A(2021·江西南昌市·南昌二中高二期末)Most of us marry creativity to our concept of self either we're "creative" or we aren't, without much of a middle ground. "I'm just not a creative person!" a frustrated student might say in art class, while another might blame her talent at painting for her difficulties in math, giving a comment such as, "I'm very right-brained."Dr. Pillay, a tech entrepreneur and an assistant professor at Harvard University, has been challenging these ideas. He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to ignore the traditional advice that urges you to "believe in yourself." In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.Dr. Pillay points to a 2016 study demonstrating the impact of stereotypes on one's behavior; The authors. educational psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their college student subjects into three groups, instructing the members of one to think of themselves as "romantic poets" and the members of another to imagine they were "serious librarians" (the third group was the control). The researchers then presented all the participants with ten ordinary objects, including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one. Those who were asked to imagine themselves as romantic poets came up with the widest range of ideas, whereas those in the serious-librarian group had the fewest. Meanwhile, the researchers found only small differences in students' creativity levels across academic majors.These results suggest that creativity is not a fixed individual characteristic but a "malleable product of context and perspective, as long as he or she feels like a creative person. Dr. Pillay argues that, besides identifying yourself as creative, taking the bold, creative step of imagining you are somebody else is even more powerful. So, wish you were more creative? Just pretend!1.According to the passage,who is more likely to unlock his creative potential?A.An art major who always believes in himself.B.A math major who has excellent academic performanceC.A physics major who likes to imagine himself as a poet.D.A history major who works as a librarian on weekends.2.What does the Study conducted by Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar focus on?A.The creativity of the college students.B.The stereotypes of the college students.C.The impact of stereotypes on one's behaviorD.The influence of creativity on one's behavior.3.The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means__________?A.stable B.sustainable C.predicable D.changeable 4.Dr Pillay may agree with the statement that__________.A.there is no doubt that we are either creative or notB.a student who doesn't do well in art class is not creativeC.right brain determines whether a person is creative or notD.if we pretend to be creative,then we might be really creativeB(2021·湖南师大附中高三月考)Some people get more unwilling to take risks as the years go by. Not Gail MacCallum, who at age 40 quit a secure job and left the city she had enjoyed her whole adult life to step into the unknown.MacCallum spent her formative years in a farmhouse without electricity and enjoyed the freedom of the natural world. During her adult life, she moved through several jobs before finding her calling in book publishing and then magazines. One day she and her partner Ian Connellan were on a holiday on Hobart, enjoying the chance to get close to wildlife, when they ran into some friends- of-friends, who asked them to dinner. The next day, recalls MacCallum, “They said, ‘We think you should buy our house.’” With no intention of uprooting their lives she and Connellan thought this was “entirely ridiculous", yet they got really excited talking about the possibilities such a move might present. “At last,” we said, “Let's give it a go.”They resigned from their jobs and moved to Hobart. Both of them are brave travelers who had spent time with scientists working in various remote spots around the world. Theywondered if they could make a living by helping others to experience those unique places for themselves. Then came the new company Curious Traveler. “It works brilliantl y. Scientists get helpers and funding. Guests get to see what scientists do and how the world is changing because of it. They leave, excited and inspired,” MacCallum says.In two-and-a-half years, the pair still have to replenish their incomes with some writing and editing, but the business is growing and within five years they hope to be helping fund half a dozen research projects. It is a big task. “Some days we think it would be great to turn it off,” MacCallum says, “but when we see the wonder on the fa ce of a person who is experiencing somewhere like the Galapagos for the first time, we know we are living a wonderful life.”5.What caused MacCallum and Connellan to give up their jobs?A.A casual offer from some friends-of-friends. B.Their childhood experiences with nature. C.Their boredom with their then jobs. D.The desire to protect the wildlife. 6.What does MacCallum and Connellan's company do?A.It promotes tourism in remote places.B.It gets courageous travelers to explore the world.C.It organizes trips to places of scientific research.D.It helps scientists find proper spots for research.7.What mainly inspires MacCallum and Connellan to keep going?A.Their dream for a booming business.

