2022-2023学年浙江省金华十校高三第二次模拟考试英语试卷（4月）一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）ASSI Advanced Adventurer Course•2 sessions of 8h•The AAC starts on every Wednesday and Saturday, lasting 2 days•Fees: $450Exploration, Excitement, ExperiencesThat's what the Advanced Adventurer course is all about. You don't have to be "advanced" to take it— it's designed to advance your diving, so you can start right after earning your Open Water Diver certification. The course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives.Who should take this course?Open Water Divers who are at least 12 years old are ready to step up and sign up for an Advanced Adventurer course. Divers under 18 may only participate in certain Adventures Dives—check with your SSI Instructor.What will you learn?You'll plan your learning path with your instructor by choosing from a long list of Adventure Dives. There are two required dives—Deep and Underwater Navigation—and you choose the other three. During the Deep Adventure Dive, you learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving. The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive helps improve your navigation skills. The other knowledge and skills you get vary with your interest and the adventures you have—photography, fish identification, exploring wrecks and many more.What scuba equipment will you use?Beyond basic scuba equipment, you'll need a compass and a dive knife. You may also use specialized equipment depending on the Adventure Dives you choose. Your SSI Instructor will explain the equipment that you need and may suggest additional equipment.1. On which of the following dates can you take the course?A. From Friday to Saturday.B. From Saturday to Sunday.C. From Tuesday to Wednesday.D. From Wednesday to Saturday.2. How many dives can you learn during the course?A. 2.B. 3.C. 5.D. 7.3. Which of the following is a must to take the SSI Advanced Adventurer Course?A. Reaching adulthood.B. Specialized diving equipment.C. Advanced scuba skills.D. Open Water Diver certification.BThey said it couldn't be done. They said he was crazy. They said he would never make it.But Duane Hansen and his beautiful pumpkin, which he named Berta, proved them all wrong. Like Cinderella's fairy godmother, this Nebraska man proved that you really can turn a pumpkin into a functional vehicle—in this case, a seaworthy vessel(船).Yes, you read that right. Hansen wanted to celebrate his 60th birthday by hollowing out his prized 846-pound pumpkin and sailing down the Missouri River inside it. Not only did Hansen enjoy a pumpkin sail on his special day, but his 38-mile journey also landed him a world record! In case you wondered, the previous world record for the longest sail in a pumpkin was 25 miles, set by a North Dakota man in 2018.It wasn't an easy journey. Growing a pumpkin big enough to use as a boat is already a challenge. Then, there was his chosen waterway. The city of Bellevue, Nebraska, posted a photogragh of Hansen on the water that offers a reminder of just how big the Missouri River is."He has always said that you can do anything you want and I'm just so proud," Hansen's daughter Morgan Buchholz said.Hansen reportedly spent nearly a decade trying to grow a pumpkin big enough to work as a sailing vessel. He was inspired to begin his mission after meeting a woman who had previously won "the Biggest Pumpkin Competition". He asked her many questions about her experience.As for his pumpkin-sailing future, "I'm done with this." Hansen said that the voyage made his knees ache. The wake(尾流) from boats was rough, and when they passed, he said he had to stop everything andjust hang on. "If somebody breaks this record, I will, like, bow down to them because they are tough," he said.4. Why did Hansen go on a pumpkin journey?A. To observe his birthday.B. To show his prized pumpkin.C. To break a world record.D. To prove pumpkin could be a vessel.5. What did Hansen do to make his journey possible?A. He chose a calm waterway.B. He talked with the previous record holder.C. He convinced his family to support his plan.D. He worked a long time to grow the pumpkin.6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. His knees got seriously injured in the sailing.B. His vessel tured over in the wake from boats.C. Hansen will respect whoever breaks his record.D. Hansen will continue the pumpkin-sailing in future.7. What does Hansen's story tell us?A. It is never too old to learn.B. Time and tide wait for no man.C. Where there's a will, there's a way.D. Fear always springs from ignoranceCAs the climate crisis speeds up, Europe is warming faster than any other region, according to a new State of the Climate in Europe report from the World Meteorological Organization.The WMO report comes ahead of the UN's international climate summit in Egypt, and is one in a series of reports over the past several weeks that show how the world is off-track on its climate goals. Notonly are countries missing the mark on their efforts to reduce planet-warming fossil fuel emissions(排放物), but measurements show temperatures are already skyrocketing.Some continents are feeling that rise more than others. Wednesday's report shows temperatures in Europe have increased at more than twice the global average over the past 30 years—at a rate of about 0.5 degrees Celsius per decade.Recent reports show how the region's temperature rise is fueling extreme weather.Year-to-date through July, the number of wildfires in the EU was four times the 15-year average. A deadly, record-breaking heatwave in the UK harmed public health and bent infrastructure (基础设施). Exceptional drought troubled the continent this summer, drying up some of the world's most economically important rivers. And that drought that came on the heels of some of the most destructive floods Europe has ever seen."Europe presents a live picture of a warming world and reminds us that even well-prepared societies are not safe from impacts of extreme weather events," said WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas in a forward on the report."European society is vulnerable(易受伤害的) to climate variability and change, but Europe is also at the forefront of the international effort to address climate change and to develop innovative solutions to adapt to the new climate. Europeans will have to live with," Carlo Buontempo, director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, said in a statement.Taalas said in his forward that although Europe's pace on cutting planet-warming emissions has been "good", their ambition on this front "should be further increased".8. What can we learn about the world's climate goals from the WMO report?A. They are unrealistic.B. They are easy to reach.C. They are taken seriously.D. They are far from being achieved.9. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A. The economic losses in Europe.B. The causes of the climate crisis in Europe.C. The increase of extreme weather in Europe.D. The most destructive natural disaster in Europe.10. What is Buontempo's attitude towards Europe's effort to fight climate change?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Unclear.D. Intolerant.11. What should Europe do to further cut emissions according to Taalas?A. Take the lead.B. Set a higher goal.C. Make better preparations.D. Carry on their good work.DU.S. teens spend more than eight hours a day on screens, and there's growing concern over how social media may affect their mental health. Now, a new study has found that limiting screen time to about one hour a day helped anxious teens feel better about their body image and their appearance.The study arose from the personal experience of Helen Thai, a doctoral student in psychology at MeGill University. "What I noticed when I was engaging in social media was that I couldn't help but compare myself," Thai says. She was well aware that social media posts often feature polished, airbrushed or filtered images that can alter(改变) appearances in an unrealistic way, but it still affected her negatively.So, Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether cutting time on social media platforms including Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat would improve body image. They recruited a few hundred volunteers, all of whom had experienced symptoms of anxiety or depression, which could make them vulnerable to the effects of social media. Half of the participants were asked to reduce their social media to 60 minutes a day for three weeks while the other half continued to use social media with no restrictions, which averaged about three hours per day.The researchers gave the participants surveys at the beginning and end of the study, which included statements such as "I'm pretty happy about the way I look," and "I am satisfied with my weight." Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a5-point scale. This may seem like a small change, but any shift in such a short period of time is striking, the authors say."The study is encouraging, but it only included people who had symptoms of anxiety or depression. It's worth evaluating this approach with other groups, such as people with or at risk of eating disorders. It's also possible that the benefits of cutting back could extend more broadly to anyone in this age group," says Psychologist Andrea Graham, co-director of the Center for Behavioral Intervention at Northwestern University.12. What problem may social media bring to teenagers according to Thai?A. They may become addicted to the Internet.B. They tend to become sensitive to others' comments.C. They may have unrealistic expectations of their image.D. They tend to compare themselves with the images posted online.13. What can we learn about the participants during the study?A. They scored their appearance twice.B. Half of them stopped using social media.C. They hoped to improve their body image.D. Most of them showed dissatisfaction with their weight.14. What did Graham think of the study?A. It was a good try but had limitations.B. It was well designed but poorly conducted.C. It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.D. It was encouraging but the evidence was unreliable.15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Shorter Screen Time, Better Feelings on LookB. How to Help Teenagers Limit Screen timeC. How Social Media Changes TeenagersD. Less Anxiety, Better Image二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Any time of the day you can commit to exercising is a good time for getting active. However, the best time for exercise is different for each person. (1)Determine when you have the most energy. Do you struggle to get out of the bed in the morning or do you wake up energized and ready to go? Are you a night owl and never get to bed before midnight? Once you establish what your sleep tendencies are, you will have a better idea of when your body is most ready to exercise. (2) You are more likely to hit the snooze button instead of getting a workout in.Consider your daily schedule. When are you the busiest? (3) Try to fit in exercise before or at least around these events. Some people would prefer to get it out of the way first thing, while others prefer to put it off until the end of the day when they are all caught up.Determine your exercise goals. If you are trying to develop a routine, you may want to exercise in the morning. People who exercise in the morning are more consistent. (4) If you are trying to improve your performance, evening exercise may be best. You may experience less tiredness, quicker reaction times, and more strength and flexibility in the evening. If you are trying to lose weight, you may want to exercise in the morning before you have eaten when your body is more likely to use fat instead of carbohydrates for energy.(5) This way, you'll see how you feel and find the time that works best with your schedule. Keep an exercise log to help you evaluate each time.A.This will give your body time to relax.B.Do you perform better in the morning or at night?C.You may not feel like exercising after a long day of work.D.When do you tend to schedule your most important tasks?E.Consider your lifestyle and exercise goals to find the right time.F.If you're not a morning person, do not schedule an early morning workout.G.Anyway, you'd better experiment with both morning and evening workouts.16.

