Here is an incredible 2-day itinerary (行程) that enables you to see Yellowstone’s best in just one weekend.DAY ONE●Lamar Valley: This grassy valley supports huge numbers of bears, wolves, deer, bisons, coyotes and bald eagles. To see a wolf, get up before sunrise and head to Lamar Valley in the park’s northeast corner.●Mammoth Hot Springs: Near the park's north entrance, stop at Mammoth Hot Springs where you can see colorful terraces (梯形地貌) formed by hot springs rising to the surface. You’ll see about 50 hot springs as you follow the boardwalks for 1.75 miles.●Old Faithful Inn: A trip to Yellowstone wouldn’t be complete without seeing one of the largest log structures in the world. Built from 1903 to 1904, the Old Faithful Inn is an amazing hotel worth visiting.DAY TWO●Grand Prismatic: Head to Midway Geyser Basin and walk along the boardwalk to see one of the world’s largest and deepest hot springs — Grand Prismatic Spring. It’s larger than a football field at 370 feet across and deeper than a 10-story building at 125 feet. Its colors are incredible and range from deep blue in the center to green to yellow and orange on the edges.●Yellowstone Lake: When you feel hungry, head for Yellowstone Lake, which has 141 miles of shoreline. Thirteen picnic areas line the lake’s shores. Be ready to enjoy a peaceful picnic.●Giant Waterfalls: The powerful Yellowstone River formed the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone which is home to three incredible waterfalls: Upper, Lower and Crystal falls. Seeing the waterfalls in the late afternoon or early evening light is breathtaking.1．Which of the following is the best place for watching wildlife?A．Lamar Valley.B．Giant Waterfalls.C．Grand Prismatic.D．Mammoth Hot Springs.2．What is the highlight of Old Faithful Inn?A．Its short history.B．Its surrounding wonders.C．Its modern design.D．Its unique architecture.3．What do we know about Grand Prismatic?A．It is blue on the edges.B．It is perfect for a picnic.C．It is very large in size.D．It owns three waterfalls.When Ben Edlavitch was in elementary school, his grandfather, David Levine, got him his first Lego set. Growing up in Richmond, Edlavitch enjoyed plenty of quality time with his grandfather. From Edlavitch’s young age, the two shared countless hours tending to Levine’s 1926 Ford Model A, which developed in them a working rapport (融洽) that served them well when they participated as contestants on the fourth season of Lego Masters, a reality competition show on Fox, in the fall of 2023.Edlavitch and Levine were among 12 teams chosen from over 2,000 applicants to appear on the show, hosted by Lego Batman himself, Will Arnett. Over the course of the show, the teams were tasked with creating original builds for a chance to win $100,000 and the title of Lego Master. To prepare for it, Edlavitch says, “We spent a lot of time together figuring out Lego techniques... We studied past seasons to see what the judges liked and responded to.”For Edlavitch, 21, a student at the University of Virginia studying community-focused architecture, Lego bricks build a lifetime of “play”, an essential aspect of his approach to architecture. “Lego teaches you a world perspective (视角), which is that you can take anything apart and put it back together again in a way that makes it better,” he says,“and that, I think, is what got me into architecture.”Aside from his builds on Lego Masters, Edlavitch has created a 433-brick model of the Richmond skyline and a Richmond city block. Moreover, Edlavitch says he will offer kids’ workshops that combine Lego and architecture in an approachable way, introducing the field to a new generation through “play”.According to Edlavitch, most people don’t think about architecture very seriously as a career until later high school or college, at which point a lot of these kind of old-fashioned programs are considered too late to get started, and this leads to a less diverse and less creative field. He hopes, through his builds and workshops, to model a different approach.4．How was Edlavitch and his grandfather’s performance at the show?A．Unsatisfying.B．Unexpected.C．Excellent.D．Worrying. 5．What did Edlavitch and his grandfather do for the show?A．They arranged three seasons.B．They consulted Lego Batman.C．They interviewed the judges.D．They studied Lego techniques.6．What does Edlavitch think of “play”?A．It is important for learning architecture.B．It takes up much of his study time.C．It fails to open opportunities for creation.D．It is meaningless for a new generation. 7．Why does Edlavitch decide to provide workshops for kids?A．To offer chances for them to recognize Lego.B．To develop their interest in architecture.C．To encourage them to be more serious.D．To show his talent in building Lego.Using AI, a group of researchers from Dalhouse University in Halifax have begun the work of translating the language of chickens. Dr. Suresh Neethirajan, one of the lead researchers of the study, set out to create a “universal chicken translator”, reported The Conversation.Chicken speech is actually a lot more complex than one might think. They can make different sounds, and the way they communicate with one another can be affected by their environment and age. Moreover, chickens also communicate through body language and facial expressions.Luckily, the researchers were able to use new Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to help them begin to know what chickens are saying. According to The Conversation, AI can process and analyze huge amounts of sound data. It can recognize patterns and types of vocalizations (发声). Using this information and an AI technique called Natural Language Processing, the researchers began to interpret the emotional states of chickens. Moreover, the researchers also used data video to record the chickens’ expressions and facial temperatures, thus knowing how chickens respond to something stressful.Neethirajan said that his team’s interest in chicken communication isn’t just academic. “Farmers can use this knowledge to create better living conditions, leading to healthier andhappier chickens. This, in turn, can affect the quality of produce, animal health and overall farm efficiency,” he said.The more people understand animals, the more likely they are to care about their well-being. Other researchers could use the data and methods that Neethirajan and his team have collected to begin to understand other bird species, and take care of their well-being as well.As AI becomes more and more common in our lives, it can be misused more easily. Neethirajan and his team, however, are part of a push toward positive AI use. Instead of using AI for boring goals, they suggest using AI to create a better world. For this, they should be commended.8．