There’s no doubt that one of the greatest human achievements is the exploration of the space． Ever since astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to be sent into the orbit around the moon in 1961, scientists have been pushing the boundaries further and further． But until now the exploration into the unknown has been dominated（主导） by men．Of course, in the past, women were also included in the space projects and played an active role on the ground and behind the scenes． For example． they worked as seamstresses（女裁缝师）, sewing vital spaceflight components． In fact, many of NASA’s key works would never have been possible without them． Recently Hollywood produced a movie called Hidden Figures to focus on a group of American femalemathematicians, especially the black women, who helped NASA send the first American into space．But this was not women’s only contribution． Back in 1963, Soviet astronaut Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to be sent into space． However, after that, space flight programs were slow to employ women． In the USA．NASA didn’t accept applications from women to become astronauts until 1978．But attitudes have changed and leading officials at NASA say that the first person to set foot on Mars should be a woman． The space agency aims to have a sex﹣balanced workforce but can only achieve that if equal numbers of men and women are trained for science and technology jobs． As Allison McIntryre told the BBC, “My directo r is a woman, We have female astronauts．We haven’t put a woman on the moon yet． And I think that perhaps the first person to step on Mars should be a woman．”（1）What did Yuri Gagarin do in 1961？________A.

What do you do at the end of the day when you re finished with work? How you spend your free time can have a big impact（影响） on your mental health, Hobbies can help you relax and ease pent﹣up（郁结的） stress caused by all that time in the office or in front of the computer． But, interestingly, how you spend your free time can also impact your work performance．Researchers at the University of Sheffield’s Institute of Work Psychology in the UK found that developing hobbies can develop your confidence about how well you perform your job． But your hobby has to be significantly different from what you do from 9﹣t0﹣5 work． To study the connection between work and leisure（休闲） activities, researchers employed 129 people who worked and were active in hobbies like rock climbing, musical theater and singing． They had them complete surveys to see how serious and committed they were to their hobbies and how demanding their jobs were． Then, each month for seven months． participants were asked how many hours they spent on their hobbies and how they rated their ability to perform at work．Researchers found that if people have hobbies similar to what they do at work and that they do in an intense （强烈的） way, their on the job confidence can suffer．It’s likely because their work and leisure time have the same mental and physical demands, sothey ’re always feeling ________．In contrast． people who have hobbies different from their work are happier and healthier． This is also true of those who choose a similar hobby but only participate in a lighthearted way． Those playful recreations act as a barrier between their professional and personal lives, giving them rest time to “recharge their batteries”, the researchers say．“When we feel like we have the confidence to handle challenges in our jobs．we’re more likely to be able to build a sustainable（可持续的） job and remainhealthy, productive, happy and employable over our lifetimes．It’s important to consider how our leisure activities might play a role in that process, ” lead researcher Ciara Kelly saidin a statement．（1）Why can your hobby improve your mental health？________A.

A new study found evidence that dos develop ed in physical ways to present “lovely dogeyes” as a way to connect with humans．The study compared the facial muscles（肌肉） of dogs and wolves, which share ancestral history． Dogs broke off from wolves after being domesticated （驯化） about 33, 0000 years ago． During that time dogs changed physically and behaviorally to fit life with humans．The researchers examined the heads of six dogs and two wolves for comparison． They found the facial structure of both animals was mostly very similar． But one major difference was found above the eyes． The dogs were found to have two well﹣formed muscles around the eye that were not present in the wolves． These small muscles permit dogs to raise their inner eyebrows, the study found．Juliane Kaminski． a comparative psychologist from the research suggests this eyebrow﹣rising movement causes “a warm” feelings in humans because it makes the dogs’ eyes appear larger． This expressions also makes the dog lo more like a human baby． The eye movement is similar to that which humans make when they are sad．“The evidence is very obvious that dogs developed a muscle to raise the inner eyebrows after they were domesticated from wolves, ” Kaminski said．In a separate part of the study, the researchers observed how 27 dogs and nine wolves interacted with a human．“We also studied dogs’ and wolves’ behavior． And when exposed to a human for two minutes, dogs raised their inner eyebrows more and higher than wolves, ” Kaminski said．The researchers suggest that the eye movements developed over time as a way for dogs to get humans to do things for them, such as giving then food, care or attention．The only dog species in the study that did not have the muscles was the Siberian husky, which is an ancient kind of dog． The husky could be the best living example of what the link between dogs and wolves looked like．Kaminski said the main limitation of the study was the small number of dogs and wolves used． This means further study will be required and should include other ancient dog species． The work could also be extended 10 other animals with which humans have developed close relationships, including horses and cats．（1）What is the difference found between dogs and wolves？________A.