A Are you looking for something to do? You might like to try one of these four experiences.Crocodile watching Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the “Cage of Death”. It’s an enclosure th at’s lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as it’s being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they’ve fixed it since then. EdgeWalk How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall. The EdgeWalk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the tower’s restaurant roof. During the walk, you’re encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto’s skyline(轮廓线).Plastic ball rollingDo you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball? Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb (球) is about 3 meters in diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 meters. There’s no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock.Volcano bungee jumping If you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarrica volcano, one of the most active in Chile. Once you ’re at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally, you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph.Attracted by the above? If so, please contact us. Only half price from March 22 to April 25th For more information, please click here.1. According to the passage, there was an accident o nce when people _____.A. jumped into the Villarrica volcanoB. walked along the platform of the CN TowerC. rolled down a hill in a plastic ball in RotoruaD. watched crocodiles in the “Cage of Death” in Darwin2. Which of the following was first invented in New Zealand?A. EdgeWalk.B. Crocodile watching.C. Plastic ball rolling.D. Volcano bungee jumping.3. It can be inferred that all the four experiences are ______.A. interesting sportsB. exciting and extremeC. held on high placesD. fit for middle to old peopleBIf you want a little extra security against thieves stealing your bicycle, designer Dennis Siegel has designed a solution. The RFID Bikealarm is attached to the seat on a bicycle and gives off an alarm when it senses movement.“The RFID Bikealarm is meant to be a useful add-on to mechanical bicycle locks because it greatly extends the range of protection with only a few components,” Siegel explains on his website. “It is low-cost, durable and easy to use.”The Bikealarm was designed as part of Siegel’s Bachelor’s degreethesis at the University of the Arts Bremen in Germany. The device will scare off any would-be thieves the moment they begin to steal the bicycle to which it is attached. It is able to continuously sense the environment to distinguish between specific events, for instance a passing tram / car and a serious theft.Siegel created a working model of an alarm that would sound when it sensed movement, but wasn’t initially sure how it would be best attached to a bicycle. “I decided to mount it to the rails of the seat because it allows for comfortable interaction and the position is less obvious as it looks like a small repair kit,” he says.Siegel chose to use RFID technology rather than Bluetooth to keep the costs down. Siegel explains that the most difficult aspect of creating the alarm was to get the electronic circuit down to a small enough size.The device runs off a kind of battery that can be charged by USB within 2 hours and lasts for a few days with normal use. As the Bikealarm is only at development stage, Siegel hasn’t signed any agreements to put it on the market.4. When it senses movement, the RFID Bikealarm will _____.A. make a warning soundB. fasten the bicycle tightlyC. shake the bicycle quicklyD. call the police automatically5. Which of the following shows the right position of the RFID Bikealarm on a bicycle?6. What do we know about the RFID Bikealarm? A. It can’t tell between specif ic events. B. It is very difficult to use. C. It uses a kind of battery for power. D. It depends on Bluetooth technology.7. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that ______. A. the electronic circuit is a little larger B. i t’s very easy to make a Bikealarm C. it costs too much at present D. not many Bikealarms are producedC One afternoon, after finishing shopping in a supermarket, my family and I went to the checkout. I suddenly thought we didn’t need any of the junk, and we abandoned all of those, saving $300. That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life. With a promise that we’d stop if it was killing us, I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality(节俭). The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolutely essentials. Our adventure began with a great start. By 9 a.m., my wife, Ruth, had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn’t even know we had in the garden. I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years. I read and returned the neighbor’s newspaper before he woke up. Total spending on the first day: $0.As days turned into weeks, we became so proficient （熟练的）at living frugally. We started riding our bikes to save gas. My child’s fingerpainting was recycled as gift wrap for the homemade presents. We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs.In the end, we saved more than $2000 by not spending for a month. When we began, I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buya lot of things in the supermarket, then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies. 8. We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon, the family _________.A. had had higher incomeB. had had a good habit of saving moneyC. had often spent money without thinking muchD. hadn’t realized they would have met financial problems9. How many things were mentioned about the things the family did to save on the first day of the “30 days”?