We 22 on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a 23 built rock wall. The front of the house though is another story 24 instead of a wall along the sidewalk the rocks appear to be just 25 onto the dirt as if 26 were in a hurry to finish.We did the best we could with what we had to 27 with and called this area our “rock garden”. 28 we had leftover flowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some 29 to the area.Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little 30 that I could not immediately identify. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise claimed that she didn’t 31 . we decided to let it continue growing until we could 32 what it was.Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the 33 plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It was spindly（细长的）looking with a tall skinny stalk（细小的径）and only one head on it.34 I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds（野草）, I noticed 35 . The sunflower had not started 36 I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.That’s when I realized that if a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its 37 of developing, we too have the capability of doing the same thing. Once our environment begins to see that we 38 ourselves like that little sunflower, we can get the same nourishment as well.Stand tall like the sunflower and be 39 who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you.

A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.41.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?A..Children have a better memory than grown-ups.B. People remember well what they learned in childhoodC. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are easy to remember.42. The author explains the law of overlearning by __________.A. presenting research findingsB. using examplesC. making a comparisonD. setting down general rules43. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _________.A. a skill to deal with math problemsB. a special case of crammingC.a result of overlearningD. a basic step towards advanced studies44. What is the author's opinion on cramming?A. It's helpful only in a limited way.B. It leads to failure in college exams.C. It's possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students' learning interest.BAustralia has passed regulations that will enable more international students to further their education in the country.The new measures were released by the Australian Department of Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations in September and will take effect in mid-.As a result, the student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified, and the deposit (押金) required to study in Australia has been reduced. Language requirements for overseas students have also been eased.Also, overseas students receiving a higher education in Australia will be granted a working visa lasting from two to four years after graduation, as long as they meet the basic IELTS requirement."This change will definitely make Australia a more attractive destination for Chinese students planning to study overseas," says Wang Lan, a consultant from Education International Cooperation Group (EIC), a Beijing-based company that provides services to students wishing to study overseas.However, in the past few years, many of Wang's student clients(客户) could not start studies in Australia because they did not meet the language requirements, visa processing took a long time and deposit regulations were tough. The change in policy is good news for the parents of students wishing to study in Australia, Wang says.A 22-year-old female student surnamed Li, in Beijing, who is planning to do her postgraduate studies in Australia, learned about the policy change several weeks ago."According to the previous deposit requirement for my student visa, my family was required to put down 550,000 yuan ($86,850). Now we only need to prepare 410,000 yuan. This is a relief for my parents," Li says.She also says that the two to four years working visa makes her feel much clearer about her study plans."I believe several years of working experience abroad will strengthen my competitiveness when I return to China," she says.Gaining a competitive advantage is the major reason for Chinese students to study abroad, according to the report by EIC.45. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Language requirement for overseas students have been eased in Australia.B. Australia is a most attractive place for students in China.C. More students will work in Australia after their graduation.D. Australia widens window of opportunity for international students.46. Which of the following is NOT the content of the new regulations?A. The student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified.B. The deposit required to study in Australia has been reduced.C. After graduation, some overseas students can get a working visa in Australia.D. Language requirements for overseas students have been more difficult.47. After the new regulations are passed, _______ .A. more students will come to Australia to workB. more Chinese students will choose to live in Australia.C. more Chinese students will choose to further their education in AustraliaD. the opportunities to work in Australia decrease for overseas students48. How much can Li's parents save according to the new regulations?A. 140,000 yuanB. 550,000 yuanC. 410,000 yuanD. 86,850 yuan49. Why do many students want to work in Australia after their graduation?A. Their working experience can make them stay in Australia forever.B. They can earn more money in Australia.C. The working experience abroad will strengthen their competitiveness.D. They have to do so according to the new regulations.CShay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play?” Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around and said, “We’re losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth inning (局).I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning.Shay struggled over to the team’s bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted.In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning, Shay’s team scored again. Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (投) came and Shay missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in , Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates, The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, “Shay, run to first! ”Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked.Everyone shouted, “Run to second!” Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.All were screaming，“Shay，Shay，Shay，all the way Shay.” Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “Shay, run to third.” As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “Shay, run home！”Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team.That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world. Shay didn’t make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!50. Not expecting much, Shay’s father still asked the boy if Shay could play, mainly because thefather _________.A. understood Shay did need a feeling of being acceptedB. guessed his presence would affect the boy’s decisionC. learned some of the boys on the field knew Shay wellD. noticed some of the boys on the field were hesitating51. In the bottom of the final inning Shay was given the bat because the boys _________.A. believed they were sure to win the gameB. felt forced to give Shay another chanceC. found Shay was so eager to be a winnerD. would like to help Shay enjoy the game52. The smallest boy threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head, probably becausethat boy ________.A. looked forward to winning the game for his teamB. was obviously aware of the pitcher’s purposeC. failed to throw the ball to the second basemanD. saw that Shay already reached second base53. Which of the following has nothing to do with Shay’s becoming the hero for his team?A. The opposing players failed to stop his running to home.B. The audience and the players from both teams cheered for him.C. The pitcher did not throw the ball to the first baseman.D. One of the opposing players ran to help him.54. What to you think is the theme of the story?A. Everyone has his own strength even if mentally or physically disabled.B. True human nature could be realized in the way we treat each other.C. Everyone can develop his team spirit in sports and please his parents.D. The results of the game should not be the only