I entered this world with Poland syndrome, a disease that prevented the formation of my right arm and muscles. My parents believed playing with Lego could enhance my 1 and gifted me my first kit when I was five. Initially I 2 to piece the the components together but finally I crafted my first Lego work – a car. By the age of nine, I had fashioned my first prosthetic arm (义肢) using Lego– a simple box that perfectly accommodated my right arm.This early creation sparked my drive for further 3 . Years later, I developed another prosthetic arm called the MK-1, which had fingers, a motor, a pressure sensor, and a grabber capable of 4 things. Before constructing it, I was against traditional prosthetics as they were too 5 . My parents had looked into getting one years earlier, only to be discouraged by the prohibitive price. So, I concluded that I might not need one because I was managing well without.As the years passed, my creations evolved from MK-1 to the more advanced and comfortable MK-V. One day, a couple with their eight-year-old son, who lost both arms in an accident, reached out to me after learning about my story. Short of money, they couldn’t afford well-functioning prosthetics. “Daniel,” the father 6 asked, “we were wondering if you could help build a set of prosthetics for our son.”It would be a challenging task, but I responded with a “yes”. Without any delay, I 7 the task. The subsequent days witnessed how I carefully selected the Lego piece and intricately integrated practical components to enhance its dexterity (灵巧). Days turned into weeks, and the boy-customized prosthetics finally took shape. It’s time for them to fulfill their intended purpose.I rushed to the boy’s home and 8 the prosthetics onto him. They worked! The room erupted with cheers! The boy expressed his gratitude and sprinted to his parents to 9 them in the biggest hug. Never had I imagined that my creations, born out of mere 10 , would someday make such a difference.1. A. stability B. mobility C. flexibility D. reliability2.

The gloves are known as “Talk to the Hand” and cost £1,000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget recycling. He uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which commissioned（承担）the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves—one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to £260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras.Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, “I hope that my ‘Talk to the Hand’ project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim.”Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, “There’s a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated h andsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away.”underlined word “O2” in Paragraph 2 is p robably the name of ______.A. an artistB. a companyC. a mobileD. an exhibitioncan buy the “Talk to the Hand” gloves ______.A. in the exhibitionB. from Mr MilesC. when they are mass producedD. after they recycle the gadgets11 The purpose of the project is to _______.A. promote the technology of ITB. enable people to talk to their handsC. raise people’s awareness of recyclingD. attract visitors’ attention in the exhibitionis the passage mainly about?A.

哈162中学2022—2023第一学期高三月考试题（英语）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节(共15题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AThe Best Books of 2020On Monday, the American Library Association announced the top children’s books of 2020. Here are the winners.DevotionAuthor Clare Vanderpool took home the John Newbery Medal for outstanding contribution to children’s literature for Moon over Manifest. The book is about a young girl’s magical adventures in a small Kansas town, in 1936.Vanderpool said that she was shocked to learn that she had won. “You grow up reading legendary authors like Madeleine L’Engle, but I never expected to be put in a category with her,” Vanderpool told TFK. “It’s fabulous.”Picture ThisThe picture book A Sick Day for Amos McGee won the Randolph Caldecott Medal. The book was illustrated by Erin E. Stead and written by her husband, Philip C. Stead. It tells the story of an elderly zookeeper and the animals that visit him when he’s not well enough to go to work.“I love drawing animals and I love drawing people and I love drawing the emotional connection between animals and people,” said Stead.More Honored BooksThe Coretta Scott King award, given to an African-American author and illustrator of “outstanding books for children and young adults,” went to Rita Williams-Garcia for One Crazy Summer. Set in 1968, the novel follows three sisters from Brooklyn, New York, who visit their mother, a poet who ran away years ago and lives in California.The king prize for best-illustrated work went to Dave the Potter: Artist, Poet, Slave. The book, which was written by Laban Carrick Hill and illustrated by Bryan Collier, tells the story of a skilled potter who engraved his poems on the clay pots and jars that he made. The enslaved potter, known only as Dave, lived in South Carolina in the 1800s.1.How did Vanderpool feel when she heard the news that she won the medal?A. Astonished.B. Disappointed.C. Embarrassed.D. Depressed.2.Who illustrated the book Dave the Potter: Artist, Poet, Slave?A. Bryan Collier.B. Erin E. Stead.C. Laban Carrick Hill.D. Madeleine L’Engle.3.What can we infer from the passage?A. The book Moon over Manifest tells a story of a zookeeper and his animals.B. A Sick Day for Amos McGee shows us that animals can interact with humans.C. The book A Sick Day for Amos McGee is written by Erin, a famous woman writer.D. One Crazy Summer is about a mother with her three children having a holiday in California. BI travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” (风格)of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑的)in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop. ”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here. ’’You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?”They don’t know.It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, Sorry, I have no idea. But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don't know." People in Yucatan believe that “I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!4.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually .A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places5.Which is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Los Angeles.C. Kansas.D. Iowa.6.People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer_____.A. in order to save timeB. as a testC. so as to be politeD. for fun7.what can we infer from the text?A. It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B. It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C. People have similar understandings of politeness.