In the spring of 2020, like the rest of the world, I spent a lot of time staring at a screen and that was when I first got into the world. I discovered that onscreen offerings were truly endless. From one r I learned how to plant my own vegetable garden. Someone else shared poetry from Robert Frost, wise sayings from Confucius, and a smattering (一知半解) of other philosophical viewpoints, all of which helped me through some dark days. Down the rabbit hole I went, scrolling for hours and hours, watching other people living their lives and giving me advice on how to live mine.As the months rolled by, turned my attention away from the hard reality of what was going on in the world. I subscribed to several channels and waited anxiously for new weekly offerings. I watched people reading poetry or painting by streams or looking out windows into snowy landscapes.I found all this calming. Such lovely scenery, such beautiful background music, and such pretty clothes they were wearing!At some point though, I got upset by these artistic and seemingly perfect lives. Who is filming them? I wondered. Do they rehearse or just act on the spot? Isn’t it cold, stepping through snow banks in dresses? The questions kept bothering me while forcing comparisons to my own somewhat more ordinary existence. I wanted to walk in a flowing dress through hilly green field filled with wildflowers! Instead, I was marching through my neighborhood’s city streets in mom jeans.In a moment of insight, I realized that I had a full and happy life, which although it wouldn’t win awards for perfection onscreen, suited me perfectly. I put my phone away and started paying attention to my own life instead of watching other people live theirs. I still like checking in once in a while. can be a rich source of entertainment and inspiration, but I’ve limited my exposure.

CPhotosynthesis (光合作用) is a unique skill of green plants-they turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and food via sunlight. A group of Chinese scientists, however, "copied" the process on animals.To understand the new breakthrough, it is important to know how photosynthesis works. Plants take in carbon dioxide and water from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose (葡萄糖) .The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air and stores energy within the glucose molecules. In the study, the researchers from Zhejiang University developed an independent and controllable photosynthetic system, according to the study published in Nature in early December, 2022.They separated thylakoids(类囊体), a part of the cell where light reactions take place in plants, from young spinach (菠菜) leaves. The scientists then wrapped the thylakoids with the cover of animal cells, which made the implanted thylakoids more acceptable to foreign bodies. The mice used in the study were suffering from arthritis (关节炎) meaning cells in their cartilage had degenerated and could not be repaired by themselves. With the thylakoids implanted into the mice and exposed to light, the mice recovered. Their metabolism (新陈代谢) returned to normal.In arthritis, the patients usually have energy loss since fewer energy-carrying molecules are generated. The implant, however, can correct the imbalance by storing more energy via photosynthesis.The researchers also claimed that their tests would have medical usage. It can be used as part of solution for degenerative diseases because the natural photosynthesis system my repair cells. It may also delay the aging process in cells.The study showed an exciting achievement that opens up possibilities of metabolism engineering" commented one of the paper's reviewers Francisco Cejudo from the University of Seville in in, reported Xinhua.8. What is mainly mentioned in paragraph 2?A. The theory behind the experiment.B. The background of the experiment.C. The procedures of the experiment.D. The effects of the experiment.9. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. A group of Chinese scientists copied the photosynthesis of animals on plants.B. The place in which the plant stores energy is thylakoids.C. The thylakoids wrapped by animal cells make itself accepted with ease by foreign bodies.D. This therapy has been used as part of the solution for degenerative diseases.10. What is the attitude of a commentator towards the existing studies about the study?A. Cautious.B. Approving.C. Doubtful.D. Uncertain.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. Effective Photosynthesis.B. Breakthroughs made by a group of Chinese scientists.C. Chinese scientists who copied Photosynthesis on animals.D. Chinese scientists copied Photosynthesis on animals.DGiven how valuable intelligence and automation are, we will continue to improve our technology if we are at all able to. At a certain point, we will build machines that are smarter than we are. Once we have machines that are smarter than we are, they will begin to improve themselves. The concern is really that we will build machines that are much more competent than we are. And the slightestdivergence between their goals and our own could destroy us.Just think about how we relate to ants. We don’t hate them. We don’t go out of our way to harm them. In fact, sometimes we take pains not to harm them. We step over them on the sidewalk. But whenever their presence seriously conflicts with one of our goals, we will kill them without hesitation. The concern is that we will one day build machines that, whether they’re conscious or not, could treat us with similar disregard.The bare fact is that we will continue to improve our intelligent machines. We have problems that we desperately need to solve. So we will do this, if we can. The train is already out of the station, and there’s no brake to pull. If we build machines that are more intelligent than we are, they will very likely develop in ways that we can’t imagine, and transcend us in ways that we can’t imagine.So imagine we hit upon a design of super intelligent AI that has no safety concerns. This machine would be the perfect labor-saving device. It can design the machine that can build then machine which can do any physical work, powered by sunlight, more or less for the cost of raw materials. So we’re talking about the end of human labor. We’re also talking about the end of most intellectual work. So what would apes like ourselves do in this circumstance?But the moment we admit that information processing is the source of intelligence, we have to admit that we are in the process of building some sort of god. Now would be a good time to make sure it’s a god we can live with.12. Why does the author mention ants in Paragraph 2?A. To compare intelligent machines to ants.B. To show improved machines will get away from us.C. To stress the presence of machines does conflict with our goals.D. To explain future intelligent machines could treat us without mercy13. What does the underlined word “transcend” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. DisableB. InspireC. DisappointD. Outpace14. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By making comparisons.B. By giving assumptions.C. By showing valid evidence.D. By analyzing statistics.15. Which of the following statements can best summarize the author’s viewpoint towards AI?A. Human beings will no doubt be destroyed by AI in the future.B. Super intelligent AI will put an end to human labor eventually.C. We should keep the development of AI within human’s control.D. Human beings should stop the development of super intelligent AI.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可以填入空白的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

2025届山东省 高三9月模拟预测英语试题

2025届山东省Eternal7社区高三9月模拟预测英语试题一、阅读理解Hypixel, launched in 2013, is the largest currently active Minecraft server, with an average of 40,000 players online as of 2024. Here are 3 trending minigames in Hypixel.Hypixel SkyBlock Hypixel SkyBlock is a game where players start on a Private Island with almost nothing and quickly start collecting resources, expanding their island, fighting monsters, creating farms, and much more.Throughout SkyBlock, many items have their own Collections. Each collection has its own designated item, each of which has multiple tiers. Some Collections have as little as 4 tiers and some range to 10+ tiers. Each tier has a requirement for total items collected that the player needs to obtain in order to unlock it. Rewards from Collections range from many things such as Skill XP, new recipes, Trades, the ability to use certain items, and more!BedWarsIn BedWars, players spawn (出生) in eight or four teams of up to four players. They’re equipped on spawn with a Wooden Sword when lacking a better sword. Team islands have a bed in front and a resource generator in back. The bed is the respawn source of a team and must be protected from enemy teams, while the resource generator spawns Iron and Gold to purchase items at the Item Shop.There are islands separate from team islands with Diamond and Emerald Generators. Diamonds generate at a moderate (中等) speed and can be used to purchase team upgrades or traps, while Emeralds generate at a slower speed and can be used to purchase stronger items. These generator islands are usually close to islands of other teams, which can be raided by other teams to break their bed. If a team’s bed is broken, players on that team will lose their respawn ability and be eliminated upon dying once more.SkyWarsIn SkyWars, players spawn on islands that contain chests with loot inside. Players can loot the chests to get tools, armor, projectiles, and other items. These items can be used to battle other players, who will drop their own loot when killed. There are also stronger loot chests in the middle of the map, which contain stronger tools, enchanted armor, and other more frequent items. Chests can refill twice, with the first refill making strong items stronger or more frequent, and the secondrefill placing ender pearls in every chest.1.Which one is the incorrect statement of BedWars?A.Players are required to defend their team’s bed.B.Every player in the game is unable to respawn.C.Time of this game is limited.D.Emernalds are the most value items.2.What’s the underlined word “tiers” used to describe?A.How fancy it is.B.How rare it is.C.How many it is.D.How bad it is. 3.Which game not involves Player VS Player?A.Hypixel Skyblock.B.BedWars.C.SkyWars.D.None of them.The recent arrest of three middle school boys who allegedly killed a classmate has raised concerns about teenagers who commit serious crimes. It has also started discussions about the challenges faced by left - behind children.The victim, surnamed Wang, was a grade 7 student in Handan, Hebei province. He was killed on March 10 and all suspects were taken into custody (拘留) the next day.It’s yet to be found out why or how the killing happened. However, some news reports said that the three suspects who are all under 14 bullied the victim for a long time. These reports also said they are children of migrant workers.The victim went missing in the afternoon of 10 March, his father said in a video on Douyin. The local government said the boy likely died on the same day.“My child was still alive and kicking around 15:00 on 10 March... All his money was transferred from his phone at 16:10 and his phone was turned off,” the father said.Before his death, the boy transferred 191 yuan ($17; £13) to one of his three classmates, the father told The Beijing News.Xu Hao, a lawyer at Beijing Jingsh Law Firm, said the suspects might still have to face punishment for what they did, even though they are young. He explained that the law in China said that children as young as 12 can be punished if they commit serious crimes, like hurting or killing someone. But the decision to punish them has to be approved by the Supreme People’sProcuratorate (人民检察院).Another lawyer, Zhao Li, said it’s not just about punishment, but also about getting help from the government and schools to look after children who are left behind by their parents.Zhao said these children need more care and help while they grow up, and that making better rules and services is really important to help all children, especially the left-behind ones. 4.What may the passage be taken from?A.From a newspaper.B.From a speech.C.From a blog.D.From a publisher.5.What details are known about the suspects involved in the killing of the grade 7 student?A.They were all over 18 years old.B.They were children of migrant workers.C.They were all honor students.D.They had no prior history of misconduct. 6.According to lawyer Xu Hao, what are the potential consequences the suspects may face for their actions?A.They will be cleared due to their young age.B.They may face punishment if approved by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate.C.They will be watched on by guardians.D.They are exempt from legal consequences as minors.7.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.The Impact of Migrant Worker Families on Children’s Behavior and Well-being.B.Legal Ramifications for Underage Offenders in China.C.A Teen Case Has Brought Attention to Social Issue of Left - Behind Children.D.Rise in Violent Crimes Among Middle School Students Linked to Neglectful Parenting.A century ago, Emily Post made manners popular. Her bestselling book, “Etiquette”, framed the “fundamentals (基础) of good behaviour” as fashionable; she offered practical advice as well as dramatic warnings.A century after Post’s book, people are again saying “yes please” to politeness. A host of influencers offer etiquette (礼仪) lessons online, teaching table manners and posture (身姿). #Etiquette posts on TikTok have been viewed more than 5 billion times. Sara Jane Ho, a Chinese instructor, has taken niceties to Netflix. “Mind Your Manners”, a reality show, was nominated foran Emmy award in 2023. People are looking for help at the office as well as at home. Influencers cover topics such as how to start meetings on time and advise on digital faux pas, including how to leave a group chat quietly.Old institutions are adapting to 21st-century norms. Courses at the Institut Villa Pierrefeu mix “modern conventions” with “time-honoured traditions”. Other books offer lessons in modern cordiality. Ms Ho recently published her etiquette teachings. Mr Hanson’s guide to decorum will be published in September.This flurry (热潮) of politesse comes at a time when most people think manners are in decline. Some 85% of Americans believe society is less civil (文明) than it was a decade ago, according to a recent survey; 90% of parents think youngsters aged between six and 18 are disrespectful. Most blame social media and contemporary pressure.As well as these concerns, interest in gentility has surged for two reasons. The first is covid, which stopped folk interacting face-to-face. People started worrying that their social skills were getting as much use as their formal wear. The second reason is a confusion about what is the best practice in a global, digital age. Following experts such as Ms Ho, who says her viewers “know what to do anywhere, with anyone, in any situation”, can seem like a sure-fire way to avoid embarrassment.Like all customs, what is regarded as polite is subject to change. Post knew this, and criticised people who said the young were rude because they followed less formal etiquette. An oft-cited example is the phrase “if it please you”, which was popular in Shakespeare’s day. By the time Post published “Etiquette” it had been shortened to “please”. Young people now find it perfectly acceptable to type “pls” on mobile phones.Artificial Intelligence will change politeness once more. McKinsey, a consultancy, points out that soft skills will become only more important for business leaders in an age when generative (生成式) AI can do much of the analytical heavy lifting. Good manners may become more appreciated.8.Why has there been a renewed interest in etiquette?A.Because of the book “Etiquette”.B.Because of #Etiquette posts.C.Due to “Mind Your Manners”.D.Due to concerns about lack of manners. 9.What is the underlined word “this” refers to?A.The popularity of etiquette.B.The variability of polite standards.C.The reason of the flurry of politesse.D.The pressure that young are facing.10.It can be learned from the last paragraph that .A.AI will replace the need for human workers.B.AI will redefine what is considered polite.C.The importance of soft skills will increase in the business world.D.Generative AI is more competitive than human.11.Which is the correct structure of the passage?(①=Para.1)A.①;①①①①①;①B.①;①①①①;①①C.①①①;①①①;①D.①①①;①①;①①At large events all over the world, the scenes of extreme heat stress are starting to look familiar. Older men, shirts undone, lying down with their eyes closed. Aid tents packed with the unconscious. And lines of the faithful — whether they seek religion, music, ballot boxes or sport — sweating under slivers of shade.The consequences have been scared. At this year’s hajj (朝觐), the Islamic pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, at least 1,300 people died as temperatures beyonded 37①. And in many ways, that heavy incident was just the latest sign that crowd control and heat waves fueled by climate change are on a dangerous power. During India’s recent election, dozens of workers died on the job. Last summer, troops of Boy Scouts visiting South Korea became sick from heat, as did others at music festivals in Australia, Europe and North America.Even as heat kills more people today than any other extreme weather event, there is still a dangerous cultural lag (滞后). Many major-event organizers are still failing to realize just how much a warming planet has risen the risk to summer crowds.“As the warm seasons get longer, as the heat waves come earlier, we’re going to have to adapt,” said Benjamin Zaitchik, a climate scientist at Johns Hopkins University who studies health-damaging climate events. Along with personal behavior, he added, facilities, emergency management and social calendars must “really acknowledge this new reality.”Among the many low-tech ways to prevent sickness and death are shade, water stations, sidewalks painted white to reflect heat and emergency health services to treat severe cases of heatstroke. Some hot and innovative places, like Singapore, have constructed public spacesuniting the outdoors with the indoors. They have added air-conditioning to areas where people might have to spend time waiting, such as bus stops.The hardest fix of all may be one that is also in some ways the simplest: educating ordinary people about the risks of heat, including those who are accustomed to living in hot places. Often, they are unaware of the early symptoms of heat stress or how high temperatures are especially dangerous for people with pre-existing health conditions, like kidney disease(肾病) or hypertension(高血压).“Heat is a very, very complex and sneaky killer,” said Tarik Benmarhnia, an environmental epidemiologist and associate professor at University of California, San Diego. “It’s very silent.”12.What does the author want to show in Paragraph 2?A.Large events are held more frequently than before.B.Hot weather influenced people more than expected.C.Occurence of people getting injured is more common.D.People consider their job more important than their lives.13.What is mainly talked about in the passage?A.Cultural diversity in global.B.Dangrousness of large festivals.C.A hidden killer of the health.D.Disadvantages of high temperature. 14.What seem to be most Tarik Benmarhnia’s attitude toward heat?A.Indifferent.B.Complex.C.Uncaring.D.Serious. 15.According to Benjamin Zaitchik, which measure is he most likely to agree with?A.Drawing sidewalks in white.B.Educating more people in adapting heat.C.Promoting more jobs and medical resources.D.Building more public facilities and stations.Astronaut Frank Rubiales has returned to Earth after 371 days in space. It was only supposed to be 180, but a technical fault stopped him from returning as planned. 16 .Being in space can affect both physical and mental health. 17 . Astronauts are recommended 150 minutes of exercise per day to resist this. Also, space traveller’s eyes can be affected by the way that fluids act in zero-gravity. Outside the protection of the Earth’s atmosphere, astronauts are exposed to much higher levels and different forms of solar radiation. This canpotentially cause long-term health problems, such as cancer.18 . Our mental health can be damaged if we don’t get enough sleep. On earth, our bodies respond through circadian rhythms to the Sun rising and setting to help us sleep, but astronauts on board the International Space Station see 16 sunsets and sunrises every day.19 . Isolation, and spending all your time with a small group of people can also affect mental health. Along with isolation, is the pressure that comes from being constantly monitored by experts back on Earth. With possible future missions to Mars predicted to last three years, tensions within the crew could become heightened. There was a case of this where a colleague threatened to open the airlock and drain the oxygen from the spacecraft.Developing new techniques and technology to support astronauts’health will enable more ambitious future missions. 20 . The Canadian Space Agency is using its expertise to improve health care for people living in remote regions. The technology that supports robots used in space is now being used in surgery in normal hospitals, while pressure suits are being used to treat post-pregnancy complications.A.Unlucky for him, but very lucky for scientists who want to see what effects spending an extended time in space has on the human body.B.Due to this technical fault,Frank Rubiales has to overcome more difficulties.C.It’s not just physical health that is affected by being in space.D.Enough sleep is exceptionally important.E.It can also help those of us who are staying on EarthF.Weightlessness caused by a lack of gravity can lead to a loss of bone and muscle mass. G.This means that avoiding sleep deprivation is a challenge.二、完形填空Mr. Dalton taught us plane geometry (平面几何) 37 years ago. I was a quiet kid. I neither got in much trouble nor got 21 .

