proven to be a journey of surgeries．She was forced to have two permanent ostomies(造口术)，causing her to have ostomy bags for the rest of her life．Carrying not one，but two ostomy bags is not something you would want anyone to go through especially your own child．As a single father，Jay is Kiley’s biggest advocate．When Kiley was 10 years old，she gave a special Father's Day gift to her father to express her gratitude，which was to dance with him at her talent show at schoo1．In the video，the little girl was smiling from ear to ear．They danced along the song．Overcomer of American Idol’s

function．The results of a study by researchers from Bochum suggest that they have fewer，but thickcr fibers in the main connecting tract between the brain hemispheres(半球)．In addition，their motor brain areas are organized more efficiently．This is the conclusion drawn by a research team headed by ra．It was published in the journal Brain and Behavior，online on 4 December 2024．The researchers were interested in drummers because their movement control far surpasses that of untrained people．“Most people can only perform fine motor tasks with one hand and have problems playing different rhythms with both hands at the same time，”explains Lara．“Drummers can do things that are impossible for untrained people．”The team intended to gain new insights into the organization of complex motor processes in the brain by identifying the changes in the brain caused by this training．The researchers tested 20 professional drummers who have played their instrument for an average of 17 years and currently practice for more than ten hours per week．They examined them using various MRI imaging techniques that provide insights into the structure and function of the brain．They then compared the data with measurcments of 24 unmusical control subjects．Both groups had to play drums to test their abilities and were then examined in the MRI scanner．Drummers presented clear differences in the front part of the corpus callosum(胼胝体)responsible for motor planning．The data indicated that the drummers had fewer but thicker fibers in this imponant connecting tract．This allows musicians to exchange information between the hemispheres more quickly than the controls．Although drummers might be good at motor coordination，they are less active in motor tasks than that of control subjects．This phenomenon indicates that a more efficient brain organization in the areas leads to less activation in professionals．8．Which has the closest meaning with the underlined word in Paragraph 2? A．Correspond with．B．Go beyond．C．Differ from．D．Fall behind．9．How did the team identify the changes in drummers’brain?A．By analyzing previous study．B．By organizing complex motor tasks．C．By testing their abilities and scanning the brains．D．By comparing amateur drummers and unmusical people．10．Which statement is true about the drummers?A．They are more active in motor tasks．B．They can play rhythms more quickly．C．They have better imagination and insights．D．They have more efficient brain organization．11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Playing drums changes the brain．B．Playing drums can be trained．C．Playing music makes you active．D．Playing music brings benefits．DVegan leather(纯素皮)，a cruelty-free and environment-friendly substitute for animal leather has long been the ultimate goal of sustainable fashion．Now，an alternative may be making the jump from the lab to cupboards，and its souse may surprise many people：the forest floor．Mycelium(菌体丝)，the fibrous roots of fungi(真菌)，is being made into durable clothes and bags with a lower carbon cost than animal’s skin or plastic，and it’s a material that won’t pile up in landfills．While products made from it aren’t available to buy yet，industry experts say the material has great potential to influence the market for animal and synthetic(合成的)leathers．And it has a unique look and feel．Leather production relies on skin from cattle and sheep，whose raising is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions．Leather processing also uses dangerous chemicals and generates large amounts of waste from treating raw skin．By contrast，fungi’s growth is effectively carbon neutral since they catch and store carbon that would otherwise be emitted or remain in the atmosphere，according to Nature．Pure and untreated fungi-1eather also breaks down easily．A number of companies are relying on consumer’s interest in a true fungi leather．Some 66％US respondents to a survey by the consulting firm Mckinscy&Company said they consider sustainability when making a luxury purchase．California-based Mekino is perhaps closest to producing a commercially available product called Reishi．“It has the same quality and artistic value as animal leather and it will be launched in partnership with top brands in the coming months．”said Sophia Wang，the company’s co-founder．One of the challengs with fungi-leather is making a uniform “mat”with consistentthickness，appearance and color，according to Nature．It’s also necessary to balance durability with biodegradability(降解) ．12．What do we know about Mycelium?A．Its products are available now．B．It is likely to gain some market share．C．It has a high carbon emission．D．It accounts for alarge part of waste．13.How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?A．By making a comparison.