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors. CWith the largest population in the world, China has the most mouths to feed on the planet. Consequently, food waste is a great problem in China. It is reported that more than 6% — or 35 million kgs — of the country's total food production is lost before reaching consumers, in the household and warehouse storage, transport and processing sectors. With an ever-growing population, it's imperative to deal with food waste in China.Thankfully, policies covering food waste have been rapidly emerging in recent years. Since 2010, the Chinese government has selected 100 cities and encouraged them to explore alternative waste management systems. In 2016,China amended(修改) its Solid Waste Law to stop illegal dumping(倾倒) and promote recycling and reuse of waste, including food. Restaurants will soon be charged a fee for the amount of food waste they produce. And China is using a good food waste processing method called anaerobic digestion, a process that transforms organic waste into biogas, which can be used as energy, or turned into biofuel.Moving forward, policymakers should consider loss and waste reduction to be as important as increasing production. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the current policy system of agricultural subsidisation(补贴) mainly includes price guarantees and subsidies for crops, production materials, seeds and agricultural machinery, which leads to local governments focusing on crop production while paying little attention to the wastage in the supply chain. There should also be increased investment in the construction of new warehouses and special funds for storage, transport, and processing technologies.If food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest emitting(排放) country in the world, generating about 8% of total greenhouse gas emissions. This issue is not location-specific, but an issue that affects every living thing on the planet and should therefore be seen as an essential area to take action in.8.What does the underlined word “imperative” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Impractical.B. Hopeful.C. Costly.D. Urgent9.What can we say about the anaerobic digestion method?A. It has been widely used in restaurants.B. It is required by the Solid Waste Law.C. It is eco-friendly to reuse food waste.D. It has proved effective in 100 cities.10.What is a result of the current agricultural subsidisation policy?A. Food waste in the supply chain is ignored.B. Prices of production materials go up.C. Investment in the supply chain increases.D. Food waste during crop production gets serious.11.What is the main purpose of the text?A. To promote the idea of recycling food waste.B. To call for action against food waste.C. To assess the consequences of food waste.D. To discuss the reasons behind food waste.DScientists have created a new app designed to identify dangerous mosquitoes based on sounds the insects make. The app, called Abuzz, is aimed at helping fight major diseases spread by mosquitoes.Haripriya Vaidehi Narayanan is one of the researchers who helped develop the app. Narayanan told VOA that anyone with a mobile phone could use the app to identify mosquitoes. "If they see a mosquito around, they just take out their phone, open up the app, point their phone towards the mosquito and hit the record button," she said. "Then, when the mosquito flaps its wings and starts flying around, it makes that noise, that annoying buzzing noise. That noise is what gets recorded by the Abuzz app." she added.Many diseases that mosquitoes carry do not have cures or vaccines(疫苗). So, targeting the flying insects is the best way to control them. "The most important step is to know where the mosquitoes are," Narayanan said.Traditional methods for hunting mosquitoes are costly and can take a very long time. The process also requires labor-intensive trapping as well as trained scientists to identify the insects.Manu Prakash is a professor of bioengineering at Stanford University and a lead investigator on the project. He says that out of about 3,500 different mosquito species, only about 40 are dangerous to humans. Prakash says the goal of the project was to find out whether the mosquitoes around a person's house are just an annoyance, or whether they are possibly dangerous.When mosquitoes move their wings up and down, they produce buzzing sounds. But each kind of mosquito makes a slightly different buzzing noise. The app records these sounds. Users of the app can get an answer by recording as little as one or two seconds of the buzzing sound. The app compares this recording to a collection of other recordings. It then predicts which species of mosquito it is most likely to be.By making use of mosquito information worldwide, the app can help build maps of where dangerous mosquitoes are. This can help scientists and health officials identify areas where disease is likely to break out and where to target mosquito control.12.Why is it important to locate mosquitoes?A. Because they are very small and hard to find.B. Because diseases carried by them are a big problem.C. Because mosquitoes flap their wings very quickly.D. Because the buzzing noise of mosquitoes is annoying.13.What will Abuzz do after it records the sound of a mosquito?A. Compare it to a database and identify its species.B. Make a somewhat different buzzing noise.C. Release some chemicals to kill the mosquito.D. Draw a map of the place where the mosquito was.14.In which way could Abuzz help people?A. It can help people control the number of mosquitoes.B. It can help people avoid some species of mosquitoes.C. It can help predict where mosquito-carried diseases are most likely to occur.D. It can help record the mosquito hiding places very quickly.15.What is the best title for the passage?A. The Different Species of Mosquitoes in the WorldB. New Ways to Fight Disease Caused by MosquitoesC. How to Identify Sounds Made by Different MosquitoesD. A New App That Can Identify Dangerous Mosquitoes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。

It offers more control by allowing you to “build your car” and select your rental plan. The “build your car” option is one of the better options for those looking to add features to their cars. If you’re looki ng for cars with options like a sunroof or navigation(导航), it’s Carvoy that makes it very easy to get started with the process. 3. They have a large collection of new and used cars, and also provide resources for car comparisons. In the business for many years, they are one of the first online car outlets.