But a New Jersey-based company, called Terracycle, has taken on the challenge, and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends and turn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to recycle things that people normally consider impossible to reuse.Obviously it would be even better for the environment if everyone just stopped smoking but the statistics show that although there has been an increase in anti-smoking ads and posters, between 2000 and 2014.global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent, and a wholelot of those cigarette ends ended up as trash: Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways, cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment. “It only takes a single cigarette end to pollute a liter of water,” Temacycle’s founder, Tom Swak, said. “Animals can also mistake cigarette ends littered for food.”So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful? Terracycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it onnon-agricultural land, such as golf courses. The filters (过滤嘴) are a little harder. To recycle these. Terracycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.They’re now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can’t be recycled, such as chocolate pack aging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfills, and then get companies to provide money for the process. And now, it works well.“We haven't found anything that we can’t recycle,” communications director of Terracycle, Albe Zakes, said. “But with the amount and varieties of packaging and litter in the world, we are always looking for new waste streams to address.”9.What does Terracycle intend to do?A.Search for recyclable materials for use.B.Deal with as many cigarette ends as possible.C.Produce new kinds of industrial plastic products.D.Recycle what used to be considered unrecyclable.10.What does the underlined word “trash” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Rubbish. B.Poison. C.Disaster. D.Ruin. 11.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.The effective use of cigarette ends.B.The process of recycling cigarette ends.C.The difficulty in recycling cigarette ends.D.The reason for breaking down cigarette ends.12.What do A lbe’s words in the last paragraph imply?A.There is more and more waste to be recycled.B.It is difficult for Terracycle to recycle everything.C.Terracycle is trying to meet the challenge of new waste.D.Terracycle has successfully recycled a large amount of waste.D(2021·广东实验中学高三月考)Optional Tours in LangkawiLine One(Mangrove tours and eagle feeding)Catch exciting movement and magnificent views of how eagles try to get their food skillfully at kilim river mangrove jungle safari visit limestone bats cave and have lunch on floating restaurant.Price: adult rate RM 160.00/ person child rate (age 3—12yrs) RM 120.00/ person infant (below 3yrs) freeTime: 9:00 am—14:00 pmLine Two(Snorkeling and baby shark feeding)Pulau Payar marine park with spectacular corals and colorful tropical marine life is one of the most beautiful and exotic marine parks in Malaysia.Price: adult rate RM 220.00/ person child rate (age 3—12yrs) RM 150.00/ person infant (below 3yrs) freeTime 8:00 am—17:00 pmLine Three(Day cruise around Langkawi archipelago)Experience swimming among fishes and view spectacular corals and exotic marine life.Price: adult rate RM 450.00/ person child rate (age 3—12yrs) RM 350.00/ person infant (below 3yrs) freeTime 9:00 am—17:00 pmLine Four(Amazing sunset cocktail and dinner cruise)Experience the amazing sunset scenery around the Andaman sea while having cocktail and dinner.Price: adult rate RM 350.00/ person child rate (age 3—12yrs) RM 250.00/ person infant (below 3yrs) freeTime 16:00 pm—21 :00 pm13.What is special about Line One?A.It provides food.

At the hospital, I just kept telling myself to hold on. Weeks later I made a deal with the hospital staff that once I could roll onto my side, I could be discharged. I am proud to say that just one short week later, I was going home. The day I left the hospital, I made a promise to myself to never give up and to always live life to the fullest.In February of 2013, my life was forever changed when I attended the Executive Assistant Organization's Behind Every Leader event. During the conference, a sweet lady by the name of Alisson Frew dared to ask me why I did not wear a prosthesis(假肢). My short and simple answer was, "I don't have sixty thousand dollars." The next morning I was in tears as I learned that Alisson, Jeff Hoffman, founder of Priceline, and a dozen other people, had bought a prosthesis for me. From the first step, it was apparent to me just how much this would mean to me.For a year I adjusted to the leg and settled into everyday life,until one day I realized I was making a life but not living one.After almost 13 years of thinking that I was confident, I had an unfamiliar feeling sweep over me. For the first time in my life, I was not only confident but I was empowered! I desired to help those around me, to have them experience this unbelievable feeling for themselves.In April of 2014, I started modeling. My dream is that one day a little girl will see me on a poster at her favourite clothing store and say, "Wow, she is amazing, and she only has one leg. I could do that too someday, even though I have a disability."4. What do we know about the author from Paragraph 2?A.She was humorous and outgoing.B.She was determined and optimistic.C.She was intelligent and hardworking.D.She was generous and kind-hearted.5.