concern of the playersDThe opening scene of The King’s Speech was, in a word, terrifying. The moment King George VI—wonderfully played by Colin Firth—stepped up to the microphone at Wembley Stadium, a rush of nervousness came over me. It took me back to my school days, standing at my desk, having to read aloud to the class. I whispered to my wife, Jill, “A stutterer(口吃者) wrote this screenplay(剧本).I grew up with a stutter, really afraid of trying to get through simple sentences—knowing that I would then, or later, be laughed at. I still remember the reading when I was in 7th grade at St. Helena’s: “Sir Walter Raleigh was a gentlemen…” I remember reciting, “Sir Walter Raleigh was a gentlemen.” The school teacher said, “Master B-B-B-Biden! What’s that word?” She wanted me to say gentlemen. But by then, I had learned to put my sentences into bite-size pieces and I wasreading it: “gentle”｜breath｜“man”.Ninety-nine percent of the time, the teachers were great. I never had professional treatment but a couple of teachers taught me to put a regular rise and fall in my tone of speaking, and that’s why I spent so much time reading poetry. But even in my small, boys’ prep school, I got nailed in my class with the nickname Joe Stutterer. You get so desperate, you’re so embarrassed. I actually went and stood by the side of my house once, with a small round stone in my mouth, and tried to talk. Jill always thought I was kidding until she saw the movie and saw King George did the same thing.King George relied on the support his wife and the help of Lionel Longue, who, in describing working with other stutterers, said, “My job was to give them confidence in their voices and let them know that a friend was listening.” I was lucky enough to have more than a couple of Lionels in my life. Nobody in my family ever—ever—made fun of me or tried to finish my sentences. My mother would say, “Joey, you cannot let stuttering define you.” And because of her and others, I made sure it didn’t.Through hard work and determination, I beat my stutter in high school. I even spoke briefly at my graduation ceremony in 1961—the most difficult speech of my life. My fight against shyness and embarrassment at my early age has developed my ability to understand others’ feelings as Vice President of the country in public life. I still mark up all of my speeches the say way Firth’s character does in the movie, pencil-marking every line to remind myself to stop, to breathe, to pause—to beat back my stuttering as best as I can. I don’t stutter anymore, and most people who know me only late in my life are shocked that I ever did.By capturing exactly how a stutter feels, The King’s Speech has shown millions of people how much courage it takes for a stutterer to stand up and speak. Equally important, it has shown millions who suffer from the pain that it can be overcome, we are not alone, and with the support of those around us, our deepest fears can be conquered.55. The writer whispered to his wife, “A stutterer wrote this screenplay”, because __________.A. he desired to release his secret to his wifeB. he was reminded how it was as a stutterer on such occasionsC. he thought Colin Firth had a wonderful performance in the filmD. he wanted to make his wife realize why the film was so popular56. What can we learn from the example in Paragraph 2?A. Kids with a stutterer could be made fun of at schools.B. “Gentleman” was very difficult for a 7th grader to pronounce.C. It was impossible for a stutterer to pronounce even very simple words.D. The teacher had a clever way to teach how to pronounce the word.57. Which word can best replace “nailed” in Paragraph 3?A. AttachedB. UncoveredC. HammeredD. Tricked58. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 imply?A. The writer would have a good fortune to get help from many people.B. The writer should realize he had to stand up from his pain and defeat itC. The writer could get enough confidence under his mother’s helpD. The writer must be happy that everyone in his family did not laugh at him.59. To give a speech as well as he can, the writer, reveals the fact that __________.A. he tried to talk with a small round stone in his mouth.B. his wife keeps encouraging him to practiceC. he still marks up all his speechesD. his teacher helps him to put a rise and fall in his tone60. What message is conveyed in the passage?A. Whatever pain and fear we have, we can defeat them if we try hard.B. The similar stories of the writer and King George VI gains great admiration.C. The suffer we had at our early age will have a heavy influence on our future life.D. Stuttering is such a pain for children that we should give help and encourage them.第二节：John, Nicolas, Susan, George and Mary想通过阅读了解有关知识，请根据他们的需求（第61-65题）和6本书的简介(A,B,C,D,E和F)，为他们选择合适的书。

Growing up in Northeast Thailands creative community in Ubon Ratchatani, Bim developed her passion for art at a young age.She took inspiration from anime like "Dragon Ball Z" cartoons she saw on television and the "Manga" comic books she collected. She put years of hands-on practice into her illustrations using brushes, watercolors, and oil paints. In high school, she discovered even more ways to express herself and expand her creative palette when she started using iPad with Apple Pencil.“I quickly adapted to the precision and flexibility of digital painting using Apple Pencil,” Bim says. “It brought my entire art kit into one magical tool, without sacrificing the natural feel of traditional mediums. It allows me a new way to bring my ideas to life.”When it was time to get ready for university, Bim used iPad to bring her art portfolio together, capturing and storing all her mixed media digitally in iCloud. Bim says, “I initially chose Apple technology because of its cloud service for file management and simple-to-learn design interface — iPad has made my life easier.”Today she uses Procreate on iPad with Apple Pencil for all her creative workflows. Features such as QuickShape and StreamLine with Apple Pencil enable her to quickly add layers, outlines, colors, and shadows in an immersive and playful way. “My love for traditional painting and digital art brings me a new sense of balance. My Apple devices help to make this possible from anywhere.”iPad also supports her daily academic work. Bim uses Apple Pencil with GoodNotes for note-taking, and Microsoft Word on iPad for creating art descriptions. “In class, I use iPad Pro to present my work,” Bim says. “And the 12.9-inch screen is large enough for my professor to view my art comfortably.”“Through my art, I want to tell a story that inspires others and creates a space for experimental ideas.”4．What does Bim Wannakit value most about using Apple devices for her art?A．The cost-effectiveness of the devices.B．The ability to create a balance between traditional and digital art.C．The simplicity of the design interface.D．The ease of file management through cloud services.5．Why did Bim choose to use iPad and Apple Pencil for her artistic work?A．They replicated the feel of traditional art materials exactly.B．They provided a cheaper alternative to professional art tools.C．They allowed her to combine digital flexibility with a natural drawing feel.D．They were the only tools available to her at the time.6．According to the article, how has Bim's artistic practice been enhanced by digital tools?A．She can now create larger artworks than before.B．She has access to a wider range of colors and textures.C．She can share her work instantly with a global audience.D．She can experiment with new techniques and styles more easily.7．Bim mentioned that GoodNotes and Microsoft Word have been helpful in her academic work. What are the main uses of these tools?A．Creating detailed sketches for her art projects.B．Organizing her research and writing academic papers.C．Editing photos for her online art gallery.D．