2023届安徽省黄山市高中毕业班第三次质量检测（三模）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Cool independent bookstoresRJ Julia BooksellersLocated in the shoreline town of Madison, Connecticut, RJ Julia Booksellers is known for its fantastic selection of books. It’s also notable for hosting incredible book launches and celebrity signings, and the shop lines its walls with photos of visiting authors and their autographs (亲笔签名). With a second floor devoted entirely to children’s books, this inviting bookstore is a great place for families.AlbertineReflecting the French government’s mission to further the intellectual exchange between France and America, Albertine is the only bookshop in New York City centered entirely around books in French and English. Albertine features more than 14,000 contemporary and classic books from dozens of French-speaking countries.Laguna Beach BooksLocated in the Old Pottery Place in Laguna Beach, California, Laguna Beach Books has been serving locals and visitors to the area since 2006. It’s a general-interest bookshop with a collection of fiction, nonfiction, science, and children’s books.Laguna Beach Books is known for its knowledgeable staff members who are enthusiastic about conversing with customers about books. They’re also active supporters of book clubs, whether you’re looking to start your own or want personalized recommendations for your club’s next reads.Argosy Book StoreFounded in 1925, Argosy Book Store is an antiquarian bookshop in New York City. All six floors are filled with old, rare and out-of-print books. It specializes in first editions, art history, American history and the history of medicine and science. Collectors can also find books that are autographed by a wide variety of famous figures.1．Where is the bookstore that features French books?A．In Madison.B．In Laguna Beach.C．In New York City.D．In the Old Pottery Place.2．What is Laguna Beach Books famous for?A．Its long history.B．Its learned employees.C．Its incredible book launches.D．Its huge numbers of celebrity signings. 3．Which bookstore may appeal to a rare book collector?A．Albertine.B．Argosy Book Store.C．Laguna Beach Books.D．RJ Julia Booksellers.A map on social media shows “languages where the word for ‘mother/mom’ takes anm-sound”. Scores of countries are shaded red.The word mama does not sound like a mother, but it does show one feature of language: the fact that some sounds are more widespread than others around the world. A few consonants (辅音), such as b, m, p, t, d and k, show up far more frequently, in nearly every spoken language in the world. That is almost certainly because they are easy to make.A baby vocalising (发声) will, at first, make a sound like “ah”, which requires little in the way of control over the mouth. If they briefly close their mouth and continue vocalising, air will come out of their nose, thus making the m-sound that is used in “mother” around the world.Though the “mamas” bear the most obvious similarity, the “papas” have striking commonalities (共性), too. Babies can easily stop their breath when they close their lips. This produces a b-or a p-sound. It is surely for this reason that so many names for “father” use these consonants: papa in English, abb in Arabic and baba in Chinese. T- and d-sounds are similarly basic, involving a simple press of the tongue against the teeth: hence daddy, tatay (Tagalog) or tayta (Quechua).Father and mother are, therefore, an oddity. F-is not especially easy to make; th-sounds are even harder. English, Greek and Spanish are unusual in having them, and French-, German- and Italian-speakers struggle very much with them, often using related consonants instead. Children may struggle with th-sounds when they are five, or older still in many cases.This helps solve the mystery of why, despite parents being formally known as “mother” and “father”, so few children call them that. Few parents will insist on children using the proper term to refer to them, especially if it means waiting until a child is seven and can pronounce it.4．What do words for “mother” in many languages have in common?A．They include the “ah” sound.B．They are the first words of babies. C．They have the easy-to-make m-sound.D．They require a wide-open mouth to say. 5．Which body parts do babies need to employ to say the Quechua word for “father”? A．Their nose and teeth.B．Their mouth and nose.C．Their tongue and teeth.D．Their lips and tongue.6．For whom are th-sounds most difficult to pronounce?A．The Greeks.B．The English.C．The Spanish.D．The French. 7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．The universal mama B．The most widespread soundsC．The languages of the world D．