2024届江苏省苏锡常镇四市高三下学期二模英语试题

2024届江苏省苏锡常镇四市高三下学期二模英语试题

2024届江苏省苏锡常镇四市高三下学期二模英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Summer camps everywhere are filling up fast,but opportunities remain open for camps where fun and games come around food-growing it,that is.Your kids will learn how to tend to vegetables and livestock(家畜)and almost certainly taste the fruits of their labor.Here’s a small sampling of what’s out there.Muscot,New YorkThis farm,offers a half-day Wangler Camp for kids(a livestock-centred experience)and a two-week long Young Farmers camp for kids in grades one through eight.Camps range from$150for weeklong half-day sessions to$350for full-day sessions Sproutai’Up,ColoradoAn agriculture farm with a focus on education,Sprout’Up offers skill-building programs for teens throughout the year, but their summer camp for kids is all about fun.In addition to farm activities the kids spend time at a local climbing gym. Three weekly half-day sessions are available for half-day sessions are available for$200each.Humboldt,California Located north of San Francisco,this sleepaway camp spreads out over several hundredacres in the coastal hills of Sonoma County.The lodging(住处)is tent-style,with outdoorshowers.A range of farm activities are available throughout the summer.Alegre,GeorgiaYour kids will clean and brush a horse,and learn to milk a goat at this camp.Three-daysessions(mornings only) cost$125,and parents can attend with their children for an extrafee.1.Which camp best suits kids who enjoy climbing?A.Museum.B.Sprout’Up.C.Humbold.D.Alge.2.What can kids do in Alegre?A.Interact with animals.B.Have sessions in the afternoon.C.Sleep in tents at night.D.Enjoy the scenery of coastal hills.3.What do the four camps have in common?A.They provide full-day camps.B.They offer farm-themed camps.C.They are located in the same state.D.They focus on health education.Deforestatio—by clear-cutting or wildfires—has massive consequences both on climate and health.But leaving reforestation to Mother Nature can take decades,particularly as disastrous wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity.And the time,cost and labor involved makes traditional methods of tree planting not as practical as they once were.Bryce Jones knows how hard it is to replant forests.For four months in2013,he worked as a tree planter throughout Canada.“There’s no technology there,”he says.“The only way you can accomplish reforestation is throughthe air.”But it wasn’t until2019that he hit on the one that he thought had potential:use drones(无人机)to fire specially designed seed pods(荚)into the ground-at10times the normal temperature and costing20percent less than traditional methods.He proposed the idea to his brother and Flash Forcer was born.His first goal was to plant a billion trees by 2025.The team took out a loan,bought a drone and used3D printers at Jones’s school to make casts of the pods.Now, only two and a half years later,the company has a group of drones with each able to carry several thousand pods per flight.Three operators work in a field,controlling five drones,whose flight take15to20minutes.Flash Forcer’s big draw is its seed pod,which contains everything seedlings(幼苗)need to survive survival.And its technology allows them to reach post-burn sites or remote areas that are difficult for traditional tree planting.There are challenges every day,Jones says,as they work to improve the engineering,hardware,software and seed-pod recipes.Then there are the challenges presented by the climate—this year,record temperatures,record wildfires and drought.“That was something that was totally out of our control,”he says.Unlike some traditional forms of reforestation,Flash Forcer is focused on biodiversity.For Jones,the target of planting a billion trees by2025is just the beginning.“I have a dream that the company will plant on six continents—everywhere where our technology is needed,”he says.4.What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph1?A.The benefits of reforestation.B.The power of AI machines.C.The way of putting out wildfires.D.The necessity of using new planting methods.5.What contributes to the particular appeal of Flash Forest?A.Its drone operators.B.The frequent flights.C.Its seed pod.D.The low cost of seedlings.6.What does the underlined word“that”in paragraph4refer to?A.Extreme weather.B.Drone technology.C.3D equipment.D.Computer software.7.What can we infer about Flash Forest from the last paragraph?A.It changed its focus in the past.B.It will achieve its final target in2025.C.It might be available worldwide one day.D.It has replaced traditional forms of reforestation.The human voice is a delicate thing.Each person’s distinctive voice is produced when air from the lungs causesthe vocal cords(声带)to vibrate(震颤).These vocal cords can easily get damaged.According to a2005study,30%of the population will experience a voice disorder at some point in their life.In a study published in the journal Nature Communications this week,a group of bioengineering researchers from the University of California have put forward an attractive solution.They have designed and tested a soft patch(小片) that can be stuck onto a person’s neck,where it will