Participating in such events is a great way to learn about school facilities and understand campus culture：What do students do for fun？What are their favorite classes？What is thehistory of your university It can help you observe campus life outside the classroom. Exploring CampusGetting to know where essential campus resources are-such as the student advising center,psychological services,and the tutoring center-will make your first few weeks on campus a lot easier,because you won't have to look for them while still getting used to your classes.Take some time to check out the buildings where your classes will be held.This will prevent you from getting lost in the first few days of classes,and familiarize you with how long it takes to get from place to place.If you're worried about taking classes one after another in different buildings,a quick test run won't hurt.That way,you will avoid potential time delays in getting to your classes.Starting a RoutineBefore getting too excited about all of the fun things you will be able to do during the week,remember that you do have a pretty big schedule change coming up.Starting classes means being in different places at different times,so it's a great idea to start getting used to that routine right this week.What helps you most is to schedule your sleep.Following the planned time will ensure you have enough sleep to get to those early classes and stay wide awake.If you have other daily routines,such as exercising or talking on the phone with family,work those into your day-to-day life before classes start so that you get a better idea of how they fit in with your schedule.16.By participating in campus welcome activities,freshmen can ______ .A. learn about campus cultureB. get their course scheduleC. have a physical examinationD. take an entrance test17.Why are freshmen advised to have a quick test run between buildings？______A. To see how many facilities they can use.B. To avoid being late for future classes.C. To help those getting lost on campus.D. To practice running on their way to class.18.When is it best for freshmen to start getting used to the new routine？______A. On the first day of their classes.B. Before the orientation week.C. After their first-day classes.D. During the orientation week.19.What does the author suggest freshmen do to stay focused in class？______A. Take physical exercise before class.B. Leave their phones powered off.C. Take early classes every day.D. Keep to the sleep schedule.20.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage______A. To offer some tips on making an easier start at college.B. To remind freshmen about the first day of school.C. To help freshmen organize campus activities.D. To share his college experience with the reader.BWhen people ask me how I started writing,I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language.Having said that,I did not know for a long time what I was looking for.It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing.With some encouragement from my colleagues,I had one of my poems published.This bit of success,however,was the point where my problem began.Back in 1978，I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning,teaching freshman composition.Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons.I composed my lectures on the way,and that was all the thinking time I had.When I returned home,there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day.As a way out,I decided to get up two hours before my usual time.My alarm was set for 5：00 A.M.The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm's reach.The second day I set two clocks,one on my night table,and one out in the hallway.I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken.This was when my morning writing began.Since that first morning in 1978，I have been following the habit to this day,not making or accepting many excuses for not writing.I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published.When I decided to write a novel,I divided my two hours：the first for poetry,the second for fiction.Well or badly,I wrote at least two pages a day.This is how my novel,The Line of the Sun.was finished.If I had waited to have the time,I would still be waiting to write my novel.What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control.For many people,the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision：taking the time to create,stealing it from yourself if ifs the only way.21.What motivated the author to start her writing career？______A. Her strong wish to share.B. Her keen interest in writing.C. Her urgent need to make a living.D. Her passionate desire for fame.22.What problem did the author face when she decided to begin her writing______A. She was too exhausted to write after a busy day.B. She had trouble in deciding on her writing style.C. She had to take time to discipline her daughter.D. She was unsure about her writing skills.23.Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway？______A. In case the clock in her room broke down.B. In case she failed to hear the ringing.C. To force herself out of bed.D. To wake up her family.24.How did the author manage to finish her novel______A. By sticking to writing every morning.B. By writing when her mind was most active.C. By drawing inspirations from classic novels.D. By reducing her teaching hours at school.25.What can we learn from the author's success in her writing career？