He spent much of his childhood (21)_______ (play) on the beach or fishing in the streams nearby. In 1849 he began a three-year apprenticeship to become an accountant. Although he never liked the prospect of a business career, he stayed with it (22)_______ (please) his family.Learning photography in Montreal around the year 1857, Henderson quickly took (23) _______ up as a serious amateur. Later, he became a personal friend and colleague of the Scottish Canadian photographer William Notman. (24)_______ their friendship, their styles of photography were quite different. While Notman's landscapes (25) _______ (note) for their bold realism, Henderson for the first 20 years of his career produced romantic images (26)_______ _______ _______ he published his first major collection of landscape photographs in 1865, he gained great fame for reflecting the romantic British landscape tradition in his works. The publication had limited circulation (only seven copies have ever been found), where the contents of each copy (27)_______(vary) significantly and proved a useful source for evaluating Henderson's early work.In 1866, he gave up his business to open a photographic studio, (28) _______ (advertise) himself as portrait and landscape photographer. From about 1870 he dropped portraiture to specialize in landscape photography and other views. His numerous photographs of city life (29)_______ (reveal) in street scenes, houses, and markets are alive with human activity. There was sufficient demand for these types of scenes and others he took depicting the pearl trade, steamboats and waterfalls to enable him to make a living.In 1892 Henderson accepted a full-time position with the CPR as manager of a photographic department (30)_______ he was to set up and administer.

Note that there is one word more than you need.Mars -- the next frontierIt sounds like something from the fields of science fiction--a space expedition into the vast 31_______ of space, heading towards the Red Planet. While we're not quite ready to put a person on land, the question we ask today is: why are so many countries interested in going to Mars?The space race saw the USA and USSR 32_______ to achieve firsts in spaceflight. The Soviet Union released Sputnik 1, an artificial satellite, before anyone else, and the US landed on the Moon first. Now it appears that Mars is the celestial body of desire. While the honour of being the first nation to touchdown is an obvious 33_______ , there are other reasons we want to get there.One of these could be the 34_______ of our species You only have to look at the fossilised remains of the dinosaurs to see the benefit of finding another 35_______ planet. While Mars doesn't have the right conditions to call it home just yet, there's always the idea of terraforming-- changing the environment of a planet to 36_______ our needs to live.However, not everyone agrees. Leading astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has said the 37_______of altering habitability of another planet because of the damage we have done to Earth is not 38_______ when we can simply terraform Earth.It seems he main reason at the moment is the search for signs of life. It has long been believed that, at one time, Mars was abundant with life. Now seemingly dead, the 39_______ fossils could answer questions about our own evolution and that of our planet. One theory is that bacterial life on our planet didn't start here, but was transferred via asteroid (小行星) from Mars.One benefit 40_______ by scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson is that landing on Mars may inspire more people to become interested in science and astronomy. Surely6/ 22inspiring a new generation to visit the stars is reason enough.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Moral sentiments countOrganizations and societies rely on fines and rewards to control people's self-interest in the service of the common good. The 41_______ of a ticket keeps drivers in line, and the promise of a bonus inspires high performance. But incentives (激励) can also 42_______, minifying the very behavior they're meant to encourage.A generation ago, Richard Titmuss claimed that paying people to donate blood43 _______ the supply. Economists were skeptical, citing a lack of scientific evidence. But since then, new data and models have prompted a sea change in how economists think about incentives--showing, among other things, that Titmuss was right in so many cases that businesses should 44_______.Experimental economists have found that offering to pay women for donating blood decreases the number willing to donate by almost half, and that letting them contribute the payment to charity 45_______ the effect. Dozens of recent experiments show that rewarding self-interest with economic incentives can have the opposite result when they destroy what Adam Smith called "the moral sentiments(情绪)”. The psychology here has escaped blackboard economists, but it will be no surprise to people in business: When we take a job or buy a car, we are not only trying to get stuff-- we are also trying to be a certain kind of person. 