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five10. The end of the story tells the readers that the family _________.A. stopped halfwayB. couldn’t stand the life of frugalityC. would make up for missing the junk after the “30 days”D. succeeded in saving in the end11. This passage is mainly about _________.A. how a family managed their daily lifeB. a family’s no-buying tryC. a family’s way of solving life problemsD. how a new idea came upDNot all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of t he Atlantic.When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot restTo the east must thunder on Where the bright tree of the sun Is rooted in the ocean’s breast.As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise-it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath-perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.12. Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is __________.A. always energeticB. lacking in livelinessC. shaped like a squareD. favored by ancient poets13. What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?A. To describe the movement of the waves.B. To show the strength of the storm.C. To represent the power of the ocean.D. To prove the vastness of the sea.14. What doe s the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?A. Living together.B. Growing fast.C. Moving harmoniously.D. Breathing peacefully.15. In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to __________.A. a beautiful and poetic placeB. a flesh and blood personC. a wonderful worldD. a lovely animal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。

grammatically correct.DNA analysis reveals two waves of migrationThe results of the study,published in the Science Bulletin,revealed two major migration waves in history.In this pioneering study,scientists from Fudan University(21)______(dig)into the ancient DNA of individuals buried in Gansu province,revealing interesting insights into the genetic makeup of Hexi Corridor residents dating back over12centuries.The research employed ancient DNA data(22)______(explore)human migration along the Hexi Corridor.The Hexi Corridor,was a narrow yet crucial link(23)______(connect)the heartland of ancient China to the Western Territory.Characterized by its lofty mountains and deserts,the ancient pathway was dotted with cities(24)______(found)along short rivers.Historical documents attest(证实)to the Hexi Corridor’s significance as a crossroads (25)______Western and Eastern civilizations mixed through trade,religion and occasional conflicts following the establishment of the Silk Road during the Han Dynasty.(26)______technological advances in biology open new avenues for exploration, archaeologists are increasingly drawn to analyzing DNA samples.Led by Wen Shaoqing from Fudan University’s Institute of Archaeological Science,the team successfully extracted DNA data (27)______the teeth and bones found at two sites near Dunhuang.The DNA analysis pinpointed two outliers(异常样本)dating to the Wei Dynasty and the Tang.Further examination revealed one had approximately50percent western Eurasian ancestry and(28)____________30percent,suggesting the individuals were likely descendants of unions between western Eurasian women and local men.(29)______the team concluded was that the genetic mix could be partially attributed to those migrations.Experts said the second major migration period(30)______(mark)by a significant shift in the gene pool.Historical records say migration facilitated by Chinese explorer Zhang Qian’s visit to the Western Territory from138BC resulted in the creation of the Silk Road.Section BDirections:After reading the passage below,fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.Will AI allow humans to play a part?Rebecca used to have a regular job,translating a fashion brand’s website into German.One day a big change happened.The company(31)______to using machine translation.She kept the job,and it still paid the bills;however,she was now there to check and(32)______whatever was produced by the computer.But there was a complaint.“What it meant,(33)______,was that we humans were training a machine,”she says.Each corrected caption for a mid-priced T-shirt,each pair of skinny jeans,was a data point for the robot that was going to replace her.With the(34)______of chat programs that can imitate humans,the world is now beginning to consider what the coming of artificial intelligence means.What will it do for our jobs if many once(35)______professions—law,accountancy,medicine—disappear?What does it mean to be a human when the thing that humans most(36)______—intelligence—has become the cheapest product on the planet?Translators,for good and ill, don’t have to wonder.“You can take the world of translators and interpreters as a(37)______of the world,”says Nicki Bone,chairwoman of the board of the Institute of Translating and Interpreting.Not all of them are adjusting.“Of course,we have our(38)______,”but she adds,“There are also opportunities,and optimists.”The speed of change,though,has been(39)______.Increasingly,says Bone,she and her colleagues are acting as editors of a machine’s first pass,rather than translators of the raw material.For some,that’s fine.