When 19-year old Alice Dickinson found out her father had cancer, her 1 was a little different than you might expect. To honor her father, who she also describes as her best friend, she decided to start a book drive called For Love, 2 books for kids with cancer.“It was very much an overnight idea,” she explains. “I posted a message on an app asking my neighbors for used book donations. I was only expecting a few here and there, but the response was truly 3 and it was just the push I needed to co-exist with my sadness rather than letting it 4 me.”“It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch my dad 5 cancer and see him lose a little bit of himself each day, but the book drive allowed me to 6 a newfound sense of purpose mixed with an even greater sense ofsympathy and desire to help others. I wanted to help 7 . They’ve always held a soft spot in my heart.”Using the 8 she earns from working at her parents’ bread shop, Alice has bought many books out of her own pocket. In addition, she receives donations through her online wishlist. Alice spent a whole summer driving around town, loading boxes of books into her car. “It was such a unique experience to know people had carried these books all their lives through generations, and they wanted to 9 them to my cause.”The project has seen a huge 10 , with For Love donating over 15,000 books and being widely recognized by the media.1．A．suffering B．explanation C．response D．treatment 2．A．writing B．promoting C．reading D．collecting 3．A．appropriate B．incredible C．familiar D．immediate 4．A．excuse B．consume C．dismiss D．touch5．A．throw off B．keep from C．look into D．go through 6．A．evaluate B．develop C．regain D．provide7．A．kids B．neighbors C．friends D．parents3．A．credit B．interest C．awards D．tips9．A．gift B．lend C．submit D．mail10．A．market B．profit C．success D．demand第二节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分）阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。

广东省华南师范大学附属中学2022-2023学年高三上学期综合测试英语试题一
广东省华南师范大学附属中学2022-2023学年高三上学期综合测试英语试题一学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Do you remember the first stop-motion movie, with a galloping(飞奔)horse? Eadweard Muybridge made it in 1872, and the funny thing is—the first stop-motion movie was made because of a bet. The question was: do all four of the horse’s hooves (蹄)leave the ground at the same time at any point of the gallop? And Leland Stanford, the founder of the Stanford University, hired Muybridge to help him settle the bet.Stanford claimed that, at some point of the gallop, all four of the horse’s hooves are in the air. Some of his colleagues took a common stand that one foot is always on the ground. It was a popularly debated question of the time, and it was Muybridge’s task to provide the answer using his photographic knowledge.Now, you can imagine that cameras in 1872 couldn’t really capture the things moving quickly. Movie cameras still didn’t exist, so it was out of the question. So, Muybridge had to get creative. He experimented with a set of 12 cameras. He used them to photograph a galloping horse in a series of shots. His initial efforts seemed to prove that Stanford was right, but he still didn’t have the process perfected.In 1878, Muybridge raised his creativity and skill on a new level. He set twelve wired triggers (触发器) connected to shutters (快门) for cameras. He placed them evenly along the race track to capture the galloping horse. As the horse galloped the race track, it set off the triggers and made every camera take a photo with less than half a second difference.The photos showed that Leland Stanford was right, and obviously, he won the bet. But this invention was a winning situation for all of us. Muybridge later invented a zoopraxiscope, which was a bit like the GIFs that people now post on social media and is considered an early device for displaying motion pictures. Thanks to photography and his invention, the cinema was born.1．Which of the following words best describes the invention of the first stop-motion movie? A．Difficult.B．Unexpected.C．Serious.D．Interesting.2．Why did Muybridge have to be creative?A．Because he was lacking in devices.B．Because he was afraid of failure.C．Because he was short of experience.D．Because he was interested in experiment.3．What can we know about Muybridge’s experiment?A．Twelve horses galloped at the same time.B．Muybridge invented GIF in the experiment.C．One camera was used to take photos in the first attempt.D．The triggers were set off by the horse in the second attempt.4．What is the best title for the article?A．A special history of cinema.B．A popular study about horses.C．A bet inspired the birth of cinema.D．A question led to great experiments.A character in one of Shakespeare’s plays once said, “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” Any of these could apply to the modern-day sportsmen. Many still argue about the nature of talent. Some claim that people are born to be sportsmen, while others say it is only through devotion and hard work that they achieve their abilities. Arguably though, it is not until their talents are acknowledged (认可) by the public that they truly have greatness fallen upon them.With this acknowledgement of their “greatness” come all the trappings of modern-day celebrity: money, power, influence and responsibility. For better or for worse, like it or hate it, modern sportsmen are the role models of children everywhere. These children will grow up admiring their heroes, devoting their lives to copying their every move, and wanting above all to be like them. Due to this fascination, particularly with the massive influence of the media, it is more important than ever for these sportsmen to acknowledge their responsibility.In the past few months alone, there have been many examples of questionable behaviors from sports stars of the present day. They are often mirroring the very worst aspects of society, a fact that the self-righteous (自以为是的) anger of the modern press has been quick to point out. It would be wrong for us to expect sportsmen to be perfect. It would also be wrong for us to think that their behavior is markedly different from the sportsmen they grew up watching, but with the all-seeing eye of modern media it is a different world, and different standards must be expected.Of course, there is no duty for sportsmen to be good role models. There are no prison sentences, no fines, no community service—unless their behaviors are illegal. Unless they break the law, it is entirely up to them as to whether or not they think their behavior is appropriate. Furthermore, measuring the true influence their decisions have on their followers is absolutely impossible. Some will rise against their idols, seeing them in a new light and criticizing their actions. Others may copy their heroes’ actions, using them as a shield when accused of the same crimes.It is without doubt that the actions of sportsmen will influence the lives of those who worship them. Modern day sportsmen are almost ideals of today’s world, and their actions are watched carefully by millions over the world. Some may complain against it, denying their influence on these children’s lives. Others may be aware of it but not respect it, while many may both be aware of it and respect it. In a word, you do not choose whether you are a role model. All you can do is to decide how to act when greatness is thrust upon you.5．