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

湖南省长沙市长郡中学2024-2025学年高三上学期月考试卷(一)英语试卷一、阅读理解As Pakistan and China are marking 2023 as a Year of Tourism, Pakistan’s breathtaking natural beauty, diverse cultural heritage and historical landmarks are all set to catch the attentionof tourists.Balochistan: Nature’s Bounty UnveiledStretching across vast expanses, Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest province, boasting not only abundant mineral resources but unique natural beauty. Its mountain ranges, mines and extensive coastal belt, which is home to the prosperous Gwadar Port, attract adventurers.Punjab: A Tapestry of History and HeritageIn the heart of Pakistan lies Punjab province, a land of green agricultural fields, intricate (交错的) river networks, ancient forts and charming Mughal-era gardens. Over two millennia (千年) ago, the Gandhara Buddhist civilization thrived in northern Pakistan, with Taxil a serving as its primary center of learning.Sindh: A Tapestry of History and CultureSindh, in Pakistan’s southern region, weaves together a tale of history and natural beauty. Itis home to the ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro, a relic of the Indus Valley Civilization, along with the modern city of Karachi and its picturesque coastline.Northern Pakistan: Nature’s MasterpieceSpread over 72,496 square kilometers, Pakistan’s northern regions are a masterpiece of nature. Among towering peaks, including numerous summits over 8,000 meters, peaceful valleys like Gilgit, Hunza and Skardu offer a brief escape.As Pakistan invites the world to explore its diverse and fascinating landscapes, it also extends a warm invitation to discovery the history, spirituality and natural wonders that define this remarkable nation.1.As a Buddhist, your favorite destination in Pakistan might be __________.A.Balochistan B.Punjab C.Sindh D.Gilgit2.What do the four parts have in common?A.Natural beauty.B.Historical origin.C.Cultural relics.D.Diverse resources.3.The passage serves as a(n) __________.A.guidance B.introduction C.commercial D.noticeThere comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. After listening to different voices, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water. In 1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescue d 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project. When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today.

With the world population expanding, there’s ever-increasing pressure on farmland to produce not only more food but also clean energy. In places such as Yakima County, Washington, it’s created competition for space as land-hungry solar panels (板) consume available fields. Last month, the state approved plans to cover 1,700 acres of agricultural land with solar panels, fueling concerns over the long-term impacts of losing cropland.A recent study from the University of California, however, shows how farmers may soon harvest crops and energy together. One researcher, Majdi Abou Najm, explains that visible light spectrum (光谱) can be separated into blue and red light waves, and their photons (光子) have different properties. Blue ones have higher energy than red ones. While that gives blue light what is needed to generate power, it also results in higher temperatures. “From a plant angle, redphotons are the efficient ones,” says Abou Najm. “They don’t make the plant feel hot.”A goal of the study is to create a new generation of solar panels. He sees potential in the organic solar cells, which come from carbon-based materials. Thin and transparent, the cells are applied like a film onto various surfaces. This new technology could be used to develop special solar panels that block blue light to generate power, while passing the red light on to crops planted directly below. These panels could also provide shade for heat-sensitive fruits during the hottest part of the day.By 2050, we’ll have two billion more people, and we’ll need more food and more energy. By maximizing the solar spectrum, “we’re making full use of an endlessly sustainable resource,” says Abou Najm. “If a technology kicks in that can develop these panels, then the sky is the limit on how efficient we can be.”8.What problem does the first paragraph focus on?A.Losing cropland to solar panels.B.Distribution of the world population.C.Reduction in forests and grasslands.D.Competing for land between farmers.9.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Generation of solar power.B.Hot weather increasing efficiency.C.Blue photons having higher energy.D.Separation of visible light spectrum.10.What do we know about the organic solar cells?A.They make fruits heat-sensitive.B.They can cool down in hot days,C.They allow red light to pass through.D.They can store carbon-based materials.11.What does Abou Najm think of the future of the new solar panels?A.Limited.B.Promising.C.Uncertain.D.Challenging.While Industry 5.0 is believed to have started in 2020, the rise of AI in recent years has led experts to say it is now coming. Imagine AI-powered robots that see, hear, touch and more, pooling fresh data from across those groups of sensors to create that data with the vast ranges of digital data stored elsewhere online. The age is a major leap from the First Industrial Revolution, when steam engine started to achieve widespread commercial use.Professor John Nosta says, “The integration of sensory capabilities into AI models is not merely a technological leap. It represents a shift in our philosophical understanding of artificial and human intelligence.”He has also referred to the new era as “the Cognitive (认知) Age,” which will completely change how humans live, work, and think about themselves. According to Nosta, humans don’t typically think of computers as “experiencing” the world themselves. But that assumption will be challenged as more advanced AI systems are hooked up to ever more and ever greater sensors. The machines won’t just be logic boxes that humans input data and commands for processing. The AI will collect that data more and more on its own, experiencing the world for itself.“This is not just about understanding words, but also about grasping the tone, pitch (音高), and emphasis, which add layers of meaning often absent in written text. Image recognition adds another layer of complexity,” he added. “For example, it can analyze photographs, identify objects, and even understand the emotional content of facial expressions.”The Johannesburg-based business school is just one of many college-level programs attempting to investigate and teach its students about the still-emerging IR 5.0. Seton Hall in New Jersey offers a three-credit course on this latest age in human technology and trade; MIT has brought in guest speakers to lecture on the concept, and many other research institutions are following suit.12.Where does IR 5.0 differ from previous industrial revolution?A.It processes data and commands.B.It interacts with humans through texts.C.It enhances human sensory capabilities.D.It employs more senses in its application. 13.Why is IR 5. 0 called the Cognitive age?A.AI collects and interprets data itself.B.AI turns written texts into voice.C.AI understands written language well.D.AI has an ability of expressing emotions 14.How do some colleges address IR 5.0?A.By offering related courses.B.By expecting more industrial revolution.C.By applying AI to the technological trade.D.By preparing for the rapid economic changes.15.What is the best title for the text?A.Al Is Approaching Us Gradually B.A New IR Is About Machine LearningC.AI Has Developed Its Own Senses D.We Are Entering IR 5.0 NowPursue Y our 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? 16 You don’t have to take a huge, life-changing step. You can take minute steps toward a brighter future. And start right now.17 If 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. 18 Embrace 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 to follow 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As a first-generation Asian immigrant(移民)who had grown up in poverty, I knew I was beyond 21 to be admitted into Harvard.