Why is the complexity of chicken speech mentioned in paragraph 2?A．To introduce the lifestyles of chickens.B．To explain chickens’ ways of communication.C．To prove scientists’ idea of new AI technologies.D．To show the necessity to create chicken translators.9．What did Neethirajan’s team use Natural Language Processing to do?A．Observe chickens’ facial expressions.B．Track chickens’ temperatures.C．Learn about chickens’ feelings.D．Record chickens’ sounds.10．What does Neethirajan say about their finding?A．It can be beneficial to farmers.B．It needs further testing.C．It causes doubt among researchers.D．It is harmful to animals.11．What does the underlined word “commended” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Invited.B．Praised.C．Ignored.D．Trained.Today’s teens are still going through the same physical and emotional transitions (过渡) older generations had, but they’re also burdened with pressures we never could have imagined even several years ago—from the cruel separation caused by social media to the terrifying impact of climate change. In the face of all this, how can teens overcome these challenges? While there’re no simple answers to this question, part of the way forward is learning self-compassion.Self-compassion means treating yourself with kindness and support when you’re having a hard time, being aware of difficult emotions and recognizing they’re a normal part of life. Thismay sound like no big deal, but actually, most of us do the opposite. When something’s happened that makes us feel bad, for example, we tend to be overly self-critical, often assuming that whatever happened was our fault.In a recently published study, my colleagues and I taught one group of teens the Mindful Self-Compassion for Teens (MSC-T) program. Eight sessions were designed to help them be more supportive and compassionate to themselves. Another group learned a healthy lifestyle course that included sessions on nutrition, exercise, sleep and healthy social media use.In our study, all the teens were exhibiting some anxious symptoms. The results showed that after six months, teens in the self-compassion group were over 2.5 times less likely to develop full-blown anxiety compared to teens in the healthy lifestyle group, suggesting the self-compassion course protected the teens from getting more anxious.Although we can’t determine how self-compassion is protective, we suspect it has to do with teens developing an understanding of common humanity. In one class, a teen said, “Whatever you’re feeling, you’re not alone in it. Somebody else will feel the same way, and will know where you’re coming from.”Self-compassion won’t solve all teens’ problems. But it’ll give them a new way to approach their problems without blaming themselves. As one teen said to me after taking a self-compassion course, “You know, it’s changed the way I look at myself and the world.” And that can make all the difference.12．What do most people tend to do when having a hard time?A．They criticize others.B．They seek support.C．They remain normal.D．They blame themselves.13．How did the author and his colleagues mainly draw their conclusion?A．By making comparisons.B．By listing numbers.C．By quoting sayings.D．By presenting examples.14．How can self-compassion affect teens in the author’s opinion?A．It helps develop kindness in them.B．It can give them a new viewpoint.C．It gets them to take care of others.D．It makes them emotionally weaker. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．How Can Teenagers Get Over Challenges in Life?B．How Is Self-Compassion Used to Fight Loneliness?C．Can Self-Compassion Help Teens With Anxiety?D．Is Guiding the Teen Years Harder Than Before?While most people appreciate the health advantages that come from running, cycling, or lifting weights, fewer people understand the benefits that come from a good swim. Actually, swimming provides a series of specific benefits.Arguably, the most important one is that it promotes heart health. According to a research, the practice improves circulation and cardiovascular (心血管的) efficiency, so one’s risk of heart attack decreases. 16 , which raises your heart rate and reduces your blood pressure effectively.17 . To push yourself forward, swimming requires the use of many major muscle groups of the body. These include core muscles, neck muscles, arm, hand and shoulder muscles, chest and back muscles, plus leg and feet muscles, thus contributing to muscle strengthening.Swimming can aid in weight management goals as well. 18 . One public health analysis found that a 155-pound person burns 281 calories per hour swimming at a medium pace but can burn as many as 704 calories per hour swimming freestyle at a vigorous (强有力的) pace.Additionally, swimming has mental health benefits. Studies show that moving through water increases blood flow to the brain and causes a release of dopamine (多巴胺). 19 .Given so many benefits of swimming, why not get started? Some experts recommend a mix of both swimming and other water-related works when starting out. Above all, making the experience enjoyable is key to ensuring you stick with it. “Swimming is not just an exercise but an enjoyable and refreshing experience. 20 ,” says Lori Sherlock, an exercise physiology professor at West Virginia University School of Medicine.A．Swimming is also good for every muscle in the bodyB．Swimming is a whole-body rhythmic and dynamic activityC．The butterfly stroke burns as many as 774 calories per hourD．Research shows that repeating swim movements can burn many caloriesE．There are some techniques about swimming which need to be practicedF．In this way, swimming has even been shown to improve memory functionG．