46_______ , people desire to be respected by others as ethical and 47_______. And they don't want to be taken for losers. Rewarding blood donations may not serve the intended purpose because it suggests that the donor is less interested in being 48_______ than in making a dollar. Incentives also run into trouble when they signal that the employer 49_______ the employee or is greedy. Close supervision of workers coupled with 50_______ for performance is textbook economics, but it can lead to the depression of employees.7/ 22Perhaps most important, incentives affect what our actions signal, whether we're being self-interested or civic-minded, manipulated or trusted and they can imply--sometimes wrongly--what 51_______ us. Fines or public criticism that appeal to our moral sentiments by signaling social disapproval (think of littering) can be highly effective. But incentives go wrong when they 52_______ or diminish our ethical sensibilities.This does not mean it's 53_______ to appeal to self-interested and ethical motivations at the same time--just that efforts to do so often fail. 54_______ , policies support socially valued ends not only by controlling self-interest but also by encouraging public-spiritedness. The small tax on plastic grocery bags passed by law in Ireland in 2002 that resulted in their virtual elimination appears to have had such an effect. It punished offenders 55_______ while conveying a moral message. Carrying a plastic bag joined wearing a fur coat in the gallery of anti-social anachronisms.41. A.temptation B.threat C.value D.equivalent42. A. overflow B.backfire C. survive D. work43. A.reduced B. affected C. afforded D.balanced44. A. cut back B. stand by C. take note D. hold on45. A.cause B. reverse C. take D. detect46. A. In other words B. On the contrary C. By contrast D. In addition47 A. satisfied B.determined C. dignified D.discouraged48. A. unselfish B. ambitious C. thoughtful D. aggressive49. A. boasts B. values C. encourages D. mistrusts50. A. requirement B. criticism C. implication D. reward51.

Surprisingly D.Ideally8/ 2255. A. publicly B.severely C. monetarily D. mildlySection BDirections: Read the following three passages. 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 one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Wonder materialMaurice Ward and his family ran ladies' hairdresser’s in Yorkshire, England. Ward was an inventor by nature and liked to mix his own hair dyes and products, claiming that they were more effective than the products supplied by cosmetics manufacturers like L'Oreal and Garnier. In the 1980s his inventiveness found a new outlet when he bought an industrial extruder--a machine that forms plastics-and began experimenting with making different types of sheet plastic. Then in 1985 something happened which was to change his life.A British Airtours plane bound for Corfu caught fire at Manchester Airport just before it took off. Although the plane was still on the ground, the results of the fire were destructive within forty seconds, 55 of the people inside died from smoke and poisonous air breathed in. Ward determined that he would make a material that would be much more fire-resistant than the plastics from which the interior was largely constructed. He began trying out different mixtures in a kitchen food blender. When he found a formulation that looked promising, he would shape it into sheet form and then test its fire resistance. The results got better and better until finally he hit on a material that would resist temperatures of 2, 500 C, not give off poisonous air and still remain cool enough to be touched. Starlite was bornYet here we are, thirty years on, and Starlite is still an unpatented and unexploited material. So what went wrong?Naturally, Ward kept the formula a secret. He never wrote it down, only telling the exact proportions of its 21 ingredients to a few of his closest family members. He refused to apply for a patent, since that would involve revealing its composition. No9/ 22one else was allowed to analyse it nor was any company given a sample for fear that they might reverse-engineer it.Consequently, no deal was ever struck and in May 2011 Maurice Ward died. It would be incorrect to say that he took his secret to the grave because some of the family still know it, but he certainly took his own dreams of personal wealth and fame with him. Why? Was it greed? Was it that, as an amateur, he felt a lack of respect from the scientific community? Or was he simply too protective of his idea to share it with others? We may never know. What is certain is that his loss is the world’s loss, too.56. What can we most probably infer about Maurice Ward according to the passage?A. He preferred fame to money.B.He was born with a creative spirit.C. He opposed established institutions.D. He got his genius partly from his parents.57. How did Ward develop Starlite?A. He converted it in the kitchen food blender.B. He found the material from the interior of planes.C. He got inspiration from the hair dyes and products.D. He experimented with materials and examined their fire-resistance.58. Which of the following statements about Starlite is TRUE?A. Its secret died with Maurice Ward.B. It gets warmer than plastics when heated.C. It could have brought Maurice great wealth.D. Some company reverse-engineered it without permission.59. We can learn from the passage that _______ .A. Innovation requires lots of efforts and deserves protection10/ 22B. The protectiveness of an invention may cause the world great losses.C. The big companies' ill intentions are to blame for the loss of Starlite.D. The neglect of talented people may cost the world valuable discoveries.