However, it wasn't until her first visit to China that she truly began to appreciate the depth of Chinese culture. One particular experience stood out: her first encounter with the art of Chinese tea.Lily had grown up with the aroma of tea wafting through her home, a legacy of her mother's Chinese roots. Yet, it was in the ancient teahouses of Hangzhou that she discovered the soul of Chinese tea culture. There, amidst the gentle rustle of bamboo and the soft murmur of conversation, she observed the ritualistic preparation of tea, a process as natural as the flow of the streams she had once explored in the English countryside.Her mother, a connoisseur of Chinese teas, introduced Lily to the subtleties of tasting. Why do certain leaves unfurl to reveal hidden flavors? Which infusions can evoke the essence of a mountain mist or a summer breeze? With each sip, Lily felt a connection to her ancestral home, a bond that transcended language and tradition.The journey of tea from leaf to cup became a metaphor for Lily's own journey of self-discovery. She decided to embark on a quest to understand the art of tea, to learn how the Chinese have cultivated and cherished this ancient beverage for centuries. She would later refer to this pursuit as her "cultural eco-journey."The task Lily set for herself was to immerse herself in the tea culture, to experience firsthand the process from tea picking to brewing. First, she visited the lush tea gardens of Longjing, where she learned about the meticulous care required for each leaf. Then she traveled to the workshops where artisans crafted the tea, each step a testament to the harmony between human skill and natural bounty.She was captivated by the results. The tea she tasted was not just a drink; it was a story, a history, and a tradition that had been passed down through generations. Within moments, the flavors unfolded on her palate, a testament to the purity and wisdom of Chinese tea culture.Over time, Lily has delved deeper into the world of tea. She has explored the tea ceremonies of various regions, each with its unique customs and significance. She also discovered the therapeutic properties of tea, how it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to promote health andwell-being."Cultural immersion" is what Lily calls her approach to understanding her heritage. "The world is a treasure trove of experiences for the curious," she says. "You immerse yourself in new cultures and observe the traditions. Then you let these new insights shape your own understanding of the world."4.What can we learn about Lily from the first two paragraphs?A. She was curious about her dual heritage.B. She preferred the British lifestyle.C. She had a deep interest in tea.D. She longed to visit China.5.Why did Lily visit the tea gardens and workshops?A. To learn about the tea-making process.B. To find the perfect cup of tea.C. To understand the cultural significance of tea.D. To test her knowledge of Chinese tea.6.What is the author's purpose in mentioning Longjing?A. To review Lily's cultural journey.B. To show an application of Lily's interest in tea.C. To compare different tea regions in China.D. To dispel doubts about the quality of Chinese tea.7.What is the basis for Lily's cultural exploration?A. The desire to connect with her Chinese roots.B. The belief in the therapeutic properties of tea.C. The fascination with the art of tea preparation.D. The curiosity about the cultural significance of tea.CThe goal of this book is to make the case for Chinese fashion minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it entails and why it resonates, and then to guide you on how to adopt this aesthetic if you decide it's the right path for you.To achieve this, I have divided the book into two parts. In part one, I delve into the philosophicalunderpinnings of Chinese fashion minimalism, beginning with an examination of the cultural forces that have shaped the traditional Chinese sartorial experience, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the principles of Chinese fashion minimalism.Part one culminates with an introduction to my recommended approach for embracing this aesthetic: the sartorial declutter. This process involves stepping away from non-essential fashion choices for a set period. At the end of this period, you will reintroduce a select few clothing items and accessories that you believe will significantly enhance your personal style and cultural identity.In the final chapter of part one, I will guide you through conducting your own sartorial declutter. I will draw on an experiment I conducted in 2018, where over 1,600 individuals participated in a cultural wardrobe cleanse. You will hear their stories, learn which strategies were effective, and be warned of the pitfalls to avoid.The second part of this book takes a deeper look at concepts that will help you cultivate a sustainable minimalist Chinese fashion lifestyle. In these chapters, I explore the significance of traditional craftsmanship and the importance of nurturing high-quality cultural experiences to replace the time often spent on superficial fashion trends. Each chapter concludes with a set of practices designed to help you implement the chapter's key ideas. Consider these practices as a toolkit to assist you in constructing a minimalist wardrobe that suits your unique cultural context.8.What is the book aimed at?A. Teaching traditional Chinese fashion skills.B. Advocating a minimalist Chinese fashion lifestyle.C. Solving cultural fashion dilemmas.D. Promoting the purchase of traditional Chinese garments.9.What does the underlined word "declutter" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Streamline.B. Accumulate.C. Inventory.D. Dominate.10.What is presented in the final chapter of part one?A. Cultural narratives.B. Quantitative fashion trends.C. Practical wardrobe examples.D. Historical costume analyses.11.What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two?A. Apply them as needed.B. Share them with the community.C. Assess their cultural impact.D. Recognize the traditional values they represent.DThe film "Catch the Doll" is a poignant and thought-provoking work that, on the surface, delivers the signature humor of the Happy Twist team, but underneath, it presents a cruel allegory that resonates deeply with the audience. Here are my impressions of the movie, articulated in English: "Catch the Doll" is a masterful blend of comedy and tragedy, a film that starts with laughter but ends with a profound reflection on life's ironies. The movie, starring the iconic duo Shen Teng and Ma Li, is akin to a sugar-coated shell that initially offers the sweet taste of humor but gradually reveals the bitter pill of social satire and a probing examination of human nature.The film's narrative is a stark portrayal of the extreme pressures and expectations placed on children by their parents. Shen Teng's character, Ma Chenggang, a wealthy businessman, and his wife,the point of deception and manipulation, to ensure their son's success. Their approach to parenting is chilling, turning the concept of a nurturing home into a prison of expectations and control.The movie cleverly uses exaggeration to highlight the absurdity of such an extreme parenting style. Ma Chenggang's belief in the necessity of hardship for his son's growth is a twisted interpretation of the saying, "Heaven will confer a great responsibility on a person, it will first exercise his mind with suffering, and his sinews and bones with toil.""Catch the Doll" also invites us to consider the broader implications of such behavior. It raises questions about the value of individual freedom and the right of children to have their own dreams and aspirations, rather than being mere tools to fulfill parental ambitions. The film serves as a mirror, reflecting the often-overlooked issues of excessive expectations, out-of-control education, and the disregard for personal value in modern society.In the end, "Catch the Doll" is not just a comedy; it's a social commentary that provokes deep thought and self-reflection. It's a film that, despite its humorous facade, leaves a lasting impact, urging viewers to question the nature of love, control, and the true meaning of success. The movie's ending, which is both happy and tinged with regret, encapsulates the complex emotions that it stirs within us, reminding us that often, we spend our lives trying to heal the wounds of our childhood.12.What is the central theme of the film "Catch the Doll"?A. The importance of parental guidance in children's success.B. The balance between humor and social issues in filmmaking.C. The paradoxical nature of extreme parenting and its impact on children.D. The journey of a child's pursuit of happiness and success.13.In the film, the character Ma Chenggang's parenting style is depicted as:A. Encouraging and supportive of his son's personal aspirations.B. Strict but ultimately beneficial for his son's character development.C. Excessive and potentially damaging to his son's well-being.D. Indifferent and neglectful of his son's emotional needs.14.The film "Catch the Doll" uses the character of Ma Chenggang to:A. Critique the societal pressure on children to succeed academically.B. Advocate for a more lenient approach to parenting.C. Illustrate the potential consequences of extreme parental control.D. Demonstrate the effectiveness of traditional parenting methods.15.The author's tone in discussing the film "Catch the Doll" can be best described as:A. Critical and disapproving of the depicted parenting methods.B. Neutral, simply presenting the film's narrative without bias.C. Admiring and appreciative of the film's social commentary.D. Skeptical, questioning the effectiveness of the film's message.二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。

The show starts at 7:00 p.m. every Saturday and lasts for approximately two hours.The ticket price for adults is $20, while for students and seniors (over 65), it is $15. Children under 5 can enter for free.After watching the performance, many people have shared their amazing experiences. They were impressed by the colorful costumes, powerful rhythms, and the unity and passion of the dancers.21. Where is Yingge Dance especially popular?A.

