河北省衡水市枣强县衡水董子高级中学2023-2024学年高三下学期3月月考英语试题

河北省衡水市枣强县衡水董子高级中学2023-2024学年高三下学期3月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解There are very few countries in the world that don’t have some sort of legend (传说) or connect ion with dragons. Here are some great destinations to get a fi x on dragon.FranceCalais in France has a dragon standing 33 feet tall, 82 feet long, with a wingspan of more than 55 feet. It walks and moves as you would imagine a dragon does, and you can take it for a ride. The Calais dragon is a mechanical wonder, which is nearly too real to be called a fairground creature.WalesIn the UK, you will find a proud dragon country, Wales. Here there is the legend of two dragons: one white and one red. Wales’ tale describes the two dragons fighting and the red one winning, so you will find it difficult to hurry about the country without coming across a red dragon. Dragons are sold in souvenir shops, sit by ancient castles, hang around in King Arthur’s Labyrinth, and are featured on the national flag.NorwayThe Vikings knew a thing or two about dragons. In the lovely film How to Train Your Dragon, they even flew them. But seriously, when you dig into Norway’s Viking history and legends, you will find dragons mentioned everywhere, though not as cute as those in the film. From the figurehead in the Viking Ship Museum to jewelry, and decorations on buildings, be on the lookout for them when visiting Norway.BhutanThe Druk or Thunder Dragon, is the national symbol and appears everywhere. The country is called Land of the Thunder Dragon, or Kingdom of Druk, and it’s part of the national anthem (国歌) and its flag. Despite its fearful name, it’s actually rather cute. The legend has it that the sound of thunder through the mountain s is actually the dragon roaring. 1.What can we learn about the Calais dragon?A.It’s a character from a popular film.B.It’s a creation designed for entertainment.C.It’s a real creature trained for rides.D.It’s a sculpture displayed in a museum.2.What do Wales and Bhutan have in common on dragons?A.They feature dragons on their flags.B.They include dragons in their anthems.C.They have a legend of two dragons.D.They describe dragons as cute images. 3.Which country associates dragons with a natural phenomenon?A.France.B.Wales.C.Norway.D.Bhutan.We can create learning moments that students remember forever if we open up our classrooms to awe and wonder.Toward the end of my high school year, our Spanish teacher organized a trip to see an Andean band perform in Philadelphia. My classmates and I egged one another on ironically (讽刺地): Who could enjoy the show? The performers’ clothing seemed odd. The instruments, strange. But then the performers kicked in, dancing to their bombo and wancara drums around the stage and the panpipes and quena announced a kind of sound—new to us.We had spent too little time discussing the culture of the Inca in social studies but its traditions came alive for us that evening. Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music, my teenage cynicism disappeared. I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy.I have spent the last seven years living and working in South America. But my thirst for cultural exploration and a desire to understand the world outside my language and country has been alive longer than that. Sometimes I think that night dancing to those ancient rhythms unlocked this fascination. Why do I remember it so clearly decades later?In his recent book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, psychology professor Dacher Keltner explains that “brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do.” Besides being a memorable emotion, awe boosts curiosity, builds humility, helps with critical thinking, and makes people feel more connected. It even makes us happier. “Twenty years into teaching happiness,” Keltner writes about how to find deep happiness, “I have an answer: FIND AWE.”Moving forward, let’s do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum (课程). So when our former students approach us on the subway years later, they will recall the magical moments from their days spent in our classes.4.How did the students initially react to the Andean band’s performance?A.They showed respect for it.B.They approached it with doubt.C.They left in disappointment.D.They felt joyful to appreciate it. 5.What does the underlined word “cynicism” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.A deep understanding of music.B.A strong enthusiasm for exploration.C.A negative attitude to the world.D.A sense of connection with society. 6.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A.The importance of finding happiness in life.B.The lasting impact of a memorable experience.C.The benefits of understanding different cultures.D.The positive role of awe in improving one’s life.7.Who is the text intended for?A.Teachers.B.High school graduates.C.Parents.D.Psychology researchers.Concrete has served as the foundation stone of the construction industry for hundreds of years. However, the process of producing concrete is one of the most environmentally unfriendly processes in the world. In the process, not only is carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) released into the air by the energy used to heat the limestone, but the limestone itself also gives out a huge amount of the element.Luckily, a number of start-ups throughout the world are using creative thinking to make the construction industry a whole lot more friendly for the planet.A Canadian company called CarbonCure, has found a way to inject (注入) concrete with carbon dioxide itself. Not only does this trap the carbon dioxide into the concrete, keeping it from running away into the atmosphere, but it also creates a super strong material called calcium carbonate, which reduces the total amount of concrete that needs to be used.California-based Brimstone, is creating carbon-negative concrete by doing away with limestone entirely and instead using silicate rock, a material that does not release carbon dioxide when heated. Instead, the process produces magnesium (镁) , which absorbs carbon dioxide, as the basis for their concrete.Additionally, researchers at Australia’s RMIT University have recently released a study showing that adding coffee grounds instead of sand to concrete could make it much stronger, reducing both the amount of sand used, as well as the amount of concrete that would need to be used in the final product.The biggest barrier at this point is convincing members of the industry that the new types of concrete are safe to be used, according to Stacy Smedley, director at a nonprofit focused on decarbonizing construction.Hopefully these new solutions to the environmental problems of concrete will soon be widely adopted. Given the significant part the construction industry has in releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, great improvements can be made when more environmentally-friendly materials are used.8.What is the environmental issue associated with traditional concrete production?A.The high demand for energy.B.The processing of waste materials.C.The mass release of carbon dioxide.D.The use of non-renewable resources. 9.How does CarbonCure deal with the environmental impact of concrete production?A.By using silicate rock as the basis.B.By putting carbon dioxide into concrete.C.By replacing sand with coffee grounds.D.By absorbing carbon dioxide withmagnesium.10.According to Smedley, what is the major challenge facing these solutions?A.Difficulty in making profits.B.Convincing the public of theconvenience.C.Lack of funding for research.D.Removing the industry members’ safety concerns.11.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To promote an alternative to concrete.B.To advocate environmental protection.C.To introduce new ways to produce concrete.D.To emphasize the significance of creativity.Writing out the same word again and again may bring back bad memories for some, but handwriting can boost connectivity across brain regions, some of which are involved in learning and memory, a new study shows.In the study, psychologists Audrey and Ruud, both at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, stuck electrodes (电极) on the participants’ heads. They asked the participants to type out or hand write with a digital pen words that appeared on a computer screen. Sensors in a cap recorded electrical brain activity. Then the psychologists looked for when two brain areas are active with the same frequency of electrical waves at the same time.This result can reveal the connectivity among different regions across the brain.With handwriting, the researchers saw increased activity, specifically in low frequency bands, not only in the expected motor areas but also in others associated with learning. These low frequency bands have previously been shown to support memory processes. When the team compared the two tasks, they realized that handwriting —but not typing —increased the connectivity across parietal (顶叶) brain regions, which are involved in sensory and motor processing, and central regions, many of which are involved in memory.