AWhy don’t quiet carriages work, and how might they be make to? Quiet carriages on trains are a nice idea: travelers voluntarily make their phones silent, turn stereos off and keep chatter to a minimum. However, in reality, there is usually at least one silly babbler(喋喋不休的人) to break the silence.A couple of problems prevent peaceful trips. First, there is a sorting problem: some passengers end up in the quiet carriage by accident and are not aware of the rules. Second, there is a commitment problem: noise is sometimes made by travelers who choose the quiet carriage but find an important call hard to ignore.The train operators are trying to find answers. Trains in Queensland Australia, are having permanent signs added to show exactly what is expected; a British operator has invested in some technology to prevent phone calls.Microeconomics suggests another approach. Fining people for making a noise would surely dissuade(劝阻) the polluter and is a neat solution in theory, but it requires costly monitoring and enforcement. Another way would be to use prices to separate quiet and noisy passengers－in effect, creating a market for silence. A simple idea would be to sell access to the quiet carriage as an optional extra when the ticket is bought. Making the quiet coach both an active choice and a costly one would dissuade many of those who don’t value a peaceful ride.Charging may also solve the commitment problem. This is particularly tricky, as attitudes to noise canchange during the journey. Some passengers would pay the quiet premium but still chatter away when some vital news arrives. Schemes that reward the silent－a rating system among fellow passengers, for example －could help. The idea is that losing your hard-won reputation offsets the short-term gain from using the phone. But such a system also fails the simplicity test.A 2010 book by George Akerlof and Rachel Kranton argues that “norms”－feelings about how everyone should behave－also play a role in decision-making. Charging a price, even if just a token amount, means the quiet carriage becomes a service that fellow passengers have bought, not just a preference they have expressed. Perhaps different norms would come into play, encouraging calm. If not, a personal bubble is always an option: noise-canceling headphones start at around $50.1. According to the passage, what does microeconomics suggest?A. Finding the source of noise.B. Putting a price on noise.C. Avoid using a phone in the carriage.D. Investing more money in monitoring and enforcement.2. By “a personal bubble is always an option,” the author means ________.A. one can make his own choiceB. one sh ould respect others’ privacyC. one can create his own personal spaceD. one should stick to his personal budget3. This passage is mainly about ________.A. people’s favoured transportationB. effective methods of monitoring noise levelsC. possible solutions to noise in train carriagesD. common forms of misbehavior of passengersBThe great-grandmother is learning English with the help of her family when she is at the age of 91. She hopes to use the language at next year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo. Takamiz awa was one of the more than 200, 00 people who requested to volunteer for Tokyo’s 2020 Games. English is not required for service, but it is a useful skill for volunteers to have.But Takamizawa had not been able to learn the language when she was young. Takamizawa said that she was in high school when World War Two started. She said, “In my second year there, English was banned because it was the enemy language.”Takamizawa said her grandchildren helped persuade her that she was not too old to learn. “Whe n I talked to my grandchildren about my wish, they said, ‘It’s not too late. We will teach you one word a day’ ”. Natsuko is Takamizawa’s granddaughter and main English teacher. Natsuko sends a new English word to her grandmother’s phone every day. They al so often work together directly on phrases that Takamizawa will need for the Olympics. “Welcome to Tokyo, this is the Olympic stadium, how can I help you?” Takamizawa answers when asked to say an English phrase she has learned. Natsuko explains that she wa nted to give her grandmother something to enjoy. “I can clearly see her English is getting better. It’s my joy now.”The EF English Proficiency Index is a measure of the level of English spoken in a country. Japan ranks 49th among countries where English is not the first language. This situation is slowly changing as younger generations welcome English. However, Takamizawa believes real change will not happen unless Japanese people become more open to the rest of the world. With around 500 days to go until the games begin, the whole Takamizawa family is ready to welcome the world to Tokyo.4. Why couldn’t Takamizawa learn English when she was young?A. Because English was useless.B. Because she was too young to learn English.C. Because English was forbidden to learn.D. Because she was unwilling to learn English.5. What can we know from the third paragraph?A. Takamizawa gets strong support from her family.B. Takamizawa’s grandchildren love her a lot.C. Natsuko is Takamizawa’s granddaughter and only Engl ish teacher.D. Natsuko teaches Takamizawa English mainly by talking with her.6. What does the underlined phrase “This situation” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. English is not the first language in Japan.B. The level of English spoken in Japan is relatively low.C. Younger generations in Japan welcome English.D. Japanese people become open to the rest of the world.7. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Where there is a will, there is a way.B. It is never too late to learn.C. The early bird catches the worm.D. Two heads are better than one.CIt is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing , because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged hom e environment.To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child,s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different social-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic background and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the child,s development was the poor quality ofparent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.8. What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program ?A. The large number of poor families.B. The disapproval from children.C. The late start of the program.D. The long period of time.9. What do we know about the “Missouri” program ?A. It focused on the children,s first school teachers.B. It helped the children return to the same home.C. It made the children improved in many aspects.D. It gave the parents advice on their development.10. According to the passage, what is likely to influence children,s performance ?A. The number of family members.B. The parent-child communication.C. The intelligence of their parents.D. The teacher-student relationship.11. How does the author develop the passage ?A. By listing figures.B. By making comparisons.C. By giving examples.D. By drawing conclusions.DWe’ve all been there: those times you need to argue your point of view to someone who you know disagrees with you. You immediately go to your keyboard and start to type out that 280-character tweet, the Facebook reply, or a paragraphs-long email. Surely the reason, logic, and strong power of your written words will convince whoever it is who disagrees with you to see your point of view. But new research suggests a different idea.That research was conducted by Juliana Schroeder, assistant professor of University of California, Berkeley, and her colleagues. In Schroeder’s study of almost 300 people, participants were asked to watch, listen, and read arguments about subjects they agreed or disagreed with. They were asked to judge the character of the communicator and the quality of the argument. Schroeder’s team found that the participants who watched or listened to the communicator were less dismissive (抵触的)of their claims than when they read that communicator’s same argument.The idea for her study came from a newspaper article about a politician. One of us read a speech that was printed in a newspaper from a politician with whom he strongly disagreed. The next week, he heard the exact same speech playing on a radio station. He was shocked by how different his reaction was toward the politician when he read the speech compared to when he heard it. When he read the statement, the politician seemed idiotic, but when he heard it spoken, the politician actually sounded reasonable.So in the workplace, speaking to someone in person often involves nothing more than walking a few doors down to their office. And that’s exactly what you should do if you need to con vince that boss or colleague of why your blueprint for the company or project is the right one.Only as a last way should you try to communicate with someone who you disagree with over social media. Twitter’s limited text allowance and social media users’ short attention make arguing your point anuphill battle.12. What’s the result of the research?A. Written words are more logical and reasonable.B. People prefer to communicate with key board.C. When reading an argument, the participants were less dismissive than hearing it.D. Oral, not written, communication works better.13. Why is the politician mentioned in paragraph3?A. To introduce the topic for discussion.B. To summarize the previous paragraphs.C. To explain why Schroeder conducted the research.D. To introduce the politician’s speech.14. What does the underlined word “idiotic’’in paragraph 3 mean?A. Wise.B. Practical.C. Silly.D. Special.15. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. To persuade your boss, you need to walk to his office and leave a message.B. It’s difficult to fully explain your points due to social media’s limitation.C. Arguing over social media is more convenient than speaking in person.D. Communicating with others over social media is encouraged.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。

The term“swimming hole” might make you think that cenotes are just average, but cenotes are truly(31)________. I had the most exciting experience of my life exploring these wonders of nature.Thousands of years old, the cenotes formed and created sinkholes underneath.

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.Recently, the Victorian Government brought in new rules. Victorian state schools will be banned from using facialrecognition technology in classrooms unless they have the ____41____ of parents,students and the Department of Education.Students may be justifiably horrified at the thought of being ____42____ as they move throughout the school during a day. But a roll marking system could be as simple as looking at a tablet or iPad once a day ____43____ being signed off on a paper roll. It simply depends on the implementation. Trials have already begun in independent schools and. up to 100 campuses across Australia. According to the developers, the technology promises to save teachers up to 25 hours a week by ____44____ the need for them to mark the roll at the start of every class. Many students now have smart phones that recognise faces right now. There are also ____45____ face recognition apps for Android phones and iPhones. So face recognition is already in our schools.And I argue that, like earlier technologies such as the motor vehicle and mobile phone, a strategy where adoption is managed to create the most good and least harm is appropriate. We shouldn’t simply ____46____ it.We are now in a golden age of face recognition. The main reason for rapid adoption is that recognition ____47____has improved significantly in recent years. The simple application of this technology proposed for schools is to collect the student roll call ____48___ for classes. This is a compulsory requirement imposed by the education department.However, ____49____ is often raised as an objection and this. issue can never be dismissed lightly.Objections are mostly based on the collection and distribution of the photos. But every school ____50____ photos. of their students already and schools have strict control over distribution. Such controls would necessarily be built into any school certified system. The only fundamental ____51____ of the process is whether a teacher or a computer recognizes the student.Face recognition technologies will become widely adopted across society over the coming years.Concerns over implementation and privacy may ____52____ adoption in some places, but the____53____ will come in and will change business practices right across the world once that happens.In short, this technology has the ability to free up our time and reduce the costs. As with all new technologies, of course, face recognition ____54____ reasonable concerns. Constructive policies and dialog are the preferred way forwardto gain the ____55____ benefit for society at large, and to make sure we do the least harm.4 1.