I don’t know how to regroup or borrow. I’m not good at subtracting (减法). Or I don’ t know my facts yet, and I’ m a fifth-grader, ” Mayfield’ s students used to tell him. The 42-year-old maths teacher from Fort Worth, Texas, knew it was important to try something new, especially because most of his students were also struggling outside of the classroom. “Single parent homes, parents put in prison, low financial stability-a lot of misfortunes that were going on, ” he said.To reach students in a way that was familiar and inviting, he brought rap music to the classroom. Mayfield played an instrumental beat to a rap song. He got his students excited. Then they started to rap about decimal(十进位)point places. “Let’ s start with the tenths. Like a dime to a dollar, there’s 1 out of 10. Then we move to the hundredths, one part out of many. One out of 100, we call that a penny. . . “ rapped Mayfield and students.Pareece Morehouse, one of Mayfield’s former students, is now in tenth grade and loves old-school rap. Before Mr. Mayfield’s class, Morehouse didn’t like maths and struggled with it. But pairing the difficult subject with music was game-changing for her.“I can recall myself at home doing homework and just singing the song in my head, helping me understand, ” Morehouse said. “It was really a great way to help me make it through maths. ”“Students will produce work if you reach them where they are and take notes on what they’re interested in, whether that’s music, art or sports. It’s important to use things that resonate (共鸣)with them, ” said Mayfield.4.What led Thomas Mayfield to try something new in his teaching?A.His out-of-date teaching routines.B.Urgent requests of students’ parents.C.Disadvantaged conditions of students.D.Students’ devotion to study after school.5.How did Thomas Mayfield teach the kids?A.By explaining the maths principles.B.By asking them to do more exercises.C.By instructing the kids to write music.D.By combining musical notes with maths.6.What does Thomas Mayfield highlight in class?A.Educators must inspire the kids’ interest first.B.Rules should be set for learners in advance.C.Each student should be treated equally.D.Importance must be attached to music.7.What could be the best title for the text?A.Never Too Late to LearnB.The Keys to Teaching MathsC.Hard Work Turns into Heart WorkD.Curious Minds Never Feel ContentedAlarming levels of dangerous chemicals known as Perfluorinated Alkylated Substances (PFAS) were discovered in food packaging at a number of well-known fast-food restaurants and grocery store chains, a new report found. The report comes more than two years into the Covid-19 pandemic, when the public has relied heavily on takeout and grocery deliveries.Often called “forever chemicals” because they do not break down in the environment, PFAS are used in food packaging to prevent grease (油脂) and water from soaking through food wrappers and cups. PFAS can also be found in the ink used to print logos and instructions on food containers.The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls exposure to PFAS a “public health concern”, citing that the human-made chemicals can harm the immune system and reduce a person’s resistance to infectious diseases.Regulatory limits for how much PFAS food packaging should contain can vary greatly.For instance, a new law in California set the limit at less than 100 ppm. “Compared to America, Denmark sets a much lower regulatory limit of 20 ppm with great success,” said Xenia Trier, an expert at the European Environment Agency. “It does work to set limits and enforce them. PFAS do migrate from the paper into the food. Even though it was not 100%, we still saw considerable transmission. In general, transmission from packaging to food is increased as the temperature of the food rises. It is the same with the time spent in wrapping materials.” Trier told NBS, one of the major American mass-media companies.In response to the issue, Whole Foods became the first grocery chain to publicly commit to remove PFAS from takeout containers and bakery paper. Many other companies followed suit. Experts say people who want to avoid PFAS in their takeout and food delivery packaging should favor companies that have promised to remove the chemicals. “As soon as you receive your takeout, you’d better take food out of the container immediately, and never reheat food in its original container. Instead, remove your food and heat it in ceramic (陶瓷的) or glass containers.” Trier said.8.What can we learn about PFAS in food packaging?A.They have been used for two years.B.They do little harm to consumers’ health.C.They are used to break down the chemicals.D.They can make wrappers resistant to grease and water.9.What is Xenia Trier’s attitude to setting a lower limit of PFAS?A.Favorable.B.Neutral.C.Ambiguous.D.Opposed.10.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?A.Considerable migration of grease and water.B.PFAS transmission from packaging to food.C.Wrapper exposure to high food temperature.D.Regulatory limits concerning food packaging.11.What is the main idea of the text?A.Food packaging contains dangerous chemicals.B.Consumers are recommended to have PFAS-free products.C.PFAS found in food packaging has become a great concern.D.The government has taken measures to reduce PFAS exposure.Teenagers whose non-cognitive (非认知的) skills are poorly developed are more likely to suffer from health problems later in life, according to a new research by a group of experts from the University of Manchester.Rose Atkins of that university, along with her colleagues set out to investigate noncognitive skills as they are one of the least explored determining factors of health and well-being, despite the fact that evidence surrounding their importance is growing quickly.These skills are