In Paragraph 1, the author tries to emphasize ______.A．sportsmen become great when their gifts are recognized by peopleB．sportsmen achieve greatness through their devotion and effortsC．different ways for sportsmen to achieve success and greatnessD．the core characteristic to become great sportsmen nowadays6．According to Paragraph 4, we can learn that ______.A．role models usually have positive influence on their fansB．sportsmen have the right to behave freely within the lawC．all the fans will follow their heroes’ actionsD．no duty is given to sportsmen7．The underlined phrase thrust upon in paragraph 1 most probably means ______.A．put off B．removed from C．related to D．forced on 8．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To advise the media to choose proper events to report.B．To inform the public that sportsmen are no role models.C．To remind the sportsmen of their social responsibilities.D．To argue that sportsmen should not be expected as heroes.Washing clothes by hand sounds like a simple task, but for many women around theworld it can do harm to their well-being and living. What would you do with your time if you could spend less time washing your clothes? “Paid work,” replied Aleas, a 49-year-old woman from a family of 10 with no access to an electric washing machine. She spent 8-12 hours every week washing everyone’s clothes by hand and described how the required body position of sitting on her feet caused her back pain.Washing Machine Project provides low-income communities with an accessible washing solution. Its task is to help women save the time to take charge of their lives. “A mother or a child doesn’t have to spend 20 hours a week washing clothes by hand,” said Nav Sawhney, an engineering student at University of Bath in the UK.Sawhney has created a movable washing machine that is operated by hand. He came up with the idea when Divya, a woman he met in southern India, explained the struggle of washing clothes without a machine. This burden is often shouldered by women and girls in many developing countries. Now, Sawhney’s washing machines, which he named Divya after the woman, could greatly reduce the time of washing clothes and allow women and young girls to receive education and have paid work.After research in Iraq, Lebanon, the Philippines and Jordan, as well as India, Sawhney came up with a machine that uses only 10 liters of water every time, compared with 30 by a typical electric machine, extremely important in places where water is short. It’s also made out of things that are easy to get and replace, which means it doesn’t need much money to make it. Sawhney and his volunteers won the support of University of Bath, and already received orders from Kenya, Nigeria and Uganda.9．What does washing clothes by hand mean to Aleas?A．A hard way of making a living.B．A simple method of killing time.C．The tiring housework she has to do.D．The family duty she volunteers to do.10．Why was the washing machine named after Divya?A．She inspired the invention.B．She helped with the design.C．She was the first to order it.D．She thought up the idea first. 11．What can we learn about the washing machine “Divya”?A．It is cheap and water-saving.B．It is mainly promoted in India.C．It is shared by a community.D．It is free to use.12．What is the main purpose of Sawhney’s washing machines?A．To develop the market in developing countries.B．To reduce women’s burden in low-income areas.C．To take the place of traditional washing machines.D．To wash clothes in an environmentally-friendly way.Quantum (量子) computers have been on my mind a lot lately. A friend has been sending me articles on how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest challenges we face as humans. I’ve also had exchanges with two quantum-computing experts. One is computer scientist Chris Johnson who I see as someone who helps keep the field honest. The other is physicist Philip Taylor.For decades, quantum computing has been little more than a laboratory curiosity. Now, big tech companies have invested in quantum computing, as have many smaller ones. According to Business Weekly, quantum machines could help us “cure cancer, and even take steps to tun climate change in the opposite direction.” This is the sort of hype (炒作) that annoys Johnson. He worries that researchers are making promises they can’t keep." What’s new,” Johnson wrote, “is that millions of dollars are now potentially available to quantum computing researchers.”As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding, researchers may mislead investors, journalists, the public and, worst of all, themselves about their work’s potential. If researchers can’t keep their promises, excitement might give way to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns. Lots of other technologies have gone through stages of excitement. But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “quantum” stands for something cool you shouldn’t be able to understand. And that brings me back to Taylor, who suggested that I read his book Q for Quantum.After I read the book, Taylor patiently answered my questions about it. He also answered my questions about PyQuantum, the firm he co-founded in 2016.Taylor shares Johnson’s concerns about hype. but he says those concerns do not apply to PyQuantum.The company, he says, is closer than any other firm “by a very large margin (幅度)”to building a “useful” quantum computer, one that “solves an impactful problem that we would not have been able to solve otherwise.” He adds, “People will naturally discount my opinions,but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we are doing with others.”Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition“ by a wide margin”, as Taylor claims? I don’t know. I’m certainly not going to advise my friend or anyone else to invest in quantum computers. But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.13．How does the author feels about Tobnson’s concerns?A．Approving.B．Unconcerned C．Doubtful.D．Excited. 14．What leads to Taylor’s optimism about quantum computing?A．His dominance in physics.B．The competition in the field.C．His confidence in PyQuantum.D．The investment of tech companies. 15．What does the underlined word “prone” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Open.B．Cool.C．Useful.D．Resistant. 16．Which would be the best tide for the passage?A．Is Johnson More Competent Than Taylor?B．Is Quantum Computing Redefining Technology?C．Will Quantum Computers Ever Come into Being?D．Will Quantun Computing Ever Live Up to Its Hype?二、七选五Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. ____17____ Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.____18____ Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious when they’re in poorly lit places — and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. ____19____ In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.____20____ People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to makedinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. ____21____ We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tail, skinny glass.A．Slow down while cooking.B．Don’t forget the clock or the radio.C．Open the curtains and turn up the lights.D．Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.E．Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.F．They depend on how much time you spend designing.G．You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.三、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

