is blue．But it takes a strong person to smile when he or she has every reason to cry!Kiley，from Maryland，is an author，fashion model，motivational speaker and entrepreneur．Since 3 years old，her life has proven to be a journey of surgeries．She was forced to have two permanent ostomies(造口术)，causing her to have ostomy bags for the rest of her life．Carrying not one，but two ostomy bags is not something you would want anyone to go through especially your own child．As a single father，Jay is Kiley’s biggest advocate．When Kiley was 10 years old，she gave a special Father's Day gift to her father to express her gratitude，which was to dance with him at her talent show at schoo1．In the video，the little girl was smiling from ear to ear．They danced along the song．Overcomer of American Idol’s

function．The results of a study by researchers from Bochum suggest that they have fewer，but thickcr fibers in the main connecting tract between the brain hemispheres(半球)．In addition，their motor brain areas are organized more efficiently．This is the conclusion drawn by a research team headed by ra．It was published in the journal Brain and Behavior，online on 4 December 2024．The researchers were interested in drummers because their movement control far surpasses that of untrained people．“Most people can only perform fine motor tasks with one hand and have problems playing different rhythms with both hands at the same time，”explains Lara．“Drummers can do things that are impossible for untrained people．”The team intended to gain new insights into the organization of complex motor processes in the brain by identifying the changes in the brain caused by this training．The researchers tested 20 professional drummers who have played their instrument for an average of 17 years and currently practice for more than ten hours per week．They examined them using various MRI imaging techniques that provide insights into the structure and function of the brain．They then compared the data with measurcments of 24 unmusical control subjects．Both groups had to play drums to test their abilities and were then examined in the MRI scanner．Drummers presented clear differences in the front part of the corpus callosum(胼胝体)responsible for motor planning．The data indicated that the drummers had fewer but thicker fibers in this imponant connecting tract．This allows musicians to exchange information between the hemispheres more quickly than the controls．Although drummers might be good at motor coordination，they are less active in motor tasks than that of control subjects．This phenomenon indicates that a more efficient brain organization in the areas leads to less activation in professionals．8．Which has the closest meaning with the underlined word in Paragraph 2? A．Correspond with．B．Go beyond．C．Differ from．D．Fall behind．9．How did the team identify the changes in drummers’brain?A．By analyzing previous study．B．By organizing complex motor tasks．C．By testing their abilities and scanning the brains．D．By comparing amateur drummers and unmusical people．10．Which statement is true about the drummers?A．They are more active in motor tasks．B．They can play rhythms more quickly．C．They have better imagination and insights．D．They have more efficient brain organization．11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Playing drums changes the brain．B．Playing drums can be trained．C．Playing music makes you active．D．Playing music brings benefits．DVegan leather(纯素皮)，a cruelty-free and environment-friendly substitute for animal leather has long been the ultimate goal of sustainable fashion．Now，an alternative may be making the jump from the lab to cupboards，and its souse may surprise many people：the forest floor．Mycelium(菌体丝)，the fibrous roots of fungi(真菌)，is being made into durable clothes and bags with a lower carbon cost than animal’s skin or plastic，and it’s a material that won’t pile up in landfills．While products made from it aren’t available to buy yet，industry experts say the material has great potential to influence the market for animal and synthetic(合成的)leathers．And it has a unique look and feel．Leather production relies on skin from cattle and sheep，whose raising is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions．Leather processing also uses dangerous chemicals and generates large amounts of waste from treating raw skin．By contrast，fungi’s growth is effectively carbon neutral since they catch and store carbon that would otherwise be emitted or remain in the atmosphere，according to Nature．Pure and untreated fungi-1eather also breaks down easily．A number of companies are relying on consumer’s interest in a true fungi leather．Some 66％US respondents to a survey by the consulting firm Mckinscy&Company said they consider sustainability when making a luxury purchase．California-based Mekino is perhaps closest to producing a commercially available product called Reishi．“It has the same quality and artistic value as animal leather and it will be launched in partnership with top brands in the coming months．”said Sophia Wang，the company’s co-founder．One of the challengs with fungi-leather is making a uniform “mat”with consistentthickness，appearance and color，according to Nature．It’s also necessary to balance durability with biodegradability(降解) ．12．What do we know about Mycelium?A．Its products are available now．B．It is likely to gain some market share．C．It has a high carbon emission．D．It accounts for alarge part of waste．13.How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?A．By making a comparison. B．By reasoning and arguning．C．By analyzing the reasearch process． D．By providing background information．14．What can we infer from Paragraph4?A．Most people like animal leather．B．Consumers are indifferent to Reishi．C．Sophia has confidence in Reishi．D．Mckino ranks among top brands．15．In which part of a newspaper can we see the passage? A．Opinion．B．Agriculture．C．Fashion．D．Lifestyle．其次节(共5 小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