“Even when the movements are very similar, the activation seems much, much higher in handwriting,” Audrey says. “It shows that there’s more involvement of these brain regions when you’re handwriting, which might give you some specific advantages.”These findings suggest that there are distinct processes of brain activation happening while a person types or writes. This boost of stimulation of handwriting facilitates learning because these particular waves between these areas are involved in memory formation and encoding (编码) .And although handwriting may help with learning processes, typing is often easier, faster and more practical. “Students and teachers alike should therefore consider the task at hand to decide to hand write or type,” Audrey says. Despite the need for more studies to determine the best learning strategy, experts say that handwriting shouldn’t be left behind in the digital age. “Schools need to bring in more writing into curriculum design,” Ruud says.12.What did Audrey and Ruud mainly do in their research?A.They tested the function of electrodes.B.They analyzed the brain structure.C.They monitored the brain activities.D.They recorded the writing speed. 13.Why can handwriting improve learning more than typing?A.It involves more specific brain activation.B.It promotes better muscle memory.C.It allows for more innovative thinking.D.It encourages better concentration. 14.What’s the author’s attitude toward typing?A.Favorable.B.Objective.C.Doubtful.D.Unclear. 15.What might be the best title for the text?A.Taking Notes by Hand is Becoming Uncommon in ClassB.Using Keyboard is Recommended Due to Its ConvenienceC.Widespread Brain Connectivity is Crucial to Human LearningD.Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More Than Typing DoesWhile technology addicts teens to their devices, they are not helpless against the draw of it. Here are five ways educators can support their students’ digital well-being.Explore design tricks companies use. The technology we use daily is designed to catch and hold our attention. Companies know what keeps our eyes on the screen. To help, teachers can unpack design tricks and explain how companies employ features like auto-play to get users to stay on their apps. 16Talk about how technology can increase feelings of anxiety. The decline in youth mental health is associated with an increase in social media use. 17 We can help our students by allowing them to consider the benefits of technology and then to think about changing the habits that aren’t serving their well-being.18 Social media can bring the feeling: “All my friends have better lives than me.” Plus, design features like “read receipts” can lead to teens knowing their messages have been seen and stressing about why friends haven’t yet replied. These are classic examples of thinking traps. Identifying them can help teens get rid of some negative thoughts.Uncover the ways that AI can play a role in misinformation. AI is rapidly transforming the world. Recommendation algorithms (算法), which determine what we do and do not see on our feeds and in our search results, can have very real consequences. 19 By understanding how these technologies work, students can start to enjoy more benefits of technology.Encourage families to have meaningful conversations with their child. Take the time to share with families the topics and resources you’re teaching in class. 20 Knowing we’re all in the same boat is crucial.A.Social media is ruining our life.B.Connect them with their inner world.C.Build their awareness of thinking traps.D.This by no means indicates all technology is bad.E.They can pull us toward increasingly extreme views.F.It turns out adults and kids all pursue digital well-being.G.Knowing these can motivate students to get back their attention.二、完形填空This wasn’t the way I wanted to see Rome.

湖南省湖南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第三次月考英语试题

湖南省湖南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第三次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Cannes(戛纳)is a place that offers lots of different ways to spoil yourself. During the Cannes Film Festival in May, nothing changes, except that there are more people doing this, and that they talk about film. Here’s a guide to what you should do during the festival, both film-related and not.Hotel Intercontinental CarltonThe film festival is a busy time for Cannes. The best way to appreciate the crowds might be having a dinner on a terrace(露天平台). Head to the Hotel Intercontinental Carlton and wander the lobby to take it all in. If you’re lucky you might be able to secure a table in the restaurant. Dress to impress or you won’t stand a chance of getting in.Cinema de la PlageThroughout the Cannes Film Festival, one of the best places to soak up some of the wonderful atmosphere is the open-air Cinema de la Plage at Mace beach. If you haven’t secured a ticket in advance for a seat, there’s no need to worry. You can spread a blanket out on the ground, open up your pre-prepared picnic, and enjoy the movie.Marché ForvilleThe Marché Forville is a must-see for any visitor to Cannes and a foodie’.s delight. On most days, vendors sell home-made fruits and vegetables as well as local specialties to eat for lunch. But don’t go on Mondays, unless you want to browse for bargains, as that’s when the flea market is on instead.La CroisetteLa Croisette is the most famous walk in Cannes and is listed under the cultural inventory of France itself. Stroll the whole length, stop for a coffee, and end your walk by sitting on one of the free blue chairs along the way while taking in the view. It is also a great place to admire Cannes’ sculptures.1.What is probably the intention of the text?A.To introduce French culture.B.To present dining locations.C.To publicize a film festival.D.To suggest tourism activities.2.Which place best suits people who enjoy shopping?A.Hotel Intercontinental Carlton.B.Cinema de la Plage.C.Marché Forville.D.La Croisette.3.What can be expected in Cannes during the festival?A.Attending fashion shows.B.Watching movies outdoors.C.Tasting imported farm produce.D.Experiencing sculpture production.Coming into the freshman year at Paul College, Sansa was concerned about her ability as an individual to make an impact on such a large community, for it was never hard for her to stand out from peers in high school. Luckily, each first-year student in Paul College takes part in what is called the First-year Innovation and Research Experience, commonly referred to as the FIRE Program, an extracurricular project assigned by the institution. She was able to forge invaluable connections with her fellow students and their peer advisor who had so much first-hand experience with what they all were going through.The biggest highlight of her freshman year was working alongside her FIRE team on a Grand Challenge Project, in which every FIRE team competed against one another in the Undergraduate Research Conference. Each team had to create a unique product that tackled one of the five following real-world problems: “Water is Life”, “Food”, “Threats from Cyberspace”, “Medical Breakthroughs”, and “Addictive Society”. Her team addressed the growing issue of “Addictive Society”. Doing research, collecting facts and organizing discussions or even debates were a huge amount of work before they went to vie with other teams.After weeks of tireless preparation, their collective efforts bore fruit at the Undergraduate Research Conference. They earned a spot in the final round of the conference, where they competed against the top team from each of the other Grand Challenge groups. They were so overcome with pride when they were finally announced as the overall first-place team at the college!If it hadn’t been for her group’s determination, excellent teamwork and their awesome peer advisor Hayley, they would not have been able to accomplish everything they did. This experience would be instrumental in her future.4.What do we know about Sansa from paragraph 1?A.She performed quite well in high school.B.She was much more experienced than her college schoolmates.C.She applied for the FIRE Program.D.She had trouble with her freshman year.5.How did each team compete against one another?A.By providing facts.B.By creating products.C.By organizing debates.D.By challenging each other.6.What does the underlined phrase “vie with” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Contest against.B.Give way to.C.Break up with.D.Make up with.7.What is probably Sansa’s biggest gain from the FIRE Program?A.Financial benefits.B.Academic reputation.C.Good relationships.D.Competitive opponents.When Jason Allen submitted his “Th éâtre D’.opéra Spatial” into the Colorado StateFair’s fine arts competition, the print was an immediate hit, defeating 20 other artists in the “digitally manipulated photography” category to win the first-place blue ribbon and a $ 300 prize.Allen’s piece offers a clear example of how rapidly AI-generated art has advanced. Trained on billions of internet images, the systems have decisively pushed the boundaries of what computers can create.But it has also sparked a massive debate over the meaning of art, with Allen facing accusations that he had been deceiving with something he asked a machine to create.Text-to-image tools like DALL-E 2 and Midjourney have quickly increased in sophistication