The family hired a nursing aid who canceled at the last minute. Instead , a woman named TunDe Hector showed up in her place.One day, TunDe shared a story with Judy and her family. She remembered a particularly difficult day in 2014, when a stranger had helped her with a kind gesture. She had run out of gas, and with only$5 in her pocket ,was walking to a gas station, gas can in hand. A man saw her walking and turned his car around. He paid for her gas and gave her all the cash left in his wallet. Upon hearing the story , Judy’s son, Chris, took off his hat and said ,"That was me!” He was the stranger that had helped TunDe on that difficult day.During the care of Judy, the Wright family learne d about TunDe’s family and her own dream. The nursing aid, TunDe hoped that one day she could become an OB-GYN nurse.Her tuition was past due（逾期）and she had a family to care for, but she was determined to achieve that goal for herself and her family.Judy died on July 9,2017.

Constant dropping wears stone.CA study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important . These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion(万亿）connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern"A-B-B". Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the" A-B-B"pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block ofwords and grammar."Position is key to language," she says. "If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference:'John caught the bear.' is very different from 'The bear caught John.'”Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books,the Internet, or smartphones－no matter how educational－doesn’t appear to be enough for children’s brain development. They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group who’d w atched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies －regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio－learned nothing.8. What makes connections in a baby’s brain?A. Having a higher IQ.B. Experiencing new informationC. The baby’s early ageD. The connection with other babies9. What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?A. Babies identify different sound patterns.B. Word order is relevant to meaning.C. Babies can well understand different words.D. A certain brain region processes language.10. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?A. Grammar is important in learning languages.B. Different orders have different meanings.C. Different languages have different grammar.D. Words have different sounds.11. What is the main conclusion from the study led by Patricia Kuhl?A. Babies shouldn’t watch a lot of television.B. Listening to different languages develops babies’ brainC. Foreign languages help babies’ brain developD. Socia l communication improves babies’ brain development.DOn average ,Americans spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic devices and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors. That is a claim made by David Strayer, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. In his 2017 TED Talk , Strayer explained that all this time spent with technology is making our brains tired.Using an electronic device to answer emails, listen to the news and look at Facebook puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain, which, Strayer explains , is important for critical (有判断力的）thinking , problem-solving and decision-making.So, it is important to give the brain a rest. And being in naure , Strayer claims , helps get a tired brain away from too much technology. More than 15,000 campers from around the world attended an international camping festival in September. That is when friends and family take time off and escape to nature for several days. They take walks, climb, explore , swim, sleep, eat and play. Camping may be just what a tired brain needs.Take Carl for example .He lives in West Virginia and enjoys camping . He says that staying outdoors makes him feel at ease. It also prepares him for the work he must do. Kate Somers is another example who also lives in West Virginia. She says she enjoys camping withher husband and two children . She calls it a “regenerative” experience.At the University of Utah , David Strayer has studied both short-term and long-term exposure to nature. He found that spending short amounts of time in nature without technology does calm the brain and helps it to remember better. However ,he found , it is the long-term contact with nature that does the most good. He and his research team found that spending three days in nature without any technology is enough time for the brain to fully relax and reset itself.12. What is David Strayer’s opinion ?A. Americans dislike outdoor activitiesB. Electronic equipment should be quittedC. New technologies are a double-edged swordD. Electronic equipment brings great convenience13. Why does Strayer insist we go outdoors?A. To try another lifestyleB. To refresh our brainC. To make better decisions.D. To play with our family and friends14. What does the underlined word “regenerative” mean?A. RebornB. MemorableC. RemarkableD. Tiring15. Which is the proper title for the passage?A. Electronic Equipment Harms the BrainB. Good Rest Develops Good MemoryC. Tips on Using New TechnologiesD. Being in Nature Is Good for the Brain第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15 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。

Through remote medicine, experts will be able to assist patients' treatments in remote areas by using advanced telecommunication systems.