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)In university I had a part-time job at a shop that sold doughnuts and coffee. Situated on a block where several buses stopped, it served the people who had a few minutes to wait for their bus.Every afternoon around four o' clock, a group of schoolchildren would burst into the shop, and business would come to a stop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and pass on. But I didn't mind if the children waited for their bus inside. Sometimes I would hand out a bus: fare when a ticket went missing always repaid the next day. On snowy days I would give away some. doughnuts. I would lock the door at closing time, and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally arrived.I enjoyed my young friends, but it never occurred to me that I played an important role in their lives - until one afternoon when a man came and asked if I was the girl working on weekdays around four o’clock. He identified himself as the father of two of my favorites.I want you to know I appreciate what you do for my children. I worry about them taking two buses to get home. Itmeans a lot that they can wait here and you keep an eye on them. When they are with the doughnut lady, I know they are safe. I told him it wasn't a big deal. and that I enjoyed the kids.So I was the Doughnut Lady. I not only received a title, but became a landmark.Now I think about all the people who keep an eye on my own children. They become, well,Doughnut Ladies. Like the men at the skating rink (# ж 5) who let my boys ring home; Or the busd river who drove my daughter to her stop at the end of the route at night but wouldn't leave until I arrived to pick her up; Or that nice police officer who took pity on my boys walking home in the rain when I was at work even though the phone rang all the next day with calls from curious neighbors. “Was that a police car I saw at your house last night?”That wasn't a police car. That was a Doughnut Lady.56. According to the passage, the author sometimes_________.A. called the children's parents to pick them upB. provided schoolchildren with warm sheltersC. did business with the children's help.D. sold bus tickets to the children57. By saying “ ... it wasn’t a big deal” (in paragraph 4) the author meant that________.A. she hadn't found it hard to get along with the childrenB. she hadn’t made a lot of money from the childrenC. she hadn’t spent p lenty of time with the childrenD. she hadn't done anything very significant58. According to the author, those who ________ are Doughnut Ladies.A. are always ready to help othersB. provide free doughnuts for the poorC. work in the doughnut store for a whileD. are curious about the happenings around59. The passage suggests that________.A. taking responsibility is a virtueB. devotion co-exists with rewardC. running a business requires skillsD. acts of kindness are never too small(B)We offer a full range of services to make your 'IKEAexperience more complete.Old Kitchen Removing ServiceAre you going to buy a brand-new kitchen in IKEA?

A travel brochure.B. A food magazine.C.A shopping guide.D. A science journal.(C)What do you remember about your life before you were three? Few people can remember anything that happened to them in their early years. Adults memories of the next few years also tend to be unclear. Most people remember only a few events usually ones that were meaningful and distinctive,' such as being hospitalized or the birth of a new baby.How might this inability to recall early experiences be explained? The passage of time does not account for it, adultshave excellent recognition of pictures of people who attended high school with them 35 years earlier. Another seemingly reasonable explanation that infants do not form enduring memories at this point in development also is incorrect, Children two and a half to three years old remember experiences that occurred in their first year, and eleven month olds remember some events a year later.However, three other explanations seem more promising. One involves physiological changes relevant to memory. Maturation of the frontal lobes (额叶) of the brain continues throughout early childhood, and this part of the brain may be critical for remembering particular episodes in ways that can be recalled later. Demonstrations of infants and very young children's long-term memory have involved their repeating motor activities that they had seen or done earlier, such as reaching in the dark for objects, putting a bottle in a dolls mouth, or pulling apart two pieces of a toy. The brain's level of physiological maturation may support these types of memories, but not ones depending on clear verbal descriptions.A second explanation involves the influence of the social world on children's language use.Hearing and tellingstories about events may help children store information in ways that will endure into later childhood and adulthood. Through hearing stories with a clear beginning, middle, and ending children may. learn to take out the idea of events in ways that they will be able to describe many years later. Consistent with this view parents and children increasingly engage in discussions of past events when children are. about three years old. However, hearing such stories is not sufficient for younger children to form enduring memories. Telling such stories to two year olds does not seem to produce long-lasting verbalizable memories.A third likely explanation for infantile memory loss involves mismatch between the ways in which infants encode information and the ways in which older children and adults recall it. Whether people can remember an, event depends critically on the fit between the way in which they earlier encoded the information and the way in which they later attempt to recall it. The better the person is able to reconstruct the perspective from which the material was encoded, the more likely that recall will