pick up muscle movements and,with the help of machine-learning algorithms(算法)that process the signals,translate them into speech.When a person loses their voice today,the easiest fix is to turn to typing,texting,or writing notes to communicate. Typing can be slow and convenient,says Jun Chen,the paper’s lead author,and writing notes is only possible in good lighting.The new solution would therefore be able to clear all these hurdles.Dr.Chen’s device works based on something called the magnetoelastic effect.Essentially,when tiny magnetic(磁性的)bits are placed into soft materials,their magnetic properties can change as the material is stretched.When the throat muscles move under the soft patch,the resulting magnetoelastic effects can be changed into electrical signals.In a test with eight participants,the variations can be changed by electrical signals.Researchers recorded the signals as the subjects spoke and mouthed five different sentences.They then trained a machine-learning model which was then able to predict which of the five sentences the participants spoke-whether aloud or in silence-with more than90%accuracy.There is a way to go yet,for now the device can only recognize the five phrases it was trained on.Plus,to make it practical at scale,the researchers will need to collect a lot more data.8.In paragraph1,the author mainly wants to tell us that____.A.lungs are easily damagedB.the human voice is uniqueC.vocal cords vibrate to produce soundD.voice disorders are a problem worthy of attention9.Why does the author mention the biometric effect?A.To explain the working principle.B.To present a solution.C.To introduce the challenge.D.To make a comparison.10.What is the function of the soft patch?A.Predicting five different sentences.B.destroying the background magnetic field.C.Slowing the movements of throat muscles.D.Helping turn muscle movements into electrical signals.11.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Predicting the Importance of Voice RestorationB.Using Algorithms in Bioengineering ResearchC.Overcoming Voice Loss with an innovative PatchD.Finding the Principle of Communication DevicesIn recent years,much of my life as a consumer has shifted to what I like to call background.As I’ve subscribed to more apps and streaming platforms,significant sums of my money tend to slip away each month without my ever thinking about it.Think of it as an automated trade.Spending without the trouble of spending.Acquaint ion without action.Or thought.But while this flood of subscriptions was sold to me on the condition that it would make my life more trouble-free, there was a certain shock I felt upon discovering how much I was spending without realizing each month($179.45).You see,the thing about background spending is that it tends to happen,well,in the background without your full attention.And there lies the point.“Hand over your credit card details and let us take care of the rest,”these companies promote.But by again sing their name,we’ve become lazy,positive consumers.And this laziness breeds(导致)more laziness because most of us can’t be bothered with conducting regular reviews of our subscription spending.We’re too lazy to even notice or cancel it!I know it’s not just me who is suddenly living life as a smart-braised subscriber.The average consumer spends $273per month on subscriptions,according to a2021study of2,500by digital services firm West Morose.Not a single person surveyed knew what his actually monthly spending was.It’s understandable why this model is so attractive to businesses.As companies questioned traditional advertising models,subscription offered the promise of“selling once and earning forever.”And while subscription services have been around for decades(think Wine of the Month Club),more customers have been willing to sign up thanks to the widespread availability of smartphones and the increasing ease of home delivery.While these subscription promise ease and happiness,not all of us are st year,the Kameny Institute found40percent of consumer believe they have too many subscriptions.Almost half of us also think we pay too much for streaming video-on-demand subscriptions.12.What can we know about background spending in paragraph2?A.Its purpose.B.Its feature.C.Its procedure.D.Its requirement.13.What makes it possible for background spending to happen?A.Its attractive price.B.Some people’s poor habit.C.Its secure service.D.Some people’s addiction to it.14.Why is the subscription model appealing to businesses?A.It offers good home delivery services.B.It is like traditional advertising models.C.It is popular among smartphone producers.D.It brings repeated profits through a single sale.15.What’s the author’s attitude towards background spending?A.Supportive.B.Doubtful.C.Critical.D.Unclear.If you are trying to assess a person’s character,make sure you do not rely too heavily on factors that can be misleading.Instead,observe the individual’s ability to tell the truth and to commit.16You can tell a lot about a person’s character by observing how he treats other people.17It may be difficult to determine how he treats different types of people if you only encounter him in a single environment,such as the