He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out untilhe caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Momand Dad and the other kids that were still at home.Dad was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the sea for his catch. When you got close to him, you smelled the ocean.When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me good-bye!I remembered the day I thought I was too old for a good-bye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand u p and said, “No, Dad.” It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face.I said, “Dad, I’m too old for a good-bye kiss. I’m too old for any kind of kiss.” My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked at the windshield(汽车挡风玻璃). “You’re right,” he said. “You are a big boy…a man. I won’t kiss you any more.It wasn’t long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back.Guys, yo u don’t know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek … to feel his rough old face … to smell the ocean on him … to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would be a man.I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a good-bye kiss.61. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. The writer’s father was a tall man.B. Making a living on the sea was hard.C. The writer’s father liked being a fisherman.D. The writer’s father had a big family to support.62.

Prices are rising continuously. This condition is what we call inflation(通货膨胀): the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. We have got used to higher and higher rates of inflation in recent years. What could be bought twenty years ago for one pound now costs well over 2 pounds . And at present this rate of inflation seems to be rising rather than falling. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices do. One might think that inflation doesn’t matter. But it does .When money is losing value it also loses one of the qualities of a good money—stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable means of delayed payment. Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession, so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore simply simulates（刺激）our spending and discourages saving.66．From the passage we can know that inflation is a situation in which________.A. everyone’s incomes riseB. money will hold its valueC. we can watch our money growD. money constantly loses its value 67．In the writer’s view, if incomes and prices rise at the same rate, ________.A. inflation maybe still be a problemB. we have nothing to worry aboutC. inflation is no longer a problemD. we will become richer and richer 68．Under inflation people are likely to ________.A. go to the bank more often than usualB. save more money since their incomes riseC. spend money quickly rather than to save itD. keep money at home instead of going to banks69．We can conclude according to the passage that ________.A. the writer is a government officialB. the writer is worried about inflationC. the writer encourages people to spend moneyD. the writer has become richer because of inflation70.

Two dog walkers passed by and we heard one of them say, “Never seen that dog around here before.”We looked down the hill and saw an old black dog stumbling(蹒跚) painfully up the hill. We bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar. There was a phone number on the collar, but no one answered.The dog was painfully thin. It didn’t have many teeth left and, well, it just seemed done.Julie ran home to get some of our dog’s food while I tried to encourage the dog to come along with me. Julie got home and back again when I was only half way there. So, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food.Eventually we got her home. We gave her a blanket, more food, kept her warm and wondered what to do next.After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father’s dog. She was very old and should probably be put to sleep, but the lady just couldn’t bring herself to do it. So, Tara was safely returned home.Here is the truth of the story:Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to c ome back, but I wasn’t hearing anything that made that sound likely.I was about to turn and go when an old, worn out dog walked between us and collapsed. Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.We did help it. And here am I writing the story in my own home, in my own family.In the song “Love Is Not a Fight” Warren Barfield talks about marriage. At one point he sings, “And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door.”湖南省五市十校2014届高三第一次联合检测试卷英语第6 页共11 页Sometimes angels come disguised (伪装) as dogs. （380 words）61.

Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Helpful Couple.B. An Angel Dog.C. Saving the Dog.D. A Famous Song.CYou’re jogging at a steady pace, enjoying your favorite music through your headphones. Your breath is short and your heart is pumping. Your legs feel like they couldn’t carry you any faster.And then you hear the groan of a zombie over your right shoulder. You must run or be eaten.The zombie apocalypse(大灾难) isn’t upon you. You’re just taking part in the latest fitness craze—Smartphone apps that make a fun and interactive game out of your daily workout.Software developers are taking advantage of Smartphone’s advanced technology—GPS, accelerometers (加速度计), MP3 players—to create “immersive”fitness games that appeal to both desperate and reluctant exercises.It’s part of an overall trend in the fitness industry toward making your daily workout “a fun experience rather than something you have to do,” said Jessica Matthews, an exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise.“We are attempting more “play” opportunities as opposed to working out, basically getting people to move and having fun while they are doing it,” Matthews said.One popular fitness game app, Zombies, Run! places you in the role of a supplies runner for a walled community trying to survive against the walking dead.During your run, the game’s surprising complex story unfolds through your headphones. You “pick up” supplies for the community as you jog along. At certain intervals, you’re warned that zombies are nearby, and if you don’t pick up the pace, you’ll have to pitch(掷) some supplies to keep from being caught.The game doesn’t end once your jog is over. After your workout, you can use the supplies you picked up during your running to fortify your community. The GPS statistics from your run are uploaded automatically to the game’s website, so you can review your average speed and the estimated calories you burned.湖南省五市十校2014届高三第一次联合检测试卷英语第7 页共11 页Teemo, Nexercise and Fitocracy all allow you to post your latest workout to share with friends. Some games have you work with friends to reach a common goal—completing a relay race, for example—while others encourage competition.“That’s another big area, having that social component,”Matthews said, “Having social support of some kind is a critical factor in adhering to an exercise program. For some people, having that friendly competition or the feeling of being on a team can help them stay motivated.”（384 words）66. Smartphone’s advanced technology is used to _______.A. steady the jogger’s paceB. make exercisers’ hearts pumpC. control the rate of workoutD. create a virtual health game67. The general tendency in the fitness industry is to_______.A. exercise while listening to musicB. do sports and play games at the same timeC. make your daily exercises funny and interestingD. show the average speed and the calories immediately68. Which of the following statements is not true about Zombies, Run!?A. The simple story gradually develops during your jogB. You collect supplies for the community on your wayC. You are sometimes warned that zombies are aroundD. You act as a supplies runner and try to fight against the zombies69. The underlined word “walking dead” in Paragraph 7 most probably refers to ______A. friendsB. supply runnersC. zombiesD. team members70. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Smartphone Apps, Fun WorkoutsB. Favourite Music, Interesting JoggingC. Supplies Runner, Motivating CommunityD. Friendly Competition, Encouraging TeamPART FOUR WRITING（45 marks）SECTION A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Before throwing yourself into studying, you should make a study schedule. Creating and following a study schedule can help you concentrate, better retain course material, and manage your time in an effective way.To create a good schedule, first you should assess your current schedule because creating a healthy balance between your studies, social life and sleep is important. You can adjust your study schedule to fit your needs and learning style. For example, do you need to spare some time on weekend afternoons because you work nights the same days? Could you listen to an audio recording of a lecture on your MP3 player while sweating at the gym?It’s also important to list all the subjects you need to study. If you have a study guide or a textbook with review sections, use it to narrow down what you list. Once you have your list, rank湖南省五市十校2014届高三第一次联合检测试卷英语第8 页共11 页the subjects by how confident you feel about them. You can note them with least, moderately or mostly. By doing this, you can focus more time and energy on problem areas. And in the end, write down which subject you’re studying in each period. This will allow you to organize your textbooks and study materials ahead of time.Once the schedule is created, you must stick to it. There's no point in making a study schedule if you don't stick to it, but it can be hard to start. Try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar/planner on a regular, preferably daily basis. This will help keep you away from the "out of sight, out of mind" trap. Once you’ve established a routine, you may start mentally associating certain acts, such as the opening of a textbook or sitting down at a desk, with a study mode. In addition, you should avoid putting off work as much as possible. If you finish something ahead of schedule, go back and note which subjects you feel better about and which you still have questions on. By quickly getting to your studying mindset, you can more easily ignore distractions and focus on the material you are reviewing. Accordingly, you can adjust what you plan to study and review later on. （364 words）SECTION B （10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.For most of us, it is challenging to climb Mount Everest, the world’s tallest mountain. However, 80-year-old Yuichiro Miura is preparing to climb the 29,035 feet peak for the third time in 2013.Unlike others, his love for this great mountain began in 1970, when he became the first person to ski down the 8,000 meters. His amazing story was recorded in a documentary called “The Man Who Skied Down Everest”.湖南省五市十校2014届高三第一次联合检测试卷英语第9 页共11 页After that he seemed to have gotten a little busy with other challenges, and it was not until 2003 at the old age of 70, that he decided to revisit the Everest—this time, to climb up. Not only did he succeed, but he also broke the record for being the oldest person ever, to climb the mountain. However, just four years later, a 71-year-old fellow by the name of Katsusule Yanagisawa managed to displace him in the record books.Not one to give up, Yuichiro decided to go at it one more time at the age of 75. While he succeeded in getting to the peak, he did not break the record this time. That’s because just a day before he got there, a 76-year-old Nepalese man by the name of Min Bahadur Sherchan had managed to get to the top of the mountain. While Yuichiro says his third attempt has nothing to do with the record books, if he succeeds, that is where he will end up hopefully.What’s amazing about this determined man is that he suffers from and has undergone two operations for irregular heartbeat. So why does he continue taking on this risky adventure? Because he believes it to be the “anti-ageing” cure for all his illnesses.

