AWe all have our ways of marking time. As a photographer, my life is measured from one story to the next. My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about the Endangered Species Act. My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves.Twenty stories later, though, it’s the story in Alaska that I’ll remember best. It was the story about the loss of wilderness —and the story during which my wife Kathy got cancer. That’s the one that made time stand still. I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor (肿瘤). Cruelly, it was Thanksgiving. By Christmas, she had become very weak. Some days she was so sick she couldn’t watch TV.Early examination saves time. But ours was not early. By the time you can feel it yourself, it’s often bigger than the doctor want it to be.Cancer is a thief. It steals time. Our days are already short with worry. Then comes this terrible disease, unfair as storm at harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us, for good. We learn to simplify, enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don’t. Cancer even made me a better father. My work had made me a stranger to my three kids. But now I pay attention to what really matters. This is not a race. This is a new way of life and new way of seeing, all from the cancer.In the end each of us has so little time. We have less of it than we can possibly imagine. And even though it turns out that Kathy’s cancer has not spread, an d her prognosis (诊断) is good, we try to make it all count now, enjoying every part of every day.I’ve picked up my camera again. I watch the sky, searching for beautiful light. When winter storms come, Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes (雪花) on our tongues. After all, this is good. This is what we’re living for.31. As a photographer, the author used to ______.A. leave his daughter with a pack of gray wolvesB. express his love for his family in a special wayC. miss a great many important historical momentsD. devote much more to his career than his family32. Why did the author decide to stop taking pictures?A. To cure his own disease.B. To spend more time with his wife.C. To seek a better position.D. To leave the wilderness alone.33. What is the biggest change the cancer has brought to the author?A. He treasured every bit of time with his family.B. He has become a stranger to his children.C. He takes his work more seriously.D. He focuses more on medical care.34. The author and his family catch snowflakes on their tongues probably because ______.A. the snowflakes taste very goodB. snowflakes are what they feed onC. they regard that as a way to enjoy lifeD. there is beautiful light in the snowflakesBYou put a great deal of effort into reaching the college of your choice. It’s time to get started. But what’s next? Beginning college can be an exciting but awkward time. Follow these tips to adjust to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience.●To save time and money, use the college’s bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. You won’t have to locate or afford a place to park either. It’s also a good way to be environmentally aware.●Save pennies on books by waiting until class starts. You might not even need all of the recommended books. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks —it’s a surefire way to save money and serves the purpose as well.●Do never look at college life as an endless series of parties and social activities. But there is a whole lot more to college if you’re serious about graduating. Having a good college experience is all about balancing work and fun.●Be aware that your living environment can largely affect your academic success. If the dorm doesn’t suit you, consider living at home with your family or renting your own apartment. The best location for your studies isn’t always your dorm. Find a quiet area, like the library, to do your work. Alternatively, buy some headphones that block out noise.●Be mindful of your diet. Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that are processed or high in sugar. The “freshman 15” is real. Many college students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year.●While electives (选修课) can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldn’t entirely rely on them. Clubs and other organizations exist around. Get involved. Make sure, though, that you still have time to study. Having too much on your plate can hurt your grades.35. Which of the following ideas can be financially wise?A. Driving your own car.B. Buying used books.C. Renting an apartment.D. Attending activities.36. In the text, freshmen are repeatedly warned against ______.A. academic failuresB. physical problemsC. traffic accidentsD. social activities37. The “freshman 15” tells the fact that some freshmen ______.A. attend limited activities on campusB. have little regular physical exerciseC. focus less on their academic workD. take relaxed attitudes to their diets38. The underlined phrase “having too much on your plate” probably refers to _____.A. using too much money for mealsB. eating too many unhealthy foodsC. taking part in too many after-class activitiesD. taking an elective that has too many studentsCIT COULD HAPPEN TO YOUMany people think there is no need to take special care over home security.