Scientists have long puzzled over which aspects are truly fundamental. Now a new study on lizards(蜥蜴)suggests that sleep states once thought to occur only in mammals and birds have much older evolutionary origins.Scientists had long doubted that birds and mammals are the only vertebrates(脊椎动物)to experience rapid eye movement(REM), a sleep state in which the body is mostly immobile but the brain is overworking.During REM sleep,the brain produces high﹣frequency waves of electrical activity and the eyes turn suddenly from time to time.In humans,REM is closely linked to dreaming.REM is a pattern of slow﹣wave sleep,a state in which brain activity weakens and the waves become more consistent.This slower state is widely thought to be important to memory formation and storage."But scientists who looked for signs of REM and slow﹣wave sleep in reptiles(爬行动物)have had ‘confusing’results,"says Gilles Laurent,a neuroscientist at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt,Germany.So he and his colleagues had planned to examine how the lizards﹣a common pet in Germany use visual information to chase treats.Using camera,the team found that the sleeping lizards’ eyes ________ during the REM﹣like stage,just like other animals.They also found a very familiar pattern within the slower phase of the lizards’brain waves.Some scientists believe these waves help transform new information into memories by replaying past events quickly.Although more studies are still needed to determine whether the function of these brain wave patterns is the same across species, the results suggest that these REM and slow﹣wave sleep patterns could date all the way back to the common ancestor of reptiles,birds,and mammals.(1)Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “twitched” in paragraph3 ?________A.opened wideB.moved quicklyC.stayed closedD.kept still.(2)How does the lizards’brain waves turn information into memories according to some scientists?________A.By increasing their frequency slowly.B.By changing their pattern occasionally.C.By playing back the past events quickly.D.By connecting visual information effectively..试卷第2页,总13页(3)What can we infer from the 1ast paragraph ?________ A.The function of the brain wave is the same . B.All the animals have the common ancestor . C.The sleep pattern of all the animals is the same . D.The study about sleep pattern has a long way to go . 2. Save the Animals Animals are natural resources (资源) that people have wasted all through our history . Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers (羽毛), for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way . Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever . Hundreds more are on the danger list today . About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger . Why should people care? Because we need animals . And because once they are gone, there will never be any more . Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting . They are more than just a source of food . Every animal has its place in the balance (平衡) of nature . Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems . For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks (鹰), the farmers’stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice . Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice . With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied (繁殖) quickly .Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals . Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem . And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger . Quite a few countries have passed laws . These laws forbid (禁止) the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list . Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing .(1)Animals are important to us mainly because________. A. they are beautiful and lovely B. they keep the balance of nature C. they give us a lot of pleasure D. they give us a source of food .(2)What has happened to the animals on the earth ?________ A. Thousands of kinds of animals are gone forever . B. A few kinds of animals have died out . C. All kinds of animals are in danger .D. About 170 kinds of animals have disappeared forever ..(3)Why do people kill animals ?________ A. They kill animals to raise some money . B. Animals destroy their natural resources . C. Animals create many problems .D. They kill animals for something they need ..(4)What can we conclude from the fact that quite a few countries have passed laws protecting animals in danger ?________A. Animals in danger will not be killed any more.B. The number of some animals in danger will increase.C. Every person will know the importance of protecting wild animals.D. Animals in danger will be kept away from people.3.People have grown taller over the last century, with South Korean women shooting up by more than 20cm on average, and Iranian men gaining 16.5cm. A global study looked at the average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries 1914 and 2014. The results show that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1914, Dutch men have risen from 12th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182.5cm. Larvian women, meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1914 to become the tallest in the world a century later, with an average height of 169.8cm. James Bentham, a co-author of the research says the global trend is likely but once you average over whole populations, genetics plays a less key role," he added.But while height has increased around the world, the trend in many countries of north and sub-Saharan Africa causes concern, says Elio Riboli of Imperial College. While height increased in Uganda and Niger during the early 20th century, the trend has reversed in recent years, with height decreasing among 18-year-olds.“One reason for these decreases in height is the economic situation in the 1980s,” said Professor Alexander. The nutritional and health problems that followed the policy of structural adjustment, he says, led to many children and teenagers failing to reach their full potential in terms of height.Bentham believes the global trend of increasing height has important implications. “How tall we are now is strongly influenced by the environment we grew up in,” he said. “If we give children the best possible start in life now, they will be healthier and more productive for decades to come.”(1)What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A.The increase in women’s height is much bigger than men’s in the last century.B.The last century has seen a great increase in people’s height in most countries.C.Genetics plays a key role in the increase of people’s height in the last century.D.Dutch and Swedes are ranked first and second in height in the world nowadays.(2)The underlined word “reversed” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by________.A.slowed downB.gone upwardsC.changed to the contrarye to life again(3)According to the text,James Bentham suggests that________.A.The economic situation of some countries should be improved.B.Environment protection should be attached great importance to.C.The global trend of increasing height should be closely watched.D.Children’s proper nutrition and healthcare should be guaranteed.4.The 10th annual International “Go Skateboarding Day” will be held on June 21, 2012.Skateboarding Day is all about fun!