If you are a good bargainer, it’s wise to avoid dealing with _______.A. B. C. D. BWith coronavirus outbreaks at different stages around the world, in many countries lockdowns are being carefully eased off while urging citizens to keep on practicing the social distancing rules. Singapore is trying a new way of carrying it out – a robot dog.The government has arranged Spot, a yellow and black robotic dog made by Boston Dynamics Company, at one local park. The same robot has been previously seen dancing to hit song “Uptown Funk.” However, 2020 is an extremely difficult year and the company is trying to assist the national coronavirus-control effort. In turn, the job has been handed over to Spot.The four-legged robot dog patrols(巡查) the park and broadcasts a pre-recorded message to encourage visitors to observe safe distancing measures. As it walks around the park, the dog says in a female voice, "Let's keep Singapore healthy. For your own safety and for those around you, please stand at least one meter apart. Thank you.”Spot is one of the world's most advanced robots and unlike wheeled robots, it is capable of going pretty much anywhere a dog can go and can walk up to three miles per hour over different areas, making it ideal for operation in public parks and gardens. Furthermore, it is remotely controlled and has cameras with 360-degree vision andanalytic tools to scan the surroundings and help officials estimate the number of people gathering in the park.For now, the pilot project is currently set to run in a limited trial for two weeks at one park during off-peak(非高峰)hours. But if all goes well, authorities will consider expanding the program to improve enforcement(强制)of social distance throughout on Singapore.Spot is also being used in other ways during the public health crisis beyond just patrolling a park. The government says it's also using Spot in another capacity–at a local isolation facility where the robot helps bring medicine to patients.4. What do we know about Spot in the passage?A. It's a dog-like robot that can speak.B. It’s a robot that can sing a popular song.C. It’s a wheeled robot that can walk anywhere.D. It's a robot newly invented during the coronavirus.5. How does Spot carry out its duty in the park?A. It enforces people to follow the rules.B. It politely reminds people to keep apart.C. It works day and night to patrol the park.D. It warns visitors against littering anywhere.6. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?A. Some smart features of the robot.B. The robot dog's basic equipment.C. The working condition of the robot.D. The experiment process of the project.7. What is the best title of the text?A. Spot, A Dog-like Robot, Walks In The ParkB. A New Program Is Expanding In SingaporeC. A Multi-skilled Robot Goes Beyond The ParkD. Singapore Leads The Top In Fighting The CrisisCFor the first time, the World Health Organization has included Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in its globally influential medical compendium(手册), according to an international science journal.An article published by Nature on Wednesday said that TCM will be included inthe latest version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)set to be released next year. Starting from the 1800s, the ICD has been improved and published in a series of editions, reflecting the advances in health and medical science over time. It serves as the foundation for the identification of global health trends, and the international standard for diseases and health conditions.The latest ICD is based largely on the work of the International Classification of Traditional Medicine (ICTM) project's experts from around the world. These experts had been working on traditional medicine research and practices for years.China has been promoting the modernization of TCM and pushing for TCM to gain acceptance worldwide. Tu Youyou, a Chinese expert focusing on the scientific study of drugs and medicines, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2015 for her research in TCM. Her discovery has saved millions of lives in developing countries in South Asia, Africa and South America. TCM is sure to grow in popularity globally.Though the application of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture(针灸) and other traditional medical practices has been on the rise, there's still a shortage of global classification and terminology(术语) tools for traditional medicine, according to officials of the WHO.“The decision is to promote the safe and effective use of traditional medicine by regulating, researching and combining traditional medicine products, practitioners and practice into health systems, where appropriate," the WHO was quoted as saying by Nature.8. What can we learn about the ICD from Paragraph 2?A. It has included TCM this year.B. It has a history of over 300 years.C. It is published in various languages.D. It provides standards for diseases worldwide.9. Why does the author mention Tu Youyou in Paragraph 4?A. To imply the worldwide popularity of TCM.B. To prove TCM's gaining worldwide acceptanceC. To introduce a breakthrough in the medical field.D. To show Chinese people deserve the Nobel Prize for their contribution.10. Which aspect of TCM has shown an upward trend worldwide?A. The classification of TCM.B. The standard of TCM terms.C. The official promotion of TCM.D. The use of traditional Chinesemedicine11. Which column of website is the text most probably taken from?A. Lifestyle.B. OpinionC. Health.D. TechDEducation appears to protect older adults especially women, against memory loss, according to a study by investigators at Georgetown University Medical Center.The Study tested declarative memory in 704 older adults (58–98 years of age). Declarative memory refers to our ability to remember events facts and words, such as where you put your keys or the name of that new neighbor. The investigators found that their memory performance became progressively worse with aging. However, more years of early-life education countered these losses, especially in women.For example, the declarative memory abilities of an 80-year-old woman with a bachelor's degree would be as good as those of a 60-year-old woman with a high school education. So, four extra years of education make up for the memory losses from 20 years of aging.“Simply said, learning brings about learning.” says the study's senior investigator, Michael Unman. “Since learning new information in declarative memory is easier if it is related to knowledge we already have, more knowledge from more education should result in better memory abilities, even years later,” adds the study's lead author, Jana Reifegerste.