conscientiousness (尽责性), which tells how hardworking, careful and stubborn an adolescent is, and neuroticism (神经质), which shows how worried, unhappy and fearful an adolescent is,The researchers used data on a group of individuals who were followed throughout their life and carried out statistical analysis to study the relationship between adolescent non-cognitive skills and later-life health. The non-cognitive skills were reported by teachers, based on the behavior of students at age 16.The study found that individuals whose adolescent conscientiousness is higher deal with stress in adulthood better, and are at a lower risk of some diseases. And individuals whose adolescent neuroticism is higher have a poorer, health related quality of life in adulthood and are at a greater risk of some diseases.The researchers conclude that policies to improve adolescent conscientiousness and reduce adolescent neuroticism would offer the most long-term health benefits to those with the poo-rest health, “There is a growing body of evidence that suggests school-based interventions to improve non-cognitive skills can have lasting positive effects on important life outcomes,” said Rose. “Extra-curricular activities and work experience have also been shown to improve these skills. Having a greater focus on the improvement of non-cognitive skills at both primary and secondary school levels would be a positive policy decision, However, these skills are also determined by factors like family income, parental education, and parental investment. There-tore, more complex public policy is needed to reduce social inequality.”12.What can be inferred about non-cognitive skills?A.They can fall into three categories.B.They are mainly developed in childhood.C.Their importance has been totally ignored.D.Their impact on health doesn’t get enough attention.13.How did the researchers do their research?A.They carried out a large survey.B.They collected data from individuals.C.They followed 16-year-old individuals.D.They compared data from other research.14.What do the researchers think their findings suggest?A.Improving teens’ non- cognitive skills isn’t that challenging.B.Schools should reduce the time for extra-curricular activities.C.Measures should be taken to improve teens’ non-cognitive skills.D.Social inequality is the major cause of poor non-cognitive skills.15.What is the main idea of the text?A.Teens’ health in later life can be predicted.B.Teachers can improve students’ non-cognitive skills,C.The importance of non-cognitive skills is being recognized.D.Non-cognitive skills in adolescents affect their health in later life.二、七选五What exactly is the importance of teachers in the current educational landscape? The lastSuch people, however, have completely ignored the one thing that makes studying in a proper classroom irreplaceable and that is the importance of teachers.The internet has more information about any given topic than any one person can ever hope to possess. 17 Knowing that ‘tomato is a fruit’ is information, and not putting it in a fruit salad is wisdom. This example does a perfect job in illustrating just how important wisdom is in the day to day life. Books and the internet can give you information, but only a teacher can pass on wisdom. 18Understanding the reason for the poor performance of a particular child and helping them overcome their weakness while also pushing the top performers to do better are things only a teacher can do.You can develop the most amazing online tutoring platform and fill it with amazing andinteresting videos but it is never enough. 19 But videos are made for a general audience. They can hardly be sufficient for the problems that students face in their life outside the classroom. Only teachers who have spent time with their students can guide the students in a way that can help them figure a way out of any problem they might be facing in their life.20 While the list of reasons stating the importance of teachers is a bit too long to put in a single article, these two are sufficient to silence anyone who believes that going to school to be taught by proper teachers will soon become obsolete.A.Wisdom, however, is something that it badly lacks.B.Every single student is unique in his or her own way.C.Teachers are also important in shaping the future of the youth.D.On this point, the importance of teachers should never be understated.E.Everything people can possibly learn is freely available on the internet.F.Many argue that they might one day completely replace formal schooling.G.These are just two ways that teachers have a massive impact on their students.三、完形填空made the donation.The surgery was a success, with no 32 . “It’s really just a story about simple 33 ,” Susan Ellis says. “For us, it started with two people just being good humans.”Rodney Wimbush says he will be forever 34 that his wife decided to 35 a subject about blood types in the office restroom.21.A.Hence B.Nevertheless C.Thus D.Otherwise 22.A.transformation B.translation C.transmission D.transplant 23.A.perfect B.consistent C.legal D.random 24.A.on B.over C.in D.at 25.A.comforting B.commanding C.complaining D.composing 26.A.come up B.put up C.give up D.make up 27.A.predicted B.worried C.guaranteed D.insisted 28.A.competence B.diligence C.dependence D.coincidence 29.A.proposal B.demand C.solution D.negotiation 30.A.reviewed B.revealed C.restricted D.restored 31.A.motivation B.participation C.conversation D.conservation 32.A.reception B.refusal C.registration D.rejection 33.A.courage B.kindness C.sympathy D.honesty 34.A.hopeful B.careful C.regretful D.grateful 35.A.bring about B.bring down C.bring up D.bring out四、用单词的适当形式完成短文Readers share their opinions.SteveCongratulations to Huawei and all the engineers 42 have been working hard in semi-conductor areas!

