.58.What does the author identify as a reason for feeling like an inadequate adult?A.Escaping basic responsibilities.B.Delaying reaching traditional life milestones.paring personal achievements to others.D.Investigating changing patterns of adult life.59.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Why Hide HarmsB.How to Be Better AdultsC.Why Growing up MattersD.How to Have Effective Conversations(B)Guided Desert AdventureTypical desert activities like sandboarding,dune bashing and quad bikingSandboarding Quad bikingWith this tour,you’ll have half a day of adventure activities in the desert.You’ll start your tour by driving to a scenic spot on the top of a tall sand dune(沙丘)for a chance to take photos of the area.On top of a sand dune,you’ll have the chance to slide down the side by sandboarding.From here,you’ll get ready for hitting some dunes in a four-wheel drive vehicle.Next, you’ll hop on a quad bike and have time to drive around the desert in the open air.Finally,you’ll have a camel ride around a small part of the

group of four university students need to pay for taking the14:00tour?$180.$220.$265.$400.62.Which of the following is most likely to be a review from a former participant of the tour?A.The show was great!I highly recommend!B.It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed every minute of it.C.The place is cool,easy to find and get to with metro.D.Arrive early for tickets to avoid a long queue.(C)Pricing is managers’biggest marketing headache.It’s where they feel the most pressure to perform and the least certain that they are doing a good job.All successful pricing efforts share two qualities:The policy combines well with the company’s overall marketing strategy,and the process is well-organized as a whole.A company’s pricing policy sends a message to the market—it gives customers an important sense of a company’s philosophy.Consider Saturn Corporation(a wholly owned company of General Motors).Saturn wants to let consumers know that it is friendly and easy to do business with.Part of this concept is conveyed through initiatives such as inviting customers to the factory to see where the cars are made and sponsoring evenings at the dealership that combine a social event with training on car maintenance.ButSaturn’s pricing policy sends a strong message as well.Can a friendly,trusting relationship be established with customers if a salesperson uses all the negotiating tricks in the book to try to separate them from that last$100?Of course not.Saturn has a“no hassle,no haggle”policy which removes the possibility of conflicts between dealer and potential customer.Customers have an easier time buying a car knowing that the next person in the door won’t negotiate a better deal.Of course,there are typically many participants in the pricing process:Accounting provides cost estimates;marketing communicates the pricing strategy;sales provides specific customer input;production sets supply boundaries;and finance establishes the requirements for the entire company’s financial health. Input from diverse sources is necessary.However,problems arise when the philosophy of wide participation is carried over to the price-setting process without strong coordinating mechanisms(协调机制).For example,if the marketing department sets list prices,the salespeople negotiate discounts in the field,the legal department adjusts prices if necessary to prevent breaking the laws or contractual agreements,and the people filling orders negotiate price adjustments for delays in shipment,everybody’s best intentions usually end up bringing about less than the best results.In fact,the company may actually lose money on some orders.63.Why is it essential for a company’s pricing policy to combine with its overall marketing strategy?A.To maximize possible returns and profits.B.To maintain consistency in business operations.C.To eliminate the need for diverse sales inputs.D.To attract customers to social events and trainings.64.What does Saturn’s“no hassle,no haggle”policy(paragraph2)most probably mean?A.Saturn trains its dealers to treat customers sincerely.B.Saturn offers discounts to some loyal customers.C.Saturn cars are at least$100cheaper than other cars.D.Saturn cars are sold at fixed,non-negotiable prices.65.What can be inferred from the wide participation in the pricing process?A.Decision making requires gathering comprehensive information.B.The coordinating mechanism won’t work without a lot of input.C.Potential customers are easily upset at any stage of the process.D.The company loses money unless everyone intends for the best.66.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A.The art of coordinating pricing processesB.The best sales negotiation techniquesC.Getting one step closer toward better pricingD.Maximizing profits through pricing policiesSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.And so,what once took your breath away becomes part of life’s furniture.B.But could it be that many of our lives are already better than we recognize?C.Habituation to the good drives you to move forward and progress.D.But if we can make the constant less so,our attention will naturally turn back to it.E.Rather than focus on how to see our life better,we need to learn to better our life.F.The good news is that you can dishabituate.Your Life Is Better Than You ThinkThe undeniable popularity of self-help books,wellness podcasts,and happiness workshops reflects the constant human desire to make life better.67While we may have a loving family,a good place to live,and a decent job,we often fail to notice those things.It’s not because we are ungrateful or stupid,but it’s because of a basic feature of our brain, known as habituation.Habituation is the tendency of neurons to fire less and less in response to things that are constant.You enter a room filled with roses and after a short while,you cannot detect their scent any longer;and just as you get used to the smell of fresh flowers,you also get used to a loving relationship,to a promotion,to a nice home,to a wonderful work of art.Like the front page of a daily newspaper,your brain cares about what recently changed,not about what remained the same.68You habituate to it—you fail to notice and respond to elements of your life which you previously found amazing.69That is,you can suddenly start perceiving and responding to things to which you have become desensitized.The key is taking small breaks from your daily life.For example,when people return home from a long business trip,they often find their old life has“reshined.”Ordinary things suddenly seem amazing.If something is constant,we often assume(perhaps unconsciously)that it is there to stay,and as a result,we focus our attention and effort on the next thing on our list.70If it is good at its core,it may just reshine.This is why time away,however short,will enable you to perceive your life with fresh eyes—and to break up reality.IV.