If a family of two adults, a student, and a child aged 4 goes to watch the show, how much should they pay?A. $50B. $55C. $60D. $65BOne sunny afternoon in the park, I witnessed a remarkable scene. An elderly gentleman was standing by the side of a path, looking confused and lost. Just at that moment, a kind-hearted young girl approached him. She asked him gently what was wrong and listened patiently as he struggled to explain.Without hesitation, the girl took his hand and slowly guided him along the path, chatting with him to ease his anxiety. They walked together until they reached the place the old man was supposed to be. The old man smiled with thankfulness and relief.After helping the old man, the girl didn't just leave. She spent some more time with him, sharing some interesting stories and making him laugh. The old man's eyes sparkled with joy, and it was clear that this interaction had brightened his day. The girl's kindness seemed to have an effect, as other people in the park also noticed and were inspired by her actions.I continued to observe as the girl then decided to stay with the old man for a while longer. They sat on a bench together, and the girl began to tell him about her own life, her dreams, and her adventures. The old man listened attentively, nodding and smiling from time to time. It was a beautiful sight to behold, this unlikely pair sharing such a genuine and heartwarming connection.This encounter made me reflect on the importance of kindness in our society. In a world that can often seem cold and hurried, acts like the girl's are like the tower of light, showing us the way to a more empathetic（同情的）and caring existence. It also made me think about how we all have the potential to make a difference in someone else's life, no matter how small the act may be.Now, whenever I recall this scene, it warms my heart and reminds me to be more willing to offer a helping hand, to spread kindness wherever I go, and to believe in the goodness that lies within each of us.24.

She took his hand and guided him along the path to help him find the place he was supposed to be.C. She asked to take a photo with him to capture the moment.D. She went to a nearby store and bought him a refreshing drink.25. How did the old man feel in the end?A. He felt extremely grateful and had a big smile on his face because he was happy.B. He was still hungry and sad as no one really cared about his needs.C. He felt fearful and angry because the girl was too pushy.D. He felt cold and tired as the walk was too long.26. What can we infer about the author's attitude?A. Doubtful .B. Disapproving.C. NegativeD. Admiring.27. Where is this passage most likely from?A. A detailed and informative travel guide filled with places to visit.B. A complex and educational science textbook with various theories.C. A personal blog where the author shares personal experiences and thoughts.D. A trendy and fashionable magazine featuring the latest styles and trends.CChina's tea culture is an ancient and profound（意义深远的）cultural heritage that has been passed down and developed for thousands of years. It weaves an complicated and fascinating pattern within Chinese society.Tea growing in China is an art form in itself. The tea-growing areas, with their special climates and lands, produce teas of exceptional quality. From the misty mountains of Fujian to the green landscapes of Yunnan, different areas offer a rich variety of tea types.The process of making tea is careful and detailed. It involves exact measurements of water temperature, the right amount of tea leaves, and a certain steeping time to get the fullest flavor and smell. This care for details shows the Chinese people's search for excellence in all parts of life.Tea is not merely a beverage; it is a thing that helps social relations. It brings people together, whether in family get-togethers, friendly meetings, or business talks. The act of sharing a cup of tea is a sign of kindness and connection. And the many tea-houses all over the country offer places for people to relax, talk, and enjoy the peace that tea gives. Moreover, tea ceremonies are an important part of Chinese culture. These ceremonies are complex and formal, showing the grace and elegance of Chinese traditions. They involve exact movements and a deep respect for the tea and the process.In addition to its social and cultural importance, tea in China is also known for its possible health benefits. It is thought to have anti-oxidant(抗氧化的) features and is linked to various good effects on physical health.As China keeps moving forward and modernizing, its tea culture is still strongly fixed, a proof of its historical and cultural importance. It keeps attracting both the Chinese people and those from around the world, inviting them to explore and enjoy the beauty and depth of this great cultural phenomenon.28. What is the main reason for the rich variety of tea types in China?A. Different processing methods.B. Different people's preferences.C. Different regions' climates and lands.D. Different times of harvest.29. What does the word "beverages" mean in the passage?A. A type of food that is sweet and usually served as dessert.B. A tool or equipment used for cooking.C. A kind of medicine that helps to cure diseases.D. Something that people drink, such as water, juice, or coffee.30. What is the main feature of tea ceremonies in China?A. Simple and casual.B. Complicated and formal.C. Fast-paced and efficient.D. Loud and lively.31. Why is tea culture still firmly rooted in China?A. Because of its long history.B. Because it is profitable.C. Because it is easy to maintain.D. Because the government promotes it.DChina successfully launched the Chang'e-6 spacecraft on Friday. A Long March-5 rocket lifted it off from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan. This was a huge success and a remarkable achievement for China's space exploration program. The launch not only shows China's advanced technological abilities but also makes scientists and space lovers around the world excited.Collecting samples from the far side of the moon is a new thing for humanity. We have very little knowledge about this mysterious side. If the Chang'e-6 mission is successful, it will give scientists important and direct facts to know more about the far side's environment, geological features, and material make-up. This will be an important step forward in our exploration of the moon and the universe as a whole.The Chang'e-6 spacecraft has an orbiter, a lander, an ascender（上升器）, and a returner. When it reaches the moon, it will land carefully on the far side. Within 48 hours after landing, a robot arm will carefully collect rocks and soil from the lunar surface. Also, a drill will go into the ground to take samples from deeper layers. At the same time, a series of complex scientific tests and analyses will be done to get valuable data.The far side of the moon is very different from the side we can see. The Apollo basin in the South Pole-Aitken Basin is chosen as the landing and sampling place for the Chang'e-6 mission. This area is thought to have precious clues about the moon's formation and development, giving possible ideas about the early history of our celestial（天体）neighbor.This mission has many technical difficulties and needs the latest technologies. It