C.Finders Seekers Boxes.D.Kiwi Doodle Boxes.A famous springboard driver was defeated by his competitor in the finals of a world championship,offering congratulations to the winner and waving a tearful goodbye to the audience.It is common in the athletic world.Sportsmen spend the best part of their lives on hard training and competitions.When it becomes evident that they are on the decline they still make great efforts to give their best so as to bring a satisfactory end to their career.Chances to compete for the championship are few and far between.Life is short.Still shorter is the time for an athlete trying to win games.An athletic contestant really feels that there are so few opportunities and time flies.He treasures every minute,makes full use of it and tries to grasp any chance coming his way.He gets as much as he gives,winning honors not only for himself but also for his country.To participate and to win——that is the Olympic spirit.It finds expression in the weak daring to challenge the strong,and the strong searching forever better performance.Ever better—the ideal always makes a sportsman forward.He will do everything he can for it, never relax,never give up.It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated—even the best is bound to be defeated by someone still stronger.This is the rule of sports—thousands of losers set off one winner who in turn will eventually be replaced by someone on the honor list.However,he is always trying to do the best he can.When the time comes and he knows he can’t,he will step down happily to give place to the younger winner, aware contentedly of the fact that he has done his best for the“ever better”records of the Olympic Games.He will say proudly that he has not lived his youth in vain.4.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To explain a phenomenon.B.To describe a competition.C.To lead in the topic of this passage.D.To express worries about sportsmen.5.According to the passage,what kind of ideal pushes an athlete forward?A.He wants to win people’s respect.B.He wants to win honor for his nation.C.He wants to make greater achievements than ever.D.He wants to earn more and more money and fame.6.What can be learnt from the rule of sports?A.Whatever difficulties you have met,never give up.B.Even the strongest athlete will be defeated one day.C.You can’t live in the sports field without any effort or progress.D.You are the winner if you are brave enough to challenge the strong.7.What is the passage mainly about?A.Sportsmen’s spirit.B.Sportsmen’s life. C.Sportsmen’s honor.D.Sportsmen’s pride.“A lot of the time when climate change is discussed in mainstream media,people are asking‘can humans overcome this?’,or‘what technology can solve this?’.It’s high time we recognized that animals also have to adapt to various changes.We know some animals change their skin colors to escape from natural enemies or due to environment pollution,”says Ryding.“The climate change that we have created is putting a lot of pressure on them, and some species try to adapt by shapeshifting(变形).”Strong shapeshifting has particularly been reported in birds.Several species of Australian parrot have shown,on average,a4%—10%increase in beak(鸟喙)size since 1871,and this is positively linked with the summer temperature each year.North American dark-eyed juncos,a type of small songbird,had a link between increased beak size and short-term temperature extremes in cold environments.There have also been reported changes in mammalian species.Researchers have reported tail length increases in wood mice and leg size increases in masked shrews(鼩鼱).“The increases in some body parts size we see so far are quite small—less than10%—so the changes are unlikely to be immediately noticeable,”says Ryding.“However,some body parts such as ears are predicted to increase.”Ryding intends to investigate shapeshifting in Australian birds firsthand by3D scanningmuseum bird specimens from the past100years.It will give her team a better understanding of which birds are changing their body parts and why.“Shapeshifting does not mean that animals are coping with climate change and that all is‘fine’,”says Ryding.“It just means they are adapting to survive it—but we’re not sure what the other ecological consequences of these changes are,or indeed that all species are capable of changing and surviving.”8.What may cause animals’shapeshifting according to Ryding?A.Human hunting.B.Climate change.C.Natural enemies.D.Polluted surroundings.9.What method does the author mainly use to develop paragraph2?A.Giving examples.B.Cause-effect analysis. C.Making comparison.D.Process analysis.10.What can we know from Ryding’s words in the last paragraph?A.Animals can well adapt to changes and survive.B.Influence of animals’shapeshifting is uncertain.C.Rdying will research into bird museums in Australia.D.All adaptations of animals to climate change are beneficial.11.In which section of a newspaper can we find the text?A.Technology.B.Health care.C.Environment.D.Education.For thousands of years,Chinese writers have travelled all over the country to take down notes about the geographical conditions of each city.Among them,well-known Chinese geographer and writer Li Daoyuan,in the Northern Wei Dynasty(386-534),composed his book,Commentary on the Water Classics,after studying the original literary version,Water Classics.He later expanded the river records to1,252from the original137.The book is now being studied again by Professor Li Xiaojie and his team from Fudan University.They have been using drawing software and3D modelling to recreate the waterway situations on a map based on the book description.So far,they have completed research on four rivers.“Ancient people knew really well how to apply the power of nature to technical considerations,”Li said,giving the example of Qianjin’e,one of the most famous ancient water conservation projects in Luoyang,Henan.In order to lead the river into the city for irrigation(灌溉)in ancient Luoyang,the officials built a canal branch by separating anorthwest-southeast river.However,the canal water wasn't enough to support the citizens in dry seasons.To solve that,on the northern side of the canal branch,the officials built a reservoir(水库)and a channel to lead the water to the canal branch,where the waterways would converge and flow together to the city.In Commentary on the Water Classics,a total of2,800cities are recorded with details. Still,the process of recreation takes much effort.After doing a lot of text analysis and fieldwork,the team has gradually created the model with3D modelling software based on repeated deductions(推论).For Professor Li,the book is not only a record of the natural landscape over1,000years ago,but also a detailed description of humanity and culture and a treasure for today’s reference.12.What can we learn about the book Commentary on the Water Classics?A.It has been out of date.B.It explains3D modelling.C.It keeps records of137rivers.D.It is based on previous studies. 13.What does the underlined word“converge”in paragraph3mean?A.Join.B.Pass.C.Cross.D.Begin. 14.What does paragraph4mainly tell us about model recreation?A.Its major problems.B.Its detailed analysis.C.Its complex process.D.Its successful application. 15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.3D Technology Fuels Modern ResearchB.Ancient Classics Inspire Modern ResearchC.An Effective Approach to Model RecreationD.A Famous Writer of Chinese Ancient Classics二、七选五If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime,you will see people,mostly men wearing T-shirts,sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade,playing a game with large round disks of wood.____16____Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period.While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess,there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a populargame in China.____17____And in the20th century both Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game.And,though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess,Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played.Like Western chess,the object of the game is to capture the other player’s“king”.____18____Unlike Western chess,instead of placing the pieces in squares,the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines.Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board,which the elephants cannot cross.____19____This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had alife-or-death war.The war was so influential that“the Chu River and the Han Boundary”has become a metaphor(隐喻)referring to any boundary between two opposing armies.When the Chinese people today see this name on the board,the battle scenes come to their mind,as though they are surrounded by thick smoke,able to hear the beating of war drums.____20____A.Actually,in Xiangqi he is just a general.B.During the Qing Dynasty its popularity grew.C.It is called“the Chu River and the Han Boundary”.D.The game is called Xiangqi,a game of ordinary people.E.There are many differences between Xiangqi and Western chess.F.An intense battle is about to take place on this small chessboard.G.Several sayings related to Xiangqi are in common use in China today.三、完形填空Baby Miloszek was born with a heart defect.His condition is too___21___to be treated in Poland,but doctors at Stanford University Medical Center are able to take his case.___22___,they require80percent of the payment up front,a sum the family simply could not ___23___.That’s when Maria Andrejczyk___24___in to help!Just a week after___25___her first Olympic medal ever and returning from Japan, Maria posted a___26___on a social media platform announcing that she would be auctioning(拍卖)off her silver medal to raise money for Miloszek’s surgery.Days later,a Polish convenience store called Zabka___27___the medal for$125,000,which was more than Maria had___28___to get.Not only that,but when her___29___ broke,more people began donating to the fundraiser.Finally,they pulled in more than enough cash to____30____Miloszek’s trip to America!And the____31____doesn’t end there.

