Michael was supposed to be here with me, I thought.Two months ago, my husband, Michael, died in a car accident. I tried desperately to keep a brave face for our two young boys but his death left much pain in my heart. Michael had promised to buy our younger child a new bicycle for his eighth birthday. Now, here I was , doing it alone. It was just another reminder of all the other things I’d experience by myself. Birthdays, holidays, even our 18th wedding anniversary which was just in three weeks time. How would I get through those days without Michael?Suddenly, a bright red bike caught my eye. It was perfect for my son. On my way to the register（登记处）I found another red bike—an adult one. My bicycle was unsafe for keeping up with two active boys, so I treated myself.“Don’t forget to buy chains and locks.”The salesman said. I found easily a set of chain and lock matching the bike I had just bought for my little son, but I looked all around the store and couldn’t find a set for mine.“Lord, Michael was so good at this thing. Help me.”I prayed. Just then, on the bottom shelf, I found a set of red lock and chain, a perfect match.On the day of our wedding anniversary I’d never felt more lonely. I could’ve stayed in bed all day. But Michael wouldn’t have wanted that, Ithought. I couldn’t let children feel upset.“Kids, let’s go for a bike ride!”I brought out our three bicycles from the garage. I casually（无意地）picked up a pen with which I wrote down the combination:38,18,38, which I didn’t know why. But those numbers I knew well. Michael and I would both have been 38 years old on our 18th anniversary this year.41. Facing her two children the author _________.A. seldom fought back her tearsB. said that she was sad against her willC. couldn’t control her pain in her heartD. pretended that she was very strong42. The author walked about the bicycle shop mainly to_______.A. buy a birthday gift for her younger son.B. buy a bike for herself because hers wasn’t safeC. buy a reminder to remember her husbandD. buy something necessary for the holidays43. How did the author find her lock and chain?A. She found them easily on the bottom shelfB. She found them at once after she had prayedC. She asked the salesman to help her find them.D. Her husband Michael helped her find them.44. We can infer from this text that the author _______.A. married Michael when she was 18 years oldB. bought bikes to ride at the wedding anniversaryC. had her younger son when she was 30 years oldD. was told to buy herself a new bike by MichaelBBali adventure travelsElephant rideSee the real Bail on the Sumatran elephant!

They use robotic systems to milk their cows. These systems are designed to reduce labor and increase milk production.Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to the milking stations. Only one cow at a time can enter the station. Once inside, the cow is rewarded with food. As the cow eats , a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine. A few minutes later, the milking is completed. The gate is lifted. The cow leaves and the next cow enters. The robotic systems are designed to operate twenty-four hours a day. Cows are milked on average about three times a day. Some are milked four to six times a day. The cows wear collars(颈圈) around their necks that identify them to the system . A computer keeps records on their eating and milking. A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked. The system also measures the temperature and color of the freshly produced milk. Milk is thrown away if it does not pass the tests. Cows need two to four weeks to learn to use the robotic milking systems. Once trained, the cows no longer require human assistance, unless something goes wrong.Professor Plaut heads the Department of Animal Science at Michigan State University. She believes the systems will attract especially the next generation of farmers who are more interested in technology and less interested in working all the time on the farm. Still, she says the price of robotic milking systems will continue to limit their use. Doug Suhr has more than one hundred milking cows on his farm. Last year it became the fourth farm in southeast Minnesota to get a robotic milking system. A recent story in a local agricultural newspaper said the first robot cost $175,000 and the second cost $150,000. Doug says the increase in milk production reaches a high of more than 6 kg percow per day.49. What’s the second paragraph mainly about?A. How robotic milking systems work.B. The importance of robotic milking systems.C. How robotic milking systems were developed.D. The advantages of robotic milking systems.50. Under robotic milking systems, decide(s) whether a cow is suitable to be milked.A. the robotic armsB. the dairy farmersC. the cows themselvesD. a computer51. When is human assistance needed during the milking?A. When the cows enter the milking station every morning.B. When a robotic arm connects a cow to the milking machine.C. When the cows are trained to use the robotic milking system in the first two to four weeks.D. When the temperature and color of the freshly produced milk are measured.52. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the price of robotic milking systems will greatly decreaseB. robotic milking systems are still too expensive to be popularC. most farmers are too old to use robotic milking systems.D. robotic milking systems don’t need to work at nihgt.DPeople fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet-the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins firstplace in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained-and added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War II started, the Taylor moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult（成人）roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butter field 8(1960) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?(1996) Taylor’s fame（名声）and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $ 1 million for her part in Cleopatra-the highest pay received by any star up to that time.Elizabeth Taylor is a legend（传奇人物）of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National V elvet, she has been lucky; she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a bard worked. Taylor seldom acts in movies any more. Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others-several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education.53. The producers didn’t let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought she __________. .A. was small in sizeB. was too youngC. did not play well enoughD. did not show muchinterest54. What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they were both .A. popular all their livesB. famous actressesC. successful when very youngD. rich and kind-hearted55. Taylor became Best Actress at the age of __________.A. 12B. 28C. 31D. 3456. In her later life, Elizabeth Taylor devoted herself to ______. .A. doing business and helping othersB. turning herself into a legendC. collecting money for the poorD. going about research and education workEYou may or may not have heard that Denmark was voted the happiest place to live in the world. When people think of the happiest place, most think of Disneyland. But could Denmark truly be the happiest place to live? I would have to say, it does. Try to imagine what you would consider the happiest place for you to live. Most would say their ideal paradise has sunny weather, nice beaches and is tropical. However, Denmark is far from these. Denmark is a very cold country, where it rains a lot. So how can this cold place make you so happy?I was born and raised in Denmark and lived there for 11 years. The Danes are such nice people (usually) and really enjoy life to the fullest. The country itself is beautiful with so many amazing historical buildingsand beautiful farmlands everywhere.The capital Copenhagen is a fun and exciting place to live. You’ll never find a dull moment there. Now Denmark does, however, have very high taxes. They pay between 50 percent and 70 percent of their incomes, but in return they get free health care and free education. Because of the high taxes, people don’t find jobs to be bad jobs. People really take pride in their jobs, whatever they may be.Denmark truly is, in my opinion, the happiest place to live in the world. I’ve lived in several different countries and none of them is better than Denmark. Sure enough, you may enjoy warmer weather, but the atmosphere and scenery of Denmark can’t be beaten.57. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Denmark is the happiest place to live?A. The sunny weather.B. The historical buildings.C. The farmlandsD. Nice people there.58.The Danes pay between 50 percent and 70 percent of their incomes to .A. maintain their governmentB. meet their high living standardsC. help those in needD. enjoy free health care and free education59. We can infer from the third paragraph that .A. the Danes are not willing to pay the high taxesB. the Danes have to work hard to live wellC. the Danes have no prejudice against jobsD. it’s hard to find a good job in Denmark60. The main purpose of the text is to .A. advise us to go to Denmark for a holidayB. tell us his own experiences in DenmarkC. tell us why Denmark is the happiest place to live in the worldD. tell us the advantages and disadvantages of living in Denmark第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
浙江省杭州2022-2023学年高二下学期3月月考英语试题含解析
A.thatB.whatC.whetherD.where
【答案】D
【答案】infectious##nfectious
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：笑是最具感染力的表达方式之一。根据句意和首字母提示可知，此处填形容词infectious“感染的”，放在expressions前作定语，故填infectious。
3.S________nothing, he walked right into the trap.（根据首字母单词拼写）
【点睛】名词性从句考查的关键是连接词的选用和语序，因此，我们首先要搞清从句的性质，掌握各连接词的用法，在此基础上判断．此外，关注名词性从句用陈述语序．题干中is being accepted 是谓语动词，前面是主语从句，第一个空用that引导，因为主语从句中不缺少成分，也不需要翻译，第二个空是be动词后面的表语从句的引导词，表示"职业"，用whatever，去掉逗号中间插入的部分可知，is前的主语从句"girls can be whatever they would like to be"从意思到成分都是完整的，故选择在名词性从句中不担任成分，无意义的that，

But at least now they are."III. Reading Comprehension （第41-55题，每题1分；第56-70题，每题2分；共45分）Section A (15分）Directions: 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.Miriam Glassman, a top image consultant, is standing in front of her client, Lucy. 'Can you give me an idea of what you are looking for?' she asks. 'Something cool,' says nine-year-old Lucy. Glassman gets some jackets and marches off to the changing room with Lucy. This is a growing trend and the ___41___ for it are obvious: we encourage our youth to be successful and success, as everyone knows, is partly down to having the right ___42___. But when nine-year-olds hi re image consultants, you have to wonder: could things have gone too far?Some of those caring most about image are ___43___. They know that everything — clothes, posture, voice—influences what people think of you and ___44___ , has to be carefully managed. In the 1960 US presidential debate, those listening on the radio believed that Nixon won, while those watching on TV believed Kennedy was the ___45___. The difference was that Kennedy was wearing make-up but Nixon wasn't, and the viewers were ___46___ by his appearance.Celebrities seek help from wardrobe, hair stylists, make-up artists and more just to manage their profile, and these professionals don't come ___47___. Mari a Moriati, stylist to some of Hollywood's A-listers, is said to be paid $10,000-20,000 a time to choose the clothes for a celebrity on a press tour. She will pack each outfit including detailed ___48___('roll up the sleeves twice and undo the top button of the shirt').It's not just them that need an image boost. The cities, too, try to give themselves the marketing ___49___ of a style makeover. They know that most of the tourists don't have the time to think in detail about where they want to go on holiday and instead ___50___ a few simple preconceptions of what a place is like. Those preconceptions are easy to ___51___ on people with an advertising campaign or a catchy slogan.So, perhaps we should step back from our ___52___ in image and focus on what is important. Ignore the gossip and the websites telling us to manage our online profile and instead depend on ___53___ rather than image to reachdecisions. All these suggestions sound sensible, but are they . ___54___? How much research will we really do before deciding which celebrity we like or where to go on our next holiday?And going back to our image consultant, surely Glassman must have reservations about taking on such young clients? Apparently not. 'I get so many calls from teens,' she says. 'School is a(n) ___55___ place and image is important. Lucy is just taking control of hers.'41. A. challenges B. results C. advantages D. reasons42. A. consultant B. goal C. attitude D. image43. A. stars B. politicians C. managers D. designers44. A. therefore B. otherwise C. nevertheless D. besides45 A. guide B. winner C. lecturer D. officer46. A. left over B. looked over C. put off D. taken on47. A. true B. easy C. cheap D. plain48.