“I’m all right, I’m insured (保险)”Maybe—if you’re fully insured. Even then you can never recover the real value you place on your possessions. But you can’t insure against the upset and unhappiness that we all feel if our homes are torn apart by some stranger, our windows and doors broken, our precious possessions ruined.“It won’t happen to me”Won’t it? A home is broken into every minute or so of the day. The thefts of all kinds, including cars and property stolen from cars, happen twice as frequently.“I’ve nothing worth stealing”You may think not. But in fact everyone has something worth a thief’s attention. And we all have things of special value to us even if they’re worth little or nothing in cash terms.“I’m just a tenant (房客) here”The thief doesn’t care whether you’re a tenant o r an owner-occupier. You’re just as likely to be robbed. Have a word with the owner of the house if you think extra locks and fastenings arenecessary.“They’ll get in anyway”Most thieves are on the lookout for easy jobs. They are soon discouraged by hous es they can’t get into in any quick and easy way. So it’s worth taking care.“This booklet will help you”It’s based on the practical experience of police forces throughout the country. Most of the suggestions will cost you only a few minutes extra time and thought. A few may involve some expense, but this is small compared with the loss and unhappiness you might otherwise suffer.If you are in doubt, ask for free advice from the Crillle Prevention Officer at your localpolice station.39. Why do you still need to protect your possessions when you’ve already insured them?A. You tend to undervalue your possessions.B. You cannot insure against damage to property.C. A robbery can affect your moods at home.D. It takes a long time to recover your belongings.40. What should a tenant do if he is worried about the security of his home?A. Fix new locks on all the doors.B. Discuss the matter with the owner.C. Check it up with the police.D. Keep careful watch of the house.41. The advertisement says that most thieves ______.A. prefer stealing from officesB. like causing a lot of damageC. break into any places they desireD. get prevented by perfect guard equipment42. This advertisement aims to influence people who ______.A. have little sense of securityB. are not properly insuredC. are worried about home securityD. have their houses broken intoDIn the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances (气旋) hundreds —even thousands — of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist (潮湿的) air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is switched to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to turn around in a counter-clockwise motion (反时针方向).The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released (释放) by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months.Water, rather than wind, is the main source of death and destroying in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6-to-12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea — the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.43. An ordinary tropical storm is called a hurricane when ______.A.it occurs in the Caribbean seasB. its winds reach 75 miles per hourC. it makes its way to the coastlineD. its winds begin to circle on the sea44. What is the worst thing about hurricane?A. The rough water.B. The violent winds.C. The heat it gives out.D. The length of its life.45. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. The hurricane is extraordinarily powerful.B. The hurricane is used to generate electricity.C. The hurricane can otherwise offer an unusual sight.D. The hurricane can give people an unforgettable experience.46. The counter-clockwise movement of the hurricane is caused by ______.A. the low-pressure area in the center of the stormB. the force of waves of waterC. the increasing heatD. the trade windsEI am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval (准允), he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated (受挫), but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique (独特的). It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.47. Time and again the author got his son seated in order to make him ______.A. work fastB. go politeC. stay relaxedD. keep attentive48. The underlined “it” (in the first paragraph) probably refers to ______.A. his son’s doing better while standing upB. his failure in keeping his son under controlC. his own experience as a school boyD. his disappointment with his active child49. By this passage, the author attempts to tell other parents to ______.A. correct their kids’ manners from the early agesB. respect and trust their kids’ ways of behaviorsC. develop a good relationship with their childrenD. guarantee their children’s freedom at home50. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Parental help with teens’ studyB. Adult influence on teen growthC. Kids’ success in their own stylesD. Friendship between generations第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Personally, that is what I agree with. Because success never comes easily and the stricter a teacher is, the more likely a student will be to make progress.I still remember the time when I couldn’t swim like other boys. What’s worse, I even dared not jump into the water. It was my swimming teacher, Mr. Liu, who insisted on training me every day regardless of my tears and crying. Gradually, my fear of water was gone and my confidence arose. But for him, I would never enjoy the fun that swimming brings to me.Therefore, I am convinced that a teacher’s strictness best helps his students to achieve success. (110 words)。

