Alexandria Villasenor, who was 13 at the time, witnessed the destruction of Northern California’s Camp Fire, which would go on to burn more than 150,000 acres of land. Villasenor was scared. “That’s when I found out how important climate education was,” she reflected. “And just how much we lacked climate education these past couple of years.”Villasenor, now 15, is determined to have a bigger conversation. She quickly realized the fight requires international, government-level changes. For her, what started as local concern turned into a year-long protest in front of the United Nations’ New York City headquarters and a global campaign for more compulsory climate education. She sat on a bench in front of the headquarters, pleading for the world’s leaders to take climat e change seriously.Her action received national attention, with millions of other students around the world joining in the movement. “It’s completely unacceptable to not learn anything about our planet and our environment in school, after all the young pe ople would ‘inherit’ the Earth.” Villasenor said, “That’s why I think that climate education is so important, and that’s why I focus a lot on it now.”Right now, Villasenor is working with the Biden-Harris administration on its climate plan, which has promised to center the needs of young people and communities most impacted by climate change. She even spoke at the 2020 Democratic National Convention. “That was definitely a huge moment when I realized that people were listening to the voices of me and youth climate activists,” Villasenor said.When she isn’t connecting with her fellow youth activists or holding elected officials accountable to the climate concerns of their young voters, Villasenor is like most other teens. “My favorite thing to do, of course, is sleep.” she said. “I like to read a lot. I like fantasy books, normally. I also like to write.”4．What made Villasenor realize the lack of climate education?A. The state of California.B. The fire disasters in America.C. 150, 000 acres of land scaring her.D. The severe Camp fire in California.5．What does the underlined part “have a bigger conversation” mean?A. To talk with more local people to change their mind.B. To convey her belief loudly to more global students.C. To protest to leaders at home and abroad to make changes.D. To call on local people to fight with the leaders.6．Which of the following facts gives Villasenor a sense of achievement?A. That she is working with the Biden-Harris administration on its climate plan.B. That her and other youth climate activists’ opinions caught people’s attention.C. That she can sleep and read in her spare time.D. That more schools have set up climate courses.7．What is this passage mainly about?A. The 15-year-old activist fighting for better climate education.B. Climate education deserves everyone’s attention around the world.C. How to prevent camp fire.D. Young activists make their voices heard.When 9-year-old Alice asked me, “Mom, do I have to brush my hair today?”, I didn’t know how to answ er. On the one hand, it’s good to have pride in our appearance. And hair-brushing does not take a lot of effort. But on the other hand, I was happy that my daughter paid little attention to the way her hair looked, how she dressed or what people thought about her. In Alice’s world, brushing her hair was troublesome and she would just do it as little as possible. I knew back then that those feelings would not last a long time.Five years later, at age 14, Alice is obsessed (迷恋) with her physical appearance. Hair has to be brushed, makeup used, and clothes changed many times before we can even think about leaving the house. My confident teen worries about whether her nail (指甲) color matches her shirt or if she looks “stupid” in the very same clothes she says she loved the day before. With shame, it crosses my mind that I somehow raised a looks-obsessed child, focusing on things that are shallow (肤浅的) .We have talked about in detail how looks don’t matter and that being a good, kind, caring person in this world is way more important than looking good. Each time we talk about this, Alice tells me that she knows that looks aren’t important. But when she looks good on the outside, she feels more confident on the inside. In turn, that makes her a kinder, more caring, more understanding person. I certainly can’t argue with such powerful teenage thinking And just as she learned over the years that often brushing hair is probably a good idea, hopefully she will learn that sometimes it’s okay to go out in a less-than-perfect coat or without makeup. Somewhere deep down, her freewheeling (随心所欲的) 9-year-old self stillknows that.8．What was the 9-year-old Alice like?A. She cared little about her looks.B. She was curious about the world.C. She communicated with her mom often.D. She liked to brush her hair for her mom.9．