ABrenda Schmitz wrote a letter with three wishes right before she died, but asked a friend not to mail it until her husband had fallen in love again.Brenda Schmitz, a wife and mother of four boys, passed away from ovarian cancer(卵巢癌) in September 2011.A month before she died, Brenda wrote a letter to the Des Moines, Iowa, radio station “Star”. She asked a friend to wait to mail it until her husband, David, had fallen in love again.Every year, the station takes submissions for Christmas wishes, granting a select few. The station brought in David and surprised him by saying they had received a letter from his wife.“When you are in receipt of this letter, I will have already lost my battle to ovarian cancer,” Brenda wrote. “I told my friend once my loving husband David had moved on in his life and had met someone to share his life with again, to mail this letter to all of you at the station.”B renda’s first request was a day of pampering for David’s new love, Jayne Abraham, who he met in October 2012. “She deserves it, being a stepmother to all those boys,” Brenda wrote. “Make her smile and know her efforts are truly appreciated from me.”B renda also asked for a “magical trip” for the family, and lastly, a night out full of drinks, food, and fun for the cancer doctors at the Hospital where she was treated.“We’ve been doing the Christmas Wish program for 20-plus years. We’ve never received a wish like this, ever,” station manager Scott Allen said.All three of Brenda’s wishes were granted by the station and local sponsors, who sent the family of eight to Disney World. “There wasn’t a dry eye in the room when we got [the letter],” Allen said. “It really inspired us to do something for her.”1. When David was told that the radio station received a letter from Brenda, he was first______.A. excitedB. desperateC. pitifulD. surprised2. What does the underlined sentence mean in the passage?A. Brenda wouldn’t gamble any moreB. Brenda died from the illnessC. Brenda was defeated in the battleD. Brenda wouldn’t love her husband.3. Knowing the story, Scott Allen was______.A. happyB. angryC. sadD. touchedBFar away, in a forest outside Oslo, Norway, 1,000 newly planted trees are growing. When the trees are full-size, they will be cut down and used to make paper. The paper will be used to make copies of an unusual book. The book will contain 100 stories by 100 authors written over the course of 100 years.Scottish artist Katie Paterson began the project last year. “We’re asking one writer a year to submit a story,” Paterson said. Subject, style, and length are up to the author, However, it is 100 years later that the stories can be revealed.What’s the point of asking authors to write stories that readers alive today will never get to enjoy?” The project is a lot about the imagination,” she says. “It’s about thinking about the future and developing an artwork that’s not just for now but for a future generation.”Paterson got the idea for the project while drawing tree rings in a notebook. Each ring in a tree’s trunk represents one year of growth. That inspired her to create a project that ties the present with the future. The idea seemed so far that she set it aside. But a few years later, Paterson had the opportunity to take part in a program called Slow Space. Organizers were looking for projects designed to unfold over time. Paterson’s was one of three selected. The first work for the book was completed this year. The manuscript is being held at Oslo’s public library, where a special room house the growing collection of stories.“More and more, paper books are phased out,” Paterson says. She notes that Oslo’s library has had thousands of digital books. Hopefully, she says that she expects the future generations will be excited enough to shout, “Look! They’re paper books!”4. What’s the purpose of the project according t o Paterson?A. Protecting the forest.B. Setting up a libraryC. Leaving behind some paper books for future generationsD. Encouraging more authors to create more wonderful works.5. How did the idea of the project occur to Paterson?A. Inspired by tree ringsB. Inspired by the libraryC. Inspired by the ecological environmentD. Inspired by the program of Slow Space.6. What’s the proper meaning of the underlined part?A. Dying outB. Lit upC. Coming to lifeD. Passed down7. It can be inferred that______.A. the stories inside the book will remain secret until 2115B. the stories inside the book will be selected among manyC. the book will record the biggest events during 100 yearsD. the book will be held in the form of both paper and digitalCFruit powered digital clockFruit’s not only good to eat, but it can also power this Fruit Digital Clock.