That is about to change. The country’s first blockbuster (大片)set in space, The Wandering Earth, opens Tuesday with great expectations that it will represent the dawning of a new age in Chinese filmmaking. The film also opens with the Lunar New Year, the beginning of an official, weeklong holiday that is traditionally a peak box -office period in China. It has a limited show in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand,The Wandering Earth, shown in 3-D, takes place in a distant future in which the sun is about to expand into a red giant and destroy the Earth. The approaching danger forces the world’s engineers to make a plan to move the planet to a new solar system using giant thrusters(推进器). Things go very badly when the Earth has to pass the Jupiter, setting off desperate disturbance to save humanity from ruin.The film comes as China reached a milestone in space, the landing of a probe(探测器)on the far side of the moon in January. Although decades behind Russia and the United States, China has now put astronauts in orbit and has ambitious plans to join-or even lead-a new age of space exploration.“I think there is a very close connection between Chinese cinema and the nation’s fortunes, ” said Sha Dan, a leader at the China Film Archive,“When we have the ability to rescue our people abroad, we can make movies like Operation Red Sea. Only when China can enter the space age can we make works like The Wandering Earth.”The Wandering Earth takes for granted China’s central role in future space exploration, but it also has a vision of the international teamwork necessary to deal with the threats facing the planet, a theme that runs deeply through the film.(1)What does the author think of The Wandering Earth ?A. It is a hit in the oversea film markets.B. It is a success in science-fiction films.C. It is the beginning of Chinese filmmaking.D. It is only a present for the Lunar New Year.(2)What causes the Earth to wander in space?A. A new solar system.B. A new planet like the Earth.C. The expanding sun in a distant future.D. A deadly disease for people on the Earth.(3)What mainly promotes Chinese filmmaking according to the text?A. China’s increasing overall national strength.B. Chinese filmmakers’ growing budgets.C. The growing confidence of Chinese directors.D. The increasingly experienced film technology.(4)What is reflected throughout The Wandering Earth?A. The importance of heroes.B. The threats from explorations.C. The nation’s power of China.D. The international cooperation.6. Photos of the moon are beautiful if taken well, but it can be very hard to get a picture of the moon that doesn’t look ________ In order to take a perfect picture of the moon, apart from a high﹣quality camera, the associated equipment and the skills to set up your camera,you also need to pick a proper time and a good place.Choose your favorite moon phase. The moon can be photographed in any phase but the new moon, which is not visible to Earth. The first quarter, half, and third quarter phasesprovide high contrast that allows you to see the craters(坑) in greater detail, while the试卷第6页,总13页full moon is a dramatic choice for a skyscraper . What phase you choose is up to your personal preference, but it’s best to have a phase chosen before going out to photograph the moon . Learn when the moon rises and sets . When the moon sets or rises, it is closer to the horizon, making it appear larger and closer . This makes it much easier to photograph! Check an almanac (年历) or a weather app for moon rising and setting times in your area . Pick a clear night . Clouds, fog, and air pollution will blur your photographs . Check a weather app or watch the weather forecast before leaving for your session and while photographing . A clear night with low smog content and no rain is best for moon photography .Choose a location away from direct light sources . The moon appears bright because it reflects the light of the sun, and additional light from streetlights, homes, and cars can make the moon appear duller and blurrier in pictures . It is fine if there is light in the distance, but be sure that you are not photographing close to another light source .(1)Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “blurry”?________ A. unattractive . B. apparent . C. confusing . D. unclear ..(2)Why is the new moon not a perfect choice when taking a photo of the moon ?________A. Because the new moon is not enjoyed by most people .B. Because the new moon is visibly seen from the earth .C. Because it appears at the earliest time of a month .D. Because the new moon can’t be photographed on Earth ..(3)Which of the following is not a must to take a perfect photo of the moon ?________ A. A high ﹣quality camera .B. The skills to set up the camera .C. A weather app .D. A suitable location ..(4)What’s the main idea of the passage ?________ A. How to select a camera for a perfect moon photo .B. How to pick a time and place for a perfect moon photo .C. What the necessary skills are to take a perfect moon photo .D. Why the new moon is a bad choice for a perfect moon photo .7. Research published in the journal High Temperature found that an hour ﹣long soak in hot water produced similar blood sugar responses to 60 minutes of moderate physical activity .Sound too good to be true? While the research on these effects is still initial (初步), thereis a ________ explanation for this . “It seems that activities that increase heat shock proteins (热体克蛋)may help to improve blood sugar control and offer an alternative to exercise, ” the lead study author Steve Faulkner wrote . "These activities ﹣such as soaking in a hot tub or taking a sauna (桑拿)﹣﹣may have health benefits to people who are unable to exercise regularly . to an hour ﹣ long session of cycling or an hour ﹣long session in a 40℃bath .The scientists discovered that both groups were better able to control their blood sugar levels in the 24 hours following their soak were approximately 10 percent lower than those of the participants who exercised.Researchers say this implies that “passive heating” (a means of rising your body temperature)could assist in lowering blood sugar levels.Passive heating can affect proteins in the body called heat shock proteins, which helps regulate blood sugar. People with diabetes(糖尿病)tend to have lower levels of heat shock proteins. Passive heating can raise these levels.It’s critical to point out a few limitations of the study.For starters,the experiment only monitored men,so it’s difficult to say if the same effect would happen in women.It also only included 14 volunteers,which was an extremely small sample size.More research needs to be conducted before scientists can come to any official conclusion.And,of course,you should still continue exercising regularly.That being said,the study does offer some more promising insights(见解)into the healing effects of hot water.(1)What does the underlined word “plausible” in Paragraph 2 refer to?________A. Strange.B. Ridiculous.C. Reasonable.D. Confusing..(2)What can we know about the research by the U. K.’s team?________A.Cycling made no difference to blood sugar levels.B.People with diabetes usually have higher levels of heat shock proteins.C.14 lean and 14 overweight men were involved in the research.D.A 24﹣hour tracking and monitoring was carried out after the one﹣hour activities..(3)How should scientists improve this study?________A.By extending the study period.B.By changing the research method.C.By including women in the research.D.By adding more scientists involved in the investigation..(4).Which of the following best expresses the author’s main point of view?________A.When you run a fever you get passive heating.B.Passive heating can raise levels of heat shock proteins.C.The research is of significance in spite of some imperfection.D.You need either a hot bath or regular exercise to keep healthy.8. Scientists may have found a way to reduce shortage of type O blood. Type O is the kind of blood that hospitals most often need. What the researchers are testing is an easier way to make type O blood out of other kinds of blood.There are four main kinds of blood.Most people born with one of these four:Type A,Type B, Type AB or Type O. Type O can be safely given to anyone. So it is commonly used when a person is injured or sick and has to have blood.The differences among blood types are linked to whether or not red blood cells contain certain kinds of sugar molecules(分子). These molecules are found on the surface of the cells.They are known as antigens (抗原). These antigens are found with type A, B andAB blood but not with type O.试卷第8页,总13页More than twenty ﹣five years ago, scientists found that the antigens could be removed to create what they called universal ﹣type cells . They could be removed with chemicals called enzymes (酶). But large amounts of enzymes were required to make the change . Doctor Henrik Clausen of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark led the study . The next step, he says, is to complete safety tests . The team is working with the American company ZymeQuest to test the new method . If it meets safety requirements (*k )and is not too costly, it could become a widely used life ﹣saving tool to increase the supply of universal blood .(1)How do scientists deal with the problem of lacking type O blood ?________ A. Hope more people to donate type O blood . B. Make the most of the present type O blood . C. Develop new ways of using type O blood .D. Make type O blood out of other kinds of blood ..(2)What make people have different kinds of blood ?________ A. Sugar molecules in red blood cells . B. People’s different living conditions . C. Peoples various immune systems . D. The variety of peoples cells and genes ..(3)What can we infer from the text ?________ A. Type O blood can be safely given to anyoneB. Antigens could easily be removed to create universal blood .C. A Danish company wanted to involve itself in studying blood .D. The new method is not safe enough to be put into use in hospitals now ..(4)What is the best title for the text ?________ A. Four different kinds of blood B. A new way to make type O blood C. The latest research on blood type D. Find the proper type of blood .9. Digital grounding is when parents or caregivers limit or completely take away access to technology from children . According to a study conducted by Pew Research, 65% of parents have digitally grounded their teen by taking away their teen’s cellphone or Internet access as punishment . Because children are so connected with their technologies, digital grounding may seem like a logical step for parents . Take away a child’s most cherished item and they will quickly learn from their behavior . But the idea of digital grounding isn’t as clear ﹣cut as that . Instead, it may be a lose ﹣lose situation for parents and kids, alike . For most parents, the goal of grounding isn’t to make their children unhappy or sad . It is to teach a lesson in the hope that they won’t engage in whatever behavior gets them in trouble in the first place . Unfortunately, though, digital grounding is often just punishment, not discipline . If a child stays out past curfew (宵禁时间), a punishment would be hitting or yelling at them . Discipline would be not letting them go out the next weekend because they fail to follow rules . We’ve all been there ﹣we’ve caught our child doing something wrong and in the heat ofthe moment laid out a strict punishment.We may have been feeling hotheaded, embarrassed, or dismayed. Often, though, these punishments aren’t aligned with the bad behavior.While digital grounding may solve the problem temporarily, it won’t provide children with the guidance they need to act appropriately in the future. Instead of grounding,show your child what they did wrong and give them the chance to act differently. This way, they will learn from their mistakes in a practical manner and figure out ways to be safe and smart with technology.There’s no denying it:technology is here for the long﹣haul. This is why some parenting experts don’t recommend digitally grounding your children.It doesn’t focus on the end goal of safe behavior.They recommend teaching them good habits as soon as possible , rather than taking away their technology. By digitally grounding them, you are putting a bandage over the wound,rather than treating it.Now, when we say that digital grounding is a lose﹣lose situation, we’re not saying that disciplining your children in general is a lose﹣lose situation. Discipline is a great way to teach children lessons,when used appropriately.(1)Which of the following is a form of discipline?________A.Hitting or yelling at children.ying out a strict punishment in the heat of the moment.C.Taking away access to cellphones from children completely.D.Forbidding kids to go out the next weekend if they stay out past curfew..(2)What does the author think of digital grounding?________A.It benefits children greatly.B.It is no better than disciplining.C.Parents can use it to correct kids’ behavior.D.Neither parents nor children gain benefits from it..(3)What does the author suggest parents do instead of grounding?________A. Give kids more free time.B. Act appropriately in public.C. Help kids form good habits.D. Put a bandage over the wound..(4)What’s the purpose of the text?________A.To inform us of ways of punishing kids.B.To explain what digital grounding means.C.To show how to parent children in digital times.D.To prove digital grounding is not a good parenting way.10. The mass death of flying foxes in extreme heat in North Queensland last month underlines the importance of University of Queensland wildlife research released today.The UQ research sheds light on how various species have responded to major climate events.A study led by UQ School of Earth and Environmental Science researcher Dr Sean Maxwell has spent more than 70 years quantifying the responses of various species.“The growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as试卷第10页,总13页cyclones, droughts and floods is causing unpredictable and immediate changes to ecosystems and blocking existing management efforts, ” Dr Maxwell said .“Some of the negative responses we found were quite concerning, including more than 100 cases of dramatic population declines and 31 cases of local population extinction following an extreme event .” “Populations of critically endangered bird species in Hawaii, such as the palia, have been ________ due to drought, leaving none of its kind, and populations of lizard species have been wiped out due to cyclones in the Bahamas .” Cyclones were the most common extreme event for birds, fish, plants and reptiles, while mammals and amphibians were most responsive to drought events, with drought leading to 12 cases of major population decline in mammals . Drought also led to 13 cases of breeding declines in bird populations and 12 cases of changes in the composition of invertebrate communities .UQ Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science director Professor James Watson said the detailed information would help inform ecosystem management . “The research clearly shows species will respond, often negatively, to extreme events, ” Professor Watson said . “As climate change continues to ensure extreme climate and weather events are more and more common, we now need to act to ensure species have the best chance to survive . Wherever possible, high quality and intact habitat areas should be retained, as these are the places where species are most resilient (易恢复的) to increasing exposure to extreme events .”(1)How was the UQ research conducted ?________ A. By observing extreme weather events . B. By protecting the endangered species .C. By recording reactions of animals to extreme climate .D. By analyzing the reason why mass animal death happened ..(2)What does the underlined word “annihilated” in paragraph 4 probably mean ?________ A. destroyed B. defeated C. decreased D. disappeared .(3)Which of the following sentences is true about extreme weather events ?________ A. Drought caused 13 cases of distinction in bird populations . B. Drought caused 12 cases of population drop in mammals . C. Birds and mammals are most responsive to cyclones . D. Cyclones wiped out populations of lizard ..(4)What can we infer from Professor Watson’s words ?________ A. Species will make negative responses to extreme events .B. The existing management ways for wildlife protection are limited .C. Different methods should be adopted to ensure the survival of different species .D. Complete and undamaged habitats are of great importance to species’ survival ..(5)What does the author mainly focus on in the passage ?________ A. Varieties of extreme weather events and their causes .B. The great benefit of the University of Queensland wildlife research .试卷第11页,总13页C. Species’ negative reactions to extreme climate changes .D.

2023届四川省绵阳中学高三第三次模拟检测英语试题

2023届四川省绵阳中学高三第三次模拟检测英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解In an effort to stop poaching and protect endangered species, people are using technology previously created to discover stars. Claire Burke, who led the project, says the application of the star-hunting tech has so far paid off big for conservation. “Since animals and humans in thermal imagery (热成像) ‘glow’ in the same way as stars in space, we have been able to combine the technical expertise of astronomers with the conservation knowledge of ecologists to develop a system to find the animals or poachers automatically,” she said in a statement.In addition to species identification, the software can also provide an overview of health. Burke said that diseased or injured animals give off a different thermal imagery than the healthy ones. “The real advantage this gives you is that if you know how many animals you have and where they are and what kind of health they are in, then you can work out a good conservation strategy for looking after them,” she said.The following is a post written by Burke on Twitter: More animals for the thermal imagery library. Thanks to Chester Zoo Science @ScienceatCZ for letting us observe their fantastic creatures. Images are giraffes, Indian elephants, and fruit bats.—Claire Burke(@CBurkeSci) October 27.To train the software on a wide variety of heat signatures from different species, the team of researchers spent time collecting thermal imagery of animals. Their first field trial to detect Riverine rabbits, one of the most endangered mammals in the world (with only 500 living adults left in the wild), was a complete success. “The rabbits are very small, so we flew the drone (无人机) quite low to the ground at a height of 20 meters (65 feet). Although this limited the area we could cover with the drone, we managed to see the rabbit five times,” said Burke. “Given that there have only been about 1,000 times people have seen Riverine rabbits, it was a real success.”1.What can people decide by observing the thermal imagery of the animals?A.What the animals are doing.B.When the animals need help. C.Whether the animals are healthy.D.Why the animals are in danger. 2.What did the researchers find out after detecting the Riverine rabbits?A.The number of them is decreasing.B.It is difficult for people to identify them.C.There are more of them than people thought.D.It is easier to find them using the high-tech tool.3.What is the text mainly about?A.Technology has helped a lot in helping the endangered animals.B.Researchers use stargazing tools to protect endangered species.C.What we should do to protect the endangered animals.D.Scientists are working hard to protect the environment.Feeling a bit bored? It could be just what you need to produce your best ideas, excite your creativity or simply give your brain a rest.Nowadays, in the age of round-the-clock entertainment, it’s (technically) trickier to be bored. If the show you’re watching has lost its spark, you can easily amuse yourself on social media without even leaving the sofa. But that’s not necessarily a good thing. Feeling disengaged from the task in hand, or a lack of stimulation (刺激), does have its benefits, according to researchers at the University of Central Lancashire.Being bored motivates you to search out something less boring to do. For example, if you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and take up a new hobby. This, according to researchers, can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a surge (激增) in creativity among people stuck at home frombanana-bread-making to picking up a paintbrush for the first time since childhood.But what about those times when you have no choice but to stick with the boring situation, waiting for a bus, for instance? The good news is that the boredom you’re feeling now could spark your creativity later, says a 2019 study published in the Academy of Management Discoveries journal. People who’d taken part in a bean-sorting task later performed better at coming up with creative ideas than another group who’d been given something more interesting to do first.Ultimately, don’t take it for granted that there’ll always be something close at hand to entertain us. With boredom, we will not run the risk of becoming boring ourselves. 4.What does the author imply in paragraph 2?A.Wondering mind can be healthy.B.Social media can surely entertain us.C.Being bored may be something good.D.Being involved in the task is beneficial.5.Why was the surge in creativity seen recently?A.People were stimulated by boredom.B.People were better equipped at home.C.People had more hobbies to choose from.D.People were more concerned about mental being.6.What is the purpose of the bean-sorting task in the 2019 study?A.To create a boring situation.B.To reduce people’s boredom.C.To make a funny performance.D.To show an entertainment at hand. 7.What is the best title of the passage?A.What is the point of creativity?B.Are we more easily bored nowadays?C.How can we deal with daily boredom?D.Does boredom make us more creative?For years, David James, who studies insects at Washington State University, had wanted to examine the migration (迁徙)patterns of West Coast monarch butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶). The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populations are too small to follow. For every 200 monarchs tagged (打标签)by a researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of its trip, James says, and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is unlikely. Knowing the route is vital to conservation efforts, but James had no way to figure it out- until he got a phone call from Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.The prison was looking for new activities to improve the mental health of those serving long-term sentences. So James began working with prisoners to raise monarchs through the whole process of their transformation. The adult insects were then tagged and released from the prison. Over five years, nearly 10, 000 monarchs flew from the facility. Elsewhere in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, researchers released another few thousand.The tags included email addresses, and soon after the first butterflies took off, James started receiving messages from people who had spotted them. The butterflies, the reports confirmed, wintered in coastal California. Twelve of them landed at Lighthouse Field StateBeach in Santa Cruz. Several more headed to Bolinas and Morro Bay.The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed and other vegetation that are important to the life cycle of West Coast monarch butterflies. It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners. “They were very worried that they were going to harm the butterflies, ”James says. Watching the monarch change their form also touched the men. “This butterfly changed, ” James recalls prisoners telling him, “and maybe we can too. ”8.What was hard for David to do in his study?A.Gain financial support.B.Hire qualified workers.C.Build a new laboratory.D.Find enough monarchs.9.Why are the butterflies tagged before being released?A.To guarantee their safety.B.To enable them to fly longer distances.C.To track their travel routes.D.To distinguish them from other species.10.What makes the prisoners feel that they can change?A.The patience the butterflies showed.B.The hardship the butterflies underwent.C.The transformation of the butterflies.D.The devotion of James to the butterflies.11.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The impact of the research.B.The findings of James’ study.C.The release of the prisoners.D.The life cycle of the butterflies.Search engines have changed the way we use the Internet, putting vast sources of information just a few clicks away. But Harvard professor of psychology Line Daniel Wegner’s recent research proves that websites and the Internet are changing much more than technology itself. They are changing the way our memories function. Wegner’s latest study shows that when people have access to search engines, they remember fewer facts and less information because they know they can rely on “search” as a readily available shortcut.Wegner believes the new findings show that the Internet has become part of a transactivememory source, a method by which our brains divide information. Transactive memory exists in many forms, as when a husband relies on his wife to remember a relative’s birthday. You don’t have to remember everything in the world yourself. You just have to remember who knows it. Now computers and technology are becoming virtual extensions of our memory.Wegner conducted several experiments to demonstrate the phenomenon, using various forms of memory recall to test reliance on computers. In one experiment, participants demonstrated that they were more likely to think of computer terms like “Yahoo” or “Google” after being asked a set of difficult trivia questions. In another experiment, participants typed some statements into a computer and they were told the statements would be saved in specific folders. Next, they were asked to recall the statements. Finally, they were given cues to the wording and asked to name the folders where the statements were stored. The participants proved better able to recall the folder locations than the statements themselves.Wegner admits that questions remain about whether dependence on computers will affect memories negatively: “Nobody knows now what the effects of these tools are on logical thinking.” Students who have trouble remembering distinct facts, for example, may struggle to employ those facts in critical thinking. But he believes that the situation overall is beneficial, comparing dependence on computers to dependence on a mechanical hand or other prosthetic device.And even though we may not be using our memories to recall distinct facts, we are still using them to consider where the facts are located and how to access them. “We still have to remember things,” Wegner explains. “We’re just remembering a different range of things.” He believes his study will lead to further research into understanding computer dependence, and looks forward to tracing the extent of human interdependence with the computer world — pinpointing the “movable dividing line between us and our computers in cyber networks.”12.Which of the following statements can be the best idea of the passage?A.Relying on technology has weakened our critical thinking.B.People heavily depend on computer for storing information.C.Human’s capacity for memory is much weaker than it was before.D.Computers and technology are reshaping the functions of our brain.13.The example of remembering a relative’s birthday (in the 2nd paragraph) is used to________.A.show that people who are closely related tend to have shared memoriesB.demonstrate how people initially developed external sources of memoryC.illustrate the concept of a transactive memory source using a familiar situation D.emphasize the effectiveness and accuracy of transactive memory sources14.From the experiment we know that when asked to provide facts that are not familiar to them, people tend to ________.A.think of specific information sources B.type into computer and remember them C.recall them from their deep memories D.link the unfamiliar facts to their experiences15.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.The more we rely on computer, the weaker our memory becomes.B.Reliance on computers does not necessarily reduce human memory.C.Computers have helped people to understand the memory system better. D.Researches should be done to reveal the side effect of computer dependence.二、七选五Steps to Take to Become a Morning PersonSeek out as much natural light as possible.The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light, says Jennifer Martin, president of the board of directors for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. That’s because light suppresses melatonin, a hormone that plays an important role in circadian rhythm. ____16____Ease in gradually.____17____ You could force yourself to get up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired during the transition but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks. But for some people — like those who need to drive long distances — those first few days of exhaustion from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe. In that case, Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. “What I’ll suggest to people is to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour,” she says.____18____A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same wake up time every day, butit’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night — so you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule. Starting at least an hour before you hit the sack, cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting, experts advise. ____19____Plan something to look forward to.____20____“Now is the time to go buy your favorite coffee or pick up some pastries to have when your alarm goes off at 5 a. m.,” she says. “You’re not dreading it if you think of that.”A.Reschedule your bedtime.B.Wind down in the evenings.C.The sun is the driver of our internal clock.D.There are two ways to approach your journey to early rising.E.To tempt you out of bed, Martin suggests treating yourself to something special. F.Being exposed to artificial light in the late evening could interfere with your ability to fall asleep.G.They also recommend rethinking the curtains you might use to foster a very dark sleeping environment.三、完形填空Many adults believe they are not artistic and feel nervous about visual art.