workplace.It is often possible,however,to get some idea of his manner of interaction with different types of people through conversation with him.Whether or not a person is honest says a lot about his character.The attitude a person has about honesty can also indicate what type of person he is.18To some degree the types of lies he may tell and his motives for doing so matter.19The word“commitment”often causes people to instantly think of close relationships.Whether a person can respect the vows(誓约)and agreements is usually an indication of character.A person’s character is affected by his attitude.20Attitude can affect many aspects of a person’s life, including how hard he works and his ability to be supportive of others.When you are trying to assess someone’s character,remember that it consists of qualities and habits that form his identity.A.More importantly,it’s necessary to continue his inner struggle.B.The level of commitment indicates the type of character he has.C.There are many other things in life that may require commitment.D.This includes both people he knows and people he does not know.E.Also,pay attention to his attitude and try to distinguish how it impacts his life.F.Observe the person’s conversations and try to determine how often he tells lies.G.Some people generally have a negative outlook while others may try to be positive even in difficult situations.二、完形填空Glen Edwards became a hero when he rescued a construction worker trapped on top of a160-meter-high building.As a crane(吊车)21working on a construction site,Edwards22found himself in a life-saving mission when a fire broke out.He recalled how he23the trapped worker from his crane’s

2023届辽宁省沈阳市高中高三下学期二模英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解In Singapore,it seems like art is at every turn.Look closely and you’ll discover masterpieces in front of an office building,a walkway,and even on a rooftop garden,where everyone can appreciate them up close.In order to further promote art,festivals are held throughout the year.Here are some of the biggest art draws to come.ARTWALKWhen:January An annual public art festival,Artwalk takes place in the culturally rich neighborhoods of Little India and Katong-Joo Chiat.Visitors can learn about the food,stories and history of two of Singapore’s most distinct communities on guided walking tours.They can even experience art and culture up close with hands—on workshops with local artists,storytellers and cultural experts.ART SGWhen:March During the biggest art fair in Southeast Asia,more than150of the world’s best galleries will showcase their collection of more than1,000artists.The film section will feature panel discussions,experimental films,and new film—making practices.Some galleries will also present digital technology artworks like AR,VR,and NFTs.SINGAPORE BIENNALEWhen:July The Singapore Biennale is a dynamic event that encourages folks to see art in a new light through interactive installations and exhibitions.The highlights include art tours,air performances,a film installation and various exhibitions.SINGAPORE NIGHTWhen:August During this party-like night festival,the Bras Basah-Bugis business street lights up for this multi-dimensional art festival with diverse light installations(装置).Building walls provide larger-than-life canvases(画布)for shows;underground tunnels are brilliant with lights.Art and creativity blossom through a passion for experiments.1.What can visitors do in ARTWALK?A.Try out global cuisines.B.Join in interactive activities.C.Organize walking tours.D.Visit museums and galleries. 2.What can we learn about ART SG?A.It is the biggest Asian festival.B.It features air performances.C.It covers a variety of art forms.D.It showcases high technology. 3.When should visitors go to Singapore if they want to enjoy light shows?A.In January.B.In March.C.In July.D.In August.Today,I’ve been recording an audiobook.I am excited that I have realized my life-long dream.I will never forget at primary school I used to wait with breathless anticipation to take my turn reading out a paragraph of great works in front.At my secondary school,when students were encouraged to select and present a reading at“morning talk”,I often added my name to the list.This was all handy background for my career in broadcasting.But,much as I enjoy hosting shows and interviewing people,I often find myself missing the simple pleasures of reading out loud.I’d thought about putting myself forward as a narrator(朗读者)for audiobooks.But I’m not an actor.I can’t do regional accents or play female voice. Non-fiction,then,seemed the obvious target,but I felt that such books were best read by their authors.If it were authors’own voice,their stories would touch me.Recently,delivering my son’s nightly bedtime story has reawakened my love for reading out loud—highlights so far have included Charlotte’s Web.But I never thought I’d get the opportunity to do it professionally.Then,last month,I was contacted by James Plunkett,author of End State,a forthcoming book about political ideas.He had no desire to read his book out loud,but as a fan of my program,he thought I might do a reasonable job.So,I’ve spent this week in a studio,simply reading stuff out loud.And I’m LOVING IT!Mind you,it’s an entirely unexpected experience.It’s disheartening when the recording needs to be stopped because I’ve just carelessly skipped over a‘the’,or had to clear my throat,or catch my breath.I’ve also learned how many words I’ve been mispronouncing my entire life:behavioral is BE-HAYVE-YOU-RAL,not BE-HAYVE-EE-AH-RUL.Though tackling this339-page book doesn’t turn out to be that easy,I’ve found the whole process awesome,and hope this becomes the first of many.4.What does the author want to show by mentioning his experiences at school?A.The purpose of schooling.B.His love for reading aloud.C.The power of encouragement.D.His talent for silent reading. 