What does the author think of Alice’s change?A. It is a waste of money.B. It is totally unnecessary.C. It makes Alice look a little older.D. It makes the author feel ashamed.10．What is the author’s reaction to Alice’s reasons?A. She falls silent.B. She is surprised.C. She pays no attention to them.D. She thinks about them carefully.11．What is the best title for the text?A. My daughter’s freewheeling attitude to her looksB. My admiration for my daughter’s courage to changeC. My struggle to do with my looks-obsessed daughterD. My daughter’s methods of looking good and feeling goodYour smartphone breaks. The repair costs too much money. So you give up and buy a new device (设备) . That this happens so often is no coincidence (巧合) .Many big device makers are putting more new products on the market. But they do not sell specialized tools and parts needed for repairs. And they offer no instruction on how to repair their products. As a result, the independent repair shops in your neighborhood find they cannot repair your broken smartphone. You can only go to faraway authorized (经授权的) repair shops to get the necessary repair service, which is often costly.In recent years, some producers have taken steps to make repairs easier, but there’s a growing effort across the world to push them to do more. Last week, the “Right to Repair movement heard good news from the White House. The president of the US on Friday signed an order aimed at encouraging healthy competition in the US economy. It includes a condition for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) . The FTC was asked to make rules preventing producers from limiting independent device repair shops and DIY repairs.“Right to Repair” is a global movement to make sure everyone has the right to fix the products they own. The idea has generally come from the United States. The earliest known published reference using the group of words comes from the auto industry dating back to2003. Its supporters require companies to provide their parts, tools and information forconsumers (消费者) and repair shops. They also encourage the government to make laws to force producers to increase device reparability.The FTC in May presented a 56-page report. It said that “many consumer products have become harder to fix.” The report also found that “the burden (负担) of repair limits may fall more heavily on communities of color and consumers having little money” because many independent repair shops are owned by people of color and because high-cost repairs hit low-paid consumers harder.12．What problem does the author discuss in paragraph 2?A. Electronic products’ quality is low.B. The repair market makes little money.C. The prices of new devices keep rising.D. Customers have difficulty repairing devices.13．What is the US government’s attitude to the “Right to Repair” movement?A. Doubtful.B. Uncaring.C. SupportiveD. Concerned.14．In writing paragraph 4, the author aims to ________.A. provide a solutionB. reach a conclusionC. give background informationD. introduce a new topic for discussion15．What can we learn about the movement from the last paragraph?A. It may especially benefit the poor.B. It will help reduce production costs.C. It was started by communities of color.D. It is supported by authorized repair shops.二、七选五16．We often try to save money for a variety of different reasons. It might be to save up for a new computer or put money aside into a rainy-day fund. ①_________, but a recent study showed that over half of all 22~29-year-olds living in the UK have no savings at all. Did they max out on too many things, or are there other factors? And how can we become better savers?First, put a stop to those impulse buys. ②_________, even if it is on sale or looks like a bargain. Impulse buys are done in the heat of the moment and without thought for what it’scosting you. Encouraging yourself to question your purchase before you buy allows you to process what you are doing.③_________. Withdraw cash before you go to a restaurant or shopping and set a fixed budget you must stick to. Also, any change that comes from your transactions when you’re using cash can be put in jar and deposited into your account.Finally, be disciplined. ④_________. It’s about sticking to it, too. You shouldn’t be dipping into your savings every time you feel like it. Setting up a standing order from your current account into your savings the moment you receive your salary will ensure you keep up the habit. ⑤_________.Just as the old saying goes: “A penny saved is a penny earned.” These are some of the actions we can take to help us all become better savers.A. Learning how to save is importantB. Ask about discounts and pay in cashC. It’s no t just about creating that budgetD. Sometimes, saving money can be difficultE. Another way is to use cash rather than cardF. Ask yourself if you really need to buy somethingG. Successful savers stick to their plans and watch the money pile up三、完形填空（15空）A woman is volunteering in ashelter.