It can also enhance your physical health, mental well-being and quality of life二、完形填空I stared at the screen, re-reading the message from my friend, Noelle. Someone had 21 her by sharing her personal news — she had been refused by her dream school, which Noelle had shared with only several people. She didn’t know who let the 22 out, but she was disappointed.I felt so 23 as I’d been the one to tell someone beyond her 24 . It’d have been easy to admit what I had done and 25 if her note was an accusation. But it read as though it had been 26 and pasted (粘贴) to several people. 27 the right option, I chose the coward (胆小的) way out.“I’m sorry that happened to you,” I 28 . “How awful that your confidence was broken.” And her 29 came back within seconds, “Thank you.”30 , that would be good enough. I didn’t admit my action, but I’d expressed regret and 31 her pain. But, deep down, I knew I’d been the one to 32 faith and hurt her. I was ashamed, not only for my original action, but because I’d heaped (堆积) wrong upon wrong by 33 it up.I felt painful. I knew what stood between me and doing the right thing: my image. That’s what I 34 to lose after telling Noelle the truth.Yet what was my image compared to doing the 35 thing? To remain silent would make that image a lie anyway. So the next day, I went straight to Noelle and admitted what I’d done.21．A．followed B．interrupted C．upset D．warned 22．A．solution B．word C．way D．cry 23．A．angry B．surprised C．amused D．guilty 24．A．circle B．response C．control D．description 25．A．wait B．question C．apologize D．smile 26．A．refused B．copied C．removed D．taught 27．A．Making B．Considering C．Expecting D．Ignoring28．A．typed B．called C．admitted D．repeated 29．A．translation B．doubt C．reply D．puzzle 30．A．Luckily B．Surely C．Sadly D．Simply 31．A．sympathized with B．assisted with C．reflected onD．experimented on32．A．answer B．establish C．have D．break 33．A．picking B．taking C．covering D．bringing 34．A．feared B．decided C．intended D．managed 35．A．boring B．right C．embarrassing D．traditional三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

上海市进才中学2023-2024学年高二下学期3月月考英语试题
上海市进才中学2023-2024学年高二下学期3月月考英语试题一、语法填空Directions: 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.Over the past decade or so, biologists have shown that we are filled with microbiomes (微生物组), inside and out. This microbiome, 1 (compose) of bacteria, fungi and viruses, profoundly influences our health and fitness and sometimes is even linked to our emotional state.The oral microbiome gets far less attention, but we 2 (know) of it for a long time. In 1891, US dentist Willoughby D．Miller first proposed that bacteria could leave the mouth, travel to other parts of the body and cause disease. We only began to get supporting evidence in 1989, when researchers noticed that people who had experienced a heart attack were rated as having oral health that was about twice as poor as 3 of a control group. Even when age, social class and smoking habits 4 (account) possible factors, the results remained almost the same. A solid link seemed to be there.More recently, thanks to DNA sequencing technology, by cataloguing the microbes in our mouths, we are now finding that the types of bacteria people have 5 (live) there seem to be associated with a growing number of conditions like cancer. Perhaps the most striking example is Alzheimer’s disease. It can be found that people with gum (牙龈) disease are 6 increased risk of developing this condition, which slowly robs people of their memories, personalities and cognitive function. However, until recently, it was unclear 7 poor oral health was a contributing cause of Alzheimer’s or a consequence of it.Then, in 2019, scientists discovered some species of bacteria known 8 (cause) gum disease — including one called Porphyromonas gingivalis — which are inside the brains of people who died of Alzheimer’s disease. If the mouth bacteria were getting into the brain, that lent weight to the idea that they could be a cause of Alzheimer’s.Researchers are still trying to grasp how this could happen. 9 the mechanism is, they note that there may be a way you can protect yourself in advance. Dental scientists at theUniversity of Melbourne, Australia, is developing a vaccine against gum disease 10 you can reduce the risks of gum diseases significantly.二、选词填空Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Luxury brands used to speak in monologues. However, nowadays, influencers are becoming the ambassadors of those luxurious brands.In the age of social media, the buyers are having a voice in products, in particular, the influencers. These individuals have won large followings by 11 and attacking occasionally a variety of products. Their fame stems from the clever use of Instagram, Snapchat or TikTok. Their posts seem trivial. Their business isn’t.For consumers, influencers are at once a walking advert and a trusted friend. For the brands, they are a(n) 12 . And for regulators, they are the subject of ever closer review. On March 29th, news reports 13 that China’s authorities were planning new restrictions concerning livestreaming platforms. The limitations 14 how much money internet users can spend tipping their favorite influencers, how much those influencers can earn from fans and what they are allowed to post.There hardly exists any 15 of the size of the influencer industry. One in 2020 from the National Bureau of Statistics in China, where influencers gained prominence earlier than in the West, assessed its contribution to the economy at $210bn, equivalent to 1.4% of GDP. As with many things digital, the pandemic seems to have given it a(n) 16 as more people were glued to their smartphones more of the time. The influencer ecosystem is challenging the 17 principle of luxury-brand management. Apart from being one-directional, campaigns have tendedto be 18 , unchanging and expensive. The same smile from the same photograph of the same Hollywood star would induce passers-by to purchase an item for many years. Such star-led campaigns can be unappealing to teenagers and 20-somethings 19 authenticity over timeless glamour. And influencers, with their girl-or boy-next-door charm, offer this for a small portion of the fee of a big-name star. The best ones are able to repackage a brand’s message in a way that is 20 with their voice, their followers’ tastes and their platform of choice. So to be a top-ten brand, you have to know how to play the digital game. If you don’t, you are not going to be top ten for very long.