also gets help from international cooperation, showing the spirit of working together in the global search for space exploration. The exploration of the far side of the moon may provide valuable scientific data and open up new possibilities for future space activities, such as setting up long-term lunar bases and using lunar resources.The success of the Chang'e-6 mission has the possibility to make more international cooperation in space exploration. It shows China's strong wish to add to the growth of global knowledge about the universe and encourages other countries to work together to find out the secrets of the universe.32. What is the main purpose of the Chang'e-6 mission?A. To build a base on the far side of the moon.B. To study how the moon moves around.C. To collect and bring back samples from the far side of the moon.D. To look for water on the moon.33. Which of the following is true about the far side of the moon?A. It's different from the side we can see.B. It's the same as the side we can see.C. We know a lot about it.D. It has no rocks or soil.34. What might the exploration of the far side of the moon lead to?A. No change in the future.B. New chances for space activities.C. Fewer friends for China in space.D. No new technologies.35. What could be a suitable title for this passage?A. "The Mystery of the Moon"B. "The Far Side of the Moon: Unknown Territory"C. "Space Exploration and Challenges"D. "China's Chang'e-6 Mission: Unveiling the Secrets of the Moon's Far Side"第二节（共5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分12.5 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

directly.B.Visit the hotel in person.C.Contact the owner via WeChat.D.Book through the Pet Hotels app.BBill Bryson’s phenomenally popular books are a great success of amateur enthusiasm over scholarly expertise.In the highly reviewed Shakespeare(2007),he raced us through the playwright’s life and works in222pages;A Short History of Nearly Everything(2003)was his624-page analysis of“everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilisation”—and it remains the best-selling science book of the21st century so far.Can he make it again with A Really Short Journey Through the Body,which promises us a“head to toe”tour in138pages?In his books for adult readers,Bryson’s success has lain in an ability to turn vast,complex subjects into an easy and pleasant narrative,filled with tiny facts and odd stories.His latest book,which follows his adult title The Body (2020),is aimed at children as young as eight,for whom this proven writing style works well.“No doubt about it,the human body is a truly remarkable thing,”Bryson writes,and it’s the remarkable facts that interest him the most.Did you know that you blink14,000times a day?Or that it takes seven billion billion billion atoms to make you?And that if you formed all your DNA into a single line,it would reach10billion miles across the solar system?Fresh doctors might find some of the entries frustratingly brief.The tongue,for example,receives only a paragraph,while,a chapter,entitled‘Poo and Farts’,is relatively detailed:“In your life,you’ll probably poo the weight of5cars but you’ll have eaten the weight of60.So that’s not a terrible result.”Biology books can be heavy weather;but Bryson’s skill,as ever,is to turn the story of the human body into a thoroughly digestible read.4.What do Bryson’s latest book and The Body(2020)have in common?A.They are easy to read.B.They are both about physics.C.They are intended for adults.D.They are both best-selling books.5.What is the purpose of Paragraph3?A.To analyze the structure of the book.B.To illustrate the attraction of the book.C.To show the scientific value of the book.D.To display the main contents of the book.6.What does the underlined phrase“heavy weather”mean in the last paragraph?A.Packed with facts.B.Weather-related.C.Hard to understand.D.Popular and readable.7.What is the text?A.An introduction to a book.B.An essay on biology.C.A news report on science.D.A biography of a writer.CStrategically adding weak points along microscopic chains called polymers(高分子聚合物)actually makes them harder to tear,researchers report in the June23Science.Polymers are used in car tires,and therefore the findings could help reduce plastic pollution as tires wear down over time.When tires rub against the road,they drop microplastics of rubber and plastic polymers,which pollute waterways and air.Every year,tires release an estimated6million metric tons of these microplastics into environment.Stronger polymers that break apart less easily could limit the amount of particles shed annually.To make such tough materials,Stephen Craig,a chemist at Duke University,and colleagues added molecules called cross-linkers to the polymers.These cross-linkers connected these polymer chains to their many neighbors,and they were specifically designed to break apart easily.At the microscopic scale,the polymers act like a tangle(乱团)of spaghetti with the cross-linkers holding them all together and helping them keep their shape,says Craig’s collaborator Shu Wang,a chemist at MIT.When the team stretched the polymer spaghetti,the individual cross-linkers broke easily, as expected.But the larger tangle material required more force to break than they expected.The secret to the increased toughness lies in the path the tear has to take,Craig says.The tear goes through the easy-to-break cross-linkers rather than through the tougher polymer chains.Each broken connection follows the path of least resistance but avoiding the long polymer chains means breaking many cross-linkers,which requires more stretching force overall.This isn’t the first time researchers have used weak connectors to make polymers stronger.But unlike in similar materials,the increased toughness doesn’t come at the expense of other beneficial properties like stiffness(风度). Craig says he hopes the findings will help extend the lifetimes of car tires and plastics,potentially limiting annual microplastic pollution.8.What benefit does the new material bring?A.It meets the road standard.B.It weakens plastic polymers.C.It releases less microplastics.D.It reduces the cost of car tires.9.What can we know about the tangle material?A.It follows the pattern of spaghetti.B.It is designed to fall apart easily.C.The polymers help keep its shape.D.The larger tangle is harder to break.10.What is the primary factor that contributes to the increased toughness?A.The weakness of the cross-linker.B.The strength of the polymer chains.C.The number of the cross-linkers used.D.The path the tear takes through the material.11.What can we learn about the finding?A.It initially uses weak connectors.B.It sacrifices stiffness for toughness.C.It lengthens the lifespan of car tires.D.It removes annual microplastic pollution.DEver feel disconnected during a stressful event?That could be your brain protecting you.During traumatic(痛苦的)situations,people might experience an unexpected wave of emotional indifference or feel like they’ve separated from reality and are having an out-of-body experience.These symptoms of disconnect describe dissociation,a defense mechanism that separates threatening feelings and ideas from the rest of someone’s mind.But why do our minds sometimes dissociate when we’re experiencing stressful events?Typically,the sympathetic