(B)Things you need to know about your STRESS right nowAfter 60 years of research, scientists have determined what provokes stress. There's even a handy acronym: NUTS.N is for Novelty: This is something new you've not experienced before, like the first day of school or a new job.U is for Unpredictability: When you don't know how something is going to take shape, as is the case during a trip to the dentist.T is for Threat to the Ego: When your competence is threatened, such as in front of colleagues. We're very sensitive to this.S is for Sense of Control: When you feel you have little or no control over the situation, like being stuck in traffic.It's helpful to identify your sources of stress, because a problem well-defined is a problem almost solved. The opposite of stress is not relaxation---it's resilience. If you tell your brain that you can deal with this, it will stop producing the stress hormone and you will calm down11/ 22Get on your bike!As various bits of research have shown, cycling will lower your stress levels, whether you're doing a quick errand or committing to a lifetime on two wheels.15 MINUTES LATERA 2013 study out of Japan showed a marked drop in people's stress levels after they pedalled for just 15 minutes on a stationary bike.AN HOUR LATERResearchers found in 2015 that, compared to their cycling colleagues, those who drove or took the subway breathed more shallowly an hour later---a sure sign of stress.18 YEARS LATERAfter following 17,985 adult commuters for 18 years, U.K. researchers discovered in 2014 that those who walked or biked reported being happier, more confident and better able to face their problems.①____________In a 2015 study, researchers subjected 66 teen girls to a stress test. Some of them held their mothers' hands during the test; others had to go it alone. The girls who hadcontact with their moms were able to manage stress more effectively. It's what psychologists refer to as emotional load sharing.②____________In a 2007 UCLA study, some patients hospitalized for heart failure spent 12 minutes with a therapy dog, while another group interacted with a volunteer. The dogcrowd experienced greater decreases in their anxiety level compared to those patients whose visitors could actually talk back.60. __________---may suffer the most stress relatively.A. Luna, 19--she has well prepared for her first internship with the help of her mother12/ 22B. Tom, 29-his first day of work starts at 9: 00 am, but he's in a traffic jam at 8: 50 amC. Karol, 39-she finally had her decayed tooth pulled out last Thursday at the dentist'sD. Jenny, 49-her colleagues are planning to give her a farewell party and she's in the dark61. Which chart can best illustrate the effect of cycling ?A BC D62. Which of the following may best suit the numbered blanks?A. ①Raise your hand! ②Find a volunteer companion!B. ①Raise your hand! ②Get a furry companion!C.①Hug your family! ②Get furry companion!D. ①Hug your family! ②Find a volunteer companion!13/ 22(C)Bretton Woods revisitedOn July 22, 1944, as allied troops were racing across Normandy to liberate Paris, representatives of 44 nations meeting at the Mount Washington resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, created a financial and monetary system for the postwar era, referred to as Bretton Woods system.John Maynard Keynes, leader of the British delegation, was playing a tricky dual role. He had proposed a new monetary system to free the world from the Great Depression. He hoped that the new monetary system, would be the international pillar for the series of domestic measures that came to be known as Keynesian---the use of public spending to cure depression and the regulation of financial markets to prevent downturns caused by failed private financial investments. Keynes was also hoping to restore Britain's prewar position as a leading industrial and financial power. His two roles overlapped, but far from perfectly The Americans shared the British desire to restore world growth, but not to preserve Britain's empire.Keynes wrote to his colleague after the conference that in the new International Monetary Fund, "we have in truth got both in substance and in phrasing all that we could reasonably hope for. "The new World Bank, Keynes declared, offered "grand possibilities. .. The Americans are virtually committing themselves to quite huge untied loans for reconstruction and development.Yet in many respects, Bretton Woods was failure for Keynes