What would be the best title for the text?A.An Expensive Gift from StrangersB.How I Survived A Terrible AccidentC.I Lost a Leg but Gained a PurposeD.Stay Strong in the Face of DisabilityCA Japanese company, NextTechnology, has created a robot dog that can tell you how bad your feet smell, by using a powerful sensor fixed in its nose. If your feet don't have a bad smell, Hana-chan will happily wag its tail, if it's exposed to feet that aremildly smelly, it'll start to bark, and if they give off an extremely bad smell, it'll just fall over like the smell caused it to faint (昏倒). Foot odor (脚臭) is a big deal in Japan, where it's customary for people to take off their shoes whenever they enter someone's home. In fact, exposing others to bodily odors can be considered annoyance in Japan. Some of the most brilliant minds in the country's tech industry have been trying to solve this problem. Last year, Thanko started selling armpit (腋窝) fans designed to keep people's armpits nice and dry. Now, we have Hana-chan.The robot dog has a special sensor for a nose, and can tell you if your feet smell just by sniffing them for a few seconds. According to some media reports, Hana-chan can help solve the problem of extremely smelly feet by spraying them with air freshener, but it's unclear whether this feature comes built-in, or if you'll have to pay extra for it.According to researchers at NextTechnology, the idea forHana-chan was inspired by a person who desperately wanted some way to know if his feet smelled. He told us his daughter had said his feet were smelly," NextTechnology's Kimika Tsuji said. "But he didn't want to know how bad the odor was because he would feel hurt. That's why we developed this cute robot."You may be able to make Hana-chan faint with your smelly feet, but it can have the same effect on budget-conscious people. Next-Technology plans to start selling the feet-smelling robot dog next May.8. Under what condition will Hana-chan bark?A. When its nose is fixed with a sensor.B. When it detects mildly smelly feet.C. When it wags its tail.D. When something is wrong with its nose.9. Why is foot odor paid great attention to in Japan?A. Because Japanese have strong bodily odors.B. Because its tech industry is highly developed.C. Because Japanese are especially considerate of others.D. Because Japanese are usually barefooted at others' home.10.What can be inferred about Hana-chan from the text?A. Its idea comes from Kimika Tsuji.B. It's already available in the market.C. It can recognize foot odor quickly.D. It has a built-in air freshener sprayer.11. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?A. Hana-chan is no cheap thing.B. People should mind their smelly feet.C. People should be careful about their budget.D. Hana-chan makes people loosen their budget.DTo the untrained eye, handwriting styles may seem random. Some write big; others prefer small; and still others tend toward the unreadable. But a new study shows that your handwriting actually says more about you than you thought.Professor Sarah Rosenblum has been studying cognitive(认知) theory as it relates to handwriting for years. Researchers have already developed a computerized system that measures and analyzes even the smallest details of a person's handwriting, such as the space between the letters and the amount of pressure we apply when writing. Using this system, she discovered changes inhandwriting can indicate when we are lying and even whether someone is in the early stages of Parkinson's disease.Now, Rosenblum, with other researchers, is examining whether changes in handwriting can be used to identify moods (情绪). Researchers broke up study participants into three groups. Each group underwent an activity that put the participants in a different mood—positive, passive, and neutral(中立的), by viewing appropriate movies. After that, the participants were instructed to write a paragraph.After studying the participants' paragraphs, the different moods of each group were evident in characteristics like letter shape and size. For example, the height of the letters written by people in a negative(消极的) mood was significantly lower than that of the positive or neutral groups. Also, participants in a negative mood showed quicker writing and narrower width of letters than those in a positive mood.But why? The researchers explain that it is probably the negative mood that creates a cognitive burden on the brain, leading in turn to changes in handwriting."The findings of the study may help doctors identify their patient's actual mood," Rosenblum said. "In the future, we will try to examine whether we can also measure the level of the mood, i. e. how happy or sad someone is."So watch out: if you're happy, you know it. Your handwriting will, too.12. What can be learned through a person's handwriting?A. The pressure he is facing.B. The lies he is telling.C. The language he is speaking.D. A certain disease he might have.13. How were participants put into different moods during the study?A. By reading moving stories.B. By writing a paragraph.C. By watching certain films.D. By listening to programmes.14. What indicates a person is very happy?A. He writes small letters.B. He writes wide letters.C. He writes casually.D. He writes short letters.15. What is Rosenblum studying?A. How handwriting affects a person's mood.B. How mood is classified by types of handwriting.C. How a person's mood is reflected in handwriting.D. How doctors use handwriting to understand patients' mood.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But there may be a(n) 41 to doing so, as a study has claimed that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests.The research was led by neuroscientist(神经科学家) Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London. More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants watched Disney film Big Hero6 in either 42 type or RealD 3D. They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a part from the film. The test covered memory, reaction time and cognitive (认知的) function, and the results were later 43 .According to the research, participants 44 a 23 per cent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 percent increase in reaction time.Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain 45 in the future. “These findings are more significant than youmight think,” he said. “It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a(n) 46 decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can damage future quality of life. There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may 47 play a role in slowing this decline.”A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets(耳机)that48 brain activity and this too showed heightened activity when watching 3D. According to the results, participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life-something. “A seven percent rise in emotional engagement is 49 remarkable. Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience, as these results show,” he said. “In evolutionary 50 , the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense. 3D films are more likely to heighten the senses and cause emotional arousal—this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds,” Dr Fagan added.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, Cand D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Researchers recently find w omen likely face work environments that push against the “having it all” mentality, leading to feelings of guilt and depression.Trying to have it all could be bad for your mental health, according to a new study that finds that “supermoms” have higher rates of depression compared with working moms who let things 51 .The research, presented Aug. 20 at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Las Vegas, finds that working is 52 for mothers’ mental health. But among working mothers, the least depressed are those who don’t expect to 53 work and family life perfectly, said study researcher Katrina Leupp, a graduate student at the University of Washington in Seattle.“The ideal that women can do it all actually 54 the level of depressive symptoms compared to women who were more doubtful about whether or not work and family c an be balanced,” Leupp told LiveScience.Leupp analyzed survey 55 from 1,600 married women who participated in a large survey called the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. In 1987, the women answered questions to judge their support of women’s 56 , including whether they agreed with statements such as “Women are much happier if they stay at home and take care of their children.”In 1992 and 1994, the now 40-year-old women answered questions about their symptoms of depression. Like earlier studies, the survey data indicated that women who worked outside the home had fewer symptoms of depression, perhaps because outside work giveswomen more 57 interaction, more varied activities and a larger income, Leupp said.Among the employed women, though, the cheeriest were those who had indicated in their younger years the least 58 for women balancing career and family. The results held even after controlling for earlier levels of depression.“Somewhat 59 , women who don’t expect to be able to balance work and family have better mental health than those who do,” Leupp said.The study didn’t explain why optimistic (乐观的) views of balancing work and motherhood would60 later depression. “The reason may come down to 61 and real-world work environme nts,”Leupp said. “Women who expect to have it all probably come up against 62 that aren’t designed with work-life balance in mind. When they can’t balance everything perfectly, these supermoms are more likely to feel 63 .”“I think this research rea lly speaks to a 64 between women’s expectations and the actual structure of the workplace,” Leupp said.“The takeaway for working moms is to temper their optimism about balancing 65 and employmentand not to blame themselves if they struggle. Recognize that if it feels difficult, it’s because it is difficult.”51. A. happen B. continue C. slide D. end52. A. good B. ready C. hard D. possible53.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits bestaccording to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The twenty-four horses dash around a racetrack. The thunder of their hooves (蹄) rings in the riders’ears, nearly drowning out the cheering of the crowd. After three or four minutes of suspense, one horse crosses the finish line first, winning the Melbourne Cup and earning a place in history.The horses that compete in the Melbourne Cup—one of the world’s most famous horseraces—were fated to race. Bred for speed, these horses are the few that were singled out as having potential to become champions.Preparing a racehorse to compete requires a team. A horse’s owner manages the team and decides which races to enter. A trainer determines the racehorse’s diet and exercise. Regular exercise makes a horse less likely to be injured, but overtraining tires the horse. A groomer (动物美容师) cares for the racehorse and reports any problems he discovers to the trainer. And of course, no horserace could be run without a rider. These riders train for long hours and travel constantly from one race to another. They need to make a strategy, adapt to changing conditions and communicate with their horse to guide it to victory.Australia’s most famous horserace, the Melbourne Cup, is 3,200 meters of pure excitement. Each year 300 or 400 horses are nominated(提名), but only 24 can run. The competitors are chosen based on a number of factors, but winners of certain races qualify automatically.Each racehorse receives a handicap—a certain weight it must carry to give each horse an equal chance of winning—two months before the race. Originally, horses that seemed likely to win were assigned larger handicaps. But the rules have changed, reducing the handicap for previous winners.The first Melbourne Cup in 1861 drew a crowd of 4,000 spectators, and the race’s popularity has grown since then. Held on the first Tuesday of November, the cup has become a four-day festival with fine food and entertainment.The Melbourne Cup began during a gold rush as a form of entertainment for the rich. Today it still attracts society’s upper class. They come dressed in their finest to enjoy the event in comfort.But anyway it’s all about the race—the effort of horses and riders, the suspense and the thrill of victory.66. What can be learned about the horses in the Melbourne Cup?A. They are all winners of a certain race.B. They are raised and trained by joint effort.C. They are chosen from ordinary horses.D. Their fates are determined by their trainers.67. The racehorses are given handicaps so that _____.A. they will weigh the sameB. previous winners are unlikely to winC. the race will be fair enoughD. they will be more adaptable to the race68. It can be learned from the passage that _____.A. the spectators of the Melbourne Cup must dress wellB. the Melbourne Cup was intended for wealthy peopleC. the winner of the Melbourne Cup can earn a large fortuneD. the Melbourne Cup is the best-known horserace worldwide69.