nervous system,which is responsible for our“fight or flight”response,activates when a person is in upcoming physical danger.Mammals,including humans,evolved to have this response,as it pushes them to survive by fighting or escaping from danger.Dissociation is another way the nervous system is ready to respond to trauma when fight or flight appears to be too dangerous or impossible.Dissociation can protect someone in the moment so that they are mentally separated from a situation causing physical pain,emotional pain or both.Oftentimes,victims of abuse report dissociation during the event or having foggy memories of an event after the fact due to dissociation.Nevertheless,problems can arise if people continue to dissociate even once they’re separated from the intense trauma,as opposed to relying on other coping mechanisms,for example,help from a professional.Many people who continue to dissociate often struggle with daily stress,like meeting work deadlines or speaking with peers.Many feel disconnected in their relationships and may find themselves unconcentrated during what used to be usual interactions or tasks.But the goal of addressing long-term dissociation isn’t to do away with it.After all,it can be a useful strategy to help survive a dangerous situation.But memories of the traumatic event are often disruptive and painful,so having some distance from that could mean a better quality of life after the trauma.12.What is the main idea of Paragraph1?A.It defines what dissociation is.B.It emphasizes the value of dissociation.C.It lists different symptoms of disconnect.D.It explains why we experience stressful events.13.How does dissociation work on victims of abuse?A.By erasing their memories.B.By getting rid of their emotional pain.C.By protecting victims from physical pain.D.By distancing the victims mentally from the reality.14.What might happen if people continue to dissociate?A.Failing to focus on tasks.B.Meeting work deadlines.C.Having a better quality of life.D.Relying on other coping mechanisms.15.Which of the following might the author agree with?A.Traumatic events are avoidable.B.Dissociation needs to be handled properly.C.People’s well-being is based on the distance.D.There’re enough coping strategies for traumas.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school's Grade 2class. Today ,at18,the Grade 12 student's initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode(解码)real-world problems.In 2021, she co-developed Megaphone, one of her first apps, to tackle unanswered post- class questions and poor communication about events and announcements. Her problem-solving ability kept building from there.When she took online CPR classes at the start of the pandemic, she figured it couldn't be just her who was struggling with the steps. So she created an app called CPR Buddy―a winner in the 2022 Apple Swift Challenge―which guides users through CPR using vibrations(震动) to regulate breath. After winning theaward, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn't lose her cool over. “There's no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),”she says.The next year, Angelina built an app called Lilac, designed to assist nonEnglish-speaking single parents with resources for housing, job opportunities and translation support. She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the US.When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training.Looking to the future, besides applying to colleges with great labs, Angelina is exploring the field of aerospace cybersecurity and mechatronics―combining computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.“There's not enough optimism in the world," she says. “I have also been in situations in my life where I've lost a lot of hope. But in the end, it is a mindset, and there are ways in any situation you're in to make it somewhat better."4.What is Angelina's pursuit?A. To design games for kids.B. To stimulate teen's curiosity.C. To address problems through technology.D. To find innovative approaches to digital challenges.5.What can we learn about Angelina from Paragraph 3?A. She couldn't breathe regularly.B. She was inspired by celebrities.C. She replaced CPR with an app.D. She was humble about her success.6.What was the primary goal of developing Pilot Fast Track?A. To direct pilots' career paths.B. To help to-be pilots find funds.C. To pair future pilots with airlines.D. To evaluate pilot training schools.7. What might be the best title?A. Breaking the codeB. Bearing growing painsC. Facing life as it isD. Following role modelsCSome people today might be early risers because of DNA they take after Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, suggests new research.When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70,000 years ago, some of them mated with Neanderthals, who had already adapted to the colder, darker climates of the north. The ripple(涟漪) effects of that intermating still exist today: Modern humans of non- African ancestry(血统)have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Some of that DNA relates to sleep more specifically, the internal body clock known as the circadian rhythm.For the new study, researchers compared DNA from today's humans and DNA from Neanderthal fossils(化石).In both groups, they found some of the same genetic variants involved with the circadian rhythm. And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also reported being early risers.For Neanderthals, being “morning people” might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight. This connection makes sense in the context of human history. When early humans moved north out of Africa, they would have experienced variable daylight hours--shorter days in the winter and longer days in the summer-for the first time. The Neanderthals' circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans' offspring(后代)adapt to this new environment.Notably ,the findings do not prove that Neanderthal genes are responsible for the sleep habits of all early risers. Lots of different factors beyond genetics can contribute , including social and environmental influences. The study also only included DNA from a database called the U.K. Biobank-so the findings may not necessarily apply to all modern humans. Next, the research team hopes to study other genetic databases to see if the same link holds true for people of other ancestries. If the findings do apply more broadly , they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones.8.What does the new research focus on?A. DNA's dramatic changes.B. Genes’ influence on early risers.C. Neanderthals’ sleeping patterns.D. Ancestors’ environmental adaptability.9.What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research?A. Historical context.B. Additional proof.C. Sample analysis.D. Studying process.10. What is the real benefit of carrying Neanderthal's DNA for modern humans?A .Getting up earlier. B. Having healthier daily routines.C. Being more flexible in their work.D. Possessing a better circadian rhythm.11. What can be inferred about the findings from the last paragraph?A. They get proof from other studies.B. They are confirmed by early risers.C. They suggest potential applications.D. They reveal factors in sleeping disorders.DI had to say something after reading The Anxious