AClose your eyes for a minute and imagine what life would be like if you had a hundred dollars less. Also imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with your eyes closed. Imagine having to read this page, not with your eyes but with your finger-tips.With existing medical knowledge and skills, two-thirds of the world’s 42 million blind should not have to suffer. Unfortunately, rich countries possess most of this knowledge, while developing countries do not.ORBIS is an international non-profit organization which operates the world’s only flying teaching eye hospital. ORBIS intends to help fight blindness worldwide. Inside a DC-8 aircraft, there is a fully-equipped teaching hospital with television studio and classroom. Doctors are taught the latest techniques of bringing sight back to people there. Project ORBIS also aims at promoting peaceful cooperation among countries.ORBIS tries to help developing countries by providing training during three-week medical programs. ORBIS has taught sight-saving techniques to over 35,000 doctors and nurses, who continue to cure tens of thousands of blind people every year. ORBIS has conducted 17 plane programs in China so far. For the seven to ten million blind in China ORBIS is planning to do more for them. At the moment an ORBIS is working on a long-term plan to develop a training center and to provide eye care services to Shanxi Province.ORBIS needs your help to continue their work and free people from blindness.For just US$38,you can help one person see; for $380 you can bring sight to 10 people; $1,300 helps teach a doctor new skills; and for $13,000 you can provide a training programme for a group of doctors who can make thousands of blind people see again.Your money can open their eyes to the world.Please help ORBIS improve the quality of life for so many people less fortunate than ourselves.21.ORRIS aims to help the blind by ______.A.teaching medical studentsB.training doctors and nursesC.running flying hospitals globallyD. setting upnon-profit organization22.What does the author try to do in the last paragraph?A.Appeal for donationsB.Make an advertisementC. Promote training programsD.Show sympathy for the blind23.What can be the best title for the passage?A.ORRIS in ChinaB.Fighting BlindnessC.ORRIS Flying HospitalD.Sight-seeing TechniquesBPerhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.Real riches c onsist of welldeveloped and hearty capac ities(能力) to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much.They_live_in_too_big_a_house_with_too_many_rooms,_yet_their_house_of _life_is_a_hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion(豪宅), a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go towards making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.24．The author intends to tell us that________．A．true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB．big houses are people's most valued possessionsC．big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD．true happiness comes from spiritual riches25．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that________．A．however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB．however materially rich, they remain spiritually poorC．though their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeD．though their house is big, it seems to be a cage26．It can be learned from the passage that ________．A．more money brings more happinessB．art is needed to make your house beautifulC．literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD．sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness27．What would be the best title for the passage?A．House of life B．Secret of wealthC．Rest and refreshment D．Interest and enthusiasm C(Q＝Question；A＝Answer)Situation ⅠQ：If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theatre，is it rude to move?A：Maybe，but nobody will fault you for it.Chances are that the close sitter doesn't realize he disturbs you，so he may miss your annoyance.You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs enoughroom.Forgive his bad judgement，move quietly and enjoy the show.Situation ⅡQ：If I use the bathroom at a store，do I need to buy something?A：Consider frequency and urgency.Is this a onetime thing or an emergency？If so，you don't have to buy anything，but it would be kind if you did.However，if you regularly use the bathroom at this place，then you are a customer，and you should act like one.Situation ⅢQ：If someone is talking loudly on the bus，is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A：No.Try other means：1)Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down.2)Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作) and smile.3)Put on earphones and ignore him.Situation ⅣQ：If I remember my friend's birthday a day late，should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?A：This is the reason why the word belated was invented.“Happy belated birthday！” is short for“Well，I know I forgot，but then I remembered.Forgive me and happy birthday.”Situation ⅤQ：Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?A：Don't lie.Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it.Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve？“Yes，”you can say if ever asked，“I saw it.” No explanation is needed as to whyyou don't respond.28．You will get annoyed in a theatre when ________.A．a person is too activeB．a person is too rude to youC．a person talks too loudlyD．a person sits too close to you29．How will you quiet someone down in a public place?A．By making fun of him continuously.B．By looking purposefully at him.C．By talking to him directly.D．By pointing angrily at him.30．The underlined word “belated” in Situation Ⅳ probably means ________.A．predicted B．returnedC．cancelled D．delayed31．What is the passage mainly about?A．Modern ways to mind your manners.B．Different ways to change others' manners.C．Proper manners to offer help to others.D．