is blue．But it takes a strong person to smile when he or she has every reason to cry!Kiley，from Maryland，is an author，fashion model，motivational speaker and entrepreneur．Since 3 years old，her life has 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.

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

You may have heard of the famous workplace communication software, Slack. Many companies use Slack to virtually communicate across teams.

But after raising millions of dollars to fund the game development, the company ultimately 2 the project because the game failed to attract enough users.The 3 goal of the company wasn’t achieved.

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.

A detailed and informative travel guide filled with places to visit.B. A complex and educational science textbook with various theories.C.

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.

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。

2024届高三英语期末模拟试题3第一部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)AReading has been in decline for years.One of the reasons for the decline in book sales is the leaps and bounds in technology.Why do you buy a book when you can conveniently buy audiobooks(有声读物) instead?Here are4of the best audiobooks you can find.The Power of NowPublished in2000,The Power of Now explains a journey—a journey that

to help you pay more attention to the current moment—the“now”.The AlchemistIt talks about the journey of a boy named Santiago who travels from Spain to Egypt in search of riches.Along the way,he meets three characters,a woman,a man who thinks he’s a king and the alchemist(炼金术士).These characters help guide Santiago to his goal,but over time that goal changes.It moves away from worldly riches to something deeper and more meaningful.The Power of HabitWritten by Charles Duhigg,it talks all about the power behind habits using various cases and plots to present Duhigg’s points.In the book,Duhigg turns complex systems and methods into easily digestible stories that people and businesses can relate to.OutliersWritten by Malcolm Gladwell,this book has popularized the idea that practising10,000hours in total will make you an expert in that area.It also covers other aspects about what many of today’s great people do in their daily life and how they have become successful in their own field.1.Why did Eckhart Tolle write The Power of Now?A.To encourage people to travel.B.To tell people to focus on the present.C.To meet different people’s curiosity.D.To give advice to the businessman.2.What did Santiago pursue during his journey at first?A.Wealth.B.Fame.C.Wisdom.D.Friendship.3.Which of the books talks about the power of practice?A.The Power of Now.B.Outliers.C.The Power of Habit.D.The Alchemist.BI once knew a high school teacher who made,in my mind,a curious comment.Referring to a naughty student,he remarked,with a tone of gloomy resignation,“People don’t change.”I knew the kid well.He was what one would call a“juvenile delinquent(不良少年)”.But if schooling held no promise of making positive changes in kids,what was the point of teaching?My own son,Alyosha,growing up,was athletic,energetic,and occasionally hard to handle.But he never showed the least interest in tools,or working with his hands in any way.The result was that he couldn’t tell a screwdriver from a paintbrush.I recall one day,as I fussed under the car,calling out to him to bring me an adjustable wrench(活动扳手).He fetched a pair of pliers(钳子).“No,”I pleaded while trying to hold an oily car part in place.“Pliers.”He went back into the garage and returned with a bar.“No, no,”I corrected him.“The adjustable wrench!For loosening a nut.”To which,in his own defence,he exclaimed,“Well,I don’t know!”Years passed.And then,one day,well into his20s,he told me he had decided on a technical school: machinery technology.I nodded approvingly,but already knew that it was a challenging field,full of moving parts,tools,and dreaded maths.During his period in Coast Guard Technical School,I thought about him daily,wondering what the outcome would be.I had prepared myself for the phone call telling me that it was just too much and he was being sent to sea as a deckhand.It didn’t happen.The phone did ring,but it was Alyosha asking me to fly to Virginia to attend his graduation and pin his new rank on his collar.Prouder I couldn’t have been.As I stood before my son,Alyosha,standing at attention and staring dead ahead,glanced at me.“You want me to help you,Dad?”he said.“Always,”I answered,“but not this time.”Yeah,people do change.And,in my experience,it’s usually something to see.4.What’s the author’s attitude towards the teacher’s remark?A.He approves of it.B.He argues against it.C.He is interested in it.D.He is uncertain about it.5.The examples in Paragraph2are used to show Alyosha.cked team spiritB.knew little about mechanicsC.had a bad relationship with his dadD.was willing to learn any handwork6.According to the author,a technical school.A.was a correct choice for Alyosha to makeB.might satisfy Alyosha’s interest in mechanicsC.was suitable for Alyosha to attendD.would be a challenge for Alyosha7.Why was the author ready to get the phone call from his son?A.He missed his son very much.B.He had an appointment with his son.C.He expected good news about his son.D.He thought his son would quit school.CAll across the nation,in Americans’backyards and garages and living rooms,wild animals kept as pets live side by side with their human owners.It’s believed that more exotic animals live in American homes than are cared for in American zoos.The exotic pet business has drawn criticism from