and the British. America today is often described as the only surviving superpower, but in 1944 U.S. supremacy was towering. Germany and Japan were on the edge of ruin. Britain had gone massively into debt. The Russians had lost tens of millions of soldiers and civilians. America was unharmed, its casualties were modest by comparison, it held most of the world's financial reserves, and its industrial plant was mightier than ever.Though Keynes inspired Bretton Woods, the Americans won the day. In most matters, a rival design by Keynes's American counterpart, Harry Dexter White, prevailed. White, a left-wing New Dealer serving as No. 2 man at the Department of Treasury, shared Keynes's basic views on money. But the White plan provided a far more modest fund and bank. Instead of the generous extension of wartime lend-lease14/ 22aid that Keynes was promoting, the British had to settle for an American loan, to be repaid with interestThe Bretton Woods system was welcomed as a vast improvement over both the rigid gold standard of pre-1914 and the monetary disorder of the interwar period. For a quarter-century, Bretton Woods enhanced a rare period of steady growth, full employment, and financial stability. But in many respects, the boastful role of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Bretton Woods rules specifying fixed exchange rates was a convenient illusion. The system's true pillar was the United States the U.S. dollar as global currency; the U.S. economy as the consumer market for other nations' exports; and U.S. recovery aid in the form of the Marshall Plan, which dwarfed the function of the World Bank.In the early 1970s, the Bretton Woods system came crashing down when domestic inflation forced the United States to devalue its own currency and cease playing the dominant role. Monetary instability and slower growth followed.63. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?A. Keynes was satisfied with the outcome of the conference.B. Keynes further explained the idea of monetary reform he presented.C. Keynes emphasized the importance of having a new World Bank.D. Keynes pointed out the important role America played in postwar era.64. According to the passage, Keynes and White had different views on_____.A. the roles of US and Britain in postwar eraB. the basic principles related to loansC. the timing and target of giving fundD. the interest rate British banks should offer65. According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?A. The Bretton Woods system improved the rigid gold standard of the interwar periodB. International Monetary Fund dominated the world market in many fields.15/ 22C. The Bretton Woods system largely depended on the US economic success.D. Many countries received financial aid from the World Bank66. The passage is mainly about _____.A. the role of economy in the postwar eraB. two types of postwar diplomacy and their resultsC. an individual's contribution to the postwar worldD. the development of a financial system and its impact(D)The myth of short-term memoryShort-term memory contains the contents of your thoughts right now, including what you intend to do in the next few seconds 67________ You may think about what you'll say next in a conversation or walk to the hall closet with the intention of getting a pair of gloves.Short-term memory is easily disturbed or disrupted. 68________ You do this by thinking about them, perhaps repeating them over and over again ("I'm going to the closet to get gloves") But any distraction a new thought, someone asking you a16/ 22question, the telephone ringing---can disrupt short-term memory. Our ability to automatically restore the contents of the short-term lightly with every decade after 30.69________ I've been teaching undergraduates for my entire career and can attest that even 20-year-olds make short-term memory errors--loads of them. They walk into the wrong classrooms; they show up to exams without the requisite No. 2 pencil they forget something I just said 2 minutes before. These are similar to the kinds of things 70-year-olds do.The relevant difference is not age but rather how we describe these events, the stories we tell ourselves about them. Twenty-year-olds don't think, "Oh dear, this must be early-onset brain damage.” They think, “ I really need to get more than four hours of sleep."The 70-year-old observes these same events and worries about her brain health. This is not to say that brain damage related memory impairments are fiction.70________ In the absence of brain disease, even the oldest older adults show little or no cognitive memory decline beyond the age 85 and 90.Section CDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

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.

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. He texted me some photos and I knew immediately that this was jewelry that Raffinato just had to have.RAFFINATO IS ONE OF AMERICA’S LARGEST RETAILERS OF ITALIAN-MADEJEWELRYPresenting the Italiano Fantasia Bracelets, two designs that are prime examples of Italy’sfinest artisanship.