A. suitable B. popular C. realistic D. appealing55. A. competitive B. peaceful C. inspiring D. delightfulSection B(22分）Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I was in seat 10F next to the emergency exit. A few minutes after take-off there was a loud explosion. Everybody gasped（倒抽气）and there were a few screams. Then, surprisingly, it went very quiet–everyone was assessing the situation.It soon became obvious we weren't going back to LaGuardia Airport and that we were heading for the water. I started thinking this was it. Then I heard the announcement, 'This is the captain, brace for impact,' and everything suddenly got clear. I had to stop thinking about death, and instead, about what I should do once the pilot landed in the water. 'You sat in this seat,' I thought, ‘you’ve got to get this door open.'At about 300 feet (91.5 meters), I started reading the instructions. There were six steps, and I had just read them two or three times when we hit the water. It felt like the worst car crash you could imagine. Fortunately, I'd just read the instructions and managed to get the door open. The wing was sinking lower and lower. I walked out onto it and walked as far along as I could to make room for other people. It was freezing, and nobody had a jacket. Some people were underwater to their waists.It felt like half an hour before we saw the first ferry, though it could have been only five or ten minutes. I wasfourth onto the ferry, and I started helping people onto the boat. To our relief, everyone had survived the crash.I got through the whole incident by taking it one step at a time: get the door open, throw the door out, figure out if you're sinking. I just kept on doing that until I reached solid ground. Only then did I go into the men's room and cry for a few minutes.56. After hearing a loud explosion, what did passengers, including the writer, do?A. They put on life jackets as instructed.B. They tried to figure what had happened.C. They couldn't help shouting for help on end.D. They asked the pilot to fly to LaGuardia Airport.57. What did the writer think helped him open the emergency exit successfully?A. He sat by the emergency exit.B. He had an experienced neighbor.C. He was once taught how to open it.D. He read and understood the instructions.58. Which of the following words best describes the writer?A. Humorous.B. Aggressive.C. Organized.D. Expressive.59. Which of the following statements is true of the air crash?A. No one got killed in it.B. It happened at the end of the trip.C. The pilot managed to land the plane safely.D. A ferry came to the rescue the moment it happened.(B)City VarietiesThe Headrow. Leeds.

S. spacecraft have successfully landed there, and all of them took microbes to the planet's surface(though the bugs probably did not survive for long). Yet the world's space agencies continue to maintain strict spacecraft sterilization（消毒）procedures in the hope of minimizing the spread of Earth life beyond our planet. For decades this idea —known as planetary protection—is widespread. Now, some scientists say, these procedures are preventing the search for life beyond Earth by raising costs and preventing innovativemissions-without meaningful benefits.Of all missions to Mars to date, only the Vikings, the first trip to the Red Planet, were intended to test for life. Spacecraft that went later did not have that ability. But a future mission will, and the protectionist thinking goes, a spacecraft might not be able to distinguish between a life form native to Mars and one with origins on Earth. In July 2013 astrobiologists Dirk Schulze-Makuch and Alberto Fairen argued against this in Nature Geoscience."If Earth life can thrive on Mars, they almost certainly already do," the authors write. "If they cannot, the transfer of Earth life to Mars should be of no concern, as it would simply not survive."With clear evidence of a water y history and some signs of water present, Mars could be where we find life in our solar system. And with the development of Curiosity's precise landing system, we can finally reach the mysterious parts of the planet. But it's these areas that require a craft sterilization process.In the 1970s Vikings 1 and 2 revealed what seemed like a dead planet, so planetary-protection requirements were relaxed. Now, with more knowledge of Mars' environment, missions set to visit areas with evidence of flowing water below the surface have to meet the strict-and more costly- Vikings standards.Finally, there's the philosophical problem of what responsibility, if any, we have to other planets and any life we leave there. The truth is we're never going to be able to fully protect Mars if we intend to explore it. And spreading is simply what life does."If we want to survive for a long time, we have to expand beyond Earth," Schulze-Makuch says. "There's no other way."63. Strict spacecraft sterilization procedures are meant to ______.A. decrease the costs of space explorationB. help the search for life forms beyond EarthC. contribute to innovative missions in the universeD. prevent Earth life being transferred to other planets64. Planetary-protection requirements were relaxed in the 1970s because ______.A. there was no preclse landing systemB. Mars was considered to be a lifeless planetC. the mysterious parts of Mars remained unknownD. flowing water was found below the surface of Mars65. Dirk Schulze-Makuch and Alberto Fairen are most likely to agree that ______A. Mars is now on the edge of being destroyedB. human beings are too ambitious to expand beyond EarthC. there is no need to worry about bringing Earth life to MarsD. we need to be responsible for keeping Mars what it is like now66 Schulze-Makuch takes a(n)______attitude towards planetary protection.A. optimisticB. relaxedC. debatableD. negativeSection C(8分）Directions: 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.Google is my doctorWhen illustrator Scott Adams lost his voice, his doctors were confused. ___67___ It turned out that Scott was suffering from spasmodic dysphonia-a neurological disorder affecting the musoles to voice. With the help of Google Alerts and advice from his doctors, Scott got in touch with an expert in the US and had special surgery on his throat to cure his problem. He is now a from believer of using the Internet for self-diagnosis.Adams is one of an increasing number of people who have started using the Internet to get health advice. The advantages