湖南省邵阳市2023届高三上学期第一次联考（一模）英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Special Food Places to Try In SingaporeIt's an unpleasant fact that local food places are usually meant to cater to meat-eaters. It can be difficult to find a tasty food place that caters to meat-free diet. Here are some options to show you don't need meat for a satisfactory treat.Vegan BurgVegan Burg has a surprisingly diverse range of plant-based burgers. From Hawaiian Teriyaki to Char-Grilled Satay, the menu promises to tempt even the most hardcore meat lovers. And that's not even getting into the add-ons and sides it offers, such as mushroom fries and barbecue potatoes.Woods Square Tower, #01–06, Singapore 737737Genesis RestaurantThis eatery proves that meat-free dishes can be as hearty and flavourful as their meat-based counterparts. Genesis Restaurant is especially known for its juicy dumplings, spring rolls, pork-free noodles and tofu cheesecake.Havelock Road, #B1-01, Singapore 059763WellSmoocht CollectiveWellSmoocht is a cafe and dessert bar which specialises in plant-based ice cream.

He will climb the rock face with the help of the hanging ropes. The journey is expected to take four days “of hanging from your fingers or hanging from your anchors (锚)," Sam's dad Joe Baker told CNN's Fredricka Whitfield on Sun-day. They'll camp one night on the top of El Capitan.Sam and Joe Baker will climb in a four-person team. It is a Class 5 climb, the highest and most difficult of classifications. The routes are for expert climbers who train regularly and have a lot of natural ability.“Sam has been training to take on El Capitan every day for the last at least 18 months,” his father said. In addition to physical training, planning how much equipment—including200pounds of water-to take for the daylong hike is among the challenges. “You can't just turn on the water,” Joe said. “You have to carry it with you.”While making it to the top of El Capitan would set records, that's not Sam's motivation for at-tempting the climb. "I'm most excited to climb with Daddy," Sam told CNN.Hanging from the rock face thousands of feet in the air, the climbers will dine on lasagna (意面) they cook from little packets on a gas stove. Sam is also planning a movie night while pausing from the side of the rock. In addition to his climbing accomplishments, Sam is getting really good at chess, so a travel chess set will be along for the climb too.Aside from the lasagna, watching a movie and playing chess, Sam said "getting to the top" is his favorite part of climbing.Joe and his wife fell in love while climbing, and Sam did well in a climbing harness (背带) “before he could walk”. When he was 6, Sam took on Lost Arrow Spire, a three-pitch climb that starts 2, 500 feet above Yosemite Valley. Only one other 6-year-old-world-class professional climber Tommy Caldwell, had ever done it.4、What motivated Sam to climb El Capitan?A. Companionship of his father.B. Appealing awards for winning.C. High requirements for climbing.D. Encouragement from teammates.5、What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A. Sam's advantages as a climber.B. Difficulties Sam will encounter.C. Sam's hobbies besides climbing.D. Things Sam will do while climbing.6、What can be inferred from the text?A. Playing games is what Sam like best.B. Sam Baker was born into a climbing family.C. The team has successfully accomplished the climbing.D. Sam Baker was the only child finishing Lost Arrow Spire.7、What kind of a boy is Sam?A. Polite and modest.B. Brave and dependent.C. Gifted and hard-working.D. Naughty and cooperative.In recent times, with the advent of electric cars, the idea to fuel them with solar energy also gained momentum. Electric cars-even though they run on electricity and don't use fossil fuels —are still NOT GREEN! People suffer from the misconception that not using fossil fuel means “green” which is kind of absurd, considering the electricity we use is generated by burning the very same fuels!However, what if your car had solar panels that could charge it? Now that would indeed be a green machine! Basically, as much as we would like to incorporate this energy source into our car, the efficiency of the currently used solar panels is subject to the fulfillment of different criteria.Firstly, solar panels occupy a large amount of area. An average car has an area of 10-25 sq.ft. on the roof, which can generate between 50-150 W under ideal conditions. This is hardly enough power to illuminate a light bulb! Also, moderate sunny