2023-2024学年湖北省部分学校高三上学期10月月考英语试题
2023-2024学年湖北省部分学校高三上学期10月月考英语试题TEENAGE KICKSSatisfy your teens’ appetite for the unusual in Bristol with classic shopping and immersive art.MAKING THEIR MARKWhile it can be tricky to persuade some teens to embrace art, you’ll find it easier in Bristol. You won’t have to look too hard to encounter the handiwork of the city’s talented son, Banksy — who was born here — on a walking tour and there are 200 other o dd street artists in the city. There are spray-painting workshops too if your teens want to try this type of art themselves.A WHOLE NEW WORLDIf all that graffiti leads to a new-found interest in art, then the next step is Wake The Tiger, a new immersive art experience. Through a maze (迷宫) of creative works, installations, hidden forests and secret passageways, you and your family will enter the fictional kingdom of Meridia and follow a fascinating storyline involving the secrets of the world’s four great associations. It’s per fect for teen fantasy fans.VINTAGE (老式的) FINDSIf your teen is keen to develop their emo or fairy core style, take them to Park Street to discover the junk and vintage shops, including Uncle Sam’s Vintage, perfect for everything from American distinctive jackets to Levi’s jeans as well as The Vintage Thrift Store, Loot Vintage and Sobeys. MARKET FINDSWith dumplings to Caribbean-inspired wraps, St Nicholas Markets, or St Nick’s to the locals, has delicious lunch options. It’s Bristol’s oldest market, trading since 1743. When you’re finished, don’t miss the shopping: It’s also home to Bristol’s largest collection of independent retailers.1. Who is the target audience of this article?A．Teachers. B．Shopkeepers. C．Agents. D．Parents.2. Where should a teen go if he wants to dine and shop?A．Levi. B．Uncle Sam’s Vintage.C．Wake The Tiger. D．St Nicholas Markets.3. What do the four themes have in common?A．They can satisfy the teen’s fantasy taste.B．They show the traditional features ofBristol.C．They can give teens unique experience. D．They come in many varieties but cost alot.Just about 50 years ago, needing money to support my family—my novels weren’t bestsellers—I had the idea of taking the longest train trip imaginable and writing a travel book about it. The trip was improvisational (即兴的). I didn’t have a credit card. I had no idea where I’d be staying nor how long this trip would take. And I’d never written a travel book before. I hoped my trip wouldn’t suffer a lot, though it was obviously a leap in the dark.I set off with one small bag containing clothes, a map of Asia, a travel guidebook and some travelers’ cheques. I was often inconvenienced, sometimes threatened, now and then disturbed for bribes, occasionally laid up with food poisoning—all this vivid detail for my narrative.What I repeated in the more than four-month trip was the pleasure of the sleeping car. Writing on board the Khyber Mail to Lahore in Pakistan, “The romance associated with the sleeping car comes from the fact that it is extremely private, combining the best features of a cupboard with forward movement. Whatever drama is being shown in this moving bedroom is heightened by the landscape passing the window...” A train is a carrier that allows residence.I wrote The Great Railway Bazaar on my return in 1974, and it appeared to good reviews and quick sales. That’s the past. Nothing is the same. All travel is time-related. All such trips are singular and unrepeatable. It’s not just that the steam trains of Asia are gone, but much o f the peace and order is gone. Who’d risk an Iranian train now or take a bus through Afghanistan?But I’ve been surprised by some of the more recent developments in travel. I rode on Chinese trains for a year and wrote Riding the Iron Rooster, but now China has much cleaner and swifter trains and modernized destinations. A traveler today could take the same trip I took in 1986—1987 and produce a completely different book.All travel books are dated. That’s their fault that they’re outdated, and it’s the ir virtue that they preserve something of the past that would otherwise be lost.4. What happened at the beginning of the author’s trip to Asia?A．He made full preparations for the trip.B．He had expected the journey to be rough.C．He organized the trip with his family’s support.D．He started the trip out of his passion for traveling.5. Why did the author repeatedly recall the sleeping car?A．For its romantic scenery. B．For its reassuring privacy.C．For its full equipment. D．For its long distance.6. What did the author try to convey by saying “Nothing is the same”?A．The landscape in Asia was gone. B．Train trip was no longer popular.C．He couldn’t write another bestseller.D．Transportation and travel had changed alot.7. Which of the following statements would the author most likely agree with?A．Practice makes perfect. B．Sharp tools make good work.C．Travel, truth is not the arrival card. D．