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。

Below are some examples of 2023.“Naughty pupils”-ancient punishment method resurfacesArchaeologists discovered 18,000 ink-carved pieces of pottery-known as “ostraca”—at the site of Athribis early this year, and among them were hundreds of fragments(碎片)with a single symbol repeated front and back.Those scribbles(潦草的文字)are evidence of ‘naughty “pupils” being made to write lines, according to researchers a Germany’s University of Tuebingen. The fragments also included receipts, school texts, trade information and lists of names.Van Gogh peers out in hidden portraitThere is one more known van Gogh’s self-portrait in the world, and it was hidden behind a painting of a peasant woman. People made the discovery when they took an X-ray of one of his portraits from 1885 and discovered the artis t’s own image behind layers of cardboard and glue. While X-rays often reveal how artists-changed their compositions, the full self-portrait of van Gogh came as a huge surprise, who was known to reuse canvase(画布)to save money.Another treasure collection from SanxingduiThe Sanxingdui archaeological site has produced thousands of relics. The latest discovery, reported by Chinese state media in June includes 3,155 objects, a turtle shell-shaped box and a sacrificial altar among them. A team has been digging six places of the site, turning up more than 13,000 objects so far. Last year, the relics they uncovered included a golden mask, ivory artifacts(手工艺品)and a jade knife. The Sanxingdui culture still remains mysterious, as it left behind no written records or human remains, though many believe it to be part of the ancient kingdom of Shu, which ruled along the upper stream of the Yangtze River until it was conquered in 316 BC.16. What led to the researchers’ conclusion about the fragments?A．The repeated symbol. B．Trade information.C．Lists of pupils’ names.D．The mark of ink.17. Why did van Gogh hide his self-portrait in a painting?A．To keep away from X-rays.B．To save money.C．To make his works more mysterious.D．To help people find his composition.18. Which is the newly-unearthed relic of 2023 in Sanxingdui site?A．A jade knife. B．A golden mask.C．A written record. D．A turtle shell-shaped box.Twenty-two years ago, I won a Nobel Prize, together with Tim and Leland Hartwell, for our work on how cells control their division.The prize changed our lives. Suddenly you become a public figure being asked to do all sorts of things: to give lectures, quite often on topics you know little about; to sit on committees and reviews you are not always well qualified to be on; to visit countries you have barely heard of. It is like having a whole new extra job, with upwards of 500 requests a year.A recent study suggests that in general the extra commitments that Nobel winners take on result in fewer papers after their awards. There may be some truth to this given the extra demands on one’s time, but of course prestigious awards also allow new projects and research to be undertaken.What effects did the Nobel Prize have on my subsequent career and work? It has certainly helped me to get scientific leadership positions. Within a year of getting the prize I was offered and acceptedthe presidency of Rockefeller University in New York. Having the prize also helps to get things done. For example, I have been involved in the merging of two separate cancer research charities to form Cancer Research UK. And it has helped me support causes I care deeply about. I became an ambassador for Ukraine education and science to help raise money for schools in that shattered country. Moreover, having a Nobel does help attract high-quality research colleagues. I have just started three excellent new PhD students. It is a privilege for me to be able to pursue curiosity-driven research at this late stage of my career.However, one thing I am glad to say that the Nobel Prize did not influence was peer review from my fellow scientists, assessing the suitability of my own research for publication, and my grant applications for funding. My rejection rates have remained essentially the same before and after the prize. And that, of course, is exactly how it should be.19. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 2?A．To share his pride in winning a Nobel.B．To express his regret at the changing of life.C．To show his self confidence in handling the extra jobs.D．To display his overburdened tasks after winning a Nobel.20. What does the underlined word “merging” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Competition. B．Comparison. C．Combination. D．Construction. 21.