The vocalisation of consonantsStanding outside my hospital the other day, I was struck by a sight. In fact, it’s a sight we’ve all seen countless times: obese (肥胖的) nurses standing around outside a hospital. It is estimated that one in four nurses is obese, with nearly two-thirds being overweight.While some have argued that obese nurses may be less productive and take more timeoff sick, this isn’t my concern at all. I’m just worried about the example they set to others. Yes, of course, nurses and doctors struggle with having a healthy lifestyle like everyone else. But if they can’t stick to the basic principles of maintaining a healthy lifestyle that they are promoting themselves, then in my opinion they have no business being on the front line. No patient is going to take them seriously unless they can demonstrate that they at least try to practise what they promote.It’s a serious professional failing, because it sends the disastrous message of “do as I say not as I do”, which is never going to result in someone changing their ways. You wouldn’t take advice about reducing your drinking from an alcoholic, would you? So why should you be expected to listen to an overweight healthcare professional who is telling you to lose a few pounds?Of course, there are lots of instances when a doctor or nurse’s personal struggles can really help. For example, I used to smoke and I find this actually helps me because I can relate to patients — I know their struggles, I know their concerns and I know the things they say to themselves to avoid quitting. Knowing that I used to smoke helps me come across as more human to my patients — I’ve done silly things but I’ve changed and so can they.Similarly, a nurse who was previously obese but has now lost weight could be a real motivation for patients. But until they have lost weight and can demonstrate that they practise what they promote, they risk alienating (使疏远) the very patients they are charged with helping.8．What worries the author concerning obese nurses?A．They will have difficulty getting along with patients.B．They will be unlikely to take patients seriously.C．They will fail to play their role in health promotion.D．They will be incompetent at their job on the front line.9．What is the author’s attitude to “do as I say not as I do”?A．Tolerant.B．Contradictory.C．Uncaring.D．Disapproving. 10．In what way is the author’s experience of quitting smoking helpful?A．He understands smokers better.B．He manages to maintain a healthier lifestyle.C．He has become brave in the face of struggles.D．He sets a good example to his workmates.11．What can we infer about the author?A．He is an alcoholic.B．He is a doctor.C．He is overweight.D．He is impatient.This month, the Internet was flooded with surprisingly elegant digital art portraits (肖像), thanks to the work of the latest artificial intelligence-assisted application to become popular. Users uploaded their photographs to the app and then—for a small fee—it used AI to transform their profile pictures into a magical soldier princess version, in no time at all.Anyone can now produce professional-looking images made to their desires, without having any training in art or design themselves. If that sounds great to you , you might not be one of the millions of humans whose livelihoods depend on being able to exchange those skills for money.Those working in the more cognitive (认知的) creative industries have long felt that they had nothing to fear from automation. After all, how could a computer ever recreate the aura (气质) of a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci, or possess the unique skill set required to think up a convincing visual marketing campaign for a luxury brand?Early images generated with these tools were full of glitches that marked them out as machine-made. But as the results have become more convincing, creatives have grown more concerned. On the front line of this debate are temporary workers such as graphic artists and commercial illustrators.For those watching closely, the visual outputs of these widely available AI tools are already getting repetitive, and even the untrained eyes will learn soon to recognize the hand of the machine. Some of the most interesting and conceptually rich works being made with AI are still coming from artists such as Mario Klingemann and Anna Ridler, who are making their own training data sets, and organizing the machine outputs in imaginative ways.The kind of artificial intelligence we might imagine replacing artists - an entirely autonomous creative robot capable of human-like imagination and expression - does not yet exist, but it is coming. And as AI becomes more common , artists, illustrators and designers will ultimately be set apart not by it, but by how, they use the technology.12．Why does the author mention the latest app in Paragraph 1?A．To explain what it is.B．To stress its importance.C．To encourage people to use it.D．To introduce the topic of the passage. 13．What do the creatives think of the development of AI tools?A．They think little of the ability of AI tools.B．They don’t fear the competition from AI tools at all.C．They feel pleased about the appearance of such AI tools.D．They are worried that AI tools will threaten their living.14．What does the underlined word “glitches” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Smooth lines.B．Small errors.C．Distinct highlights.D．Special watermarks.15．Which statement will the author probably agree with?A．The robots that can be creative like humans will surely appear.B．It’s too early to tell if the robots will be creative like humans.C．Technology will get rid of the creative jobs.D．