By the age of nine, I had fashioned my first prosthetic arm (义肢) using Lego– a simple box that perfectly accommodated my right arm.This early creation sparked my drive for further 3 . Years later, I developed another prosthetic arm called the MK-1, which had fingers, a motor, a pressure sensor, and a grabber capable of 4 things. Before constructing it, I was against traditional prosthetics as they were too 5 . My parents had looked into getting one years earlier, only to be discouraged by the prohibitive price. So, I concluded that I might not need one because I was managing well without.As the years passed, my creations evolved from MK-1 to the more advanced and comfortable MK-V. One day, a couple with their eight-year-old son, who lost both arms in an accident, reached out to me after learning about my story. Short of money, they couldn’t afford well-functioning prosthetics. “Daniel,” the father 6 asked, “we were wondering if you could help build a set of prosthetics for our son.”It would be a challenging task, but I responded with a “yes”. Without any delay, I 7 the task. The subsequent days witnessed how I carefully selected the Lego piece and intricately integrated practical components to enhance its dexterity (灵巧). Days turned into weeks, and the boy-customized prosthetics finally took shape. It’s time for them to fulfill their intended purpose.I rushed to the boy’s home and 8 the prosthetics onto him.

Each piece is written for a French province with a title of bird chosen for each region. Messiaen uses the "colour of tones" at its most powerful, where different sounds interconnect and lay the birdsong among the nature most beautifully.The Cat and the Mouse by Aaron CoplandWe can hear so vividly different plots and the tune is easily accessible to all listeners. Copland uses the pace and rhythm successfully, which creates the animation in the music. Lots of loud and dissonant (刺耳的)chord is fully applied in the entire piece, giving the” storytelling“ nature to the music.The Maid and the Nightingale by Enrique GranadosIn the music, the maid sings a mournful song to the nightingale as her lover has gone to fight another guy out of jealousy, and eventually dies. After her mournful "song" ends, the last part of the piece is pure bird sound. Granados mainly uses quick and light single notes to paint the melodies of birdsongs.Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-SansThe Carnival of the Animals is the most famous work from Saint-Sans. Interestingly, he forbade the work to be published during his lifetime as he felt it did not represent him properly. The different musical techniques and the fast and light rhythm of the full suite truly make this set of works the most typical music for animals.21.What characteristic do The Cat and the Mouse and Carnival of the Animals share? A.Mournful B.DynamicC.Discouraging D.Peaceful22.Which work gains its popularity out of the composer's expectation?A.Catalogue of the Birds B.The Cal and the MouseC.The Maid and the Nightingale D.Carnival of the Animals23.What can we learn from the four classical pieces?A.Each piece of Catalogue of the Birds is named after a French province.B.The tune of The Cat and the Mouse is accepted by all listeners.C.The Carnival of the Animals is the first hit of Saint-Sans.D.The creation of the bird sound in The Maiden and the Nightingale is different from Catalogue of the Birds.BThe idea of billions of people going through a few masks a week during this pandemic definitely rings alarm bells, but a team of researchers in Melbourne may have the solution.They’ve discovered that adding millions of discarded face masks to road-paving (铺路) mixtures would actually lower the cost of the road, while preventing billions of them from landfills. Just one kilometer of road would need three million masks, and the polypropylene (聚丙烯) plastic used to make single-use surgical face masks also increased the flexibility and durability of the road.The new material is a mixture of about 2% torn masks, with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA)—a material obtained from waste concrete and other minerals from destroyed buildings. This recycled material was found in the study to be ideal for two of the four layers generally required to create roadways. Paving a kilometer of two-way road with the RCA and three million face masks would result in a change of 93 tons of waste from landfills.The final product then is more resistant to wear than asphalt (沥青), as well as being cheaper too, provided there was a method for collecting masks. The research team did a cost-analysis and found that, at $26 per ton, the RCA was about half the cost of mining raw materials, and as much as a third of the cost of shipping the used masks to a landfill.The widespread application would be ideal for large infrastructure (基础设施) projects. For example, Washington has the 11th worst roads in terms of unaddressed repairs in the U.S. If the damaged roads in Washington state were repaired with the RCA/mask mixture, it would reuse nearly 10 billion masks, sparing American landfills hundreds of millions of tons of trash.It’s said that the team is looking for private industry partners or governments willing to give their plastic mask road an opportunity for a large-scale test.24. What does the underlined word “discarded” mean in par agraph 2?A. Recycled.B. Produced.C. Mixed.D. Abandoned.25. What is the new material used to pave ways made of?A. 2% torn masks, concrete and tons of trash.B. Polypropylene plastic and building materials.C. Single-use surgical masks and recycled concrete aggregate.D. Waste concrete and other minerals from destroyed buildings.26. Why are numbers mentioned in paragraph 5?A To tell us what the team has found.B. To prove this material is cost-effective in paving roads.C. To explain repairing roads costs a lot of materials.D. To praise the hard work the team has done.27. What can we learn from the text? A. The material used to pave roads is made of masks.B. Generally speaking, it requires two layers to create roadways.C. It remains to be tested whether the solution is practical.D. The damaged roads in Washington were repaired with the RCA.四.语篇填空【1.5*10=15分】Sanxingdui Site, dating back to 3,000 to 4,000 years ago, was first discovered in 1929.