三、完形填空A cancer diagnosis will force King Charles III out of the public eye for the foreseeable future. For a highly 21 royal family that has cultivated its public image through countless appearances a year — ribbon-cuttings, ship launchings, gala benefits and so on — the marginalization of Charles may finally force the royals to rethink how they 22 themselves in a social-media age.The king’s illness is the latest 23 to the British royal family, which has seen its ranks thinning by death, scandal (Prince Andrew) and self-exile (流放) (Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan). Regardless of what is predicted, it appears that the king’s cancer presses the royal family into 24 territory.The answer to it, royal watchers argue, may be 25 . During the coronavirus pandemic, Elizabeth conducted meeting s via Zoo m calls,becoming 26 enough with it that she made jokes with the digitally distorted faces on her computer screen.Social media can also be employed to enhance the 27 exposure of family members. The royal family’s Instagram account 28 more than 13 million followers. But for young people, who spend whole day following their favorite celebrities online, a royal turning up to dedicate a new primary school may not 29 as much as it did to their previous generations.Prince Harry, the king’s younger son, fell out bitterly with his family after his 30 from royal duties and relocation to California in 2020. Undoubtedly, the greatest burden falls onthe mere remaining 41-year-old heir (继承人), William, who has been recognized as a qualified successor for 31 a role on issues from climate change to homelessness. Meanwhile, he has jealously guarded his family’s 32 , demanding his office release no photographs of three young children visiting their mother in the hospital. That approach stood 33 his father, who approve the disclosure of an unusual amount of detail about his recent cancer diagnosis. The scrutiny (审查) of William will 34 increase, experts said, as he occupies a more central place in the Windsor family hierarchy.Queen Elizabeth viewed assuming kingly duties as so 35 that she steeled herself, two days before her death at 96, to meet with the outgoing prime minister in Scotland, masking her own condition. Charles, though, has departed from long family practice “in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.”21．A．apparent B．controversial C．visible D．generous 22．A．project B．market C．illustrate D．propose 23．A．witness B．blow C．solution D．disloyalty 24．A．uncharted B．unnoticed C．indefensible D．inexcusable 25．A．human-initiated B．strategy-focused C．technology-drivenD．goal-oriented26．A．frustrated B．preoccupied C．content D．comfortable 27．A．in-depth B．in-person C．in-between D．in-built 28．A．claims B．calculates C．confirms D．clarifies 29．A．matter B．contribute C．relate D．bring 30．A．dismissal B．survival C．withdrawal D．renewal 31．A．carving out B．applying for C．identifying with D．reflecting on 32．A．connection B．priority C．presence D．privacy 33．A．in parallel to B．as opposed to C．on behalf of D．in honor of 34．A．scarcely B．effortlessly C．approximately D．inevitably 35．A．grave B．distinct C．exceptional D．progressive四、阅读理解First, I must get settled into school. My classes begin today at the PRIVET! Russian Academy of Language Studies, where I will be attending class five days a week, four hours a day.I know I am such a shameless student. I laid my clothes out last night, just like I did before my first day of first grade, with my patent leather shoes and my new lunch box.The last thing I want is to end up in a Level One class, which would be so humiliating for me. Given that I already took a whole entire semester of Russian at my Night School for Divorced Ladies in New York, and that I spent the summer memorizing flash cards. The thing is, I don’t even know how many levels this school has, but the me re mention of “level” sparks a resolve within me to aim for Level Two—at least.It’s such a hard test! I can’t get through even a tenth of it!In the end, it’s OK, though.So it’s hammering down rain today, but I show up early, wander about the school and smugly walk past all those Level One students (who must be cookies, really) and enter my first class. Here I am with my peers. But it becomes swiftly evident that these are not my peers and that I have no business being here. I feel like I’m swimming, but barely. Like I’m taking in water with every breath. The teacher, a skinny guy (Why are the teachers so skinny here? I don’t trust skinny Russians.), is going way too fast, is skipping over whole chapters of the textbook, saying, “You already know this, you already know that…” and keeping up a rapid-fire conversation with my apparently fluent classmates. My stomach is gripped in horror and I’m gasping for air and praying he won’t call on me. Just as soon as the break comes, I run out of that classroom on wobbling legs and I scurry all the way over to the administrative office almost in tears, where I beg in very clear English if they could please move me down to a Level One class. And so they do. And now I am here.36．What do we know about the writer from the first two paragraphs?A．She is a newly-admitted student majoring in language teaching.B．She has no knowledge of this foreign language and is put to shame.C．She is full of anticipation and readiness for new educational pursuit.D．She attends the same school to build upon prior academic achievements.37．What does the underlined word smugly in paragraph 5 mean?A．arrogantly B．furiously C．secretly D．nobly38．Why does the writer withdraw from Level Two class in the end?A．The teacher singles her out for her inability to converse smoothly in foreign language.B．The age and culture divide leads to an overwhelming sense of alienation with classmates.C．The unexpected discomfort in her stomach prompts a pause in regular learning activities.D．The unthinkable difficulty in catching up with the teaching rhythm destroys confidence. 39．What might be the best title of the passage?A．Well Begun, Half Done.B．An Idle Youth, A Needy Age.C．More Haste, Less Speed.D．No Pain, No Gain.I guess I was a little bored. For the past hour, I’d been on the phone with Daniele, the head of my office in Italy, reviewing our latest purchases of Italian gold, Murano glass and Italian-made shoes and handbags.“Daniele,” I said, “What is the hottest jewelry in Italy right now?” His reply? Woven gold bracelets studded with gems.