______A. It is never too late to change your job.B. Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time.C. A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action.D. Daily life provides ideas for creative writing.CIn the fictional worlds of film and TV，artificial intelligence（AI）has been described as so advanced that it is indistinguishable from humans.But what if we're actually getting closer to a world where AI is capable of thinking and feelingTech company UneeQ is heading for its "digital humans"，which appear life like on the screen not only in terms of language,but also because of facial movements：raised eyebrows,a smile,even a nod.They look close to a human,but not quite.What lies beneath UneeQ's digital humans？Their 3 D faces are modeled on actual human features.Speech recognition enables them to understand what a person is saying,and natural language processing is used to work out a response.Meanwhile,another AI company,Soul Machines,is taking a more biological approach,with a "digital brain"，that imitates aspects of the human brain to adjust the emotions "felt" and "expressed" by its "digital people". Shiwali Mohan,an AI scientist at the Palo Research Center,is skeptical of these digital beings. "They're humanlike in their looks and the way they sound,but that in itself is not being human," she says. "Human qualities also involve how you think,how you approach problems,and how you break them down；and that takes a lot of algorithmic （算法）design.Designing for human-level intelligence is a different attempt than designing images that behave like humans." She then continues,"If something looks like a human,we have high expectations of them,but they might behave differently in ways that humans just instinctively （直觉地）know how other humans react."Yet the demand is there,with UneeQ seeing high adoption of its digital employees across the financial,health care,and commercial sectors （行业）. "Unless these sectors make their business models much more efficient digitally,they might be left behind," says Chetan Dube,UneeQ's CEO.Some other companies are taking their digital beings a step further,enabling organizations and individuals to create digital humans themselves using free-access platforms they provide. "The biggest motivation for such platforms is to popularize AI，" Dube says.Mohan is cautious about this approach,yet she supports the purpose behind these digital beings and is optimistic about where they are headed. "As we develop more advanced AI technology,we would then have to use new ways of communicating with that technology," she says. "Hopefully,all of that is designed to support humans in their goals."26.According to Para.2，in what respect（s）do UneeQ's "digital humans" resemble humanbeings______A. In the way they move around.B. In the way they act and react.C. In observation and analysis.D. In speech and facial expressions.27.Soul Machines' digital brain is a technological breakthrough because it ______ .A. learns to make proper emotional responsesB. tends to imitate human beings' tone vividlyC. recognizes the speech sounds it receivesD. processes the natural language it hears28.In Mohan's opinion,what human quality is lacking in digital beings______A. Calculating brain.B. Language skills.C. Instinctive judgements.D. Problem-solving ability.29.What makes many sectors employ digital humans？______A. The fear of falling behind in efficiency.B. The urgency to promote e-commerce.C. The wish to spread digital technology.D. The need to upgrade the health care system.30.What does Mohan think of the future of digital beings？______A. It's well planned.B. It is promising.C. It is uncertain.D. It's quite hopeless.DArt is everywhere.Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful.Why,then,is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school,insignificant to wider society,a waste of time and effortArt can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can；art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities.When people attend a concert,they are paying for music,sure,maybe even hotel rooms,meals,and transport,but they also gain an incredible experience,a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives.People don't just want material things anymore,they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover（交迭）between culture and commerce. Furthermore,the arts can bring communities together,reducing loneliness and making people feel safer.Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion,and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health.It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not；more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing.The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art,when used in hospitals,help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress,anxiety and blood pressure.Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education：those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages.Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future.Participating in the arts is essential for child development；encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.Vital to human life,art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes.Life without art would be boring and dead still,for art is a part of what makes us human.31.Art products differ from most other commercial products because ______ .A. most people purchase them for collectionB. they are more expensive and less accessibleC. they have both commercial and cultural valuesD. their prices may climb up as time passes32.By sharing their arts experiences,community members can ______ .A. keep the community safe from illnessesB. develop a stronger tie between themC. learn to appreciate their own works of artD. offer honourable solutions to their problems33.What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities？______A. They enjoy better living conditions.B. They like to compare themselves with others.C. They are particularly good at both music and art.D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally.34.How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them？______A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth.B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills.C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career.D. It helps to make responsible people out of them.35.What is the best title for this passage？______A. How Art Cures Our HeartsB. Art：A Blessing to HumankindC. How Art Benefits CommunitiesD. Art：A Bridge Between Cultures三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）My brother and I are exactly one year apart.We look like twins,but we are completely (36) .By the time we got to middle school it was clear that my older brother(37) meditation （冥想），while I was a born(38)who preferred the theatrical,even when off stage.I took his relative silence to be offensive.We simply didn't(39).I didn't(40)having a tense relationship with my brother because I was involved at school.(41)，I threw myself into the world of musicals.I practised singing in the bedroom every day to remain at my best and be(42)for roles；my brother would meditate on a window seat.He might feel high school was already hard enough(43)my noisy singing.So space to practise became a （n）(44)between us because we shared a room.At the start of the semester,I practised "Circle of Life" for a musical.This was the first timeI(45)to learn a song,because my voice cracked（破音）as I switched to a head voice.I was annoyed in that period and(46)practising,declaring I had reached the ceiling of my singing career.For the first time in years my brother(47)quiet when I got home.After two days of this,my brother asked me to(48)him in meditation.Feeling my anger at my inability to manage this song(49)，I accepted.My brother said, "When your mind floats away,you simply come back.Don't blame yourself" I got the message,and it soon became my new(50).I kept trying at the song,no longer getting(51)at myself.And just in time for the trial performance,I was able to(52)power in my singing despite the switch to a head voice.It was important for me to learn that you don't have to always get everything(53)the first time and that good things come with continual(54).I now understand why my brother favours the(55). 36.

"I'm retired,but an artist never retires," Anneke said.

Enrollment ListYou may change your class schedule during the first two weeks of the term by adding or dropping courses from your enrollment list.After the second week of classes.there will be a charge for each schedule change.Stu-dents often attend classes in which they are not enrolled on the first day of instruction to try adding this new course to the list,as other students may have dropped it.Withdrawing from CoursesIf you choose to drop a course,you must follow the UCLA procedures for removing it from your schedule.If you forget to officially drop that cours e,a“p”(Fail)grade will be

dinner that evening.Since it wasn't dark yet after the meal,I decided to walk home from the restaurant.I had traveled that way before,yet I had never noticed that old little shop.But that night I felt drawn to theviolin shop the moment I came across it.I wiped the dirt from the window to get a better look inside.Several violins hung from the dark walls,quietly waiting to be chosen.As my eyes rested on them,I felt as though I were looking through a window into my own past.My childhood was all about the pursuits I had attempted,most of which had been chosen by Mom.She was like,"Join the swim team,Tara.Your sister is a good swimmer;surely you will be,too."What she refused to acknowledge, however,was that I was visibly afraid of waterEvery Saturday I begged Mom not to make me go to the swim meet,but had little chance of success.That said,with a bang of the starting gun,I would dive into the cold water with all my strength and swim to the other side of the pool as fast as I could,only to find that the other swimmers slid past me.I would have given it up if I had not heard my father's encouraging shouts to cheer me on.When at last my hand would grab the edge of the pool,he would always be there with a warm,dry towel,telling me how proud he was of my desperate efforts.Then came a turning point in my life the day our school orchestra(警弦乐队)visited my class,and gave a demonstration.The drums annoyed me.The flutes(笛子)bored me.But the violin…ah,the violin.It made the swe etest sound Id ever heard!My heart was dancing along with its flowing tune.For