Artists will create excellent works only with the help of AI tools.二、七选五Mercury (水银) is a liquid metal that has been used in thermometers (体温计) for many years.____16____ If you broke a thermometer, clean it up immediately to avoid getting sick.Pick up any pieces of glass and set them on a paper towel. ____17____ Carefully pick up the broken glass pieces of the thermometer and put them on the paper towel. Collect the largest pieces of the thermometer first before picking up smaller ones. Remember to put on rubber cleaning gloves and a facemask.Gather the mercury into small balls using a piece of cardboard. Hold the cardboard at a 45-degree angle to your floor and slowly sweep the mercury together. ____18____ Look at your floor from a low angle with a flashlight to find any other droplets you missed. Pay special attention to cracks in your floor since mercury may get caught in them.____19____ Squeeze the bulb on the end of the eyedropper (滴管) before setting the tip in the mercury. Let go of the bulb so the mercury gets pulled inside the eyedropper. Slowly squeeze the mercury onto a damp piece of paper towel so it’s off your floor.Seal all the material you used in a garbage bag and store it outside. Label the bag “Contains Mercury”. ____20____ Store the garbage bag in a secure area outside, such as a shelf in your garage, until you can get rid of it.A．But it is poisonous if swallowed or taken in.B．Therefore, you won’t mistake it for regular garbage.C．Check online to find safe sites near you.D．Set a dry paper towel close to the spill so you can easily reach it.E．Newer models of thermometers contain another liquid substance.F．Collect the mercury with an eyedropper and put it onto damp paper towels.G．As you sweep the small balls, they’ll combine to form larger balls that you can easily clean.三、完形填空With the decline of the new coronavirus(冠状病毒), the widespread virus currently seems to have become an evil of the past. However, plenty of couples were forced to change wedding plans in the past three years because of the virus. That’s not something that Tylerreception.The couple was initially ____23____ to have 150 ____24____ at their wedding.

She was often told that she was “too quiet” or “too shy”, and as she grew older, she became increasingly self-conscious about her inability to articulate herself. It wasn’t that she didn’t have anything to say—far from it. Mary’s mind was constantly racing with ideas and observations, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t seem to get the words out.“Mary, I need to talk to you,” Mr. Thompson, the boss of Mary’s new company, said one day, his voice serious. Mary’s heart sank. “Don’t worry,” Mr. Thompson said, noticing Mary’s panic. “It’s not that kind of conversation. I just wanted to talk to you about something that’s been on my mind lately.”He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts. “I’ve noticed that you’ve been struggling a bit lately. It seems like you’re having a tough time communicating with customers. I hear that you’re proficient at writing. So why not join our Advertising Department? Besides, I have another suggestion…”Mary kept nodding, unable to find the words to express her gratitude.Following Mr. Thompson’s suggestion, Mary joined a writing competition. She had always been a talented writer, and she knew that she had the potential to create something truly special. So she set to work, pouring her heart and soul into her essay. The words started flowing, and Mary found herself writing with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose.The judges of the competition were amazed by Mary’s essay, and they selected it as the winner. Mary was thrilled, and she was grateful to have finally found the right way to do a good job.4．What does the underlined word “articulate” mean in Paragraph 1?A．Teach.B．Express.C．Behave.D．Encourage. 5．Why did Mr. Thompson have a talk with Mary?A．To point out her mistakes.B．To advise her to quit the job.C．To offer her some help.D．To comfort her struggles.6．What was Mary’s feeling when creating her essay?A．Confident.B．Determined.C．Inspired.D．Relaxed. 7．What can best describe Mary’s experience?A．Actions speak louder than words.B．All things are easy that are done willingly.C．Loses on one side and gains on the other.D．Diligence can make up for lack of intelligence.This is the digital age, and the advice to managers is clear. If you don’t know what ChatGPT is or dislike the idea of working with a robot, enjoy your retirement. So, as for the present you should get for your manager this festive season, a good choice may be anything made of paper. Undoubtedly, it can serve as a useful reminder of where the digital world’s limitations lie. Several recent studies highlighted the enduring value of this ancient technology in several different aspects.A study by Vicky Morwitz of Columbia Business School, Yanliu Huang of Drexel University and Zhen Yang of California State University, Fullerton, finds that paper calendars produce different behaviours from digital calendars. Users of old-fashioned calendars made more detailed project plans than those looking at an App, and they were more likely to stick to