“People will say,‘OK,instead of working at one rate for this number of words per hour,I’m working at many more words per hour,but for a much lower rate.’Some are happy to take on.Some won’t,as a matter of principle.”As we are(40)______at ChatGPT and its great ability to imitate human writing,translators are,compared with the rest of the professions,sensitive.Anyway,this technology is here to stay.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Sandhya Sriram is impatient.The stem-cell(干细胞)scientist wanted to put her knowledge to use,developing cultivated seafood.Yet no one was doing that in Singapore.So four years ago, she set up a company to create lab-grown crustacean(甲壳纲动物)meat.(41)______,she registered her company,Shiok Meats in August2018.“Nobody was doing crustaceans,”says Sriram,Shiok’s Group CEO and co-founder.“What do Asians eat the most?Seafood.It was a simple answer.And they’re so delicious.”A lifelong(42)______,she had never tried real shrimp, but she sampled it the week she registered the company.Today,the results of her(43)______can be seen at the headquarters of her company.During a fall2022visit,a bioprocess engineer looked into a microscope carefully.He had taken samples from a bioreactor in the room next door,where the company is(44)______crustacean cells. Under the lens,he was checking to see if the cells were ready to harvest.Shiok Meats has already revealed shrimp,lobster,and crab prototypes(最初形态)to a select group of tasters,and it plans to(45)______regulatory approval to sell its lab-grown shrimp by April2023.That could make it the first in the world to bring cultivated shrimp to diners,putting it at the leading position of the cultivated-meat(46)______.As of this writing,only one company has gained regulatory approval to sell lab-grown animal-protein products:Eat Jus’s cultured chicken is(47)______but only in Singapore.Shiok Meats still needs to submit all the paperwork necessary and get regulatory approval,but the company hopes to see its products in restaurants by mid-2024,offering foodies a more environmentally friendly option free of(48)______than crustaceans from farms.But even if that ambitious(49)______is met,it will likely be a while before the average person is eating cultivated crustaceans.It will require not just regulatory approval but also more funding and a bigger factory,along with(50)______consumers and governments around the world to accept lab-grown seafood.“We’re at an interesting stage of a startup;it’s called the Valley of Death,”says Sriram.“We are in the space where we haven’t submitted for regulatory approval yet,but we’re looking to commercialize in the next two years.”Nevertheless,the impatient entrepreneur is(51)______. Sriram hopes to have the company’s next manufacturing plant ready by the end of2023,where a 500-liter and a2,000-liter bioreactor will be a major(52)______from its current50-and200-liter bioreactors.The goal is for her products to enter the mainstream in Singapore in five to seven years.(53)______these products could help tackle some of the environmental impacts of crustacean anic waste,chemicals,and antibiotics from seafood farms can pollutegroundwater.Shiok Meats says the way it produces crustacean meat minimizes animal cruelty,as growing protein in a lab helps avoid(54)______animals.And cultivating shrimp closer to where it’s(55)______cuts emissions from fishing-boat fuel and shipping products around the world.In a word,when science meets seafood,many wonderful things happen naturally.41.

A.captured B.stranded C.consumed D.produced Section BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)There is no known date for when the ancient Greeks or Romans first shared their stories about gods,monsters and heroes.But for the modern myth known as Star Wars,that date is May 25,1977,when the original movie opened in theaters and kicked off a global phenomenon that spanned films,TV shows,novels,comic books,toys,lunchboxes,bed sheets and more.Even today,Star Wars remains an enduring touchstone(检验标准)of pop culture.Critically praised or not,the movies continue to be a big hit.And just as we know when the mythology began,we also know who invented it: writer-director George Lucas.His inspiration,he told TIME in1977,was“all the books and films and comics that I liked when I was a child…My main reason for making it was to give young people an honest,wholesome fantasy life,the kind my generation had.”No one could predict just how much Lucas’creation would catch on—not even Lucas himself or the film’s star Mark Hamill,who played young hero Luke Skywalker.“I had no idea itwould be as successful as it was,”Hamill said in2017,marking the original film’s40th anniversary.“I just thought I would be a fan of this even if I weren’t involved.”Before Lucas created Star Wars,he had an even more ambitious goal—to blow up the ways of Old Hollywood.And he did.Star Wars introduced a new era of moviemaking,one that saw the development of amazing special effects and the tools to achieve them.After this legend, filmmakers felt free to bring their wildest ideas to life in totally realistic ways that left audiences thrilled.Why did Star Wars become such a powerful force?Hamill credits its ability to satisfy the human need for escapism.“People value the idea of going away to some happy place,”he said,“whether it’s Oz or Narnia or Middle Earth or Hogwarts.I think it appeals to children of all ages. It doesn’t matter if you’re6or60.It appeals to the optimistic young idealism that I think every person has,however buried it might be.”56.