the first time in my life,I went so wild with joy.Tightly holding the permission slip from the orchestra director.I ran all the way home after school,and shakily handed it to my parents with a fear that they might dismiss my desire.They didn't.Mom was thrilled to see me finally excited about something,and Dad winked(眨眼示意)at me while eagerly signing the slip.I began practicing the violin with great passion,and rose quickly inability.Before long I had won the first seat in the community orchestra …41.What did the sight of the violins in that little shop bring to Tara's mind?A.Her miserable past.B.An unforgettable sport event.C.The stories behind the violinsD.Her childhood memory.42.What Dad did for Tara during the swimming competition implies that he isA.mindless and bad-temperedB.caring and supportiveC.strict and demandingD.tolerant and sympathetic43.What fascinated Tara during her school orchestra's demonstration?A.The tune of the flutes.B.The beat of the drums.C.The sound of the violin.D.The manner of the musicians.44.What enabled Tara to win the first seat in the community orchestra?A.The steady improvement in her taste.B.Her strong desire for success.C.Her natural gift for music.D.The rapid progress in her ability.45.What message does Tara's story convey?A.It's never too young to learn.B.A passionate interest works wonders.C.Hard work will pay off in the long run.D.Like mother,like daughter.CGetting the"side-eye"look from your dog can make it seem like they are making a judgement about you,and some new studies suggest they really could beThe ability to judge others'intentions is an indicator of possessing"theory of mind"which was once thought to be unique to humans.However,new studies have shown that dogs can read human behaviour and have a preference to people who are more friendly or generous with food.One such study published in 2023 aimed to see if dogs can tell the difference between humans who are“unwilling"or“unable”to give them a treat.96 dogs were involved in both“unwilling"and"unable”scenarios(情境)designed for the study.Both scenarios involved a dog being placed on one side of a glass screen with small holes in it at nose-height,and an experimenter standing on the other.In the"unwilling'scenario,the experimenter would hang a piece of sausage in front of the screen in a"teasing(戏耍的)manner,and approach one of the holes.But instead of passing it through the hole to the dog,they would then pull it out of its reach.For the unable"scenario,the experimenter would again move the treat towards the hole while the dog watched,but "accidentally"drop it before they could pass it through.The researchers observed that the dogs were much more patient,making more eye contact and staying closer to the screen after the“unable"scenario played out.In the“unwilling”scenario,however,the dogs looked at the experimenter less often,sat,lay down and wandered around more frequently.Another study from 2021 tested for “theory of mind”in dogs in a similar way,but the dogs were able to walk round the screen to obtain the treat after witnessing the experimenter's “unwilling"or“unable”behaviour.The main finding was that the dogs approached the experimenter significantly sooner in the unable scenario than in the unwilling scenario.However,the researchers of the 2023 study challenged that the food dropped on the floor in the clumsy(笨拙的)manner might have motivated the dogs to approach the experimenter considering that they probably often obtain food dropped on the floor in their daily lives.Now,more evidence has been provided that dogs distinguish between similar actions associated with different intentions.But how exactly they acquire such intention-reading abilities will be an exciting topic for future research.46.What is one of the new research findings according to Paragraph 2?A.Dogs also have “theory of mi nd”B.Dogs prefer food from generous people.C.Human behaviours are mostly intentionalD.Friendly animals can get food more easily47.What did the experimenter do in the"unwilling"scenario in the2023 study?A.They acted awkwardly while feeding the dog.B.They pretended to walk slowly away from the dog.C.They teased the dog by fixing the treat to the screen.D.They pulled the sausage beyond the dog's reach.48.How did the dogs of the 2023 study respond to the"unable"behaviour?A.By moving closer to the experimenter.B.By keeping wandering around.C.By ignoring the experimenterD.By lying still on the floor.49.How does the experiment design of the 2021 study differ from that of 2023?A.The dogs can watch the experimenter.B.The dogs can go to the other side of the screen.C.The dogs'responses are under close observationD.The dogs'habitual behaviours are under analysis.50.What do the dogs'different responses in"unwilling"and"unable scenarios"suggest?A.Dogs can tell“being friendly"from“being mean”B.Dogs'i ntelligence is gradually evolving.C.Dogs'intentions can be easily identifiedD.Dogs are a lot more emotional than other animalsDStorytelling is an ancient art form that has been used to hand down legends,tales and factual stories.Perhaps the first thing that springs to mind when you think of storytelling is the fantasy land that took shape in your mind while Mom or Dad told you stories about princes castles and monsters,with a unique voice for each character.Storytelling