are numerous, starting of course with the obvious convenience of getting a diagnosis from the comfort of your own home. ___68___ But the Internet can provide a vast number of specialized experts, and Googling can help you tap in to that.Diagnosing min or medical problems from information on the Internet can also have an impact on society's medical costs. You can compare insect bites with Internet pictures, ask what type they are and whether they are dangerous without wasting your busy doctor's precious time.However, it must be sand that diagnosis is tricky, and comparing your rash（疹子）with an online photo may lead you down the wrong path. ___69___ Doctors also take into account your medical history, state of mind, etc. So nocomputerized symptoms checklist can equal a complete professional assessment.In conclusion, the Internet is a good starting point in diagnosing your health problems, but you should always consult your doctor before acting on anything you find there. ___70___.IV. Summary writing(10分）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 fa r as possible.Will people reduce car use in 20 years?Nowadays, the ownership of cars is no longer being recognized as a symbol of one's wealth and social position. Tracking back to the past when only the rich were qualified to possess private cars, we couldn't help marveling at the historic change such a convenient invention brought to people's daily lives. Nevertheless, the increase in the number of car owners is spelling many negative effects. These rising problems also cause some people to predict that the use of cars might be reduced in two decades.Above all, the use of cars remarkably threatens our environment, if such a tendency is not brought under control in time, the Earth will no longer be a suitable place for humans to survive in the future People have to face the consequence. It is a reality from which no one is able to escape. Every day, thousands of private cars are emitting tons of exhausted gas that seriously pollutes the air. The carbon dioxide leads to the worldwide greenhouse effect, 'which causes the sea level to rise and produces negative impacts on weather. In addition, more energy is being wasted because of the production of private cars. In order to build a resource-conserving and environment-friendly society, people ought to reduce the use of cars.In fact, diversified measures are 5eıng taken by the government to limit the use of cars. If such a tendency continues, the effect will be shown in the near future. For example, to reach the goal of building a safe and harmonious society, Beijing Traffic Management Bureau has restricted regional traffic in rush hours on working days.A number of private cars are prohibited on no-driving-days.Last, the advancement of public transportation systems also helps change car owners' way of travelling. Efforts are being made to construct more agreeable networks of buses, subways, trains and airplanes. In the meanwhile, advances in technology might help cut down the cost of travelling in public vehicles.V.

However, after we had been stuck in traffic for more than four hours, one of my sisters proposed going back to the city as a last attempt to save whatever remained of the day. A quick online search revealed other must-visit spots around Shillong. Most were familiar, but one caught our attention — Nartiang with its mysterious monoliths(独石碑). The photo showed tall stones piled together in a strange formation, appealing to us to explore further despite the lack of details provided.That is how I found myself standing in the shadow of the huge monoliths of Nartiang, which is home to the thickest and largest collection in the region. Curious to uncover their history, I approached Мaryo Symblai, a village elder I met later that day, who told me the story of the monoliths that has been orally passed down over generations. She said, “Back in the day, Nartiang didn’t have a bazaar(集市) and the nearest one was at Raliang. On one such bazaar, a giant named Mar Phalyngki was caught in heavy rain on his way back. He requested to borrow an umbrella from the Raliang chief’s youngest daughter, but she wanted to test his legendary strength instead. ‘Why don’t you go lift that huge stone in the bazaar and use it as an umbrella?’ she said dismissively. Emboldened by her challenge, he just did that, but before reaching Nartiang, he placed it in a forest when the rain had stopped.”“There is a certain overlap of ancient story and memory in the case of the Nartiang monoliths. The locals’ account of how the place came to be is based on ancient stories or folk customs. But they also remember it because it served their ancestors as a weekly marketplace, a memorial, and a place for political gatherings. That is how oral history works. It mixes fact and fiction into collective memory”, said Dr Reeju Ray, a local writer.Today, even though the traditional customs and more confirmed historical accounts offer some insight into the site, the mystery of the stone giants lasts.24. Why did the author and his family come to visit the monoliths of Nartiang?A. It was in their original trip plan.B. They had to choose it as an alternative.C. It was the only remaining place to visit.D. An elder villager gave them the suggestion.25. Which does the underlined word “Emboldened” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Threatened.B. Moved.C. Stimulated.D.Frightened.26. Why are Dr. Reeju Ray’s words mentioned?A. To inform what the monoliths served as.B. To illustrate how the mysterious story came into being.C. To introduce the feature of Nartiang monoliths.D. To deny the overlap of ancient story and memory.27. What is the best title for the text?A. A Trip to the MonolithsB. The Mystery of ShillongC. The Formation of the MonolithsD. A Disappointing Travel Experience CIf you find yourself embracing the thrilling chaos of completing tasks at the last minute, congratulations — You are not alone! According to a survey, 20% of U.S. adults procrastinate(拖延) at home, at work, in relationships, and more. Another survey found that 88% of people procrastinate at least one hour a day.Sounds alarming? As it turns out, if you’re feeling stressed, you may be more likely to procrastinate. Essentially, our brains are structured to approach tasks we find enjoyable and avoid those we are afraid of. Our limbic brain(边缘大脑), the emotional part of our brain, is screaming, “Let’s do anything but that stressful