Dump more, pay more."The new system requires local residents to pay more when they dump more garbage, and pay less if they dump less," said Bao Lunjun, chief engineer of the Guangzhou Administrative Committee of Urban Management.Under the new system, each family in the pilot housing estates (住宅区)will receive 60personalized trash bags - 30 for kitchen waste and 30 for other garbage - each month. Currently, every family in the city pays for them. “Only garbage in the special bags ca n be dumped in the housing estates' destbins, or families will be fined,” Bao said.“The fees collected will be used to fund the collection program,” said Chen Jianhua, mayor of the city, in response to some residents’ worries that the fees would be pocket ed by corrupt officials.“The new system is expected to cover the entire city and will help reduce the amount of trash dumped by local residents,” Bao said.Another official said, “Authorities should raise residents’ environmental awareness and urge reside nts to sort garbage before it reaches the bin.Residents who have sorted the garbage at home and reduce rubbish should be rewarded while asking those who dump more garbage should pay higher rubbish fees."But the fee increase has been questioned by local residents who oppose the new system. "The hike of the rubbish fees will increase the burden of the city's low-income families," said Chen Hongyun, a Guangzhou housewife, “A public hearing should be organized before the new system is formally introduced,” s he added.“But the increasing amount of garbage is already beyond the treatment ability of existing landfills and incinerators（焚化炉）,causing a great threat to the health of local residents,” said Li Tinggui, director of the committee. “It’s urgent for the city to reduce garbage, and a charge for the amount of trash dumped by residents is a good way to realize this gola.” Li said.12.

绵阳南山中学实验学校2024届高三上学期(补习班)11月月考英语试卷(含答案)
绵阳南山中学实验学校2024届高三上学期（补习班）11月月考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解Here are some books written by Joyce Grant.Can You Believe ItPublisher: Kids Can PressPublished in 2022, it explores in depth how real journalism is made, what false news is, and most importantly, how to spot the difference. Young kids get most of their information online. This must-read guide helps them decide which information they can trust and which they can’t.Tagged OutPublisher: Lorimer Kids and TeensPublished in 2016 and full of kid-friendly information, it’s an excellent read, especially the description of the action. Reading it makes readers feel like they’re right there watching the game and feeling what the kids feel in success and in failure. Grant reflects the attitudes and behaviors of today’s young teens and makes each of her characters real.Gabby:Drama QueenPublisher: Fitzhenry & amp; Whiteside PublishingIt was published three years later than Tagged Out. Little kid Gabby and her friend Roy are setting up a stage for their play about “Queen Gabriella”. Gabby puts some letters together to create words that will turn into various props (道具). When they finally have everything they need, they’re ready to perform for their elderly neighb or.Stiding HomePublisher: Lorimer Kids and TeensIt came out in 2018. When young Miguel’s family becomes desperate, a solution comes from Miguel’s baseball teammate, who suggests a big baseball money-raising campaign. As the team learns about the hard realities some kids face and helps them wholeheartedly, Miguel learns to trust his teammates.1、What’s the book Can You Believe It mainly about?A. Journalism.B. Family love.C. Games.D. Stage performance.2、Which book was published earliest?A. Can You Believe It.B. Tagged Out.C. Gabby: Drama Queen.D. Sliding Home.3、Who are the listed books intended for?A. Young parents.B. Young kids.C. Media journalists.D. Children’s writers.A woman held her phone tightly to her heart. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons (资助人). So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people, who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have a hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Youn g’s head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a photo-taking playland”. Yet a lot of people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $28 ticket to be more reasonable than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says. “We would risk becoming unimportant.”4、What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1?A. To get her phone.B. To escape the crowd.C. To take a photo.D. To push ahead.5、How did the de Young respond to the dilemma?A. By compromising with the government.B. By making the exhibition free of charge.C. By setting periods without photo-taking.D. By extending the free exhibition hours.6、What may the use of social media in museums bring about?A. Museum-owner’s lower profits.B. Exhibits’ damage to appearance.C. Professionals’ lack of tolerance.D. Visitors’ distraction of real focus.7、Which of the following may Linda Butler support?A. Catering to visitors.B. Reducing admission prices.C. Reserving judgement in public.D. Banning social media and photography.Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel (柴油) cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2024.drivers’ concerns about running out of electricity on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed greatly over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade picky consumers.As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes.Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions (排放). If the US could replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 percent. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.8、What does the underlined word “hurdle” in Paragraph 2 probably means?A. Aim.B. Problem.C. Result.D. Step.9、Why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars in the past?A. They were dependable.B. They were not widely promoted.C. They were expensive.D. They couldn’t travel at a high speed.10、What is the function of Paragraph 4?A. To introduce the history of electric travel.B. To explain why the world needs more electric cars.C. To show why more people have interest in electric cars.D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.11、Which is the best title for this passage?A. Driving into a Cleaner FutureB. History of Electric CarsC. Problems with Petrol and Diesel CarsD. Best Means of TransportationIn recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image.I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit —I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.12、What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.B. The author agrees to overspend money on material things.C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends.13、Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that ______.A. people dislike those who love luxuriesB. traveling changes a person’s identity greatlyC. luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happinessD. experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries14、What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself?A. Be selective about designer labels.B. Create your own personal unique style.C. Choose simple and fashionable styles.D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.15、The main purpose of the article is to ______.A. prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant lifeB. tell how to express yourself through appearancesC. report on a series of studies about luxuries and happinessD. persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries二、七选五16、Here a few famous people may give you some helpful tips on how to choose the right books to read.● Read books from past eras.①_________Otherwise, you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” just as Albert Einstein put it. “Somebody who reads only newspapers and books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who dislikes eyeglasses,” he said.●②_________Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep you from forming a lasting impression. Seneca the Younger suggested that “you must linger (逗留) among a limited number of master thinkers, and digest their works rather than in larger quantities.”● Shop at secondhand bookstores.Virginia Woolf believed the works in secondhand bookstores have an attraction. Browsing through these books gives you the chance to run into something that traditionallibraries can’t bring to you. ③_________● Check out authors’ reading lists.American philosopher Mortimer J. Adler talked about how to choose books. He attached importance to those that other authors consider worth reading. ④_________ “Trust their tastes.” said Mortimer.● Make the final decision by yourself.⑤_________It’s you yourself who should choose what, how an d when to read. Theodore Roosevelt recommended choosing books on subjects that interest you and letting your mood guide you to your next great read.A. Interest is the best teacher.B. Great authors are great readers.C. Leave some room for older works.D. Learn more about those great authors.E. Don’t jump too quickly from book to book.F. There’s no “best books” list that everyone should follow.G. Usually they are much more selective in organizing their collections.三、完形填空（20空）In 1945, Sergeant (中士) John Gonsalves was sent back to Germany soon after thefamily as soon as possible.Gonsalves and their five sons.them well and letting them know he was looking forward to returning home.

Though her skills had earned her the job, she was the youngest person in the team. “Everybody else was pretty much twice my age,” she says. “I exhibited” too much ambition’ in the eyes of my superiors. I heard about comments being made behind my back. There were even a couple of times when my superiors referred to my age right in front of me, saying I was too young: “What does a 23-year-old know about these things?”Leia tried to change her appearance at work. “I changed the way I dressed. I tried to dress older, more ‘ladylike’. I changed my mannerisms and tried to act older,” she says. “It worked, to an extent.” The comments about her age and inexperience lessened, but Leia says she still felt like her growth potential was limited. She left the company soon after.What Leia experienced was ageism, traditionally seen as something only older people face. For instance, older workers might be judged based on assumptions that they won’t fit into a progressive office or learn technology quickly. A US study showed that nearly two-thirds of workers aged 45 and older had seen or experienced age discrimination. But younger workers face age discrimination, too. In fact, new research shows it may actually be the youngest team members who are bearing the brunt of workplace ageism right now, potentially impacting their careers.Leia says removing ageism entirely will ultimately require a fundamental change to corporate culture, which has long tied seniority to skill. “We prize years of experience a littletoo much, and I don’t think years of experience and skill are necessarily correlated,” she says. “Steve Jobs was 21 when he founded Apple. We don’t know how much younger people actually have to contribute. Hopefully, more employers are realizing it.”4．What did Leia’s co-workers mainly talk about behind her back?A．Her appearance.B．Her younger age.C．Her way of behaving.D．Her family background.5．Why did Leia quit her job?A．She disliked dressing more ladylike.B．She received many negative comments.C．She was under much pressure from her work.D．She needed more room for her career growth.6．What can we know about older workers according to the text?A．They may be quick in learning technology.B．They have trouble adapting to a progressive office.C．They experience more ageism than younger workers.D．A small part of them were faced with age discrimination.7．Why does Leia mention Steve Jobs in the last paragraph?A．To share information about Apple Company.B．To tell us Steve Jobs’ major contributions.C．To show that age and experience are not connected.D．To prove that experience matters to young people.As artificial intelligence(AI) systems become more advanced, we can expect them to be used more often in the world of human medicine and healthcare. AI is designed to imitate(模仿）the human brain in decision making and learning, so with the computing power to learn tasks in days or even hours, it is possible to create medical AIs that rapidly outperform doctors in certain tasks.Data plays a hugely important role in helping AI systems learn about human medicine. AI systems are trained on large data sets gathered from real-life cases. Providing detailed patient information in quantities is a crucial factor for their success.One of the most important areas for influencing global health is in the field of epidemiology(流行病学）。