Designing promotional materials for art exhibitions.We explore large-scale training of generative models on video data. Specifically, we train text-conditional diffusion models jointly on videos and images of variable durations, resolutions and aspect ratios. We leverage a transformer architecture that operates on spacetime patches of video and image latent codes. Our largest model, Sora, is capable of generating a minute of high fidelity video. Our results suggest that scaling video generation models is a promising path towards building general purpose simulators of the physical world.We train a network that reduces the dimensionality of visual data. This network takes raw video as input and outputs a latest representation that is compressed both temporally and spatially. Sora is trained on and subsequently generates videos within this compressed latent space. We also train a corresponding decoder model that maps generated latents back to pixel space.All of the results above and in our landing page show text-to-video samples. But Sora can also be prompted with other inputs, such as pre-existing images or video. This capability enables Sora to perform a wide range of image and video editing tasks—creating perfectly looping video, animating static images, extending videos forwards or backwards in time, etc.Sora is also capable of generating images. We do this by arranging patches of Gaussian noise in a spatial grid with a temporal extent of one frame. The model can generate images of variable sizes—up to 2048*2048 resolution.We find that video models exhibit a number of interesting emergent capabilities when trained at scale. These capabilities enable Sora to simulate some aspects of people, animals and environments from the physical world. These properties emerge without any explicit inductivebiases for 3D, objects, etc.—they are purely phenomena of scale.We believe the capabilities Sora has today demonstrate that continued scaling of video models is a promising path towards the development of capable simulators of the physical and digital world, and the objects, animals and people that live within them.8．What is the meaning of the underlined words in the text?A．the original raw video data.B．a compressed version of the video data.C．the process of reducing video quality.D．the spatial and temporal dimensions of a video.9．What is the main content of Paragraph 3?A．Sora's ability to generate high-resolution images.B．The process of training Sora on compressed latent space.C．Sora's various applications in image and video editing.D．The emergence of interesting capabilities in video models.10．Which of the following best describes the overall goal of the research described in the passage?A．To create realistic images and videos using only text prompts.B．To develop a general-purpose simulator capable of simulating various aspects of thephysical world.C．To train a network that can compress video data without losing quality.D．To explore the potential of transformer architectures in video and image generation tasks. 11．What is the author's attitude towards the future development of Sora?A．Skeptical.B．Optimistic.C．Neutral.D．Uncertain.Electric vehicles (EVs) are a strong weapon in the world's efforts against global warming. But the effects of EVs depend on what country you are in. In some nations, electric vehicles lead to the release of more carbon gasses than gasoline cars, new research shows.The Radiant Energy Group (REG) compared gas emissions caused by a gasoline vehicle and from charging an electric vehicle. The study compared the emissions caused by charging a Tesla Model 3 to drive 100 kilometers with the emissions coming from an average gasoline cardriven the same distance.Countries where charging an electric vehicle is cleaner than driving a gasoline-powered car use a lot of hydroelectric, nuclear or solar power.Sales of electric cars are rising the fastest in Europe. Data from REG suggests that EVs in Poland and Kosovo actually create more carbon emissions because their electric systems depend so much on coal.In other European countries, however, EVs result in reduced emissions. The carbon gas reduction depends on what energy supplies electricity systems and the time of day vehicles are charged.The countries with the biggest carbon gas savings from EVs use a lot of nuclear and hydroelectric power. An EV driver in Germany reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent over a gasoline car. Germany uses a mix of renewable energy and coal to produce electricity.Germany and Spain create a lot of electricity from the sun and wind. But the sun and wind do not add to a country's electricity system equally throughout the day.For this reason, the amount of carbon emissions saved by driving an EV depends on the time of day it is being charged. Charging in the afternoon, when there is more sun and wind, saves 16 to 18 percent more carbon than at night when electricity systems are more likely to be using gas or coal.Automakers including General Motors, Stellantis and V olkswagen have set targets to sell mainly electric vehicles in Europe in the coming years. U.S. car manufacturer General Motors said it will have all new electric cars by 2022.12．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．The amount of carbon emissions saved by EVs depends on the source of electricity used for charging.B．Charging EVs during daylight hours with renewable energy sources can cause more carbon savings.C．The time of day when EVs are charged can significantly affect their carbon footprint.D．General Motors plans to sell only gasoline-powered cars by 2022 in the United States. 13．What can be inferred from the fact that car manufacturers like General Motors, Stellantis, and V olkswagen have set targets to sell mainly electric vehicles in Europe?A．The demand for EVs in Europe is expected to decrease in the near future.B．These manufacturers believe that EVs will become the norm in Europe in the coming years.C．Europe has banned the sale of gasoline-powered cars entirely.D．These manufacturers are not confident in the long-term viability of EVs.14．Based on the information in the passage, which of the following is a potential challenge for the widespread adoption of EVs?A．The limited range of EVs compared to gasoline-powered cars.B．The high initial cost of EVs compared to traditional vehicles.C．The inconsistency of renewable energy sources for EV charging.D．The lack of charging stations in rural areas.15．Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?A．The Environmental Impact of Electric Vehicle Charging.B．The Global Shift to Electric Vehicle Adoption.C．The Economics of Electric Vehicle Ownership.D．The Future of Renewable Energy in Automobiles.In the rapidly advancing world of today, the concept of lifelong learning has become increasingly relevant. 16 Rather, it is essential to continuously adapt and learn throughout one's life. This essay aims to explore the significance of lifelong learning in the modern era, discussing its impact on personal growth, career development, and societal progress.17 As technology and knowledge continue to evolve, it is important to stay updated with new information and ideas. By engaging in lifelong learning, individuals can enhance their cognitive abilities, broaden their horizons, and develop a growth mindset. This, in turn, leads to a more fulfilling and enriching life experience.Lifelong learning is essential for career development. In the modern job market, employers increasingly value candidates who possess the ability to adapt to change and learn new skills quickly. Lifelong learners are more likely to stay relevant and competitive in their field, as they are constantly improving their knowledge and skills. 18Moreover, lifelong learning contributes significantly to societal progress. As individualscontinuously acquire new knowledge and skills, they are able to contribute more effectively to their communities and countries. 19 Lifelong learning also fosters a culture of inclusivity and diversity, as it encourages individuals from different backgrounds and experiences to learn and grow together.In conclusion, lifelong learning is an indispensable aspect of life in the modern era. 20 By committing to lifelong learning, individuals can stay updated with new knowledge and ideas, enhance their cognitive abilities, and contribute more effectively to their communities and countries. Therefore, it is important for us to cultivate a habit of lifelong learning and encourage it among our peers and future generations.A．Additionally, they demonstrate a commitment to personal and professional development. B．With the development of science and technology, humans will continue to be replaced by AI. C．Lifelong learning is crucial for personal growth.D．This can lead to innovations, economic growth, and cultural richness.E．It is essential for personal growth, career development, and societal progress. F．Therefore, only lifelong learning, in order to maintain the leading position.G．It is no longer sufficient to acquire knowledge and skills during one's formal education.二、完形填空Once upon a time, there was a small village hidden deep in the mountains.