thing!” while our prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层) is the CEO of our brain, setting the goals, making a plan, and ensuring we stay on track. CEO vs. Drams Queen Brain — who will win? Actually, there do exist chances when our limbic brain overrides that prefrontal cortex message.Then there’s the burst of energy we often get when we’re up against a deadline, which leads to a reward pathway within our brains and sets the foundation for procrastination as a habit. When you race to the end and get to the goal finally, your previous stress is gone and you almost get in that pattern of “See, I work better under pressure!”So, how to beat procrastination? Well, you need to retrain your brain to cope with the stress. One trick is to take periodic breaks (reward) to refocus your attention on the task. Ever heard of the Promodoro Technique? It’s about working for 25 minutes and resting for 5. During those breaks, forget about brain-burning activities — try relaxing techniques such as meditation or yoga instead. Another trick is to “eat the frog”, or tackle the most difficult and stressful task of the day and do itfirst thing in the morning, as was once said by Mark Twain.28. Why are the two surveys mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To warn the readers.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a phenomenon.D. To make a comparison.29. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?A. We are born to prefer what we like and avoid what we fear.B. The limbic brain is under the control of the prefrontal cortex.C. We are more likely to burst when getting close to the deadline.D. Failing to complete a task can lead to habitual procrastination.30. What does the author suggest readers do to stop procrastination?A. Force the brain to focus.B. Take a break regularly.C. Solve a tricky math problem.D. Eat something refreshing first.31. What is the tone of this text?A. Humorous.B. Ironic.C. Serious.D. Unclear. DTo Swedes, the scent of surströmming(鲱鱼罐头) is pleasant, but to most others, it’s sickening. This contrast highlights the role of culture in shaping our perceptions of scent. However, researchers now suggest that biology might play a more significant role than previously thought.Artin Arshamian, a neuroscientist at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, and Asifa Majid, a psychologist at the University of Oxford, noticed from their own previous work that people from different cultures described smells differently. They also knew from past experiments by other researchers that culture was important in determining which sorts of faces people found beautiful. Thus, they expected to see a similar phenomenon with smells.The researchers conducted a study involving nine diverse groups of people, including hunter-gatherers in Mexico, farmers in Ecuador, and residents of cities like Mexico City and Bangkok. They were presented with ten smells, ranging from isovaleric acid to vanilla extract, and asked to rate them according to pleasantness. The results showed high consistency across cultures, with isovaleric acid universally disliked and vanilla extract mostly enjoyed.Interestingly, the chemical composition of the smells accounted for 41% of the reactions, while cultural factors only explained 6%. It is quite different in the case of visual perception of faces,where a person’s culture makes up 50% of the explanation for which faces they find beautiful. Meanwhile, the researchers identified an “eye of the beholder” effect in our perceptions of scent. This phenomenon, though less obvious than in visual perception, represents the personal preferences that are shaped by influences outside individual culture, accounting for 54% ofthe differences in which smells people liked.This study suggests that our sense of smell may be more influenced by biological factors than cultural ones. It challenges the idea that culture alone determines what we find pleasant or unpleasant and opens up new ways of exploring the biological basis of our senses.32. What is the initial purpose of the research?A. To explore how culture affects our sense of smell.B. To prove all people enjoy the scent of surströmming.C. To examine geography plays a role in scent perception.D. To confirm biology has an influence on scent perception.33. How did the researchers conduct the research?A. By making questionnaire surveys.B. By recording participants’ reactions.C. By comparing cultural backgrounds.D. By referring to previous study reports.34. The underlined “eye of the beholder” effect mentioned in the research refers to _____________.A. the standard of beauty across different culturesB. the role of culture in shaping our sense of smellC. the impact of personal preferences on scent perceptionD. the influence of outside factors on our visual preference35. What can be inferred from the participants’ reactions to isovaleric acid?A. They were familiar with isovaleric acid beforehand.B. They hated isovaleric acid all due to its unpleasant smell.C. Their reactions to the scent of isovaleric acid varied among cultures.D. Their dislike for isovaleric acid was based more on biological factors.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。
浙江省四校联考2023-2024学年高二下学期3月月考英语试卷(含答案)
浙江省四校联考2023-2024学年高二下学期3月月考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解The Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) supports a wide variety of programs to ensure that all youth have the skills and training they need to successfully make the switch to adulthood and careers. These programs include: ApprenticeshipApprenticeship is a combination of on-the-job training and related classroom instruction in which workers learn the practical and theoretical aspects of a highly skilled occupation. Applicants for apprenticeship programs must be at least 16 years old and meet the program sponsor's qualifications.YouthBuildYouthBuild programs give at-risk youth ages 16-24 the opportunity to transform their lives by earning their high school certificate of graduation or an equally state-recognized degree, learning to be community leaders, and preparing for college and other post-secondary training opportunities.Job CorpsJob Corps is the nation's largest and most comprehensive residential, education, and job training program for at-risk youth, ages 16 through 24. Private companies, state agencies, federal agencies, and unions recruit(招募) young people to participate in Job Corps, where they can train for and be placed in jobs.Youth ConnectionsThe Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014 is carrying out a comprehensive youth employment program for serving qualified youth, ages 14-24, who face barriers to education , training, and employment.For more information about youth programs, visit ETA's Division of Youth Services page. 1．