5.What can we learn about the author from paragraph3?A.He regrets being a TV host.B.He doesn’t like non-fiction at all.C.He lacks working experience.D.He is aware of his disadvantages. 6.Why could the author get the job as a narrator?A.Because he was specifically invited.B.Because he applied for it in person.C.Because he read many bedtime stories.D.Because he had a big crowd of fans. 7.What does the author think of being a narrator?A.Frightening but profitable.B.Rewarding but unsafe.C.Demanding but enjoyable.D.Promising but unstable.People who give,live longer,studies have shown.Now,a new study by University of Michigan researchers shows that why people volunteer—not whether they volunteer—is what really counts.For the study,Konrath and colleagues analyzed data collected in2008and2012aiming at the same random samples of3,376people.Overall,they found that just2.3percent of those who once worked as volunteers had died,compared to4.3percent of non-volunteers.They further found that how much people volunteered mattered as well—only1.8percent of regular volunteers died,compared with2.5percent of occasional volunteers.But what really made a difference were people’s motives for volunteering.The researchers asked people to rate how important they found various reasons for volunteering, and they found that the more important people rated reasons such as feeling pity for people in need,the more likely they were to be alive.Those who rated motives related to personal benefit as more important were more likely to have died,and just as likely to die as those who didn’t volunteer at all.These reasons included volunteering because they enjoyed the social contact,to escape their own problems,or to explore their own strengths.Konrath says the current findings suggest it may be a poor idea to encourage people to volunteer because it’s good for them.“Volunteering is increasingly being encouraged indecrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur.“Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question:What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing,huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming,rather than limiting it,”said Nadya Shiffer,Swot’s program scientist.By comparison,earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points,or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line,requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation(外推法).Thanks to the radar instrument,Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth.This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.“Rather than giving us a line of elevations,it’s giving us a map of elevations,and that’s just a total gamechanger,”said Tamlin Pavelsky,Swot freshwater science leader. 12.What does the underlined expression“vital resource”in the first paragraph refer to?A.Technology.B.Climate.C.Oceans.D.Water. 13.What is the major mission of Swot satellite?A.To identify when global warming is worsened.B.To explore where oceans absorb heat and CO2.C.To study how oceans influence climate change.D.To explain why greenhouse gas comes into being.14.What makes it possible for Swot to measure precisely?A.The high-definition computer.B.Advanced radar technology.C.The three-dimensional image.D.An accurate map of elevations. 15.Which can be the best title for the text?A.A Solution to Climate Change.B.A Breakthrough in Space Travel.C.Successful Launch of Swot Satellite.D.First Global Water Survey from

虹口区2023学年度第二学期期中学生学习能力诊断测试高三英语试卷II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.No Filming at Concerts and Movie Theaters on Phones “Please, no flash photography.”Polite requests like this can be found in museums all over the world, but they generally don’t discourage people from taking photos of ____21____ they feel like. The same goes for concerts, movie theaters and other places ____22____ people routinely ignore filming restrictions. A new patent from Apple may block that rule-breaking feature—on phones at least.The patent, ____23____ (award) to Apple today, outlines a system which would allow venues, like concert halls or theaters, to use an infrared emitter (红外发射器) to remotely disable the camera function on smartphones. According to the patent, infrared beams could be picked up by the camera, and interpreted by thesmartphone as a command ____24____ (block) the user from taking any photos or videos.Many musicians and performers have banned cellphones from their shows ____25____ they object to the free footage circulating around the web. ____26____ this, images still manage to leak out. Prince’s last concert before he passed away in April was supposed to be cellphone-free—it apparently wasn’t. If Apple’s patent ____27____ (introduce) into iPhone software, with venues putting infrared emitters around their stage, leaks like this could potentially stop happening.But the patent also raises questions about the sort of power that this technology would be handing over to ____28____ with more immoral intentions.Given the company’s rigid support of personal privacy when it comes to police requests to break into users’ devices, it’s possible that Apple just ____29____ (patent) the technology so that no one else will use it. But who knows, if it does intend to introduce this feature to future operating systems, sales of camcorders, or even GoPros, could get a much-needed boost, as people try to avoid _____30_____ (use) the prohibitive software.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from thebox. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. chaosB. consumeC. plentifulD. dischargeE. evolutionarilyF. extentG. freezeH. mechanismI. novelJ. subsequentlyK. unstable Science in ImagesOyster mushrooms feature in cuisines around the world, but they should be off the menu for hungry worms -- which these delicious mushrooms will kill and eat. Now researchers finally know how they do it.A study published in Science Advances details how oyster mushrooms use a particular poisonous substance to freeze and get rid of mushroom-eating roundworms called nematodes (线虫). The mushrooms, which grow on nutrient-poor dead wood, then ___31___ the worms for nutrition.“Nematodes happen to be the most ___32___ animals these mushrooms encounter. So I think, ___33___, this cross-kingdom interaction is very interesting,” says study senior author.The study team of geneticists, biochemists and biologists had previously found that oyster mushrooms release an unidentified poisonous substance that will somehow ___34___ the worms within minutes and cause a chemical element to flow into their cells, killing them. This ___35___ differs from those used by othermeat-eating mushrooms and could be unique to oyster mushrooms.For their new work, the researchers grew and analyzed samples of the mushroom’s tissue, finding no noticeable poison even when they broke it up. They reasoned that whatever was killing the worms must be a kind of ___36___ compound that disappears into air when disturbed. When they damaged the oyster mushroom tissue again and ___37___ analyzed the nearby air, they finally found a nerve gas that turned out to be contained with tiny, special-shaped structures on the mushroom surface. When nematodes touch the mushrooms, these structures ___38___ their gas, disturbing the worms’ cell walls to cause immobility and death. The worm is then digested by the mushrooms.Before this study, “we underestimated the ___39___ to which wild mushrooms defend against or c onsume nematodes,” notes Nick Talbot, a geneticist at Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich, England. The study demonstrates “a very ____40____ approach,” he adds. “These organisms are really difficult to work on, and Dr. Hsueh is showing that you can do some re ally amazing work with them.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are fourwords or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In the middle of 2023, a study conducted by the HuthLab at the University of Texas sent shockwaves through the fields of neuroscience (神经科学) and technology. For the first time, the thoughts and impressions of people ___41___ to communicate with the outside world were translated into continuous natural language, using a combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and brain imaging technology. This is the closest science has yet come to ___42___ someone’s mind.Losing the ability to communicate is a deep cut to one’s sen se of self. ___43___ this ability gives the patient greater control over their lives. But it could also give other entities, such as corporations, researchers and other third parties, a(n) ___44___ degree of insight into, or even control over, the lives of patients. The NeuroRights Foundation, based at Columbia University in New York, argues that new rights surrounding neurotechnologies will be ___45___ for all humans to preserve their privacy, identity, and free will. The potential ___46___ of disabled patients makes this a particularly important problem.