“Evidence suggest s that girls often have better declarative memory than boys, so education may lead to greater knowledge gains in girls,” says Ullman,“Education may thus particularly benefit memory abilities in women, even years later in old age.”The study tested individuals in a non-western population. Participants varied in the number of years of education, from none at all to graduate studies. Future research is needed to test whether the findings generalize to other populations.“These findings may be important,especially considering the rapidly aging population globally,” Reifegerste says, “The results argue for further efforts to increase access to education.”“Education has also been found to delay the beginning of Alzheimer's disease,”Ullman says, “We believe that our findings may shed light on why this occurs.”12.The underlined “counter”in Paragraph 2 probably means___________.A. cancelB. changeC. replaceD. reduce13.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. New information.B. Declarative memory.C. Former education.D. Better memory ability.14.The research findings may help___________.A. slow down the process of agingB. promote the development of educationC. advance the study of Alzheimer's diseaseD. ensure the equal rights of women' s education15.The passage mainly talks about that___________.A. declarative memory abilities fail with agingB. women should try to obtain a bachelor's degreeC. learning regularly helps improve old adults' memoryD. early-life education helps prevent memory loss in old age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。

福建省福州第一中学2023届高三第一次调研测试英语第一部分阅读（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）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。

ACool InventionsFor Light SleepersMillions of people have trouble falling asleep each night,which is why LightSleeper was created.Developed in the United Kingdom，LightSleeper’s makers say it can help a person fall asleep and also help a person fall back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night.LightSleeper works by projecting (投射) a light onto the ceiling while the person is lying down. The idea is to watch the light, because the light moving in a circle has a relaxing effect.One of the advantages of the product is that it won’t disturb other people in the room.The product can be easily moved and will switch itself off after 30 minutes to save power.Stop the Snoring (打鼾)Here’s a new product designed to slow down the frequency and level of your snoring.The Snore Stopper has a sensitive instrument that will detect when you’re snoring.Once it does that,it will send a very mild electronic signal to your wrist.This consequently changes your sleeping position to stop you from snoring. The Snore Stopper won’t cause any damage to your body.Get Your True ColorsPhotoshop features a pen that will copy the color settings of what you are monitoring on screen to use as a color in your program.Now an off­line product allows you to pick a color when not using the computer software.The Color Picker is a concept pen. After placing the pen against an object, the user just presses the scan button. Color sensors (感应器) inside the pen send information to abox,which then mixes red,green and blue to produce the desired ink color.Keep It FreshMore high technology products are showing up in the kitchen. A new Bagel dome(圆顶形物)advertises that it will keep your baked goods fresher for longer periods of time. The product, which is able to remove air, works for bread rolls, cakes and other perishables. To use it, you just push a button at the top.1．How can LightSleeper help a person fall asleep?A．Its light makes people feel calm.B．It doesn’t make any noise.C．It is fixed on the ceiling.D．Its light moves fast.2．What do we know about the Snore Stopper?A．It will cause slight damage to a person’s body.B．It will wake a person up once he starts snoring.C．It can make sure a person doesn’t snore all night.D．It can make a person snore less by changing his sleeping position.3．The Color Picker will probably be used while you’re ________.A．using the computerB．drawing picturesC．collecting informationD．designing a program4．The underlined word “perishables” in the last paragraph refers to foods which ________. A．are easy to keep B．go bad easilyC．are rich in vitamins D．keep you thinBAn artist in Oakland, California is using his skills to help the homeless. Greg Kloehn builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable. The structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather. Each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes.Greg Kloehn has given away at least 20 tiny houses. Several are on the roadside near anactive railroad. On a recent day, Mr.Kloehn stops at one to visit Oscar Young. The two men hug. Inside his little shelter Mr.Young gets relief from cold nights on the streets. Mr.Kloehn also visits Sweet­Pea, another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built. She says it keeps her safe and protects her belongings.In the mornings, Mr. Kloehn searches the streets for building materials. He gathers what he can and takes it to his studio. There, he puts the houses together. Empty coffee bags become roof material. A washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows. Nails,screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together. The artist also attaches a small electrical device to the house. The device is powered by the sun.Some of the people living on the streets once had normal houses of their own. But some of the people say they have learned to live with less and they are thankful to that man.Mr.Kloehn says his work is not a social project. He says he is just someone using his skills to help his homeless neighbors.5．The following are the advantages of the small shelters EXCEPT ________.A．saving power and energyB．protecting possessions of the homelessC．decorating the streets where they areD．keeping the homeless safe and comfortable6．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．Greg Kloehn has sold at least 20 tiny housesB．an act of kindness has made people simple and gratefulC．the shelters are immovableD．the government has got involved in the action7．The passage is likely taken from ________.A．an official reportB．an art reviewC．a science magazineD．a news report8．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．An artist creates homes for the homeless.B．A more comfortable shelter on the streets.C．A successful social project in Oakland.公众号高中僧课堂D．