What can participants do in the YouthBuild?A. Lead the state communities.B. Study theories of skilled work.C. Obtain a graduation certificate.D. Prepare for secondary training.2．Which program is suitable for teenagers aged 15?A. Apprenticeship.B. YouthBuild.C. Job Corps.D. Youth Connections.3．What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A. To improve youth training.B.To advertise for youth services.C. To transform youth development.D. To introduce ETA youth programs.In 2016, when I was on the graduate scheme (计划) at Deutsche Bank, Marie Inafidon, chief executive of Stemettes, who encourages girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) , was also working there. I didn't meet her at the time, but I did read an article about her and her career.Learning at 21 years old about the career of a young black woman' succeeding in a traditionally white male-dominated industry was one of the most influential things that ever happened to me. It gave me confidence that it was possible to do well in the office and work on personal external project at the same time.Role models can play a central role in shaping a young professional's career. They are especially important if you belong to an under-represented group for whom a lack of representation in the workplace can lead to feeling isolated and lacking in confidence. They can help those just starting out, whether or not they are a graduate as I was, to believe in their own abilities.There's a growing need to have accessible role models. Given the tendency to exaggerate (夸大) success stories, hearing from women who talk honestly about the challenges they have faced, either when starting a business or forming a new career path, is much more effective. A study revealed that 70 per cent of girls say they think differently about their futures after hearing from women role models.I'm frequently asked about what businesses could be doing to increase racial diversity in the workplace. A good starting point is to actively promote and support the voices of the people in the organisation that are leading positive change and inspiring others. This makes a real difference. Unlike the tokenism (装样子) I still come across, which results in individuals being made the lone representative for a group without real support from the organisation.Things came full circle for me when I interviewed Ms. Inafidon for my book in 2019. I was able to tell her of the incredible impact her passion and confidence had had on me as a graduate trainee and how grateful I would always be for that.4．What do we learn about Marie Inafidon?A. She became successful at 21.B. She was a trainee at Deutsche Bank.C. She encouraged girls to take up STEM-related work.D. She helped the author with her external project personally.5．Who can benefit most from role models in the work place according to the third paragraph?A. Experienced professionals.B. A graduate eager to succeed.C. People without special abilities.D. The young from an under-represented group. 6．What is effective in changing girls' mindset?A. Taking on challenging projects.B. Reading more made-up success stories.C. Starting their own business as early as possible.D. Listening to women role models share their experiences.7．What should businesses do to increase racial diversity in the workplace according to the author?A. Encourage positive opinions.B. Make more colored people authorities.C. Include more people of different races.D. Understand the true meaning of tokenism.New York University (NYU) surgeons have performed the world's first transplant of an entire human eye, an extraordinary addition to a face transplant, although it's far too soon to know if the man will ever see through his new left eye.An accident had destroyed most of Aaron James' face and one eye. His right eye still works. But the surgeons hoped replacing the missing one would produce better cosmetic (整容的) results for his new face. The NYU team is doing just that. James is recovering well from the dual (双重的) transplant last May and the donated eye looks remarkably healthy.Today, transplants of the cornea(眼角膜) are common to treat certain types of vision loss. But transplanting the whole eye—the eyeball, its blood supply, and the critical optic nerve(视神经) that must connect it to the brain-is considered a moonshot in the search to cure blindness.Whatever will happen next, James' surgery offers scientists a window into how the human eye tries to heal. "We're not claiming that we are going to restore sight," said Dr. Eduardo Rodriguez, who led the transplant. "But there's no doubt that we are one step closer."Some specialists had feared the eye would quickly become dry and wrinkled. However, when Rodriguez opened James' left eyelid, the donated eye was fat and full of liquid. Doctors see good blood flow and no sign of rejection.Now researchers have begun analyzing scans (扫描结果) of James' brain that detected some puzzling signals from that all-important but injured optic nerve. Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg, who has long studied how to make eye transplants a reality, called the surgery exciting. "It's an amazing confirmation of animal experiments that have kept transplanted eyes alive," he said. "The difficulty now is how to regrow the optic nerve, although animal studies are making progress." He praised the NYU team's "boldness" in even aiming for optic nerve repair and hopes the transplant will promote more research.8．What can be learnt from the first two paragraphs?A. James is fully content with the surgery result.B. The surgeons have transplanted the face and an eye to James.C. James can see through his transplanted eye pretty soon.D. The surgery to replace James' missing eye is underway.9．What does the underlined word “moonshot” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. A task impossible to complete.B. A fantasy existing in the virtual world.C. A project extremely tough to accomplish.D. A mission probable to be complete without effort.10．