be successful.63. In the discussion of children's inability to recall earlyexperiences, paragraph 2 serves to ________.A. argue that the assumptions in this part have been morethoroughly researched than the theories presented later in the passageB. explain why some theories about infantile memory lossare wrong before presenting ones more likely to be trueC. explain why infantile memory loss is well worth theefforts of researchers both now and thenD. argue that events that are not proved by evidenceshould generally be considered unreliable64. What does paragraph 3 suggest about long-term memory in children?A. Young children have better long-term recall of short verbal exchanges than of long ones.B. Young children may form long- term memories of actionsthey see earlier than of things they hear or are told.C. Children long-term recall of motor activities increaseswhen such activities are accompanied by precise verbal descriptions.D. Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain is important for the long-term memory of motoractivities but not verbal descriptions.65. According to paragraph 4, what role may telling stories to children play in forming their childhood memories?A. It may speed up the physiological maturing of the brain.B. It may help preschool children to recall the past quickly.C. It may bring about their memory recovery later.D. It may strengthen children' s verbal capacities.66. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. It shows how physical maturation affects the memory.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A problem shared can be a problem doubledPeople discuss their problems with friends in the hope that they 'll gain some idea on how to solve them. And even if they don't find a way to solve their problems, it feels good to let off some steam.Indeed, having close friends to trust is a good relief against poor mental health. (67)__________.The term psychologist's use for negative problem sharing is co-rumination. Co-rumination is the mutual encouragement to discuss problems too much, repeatedlygoing over the same problems, expecting future problems and focusing on negative feelings. It is more about keeping talking about problems than solving them. (68)__________. In a study involving children aged seven to 15 years of age,researchers found that co-rumination in both boys and girls is associated with high-quality and close friendships. However, in girls, it was also associated with anxiety and depression (the same association was not found with the boys).If we look at the theory behind why individuals ruminate, it may shed some light on why friends co-ruminate.(69)__________. So if two people believe rumination is beneficial, then working together to co-ruminate to find answers may seem like a useful thing to do, as two heads may appear better than one. But focusing on problems and negative emotion together can increase negative beliefs and moods- and result in a greater need to co-ruminate.Traditionally, therapy has not prioritised handling rumination or co-rumination directly as maintaining' factors in psychological problems. Instead, approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) have aimed to challenge only the content of rumination. Humanistic approaches such ascounselling have provided conditions to potentiallyruminate on the content of problems. And psychodynamic (心理动力) approaches such as psychoanalysis have aimed to analyze the content of rumination.(70)__________. But if this occurs in therapy, a strong therapeutic relationship may well be a positiveoutcome of co-rumination regardless of whether the client's symptoms improve or not.And, on the social side, discussing problems with friends doesn’t always ha ve to lead to worsening mental health, as long as the discussion involves finding solutions and the person with the problem acts on those solutions. Then, relationships can be positive and beneficial to both parties, and a problem shared can really be a problem halved.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Could you be flexitarian?What kind of food do you eat? Are you conscious of the types of food you consume? Although there is research on theright diet to follow to help us maintain a healthy lifestyle but it's hard to know which one to pick and, once chosen, it's harder still to stick to it. And now there's another choice for you.A flexitarian diet involves eating plant-based foods and only occasionally eating meat and fish.This is a lovely alternative to being a vegetarian by not completely resisting meat.This eating style allows you to supplement some ingredients that you wouldn't get in a stricter vegan (纯素) diet. And like veganism, flexitarianism isn't about eating carefully to help you lose a few pounds it's something people choose for ethical reasons, to help the planet. And a study into the global food system and how it affects the climate, has found that eating mainly plant-based foods is one of three key steps towards a sustainable future for all.This research found that food waste will need to be halved and farming practices will also have to improve to achieve this. But without a single solution, a combined approach is needed. Dr. Marco Springmann, one of the lead authors of the report argued "We really found that a combination of measures would be needed to stay withinenvironmental limits and those include changes towards healthier more plant-based diets.While vegans think it's wrong for animals to be killed for. food, flexitarians believe eating meat once in a while is. acceptable. And Dr. Springmann agrees as long as we treat it as a luxury, it's probably acceptable but you shouldn't have more. than one. serving of red meat, which includes beef and pork, per week." And here's another fact to digest: If we moved to this type of diet, the study found that greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture would be cut by more than half.V.