Generation. It is going to sell well , because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children's development many parents are led to believe. However, the book's repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children's brains and causing the epidemic (流行病)of mental illness is unsupported by science. Worse , the rude proposal that social media is to blame might distract (分心)us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis in young people.Researchers have searched for the effects suggested by Haidt. Our efforts have produced a mix of no, small and mixed associations. Most data are correlative. When associations over time are found, they suggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression, but that young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers.We are not alone here. Several analyses and systematic reviews centralize on the same message. An analysis done in 72 countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally. Moreover, studies from some authorities finds no evidence of intense changes associated with digital-technology use.As a psychologist studying children's and adolescents’ mental health, I appreciate parents’frustration(沮丧)and desire for simple answers. As a parent of adolescents, I would also like to identify a simple source for the pain this generation is reporting. There are, however, no simple answers. The beginning and development of mental disorders are driven by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors.More young people are talking openly about their mental-health struggles than ever before. But insufficient services are available to address their needs. In the United States, there is, on average, one school psychologist for every 1,119 students. We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more.12.What is presented in The Anxious Generation?A. Scary stories affect children's brains.B. Parents are responsible for children's health.C. Teen's mental illness results from screen time.D. The epidemic of mental illness is unavoidable.13.What does “the same message ”underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Many countries do research in mental health.B. Well-being and social media are closely related.C. The young are trapped in the mental-health crisis,D. Social media don't necessarily cause mental illness.14. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. Effective actions need to be taken.B. Positive stories should be shared.C. Financial support needs to be provided.D. Broader research should be done.15.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To suggest ways to help those in need.B. To encourage parents to brave the crisis.C. To recommend a newly-published book.D. To give a voice to children's mental issues.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
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. Located in the district of Damansara Perdana, Mum’s Place is a neighbourhood restaurant with its main customers from residents nearby. Some of the best dishes include cencaru fish, devil curry chicken and beef rendang.CantaloupeLocated about 20 minutes from downtown Malacca, it is a home-based eatery with about 10 tables manned by four operators. Unlike most restaurants, food is self-service here, with dishes placed on catering pans for customers to choose from. It serves traditional Malaysian dishes with distinct Chinese influences. You will find rice dumplings and chicken rendang among the offerings. It has two branches in the city. Their dishes sell out fast, so it’d be best to head there before lunch time.YumYum RestaurantSituated in the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel, Yum Yum Restaurant is among the locals’ many favourite spots to dine at. It offers an interesting Nyonya and Thai food with Chinese influences that make them stand out. The classic dishes include sambal petai prawns, assam fish head and Yum Yum egg. It can get crowded here, so it’d be best to head there early or call ahead for reservations.Troika Sky DiningOffering fine dining, the impressive Troika Sky Dining undoubtedly stands out from the pack. Set on the 23rd floor of Tower B of The Troika, it goes without saying that the cloud-skimming views here are something else entirely. The food is what helped it stand out. It serves award-winning French, Italian, Greek, and Spanish food and adventurous menu ofhigh-end pizzas and pasta.1．What do Mum’s Place and Yum Yum Restaurant have in common?A．They are based in hotels.B．They serve Nyonya dishes.C．They need prior reservations.D．They offer breathtaking views. 2．Which restaurant serves western food?A．Mum’s Place.B．Cantaloupe.C．Yum Yum Restaurant.D．Troika Sky Dining.3．What’s special about Cantaloupe?A．It is a buffet restaurant.B．It serves hard-to-find dishes.C．It has branches throughout Asia.D．It opens for lunch earlier than others.The motivation for his invention came to Aarrav Anil last year when he saw his uncle Arjun, who has Parkinson’s disease, struggle to eat. 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。

2024年淄博市高三一模英语高考模拟试卷试题(含答案详解)
淄博市2023-2024学年度高三模拟考试英语2024年3月第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
AGood evening everyone!I hope to pick your brain on potential advertising strategies and gaining new customers for my boyfriend’s car repair shop.He has been in business for3years and is fairly successful,but we are trying to increase the number of chargeable hours.While he was doing repair work,I took over all the administrative duties.The first thing on my to-do list was to get him on social media.I was floored that he had no social media presence,which is not surprising considering he is old school.Now,he has a business Facebook page and an Instagram account,although it may not be worth much yet.We are working on a weekly“feature”for both platforms in order to create some interest.He doesn’t want to do coupons(优惠券)or discounts or anything like that,and I understand why.His labor rate is already significantly lower than anyone else in the area,and his overall costs are lower as well.This is where I am a bit lost——how can we effectively attract more customers without a hook?My guess would be focusing on the value,but I’m not sure how well that will work out.We are considering sending postcards as well since he already cooperates with a few local shops who send their large jobs to him and such.However,I am unsure about Facebook marketing, but definitely open.1．What was scheduled first to promote business?A．Working out a weekly feature.B．Increasing chargeable hours. C．Establishing his presence online.D．Visiting his old school.2．How might they attract new clients?A．By raising labor rates.B．By offering discounts and coupons.C．By cutting overall costs.D．By highlighting the value of services. 3．What is the purpose of the text?A．To offer information.B．To seek advice.C．To show advantages.D．To find cooperation.BThere was no way to escape when they spotted a polar bear.Verena Mohaupt and a handful of colleagues were trapped on a floating sea ice while the bear gazed at them,smelling the air,a dangerous sign.