temperature needs to be ideal, as extremely high temperatures can reduce the efficiency of the solar panels. Cars must work in all weather conditions, so if a solar panel limits the car's functionality, it becomes practically useless. More importantly, the cost of the panels and development required to power the electronics using the sun's energy outweighs the benefits that solar panels provide.Most cars today that have solar roofs, use the solar energy to power only a few basic functions of the car. While there is still time before we will be able to drive cars fully powered by solar energy, there are some alternatives, such as solar power stations, which are being designed to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels for electricity. Solar-powered vehicles are surely the future, but not the near future. As the cost of solar panels continues to fall andtheir efficiency increases, things will begin to look much "brighter" for this alternative and sustainable option!8、Why aren't electric cars environmentally friendly?A. They won't work as well as the common cars.B. They are not powered by solar energy.C. They run on electricity produced by burning fuels.D. They cause more pollution to the world.9、What can we learn from the third paragraph?A. Temperatures have little effect on solar panels.B. Powering the electronics costs little.C. A car's roof generates enough power to light a bulb.D. The performance of current solar panels depends on various factors.10、What can we infer about solar energy in the car industry?A. Most cars have solar roofs.B. Cars can be currently powered from solar power stations.C. Cars partly powered by solar energy are on the road.D. Solar cars will soon be available.11、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. What do solar cars look like?B. Why don't we power the car with solar energy?C. How do solar cars work?D. Could solar cars replace the electric cars?School children across the United Kingdom will learn how to fend off loneliness. In January, British Prime Minister Theresa May appointed the first "minister of loneliness".This week, her administration released an 84-page plan detailing the actions it will take to prevent loneliness. Starting in primary school, students will have lessons in "relationships education".The Brigham Young University psychologist Julianne Holt-Lunstad, one of the foremost scholars on loneliness in the United States, warns that the U. S. has a significant loneliness problem of its own and that schools desperately need to follow the U.K.'s lead and include preventive measures into their lessons.Indeed, according to a recent report by the health-care company Cigna, nearly half of adults in the U.S. reported feeling alone. Marriage rates and religious-participation rates arealso drop-ping and both are risk factors for social isolation and loneliness. The prevalence(普遍) of loneliness seems to be especially acute among young adults. One study found that Americans aged 21 to 30 reported feeling lonely twice as many days as adults aged 50 to 70. Studies suggest loneliness results in a variety of health issues. such as decreased immunity to viral infections, poor sleep, and cardiovascular(心血管的) issues.The ideal school curriculum(课程) for teaching loneliness prevention would target social isolation as well as the cognitive processes that make people feel lonely. “Recognizing that it's something that we need to take seriously for our health is a primary and critical step,” Holt-Lunstad says. She advocates for a sort of “social education” that would be put into existing health-education curriculum to teach students how to build and maintain friendships and relationships.12、How does Holt-Lunstad find the loneliness problem in the United States?A. It is not serious and easy to deal with.B. It is serious and needs measures to control.C. It is not as serious as in the United Kingdom.D. It is more serious than it is in the United Kingdom.13、What does the underlined word "acute" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Popular.B. Average.C. Severe.D. Frequent.14、What result may loneliness cause?A. Poor sleep.B. Higher religious-participation rates.C. Lower marriage rates.D. Increased immunity to viral infections.15、What is the text mainly about?A. Learning to Fight Loneliness at School.B. Finding the Cause of Loneliness.C. Loneliness-the Cause of Many Health Problems.D. Loneliness-a Serious Problem in Modern Society.二、七选五16、 Have you ever complained that there just aren't enough hours in a day?