While some farmers are quick to tell visitors to get off their land, David Walston is doing the opposite． He has donated land on his family farm to create two large community vegetable gardens and invited surrounding villages to get involved．"I thought the thing I can do fairly uniquely is provide the land and machinery to try to make people's lives better during the lockdown．" Mr Walston, 37, who runs Thriplow Farms, south of Cambridge, said． "The enthusiasm has surprised me a lot, with 114 people from five villages signing up．"The two 1, 000sqm areas will be open for anyone to help with any job that needs doing． A wide range of vegetables will be grown, includingpeas, broccoli, sweetcorn, squash, potatoes and leeks． In Mr Walston's scheme, which he has called Coveg, people can do as much or as little as they like and the produce will be shared, and any surplus given to the elderly and NHS workers． None of the produce will be sold and distribution will be only loosely linked to the amount of work done．He is lending his machinery for the backbreaking work． Farm suppliers are supporting the project, with Kings Seeds and Tozer donating seeds and Howseman Agriculture offering irrigation equipment．Claire Mackenzie, 47, a doctor from Barrington, has agreed to bring seeds in their own gardens to the community plots． She sees Coveg as a way of connecting local people to the countryside that surrounds them． "We live in an arable area but we often do not know our farmers． This is a brilliant way of pulling people together, " she said． She hopes to get her two teenage sons involved．Mr Walston's idea has already ________ three local farmers who also want to donate parcels of their land to contact him． They have a corner of land that would be suitable and machinery that would take the backbreaking work out of preparation． They can't wait to offer．（1）Which of the following was unexpected according to Mr Walston？________A The quality of people's lives．B The number of participants．C The decision to donate land．D The idea to create vegetable plots．．（2）How will the vegetables be distributed？________A On a one﹣to﹣one basis．B According to the family size．C On a first come，first served basis．D According to the amount of work done．．（3）What is Claire's attitude to vegetable garden project？________A Skeptical．B Cautious．C Ambiguous．D Favorable．．（4）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "prompted" in Paragraph 6？________A Inspired．B Discouraged．C Threatened．D Persuaded．3. For over a century, native Asian honeybees have been steadily pushed aside by the European species, which were introduced to China by beekeepers because the female workers are more focused on their job and produce more honey, which is also sweeter．However, the European species also carries a number of deadly diseases that can damage the natural habitat． Some researchers calculate that up to 80 per cent of China's native honeybee population has been lost since the first European bee farm in the country was established in the late 19th century．The sweeping expansion of Asia's European honeybee population causes an ecological crisis． After more than 70 million years of evolution, native Asian honeybees could pollinate（对……授粉）a wide range of plant species in the region． However, many Asian bee species across the region are now close to extinction, and that's a cause for concern as the flowers of many Asian plants are not recognised by European honeybees, which will cause fundamental changes in the ecological balance．A solution put forward by bee scientists was to draw a border between European and Asian honeybees． In some parts of China, bee farms are not allowed to use the European species, giving the native bees some breathing space．After years of decline, the Eastern honeybees are gaining a foothold, especially in mountains and warm, tropical areas． It is because I hey can deal with the real hardship of life． The Western honeybees． on the contrary, rely very much on the protection and care of humans． Without caretakers, they have little chance to survive in Asia, where hornets （大黄蜂）alone could wipe them out．The decline of Asian honeybees was alarming because of their important role in the food chain． Fewer bees mean fewer plants, fewer plants less food and less food fewer humans． We must take positive, sustainable steps towards protecting China's Asian honeybees．（1）What made China's native honeybees endangered？________A Overdevelopment of the land．B Introduction of European bees．C Pollution from cars and factories．D Lack of a variety of plant species．．（2）What can be inferred about many Asian plants from the third paragraph？________A They will not flower．B They might grow slowly．C They might not be pollinated．D They will harm the environment．．（3）What is basically typical of China's honeybees？________A Sociable．B Aggressive．C Productive．D Adaptable．．（4）What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？________A To analyse influence of European bees．B To urge protection of native Asian bees．C To suggest ways of limiting European bees．D To introduce comeback of native Asian bees．4. After at least five years of transporting you around the country, car batteries will now spend their retirement making you tea and toast and running your washing machine.Used electric car batteries are being changed into home energy storage units which can be linked to rooftop solar panels to keep lights on and devices running when the sun goes down. The plan between Honda and Snam, an Italian energy infrastructure company, will reuse or recycle thousands of batteries from electric and hybrid cars and trucks across Europe, with single batteries installed（安装）in homes and lines of them linked to wind farms to store electricity.They will also be used by homes and businesses on "time of use" electricity rates—to be charged up when electricity is cheap and used when the rate increases at times of peakdemand. The plan will help solve one of the biggest challenges for the rapidly growing electric car industry —how to deal with large batteries which contain valuable metals such as lithium and cobalt but are expensive to break down and recycle.Most have a warranty（保证）lasting five to eight years depending on how well they are managed and how often recharged. Used batteries have 50 to 90 per cent of their original capacity, according to Aceleron, which makes batteries that are easier to reuse and recycle. Amrit Chandan, its founder, said: "Transport is the largest source of carbon emissions in the UK, and in order to reduce carbon emissions, million electric vehicles are sold each year.