Good manners to talk to people.DMillions of families around the world have been given a helping hand out of poverty by micro-credits. These very small loans, usually less than US$200, have enabled the very poorest people to set up or expand businesses and become self-sufficient.The micro-credit movement started with Professor Muhammad Yunus, who founded the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh. Professor Yunus, who won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, used his own money to set up a bank to benefit the poorest people in Bangladesh—families living on less than US$1 a day. There are now hundreds of organizations around the world following his blueprint to help people escape from poverty.So how does the system work? Local microfinance institutions (MFIs) make contact with families and offer loans, usually to women, to enable them to start or expand a business. These are very poor people who would not normally be able to get credit, but as no collateral (抵押品) is required they can get micro-credits. They pay back the loan on a weekly basis, over six months to a year.A crucial aspect to the success of the micro-credit system is that receivers get local support. The MFIs educate local communities about ways to improve their lives, and offer practical support as well as collecting weekly loans payments. They encourage people to help each other, so that the whole community can pull itself out of poverty. MFIs may also help with literacy and health problems.Micro-credits are mainly given to women. Experience has shown that womenare more motivated to improve their children’s lives and will spend the money they make on better nutrition and schooling for their children. This may be the first cha nce they’ve had to contribute financially to the family, and their status in the home and the local community is raised.The micro-credit system is not charity. The payments are fixed-term loans and interest is charged. The costs of making such small loans, collecting them and giving personal support are high. This is reflected in the interest rates, which range from 15 to 35 percent. Despite this, the repayment rate is very high, between 95 and 98 percent, showing that micro-credit clients really value this opportunity to leave poverty behind.32. Micro-credits are offered to the poorest people around the world in order to ________.A. make profits out of the poorB. support poor people out of povertyC. establish more micro-credit institutionsD. promote the development of world economy33. Why are bank loans mainly made to women?A. Because they make more financial contribution to the family.B. Because they hold higher status in the home and community.C. Because they are more reliable and likely to repay the loan.D. Because they are more likely to spend the profits on their children.34. The high repayment rate of the loan suggests that ________.A. people do hope to take advantage of the loan to get out of povertyB. it is easy to make money with the aid of micro-creditsC. micro-credits are very popular with poor familiesD. most micro-credit clients keep their promises well35. The passage is most probably taken from the ________ section of a magazine.A. HealthB. BusinessC. FinanceD. Education 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AChoose Your One-Day Tours!Tour A—Bath & Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge—￡37 until 26 March and ￡39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum. Stonehenge is one of the world’s most famous prehistoric monuments dating back over 5,000 years.Tour B—Oxford & Stratford including entrance fees to the University St Mary’s Church Tower and Anne Hathaway’s house—￡32 until 12 March and ￡36 thereafter.Oxford: Includes a guided tour of England’s oldest university city and colleges. Look over the “city of dreaming spires (尖顶)” from St Mary’s Church Tower.Stratford: Includes a guided tour exploring much of the Shakespeare wonder.Tour C—Windsor Castle & Hampton Court including entrance fees to Hampton Court Palace—￡34 until 11 March and ￡37 thereafter.Includes a guided tour of Windsor and Hampton Court, Henry VIII’s favourite palace. Free time to visit Windsor Castle (entrance fees not included). With 500 years of history, Hampton Court was once the home of four Kings and one Queen. Now this former royal palace is open to the public as a major tourist attraction. Visit the palace and its various historic gardens, which include the famous maze (迷宫) where it is easy to get lost!Tour D—Cambridge including entrance fees to the Tower of Saint Mary the Great—￡33 until 18 March and ￡37 thereafter.Includes a guided tour of Cambridge, the famous university town, and the gardens of the 18th century.1. Which tour will you choose if you want to see England's oldest university city?A. Tour A.B. Tour B.C. Tour C.D. Tour D.2. Which of the following tours charges the lowest fee on 17 March?A. Cambridge.B. Oxford & Stratford.C. Bath & Stonehenge.D. Windsor Castle & Hampton Court.3. Why is Hampton Court a major tourist attraction?A. It is a world-famous castle.B. It is the oldest palace in Britain.C. It used to be a well-known maze.D. It used to be the residence of royal families.BThey talk about the straw that broke the camel’s back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.I was going along fine—with instant recall of my bank PIN (密码), my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin’s birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “IHateHeartlessOilCompanies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as I added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn’t write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people’s names. You know, you form an association between a person’s characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George, Skinny George” in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer’s greatest hits, together with the year of their release.Maybe I’ll try that one out—but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I’ll hide it in a place so secret that I’ll never remember where it is.4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?A. He fell for a marketing trick.B. He was driven mad by passwords.C. He had a serious memory disorder.D. He was rejected by the gas station.5. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, the author intends to .A. show how secure his passwords wereB. challenge the intelligence of scientistsC. prove the uselessness of his passwordsD. promote a more scientific password system6. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To encourage readers to use password notebooks.B. To recommend a password-remembering method.C. To complain about the trouble caused by passwords.D. To point out the importance of using complex passwords.7. What is the tone of the text?A. Inspiring.B. Indifferent.C. Humorous.D. Serious.CNew technologies tend to cause a cycle of concern, disorder, and conflict before eventually being accepted. Recent writings about artificial intelligence (AI) and other advances in computer science suggest that we are preparing to welcome the final stage of this latest round of invention.The Last Human Job, sociologist Allison Pugh’s new book centered on caregiving and human connection in the age of automation, warns readers against unreserved acceptance of these technological advances, citing “connective labor” as valuable human work that will not be easily replaced by algorithms (算法). “Absent from discussions about Al and automation,” Pugh argues, “is the impact that these systems might have on the emotional understandings we build of ourselves and others.”Pugh sets the stage by arguing for the value of human connection and the importance of both seeing and being seen by others. “Practitioners (从业者) said they gained a sense of purpose simply from the opportunity of observing people at their most defenseless,” she observes. She then provides a summary of how care work is being increasingly automated, showing how quantification and measurement have taken over many aspects of human-facing jobs, leaving little room for doctors, teachers, and others to build connection.