The journey, not the arrival matters. Happiness, as I see it, comprises five elements: spiritual well-being (meaning and purpose), physical well-being (nutrition, exercise), intellectual well-being (curiosity, deep learning), relational well-being (kindness and generosity), and emotional well-being (cultivating positive emotions). As an interdependent aggregate of these five elements of SPIRE, happiness is about much more than experiencing pleasure.As Aristotle put it, happiness is the ultimate purpose of life, meaning how we spend our everyday lives is ultimately guided by what we think would make us happier. This is not a good or a bad thing. It simply is, like the law of nature. Even people who are tirelessly working for an important cause, for example, to get rid of world hunger, are doing it because they find their work meaningful. Meaning is an element of happiness.One barrier to happiness has to do with the expectation that happiness is an unbroken chain of positive emotions. This expectation, however, prevents people from experiencing happiness because painful emotions don’t go away but grow stronge r when we reject them.The second barrier has to do with equating happiness with success. It’s a commonly held belief that happiness can be attained by achieving certain goals, like money or fame. People tend to think if they finally find success, they will automatically become happy.The third barrier has to do with the way people pursue happiness. We want to be happy for many reasons. After all, we are constantly told that happiness is good for our health, relationships, and work outcomes. Yet, if I wake up in the morning and decide to pursue happiness straight, I will become less happy.But how? Indirectly. As is known, if you look up at the sun directly, you’ll hurt yourself. But if you take the same sun rays and break them down, you’ll enjoy the colors of a rainbow. Similarly, pursuing happiness directly can hurt us; pursuing it indirectly—by breaking it down into something like the SPIRE elements—can contribute to our well-being. Starting a meditation practice, exercising, performing acts of kindness, learning something new, or expressing gratitude for what we have are all indirect ways of pursuing happiness.8. What does the underlined word “aggregate” probably mean in the first paragraph?A．Combination. B．Conclusion. C．Accumulation. D．Association.9. What’s the author’s attitude towards how we spend our daily lives?A．Favorable. B．Suspicious. C．Objective. D．Indifferent.10. What can we know from the text?A．Being a success leads one to happiness.B．Refusing negative feelings helps us obtain happiness.C．Going after happiness directly makes one feel happy.D．Pursuing one aspect of SPIRE can boost our well-being.11. Why is the sun mentioned in the last paragraph?A．To make a contrast. B．To make an analogy.C．To conclude the argumentation. D．To answer the previous question.You are what you eat — and what you eat may be encoded in your DNA. Studies have indicated that your genetics play a role in determining the foods you find delicious or disgusting. “Everything has a genetic component, even i f it’s small,” says Joanne Cole, a geneticist and a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “We know there is some genetic contribution to why we eat the foods we eat. Can we take the next step and actually show the exact position of the regions in the genome (染色体)?”A new research led by Cole has gotten a step closer. Through a large-scale genomics analysis, her team has identified 481 genome regions that were directly linked to dietary patterns and food preferences. The findings were p resented at the American Society for Nutrition’s annual flagship conference.They were based on a 2020 Nature Communications study by Col e and her colleagues that used data from the U. K. Biobank, a public database of the genetic and health information of 500,000 participants. By scanning genomes, the new analysis was able to home in on 194 regions associated with dietary patterns and 287 linked to specific foods such as fruit, cheese, fish, tea and alcohol.“This study had a huge number of subjects, so that’s really powerful,” says Monica Dus, an associate professor at the University of Michigan, who wasn’t a part of the new research but studies the relationship between genes and nutrition. “The other thing that I thought was really great is that they have so many different characteristics that they’re measuring in respect to diet. They had cholesterol, the body, socioeconomic backgrounds.”As the research advances, Dus says such genome analyses could possibly help health care providers — and even policymakers —address larger issues that affect food access and health. “Instead of trying to obsess over telling people to eat this or that, a more powerful intervention is to link it to making sure there aren’t ‘food deserts’ or to make sure that there’s a highe r minimum wage —things that have a broader impact,” she says.12. What is the purpose of Cole’s new research?A．To encode the role of DNA in determining food choices.B．To select genetic components tightly related to food consumption.C．To figure out the relationship between genetics and food preferences.D．To identify specific regions in the genome related to food preferences.13. What’s paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The process of the study. B．The findings of the study.C．The data-source of the study. D．The significance of the study.14. What does Monica Dus mean in the text?A．The subjects of the study are powerful.B．The research team studied many aspects linking to diet.C．