those plans. Simple dimensions seem to count. The ability to see lots of days at once on apaper calendar matters.Here is another study from Maferima Touré-Tillery of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and Lili Wang of Zhejiang University. In one part of their study, the researchers asked strangers to take a survey. Half the respondents were given a pen and paper to fill out a form; the other half were handed an iPad. When asked for their email address to receive information, those who used paper were much likelier to decide on a positive answer. The researchers believe that people make better decisions on paper because it feels more consequential than a digital screen. Paper-and-pen respondents were more likely than iPad users to think their choices indicated their characters better.Researchers had other findings. They found shoppers were willing to pay more for reading materials in printed form than those they could only download online. Even the sight of someone handling something can help online sales. Similarly, people browsing(浏览) in a virtual-reality(虚拟现实) shop was more willing to buy a T-shirt if they saw their own virtual hand touch it.8．How does the author lead in the topic?A．By telling a story.B．By giving examples.C．By raising questions.D．By describing a situation.9．Why can paper calendars make users stick to plans better?A．They are a better reminder.B．They can show more detailed plans.C．They provide chances for people to practice writing.D．They provide a better view of many days’ plans at a time.10．Which of the following did paper influence based on Paragraph 3?A．Decision.B．Sympathy.C．Efficiency.D．Responsibility. 11．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Paper posters will greatly promote sales online.B．E-magazines are thought less valuable than paper ones.C．Seeing others buy will increase one’s purchasing desire.D．People prefer items made of paper instead of other materials.This month, the Internet was flooded with wonderful digital art portraits, thanks to the work of the latest artificial intelligence-assisted application to go viral: Lensa. Users uploadedtheir photographs to the App and then—for a small fee—it used AI to transform their profile pictures into, say, a magical warrior princess version of themselves, in no time at all.This year has seen a breakthrough for AI-driven image generators, which are now better than ever in quality, speed and affordability. If that sounds great to you, you might not be one of the millions of humans whose livelihoods depend on being able to exchange those skillsfor money.Some artists predicted that a computer would recreate the aura of a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci in the near future. As long as there are enough data for the AI to train itself, it can copy numerous masterpieces just in several minutes. It seems unavoidable that a large number of artists would lose their jobs.“I see it less as a threat and more of an opportunity,” the UK-based illustrator Michelle Thompson said, adding, “Like everything else, there will always be artists who can use the tools better.”These tools are only as good as the data sets they are trained on. Human imagination, on the other hand, has no limit. For Dryhurst, an artist from Germany, AI models “could attempt to make a pale version of something we did years ago”, but that “doesn’t account for what we might do next”.The kind of artificial intelligence we might imagine replacing artists—an entirely autonomous creative robot—does not yet exist, but it is coming. And as AI becomes more universal, artists, illustrators and designers will ultimately be set apart not by if, but by how, they use the technology.12．Why does the author mention Lensa in Paragraph 1?A．To recommend the new App.B．To inform latest news.C．To lead in the AI topic.D．To introduce its new function. 13．What is Michelle Thompson’s attitude towards AI?A．Concerned.B．Favorable.C．Unclear.D．Critical. 14．What might be a weakness of AI in creating art works?A．Accuracy.B．Diversity.C．Creativity.D．Efficiency. 15．Which can be the best title for the text?A．Is AI coming into our daily life?B．Can AI copy masterpieces of great artists?C．Shall we welcome new AI technology?D．Will AI replace artists in the future?二、七选五What is forest bathing? This Japanese practice, known in Japan as shinrin yoku, is a process of relaxation. The simple method of being calm and quiet in the woods, observing nature around you while breathing deeply can help both adults and children relieve stress and boost health and well being in a natural way. ___16___Find a spot. Depending where you are, find a good source of nature. One doesn’t need to journey deep into a forest for these benefits. Just look for any green area. ___17___ Forests with conifers (针叶树) are thought to be particularly beneficial. For people who don’t have access to a forest, using essential tree oils in your home can provide benefits, too.Engage all your senses. Let nature enter through your ears, eyes, nose, mouth, hands, and feet. ___18___ Drink in the flavor of the forest and release your sense of joy and calm.Don’t hurry. Slow walking is recommended for beginners. And it’s good to spend as much time as possible.