“When one goes to a doctor or a teacher, the encounter is full of the potential for shame, a risk that makes it all the more powerful when practitioners show empathetic (同理心的) reflection,” writes Pugh. In Chapter Eight, she explains how such interactions can be done right. Research conducted by herself and others identifies three key aspects supporting connective labor: “relational design,” or how people are set up to interact with one another; “connective culture,” or shared practices and beliefs that influence how people interact; and “resource distribution,” which includes time given for interaction, worker-to-client rates, and the extent of technology and data use, among other factors.Pugh concludes by arguing that we need a social movement for connection. “We need to fight for what we might call our ‘social health’,” she maintains.8. What is the main concern of Allison Pugh’s new book?A. The impact of AI on future employment.B. The approach to living and working with AI.C. The increasing role of technology in caregiving.D. The value of connective labor in the age of automation.9. Why does the author mention “practitioners” in paragraph 3?A. To explain how to do care work.B. To argue against the automation technology.C. To prove the significance of human connection.D. To discuss the challenges of privacy in caregiving.10. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The encounter.B. The shame.C. The risk.D. The potential.11. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The overview of Chapter Eight.B. The effective way to interact.C. The new trend of caregiving.D. The factors of avoiding shame.DAs cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you’re lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding (编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant’s experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach”and “listening to waves.”Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.“We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn,a senior author of the study.12. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?A. Pocket parks are now popular.B. Many cities are overpopulated.C. Wild nature is hard to find in cities.D. People enjoy living close to nature.13. Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?A. To analyze the main features of the park.B. To explain why the park attracts tourists.C. To compare different types of park-goers.D. To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries.14. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5?A. Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.B. Young people are too busy to interact with nature.C. The same nature experience takes different forms.D. The nature language enhances work performance.15. What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn?A. Language study.B. Environmental conservation.C. Public education.D. Intercultural communication.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。

Working with them as they improved taught me new ways to show forgiveness, understanding, and patience.One day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that David was a little shy, did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews. He requested that I give David an interview just for practice. He plainly told David that I had no positions open at the time and the interview was just for practice.When David came in for the interview, he hardly said a word. I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him around. I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in an associate was dependability.David was very quiet ( he was evaluated as a slow learner in school). Every ten days or so, for weeks after the interview, David walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door. He never said a word, just stood by the door.One day, shortly before Christmas, a large truck came to the shop, packed with 250 new bicycles. It had to be unloaded right away or the driver would leave.It was raining. Some of my workers (without physical limitations) chose not to brave the weather to get into work, so I was short-handed. It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it, David came in the front door and just stood there. I looked at him and shouted, “Well, all right! Fill out a time card and help me unload this truck!”David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He came to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk; however, he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries. The customers would praise David, saying, “He doesn’t talk, but he really shows you how to operatea lawn mo wer!”24.The author gave David an interview to _______A. find a person who is reliableB. find a part-time worker in needC. give him some practiceD. show sympathy for him25.The author finally hired David because________A. there were no other workers in the shop thenB. he needed someone who was willing to work thenC.

David has had his character changed through workC. the author prefers David to be more outgoingD. the author feels lucky to hire David27.The author’s tone in describing David is full of ______A. pityB. wonderC. disappointmentD. appreciationCWhat happens inside the skull of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball? That question motivated a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players, and some anxiety among those of us with soccer-playing children.For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34 adults, men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions (脑震荡) in the past.Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complicated new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can’t be seen during most scans.According to the data they presented at a Radiological Society of North America meeting last month, the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times.This pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen in traumatic (外伤的) brain injury”, like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported, even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.28. The passage is most probably a______.A. news reportB. research reportC. story for soccer playersD. text for doctors29. In which way can we find the structural changes in the brain?A. Computerized test.B. Questionnaire..C. Scanning.D. M.R.I. technique.30. From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have_____.A. significant effect on brainB. little effect on one’s brainC. nothing to do with the brain injuryD. one’s memory improved31. The underlined word "fumbling" is closest in meaning to______.A. rememberingB. misunderstandingC. recallingD. missingDJimmy is an automotive mechanic，but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart，but always feared applying for a new job.One day，he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8：30.While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed，he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car，the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need，and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said，“Well，I could take you to the office for your interview. It's the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.Upon arrival，Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair，but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one，the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth，he asked，“Do you really need to be interviewed？” Jimmy's heart sank.