and have become one of the hottest topics in AI. They can generate not just fake people, objects and locations but mimic entire visual styles.But AI-generated art has been criticized as automated plagiarism (剽窃), because it relies on millions of ingested art pieces that are then parroted (机械地重复) together. It has also fueled deeper fears: blurring the boundaries of reality or interfering with human art.Allen said his art piece shows people need to “get past their denial and fear” of a technology that could give rise to new inventions and reshape our world. “The AI,” he said,“is a tool, just like the paintbrush is a tool. Without the person, there is no creative force.”Jessica Hair, a 25-year-old receptionist at a doctor’s office who won third place in the competition, said she did not feel as if Allen had acted unfairly and had no hard feelings about his win.Hair said her “Judge, Jury, Executioner”, which depicts a tuxedoed skeleton on a golden throne surrounded by skulls, took 15 hours to create with a stylus (触屏笔) on an iPad Pro. But Allen’s piece took time, effort and subjective judgment, too, and “how do we qualify what is and isn’t art?” she said.8.Which of the following statements can be inferred from the text?A.It is the first time in history that an AI-generated work has won an arts competition.B.Advances made in computer art are not as rapid as the public believes them to be.C.Computer-produced works have more success in some art forms than in others.D.People’s acceptance of computer-produced art pieces can vary considerably. 9.According to the text, why is AI-generated art facing severe criticism?A.Because it will ultimately overtake human art in the future.B.Because it will lead to a sharp decrease in human creativity.C.Because it purely uses existing art pieces as its subject matter.D.Because the technical standard of its output is extremely low.10.What was Allen’s reaction to people’s criticism?A.He fought back like a soldier.B.He kept silent like a victim.C.He persuaded like a promoter.D.He lost heart like a failure.11.What is Jessica Hair’s attitude towards Allen’s award-winning piece?A.Supportive.B.Critical.C.Cautious.D.Skeptical.The streets, sidewalks and roofs of cities all absorb heat during the day, making some urban areas across the United States up to 6 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than rural ones during the day—and 22 degrees F hotter at night. These “urban heat islands”can also develop underground as the city heat spreads downward, beneath the surface. And basements, subway tunnels and other underground infrastructure also constantly bleed heat into the surrounding earth, creating hotspots. Now the underground heat is building up as the planet warms.According to a new study of downtown Chicago, underground hotspots may threaten the very same structures that emit the heat in the first place. Such temperature changes make the ground around them expand and contract (收缩) enough to cause potential damage. “Without anyone realizing it, the city of Chicago’s downtown was deforming,” says the study’s author Alessandro F. Rotta Loria, a civil and environmental engineer at Northwestern University.The findings, published in Communications Engineering, expose a “silent hazard (危险)” to civil infrastructure in cities with soft er ground — especially those near water — Rotta Loria says. “There might have been structural issues caused by this underground climate change that happened, and we didn’t even realize,” he adds. While not an immediate or direct danger to human lives, this previously unknown effect highlights the impacts of a lesser-known component of climate change.Similar to climate change above the surface, these underground changes occur over long periods of time. “These effects took decades, a century, to develop,” Rotta Loria says, adding that elevated underground temperatures would likewise take a long time to dissipate (逐渐消失) on their own.But other researchers interviewed for this story all say this wasted energy could also be recycled, presenting an opportunity to both cool the subsurface and save on energy costs. Subway tunnels and basements could be updated with technologies to recapture the heat. For example, water pipes could be installed to run through underground hotspots and pick up some of the heat energy.12.What can we learn about the “urban heat islands”?A.They can develop underground structures.B.They are impacted by global warming.C.They can destroy the ground around.D.They only exist in the United States.13.Why does Alessandro F. Rotta Loria mention “silent hazard” in paragraph 3?A.To discuss structural issues.B.To categorize climate change.C.To explain underground heat.D.To emphasize the neglected reality.14.What will the author probably write about in the paragraph that follows?A.The future of tunnels and basements.B.The reusing approaches of heat energy.C.The cost of maintaining structures.D.The evolution of underground environment.15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Warming Underground, Weakening SurfaceB.A Silver Lining of Global WarmingC.Urban Silent Islands in the MakingD.A Silent Crisis in Downtown Chicago二、七选五Including children in the farming lifestyle has many benefits. Sure, it is nice to have the additional help with chores, but it also fosters so much growth, sending our kids down a good path towards who they will someday become. It is possible that our children will grow up to lead lives that do not include farming. 16Through caring for farm animals, kids learn that in life others often come before self.17 It doesn’t matter if we don’t feel like it or if we are sick and tired. What matters is that we take care of the animals that take care of us and do so in a timely manner.18 If the work on a farm does not get done, the operation fails. It takes discipline and commitment to get down to business every day, and seeing this in action will give kids a good work attitude. They will know and understand that nothing good comes easy and that they have to work to survive. 19 Functioning as part of a productive team will surely be playing a crucial role sooner or later in all walks of life.Additionally, farming teaches patience. 20 It’s especially true for the animals. Cattle will be difficult to control. Horses will run away when you try to catch them. Goats will kick over that bucket of hard-earned milk. A rooster will decide you got too close to his hens and give you a run for your money. In spite of all that, kids will learn to be patient and take things easy.There may not be any instant reward, but in the long-term kids will see the benefit of all their efforts during those hard days.A.Fairly often, things do not go your way.B.Kids also learn to be grateful to animals.C.In the meantime, they learn to work with others.D.Teamwork is no longer a significant skill to develop and use.E.Animals need to be fed and cared for before we get to sit down and relax.F.Kids are also able to comprehend the value of hard work through farm life.G.What they learn on a farm, however, can be instrumental in their future lives.三、完形填空27.A.could B.should C.would D.might 28.A.also B.again C.only D.instead 29.A.responded B.claimed C.updated D.expressed 30.A.odd B.general C.novel D.complicated 31.A.closed B.black C.plain D.blank 32.A.lesson B.blame C.curse D.ban 33.A.open B.click C.use D.function 34.A.refreshing B.crashing C.connecting D.running 35.A.advocate B.tolerate C.appreciate D.understand四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources (资源), we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent (阻⽌) waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.1.From the passage we know that some students often __ in the school.A eat too muchB don’t work hardC waste thingsD throw rubbish everywhere2.Which is not mentioned in this passage?A Fresh waterB ForestC OilD Coal3.What may happen in 100 years?A We may still have enough oilB We may still have enough coalC We may have a little coalD We may have no coal or oil to use4 Which of the following is right?A Waste brings problems.B Waste can bring no problemC China is rich in fresh water.D Students never waste thins5 Which is the best title of this passage?A Stop WastingB School lifeC Waste in the schoolD Rich Resources in ChinaBDick was a college student.He was studying history.But at the end of the first school year he did not pass the exam.A month later he sat for the make-up exam,but he was down again.Dick was very afraid because he knew he might have to leave the college.When Dick's father knew this,he went to see the professor(教授).“Dick is a good boy,” said the father.“If you let him pass it this time,I'm sure he will study harder next year and pass all the exams with very good marks.”“No,that's quite impossible,” answered the professor.“He almos t knows nothing about history.Last month I asked him when Napoleon(拿破仑)died,and he said he didn't know.”“Please,sir,give him another chance,” said the father.“Sometimes we were too busy to read the evening papers carefully,so we even don’t know Mr. Napole on was ill.”6.Dick has been in college for ______.A four yearsB only one yearC less than six monthsD more than two years7“ Sat for the make –up exam” in the passage means” ____A. 不及格 B 期末考试 C 参加补考D下决⼼8.

