AThe Four Famous Embroideries (刺绣) of China refer to the Xiang embroidery in Hunan Province, Shu embroidery in Sichuan Province, Yue embroidery in Guangdong Province and Su embroidery in Jiangsu Province. Xiang embroideryThe earliest piece of Xiang embroidery was unearthed at the No. 1 Tomb of Mawangdui, Changsha City of the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.---A.D. 220). The weaving technique was almost the same as the one used in modern times, which shows that embroidery had already existed in the Han Dynasty. In its later development, it absorbs the characteristics of traditional Chinese paintings and reaches a high artistic level. Xiang embroidery crafts include valuable works of art, as well as products for daily use.Shu embroideryShu embroidery has formed its own unique characteristics: smooth, bright, neat, etc. The works choose flowers, animals, mountains, rivers and human figures as their themes. The craftsmanship of Shu embroidery involves a combination of fine art and practical uses, such as the facings of quilts, pillowcases, coats and screen covers.Yue embroideryInfluenced by national folk art, Yue embroidered pictures are mainly of dragons and phoenixes (凤凰), and flowers and birds, with neat designs and strong, contrasting colors. Gold-and-silk thread embroidery is widely used, even for crafts of daily use.Su embroideryThe weaving techniques of Su embroidery are characterized by the flat surface, dense lines, even pictures and harmonious colors. Su embroidery products fall into 3 major categories: costumes, decorations for halls and crafts for daily use. Double-sided embroidery is an excellent representative of Su embroidery.1. The unearthed embroidery at Mawangdui shows Xiang embroidery’s _______.A. time-honoured historyB. excellent designsC. artistic valueD. advanced techniques2. If you receive a double-sided embroidery as a gift, it must be ________.A. Xiang embroideryB. Shu embroideryC. Yue embroideryD. Su embroidery3. What do we know about the four famous embroideries?A. All are rootedin folk art.B. All are valuable artworks.C. All share the same themes.D. All have practical use.BHe ran between two defenders, pasta third, and a couple of seconds later his team had two more points. At the end of his final game, on April 11, he had scored 30 points.This was the end of a career for Dwyane Wade, nicknamed “Flash”. It was the 37-year-old’s last game for the Miami Heat and his last appearance on an NBA basketball court. Over his storied career, Wade played in 1,054 regular-season games and 177 post-season games, scored more than 23,000 points, appeared in three NBA championships and earned one Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.Coming from Chicago, Wade’s attitude and style of play moved many people, including former US President Barack Obama. “Whenever you got knocked down, you always showed us how to get back up,” Obama said in a tribute video. “You showed some Chicago spirit... and you did us proud.”Wade broke down the door to the NBA in 2003 with his outstanding ball-handling skills and jumping ability. He had a strong principle, taking practice as seriously as he took games. He trained in the gym by himself during the off-season and exercised hard to stay in shape.Wade has also spoken out on social issues. In 2012, 17-year-old Heat fan Trayvon Martin, anAfrican-American, was shot in a racist attack on his way home from watching the NBA All-Star Game. Wade, together with LeBron James, led the Miami Heat squad, pulling up their hoodies (连帽衫) in support of justice for Martin, who had his hoodie up when he was killed. Wade hoped this action would bring attention to racist violence.In 2003, he founded the Wade’s World Foundation, which provides support to various education, health, and family service programs. “Obviously, I’m one person. I can’t change the world, but I can help affect change in communities,” Wade told ESPN. “That’s what I want to continue to do.”This is not the end of Wade’s story. He wants to continue f ighting for economic and social equality in the US.4. How many games did Wade play in his professional career?A. 1,054.B.177.C.23,000.D. 1,231.5. Wade was thought highly of by Obama because of _____________.A. his strong willpowerB. his flexible playing styleC. his extraordinary skillsD. his honourable ambition6. Why did Wade and his teammates pull up their hoodies?A. To follow Martin’s heroic behaviour.B. To speak out for Martin.C. To try on the latest fashion.D. To show racial equality.7. This passage is mainly about Wade’s _________.A. outstanding professional careerB. legendary life experiencesC. achievements in social equalityD. influence in sports and societyCAs a child, I never imagined that one day a man would walk on the moon. Yet this year we marked the 50th anniversary of the famous Apollo 11 mission. As those historic pictures were beamed (传递) back to Earth, millions of us sat transfixed (使…呆住) to our television screens, as we watched Neil Armstrong taking a small step for man and a giant leap for mankind---and, indeed, for womankind. It’s a reminder for us a ll that giant leaps often start with small steps.This year we marked another important anniversary: D-Day. On 6th June 1944, some 156,000 British, Canadian and American forces landed in northern France. It was the largest ever seabourne invasion and was delayed due to bad weather. I well remember the look of concern on my father’s face. He knew the secret D-Day plans but could of course share that burden with no one.For the 75th anniversary of that decisive battle, in a true spirit of reconciliation (和解), those who had formally been