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.Why Ear-worms Get Stuck in Your HeadWe all get a sensation when a song,for no apparent reason,refuses to leave your head–in fact we’re no strangers to the dreaded“ear-worm.”But a new study published in Psychology of Aesthetics,Creativity and the Arts reveals a fascinating insight into ear-worms,and why some songs are better than others in sticking in our heads by investigating the actual elements of the song that make it catchy in the first place.To do this,most frequent ear-worms of the participants were entered into a database and compared to songs that had never been reported as an ear-worm at all.The melodic features of the tunes were then analyzed,revealing that ear-worm tunes were typically those songs that have overall melodic shapes common in Western pop music.A classic example of a common contour（音调的升降曲线）pattern is heard in Twinkle,Twinkle Little Star,where the first phrase rises in pitch and the second falls.This makes the tune easy to remember and has been exploited in many other nursery rhymes,but also in pop music.In addition to the melodic shape,the other ingredient to the ear-worm formula is the unusual interval structure.The aim of this is to surpass the listener’s expectations of an average pop song,showing unexpected leaps or more repeated notes than usual.“Our findings show that you can,to some extent, predict which songs are going to get stuck in people’s heads based on the song’s melodic content,”says one of the researchers,“This could help song-writers or advertisers write a jingle（短歌）everyone will remember for days or months afterwards.”The authors conclude that studies of ear-worms can help explain how the brain works,and improve our understanding in how perception,emotions,memory and spontaneous thoughts behave in different people.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.火山喷发是多么令人惊叹的自然现象呀！(What)73.除非提供更新鲜的内容给观众，否则视频流量就会下降。

2021届河南省九师联盟全国高三下学期2月阶段性测试英语试卷（四）★祝考试顺利★(含答案)第一节（共4小题;每小题2. 5分.满分10分）阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
We have recently heard some interesting ways that 5G wireless technology might change our lives in the future. 5G promises internet speeds between 50 to 100 times faster than present 4G systems. The technology was also built to handle many more users without slowing wireless services down. Such improvements are sure to be popular with 5G users worldwide.One project in Britain, though* is testing this superfast technology on internet users—cows. The system connects the animals to 5G in an effort to automate the milking process.The project was developed by American teclinology company Cisco Systems. It is part of a Cisco-Iwl program called 5G RuralFirst. The project also receives money from the British government Dairy cows wear 5G smart collars that allow them to be milked by a robotic milking machine at a farm in Shepton Mallet. England. The program seeks to explore the possibilities of 5G connectivity in rural（乡村的）communities around the world Rural areas are expected to be the last to receive 5G service.Testing areas were set up at farms in three rural areas of England. The cows are fitted with 5G smart collars and ear sensors. These devices（设备）link up to a robotic milking system. The system uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process. System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each cow. It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking. During the process, the machine rewards the cow with food.Project officials say the devices do not harm the cows and the ear sensors permit farmers to immediately identify any health concerns.Nick Chrissos who works on the project for Cisco said the system could connect every cow, and every other animal on the whole farm. "That's what 5G can do for fanning—really spread the power that we have within this farm, everywhere around the United Kingdom, and everywhere around the world."1.Why does Cisco Systems test its project at farms in rural areas of England?A.It intends to know the potential of 5G connectivity in worldwide rural areas.B.It wants to make some changes and improvements on 5G technology secretly.C.The British government requires it to instruct farmers to produce more milk.D.People in rural areas are actually in urgent need of 5G connectivity for farming.2.What is the function of the ear sensors?A.Detecting the stability of 5G wireless services.B.Assisting the cows in producing milk slowly.C.Offering healthy food to the cows as rewards,D.Observing the health condition of the cows.3.What's Nick Chrissos's attitude toward the role 5G plays in farming?A.Ambiguous.B. Doubtful. Q Positive. D. Worried.4.What is the best title for the text?A. A Special Program Called 5G RuralFirstB.5G Helps in the Milking Process of CowsC.The Future Development of 5G TechnologyD.Cows Connected to 5G Produce More MilkX<• J-'< .・IL '一二一乙I,,••二二H—iit Wf^rLThU•:第二震扣負幫t甲野、题2分,满分10分）检堀知文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2024届上海市虹口区高三下学期二模英语试题(原卷板+解析版)