Many of us enjoy video games, but does playing our favorite game for a couple of hours every night mean we’re suffering from gaming disorder? Not, according to the WHO. The symptoms listed by the WHO include a lack of control over gaming, treating gaming more seriously than other life interests and daily activities, and continuing to play games despite the negative consequences that playing them might have. “The behavior pattern is enough to result in significant damage to one’s personal, family, or social life,”the WHO said.Meanwhile, Douglas Gentile of Iowa State University has carried out influential research into the cause of gaming addiction in young people. “I and many others had assumed that gaming is not really a problem but is a symptom of other problems,”he told NBC News. Many had thought it was simply a failure of self-control.To see if it was，Gentile’s team studied a group of children who had been gaming for several years. “We found that when kids became addicted，their anxiety increased…and their grades decreased,”Gentile said. When kids were able to b ack off from gaming, their symptoms disappeared, he added. Gentile thinks medical organizations should pay attention to the WHO’s proposal. “This isn’t an issue of opinion; it’s all issue of science,”he said. “This is a major scientific and medical organiz ation. They don’t do things lightly and without reason.”Dr Petros Levounis, chair of psychiatry at the New Jersey Medical School at Rutgers University, said that he hoped the WHO’s proposal would lead to more research into obsessive (过度的)behavior among al l types of people. “Now，there is renewed interest and excitement,” he said. 23. Which of the following is a sign of gaming disorder according to the WHO?A．Putting games before everything else.B．Keeping playing until winning the games.C．Playing games for several hours every night.D．Having a few hobbies besides playing games.24. Why is Gentile’s research mentioned?A．To explain the cause of gaming addiction.B．To show the influence of gaming disorder.C．To show the reasons behind the WHO’ s decision.D．To introduce the study that influenced the WHO’s proposal.25. What can we learn from what Levounis said?A．It needed further research to make it more convincing.B．It would do little to help people with gaming addiction.C．It would encourage new cures for gaming disorder.D．It would encourage studies about similar diseases.26. What does the author intend to tell us about gaming disorder?A．Its description. B．Controversial views.C．Its harmful effects. D．Explanations of the WHO’s decision. Each year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest—an area about the size of Iceland—because of cutting down trees. At that rate, some scientists predict the world’s forests could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials in a lab. This makes it possible to “grow” a wooden product without cutting down trees.In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium for two days, then moved to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones. By adjusting the hormone levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months. Finally, the researchers dehydrate the material, and then evaluate its qualities.They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density, while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics. What’s more, it’s to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster than the time it takes for a tree to grow to maturity!Research of this kind is ground-breaking. “This work demonstrates the great power of a technology,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. “The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to ‘grow’ any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can’t achieve.”27. Why do researchers at MIT conduct the research?A．To grow more trees. B．To protect plant diversity.C．To reduce tree losses. D．To predict forest disappearance.28. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research?A．Its theoretical basis. B．Its key procedures.C．Its scientific evidence. D．Its usual difficulties.29. What does the finding suggest about the plant materials?A．The hormone levels affect their rigidity.B．They are better than naturally grown plants.C．Their cells’ shapes mainly rely on their density.D．Their growth speed determines their characteristics.30. Why is the research ground-breaking according to Berenstain?A．It uses new biological materials in lab experiments.B．It revolutionizes the way to make wooden products.C．It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry.D．It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth.Art comes in two main categories: realistic and abstract. Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects exactly as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs. 31 . It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.Realistic art is easy to understand. Viewers can easily recognize what is portrayed. Take the Mona Lisa, for example—it’s a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile. 32 , helping us to learn about the past.Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. 33 . They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people enjoy trying to figure out what the artwork conveys.34 . Realistic art needs precision in drawing or sculpting to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to demonstrate their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity.As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world diverse and engaging. 35 .Wildlife has been greatly threatened in the modern age. There are species (物种) that are ________ every day. The white-naped crane is a typical example. So scientists are trying their best to________ the species from going out of existence.Chris and Tim work at a zoo, helping endangered cranes with their ________ .