An artist makes a living by designing small shelters.CResearchers at the University of Scotland have discovered a protein that can influence viruses developing and even can control cancer. Now the fight is on to fully understand how it works in the hope of turning the laboratory research into a treatment.The protein is called Hira. Technically it is a histone（组蛋白）complex, but it is easier to understand in terms of what it can do. Three years ago Dr Taranjit Singh Rai and colleagues at the Beatson Cancer Institute and Glasgow University reported that Hira could possibly suppress the division of cells that causes cancer. In the course of that research, Dr Rai found out something unusual. In the lab they have established that the Hira protein has a role to play in the anti-viral fight, thus, making it have a fundamental role to play in fighting against cancer.The trick in using it to fight diseases may lie in increasing Hira levels in our cells. “I think what researchers might be interested in is how we can increase levels of this protein to deal with the viruses better, Dr Rai said.Dr Rai has led an international study and support has come from Cancer Research UK and the results are published in the journal Nucleic Acids Research. But there is a major concern that the research is still limited to the laboratory.It is going to take some time, probably years, before this work can move out of the lab and into clinics and hospitals. But the researchers are excited Hira will one day be the basis of a new approach in medicine.9．What does the underlined word “suppress" in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Motivate.B．Monitor.C．Control.D．Improve. 10．What can be known from the text?A．Hira has been used in the medical treatment.B．More studies should be done on Hira.C．The levels of Hira in cells are unchangeable.D．Hira can bring about side effects.11．What is the researchers' attitude to the future of Hira?A．Cautious.B．Optimistic.C．Disapproving.D．Doubtful.12．What's the text mainly about?A．A new way to use the protein.B．A new approach to improving the division of cells.C．A new medicine that can fight diseases.D．A protein that can stop viruses developing.DThere has been a lot of publicity (宣传) recently surrounding 5G, the next generation of wireless technology for the world. But what is this technology and how might it change our lives?What is 5G?5G stands for fifth generation, meaning the next step in the progression of technology to replace the current 4G system. 4G was the replacement for 3G, which came after 2G, and so on. These systems are wireless computer networks. Earlier “G” systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations. Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity. The new 5G system promises more of the same. It is expected to permit more users to do more things-at a faster rate. Higher internet speeds and larger network capacity should result in better performance for device users connected to 5G. However, technology experts say there is a major way that 5G is different than the earlier systems. It will move well beyond mobile network technology to affect many more devices and industries than other “G” versions.When will it be available?Before we can all use 5G, wireless companies and phone makers will have to complete and deploy (部署) a whole new system. New phones and communication equipment must be built. American wireless companies have been preparing for the new system for some time. They have been creating new network equipment and buying broadcasting space to carry 5G signals. They have built news G antennas(天线)to serve American cities and towns. Wireless providers will invest at least $275 billion n 5G-related networks in the United States, the industry group CTIA reported. The first U.S, launch of 5G is expected to happen sometime this year. Industry experts expect it will take a few more year to go nationwide. It will take even longer to reach rural areas. China is expected to launch 5G sometime in 2020, while European nations are likely to build their systems more slowly over time.13．Which system is widely used nowadays?A．5G.B．2G.C．3G D．4G.14．Which of the following is NOT 5G system’s advantage to the other Gs?A．It will allow more users to do more things.B．The internet speed will be much higher. C．The users will spend much less money on it.D．It will affect more devices and industries 15．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．5G system has nothing to do with phone makers.B．There is much work to do before 5G comes into use.C．New phones will be much smarter than those used now.D．4G system will be stopped as soon as 5G comes into use.16．In which order will the following countries use 5G system according to the passage? A．USA→China→European nations.B．China→USA→European nations. C．USA→European nations→China.D．European nations→China→USA．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。

2025届江苏省南通市崇川区高三上学期第一次调研考试英语试题一、阅读理解Eiffel Tower Tour by the LiftStanding tall at 1,063 feet, the Eiffel Tower is an iconic landmark in Paris. Being a popular tourist destination, thousands of people come to explore the beauty of the Eiffel Tower every day.The day of your visitEach e - ticket bears the name of its owner. Remember to bring ID for all of your group, including children. We may ask to see your ID, as well as any supporting documents for reduced rates （disability registration）.Make sure you check the time on your e - ticket. This is the time when you need to be on the esplanade, in a queue for “visitors with tickets”. We recommend arriving 15 minutes in advance so that you have time to make it through the security checks at the entrance.Eiffel tower ticket pricesCarry minimal belongingsThe Eiffel Tower does not have a locker room, so you will have to carry your belongings with you during the entirety of your visit. When you are caught in awe, it’s easy for eagle-eyed opportunists to do their tricks. Be mindful and carry minimal belongings such as your wallet,tickets, ID proof, and a water bottle. There is no left-luggage facility for non-permitted items, like wheeled suitcases, large luggage, non-folding buggies (童车) at the Eiffel Tower.1．Which of the following may not be shown on the e- ticket?A．The visitor’s name.B．The visiting time.C．The reduced rate.D．The ticket price.2．What’s the charge for a couple with twins aged 8 who take the lift to the top?A．42.30€.B．47.00€.C．66.20€.D．73.60€.3．What should you know when visiting the Eiffel Tower?A．Caution can help avoid theft.B．Drinks can’t be taken in the lift.C．Your bag can be kept in a locker.D．