The genome analyses have no prospect in the future.D．People’s wage should be raised because of “food deserts”.15. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A．What You Eat Impacts Your HealthB．What You Eat Forms Your Dietary PatternC．Your Genes May Determine Your Nutritional NeedD．Your Genes May Influence What You Like to EatHave you ever wondered what your pets want you to know? 16 . So let’s hear some inner voice coming from your beloved cats.I don’t like to shareSharing food or water bowls or a litter box can make cats anxious, according to veterinarian Katrina Warren. 17 . Does your cat still seem anxious? Provide your kitty with a place to have a rest, since cats appreciate high places and autonomy.18For a study in Animal Cognition in 2015, researchers set up an unfamiliar and slightly scary scene—an electric fan with ribbons attached. 19 . 79 percent of the cats looked back and forth between their person and the fan, indicating that they were trying to see whether the human was afraid. Half the owners were told to act confident and approach the fan, and the other half were told to act nervous and move away from it. The cats whose people seemed scared were significantly more likely to direct their gaze to the room’s exit.I hate being ignored“Cats will more frequently approach and p lay with a person who is attentive to them com-pared to a person who is ignoring them,” says Kristyn Vitale, PhD, a researcher in the Human-Animal Interaction Lab at Oregon State University. 20 . Vitale says if a cat is showing signs of aggression (widened pupils, a fast-twitching tail, fur standing on end, his-sing, or growling), just walk away. It’s better to end the interaction before an incident occurs that may lead to a strain in the relationship.Wang Jibing, a food delivery rider living and working in Kunshan, East China’s Jiangsu province.

Wang_______ three buildings and climbed 18 floors before he finally managed to deliver the food to the customer, who _______ scolded Wang for arriving late. Wang was sad and _______.

江苏省兴化中学2024届高三上学期10月月考英语试卷(含答案)
江苏省兴化中学2024届高三上学期10月月考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解This year, an unusual eight-day-long holiday will mark both the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. Here are the upcoming films designed to entertain audiences during the break.The Volunteers: To the WarThe V olunteers: To the War, directed by Chen Kaige, boasts an all-star cast, shows the sacrifices made by China’s People’s V olunteer Army during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953). Production took over a year and involved a monumental scale. No other film captures the National Day spirit quite like it. The film hits Chinese screens on Sept. 28.Under the LightThe crime drama Under the Light, directed by Zhang Yimou, also boasts an all-star cast. Zhang has described it as an exploration into fields he hasn’t dealt with before, characterizing it as urban, modern, and cool. The film will be released nationwide on Sept. 28.Lose to WinDirected by Gao Hu, Lose to Win is a Chinese remake of the 2018 Spanish film Champions, which is targeted toward audiences seeking lighthearted entertainment. The narrative centers on a conceited (自负的) basketball coach assigned to train a team of players with learning disabilities as part of his community service. Lose to Win opens across China on Sept. 28.Moscow MissionMoscow Mission, an explosive action film by Herman Yau, follows a cross-border manhunt, showing a horrible robbery and rape on a Moscow-bound train from Beijing. Inspired by true events from 1993, Yau has said how many of the scenes are nothing like he’s ever shot in his career previously as well as some he never imagined he’d film. Moscow Mission debuts in Chinese theaters on Sept. 29.1．Which film will most probably attract audiences on the National Day?A. The V olunteers: To the WarB. Under the LightC. Lose to WinD. Moscow Mission2．What do the films by Zhang Yimou and Herman Yau have in common?A. They have an all-star cast.B. They reflect the directors’ creativity.C. They are based on real life events.D. They are released on the same day.3．What is special about Lose to Win?A. It is a tragedy.B. It is about conceited basketball players.C. It is a new version.D. It takes five years to shoot.I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda, and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbo oks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.4．What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety?A. He drowned it in chocolate.B. He escaped into a fantasy world.C. He slept on the sofa leisurely.D. He conducted an experiment.5．What does the author mean by the underlined part in Paragraph 2?A. Reading novels was a waste of time.B. Reading a good book was time well spent.C. He was too busy to take good care of his books.D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.6．How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author?A. More sympathy went out to him.B. His moral values were strengthened.C. He learned much about religious diversity.D. He gained new insight into his academic discipline.7．