The exhibits in “From Ballyhosset to Bengal” have long belonged to the museum.(C)Fed up with constantly having to recharge or replace batteries in your ever-expanding electronic devices? The solution may be just a few steps away.“Energy harvesting”promises to power countless consumer devices, often with nothing more thanyour body’s movement or heat. Dozens of companies around the world already offer such products, but many experts believe the market for the technology could explode due to electronic devices being developed for the Internet of Things.“It’s huge,”said Graham Martin, CEO of the EnOcean Alliance, a San Ramon-based group of businesses that promotes wireless energy-harvesting technologies. With the Internet of Things expected to combine billions of devices, “if they are all battery-powered, we’ll have a problem because there’s not enough lithium (锂) in the world,” he added. “So a lot of them will have to use energy harvesting.”Among the most basic forms of the technology is body power. When certain materials are squeezed or stretched, the movement of their atoms creates an electrical charge. Automatic watches have employed the concept for decades, for example, by winding themselves when their user moves their arm. Now, the concept is being considered for a number of other devices.In a contest seeking visionary ideas for wearable technologies, Intel awarded $5,000 for a concept to change the temperature difference between a person’s body and a special piece of clothing they’d wear into electricity for mobile devices.Using sound to power devices is another energy-harvesting variation. Stanford University engineers are testing smart microchips (芯片) that create electricity from ultrasound (超声波) to power implantable (可植入的) devices that can analyze a person’s nervous system or treat their diseases.A textile (纺织品) research association in Spain is proposing to obtain electricity from radio waves that flow around everyone to power sensors sewn into clothes, which can monitor a person’s heartbeat or other vital signs.Research firm IDTechEx has estimated that annual global sales of energy-harvesting products could hit $2.6 billion by 2024, while WinterGreen Research predicts sales of $4.2 billion by 2021.Obtaining stable energy from devices can be complex, however. For one thing, the motion that generates the electricity has to be constant to be useful. Moreover, the amount of power the devices produce depends on the person using them, according to a ColumbiaUniversity study. It determined that taller people on average provide about 20 percent more power than shorter ones when walking, running or cycling.It’s also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products. While such devices are expected to cost less than battery-powered alternatives when compared over many years, experts say, people may continue buying ones with batteries merely because those would be cheaper in the short term.74. Which “explode”in the following sentences has the most similar meaning to the word “explode”inParagraph 2?A. They were clearing up when the second bomb exploded.B. The continued tension could explode into more violence.C. The population exploded to 40,000 during the last tourist season.D. The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary.75. What makes “energy harvesting” necessary according to the passage?A. The waste of lithium in the world.B. The increasing number of electronic devices.C. The development of technology.D. The pollution caused by batteries.76. It can be learned from the passage that _____.A. energy-harvesting products save money in the long runB. taller people can surely produce a larger amount of powerC. automatic watches harvest energy from the user s’ body heatD. two ways of harvesting energy are mentioned in the passage77. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Energy harvesting: a low-risk technologyB. Energy harvesting: a high-profit technologyC. Energy harvesting: a problem-free technologyD. Energy harvesting: an environment-friendly technologySection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in thefewest possible words.Want to attractand keeptop talent? Here’s a suggestion: Make a flexible work schedule part of the deal.Asurvey this summer of 1,215 U.S. managers and employees across a variety of industries, by EY (formerly Ernst & Young), found those aged 18 to 32 rank flexibility among the perks (特殊待遇) they want most, with 33% saying they wouldn’t work anywhere that didn’t offer it. But it seems those aged 33 to 48value flextime even more: 38% of them consider it non-negotiable, with men who said so, at 40%, slightly outnumbering women (37%).“Companies first started offering flexible schedules, in the late 80s and the 90s, as a way to recruit (招募) and keep talented women, but it’s gone way beyond that now,” observes Karyn Twaronite, an EY partner who came up through the tax side of the business.Noting that both men and women, in all age groups, ranked flextime(弹性工作制) tops among non-cash perks, Twaronite adds, “That result mirrors exactly what we’re seeing here at EY.” The accounting and consulting giant, No. 57 on Fortune’s Best Companies to Work For, has had thousands of employees working flexible schedules for years—including, since 2004, six weeks’ of paid leave for new dads.“Flextime may have started out as a women’s issue, but it’s changed into something that people of both sexes have come to expect,” he adds. “I think it’s partly because of the large nu mber of two-career households now, where people have to adapt to two demanding professional schedules instead of just one.”The EY survey suggests that, in the next decade or so, the opportunity for a life outside the office will become an even bigger draw than it already is. Most of those surveyed still work a set schedule, the report notes, but “respondents expect a shift in the coming years to more flexible hours, as 62% currently work standard office hours and only 50% expect to do so in five to ten yea rs.”That doesn’t surprise Twaronite. “Work is changing,” she observes. “The technology to connect anywhere and anytime means that people are expected to be on call 24 hours a day, especially in global companies that operate across different time zones. The other side of that is that employers are adapting to people’s lives outside of work—because they have to be.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the main finding of the survey?79. Flextime was originally aimed at _____.80. The result of the survey is caused by the fact that _____.81.