However,the truth is that non-choosy people may also make their quick decisions,and rationalize them to make them fit,even if it wasn't the best decision in the first place.Section B VocabularyDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.10分A.claimedB.evacuateC.fabricsD.regularE.significantlyF.sinkG.rainstorms H.similar I.initially J.swallowing K.thought“It was a wave of water,”says Oulimata Sambe.She points out the still-sodden(湿透的) armchairs,muddy wardrobe and the water stain a metre and a half up the wall in her small house in Ngor,a fishing village within Dakar,the capital of Senegal.“I had two grandkids on my bed,I had to(31)______them out of the window,”she adds.Not faraway,underpasses on Dakar's scenic corniche(滨海路)became car-(32)______lakes.Just weeks earlier another downpour had turned quiet streets in Dakar into raging rivers and collapsed a section of motorway.(33)______events regularly occur across the region.Recent flooding and landslides also killed eight people in Freetown,the capital of Sierra Leone.In June flooding killed12people in Abidjan,the commercial capital of Ivory Coast.Floods in Lagos,Nigeria’s commercial capital, (34)______another seven lives.Even when they are not deadly,city floods ruin lives and livelihoods.Storm water recently flooded the biggest textile(纺织业)market in Kano,a city in northern Nigeria,destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars’worth of(35)______.Unusually heavy rains have become(36)______more common over the past30years, leaving huge numbers of people at risk.In places this is partly because of deforestation.A recent study by Christopher Taylor of the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology,a research institute,and his coauthors found that afternoon(37)______in deforested parts of coastal west Africa happen twice as often compared with30years ago.Their frequency went up by only about a third in places that kept their forests.Yet(38)______flooding of cities in west Africa is not only caused by heavier rain.Unplanned urbanization is also to blame.As cities have grown,builders have thrown up concrete walls with little(39)______about providing drainage,making it harder for water to find a clear path to the sea.As ever larger areas have been paved over,there has been less exposed soil into which water can gently(40)______away.And as cites get more packed with new arrivals,their few functioning drains get overwhelmed or clogged.III.Reading Comprehension45分Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.15分When Harry told me that he was leaving the company,one of the first things he said to me was that he didn’t like emotional goodbyes.I have decided to take him at his word.Everything you will hear me say tonight is straightforward and___41___,just like the man himself.Harry has been in the finance departent for seven years.In that time,he has not done anything remotely___42___.I asked several people if they had anecdotes(轶事)about him,and the best they could come up with is that he once accidentally changed a formula in the annual budget spreadsheet.Since the___43___was quickly spotted and fixed,it had no impact at all.Will Harry be___44___?Not at all,though for reasons that he may not fully grasp.This is an evening in which the person who is leaving receives presents(as well as a card from people whose names you don't recognize but who just loved working with you).But the___45___goes both ways.The leavers have a parting gift of their own to present:a convenient scapegoat(替罪羊).When someone dies,the convention is not to speak ill of the departed.When an employee ___46___a company,it's the opposite.Things that don't work as well as they should can be laid at the door of someone who won't___47___.Frustrations that have been suppressed can finally be blamed on someone.When we speak of you,we will say things like“Harry had many strengths but...",and we will___48___ourselves that you held us back a bit.This will not be true,but it will be___49___.I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you that we are grateful for this___50___ act of service,which can last for as long as a year after someone has actually left the building. After that,memories tend to fade.I wish I could promise you that you are part of company folklore,or that your role in banning plastic straws from the office will ring through the ages. ___51___,the only guarantee I can give is that no one here will ever read your exit-interview notes.This may all seem a little___52___.You have spent many years at the company,and yet will probably___53___.But in spite of that,you should still feel___54___in your time here.To have done your work well and to leave at a time of your choosing are achievements that are beyond most people.So please raise your glasses to Harry.He has been an excellent colleague and won't really be___55___.41.A.off the guard B.to the point C.in the swing D.on the horizon42.A.funny B.impressive C.correct

the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.22分AWorth nearly$ltrn,Facebook is the world’s sixth-most-valuable company.Its revenues have grown by56%in the past year,and its share price by more than a quarter.Nearly3bn people use its products every month.Why did such a successful company change its name as Meta?The likely official reason for the rebranding is that the firm has outgrown the social network that Mark Zuckerberg started17years ago in a Harvard dorm.Today it includes other social apps (Instagram,WhatsApp,Messenger)and video hardware(Oculus,Portal).It has launched a digital wallet(Novi)and may yet offer a currency(Diem).Mr Zuckerberg expects people eventually to associate his firm more with the“metaverse”(元字宙),a virtual space for work play and more, than with social media.Facebook wouldn't be the first tech giant to do so.In2015Google set up Alphabet,a holding company for the search engine and its many side projects.Under this model,Facebook would become just another app within a wider family,though by far it has been the biggest earner.There is another possible motive for a makeover.For all its financial success,the Facebook brand has become tarnished.The social network is blamed for fueling everything from teenage anorexia(厌食症)to uprising at the US Capitol.Public trust in it is lower than in most tech giants, and falling.Although two years ago the firm started branding its apps as being“from Facebook”, its new smart glasses,which can record video and take phone calls,feature only the logo of its partner,Ray-Ban.A former employee revealed that Facebook was trying to cover up a drop in young American users.Mr Zuckerberg himself has been a reason for much of the criticism of Facebook,and of bossy tech firms more generally.As the all-powerful founder,he has a higher profile than his opposite numbers at TikTok,YouTube and other social networks.Normally,a brand facing a reputational crisis might dump its unpopular CEO.But Mr Zuckerberg’s position is immovable, which may explain why he would want to dump the brand instead.56.Facebook changed