What does the author think of the impact reading fiction books has on himself ?A. OverestimatedB. UnderestimatedC. FavourableD. TemporaryYou’re passed over for a job. Your back aches. Faced with difficulties large and small, you wonder if you’re an unlucky person. We turned to experts to understand why we believe in luck and how we can have that belief to make changes in our attitude towards life.Richard Wiseman, a psychology professor, doesn’t believe there’s anything magical about luck —it won’t help you or hurt you. “On the other hand, considering yourself lucky or unlucky is a way of seeing yourself, which has an impact on how you behave and how you think, and becomes a self-fulfilling antici pation,” he says. “So, in a sense, it absolutely does exist.”The sociology lecturer Vik Loveday interviewed academic employees who were on temporary contracts, an uncertain situation that caused anxiety. In general, when one of these academics learned about good news concerning their careers, such as getting a permanent job, they would attribute it to luck. Because they felt they had so little control, a move in a positive direction happened almost by accident, rather than as the result of hard work.In a 2021 study, Professor Woolley has looked at this idea in children and adulthood. For example, basketball player Michael Jordan would wear his college practice shorts under his National Basketball Association uniform for good luck. “Obviously, it’s that the superstitious (迷信的) custom gives him confidence and then he plays better,” Woolley says.Is it possible to change your attitude towards luck to get better outcomes? Wiseman believes some steps can improve your luck. He has found “lucky people not only max imize opportunities and know where they’re heading, but often they change course depending on how the wind is going”. Lucky people can also transform bad experiences to good.Specifically, you can shift your focus towards the positive by keeping a “luck diary”. Also don’t be a creature of habit. Watch a different TV program, speak to different people — even small shifts can be effective.8．What does Wiseman say about luck in paragraph 2?A. It might be wise to try one’s luck.B. Luck is a magical force to control us.C. The belief in luck influences our behavior.D. People’s well-being is determined by luck.9．What is the example of Jordan’s lucky shorts used for?A. Confirming Loveday’s study.B. Showing luck exists in real life.C. Disapproving Woolley’s r esearch.D. Comparing different lucks in sports.10．How can we improve our luck according to the last paragraph?A. Getting into a routine.B. Sticking to a goal firmly.C. Setting down terrible things.D. Making changes flexibly.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Less Anxiety, More LuckB. Good or Bad Luck? Up to YouC. One Can Stay Lucky Through LifeD. Genius — the Mother of Good LuckWhile Huawei’s official website does not call Mate 60 Pro a 5G smartphone, the phone’s wideband capabilities are on par with other 5G smartphones, raising a related question: As a leader in 5G technology, has Huawei managed to develop a 5G smartphone on its own?The answer is not simple. Huawei, as a pioneer in global 5G communication equipment, has played a leading role in the commercialization of 5G technology, with its strong system design and fields such as baseband chips (基带芯片), baseband processors and 5G modems.However, basebands and modems are not the only aspects that define 5G wireless communication. The stability and high-quality signals of a 5G smartphone also depend on other critical components such as RF transceivers (射频收发器) and RF front ends and antennas (天线) . These components are largely dominated by four US high-tech giants—Qualcomm, Avago Technologies, Ansem and Qorvo—which account for a surprising global market share.Huawei has faced significant challenges in getting critical components because of the sanctions imposed by the United States which are primarily responsible for the inability of the Chinese company to launch 5G smartphones in the past three years. However, Mate 60 Pro, despite not being labeled a 5G device, exhibits mobile network speeds comparable to Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices, offering a stable communication experience. This suggests Huawei has, over the past three years, overcome the 5G development and production limits due to the US sanctions by cooperating with domestic partners, and establishing an independent and controllable stable supply chain.Considering that Huawei has not explicitly marketed this device as a 5G smartphone, it is possible that it is yet to fully overcome some key core technological and componential shortcomings. For the time being, we can consider Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro as 4.99G. But when combined with the satellite communication capabilities of Mate 60 Pro, it is clear Huawei has been trying to find more advanced wireless communication solutions for smartphones and making significant progress in this attempt. This should be recognized as a remarkable endeavor, even a breakthrough.12．What do the underlined words “on par with” mean in Paragraph 1?A. as poor as.B. as good as.C. worse than.D. better than.13．