Where do you probably find the passage?A．In a textbook B．In an outdoor program brochure.C．In a sportswear advertisement D．In a gym notice.When my daughter was ten, she and my husband Joe, were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their canine just, because I have no time to take care of a dog. “But we’ll do it.” “Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” “Yes, we promise.”They didn’t. From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day), neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this one day one.Quickly, we developed something of a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合). She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand, which, strangely. I almost always did. She kept me company, snoring on my home-office couch as I worked, cradling against my feet as I read, and splaying across my stomach as I watched televisionEven so, I’d balk (畏缩，犹豫) silently as she and I walked. Not fair.One day my husband’s doctor uttered an unthinkable word: leukemic (白血病). I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with. As the months went by, I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The morning walk before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts before the day’s medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day’s upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.After Joe died, Misty slept on his pillow.I’m grateful to a point. After years of balking. I’ve come to enjoy my walls with Misty. As I watch her chase a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminded me, too, that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future, there’s almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.41. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined part in Paragraph 1?A．I was afraid of dog B．I didn’t want to share anything with them C．I didn’t care their desire.D．I didn’t agree to raise a dog.42. What can we learn from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A．The author didn’t want to walk the dog because she didn’t like her.B．The dog was naughty and annoying.C．Although loving the dog, she was reluctant to walk her.D．She would rather stay at home with Misty than walk her.43. The story came to its turning point when ____________.A．Joe died B．the writer began to walk the dogC．Joe fell ill D．the dog tried to please the writer44. Why did the writer continue to walk Misty while Joe was in hospital?A．Because the walk provided her with spiritual comfort.B．Because her friends didn’t offer any help.C．Because she could u nfold the day’s medical drama.D．Because she didn’t want Misty to be others’ companion45. What message does the author want to convey in the passage?A．One should learn to enjoy hard times.B．A disaster can change everything in life.C．Confronted with difficulty, we still have moments to enjoy.D．People will change their attitude toward you when you are in difficulty.One of the curious things about social networks is the way that some messages, pictures, or ideas can spread like wildfire while others that seem just as catchy or interesting barely register at allBefore you go deep into the puzzle, consider this: If you measure the height of your male friends, for example, the average is about 170 cm. You are 172 and your friends are all about the same height as you are. Indeed, the mathematical concept of “average” is a good way to capture the nature of this data set.But imagine that one of your friends was much taller than you. This person would dramatically skew the average, which would make your friends taller than you, on average. In this case, the “average” is a poor way to capture this data set.Exactly this situation occurs on social networks. On average, your coauthors will be cited more often than you, and the people you follow will post more frequently than you and so on.Now Lerman from University of Southern Caledonia has discovered a related paradox, which they call the majority illusion (多数错觉). They illustrate this illusion with an example. They take 14 nodes linked up to form a small network. They then color three of these nodes and count how many of the remaining nodes link to them in a single step.In situation (a), the uncolored nodes see more than half of their neighbors as colored. This is the majority illusion—the local impression that a specific feature is common when the global truth is entirely different. While in situation (b) the majority illusion doesn’t occur.So how popular is it in the real world? It’s found out that the majority illusion occurs in almost all network s cenarios. “The effect is largest in the political blogs network, where 60% of nodes will have majority active neigbbours, even when only 20% of the nodes are truly active,” says Lerman.It immediately explains many interesting phenomena. For a start, it shows how some content can spread globally while other similar content does not—the key is to start with a small number of well-connected early adopters fooling the rest of the network into thinking it is common. The affected nodes then find it natural to follow the trend. A real spread finally comes into being.But it is not yet a marketer’s charter. For that, marketers must first identify the popular nodes that can create the majority illusion for the merger audience. These influencers must then be persuaded to adopt the desired behavior or product, which is essential to the prospect of the marketing plan.46. The phrase “skew the average” in the 3rd paragraph most probably refers to the action of__________.A．hiding the real average to be unrecognizable to othersB．producing an average against the general feature of dataC．working out the common feature suggested by the averageD．ignoring the average because of the frequency by which it is reviewed47. What does the difference between situation(a) and situation(b) lie in?A．The number of the nodes in the networkB．