On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn’t what I expected. It didn’t look like a school at all! The sch ool had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and the other for Grades 4, 5 and 6. There was a third one for me.The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level. To my surprise, though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.I was busy preparing lessons, reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hard－working children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and we are now good friends.I have worked i n Longzhou for a year now. I’m happy, and the experience has been very useful for me. I love the small village and the children. In fact, I would like to continue working here.4. The writer is a volunteer teacher who comes from ________.A．Guangxi B．Xiamen C．Shanghai D．Beijing5. In the passage, “my heart sank” means that the writer ________.A．felt upset B．was happy C．got angry D．was excited6.

Most families don’t realize the importance of eco-friendly living — especially children. So how can you help children start seeing green? Well, here are a few suggestions.Don’t buy toys — borrow instead. If kids are concerned, most toys start to lose their shine (光彩). Don’t let the unloved toys gather dust around the house — instead, join a local toy library, give them to the library. And if you do buy new toys, try to buy toys made from wood and other eco-friendly materials.Spend time outside. Make sure your child spends time learning to be outside. Let him/her get involved in nature by planting a tree, building a birdhouse, or taking a bike ride in a nearby park. Teach green. Even if your child doesn’t receive an environmental education in the classroom, there’s no reason that you can’t spread the word at home. Let your kid help ou t with separating your recyclables.Stick with eco-friendly entertainment. Most kids may not seem like interested in the subject on the environment, but put it in a TV show and they’ll change their minds. Give them a taste of the online cartoon show，and yo u’ll finally find the children learn it happily .8. The phrase “help children start seeing green” can be replaced by “________”.A．help children see the green colorB．tell children they should like greenC．help children understand the importance of eco-friendly livingD．teach children how to recycle rubbish9.

Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register (登记) the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an ID number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. Emails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated (及时了解) about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend (趋势) among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than 135 countries.12. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A．To explain what they are. B．To introduce BookCrossing .C．To stress the importance of reading. D．To encourage readers to share their ideas.13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．The book. B．An adventure. C．A public place. D．The ID number.14. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A．Meet other readers to discuss it. B．Keep it safe in his bookcase.C．Pass it on to another reader. D．Mail it back to its owner.15. What is the text mainly about?A．A new reading habit B．A social activity of exchanging booksC．A new trend of online reading D．A website that connects people throughbooksIn today’s world English has become a global language. Speaking or writing in English is a matter of global interest these days, for it is now a requirement for being able to communicate with the outer world. 16 .Enthusiasm（热情）The first thing you need to have is an enthusiasm to reach your goal. The most important thing you have to have is emotional devotion（情感，承诺）with your desire to learn English quickly. 17 .18You pass by a lot of things in English that you meet with in your day-to-day life. Things could include magazines, emails, posts on social media, websites, a piece of literary work（文学作品）or a newspaper. Read them because you never know what is waiting for you in there. You might find that a lot of things are already known to you but the content will surely be full of new vocabulary allowing you to improve faster.Keep a note of the new words19 . It’s a bit more important that you keep a handy notebook with you and whenever you learn a new word or expression, write down the context along with the word. Use the word in a sentence and note the meaning, too. Sometimes you may find forgetting a certain word or phrase seems impossible. 20 . So, to prevent this you need to keep visiting your pages and go through the notes you have made time and time again.It does not always come easy to discover oneself. From a young age, I had a strong sense of whom I was to become, but an accident _________ it different.Skating was all I wanted. There was _________ else in this world that filled my heart with such joy.I spent twenty-four hours a week practicing my _________, with no social life or other interests but skating.