上海市实验学校2023-2024学年高三下学期3月月考英语试卷一、语法填空Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.OpenAI publishes Elon Musk’s emails. ‘We’re sad that it’s come to this’OpenAI fired back at Elon Musk, who sued the ChatGPT company last week for chasing profit and 1 (diverge) from its original, nonprofit mission. Tuesday night, OpenAI published several of Musk’s emails from the early days of the company that appear to show Musk acknowledging OpenAI needed to make a ton of money to fund the incredible computing resources needed to power 2 AI ambitions.In the emails, parts of 3 have been redacted (修订), Musk argues that the company stood virtually no chance of building a successful generative AI platform by raising cash alone, and the company needed to find alternate sources of revenue to survive.In a November 22, 2015, email to CEO Sam Altman, Musk, an OpenAI co-founder, said the company needed to raise much more than $100 million to “avoid sounding hopeless.” Musk suggested a $1 billion funding commitment and promised that he would cover 4 did not get raised.OpenAI in a blog post Tuesday night said Musk never followed through on his promise, 5 (commit) $45 million in funding for OpenAI, 6 other donors raised $90 million. Lawyers for Musk declined to comment on OpenAI’s claims.Musk, in a February 1, 2018, email, told company executives that the only path forward for OpenAI was for Tesla, his electric car company, to buy it. The company refused, and Musk left OpenAI later that year.In December 2018, Musk emailed Altman and other executives that OpenAI would not be relevant “ 7 a dramatic change in execution and resources.”“This needs billions per year immediately or forget it,” Musk emailed. “I really hope I’m wrong.”OpenAI executives agreed. In 2019, they formed OpenAI LP, a for-profit entity that exists within the larger company’s structure. That for-profit company took OpenAI from effectively worthless to a valuation of $90 billion in just a few years — and Altman 8 (credit) as the mastermind of that plan and the key to the company’s success.Microsoft has since committed $13 billion in a close partnership with OpenAI.Musk’s complaint, 9 (file) last week in California state court, said that company and its partnership with Microsoft violated OpenAI’s founding charter, representing a breach of contract. Musk is asking for a jury trial and for the company 10 (pay) back the profit they received from the business.二、选词填空Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A man deliberately got 217 Covid shots. Here’s what happenedOne German man has redefined “man on a mission.” A 62-year-old from Magdeburg deliberately got 217 Covid-19 vaccine shots in the 11 of 29 months, according to a new study, going against national vaccine recommendations. That’s an average of one jab every four days. In the process, he became a(n) 12 experiment for what happens to the immune system when it is vaccinated against the same pathogen (病原体) repeatedly. A correspondence published Monday in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases 13 his case and concluded that while his “hypervaccination” did not result in any adverse health effects, it also did not significantly improve or worsen his immune response.The man, who is not named in the correspondence in compliance with German privacy rules, reported receiving 217 Covid shots between June 2021 and November 2023. Of those, 134 were 14 by a prosecutor and through vaccination center documentation; the remaining 83 were self-reported, according to the study.“This is a really unusual case of someone receiving that many Covid vaccines, 15 not following any type of guidelines,” said Dr. Emily Happy Miller, an assistant professor of medicine and of microbiology and immunology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine who did not participate in the research.The man did not report any vaccine-related side effects and has not had a Covid infection to date, as 16 by repeated antigen (抗原) and PCR testing between May 2022 and November 2023. The researchers 17 that it’s not clear that his Covid status is directly because of his hypervaccination regimen.“Perhaps he didn’t get Covid because he was 18 in the first three doses of the vaccine,” Miller said. “We also don’t know anything about his behaviors.” Dr. Kilian Schober, senior author of the new study and a researcher at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg, said it is important to remember that this is an individual case study, and the results are not 19 .The researchers also say they do not endorse hypervaccination as a strategy to enhance immunity. “The benefit is not much bigger if you get vaccinated three times or 200 times,” Schober said.The public prosecutor in Magdeburg opened an investigation into the man for the unauthorized issuing of vaccination cards and forgery of documents but did not end up filing criminal 20 , according to the study.三、完形填空A Neurologist’s Tips to Protect Your MemoryAs we age, our memory declines. This is a fixed 21 for many of us; however, according to neuroscientist Dr. Richard Restak, a neurologist and clinical professor, decline is not 22 .Ultimately, “we are what we can remember,” he said. Here are some of Dr. Restak’s tips for developing and 23 a healthy memory.Pay more attention.Some memory lapses are actually attention problems, not memory problems. 24 , if you’ve forgotten the name of someone you met at a cocktail party, it could be because you weretalking with several people at the time.One way to pay attention when you learn new information is to 25 the word. Having a picture associated with the word, Restak said, can improve 26 . Find regular everyday memory challenges.There are many memory exercises that you can 27 into everyday life. Dr. Restak suggested composing a grocery list and memorizing it. When you get to the store, don’t 28 pull out your list (or your phone) — instead, pick up everything according to your memory.Once in a while, get in the car without turning on your GPS, and try to 29 through the streets from memory. A small 2020 study suggested that people who used GPS more frequently over time showed a steeper cognitive 30 in spatial memory three years later.Play games.Dr. Restak’s “favorite working memory game” is 20 Questions — in which a group thinks of a person, place or object, and the other person, the questioner, asks 20 questions with a yes-or-no answer. Because to succeed, he said, the questioner must hold all of the 31 answers in memory in order to guess the correct answer.The point is to 32 your working memory, “maintaining information and moving it around in your mind,” Restak wrote.Read more novels.One early indicator of memory issues, according to Dr. Restak, is 33 fiction. “People, when they begin to have memory difficulties, tend to switch to reading nonfiction,” he said. Fiction requires active engagement with the text, starting at the beginning and working through to the end. 34 technology.Storing everything on your phone means that “you don’t know it,” Dr. Restak said, which can 35 our own mental abilities. The second way our relationship with technology is harmful to memory is because it often takes our focus away from the task at hand. 21.A.accomplishment B.assumption C.regulationD.observation22.A.inevitable B.dispensable C.reverse D.doubtful 23.A.striking B.enduring C.arousing D.maintaining 24.A.Nevertheless B.Moreover C.For instance D.Instead 25.A.demonstrate B.trace C.discover D.visualize26.A.recall B.sight C.target D.instinct 27.A.enclose B.integrate C.evolve D.impose 28.A.steadily B.actively C.gradually D.automatically 29.A.adjust B.rush C.gesture D.navigate 30.A.performance B.decline C.awareness D.increase 31.A.modest B.original C.previous D.personal 32.A.engage B.drain C.insert D.fulfill 33.A.devoting to B.concentrating on C.giving in to D.giving up on 34.A.Beware of B.Stick to C.Long for D.Differ from 35.A.counter B.stock C.erode D.strengthen四、阅读理解The last few months had brought to my attention an important incompatibility between us — one that I’d never noticed before. Despite being a pair of lifelong travelers, Felipe and I seldom travel in a similar way. The reality about Felipe is that he’s both the best traveler I’ve ever met and by far the worst. He hates strange bathrooms and dirty restaurants and uncomfortable trains and foreign beds. Given a choice, he will always select a lifestyle of routine, familiarity, and reassuringly boring everyday practices. All of which might make you assume that the man is not fit to be a traveler at all. But you would be wrong to assume that, for here is Felipe’s traveling gift, his superpower, the secret weapon that makes him peerless. He can create a familiar habitat of boring everyday practices for himself anyplace, if you just let him stay in one spot. He can assimilate absolutely anywhere on the planet in about three days, and then he’s capable of staying put in that place for the next decade or so without complaint. This is why Felipe has been able to live all over the world. Not merely travel, but live. Over the year he has folded himself into societies from South America to Europe, from the Middle East to the South Pacific. He arrives somewhere totally new, decides he likes the place, moves right in, learns the language, and instantly becomes a local.While Felipe can find a corner anywhere in the world and settle down for good, I can’t. I am infinitely curious and almost infinitely patient with minor disasters, which makes me a farbetter day-to-day traveler than he will ever be. So I can go anywhere on the planet—that’s not a problem. The problem is I just can’t live anywhere on the planet. I’d realized this only a few weeks earlier, back in northern Laos, when Felipe had woken up one lovely morning in Luang Prabang and said, “Darling, let’s stay here.”“Sure,” I’d said. “We can stay here for a few more days if you want.”“No, I mean let’s move here. Let’s forget about me immigrating to America. It’s too much trouble. This is a wonderful town. I like the feeling of it. It reminds me of Brazil thirty years ago. It wouldn’t take much money or effort for us to run a little hotel or shop here, rent an apartment, settle in ….” He was serious. He would just do that. But I can’t.36.The word “incompatibility” (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to “_____”.A.harmony B.negotiation C.difference D.tension 37.According to the writer, what is Felipe’s traveling gift?A.He can speak dozens of languages.B.He can make himself at home anywhere.C.He can decide at first sight if he likes the place.D.He can find interesting activities in boring places.38.According to the writer, why is she a better traveler than Felipe?A.She is much more restless than he is.B.She can travel for a longer time than he can.C.She is more curious about local life than he is.D.She can live better in poor places than he can.39.By “I can’t” (in the last paragraph), the writer means that she can’t _____.A.remember the trip to Brazil B.move to Luang PrabangC.immigrate to America as planned D.run a little hotel or shop wellOutdoor RecreationGet outdoors with us this summer and experience the excitement and peace within our unique programs.