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.People should keep digging into the history of ancient myths.B.More products associated with Star Wars have been created.C.Some people’s criticism of Star Wars made it less popular than before.D.Star Wars is more successful in the business field than in the entertainment field.57.Why did George Lucas invent Star Wars?A.To break the old rules and traditions of making films.B.To appeal to the optimistic young men to pursue their dreams.C.To encourage other filmmakers to bring their wild ideas to life.D.To offer young people an as good and healthy fantasy life as he had.58.Star Wars can have such a great influence mainly because______.A.it meets people’s pursuit for a place to escapeB.it symbolizes the beginning of the modern mythC.the special effects offer amazing viewing experienceD.the main actors in this film are very popular among the public59.This passage is written to_____________.A.inspire people to be optimistic and idealB.introduce the basic information about Star WarsC.recommend the talented writer-director George LucasD.criticize the fact that Star Wars is not as well made as before(B)Looking for a career change?Check out these unconventional options! The Waterslide TesterWhen the pool where he worked as a lifeguard was closed during the COVID-19pandemic, Guillaume Pop took jobs at various other pools that were virtually deserted.In one video on the social platform,he pretended to be a“professional waterslide tester”.Unexpectedly,Pop became a social media sensation.He was then hired to“test”slides and other facilities at water parks and swimming pools all over France.“It’s the best job in the world,”declares Pop,whose videos have received80million views.“I’m not behind a desk.I’m active and outside in the sun.In fact,all the children tell me they want to be a waterslide tester!”The Reindeer HerderFinnish Lapland is home to around200,000wild reindeer.Anne Ollila,one of the4,000 owners of these animals,works in this harsh but beautiful region with her big family.She gave up her job as a sociology researcher in2010to devote herself to reindeer herding full time.In summer,Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to12miles a night through marsh and forest, enduring all kinds of insects.In deepest winter there is little daylight.Grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection.“Life here isn’t easy but it’s how nature works,”says Ollila,“I love the environment,the animals and the freedom.Also,I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me,to the chain of life through the generations.”The Zombie TrainerStevie Douglas,a52-year-old Scot,has taught people how to behave like all varieties of the undead.A big fan of horror movies,Douglas noticed the zombies he saw in films were often unconvincing.“Their movement was poor and I thought I could do better.”So,in2012,he formed ScareScotland to provide zombies for films and events such as horror conventions.A year later they started a zombie training program,which took off when they received a request for300 zombies for a three-week-long interactive production.“What we do is very specific.”says Douglas.Many people enjoy being frightened,and he’s happy to oblige them.60.What do the three people introduced in the passage above have in common?A.Their jobs are dangerous,unstable and low-paid.B.Their jobs are well received throughout the world.C.They have great passion and pride in what they do.D.They need professional qualifications to do their job.61.What does Guillaume Pop like most about his job?A.It has a sense of freedom.B.It is full of vigor and energy.C.It is what he has been doing for decades.D.It satisfies people’s wishes to be frightened.62.Who is most probably interested in this passage?A.Employees who are considering switching jobs.B.Students who are applying for ideal universities.C.Children who are interested in unusual activities.D.Graduates who are deciding on their essay topics.(C)The phrase“coin toss”is a classic equivalent to randomness.But since atleast the18th century,mathematicians have suspected that even fair coins tendto land on one side slightly more often than the other.Proving this tiny bias(偏见),however,would require hundreds of thousands of carefully recordedcoin tosses,making laboratory tests a nightmare.František Bartoš,currently a Ph.D.candidate at the University of Amsterdam,became fascinated by this challenge four years ago.He couldn’t round up enough volunteers to investigate it at first.“Nobody was stupid enough to spend a couple of weekends tossing coins,”he says.But after he began his Ph.D.studies,he tried again,recruiting47volunteers(many of them friends and fellow students)from six countries.Multiple weekends of coin tossing later,the team had performed350,757tosses,breaking the previous record of40,000.The tossed coins,according to previous findings,landed with the same side facing upward as before the toss50.8percent of the time.The large number of throws allows statisticians to conclude that the nearly one percent bias isn’t a fluke.