We’d seen our tough, sharp-witted mom change. But Mom was not about to take Alzheimer’s lying down. “There’s nothing wrong with me!” she insisted, even after she sideswiped a cop, denied doing it and then blamed it all on him.Eventually my brother and his wife moved Mom to a sweet little house on the property next to theirs so they could keep an eye on her. They built a lighted path between the two houses so Mom could visit when she wanted, which occasionally happened at 5:00 a.m. when she thought it was 5:00 p.m. At Christmas, my sister-in-law, Toni, would hang Christmas lights along the way.One thing we couldn’t do was make her eat properly, especially after she nearly burned the house down making tuna (金枪鱼) salad. So we arranged for a senior meals-on-wheels program to deliver her meals. At first she wouldn’t let them in the house. “This is ridiculous,” she said. “I know how to eat!” Then she offered to help them deliver meals to “people who really need them”.Eventually she relented — except that she would simply keep all the meals in the fridge, untouched, in case she happened to have hungry visitors. When we told the volunteers this, they were wonderfully wise and pretty soon they got Mom to eat. She even admitted that the food was “pretty good, considering”. We’re convinced the good nutrition helped keep her in her home a little longer before she had to enter a care facility.So how proud am I that our friends at Volunteers of America, which operates meals-on-wheels programs for the elderly all over the country? Very proud. It was angels, after all, who were able to get my mother to eat.4. What do we know about the author’s mother?A. She troubled the family a lot.B. She never suffered from Alzheimer.C. She was a woman lacking intelligence.D. She was easy to get along with.5. How did the family help Mom?A. They lived together with her.B. They had her house beautifully decorated.C. They assisted her in cooking matters.D. They arranged delivered meals for her.6. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “relented” in paragraph 5?A. Panicked.B. Apologized.C. Agreed.D. Responded.7. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. Angels on WheelsB. A Lesson from Miserable LifeC. Living with AlzheimerD. Volunteering for the DisabledCOn Monday, December 5, online retailing (零售) giant Amazon announced the opening of its first physical store. Called Amazon Go, the Seattle-based store that is currently being tested by company employees, learns from regular grocery stores except for one thing — “Just Walk Out” technology. All purchases are handled electronically, which means there are no cashiers, checkouts or lines. Shoppers simply take what they need and leave.To shop at Amazon Go, customers need to open an Amazon account and download the store’s App onto their smartphones. Upon entering the store, they scan a QR code (二维码) with their phones and begin shopping. Every item picked up gets added to the bill automatically. If the customer changes his/her mind, all he/she has to do is return the purchase back on the shelf, and it will be removed from the final bill. Once the customer leaves the store, the amount spent is automatically taken out from the Amazon account and a digital receipt is generated to remind the shopper of the trade.To provide busy customers a pleasant shopping experience, Amazon, which has beenworking on this concept for four years, plans to keep the store size at a “comfortable” 1,800 square feet. In addition to typical grocery products like bread and milk, the store will stock ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch and dinner options, made by on-site chefs. There will also be chef-designed Amazon Meal boxes for those who prefer to cook the food at home.After years of joint efforts by Amazon staff, Amazon Go finally opened in 2021. Amazon will not provide any insight into the cutting-edge “Just Walk Out” technology. The company website states, “The checkout-free shopping experience is enabled by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion and deep learning.”8. What is the advantage of Amazon Go over regular grocery stores?A. Store size.B. Shopping speed.C. Product price.D. Parking convenience.9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Why to download the store’s App.B. How to open an Amazon account.C. How to shop at Amazon Go.D. What to buy at Amazon Go.10. What can we infer from paragraph 3?A. People can shop and eat at Amazon Go.B. Chefs will offer on-site cooking lessons.C. 1,800 square feet is the best size of grocery stores.D. Amazon spent years improving its service.11. What makes possible the checkout-free shopping experience?A. High-technology products.B. The help of the car industry.C. The deep learning method.D. Teamwork by Amazon staff.DNo doubt that humans have widely changed, developed, and exploited (开发) much of the natural world for our own ends. But how much of the land surface remains free of our often-harmful influence?In a new study, scientists compared figures from four different sets of data using different kinds of methods and classification (分类) systems to answer this question. On average, the researchers say roughly half (48 to 56 percent) of the world’s land shows “low” influence of humans. While the figures may inspire many — stressing the vast expanse of significantly untouched lands that can still be protected through conservation measures — the study also shows just how much of the Earth has already been occupied and used by humans.In fact, only about a quarter (20 to 34 percent) of the planet’s ice-free land surface shows “very low” signs of human influence, the researchers say, and the parts of the planet that we have left alone up until now constitute (构成) some of the least livable places on Earth. In other words, whether through urbanization, forestry, agriculture or other means, humans have applied the most influence on biodiverse land that presented ripe and easy opportunities for immediate human needs; in contrast, roasting deserts in the world’s hottest places, or frozen wastelands in its coldest spots, have been ignored.Even so, the researchers say the results shown here give us a strong, clear marker that we can use to help structure existing and future conservation efforts by preventing disturbance on existing low influenced areas, meanwhile, recovering areas for conservation in land that has already been exploited too much.“The encouraging takeaway from this study is that if we act quickly and decisively (果断地)，there is a slim window in which we can still conserve roughly half of the Earth’s land in a relatively untouched state,” says biologist and lead author of the study, Jason Riggio.There’s a chance, right now, to draw a line in the sand, and say “no more”.12.