虹口区2023学年度第二学期期中学生学习能力诊断测试高三英语试卷II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.No Filming at Concerts and Movie Theaters on Phones “Please, no flash photography.”Polite requests like this can be found in museums all over the world, but they generally don’t discourage people from taking photos of ____21____ they feel like. The same goes for concerts, movie theaters and other places ____22____ people routinely ignore filming restrictions. A new patent from Apple may block that rule-breaking feature—on phones at least.The patent, ____23____ (award) to Apple today, outlines a system which would allow venues, like concert halls or theaters, to use an infrared emitter (红外发射器) to remotely disable the camera function on smartphones. According to the patent, infrared beams could be picked up by the camera, and interpreted by thesmartphone as a command ____24____ (block) the user from taking any photos or videos.Many musicians and performers have banned cellphones from their shows ____25____ they object to the free footage circulating around the web. ____26____ this, images still manage to leak out. Prince’s last concert before he passed away in April was supposed to be cellphone-free—it apparently wasn’t. If Apple’s patent ____27____ (introduce) into iPhone software, with venues putting infrared emitters around their stage, leaks like this could potentially stop happening.But the patent also raises questions about the sort of power that this technology would be handing over to ____28____ with more immoral intentions.Given the company’s rigid support of personal privacy when it comes to police requests to break into users’ devices, it’s possible that Apple just ____29____ (patent) the technology so that no one else will use it. But who knows, if it does intend to introduce this feature to future operating systems, sales of camcorders, or even GoPros, could get a much-needed boost, as people try to avoid _____30_____ (use) the prohibitive software.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from thebox. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. chaosB. consumeC. plentifulD. dischargeE. evolutionarilyF. extentG. freezeH. mechanismI. novelJ. subsequentlyK. unstable Science in ImagesOyster mushrooms feature in cuisines around the world, but they should be off the menu for hungry worms -- which these delicious mushrooms will kill and eat. Now researchers finally know how they do it.A study published in Science Advances details how oyster mushrooms use a particular poisonous substance to freeze and get rid of mushroom-eating roundworms called nematodes (线虫). The mushrooms, which grow on nutrient-poor dead wood, then ___31___ the worms for nutrition.“Nematodes happen to be the most ___32___ animals these mushrooms encounter. So I think, ___33___, this cross-kingdom interaction is very interesting,” says study senior author.The study team of geneticists, biochemists and biologists had previously found that oyster mushrooms release an unidentified poisonous substance that will somehow ___34___ the worms within minutes and cause a chemical element to flow into their cells, killing them. This ___35___ differs from those used by othermeat-eating mushrooms and could be unique to oyster mushrooms.For their new work, the researchers grew and analyzed samples of the mushroom’s tissue, finding no noticeable poison even when they broke it up. They reasoned that whatever was killing the worms must be a kind of ___36___ compound that disappears into air when disturbed. When they damaged the oyster mushroom tissue again and ___37___ analyzed the nearby air, they finally found a nerve gas that turned out to be contained with tiny, special-shaped structures on the mushroom surface. When nematodes touch the mushrooms, these structures ___38___ their gas, disturbing the worms’ cell walls to cause immobility and death. The worm is then digested by the mushrooms.Before this study, “we underestimated the ___39___ to which wild mushrooms defend against or c onsume nematodes,” notes Nick Talbot, a geneticist at Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich, England. The study demonstrates “a very ____40____ approach,” he adds. “These organisms are really difficult to work on, and Dr. Hsueh is showing that you can do some re ally amazing work with them.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are fourwords or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In the middle of 2023, a study conducted by the HuthLab at the University of Texas sent shockwaves through the fields of neuroscience (神经科学) and technology. For the first time, the thoughts and impressions of people ___41___ to communicate with the outside world were translated into continuous natural language, using a combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and brain imaging technology. This is the closest science has yet come to ___42___ someone’s mind.Losing the ability to communicate is a deep cut to one’s sen se of self. ___43___ this ability gives the patient greater control over their lives. But it could also give other entities, such as corporations, researchers and other third parties, a(n) ___44___ degree of insight into, or even control over, the lives of patients. The NeuroRights Foundation, based at Columbia University in New York, argues that new rights surrounding neurotechnologies will be ___45___ for all humans to preserve their privacy, identity, and free will. The potential ___46___ of disabled patients makes this a particularly important problem.___47___ this approach, Chile was the first country that adopted legislation, drafting new laws, to address the risks ofneurotechnology. It not only introduced a new constitutional right to mental ___48___, but is also in the process of adopting a bill that bans selling neurodata, and forces all neurotech devices to be regulated as medical devices, even those intended for the general consumer.The proposed legislation recognizes the intensely ___49___ nature of neural data and considers it as organ tissues, which cannot be bought or sold, only donated. But this legislation has also faced ____50____, with legal scholars questioning the need for new rights and pointing out that it could discourage beneficial brain research for disabled patients.While the legal action taken by Chile is the most impactful and ____51____ to date, other countries are considering updating existing laws to face the new developments in neurotechnologies. And while it is likely that the first applications of neurotech will be medical, future ____52____ are likely to involve consumer applications such as entertainment, as well as for military and security purposes. The growing ____53____ of neurotechnology in a commercial context only causes more legal concerns.Different people, societies, and cultures will disagree on where to draw the line. We are at a(n) ____54____ stage of technological development. And as we begin to uncover the great potential ofbrain science, the need to consider their implications for legal action becomes more ____55____.41. A. eager B. ready C. unwilling D. unable42. A. clearing B. occupying C. changing D. reading43. A. Reducing B. Restricting C. Restoring D. Requiring44. A. irrelevant B. uncomfortable C. negligible D. supportive45.