Come enjoy this natural underground jungle gym.40.John, a U of T teaching staff member, would like to take part in some of these programs, what problem may he encounter?A.He can’t get his fees for a Tuesday trip back if he cancels it the previous Monday.B.These outdoor adventures will exhaust him and leave him in low spirits.C.There may be no space for him because registered students enjoy priority.D.The program that explores the Warsaw Caves underground is sure to change its date.41.All of the following are activities mentioned in the passage ЕХСЕРТ___________.A.bird watching B.zip-lining C.hiking D.cave exploring 42.Which of the following statements is true according to this passage?A.Money can be refunded within five business days after the trip starts.B.Adventurers should have some basic trekking and biking skills.C.Students must bring some climbing equipment required by the programs.D.The name Warsaw Caves originated from the seven caves found in the park.For the arts “to mean more, to more people,” as Arts Council England (ACE) argues that they should, would be excellent. Music, drama, dance, visual arts, poetry and literature are among the most precious human achievements. To live in a country in which these are more widely shared and enjoyed would be proof that we are making progress. The point is not to entertain or educate people, or bring communities together. Nor is it all about boosting jobs and investment. Imagination has intrinsic (内在的) value, and research carried out by ACE in the course of preparing its 10-year strategy showed that people from all walks of life value and get pleasure from cultural activities.Positioning itself as a development agency, ACE will now hope to win government backing for a change of direction that orients it away from the biggest and most prestigious national institutions and towards the towns, villages and grassroots organizations that should be similarly deserving of attention. There, it envisions a role for itself “building the identity and prosperity of places,” bringing professional artists together with voluntary groups, particular in areas that have previously not been well represented on the cultural map.ACE’s chair, Sir Nicholas Serota, quotes the first world war centenary (百年纪念) project devised by the artist, Jeremy Deller, and theatre director, Rufus Norris, as the model of what he wants his organization to be about. By dressing up volunteers as soldiers, and orchestrating their encounters with members of the public in settings across England, the artists succeeded in “dissolving the barriers between artists and audiences.”The emphasis on participation- on culture as something that more people should actually do- is newer. This is the difference between being in a play or a band and buying tickets to watch them, and for ACE to play a more active role in promoting the former would be beneficial. Thisbegins in childhood, and ACE clearly hopes that the government will think again about policies that have seen music, drama and other arts subjects systematically downgraded in favour of science, technology and maths.To what extent the vision is realized will depend in part on whether ACE’s ambitions catch the government’s interest sufficiently to influence the upcoming spending review, and provide a counterweight to the scorn (轻视) that is regularly poured on the humanities. Around £400m has been cut from local government arts budgets since 2010, and ACE cannot plug this gap. The closure of youth clubs and live music venues, and growing financial pressures linked to the property market, are among other reasons for this worrisome narrowing of opportunities. So far Boris Johnson has offered few signs that he has in mind a starring role for the arts in post-Brexit Britain, although 2022’s Festival of Brexit is one such event. ACE’s plan should boost the profile of all those, in government and outside, who are arguing for more.43.The purpose of making arts available to more people is to __________.A.enlighten people from all walks of lifeB.consolidate various communitiesC.create job opportunities for artistsD.maximize the natural value of art44.According to the passage, ACE is most likely to promote the arts of ___________.A.national institutionsB.commercial centersC.local governmentsD.towns and villages45.Which of the following statements would Sir Nicholas Serota most probably agree with?A.Audiences with little education can also gain pleasure from cultural activities.B.Artists and audiences can create and enjoy the arts together without barriers.C.The soldiers and volunteers should vividly show scenes about the First World War.D.Science, technology and maths are more important than humanities and arts nowadays. 46.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.For the arts to get revitalized more extensive efforts are needed.B.The current British government has done enough to promote arts.C.ACE should narrow the financial gap left by the local government.D.Many performing venues have closed due to the rising property market.Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.What Your “Age” Says About YouImagine, for a moment, that you had no birth certificate and your age was simply based on the way you feel inside. How old would you say you are?Like your height or shoe size, the number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact. 47Scientists are increasingly interested in this quality. They are finding that our “subjective age” may be essential for understanding the reasons why some people appear to be energetic as they grow old — while others fade.48 It is now well accepted that people tend to mature as they get older, becoming less extroverted ( 外向的) and less open to new experiences. These personality changes are often considered more obvious in the people with older subjective ages.However, those who feel younger than they really are also become more reliable and less neurotic ( 神经质的) as they gain the wisdom that comes with greater life experience. But it doesn’t come at the cost of the energy and vigor of youth. It’s not true that having a lower subjective age leaves us frozen in a state of permanent immaturity.Feeling younger than your years also seems to come with a lower risk of depression and greater mental wellbeing as we age. 49 Most people felt about eight years younger than their actual chronological age (实际年龄). But some felt they had aged — and the consequences were serious. Feeling between 8 and 13 years older than your actual age resulted in an 18-25% greater risk of death over the study periods, and greater disease burden — even when you control for other demographic ( 人口学的) factors such as education, race or marital status.50 However old you really are, it’s worth questioning whether any of those limitations are coming from the within.A.It also means better physical health.B.One of the most interesting aspects of the research has explored how subjective age interacts with our personality.C.Some studies have explored the potential physical consequences of this difference. D.These findings can give us all a view of the way our own brains and bodies endure the passing of time.E.But everyday experience suggests that people often don’t experience ageing the same way. F.Many researchers are now trying to study how this knowledge might help us live longer.五、书面表达51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.What We Should Know about HoneyThe process that produces honey may have helped form humans too. Scientists believe that wild hives full of honey provided the calories that early humans such as Homo erectus (直立人), walking in Africa , needed to develop their brains into those of modern humans. That puts honey in a class with fire, tool use, and hunting as a key ingredient in the evolution of human beings.With time, those evolved brains learned to domesticate bees to produce honey in a farmed setting. Today’s beekeepers support large-scale industrial farms, which would be unable to grow their crops without hiring traveling groups of bees to come pollinate (授粉) their vast, single-species fields. The bees will endlessly fill the towers of combs put onto their hives by the beekeeper, who then collects the extra honey for human consumption while still leaving the bees all they need to eat.Today, the average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of honey every year, in tea, on toast, and beyond. Honey is a timeless treasure. Literally—it never goes bad. Samples nearly 3,000 years old found in the Egyptian pyramids are as eatable as the day they were entombed. Its anti-microbial nature also makes honey an excellent cure for wounds, keeping infection out while holding in the moisture that skin needs to heal.However, bees’ good health is not guaranteed. U.S. beekeepers lose about 40 percent of their hives annually to colony collapse disorder. The problem lies in the growth of industrialagriculture and pesticide use, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit. If bees continue to die, apples and peaches (along with any crop that relies on their pollination) will become scarcer and pricier. As will honey._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________六、翻译52.在成人仪式上,读了父母的肺腑之言后他情不自禁潸然泪下。

〔一共15小题;每一小题2分,满分是30分〕AThere are many Spanish gossip magazines being published around the world. If your Spanish is good enough, these magazines will offer a lively look into the private moments of the beautiful, rich and famous, and provide entertainment and at the same time, help you practice your Spanish.Diez Minutos: The magazine is a classic Spanish gossip feast with daily news based on many stories of love, separation, divorce and death. The two main parts are headlined “love〞and “partners〞. They also have an online version of the magazine for serious gossip addicts.Hola: It is Spain’s top weekly magazine and th e leader of the gossip world. It contains many pictures and a round-up of well-known and less well-known nobles and people in show business. Apart from edited highlights from the present and past issues, there is a report of the week and photo of the week. There is also a French version called OhLa!Revista CUORE: As the third best-selling gossip magazine in Spain, it is mainly aimed at younger teenage readers who look not only for current celebrity (名流〕gossip,but also for fashion and TV news. It uses a lot of oral terms.Revista SEMANA: It is a Spanish magazine covering the latest news on the famous in Spain and Hollywood.