2023届四川省绵阳市高三第二次诊断性考试英语试题(含答案解析)
2023届四川省绵阳市高三第二次诊断性考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The following list focuses on the top4not-to-be-missed world-class museums,helping tourists explore and experience the best the New York City has to offer.COOPER HEWITT,SMITHSONIAN DESIGN MUSEUMThe Cooper Hewitt,Smithsonian Design Museum(CHSDM)was founded in1897.It is the only museum in the U.S.devoted to historic and contemporary design.Exhibitions feature more than650objects throughout four floors of the building,many of which draw from the museum’s permanent collection of more than210,000objects.Free guided tours are provided from11:30AM to1:30PM on weekdays and1PM to3PM on weekends.MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGEThe Museum of the Moving Image(MOMI)is housed on the original13-acre lot that made up the historic Kaufman Astoria Studios.Lose yourself in the permanent exhibit, Behind the Screen,which introduces visitors to the history of the moving image from19th-century optical(视觉的)toys to today’s digital tools used to edit and produce films.AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORYOne of the world’s largest natural history museums with more than33million exhibits, the AMNH educates and entertains visitors,keeping them busy for hours on end.The museum offers self-guided tours,including one featuring exhibits from the movie,Night at the Museum with Ben Stiller.There are a handful of places to eat inside should the kids get hungry.The kid sleepovers at the AMNH are impressive.NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETYThe New-York Historical Society(NYHS)was founded in1804as New York’s first museum.The Henry Luce II Center for the Study of American Culture on the fourth floor has been redesigned to showcase The Gallery of Tiffany lamps,displayed in a glass gallery.The Center for Women’s History is the first of its kind in a U.S.museum devoted to this subject.It offers free daily tours at2and3:30PM.1．When can you get free guided tours at the CHSDM?A．At12:30PM Monday.B．At2:30PM Thursday.C．At10:30AM Saturday.D．At11:30AM Sunday.2．Which museum provides special care for children?A．CHSDM B．MOMI.C．AMNH.D．NYHS. 3．What is special about NYHS?A．It has the longest history.B．It focuses on human history.C．It provides free tours all day long.D．It tells the history of the moving image.What are the most sustainable crops to grow for food security?Perhaps,in your growing zones,oranges or peaches win for best fruit crop.Hot,dry climates might call for dates or grapes.For me,growing organic apples is the best.Perhaps that’s because my hometown knows more about growing and preserving apples than any other fruit.Some apples may have worms in them.“It’s not that bad.It’s organic.Just cut the worm out.”I laugh even as I type this.For us,“organic”is how we grow apples,but it does mean carving good fruit away from black worm holes.Modern techniques for growing organic apples include worm traps,fruit barriers,and organic insecticides,like bacterial poisons that only target worms.Wormy apples are just fine for apple juice and jam,Mom says.Cut off the good part and throw it in the pot.Throw the bad part to the chickens.Boil the fruit and put juice into canning jars.Apple jam become pancake topping and the replacement“oil”in recipes—that is,if we don’t eat it directly out of the jar.Apples are now so symbolic to American life that other countries try out the market.When I was younger,I might have laughed at that because of how connected apples and American stories have become,despite the fact that apples aren’t native to North America.But a good friend,after visiting several farms in his motherland Nigeria,showed me photos of Nigerian apples.The skin texture(质地)and color resembled American apples,but they were shaped more like oxheart tomatoes.So even though apples have taken on symbolic significance in America,they can contribute to food security in all kinds of places. 4．What’s the passage mainly about?A．Organic food and modern techniques.B．American and African apples.C．Climate and growing crops.D．Apples and food security.5．What happens to the good parts of wormy apples?A．They are thrown away.B．They are made into apple juice. C．They are sold to customers.D．They are fed to the chickens. 6．What does the author learn from his friend?A．Apples are not native to North America.B．Other countries are also growing apples.C．Apples outside America are ugly-looking.D．People of other countries don’t like apples.7．What can be inferred from the passage?A．America produces the best apples of the world.B．Poisons are no longer used on apples in America.C．The author is proud of apples grown in his hometown.D．