Ironically, on the very day of her arrival in Shanghai, Huawei released Mate 60 Pro, which can be seen as a resounding rebuttal to US sanctions and a significant challenge to the Secretary’s position. It might be fitting to consider sending a Huawei Mate 60 Pro as a parting gift to Secretary Raymond.五、其他应用文46.Someone says, like a musical symphony, life has high and low moments, and somewhere in between are those moments we call “bittersweet”.请结合以上材料,给你校英文报写一篇短文,介绍你高中生活中的不同时刻,并总结经过这些时刻后,你对生活的态度或认识。

“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and joy to life and to everything,” the ancient Greek philosopher Plato said.This is one of Don Spencer’s favorite mottos that he firmly believes. “We know that music brings joy and comfort, and makes us feel happy,” Spencer says, “But research has also discovered music plays a powerful role in the mental development of children. Music inspires creativity, imagination and self-expression. It also builds self-respect and is good for memory skills.”The power of musicMuch research supports both Spencer and Plato. A Stanford University study found that musical training improves the way the brain processes the spoken word.Research from Canada found that children aged four to six years old who had music lessons had better memories, as well as higher ability to read and write and math’s levels.Not in the curriculumResearch from Australia shows it’s not that smart kids play music; it’s that music makes kids smarter. It supports Spencer’s call for music to be a standard part of the school curriculum, like English and Math.“Music is everywhere, but not at 75 percent of public schools around Australia who don't have a devoted music teacher,” Spencer says. “It's sad that many children don’t have access to formal musical education, particularly when it has such an effect on a child’s development.”Ideally, Spencer would like every child to learn an instrument. “Kids can access cheap instruments like a ukulele, recorder or harmonica,” Spencer says. He says the Internet has a lot of free videos which teach you how to play instruments.“I can't stress enough how important music is,” he says. “It builds relationships, unites people and, most importantly, it is fun.”1.Plato’s words are mentioned at the beginning of the text to show that ________. A.music was important in ancient time B.everything is based on music C.Spencer admires Plato D.music has magic power2.From the research from Australia mentioned in the passage, we can learn ________. A.music can make children smarterB.children aged four to six have better memoriesC.there are no professional music teachers in AustraliaD.music is a standard part of the school curriculum in most schools3.What might be the best title for the passage?A.When Music is taught B.Why Music MattersC.Why We Learn Instruments D.How Children Learn MusicYou’ve just come home, after living abroad for a few years. Since you’ve been away, has this country changed for the better—or for the worse?If you’ve just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight’s holiday, small changes have probably surprised you—anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by amobile-phone shop to someone in your street moving house.So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed—or now take for granted? To find out, we asked some people who recently returned. Debi: When we left, Cheltenham, my home town, was a town of white, middle-class families—all very conservative (保守的). The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners.Having been an immigrant (移民) myself, I admire people who go overseas to find a job. Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high, I’d think differently, but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they’re more open-minded andoften work harder than the natives.Christine: As we flew home over Britain, both of us remarked how green everything looked. But the differences between the place we’d left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed.To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening—in Cyprus, they’re very relaxed—and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metal-made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seemed to be on guard. Even the airport car-hire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.But anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. I just wish more people would appreciate what they’ve got.4.After a short overseas holiday, people tend to _______.A.notice small changesB.expect small changesC.welcome small changesD.exaggerate small changes5.How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?A.Cautiously.B.Positively.C.Sceptically.D.Critically.6.When arriving at the airport in Britain, Christine was shocked by _______.A.the relaxed policemenB.the messy arrivals hallC.the tight securityD.the bank robbers7.Which might be the best title for the passage?A.Life in Britain.B.Back in Britain.C.Britain in Future.D.Britain in Memory.“You’ll get square eyes!” my mother used to say as I sat for hour after hour glued to the TV. I ignored her, of course. Past-forward a few decades and now I’m the parent. My5-year-old lives in a world where screens aren’t fixed pieces of furniture. You can’t even avoid them by going outside. Screens are not only in our pockets; they’re everywhere.The concerns have grown with the screens. In the past decade, we have heard that they will damage our mental health. Many of us feel more distracted by them, feeling guiltier and more tired as a result.The apps and websites we can access on our phones have also sparked widespread concern. Big tech companies are also good at making use of our need for social recognition, hooking us on likes, retweets and follower counts. Social media has created a culture of mass narcissism (自恋), which has led many to worry about the emotional stresses on teenagers. A quick online search brings up dozens of papers linking screen use or social media with harmful effects on mental health, including depression and suicide.Such statements are alarming. They are also widely believed, thanks to popular books like iGen by Jean Twenge, which claims that digital technology has ruined a generation. Yet, Amy Orben at the University