its name because________.A.it wanted people to associate its name with universeB.it was trying to follow the fashion led by GoogleC.it expected to expand its business to a wider rangeD.its former name has brought bad reputation to the company57.What can we know about Facebook?A.It was founded by Zuckerberg in Harvard's dormitory.B.It has a positive influence on teenagers’mind and actions.C.It is as popular among young people in the US as it was.D.It produced smart glasses with two companies’logos on it.58.What does the underlined word“tarnished”mean in the passage?A.distinguishedB.abandonedC.globalizedD.spoiled59.This passage probably appears in________.A.a science reviewB.a business magazineC.a technical reportD.the website of FacebookBThe Pros and Cons of Napping●Daytime resting:helpful or harmful?Getting some sleep,even a short afternoon nap,may seem like a good thing for people with sleep disorders.But for those with insomnia and an already decreased desire to sleep at night, midday shut-eye can actually be counterproductive.So before you curl up on the couch this afternoon,consider whether your quick fix might backfire when you lie down in bed tonight.●Trouble sleeping at nightIf you have insomnia,naps present a problem,even if you feel tired during the day.Napping during the day can perpetuate bad sleep habits for people with temporary sleep issues caused by stress,illness,or jet lag too.“Even just a little bit of a power nap reduces your night time sleep drive,”says Ralph Downey III,PhD,director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Loma Linda University Medical Center in Califoria.“The nap becomes nothing more than another episode of fragmented sleep.”●Getting through the dayIf you don't have a problem getting your z’s at night,a quick nap can work wonders to pull you through a tiresome or sleep-deprived day.In fact,a2008study found that a45-minute daytime nap can improve memory function.And previous studies have found that naps can lower blood pressure.Those who suffer from narcolepsy or shift-work syndrome may also benefit from daytime naps,says James Wyatt,PhD,director of the Sleep Disorders Service and Research Center at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.●Fatigue could be a warning signIf you're constantly fighting the urge to sleep during the day and falling asleep instantly at night,you might have obstructive sleep apnea,a condition in which you stop breathing while you sleep.In this case,naps won't help.By wearing a continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP) machine that flows oxygen through your nose,however,you'll likely sleep more soundly and wake refreshed whether from a good night's rest or a quick catnap.60.If you suffer from insomnia________.A.midday shut-eye may be helpfulB.a short afternoon nap is probably a good thingC.napping during the day is considered a good habitD.a little bit of a power nap decreases your night time sleep desire61.A quick nap can be beneficial for common people except those________.A.who have a problem falling into sleep at nightB.whose memory is not good enoughC.who suffer from shift-work syndromeD.whose blood pressure is too high62.It can be inferred from the passage that________.A.naps are helpful for those who have obstructive sleep apneaB.more oxygen through your nose might improve sleep qualityC.a45-minute daytime nap can be beneficial for those with insomniaD.a quick nap can pull everyone through a sleep-deprived dayCDelivering life-saving drugs directly to the brain in a safe and effective way is a challenge for medical providers.One key reason:the blood-brain barrier,which protects the brain from tissue-specific drug delivery.Methods such as an injection or a pill aren't as precise or immediate as doctors might prefer,and ensuring delivery right to the brain often requires invasive risky techniques.A team of engineers from Washington University in St.Louis has developed a new nanoparticle generation-delivery method that could someday vastly improve drug delivery to the brain,making it as simple as a sniff.“This would be a nanoparticle nasal spray,and the delivery system could allow medicine to reach the brain within30minutes to one hour,”said Ramesh Raliya,research scientist at the School of Engineering&Applied Science.“The blood-brain barrier protects the brain from foreign substances in the blood that may injure the brain,”Raliya said.“But when we need to deliver something there,getting through that barrier is difficult and invasive.Our non-invasive technique can delivel drugs via nanoparticles so there’s less risk and better response times.”The novel appronch is based on aerosol(气落胶)science and enginecring principles that allow the gencation of monodisperse nanoparticles,which can deposit on upper regions of the nasal cavity via spread.The nanoparticles were tagged with markers,allowing the researchers to track their movement.Next,researchers exposed locusts’antenna(触角)to the aerosol,and observed the nanoparticles travel from the antennas up through the olfactory nerve,which is used to sense the smell.Due to their tiny size,the nanoparticles passed through the brain-blood barrier,reaching the brain and spreading all over it in a matter of minutes.The team tested the concept in locusts because the blood-brain barriers in the insects and humans have similarities.“The shortest and possibly the easiest path to the brain is through your nose,”said Barani Raman,associate professor of biomedical engineering.“Your nose,the olfactory bulb and then olfactory cortex:two steps and you’ve reached the cortex.”To determine whether or not the foreign nanoparticles disrupted normal brain function,Saha examined the physiological response of olfactory neurons in the locusts before and after the nanoparticle delivery and found no noticeable change in the electrophysiological responses was detected.“This is only a beginning of a set of studies that can be performed to make nanoparticle-based drug delivery approaches more principled”Raman said.The next phase of research involves fusing the gold nanoparticles with various medicines,and using ultrasound to taarget a more precise dose to specific areas of the brain,which would be especially beneficial inbrain-tumor cases.63.This passage is mainly about________.A.a novel method of drug deliveryB.a challenge facing medical staffC.a new medicine treating brain diseasesD.a technique to improve doctors’ability64.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Doctors prefer using methods like an injection to treat diseases.B.Locusts were taggged with markers to track their movement.C.The blood-brain barrier lowers the effectiveness of a pill.D.The medicine could reach the brain within half an hour.65.The researchers focused their study on locusts because________.A.human and locusts have similar structures that protect brain from foreign substances.B.the delivery process consists of the olfactory bulb and the olfactory cortexC.locusts have changeable electrophysiological responses to nanoparticlesD.The shortest and possibly the safest path to the brain is through human’s noses66.