山东省济南市2022-2023学年高三开学摸底考试英语试题
山东省济南市2022-2023学年高三开学摸底考试英语试题一、阅读理解On today’s blog post, I’ll be talking about my favorite magazines. I love reading books & magazines, and I’m learning so many useful tips about healthy living, daily life, etc.Women’s HealthWomen’s Health has a unique content. You can find various interesting information about healthy living or exercises you can do at home. I also love their writers because they explain every topicso simple that you can even understand biological articles.Healthy Food GuideI totally recommend it to everyone because it has lots of useful information about being healthy during your daily life. In this magazine, you can find articles about foods you often eat but don’t have much idea what it contains or if they’re healthy. If you are searching for new diets, this magazine gives you all the information.Time OutTime Out is a well-known magazine and it’s free in my city. Every time I see a Time Out magazine, I get it because it has lots ofuseful tips. I got Time Out London when I was in London, and I discovered new restaurants, galleries, museums, and events. This magazine has various information about the city life. For example, it gives you the events that are happening near you. It gives you tipsfor the railway stations and other transportation choices.La Cucina ItalianaIf you love cooking Italian food, this magazine is for you! Ithas lots of recipes and also restaurant reviews. You can also find popular restaurants near you in this magazine. I’ve also readarticles by famous chefs from my city.1.

It keeps them occupied.”Numbers show that at-home entertainment is doing better than ever, flying in the financial face of so many industries that arestruggling in this difficult time.The gaming experience, too, has changed with the years. Fiveyears ago, online gaming was considered a one-person activity. And although games can still be played alone, the social factor isgrowing quickly. “Over a third of families will play games together online.” said David Williams, who heads up the Kids and Family Games Group. “They’re staying home more, and they’re using games to connect with one another.”When it comes to the games children play, many parents such asLisa Moore may choose to sit it out. But Christina Vercelletto, a senior editor at Parenting magazine, says that engaging in the games with them can do a family good. “It can be an opportunity to bondwith your kids,” she said. If parents express interest, kids “will probably be heated. And you’ll get a little window into what hasthem so excited.” Plus, by playing the games, parents can determine how comfortable they are with what their kids are doing.For those who want to get the opinions of others, Christina Vercelletto points out that the Entertainment Software Rating Board provides feedback and that parents are always learning from one another on discussion boards.4. What does the underlined word “precarious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Appropriate. B．Precious. C．Stable. D．Tough.5. Which of the following shows the benefit of at-home entertainment?A．Controlling children’s behavior. B．Helping solve financial trouble.C．Making a good family relationship. D．Forming a sense of independence.6. What should parents do while their kids are playing gamesaccording to Christina?A．Join in. B．Sit out. C．Watch out. D．Walk around.7. What is the main topic of the text?A．Family relationship. B．At-home entertainment. C．Benefits of playing games. D．Ways to connect with kids.Every summer artists perform at Fringe (边缘) Festivals aroundthe world. Fringe Festivals are a celebration of strange art. They have all kinds of performers—from dancers, musicians and actors to everything in between. The shows give artists a chance to create unusual art. For festival goers, each show is a time to experience something different.The first Fringe Festival was held in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1947. That was also the year of the first Edinburgh International Festival. Artists from around the world traveled to Scotland for the Edinburgh International Festival. They performed at arts centers throughout the city. Eight local theater companies did not receive an invitation, however. In response, they performed at smaller spaces around Edinburgh. These artists performed wherever they could, including churches and even on the street. They started their own culturalevent and named it the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.What started as an alternative to the mainstream has now becomethe world’s largest arts festival. Today, there are hundreds of Fringe Festivals taking place around the world. The one in Washington, D.C., called the Capital Fringe Festival, is in its tenth year. Itwas held in the month of July.Julianne Brienza founded the Capital Fringe Festival. She went to a school for the performing arts, but now sees herself mainly as an organizer of the festival. Brienza believes that fringe performance art is special and can have a powerful effect.The Capital Fringe Festival takes place in different locations throughout the D. C. area. Some performances happen in traditional theaters. Others happen in unusual settings like old, empty buildings or stores after business hours are over.Brienza says the purpose of Fringe festivals is to explore the limits of art in unique environments. Since 2006, the event has made more than $1. 7 million. It is the second largest Fringe Festival in the U. S. and its popularity has grown every year. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe continues throughout the month of August.8. Who may be interested in Fringe Festivals?A．Strange art lovers. B．Professionalartists.C．Classicalmusicians.D．Traditionalculture supporters.9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．Why Edinburgh became the global art center. B．How the first Fringe Festival came into being.C．When the Edinburgh International Festival was held. D．Where the Edinburgh Festival Fringe was celebrated.10. What can we know about the Capital Fringe Festival?A．It is the world’s largest arts festival. B．It has no fixed places for celebration.C．It can never be accepted by the public. D．It has a longer history than other festivals.11. Which of the following may Brienza probably agree about Fringe Festivals?A．They raise people’s love of festivals. B．They limit the development of arts.C．Formal arts are looked down upon. D．Chances are offered to unusual arts.Some scientists have traced the increase in earthquakes, especially in areas not known for the presence of fault lines or past seismic (地震的) activity, to human actions. The idea of humans causing earthquakes may seem strange at first. After all, you can run around your backyard and jump up and down as you want, and the ground isn’t going to start shaking. However, scientists have identified avariety of large scale human activities that can result in earthquakes.Scientists have confirmed over 700 places where human activities have caused earthquakes over the last century. While many human-related earthquakes are mild and don’t cause much damage, some of them can be serious and dangerous. In fact, scientists believe human activity has caused earthquakes with magnitudes as high as 7.9 on the Richter scale.Scientists believe most human-related earthquakes are the result of mining. As companies drill deeper and deeper below Earth’s surface to get natural resources, holes left behind can cause instability that leads to collapses that cause earthquakes. Another human activity leading to earthquakes is fracking (水力压裂) for oil and gas, including the high pressure waste water processing that usually goes with fracking. In this process, water, sand and chemicals are pressed underground under high pressure to break rocks to release natural resources.Building large dams can also cause earthquakes. For example, about 80, 000 people died in China in 2008 as a result of a 7.9-magnitude earthquake caused by 320 million tons of water that had been collected in the Zipingpu Reservoir after a large dam was built over a known fault line.These aren’t the only human activities that can result in earthquakes, though. Scientists point out that earthquakes can also be caused by other human activities, such as construction of skyscrapers and nuclear explosions.12. What does the underlined part “fault lines” in Paragraph 1refer to?A．Regions with active human actions. B．Places associated with natural balance.C．Zones where natural resources are rich. D．Areas where earthquakes tend to happen.13. What do mining and oil producing have in common?A．They break the balance of nature. B．They destroy the stability of rocks.C．They use high pressure to get resources. D．They do much damage to Earth’s surface.14. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A．The 2008 earthquake is the worst B．Construction of dams should bein history. stopped.C ．Tons of water must cause earthquakes.D ．The location of a dam matters much.15. What does the text mainly tell us?A ．Nature punishes humans by means of earthquakes.B ．Progress has been made on earthquake research.C ．Humans are to blame for someearthquakes.D ．Earthquakes are no longer nature-made.二、七选五Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important festivals in Chinese calendar. The festival typically involves family getting together to share mooncakes while watching the moon. Typical Chinese mooncakes are round in shape, and measure around 10 cm in diameter and 4-5 cm in thickness. Most mooncakes consist of a thin tender skin enveloping a sweet, dense filling.16 . It is a custom for housewives to prepare mooncakes at home when the festival is approaching. Now let's learn to make traditional Chinese mooncakes.Above all, full preparations should be made, including materials such as dough (生面团), flour, water, sugar and vegetable oil, and fillings —lotus seed paste (莲子蓉) and eggs.Mix together all the materials to get a dough. 17 Next, separate the egg yolks from the whites and salt the steamed yolks. While the oven is preheating to 180 degrees Celsius, roll the lotus paste and the dough into small balls. 18 .Then, shape up with each consisting of a dough wrapper, one ball of lotus paste, and one half of a salted egg yolk. Make a hole in a ball of lotus and put the yolk inside. Similarly, cover the lotus ball (with the yolk inside) with a wrapper. 19 . Then shape it with the mold (模具).20 . Take them out after 5 minutes and brush them with the egg wash. Put the mooncakes back until they become golden brown.Remember to wait to eat the mooncakes for two days when they will be soft and also look shiny.A．A mooncake ball is made.B．Prepare the salted egg yolks.C．Finally, put all mooncakes into the oven.D．Flatten each piece of dough into a thin wrapper.E．There're many stories about mooncakes and Chang'e.F．Mooncakes are the must-eat food for the Mid-Autumn Festival. G．Covered with plastic wrap, it should be set aside for at least 3 hours.三、完形填空I am seven years older than my twin cousins. When I was 8 or 9 years old, they just learned how to 21 .