The manner of the connection between the nodes.C．The decision of which nodes to be colored.D．The influence of the network on the nodes.48. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Majority illusion rarely bas impacts except in political blogs field.B．The majority illusion on social networks relies on it that people you follow post more than youC．The essence of successful opinion spread is to initiate the trend with well-connectedsharers.D．The spread scale of ideas on networks mainly depends on the quality of content.49. To guarantee the success of marketing promotion, it’s vital to __________.A．thoroughly understand the concept of majority illusionB．accurately figure out who is the powerful person to affect othersC．definitely decide who are the target audience for the promotionD．successfully convince the influencers to practice certain action50. What is most probably the title of the passage?A．The social network vision that tricks your mind.B．Who is stealing your network identity?C．Minority network opinion spread, curse or blessing?D．Have you been misled during the last political voting?Let’s take a moment to consider the words of one of America’s most remarkable philosophers, Henry David Thoreau.Thoreau spent the years 1845-1847 living on the outskirts of society in a small cabin in the woods by the side of Waldon Pond. He called this period of his life an experiment of intentional living and wrote this famous paragraph：I went to the woods because I wished to live intentionally, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach，and not，when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow（精华）of life.There is great wisdom in Thoreau’s purpose here, and I think it’s very useful to ask ourselves this question：What would our lives be like if we sucked all the marrow out of life?If Thoreau’s quote sounds familiar, it may be from watching the film Dead Poets Society, a movie with deep wisdom. The film is about young men at a boarding school as they prepare to do good in the world because they have the privilege to bring about change. Their English teacher, played by Robin Williams, tries to convince them that they should live life well now instead of believing that they will find happiness after they reach certain goals. Part of his argument is conveyed by quoting this famous passage from Thoreau.Sucking the marrow out of life sounds simple enough, but as a matter of fact, it may be the most difficult thing that we can ever do. But it actually is as simple as it. Sounds—though “simple” is not quite the same thing as “easy”. I can think of one barrier that often keeps us from living our best lives. What keeps us from getting the most out of life is our desire for approval and fame. In the process of always looking for fame and glory, there is the danger that we will stop living. In order to seek approval from others, we fail to find a sense of approval within our own spirit.When we become aware that we are missing so much out of life, we can decide that we want to make changes. Our best move is to start small. If we are having a meal, whether a great festival feast or a modest supper, it is always within our power to take it slowly and really feel, taste, and enjoy the food before us. Few of us can easily do like Henry David Thoreau and get away from it all in the wilderness. But we can make small changes every single day.51. What wisdom is conveyed in Thoreau’s words?A．Stay away from city life. B．Live one’s life to the fullest.C．Only nature can bring happiness. D．One can never be too old to learn.52. Why did the author mention the film Dead Poets Society?A．To recommend a good film. B．To praise the teacher’s wisdom.C．To further illustrate Thoreau’s wisdom.D．To state the film was adapted fromThoreau’s works.53. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s seeking for approval?A．Critical. B．Supportive. C．Sympathetic. D．Unconcerned. 54. How can people change life for the better according to the author?A．Live in the wildness. B．Set higher goals.C．Make small changes daily. D．Read more classics.55. What could be the best title of the passage?A．Ask for More：Thoreau Exposes the Meaning of LifeB．Sunk in Thought：Thoreau Outshines Ancient PhilosophersC．Aim High：Thoreau’s Practical Advice Ensures Successful LifeD．To Live Intentionally：Thoreau’s Philosophy Remains Valuable阅读表达During the final term of my theater and performance degree at the University of Leeds, I found myself standing outside Berkeley Court care home with three classmates and an underdeveloped idea. We planned to hold some interactive workshops with the residents to try to inspire memory and social engagement.I remember being nervous, aware that we were working with people who were vulnerable, and that I had no idea what I was doing. Some residents were almost nonverbal, some were clearly not with ability. Some were happy to see us, and some were not.I had decided to play music at the end of the session. We went with the song My Way because the residents, all roughly 80 years old, were probably listening to the hit song in their late 20s.Once I pressed play, it was as if a spell had been cast. Nearly everyone in the room stood up and sang what seemed like every word. I was so profoundly moved. Many of them were communicating much better. It looked and felt like magic.Off I went to drama school, but I thought about that experience almost daily. So when we were given the opportunity to write a script for a theater festival, I created a love story about music and dementia (痴呆), spanning 50 years of a couple’s life.And now, 10 years later, the show I made is running again in London thanks to the Music for Dementia campaign.When my grandma was diagnosed with dementia toward the end of her life, I didn’t struggle to communicate with her in the way that other people in their might have done. I felt more able to tune into what she needed and better equipped to see her underneath the disease.I now know that music-based intervention reduce the need for medication in more than 60% of people living with dementia. I don’t know what My Way would be, but I certainly think we should all strive to find our song and do our best to stay connected to the people we share it with.56.