________would most be interested in reading this passage.A.A lung cancer patient who needs operation immediatelyB.A college student who majors in medical technologyC.A senior doctor who is about to retireD.A high school teacher who is teaching biologySection CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.8分A.If this is a battle,signs indicate that the pro-phone crowd has already won.B.But rather than expressing firustration about this awkwardness,she said she felt guilty,as if she were the one challenging convention.C.In recent years,the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit.D.The cause of this recent craze was Bouquets to Art,one of the most popular annual events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.E.The truth is people like selfies more than the exhibits way beyond researchers’imagination.F.But the issue is complicated for the professionals running museums.A San Francisco Museum Tackles Art’s Instagram DilemmaA woman held tightly her phone to her heart,the way a missionary might hold a Bible.She was anxious to take a picture of a stunning bouquet of flowers,but first she had toget through a crowd of others who were doing the same.(67)___________For the34th year,florists were asked to create bouquets that respond to pieces of art on display,from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures.A tower of baby’s breath imitates a waterfall in a nearby painting by Gustav Grunewald.Red flamingo flowers and neon blue sticks echo a surreal portrait of a woman by Salvador Dali.It's amazing and also extremely Instagrammable,to the point that it has become a problem.(68)__________Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge draw for museums as well as something that upsets some of their sponsors.So the de Young responded with a kind of agreement:carving out“photo free”hours duringthe exhibition’s six-day run.One common complaint in the ongoing debates over the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them.A study published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is truth to this.It found that people who took photos of an exhibit rather than simply observing it had a harder time remembering what they saw.(69)__________Linda Butler,the de Young’s head of marketing,communications and visitor experience,acknowledges that not everyone wants amuseum to be“a selfie playland”.Yet a lot of other people do,and her take is that the de Young is in no position to claim that one motivation for buying a$28ticket is more valid than another.If we removed social media and photography,she says,“we should risk becoming irrelevant”.(70)__________On this visit to the museum,most people seemed to treat the photo craze as the new normal.Many politely waited their turn and got out of other people's shots even as visitors bumped into each other in crowded galleries.IV.Summary Writing:10分Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main points)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.It is a common sight on campus or in the streets:a young person rides by on an electric scooter,traveling quickly and proudly.But Beijing's traffic authorities have said that starting on Sept.5,people who are caught riding electric scooters on public roads or bicycle lanes will be fined10yuan.They will also be given a warning not to use the vehicles on public roads again.The announcement was made after traffic police in Shanghai started a campaign to get electric scooters off public roads,with police officers stopping riders because the scooters could cause traffic problems.The Beijing Consumer Association said it had tested more than20electric scooters of different brands recently and found that most had substandard brakes.It added that16 of the tested scooters could go faster than the maximum20km per hour set for electric bikes. According to the traffic police,people who ride electric scooters at certain speeds can easily bump into the vehicles in the vehicle lane and hurt people who walk in the bicycle lanes.But seeing the benefits that electric scooters have brought to young people,experts are worried that the ban may take effect slowly.Electric scooters are a great answer to the“last mile problem of getting from a public transport station to one’s home.They're light enough to throw over your shoulder.They're easy to ride just about anywhere and don't need a lot of physical effort.The scooter can travel25km on one charge.It's convenient and easy to control.They are also good for the environment.Unlike cars and buses.electric scooter produce no carbon dioxide,need no fuel and make almost no noise.For many young people,they use them to copy cool celebrities they have seen in videos.第II卷V.Translation:(3+3+4+5=15’)Directions:Translate the following sentence into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.在场的人都觉得他说的话不能证明他是无辜的。

上海市风华中学2024-2025学年高三上学期9月阶段测试英语试题一、语法填空Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages 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 blankAI Weather Forecasting Can’t Replace Humans- YetAs Hurricane Lee was curving (呈曲线) northward to the west of Bermuda in mid-September of last year, forecasters were busily consulting weather models and data from hurricane-hunter aircraft to calculate 1 the dangerous storm was likely to make landfall (着陆): New England or farther east, in Canada. The sooner the meteorologists (气象学家) could do so, the earlier they could warn those in the path of damaging wind gusts and fierce storm surges.By six days ahead of landfall, it was clear that Lee 2 (follow) the eastward path, and warnings were issued, accordingly. But aother tool- an experimental AI model called GraphCast-3 (mate) that outcome accurately three whole days before the forecasters’ traditional models.GraphCast’s prediction is a window into AI’s potential 4 (improve) weather forecasts. But whether it is a forecaster of a true sea change in the field or will simply become one of many tools 5 human forecasters consult to determine which way the winds will blow is still up in the air.GraphCast, developed by Google DeepMind, is the latest of several AI weather models 6 (release) in recent years. Google’s Metnet, first introduced in 2020, is already being used in products such as the company’s “nowcast” in its weather app. All are advertised as having an accuracy that is comparable with or higher than 7 on the best non-AI forecasting computer models and have caused a sensation in meteorology, with GraphCast 8 (cause) the most significant stir so far.The DeepMind research team had put GraphCast through its paces by feeding it historical weather data to see if it could accurately “predict” what happened. The study showed the AI performed equal to or even better than the gold standard.9 GraphCast becomes probabilistic--and even if the model’s resolution improves and the AI becomes more accurate in its forecasts of rain and storm intensity - modeling remains just a single component of the weather- prediction pipeline, says Hendrik Tolman, senior adviser for advanced modeling systems at the NWS. However, every expert described GraphCast and other Al models as additional devices in their tool kit. If AI 10 produce accurate forecasts quickly and cheaply, there’s no reason not to begin using it together with existing methods.But will there be a world where AI models replace physics- based models— and people --in the future? Forecasts suggest there’s little chance.