2024届山西省高考英语普通高等学招生全国统一考试模拟试题(三模)含答案
2024届山西省高考英语普通高等学招生全国统一考试模拟试题（三模）一、新添加的题型1、 New York City has many remarkable parks and open ces that are perfect for hanging out in warm weather. Here are four of our favorite places to take a scenic walk, plus where to eat nearby. Louis Valentino, Jr. Park Don’t let all of the factories fool you — Louis Valentino, Jr. Park has the best view of the Statue of Liberty. When you get hungry, stop by Red Hook Lobster Pound for mayo-coated lobster (龙虾). Sit at one of the cafe’s first come, first served outdoor tables, or eat on the waterfront. Riverside Park Stretching 4 miles from 72nd to 158th St, Riverside Park is perfect for hanging out along the Hudson River, enjoying beautiful views of New Jersey. If walking the whole way isn’t your thing, there’s a bike path too. Daily Provisions offers fantastic sandwich choices, like juicy chicken and smoked bacon. Central Park There are many reasons to walk through Central Park this spring: historic landmarks, great bird watching spots, and hanging out with friends. And while these are enjoyable activities, they’re even better with a pastrami sandwich from Pastrami Queen. Ridgewood Reservoir At Ridgewood Reservoir, you’ll find an easy hiking spot with a peaceful nature preserve and skyline views of Manhattan. After hiking, head to Rolo’s for various sandwich options. It has outdoor tables but no heaters, so you can take everything to go if it’s too cold out.【小题1】What is the best spot for enjoying views of the Statue of Liberty?【小题2】What makes Riverside Park an attractive destination?【小题3】Where is this article most likely sourced from?2、 Charlie Jeffers, 17, a senior at Redwood High School in Marin County, Calif., has loved Lego since age 4. His room is full of Lego bricks. Noticing his friends start throwing away their old Lego collections, he hatched a plan. “Legos are pricey,” he noted. “Many can’t afford them.”He started collecting unwanted Lego parts from friends and neighbors, spreading the word through community notices and door-to-door visits. The response was surprising. Donations of old Lego sets poured in, propelling Jeffers to formalize his efforts under the banner of Pass the Bricks. Together with a dedicated team of volunteers, Jeffers and his teammates carefully clean, sort, and repurpose collected Lego pieces into imaginative sets. These sets, each with roughly 20 to 60 pieces, are carefully made to create scenes such as blind dates or family photoshoots. Since its start in 2020, Pass the Bricks has made a significant success. With over 3,000 sets donated to date, Jeffers and his team are driven by two purposes: to reduce landfill waste and to provide Legos to children who might otherwise go without. Jeffers stresses the educational value of Lego, emphasizing its capacity to inspire creativity and learning. Pass the Bricks has since expanded its reach nationwide, with volunteers in several states distributing sets to local charities. To ensure each set is presented with care, Jeffers uses donations and personal funds from his job at a gym to purchase affordable cardboard gift boxes online. These sets, accompanied by instructions and a photo of the finished product, are distributed to various organizations and directly to children at local schools. Despite his approaching to college, Jeffers remains devoted to his commitment to Pass the Bricks. He plans to continue and expand the initiative, driven by a desire to share the joy and educational benefits of Lego with as many children as possible. “We’re grateful to share them with the kids and families we serve,” Jeffers expresses. Reflecting on his own Lego-filledchildhood, he acknowledges its profound influence. “I aim to provide others with the same chance,” he emphasizes, echoing his ongoing commitment to sharing the joy of Lego with all.【小题1】What is the primary purpose of Pass the Bricks?【小题2】Which best replaces the word “propelling” in paragraph 2?【小题3】How does Jeffers ensure that each set is presented with care?【小题4】What does Jeffers hope to achieve by continuing Pass the Bricks?3、 If you’re lucky enough to live near forests, you’ll know that it’s cooler under the trees during hot mid-days. Even if you live in a city with more buildings than trees, visiting a local park or garden can help you stay cool. A study from the University of Surrey in the UK found that botanical gardens can make city air cooler by up to 5 degrees Celsius. Wetlands and rain gardens aren’t far behind, cooling the air by about 4.7 and 4.5 degrees Celsius. Trees along streets also help, lowering air temperatures by 3.8 degrees Celsius, while city parks can make it 3.2 degrees Celsius cooler. The paper notes that an air temperature of 40.3℃ (104.5℉) broke records in the UK on July 19, 2022. Some 62, 862 deaths were linked to summer heat across Europe in the same year, while the2003 heatwave in Europe led to an economic loss of €16 billion due to drought and crop failures. According to the IPCC, “green and blue urban infrastructure (基础设施) elements, including parks, engineered greening