2021新高考英语模拟试卷2

2021新高考英语模拟试卷2第一部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A.Perfect.B.Disappointing.C.Cool but too realistic. D.Good but too long. 2.What may you prefer to read if you are interested in travel?A.As You Wish. B.Royce Rolls.C.Queens o f Geek.D.I Hate Everyone But You. 3.What can we learn about Bent?A.She was an actor at the age of 12.B.She is a teen who loves making trouble.C.She had a big wish on her 18th birthday.D.She shares her friendship in her book.BI suspect that we socialize more during the spring and summer months. Under the warm sun, yards bloom with cold drinks and conversation, barbecues get fired up, and parties quickly spill outside. Shifting these sweet summer parties to ones that arc also waste-free can be both simple and inexpensive, with just a few small changes to your habits.The first step is to keep invitations virtual. Creating a Facebook event or sending a simple email is perfect for inviting guests to your party without generating waste from paper invitations, and if you're looking for something a bit more formal, sites such as Greenvelope and Paperless Post have given the cheesy e-vite a brilliant makeover. Virtual invites also allow you to track RSVPs, communicate with guests, and provide clickable info about your event.To decorate, make use of the candles, flowers and greenery already in your outdoor space rather than stocking upon store-bought flowers, and consider using decorations that can be reused (like a cloth happy birthday banner, for example) rather than one-time use decorations. Skip the balloons in favour of large tissue paper pom-poms, and offer up any decorations still in decent condition to a free group after the event rather than just tossing them out.The most obvious way to cut down on party waste, of course, is by getting rid of disposable plates, cups and cutlery. I shouldn't have to do much convincing in this department – does anyone actually enjoy using those paper plates that fold in half when you pile them high with too much greek salad or drip oil through the bottom? Has anyone in the history of the world ever actually successfully cut anything with one of those completely useless plastic knives? There really isn't much to be gained from using disposables.With these shifts and a few other small adjustments here and there – paper straws instead of plastic, a large drink dispenser rather than individual soft drinks or juice boxes – you'll be set to celebrate all summer long, without suffering the accompanying garbage hangover the next day. 4.Which is the best title for the passage?A.How to hold a successful garden party. B.Summer garden party habits.C.How to hold greener summer parties.D.How to entertain your guests. 5.What does the underlined word “cheesy” in the second paragraph mean?A.Free. B.Formal. C.Plain. D.Inviting.6.What should we do with used decorations in good condition?A.Donate them. B.Sell them. C.Put them away. D.Throw them away. 7.Why docs the writer dislike paper plates?A.They're too expensive. B.They're not practical.C.They're not convincing. D.They're not popular.CSome people say summer is the time when teachers should get more pay. But not everyone is grateful to teachers for keeping kids occupied between August and June. Washington state representative Liz Pike has written a Facebook post, titled "A life in the day of a WA staterepresentative", and responded to teachers' complaints of rising costs of living. The post has received criticism for being anti-teacher. After reading her post, I feel that Liz Pike should rethink her criticism of public school teaching and avoid comparing it to the private school.Many of us teachers would certainly like teaching to be more like the private school. We see nothing wrong with fair pay for fair performance. In fact, performance is the name of the game. With standardized testing popular throughout K-12 education, teachers are some of the most analyzed and performance-measured employees in the United States. Liz Pike is very angry that teachers want raises even while test scores are dropping. Well, how are we supposed to have discipline in the classroom when our hands are tied and we can hardly do anything with naughty students or fail students who are not prepared to move on to the next grade?.Teachers would love to be able to turn education around and improve students' performance. But we can't and we should not suffer for it. Unlike private school businesses, public schools cannot turn away “customers”.A private school business serves customers who walk through the door of their own free will, while public schools have to educate students who only attend because courts say they must.She says those who are "uninspired" by a lack of a cost of living increase should give up teaching. Is this the message that she thinks should be sent to the students whose academic performance she claims to care much about? That “if you love it you'll shut up and not stand up for yourself ”?I think teachers should stand up for themselves and I also think supporting teachers can make teachers teach children how to stand up for themselves.8.What is Liz Pnce's opinion?A.Teachers should be treated equally.B.Teachers shouldn't ask for a pay rise.C.Teachers should accept public criticism.D.Teachers 8houldn't give students much homework9.What problem do teachers in public schools face in the author’s opinion?A.Their performance is not measured.B.Many schools are becoming private.C.They can't master the correct teaching method.D.They are under the control of a system of rules.10.The underlined word "customers" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to .A.students B.teachersC.clever businessmen D.private schools11.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A.some teachers are not excellent enoughB.supporting teachers is helpful to studentsC.teachers shouldn't complain about their living costsD.Liz Pike doesn't care about students' academic performanceDTraditional Chinese Medicine(TCM), along with Chinese Kungfu and Peking Opera, is one of China’s cultural symbols recognized worldwide. It is a gem of Chinese civilization, and it has also made great contributions to world civilization by improving peopl e’s health and promoting social progress.There used to be a debate in China about whether TCM or Western medicine was better, and arguments can still be heard today. But actually, TCM and western medicine are two different medical theoretical systems that can not replace each other. In some aspects such as surgery, Western medicine is better than TCM, but in other areas, such as recovery after surgery and treatment of chronic(慢性的) diseases, TCM is more effective. This is way some Chinese hospitals provide both TCM and Western medicine treatments. A combination of both has been accepted by many Chinese people as the most effective treatment.Today, promoting and innovating TCM has become a consensus (共识) in Chinese society. The Chinese government has formulated policies to support the development and innovation of TCM, with a view to establishing a Chinese healthcare development model paying equal attention to both.The supportive policies of the Chinese Government will focus on three aspects. The first is the strengthening of TCM services in medical institutions. The second is to apply Internet technology to TCM management, including setting up a database containing TCM electronic medical records and prescriptions (处方) . The third is to give better play to the advantages of TCM, especially acupuncture (针灸) and naprapathy(推拿). The function of TCM in disease prevention and recovery will also be enhanced.As long as TCM keeps its core strengths and respects the rules of development and innovation, it will surely be able to maintain its vitality and bring more benefits to people in China and the world.12.What advantage does Western medicine have over TCM?A.It is a symbol of national civilization.B.It is more effective in surgery.C.It is more successful in recovery after surgery.D.It is more effective in treating chronic diseases.13.What is the characteristic of the Chinese healthcare development model?A.It stresses the importance of Western medicine.B.It attaches equal attention to TCM and Western medicine.C.It has been established by the Chinese government.D.It pays equal attention to developing and innovating TCM.14.According to paragraph 4, which of the following aspects is not included in the Chinese government supports for TCM?A.It makes better use of the advantages of TCM.B.It combines Internet Technology with TCM.C.It calls on the public to support TCM.D.It increases TCM services in hospitals and medical centers.