This East-meets-West couple started traveling while their younger son was still in nappies in 2003. Most of their trips, most of which are far from the hot spots recommended by travel guidebooks, seem more rigorous than leisurely — heritage study in the Mongolian deserts, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb of three English summits and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.“Real travel may be hard, uncertain, uncomfortable, but there’s a feel-good factor when you pass a test of some kind,” Lindesay wrote in the family’s newly published travel memoir Pages of Discovery.Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but that experience of the world outside, in distant lands, with different languages, scripts, political structures, and religious beliefs, is the real testing ground.Children in this international family did not have the same pressure to perform on school tests, but they had “homework” on the road. Wu asked her sons to write travel diaries, collect tickets, draw maps and summarize travel tips. She says such habits, though they might not directly improve test scores, will pay dividends in later life.These experiences certainly shaped their sons’ characters and influenced their chosen study at university. One read world history, the other international relations. The two brothers also share an interest in historical monuments, and the Great Wall in particular. They are now planning to follow in their father’s footsteps with a new 4,500-km hike on the Great Wall.“My parents view the world as a big classroom, and my brother and I are the biggest beneficiaries,” Jimmy says.4.Which of the following best describes their trips across the world?A.Hard and risky.B.Unique yet stressful.C.Challenging and educational.D.Leisurely yet rewarding.5.What can we infer about the couple from the text?A.They think little of school education.B.They believe travel provides real education.C.They ask their sons to follow their career path.D.They require their sons to perform well on school tests.6.What do the underlined words “pay dividends” mean in paragraph 5?A.Bring advantages.B.Pay a price.C.Improve scores.D.Make mistakes.7.What does the family’s story tell us?A.Good company on the road is the shortest cut.B.Good habits formed at youth make all the difference.C.A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.D.It is better to travel 10,000 miles than to read 10,000 books.Young people are being criticized for working from home again, with one professor saying it adversely affects their professional and romantic success.Scott Galloway, a marketing professor at the New York University, spoke about the harms of being at home at The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit, on Wednesday.A clip posted on TikTok shows Galloway saying, “You should never be at home. That’s what I tell young people. Home is for seven hours of sleep and that’s it. The amount of time you spend at home is oppositely correlated to your success professionally and romantically. You need to be out of the house.”In another clip at the same event, the professor insisted that success and work-life balance do not go hand in hand. He said, “If you expect to be in the top 10% economically, much less the top 1%, buck up. Two decades plus, of nothing but work. That’s my experience.”Galloway has long been an advocate of office working and shunned remote working habits because it weakens young people’s ability to build relationships and network. He previously advised young workers, “Before you collect dogs and spouses, get into the office, establish mentors, establish friends,” in an interview with CNN. He added that workers who get promoted are the ones with the best relationships at work.Billionaire CEO Elon Musk is also on a campaign against remote workers and called the practice “morally wrong” in a recent interview with CNBC.Musk has incorporated this value across his various companies including giving Tesla employees a final warning to either quit or return to the office last year. He also called Twitter employees back to the office 40 hours a week shortly after his $44 billion takeover.However, remote working may be here to stay. Around 55% of remote workers in the US said they are willing to take a pay cut to continue working from home, a recent poll by The Washington Post found.8.What can be the harm of working from home according to Galloway?A.Less successful careers.B.Imbalance between work and life.C.Worse relationship at home.D.Loss of sleep time.9.What can be Galloway’s advice to young workers?A.Develop remote working habits.B.Keep a pet at home.C.Establish relationships in the office.D.Get promotion at work.10.Why are Tesla and Twitter mentioned in Paragraph 7?A.To present n solution to remote working.B.To explain the harm of working remotely.C.To illustrate Musk’s attitude to working from home.D.To warn the remote worker of the possible job loss.11.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Remote workers will be less paid.B.Remote working will disappear sooner or later.C.The majority of people prefer remote working.D.Remote working is controversial among people.A new study suggests that mindfulness education — lessons on techniques to calm the mind and body — can reduce the negative effects of stress and increase students’ ability to stay engaged, helping them stay on track academically and avoid behavior problems.After finding that students who self-reported mindful habits performed better on tests and had higher grades, researchers from the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University wanted to know if school-based mindfulness training could help more students reap similar benefits.They designed a study focusing on sixth-graders in a Boston school. The study showed that sixth-graders who participated in an eight-week mindfulness were less stressed out thantheir classmates who hadn’t. Practicing mindfulness had helped improve the ability to focus in the moment, expanding students’ capacity to learn and regulate their emotions.Four times a week, instructors from Calmer Choice, a Massachusetts nonprofit specializing in mindfulness education, taught the group techniques and led them through practices, like focusing on a rock for a minute, then discussing when their mind wandered and refocused on the rock. Another group of sixth-graders took computer coding during that time instead. The students were randomly assigned between the groups.At the end of the eight weeks, the mindfulness group reported being less stressed than they had been before the mindfulness education, and better able to practice self-control. And their amygdalae, the part of the brain that controls emotion, responded less to pictures of fearful faces than they did prior to the mindfulness work, suggesting their brains were less sensitive to negative stimuli, or, in other words, that they were less likely to get stressed out and lose focus. The group who attended coding classes didn’t see the same benefits.The findings suggest that the mindfulness instruction helped boost students’ attention skills, as well as develop coping mechanisms for stress. The researchers believe it could be especially useful for schools to support students suffering from severe mental damage and other adversities that trigger stress in the body, hurting students’ ability to succeed. 12.What was the purpose of the study?A.To examine the techniques for practicing mindfulness.B.To study the effects of group mindfulness training on students.C.To see how students help themselves to perform better on tests.D.To understand why mindfulness training calms the mind and body.13.How was the study conducted?A.By listing benefits of mindfulness education.B.By scanning the brain to see how it controls emotions.C.By teaching different students different mindfulness skills.D.By comparing two groups of students attending different classes.14.What change took place after the students practiced mindfulness work?A.They felt easier to stay focused.B.They were better at computer coding.C.Their mind was wandering more actively.D.Their brains were more aware of negativity.15.Who are the most possible target readers of the passage?A.Stressful parents.B.Mindful instructors.C.Emotional students.D.School educators.二、七选五Some people measure success by the wealth they’ve accumulated, or the status they’ve achieved. Yet, even though they’ve reached success beyond their wildest dreams, they still feel something is missing from their life. Their soul may be searching for something more.16Although everyone is different, there are common threads that bind a life with purpose.Live by your beliefs and values.People who live a life of purpose have core beliefs and values that influence their decisions, shape their daily actions, and determine their priorities. They place significant value on being a person of virtue. 17 And they spend more time listening to their inner voice than being influenced by others.Follow your passion.People who live a life of purpose wake up each morning eager to face the new day. They pursue their dreams with enthusiasm, put their heart into everything they do, and feel that they’re personally making a difference. As James Dean once said, “ 18 ”Feel content.People who live a life of purpose have an inner peace. They’re satisfied with what they have and who they are. 19 As the saying goes, “The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money.”20People who live a life of purpose have a positive impact on someone else’s life. They are willing to help people in need and make their life better and happier. They gain as much satisfaction witnessing the success of others as witnessing their own.Without purpose, it’s easy to wander aimlessly through life instead of following your North Star. Without purpose, it’s easy to achieve remarkable success and still feel that life is passing you by.A.Make a difference.B.It’s the purpose of life.C.Put others before yourself.D.So they live with certain moral principles.E.The secret of success is constancy to purpose.F.Dream as if you’ll live forever and live as if you’ll die today.G.To them, the grass is greener on their own side of the fence.三、完形填空Long ago, in a village lived a wise old man.

2023届四川省石室中学高三高考适应性模拟检测英语试题(一)