Folding buggies are not allowed.As the first African American woman to receive a medical degree in America, Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler challenged the prejudice that prevented African Americans and women from following medical careers.Born in 1831 in Christiana, Delaware, Crumpler spent her childhood in Pennsylvania with an aunt, who frequently cared for sick neighbors, and Crumpler went with her on these trips. In her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose usefulness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.”In 1852, Crumpler moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, to begin her medical career as a nurse. In the early 1850s, there was no formal school where one could become licensed to practice nursing. Even so, Crumpler assisted several doctors in Boston for eight years. They in turn supported her application to the New England Female Medical College, where she was awarded a state- funded scholarship.Crumpler worked hard at her studies but had to take a leave of absence after two years to attend to her sick husband, who unfortunately passed away in 1863. Months later, Crumpler returned to complete her final term but was nearly refused after some faculty members (教员) expressed worry regarding the amount of time it was taking her to complete her coursework andwere hesitant to let her come back. Luckily, with several of the school’s sponsors supporting her, Crumpler finally received a “Doctress of Medicine” from college, and began seeing patients in and around her house, treating them regardless of their ability to pay.In 1883, Dr. Crumpler published a book based on journal notes she kept during her years of practice. A Book of Medical Discourses, specifically aimed at women and the care of their children, is believed to be the first medical text written by an African American author. Scientific American describes it as the forerunner of the famous What to Expect When You’ re Expecting (1984). 4．What inspired Crumpler to take up medicine?A．The influence of her aunt.B．The desire to help the poor.C．Her family’s encouragement.D．The doctors’ financial support.5．Which of the following can best describe Crumpler?A．Humorous and easygoing.B．Caring and determined.C．Adventurous and sensitive.D．Optimistic and honest.6．Why did some teachers attempt to reject Crumpler’s returning to school?A．Her family couldn’t afford her education.B．She failed to follow the school regulations.C．They felt negative about her determination.D．They doubted her ability to finish her study.7．What do people think of Crumpler’s book according to the last paragraph?A．Inspiring but unrealistic.B．Accessible and interesting.C．Educational but complicated.D．Groundbreaking and practical.The estimated number of monarch butterflies migrating (迁徙) to Mexico for winter has reached its second - lowest level ever for the 2023 to 2024 overwintering season. The estimate, based on the size of the butterflies’ hibernating forest area, has dropped by about 59% from the previous year, according to officials.Experts are pointing to extensive heat and drought as well as climate change for the major decline. Now monarch butterflies face three primary threats, including habitat loss for their breeding and overwintering; the use of pesticides, which can be toxic (有毒的) to the butterflies or can kill their food source, milkweed; and climate change, which can shift their migratory patterns. By the 2022 to 2023 overwintering season, World Wildlife Fund reported a 22% drop in theamount of overwintering monarch butterflies in Mexico.According to WWF, monarch butterflies once covered about 45 acres of forested land in Mexico during their 1996 to 1997 overwintering season. Last year, they covered 5.5 acres. With the 59% decline, the 2023 overwintering season saw the butterflies covering just 2.2 acres, The Associated Press reported. The lowest coverage ever recorded was 1.65 acres from 2013 to 2014. The largest amount of butterflies observed for the current overwintering season were around the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.“This is not the first time we’ve observed changes in the locations of the largest monarch colonies,” Jorge Rickards, general director of WWF Mexico, said in a statement. “It’s telling us that we need to strengthen conservation and restoration measures not only in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, but also outside of it.” According to the Center for Biological Diversity, monarch butterflies have declined by 85% in the past 20 years. The eastern monarch butterflies migrate from Canada and the U. S. to Mexico for overwintering. Western monarchs, which overwinter in California, have declined 99% in the past two decades.In 2020, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service noted that these butterflies do warrant protections under the Endangered Species Act, but there were higher-priority species to consider for listing. Biologist Ryan Drum, who works with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, told The Associated Press that the latest count would be considered this year when officials consider whether to list migratory monarch butterflies as threatened or even endangered.8．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A．More butterflies are migrating to Mexico.B．The number of butterflies is getting larger.C．The size of forest area is decreasing faster.D．Monarch butterflies are facing survival crisis.9．How does the author show us the gravity of the problem concerning monarch butterflies?A．By listing concrete numbers.B．By describing typical scenes.C．By interviewing some scientists.D．By making reasonable predictions.10．What does Jorge Rickards suggest people do?A．Increase the number of the butterfly reserves.B．Observe the changing number of the butterflies.C．Take more actions to protect the butterflies.D．Distinguish eastern butterflies from western ones.11．What does the underlined word “warrant” mean in the last paragraph?A．Resist.B．Need.C．Support.D．Provide.A modern problem of the outdoor lifestyle is how to keep your devices powered. Battery packs are one option, but they have limited use and can be rather heavy. The team at Aurea Technologies has come to the rescue with the Shine Turbine, a lightweight wind-powered turbine (涡轮机) that offers renewable energy to outdoor enthusiasts who need to re charge electronic devices.Last year, the Shine Turbine launched a campaign that was fully funded in a matter of hours, highlighting the level of interest in this innovative product. Designed in Nova Scotia, Canada, the turbine weighs in at just three pounds and is about the size of a water bottle for easy pack-and-go accessibility. While out backpacking or working remotely, the Shine Turbine takes just a few minutes to set up. There are no loose pieces to worry about losing while you f old out the high-efficiency blades and place the turbine on the retractable stand (可伸缩支架). Everything you need is stored inside the container.This clean energy option also has battery storage, so you can charge your devices as the wind blows. Then you can take it with you for more charging later. It can also be pre - charged before you head out using a standard wall outlet.