of Oxford, who studies the impact of digital technology and social media in particular on mental health, holds different views. She claims that the underlying data can be used to tell different stories. She also spotted shortcomings in several large studies that claimed to show correlations (相关性) between the use of devices with screens and depression in users.Twenge stands by her own finding, pointing in turn to what she considers flaws in Orben’s research methods. For David Max, at Royal College of Child Health in London, the effect of screen time and social media use on mental health remains speculative. “We cannot regard social media overall as good or bad,” says Davie. “We don’t know whether in individual cases social media is not responsible,” he says.The explosion of mobile phone use has revolutionized our lives. I can download movies, write articles, communicate with my family and broadcast to the world all at the push of a button. Rather than impose constraints (限制), we should take a look at our use of screens and ask how they fit with the activities and lifestyle.Every new technology with widespread impact has given rise to new fears. So the best bet may simply be to ask yourself what level of screen use makes you and those around you happy and try to stick to it. If you find yourself over addictive, don’t panic—and certainlydon’t feel guilty. Nobody knows anything worth getting scared about.8.According to the passage, people give likes, retweet or count followers to __________. A.share one’s lifestyles B.show respect for othersC.seek social recognition D.relieve emotional stresses9.The underlined word “speculative” probably means “__________”.A.doubtful B.specificC.important D.abstract10.What can be learned from the passage?A.Teenagers are more affected by screen use both physically and mentally.B.Orben claims it is far too early to blame screen use for ruining a generation.C.Big tech companies help to produce many research papers on mental health. D.Twenge mainly introduces the overall benefits of digital technology in her books. 11.The passage is written to __________.A.encourage readers to reduce the time of screen useB.share different opinions on the effects of screen useC.explain why screen use may have negative effects on peopleD.relieve people’s concerns and worries about the use of screensThe Brazilian scientists were in disbelief after seeing the results. They tested different models to re-check their information. But all returned the same. The country with the most freshwater resources in the world had lost 15 percent of its surface water since 1991.Evaporation (蒸发) is a part of the natural process that can lessen water resources. This is especially true in areas with low water levels like the Pantanal wetlands. But the scientists believe something else is happening.Experts have warmed human activity is affecting the world’s weather patterns. It is causing extreme events to happen more often, such as severe droughts and floods. The cutting and burning of forest and the building of large hydroelectric factories and dams for watering crops all affect natural patterns.In Brazil’s Amazon rainforest, water evaporates then travels on air flows to provide rainfall far away. But some climate experts say if too much forest is destroyed, the Amazon will start an irreparable process of becoming a savannah (大草原).There are more immediate effects for worry, like possible power shortages this year.Hydroelectric reservoirs have had ten years of lower-than-usual rainfall. Reservoirs in the Parana River area have never before been overused.The Parana River and its connected water bodies supply fresh water to some 40 million people. That includes the large city of Sao Paolo and several states. Fishing communities and farmers also depend on these water bodies.Brazil’s decreasing water resources may also worsen fires that people set each winter to clear land. The fires then bum out of control. Last year, more than 25 percent of Brazil’s Pantanal was on fire. It was the worst yearly damage since officials began keeping records in 2003. In areas without roads, moving on smaller rivers can be a problem because of low water levels, Rabelo said. That means firefighters could soon have trouble reaching some fires. And, even if they can, less water is available to put them out.12.What was the Brazilian scientists’ reaction to their findings?A.Satisfied.B.Disappointed.C.Shocked.D.Overjoyed. 13.Which of the following belongs to “something else” in the third paragraph? A.Evaporation.B.Building dams.C.Power shortage.D.Fishing. 14.What can we know from the passage?A.Brazil lacks roads for firefighters to reach fires.B.The destruction of the rainforest may affect the rainfall.C.Brazil’s people set fires to keep wild animals away in winter.D.Reservoirs in the Parana River area is useless due to water shortage.15.What is the best title of the passage?A.Water Study Raises Fears for Drought B.Brazil’s Forest Is Disappearing C.More Water, More Happiness D.Cherish Water, Extend Life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。

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

江苏省苏州中学校2023-2024学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解The classic road trip is more popular than ever. Here are several places to hit the open(1) Colo-road TripsThe Colorado Tourism Office has made it easy for travelers to explore the state’s 24 Scenic Historic Byways. A new microsite includes an interactive map that enables travelers to explore options by region, interest or season. Visitors seeking inspiration can also access insider tips and side-trip suggestions within more than 150 Colo-road Trip itineraries (行程). The flexible itineraries offer suggestions for historic attractions, active adventures and highlight cultural opportunities.