___47___ this approach, Chile was the first country that adopted legislation, drafting new laws, to address the risks ofneurotechnology. It not only introduced a new constitutional right to mental ___48___, but is also in the process of adopting a bill that bans selling neurodata, and forces all neurotech devices to be regulated as medical devices, even those intended for the general consumer.The proposed legislation recognizes the intensely ___49___ nature of neural data and considers it as organ tissues, which cannot be bought or sold, only donated. But this legislation has also faced ____50____, with legal scholars questioning the need for new rights and pointing out that it could discourage beneficial brain research for disabled patients.While the legal action taken by Chile is the most impactful and ____51____ to date, other countries are considering updating existing laws to face the new developments in neurotechnologies. And while it is likely that the first applications of neurotech will be medical, future ____52____ are likely to involve consumer applications such as entertainment, as well as for military and security purposes. The growing ____53____ of neurotechnology in a commercial context only causes more legal concerns.Different people, societies, and cultures will disagree on where to draw the line. We are at a(n) ____54____ stage of technological development. And as we begin to uncover the great potential ofbrain science, the need to consider their implications for legal action becomes more ____55____.41. A. eager B. ready C. unwilling D. unable42.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the onethat fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I used to think I was a good person. I was caring to my friends, my partner, my family; I gave to charity and I volunteered. But when I started training to become a therapist (治疗师), I began to understand that however much we might like to think of ourselves as good people, we don’t actually know ourselves very well. I learned about how we might, without consciously realizing it, deny the feelings and motivations we consider to be bad, pushing them down into our unconscious and projecting them out on to others, so they become the bad people. I learned that deep in the human mind, alongside love and kindness, run currents of anger, need, greed, envy, destructiveness, superiority—whether we want to acknowledge them or not.It was 22-year-old Boru who taught me what it really means to be a good grown up. We first spoke two years ago. He was unemployed, living with his parents, watching his friends’ lives progress. A good grown-up, he told me, is “someone who has his ducks in a row”—and that wasn’t him.I also didn’t feel like the competent, confident grown-up I thought I should be—and neither did most of the adults I knew. Iresearched statistics about people hitting the traditional landmarks of adulthood later and later, if at all—from buying a home to getting married or starting a family. I recognized what made me feel like a bad grown-up: that I’ll sit with a broken fridge rather than call an engineer to repair it.Then I saw Boru again. He told me how, over two years, he’d found a job he loves, rented a flat with a friend. He’s now cycling round the world, having adventures that will keep him strong for the rest of his life. So what changed “You start to have those conversations with yourself, and you become more of an honest person. I don’t feel like I’m hiding from anything anymore, because I’m not hiding from myself.”I think growing up must involve finding your own way to have those conversations. Boru does it on his bike, I do it in psychoanalysis, others I spoke to do it while cooking or playing music. That, for Boru, and for me, is what it means to “have his ducks in a row”.56. What does the first paragraph imply about understanding ourselvesA. Recognizing our positive traits is enough for growth.B. Our understanding of our motives and feelings is accurate.C. True self-awareness means accepting both good and bad sides.D. Ignoring our negative traits does not affect our self-perception.57. What critical lesson did the author learn from Boru about beinga good grown-upA. It involves having a clear career path and financial stability.B. It requires constant self-improvement and education.C. It means being employed and living independently.D. It is like a journey of self-discovery and honesty.58. What does the author identify as a reason for feeling like an inadequate adultA. Escaping basic responsibilities.B. Delaying reaching traditional life milestones.C. Comparing personal achievements to others.D. Investigating changing patterns of adult life.59. Which of the following might be the best title of the passageA. Why Hide HarmsB. How to Be Better AdultsC. Why Growing up MattersD. How to Have Effective Conversations(B)Guided Desert AdventureTypical desert activities like sandboarding, dune bashing and quad bikingWith this tour, you’ll have half a day of adventure activities in the desert.You’ll start your tour b y driving to a scenic spot on the top of a tall sand dune (沙丘) for a chance to take photos of the area. On top of a sand dune, you’ll have the chance to slide down the side by sandboarding. From here, you’ll get ready for hitting some dunes in a four-wheel drive vehicle. Next, you’ll hop on a quad bike and have time to drive around the desert in the open air. Finally, you’ll have a camel ride around a small part of the desert.What’s includedPickup and drop-off20 minutes of sandboarding35 minutes of dune bashing25 minutes of quad biking10-minute camel rideWater and soft drinksA drive through a camel farmAdditional informationRequires a high level of physical fitness.Not suitable for children between 0 and 5.Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.Tours starting after noon include a BBQ dinner with sweets andfruits, which costs an additional US$ 45/person only.60.