二、选词填空Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words or phrases in the box. Each word or phrase can only be used once. Note that there is one word or phrase more than you need.Alzheimer's Drug Approved Despite Fierce DebateThe -U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved the drug Aduhelm, produced by American biotechnology company Biogen with Japan’s Eisai Co., to treat patients with Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症) disease. The approval was based on study results showing that the drug seemed “ 11 likely” to benefit Alzheimer’s patients, the FDA said.The decision, which could 12 millions of Alzheimer’s patients and their families, has sparked disagreements among medical researchers. While the drug was shown to be effective in slowing the mental decline in patients’ suffering from the disease, it was not proven to be effective in 13 its effects, the Associated Press reported. citing a study. The rate of mental decline in patients that had been administered Aduhelm was slowed by 22 percent when compared to patients who had received a placebo (安慰剂). But even given these results, on a test that is conducted to evaluate the cognitive and 14 abilities of a patient, patients who were administered Adubelm only showed an increase of 0.39 in their- scores. And it’s unclear how such metrics (度量标准) translate into practical benefits, like greater 15 or the ability to recallimportant details.The FDA’s review of the drug has become a flashpoint in 16 debates over standards used to evaluate therapies for hard-to-treat conditions. On one side, groups representing Alzheimer’s patients and their families say any new therapy - even one of small benefit -deserves approval. But many experts warn that 17 the drug could set a dangerous example by opening the door to treatments of questionable benefit.Alzheimer’s is an irreversible, 18 brain disorder that slowly attacks areas of the brain that are essential to memory, reasoning, communication, and basic daily tasks. In the final stages of the disease, the patients will lose the ability to 19 . Science doesn’t fully understand what causes Alzheimer’s, but there’s broad agreement that the brain plaque (斑点) that is being 20 by Aduhelm is one of the contributing factors. Evidence suggests family history, education, and chronic conditions like heart disease may all play a role. “This is a sign of hope but not the final answer,” said Dr. Richard Hodes, director of the U. S. National Institute on Aging.三、完形填空Some people like to read the instructions from start to finish before they take action while others study the diagrams and then jump right in. This 21 for one approach over another when learning new information is not uncommon. Indeed, the notion that people learn in different ways is such a universal belief in American culture that there is a thriving industry dedicated to 22 learning styles and training teachers to meet the needs of different learners.Just because a notion is popular, 23 , doesn’t make it true. A recent review of learning styles found evidence to clearly support the idea that outcomes are 24 when instructional techniques align with (匹配) individuals’ learning styles. Most previous investigations on learning styles focused on classroom learning, and assessed whether instructional style 25 outcomes for different types of learners. But is the 26 really where most of the serious learning occurs? Some might argue that, in this era of flipped classrooms and online course materials, students 27 more of the information on their own. That might explain why instructional style in the classroom matters little. It also 28 the possibility that learning styles do matter. Perhaps a 29 between students’ individual learning styles and their study strategies is thekey to ideal outcomes.To explore this 30 , researchers asked students enrolled in an anatomy class (解剖课) to complete an online learning styles assessment, answer questions about their study strategies and report details about the 31 they used outside of class (e. g. flash cards, review of lecture notes, anatomy coloring books).Scores suggested that most students used multiple learning styles, but that no particular style 32 better outcomes than another. The focus in this study, however, was not on whether a particular learning style was more 33 . Despite knowing their own, self-reported learning preferences, nearly 70% of students 34 to employ study techniques that supported those preferences. Given the popular belief that learning styles matter, and the fact that many students 35 poor academic performance on the lack of a match between their learning style and teachers’ instructional methods, one might expect students to rely on techniques that support their personal learning preferences when working on their own. 21．A．preference B．tendency C．phenomenon D．practice 22．A．identifying B．exposing C．revealing D．establishing 23．A．therefore B．moreover C．however D．instead 24．A．best B．acceptable C．disappointing D．undesirable 25．A．impacted B．challenged C．confirmed D．supported 26．A．network B．classroom C．school D．lecture 27．A．require B．collect C．master D．demand 28．A．limits B．eliminates C．examines D．raises 29．A．comparison B．link C．balance D．match 30．A．issue B．possibility C．field D．proposal 31．A．equipment B．techniques C．notebooks D．assistance 32．A．originated in B．resulted from C．resulted in D．took over 33．A．important B．advantageous C．meaningful D．popular 34．A．failed B．managed C．struggled D．attempted 35．A．count B．concentrate C．blame D．conduct四、阅读理解I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled (摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches; they had taken those. I looked through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him, “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as a person and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension too.“Do you have kids?” he asked.“Yes, here, here.”I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the jail, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.My life was saved by a smile, yes, the smile- the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other, we wouldn’t be enemies.

They accurately reflect what you are doing or have done in each of your previous jobs. In other words, it is the “what you do” of your job. Achievements describe in specific terms “how well” you did in your job.Q: Many of my achievements are team-based, how do I draft them in my Application?A: You should include your team-based achievements in your Application.