2023届四川省石室中学高三高考适应性模拟检测英语试题(一)学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解We are all aware of the effect greenhouse gas emissions (排放) is having on our planet and the efforts needed to protect the earth. Most of us are doing our bit to reduce our influence or the environment, but despite our collective effort, are we doing enough to achieve net zero by 2050?Net zero means not adding to the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Many countries are doing their bit by changing how they produce and use power to cut down carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) output. And they announced what further steps they were going to take at the recent COP26 summit in Glasgow (格拉斯哥气候峰会).In the UK, the government has been setting out its plans to achieve net zero by 2050. It’s recently announced an end date for the sale of gas boilers, which are used for heating homes. The idea is to replace them with heat pumps. It’s offering homeowners up to £5, 000 to replace them. Another plan in the UK is a big push towards electric cars. More charging points are to be added in streets, and no new petrol cars will be sold by 2030.But not all emissions can be reduced to zero, so there should be other ways to make up for it. One way to do this is to plant thousands of trees, which are good at taking in carbon dioxide. The UK government has promised to plant 30, 000 hectares of trees a year by 2025. Other ideas can work too, but what’s certain is this will cost money. The CBI’s (英国工业联合会) Tom Thackray told the BBC, “those costs have to be weighed up against the cost of doing nothing.”Whether the UK, or anyone else, reaches net zero is yet to be seen. And there’s some doubt about how this can be accurately measured anyway. But it’s generally recognised that a global effort is needed to protect the environment. Therefore, net zero targets only make sense if every other country is moving in the same direction.1.It can be inferred from the passage that_______.A.people are doing enough to reduce the amount of green gasB.gas boilers must be replaced by the end of 2030 in the UKC.Tom Thackray believed the UK government is wasting moneyD.it might be difficult to judge whether the UK reaches net zero2.What’s the writer’s attitude towards net zero targets?A.Negative.B.Subjective.C.Objective.D.Supportive. 3.What’s the best title for the passage?A.Achieving Net Zero Target Together B.Protecting the Environment C.Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions D.Planting More Trees TogetherIf you are a fan of medical films, then you will know there are emergency helicopter services that will take badly injured patients to hospitals long distances away. You probably also know that in these films most ambulances (救护车) are on wheels and go across city streets where there are fewer traffic jams than in real life.But now, Israel’s Urban Aeronautics, announced that it made an agreement to work with Hatzolah Air to produce and develop its CityHawk aircraft as an emergency medical service. The CityHawk is small and can fly anywhere and land anywhere, making it able to work in cities above the traffic jam. It has no wings outside and can work even in bad weather conditions.“We are excited to work with Hatzolah Air on the development of our CityHawk vehicle,” said Rafi Yoeli, CEO of Urban Aeronautics. “Its small size will enable it to land in the middle of a busy city street, making it a perfect fit for medical tasks by greatly reducing the time it takes to arrive on-scene, treat and transport sick or injured patients to medical facilities.”“One of Hatzolah’s most important goals is to be somewhere within minutes. Unlike helicopters, we can land anywhere within minutes,” Yoeli said. “We will be able to improve the care of patients. They want to be equipped with the best aircraft.” Hatzolah Air’s president Eli Rowe said that he foresees (预测) the possible need for 800 CityHawks since it is asix-passenger vehicle that can carry a pilot, a patient and a team of professionals.Urban Aeronautics is working on certification (认证) for emergency use of its CityHawk aircraft. The development of the flying ambulance is expected to take up to five years but a model will be ready sooner. A flying ambulance may be coming to a city near you soon. 4.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To give an example of medical rescue.B.To lead to the topic of the flying ambulance.C.To show the future market for aircraft medical service.D.To tell the advantages of emergency medical helicopters.5.What do we know about the CityHawk?A.It makes medical tasks in cities more convenient.B.It will take the place of ambulances on city roads.C.It is difficult to operate in bad weather conditions.D.It can carry enough medical supplies immediately.6.What’s Rafi Yoeli’s attitude towards the development of the CityHawk?A.Worried.B.Doubtful.C.Positive.D.Surprised. 7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The CityHawk has got certification from the government.B.The CityHawk faces great difficulties to become a reality.C.The CityHawk draws great attention of hospitals.D.The CityHawk will come into use in the near future.The city of Marquette in Michigan is closing a section of a road to vehicular traffic every night to protect migrating salamanders (蝾螈). From 8 p. m. to 8 a. m. daily until April 15 or until the migration is completed, a section of Peter White Drive in Presque Isle Park will be closed, the city announced.“Protecting the blue-spotted salamanders’ migration is vital, as they are an indicator species, informing us about the health of our environment,” said Kathleen Henry, Superior Watershed Partnership (SWP) special projects coordinator (协调员) and education specialist. The salamanders spend the cold winter under-ground. Then every spring, they make their way to the water where they lay eggs.It was in 2018 that Eli Bieri, a former Northern Michigan University student, noticed vehicles were killing hundreds of these migrating salamanders. “We would see thousands and thousands of salamanders crossing the street in just one night,” Bieri told the Detroit Free Press. “It was really amazing — until we see cars pass by and squish salamanders. That really troubled me — it kept me awake at night.” He enlisted the help of the SWP, who reached out to Marquette city officials. Last spring they got the relevant stretch of road within the park temporary closed to evening and overnight vehicular traffic.In 2019, before the closure, they found 429 salamander carcasses (尸体) in the road. Last year, they counted only 3 carcasses. With that success demonstrated, city officials aredoing the same this year. “The goal is to apply our science to wildlife management,” Bieri said. “To be able to see in-person the science applied to successful management practices was very satisfying.”8.What’s the significance of protecting the salamanders?A.Salamanders can offer great financial benefits to the governments.B.Protecting salamanders can greatly reduce traffic accidents at night. C.Salamanders are a great sign for our environment’s conditions.D.Salamanders are main food for other living creatures near the sea.9.What does the underlined word “squish” in paragraph 3 mean?A.Avoid.B.Kill.C.Feed.D.Ignore. 10.Which word can be used to describe the effect of protecting measure? A.Successful.B.Concerning.C.Insufficient.D.Ridiculous. 11.What is a suitable title for the text?A.What Salamanders Mean to UsB.A Proper Way to Protect Our EarthC.Ways to Protect SalamandersD.A 12-Hour Closure for WildlifeA study by a team of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) psychologists has found a link between extraverts (外向的人) and their word choices. The finding highlights the need for stronger linguistic indicators to be developed for use in online personality prediction tools, which are being rapidly adopted by companies to improve digital marketing strategies.Today, marketing companies use predictive algorithms (算法) to help them forecast what consumers want based on their online behaviors. For example, an extravert consumer might be attracted to marketing messages that match their personality, and retail brands could then choose to target such consumers by using more extraverted and creative language to advertise their products. However, personality prediction tools available today that are used by marketing firms are not entirely accurate due to a lack of theoretically sound designs. This may lead to a weakness affecting the performance of the machine learning algorithms. This begs the question—how should we create robust and accurate personality predictions?The study found a correlation between extraverts and their tendency to use certaincategories of words. The results showed a small strength of relationship between extraversion and the use of “positive emotion words” and “social process words.”Positive emotion words are defined as words that describe a pleasant emotional state, such as “love”, ”happy”, or “blessed”, or that indicate positivity or optimism, such as “beautiful” or “nice”. Social process words include words containing personal pronouns except “I”, and words showing social intentions, such as “meet”, “share” and “talk”.Moving forward, the NTU research team will investigate the relationship between extraversion and other word categories. They hope their work will provide clarity on the types of words that can help guide the development of more accurate machine learning tools for personality prediction.12.We learn from the passage the findings of the study can be used to help ______. A.observe consumers’ behaviorB.forecast the need of companiesC.create practical personality predictionsD.find correlation between extraverts and ads13.What does the underlined word “robust” mean in Paragraph 2?A.Renewable.B.Forceful.C.Doubtful.D.Variable. 14.Which of the following words may belong to extraverts’ commonly used vocabulary? A.Dispute.B.Interaction.C.Disaster.D.Loneliness. 15.What does the last paragraph focus on?A.The direction of future research.B.The theoretical basis of the study.C.The strength of business strategies.D.The development of machine learning tools.二、七选五There is much debate nowadays as to what makes up a healthy diet.____16____However, there is increasing evidence that the real driver of poor health is not so much fatty food, but it is so much sugar. Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans. And in America, people who receive 25% of their daily calories or more through sugar are twice as likely to die from heart disease than people who receive less than 10% a day (Journalof the American Medical Association, 2021). This is true regardless of how healthy the rest of their diet might be. Put it more simply, while people continue to argue over whether or not fatty food is dangerous, we already know that sugar is a killer.____17____The average American gets 1/3 of his or her sugar through sweet drinks alone. The American Heart Association recommends that we limit ourselves to less than100-150 calories a day from sugar, which is less than what is usually contained in one can of sweet drink or in a single candy bar. ____18____You have to stop having sweet drinks altogether.Beyond this, you can keep healthy by consuming different categories of fresh foods, especially fruit and vegetables, which are full of vitamins and fibre, rather than processed foods. ____19____They have higher quantities of sugar, salt, and fat than fresh ingredients (原料). Besides this, it is also important to have some meat, beans, or dairy products in your diet, as they provide the necessary protein for strong bones and muscle growth. As with everything in life, moderation (适度) is key. The ideal diet is a balanced one,without too much or too little of any one thing.Finally, a fundamental key to healthy eating is to eat slowly. It takes about twenty minutes from the time when you start eating for your brain to tell your body that you are full. What this means is that people who chew too quickly end up eating too much food because they still feel hungry. ____20____It will also allow you to enjoy your food more. A.Processed foods often contain less nutrition.B.Don’t let food become the centre of your life.C.Eating a large amount of food each time is not necessary.D.Much of this extra sugar comes from sweets and sweet drinks.E.Eating slowly also allows your body to digest your food better.F.In other words, if you want to be healthy, you have to cut down on desserts.G.For example, scientists have insisted for years that a big enemy of health is fatty food.三、完形填空Years ago, my sixth grade teacher had us write letters to our heroes. ___21___ others wrote to Nelson Mandela or Hillary Clinton, I wrote to Jennifer Cihi, a popular singer.

2023届湖南省常德市高三下学期3月模拟考试英语试题

2023届湖南省常德市高三下学期3月模拟考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解It’s hard to imagine a visual record of the 20th century without Picasso. The Spanish artist captured everything from the horrors of war to the boundless possibilities of the human form. Even those unfamiliar with the modern art history can likely identify a few of his best-known paintings,The Old GuitaristCompleted: Late 1903 to early 1904Where to see it: Art Institute of ChicagoThe Old Guitarist has to be one of the most sorrowful paintings to ever capture the rt world’s imagination. The figure depicted (描绘) thin and cross-legged appears exhausted as he sits over his brown guitar.Garcon a la PipeCompleted: 1905Where to see it: Private collectionWith Garcon a la Pipe (Boy With a Pipe), we move from Picasso’s blue period to the more lively rose period. And while the figure in the oil-on-canvas portrait is clothed in blue, the background features happier shades of ochre and pink.Girl Before a MirrorCompleted: 1932Where to see it: Museum of Modern Art (New York)If there’s a single painting that screams Picasso, this might be the one. Girl Before a Mirror is alive with color, pathos and charming shapes that take cubism to its extremes. Picasso said he preferred this painting to any of the others, according to MOMA’s founding director, Alfred H. Barr Jr.GuernicaCompleted: 1937Where to see it: Museo Reina Sofia (Madrid)Guernica is Picasso’s best-known work. Its depiction of an aerial bombing attack on the Basque town of Guemnica in April 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, was a visual prelude(序曲) to coming violent act of World War II. The muted tones of gray further emphasize the shapes of humans, their arms outstretched in extreme pain. Guernica has become one of the most recognizable anti-war paintings in history.1.Where can we see The Old Guitarist?A.In Paris.B.In Chicago.C.In New York.D.In Madrid.2.Which painting is Picasso’s favorite?A.The Old Gullarist.B.Garcon d la Pipe.C.Girl Before a Mirror.D.Guernica.3.What does Picasso describe in Guernica?A.The greed of human.B.The cruelty of the war.C.The misfortune of women.D.The suffering of the poor.A four-year-old boy discovers that compassion (同情) for the 1ess fortunate can produce amazing results. Our hero’ s origin story started this past February. Austin and his father, TJ Perine, went to the Firehouse Ministries, a local shelter that provides housing, food, and other services for homeless men. As they drove by the redbrick building, they saw a group of 25 homeless men standing on the street corner. “Dad, they look sad,” Austin said. “Can we take them some food and make them smile?”That day, Austin used his allowance to buy each man a Burger King sandwich and handed the food out himself. Seeing what their presence meant to the men at the ministry, Austin and TJ returned the next week. Austin again dipped into his piggy bank to buy sandwiches, which he banded out along with his new catchphrase, “Don’t forget to show love?”After he returned every week for five weeks, word of Austin’s acts of kindness spread through social media and national news outlets. Burger King jumped aboard, agreeing to donate $1,000 a month for an entire year toward the cause. Soon, churches and shelters across the country began inviting Austin to come distribute food in other poverty-prone areas. Whereas before Austin and TJ could feed 25 to 50 people at a time, now, thanks to corporate and community support, they can feed 800 to 2,000 people at once.Austin’s passion has now become his family’s calling. His mother Audrey established the Show Love Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting homelessness. She now servesas president, and TJ left his job to oversee public relations for the foundation full time. He’s in talks with the city of Birmingham to secure the redbrick building where it all started—Firehouse Ministries is moving--as the site of their own shelter, which will offer medical and mental care as preventive steps against homelessness.As for Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his inspirational message of love. “It makes me feel like I’m saving the day.”4.What did Austin do with his pocket money?A.Travel across the country.B.Build a shelter for the poor. C.Improve the life of his family.D.Buy some food for the homeless. 5.Why did the author mention Burger King in paragraph 3?A.To make an advertisement for it.B.To show the effect of Austin’s act. C.To praise its kindness and support.D.To seek its help for the less fortunate. 6.What can we learn about the Show Love Foundation?A.It is highly profitable.B.It was set up by Austin.C.It will provide health care.D.It’s funded by the government. 7.Which word can best describe Austin and his parents?A.Warm-hearted.B.Peace-loving.C.Hard-working.D.Quick-minded.The World Economic Forum predicts the global population will hit 9.8 billion by 2050, which means we might need to grow as much as double the amount of food we do today and do it without significantly consuming limited resources such as land and water.But there are reasons to be positive. Historically, human intelligence has risen to the population challenge. 8,000 years ago in the first agricultural revolution, the plough (犁) transformed productivity. In the 1 800s, inventions such as the seed drill brought a degree of mechanization to farming. Then, in the mid-20th century, there were major breakthroughs in artificial fertilizer and plant science.Now, we are entering a fourth age of agriculture. Innovation is exploding. The digital transformation of agriculture is not theory. It’s real. And it’s having a huge impact across all aspects of farming.In April 2020, Chinese drone (无人机) maker XAG organized a rice seeding demonstration in Guangdong province. First, it invited two workers to spread 5kg of riceseeds the traditional way- by wading across 1,200 square metres of waterlogged field. The laborious process took 25 minutes. Then it unleashed (释放) its XAG XPlanet drone on the same task. The unmanned aerial system followed a pre-programmed route and threw rice seeds from the air. It completed the job in 120 seconds. XAG claims its system can use up to 90 per cent less water and 30 percent fewer chemicals than traditional technique.Barcelona-based startup Faromatics has also attracted a lot of attention for its EU-funded invention: a robot called the ChickenBoy. It lets chicken farmers autonomously monitor their stock. The robot glides along the ceiling and uses a set of sensors to measure temperature, air quality, light and sound in poultry housing. Farmers can use a cloud platform to set the ChiekenBoy to send mobile alerts.The task of feeding 9.8 billion mouths by 2050 is one of the greatest facing humanity, but thanks to technology, there is good reason to be confident for the future.8.What is the purpose of paragraph 2?A.To express the author’s confidence in the human wisdom.B.To tell us some challenges in the agricultural development.C.To show us the present situation of the world food shortage.D.To call on the government to take some effective measures.9.What is the advantage of XAG XPlanet drone?A.It saves more money than the manual seeding.B.It’s more efficient and environmentally friendly.C.It can rapidly reduce wastage and improve yields.D.It helps farmers make better decisions about seeding.10.What can be inferred about the ChickenBoy?A.Its system needs to be improved.B.It aims to attract farmers’ attention,C.It was invented y a chicken farmer.D.It helps farmers look after the chicken.11.What does “human intelligence” refer to in the passage?A.Smart farming.B.Agricultural revolution.C.Plant science.D.Artificial intelligence.Fragile. Oversensitive. Glued to their phones. Is this what comes to mind when we thinkof the teens of this generation? While this may be true, there might be more to this generation of teens than what is generally perceived.Never before have the lives of any generation of teens been as flooded with mobile technology and social media as the teens of this generation. The popularity of social media has led to a world in which teens have to participate in Instagram, TikTok and Twitter, or else cause the social anger of their friends, some of whom communicate primarily via those online platforms. As compared to their parents or grandparents who were likely less connected and more isolated, these teens are constantly exposed to the highlight reels (高光时刻) of many in their social circles and beyond. It is no wonder that the self-esteem and mental health of this generation’s teens have taken a hit.Moreover, the teens today are more individualistic. This is in contrast to the kampong spirit of their parents’ and grandparents’ days. Gone is the friendship among neighbours who are friendly with one another and quick to offer a helping hand when they see another in need. In its place, we have teens who may not even have a clue as to who lives in the unit next to theirs, much less offer a friendly nod or wave when they happen to cross paths with a neighbour.Yet, the effects of technology on this generation of teens are not all bad. Arguably, the very connectedness that social media brings about has led to being more progressive. Logging onto platforms where people of all walks of life gather means that one is exposed to those people and their distinctive ways of life. In comparison, the parents or grandparents of this generation of tens probably did not have the same opportunity to get to know people outside of their social circles at their age, and are thus more likely to have fixed, stereotypical (刻板的) opinions of people different from them. This generation of teens, on the other hand, has the chance to use this technology to understand the variety and diversity out there. 12.What does the underlined phrase “have taken a hit” mean in Paragraph 2?A.Have been terribly hurt.B.Have improved a lot.C.Have recovered soon.D.Have been ignored.13.Which belongs to the kampong spirit according to Paragraph 3?A.Telephone your parents regularly.B.Never say Hi to your classmates. C.Share your food with neighbours.D.Borrow money from your teacher. 14.What good effect does social media have on the teens?A.They are more ambitious and active.B.They are more friendly and generous.C.They are more independent of their parents.D.They are more open-minded and better informed.15.How is the text developed?A.By giving examples.B.By showing statistics.C.By making comparisons.D.By providing instructions.二、七选五Tai chi has been studied scientifically in recent years.