projects, wetlands, green walls, and botanical gardens, are particularly effective in reducing air temperatures in cities”. We’ve already seen a number of architecture projects around the world employ large amounts of greenery to promote local cooling, along with beneficial landscaping. However, it’s important to recognize that there isn’t one simple solution to suit every site, and much will depend on effective planning. “Our paper confirms just how many ways there are to keep cool,” added Professor Maria de Fatima Andrade at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. "But it also reveals how much work is left to do. Institutions around the world need to invest in the right research-because what’s very clear from our study is that there is no universal solution. It depends on what works for your community.”【小题1】What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs?【小题2】Why does the author mention “Europe” in paragraph 3?【小题3】What does Professor Andrade emphasize about cooling solutions?【小题4】What might be a suitable title for the passage?4、 A team of scientists from the Center for Cognition and Sociality and the Data Science Group at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) made an exciting discovery about how computers and human brains work similarly when remembering things. They found out that the way artificial intelligence (AI) models, like those in smart robots, store memories is a lot like how our brain’s memory center, called the hippocampus (海马体), does it. This part of the brain is really important for feelings and memories. Understanding how AI learns and keeps information is key to making it smarter. The scientists looked into how our brains learn and remember by focusing on a special process involving the NMDA receptor, a critical part of the hippocampus. This receptor works like a smart door in our brain that helps with learning and remembering. It opens when certain brain chemicals are present, allowing the cell to receive signals and create memories. A specific element, magnesium, acts like a guard, only letting substances in under the right conditions. Interestingly, the team found that Transformer, a type of AI model, uses a similar “guarding”method to manage its memory. They wondered if they could make the Transformer’s memory better by copying the brain’s process. By adjusting some settings in the Transformer to mimic (模拟、模仿) the brain’s memory door, they improved its ability to remember things long-term, just like adjusting magnesium levels can affect how well we remember stuff. This discovery is a big deal because it shows we can use what we know about the brain to make AI smarter. C. Justin LEE, a neuroscience (神经学) director at the institute, mentioned that this research was a big step forward for both AI and brain science. It opens up new ways to understand how the brain works and to create more advanced AI based on these insights. So, in simple terms, scientists have figured out that computers can learn and remember in ways that are surprisingly similar to us, which could help make them even smarter in the future.【小题1】What does the term “NMDA receptor” in paragraph 2 most likely refer to?【小题2】What did the team discover about Transformer?【小题3】What is the significance of the research findings according to C. Justin LEE?【小题4】What is the main idea of the passage?5、How to Develop Critical Thinking Skills There’s no magic method to change your thinking processes. Improvement happens with small, intentional changes in your everyday habits until a more critical approach to thinking is automatic. Here are some tips for building stronger self-awareness and learning how to improve critical thinking: Be careful 【小题1】 . One of the key principles of critical thinking is asking questions and analyzing the available information. You might surprise yourself at what you find when you stop tothink before taking action. Before making a decision, use evidence, logic, and reasoning to support your own opinions or challenge ideas. 【小题2】 . Ask open-ended questions “Yes” or “no” questions invite agreement rather than reflection. 【小题3】 . Digging deeper can help you identify potential biases, uncover assumptions, and arrive at new possible solutions. Learn to be quiet Active listening is the intentional practice of concentrating on a conversation partner instead of your own thoughts. 【小题4】 . If you’re brainstorming with your team or having a 1:1 with a coworker, listen, ask clarifying questions, and work to understand other people’s viewpoints. This will help you find weaknesses in arguments for better solutions. Put it down Recording your thoughts with pen and paper can lead to stronger brain activity than typing them out on a keyboard. If you’re stuck and want to think more critically about a problem, writing your ideas can help you process information more deeply. 【小题5】 . Ideas are more likely to remain in the background of your mind, leading to deeper thinking that informs your decision-making process.6、 One sunny afternoon, Lily found a lost kitten hiding behind a bush.