Daily art.BThe Chinese television reality show called “Wonderful Friends”, where entertainers hug whale sharks, kiss lions, feed pandas and dress up baby chimpanzees, has come under fire from wildlife protectors who want it to be stopped, saying such activities are cruel and are dangerous for both the humans and animals.The show is the latest hit from Hunan TV, which has attracted more than 196,000 followers. In each show, popular stars are given zoo-keeping tasks that allow them to interact with wild animals in order to bring humans and animals closer together.Animal welfare advocates(倡导者) say that is exactly what should be avoided. Dave Neale of Animals Asia (an advocacy group) said, “It i s hugely misleading to the public about the needs and welfare of captive animals (圈养动物) and putting the animals’ welfare and health at risk.”“What they don’t realize is that wild animals need space,” said Xie Yan, a zoologist and China director of the W ildlife Conservation Society. “Putting clothes on chimpanzees is not as adorable as you may think from the animals’ point of view.I guess their idea was to get their viewers to love and protect the animals,” Ms. Xie added, “but we do not agree with this approach for entertainment.”Using famous people to focus public attention on wildlife is a common practice in conservation campaigns. The Chinese basketball legend Yao Ming went to Africa and highlighted the problem of elephant and rhinoceros poaching in the documentary “The End of the Wild”. “But differently, he, as a human observer, kept his distance and was there to see the hard truth of poaching, and that is different from a show created to attract viewers.” Ms Xie said.Critics (评论家)also argue that the show breaks Chinese wildlife protection laws.34. Which one of the following statements is TRUE?A. Many people like the show because of its dangerous activities.B. Xie Yan is against persuading the public to love and protect animals.C. The reality show makes no difference to wildlife at all.D. Some think the show is against wildlife protection laws of China.35. According to Ms Xie, “Wonderful Friends” is basically different from “TheEnd of the Wild”, because ______.A. they both invite different popular stars to show upB. they film different numbers and kinds of speciesC. their filming locations are differentD. their purposes and ways to approach animals are different36. What’s the author’s attitude towards “Wonderful Friends”?A. Worried.B. Disappointed.C. Uninterested.D. Not mentioned.37. The passage would most likely be found ______.A. on a notice boardB. in a newspaperC. in a fashion magazineD. in an ad of wildlife protectionCSome of the world's most well-known brands, including Ericsson, Volvo and Ikea, all originated from Sweden．The country also brought us the zipper, used by many men in the world on a daily basis, according to Swedish Wire, a news website．With a population of barely over 9 million and gross domestic production （GDP）at about $538 billion in 2011-just a thirteenth that of China. Sweden seems like an unlikely candidate for a leader of innovation （创新）．Yet, for the past three years, it has consistently topped the European Commission's Regional Innovation Scoreboard, coming first in 2010 and 2012, and second in 2011．Sweden's neighbors, including Denmark, famous for such brands as Nokia and Lego, are also known for their innovative cultures．How have these Scandinavian countries managed to make these achievements?Pasi Sahlerrg, Director General of the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture's Centre for International Mobility, believes the education system is central to the success of Scandinavian countries．A key feature of this system is that every child's education is personalized and teachers are highly trained．"In Finland, 'School-readiness' means getting the school ready to meet the needs of its students, rather than getting the students ready for school," said Sahlerrg．Limited homework, no standardized tests and the absence of a national curriculum are intended to teach students how to manage themselves independently and to organize their time creatively, both vital for encouraging innovation．Of course, there are factors beyond the education system that also determine the rate of innovation．So how to imitate Scandinavia's success in innovation? Foster （培育）a well-educated generation, provide it with the necessary financial resources, establish a supportive policy environment for it to turn the innovative ideas it generates into success．38．The first paragraph is written to _______．A．introduce the topic of the text B．describe some quality productsC．list some famous brands from Sweden D．quote a Swedishwebsite39．As a leading country in innovation, Sweden ______．A．was Number One in innovation over the past three yearsB．is well-known for its innovative culturesC．presents to the world such brands as Nokia and LegoD．had a very high GDP in 201140．According to Pasi Sahlerrg, Scandinavia's success in innovation lies in _____ A．school-readiness B．the system of educationC．teacher training D．personalized teaching41．What is a feature of Scandinavia's education?A．Loads of homework．B．Strict examinations．C．No national curriculum． D．Necessary financial resources．DDo you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it's because we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: "The hand took hold of the ball"), the same mirror neuronstaking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with even more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动).Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物)for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you'll understand why.42. Mirror neurons can explain _____.A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we suffer from a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late43.The underlined word "triggered" in the third paragraph probably means “____”.A. set offB. cut offC. built upD. broken up44.We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _____.A. relate to human behavior and interactionB. control human physical actions and feelingsC. result in bad behavior and social disordersD. determine our knowledge and language abilities45.