“That’s when everything kicks in,”Mohaupt says,“and you focus on what’s important.”As a colleague fired into the sky as a warning shot,Mohaupt radioed their research ship a few kilometres away,whose helicopter luckily arrived quickly and Mohaupt didn’t have to use the gun that was hanging over her shoulder.Keeping a lookout for bears was a regular duty for Mohaupt,the logistics coordinator(后勤协调员)for a year-long mission known as the MOSAiC——the largest Arctic research exploration in history.The project,consisting of roughly300scientists,led by scientist MarkusRex,has collected massive measurements that will help better forecast how warming will transform the globe in the coming decades.For months,the exploration operated in constant darkness while polar bears wandered nearby,storms rocked the ship and the ice shifted and cracked.Then,when the Sun returned,the ice began to melt,creating a life-threatening risk and a nightmare for researchers who needed to keep their instruments from sinking.Tasked with the security of the mission,Mohaupt designed an extensive training course for the participants in which they learnt how to avoid the danger,like storm-rocking and ice-cracking. They jumped into a Norwegian channel in their survival suits and climbed out of the freezing waters using only their ice picks.They learnt how to escape from a crashed helicopter.And they discussed the psychological effects of being far from home.Mohaupt brought knitting equipment, yoga mats and a violin for their men tal health——although having been prepared for the isolation.Mohaupt didn’t expect a career in polar regions,but says she has always been drawn to the north.“She was there to make sure that we were protected,”says Markus Rex,“Mohaupt iscertainly the champion in the field.”4．Why does the author mention a polar bear in the beginning?A．To show the threat of bears.B．To tell an interesting story.C．To introduce Mohaupt’s job.D．To describe the polar scenery.5．What can we know from paragraph3?A．The working conditions were tough.B．Mohaupt helped to collect massive data. C．The exploration went on in total darkness.D．Mohaupt’s duty was to protect polar bears. 6．Which of the following best describes Mohaupt?A．Ambitious and brave.B．Passionate and dependent. C．Considerate and modest.D．Professional and responsible.7．What is a suitable title for the text?A．A Potential Danger in the Exploration.B．A Guardian Angel of Polar Researchers. C．A Great Scientific Exploration in History.D．A Great Female Scientist in Polar Research.CChances are you’ve heard the phrase“like a moth to a flame”——and probably seen it in action at a nighttime fire or barbecue,too.It turns out,however,this age-old saying may not be quite right.Rather than being attracted to light,moths’tendency to fly toward brightness is a behavioral response to help them determine which way is up,suggests a new study published in the journal Nature Communications.To avoid falling down to the ground,insects need to know which way is up,says study coauthor Yash Sondhi,a National Geographic Explorer.Without systems to maintain spatial(空间的)orientation,the brightness of the sky,even at night,has always been a strong indicator of “up”——until artificial lights came along.If they mess that up,they start plummeting.Sondhi and a team of researchers set up experiments to investigate how different lights influence flight behavior.First,the researchers suspended a light bulb from a rope between two trees——resembling a typical downward-pointing light——and in a separate test,they turned the light upward by mounting it on a tripod(三脚架).In both cases,insects leaned their winged backs to the bulb.But when the light was pointed up,the insects often bumped to the ground.What if the light is spread over a wide area?The researchers stretched a large white sheetacross the tree and projected a UV light on it.If the insects were truly“attracted”to the light,they should fly up toward it.Instead,the insects cruised(巡航)straight through this illuminated corridor,flying how they would during the day.The team then placed the sheet on the ground and shined the light on it,which is when something truly odd happened:All these moths flying over it turned upside down and crashed out of the sky.Directionality of light is a huge factor in the pattern we have seen,not just brightness or color.“Artificial lights may cause a mismatch between the insect’s sense of which way is up and true direction of gravity,which spells trouble for insects population.”says Sondhi.8．What can be inferred about“like a moth to a flame”in the new study?A．A moth is generally attracted by a flame.B．Artificial lights are valuable for a moth. C．Brightness indicates up for a moth.D．A moth has a sense of direction. 9．What does the underlined word“plummeting”in paragraph2mean?A．Crashing.B．Speeding.C．Freezing.D．Suspending. 10．What lights influence insects most in the experiments?A．UV lights on the tree.B．Upward-pointing lights. C．Downward-pointing lights.D．Lights of different colors.11．What is Sondhi’s attitude toward artificial lights?A．Concerned.B．Dismissive.C．Doubtful.D．Neutral.DWould you rather watch a new movie,or an old favorite?Would you rather try a dish you’ve never had at a restaurant,or stick with something you know you’ll like?Researchers studying the “mere exposure effect”have found that we often prefer the familiar over the novel.People didn’t need to experience a reward or positive outcome while around the object—simply being exposed to the object would be enough to make people like it.To test this, social psychologist Robert Zajonc had participants read words in a foreign language out loud and varied how often participants read each word(up to25repetitions).Next,after reading the words, participants were asked to guess at the meaning of each word by filling out a rating scale (indicating how positive or negative they thought the meaning of the word was).He found that participants liked words that they had said more often,while words thatparticipants hadn’t read at all were rated more negatively,and words that had been read25times were rated highest.Just the me re exposure to the word was enough to make participant s like it more.One place where the me re exposure effect occurs is in advertising.It explains why seeing the same advertisement multiple times could be more convincing than just seeing it once.Of course, there’s a caution here:the me re exposure effect doesn’t happen for things we initially dislike. Researchers have found that our liking for a variety of things(including pictures,sounds,foods, and smells)can be increased with repeated exposure,suggesting that the mere exposure effect isn’t limited to just one of our senses.Additionally,researchers have found that the me re exposure effect occurs in studies with human research participants as well as in studies with non-human animals.Another key finding from this analysis was that participants eventually started to like object s less after many repeated exposures.In other words,a smaller number of repeated exposures will make you like something more——but,if the repeated exposures continue,you could eventually get tired of it.12．What is the key factor in Robert Zajonc’s test?A．Frequency.B．Preference.C．Originality.D．Achievement. 13．Which of the following is an example of mere-exposure effect?A．We favor an advertisement at the first sight.B．A student joined in the club because of love.C．We are more convinced of what we met before.D．A student read as many English words as possible.14．What can we learn about“mere exposure effect”according to paragraph4?A．It is the result of advertising.B．It has nothing to do with animals.C．It is true of what we dislike at first.D．It can be applied to multiple senses. 15．What is the text mainly about?A．More love because of more exposures.B．The study on mere exposure effect. C．Better results from the earlier exposures.D．The application of mere exposure effect.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