One of the places on his list for us to visit was a “rare violin shop”. We made our way down the crowded streets and stopped in front of a tall building.This building was not what I had pictured. I’d been imagining a street-level shop, open to the public, with some interesting and older violins on display. As we walked inside, we were greeted by a receptionist who asked if we had an appointment, since they were by appointment only. I wanted the ground to swallow me whole and decided to give up the visit. However, my dad eagerly told her, “No, we didn’t but, my daughter plays the violin with her high school orchestra. And we would love to just pop inside and browse! Don’t mind us!”The receptionist gave him an odd look but excused herself to talk to a well-dressed man, who told us that since he had no other appointments right now, he would love to give us a tour.The starting price for a violin here, we found out, was 10 thousand dollars. He showed us around a very private-feeling and swanky-looking condo (奢华的工作间) , pointing out a room where he casually mentioned he would chat with Joshua Bell when he came by. My jaw was on the floor the entire time.At the end, the man picked up a Stradivarius and asked me to play a string while he held it. And he triumphantly said, “There! Now you’ve played a Stradivarius.”I don’t remember the man’s name, but meeting him is a real stroke of luck for me and I’m grateful that he decided to show a no-appointment, non-customer visitor around. His warm behavior helped inspire me to continue pursuing my instrument after high school!4.What kind of violin shop had the author expected to visit?A.Tall and magnificent.B.Mysterious and odd.C.Popular and fascinating.D.High-end and professional.5.How did the author feel after being greeted by a receptionist?A.Proud.B.Embarrassed.C.Guilty.D.Depressed. 6.According to Paragraph 4, what might Joshua Bell be?A.A receptionist.B.A celebrity.C.A salesman.D.A shopkeeper. 7.What can be concluded from the passage?A.The shop overprices its customers.B.Stradivarius is a mass-market brand.C.The author enjoys her visit to the shop.D.The well-dressed man is a great violinist.Researchers have created a wearable device. They say it can extend energy while providing assistance for walking and running.Researchers from Harvard University's Wyss Institute say the device demonstrates great possibilities for future inventions of lightweight wearables that could have mass appeal. The team called its system a breakthrough in wearable technology. One reason for this is that it is very difficult to build a device to assist both walking and running. Past developments have centered on either activity, but not both. Walking and running use different hip movements, also known as a person's gait (步法) . The new exosuit uses sensors and an algorithm (算法) to help it recognize which gait is being used so as to enable the device to provide assistance with walking and running motions.The study found that a main result of this assistance was a reduction in the “metabolic (新陈代谢的) cost” to a walker o runner. Metabolism is the process by which living things turn food into energy. A reduced metabolic rate means a person will use less energy while performing a physical activity. In tests, the exosuit reduced the metabolic rate of walking by 9. 3 percent; forrunning, the metabolic cost dropped by about 4 percent. Less energy was required in tests on flat surfaces or on hills.Conor Walsh is a professor at the Wyss Institute. He helped lead the study. He admitted that the metabolic reductions were not huge. But he said the research presented possibilities for further development in wearable device technology. Walsh said the study demonstrated that a lightweight wearable assisting device can help pave the way for its system to become common in our lives.The researchers noted that the lower metabolic rates also had the effect of making a person feel lighter. The testing showed that a walker with the device would feel 7. 4 kilograms lighter and a runner 5. 7 kilograms lighter.The team is still doing research. No devices are currently available to the public. One of the team's major goals is to reduce the weight of the device by at least 40 percent. Researchers also plan to add more individualized assistance possibilities and improve the system to fit as many uses as possible.8.What is the feature of the new wearable device?A.It helps people lose weight.B.It is designed only for the disabled.C.It greatly reduces the metabolic rate.D.It helps save energy consumption. 9.What does the underlined word “exosuit” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The gait.B.The metabolic rate.C.The wearable device.D.The wearable technology.10.What can be learned about the device from the last paragraph?A.It's already on the market.B.It can be customized.C.It still needs improvement.D.It's controlled by AI.11.What's the best title of the passage?A.Exosuit Paves Ways for Metabolic ReductionB.Research on Assistance with Daily ExerciseC.The Future Development of Wearable TechnologyD.An Energy-extending Wearable Device for Walking and RunningMany people have a too rosy view of the beverage and are surprised when confronted with the facts about it on a nutrition label, according to our recent study.Right now, people usually think of red wine as a “virtue” rather than a “vice”, thanks to popular belief about its health benefits. But requiring nutrition labels, which are currently voluntary, could change those views.In our experimental research, which included nearly 800 participants, we found that American consumers aren’t used to seeing nutrition information on wine labels, and most are surprised by what they read since they don’t associate wine with calories, carbohydrates and sugar. People who were prompted to read labels viewed wine as less healthy than they did beforehand, and they were less likely to buy it.We also found that people are more surprised by the sugar content of sweeter wines, such as Moscato, than by the number of calories. Sweet wines, in particular, may contain more sugar than consumers realize.Nutrition labels don’t need to be bad news for the wine industry. Wine sales have recently declined among those aged 60 and younger, and greater transparency in labeling could help rekindle young consumers’ interest. Millennial and Gen Z consumers may especially appreciate clearer labels, since they could help them view wine as less mysterious and more accessible. They may also allow them to fit an occasional glass of wine into their personal health goals.What’s more, there’s been a recent trend toward wine packaging including labels like “organic” and “sustainable”, which may appeal to consumers’ preference for sustainability. These labels have less to do with nutrition than with manufacturers trying to appear eco-friendly—but makers of natural wine would likely benefit most from offering nutrition information.And there’s still more to learn about how nutrition labels affect behavior. Studies have shown mixed results, but on the whole, labeling appears to make people cut their calorie intake somewhat. Still, the U. S. put nutrition labels on foods in the 1990s, and that hasn’t stopped the obesity rate from rising.12.What can be learned from the study?A.People used to regard wine as a vice.B.Wine labeling confirms wine as a virtue.C.Nutrition labels go against the will of the public.D.Nutrition labels change people’s views on red wine.13.Who might benefit most from the new trend toward wine packaging?A.Wine stores.B.The government.C.Mass customers.D.Natural wine producers.14.What do Paragraph 5 and Paragraph 6 mainly focus on?A.The benefits of wine labeling.B.Policy changes on wine labeling.C.The downside of wine labeling.D.People’s attitudes toward wine labeling. 15.Why does the author mention the U. S. nutrition labels in the last paragraph?A.To show their positive effect on behavior.B.To give an example of changes on food labels.C.To illustrate the serious obesity problem in America.D.To present their uncertain impact on customers’ behavior.We live in an interruption-based culture that can be damaging to productivity. Most of the time, information from electronic devices only adds to the distraction. Here are some tips to help you increase your focus and complete the things that count:16 Write down what you want to finish each day and identify a single priority that you commit yourself to complete This will help focus your brain on what matters, dealing with the big jobs first and leaving the small ones till later.Turn off the distractions. Actively checking for information may distract you from work. Consider checking email only four times per day and handling each inquiry only once. Try to control your devices, instead of having that technology control you. 17Get comfortable. 18 Comfort could be determined by the clothes, the chair, the music, the temperature of the room or the work location. Knowing what environment makes you comfortable yet focused at the same time can help you maintain focus through the workday.Set smaller goals. Big goals may be great for motivational speeches. 19 Consider breaking down all goals into smaller pieces that can be finished more easily. As a result, this may only require focus for a shorter period of time, which may mean an increased possibility of completing the task.Take a walk. 20 Taking even a short walk away from work can help relax the body and mind. Meanwhile, it can help you refocus on the next task upon your return.A.Put first things first.B.Commit yourself to complete your task.C.Achieving small goals can lead you to success.D.This means something different for different people.E.This may help reduce distractions and increase your focus.F.However, they don’t help anyone focus on getting important things done.G.Standing up and getting away from the office can help increase your focus.二、完形填空Welcome to the Restaurant of Mistaken Orders.