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.TCM Breaks New Ground.B.Chinese Government Promotes TCM.C.TCM is One of China’s Cultural Symbols.D.TCM Beats Western Medicine.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A.They make peoplerun over the past days.B.They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C.They are extremely popular with young people.D.They make people feel relaxed and happy.25.What can we know from the text?A.Oor Wullie an d The Broons are the author’s favorite books.B.A comfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.C.The author sometimes reads something about inspiration.D.Reading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.26.What is Paragraph 6 mainly about? A.What material brings us laughter. B.How laughter affects our health. C.What benefits laughter brings to us. D.Why laughter is good for us.27.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B.To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C.To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D.To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.CSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”.But have you ever thought about this expression?When a cat is frightened,its heart starts beating faster,its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in itsbloodstream.Although the cat doesn’t realize this,its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues,the animal will do one of two things.It will protect itself,or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited,angry or scared by other feelings,our bodies go through many physical changes.Our hearts beat faster,and our muscles get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We,too,get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings,however,have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over,we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later?Have you ever shouted at a teacher,told somebody you were lonely,or said you were inlove,and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut?It isn’t always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it’s smarter to always hide our feelings?No!If you keep feelings of anger or sadnesshidden away or bottled up inside,your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop,and you can feel disturbed badly inside.It can actually be bad for your health.It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don’t just go away.It’s as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them,but before long you’d smell them.And if you opened thecupboard,chances are th at you’d see little fruit flies flying all over them.They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist,but they’ll still be around.And at last you’ll have to deal with them,just like those bananas. 28.When people and animals are aroused by fear, . A.they feel veryregretful immediatelyB.their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC.their hearts beat either faster or slowerD.they may get ready to attack or run away29.Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage? A.They are usually not as alert as animals.B.They sometimes can’t control their feelings.C.They always do something wrong to other people.D.They don’t pay attention to the ir physical changes.30.What can we infer from the passage?A.Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.B.Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C.Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.D.It’s good for y our health to keep pleasant feelings inside. 31.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To tell us that people’s feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.B.To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C.To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.D.To prove that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freely.DSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”?Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you?Who asks for a fact easily found on Google?Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness.But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts,you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello.E-mail,too,is slower than a text.Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages,none of which I listenedto.Exasperated,he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls.“Why are you leaving him voice mail?” my sister asked.“Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone,there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast,a business’s phone number,or directions to a house,a restaurant,which can be easily found on Google Maps.But people still ask these things.And when you answer,they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards?Easy.Consider your audience.Some people,especially older ones,appreciate a thank-you message.Others,likeme,want no reply.The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies,the young learnt from the old.But in modern societies,the old can also learn from the young.Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out o f fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.32.What does the underlined word “Exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph? A.Worried. B.Surprised. C.Annoyed. D.Tired. 33.Why didn’t the writer reply to his father? A.He liked text messages better.B.He enjoyed checking his voice mail.C.He didn’t receive any voice mail messages.D.He didn’t want to talk with his father.34.Which of the following does the writer agree to?A.People needn’t learn from one another in traditional so cieties.B.Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.C.People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.D.Declaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary. 35.What’s the best title of this passage?A.Nowadays:what should we do with text messages?B.Nowadays:do you like leaving others a voice message?C.Nowadays:what means should we use in communication?D.Nowadays:do you need a thank-you message? 