2024届江苏省南通等六市高三第一次模拟考试英语试题
2024届江苏省南通等六市高三第一次模拟考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Where to Eat in Kuala LumpurGreat restaurants in Kuala Lumpur offer a genuine global dining experience. Whether you are looking to enjoy hearty comfort food or some local delicacies, the city’s dining scene satisfies all comers.Mum’s PlaceNothing brings more comfort than mom’s cooking. With recipes inspired by the owners’ mother, this restaurant brings you Nyonya dishes that are truly Malaysian. Located in the district of Damansara Perdana, Mum’s Place is a neighbourhood restaurant with its main customers from residents nearby. Some of the best dishes include cencaru fish, devil curry chicken and beef rendang.CantaloupeLocated about 20 minutes from downtown Malacca, it is a home-based eatery with about 10 tables manned by four operators. Unlike most restaurants, food is self-service here, with dishes placed on catering pans for customers to choose from. It serves traditional Malaysian dishes with distinct Chinese influences. You will find rice dumplings and chicken rendang among the offerings. It has two branches in the city. Their dishes sell out fast, so it’d be best to head there before lunch time.YumYum RestaurantSituated in the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel, Yum Yum Restaurant is among the locals’ many favourite spots to dine at. It offers an interesting Nyonya and Thai food with Chinese influences that make them stand out. The classic dishes include sambal petai prawns, assam fish head and Yum Yum egg. It can get crowded here, so it’d be best to head there early or call ahead for reservations.Troika Sky DiningOffering fine dining, the impressive Troika Sky Dining undoubtedly stands out from the pack. Set on the 23rd floor of Tower B of The Troika, it goes without saying that the cloud-skimming views here are something else entirely. The food is what helped it stand out. It serves award-winning French, Italian, Greek, and Spanish food and adventurous menu ofhigh-end pizzas and pasta.1．What do Mum’s Place and Yum Yum Restaurant have in common?A．They are based in hotels.B．They serve Nyonya dishes.C．They need prior reservations.D．They offer breathtaking views. 2．Which restaurant serves western food?A．Mum’s Place.B．Cantaloupe.C．Yum Yum Restaurant.D．Troika Sky Dining.3．What’s special about Cantaloupe?A．It is a buffet restaurant.B．It serves hard-to-find dishes.C．It has branches throughout Asia.D．It opens for lunch earlier than others.The motivation for his invention came to Aarrav Anil last year when he saw his uncle Arjun, who has Parkinson’s disease, struggle to eat. Some food spilled (溢出) out of his mouth, the rest splattered (溅) on his clothes. Arjun attempted to keep his dignity but the frustration forced him to give up and call his helper to feed him.The sight of his uncle’s shaking the spoon so violently inspired Aarrav, 17, from Bengaluru, south India, to turn to robotics. He locked himself in his room with microcontrollers, sensors, motors, and a 3D printer. What emerged was a prototype (原型) of a smart spoon that is now undergoing trials at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru.The sensors in the battery-operated spoon detect shaking on one side and activate movement on the other, effectively cancelling out shaking to keep the spoon stable.“I’ve been fine tuning the design based on the college’s feedback-that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; that it must be removable so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork, ” Aarrav says.For Aarrav it is the peak of a 10-year interest in mechanics that began when his mother bought him a Lego set. He has now represented India at more than 20 robotics competitions across the world.When the blueprint for the smart spoon won first prize in the future innovators category at last year’s World Robot Olympiad in Germany, Aarrav felt encouraged to make the prototype.More than 7 million people in India are estimated to have Parkinson’s disease, a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged and which mainlyaffects people over the age of 50. Symptoms (症状) include involuntary shaking and stiff muscles. As the disease progresses, eating can become more difficult, forcing people to rely on help from others.Aarrav’s ambition is that every family that has someone with Parkinson’s will have the smart spoon. He says his uncle Arjun’s words keep echoing (回响) in his mind: “Who would have thought such a small thing could mean the difference between dignity and indignity?”4．What can Aarrav’s invention help people with Parkinson’s do?A．Control their physical balance.B．Boost their mood and relieve stress.C．Maintain a good range of movement.D．Feed themselves more independently. 5．What does the underlined part “fine tuning” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Overturning.B．Reconsidering.C．Conducting a study of.D．Making minor changes to.6．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Parkinson’s in India?A．To show prospects of Aarrav’s invention.B．To reveal the nation’s poor health situation.C．To popularize general knowledge of the disease.D．To convince people to volunteer for social causes.7．What can be learned about Aarrav from the text?A．He enjoys being alone.B．He has an innovative mind.C．He used to be a health worker.D．He longed to be a businessman.Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World is one of the more important books about climate change to have been written. Hayhoe is a gifted public speaker and Saving Us is a follow-up to her awesome TED talk in 2018, “The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: talk about it”.One of the many refreshing aspects of this book is that Hayhoe recounts both her successes and her failures to communicate, through which she has gathered evidence about what works and what does not. Much of the book’s advice is common sense, all backed up not just by Hayhoe’s experience but also with convincing research by psychologists and social scientists.Hayhoe advises against trying to engage with a small minority, the “Dismissives”, who “angrily reject the idea that human-caused climate change is a threat; they are most receptiveto misinformation and conspiracy theories (阴谋论)”. There is a warning that offering up more facts about climate change can actually increase polarisation among them.The book includes amusing examples of her encounters with the “Dismissives”, almost entirely older men-including an engineer who was unconvinced about the evidence but with whom she was able to establish mutual (相互的) respect through a shared passion for knitting (打毛线衣)—and is packed with inspiring accounts of how she has won over even the most suspicious of crowds. Her motto is “bond, connect and inspire”, which represents her approach of always looking for points of commonality.She also tells of a man who approached her after an event in London in 2019. He had been so inspired by her TED talk that he had started to speak to everybody he could in his neighborhood of Wandsworth. He showed her details of 12, 000 conversations that had taken place as a result, claiming that they had helped to convince the council to declare a climate emergency and to switch investments from fossil fuels to renewable energy.And so, while it may feel difficult to influence the outcome of the COP26, Hayhoe’s uplifting book makes a persuasive case that we can all do our bit to bring about success just by talking about the issue.8．What does the book mainly focus on?A．Sharing climate communication tips.B．Teaching presentation skills with TED talks.C．Exploring critical thinking through literature.D．Promoting people’s insight into climate change.9．Which of the following best describes the advice in the book?A．Humorous but one-sided.B．Novel but contradictory.C．Serious and hard to follow.D．Well-based and workable.10．How did Hayhoe win over the “Dismissives”?A．By changing their political identity.B．By challenging their fundamental beliefs.C．By offering more facts about climate change.D．By seeking common ground built on a shared love.11．What does the author want to say by telling the story in paragraph 5?A．World shift to clean energy is unstoppable.B．We should help people prepare for the climate crisis.C．Policymakers are less responsive to market changes.D．Conversations can influence climate decision-making.Ramirez Castañeda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill. Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time-and it means that some of her findings were never published.“It’s not that I’m a bad scientist,” she says. “It’s just because of the language.”Castañeda is not alone. There is plenty of research in non-English-language papers that gets lost in translation, or is never translated. A research looked through more than 400, 000 peer-reviewed papers in 16 different languages and found 1, 234 studies providing evidence on biodiversity conservation which, because they weren’t in English, may have been overlooked. These included Japanese-language findings on the effectiveness of relocating the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl, the largest owl species.Some experts argue that for the sake of the bigger picture, scientific knowledge should converge (转换) into one common language. Science is very globalised and becoming more so, so the use of a global language is enormous for that.Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator-but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.“So we’re losing observations for science, too, ” says Castañeda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English. We need multilingual (多语种的) science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.”12．What prevented Castañeda’s discoveries from being more widely known?A．Poor management.B．Opposition from her colleagues.C．Her bad reputation.D．The language barrier.13．What’s the consequence of the dominant focus on English in scientific research?A．Inefficient wildlife conservation.B．A knowledge gap in the scientific world.C．A growing interest in non-English papers.D．Inadequate job opportunities for translators.14．What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning forest snakes and frogs?A．The urgency to protect rare species.B．The need to adopt one global language.C．The challenges in translating scientific texts.D．The biodiversity on the South American continent.15．What is presented in the last paragraph of the text?A．A potential solution.B．A theoretical model.C．A popular belief.D．A global trend.Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior. It may feel awkwardlearn how to apologize.First of all, wait until the right time and you are in the right place. Although public apology is often appropriate, discretion (谨慎) should be used. 17 Remember, you will be raising a topic that may recall a bad experience or bad feelings. Be respectful as you approach this task.Be direct and brief in your approach. Acknowledge the fact that injury has occurred and then take responsibility for what happened. Be sincere in expressing your regret and demonstrate your willingness to take ownership of the situation. 18Even if you follow these steps, be prepared for rejection. Sometimes, the person apologizing has an expectation that the apology will lead to immediate forgiveness and acceptance. 