“With the way I look now，how could I possibly pass this interview？” he thought to himself.Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise，it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting，but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you'd be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations！” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.32．Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A．He was out of work.B．He was bored with his job.C．He wanted a higher position.D．He hoped to find a better boss.33．What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?A．A friend's car had a flat tyre.B．A wild man was pushing a car.C．A terrible car accident happened.D．An old man's car broke down.34．Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?A．He was also to be interviewed.B．He needed a travelling companion.C．He always helped people in need.D．He was thankful to Jimmy.35．How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer's question? A．He was sorry for the other applicants.B．There was no hope for him to get the job.C．He regretted helping the old man.D．The interviewer was very rude.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AA few books recommended by Bill GatesReading is my favorite way to indulge （放纵）my desire to know the world. Although I get to meet with a lot of interesting people and visit fascinating places through my work, I still think books are the best way to explore new topics that interest you. Here are four amazing books I read recently:Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City, by Matthew Desmond. If you want a good understanding of how the issues that cause poverty are twisted （交织）together, you should read this book. Desmond gave me a better sense of what it is like to be poor in this country than anything else I have read.Energy and Civilization: A History, by Vaclav Smil. Smil is one of my favorite authors, and this is his most famous book. He presents clearly how our need for energy has shaped human history. It's not the easiest book to read, but at the end you'll feel smarter and better informed about how energy innovation changes the course of civilizations.The Best We Could Do, by Thi Bui. This novel explores what it means to be a parent and a refugee （难民）.The author's family fled Vietnam in 1978. After giving birth to her own child, she decides to learn more about her parents5 experiences of growing up in a country tom apart by foreign occupiers.Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death, and JazzChickens, by Eddie Izzard. Izzard's personal story in this book is attractive: he survived a difficult childhood and worked continuously to overcome his lack of natural talent and become an international star. If you're a huge fen of him like I am, you'll love this book. His written voice is very similar to his stage voice, and I found myself laughing out loud several times while reading it.1. What does Matthew Desmond try to explore?A. Different causes of poverty.B. The struggle of poor people.C. How to escape from poverty.D. Ways to live in a poor country.2. The book Energy and Civilization: A History fells into the category of.A. economyB. educationC. literatureD. history3.What do the last two books have in common?A. They are popular around the world.B. They are expected to inspire readers.C. They focus on lives of ordinary people.D. They are based on personal experiences.BOne dilemma that the super famous face is balancing the needs of privacy and recognition.For some stars privacy is an overvalued thing. In 1919, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford went on their European honeymoon. The two international idols had divorced their previous spouses （配偶）and were concerned about how they would be greeted. They needn't have worried. In London their car was surrounded by admiring women who pulled Mary out of the car to shake her hand, still grateful after two years for her efforts selling war bonds. In Paris they couldn't get any sleep with crowds gathering below their hotel room to sing and play for them. In Amsterdam they attended a party and were mobbed （包围）by other guests who wanted to get close to them. The athletic Fairbanks placed his wife on his shoulder and escaped through the window. Finally, they found privacy in Hamburg, where their movies were not shown because of World War I. For an hour the famous newly-married couple walked the streets unnoticed until the bored Mary turned to her husband and said, “Do ug, I'm sick of this. Let's go back to one of those countries where they mob us.”Joan Crawford had similar feelings. Once in the 1930s she was staying in New York getting over her breakup with Clark Gable. Tired of staying around her hotel feeling so down she told her entourage （随从）出ey should go out and get some fresh air. The entourage, who had trouble keeping up with the star's quick pace, were shocked when she walked away from their planned road. "Oh my God. She's going into Grand Central Station!" Someone shouted, “Look, it's Joan Crawford! And she was mobbed. It took them thirty minutes to escape the crowd and get back to their hotel suite. Her hair disheveled （凌乱），her dress tom and her face scratched, Crawford leaned against the door out of breath. "Oh.,. oh my. That was wonderful. Let's do it again!”4. What did Douglas and Mary worry about before going to Europe?A. Nobody would greet them.B. They wouldn't be welcomed.C. Their war bonds wouldn't sell well.D. Their schedule would be made public.5. What does Mary's words in the second paragraph suggest?A. Hamburg was too quiet a place for her.B. Her movies weren't shown in Hamburg.C. She fell ill after arriving in a new place.D, She didn't really enjoy privacy so much.6. What did Joan Crawford think of her being mobbed in New York?A. Amusing.B. Enjoyable.C. Dangerous.D. Embarrassing.7. The author tells stories about the movie stars to show that.A. they may feel down from time to timeB. they deserve people's love and respectC. they need both privacy and public attentionD. they are not always popular around the worldCThe next time your brain refuses to recall a simple fact or name, be thankful. That could be a sign that your brain is getting rid of unnecessary information so that it can operate more efficiently, and help you make better decisions.Researchers who study how the brain stores information find that when neurons （神经元）are connected to the hippocampus — a region of the brain that plays a significant role in learning and remembering - they overwrite （覆盖）old memories, making them harder to access.Why does the brain spend