What challenge are the researchers facing now?A. How to obtain better cosmetic results.B. How to stop the transplanted eye from shriveling(萎缩).C. How to make further progress in animal studies.D. How to grow the optic nerve of the transplanted eye again.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A. James Received Transplanted Eye PerfectlyB. NYC Doctors Perform World's First Eye TransplantC. Various Methods to Treat Different Types of Vision LossD. Advances Made in Eye Transplant and Optic Nerve RepairCould you manage without the internet for four and a half years? That's exactly what the actress Selena Gomez has done in a bid to improve her mental health.She has spoken extensively about the relationship between her social media usage and mental well-being, recalling feeling like "an addict" as to becoming Instagram's most followed user in 2016. "Indeed, I regret quitting from social media that late", says she. "The unnecessary hate and comparisons went away once I put my phone down.”However, the increasing digitization (数字化) means that everything from paying a bill to even making a phone call is at the mercy of the internet. Actively opting (选择) out of the internet becomes a matter of privilege. Ms Gomez's multi-millionaire status has allowed her to take the "social” out of social media. The fact that she's still the second most-followed woman on Instagram suggests it's entirely possible to maintain a significant web profile to promote various projects by way of a dedicated team—without being exposed to the cruel comments.It goes without saying that this is fundamentally different from how the rest of us without beauty deals and films to publicize use the likes of Instagram and Twitter, but even the concept of a digital detox (戒瘾) requires having a device and connectivity to choose to disconnect from.The UK's digital divide has worsened over the past two years, leaving poorer families without broadband connections in their homes. Digital exclusion (数字隔绝) is a major threat to wider societal equality in the UK.Consequently, it's worth bearing in mind that while deleting all social media accounts will undoubtedly make some feel infinitely better, many other people benefit from the strong sense of community that sharing platforms can develop. Greater resources and initiatives are needed to provide the underprivileged with the connectivity they desperately need to learn, work and live. It's crucial that people feeling social media is harmful to their mental health are allowed to switch off and for those living in digital exclusion to be able to switch on primarily.12．What do we learn about the actress Selena Gomez in the past four and a half years?A. She has withdrawn from social media.B. She has won Instagram's most followers.C. She has had worsening mental problems.D. She has succeeded in a bid on the internet.13．Why does actively opting out of using the internet become a matter of privilege?A. Most people think that digital exclusion promotes societal equality in the UK.B. Most people can hardly abandon the web while avoiding hate and comparisons.C. Most people can hardly get by without the internet due to growing digitization.D. Most people have been seriously addicted to the web without being aware of it. 14．What is stressed concerning social media platforms in the last paragraph?A. They are beneficial to people's mental health.B. They create a virtual community on the internet.C. They help many people feel connected with others.D. They provide a necessary device for a digital detox.15．What is the author's attitude towards social media platforms?A. Subjective.B. Objective.C. Disapproving.D. Favorable.二、七选五16．In our fast-paced world, where speed and instant results often steal the spotlight, there's a quiet but great virtue that often goes unnoticed—the courage to go slow. It may sound abnormal, but instead of rushing to implement (实施), we need to slow down. This is particularly relevant when we start the journey of developing instructional strategies. ①_____●Start, add and abandon habits. Understand that habit formation takes time and requires testing, reflecting, and adapting. Set systems that focus you and your team and organization on the implementation and impact on a few key practices. ②_____●Push consistency over intensity. Focus on maintaining consistent effort rather than pushing for rapid, unsustainable changes. ③_____ This occurs because the lasting habits that are selected are implemented every day and reflected upon routinely.●④_____ Celebrate each little victory along the way. These moments of success, no matter how minor, are the building blocks of lasting change.●Seek support. Surround yourself with individuals who support your journey and value the importance of patience. Lean on their encouragement during challenging times.Admittedly, it takes courage to welcome the wisdom of going slow in this competitive world. ⑤_____ Taking it slow with patience enables individuals to travel along this journey with determination, as can be illustrated by the well-known story of the tortoise and the hare.A. Ask for suggestions.B. Applaud small wins.C. It's the slow and steady progress that leads to lasting habits.D. As we slow down, patience becomes our greatest companion.E. Protect these few practices by giving up other unsuitable ones.F. However, is it right for us common people to do so in such a way?G. The question then is, how do we go slow and develop and sustain a new habit?三、完形填空（15空）Adrienne Tully, an amateur photographer, went to the coast of a beach in Belmar, Newwhat he did.17．A. wildlife B. city C. fight D. sunrise18．A. launch B. anticipate C. shoot D. report19．A. cooperating B. forming C. arguing D. encountering20．A. hope B. charge C. absence D. face21．A. confused B. desperate C. anxious D. depressed22．A. fortunately B. however C. otherwise D. therefore23．A. defeated B. deserted C. stuck D. seated24．A. routines B. attempts C. excuses D. routes25．A. ruined B. interrupted C. canceled D. postponed26．A. purposely B. randomly C. elegantly D. heroically27．A. onlooker B. tourist C. surfer D. guide28．A. going B. washing C. thundering D. struggling29．A. ashamed B. mad C. amazed D. expert30．A. went off B. turned up C. settled down D. set out31．A. appreciated B. understood C. awarded D. supported四、短文填空32． The Qinghai Lake National Nature Reserve in northwest China's Qinghai Province has updated ①_____(it) list of protected wildlife, adding 10 species ②_____ the previoustotal of 72, according to a report by the Xinhua News Agency.