The place is cool, easy to find and get to with metro.D. Arrive early for tickets to avoid a long queue.(C)Pricing is managers’ biggest marketing headache. It’s where they feel the most pressure to perform and the least certain that they are doing a good job. All successful pricing efforts share two qualities: The policy combines well with the company’s overall marketing strategy, and the process is well-organized as a whole.A company’s pricing policy sends a message to the market—itgives customers an i mportant sense of a company’s philosophy. Consider Saturn Corporation (a wholly owned company of General Motors). Saturn wants to let consumers know that it is friendly and easy to do business with. Part of this concept is conveyed through initiatives such as inviting customers to the factory to see where the cars are made and sponsoring evenings at the dealership that combine a social event with training on car maintenance. But Saturn’s pricing policy sends a strong message as well. Can a friendly, trusting relationship be established with customers if a salesperson uses all the negotiating tricks in the book to try to separate them from that last $100 Of course not. Saturn has a “no hassle, no haggle” policy which removes the possibility of conflicts between dealer and potential customer. Customers have an easier time buying a car knowing that the next person in the door won’t negotiate a better deal.Of course, there are typically many participants in the pricing process: Accounting provides cost estimates; marketing communicates the pricing strategy; sales provides specific customer input; production sets supply boundaries; and finance establishes the requirements for the entire company’s financial health. Input from diverse sources is necessary. However, problems arise when the philosophy of wide participation is carried over tothe price-setting process without strong coordinating mechanisms (协调机制). For example, if the marketing department sets list prices, the salespeople negotiate discounts in the field, the legal department adjusts prices if necessary to prevent breaking the laws or contractual agreements, and the people filling orders negotiate price adjustments for delays in shipment, everybody’s best intentions usually end up bringing about less than the best results. In fact, the company may actually lose money on some orders. 63. Why is it essential for a company’s pricing policy to combine with its overall marketing strategyA. To maximize possible returns and profits.B. To maintain consistency in business operations.C. To eliminate the need for diverse sales inputs.D. To attract customers to social events and trainings.64. What does Saturn’s “no hassle, no haggle” policy (paragraph 2) most probably meanA. Saturn trains its dealers to treat customers sincerely.B. Saturn offers discounts to some loyal customers.C. Saturn cars are at least $100 cheaper than other cars.D. Saturn cars are sold at fixed, non-negotiable prices.65 What can be inferred from the wide participation in the pricing processA. Decision making requires gathering comprehensive information.B. The coordinating mechanism won’t work without a lot of input.C. Potential customers are easily upset at any stage of the process.D. The company loses money unless everyone intends for the best.66. Which of the following is the best title for this passageA. The art of coordinating pricing processesB. The best sales negotiation techniquesC Getting one step closer toward better pricingD. Maximizing profits through pricing policiesSection 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. Your Life Is Better Than You ThinkThe undeniable popularity of self-help books, wellness podcasts, and happiness workshops reflects the constant human desire to make life better. ______67______While we may have a loving family a good place to live, and a decent job, we often fail to notice those things. It’s not because we are ungrateful or stupid, but it’s because of a basic feature of our brain, known as habituation.Habituation is the tendency of neurons to fire less and less inresponse to things that are constant. You enter a room filled with roses and after a short while, you cannot detect their scent any longer; and just as you get used to the smell of fresh flowers, you also get used to a loving relationship, to a promotion, to a nice home, to a wonderful work of art. Like the front page of a daily newspaper, your brain cares about what recently changed, not about what remained the same. ______68______ You habituate to it—you fail to notice and respond to elements of your life which you previously found amazing.