It is also exported to certain parts of the United States, bringing together strange and wonderful news from around the world and the famous Latin community.21. What does the first paragraph tell us about Spanish gossip magazines?1.Types2. Publishers3. Functions4. OriginsA.1、2B. 3、4C. 1、、422. Which of the following also has a French version?A. Hola.B. Revista SEMANA.C. Revista LECTURAS.D.Marujeo .23. How many of the magazines mentioned in the text can be read on the Internet?A. One.B. Two.C. Three. d pourBDisease spread in many ways. An infected person can cough or sneeze on someonenearby, or they can spread germs through a handshake. But sometimes we pick up germs indirectly. A sick person might leave behind bacteria or viruses when they touch a door handle, for example. But what if those surfaces could clean themselves?Two teenagers from Hong Kong asked themselves the same question. Now they’ve developed a door handle that can kill germs on contact.The idea is simple. Every time the door is opened, the movement creates power that starts a germ-killing reaction on the handle. In lab tests, their system killed about 99.8 percent of the germs that they spread onto lab dishes covered with their material.Research by others has shown that door handles in public areas are often home to lots of bacteria and viruses, notes 17-year-old Sum Ming(“Simon〞〕Wong. He and schoolmate Kin Pong ( Michael ) Li, 18, wanted to design a covering for door handles that would kill germs.After doing some research, they learned that a mineral called titanium dioxide(二氧化钛〕is known to kill bacteria. It’s already used in many products, from paints to desserts. To make their covering, the teenagers made the mineral into a very fine powder.Titanium dioxide kills bacteria best when lit by ultraviolet(紫外线的〕light, says Simon. UV light is found in sunlight. But UV light does not naturally shine on indoor handles or any used at night, so the teenagers light their door handle from within.To make sure the light reaches the coated surface, the teenagers made their door handle out of clear glass, Each end fits into a bracket (托架).Inside one of thebrackets is a strong light-emitting diode(LED). From it comes UV light.And here’s the interesting part: The power that makes the UV light shine comes from opening and closing the door. The power from the door is then carried by wire to the LED inside the door handle.The door handle system, Michael and Simon say, might cost no more than about $13 (about 81 yuan) to build.24.The ways diseases spread are mentioned at the beginning of the text to .A. demonstrate how most diseases are spread indirectlyB. remind readers of the importance of cleaning their handsC. explain how to kill bacteria or viruses effectivelyD. help to describe a new invention that prevents diseases from spreading25. Michael and Simon’s door handle.A. is too expensive for ordinary familiesB. is powered by the movement of its usersC. works better at night than in the daytimeD. is made of a metal that can take in UV light26.The LED is placed inside the brackets to .A. supply enough power to the handle systemB. produce titanium dioxide to kill bacteriaC. provide UV light to help titanium dioxide work betterD. direct the UV light in sunlight to the coated surface27. What is the author^ attitude toward Michael and Simon s door handle system?A. CautiousB. CriticalC. EnthusiasticD. DisappointedCThere are an extremely large number of ants worldwide. Each individual (个体的〕ant hardly weighs anything, but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind. They also live nearly everywhere, except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles. For animals their size, ants have been astonishingly successful, largely due to their wonderful social behavior.In colonies (群体〕that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions, they organize their lives with a clear division of labor. Even more amazing is how they achieve this level of organization. Where we use sound and sight to communicate, ants depend primarily on pheromones (外激素〕,chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tasted by fellow members of their colony. When an ant finds food, it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is. When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying, it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.In fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal. They are completely fearless and will readily take on a creature much larger than themselves, attacking in large groups and overcoming their target. Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner, these little creatures have survived on Earth for more than 140 million years, far longer than dinosaurs. Because theythink as one, they have a collective (集体的〕intelligence greater than you would expect from its individual parts.28. We can learn from the passage that ants are .A. not willing to share foodB. not found around the polesC. more successful than all other animalsD. Too many to achieve any level of organization29. Ants can use pheromones for .A. escapeB. communicationC.warning enemiesD. arranging labor30. What does the underlined expression “ take on 〞 in Paragraph 3 mean?A. acceptB. employC. play withD. fight against31. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of ants?A. their behaviorB. their sizeC. their numberD. their weightDScience has lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation (诱惑〕to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement,appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines (学科〕.Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox (非常规的〕,and perhaps unfortunate way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development, and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction,.Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole, Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest.I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks s attempt to translate his tale into science.32.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to .A. illustrate where science can be appliedB. demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new bookC. remind the reader of the importance of scienceD. explain why many writers use science in their works33. According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?A. Its strong basis.B. Its convincing points.C. Its clear writingD. Its memorable characters.34. What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?A. Contradictory.B. Supportive.C. Cautious.D. Critical.35. What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?A. Problems with the book.B. Brooks’s life experiences.C. Death of the characters.D. Brooks’s translation skills.第二节〔一共5小题;每一小题2分,满分是10分〕根据短文内容,从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

宁夏石嘴山市平罗中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第三次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解2022 Best Global Universities in EuropeThese four top global universities in Europe have been numerically ranked based on their positions in the overall Best Global Universities rankings. Each institution was evaluated based on its research performance around the world.University of OxfordThe date of the University of Oxford’s founding maybe traced back to at least 1096. Oxford is located around 60 miles northwest of London, and around 45 percent of its student body is made up of graduate students. Research at Oxford takes place in all four of its academic divisions: humanities; mathematical, physical and life sciences; medical sciences; and social sciences.University of CambridgeThe University of Cambridge, located around 60 miles north of London, traces its history back to 1209. Cambridge contains 31 residential colleges, which are-responsible for admitting undergraduate and graduate students; three colleges Lucy Cavendish College, Murray Edwards College and Newnham College—are women-only.University College LondonUniversity College London, or UCL, is a public institution that was founded in 1826. UCL is based in central London, though it also has branch campuses in Qatar and Australia. It has exchange and research agreements as well as other types of partnerships with universities around the world, for example, Zhejiang University in China.Imperial College LondonImperial College London was founded in 1907.The university was previously a college of the University of London and became an independent institution in 2007. The university's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme each year sends around 400 students to partner universities in different countries to conduct hands-on research: for a minimum of eight weeks during the summer break.1.Which university has the longest history?A.University of Oxford.B.University of Cambridge.C.University College London.D.Imperial College London.2.What is special about the University of Cambridge?A.It is located in the south of London.B.It has women-only colleges.C.It usually admits postgraduates.D.I towns four academic divisions. 3.What maybe a reason for students to choose Imperial College London?A.Studying in the city center B.Experiencing the life in Qatar.C.Having eight weeks off annually.D.Participating in practical studies.to her 8 a.m. first period class from time to time. “It was so hard to wake up in the morning,” she said. “I had to bike to school and I lived on the other side of the island.”Like other teens, mornings area struggle because she had several hours of homework and extracurricular activities the night before, but research shows that’s not the entire story. According to psychotherapists, Heather Turgeon and Julie Wright in their book Generation Sleepless, today's teens are sleepier than ever and earlier school start time is disturbing their body's circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm.“One of the things that happens somewhere around age 12 is that their brain clock becomes set to a later pace,” said Turgeon, which put sateen about two hours behind the sleep schedule of a young child or an adult. “That means they want to go to sleep later and they want to wake up later,” she said.“We consider adequate sleep —the very lowest amount—to be about eight hours,” said Wright. However, the average sleep time for high school students is usually about 6.5 hours. And missing out on just a couple hours of rest each night has negative consequences for developing teenage brains.When a teen is tired, the amygdala—which is the part of the brain that responds to danger—will become more active. And the parts of the brain that are in charge of judgment become less active. Sleep issues are commonly associated with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder (双相情感障碍) and ADHD (多动症). “We see teens with very serious mental health issues and accidents and soon things that parents really worry about—and getting enough sleep addresses those issues.”Even with research showing that letting students sleep well contributes to betteracademic performance, lower truancy (旷课) rates and improved mental health, there has been pushback from parents and school districts about delaying the start of the school day. 4.What does the underlined word “tardy” probably m can in paragraph 1?A.Late.B.Busy.C.Tired.D.Excited. 5.What do we know about the kids aged about 12 according to Turgeon?A.They feel more tired than ever B.They sleep later and wakeup later.C.They have about 6.5 hours of sleep D.They sleep about two hours later than adults.6.What docs the fifth paragraph mainly tell us?A.The teens are always feeling tiredB.The amygdala becomes more active.C.The lack of sleep causes many problems.D.The teenagers have trouble sleeping7.What maybe the author's attitude to later school start time?A.Favorable B.Doubtful C.Ambiguous.D.DisapprovingAre flash floods becoming more severe? Natural disasters are generally getting worse—and that's true for floods, too.As climate change warms the atmosphere, extreme rainfall is rising, which increases the risk of flash floods. Heavy precipitation(降水) events are predicted to increase by 2 to 3 times the historical average. The Federal Emergency Management Agency expects the nation’s floodplains to expand by 45 percent by the end of this century, as the agency reported in a recent study. A study in early 2021 found that increased precipitation—resulting partially from climate change—costs the US an additional $ 2.5 billion each year in flood damage. And some studies show that flood frequency was increasing in the Mississippi River valley and across the Midwest in the last century, as well as in the Northeast over the past 50 years.There are several steps you can take to prepare for flash floodsFirst, know the level of risk by looking at flood maps. You may be required to have flood insurance if you live in a high-risk area.Pay attention to flash flood watches, which the National Weather Service issues to indicate when conditions could result.in flash floods. People in these areas-should be-ready to take action—particularly if the NWS announces a flash flood warning. That’s issued whenflash floods are approaching and, at that point, people should immediately leave the area.But be particularly careful when travelling by car. Don’t drive through flooded streets—it's difficult to judge the water depth, and roadways hidden below the water can collapse. If floodwaters cause your vehicle to lose control, abandon it and seek the higher ground. Rapidly rising water can sweep the vehicle away. Know your surroundings and head to the higher ground, and listen to the radio updates when in a flood.It’s also important to develop an emergency prepared plan with your family or those you live with to have a few days’ worth of resources.8.Why does the author ask the question in paragraph 1?A.To confirm an idea.B.To conclude the text.C.To introduce a topic.D.To express some doubts.9.How does the authors support the theme of the second paragraph?A.By analyzing causes.B.By listing relevant data.C.By describing processes.D.By making comparisons.10.What are the drivers especially advised to do in the text?A.Purchase insurance.B.Look at flood maps.C.Have an emergency plan.D.Avoid the flooded streets.11.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A.What Is a Flash Flood?B.Do Flash Floods Need Controlling?C.How Do We Prepare for Flash Floods?D.Are Flash Floods Becoming More Severe?Human tears could carry a flood of useful information. With just a few drops, a new technique can spot eye disease and even glimpse signs of diabetes(糖尿病), scientists report in ACS Nano.“We wanted to demonstrate the potential of using tears to detect disease,” says Liu Fei, a biomedical engineer at Wenzhou Medical University in China. It's possible that the t cars could open a window for scientists to look into the entire body, he says, and one day even let people quickly test their tears at home.Tears contain tiny sacs(囊) stuffed with cellular(细胞的) messages. If scientists could capture these microscopic mail bags, they could offer new information on what's happeninginside the body.But collecting enough of these sacs is tricky. Unlike fluid from other body parts, just a trickle of liquid leaks from the eyes.So Liu's team invented a new way to get the sacs from tiny volumes of tears. First, the researchers collected tears from study participants. Then, the team added a solution containing the tears to a device with two nanoporous membranes(纳米多孔膜), shook the membranes and sucked the solution through. Within minutes, the technique lets small molecules(分子) escape, leaving the sacs behind for analysis. The result surprises scientists very much. Different types of dry-eye disease left their own molecular fingerprints in people's tears, the team found. What's more, tears could potentially help doctors monitor how a patient's diabetes is progressing.Now, the scientists want to make use of tears for evidence of other diseases as well as depression or emotional stress, says study coauthor Luke Lee, a bioengineer at Harvard Medical School. “This is just the beginning.” he says, “Tears express something that we haven't really explored.”12.Which of the following can provide some information on the inside of the body?A.Tiny sacs.B.Body fluid.C.Molecular fingerprints.D.Nanoporous membranes.13.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A.A new way to make sacs.B.Procedures of obtaining sacs.C.The cause of the experiment.D.Hope for diabetes patients.14.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Further research on tears is to be made by scientists.B.Scientists have discovered more evidence about tears.C.Scientists have done more than enough research on tears so far.D.Scientists merely use t cars as evidence of mental problems.15.Where docs the text probably come from?A.An official document.B.A personal blog.C.A fashion journal.D.A science report二、七选五Why Cooking Meals at Home Benefits More Than Just Your Wallet When hunger strikes, the convenience of entering a fast-food restaurant or ordering takeout can be terribly attractive. 16 However, when it becomes a routine, your waistline, your wallet and your health can be badly affected. Here are four reasons to make cooking at home your option.It’s cheaper.You could spend $100 at a fancy restaurant for one dinner, 17 . When you shop smart and get creative, you needn’t spend more than $1 on breakfast, $2 on lunch and $4 on dinner to purchase wholesome, healthy foods. Here’s how: Buy in large quantities and stick to store-brand items.It may reduce your exposure to certain chemicals.The most surprising benefit of cooking at home can decrease the amount of harmful chemicals you’re exposed to. 18 Common in takeout and fast-food packaging, those chemicals have been associated with many diseases. Food packaging can also contain other damaging compounds (化合物).You can better estimate calories.19 That is why people tend to consume extra calories when dining away from home. On the contrary, you have complete control over the food materials when you cook in your own kitchen. Choosing fiber-packed vegetables and meat containing less fat will help keep your calories under control. So will the way you cook your food. Rather than frying, choose roasting.20Many chefs use a lot of salt while cooking. While salt can make food tastier, too much of it is linked to serious health issues like heart disease and high blood pressure. At home, you can control the quantity of salt on your plate by seasoning food in other ways, like using lemon juice. The same goes for sugar. You can use smaller quantities of natural sweeteners like honey to add sweetness to your food. Too much added sugar is linked to some diseases as well.A.You can reduce added salt and sugar.B.Eating out can make calorie counting tricky.C.while the same amount of money could buy you groceries for a week.D.Salt and sugar are both essentials in cooking delicious foods.E.Relying on food away from home occasionally is totally acceptable.F.People are always too engaged in their work to cook at home personally.G.People cooking at home have lower levels of dangerous chemicals in their bodies三、完形填空Candace Nicoleau is no stranger to overcoming struggle.