A. mature B. initial C. different D. final55. A. diversified B. genuine C. pressing D. specialSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the onethat fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I used to think I was a good person. I was caring to my friends, my partner, my family; I gave to charity and I volunteered. But when I started training to become a therapist (治疗师), I began to understand that however much we might like to think of ourselves as good people, we don’t actually know ourselves very well. I learned about how we might, without consciously realizing it, deny the feelings and motivations we consider to be bad, pushing them down into our unconscious and projecting them out on to others, so they become the bad people. I learned that deep in the human mind, alongside love and kindness, run currents of anger, need, greed, envy, destructiveness, superiority—whether we want to acknowledge them or not.It was 22-year-old Boru who taught me what it really means to be a good grown up. We first spoke two years ago. He was unemployed, living with his parents, watching his friends’ lives progress. A good grown-up, he told me, is “someone who has his ducks in a row”—and that wasn’t him.I also didn’t feel like the competent, confident grown-up I thought I should be—and neither did most of the adults I knew. Iresearched statistics about people hitting the traditional landmarks of adulthood later and later, if at all—from buying a home to getting married or starting a family. I recognized what made me feel like a bad grown-up: that I’ll sit with a broken fridge rather than call an engineer to repair it.Then I saw Boru again. He told me how, over two years, he’d found a job he loves, rented a flat with a friend. He’s now cycling round the world, having adventures that will keep him strong for the rest of his life. So what changed “You start to have those conversations with yourself, and you become more of an honest person. I don’t feel like I’m hiding from anything anymore, because I’m not hiding from myself.”I think growing up must involve finding your own way to have those conversations. Boru does it on his bike, I do it in psychoanalysis, others I spoke to do it while cooking or playing music. That, for Boru, and for me, is what it means to “have his ducks in a row”.56. What does the first paragraph imply about understanding ourselvesA. Recognizing our positive traits is enough for growth.B. Our understanding of our motives and feelings is accurate.C. True self-awareness means accepting both good and bad sides.D. Ignoring our negative traits does not affect our self-perception.57. What critical lesson did the author learn from Boru about beinga good grown-upA. It involves having a clear career path and financial stability.B. It requires constant self-improvement and education.C. It means being employed and living independently.D. It is like a journey of self-discovery and honesty.58. What does the author identify as a reason for feeling like an inadequate adultA. Escaping basic responsibilities.B. Delaying reaching traditional life milestones.C. Comparing personal achievements to others.D. Investigating changing patterns of adult life.59. Which of the following might be the best title of the passageA. Why Hide HarmsB. How to Be Better AdultsC. Why Growing up MattersD. How to Have Effective Conversations(B)Guided Desert AdventureTypical desert activities like sandboarding, dune bashing and quad bikingWith this tour, you’ll have half a day of adventure activities in the desert.You’ll start your tour b y driving to a scenic spot on the top of a tall sand dune (沙丘) for a chance to take photos of the area. On top of a sand dune, you’ll have the chance to slide down the side by sandboarding. From here, you’ll get ready for hitting some dunes in a four-wheel drive vehicle. Next, you’ll hop on a quad bike and have time to drive around the desert in the open air. Finally, you’ll have a camel ride around a small part of the desert.What’s includedPickup and drop-off20 minutes of sandboarding35 minutes of dune bashing25 minutes of quad biking10-minute camel rideWater and soft drinksA drive through a camel farmAdditional informationRequires a high level of physical fitness.Not suitable for children between 0 and 5.Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.Tours starting after noon include a BBQ dinner with sweets andfruits, which costs an additional US$ 45/person only.60. What kind of experiences can participants expect from this tripA. Taking a sand bathing on the top of a sand dune.B. Exploring the expansive desert freely on a camel ride.C. An exciting day adventure filled with diverse activities.D. Capturing the breathtaking desert landscape with a camera.61. How much does a group of four university students need to pay for taking the 14:00 tourA. US$ 180.B. US$ 220.C. US$ 265.D. US$ 400.62. Which of the following is most likely to be a review from a former participant of the tourA. The show was great! I highly recommend!B. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed every minute of it.C. The place is cool, easy to find and get to with metro.D. Arrive early for tickets to avoid a long queue.(C)Pricing is managers’ biggest marketing headache. It’s where they feel the most pressure to perform and the least certain that they are doing a good job. All successful pricing efforts share two qualities: The policy combines well with the company’s overall marketing strategy, and the process is well-organized as a whole.A company’s pricing policy sends a message to the market—itgives customers an i mportant sense of a company’s philosophy. Consider Saturn Corporation (a wholly owned company of General Motors). Saturn wants to let consumers know that it is friendly and easy to do business with. Part of this concept is conveyed through initiatives such as inviting customers to the factory to see where the cars are made and sponsoring evenings at the dealership that combine a social event with training on car maintenance. But Saturn’s pricing policy sends a strong message as well. Can a friendly, trusting relationship be established with customers if a salesperson