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

I was young and inexperienced, and had class after class of twenty kids just waiting for me to make a mistake.After a particularly long night of grading papers and thinking about how many weeks I'd left until I could breathe. I had one of those mornings when I began to question my job choice. I'd become a teacher to help kids. Instead, I felt like I couldn't even help myself any more. It was just Mother's Day, and as I sat at my desk surrounded by lesson plans, I wondered how I'd ever have enough energy to have children of my own.That was when I heard a knock at my door. One of my students came in----the cool basketball-playing country boy who had accidentally broken my favorite snow globe so that I couldn't display nice things in my classroom. He handed me a large flower that probably came from his family's farm. He'd stuck a bird feather in it.“I got you a Mother's Day gift.” he said in a low voice. Most middle school and high school teachers don't receive presents. Christmas and Teacher Appreciation Day had already come and gone without any gifts. I was so shocked that I just stared.Made nervous by my silence, he said. "You know... since you're like a mother to us and all that, I thought you should get a present, too."I smiled and told him he was the sweetest person in the entire world, and that I just loved it. Based on his smile，I knew I'd done an adequate job of making him feel quite proud of himself. What possessed that twelve-year-old to bring me a homemade present? I'll never know. Once heleft the room, I locked the door. And I cried. That moment took me through the rest of the school year and several more.25. What did the author think of her job as a teacher at the beginning?A. Interesting.B. Rewarding.C. Exhausting.D. Demanding.26. How did the boy feel when he gave his teacher the present?A. Excited.B. Shocked.C. Unwilling.D. Shy.27. How did the author react the moment she was given the flower?A. She was moved to tears.B. She didn't accept the present.C. She stared at the boy in puzzlement.D. She was too surprised to say anything.28. Which of the following encourages the author to continue teaching?A. Her positive attitude to life.B. The sincere love from students.C. Her strong interest in teaching.D. The achievements in her work.CHave you ever read a comic book(连环漫画册) before? I imagine just about everyone, at sometime in their life, has read at least one comic book. But do your interests and enjoyment level go beyond that? You may have said to yourself. at sometime or another, I would like to start a comic book collection some day. Heck, you may even have several comic books lying around that you have just never organized.What do you need to start a comic book collection? Well, as I am sure you realize, you need to start with a passion(热爱). I couldn't get enough of these colorful action-packed little devils when I was young. But like any supposedly responsible individual, I laid my passion aside when I got older and when I got a good job. Well in the last several months, I have rekindled(重新激起) that childhood passion and have spent a good share of my time researching and creating my own comic book website. And what a rush it has been reintroducing myself to myself. I know there are lots of people with my same interests and I hope to connect with many of them through my website.I ran into a major thrill the other day glancing through the ads of my local newspaper. Someone was selling a comic book collection. A quick call and a meeting in the shopping mall and I was the proud owner of 189 comic books kept in beautiful condition. It cost me $500 for the whole collection, but I believe the actual worth has got to be more than what I paid for it.When you start your collection, you will need to start thinking about sources to purchase your comic books from. You will want to start learning about comic book supplies to help preserve and organize your magazines. You will want to learn how the rest of the industry goes about grading physical condition and what your individual comics are worth. Personally, though, I believe some of the greatest worth in a comic book is what it means to you and the enjoyment you receive from owning these little pieces of art.28. What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Reading comic books.B. Reading for enjoyment.C. Collecting comic books.D. Buying comic books.29. What do we know about the author's comic book collection in his childhood?A. He collected comic books to get a good job.B. He created a comic book website of his own.C. He wanted to get as many comic books as possible.D. He was responsible for comic book collection.30. How did the author get the 189 comic books?A. By calling the shopping mall.B. By getting in touch with the owner.C. By putting an ad in the paper.D. By attending a meeting.31. What is the author's main purpose in wring the text?A. To find lots of people with the same interests.B. To get more comic books for his collection.C. To give advice about starting a comic book collection.D. To share his experiences of collecting comic books.DIt's normal for teens to want to stay connected to friends and social circles, but in the middle of the night? The January 2017 Journal of Youth Studies recently published new research indicating that one in five teens from 12 to 15 regularly wake during the night to have some form of social media. Not surprisingly, the research also indicated that these social night owls were three times more likely than their friends to feel tired at school and that girls were more likely than boys to be called to office.The blue light produced by cell phones, tablets, and computers signal the brain to stay awake, so it's easy to see why a teen might be up all night. A 2016 study in Psychological Science noted the same brain circuits activated (激活) by eating chocolate and winning money were activated when teens saw large numbers of "likes" on their posts or those of their peers.Besides not catching enough snaps, by interrupting their sleep cycle, teens may never fully engage in REM sleep, the deepest stage of sleep that may be responsible for brain development and learning.Considering about 72 percent of children from 6 to 17 sleep with some electronic media in their bedrooms, parents need to set boundaries sooner rather than later."Providing access to devices and thus to social media is a favor that children can earn and also lose," Janie Feldman, a psychologist who treats sleep disorders, reminds parents,“Temporarily removing favors can have an important impact so long as the means of earning back the favors is clear. Teens and parents should discuss and agree upon terms of use, timing, and access. Teenagers are most cooperative when they agree to the rules, so including them in defining rules makes for very ef fective parenting.”32.