19 If you think of the offense (冒犯) as an emotional bruise (瘀伤), think of the healing process as the color changes we see as a bruise heals.20 Knowing when to keep one’s mouth shut is a virtue. Keeping quiet may be very difficult, as post-apology listening is not easy. We may hear unpleasant observations from another about our own shortcomings. We may hear the expression of anger. One of theways we let others know we are truly responsible and accountable for our mistakes is by listening to the other party pour out the feelings associated with our actions.A．Forgiveness and acceptance may take time.B．To give or receive a good apology is an art.C．But with practice, everyone can learn to do it.D．Listening to the response to our apologies is important.E．Most apologies can and should happen in a private setting.F．In other words, avoid excuses and offer to repair the damage.G．Taking responsibility doesn’t mean accepting blame for everything.二、完形填空Last Christmas, I volunteered for WNWNB, a charity which takes surplus (剩余的)24．A．broke away from B．put up with C．cut in onD．warmed up to25．A．threaten B．encourage C．allow D．command 26．A．why B．how C．where D．when 27．A．opened B．repaired C．cleaned D．guarded 28．A．costly B．unfinished C．deserted D．ready 29．A．declined B．reacted C．argued D．traded 30．A．purchases B．interviews C．deliveries D．schedules 31．A．meal B．chat C．report D．silence 32．A．proud B．free C．lonely D．content 33．A．connect with B．look after C．turn to D．rely on 34．A．conversations B．budgets C．explanations D．deals 35．A．hesitated B．started C．ignored D．struggled三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

But he was not cut off from outside: he shared his love for country music over the Internet. “Hello, everybody. It’s a bright day in Tennessee,” he said into his microphone. “This is Bob Coleman, coming to you from Room3325…”.Then Coleman began to play the music he loves-hits from country music stars. The 88-year-old carefully chooses each song.Coleman and several other retirees have turned into DJs (流行音乐播音员), for a new online radio hour known as “Radio Recliner.” A marketing company called Luckie came up with the idea of Radio Recliner. Listeners can send song requests in honor of family or friends. For example, listeners might hear a message like this: “Hey, Granny. This is your favorite granddaughter Amy. We just wanted to call in and say we love you.” The 60-minute show started with retirees in middle Tennessee. It has since expanded, with residents of assisted-living centers in other states taking part in the project. Many jumped at the chance to work as a DJ to ease the loneliness of social distancing rules.Mitch Bennett serves as Luckie’s chief creative officer. He says the idea was to provide a sense of community to older people. “For this generation, radio was the original social media,” Bennett said, “Dedicating a song to someone you love and having them hear it along with everyone else is a special way of connecting.”In Georgia, 80-year-old Ed Rosenblatt, who had made full preparations for his show, said an hour he spent playing songs on Radio Recliner resulted in a flood of text messages, emails and calls from family and friends, and many of the messages were from people he had not heard from for years.4．What did Bob Coleman do during the epidemic?A．He organized a band at his living center.B．He earned money by singing on the radio.C．He created new country music for friends.D．He shared country music hits over the Internet.5．Why were retirees active to work for Radio Recliner?A．They wanted to get connected with the world.B．They wanted to show their love for Tennessee.C．They wanted to build more assisted-living centers.D．They wanted to help others get in touch with their relatives.6．Which of the following can best describe these old DJs?A．Optimistic and devoted.B．Humorous and active.C．Lonely and pessimistic.D．Diligent and generous.7．What’s the best title for the text?A．Older Adults Need More Care During the EpidemicB．Older Adults, Stuck by the Epidemic, Turn Into DJsC．Older Adults Were Busy With Music During the EpidemicD．Older Adults, Stuck by the Epidemic, Show Music TalentsGifts and packaging play a crucial role in providing an income and educating visitors.After enjoying a museum or art gallery, Milly Zi, a management adviser in Beijing, usually visits the souvenir shop to buy something to remember the visit. About a decade ago, Zi was attracted by a roll of sticky tape in Taipei Palace Museum. The tape, designed in red, yellow and white, had four Chinese characters making a phrase: zhen zhi dao le-a sentence of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, meaning “I am aware.” “The product has history and culture in it,” Zi said, “And it has aroused my interest to learn more about the history behind them.”The latest digital technology is also helping museums to be more creative. In October 2021, the Hubei Provincial Museum released 10,000 digital copies of the sword of Gou Jian, king of the state of Yue during the Warring States period, a famous cultural relic on display in the museum. Its popularity can be gauged by how quickly it sold out. “All the copies were sold in just three seconds,” said Wang Xianfu, deputy head of the museum.Digital collections go beyond the restrictions of time and space, making museums more open, interesting and modern. “It’s a new experience, a combination of civilization and modern high-tech,” Wang said.“The popularity of digital cultural relics has resulted in more museums exploring the concept. Digitized cultural relics are a new form of cultural creative products, which can be sold, purchased, collected and used.” Ma Xiaoli said, head of the museum in Henan.“I think museums have two functions-to remember and to spread Chinese culture,” said YuLin, manager of the Development Department at Ant Group, “I hope new technologies will promote Chinese culture in a way the younger generation is happy to accept.”8．