uses all the negotiating tricks in the book to try to separate them from that last $100 Of course not. Saturn has a “no hassle, no haggle” policy which removes the possibility of conflicts between dealer and potential customer. Customers have an easier time buying a car knowing that the next person in the door won’t negotiate a better deal.Of course, there are typically many participants in the pricing process: Accounting provides cost estimates; marketing communicates the pricing strategy; sales provides specific customer input; production sets supply boundaries; and finance establishes the requirements for the entire company’s financial health. Input from diverse sources is necessary. However, problems arise when the philosophy of wide participation is carried over tothe price-setting process without strong coordinating mechanisms (协调机制). For example, if the marketing department sets list prices, the salespeople negotiate discounts in the field, the legal department adjusts prices if necessary to prevent breaking the laws or contractual agreements, and the people filling orders negotiate price adjustments for delays in shipment, everybody’s best intentions usually end up bringing about less than the best results. In fact, the company may actually lose money on some orders. 63. Why is it essential for a company’s pricing policy to combine with its overall marketing strategyA. To maximize possible returns and profits.B. To maintain consistency in business operations.C. To eliminate the need for diverse sales inputs.D. To attract customers to social events and trainings.64. What does Saturn’s “no hassle, no haggle” policy (paragraph 2) most probably meanA. Saturn trains its dealers to treat customers sincerely.B. Saturn offers discounts to some loyal customers.C. Saturn cars are at least $100 cheaper than other cars.D. Saturn cars are sold at fixed, non-negotiable prices.65 What can be inferred from the wide participation in the pricing processA. Decision making requires gathering comprehensive information.B. The coordinating mechanism won’t work without a lot of input.C. Potential customers are easily upset at any stage of the process.D. The company loses money unless everyone intends for the best.66. Which of the following is the best title for this passageA. The art of coordinating pricing processesB. The best sales negotiation techniquesC Getting one step closer toward better pricingD. Maximizing profits through pricing policiesSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. 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. Your Life Is Better Than You ThinkThe undeniable popularity of self-help books, wellness podcasts, and happiness workshops reflects the constant human desire to make life better. ______67______While we may have a loving family a good place to live, and a decent job, we often fail to notice those things. It’s not because we are ungrateful or stupid, but it’s because of a basic feature of our brain, known as habituation.Habituation is the tendency of neurons to fire less and less inresponse to things that are constant. You enter a room filled with roses and after a short while, you cannot detect their scent any longer; and just as you get used to the smell of fresh flowers, you also get used to a loving relationship, to a promotion, to a nice home, to a wonderful work of art. Like the front page of a daily newspaper, your brain cares about what recently changed, not about what remained the same. ______68______ You habituate to it—you fail to notice and respond to elements of your life which you previously found amazing.______69______ That is, you can suddenly start perceiving and responding to things to which you have become desensitized. The key is taking small breaks from your daily life. For example, when people return home from a long business trip, they often find their old life has “reshined.” Ordinary thi ngs suddenly seem amazing. If something is constant, we often assume (perhaps unconsciously) that it is there to stay, and as a result, we focus our attention and effort on the next thing on our list. ______70______ If it is good at its core, it may just reshine. This is why time away, however short, will enable you to perceive your life with fresh eyes—and to break up reality.A. And so, what once took your breath away becomes part of life’s furniture.B. But could it be that many of our lives are already better than we recognizeC. Habituation to the good drives you to move forward and progress.D. But if we can make the constant less so, our attention will naturally turn back to it.E. Rather than focus on how to see our life better, we need to learn to better our life.F. The good news is that you can dishabituate.IV. Summary Writing71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Why Ear-worms Get Stuck in Your HeadWe all get a sensation when a song, for no apparent reason, refuses to leave your head —in fact we’re no strangers to the dreaded “ear-worm.” But a new study published in Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity and the Arts reveals a fascinating insight into ear-worms, and why some songs are better than others in sticking in our heads by investigating the actual elements of the song that make it catchy in the first place.To do this, most frequent ear-worms of the participants wereentered into a database and compared to songs that had never been reported as an ear-worm at all.

第四部分第一节应用文写作一、参考范文Digital ReadingNowadays, digital reading is increasingly popular. It provides great convenience, allowing access to countless books on a single device. Additionally, it enhances the experience with interactive elements. However, one coin has its two sides. The lack of print books takes away the unique experience in reading. Spending too much time on the screen will affect readers’ eyesight and distract their mind.In my opinion, we should strengthen self-control on digital reading and occasionally add traditional print books into our reading to strike a balance. Besides, taking breaks regularly is of great importance to our eyes. By enjoying the benefits and reducing the negative impact, we can fully enjoy digital reading.