“Wind is the second-largest producer of clean energy in the world, yet most people don’t have direct access to it. As a team of outdoor enthusiasts with backgrounds in science and engineering, we set out to create a wind power product that gives users the freedom to produce their own clean energy day or night, rain, cloud, or shine,” said Cat Adalay, CEO and founder of Aurea Technologies.The portable design makes it convenient to use for day trip s to the beach or mountains, camping trips or as an emergency backup. “To live sustainably (可持续地), we need to rethink the ways in which we create and use energy,” added Adalay. “The simplicity of our design,two-minute setup, and ability to rapidly generate and store power, does just that. It’s a game-changer in allowing people to access wind energy in the wind.”12．What can we learn about the Shine Turbine from the text?A．It is intelligent and works efficiently.B．It is user- friendly but expensive to buy.C．It is sustainable and convenient to carry.D．It is cost- effective but breaks down easily. 13．What kind of people might need the Shine Turbine most according to the text?A．Emergency rescuers.B．Sea surfboarders.C．Rock- climbing lovers.D．Geological explorers.14．Why do the researchers create the Shine Turbine?A．Their product obtains financial support.B．They want to gain direct access to wind.C．They attempt to prevent global warming.D．Their desired life promotes green rethink. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Wind: the world’s second clean energy.B．Aurea Technologies: innovative pioneers C．The Shine Turbine: a green power product D．Outdoor lovers: environmentcampaignersGetting information out of a teenage boy can be difficult. The communication at this age features short answers to every question, a complete lack of eye contact. 16 Here are some ways for parents and other caregivers to learn how to talk to boys about their mental health.Many male teens don’t often show as much emotion or even give as many clues through body language. This requires parents and care providers to be much more attentive to facial expressions, and to the few words that they say. As parents, you need to talk less and listen more. Active listening will help earn his trust. 1718 Negative messages such as “Grow up.” or “Be a man.” send a message that being weak is wrong or that it’s not okay to feel what they are feeling. These types of messages keep boys from sharing their feelings.As a parent, a good way for any kind of personal or emotional question is to ask twice, but not too many times. The first time lets him know that you are interested; the second time shows that you care. 19 The bonds between parents and teenagers are proven to reduce anxiety and depression.Moreover, when a teen boy is willing to communicate, don’t interrupt. If you don’t let him finish talking, he may stop talking altogether. 20 When he’s ready to listen to you, let him know you will be with him together.A．Frank communication requires acceptance.B．Over time, he will be more likely to open up.C．Even if what you’ re hearing is scary, stay calm.D．Their eyes roll when you ask them about their life.E．Parents need to know more about male mental health.F．Communication is effective in the process of exercising.G．Showing concern and respect for personal space allows close ties.二、完形填空Last week I attended my aunt’s funeral (葬礼).

ASummer is finally in the air, but that doesn't mean you can't still stay in and have a great movie night. Whether you're looking for something deep and thought-provoking or light for the whole family, there are many incredible films on Netflix.The Matrix (1999)IMDb(Internet Movie Database): 8.7/10 | Runtime: 136 minutesThe Matrix is a science fiction film that stars Keanu Reeves as a hacker who discovers the world he lives in is an illusion crafted by malevolent Artificial Intelligence. The movie presents the very best in technical filmmaking, winning four Oscars. With thrilling action and a complex story, it's a must-see.American Symphony(2023)IMDb:7.9/10 | Runtime: 104 minutesEven if you just watch the trailer for American Symphony,you will be in tears.The documentary（纪录片）tells the story of Grammy winner Jon Batiste and his wife, Suleika Jaouad. It's a beautiful tale of love and resilience,with Variety Magazine calling it “one of the best love stories seen on film.”Nyad (2023)IMDb:7.1/10 | Runtime: 121 minutesAs expected from most sports dramas and biopics, Nyad shares a story of perseverance, the triumphs of determination,and a message of hope. It engages the audience with its solid foundation while entertaining through grounded drama based on reality instead of relying on cheap cliches（陈词滥调）.Society of the Snow (2023)IMDb:7.7/10 | Runtime: 144 minutesIn 1972,a Uruguayan flight crashed on the way to Chile ,and the survivors of the wreck had to work together to survive in the of the Snow.With a budget of 60 million euros, the film is the most expensive Spanish film ever made.21.For those who value online scoring, which film would be their top choice?A.The Matrix.B.American Symphony.C.Nyad.D.Society of the Snow.22. What do the last three films have in common?A.They are high-budget films.B. They are based on true stories.C.They have the duration within two hours.D. They have been successful at the box office.23.Who is the text intended for?A.Film critics.B.Film makers.C.Movie-goers.D.Cinema staff.BI used to want to be a zookeeper, but after becoming a wildlife rescue worker, I found that this work is even more valuable than I thought. Not only can I help injured wild animals, but I can also facilitate their return to the wild. We make every effort to accomplish this goal: hiding food under rocks and fallen leaves to simulate（模拟）a natural environment, or doing our best to maintain some distance from the animals and prevent them from bonding with humans.I am often asked whether I feel at all sad when it's time to release the animals-to tell you the truth, I'm always pretty willing to let them go. All of my efforts have been toward allowing them to return to the wild, and the wild iswhere they belong, so there's no reason for reluctance on my part. But it is true that sometimes there is no way for an animal to go back to the wild, or to keep it from bonding with humans.Last year, I rescued a light-vented bulbul（白头鹎）.The bird, initially lacking feathers,recovered under our care. It