(2) The Bear-tooth HighwayVisitors who travel this extraordinary path experience the visual landscape of Montana, Wyoming and Yellowstone Park, home to Bear-tooth mountains. The windy, cliff-hugging 68-mile stretch introduces road explorers to one of the most diverse ecosystems accessible by auto. Amazingly beautiful, this All-American Road displays wide highlands, painted with(3) Seward Highway, AlaskaThe road that connects Anchorage to Seward is a 127-mile treasure, including natural beauty, wildlife and stories of endurance. Take a day or several to explore the region that has earned three-fold recognition as a Forest Service Scenic Byway, an Alaskan Scenic Byway and an All-American Road. The drive begins at the base of the Chugach Mountains, hugs the scenic shores of Turn-again Arm and winds through mining towns, national forests and fishing villages as you imagine what fur traders and gold prospectors (掘金者) might have experienced in the past.(4) The Lighthouse Trail, MaineTravel the 375 miles between Kittery and Calais, Maine, visit lighthouses along the way, and learn about the dangers that seagoing boats and their crew experienced along the rocky coast. Hear tales of the difficult and lonely life led by those who kept the lights burning brightly. If possible, visit the Maine Lighthouse Museum, where artifacts and hands-on exhibits for children provide an attractive break.1.What is special about each place mentioned above?A.Tourists of Colo-road Trips are offered adaptable trip plans.B.Visitors to the Bear-tooth Highway can enjoy the auto display.C.Drivers along Seward Highway can admire the treasure underground.D.The Lighthouse Trail offers chances to row seagoing boats on the sea.2.Which place may appeal to kids according to the passage?A.Colo-road Trips.B.The Bear-tooth Highway.C.Seward Highway, Alaska.D.The Lighthouse Trail, Maine.3.The best title for the passage is ____.A.Recognition for classic places B.American popular road tripsC.All-American highway journey D.Stories of adventure along road tripsAs a child, Liu Wenwen didn’t like the suona, a “loud” traditional Chinese musical instrument, also an ancestral treasure of her family that was to become her career.Liu says she felt ashamed. In the 1990s, people admired things that were modern and international. The suona was considered out of date. Her father’s family has performed with the suona for seven generations, while the tradition on her mother’s side of the family can be traced back to the early Qing Dynasty. Despite her unwillingness, she followed her parents to play the suona as early as 3 years old. Besides it, Liu has also learned traditional Chinese vocal music and dancing — skills that have improved her oral muscles and sense of rhyme, helping equip her to be a professional musician.It wasn’t until 2008 that she first found suona music beautiful. That was when she entered the Shanghai Conservatory of Music to learn the instrument more systematically from Liu Ying, a professor and top player. “The music played by the professor is just amazing, and different from what I had heard before,” she says.She loves exchanging ideas about suona playing techniques with her students. “It’s wonderful to see the younger generation carrying on this cultural tradition.” Liu Wenwen said she is pleased to see the suona regain popularity among young people, sometimes combined with jazz, opera and other art forms. This has stopped its decline in the 1990s. Her name, when mentioned on China’s social media platforms, often is followed by a video of her live performance at a concert in Sydney, Australia. Westerners were amazed by the loud, unfamiliar instrument and its colorful music. “I felt my hard work had paid off. I trained for over 20 years, probably just to win cheers and applause for traditional Chinese music on the international stage.”4.What urged Liu Wenwen to learn to play the suona?A.Career pressure.B.Social trend.C.Family tradition.D.Her professor’s performance.5.What has helped her become a professional musician?A.Her early passion for suona.B.Her exposure to vocal music and dance.C.Her learning knowledge of rhyme.D.Her performing experiences with family. 6.How did Liu begin to find suona music beautiful?A.By learning from the famous professor Liu.B.By visiting Shanghai Conservatory of Music.C.By combining suona with other music forms.D.By watching her family performing with suona.7.What is implied in the last paragraph?A.She is now working as a professor overseas.B.She appreciates the value of her performance.C.She has made a fortune after 20 years’ devotion.D.She has amazed Westerners with her hard work.Science is a process that builds upon existing theories and knowledge by continuously revising them. Every aspect of scientific knowledge can be questioned, including the general rules of thinking that appear to be most certain. So why is science trustworthy if it is always changing? If tomorrow we will no longer see the world as Newton or Einstein found it to be, why should we take seriously today’s scientific description of the world?The answer is simple: Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument for understanding the world.Consider a folk healer’s herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is “scientific”? Yes, if it is proven to be effective, even if we have no idea why it works. In fact, quite a few common medications used today have their origin in folk treatments, and we are still not sure how they work. This does not imply that folk treatments are generally effective. To the contrary, many of them are not. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness to seriously test a treatment and to be ready to change our minds if something is shown not to work. A research doctor in a modern hospital must be ready to change his theory if a more effective way of understanding illness, or treating it, becomes available.What makes modern science uniquely powerful is its refusal to believe that it already possesses ultimate truth. The reliability of science is based not on certainty but on a completeabsence of certainty. As John Stuart Mill wrote in “On Liberty” in 1859, “The beliefs which we have most warrant (依据) for, have no safeguard to rest on, but a standing invitation to the whole world to prove them unfounded.”8.Why does the author raise the two questions in paragraph 1?A.To add some fun.B.To express doubts.C.To introduce the topic.D.To provide background.9.What can we learn about today’s scientific description of the world?A.It can be timeless.B.It can be improved.C.It is of little value.D.It is the best at any moment. 10.What is the author’s attitude toward folk treatment?A.Dismissive.B.Objective.C.Pessimistic.D.Sympathetic. 