My proposed theme for this year is “The Power of Stories”, which celebrates the impact that stories have on our lives and the world around us.To bring this theme to life, I suggest hosting a storytelling session where students can share their favorite personal stories, as well as a creative writing workshop where students can learn how to craft their own stories. These activities will not only encourage students to read and appreciate the power of stories, but also provide them with a platform to express themselves creatively and connect with their peers.Thank you for considering my suggestions.Yours sincerely,Li Hua第二节Suddenly, Bob remembered something and climbed downstairs where old shoes were stored. Wriggling his way through the sections where old limited-edition shoes were stocked, he searched high and low and finally rested his eyes on the shoe box at the top of the shelf. There it was; the pair bore much resemblance to what Buddy desired but were an older version. He gingerly brought it down and dusted the ash off. Then he contacted Haley's mother and explained his motive. “I want to surprise the girl. Is that OK if I drop off the shoes before six tomorrow morning?” “Sure. Thanks, Mr. White. I'm glad you could help!” Meg said gratefully.The next morning, Haley was shocked to find a shoe box lying outside her house. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and caught sight of the note stuck on the box. It was written, “Hope Buddy loves them!” Curious to know what was inside, Haley hurriedly opened the box and stood stunned the next minute. Though a bit different, the shoes were what would make Buddy exhilarated. Cradling the shoes in her arms, she cried in joy. Meg, who had been hidden behind the door to eye her daughter’s reaction, shed tears, too. She was convinced that something else illuminated her that day — two golden hearts.附：应用文评分标准一、评分原则1. 本题总分为15分，按5个档次给分。

His mouth was open, l ike he was going to scream. Chet’s insides turned to jelly when he saw the shining fin moving slowly through the water. “Hurry!” Chet cried. “Get out!” Monty and Dewey flew out of the water. But Sid seemed stuck. The shark was closer to the surface now, its black eyes almost glowing. They all screamed at Sid, but Sid still didn’t move. The shark was getting closer.Before he had a chance to think, Chet was in the water, leaving Monty and Dewey on the dock.He swam as fast as he could toward Sid, grabbed ho ld of Sid’s arm and pulled him. Monty and Dewey were at the edge of the dock, reaching down for them. Sid lifted himself up, and Chet planted his hands on the dock. Chet was almost out of the water when something caught his leg. “It’s got my leg!” Chet screamed. “Pull!” Sid shouted. They pulled until Chet’s leg finally came free! Chet was injured, but to his relief, his friends were safe.录音原文：Text 1M: I have finally passed my driving exam! The driving lessons cost so much money! It cost more than the old car I bought.W: Congratulations! Yes, old cars are quite cheap —it’s the cost of repairs that is the most expensive thing.Text 2W: How do you feel today after cutting all that wood?M: My shoulder aches. I think I did too much yesterday.W: Take it easy today. Watch some movies and I’ll cook a nice meal for you.Text 3M: It’s going to rain all day according to the weather forecast.W: Well, and it’s too windy tomorrow, so that ruins our plan to go hiking. I was hoping today would be sunny!Text 4M: I believe Tom is home from university tomorrow. I’d like to see him.W: He’ll arrive at about 8:00 or 9:00 a.m., but he needs to rest. We’ll have dinner at 5:00 p.m.Would you like to join us?M: Great.Text 5M: I think I’d be an excellent candidate for the job. I’ve had lots of experience working in sales —and I’m really good with people, like you.W: I’m no t good with numbers though, which is a big part of the job. But that is one of your strengths.Text 6M: OK, take the liquid and carefully pour it into the test tube. You must be very careful in case it burns a hole in the table.W: Isn’t this a bit risky, sir? My dad is also a teacher and he says science can be dangerous.M: Not if we take care and do it correctly. Now, once you have poured all of the liquid in, wait for it to react.W: That’s strange —there’s a lot of smoke coming out of the tube!M: Don’t worry —that’s supposed to happen. Just keep watching with your teammates. What else do you notice?W: The color is changing! I love science!Text 7M: Is that a new bike, Lucy? It looks nice with a bright color.W: Well, my sister bought it from a friend, but she hardly ever used it. I borrowed it so often that last month she just said I could keep it.M: That was very generous of her. My brother would never lend me anything, let alone give a bike to me.W: My sister doesn’t value too much of such thing.M: That’s a good way to be. The less you own, the less you have to tie you down and worry about.W: That’s right. How long have you kept your bike?M: A couple of years now. It’s always been a good one. It never gives me any trouble.W: That is the main thing you want from a bike. You need it to be reliable.Text 8M: This French cave is one of the best in the world in terms of ancient history.W: When you say “ancient”, how far back in time are we talking? 500 years?M: Try again.W: 1000 years?M: Most experts believe the cave paintings you see on the wall are around 17,000 years old.W: What?! Are y ou serious? That’s incredible. I’m so glad we came to visit this cave. Staying at the hotel all day was becoming a bit boring, to be honest. I love getting close to history in this way.M: Me too. As soon as I heard we were staying in this area, I immediately thought of these caves. W: I didn’t reali ze you had heard of it. What else do you know?M: Well, the cave was first discovered in 1940, opened to the public in 1948, then closed again in 1963. B ecause I’m a university professor, the staff here allow us to get in.W: Wow! Thank you for taking me.Text 9W: You’ve traveled a lot, haven’t you, Stuart? I’m about to go traveling myself for the first time.What advice would you give me?M: Well, there are lots of things I can tell you. Is there anything specific you want to know?W: I do worry about