She was physically, and mentally abused during her childhood. Despite her initial struggles as a young girl, she turned herself into one of the most successful talk show hosts of our time.Jim CarreyJim Carrey has been the star of some of the most successful movies of all time. But Carrey grew up extremely poor in Canada. When he was a teenager, his family took security jobs in a factory to help pay the bills. And during his first stand-up comedy performance, he was booed off (喝倒彩) the stage. Not shortly after, he made it big on In Living Color and then went on to star in Dumb & Dumber, The Mask, and Ace Ventura in the same year!James DysonIf you thought Thomas Edison’s failures were bad, let me in troduce you to James Dyson, the famous inventor of the Dyson vacuums (真空吸尘器) you see all over the television. Dyson developed over 5,000 failed prototypes (原型) before finding the bagless vacuum brand. Not only that, he put his entire savings account into his prototypes over fifteen years! Luckily, the bagless vacuum worked.Stephen KingBefore Stephen King became known as a great living writer—having written over 60 novels, many of which have been adapted for film and television—King was rejected over and over again.

But that all changed in 2014 when one day her son came home from school and handed her a flier (传单), saying that his soccer coach had asked him to deliver it to her. “I’m reading it... like ‘Wait, Jamaica has a women’s football team? Where did this come from?’” she said.Six years earlier, in 2008, underfunding had led to the Jamaican Football Federation (JFF) disbanding the women’s national team program. The flier Marley’s son brought home was a fundraising request from the JFF to help restart the program. Marley got to work almost immediately, calling the JFF the following morning to ask what it needed.situation was. From travel and nutrition to accommodation and training camps, every area of the national team’s setup was in need of funding.A skilled musician and multiple Grammy award-winning artist, Marley put her considerable musical talents to work. “My family came together with me. We recorded a song Strike Hard to raise funds,” she s aid.Her efforts—and the work of countless others who were equally as committed to the cause—paid off as the women’s national team became the first Caribbean country to qualify for the Women’s World Cup.Marley’s work has helped not only improve standards and conditions for players, but also shift the country’s attitude towards the women’s national team. “These girls have been toldfor a long time that women in sports, especially football in Jamaica, really weren’t that important,” Marley said. “Nobody wants to give us brand deals because it’s the female team. It’s so good now to see how all of that has changed dramatically, not just for our women, but around the world... and that makes me excited.”4．How did Marley probably feel while reading the flier?A．Astonished.