The importance of food security should never be underestimated,” said Y uan, academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering.The 2019 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report shows that over 820 million people are suffering from hunger and the world is facing huge challenges in achieving the sustainable development goal of zero hunger by 2030. According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, there are four factors in food security: physical availability of food, economic and physical access to food, food use, and stability of the other three factors over time. Between 1979 and 2005, China received food aid from the UN World Food Program (WFP) which benefited over 30 million people nationwide. Starting from 2016, however, the partnershipbetween China and the WFP witnessed a total transformation: China turned from a major aid recipient to a leading aid donor, supporting millions of malnourished (营养不良的) people beyond its borders.Innovation (创新) in science and technology is one of the driving forces behind this change. Yuan is considered a pioneer in the field of food science and technology. He has dedicated himself to the research, application and promotion of hybrid rice for decades. The super hybrid rice that his team cultivated can yield nearly 18.1 ton per hectare, setting a new world record. Hence, Yuan is regarded as the “father of hybrid rice.”“Food safety is of very importance to the national economy and people’s livelihood. As an agronomist, I felt that I should focus on this area,” Yuan told CGTN. “My biggest hope is to make sure that the ‘rice bowl’ is firmly held in our own hands so that we, as a country, can feed ourselves.”4. What do we know about Y uan from the first paragraph?A. He gained much support from WFP.B. He contributed a lot to global food supply.C. He changed people’s wrong ideas on food security.D. He won the Medal of the Republic for the second time.5. What does the author think of the aim of zero hunger by 2030?A. Impractical.B. Impossible.C. Necessary.D. Difficult.6. According to this passage, what has happened to China since 2016?A. China has helped many countries a lot in food supply.B. China has still received food supply from the UN.C. There have been no malnourished people.D. There have been no problems of food safety.7. Which is Yuan Longping’s main dream?A. Food safety is no more a problem.B. He can improve people’s livelihood.C. China can feed itself all by itself.D. He has more innovation in food.C(2022·黑龙江省八校2022届高三上学期期末考试英语试题)Oily pizza boxes, takeaway coffee cups, plastic jam pots—are they trash or recycling? Sorting out waste for recycling can be very confusing. One US waste processing company has reported that 25% of all recycling it receives is so dirty it must be sent straight to landfills. Meanwhile, the amount of household waste rejected for recycling in England increased by 84% last year. And it’s about to get worse.Nowadays, most sorting is still done by hand. It’s dirty and dangerous work. So Lillian Chinand her colleagues at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a robot arm that picks up objects and identifies what they are made from.The robot, called RoCycle, uses sensors to sense the materials it handles. This allows it to distinguish between different metal, plastic, and paper objects. In an experiment, RoCycle correctly classified 27 objects with 85% accuracy.Others are developing robots that sort materials by sight. But the team believes that using touch is more accurate. “The idea is neat,” says Harri Holopainen at ZenRobotics, a company based in Helsinki, Finland, which makes vision-based robotic waste sorters.The drawback is that picking up items one by one takes time. This makes RoCycle too slow for industrial recycling plants, which are expensive to run and need to process waste quickly to cover costs. Some ZenRobotics robots can sort 4,000 objects an hour, for example. Holopainen thinks RoCycle would need to work around 10 times faster to compete. The team is working on combining its touch-based robot with a visual system to speed things up. This robot would scan objects passing by and pick up only those it wasn't sure about.Still, there’s more to be done when it comes to recycling. “The next generation of recycling robots will need to pull any object to pieces to get at the good bits. Every object that has been manufactured (生产) needs to be recycled eventually,” says Holopainen.8. What do the statistics in paragraph 1 suggest?A. We need to adjust our eating habits.B. The way we sort out waste needs to be improved.C. We failed to raise public awareness about recycling.D. Recycling has caused serious pollution.9. How does RoCycle identify different objects?A. By scanning them.B. By touching them.C. By smelling them.D. By photographing them.10. What does Holopainen think of RoCycle?A. It should be more eco-friendly.B. It needs to be more accurate.C. It should be cheaper.D. It needs to work faster.11. Why does Holopainen say the words in the last paragraph?A. To advise people to use fewer manufactured goodsB. To share his company’s business growth plan.C. To predict the future of recycling robots.D. To comment on present recycling efforts.D(2021·河北邢台2022届高三上学期第二次联考英语试题)Almost every morning for the past two decades, Juliet, the special parrot or simply Macaw, has been visiting the local zoo in Rio de Janeiro to interact with others of her kind through the metal enclosure.Macaws are social birds, so being lonely is a tough burden to bear for Juliet, a beautifulblue-and-yellow macaw who calls Rio home. No one really knows much about her. Zoo staff named the bird Juliet, but they don’t even know if she is actually female. It’s really hard to tell with macaws, and to determine her true gender they would need to capture the bird, and either examine her gonads (生殖腺) or take blood or feather samples. And there’s really no need to put Juliet through all that stress just to satisfy human curiosity. All that everyone knows is that Juliet loves coming to the zoo every morning to be with others of her species.Macaws have an average life expectancy of about 35 years, and Juliet has been around for at least two decades. Yet, she has never had a mate, built a nest or had chicks, and she probably never will, because there’s just no one to do it with.Luckily, there is hope for Rio’s loneliest bird. Through Refauna, an initiative which reintroduces species into protected areas, scientists want to raise some 20 chicks that will, receive training on wild food sources, as well as enemies and power line avoidance, before being released into the wild.The birds will be released into Rio de Janeir’s giant Tijuca Forest National Park, where Juliet is believed to spend her nights. Scientists hope the birds will help keep balance in the localeco-system, by breaking seeds that other birds can’t, thus spreading those seeds. But they will also become welcome company for Juliet, allowing her to fly with others of her kind for the first time in 20 years. And maybe she’ll even find love.12. What is the most unbearable for Juliet?A. Hunting food.B. Feather color.C. Interaction.D. Loneliness.13. Why does the zoo staff give up finding out Juliet’s real gender?A. They have difficulty catching her.B. They are unable to find her gonads.C. They refuse to put her under pressure.D. They plan to raise visitors’ curiosity.14. What can we know about Juliet?A. She has built a big nest.B. She’s no spring chicken.C. She hates feeding chicks.D. She’s in love with a bird.15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Benefits for other birds from Juliet.B. Problems with the current ecosystem.C. What Juliet need to survive the wild.D. Expectations for Juliet after release.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。

ASome are attracted to museums by the art and the culture-but if that isn’t enough,there is always the strange!Cancún Underwater MuseumNo need to hold your breath to see this one.The Cancún Underwater Museum is,as the name suggests,underwater.More than500sculptures anchored in the ocean off Mexico are meant to illustrate the interplay of art and nature.Visitors can either admire the works through a glass-bottom boat or take a scuba diving tour.Omaka Aviation Heritage CentreWith great attention to detail,New Zealand built the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, which exhibits original aircraft from the First and Second World Wars.Some belong to film director Sir Peter Jackson,who helped create the set designs with his team.Anyone interested in the pioneers of aviation should pay a visit to the museum in Blenheim.Tenement MuseumAt New York’s Tenement Museum,visitors can gain an insight into what life was like for immigrants and the working class in the city from the1860s through to the1980s.The museum opened in1992and offers guided tours of two tenement buildings with recreated rooms,where costumed‘residents’enact the daily lives of the city’s newcomers and workers over the period-leaps and bounds from the money makers of Wall Street.Cupnoodles MuseumThe Cupnoodles Museum in Yokohama,Japan,offers a treat:exhibits can be not only admired,but eaten.Visitors can work in the museum’s noodle workshop,refining creations with their favourite ingredients.While doing so,one can also learn the history of the ramen noodle, one of Japan’s most popular foods.1.What is special about the Cancún Underwater Museum?A.The strange name.B.The number of sculptures.C.Works about art and nature.D.Ways of visiting it.2.Which museum will attract visitors interested in hands-on activities?A.Cancún Underwater Museum.B.Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre.C.Tenement Museum.D.Cupnoodles Museum.3.What do the four museums have in common?A.They are about art and history.B.They display aircraft from world wars.C.They have unusual features.D.They record immigrants’daily lives.BElon Musk is a businessman,inventor and engineer and is undoubtedly,one of the leading figures in the world of technology.Musk was born in Pretoria,South Africa in1971.At the age of12,he taught himself how to programme computers.He was accepted to university in the United States where he completed a degree in Arts.After this,he started a PhD in physics at Stanford University.However,he dropped out to pursue his interest in startups and technology.He founded an online payment site that eventually would become a global company.In 2001Musk began meeting with scientists to discuss the possibility of human habitation on Mars. Using his own fortune,Musk founded his company that designs rockets and space vehicles.It was the first privately owned company to do so.In2012,the rockets made by the company docked with the International Space Station.Musk also received contracts from NASA,thus making history by proving that the concept of commercial space exploration was both possible and affordable.Another one of Musk’s innovations is the electric car.Musk started a company and became the CEO in2008.The company is named after Nicolai Tesla,the Serbian-American inventor and physicist,who is best known for designing the AC electrical system.The cars made by Musk’s company are designed to end the dependence on fossil fuels and so reduce the negative effects of climate change and air pollution from cars.Why does Musk devote himself to such innovations?By creating opportunities to explore new planets,Musk believes that in the event of a major catastrophe on Earth,there would be the potential for the human race to continue elsewhere.On Earth,Musk’s inventions are designed to find renewable,environment-friendly solutions to meet the challenge of an ever-growing global population.4.What can we learn about Musk?A.He learnt computer programmes from his teacher at12.B.He graduated from Stanford University with a degree in physics.C.He received government support to found the space company.D.He named his company after a well-known scientist.5.According to the author,what event was historic in Musk’s career?A.Getting achievements in arts.B.Founding an online payment site.C.Receiving contracts

considerate.D.Creative and responsible.CThough they may not know it,about half a billion people depend on the ecosystems created and sustained by corals.And with climate change threatening coral’s survival,marine scientist Enric Sala had a goal that might have seemed impossible.“We wanted to get into a time machine,go back hundreds of years and actually see a coral reef like they used to be everywhere,before we started exploiting,polluting and killing them,”Sala said.The goal was made possible during an expedition Sala led in2009.The team traveled to a corner of the South Pacific Ocean,to see if the almost untouched reefs held any clues to bringing damaged reefs in other parts of the ocean back to health.“The bottom was covered by thriving coral.Vivid colors surrounded me-purples,reds, oranges,yellows and greens.It was so beautiful,”Sala said.His team presented their findings to officials in the island country of Kiribati.The government took steps to protect the waters from fishing.But between2015and2016,record8.What seemingly impossible goal does Sala have?cating the public to protect the ecosystems.B.Calling on people to actively respond to climate change.C.Going to old days when corals were in healthy condition.D.Leading an expedition to the South Pacific Ocean.9.What does the underlined word“This”in paragraph6refer to?A.The bad news.B.The second diving.C.The reef’s restoration.D.The cheerful mood.10.What can we infer about Caribbean from Sala’s words?A.There is abundant fish in its ocean.B.Algae lie thick over corals there.C.Global warming does little harm to its marine life.D.Corals come back to life thanks to government’s efforts.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Kiribati—A Country of BiodiversityB.A Scientist’s Love for DivingC.The Coral Reef Restored ItselfD.Ocean Warming Bothered GovernmentD“Practice makes perfect”is a very popular expression.However,can we take this saying literally?Many scientific studies have sought to either prove or disprove this idea.One popular theory is that if a person practises for at least10,000hours,they will reach “perfection”,or become an expert in their field.This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his2008best selling book,Outliers:The Story of Success.He mentioned the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates.Although they all seemed to have lots of natural talent,they also clearly put in over10,000hours of practice before they became successful.Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson,who argued that Gladwell misinterpreted his research.Firstly,Ericsson stated that10,000hours was an average figure.Some people needed far fewer than10,000hours,and others many more.More importantly,Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough;the type and quality of practice was also essential.He went on to explain the importance of“deliberate practice”,which is when a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole.A more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26%of reaching an expert level.Many people say that natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert.Another natural factor is physical superiority,which is especially evident in sports.IQ,personality,attitude,and starting age are decisive,too.But becoming an expert doesn’t equal instant success,which also relies on social and environmental factors.In conclusion,practice may not make perfect,but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to significant improvement.Based on Ericsson’s research,here are some tips on how to practise effectively:be motivated;make specific and realistic goals;work outside your comfort zone;be consistent and persistent;and get plenty of rest!For those wanting to become an expert in something,remember that being motivated is key-enjoy what you do and follow your passions.12.How did Gladwell support his idea?A.By listing numbers.B.By using examples.C.By interviewing famous people.D.By mentioning other researchers.13.Which of the following may Ericsson disagree with?A.Practice alone is far from enough.B.10,000hours of practice leads to success.C.Practice hours vary from person to person.D.Deliberate practice is much more effective.14.What does paragraph4mainly talk about?A.The role of practice.B.Factors in creating experts.C.The importance of natural talent.D.Warnings for experts.15.What is the author’s attitude to the idea“Practice makes perfect”?A.Favorable.B.Intolerant.C.Doubtful.D.Objective.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能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But earlier that morning, I was ready to push myself out of my comfort zone. Jenny stared at the ride, eager to experience the same excitement as the brave group of riders in front of us. I couldn’t say no.After climbing into our seats, an attendant reached up, pulled down the bar, and locked it in place. The ride lifted us slowly, then turned us over like the blueberry pancakes I had eaten three hours earlier, and hoped to keep in their proper place. As I stared at the concrete directly below us, I had a sudden feeling of great fear. I wondered if I had replacement coverage for the phone that I was sure would slip out of my pocket and break into a million tiny pieces. I wondered when my new health insurance would kick in.The ride touched down after twisting and turning our bodies. My friend was waiting for us at the exit. “How was it?” she asked. “Fine. No big deal,” I said, even though my head was spinning(旋转)like one of the other annoying machines dotting the midway.Jenny walked ahead of us and convinced me to keep taking chances and sample more rides. “Oh, look at the pirate ship(海盗船)!” she said. “That looks like a calm ride.”“Let’s go, Auntie!” she said as she rushed to join others in line.I followed her, confident the ride would be uneventful. When I reached the bottom, I tapped out likea WWF wrestler admitting defeat. Although my body was shaking and my head was still spinning, I felt exhilarated just like I was on cloud nine. That morning, I had set a goal, taken my first step to reach it, and felt the joy of achievement.Each time you try something for the first time, you will grow—a little piece of the fear of the unknown is removed and replaced with a sense of satisfaction.4.