was scheduled for release during its adolescent period, during which it's relatively easy to socialize.But an injury to its flight feathers delayed its return to the wild.The bird imprinted on humans during the following two months,which was a critical cognitive（认知的）development period,leading it to return to us after being released.When we engage in widlife rescue ,we have to teach animals how to maintain a high degree of caution around humans. If they become too trusting of humans, it is very likely that way,our success depends not on the animals, or on our work here, but more so on the attitude humans would not be a bad thing, and our release attempt could then be successful.24.What do we know about the author's job?A. It was his initial career choice.B. It forbids close interaction with animals.C. It mainly aims to cure the injured animals.D.It involves both rescue and release efforts25. Which of the following best describes the author's feeling to release the rescued animals?A.Ambitious.B.Cheerful.C.Sorrowful.D.Anxious.26.Which is closest in meaning to “imprinted on” in paragraph 3?A.Was attached to.B.Was aware of.C.Was sensitive to.D.Was cautious of.27.What is the key to the success of wildlife rescue work?A.Animals' faith in humans.B.Human's knowledge in the work.C. Human's attitude towards animals.D. Animals' ability to survive in the wild.CRena, 18 months, is a baby worker at a Japanese nursing home, hired to brighten the days of residents whose own grandchildren may rarely visit. The infants'（婴儿）presence s meant to ease the loneliness that can come with growing older, especially in the rapidly ageing nation where a third of the population is over 65.The nursing home's director, Kimie Gondo, came up with the idea of baby workers three years ago when her own newborn granddaughter was visiting and she saw how happy it mad ethe residents. The nursing home now has about 70 baby workers strolling around the nursing home with their parents, mostly mothers.Rena and her colleagues are paid in diapers（纸尿裤）and ice cream. But those are not the only rewards. “Here she gets to interact with kids her age and also with grandfathers and grandmothers who are a bit more difficult to come across,” said Shinohara, Rena's mother,who called the nursing home residents “great life teachers”.Rena and her small colleagues work flexible hours but they don't have long in the business-having to retire before the age of three. A key requirement for the toddlers is that they should speak as little as possible. That's because older people can struggle to speak and communicate,especially if they have cognitive impairment(认知障碍）,”In order to communicata on the same level,words are unnecessary,” she added.For nursing home residents ,Gondo said ,the visits from toddlers provide the common experience of family members from multiple generations living under the same roof.“Even if they enter a facility like this ,they should be able to interact with people from various age groups on a daily basis,”she said. “I think that's only natural.”28.Why does Kimie Gondo carry out her idea in the nursing home?A.To provide jobs for mothers.B. To prevent the elderly from ageing.C. To amuse grandchildren during visits.D. To promote the well-being of residents.29. What's the extra benefit for the baby workers according to Shinohara?A.Tasty snacks.B.Parent-kid relationship.C.Daily essentials.D. Interpersonal experience.30.Why is there a restriction on retiring age of baby workers?A.Words might lessen the effect.B. Flexible hours could be guaranteed.C.Cognitive Impairment could be avoided.D.Over-aged workers have low language levels.31.Which can be the best title of this passage?A.Babies helping remove cognitive barriersB.Babies replacing caregivers in nursing homesC.Baby workers tackling loneliness of the elderlyD. Baby workers running a Japanese nursing homeDChildren exposed to videos by caregivers for their calming or “babysitting” benefits tended to use phrases and sentences with fewer words. A new study from Southern Methodist University psychologist Sarah Kucker and colleagues reveals that passive video use among children can negatively affect language development, but their caregiver's motivations for exposing them to digital media could also lessen the impact.Published in the journal Acta Paediatrica, the study involved 302 caregivers of children between 17 and 30 months. Caregivers answered questions about their child's words,sentences,and how much time they spend on different media activities each day. Those activities included video/TV, video games, video chat, and e-books, with caregivers explaining why they use each activity with their child. Print book reading was also compared.Researchers looked at the amount of media use and the reasons provided by caregivers for their children's media use. These factors were then compared to the children's vocabulary and length using two or more words together.The research reveals a negative association between high levels of digital media watching and children's vocabulary development. However, the negative impact on language skills was lessened when videos were used for educational purposes or to foster social connections-such as through video chats with family members.Kucker acknowledges that parents often use digital media to occupy children while they complete tasks. She suggests that caregivers need to consider what kind of videos and how much their children are watching, and whether they can interact with them during this period.Future research by Kucker and her colleagues will continue to explore the types of videos young children watch, how they use screens with others, and how that impacts language development.32.What is the potential impact of being exposed to videos by caregivers on children?A.It enhances their vocabulary development.B. It has no significant effect on their language skills.C. It leads to the use of shorter phrases and sentences.D. It encourages them to read print books more often.33. What do paragraph 2 and 3 tell us about the study?A.Its research process.B.Its theoretical basis.C. Its underlying logic.D. Its scientific evidence.34.Under what circumstance can the negative impact be lessened?A. When children focus on tasks.B.When children get involved in the content.C.When videos serve as entertainment.D.When videos aid learning and bond building.35.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To point out the significance of the study.B. To bring out the focus of follow-up studies.C. To present the practical application of the findings.D. To discuss other affecting factors of babies' growth.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。