“We can be quite sure there is a bias in coin tosses after this data set,”Bartošsays.The leading theory explaining the subtle advantage comes from a2007physics study by statistician Persi Diaconis and his colleagues,whose calculations predicted a same-side bias of 51percent.From the moment a coin is launched into the air,its entire path in the air—including whether it lands on heads or tails—can be calculated by the laws of mechanics.The researchersdetermined that coins in the air barely turn around their symmetrical axis(对称轴);instead they tend to move off-center unsteadily,which causes them to spend a little more time in the air with their initial“up”side on top.For day-to-day decisions,coin tosses are as good as random because a one percent bias isn’t perceptible with just a few coin tosses,says another statistician who wasn’t involved in the new research.Still,the study’s conclusions should eliminate any doubt that still exists regarding the coin toss’s slim bias.It isn’t difficult to prevent this bias from influencing your coin-toss matches;simply concealing the coin’s starting position before tossing it should do the trick.Alternatively,you can do away with tossing altogether by shaking the coin between your palms.But if your friends are unaware of the tiny bias,you may as well benefit from your slight advantage.After all,51percent odds beat a lot.63.Why was it difficult to prove the tiny bias in coin tosses?A.Because it required a large number of trials and loads of tests.B.Because few scientists and researchers were interested in this topic.C.Because scientists lacked the ability and technique to conduct this study.D.Because previous researches failed many times and scientists lost confidence.64.The meaning of the underlined word fluke in paragraph3most probably refers to somethingthat____________.A.happens by accidentB.can be planned in advanceC.occurs under specific conditionsD.can be gained by practice65.What can we imply from the last paragraph?A.This one percent bias matters little in real life.B.We should rely on this one percent bias to help us.C.Though unnoticeable,we may still take advantage of this bias.D.Relying on the one percent bias to win a

Thanks to information online,young consumers no longer blindly pursue foreign brands and instead prefer local brands,highlighting their confidence in Chinese-made products.From Li-Ning, Anta to Warrior shoes,domestic brands in various fields are being warmly welcomed by youngconsumers.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.The ingredients of loveIn modern times,finding love seems more central to people’s lives.Then,researchers wonder, can love,a highly valued emotional state,be created?To help determine the ingredients of attraction,one research paired164college classmates and had them talk for3,6or10minutes to get a sense of each other’s individuality.Then students were asked to predict what kind of relationship they might build with their partners.After nine weeks,they reported what happened.Reports showed their initial judgments often held true.All these students seemed to distinguish at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction.Many animals give off pheromones—natural chemicals that can be detected by,and then can produce a response in,other animals of the same species.Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling open to partnerships.In contrast,humans do not seem to be as gifted as other animals at detecting such chemicals.Smell,however,does seem to play a part in human attraction.Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously,we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors,including seeing something we find attractive.Researchers had people judge faces for attractiveness.The participants had0.013 seconds to view each face,yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces.The way we assess attractiveness seems to be somewhat automatic.When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations,people responded to positive words faster after viewing an attractive face.Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.中国文化产业充当着文化交流的桥梁。

AYesterday mother and I were watching for a cab in the rainy street without an umbrella when an old gentleman sheltering under an umbrella approached us to ask a favor.“I’ve forgotten my wallet. You see, old people like me often become terribly forgetful…”Mother suspiciously looked at him, a well-dressed and well-spoken man. “Are you asking me to give you money? Do hurry up. We’re getting soaked to the skin here.”“And that is why I’m offering you this umbrella of mine, and to keep foreve r, if only…”“If only what?”“If only yo u could give me in return a pound for my taxi-fare just to get me home.”“Then how did you get here?”“I walked.”“Why don’t you walk home now?”“Oh, I wish I could, but I couldn’t manage it on these silly old legs. I’ve gone too far away.”Mother began to melt. The idea of getting an umbrella to shelter must have tempted her a good deal. But she didn’t want to take advantage of a tired old man in this way. So mother simply gave him the fare but he insisted we take the umbrella. Then the transaction was made and everyone was happy.As mother was proudly explaining the importance of correctly judging people, I noticed that the old man quickly crossed the street a nd was hurrying away, not looking tired!Mother was unhappy. So we followed him as he rushed until we eventually found him at a pub where he ordered a glass of whisky with the pound and swallowed in one go! Then he collected his coat and hat. Just before he left, he smoothly took a wet umbrella from the coat rack (衣帽架). Then he headed back to the main street and sold the umbrella to another unsuspecting person.21.

Because she liked him and would like to talk more with him.D. Because she wanted to satisfy herself that he was telling the truth.22. What did the old man really do with the money at last?A. He kept it to himself.B. He took a taxi with it.C. He spent it on alcohol.D. He bought another umbrella with it.23. Which word may best describe the old man?A. Stupid.B. Tricky.C. Pitiful.D.