It has been used to make snow for the sport of skiing. And farmers use it to water their crops. But it has not been used directly for drinking water.Recently, California officials approved new rules to let water agencies recycle wastewater and put it right back into the pipes that carry drinking water to homes, schools, and businesses. It is a big step for California.California’s new rules would let—but not require—water agencies to take wastewater, treat it, and then put it right back into the drinking water system. That means proving to people that recycled water is not only safe to drink but also not dirty. California would be just the second US state to permit this, following Colorado. It has taken officials more than 10 years to develop these rules, a process that included several studies by independent groups of scientists.A project in Sa n Diego is aiming to produce nearly half of the city’s water through recycling wastewater by 2035. And the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California aims to produce up to nearly 570 million liters(升)a day for its 19 million people. Adel Hagekhalil is with Metropolitan Water. He said the new rules will permit new projects that have not yet been considered.California’s new rules require the wastewater be treated for all bacteria and viruses, even if they are not present in the wastewater. In fact, the treatment is so intense that it removes all of the minerals that make fresh drinking water taste good. That means the minerals need to be added back at the end of the process. Polhemus is a director of the drinking water group for the California Water Resources Control Board. “It’s at the same drinking water quality, and probably better in many instances,” he said, adding that it takes time and money to build these treatment centers. So, they will only be available for bigger cities at first.8. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us about the recycled wastewater?A.Its qualities. B.Its functions.C.Its target users. D.Its disadvantages.9. What do California and Colorado have in common?A.They made some new rules on pollution.B.They spent ten years recycling wastewater.C.They tried to make wastewater safe to drink.D.They requested water agencies to speed up treating water.10. What is Polhemus’s attitude to turning recycled wastewater to drinking water?A.Doubtful. B.Favorable. C.Pessimistic. D.Indifferent.11. What is the best title for the text?A.The Process of Recycling Wastewater Is ComplicatedB.California Tries to Reduce the Wastewater GenerationC.California Permits Turning Wastewater to Drinking WaterD.New Wastewater Treatment Projects Have Been Approved“Given that signs of Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症) start to accumulate in the brain several decades before the disease begins, understanding the connection between sleep and cognition (认知) earlier in life is critical for underst anding the role of sleep problems as a risk factor for the disease,” said study author Yue Leng, PhD, of the University of California, San Francisco.The study involved 526 people with an average age of 40. They were followed for 11 years. Researchers loo ked at participants’ sleep duration and quality. Participants wore a wrist activity monitor for three continuous days on two occasions approximately one year apart to calculate their averages. Participants slept for an average of six hours. Participants also reported bedtime and wake-up time in a sleep diary and completed a sleep quality survey with scores ranging from 0 to 21. A total of 239 people reported poor sleep with a score greater than five.Researchers also looked at sleep fragmentation (碎片化), a measure of restlessness during the sleep period expressed as a percentage. The higher the value, the more sleep is interrupted. Participants were divided into three groups based on their sleep fragmentation score. Of the 175 people with the most interrupted sleep, 44 had poor cognitive performance 10 years later, compared to 10 of the 176 people with the least interrupted sleep.After adjusting for age, sex, race, and education, people who had the most interrupted sleep had more than twice the possibility of having poor cognitive performance when compared to those with the least interrupted sleep. There was no difference in cognitive performance at midlife for those in the middle group compared to the group with the least interrupted sleep.However, due to the small sample size, the researchers were unable to fully investigate potential race or sex differences. “More research is needed to assess the link between sleep disturbances and cognition at different life stages and to identify if critical life periods exist when sleep is more strongly associated with cognition,” Leng said.12. What do we know about Yue Leng’s study?A.Data collection was an easy process. B.It aimed to find a cure for Alzheimer’s.C.The results were far from satisfactory. D.Higher scores mean poorer sleep quality.13. What can we learn about sleep fragmentation in the study?A.It did require outside intervention. B.It included a series of memory tests.C.It measured short interruptions of sleep. D.It determined those participants’ groups.14. What do the findings indicate according to the text?A.The quality of sleep may affect cognitive health.B.Keeping a sleep diary can improve one’s sleep quality.C.People sleeping well won’t suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.D.People with i nterrupted sleep won’t have memory problems.15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The major limitation of the study.B.An explanation of the research method.C.A possible reason for the study findings.D.The use of careful investigations in real life.Test anxiety exists and is a common problem among students. 16 . When you’re stressed and anxious during an exam, your mind has a tendency to go completely blank. Here are some tips on how to reduce or overcome test anxiety.Get to know the materialFirst, you need to know the topic of the exam. 17 . Knowing as much as possible about the material can get you ready for the test. As to any exam, learn your material thoroughly. Memorize what needs to be memorized and understand what needs to be understood.Slow down and calm yourself18 . So when the test starts, rather than immediately jumping to answer the questions, relax first to get your mind to work. Wait for the class to settle down before you start answering. Saying a few words of encouragement and conscious breathing can help you calm yourself down.19If you have an hour for an exam, try to consume every second of that hour in answering the best possible choice. There are no rewards for finishing first!Silence unwanted pressuresBelieve it or not, chances are that other students can be a source of major anxiety during the test. Seeing them cramming (恶补), telling you what you need to remember and what might show up in the exam will affect your preparation. Get past through the negative and unwanted thoughts and remind yourself of how well you know about the topic. Avoid speaking with any fellow classmates who are not prepared and who express negativity. 20 .Zac Clark was doing yard work with his mother this past weekend. They ______ heard their neighbor’s wife calling for help.