Wondering how to get started in taichi?____16____A tai chi instructor can teach you some specific positions and how to control your breathing.____17____Although tai chi is slow and gentle without side effects, it’s possible to get injured if you don know how to do tai chi properly.

conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of healthy eating.This made Musk think a lot—how he might make a difference to the food industry—but beyond expanding his farm-to-table movement along with his restaurant,Musk hadn’t yet broken the code.Then he went sailing down a snowy slope(坡)and fell over,breaking his neck.Musk eventually made a full recovery,but it involved spending two months on his back, which gave him plenty of time to come up with a plan.Since then,he has launched an initiative to put“learning gardens”in public schools across America;attracted Generation Z to the farming profession by changing shipping containers into high-tech,data-driven,year-round farms;and this year,is kicking off a new campaign to create one million at-home gardens.Aimed at reaching low-income families,the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic,as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s lives.“We were getting a lot of inquiries about gardening from people that had never gardened before,”says Musk.“People were looking to garden for a bunch of reasons:to save money on groceries,to improve the nutritional quality of their diets,or just to cure the boredom that came with the lockdown.”The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors,and will be distributed through schools that Musk’s non-profit,Big Green,has already partnered with.It also offers free courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and materials forthe changing growing seasons.“It’s not difficult.Anyone can do this,no matter where you come from,no matter where you live.We are all able to grow something,”says Musk. 4.What inspired Musk to make a difference to food industry?A.The pandemic.B.A skiing accident.C.Jamie Oliver’s speech.D.The farm-to-table movement. 5.What is a cause of people beginning gardening according to Musk?A.To get access to healthy food.B.To make their house beautiful.C.To make money by selling garden produce.D.To build up their strength during the pandemic.6.What does the Million Gardens Movement focus on?A.Encouraging people to preserve nature.B.Providing free food for low-income families.C.Promoting“learning gardens”across schools.D.Educating new gardeners to grow their own food.7.Which of the following best describes Musk?A.Charity-minded.B.Stubborn.C.Easy-going.D.Scholarly.IntroductionBlenheim Palace is one of the Europe’s largest and greatest palaces.It was built between 1705and1722as a

2024届山西省高三下学期高考英语模拟试题(含答案)

2024届山西省高三下学期高考英语模拟试题(含答案)

2024届山西省高三下学期高考英语模拟试题一、阅读理解1、New York City has many remarkable parks and open ces that are perfect for hanging out in warm weather. Here are four of our favorite places to take a scenic walk, plus where to eat nearby.Louis Valentino, Jr. ParkDon’t let all of the factories fool you — Louis Valentino, Jr. Park has the best view of the Statue of Liberty. When you get hungry, stop by Red Hook Lobster Pound for mayo-coated lobster (龙虾). Sit at one of the cafe’s first come, first served outdoor tables, or eat on the waterfront.Riverside ParkStretching 4 miles from 72nd to 158th St, Riverside Park is perfect for hanging out along the Hudson River, enjoying beautiful views of New Jersey. If walking the whole way isn’t your thing, there’s a bike path too. Daily Provisions offers fantastic sandwich choices, like juicy chicken and smoked bacon.Central ParkThere are many reasons to walk through Central Park this spring: historic landmarks, great bird watching spots, and hanging out with friends. And while these are enjoyable activities, they’re even better with a pastrami sandwich from Pastrami Queen.Ridgewood ReservoirAt Ridgewood Reservoir, you’ll find an easy hiking spot with a peaceful nature preserve and skyline views of Manhattan. After hiking, head to Rolo’s for various sandwich options. It has outdoor tables but no heaters, so you can take everything to go if it’s too cold out.【小题1】What is the best spot for enjoying views of the Statue of Liberty?【小题2】What makes Riverside Park an attractive destination?【小题3】Where is this article most likely sourced from?2、Charlie Jeffers, 17, a senior at Redwood High School in Marin County, Calif., has loved Lego since age 4. His room is full of Lego bricks. Noticing his friends start throwing away their old Lego collections, he hatched a plan. “Legos are pricey,” he noted. “Many can’t afford them.”He started collecting unwanted Lego parts from friends and neighbors, spreading the word through community notices and door-to-door visits.The response was surprising. Donations of old Lego sets poured in, propelling Jeffers to formalize his efforts under the banner of Pass the Bricks. Together with a dedicated team of volunteers, Jeffers and his teammates carefully clean, sort, and repurpose collected Lego pieces into imaginative sets. These sets, each with roughly 20 to 60 pieces, are carefully made to create scenes such as blind dates or family photoshoots. Since its start in 2020, Pass the Bricks has made a significant success. With over 3,000 sets donated to date, Jeffers and his team are driven by two purposes: to reduce landfill waste and to provide Legos to children who might otherwise go without. Jeffers stresses the educational value of Lego, emphasizing its capacity to inspire creativity and learning.Pass the Bricks has since expanded its reach nationwide, with volunteers in several states distributing sets to local charities. To ensure each set is presented with care, Jeffers uses donations and personal funds from his job at a gym to purchase affordable cardboard gift boxes online. These sets, accompanied by instructions and a photo of the finished product, are distributed to various organizations and directly to children at local schools.Despite his approaching to college, Jeffers remains devoted to his commitment to Pass the Bricks. He plans to continue and expand the initiative, driven by a desire to share the joy and educational benefits of Lego with as many children as possible. “We’re grateful to share them with the kids and families we serve,” Jeffers expresses. Reflecting on his own Lego-filled childhood, he acknowledges its profound influence. “I aim to provide others with the same chance,” he emphasizes, echoing his ongoing commitment to sharing the joy of Lego with all.【小题1】What is the primary purpose of Pass the Bricks?【小题2】Which best replaces the word “propelling” in paragraph 2?【小题3】How does Jeffers ensure that each set is presented with care?【小题4】What does Jeffers hope to achieve by continuing Pass the Bricks?3、If you’re lucky enough to live near forests, you’ll know that it’s cooler under the trees during hot mid-days. Even if you live in a city with more buildings than trees, visiting a local park or garden can help you stay cool.A study from the University of Surrey in the UK found that botanical gardens can make city air cooler by up to 5 degrees Celsius. Wetlands and rain gardens aren’t far behind, cooling the air by about 4.7 and 4.5 degrees Celsius. Trees along streets also help, lowering air temperatures by 3.8 degrees Celsius, while city parks can make it 3.2 degrees Celsius cooler.The paper notes that an air temperature of 40.3℃ (104.5℉) broke records in the UK on July 19, 2022. Some 62, 862 deaths were linked to summer heat across Europe in the same year, while the 2003 heatwave in Europe led to an economic loss of €16 billion due to drought and crop failures. According to the IPCC, “green and blue urban infrastructure (基础设施) elements, including parks, engineered greening projects, wetlands, green walls, and botanical gardens, are particularly effective in reducing air temperatures in cities”.We’ve already seen a number of architecture projects around the world employ large amounts of greenery to promote local cooling, along with beneficial landscaping. However, it’s important to recognize that there isn’t one simple solution to suit every site, and much will depend on effective planning.“Our paper confirms just how many ways there are to keep cool,” added Professor Maria de Fatima Andrade at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. "But it also reveals how much work is left to do. Institutions around the world need to invest in the right research-because what’s very clear from our study is that there is no universal solution. It depends on what works for your community.”【小题1】What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs?【小题2】Why does the author mention “Europe” in paragraph 3?【小题3】What does Professor Andrade emphasize about cooling solutions?【小题4】What might be a suitable title for the passage?4、 A team of scientists from the Center for Cognition and Sociality and the Data Science Group at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) made an exciting discovery about how computers and human brains work similarly when remembering things. They found out that the way artificial intelligence (AI) models, like those in smart robots, store memories is a lot like how our brain’s memory center, called the hippocampus (海马体), does it. This part of the brain is really important for feelings and memories.Understanding how AI learns and keeps information is key to making it smarter. The scientists looked into how our brains learn and remember by focusing on a special process involving the NMDA receptor, a critical part of the hippocampus. This receptor works like a smart door in our brain that helps with learning and remembering. It opens when certain brain chemicals are present, allowing the cell to receive signals and create memories. A specific element, magnesium, acts like a guard, only letting substances in under the right conditions.Interestingly, the team found that Transformer, a type of AI model, uses a similar “guarding”method to manage its memory. They wondered if they could make the Transformer’s memory better by copying the brain’s process. By adjusting some settings in the Transformer to mimic (模拟、模仿) the brain’s memory door, they improved its ability to remember things long-term, just like adjusting magnesium levels can affect how well we remember stuff.This discovery is a big deal because it shows we can use what we know about the brain to make AI smarter. C. Justin LEE, a neuroscience (神经学) director at the institute, mentioned that this research was a big step forward for both AI and brain science. It opens up new ways to understand how the brain works and to create more advanced AI based on these insights.So, in simple terms, scientists have figured out that computers can learn and remember in ways that are surprisingly similar to us, which could help make them even smarter in the future.【小题1】What does the term “NMDA receptor” in paragraph 2 most likely refer to?【小题2】What did the team discover about Transformer?【小题3】What is the significance of the research findings according to C. Justin LEE?【小题4】What is the main idea of the passage?5、How to Develop Critical Thinking SkillsThere’s no magic method to change your thinking processes. Improvement happens with small, intentional changes in your everyday habits until a more critical approach to thinking is automatic. Here are some tips for building stronger self-awareness and learning how to improve critical thinking:Be careful【小题1】. One of the key principles of critical thinking is asking questions and analyzing the available information. You might surprise yourself at what you find when you stop to think before taking action. Before making a decision, use evidence, logic, and reasoning to support your own opinions or challenge ideas. 【小题2】.Ask open-ended questions“Yes” or “no” questions invite agreement rather than reflection. 【小题3】. Digging deeper can help you identify potential biases, uncover assumptions, and arrive at new possible solutions.Learn to be quietActive listening is the intentional practice of concentrating on a conversation partner instead of your own thoughts. 【小题4】. If you’re brainstorming with your team or having a 1:1 with a coworker, listen, ask clarifying questions, and work to understand other people’s viewpoints. This will help you find weaknesses in arguments for better solutions.Put it downRecording your thoughts with pen and paper can lead to stronger brain activity than typing them out on a keyboard. If you’re stuck and want to think more critically about a problem, writing your ideas can help you process information more deeply. 【小题5】. Ideas are more likely to remain in the background of your mind, leading to deeper thinking that informs your decision-making process.二、完形填空6、One sunny afternoon, Lily found a lost kitten hiding behind a bush.