The exhibition will be located on Level 3 of Coe Library. It will be on view through Tuesday, May 31.The exhibition takes place at the same time as this year’s 150th anniversary of the creation of Yellowstone National Park. The posters in the exhibition serve the purpose of both advertising and art.“We’re thrilled to be working with Yellowstone collectors Jack and Susan Davís, and Larry and Thea Lancaster to bring this exhibition to the University of Wyoming as part of year-long celebrations recognizing Yellowstone’s 150th anniversary,” says Tamsen Hert, head of UW Libraries’ Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. “This exhibition involves the history of printing, art, photography and advertising over 16 decades. The images reproduced are found on travel brochures, postcards and maps—many of which are held in our collections.”One poster from the exhibition—Henry Wellge’s “Yellowstone National Park”from1904—was recently purchased with donated funds and is now part of UW Libraries’ Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. Wellge, a productive bird’s-eye-view artist, designed the piece for the Northern Pacific Railroad, which used it to advertise the park. This is a unique piece, as posters such as this one were printed on soft paper and very few have survived.16. How long will the exhibition “Wonderland Illustrated”last?A．Two weeks.B．Three months.C．Four months.D．One year.17. What is a purpose of the exhibition?A．To remember a famous artist.B．To raise fund for Coe Library.C．To mark the anniversary of a national D．To tell the history of the University ofpark.Wyoming.18. What do we know about the 1904 poster Henry Wellge designed?A．It is rare in the world.B．It is in black and white.C．It is printed on cloth.D．It is owned by a professor.Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves. Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.19. What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild?A．Living in a group.B．Growing beautiful feathers. C．Feeding on the ground.D．Avoiding coming out at night.20. What is parrots’ first response to an immediate risk?A．To attack back.B．To get away.C．To protect the young.D．To play dead.21. Why would a balloon frighten a parrot?A．It may explode suddenly.B．It may be in a strange shape.C．It may have a strong color.D．It may move around quickly.22. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A．To explain wild parrots’ behavior.B．To give advice on raising a parrot. C．To call for action to protect animals.D．To introduce a study on bird ecology.In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument — and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place. Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered.Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate (阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections (异议) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.These tools can help you win every argument — not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.23. What is the author’s attitude toward Carnegie’s understanding of argument?A．Critical.B．Supportive.C．Tolerant.D．Uncertain.24. Why do many people try to avoid arguments?A．They lack debating skills.B．They may feel bad even if they win. C．They fear being ignored.D．They are not confident in themselves.25. What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Defend.B．Explain.C．Conclude.D．Repeat.26. What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author?A．Sense of logic.B．Solid supporting evidence.C．Proper manners.D．Understanding from both sides.For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament(性格). Some toddler s are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy(同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words- not fists-to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’resleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed.27. What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’behavior?A．They are interested in acting.B．They are shy with the strangers. C．They are fond of their playmates.D．They are tired of playing games.28. What does the author suggest parents do for their kids?A．Design games for them.B．Find them suitable playmates. C．Play together with them.D．Help them understand social rules. 29. What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4?A．Giving examples.B．Explaining concepts.C．Providing evidence.D．Making comparisons.30. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．How Children Adapt to Changes B．How to Be a Role Model for Children C．How Your Baby Learns to Love D．How to Communicate with Your KidCommon Mistakes New Runners MakeRunning is a great way to get in shape and just about everyone can do it. However, many make a number of common mistakes, which can interfere (妨碍) with training or lead to injury. 31 , keep these things in mind to help you increase your chances of running success.·Doing too much too soonOne of the biggest mistakes new runners make is doing too much too soon. Slowly easing into a training program will help reduce the risk of injury, so you can continue on with your new running routine 32 .· 33Beginners might think they need to run every day (or nearly every day) to meet their fitness or weight-loss goals, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Running is a high-impact activity which can be really hard on your body. So it’s important to give your body a rest between workouts.·Not wearing the right equipment34 , it’s important that you wear properly for your workouts. The most important piece of equipment for running is a good pair of running shoes, so be sure to do some research before you purchase a pair. Visit a running specialty store and ask an employee to fit you for a shoe.•Running through pain35 If something hurts when you run, you need to stop and treat the pain. Remember: It doesn’t make you less of a runner if you listen to your body to keep it healthy.A．Not taking rest daysB．If you’re just starting outC．Comparing yourself to othersD．Running can be uncomfortable at timesE．It’s important not to use the same musclesF．While it may be true that you don’t need expensive equipment to take up running G．Experts suggest increasing your running distance by no more than 10% each week三、完形填空Last year, I started the journey of being a remote product designer.