does not just take place at bedtime or round a campfire,however.It can take some other forms,either via the books we read or the films we watch.But they usually have some elements in common:rather than a list of dry facts,stories have plots and they introduce characters.We respond to stories,particularly when there is emotional detail.And unlike what we suppose,storytelling is not just a form of entertainment,but a form of learning as well.Longbefore reading and writing be-came widely spread and available,oral storytelling had already been a form that the wisdom and knowledge of the people were passed down from elders to children.A good story engages our curiosity, emotions and imagination.Storytelling helps with learning also because stories are easy to remember.Research has found that learning obtained from a well-told story is remembered more accurately,and for far longer,than from facts and figures.And above all,stories have a transformative power to allow us to see the world in a different way than we do if we just encounter it on our own.Stories are an entry point to understanding a different experience of the world.This aspect of storytelling presenting a different perspective of the world is important when it comes to connecting with each other.It gives us an opportunity to learn from another person's experience and it can shape,strengthen or challenge our opinions and values.So,when someone tells us their own personal story,we catch a glimpse(警见)of a view of the world that may be slightly or significantly different from our own.When we see the world as they see it,or walk in their shoes,the experience can in-spire empathy(共情；同理心)with them.51.What occurs to us the moment we think of“storytelling?A.A child's imaginary worldB.Voices of Mom or Dad.C.An ancient art form.D.Factual stories.52.What are the common elements in all forms of storytelling according to the author?A.Form and style.B.Facts and figures.C.Emotional and physical detailsD.A series of events and characters53.Why does storytelling work better than mere statement of facts in promoting learning?A.It carries more wisdom and knowledge.B.It is more widely available to young learners.C.It satisfies our imagination and releases our emotions.D.It makes what is learned more precise and longer lasting54.How can other people's personal stories probably benefit us?A.By offering us more opportunities to know people.B.By helping us stay connected with the contemporary world.C.By allowing us to understand the world the way they see it.D.By enabling us to tell reality from imagination.55.What makes the best title for the passage?A.The History of StorytellingB.The Power of StorytellingC.The Forms of StorytellingD.The Art of

天津2024年高中英语考试真题
天津2024年高中英语考试真题Tianjin 2024 High School English ExamReading ComprehensionSection A: Multiple ChoiceDirections: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.Life Skills Education in SchoolsWith the fast-changing world and the ever-increasing demands of the job market, it is essential for schools to focus not only on academics but also on providing students with life skills education. Life skills are the abilities that help individuals deal effectively with the challenges of everyday life, such as communication, decision making, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills.Incorporating life skills education in schools has numerous benefits. Firstly, it equips students with the practical skills they need to navigate through various situations in life. Secondly, it promotes critical and creative thinking, which are crucial skills in the 21st century. Finally, it prepares students for the real worldby teaching them how to manage their emotions, build healthy relationships, and make responsible decisions.Unfortunately, many schools still focus primarily on academics and overlook the importance of life skills education. It is crucial for educational institutions to recognize the value of teaching life skills and to incorporate them into their curriculum. By doing so, schools can better prepare students for the challenges they will face in their personal and professional lives.1. What are life skills?A. Academic achievementsB. Practical abilities for daily lifeC. Interpersonal conflictsD. Critical thinking skills2. What is one benefit of incorporating life skills education in schools?A. Promoting competition among studentsB. Building healthy relationshipsC. Focusing solely on academicsD. Overlooking the importance of life skills3. Why is it important for schools to teach life skills?A. To create more stress for studentsB. To prepare students for the challenges of the 21st centuryC. To reduce the importance of academicsD. To limit students' creativitySection B: Short AnswerDirections: Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.Climate Change and Its ImpactsClimate change is a pressing issue that affects every aspect of our lives. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and melting ice caps are just some of the visible impacts of climate change. However, its effects go beyond these physical manifestations. Climate change also has serious implications for our health, economy, and society as a whole.One of the key consequences of climate change is the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, wildfires, and droughts. These events not only cause immediate damage to infrastructure and livelihoods but also have long-term effects on communities and ecosystems. Inaddition, climate change exacerbates existing social inequalities, as marginalized populations are often the most vulnerable to its impacts.Addressing climate change requires collective action at the global, national, and local levels. Individuals, communities, governments, and businesses all have a role to play in mitigating its effects and adapting to the changing climate. By working together and taking concrete steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we can create a more sustainable and resilient future for generations to come.4. What are some of the visible impacts of climate change?5. How do natural disasters contribute to the effects of climate change?6. What role do individuals, communities, governments, and businesses play in addressing climate change?Section C: Extended ResponseDirections: Read the following prompt and write an essay in response.Prompt: Some people believe that technology has made our lives easier, while others argue that it has made us moredependent and disconnected. What is your opinion on this issue? Use specific examples and reasons to support your argument.Essay:In today's digital age, technology plays a significant role in our lives, shaping how we communicate, work, and interact with the world around us. While it is true that technology has many benefits and has made certain tasks easier and more efficient, it has also led to increased dependency and social disconnection.On the one hand, technology has revolutionized the way we access information, communicate with others, and perform everyday tasks. For example, smartphones allow us to connect with people across the globe instantly, access a wealth of knowledge at our fingertips, and automate various processes to save time and effort. In this sense, technology has undoubtedly made our lives more convenient and productive.On the other hand, the pervasive use of technology has also resulted in a sense of dependency and disconnection from the real world. Many people rely heavily on their devices for entertainment, communication, and even basic functions such as navigation and reminders. This dependency can lead to feelings of isolation, as individuals may prioritize virtual interactions over face-to-face relationships. Moreover, excessive screen time hasbeen linked to various health issues, such as eye strain, sleep disturbances, and reduced physical activity.In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedly improved our lives in many ways, it is important to strike a balance and be mindful of its potential drawbacks. By using technology judiciously, maintaining face-to-face connections, and unplugging from screens regularly, we can enjoy the benefits of technology while also staying connected to the world around us.Word Count: 851Writing SkillsSection A: GrammarDirections: Choose the correct form of the verb to complete each sentence.1.

What is your opinion on this issue? Use specific examples and reasons to support your argument.Essay:In recent years, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives, connecting us to friends, family, and the world atlarge. While social media has many benefits, such as facilitating communication, fostering community, and raising awareness about social issues, it also has negative consequences, including promoting unrealistic standards, spreading misinformation, and contributing to addiction and mental health issues.One of the key advantages of social media is its ability to bring people together and provide a platform for sharing ideas and experiences. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter allow users to connect with others, stay informed about current events, and express themselves creatively. Social media has also been instrumental in organizing social movements, raising awareness about important causes, and mobilizing support for charitable initiatives.On the other hand, social media can also have detrimental effects on individuals and society as a whole. The rise of influencer culture has fueled unrealistic beauty standards, materialism, and comparison among users, leading to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. In addition, the spread of fake news, hate speech, and misinformation on social media can have far-reaching consequences, polarizing communities, undermining trust in institutions, and influencing public opinion on critical issues.In conclusion, social media is a powerful tool that can both unite and divide us. While it has the potential to bring about positive change and empower individuals, it is essential to be mindful of its impact and use it responsibly. By promoting digital literacy, critical thinking, and digital well-being, we can harness the benefits of social media while mitigating its negative effects on society.Word Count: 387Overall, the Tianjin 2024 High School English Exam aims to test students' reading comprehension, writing skills, grammar, vocabulary, and listening comprehension. By evaluating students' proficiency in these areas, the exam helps assess their English language abilities and readiness for academic and professional success in an increasingly globalized world.。