Is it possible that we will ever find it? Or, more importantly did it even exist?The short answer to both: No. All available evidence indicates that the philosopher Plato, sometime around 360 B．C．, invented the island nation to illustrate a point about the dangers of aggressive imperialism (势力扩张). In Plato’s telling, Atlantis was no utopia. Rather, it was a centrist to an idealized version of Athens from long before Plato’s time. This ancient Athens was very similar to Plato’s notion of the ideal state. Plato laid out the details for what such a state would look like in his famous work, The Republic. It should be small and virtuous. The residents of Atlantis, on the other hand, were eventually “filled with an unjust lust for possessions and power,” according to Plato’s character who described the island.In Plato’s texts, Atlantis was “larger than Libya and Asia combined,” (which, in Plato’s time. would have referred to modern- day northern Africa and over half of Turkey). It was situated in the Atlantic Ocean, somewhere outward from the Strait of Gibraltar. It’s a landmass large enough that, if it really existed somewhere underwater in the Atlantic, it would certainly appear on sonar maps of the ocean floor.So how did Atlantis come to represent a lost utopic civilization? For that, you can mostly blame (or thank) Ignatius Donnelly. In 1882, the former U. S. Congressman published Atlantis: The Antediluvian World. The book laid out 13 hypotheses, centered on the idea that Atlantis had truly existed, and indeed represented a place “where early mankind dwelt for ages in peace and happiness. According to Donnelly, Atlantis was the original source of many ancient civilizations around the world. If one followed the clues in Plato’s writing, Donnelly believed, Atlantis could be found. He was inspired by a remarkable discovery in the early 1870s. An amateur archaeologist claimed to have unearthed the legendary city of Troy based on Homer’s The Iliad. If Troy, long thought to be fictional, was real, why shouldn’t Atlantis be, too?Donnelly was certain of his theory, predicting that hard evidence of the sunken city would soon be found, and that museums around the world would one day be filled with artifacts fromAtlantis. Yet about 140 years have passed without a trace of evidence. The Atlantis legend has been kept alive, fueled by the public’s imagination and fascination with the idea of a hidden. long-lost utopia. Yet the “lost city of Atlantis was never lost; it is where it always was: in Plato’s books.43．What can we learn about Plato?A．He predicted that Atlantis would be destroyed by aggressive imperialism.B．He was inspired by utopia to gradually form the notion of the ideal state.C．He created the setting in which residents of Atlantis were not virtuous.D．He witnessed Atlanteans’ pursuit of an unjust lust for possessions and power. 44．Homer’s The Iliad is mentioned ________.A．to demonstrate the actual existence of the legendary city of Troy.B．as indirect evidence of the credibility of Plato’s account of Atlantis.C．because it is a great piece of fictional writing about an ancient legend.D．because it contains many clues about the legendary city of Troy.45．According to the passage, Atlantis was ________.A．a long-lost small utopia with many virtuous residents.B．a large landmass situated in the Atlantic Ocean.C．the original source of many ancient civilizations.D．Plato’s invention against which to highlight his ideal.46．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A．Plato, Atlantis and How the City Collapsed and Finally Got LostB．Plato Told a Lie, and Ignatius Donnelly was to Blame for ItC．The History, Legends, and Evidence of the Lost City of AtlantisD．Where Is the Lost City of Atlantis - and Does It Even Exist?Bringing Light to the Darkness with Crisco ArtMost paintings are best enjoyed in galleries with good lighting. But an Italian artist who goes by the name Crisco is changing the way we look at paintings with a new approach: glow (发光）－in-the-dark paint.Crisco's paintings are beautiful in normal lighting, but it is when the lights go down thatthey really come alive. 47 His art mostly shows landscapes. Trees, horizons, and especially starry skies come alive with the glow of his paints. At the center of most of his work, there is often a human or animal figure. The figure may be just a shadow surrounded by the glowing colors, but it often appears to be the source of the light. 48Instead, they are all bright pictures of hope, life, wonder, and growth. They are Crisco's way of adding a little light to the world.Crisco's full name is Cristoforo Scorpiniti. 49 Instead of letting a negative experience get the best of him, he threw himself into a new pursuit: art. According to Crisco, he paints with glowing colors to inspire hope. Though his paintings often show night scenes that look good in the dark, Crisco does not focus on the darkness. Instead, he uses his paintings to express positivity by creating light in the darkness.A lot of his best work has come out of just painting what he felt at the time without any plan or structure. 50 With over half a million followers on Instagram, Crisco is already popular on social media for his unique paintings. He'll surely only get more famous in the future for his inspiring paintings that beautifully mix darkness and light.A．In addition to painting on canvas, Crisco also paints on musical instruments. B．However, no matter what the scene is, none of the paintings focus on the darkness.C．His paintings take you on an unknown adventure into an unknown space, reminding you to be alert and brave.D．Through the use of glowing paint, he brings a sense of magic and energy to the scenes that he creates.E．Studies have shown that expressing themselves through art can help people with depression and anxiety.F．As a self-taught artist, he found his passion for art at a dark time in his life when he found himself suddenly out of work.五、书面表达51．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.Are EV Really Environmentally Friendly?Many consumers are opting for an electric vehicle (EV) or plug- in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) to replace their polluting gas-powered cars. These electrified vehicles are rising to popularity on the premise of environmental conservation and eliminating the need for harmful emissions. There are a couple of things. however, to consider before concluding that EVs are the most environmentally friendly option for consumers.Where do electric cars get their energy? Although EVs create no emissions on board, they typically draw power from lithium- ion batteries. These batteries require charging, either at home or via a publicly accessible charging station. Since EV charging infrastructure is mainly reliant on the power grid - specifically, the grid draws power from plants like coal plants - although your EV does not produce any harmful emissions as you drive it, burning fossil fuels is involved in fueling it. Moreover, temperature extremes like excessive coldness or heat can dramatically reduce lithium-ion battery life. Carnegie Mellon University’s Department of Engineering and Technology says that the most extreme cases of coldness will compromise efficiency by as much as 40%. The decreased efficiency is an issue if the power stored in the battery packs of EVs is sourced from fossil fuel- burning.Besides the power source, metal s such as lithium and cobalt are wrapped up in environmentally and socially questionable processes, too. One of the first environmental issues lithium batteries pose is how to dispose of them properly. In an average battery recycling plant, all parts of the battery are shredded into a powder using a mechanical shredder and then either melted or dissolved into acid — recycling lithium batteries isn’t as simple. Lithium batteries are typically made up of a mix of different elements including cobalt, nickel, manganese and iron —cobalt especially known to be a hazardous substance. In addition, most studies associate lithium mining in South America from salt brine with salinization (盐化) of freshwater that the locals need to survive. Since the mineral contains dangerous substances, the mining process also contaminates the local water basins. So, lithium extraction exposes the local ecosystems to poisoning and other related health problems._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________六、翻译52．他那种急于求成的心态让他无缘冠军宝座。