11.What is the main idea of paragraph 4?A.It is unwise to believe in science.B.Too much uncertainty lies in science.C.The foundation of science is unfounded.D.The lack of certainty makes science credible.Though researchers have long known that adults build unconscious (无意识的) preferences over a lifetime of making choices between things that are essentially the same, the new finding that even babies engage in this phenomenon demonstrates that this way of justifying choice is intuitive (凭直觉的) and somehow fundamental to the human experience.“The act of making a choice changes how we feel about our options,” said Alex Silver, a Johns Hopkins researcher. “Even infants who are really just at the start of making choices for themselves have this preference.”The findings are published today in the journal Psychological Science. People assume they choose things that they like. But research suggests that’s sometimes backwards: we like things because we choose them. And, we dislike things that we don’t choose. “Adults make these inferences unconsciously,” said co-author Lisa Feigenson, a Johns Hopkins scientist in child development. “We justify our choice after the fact.”This makes sense for adults in a consumer culture who must make random choices every day, between everything from toothpaste brands to styles of jeans. The question was when exactly people start doing this. So they turned to babies, who don’t get many choices so, asFeigenson puts it, are “a perfect window into the origin of this tendency.”The team brought 10-to 20-month-old babies into the lab and gave them a choice of objects to play with; two equally bright and colorful soft blocks. They set them far apart, so the babies had to crawl to one or the other — a random choice. After the baby chose one of the toys, the researchers took it away and came back with a new option. The babies could then pick from the toy they didn’t play with the first time, or a brand new toy. Their choices showed they “dis-prefer the unchosen object.”To continue studying the evolution of choice in babies, the lab will next look at the idea of “choice overload.” For adults, choice is good, but too many choices can be a problem, so the lab will try to determine if that is also true for babies.12.What is people’s assumption about the act of making choices?A.They like what they choose.B.They choose what they like.C.They base choices on the fact.D.They make choices thoughtfully.13.Why were babies selected as subjects for the study?A.To help them make better choices.B.To guide them to perceive the world.C.To track the root of making random choices.D.To deepen the understanding of a consumer culture.14.What does the study on the babies show?A.They like novel objects.B.Their choices are mostly based on colors.C.Their random choices become preferences.D.They are unable to make choices for themselves.15.What will the following study focus on?A.The law of “choice overload”.B.The problem of adults’ many choices.C.Why too many choices can influence adults.D.Whether babies are troubled with many choices.二、七选五The best way to learn new skills has been widely debated. In 2008, Malcolm Gladwell published Outliers, which introduced the so-called “10,000 hours rule” that states it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert in a subject.16 Let’s break down what this involves.You’re willing to learn from people you don’t like.We tend to get annoyed with people who don’t share our view of the world. 17 That’s exactly why they offer opportunities to learn. You don’t need to buy into someone’s values about the world to learn from them and they can offer a new perspective.18Stick to one comfortable mode of learning is a bad idea. Master learners are willing to learn from lots of sources, including the following: technical dry books or manuals, YouTube or Instagram, calling or visiting people they don’t know, searching the internet and through friendships and social relationships.You can reflect on your work and think outside of the box.Master learners don’t just become good in their field. They think about what they learn in ways that aren’t focused on one topic. 19 They allow their minds to move in creative ways and connect seemingly diverse concepts and tools that other people don’t connect.You approach learning with your learning objectives in mind.I love learning about other people’s learning processes. I once watched a video made bya medical student who stopped going to lectures. She recognized that the lectures weren’t as efficient or effective as reading her own books.Master learners don’t follow someone else’s learning plan. For example, they don’t use one learning app for hundreds of lessons without exploring other options. 20 A.You’re willing to try out different thinking styles.B.You’re ready to learn through different modes and channels.C.People who are different from us will tend to approach problems differently.D.But from a psychological perspective, what makes someone a master learner?E.They develop their own learning plan based on their specific learning objectives.F.The smartest, most creative people don’t rely solely on focus for getting things done.G.To add to our learning, we’ll need to be willing to learn from people who we don’tpersonally like.三、完形填空When I was in middle school, I tried my best to be popular. However, one afternoon, I had a(n) 21 with my mother, which changed my mind eventually.We were sitting in the dining area of a local restaurant. I told her that I wanted to be 22 . She asked me why I felt that way. Surprisingly, I had never stopped to think about why I felt the need to fit in. I 23 did it.My mother told me a story. My grandmother made her several 24 sweater vests. Although those were hardly “in style”, my mother really 25 to wear them. It was surprising that many other female students at her school began wearing sweater vests after a few weeks. My mother had started a 26 because the other students saw the 27 with which she dressed.At that time, the information was too much for a thirteen-year-old girl to 28 . I didn’t believe her. I thought my mother was 29 . So I continued to wear the same clothes, seeking popularity as usual —I had not yet seen the light at the end of a dark tunnel then.