so much energy erasing memories? Researchers believe that forgetting old information makes the brain more efficient. In a 2016 study, a team of scientists taught a group of mice to locate a maze （迷宫）.The researchers erased the memories of some mice with drugs and moved the maze. The mice who still had memories of its original location had a harder time finding the new site than those that had no memory.Additionally, the team believes that keeping too much detail could prevent people from making good decisions. In fact, evolution has shaped our memory not to win a game of unimportant matters, but to make intelligent decisions. And when we look at what's needed to make intelligent decisions, we would argue that that it's healthy to forget some things.The scientists say what the brain decides to forget is determined by our daily life. The memories the brain decides to lose are exactly those details from your life that don't actually matter and that may be keeping you from making good decisions.So the next time you are unable to recall a seemingly important fact, don't be hard on yourself. Your brain is making room for information that can contribute to making you smarter! Remember, even Albert Einstein was absent-minded!8. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Old memories.B. New memories.C. Neurons.D. Researchers.9. What does the 2016 study suggest?A. Old memories affects decision-making.B. Old memories can't be erased by drugs.C. Mice can't locate a maze without memories.D. Drugs make mice smarter in locating a maze.10. What does the last sentence of the text imply?A. It isn't easy to make intelligent decisions.B. Einstein was as ordinary as normal people.C. Ifs normal for people to forget small things.D. Einstein is a good example of absent-mindedness.11. Which is the best title for the passage?A. How Does Your Brain Work?B. How Can We Become Smarter?C. Forgetting Makes You SmarterD. Brain Chooses What To MemorizeDHow would it feel to be the last person on Earth who speaks your language? For those of us whose native languages have millions of speakers, it's almost impossible to imagine. And yet languages have come and gone throughout human history, and they continue to do so. Linguists estimate that of the world's approximately 6,900 languages, more than half are at risk of dying out by the end of the 21st century.Sometimes languages die out quickly. This can happen when small communities of speakers are wiped out by disasters or war. In El Salvador, for example, speakers of the indigenous （土生土长的）Lenca and Cacaopera abandoned their languages to avoid being identified as Indians after Salvadoran troops killed tens of thousands of mostly indigenous peasants in 1932 in order to put down an uprising （起义）.Most languages, though, die out gradually as many generations of speakers become very good at two languages and then begin to lose their advantages in their traditional languages. This often happens when speakers seek to learn a more-respected language in order to gain social and economic advantages or to avoid discrimination. The gradual disappearance of Coptic as a spoken language in Egypt following the rise of Arabic in the 7th century is one example of this type of change. Modernization and globalization have strengthened these forces, and peoples around the world now face great pressure to adopt the common languages used in government, commerce, technology, entertainment, and diplomacy.Do languages have an afterlife? In many cases, yes. Dedicated preservationists often bring languages back into use again as a matter of regional or ethnic （民族的）identity. The most-famous example is Hebrew, which died out as a spoken language in the 2nd century CE （although it continued to be used as a language of religion and scholarship）. The spoken language returned to its regular usage in a modernized form in the 19th-20th century and is now the first language of millions of people in Israel.12. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Why languages die.B. Where languages go.C. How languages survive.D. When languages change.13. How does a war influence a language according to Paragraph 2?A. By creating a much better language.B. By ordering people to use another one.C. By forbidding people to use it in public.D. By decreasing the number of its speakers.14. What can be learned about Coptic in the 7th century?A. Its speakers had higher earnings than others.B. It was considered less-respected than Arabic.C. It speeded up modernization and globalization.D. Its disappearance resulted in the popularity of Arabic.15. The example of Hebrew suggests that.A. some languages have advantages over othersB. measures should be taken to protect languagesC. dead languages have a chance to be used againD. languages are important to religion and scholarship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山可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

My focus often changes as I stare out at the road ahead. But I became fully attentive on a recent morning once I realized the entire newscast was dedicated to local wildlife.There was something about the pack of some 30 to 50 javelinas (野猪) that ruined a golf course near Sedona, Arizona, followed by talk of the recent sighting of a jaguar (美洲虎), a species that ranged across Arizona and Sonora, Mexico, until construction of the border wall blocked the way. Finally, there was an update on Mexican wolf reintroduction efforts in New Mexico and Arizona. The results were mixed: Nine of the wolves had died or been killed recently.As I sat in my car, listening to the news, I felt helpless, even mournful. What would it take for most of us to understand that the javelinas’ behavior on that heavily irrigated golf course in the desert was a sign that maybe the course shouldn’t be in the desert to begin with? The way I saw it, the javeli nas weren’t invading (入侵) the site; they were reclaiming it. After all, the javelinas’ needs—for food and space—are more basic than a few privileged humans’ desire to play golf.As for the Arizona Mexican wolf pup reintroduction effort that I heard about in the news, for the past 25 years, scientists have been working hard to restore the native wolf population, and yet are unable to remove its greatest threat. Today, almost 250 Mexican wolves are believed to be in the wild, and every year, humans illegally kill one out of ten. The wolf recovery effort is necessary, but it’s extremely difficult because we humans keep getting in the way.I need to tackle my helplessness, because helplessness leads to no longer wanting to take care of what matters most. Therefore, I think that it must be a good sign that my local news now regularlycovers the challenges of coexistence and possible solutions to our problems. That’s progress and fuels my hope.4. What is the morning news about?A．Dangers of local wildlife.B．Efforts to reintroduce wildlife.C．Issues of human-wildlife coexistence.D．Distribution of wildlife around the world.5. Why did the javelinas destroy the golf course according to the author?A．To meet basic needs.B．To protect the desert.C．To oppose golf playing.D．To attack human beings.6. What do we know about the Mexican wolves?A．