remote town and the rest of the world.At5,373meters above sea level,Pumachangthang in Nakarze county of the Tibet autonomous region is China’s highest township.The oxygen level is less than40percent,the annual average temperature-7°C and the average life expectancy only49.5years.The area of the township is about1,500square kilometers.The distance from the county town is some70km and a single trip to all the six villages can be as long as160km.In2005,Tsering Chopa became the first mailman of his hometown.In nearly two decades since his first mission, he has delivered over a million newspapers,more than20,000letters and10,000-plus parcels in Pumachangthang,and has never been accused of failing or mixing up mail.One night,a local resident Nyima Tsering’s daughter had fainted and desperately needed help.Knowing that,the mailman arranged for a car right away and sent her to the county hospital.He also gave some cash to the family for the girl’s treatment.Nyima Tsering’s daughter recovered soon,and Tsering Chopa became an idol in the village.The busiest time for Tsering Chopa is between July and August each year,when students are waiting for their admission letters from various universities.He recalls once he had to deliver mail to one student whose family had already moved away.He had to ask neighbors several times to find the new address.It was summer and the usual road to the village was blocked because of rain.He trekked for more than20km and struggled with shortness of breath all the way to finally deliver the letter.In2019,Tsering Chopa received the China Youth May Fourth Medal.“It is an acknowledgment of what I do and a token of encouragement as well,”he says.“And I want to help more people living in remote areas.I want to bring the

CRISPR genome（基因组）editing on a few common crops,a team of plant and soil scientists seeks to greatly increase and speed up carbon storage to help fight climate change.To prevent dangerous levels of global warming,scientists say it won’t be enough to just stop burning fossil fuels that release carbon into the air.Because it’s nearly impossible for humanity to do that as fast as is now required,we will also need to pull carbon out of the air and secure it.Plants are among the best tools we have to do this,since these living solar collectors already capture billions of tons of carbon dioxide each year from the atmosphere through photosynthesis（光合作用）.About half of that carbon winds up in roots and eventually the soil,where it can stay for hundreds to thousands of years.But what if we could create plants and soils that are better at capturing carbon?With CRISPR genome editing—a new molecular（分子的）biology tool that allows scientists to make edits to the DNA code that underpins all life—that might be possible.Last month,the Innovative Genomics Institute（IGI）,a research team founded by CRISPR pioneer Jennifer Doudna,began to explore the idea.With an$11-million donation from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative,a team of researchers made a three-year effort using CRISPR to create new crop varieties that photosynthesi ze more efficiently and transport more carbon into the soil.Eventually,the researchers hope to create gene-edited rice and sorghum seeds that could—if planted around the globe---pull more than a billion extra tons of carbon out of the air annually.It’s an ambitious goal,and the team is likely to face numerous challenges in the lab before its CO2-cleaning plants can be put in the ground.Additional social,policy,and ethical considerations will determine whether those crops are widely accepted by farmers.But the researchers believe their ambitious project is beneficial to cope with climate crisis.8．What is the purpose of using CRISPR genome editing on crops?A．To improve soil structure.B．To increase carbon storage.C．To create new crop varieties.D．To help fight climate change.9．What does the underlined word“capture”in paragraph3mean?A．Mix.B．Release.C．Absorb.D．Grab. 10．What can be inferred from this text?A．CO2-cleaning plants can be put in the ground now.B．It is still unknown whether gene-edited crops will be accepted.C．Researchers have successfully created gene-edited rice and sorghum seeds.D．CRISPR genome editing will face so many challenges that it has no future.11．What is the researchers’attitude to the gene-edited crops?A．Hopeful.B．Doubtful.C．Indifferent.D．