Although the Georgian structure was praised for its handsome Greek Revival style by Nikolaus Pevsner, an architectural master, it was built for horses, not cars. Repairs will close the bridge for several months, causing bigger jams and more pollution in a city where air quality is already a cause of concern.Bath is an extreme example of a tradeoff faced by much of the country. Britain has the oldest housing stock in Europe, with one in five homes more than 100 years old. Period features are valued and often protected by law. Yet as efforts to cut carbon emissions intensify, they are contradicting attempts to preserve heritage. It is a “delicate balance” says Wera Hobhouse, Bath’s Member of Parliament (议员) “What is the public benefit of dealing with the climate emergency, versus protecting a heritage asset?”Two years ago, Bath was among the first British cities to declare a “climate emergency” when it also promised to go carbon-neutral by 2030. Yet Bath also wants—and is legally required to preserve its heritage. With Roman remains and Georgian streets that spread across the Avon Valley in shades of honey and butter, the city is designated a world heritage site by UNESCO. About 60% of it is further protected by the government as a conservation area, more than 5,000 of Bath’s buildings—nearly 10% of the total—are listed as being of special architectural or historical interest, making it a criminal offence to alter them without permission.Many of the features that make Bath’s Georgian buildings so delicate also make them leaky. Buildings of traditional construction make up 30% of Bath’s housing stock but take up 40% of domestic carbon emissions, according to the Centre for Sustainable Energy, a charity. British homes are rated for energy efficiency on a scale from A to G; most traditional buildings in the city are an F or G.Transport is another area where climate and heritage clash. Bath’s 17th-century streets lack room for bike lanes. Joanna Wright was recently relieved of her role as Bath’s climate chief after proposing that North Road, which leads to the university, should be closed to traffic. In two years she was unable to install any on-street electric-vehicle charging points, partly because of the “nightmare” of getting permission to dig up old pavements.All this means going carbon neutral by 2030 looks hard, but the city is at least beginning to make compromises. In March it launched the first “clean-air zone” outside London, charging drivers to enter central Bath. A trial has made 160 electric motoreycles available to hire. And local opinion seems to be shifting in favour of sustainability. “The discussion has moved dramatically towards considering the climate emergency,” says Ms. Hobhouse.43．What problem does Bath face?A．It is getting more and more crowded due to the maintenance work underway.B．Its housing stock with a long history are being altered without authorization.C．Its historical significance makes it hard to be reformed into an eco-friendly city.D．Its promise to go carbon-neutral by 2030 is greeted with doubt from its citizens. 44．The percentage mentioned in the underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) is intended to _________.A．highlight the long history of Bath’s building complexB．show the low energy efficiency of the historic buildingsC．illustrate the delicate features that Bath’s buildings shareD．challenge the validity and credibility of the A-G scale45．Why was Joanna Wright removed from her position?A．She proposed the North Road not be accessible to the public.B．She failed to solve the conflict between transport and heritage.C．She stood right in the way of the heritage preservation efforts.D．She struggled to get authorized to dig up those old pavements.46．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Wera Hobhouse keeps a balance between public benefit and heritage protection.B．Traditional buildings in Bath are not available to visitors not having permits.C．Bath has been setting the pace for the construction of a carbon-neutral city.D．Local people in Bath used to favor heritage conservation over sustainability.Immersive Art Draws People InWith bold, swirling brushstrokes (绘画技巧) and vivid colors, Vincent van Gogh’s stirring Starry Night brings to life a turbulent (汹涌的) sky. It’s one of the most recognizable paintings in the world. And gazing at the scenic canvas can make museum visitors feel starstruck.But seeing this masterpiece on a gallery wall isn’t the only way art fans can experience its impact 47 . They find themselves surrounded by shimmering colors that dance before their eyes and ripple (涟漪) at their feet. These exhibitions digitally project moving images onto walls, floors, and sometimes onto viewers themselves. They are examples of immersive art.48 . While it can be hard to characterize, it’s generally a multisensory, an interactive event that engages viewers and lets them feel like part of the artwork. One thing is certain — these exhibitions have been wildly popular — selling out tickets in cities worldwide.Van Gogh gained fame only after his death. In fact, the 19th-century painter sold just one painting during his lifetime. But now he is immersive art’s biggest superstar. His work has been showcased in various exhibitions featuring immense images. 49 . One show, Van Gogh Alive, has appeared in 65 countries since 2011. It even features a signature scent for visitors to sniff. Shows of other artists — including Monet, Renoir, and Chagall — have lit up venues, too.The popularity of immersive art has been powered party by social media. As visitors post selfies featuring van Gogh’s art or videos of friends stepping into a fantastical fridge, these experiences draw bigger and bigger crowds. 50 . That’s because many curators and creators share a common goal — to help more people get into art!A．Immersive art doesn’t simply mean sitting in a glass case or fitting in a frame.B．The art work is animated and accompanied by music, voices, and background sound.C．In fact, some exhibits give people a chance to be enveloped by van Gogh’s celebrated painting. D．Meanwhile, traditional museums are following the trend and applying immersive technologies E．Critics once described his work as a multidimensional mystery house leading to secret passages.F．More important is the ability to bridge the gap between traditional art spaces and modern audiences.五、书面表达51．