It is believed that Beethoven died from liver and kidney disease at age 56. But the process of understanding what caused his many health problems has been a much more complicated puzzle, one that even Beethoven himself hoped doctors could eventually solve.An international team of researchers set out nearly a decade ago to partially fulfill Beethoven’s wish by studying locks of his hair. Using DNA analysis, the team determined which ones truly belonged to the composer and which did not, and sequenced Beethoven’s genome(基因组). The findings, published in a March 2023 report, revealed that Beethoven had significant genetic risk factors for liver disease. But the results didn’t provide any insights into the underlying causes of his deafness, which began in his 20s, or his stomach issues.Beethoven’s genome was made publicly available, inviting researchers around the world to investigate remaining questions about Beethoven’s health. In addition to high concentrations of lead, the latest findings showed arsenic(砷)and mercury(汞)that remain trapped in the composer’s strings of hair nearly 200 years after his death, according to a new letter published Monday in the journal Clinical Chemistry. The surprising insights could provide new windows into Beethoven’s persistent health problems.4. What might have caused Beethoven’s long-term health problems?A.Loss of hearing. B.High levels of lead in his body.C.Constant complaints. D.Lack of doctor’s treatment.5. The underlined word “wish” in paragraph 3 may refer to________.A.Examining his hair. B.Curing him of the disease.C.Identifying the cause of his illness. D.Conducting DNA analysis.6. What did the report in 2023 find out?A.The potential cause of his deafness.B.The sequence of his genetic material.C.The hair that truly belonged to Beethoven.D.Beethoven’s carrying a great genetic risk of liver disease.7. Why does the author mention the latest findings in the last paragraph?A.To confirm the earlier result.B.To contradict the previous findings.C.To draw a conclusion about the contributing factors.D.To provide a better understanding of the cause of his illness.One morning in June 1986, I placed an empty snail shell into a tide pool on Long Island. A hermit crab(寄居蟹)came by, inspected the shell, and quickly exchanged it for its old one. Soon another crab found the abandoned shell, did the same, and moved on. About 10 minutes later a third crab found the second’s old home and claimed its prize, leaving behind its damaged one.It may seem strange, but these small creatures are making use of what sociologists call a “vacancy chain(空缺链)”—an organized method of exchanging resources in which every individual benefits by claiming a more desirable possession abandoned by another individual. Recent studies have revealed two types of vacancy chains in hermit crabs: synchronous and asynchronous. In the asynchronous type(like what I observed), usually one crab at a time comes across a vacant shell without other crabs nearby. But in synchronous chains, they line up by size behind the one examining a vacant shell. Once it moves into the new shell, the others quickly follow, each taking the better-suited shelter in line.Though research on vacancy chains in animals beyond hermit crabs is limited, early evidence suggests that the strategy has evolved widespread. Humans follow the same pattern. Studies in 1960s Manhattan showed how new apartments triggered a chain reaction, allowing many families to upgrade their housing. Car dealers in the early 20th century adopted a similar system, trading in old cars to facilitate new sales. Vacancy chains highlight that resource distribution is not just about competition but also about the efficient transfer of resources, shedding light on issues like housing shortages and even crime.Not long ago, I returned to the beach where my observations began. Watching the hermit crabs crawl through the tide pool, I felt grateful and delighted, realizing that some patterns of our social life are so fundamental that we even share them with rather primitive creatures.8. Where was the second crab’s original shell according to paragraph 1?A.It was taken by the first crab. B.It was exchanged with a snail.C.It was occupied by the third crab. D.It was left behind in the tide pool.9. Which of the following is correct about the two kinds of chains?A.Asynchronous chains occur only in animals.B.Asynchronous chains involve fighting over resources.C.Synchronous chains involve crabs queuing up by age.D.Synchronous chains occur when crabs gather in the same place.10. Which of the following can set off a “vacancy chain”?A.Winning a bet. B.Storing canned food.C.Selling old vehicles for new ones. D.Buying disposable plastic bottles.11. What does the passage imply about the significance of studying vacancy chains?A.It may suggest new ways to care for crabs.B.It may reveal how competition is stimulated.C.It may highlight the importance of saving resources.D.It may give insights into human resource distribution.A bestseller by Giulia Enders explores the fascinating world of the human digestive system and its profound impact on overall health. One of the key takeaways is the idea that the gut(肠)is not just a digestion machine, but a complex and intelligent organ that influences our immune system, brain function, and emotional well-being.The book explores the gut-brain connection, explaining how the gut communicates with the brain and can influence mood and behavior, highlighting the link between gut health and mental conditions like anxiety and depression. Enders also explains how the gut’s nervous system functions independently of the brain and why it’s often called the “second brain.”Another key point is the impact of diet on gut health. Enders advises incorporating fiber-rich foods, fermented products(like yogurt), and probiotics(good bacteria)into our diet to nourish beneficial gut bacteria. She also warns against the overuse of antibiotics(抗生素), which can upset the balance of gut bacteria and lead to digestive disorders.The book also provides insight into common digestive problems and breaks down how these issues can be managed or prevented by making simple lifestyle changes, like eating slowly and managing stress. Enders explains the digestive process in a simple and engaging way, highlighting the importance of a healthy gut and offers practical advice on supporting its function, such as avoiding overly processed foods and eating mindfully.Enders also touches on the significance of the immune system in the gut, where a large portion of immune cells reside. A healthy gut microbiome(肠道微生物组)can strengthen the immune response, while an imbalanced gut may lead to increased risk to infections and autoimmune diseases.Enders successfully makes the science of the gut accessible and relatable, showing that by understanding how this often-overlooked organ works, we can make informed choices that significantly improve our health and happiness.12. What does the underlined word “takeaways” in paragraph 1 mean?A.Differences. B.Conclusions. C.Causes. D.Goals.13. What does the author might agree with?A.An unhealthy gut will definitely lead to immune disorders.B.The gut’s nervous system interrelates with the brain in its function.C.Eating slowly or managing stress helps avoid some digestive problems.D.The more fiber we include in our diet, the healthier our gut will become.14. Which one can best serve as the title of the book by Giulia Enders?A.Gut Health Is Above Wealth.B.Eat Your Way to Good Health.C.Immune System: A Deciding Factor in Overall Health.D.Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body’s Most Underrated Organ.15. What is the text?A.A book review. B.A research paper.C.An advertisement for a book. D.A chapter of a book.When you get up in the morning, what is the first thing that you tend to do? By chance, is it to check notifications on a cell phone? 16 That usually means using the newest technology in nearly every aspect of life.17 One sensible approach is to set goals, use time limits, and avoid letting any single medium or electronic platform take up the lion’s share of your time.One major impact of advanced technology has been the change in the way people read. After centuries of reading the printed page, people now do much of their reading on various kinds of screens for the reason that the shift is convenient and cost-effective. 18 One concern is that light from computer and phone screens can eventually cause teary eyes. In addition, recent research has found advantages to reading on paper. Professor Virginia Clinton of the University of North Dakota examined results from 33 studies on reading. This research indicates that students demonstrated better comprehension when reading on paper rather than on screens. 19 It simply suggests that reading on paper has not yet lost its value.How often do people find themselves watching videos or using websites only to find that hours have passed with their original goal unfulfilled? That is because designers use artificial intelligence to create video feeds and music streaming programs that absorb your attention for as long as possible. Therefore, it is more important than ever to be able to take a step back. 20 In doing so, it can give them back their time and sense of agency.In many ways Mack and Cameron were typical high school friends.