getting lost. If I land in another city, in another part of the world, how can I find my way around?M: When I arrive somewhere for the first time, I always try to get a map of the area from the airport or the h otel I’m staying at. And I get someone to write down where I am staying, so I can show it to people if I’m lost.W: Have you ever found yourself somewhere strange, with no map or directions?M: Oh, many a time. The thing to do then is ask for directions. B ut don’t just ask one person, because some people don’t like to admit they don’t know. Ask several people.W: Who are the best people to ask?M: It depends. Obviously, tourists might not be familiar with the area, and children might notknow some places. Delivery people are good, because they drive around different places all the time.W: What if there’s no one around?M: Try to remember places like towers or tall buildings, near where you want to go. They can help you find your way.Text 10Today I want to talk about the importance of being prepared. There is a famous saying that goes: “If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail.” It’s famous because it is so true. Let me share with you a story that happened to me recently that proves this.Over the summer, I had to get the main bedroom of my house rebuilt. Last week, I organized for a building examination for 11:00 on Monday. Well, at 10:55, I was still in the shower. I had forgotten all about it! When the examiner knocked on the door, I rushed out of the shower. However, I hadn’t taken the time to up grade all the paperwork. I was totally unprepared — not to mention completely embarrassed! By 11:05, the examiner had left. He couldn’t wait around for me to get ready as he was scheduled for another job somewhere else. I made him angry by wasting his time. Unfortunately, I had to book another appointment — and I had to pay twice!The point I am trying to make is, please, whatever you do in life, always be prepared!南通市2022届高三第二次调研测试写作评分说明第一节：应用文写作（满分15分）文章总共分三部分，包括（1）表示感谢；（2）你的收获；（3）希望得到进一步指导。

Interviews with experts on Chinese culture.BAbandoned outside an orphanage（孤儿院）as a baby and adopted at the age of three by a family in the Netherlands,16-year-old model Abbing has become known aroundthe world, as a model who has appeared in fashion magazines-but also as an inspiring representative of the albino（白化病人）community.When it comes to modelling, Abbing has found her difference more of a blessing: she is represented by the Zebedee Talent agency, which aims to make people who have disabilities more visible in the world of fashion.“I want to help people to see that being different is good，and definitely not some curse（诅咒），as they believe in countries like Tanzania and Malawi,"said Abbing.“Some companies try to include models who are different,but sometimes for the wrong reason,because they want to say:'Hey,look at us! We are also including people with differences or people of different color'."But Abbing welcomes what she sees as a shift.People now want to learn about and accept differences. “They should alsotalk with people with differences directly,ask them questions and listen to what they have to say,”she urged.When not in front of the camera,Abbing loves climbing and swimming, and used to love competitive sports.It's important for her to focus on what is possible,rather than what isn't.“At school,teachers tend to look at the things you cannot do.I reallydidn't like that,although they meant well.I would rather they had focused on the things I can do instead."Abbing loves the world of travel and meeting new people,which her modelling has opened up, and particularly working with artists and on artistic projects.The teen also pours her creativity into decoration artwork.“Because I see the world from a different angle, my artwork turns out a little different as well,”she said.24.What is one reason for Abbing's being chosen by Zebedee?A.Her physical disability.B.Her youthful appearance.C.Her success in the fashion world.D.Her fame in the albino community.25.What does Abbing think of some companies hiring disabled models?A.A social conflict.B.A positive change.C.An act of showing off.D.A product advertisement.26.Which of the following best describes Abbing?A.Creative and honest.B.Optimistic and patient.C.Courageous and outgoing.D.Athletic and humorous.27.What message does Abbing's story convey?A.Everyone is born equal.B.Judge not by appearances.C.Love makes the world go around.D.You are beautiful the way you are.CAs a junior economics reporter, I was once given an assignment which made me panic. I was asked to write a story about an economic concept I didn't really understand. No one else from my team was around. Searching online left me more confused. Just then, Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator（评论员）in my company，walked past my desk. I took a deep breath and asked him. He explained it well in a few sentences and my problem was unexpectedly solved.Ever since then, I have been a big believer in asking “stupid" questions, by which I mean questions that you fear make you look stupid. But I'm worried this is a dying art. Professor Arvind Narayanan once told me that his students were always worrying their questions might be silly, which made the vast majority of his students tend to keep silent in lectures no matter how he encouraged them, even when they were still filled with confusion.Fear of asking "stupid" questions can lead you to pretend you know more than you do, which also makes you more likely to believe whatever others say. One study published in 2021 asked participants to rank their knowledge of a set of terms on a five-point scale from “never heard of it" to "know it well, understand the concept＂.Some of the terms were real；others were fake（伪造的）.The study found that people who were more willing to pretend they know something well were more likely to fall for nonsense of others.I know not everyone is lucky enough to have a Martin Wolf wandering past their desk. But trust me, a journalist who asks questions for a living: most people really don't mind being asked something "stupid". If they do, it is probably because they don't really understand it themselves, or they have