Kindness is the sunshine of social life.BHave you ever fancied sailing around the world or buying a holiday home in the Caribbean? Well, before you get too excited, it may help to find out if you have what it takes to become a billionaire.We’ve all heard stories of school drop-outs who have made their fortune. Do they tend to be university graduates or self-made successful people? Are they married or single?Thanks to a recent analysis of people in Forbes (福布斯) T op 100 Billionaires List, we can now find out what they have in common. We know what percentage wear glasses and even how many are bald!If you are deciding whether or not to go to university, it may help you to know that 76% of the richest people in the world have a degree. According to this study, of those 76%, 47% have a bachelor’s degree, 23% have a master’s and 6% have a doctorate. Don’t lose hope if you aren’t very academic, though. It’s worth noting that many of those on the list did not pass all their exams with flying colors. Microsoft founder Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard University after two years of study. And Chinese business magnate Jack Ma, failed his university entrance exams three times before going on to complete his degree and make his millions.Another interesting trend is that the world’s richest people are much more likely to be married —only 12% of billionaires are unmarried. Finally, the percentage of billionaires who are bald is quite high —so don’t worry if you’re losing your ha ir.25. What do Bill Gates and Jack Ma have in common according to the passage?A. They have the same amount of money at present.B. They both graduated from the same university in the U.S.A.C. They were both born in a poor family and had much suffering while young.D.

To find similarities between the top 100 richestpeople in the world.27. What may be the best title for the text?A. Tales of Bill Gates and Jack Ma.B. How to Become a Billionaire.C. Forbs Top 100 Billionaires List.D. How Bill Gates Made His Fortune.CWhat’s more exciting than having a fresh hot pizza delivered to your door? How about having it brought to you by a robot? Thanks to Domino’s Robotic Unit or DRU, that just became a reality! On March 8, the three-foot tall robot delivered its first pizza to some lucky residents in Brisbane, Australia.The fully autonomous DRU is the result of cooperation between Domino’s Pizza Australia and Marathon Robotics. The 450-pound machine that travels at a maximum speed of 12.4 miles an hour can traverse a distance of up to 12 miles and back, before requiring a battery recharge. LIDAR, a laser-based sensor technology similar to the one used in self-driving cars, enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles, while traditional sensors, much like those used in vacuum robots ensure its path is safe as it heads to its destination.drink orders. To ac cess their food, customers have to enter the unique code provided to them by the company. This not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza, but also prevents the pies from getting stolen.Scientists expect additional DRU’s to be ready for service in their variou s Queensland locations within the next six months. But don’t expect these super cute robots to replace humans anytime soon. According to Domino’s the DRU still needs extensive testing, which the company believes could take up to two years.And then there is also t he issue of regulations. The public use of autonomous vehicles is still banned in most countries. But Don Meij, the CEO and Managing Director of Domino’s Pizza Australia New Zealand Ltd, is not worried. He is "confident that one day DRU will becom e an integral part of the Domino’s family."28. What’s the function of LIDAR?A. Recharging DRU’s battery.B. Keeping DRU free of obstacles.C.

Why does the company provide codes for its customers?A. To fit more pizzas.B. To get the pizza paid in time.C. To keep the pizza from going bad.D. To prevent the pizza being taken by mistake.31. What can we infer about future of DRU?A. It will replace humans soon.B. It will be applied worldwide.C. It may be banned in Australia.D. It may need some improvement s.DThe Beijing Youth Daily on Thursday called attention to the struggles of traditional operas in China.The newspaper said the number of unique traditional Chinese opera styles had decreased to 286 from 368 in 1959, with three disappearing every two years on average. Altogether, 74 opera styles had only one troupe left, and most were at the risk of fading away.Xie Boliang, a professor at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, said, “It is well known that people should be held accountable for soil erosion, but why do we feel at ease when traditional operas fade away?”Overwhelmed by modern culture and entertainment such as movies, TV programs and pop music, traditional Chinese operas have been severely marginalized. Despite being included on the state-level Intangible Cultural Heritage list, some operas still have no place to perform.Because of the market slump (衰退) and low salaries, more traditional Chinese opera practitioners are finding other work, as are many directors and playwrights. Sun Jiazheng, chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, said traditional operas are important carriers of Chinese culture, and should be preserved.The State Council issued a circular in July calling for the promotion and protection of traditional Chinese operas, saying that it would allocate financial support and extend preferential policies to opera troupes and schools.32.