______69______ That is, you can suddenly start perceiving and responding to things to which you have become desensitized. The key is taking small breaks from your daily life. For example, when people return home from a long business trip, they often find their old life has “reshined.” Ordinary thi ngs suddenly seem amazing. If something is constant, we often assume (perhaps unconsciously) that it is there to stay, and as a result, we focus our attention and effort on the next thing on our list. ______70______ If it is good at its core, it may just reshine. This is why time away, however short, will enable you to perceive your life with fresh eyes—and to break up reality.A. And so, what once took your breath away becomes part of life’s furniture.B. But could it be that many of our lives are already better than we recognizeC. Habituation to the good drives you to move forward and progress.D. But if we can make the constant less so, our attention will naturally turn back to it.E. Rather than focus on how to see our life better, we need to learn to better our life.F. The good news is that you can dishabituate.IV. Summary Writing71. Directions: 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.Why Ear-worms Get Stuck in Your HeadWe all get a sensation when a song, for no apparent reason, refuses to leave your head —in fact we’re no strangers to the dreaded “ear-worm.” But a new study published in Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity and the Arts reveals a fascinating insight into ear-worms, and why some songs are better than others in sticking in our heads by investigating the actual elements of the song that make it catchy in the first place.To do this, most frequent ear-worms of the participants wereentered into a database and compared to songs that had never been reported as an ear-worm at all. The melodic features of the tunes were then analyzed, revealing that ear-worm tunes were typically those songs that have overall melodic shapes common in Western pop music. A classic example of a common contour (音调的升降曲线) pattern is heard in Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, where the first phrase rises in pitch and the second falls. This makes the tune easy to remember and has been exploited in many other nursery rhymes, but also in pop music.In addition to the melodic shape, the other ingredient to the ear-worm formula is the unusual interval structure. The aim of this is to surpass the listener’s expectations of an average pop song, showing unexpected leaps or more repeated notes than usual. “Our findings show that you can, to some extent, predict which songs are going to get stuck in people’s heads based on the song’s melodic content,” says one of the researchers, “This could help song-writers or advertisers write a jingle (短歌) everyone will remember for days or months afterwards.”The authors conclude that studies of ear-worms can help explain how the brain works, and improve our understanding in how perception, emotions, memory and spontaneous thoughts behave in different people._______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _________________________V.

Mary Jordan was only three years old, so she stayed in the house waiting by a window. Her brother David was helping his father to let off the fireworks. At first there was no trouble and David held some of the fireworks up so that his small sister could see them clearly. Then Mr. Jordan took a big rocket and put it in an empty bottle. “I’ll light this one,” he told his son. “I don’t want you to burn your hand.”He put the bottle in some soft earth and lit the fuse(导火线) near the top of the rocket. Just at that moment two things happened. The wind blew the bottle on its side, and a neighbour, Mr. Franks, came out to look at his garden. With noise the rocket jumped form the bottle and shot straight toward Mr. Franks, who had his back to it. Mr. Jordan could not shout a warning to his neighbour, because Mr. Franks might turn around and the rocket would hit him in the face. For a few seconds Mr. Jordan stared in fear. Then, at the last moment, Mr. Franks bent down to look at a flower. The rocket shot over him and disappeared in the sky. Mr. Jordan was amazed.