They are bound to go extinct.B．Humans threaten their survival.C．Their number has greatly increased.D．10% of them have been reintroduced.7. What is the author’s attitude to the challenges mentioned in the last paragraph?A．Unclear. B．Negative.C．Optimistic. D．Indifferent.Authors are upset after tech companies started using their books to train artificial intelligence without letting them know or seeking their permission. They worry about copyright and loss of income, among other issues.According to CNN, the system is called Books3, and according to an investigation by The Atlantic, the system is based on a collection of pirated (盗版的) e-books including all genres, from fiction to poetry. Books help generative AI systems with learning how to communicate information.The Atlantic article notes that some of the text that’s training AI on how to use language is taken from Wikipedia and other websites. But high-quality generative AI requires higher-quality input than what is usually found on the internet — that is, it requires the kind found in books.Many authors apparently don’t view the use of their books to train artificial intelligence as an honor. Rather, it’s a shortcut that robs them of their due, they say. CNN reported that Nora Roberts, who writes romantic novels, has 206 books in the database —“second only to William Shakespeare.”“The database is all kinds of wrong. We are human beings, we are writers and we are being exploited by people who want to use our work, without permission or compensation (赔偿金), to‘write’ books, scripts, essays because it’s cheap and easy, ” she said in a statement to CNN.Not everyone is upset, however, by use of their work to train AI. Ian Bogost, author of some popular books, wrote a column for The Atlantic. Bogost claims that successful art is beyond its creator’s plans, noting that an author cannot accurately predict a book’s audience. “To complain this unexpected use for my writing is to decline all of the other unpredictable uses for it. Speaking as a writer, that makes me feel bad.”8. What contributes to some authors’ dissatisfaction with Books3?A．It is unable to train AI.B．It uses their works illegally.C．It fails to improve their income.D．It sells books without permission.9. What is mainly presented in paragraph 3 concerning Books3?A．The reason it was created.B．The high quality it possesses.C．The benefit it has brought.D．The bond it has with Wikipedia.10. What does the underlined word “exploited” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Made fun of. B．Caught up with.C．Taken advantage of. D．Looked down upon.11. Which statement would Ian Bogost probably agree with?A．It’s necessary to predict a book’s audience.B．Being involved in Books3 is hardly an honor.C．Good art should be limited to creators’ plans.D．It’s acceptable for books to be used to train AI.Soda bottles and sour cream containers—these plastics typically arrive at recycling plants mixed together in the same bin. But because they are made of different monomers (单体), they must be sorted into different streams before they can be melted to make new products.“Until about a year ago, everybody thought the only thing you could do is take a plastic, break it back down to a monomer and then re-form it,” says Sanat Kumar, a chemical engineer at Columbia University. To seek new solutions to old recycling problems, his team had to solve a fundamentalchemical difficulty: when different plastics are melted together, their various monomers tend to separate from one another. They have developed a process that allows different kinds of plastic to be recycled together. Their findings, reported recently in Nature, could give new life to many items that end up in landfills.The new process solves this problem by adding chemicals called universal dynamic cross-linkers (交联剂) to the mix. Just as soap brings together oil and water, which creates a bridge, allowing the oil and water to mix together and form a stable liquid, these cross-linkers(when applied under heat)form covalent molecular bonds (共价键) that attach the diverse monomers together. These materials can then be melted and remade again and again because the cross-linkers can break and re-form their bonds.The researchers hope the technique could eventually help handle more plastic waste—but it’s not yet cheap enough to be widely used at existing recycling facilities. Still, Kumar wishes it would be one way to help recyclers address the plastic waste crisis. “The plastics problem is huge,” he says, “and you’re going to have to look for multiple solutions.”12. The difficulty of recycling different plastics together lies in how to ________.A．re-form them more quicklyB．prevent various monomers being apartC．break them down thoroughlyD．separate various monomers successfully13. How does the author explain the new process?A．By listing facts.B．By quoting a report.C．By providing examples.D．By making a comparison.14. What can be inferred about the new technique from the last paragraph?A．It still needs some improvement.B．It will solve the plastics problem.C．It has already gained great popularity.D．It has been affordable for most plants.15. What can be a suitable title for the test?A．Monomers Are Still Important for Plastics RecyclingB．The Use of Cross-linkers Outperformed Other Chemicals.C．Multiple Solutions Are Needed for Mixed-Plastics RecyclingD．New Chemical Process Offers Hope for Mixed-Plastics RecyclingHow to give effective feedback (反馈)In the ever-evolving landscape of personal and professional growth, feedback serves as a compass (指南针) guiding our journey towards improvement. 16 Constructive feedback should follow several principles.17 It’s not unusual to tell someone about something that upset or pleased you six months later. It’s also easy for people to start from the point of view of “everything you do is rubbish”, especially when things are not going well. But don’t. Think about exact and precise occasions and behavior that are still fresh in both the giver’s and receiver’s minds.Lay stress on behavior, not personality. Your feedback should target how they act, what effects it has on you or how it makes you feel. Remember that you are making no comment on what type of person they are, or what they believe or value. 18Focus on improvement rather than criticism. It is expressed in a manner that encourages growth and avoids being negative. To take it a step further, it also provides suggestions for change. 19 It involves putting constructive criticism between positive or encouraging comments. For example, when discussing a project with an employee, start by praising their hard work, then add the areas for improvement, and conclude with encouragement.Offering effective feedback to others is a win-win act. 20 Both of you get a slice of personal development. To develop better feedback skills, you need to keep practicing and make it a habit. Anyway, practice makes perfect!When I first built my website 3 years ago, I had no idea what I was doing.Naturally, I went to various websites and blogs for _________.

But as I _________ my site, I found they were not. Instead, a clean, user-friendly design had _________ effects.