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.Preventing ResistanceThe development of drug-resistant pathogens (病原体) can be prevented in at least three ways. First, sufficiently high concentrations of the drug can be maintained in a patient’s body for a long enough time to kill all sensitive cells and hold others long enough for the body’s defenses to defeat them. Discontinuing a drug before all of the pathogens have been neutralized promotes the development of resistance. For this reason, it is important that patients finish their entire antimicrobial prescription (抗菌药物) and resist the temptation to “save some for another day.”A second way to prevent resistance is to use antimicrobial agents in combination so that pathogens resistant to one drug will be killed by the second, and vice versa. Additionally, one drug sometimes enhances the effect of a second drug in a process called synergism. Enhanced effect can also result from combining an antimicrobial drug and a chemical.A third way to reduce the development of resistance is to limit the use of antimicrobials to necessary cases. Unfortunately, many antimicrobial agents are used indiscriminately, in both developed countries and in lessdeveloped regions where many are available without a physician’s prescription. In the United States, an estimated 50 percent of prescriptions for antibacterial agents to treat sore throats and 30 percent of prescriptions for ear infections, are inappropriate because the diseases are viral in nature. Likewise, because antibacterial drugs have no effect on cold and flu viruses, 100 percent of antibacterial prescriptions for treating diseases are unnecessary. As discussed previously, the use of antimicrobial agents encourages the reproduction of resistant bacteria by limiting the growth of sensitive cells; therefore, inappropriate use of such drugs increases the likelihood that resistance of bacteria will multiply.In order to maintain the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatments, responsible practices must be implemented._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________六、翻译52．你要认识到：如果感觉困难，放平心态，那是因为它真的很难。

You can move your ugly car up now!” The silver-haired driver behind me in a fancy truck rudely yelled at me. Without much thought, I yelled back at the man, “What? Are you in a rush or something?”I was waiting in line at the drive-through to order our breakfast on a Sunday morning. There were only 12 inches or so between me and the car in front of me. There were also three additional cars in front of that one. We were getting nowhere fast. What was he hoping to gain by yelling at me?I wanted to let my own anger go after this ridiculous exchange. But the more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I was angry that he yelled at a mother in front of two kids. My daughter and my son were both confused and saddened by what they had just witnessed. We were on our way to a soccer tournament, and we had a bonus day free from school and work. Probably, there was nothing in the world to be upset about. Then this man let his anger out.I told my kids I was so mad that I had to roll my window up so that I wouldn’t keep yelling at this guy. Then, I stopped and looked back. I had moved up the 12 or so inches at his “suggestion”, while he h adn’t moved an inch. Suddenly, I felt sympathy for him. He must have been suffering in some way. As my kids and I slowly made our way to the pick-up window to pay for our order, I had an idea.“I heard how rude that man was to you, and I wanted to apologiz e to you for having to put up with that. He isn’t worth paying for,” the cashier said to me. “My kids support me in doing that,” I answered the cashier, adding that hate cannot drive out hate.4. Why was the driver angry with the author?A．Her car cut in. B．She screamed athim. C．She held up histruck.D．Her car stoppedsuddenly.5. What does the author mainly tell us in paragraph 3?A．What her kids’ reaction was.B．Why her anger kept growing.C．How she calmed herself down. D．Why she ordered the breakfast.6. What was the author’s final decision?A．She taught her kids a lesson. B．She apologized to the driver.C．She paid for the driver’s food.D．She gave the cashier some advice. 7. What does the author intend to convey in the text?A．Respond to hate with kindness. B．Deal with a man as he deals with you.C．Put distance between your car and another. D．Never go to the drive-through at rush hours.Scientists have made a “breakthrough” in handling nuclear fusion (聚变). The US Department of Energy officially announced the milestone in fusion energy research.For the first time, researchers created a nuclear fusion reaction that produced more energy than they put into the process. The experiment, conducted at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, generated 3.15 megajoules of energy, more than the 2.05 megajoules put into creating it. Nuclear fusion works by forcing together two atoms-most often hydrogen-to make a heavier one-like helium (氦). This explosive process releases massive amounts of energy, the Department of Energy explains. Fusion is the opposite of fission (裂变), the reaction that powers nuclear reactors used commercially today.Fusion occurs naturally in the heart of the Sun and the stars, providing these cosmic (宇宙的) objects with fuel. Since the 1950s, scientists have been trying to reproduce it on Earth in order to make use of the so-called clean, cheap, and almost limitless electricity. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, fusion generates four times more energy per kilogram than the fission used to power nuclear plants, and nearly 4 million times more energy than burning oil or coal. What’s more, unlike fossil fuels, fusion doesn’t release carbon dioxide the greenhouse gas that’s the main driver of climate change-into the atmosphere. And unlike nuclear fission, fusion doesn’t create long-lived radioactive waste, according to the Department of Energy. But so far, nuclear fusion hasn’t solved our energy problems on a grand scale.The recent announcement is a huge step forward in nuclear fusion energy, but applying the technology at commercial scale is likely still years away. Chanda Prescod Weinstein, a theoretical physicist, pointed out that the process the Department of Energy uses requires tritium (氚), a rare and radioactive isotope (同位素)of hydrogen. “It may yet convey important information that is ultimately transformative. We don’t know yet,” Prescod Weinstein tweeted. Investors, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, have poured billions into clean energy field trying to make fusion commercially workable, and the recent announcement is likely to continue that trend.8. What is the breakthrough in nuclear fusion reaction?A．It releases massive amounts of energy.B．It produces 3. 15 megajoules of energy.C．It works by forcing together two atoms.D．It generates more energy than that put into it.9. Why have scientists been conducting nuclear fusion experiments?A．To avoid the commercial use of fission.B．To recycle the byproduct of radioactive waste.C．To reduce emission (排放) of greenhouse gas.D．To aim for the high efficiency in producing energy.10. What does paragraph 5 focus on?A．The attitude of investors.B．The prospect of fusion energy.C．The significance of the announcement.D．The difficulty in producing fusion energy.11. What is the author’s attitude towards fusion energy?A．Critical.B．Negative.C．Optimistic.D．