Why was it tough for Huawei to develop a 5G smartphone three years ago?A. Its system design and fields needed to be updated.B. It only focused on the commercialization of 5G technology.C. It was unwilling to cooperate with high-tech giants in America.D. It lacked critical components mainly controlled by US high-tech giants.14．What does Paragraph 4 centre on?A. The US sanctions.B. Critical components.C. Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices.D. Progress in Mate 60 Pro.15．What is the text mainly about?A. Huawei faced with significant challengesB. Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro—a 5G smartphoneC. Huaw ei’s Mate 60 Pro—a remarkable breakthroughD. Huawei leading in global 5G communication equipment二、七选五16．Professor Zhu Yunxia, an award-winning researcher and educator at the University of Queensland and has an international reputation in cross-cultural management and strategy,believes that anyone can learn to overcome cultural barriers with the right approach. She offers the following suggestions.Be prepared for surprises.One country might contain different cultures—China, for example, is composed of 56 ethnic groups—and within these, people may act in different ways in different contexts and with different groups of people. ①_________②_________While speaking the language is not necessary to understand the culture, it is important to know basic greetings and courtesies (客气话) for social interaction such as “hello” and “thank you”. These everyday phrases and rituals (礼节) are entry points which allow you to access the culture. People will also appreciate that you have made the effort.Learn to “make strange”.In day-to-day life, we tend to take many of our own customs and behaviors for granted without recognizing that these might appear odd from others’ point of view. ③_________ Use a “cultural bridge”.The customs of another culture can be too strange or too foreign to understand. ④_________ “Cultural bridges” are people whose knowledge enriches our own and who can help us understand what’s going on. Having arrived a s a Chinese student, Dr. Zhu has spent over 20 years in Australia but still sometimes seeks a second opinion from her daughter who was brought up here and occasionally calls up old friends for advice in China.Don’t focus on yourself.⑤_________ Instead of giving in to thoughts such as “I’m a stranger in a foreign land” or “Nobody talks to me”, try to forget yourself and focus on others. By taking a more positive approach, you can even find ways to use cultural differences to your advantage.A. Learn the“cultural grammar”.B. Consequently, wait for the unexpected.C. Develop and expand cooperative awareness.D. Sometimes an “insider” can help us to bridge the gap.E. Be open-minded and always try to aim for a win-win situation.F. Being too self-conscious can harm your ability to interact and learn.G. Learn to look at situations with fresh eyes, starting with our own culture.三、完形填空（15空）Julia, a 27-year-old TikTok user from Chicago, has been making dresses that hergrandmother designed at fashion school to share on the platform.According to Julia, her grandma, Georgie, went to fashion school in the 1940s and dreamed of being a fashion designer, but 1 before completing her studies because she needed to 2 some sick family members.One day in 2021, when Julia was visiting her grandma, 3 old sketches (草图) of dresses that Georgie designed when she was a teenager, she thought they were 4 .“I knew my grandma was 5 , but these are really much better than what I was 6 in my head.

They seem to have mastered the basic language structure(结构), but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid that other people mightfind out their mistakes.It's uncommon that many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to organize their idea in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and confidence (自信).Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those foreigners with whom you are speaking? Don't be shy, they will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of trouble is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that constant practice will help you succeed.（）61. What's the best topic for the passage?A.

I was young and strong and I had been to most parts of the world and I spent one fifth of my time in the trains or planes. I liked such a life and sometimes I called myself “traveler”.But one day I got into trouble. It was a cold morning. It blew heavily and the ground was covered with thick snow outside. I was still in bed though it was nine. I finished a long journey the day before and decided to have a good rest. Suddenly the telephone rang and my manager told me to fly to New York to take part in an important meeting. I had to get up and after a quick breakfast I hurried to the airport. The taxi went slowly and I missed the first flight. I had to take the next one. It meant I would wait for nearly five hours in the waiting-room. But five hours later a passenger said the information showed there was a bomb in our plane and the policemen were looking for it. And another five hours passed and most passengers lost their patience before we were allowed to get on the plane. At the entrance each passenger and their baggage had to be examined.

As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling west, today becomes tomorrow, traveling east, it is yesterday.（）71.