I began to check my wardrobe (衣柜) to find which items I’d bought because I truly like them. I also 33 my actions, trying to determine how many of them I wore to 34 the crowd. Gradually, I found myself caring less and less about what people thought about me. I was greatly 35 .The conversation I had with my mother was a valuable lesson for me.

One strength of the human condition is our possibility to giveand receive support from one another under stressful ( 有压力的 ) conditions .Social support makes up of thee_change of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties . Those ofus with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and havebetter health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses,from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such supportmakes poor health more likely.Social support cushionsstress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let usknow that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel acceptedby others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people oftenprovide us with informational support .They help us to define and understandour problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helpsus to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting ( 转移注意力 ) us from our worries and troubles .Finally, other people may give us instrumental support – money aid, materialresources, and needed services –that reduces stress by helping us resolve anddeal with our problems.69. Interpersonalrelationships are important because they can ____________.A.makepeople live more easily B. smooth away daily problemsC.deal with life changesD.cure types of illnesses70.

D.Effects of stressful condition.DWind is the great maker of waves.There are e_ceptions, such as the tidal ( 潮汐的) waves sometimes produced by earthquakes under the sea . But the waves most ofus know are produced by winds blowing over the sea.Now before constructing animaginary life history of a typical wave, we need to know certain physical things about it. A wave has height, from trough (low point) to crest (high point). It has length --- the distance from this crest to that of the followingwave. The period of the wave means the time it takes for succeeding crests topass a fi_ed point. None of these things stays the same --- for all depend uponthe wind, upon the depth of the water and many other matters .The water that makes up a wavedoes not advance with it across the sea. Each drop of water turns around in alittle circle with the passing of the wave, but returns very nearly to its original position. And it is fortunate that this is so. For if the huge massesof water that make up a wave actually moved across the sea, sailing would beimpossible.If we want to find the speed of awave, we may use the following way:Speed = wavelength_frequencyHere, wavelength is the distancebetween two high points ( crests ) , frequency means the number of cycles persecond .74. What causes waves?A,Earthquakes and nothing else. B.Only wind.C.Wind causes most waves.D. Wind causes some waves.75. Which of the following is trueaccording to the passage?A.The water of a wave moves away acrossthe sea.B.The water of a wave remainsalmost at the same place.C.The water of a wave goes withthe passing of the wave.D.The length of a wave means thedistance from the top of a wave to the bottom.76. The speed of Wave 1 is 100cm/s , frequency 10 . Thefrequency of Wave 2 is 300, while its speed is twice that of Wave 1. Which ofthe following is right?A.The wavelength of the two areequal.B.The wavelength of Wave 1 is 10times longer than that of Wave 2.C.The wavelength of Wave 2 islonger than that of Wave 1.D.Thewavelength of Wave 1 is longer than that of Wave 2.EI am one of the many city peoplewho are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city .If it weren’t for my jobI would immediately move out for the open spaces and go back to nature.Cities can be frightening places.The majority of the population live in many tower blocks ,noisy ,dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when youlive fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky ,or other blocks of flats .Children become aggressive and nervous as they are shut up athome all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated(孤立的)from the rest of the world. Strangely enough,in the past the residents of one street all knew each other, but nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other.Country life ,on the other hand,differs from this kind of isolated e_istence in that a sense of community generally binds the residents of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they needhelp .But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may beamong friends in a village ,it is also true that you are cut off from the e_citing and important events that take place in cities .There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a majorproblem ,and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go a longway to the nearest large town .The city people who leave for the country oftencan’t bear the stillness and quiet there.What ,then ,is the answer? Thecountry has the advantage of peace and quiet ,but suffers from the disadvantageof being cut off ; the city gives people a feeling of isolation ,and constant noise can nearly drive you mad. But one of its main advantages is that you areat the center of things, and that life doesn’t come to an end at half-past nineat night. Some people have found a compromise(折衷)between the two: leave cities and move to villages within commuting(可乘公交车往返的)distance of large cities. It sounds great!77.It seems that the writer prefers to livein the country mainly because .A.the city is somehow pollutedB.the country folks are more friendlyC.one can get better sleep in thecountry D.it’s hard forpeople to find jobs in the city78.The biggest disadvantage of living in thecountry is that .A.life there is inconvenientB.shopping is almost impossibleC.you can not see a movie or a showD.lifecomes to an end at half past nine79.As to which is better ,city life orcountry life, the writer .A.did some e_planationB.made some comparisonC.described both of them vividlyD.talked a lot about his preference80.The underlined word 〝binds〞 in thethird paragraph is similar in meaning to .A.attractsB.drivesC.preventsD.unites书面表达(满分25分)为促进我校师生的英语学习,我们将举办英语晚会,请你以学生会的名义发一份英语书面通知,欢迎全校师生参加.内容:1.晚会时间:下星期五晚7:00——9:002.晚会地点:学校大会议室3.晚会节目:英语故事,英语歌曲,英语诗歌及短剧等.届时还邀请在本校工作的加拿大教师格林夫妇参加晚会,他们将表演精彩的节日.注意:1.通知要包括所有要点,要注意通知的格式.2.词数80——20 参考词汇:Student Union学生会(虚拟语气)专题检测题参考答案(仅供参考)1.