The site was once an overseas trading center of an ancient Southeast Asian kingdom known as Funan, according to a new study.“Preparing curry involves not only a diverse range of seasoning but also the use of grinding (研磨) tools, considerable time, and human effort,” said study author Dr. Hsiao chun Hung. “Remarkably, even individuals residing outside of India nearly 2,000 years ago expressed a strong desire to enjoy the flavors of curry, as evidenced by their careful preparations.”Hung and a team of researchers analyzed microscopic remains known as starch grains—tiny structures found within plant cells that can be preserved over long periods—that they found on the grinding tools.“Nowadays, preparing curry in Vietnam has become much simpler for most families due to the widespread availability of bagged curry in supermarkets. However, it is interesting to note that the curry recipe used today has not varied significantly from the ancient times,” said study co-author Dr. Khanh Trung Kien Nguyen. Nguyen added that the team planned to recreate the 2,000-year-old curry based on the microscopic remains found at the site.People were likely enjoying curry in India about 4,000 years ago. Some of the components recovered at Oc Eo are similar to those found in Indian curries, while other components are more distinctively Southeast Asian. The new study concluded that curry recipes arrived in Southeast Asia with South Asian traders as contact between the regions increased during the early centuries of the first millennium.8．What is the sandstone slab used to do according to the text?A．Store grains. B．Carve tools. C．Make curry. D．Keep time.9．What did Dr. Hsiao-chun Hung think of preparing curry in the past?A．It was a complex process. B．It differed from one another.C．It demanded little effort. D．It was environment-friendly.10．What can we infer about the ancient curry recipes?A．They restricted regional trade. B．They were mainly consumed in Vietnam. C．They linked various cultures. D．They were first favored by Southeast Asians. 11．What is the text mainly about?A．The unknown stories of a historical site. B．The findings of unearthed stone tools. C．An introduction to a cooking course. D．An unforgettable family experience.Ocean temperature extremes are now normal, a new study reports. It has analyzed ocean surface temperatures for the past 150 years. It reveals that by 2019, 57 percent of the ocean’s surface was warming to temperatures rarely seen 100 years ago.Ecologists wanted to learn how often modern extreme heat events occur. They also wanted to see how long they last. Kisei Tanaka was one of those ecologists. He now works for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Honolulu, Hawaii. Tanaka teamed up with Kyle Van Houtan, who works at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center. The two analyzed monthly sea surface temperatures collected from 1870 through 2019. Then they mapped where and when extreme heat events had shown up, decade by decade.By looking at monthly extremes instead of annual averages, the two found that over time, more and more patches (区域) of water were reaching extreme temperatures. Then, in 2014, the entire ocean hit a point of no return, Van Houtan says.Heat waves harm ocean ecosystems. They can lead seabirds to starve... And animals—from fish and whales to turtles—may have to swim long distances in search of comfortable temperatures.In May 2020, NOAA announced that it was updating what climates it now considered “normal”. These values are what the agency uses to put daily weather events in a histori cal context. The average values from 1991 to 2020 are now higher than those from 1981 to 2010, NOAA found.Van Houtan says his new study shows extreme ocean warming is now the norm. Much discussion on climate change, he notes, has been about future events, and whether or not they might happen. But what the emerging data make clear, he says, is that extreme heat became common in our ocean in 2014. It’s a documented historical fact—not a future possibility. 12．Why did the ecologists conduct the research?A．To prove what they had forecast. B．To recognize the value of the data.C．To update readers on newfound species. D．To find out the trend of ocean record heat. 13．Where can you find the harmful effect of global ocean warming?A．In paragraph 3. B．In paragraph 4. C．In paragraph 5. D．In paragraph 6. 14．What does Van Houtan want to stress at last?A．People’s lifestyle will be greatly affected. B．It is a must to discuss the climate change. C．Scientists must focus on historical events. D．Ocean heat extremes are the new normal. 15．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Nature. B．Travel. C．Business. D．History.二、七选五16．Few sights fill you with nostalgia (怀旧) like the fireflies dancing at night.①_______Their populations are declining around the world as the threats against them are increasing.

With about 2,000 different species of fireflies, there’s a wide variety of environments in which they thrive (繁衍) —including wetlands, forests, and even city parks—which is why some species are more threatened than others. “You can recreate those conditions in your own backyard simply by leaving some leaf litter around the edges of your property,” Lewis says. “That’s a good microhabitat for fireflies.”③_______Flashing lights are an important part in fireflies life. As the sun sets, male fireflies move around while flashing their lights to signal their interest. If a nearby female is interested, she flashes back from her position to the ground, and the males fly down to find her. “All of that has to happen for the next generation to survive,” says Lewis. “However, light pollution makes those scenes much harder to see. It’s like cutting n phone line. It really stops the romance.④_______. You can draw your curtains shut at night and turn off the lights completely when possible.”Stop using pesticides (杀虫剂)Using pesticides in your yard also poses an existential threat to fireflies, which are insects after all.⑤_______. Scientists are researching alternatives to chemical pesticides that could target specific species, like mosquitoes, while leaving other insects unharmed. A．Reduce light pollutionB．Make a fire in the open airC．Luckily, there are some solutionsD．But these beloved insects are in troubleE．The living conditions of fireflies are getting betterF．The biggest threat facing fireflies today is the loss of their habitatsG．Most of the pesticides will kill less-beloved insects as well as fireflies三、完形填空（15空）bus my friend had to take something from my bag, which took a little bit of time.