Why did the tape attract Milly Zi?A．It was used by Kangxi.B．It had a long history.C．It was creatively designed.D．It was a digital cultural relic.9．What does the underlined word “gauged” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Judged.B．Guarded.C．Developed.D．Gained. 10．Why does the author mention the digital products of Gou Jian Sword?A．To emphasize the importance of Chinese cultural relics.B．To make an advertisement for Hubei Provincial Museum.C．To illustrate a modern technology to make museums’ work effective.D．To popularize the ancient Chinese civilizations of Warring States period. 11．What should be done nowadays to make museums more attractive?A．Open more souvenir shops.B．Produce more cultural gifts.C．Go digitized with modern technology.D．Invite experts to give lectures on Chinese history.Sunlight may have helped remove as much as 17 percent of the oil on the surface of the Gulf of Mexico following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill (泄漏). That means that sunlight plays a bigger role in cleaning up such spills than previously thought, researchers suggested on February 16.When sunlight shines on spilled oil in the sea, it can kick off a chain of chemical reactions, transforming the oil into new compounds. Some of these reactions can increase how easily the oil dissolves in water, called photodissolution (光溶解). But there has been little data on how much of the oil becomes water-soluble.To assess this, environmental chemists Danielle Haas Freeman and Collin Ward, both of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, placed samples of the Macondo oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill on glass disks and irradiated (照射) them with light using LEDs that send out wavelengths found in sunlight. The two then chemically analyzed the irradiated oil to see how much was transformed into dissolved organic carbon.The most important factors in photodissolution, the researchers found, were the thickness of the slick and the wavelengths of light. Longer wavelengths dissolved less oil, possibly because they are more easily scattered by water, than shorter wavelengths. How long the oil was exposed to light was not as important.Though the team didn’t specifically test for seasonal or latitude differences, computer simulations based on the lab data suggested that those factors, as well as the oil’s chemical makeup, also matter.The researchers estimate irradiation helped dissolve from 3 to 17 percent of surface oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill, comparable to processes such as evaporation and grounding on coastlines. What impact the sunlight-produced compounds might have on marine ecosystems, however, isn’t yet known.12．In which section of a news website may this text appear?A．Education.B．Science.C．Travel.D．Health. 13．How does sunlight remove the spilled oil in the ocean?A．By transforming the oil into water.B．By turning the oil into dissolved organic carbon.C．By speeding up the chemical reactions of water.D．By preventing the chemical reactions of the oil.14．What matters most in photodissolution according to Danielle and Collin?A．The oil’s chemical makeup.B．The time of exposure to light.C．Seasonal and latitude differences.D．The thickness of the slick andwavelengths of light.15．What’s the text mainly about?A．Various factors affect the photodissolution of oil spills in the ocean.B．The Deepwater Horizon spill greatly damaged the marine ecosystem.C．Sunlight may help clean up oil spills in the ocean more than previously thought.D．Sunlight-produced compounds might have a great impact on marine ecosystems.二、七选五What will you say when you don’t know how to answer a job interview question?16Whatever you do, don’t lie.If you can’t draw from personal experience to answer a question, it’s alright to say something like, “ 17 But here’s how I think I would handle it.” The biggest mistake is when candidates attempt to lie instead of acknowledging what they don’t know.18If you don’t understand what they’re asking, request clarification. Rambling is the worst mistake a job candidate can make when they don’t know how to answer. They think if they talk long enough, people will think they are answering the questions. Don’t do that. When you are rambling, it shows you are a poor communicator. It demonstrates confidence to say, “Hey, can you clarify? I want to share the right insights and the most relevant information with you.” 19Don’t give up and just say “I don’t know,” either.Advocate for the person you are. It’s OK to admit you have not yet acquired a specific skill or faced a certain problem. 20 Say something like. “I don’t know that yet, but I’m willing to learn that skill”, showing your willingness to learn new things. Redirect your answer and share how the skills you’ve gained in another capacity have prepared for the target opportunity.A．Don’t ramble and hope for the best.B．Here are several tips that you can follow.C．Don’t be afraid of making mistakes at any time.D．I haven’t been placed in that situation specifically yet.E．But don’t just say I don’t know when you can’t answer.F．You should learn a new skill to become more confident than others.G．Asking to repeat the question might also save time to think of an answer.三、完形填空When Nasrudin was walking near his home, he saw a man sitting dispiritedly at the side of the road. He went to him and asked what 21 him.“There is 22 interesting in life.” said the man, “I have 23 money so that I don’t have to work, and I am only on this trip to 24 something more interesting and entertaining than the life I have at home. 25 I haven’t found it!”Without another word, Nasrudin 26 the traveler’s backpack and ran away like a 27 .