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Europe's biggest online takeaway food company Just Eat has partnered with Starship Technologies to deliver food with robots on the streets of London later this month. "Nobody has ever done deliveries with land-based robots," said Allan Martinson, the chief operating officer of Starship.The robot courier can travel up to 4 miles per hour for about 10 miles. It uses a GPS signal and nine cameras to navigate (确定方向). Instead of a person arriving at their door, customers could find themselves receiving a notification on their phone that says a robot is on its way and a code to unlock the automated courier. "Put the code in, the robot opens up, and there's your food," said David Buttress, chief manager of Just Eat.The robot, which has so far been tested in Greenwich, Milton Keynes and Glastonbury, costs £ 1 to transport within 3 miles, compared with the £3 to £6 it costs for a human courier. To date 30 robots have driven nearly 5,000 miles without getting into an accident or finding themselves picked on by passers-by. They have driven in more than 40 cities around the world, including London and Tallinn, Estonia.An initial worry was how the public would react to robots. But Martinson said the public has been calm when passing the delivery machine on the streets. "The most surprising reaction has been the lack of reaction," said Martinson.Another significant fear was that people would disrupt (扰乱) the robots, or try to steal them and their contents. To prevent this, the robot is fitted with nine cameras, two way audio, and movement sensors that send a warning if it is lifted off the ground. And it opens only with a passcodeprovided to the customer via a notification. "It's much easier to shoplift than it is to steal a robot," said Martinson.41. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "courier" in Paragraph 2?A: delivererB: collectorC: providerD: guide42. According to the text, the Starship robot _______.A: opens up upon hearing the codeB: travels 10 miles per hour at mostC: finds its way by means of GPS and camerasD: sends a message to the customer upon arrival43.The test of Starship robots shows that_____A. they are easy to operate .B. the robot delivery is appreciated in big cities .C. the robot delivery is cheaper than human deliveryD. they can travel for 10 hours continuously .44. Which of the following is one of the worries about Starship robots? A: Safety of the robot delivery.B: Accuracy of the robot delivery.C: Peoples indifference to the robots.D: People's concern about public traffic.45. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A: Great Improvement of Just EatB: Global Trend of Food CompaniesC: New Robots to Move on the roadD: Delivery Robots to Replace Takeaway DriversCThe light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis's Swamp(沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp."So," Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. "How did this place get its name?""Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary story," warned Jack."Of course!" cried out Tom. "If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place!""Ok, but don't say I didn't warn you," said Jack, and he began this tale. "Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different —it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice."You are clearing too much land," warned one old man. "The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse(滥用) it.""Silly fool," said Dennis to himself. "If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll become wealthier. He's just jealous(嫉妒)!""Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He didnot notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.""What happened?" Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire."The land hit back —just as the old man warned," Jack shrugged. "Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.""What a stupid story, "laughed Tom. "Plants can't …" Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy(常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.46. The underlined word "dare" in Paragraph 1 is closed in meaning to _____.A: adviceB: assistanceC: instructionD: challenge47. Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?A: To frighten them.B: To satisfy their curiosity.C: To warn them of the danger of the place.D: To persuade them to camp in the swamp.48. Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man? A: The old man envied him.B: The old man was foolish.C: He was too busy to listen to others.D: He was eager for more crops.49. Why did Tom scream and faint?A: He saw Dennis's shadowB: He was scared by a plantC: His friends played a joke on him.D: The weather became extremely cold.50. What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?A: Grasp all, lose all.B: No sweat, no sweet.C: It is no use crying over spilt milk.D: He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.DWhat makes a person a giver or taker? The idea "give vs. take" takes shape in all interactions (互动) and relationships of our lives. We're either giving advice, making time for people, or we're on the receiving end. We keep changing between the two based on different situations on a daily basis, if not an hourly one.According to Adam Grant, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, most people are matchers. They make careful observations on takers and make it a point for them to pay something back. They hate to see people who act so generously towards others not receive any rewards. Actually, most matchers will try hard to promote and support givers so that they can get the good they deserve.Is there a gender factor (性别因素) that plays a part in this?A study led by Hannah Riley Bowles, a professor at Harvard University, focused on this question. She asked 200 senior managers to sit down inpairs where one person would act as the boss and the other as an employee to discuss salary promotions. Male "employees" asked for an average salary of 146kwhilethefemalesaskedforonly 141k. But why did they not bargain as hard as the men? Simply because they were more likely to be givers.As a woman, I do enjoy the act of giving up my time, my knowledge, and my care and my attention to others. I don't expect anything in return, but I do tend to pull myself away when I feel like I'm being taken for granted.I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one's continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed. So, it's safe to say I'm 50% giver, 35% matcher and 15% taker.I do know someone, however, who is 99% giver. They're constantly devoting their time, sharing valuable insights (洞察力) and going out of their way for everyone who crosses their path. Although they're changed the lives of many people, they rarely see any of it returned. But the universe is slowly repaying them; they're now extremely successful, well known for what they do.51.We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.A. most people think they are giversB. people are not always givers or takersC.an individual is born to be a giver or a takerD. few differences exist between givers and takers52.In Adam Grant's opinion, most people ________.A. hate takersB. prefer giving to takingC. enjoy relying on themselvesD. balance giving and taking53.Hannah's study focused on ________.A. The role of giving and taking in jobsB. The gender difference in giving and takingC. The role of men and women in societyD. The salary difference between women and men54.The author tends to ________.A. think acts of kindness should be valuedB. expect something in return for giving most of the timeC. take giving for grantedD.be a complete matcher55.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Giving is the shortest path to success.B. Sharing is the greatest human quality.C. No good deed goes undone.D. Givers are worth respecting.第三部分:写作第一节:阅读表达(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)阅读短文,按照题目要求用英文回答问题。