AIs traditional fairytales good all the time?Recent research found one in five parents have abandoned those old classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Hansel and Gretel and they’re in favor of more modern books.One third of parents said their children have been left in tears after hearing the terrible details of Little Red Riding Hood. The survey of 2,000 adults was carried out to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM, which starts tonight at 9:00 pm on Watch, and sees six series based on traditional fairytales. The research found a quarter of parents wouldn’t consider reading a fairytale to their child until they had reached the age of five, as they cause too many awkward questions. And 52 percent of the parents said Cinderella didn’t send a good message to their children as it portrays (描绘) a young woman doing housework all day. Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears was also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents felt it condones (宽恕) stealing.Steve Hornsey, General Manager of Watch, said: “Bedtime stories are supposed to relax the children and send them off to sleep soundly. But as we see in GRIMM, fairytales can be dark and dramatic tales so it’s understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children. As adults we can see the innocence in fairytales, but a five year old with an over active imagination could think they are true. Despite the dark nature of classic fairytales, as we see in GRIMM, good will defeat evil and there is always a moral to the story.”Though half of parents said traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids’ books, two thirds of mums and dads said they were no longer appropriate to comfort youngsters before bed. On the contrary, they might give their children nightmares.21.Which of the traditional fairytales tells one can get away with stealing?A.Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.B.Little Red Riding Hood.C. Goldilocks and the Three Bears.D. Hansel and Gretel.22.What’s the author’s attitude towards traditional fairytales?A.Objective.B.Supporting.C.Disapproving.D.Doubtful.23. .Which of the following is TRUE about the recent research?A.Steve Hornsey General Manager of Watch led the research.B.20% parents thought old classics aren’t fit for modern children.C.People like more modern books because old classics are out of date.D.About 30% parents were moved to tears after hearing some classic fairytales.BHi, everybody. Over the past couple months, most of the political headlines you’ve read have probably been about the government shutdown and the launch of the Affordable Care Act(平价医疗法案). And I know that many of you have rightly never been more frustrated with Washington.But if you look beyond those headlines, there are some good things happening in our economy. And that’s been my top priority(优先考虑)since the day I walked into the Oval Office.After decades in which the middle class was working harder and harder just to keep up, and a punishing recession(衰退)that made it worse, we made the tough choices required not just to recover from crisis, but to rebuild on a new foundation for stronger, more durable economic growth.Five years later, we have fought our way back. Our businesses have created 7.8 million new jobs in the past 44 months. Another 200,000 Americans went back to work last month.The American auto industry has come back with more than 350,000 new jobs –-- jobs putting out and selling the high-tech, fuel-efficient cars the world wants to buy. And they’re leading the charge in a business that has added jobs for the first time since the 1990s –-- a big reason why our businesses sell more goods and services “Made in America” than ever before.We decided to stop our addiction to foreign oil. And today, we produce more renewable energy than ever, more natural gas than anybody, and for the first time in nearly 20 years, America now produces more oil than we buy from other countries.We decided to fix a broken health care system. And even though the task has been rough, so far, about 500,000 Americans gain health coverage starting January 1st. And by the way, health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.And one more thing: since I took office, we’ve cut our deficits (赤字) by more than half. And that makes it easier to invest in the things that create jobs –-- education, research, and so on.Imagine how much farther along we could be if both parties were working together. Think about what we could do if the few didn’t hold the economy hostage (人质) every few months, or waste time on dozens of votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act rather than try to help us fix it.In the weeks ahead, I’ll keep talking about my plan to build a better bargain for the middle class. Good jobs. A good education. A chance to buy a home, save, and retire. And yes, the financial security of affordable health care. And I’ll look for any willin g partners who want to help.Because of your hard work and tough sacrifices over the past five years, we’re pointed in the right direction. But we’ve got more work to do to keep moving that way.And as long as I’m President, I’ll keep doing everything I can to create jobs, grow the economy, and make sure that everyone who works hard has a chance to get ahead. Thanks, and have a great weekend.24. Which of the following is not the reason for people’s frustration with the government?A. The government shutdownB. Unemployment rateC. The addiction to foreign oilD. Cancelling the Affordable Care Act25. Why does the president mention more goods and services “Made in America”?A. To show that American goods and services are very popular.B. To indicate that American people should be dependent on themselves.C. To show that the employment rate has been increased.D. To show that American auto industry enjoys high technology.26. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “repeal”?A. put an end toB. try hard to fixC. make strongerD. get accustomed to27. According to the speech, which of the following can be implied?A. American people have every reason to feel frustrated with the government.B. Health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.C. The president feels sorry that the economy is not moving in the right direction.D. Some government officials don’t agree with the president on the medical care system.CWanted, Someone for a KissWe're looking for producers to join us on the sound of London Kiss 100 FM.You'll work on the station's music pr ogrammes.Music production experience in radio is necessary, along with rich knowledge of modern dance music.Please apply(申请) in writing to Producer Vacancies, Kiss 100.Father ChristmasWe're looking for a very special person, preferably over 40, to fill our Father Christmas suit.

One trained in producing music programmes.DBefore the early 1960’s people interested in the differing roles of the left and right hemispheres(半球) of the brain depended almost entirely on facts drawn from animal research, from studies of patients with one-sided brain damage. But it was possible to find out which brain hemisphere was most involved in speech and other functions in normal people by having them listen to two different words coming to the two ears at the same time. This became known as the “dichotic listening” procedure. W hen several word pairs are given in a row, people are unable to report them all, and most right-handers prefer to report, and report more correctly, words given to their right ears. This seems to be related to the fact that signals from the right ear, although sent to both hemispheres, are better sent to the left hemisphere which controls speech. People who have speech represented(回忆) in the right hemisphere, a very unusual occurrence even in left-handed people, more correctly report what their left ears hear.In contrast to the right-ear advantage for speech, there is generally a left-ear advantage for another type of auditory(听觉的) signal: music. When right-handed people listen to melodic(调子美妙的) patterns they report them better from the left ear.32. Which of the following would be the most proper title for the passage?A. An Introduction to Speech Damage in Patients with Brain Damage.B. An Investigation into the Role of the Brain’s Hemispheres.C. An Analysis of Left and Right-handed People.D. An Examinat ion of “Dichotic Listening”.33.