Doubtful.When consuming information, we try to acquire more signals and less noise. We feel like the more information we consume the more signals we receive. While this is probably true on an absolute basis, Nassim Taleb argues in the book Antifragile that it is not true on a relative basis. As you consume more data and the ratio (比率) of noise to signals increases, you know less about w hat’s going on and you are likely to cause more unintentional trouble.The supply of information to which we are exposed under modernity is transforming humans from a calm person to a neurotic (神经质的) one. For the purpose of our discussion, the first person only reacts to real information, and the second largely to noise. The difference between the two will show us the difference between noise and signals. Noise is what you are supposed to ignore; signals are what you need to heed.In science, noise is a generalization beyond the actual sound to describe random information that is totally useless for any purpose, and that you need to clean up to make sense of what you are listening to. You can use and take advantage of noise and randomness, but noise and randomness can also use and take advantage of you, particularly with the data you get on the Internet or through other media. The more frequently you look at data, the more noise you are likely to get, and the higher the noise-to-signal ratio is.Say you look at information on a yearly basis—the changes you see will all be large ones. The ratio of signals to noise is about one to one—this means that about half the changes are real improvements or degradations, and the other half come from randomness. But if you look at the very same data on a daily basis, the composition would change to 95 percent noise and 5 percent signals, and the changes you see daily will certainly be small.12. What opinion does Nassim Taleb probably hold?A．It’s hard to know the real trut h. B．The noise-to-signal ratio is changing.C．The information explosion can beD．More information brings more signals.harmful.13. What does the underlined word “heed” probably mean in paragraph 2?A．Notice. B．Analyse. C．Solve. D．Describe.14. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．Causes and harms of more noise. B．The meaning and impact of noise.D．Advantages and disadvantages of noise.C．The relationship between noise andsignals.15. How should we handle information according to the author?A．Check it frequently. B．Make use of online data.C．Look at key changes. D．Focus on all changes in it.Have you ever taken a personality test and found the results to be scarily accurate, checked your horoscope (星象学) and had everything come true or taken an online quiz that told you precisely what your favorite Disney princess means about you? Well, we certainly have done so too many times. 16We discovered that we’ve all been falling victim to the Barnum effect. 17 , despite the fact that the description is actually filled with information that applies to everyone. It was named after P.T. Barnum, a famous 19th century showman, who would famously say, “There’s a fool born every minute.”18 as pseudoscience (伪科学) — such as astrology and personality test — remains popular to this day. The Barnum effect explains why extremely general statements, such as the results of your personality test, seem so specific to you.The key to success of astrology and personality test keep the statements as vague as possible, with a mix of mostly positive and some negative content. 19 See “At times you are extroverted and sociable, while at other times you are introverted and reserved”— who would not agree with that statement?20 Take everything you hear with several grains of salt.Recent snowstorms in Southern California left several people dead and others trapped in their homes in the San Bernardino Mountains.During the severe weather, members of the community _________ to help a 79-year-old man get to his wife, who was experiencing a medical _________ miles away.

Do you wonder what you are going to do after high school? Will you continue to go to school? Will you learn a trade? Perhaps it is time to think about your choices and to prepare for them. Some day work will be a big part of your life.What kind of job would be right for you? Think about your interests and your skills. You may like to listen to music, dance, play basketball, or work with computers. You may know how to drive a car or how to get along with people. Knowing both your interests and skills will help make a better plan for your career.To get an idea of what work you would like to do, make a list of your interests and a list of your skills. Think about what you have done to be successful in your interests. After that, brainstorm a list of career choices that might match your interests and skills. You can later keep your lists with the projects and documents (文件) that can help you achieve the career you want.They can help you know more clearly about your achievements in school and in the world of work. Roberta Zhan, an art designer, finds her work satisfying because it allows her to use her interests and skills. She enjoyed imagining something in her minds eye while she was in school. She took art, design, and computer lessons, and also learned about taking photos on her own.Here is what she says about the meaning of work: “If you have a job you like, work means much more than just making money. It means using your talents, making a contribution (贡献),and getting a real sense of satisfaction from doing a job.”4．The passage is most probably written to________.A．students B．teachers C．parents D．designers5．At the beginning, the writer introduces the topic of the passage by________.A．listing facts B．giving examplesC．asking questions D．explaining differences6．Roberta Zhan might be most interested in when she was at school________.A．singing songs B．creating picturesC．playing basketball D．playing computer games7．The passage is mainly about________.A．the real meaning of work B．the importance of interests and skillsC．the journey of Roberta’s life D．