Negative.DForgetting names,faces,or events is a universal human experience;even those who see their minds sharp struggle with memory loss from time to time.Most consider these mental mistakes to be annoyed,and they’re seen as a potentially worrisome sign of cognitive（认知的）decline.But neurologist Scott Small,who studies and treats Alzheimer’s disease（老年痴呆）at Columbia University,thinks this view of forgetting is all wrong.In fact,some amount of forgetfulness is critical for our minds and relationships to function at their best.We’re developing drugs to protect against memory loss.But many psychologists have joked that what they want is a forgetfulness drug.Too much memory poses a challenge in any long-term relationship.Anger,hatred—they all come from not being able to let go of emotional memories.People who repeatedly think of anger or fear suffer,often in loneliness.Living in a noisy,ever-changing world,forgetting details is actually a perfect adaptation.Creativity isn’t making something out of nothing.It’s making connections between already-known elements—ideas,words,visuals,or expressions—to create something new.But to make new connections,the existing connections in your mind have to be loose.If the connections between those elements are too tightly bound in our memory,there’s no room for creativity.What can we do to help our brains forget what we need to forget?One of the best ways to make sure that you don’t have a brain that’s burning too.hot with bad memories is to stay socially engaged.Another thing to do is to sleep,and sleep well.Many experts have concluded that we sleep in order to forget,so it makes sense that sleep has been shown to improve creativity.If you’re short of sleep,your brain is on fire with too many memories.The brain is like a lawn of grass—you need to keep it trimmed（修剪）to make way for new memories,new connections,and new growth.12．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．The damage of cognitive decline.B．The importance of forgetting things.C．The reasons of getting mental disease.D．The methods of preventing memory loss. 13．Why is the forgetfulness drug needed?A．Because various pressure makes us sleepless.B．Because some patients forget important things.C．Because too much memory disturbs and bothers us.D．Because many seniors suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.14．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A．Too much memory blocks our creativity.B．Our brain can adapt to ever-changing world. C．Sleeping well contributes to improved attention.D．Bad memory has terrible impact on our social life. 15．Where is the text probably from?A．A book review.B．An advertisement.C．A science fiction.D．A news report.第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

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。

ARecently, many people have begun to try a new way of doing shopping through the Internet. They are very interested in it. Why is it becoming more and more popular now? There are some reasons. First,more and more people have their own computers and their computers can be joined with the Internet. So it is possible for many of them to do shopping through the Internet. Second, shopping through the Internet can save them some money and a lot of time. Third, they don’t need to go to the shop themselves. Because of these good facts, few people refuse it.On the other hand, some people don’t like this new way of shopping. They are worried about the safety of shopping online.

Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.ReduceReduce means“use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.ReuseReuse means“use again”. Use things for as long as pos sible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.RecycleRecycle means“change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what c an be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.56. What is the passage about?A.

The passage may come from.A. a menuB. a dictionaryC. a storybookD. a magazineDRachel Carson(1907-1964)was a pioneer of the world’s environmental movement through her writing about the protection of the natural world. Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有害的)chemicals on farmland.Carson’s career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. In 1951 she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a gifted writer. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.Carson’s book Silent Spring completely changed the way America thought about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的)future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban(禁止)on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药)that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America’s Environmental Protection Agency.Since her death, Carson’s nam e has continued to be connected with protecting the environment.