A.$150.B.$175.C.$180.D.$205.For a teenager whose chances of survival were slim when he was born, just making it to the starting line at the Olympics is a miraculous achievement in itself.William Flaherty was born in Cincinnati. When he was 3, he was diagnosed with HLH. It is an often-fatal disease where the immune system attacks the body’s organs. There were days when they didn’t know if he would live through. The 17-year-old Flaherty has had more than 30 operations in his life, including a bone-marrow transplant from his older brother Charles in 2008.At five, William skied for the first time. It helped a lot with low bone density and got him back in good shape. One year later, William moved to Puerto Rico and fell in love with the island. Puerto Rico doesn’t have snow and balancing the island and skiing life was tough. During the first few years a lot of it was pushed by his father and older brother Charles—himself a former Olympic skier. Motivated by his older brother, William wanted to give it a try himself. When he brought up to represent Puerto Rico in Alpine skiing, his friends laughed. However, he didn’t let it hold him back.As a teenager, Flaherty had to balance his training with medical appointments and going to school. Even a cold could lay him up for two weeks, so William took extra pre-cautions over the last two years. While training, he wore an N95 mask the whole time and couldn’t ride the lift with anyone. After training, he came home directly, hid in his bedroom and stayed away from people. He managed to maintain straight A’s despite having to study on chairlifts and do final exams sometimes only days before racing. He had his English final three daysbefore he left for Beijing.“All my medical problems have definitely helped with my motivation. Skiing is really helpful because it forces me to focus on one thing. I really want to prove to all the other transplant survivors that you can do whatever you want in life. Move on with your life and achieve whatever you want,” he said.4.Why did William Flaherty start skiing at the age of five?A.To entertain himself.B.To participate in the Olympics.C.To improve his health.D.To follow in his father’s footsteps. 5.What can we learn about William Flaherty according to the passage?A.His studies gave way to his training for skiing.B.Puerto Rico could offer him better training conditions.C.He was inspired by his older brother Charles in skiing.D.He started to learn skiing when he moved to Puerto Rico.6.Which of the following can best describe William Flaherty?A.Brave and kind.B.Creative and generous.C.Modest and shy.D.Optimistic and hardworking.7.What is a suitable title for the text?A.Skiing Life of a Teenager.B.Preparing Well for the Olympics. C.Surviving from Severe Illness.D.Defeating Disease to Deliver Hope.When it comes to home decoration, one of the first opportunities we get to express ourselves is by choosing which posters to tear out of magazines and stick on our teenage bedroom walls. So why was the humble poster so popular? The simplest argument is that it allows children and teens to match their bedroom to their personality. Adolescence is a time when we long for independence and a voice, and posters allow that freedom. This is particularly important at a time when the bedroom is an important space away from the pressures of school, annoying brothers or sisters and parents who seem to go out of their way to cause embarrassment.Another advantage of posters as a first attempt into decoration is their transience. Buying magazines with pin-ups of your favourite celebrities is a more affordable and less time-consuming alternative to decorating a bedroom and, once a fashion passes, posters can easily be taken down.My own walls were covered with posters from a young age. At the risk of sounding strange, swapping my posters around was a hobby during my teenage years. I’d commit hours to rearranging them on my wall, ensuring every inch was covered.Research conducted by George Home /Asda in 2017 showed just 7 percent of teens had posters on their walls compared to 78 percent in the 1990s, largely due to the“plain walls and fairy lights aesthetic (美学)” favoured by You Tubers and influencers. The experimental teenage bedrooms of Gen X and Millennials are gone, now bypassing the stage entirely and transforming straight into a more adult space.It’s sad to think young people are missing something that played such a big part of youth culture, but times have moved on. And if the love of all things old-fashioned continues to be influenced by shows such as Stranger Things, perhaps the poster will enjoy are birth in popularity, who knows? As someone who found so much joy in the posters that decorated their walls, I really do hope so.8.Why do teenagers prefer posters according to the author?A.They causeless embarrassment to teenagers.B.They are topics to share with others. C.They help reduce the pressures of school.D.They are symbols of freedom and personality.9.Which can best replace the underlined word “transience” in paragraph 2?A.Being necessary.B.Being temporary.C.Being contradictory.D.Being voluntary.10.What can be inferred from the research in 2017?A.Aesthetic is unpopular among adolescents.B.Some social media is to blame for strange aesthetic.C.The love for posters has dropped dramatically recently.D.The experimental model in teenage bedrooms are unreliable.11.What does the author hope for in the last paragraph?A.The poster will be popular again.B.The poster will be updated constantly. C.The poster will not decorate walls anymore.D.The poster will not be influenced by popular shows.Recently, the Norwegian island of Sommary announced that it was getting rid of time to become the world’s first time-free zone. It sounded extremely pleasant—to leave the clockbehind and do what you wanted whenever you wanted to. Unfortunately, the idea turned out to be a clever strategy to attract public attention by Norway’s tourism agency rather than the real deal. But it raises a fundamental question—can we live totally without time?“From a consciousness viewpoint we simply can’t lose our awareness of time, as it’s closely connected to our sense of self,” explains German psychologist Marc Wittmann. “Many cells in our body possess their own autonomous clock. If those clocks get out of sync (不同步), however, it could cause problems.” Canadian scientist Holly Andersen agrees, believing it’s not possible to have conscious experience without the passage of time. Think about how your personal identity is built over time and filed away as memories. “These memories make up who you are over time,” says Andersen.While we can’t give up the concept of the passage of time at such fundamental levels, day in day out forcing our bodies to stick to an abstract concept of time that ignores natural rhythms may lead to physical problems. A typical example is Daylight Saving Time (DST)—where we move clock time one hour forward relative to the cycle of daylight. There are a number of studies suggesting that switching to DST disturbs our internal body clocks, leading to less sleep, worse performance in tests and learning issues.The clock, it seems, isn’t always good for us. So, how can we live in a world ruled by clock time? “Giving yourself permission to do something without any time limit can help restore some of your body’s normal rhythms. If possible, wake up naturally or go for a walk until you feel you’re done. You don’t have to have a life where you meditate (冥想) for ten hours a day,” says Andersen. “But letting go of time restrictions on your actions for a twenty-minute period can be very healthy.”12.What can we say about Sommargy’s announcement?A.It failed to draw public attention.B.It was just a marketing trick.C.It was a rather practical policy.D.It caused too many problems. 13.What do both Wittmann and Andersen agree with?A.Many people tend to save time in unhealthy ways.B.It is difficult to accurately sense the passage of time.C.Your sense of self has little to do with your memories.D.It is impossible for us to live without the sense of time.14.Why does the author mention the studies in paragraph 3?A.To show how our body clocks actually work.B.To explain why DST helps improve efficiency.C.To prove clock time’s potential harm to our health.D.To deny the link between body clocks and clock time.15.What does Andersen advise us to do?A.Exercise for twenty minutes every day.B.Try to do things outside the clock’s control.C.Find effective ways to make use of our time.D.Meditate more to restore our body’s rhythms.二、七选五Humans have long tried to conquer water. We’ve straightened once-winding rivers for shipping purposes. We’ve erected entire cities on wetlands. We’ve built dams on rivers toGies, author of Water Always Wins.Straightened streams move faster than winding ones, giving water less time to flow downward. 17 Dams starve downstream areas of sediment (沉积物) needed to protect coasts against rising seas. And they wash away riverbed ecosystems.In addition to laying out this damage done by supposed water control, Gies takes readers on a hopeful global tour of solutions to these problems. She introduces “water detectives”—scientists, engineers, urban planners, and many others. 18 They have found ways to give water the time and space it needs to flow slowly underground. Around Seattle’s Thornton Creek, for instance, reclaimed land now allows for regular flooding, which has renewed riverbed habitat and created an urban oasis.19 Scientists in Peru are now studying old-style methods of water storage, which don’t require dams, in hopes of ensuring a steady flow of water to Lima—Peru’s populous capital that’s periodically affected by water shortage. The study may help convince those who favor concrete-centric solutions to try something new.Understanding how to work with, not against, water will help humankind weather this age of drought and flood that’s being worsened by climate change. 20 Instead, we must learn to live within our water means because water will undoubtedly win.A.They believe more efforts should be made to control water.B.These techniques pave the way for the construction of dams.C.Controlling water, Gies convincingly argues, is a false belief.D.Cities on former wetlands flood regularly—often disastrously.E.Instead of trying to control water, they ask: What does water want?F.It seems that water is cooperative and willing to flow where we direct it.G.While some people explore new ways, others lean on ancient knowledge.三、完形填空Laura encourages her two kids to make crafts and drawings from old bits of packaging.24.A.game B.lead C.match D.role 25.A.original B.enjoyable C.cautious D.normal 26.A.attended to B.left out C.washed up D.taken away 27.A.equipment B.furniture C.glass D.rubbish 28.A.thoroughly B.delightedly C.modestly D.accidentally 29.A.devoted B.found C.exposed D.buried 30.A.share B.trade C.discuss D.clarify 31.A.necessary B.valuable C.ordinary D.possible 32.A.purchase B.discover C.approach D.preserve 33.A.far-away B.duty-free C.second-hand D.life-long 34.A.pull out B.pick up C.hold back D.keep off 35.A.activity B.idea C.theme D.jungle四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、其他应用文46.假设你是李华,你校英语报正在举办以“The Fruit of Labor Is the Sweetest”为主题的征文活动,请你用英语写一篇短文投稿,内容包括:1. 劳动的益处;2. 简要介绍自己经常参加哪些劳动;3. 呼吁大家热爱劳动。

2024届江苏省南通等六市高三第一次模拟考试英语试题

2024届江苏省南通等六市高三第一次模拟考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Where to Eat in Kuala LumpurGreat restaurants in Kuala Lumpur offer a genuine global dining experience. Whether you are looking to enjoy hearty comfort food or some local delicacies, the city’s dining scene satisfies all comers.Mum’s PlaceNothing brings more comfort than mom’s cooking. With recipes inspired by the owners’ mother, this restaurant brings you Nyonya dishes that are truly Malaysian.

Some food spilled (溢出) out of his mouth, the rest splattered (溅) on his clothes. Arjun attempted to keep his dignity but the frustration forced him to give up and call his helper to feed him.The sight of his uncle’s shaking the spoon so violently inspired Aarrav, 17, from Bengaluru, south India, to turn to robotics. He locked himself in his room with microcontrollers, sensors, motors, and a 3D printer. What emerged was a prototype (原型) of a smart spoon that is now undergoing trials at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru.The sensors in the battery-operated spoon detect shaking on one side and activate movement on the other, effectively cancelling out shaking to keep the spoon stable.“I’ve been fine tuning the design based on the college’s feedback-that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; that it must be removable so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork, ” Aarrav says.For Aarrav it is the peak of a 10-year interest in mechanics that began when his mother bought him a Lego set. He has now represented India at more than 20 robotics competitions across the world.When the blueprint for the smart spoon won first prize in the future innovators category at last year’s World Robot Olympiad in Germany, Aarrav felt encouraged to make the prototype.More than 7 million people in India are estimated to have Parkinson’s disease, a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged and which mainlyaffects people over the age of 50. Symptoms (症状) include involuntary shaking and stiff muscles. As the disease progresses, eating can become more difficult, forcing people to rely on help from others.Aarrav’s ambition is that every family that has someone with Parkinson’s will have the smart spoon. He says his uncle Arjun’s words keep echoing (回响) in his mind: “Who would have thought such a small thing could mean the difference between dignity and indignity?”4.What can Aarrav’s invention help people with Parkinson’s do?A.Control their physical balance.B.Boost their mood and relieve stress.C.Maintain a good range of movement.D.Feed themselves more independently. 5.What does the underlined part “fine tuning” in paragraph 4 mean?A.Overturning.B.Reconsidering.C.Conducting a study of.D.Making minor changes to.6.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Parkinson’s in India?A.To show prospects of Aarrav’s invention.B.To reveal the nation’s poor health situation.C.To popularize general knowledge of the disease.D.To convince people to volunteer for social causes.7.What can be learned about Aarrav from the text?A.He enjoys being alone.B.He has an innovative mind.C.He used to be a health worker.D.He longed to be a businessman.Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World is one of the more important books about climate change to have been written. Hayhoe is a gifted public speaker and Saving Us is a follow-up to her awesome TED talk in 2018, “The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: talk about it”.One of the many refreshing aspects of this book is that Hayhoe recounts both her successes and her failures to communicate, through which she has gathered evidence about what works and what does not. Much of the book’s advice is common sense, all backed up not just by Hayhoe’s experience but also with convincing research by psychologists and social scientists.Hayhoe advises against trying to engage with a small minority, the “Dismissives”, who “angrily reject the idea that human-caused climate change is a threat; they are most receptiveto misinformation and conspiracy theories (阴谋论)”. There is a warning that offering up more facts about climate change can actually increase polarisation among them.The book includes amusing examples of her encounters with the “Dismissives”, almost entirely older men-including an engineer who was unconvinced about the evidence but with whom she was able to establish mutual (相互的) respect through a shared passion for knitting (打毛线衣)—and is packed with inspiring accounts of how she has won over even the most suspicious of crowds. Her motto is “bond, connect and inspire”, which represents her approach of always looking for points of commonality.She also tells of a man who approached her after an event in London in 2019. He had been so inspired by her TED talk that he had started to speak to everybody he could in his neighborhood of Wandsworth. He showed her details of 12, 000 conversations that had taken place as a result, claiming that they had helped to convince the council to declare a climate emergency and to switch investments from fossil fuels to renewable energy.And so, while it may feel difficult to influence the outcome of the COP26, Hayhoe’s uplifting book makes a persuasive case that we can all do our bit to bring about success just by talking about the issue.8.What does the book mainly focus on?A.Sharing climate communication tips.B.Teaching presentation skills with TED talks.C.Exploring critical thinking through literature.D.Promoting people’s insight into climate change.9.Which of the following best describes the advice in the book?A.Humorous but one-sided.B.Novel but contradictory.C.Serious and hard to follow.D.Well-based and workable.10.How did Hayhoe win over the “Dismissives”?A.By changing their political identity.B.By challenging their fundamental beliefs.C.By offering more facts about climate change.D.By seeking common ground built on a shared love.11.What does the author want to say by telling the story in paragraph 5?A.World shift to clean energy is unstoppable.B.We should help people prepare for the climate crisis.C.Policymakers are less responsive to market changes.D.Conversations can influence climate decision-making.Ramirez Castañeda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill. Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time-and it means that some of her findings were never published.“It’s not that I’m a bad scientist,” she says. “It’s just because of the language.”Castañeda is not alone. There is plenty of research in non-English-language papers that gets lost in translation, or is never translated. A research looked through more than 400, 000 peer-reviewed papers in 16 different languages and found 1, 234 studies providing evidence on biodiversity conservation which, because they weren’t in English, may have been overlooked. These included Japanese-language findings on the effectiveness of relocating the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl, the largest owl species.Some experts argue that for the sake of the bigger picture, scientific knowledge should converge (转换) into one common language. Science is very globalised and becoming more so, so the use of a global language is enormous for that.Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator-but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.“So we’re losing observations for science, too, ” says Castañeda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English. We need multilingual (多语种的) science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.”12.What prevented Castañeda’s discoveries from being more widely known?A.Poor management.B.Opposition from her colleagues.C.Her bad reputation.D.The language barrier.13.What’s the consequence of the dominant focus on English in scientific research?A.Inefficient wildlife conservation.B.A knowledge gap in the scientific world.C.A growing interest in non-English papers.D.Inadequate job opportunities for translators.14.What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning forest snakes and frogs?A.The urgency to protect rare species.B.The need to adopt one global language.C.The challenges in translating scientific texts.D.The biodiversity on the South American continent.15.What is presented in the last paragraph of the text?A.A potential solution.B.A theoretical model.C.A popular belief.D.A global trend.Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior. It may feel awkwardlearn how to apologize.First of all, wait until the right time and you are in the right place. Although public apology is often appropriate, discretion (谨慎) should be used. 17 Remember, you will be raising a topic that may recall a bad experience or bad feelings. Be respectful as you approach this task.Be direct and brief in your approach. Acknowledge the fact that injury has occurred and then take responsibility for what happened. Be sincere in expressing your regret and demonstrate your willingness to take ownership of the situation. 18Even if you follow these steps, be prepared for rejection. Sometimes, the person apologizing has an expectation that the apology will lead to immediate forgiveness and acceptance. 19 If you think of the offense (冒犯) as an emotional bruise (瘀伤), think of the healing process as the color changes we see as a bruise heals.20 Knowing when to keep one’s mouth shut is a virtue. Keeping quiet may be very difficult, as post-apology listening is not easy. We may hear unpleasant observations from another about our own shortcomings. We may hear the expression of anger. One of theways we let others know we are truly responsible and accountable for our mistakes is by listening to the other party pour out the feelings associated with our actions.A.Forgiveness and acceptance may take time.B.To give or receive a good apology is an art.C.But with practice, everyone can learn to do it.D.Listening to the response to our apologies is important.E.Most apologies can and should happen in a private setting.F.In other words, avoid excuses and offer to repair the damage.G.Taking responsibility doesn’t mean accepting blame for everything.二、完形填空Last Christmas, I volunteered for WNWNB, a charity which takes surplus (剩余的)24.A.broke away from B.put up with C.cut in onD.warmed up to25.A.threaten B.encourage C.allow D.command 26.A.why B.how C.where D.when 27.A.opened B.repaired C.cleaned D.guarded 28.A.costly B.unfinished C.deserted D.ready 29.A.declined B.reacted C.argued D.traded 30.A.purchases B.interviews C.deliveries D.schedules 31.A.meal B.chat C.report D.silence 32.A.proud B.free C.lonely D.content 33.A.connect with B.look after C.turn to D.rely on 34.A.conversations B.budgets C.explanations D.deals 35.A.hesitated B.started C.ignored D.struggled三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Bertozzi was awakened by a phone call from a Nobel committee representative who told her, “You have 50 minutes to collect yourself and wait until your life changes.” Instructed not to share the announcement outside of her tightest inner circle, the first person Bertozzi called was her father, a retired physics professor from MIT. “He’s 91 and, of course, he was just overjoyed,” said Bertozzi.Carolyn Bertozzi, born October 10, 1966, Boston, was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for her development of bioorthogonal reactions, which allow scientists to explore cells and track biological processes without disturbing the normal chemistry of the cell. She shares the $10 million Swedish kronor (about $1 million USD) prize equally with Morten Meldal, professor at University of Copenhagen and K. Barry Sharpless, professor at Scripps Research “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”Carolyn received a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Harvard University in 1988 and a doctorate in the same subject from the University of California, Berkeley in 1993. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Francisco, from 1993 to 1995. She became an assistant professor at Berkeley in 1996 and a full professor of chemistry and molecular and cell biology in 2002. She also held an appointment as a professor of molecular and cellular pharmacology from 2000 to 2002 at the University of California, San Francisco.In 2015 she became a professor of chemistry at Stanford University.“I could not be more delighted that Carolyn Bertozzi has won the Nobel Prize in chemistry,” said Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne. “In pioneering the field of bioorthogonal chemistry, Carolyn invented a new way of studying biomolecular processes, one that has helped scientists around the world gain a deeper understanding of chemical reactions in living systems. Her work has had remarkable real-world impact, providing new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to treat disease. Carolyn is so deserving of this honor, and all of us at Stanford are too proud to call her one of our own.”Carolyn’s bioorthogonal reactions have been used to study how cells build proteins and other molecules, to develop new cancer medicines, and to produce new materials for energy storage, among many other applications.4.Why does the author mention the phone call Carolyn received in Paragraph 1?A.To introduce the background information of Carolyn.B.To reveal a conversation between two scientists.C.To arouse the readers’ interest in the passage.D.To show the urgency about the information.5.What can we learn about Carolyn from paragraphs 2 and 3?A.Her education and success.B.Her delight and pride.C.Her kindness and devotion.D.Her dream and ambition.6.What can we infer from Marc Tessier-Lavigne’s words?A.He wants to cooperate with Carolyn.B.Carolyn has found a new cure for cancer.C.He benefits greatly from Carolyn’s findings.D.Carolyn’s findings are of great significance.7.What is the text?A.A profile.B.A news report.C.A journal.D.A book review.Kids everywhere love to play. And they know a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now scientists at London’s Queen Mary University report that bumblebees seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play.When people talk about “play”, they’re describing an animal doing something thatdoesn’t really seem to help it. They’re not doing the action to get food or shelter or another similar “reward”. Play usually happens when a creature is relaxed and is often repeated.However, scientists think many animals and birds’ playing is a kind of training for things they’ll have to deal with in later life. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing.Scientists at Dr. Chittka’s lab, carried out an experiment. First, they tagged (贴标签) 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between 1 and 23 days old. The tags made the bees easier to identify and follow.The scientists set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, the researchers placed small colored wooden balls. On one side of the path, the balls were attached and couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around. It turned out that the bumblebees weren’t interested in the unmovable balls, but they made lots of visits to the rolling balls.Grabbing the balls with their legs, the bees would flap (拍打) their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 tagged bumblebees rolled balls 910 times during the experiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls. Males seemed more likely to play than females.“It’s not clear why the bees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings. With further research, the future will hold surprises and answers in store for us,” said Dr. Chittka.8.What is the purpose of animals’ play according to scientists?A.To find ideal shelter.B.To receive extra rewards.C.To develop survival skills.D.To get their fellows’ attention.9.What did Dr. Chittka’s experiment focus on?A.Bumblebees’ categories.B.Bumblebees’ habitats. C.Bumblebees’ intelligence.D.Bumblebees’ behavior.10.What was the result of the experiment?A.Younger male bumblebees preferred to roll the balls.B.Bumblebees possessed different wing beat frequency.C.Bumblebees could distinguish balls of different colors.D.A specially-built pathway helped bumblebees find food.11.What is Dr. Chittka’s attitude to their future research?A.Uncertain.B.Doubtful.C.Optimistic.D.Critical.Jeffrey Boakye, a writer and teacher from London, is right to think that the stories we tell our children shape their future values. Recent research from the End Sexism in Schools campaign also established that children in the UK are still living off a worryingly limited diet of male authors and male main characters.Our research confirms that the novels Boakye mentions in his recent article are in the top five most taught in years 7 to 9. But boys need to be taught to listen to and respect female voices as powerful, and to be empathetic to the viewpoints of women and girls. This is essential in tackling one of the root causes of male violence against women and girls. And girls need to be taught that our expectations of them are not tied to life-denying gender stereotypes (性别刻板印象).English literature could be taught by allowing teachers and students to decide together, exploring relevant and important themes, including those Boakye identifies.The techniques of reading, analyzing and understanding can be taught with examples, but all students need not answer the same questions on the same books, in class or in exams. The current system is more convenient for teachers and graders, but it’s also deeply repetitive. Let the kids choose their own texts: It’ll be less boring and we might just learn something in the end.Parents-challenge your schools to change. Teachers-you have the ability to make these changes. It is our duty as their parents, educators and carers to teach children more books by women, and more books with female main characters and if this means leaving out some of the so-called classics, then so be it.12.What does the underlined word “empathetic” most probably mean in Paragraph 2? A.Approving.B.Enthusiastic.C.Indifferent.D.Understanding.13.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.Teachers and students could do literature research together.B.More say should be given to students about what to read.C.The current system benefits students more than teachers.D.The novels Boakye mentions are boring.14.What does the author suggest English literature teachers do ?A.Ask more open-ended questions.B.Select more materials by females.C.Focus more on reading techniques.D.Reduce the use of classic literature.15.Which of the following could be a suitable title for the text?A.Challenging gender stereotypesB.Reading literature for pleasureC.Enriching the literary diet of childrenD.Understanding children’s literature二、七选五Adversity quotient (AQ逆商) is one’s ability to handle adversities well. It is known by other names such as resilience (适应力) and persistence. ____16____. A person with high AQ is tough and will not easily give up in the face of hardship, and often has the following qualities:____17____As we all know, change is the only constant in life. In the natural world, a creature that cannot adapt to changing circumstances eventually comes to an end.