the way of preparing for the futureIf you’re a white-collar worker working at an office, it’s unlikely that anyone can guess exactly what you do from your clothes. That’s not true for lots of the people you interact with. The bus driver who gets you to your destination, and the people on reception as you enter the building — they’re likely to be wearing some kind of corporate uniform. A poll of American workers conducted last summer by Gallup found that although most employees wear casual clothes, almost a quarter wear a uniform.Some employers require uniforms, since they help ensure a level of professionalism in appearance, project a brand identity with useful job-specific features, and send a clear signal to customers about whom they should approach with questions.Those customers draw different conclusions if staff are in uniform. A study by Robert Smith of Tilburg University and his colleagues asked people to imagine being on the receiving end of poor service when picking up a pizza. They were then shown pictures of uniformed or non-uniformed employees. Participants were more likely to blame the company than the individual for a bad experience when a uniform was involved. If corporate clothing makes each worker seem more representative of their employers, the authors suggest that it may be a good idea not to give it to inexperienced workers.Uniforms can also affect the psychology of employees. In 2012, Hajo Adam and AdamGalinsky coined the term “unclothed cognition” to describe the effect that specific clothes have on the way people think and feel. In one study, Emilie Caspar of Ghent University gave participants the option to apply minor electric shocks to other people in return for money; those dressed in Red Cross uniforms showed more empathy than those in normal outfits.The effects uniforms have on workers will obviously vary. The obvious objection to uniforms is that they lack individuality. But employees who don’t have to wear a formal uniform tend to have their own pattern of dressing, thus forming another informal uniform.8．What do we know about white-collar office workers?A．They must follow strict rules about uniforms.B．Their way of dressing reveals their job duties.C．Their clothes may not be relevant to their work.D．They wear uniforms to inspire customers’ interest.9．What did the participants do in the study in Para. 3?A．They imagined being served in a shop.B．They dressed up in employees’ uniform.C．They were asked to work in a pizza shop.D．They ordered pizza from uniformed employees.10．Why are workplace uniforms disliked by some people?A．They block customers’ en-clothed cognition.B．They re an expression of being inexperienced.C．They are inferior to their own pattern of dressing.D．They lack an express on of wearers’ individuality.11．Where is the text most probably taken from?A．An essay on fashion trend.B．A review of workplace cultureC．A guidebook about making clothes.D．An introduction about social customs.A group of small, wiggling (扭动) robots that communicate by flashing lights can make collective decisions. This is similar to the process bees use to reach a consensus on where to buildtheir nest.“We believe that in the near future there are going to be simple robots that will do jobs that we don’t want to do, and it will be very important that they make decisions in an autonomous manner,” says Carmen Miguel at the University of Barcelona in Spain. She and her team tested how imitating bees might help with that.When bees go house-hunting, they communicate their preferred locations through a “wiggle dance”. The more a bee recommends one location, the longer and harder it wiggles. Eventually other bees join them, and they reach a consensus when a majority are wiggling together. Researchers previously translated this behavior into a mathematical model, and Miguel and her colleagues used it to program decision-making rules into small robots called kilobots.Each kilobot with three thin legs had an infrared-light emitter (红外线发射器) and receiver, and a colored LED light. Within a group, kilobots could move around, turn clockwise or anticlockwise and use infrared signals to exchange information.Ezequiel Ferrero at the University of Barcelona says that across all the experiments, kilobots reached a consensus within about half an hour, even when they didn’t have many immediate neighbors to communicate with. He says that getting the right combination of how long they spend transmitting their message and how much they walk around allowed them to make a collective decision in the end.12．How do bees agree with each other about where to construct a new home?A．By doing a group dance.B．By imitating simple robots.C．By giving out flashing lights.D．By advising a favoured place.13．What did the team do to enable kilobots to become smart?A．They exposed kilobots to real bees.B．They equipped kilobots with thin legs.C．They put a programme into kilobots.D．They built a special mathematical model. 14．What’s the key element for kilobots to make group judgement?A．Doing more practical experiments.B．Having enough companions around.C．Combining different figures accurately.D．Sending brief messages automatically. 15．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．Bees are natural wiggle dancers.B．Robots learn to dance by imitating bees.C．Wiggle dances mean a lot in communication.D．Robots reach a consensus by imitating bees wiggling.Many people don’t understand why anyone would travel by bicycle. It’s so exhausting. For me it’s the best way to travel. Why I love it and why the effort is paying off, you can read here.When I sit on the bike, I am free and flexible. I can pause at any time to eat or start the stove to enjoy a coffee with breathtaking views. I’m not dependent on bus or train. 16 I come to places I would never have seen. My bike gives me the possibility of don’t-need-to-plan, which leaves space for adventure. Because adventures don’t come around the corner during a planned hotel-vacation.I am the whole day in nature.The wind blows around my nose. 17 I see monkeys hanging directly above me in the tree, whales swimming along the coast, a bear waving at us and many more animals. Smelling the blackberries, I’m stopping to fill my stomach. In the car, bus or train I would have missed all of this and much more.18 On a longer tour I’m no longer in my normal environment, I’m freed from rolesI have to perform and now I’m having time and inner peace to think and reflect. It changes me. I get to know my own limits, can react better to specific situations, and collect knowledge of human nature. 19 I know when I have to end for the day, so that I can still have power for the next day.I could tell hundreds of stories.Because of getting to know so many people I’m experiencing a lot. The travel form itself invites many to ask questions. And the best thing about it is, that all these stories make me rich. Rich in memories, on which I think with laughter. 20 A．I listen to the birds singing.B．I get the chance to look inside myself.C．It will change the way you see the world.D．I can decide for myself when and where to go.E．Before my start, I was fascinated of the bike touring community.F．Likewise, I find my own rhythm and how to assess my reserves of strength.G．Nobody can ever take them away and they have an unspeakable value for me.二、完形填空I have a degree in business. But it was my father’s 21 for me to seek to attain a business major.

My 26 and working environment were great; yet I still didn’t feel happy doing something that had little 27 for me. After two months of working there, I made up my mind to 28 and decided to do what I love, namely teaching history. I have now been doing this job for over twenty years. I am 29 of being with my students.If you are in a 30 where you don’t love what you are learning or doing, please ask yourself what you are really 31 about, and what you truly want for your life.