something to hide. In that sense, you learn something useful either way.28.Why does the author mention her encounter with Martin?A.To describe a journalist's work pressure.B.To show the benefits of asking questions.C.To present the best way to solve problems.D.To introduce an economics reporter's routine.29.What does the author mean by saying "this is a dying art"?A.Fewer people tend to raise questions.B.Few valuable questions are put forward.C.People don't know how to ask questions properly.D.People don't feel ashamed of asking silly questions.30.What does the 2021 study suggest?A.People usually pretend to be knowledgeable.B.Fake and real concepts are hard to distinguish.C.People shouldn't believe others' words too quickly.D.Fear of asking questions leads to bad consequences.31.Which section of a website is this text most likely from?A.Technology.B.Opinion.C.Friendship.D.Culture.DDo you remember when Nelson Mandela died? In the 1980s? In the 1990s? The answer is in 2013. The political figure was in prison from 1964 to 1990 before receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 and being elected president in 1994. However, many people incorrectly remember him dying in prison in the 1980s,which is how the Mandela effect gets its name.The Mandela effect is a phenomenon where a large number of people believe something happened, when in reality, it did not. For example, many people misremember details such as the color of asnack packet or the name of a TV show. A 2020 memory study found that 76% of adults made at least one detectable error when asked to recall information, demonstrating that memory is not accurate.“The Mandela effect seems to be closely related to a number of well-known memory phenomena," said Tim Hollins,a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Plymouth in the U.K.He named three similar types of memory-related phenomena: “false memory,” which is the creation of a memory that didn't happen;“source-memory errors,”which is when someone forgets the true source of a memory；and “imagination inflation（膨胀），”which is the tendency to believe something is real when it is often or vividly imagined.However,Hollins believes the phenomenon that is most closely connected to the Mandela effect is that of “gist memory,”which is when someone has a general idea of something but can't necessarily remember the specifics.A common example relates to the monkey called Curious George,a children's book character that first appeared in the 1940s, and his lack of a tail.“Remembering Curious George as having a tail just reflects the fact that most monkeys have tails,”Hollins said. “If you just remember the gist-it's a monkey-why wouldn't you remember him having a tail?”32.What contributes to the name of the Mandela effect?A.Mandela passed away in the prison.B.Mandela received the Nobel Peace Prize.C.Mandela's death was wrongly remembered.D.Mandela's political ideas were well-received.33.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.Experiments related to memory phenomena.B.Psychological causes for the Mandela effect.C.Memory problems leading to the Mandela effect.D.Scientific explanation of memory-related problems.34.What can we learn about our memory from the text?A.It is not as reliable as we think.B.It can be improved through efforts.C.Memories of details do not last long.D.Imagination helps strengthen memory.35.Which is a phenomenon of "gist memory" according to the text?A.Imagining something that didn't exist.B.Recalling every word of a conversation.C.Just preserving the memory of pleasant things.D.Remembering only key features of something.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。

I am glad to share with you more details about my passion for moon exploration.
It started with what I had been told about the moon as a kid and grew stronger with time. As you can guess, there is rich cultural meaning behind the faithful companion of the earth. In Chinese culture, as opposed to the masculinity of the sun, the moon is often compared to a quiet and elegant lady. Also, it reminds people of their family and friends far away. People feel reassured knowing that they are watching the same moon as if the moon could serve as their messenger.
Human beings have never stopped exploring our closest neighbor. I believe it is of great significance. The development of relevant technology facilitates the progress of science in general, which benefits our everyday life. What’s more, I think moon exploration shows an important human trait, that is, curiosity about the unknown, which is the driving force that has brought our species this far.
I hope you find what I‘ve mentioned above interesting and reasonable. By the way, what do you think of when you gaze at the moon? Write back and tell me about it!

One possible version:
The past week was by no means ordinary, for I had finally decided on my major.
This Monday, the topic was brought up again by my parents during dinner. I had asked myself
the same question many times, but still couldn’t make up my mind. Seeing my hesitant look, mom patted me on my shoulder, her smile encouraging me to do more research.
Later that evening, I turned to the Internet for help. Faced with so many choices, I seemed to be lost. Law could be a good choice. Business and computer science were also attracting top students.
I noted down one after another major, but crossed them all off, for what I wanted was a profession that could make a difference in people’s lives.
The inspiration came unexpectedly with the CCTV News yesterday. The moment “Role Models of Our Time” appeared on the screen, I was awed. The news story focused on superheroes without a cape – police officers, healthcare workers, delivery men, city cleaners—who guarded us and ensured our life ran normally. Suddenly, I realized my life’s purpose—relieving pain and saving lives. And to pursue this call, I decided to specialize in medical science.
I jumped excitedly at this idea. Mom and dad were also happy that I had found the compass for my future life, and said they would be so proud to see me in white. Now, determined to become a healthcare worker, whenever I start my schoolwork, I know I am studying for a noble cause.