It is the classic “this too shall pass” mode of psychology.A positive attitude toward lifeA person with a high AQ has a positive outlook on life. They will see the half-full glass instead of the half-empty one. ____20____.The concept of AQ is becoming increasingly relevant as the world goes through tough times. People with high AQs are an asset to any organization.A.Sensitivity to changesB.Adaptability to changesC.However, a person with high AQ will stay no matter whatD.Without high AQ, anxiety and depression are usually not far behindE.They will see even criticism in a positive and constructive spiritF.AQ is the capacity to bounce back after you have been pushed downG.The ability to regulate one’s emotions is important when faced with adversity三、完形填空Dee Featherstone from Peterborough describes herself as someone who didn’t enjoy the festive season, but after having her son Alfie, that changed.“I____21____actually liked Christmas before having my son—I was definitely more of a scrooge (吝啬鬼,守财奴). But something changes when you have children, and you see just how magical it really is. Alfie was two last Christmas, and he wasreally____22____about the lights and was beginning to understand the____23____of Christmas.

But Shanya Gill,a middle schooler from San Jose,California,won the top award in the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge for designing a fire detection system that is superior to existing ones,as stated in the press release.“The top winners have exhibited boundless curiosity,”Maya Ajmera president and CEO of Society for Science,said in the press release.“Their remarkable research not only reflects their talent but also paves the way for an exciting new future.”Shanya’s inspiration came after a fire destroyed a restaurant in her neighborhood during the summer of2022,reported The Washington Post.“I had never really experienced something like that before,”she told The Washington Post about the early morning fire at Holder’s Country Inn, which started in the kitchen.“They had smoke detectors.and yet it still burned down,”she added.After she studied fire statistics,Shaya spent over a year developing a fire detection system that she believes could have prevented the fire.Unlike traditional smoke detectors that sense active fires from the smoke in the air,Shanya’s thermal(热的)imaging device is designed to stop fires from occurring.With a thermal camera and a Raspberry Pi,a tiny computer the device detects when a heat source has been left unattended for ten minutes and sends a text message warning.Creating the prototype(原型)was difficult and the hardest part was the programming,“I had two designs,and my first design completely failed.It was a really big challenge I had to go through.”she said.The final device outperforms smoke detectors in speed and accuracy.Shanya wants to bring the costs down to make it even more common than hardwired smoke detectors.“Shanya saw a problem,went after it and tried to solve it,and that’s what we need toencourage with all young people,”said Ajmera.She also highlighted the significance of supporting individuals,especially girls and kids of color,in STEM fields,as research indicates that many young people drop out of these areas.4.What can we learn about Shanya from the first two paragraphs?A.She gained a lot of money in the award.B.She showed a curious nature as a schooler.C.She set a big stage for young people her age.D.She was junior to other winners in performance.5.What motivated Shanya to develop her fire detection system?A.Her desire to win the science award.B.Her experience of a destructive fire.C.Her interest in computer programming.D.Her goal to improve STEM education for girls.6.What is an advantage of Shanya’s invention?A.It consists of two parts that are easier to conduct.B.It can send out a warning against a potential fire.C.It can detect active fires from the smoke in the air.D.It functions when a fire breaks out within10minutes.7.Which of the following can best describe Shanya?A.Reliable.B.Cooperative.C.Innovative.D.Generous.Scientists have shown how plants can protect themselves against genetic(基因的)damage caused by environmental stresses.The growing tips of plant roots and shoots have an in-built mechanism(机制)that spells cell death if DNA damage is detected,avoiding passing on faulty DNA.Plants have small populations of stem cells(干细胞)at the tips of their roots and shoots, which enable them to continuously grow and produce new tissues throughout their lifetime.These stem cells serve as ancestors for plant tissues and organs.However,any genetic faults present in the stem cells will continue to exist and be passed on permanently throughout the plant’s life, which could last thousands of years.Given the critical role of stem cells and their exposure to potentially dangerous environments at the growing tips of roots and shoots,safeguards are necessary to prevent stem cell faults frombecoming fixed.Researchers Nick Fulcher and Robert Sablowski,funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council,aimed to uncover these protective mechanisms. Through experiments involving X-rays and chemicals,they discovered that stem cells were more sensitive to DNA damage compared to other cells.When DNA damage occurs,the cells have the capacity to detect it and cause programmed cells to die,preventing the propagation of the damaged genetic code to the rest of the plant tissues. This process has similarities to the safeguard mechanism found in animal cells,which has been broadly studied due to its relevance in preventing cancer.The identification of a similar protective system in plants is of great interest in the field of plant development.It also helps scientists develop plants that can better handle environmental stress.So knowledge of how plants deal with these stresses is of fundamental significance to agricultural science’s response to climate change.8.What is the function of the in-built mechanism in plants?A.To produce more roots and shoots.B.To increase the overall lifetime of the plant.C.To enhance plant growth and nutrient intake.D.To stop genetic faults in stem cells passing on.9.What can we know about stem cells in plants according to the text?A.They are relatively abundant in quantity.B.They are resistant to environmental stresses.C.They make quick response to DNA damage.D.They have the ability to repair damaged DNA.10.What does the underlined word“propagation”in paragraph4mean?A.Spread.B.Change.C.Existence.D.Self-repair. 11.What does the last paragraph focus on?A.The way of dealing with climate change on the earth.B.The significance of identifying the protective system in plants.C.The method of ensuring plant survival under environmental stress.D.The urgency of developing plants that can handle environmental stress.Recently,I accidentally found a set of Hanfu l only wore once from the bottom of the cupboard.I remember buying them simply to match the ancient-style hair accessories(配饰)afriend gave me.It occurred to me that1had been trapped in the“birdcage effect”.“Birdcage effect”means that when you get an item one day,you will prepare more things to match it.Weeks ago,I was in the company of friends engaged in shopping.One said that she wanted to buy a good writing pen to match the delicate notebook that her sister gave her,so that she would fall in love with taking notes on reading,and thus love reading,not just reading.I joked that she must have fallen for the“birdcage effect”.But the friend said with a smile:“Why not use the‘birdcage effect’instead?”For the first time,I heard that the“birdcage effect”can be used in reverse(逆向).However, this can’t help but remind me of middle school,and I seem to have used the“birdcage effect”. Passing by a bookstore one day,I purchased a magazine and saw the call for contributions published in the magazine,so I started writing with eager hands,and then I fell in love with writing.After shopping with my friends that time,I began to proceed to use the“birdcage effect”.I bought a small fresh tablecloth to decorate my desk,and a beautiful notebook to record my inspiration.When everything was ready,I started writing again.But how can we get rid of the“birdcage effect”in many things,and even use the“birdcage effect”in the opposite way?Various“birdcages”unavoidably appear in life,but we can distinguish them.If it is not in line with the actual situation,it is a“negative birdcage”,then we must learn to stop losses in time and maintain a heart of abandonment and separation.If it is a “positive birdcage”that motivates us to develop upward,we can clarify our goals,shop or decorate appropriately,and motivate ourselves to move towards our goals.At this time,you will find that the“birdcage effect”is actually not so terrible!12.What is paragraph2mainly about?A.The application of the“birdcage effect”in life.B.The necessity of using the“birdcage effect”in life.C.The turning point of the author’s idea on the“birdcage effect”.D.The author’s conflict with her friend over the“birdcage effect”.13.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning her middle school experience?A.To recall her delightful days at school.B.To explain the reason for her love with writing.C.To confirm the positive of the“birdcage effect”.D.To prove her knowledge of the“birdcage effect”.14.How can we make use of the“birdcage effect”positively?A.By realizing this effect has two sides.B.By promoting our personal consumption.C.By recognizing this effect is not so terrible.D.By guiding our acts to go with reasonable goals.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Getting Rid of the Birdcage Effect ConfidentlyB.Motivating Ourselves to Move Towards Our GoalsC.The Birdcage Effect:Influence on Consumer BehaviorD.The Birdcage Effect:How to Use It to Your AdvantagePursue Your Dreams Today,Not TomorrowHave you caught yourself daydreaming about your dreams?We often postpone our dreams, trapped in a cycle of delay.But why wait?16You don’t have to take a huge, life-changing step.You can take minute steps toward a brighter future.And start right now.17If you never try,you’re going to be weighed down by your regrets.You’re always going to wonder how your life would’ve turned out if you actually took a chance on yourself.Don’t let your future self be disappointed by your present self.It doesn’t matter how old you are or how many people have warned you that you’re never going to succeed.Even the most successful people have had their hesitations about whether they had what it took to make it in their field.18Embrace a mindset of determination, knowing that success is within your reach.At the end of the day,you need to carve out a path for yourself that will lead to the most satisfaction.If you allow your fear to get the best of you,you’re never going to forgive yourself.19.It’s what you would encourage your friends to do,so why aren’t you giving yourself that same push?Sometimes,following your passion means spending a lot of your time each day.It may require making slight adjustments to your schedule,but you don’t have to sacrifice everything tofollow your hearts.Try to strike a balance between your current life and your dreams.20 Pursue your dreams now,even though that means you might need to break out of your comfort zone,and even though it means entering the unknown.A.Ask yourself what would be worse.B.Starting small is completely acceptable.C.You owe it to yourself to go after your dreams.D.New opportunities may lead to personal growth.E.If things go well,you can gradually make further shifts.F.You need to move past your insecurities and explore your full potential.G.Hard as it is,it’s crucial to wave off the doubts in the back of your mind.二、完形填空In2008,Calvin Lowe's four-year-old son Tyler needed to have a serious surgery.On the appointed day of the21,he and his wife brought Tyler to Children’s Hospital Colorado in