Apple juice and jam are actually made from wormy apples.Kjell Inge Roekke is a billionaire owner of an oil company from Norway.As a young man,he was a high school dropout who moved to the US to become an ordinary fisherman. Now he is the tenth-richest man in his country.Worth two billion dollars,he plans to give much of his money away and is starting with cleaning up our oceans.In the Pacific Ocean, there is an island called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch,which is twice the size of the continental United States.It consists of nothing but small pieces of plastic and the dead bodies of sea life and birds.The billionaire is buying a state-of-the-art ship.With the latest equipment on board,the ship will remove five tons of plastic from our oceans daily.Kjell started his business empire building industrial fishing boats.He believes he owes his fortune to the ocean and wants to pay the debt back.“I want to give back to society the majority of what I’ve earned.This ship is a part of it.”said the seagoing man.Managed by the conservation organization WWF,the ship’s mission is to get the poisonous things out of the oceans.It couldn’t come at a better time.Earlier this year a killer whale washed up on a UK shore was poisoned by man-made chemicals.The whale called Lulu was the most poisoned on record.It was20years old and had never reproduced because her body had been badly damaged.Kjell has given WWF complete control of the boat.The conservation organization is not comfortable with the practices of the Norwegian’s oil business.Yet in the struggle to save the environment,unlikely partners must work together.Without the world’s oceans,life on Earth wouldn’t exist.8．What has Kjell decided to do?A．Make our oceans clean again.B．Put an end to his oil business.C．Stop using plastics in his daily life.D．Remove the rubbish with his own hands.9．What does“state-of-the-art”in Paragraph4probably mean?A．Beautiful.B．Advanced.C．Expensive.D．Comfortable. 10．Why is Lulu the whale mentioned in the passage?A．To ask people to help the creature.B．To invite people to join in the effort.C．To stress the consequence of the pollution.D．To draw attention to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.11．Why does WWF decide to work with Kjell?A．Ocean pollution calls for combined action.B．It is comfortable to work with a billionaire.C．His business is friendly to the environment.D．He has given up control of his newly bought ship.If you are forgetful or make mistakes when in a hurry,a new study from Michigan State University(MSU)found that meditation(冥想)could help you to become less likely to make mistakes.The research,published in Brain Sciences,tested how open monitoring meditation (OMM)changed brain activity in a way that suggests increased error recognition.The findings suggest that different forms of meditation can have different effects.“Some forms of meditation have you focus on a single object,commonly your breath,but OMM is a bit different,”Lin said.“It has you pay attention to everything going on in your mind and body. The goal is to sit quietly and pay close attention to where the mind travels without getting too caught up in the scenery.”Lin and his MSU co-authors—William Eckerle,Ling Peng and Jason Moser—employed more than200participants to test how OMM affected how people detect and respond to errors.The participants,who had never meditated before,were taken through a 20-minute OMM exercise while the researchers measured brain activity through EEG(脑电图).While the meditators didn’t have immediate improvements to actual task performance, the researchers’findings offer a promising window into the potential of sustained meditation.“These findings are a strong demonstration of what just20minutes of meditation can do to enhance the brain’s ability to detect and pay attention to mistakes,”Moser said.“It makes us feel more confident in what meditation might really be capable of for performance and daily functioning right there in the moment.”Looking ahead,Lin said,“The next phase of research will determine whether changes in brain activity can translate to behavioral changes with more long-term practice.It’s great to see the public’s enthusiasm for meditation,but there’s still plenty of work from a scientific viewpoint to be done to understand the benefits it can have,and equally importantly,how it actually works.”12．How does OMM differ from other forms of mediation?A．It fixes your focus on your breath.B．It keeps your mind and body calm.C．It makes you caught up in the scenery.D．It enables you to be aware of everything.13．What does the results of the research show?A．The mediators acquire the habit of meditating regularly.B．The mediators can improve their ability to recognize errors.C．Meditation has an immediate influence on task performance.D．Meditation can increase people’s confidence about themselves.14．What will the research team try to find out next?A．How to monitor brain activity.B．How to sustain meditation practice.C．Meditation’s influence on behavior.D．The public’s response to meditation.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Meditation Helps People Sit QuietlyB．OMM Helps Measure People’s Brain ActivityC．Brain Activity Improves People’s PerformanceD．Meditation May Help People Make Fewer Mistakes二、七选五Everyone at some time feels that their life is going nowhere-and fast.____16____ Nothing can beat living an active,purposeful,successful