animal welfare advocates and wildlife conservationists alike,who say it’s not only dangerous to bring wildlife into households but it’s cruel and criminal.Yet the issue is far from black or white.The term exotic pet has no firm definition.It can refer to any wildlife kept in human households or simply to a pet that’s more unusual than the common dog or cat.Privately owning exotic animals is currently permitted in a handful of states with no restrictions in America.Adam Roberts of Born Free USA keeps a running database of deaths and injuries caused by exotic pet ownership:In Connecticut a55-year-old woman’s face was permanently disfigured by her friend’s lifelong pet monkey;in Ohio an80-year-old man was attacked by a200-pound kangaroo;in Nebraska a34-year-old man was strangled(勒死)to death by his pet snake.And that list does not include the number of people who become sick from coming into contact with zoonotic(动物传染的)diseases.Some people see wild animals as pets as a way to connect with the natural world.Other exotic pet owners say they are motivated by a desire to preserve threatened species.They believe climate change and human population growth could wipe out a species in record time,so having a backup population is a good idea.But some groups like Born Free USA and the World Wildlife Fund say that captive breeding(圈养)of endangered species by private owners—whether for commercial,conservation,or educational reasons—serves only to continue a booming market for exotic animals.That,in turn,results in a greater risk to animals still living in their natural habitat.8.Which word can replace the phrase“far from black or white”in Paragraph1?A.Contradictory.B.Ridiculous.C.Controversial.D.Universal.9.Why does the writer list some deaths and injuries in the passage?A.To give us a clear and firm definition of exotic pets.B.To show keeping exotic animals can be very dangerous.C.To prove humans cannot be infected by animal diseases.D.To tell us it’s illegal to have exotic pet ownership in the USA.10.What’s the main idea of Paragraph3?A.The reasons for keeping exotic animals as pets.B.Worries about the endangered wild animals.C.The differences between people who keep exotic pets.D.The disadvantages of privately owning exotic animals.11.The last paragraph of the passage is intended to.A.introduce some animal protection groupsB.argue against keeping exotic animals in captivityC.warn people of the danger of animals being caughtD.prove captive breeding can encourage exotic pet businessDCars powered by batteries made from seawater and planes fueled by ammonia(氨)will become common over the next10years,Bill David,a professor of materials chemistry has predicted.Most batteries for electric cars and smartphones are powered by lithium(锂),which has to be mined, but David thinks that they will be overtaken by batteries made from sodium(钠),which can be obtained from seawater and salt.The future of air travel could also be greener thanks to biofuels.David said:“We are developing an ammonia-based plane.In principle,we can improve on an Airbus A320or a Boeing787and essentially replace jet fuel with ammonia.”David said that batteries could,at first,combine sodium and lithium,as sodium was not quite as powerful as lithium but is much more sufficient.“It’s not quite perfect in terms of performance,so we need both,”David said.“Sodium is on the way up and most electric cars have had a combination of lithium and sodium batteries in them.My estimate is that by2040I would not be surprised if there were ten times more sodium batteries than lithium ones,maybe even100times.”The first generation of mass-produced sodium batteries has been used for an electric car for the first time.Sodium will not be the final answer to eco-friendly air travel,however,which is why David’s team is looking into the use of ammonia.Some companies are looking into whether jet fuel can be replaced with hydrogen,but David sees ammonia as more sustainable.He said:“If you do the sums,then at500mph youget the same amount of power as jet fuel,but just40per cent of the range.However,even with the range hit,a787could still go from London to New

doing your homework or feeding the dog.16Showing responsibility isn’t always easy,but practising and making an effort will help you improve over time.Think of the consequences before speaking or acting.Bad decisions often lead to a lot of new problems.Many times,you can avoid these problems by thinking about what you’re about to do before you go through with it.Irresponsible people often make decisions without realizing how they are affecting others.17Pause and reflect on your actions to see what you can do better.Take a time out to look back on what you have said or done,especially after a difficult decision.18Consider what goes right,what goes wrong,and what you can do differently next e what you learn to become wiser and more responsible.19If you’re honest,people will believe you are a responsible person.Try to be as honest as possible.Lying leads to deeper holes in the long run,so admit when you do something wrong.This can be very tough to do at times,but it’s something you can handle when you’re a responsible person.Apologize for any mistake you make.No one is perfect,and no matter how responsible you try to be, you might mess up sometimes.20If you hurt someone,tell

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

Mountain Warehouse Tor 65L,D. Osprey Europe Farpoint 70L.BAt just seven years old, Angelina Tsuboi discovered her passion for innovation. 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)

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