AMonet: The Immersive(沉浸式)ExperienceMonet: The Immersive Experience in Liège invites you to step into the world of the French painter Claude Monet, one of the greatest artistic geniuses of the nineteenth century!Explore some of the most breathtaking paintings by Claude Monet with the help of a digital 360-degree presentation. The unique exhibition concept is staged with state-of-the-art multimedia technology, which shows very large images of Monet’s paintings on the wall s and floors of the building.It has music, the smell of flowers, and voice-over in severallanguages to make the paintings come alive in a way never seen before.To fully get into the world of the French painter, visitors are guided through three experience rooms.Each room is a highlight on its own and provides visitors not only with an insight, but also with new experiences and new viewpoints on Monet’s life, his work and his masterpieces.Practical info·Date: from March 2024·Opening hours:Wednesday, Thursday: 10: 00 am-7: 00 pmFriday: 10: 00 am-8: 00 pmSaturday: 9: 00 am-8: 00 pmSunday: 9: 00 am-7: 00 pmMonday and Tuesday: Closed·Duration: the visit will take around 60 to 75 minutes·Location: Eglise Saint-Pholien, Rue Saint-Pholien, 4020 Liège·Please consult the FAQs of this experience here1.How does the exhibition help visitors explore Monet’s paintingsA.It uses digital technology.B.It gives lectures on art.C.It offers stages to visitors.D.It provides language services.2.What will visitors experience in the three roomsA.An exploration on French art.B.An introductory tour of painters.C.A unique journey to Monet’s world.D.An encounter withMonet-inspired artworks.3.Which of the following is a recommended visiting timeA.11: 30 am(Wed, Feb 21).B.10: 00 am(Tue, Mar 19).C.6: 30 pm(Thur, Mar 28).D.4: 00 pm(Sun, Apr 7).BThe Music Educator Award, this year, went to Annie Ray, an orchestra (管弦乐队)director at Annandale High School.She was recognized for her efforts to make music accessible to all students, particularly those with disabilities.Ray got to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles and bring home a $10,000 prize.Ray created the Crescendo Orchestra for students with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly 200 caregiver s a year to play the same instrument as their child.Ray also works with a local charity to give damaged instruments a second life in her classroom.The orchestra is about much more than just making music.The most important is to give students a chance to develop their cooperation skills, make mistakes and learn the art of refining something.Ray pushes her students to be brave, go outside their comfort zone and realize they have to learn how to make bad sounds before learning how to make good sounds.And they teach her a lot in return.“They changed my educational philosophy.I understand what it truly means to meet astudent where they’re at and apply that elsewhere,” she said.The warm reception on the ceremony was meaningful.Actually, not many people understand what exactly music educators do or how much their work matters.While her administration is supportive, that lack of understanding is a problem facing the profession in general.Another is resources.She say s her school “desperately” needs new instruments.She will use some of her prize money to buy moreRay also plans to put some of the money towards an ongoing scholarship for students who want to pursue music when they graduate.She knows of several, those particularly interested in music, and aims to offer financial support needed to realize their musical dreams.“It is hard but truly satisfying,” Ray said.“And there’s nothing else like it for them.”4.What can we learn about Ray from the first two paragraphs A.She hosted the award ceremony.B.She brought music to more people.C.She gave away instruments to the poor.D.She founded a local charity for children.5.What do students benefit most from the orchestraA.They acquire in-depth musical knowledge.B.They make friends with the like-minded.C.They gain personal growth from playing music.D.They improve their connections with educators.6.What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly aboutA.The reception on the ceremony.B.Importance of music education.C.Challenges for music educators.D.Plans to obtain resources.7.What does Ray find satisfying according to the last paragraph A.Winning a scholarship.B.Developing interest in music.C.Making musical achievements.D.Transforming dreams into reality.CAn ancient Lati n proverb says “Aquila non capit muscas” —cagles don’t hunt flies—meaning that important ones shouldn’t concern themselves with small, insignificant matters.But the lions in East Africa should concern themselves with the seemingly insignificant ants, because these ants are changing their lifestyles.The story start s with the acacia trees(金合欢树)in an African wildlife area in central Kenya.Some of these acacia trees provide food and shelter for specific an t species, which in turn defend the tree against herbivores(食草动物).The ants are actively attacking and driving away herbivores that attempt to feed on the tree’s leaves.This is highly effective; the ants not only physically harm the herbivores but also release chemicals that can deter other potential attackers.But these ants are in trouble.Another species called the “big-headed” an t is destroying entire groups of tree-protecting ants.This, in turn, sets off an entire chain of events that ends up influencing when and howlions can hunt.This ant invasion(入侵)affects one thing after the other.It leaves the acacia trees defenseless against herbivores especially elephants.The elephants come in and eat the acacias at five to seven times the rate observed in uninvaded areas.The lions, while hunting for food, have no more trees to use for hiding.This reduced tree cover makes lions less successful at hunting and pushes them to find different areas to hunt in.“These tiny invaders are pulling on the ties that put an African ecosystem together, determining who is eaten a ndwhere,” said Todd Palmer, an ecologist from Florida.The lions, which are already endangered, are managing to cope with this by no longer focusing their attention on zebras.The zebras, of course, can see them much better on the approach given the lack of cover.Instead, they are targeting water buffalo.But this also isn’t the end of the story.Who knows what the lions’ changing strategy will mean for the ecosystem down the line8.What does the underlined word “deter” in paragraph 2mean A.Direct.B.Discourage.C.Identify.D.Seek.9.What role do the elephants play in the chain reaction A.Cooperating with “big-headed” ants.B.Damaging the hiding place for lions.C.Protecting the acacias from herbivores.D.Starting off thedisturbance of the chain.10.The author mentions lions, zebras and water buffalo to show that ______.A.animals fall victim to bigger ones B.the ecology is on the road to recoveryC.animals are corelated in the ecosystem D.species are firmly positioned in the food chain11.What is the text mainly aboutA.What ecologists find about animals.B.Why African lions are endangered.C.How tiny ants affect the way lions hunt.D.How the law of the jungle works in Africa.DAt a conference last week, I received an interesting piece of advice: “Assume you are wrong.” The advice came from Brian Nosek, a fellow psychology professor.He wasn’t objecting to any particular claim I’d made—he was offering a strategy for pursuing better science, and for encouraging others to do the same.To understand the context for Nosek’s advice, we need to take a step back—to the nature of science itself. Despite what many of us learned in elementary school, there is no single scientific method.Just as scientific theories change, so do scientific methods.Assuming you are right might be a motivating force, sustaining the enormous effort that conducting scientific work requires.But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal attacks, and for scientific arguments to develop into personal battles.Beginning, instead, from the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to be viewed as a helpful pointer, a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong—a goal that your critic probably shares.Nosek’s advice may sound pessimistic, but it’s not so foreign to science.Phi losophers of science sometimes refer to the “pessimistic meta-induction(元归纳)” on the history of science: All of our past scientific theories have been wrong, so surely our current theories will turn out to be wrong, too.That doesn’t mean we haven’t made pr ogress, but it does indicate that there is always room for improvement—ways to be less wrong.I like the advice because it builds in an awareness of our limitations anda readiness to accept the unknown(“there are things I do not know!”)along with a sense that we can do better(“there are things I do not know yet!”).It also builds in a sense of community —we’re all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right. Perhaps the focus on a shared goal—our goal as scientists and humans of being less wrong—can help make up for any harm in scientific motivation or communication.12.Why did Nosek send the adviceA.To express opinions about my claims.B.To remind me to be open to criticism.C.To encourage me to take up science.D.To better my understanding of psychology.13.How does assuming you are wrong helpA.It motivates scientists to make efforts.B.It addresses personal attacks and conflicts.C.It sets a constructive improvement goal.D.It contributes to a deeper insight into yourself.14.What does the author think of science theories A.Dynamic.B.Testable.C.Pioneering.D.Well-established.15.Which of the following is the best title for the textA.Accept the Unknown B.Aim to Be Less WrongC.Get Engaged in Psychology D.Dig into the Nature of Science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。