sworn enemies came together in friendly commemorations (纪念) either side of the Channel, putting past differences behind them. Such reconciliation seldom happens overnight. It takes patience and time to rebuild trust, and progress often comes through small steps.Since the end of the Second World War, many charities, groups and organisations have worked to promote peace and unity around the world, bringing together those who have been on opposing sides. By being willing to put past differences behind us and move forward together, we honour the freedom and democracy (民主) once won for us at so great a cost.The path, of course, is not always smooth, and may at times this year have felt quite bumpy, but small steps can make a world of difference. And, as we all look forward to the start of a new decade, it’s worth remembering that it is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.And so, I wish you all a very happy Christmas.8. Who does the “I” in the passage probably refer to?A. Neil Armstrong.B. Winston Churchill.C. Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ.D. Donald Trump.9. What does the underlined word “bumpy” mean in the fifth paragraph?A. Smooth.B. Rough.C. Flat.D. Straight.10. The passage might be a speech on _______.A. Christmas DayB. New Year’s EveC. the anniversary of D-Day landingD. Victory in Europe Day11. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To honour the achievements of moon-landing.B. To remember the victory of D-Day landing.C. To promote reconciliation across the Channel.D. To urge efforts for a world of peace and unity.D14 days. That’s the time Chinese scientists took to identify t he full genetic sequence of the novel coronavirus (新冠病毒) since its outbreak. It was shared with the WHO immediately, and has now become an important foundation for global researchers in the fight against the COVID-19. But first, let us turn the clock back 17 years, when it took months to identify the SARS virus. From months to 14 days, what changed? It turns out AI played an important part.The scientists first obtained bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid (支气管扩张灌洗液) samples from patients, isolated (分离) the DNA and RNA, then sequenced the genetic material by comparing them. AI’s advantage is its ability to recognize patterns among a flood of data.Let me put it in a simple way. Sequencing the coronavirus genome (基因组) is similar to looking for a needle in a haystack (干草堆)---looking for genotypes (基因型) with specific characteristics from a huge gene pool. That’s where search algorithm (算法), a branch of modern AI, comes in. Think of it as an efficient search engine, which can find the needle in the haystack. This search algorithm can shorten months-long genetic sequencing to weeks or even just a few days. Combined with macro-genomic sequencing and a virus library, this AI technology can also be used in tracking virus mutation (突变).AI doesn’t just support scientists. It can also help patients by improving the efficiency of diagnosis (诊断). China launched a Genomics Service, which can run multiple virus gene comparisons and produce a detailed report within 60 seconds. This algorithm has been put into use in China and shared to the world for free.12. AI’s advantage is that it can________.A. slow down the spread of coronavirusB. separate DNA from RNAC. identify specific genotypes rapidlyD. obtain samples from patients quickly13. The search algorithm helps shorten the time of genetic sequencing by __________.A. finding a needle in a haystackB. serving as a search engineC. combining with a virus libraryD. tracing virus mutation14. What do we know about the Genomics Service in the last paragraph?A. It has been widely used in the world.B. Itis mainly based on blood test.C. Itis for fast diagnosis of COVID-19.D. It is used to track COVID-19 patients.15. What’s the best title of the passage?A. 14 Days---China Made it!B. AI Assists in COVID-19 FightC. Search Algorithm, Best ChoiceD. China’s Genomics Service第二节（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。

辽宁省师范大学附属中学2019-2020学年高一英语下学期期末考试试题考试时间：100分钟满分：120分第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题，每题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。
AThere are thirty-four bridges on the Thames River in London，the following are among the most famous ones.Tower BridgeTower Bridge has stood over the River Thames in London since 1894 and is one of the finest, most recognizable bridges in the world. It is the bridge in London you may see in movies and on advertising writing for London. Tower Bridge is the only Thames Bridge that can be raised. It used to be raised about 50 times a day, but nowadays it is only raised 4 to 5 times a week.London BridgeThe construction of the first stone London Bridge started in 1176 and finished years later. Houses and shops were once built on the bridge, which made the road so narrow that it was often jammed with people, horses and carts.A 'keep left' rule was made in 1733 to keep the traffic moving. This became the rule of the road in Britain. In 1757 the old bridge was pulled down and a new one was built in 1831. Interestingly, that one was pulled down again in 1967 but rebuilt in Lake Havasu City，USA，as a tourist attraction. The present London Bridge was opened in 1973.Millennium BridgeThe Millennium Bridge is a bridge for walkers. It was built to connect the Tate Modern Art Gallery to the City and St Paul's Cathedral (圣保罗大教堂) in 2000. Thousands of people rushed to see the new bridge. Almost immediately after opening, the bridge had to be shut because of the dangerous waving caused by too many visitors. It has now been reopened. The bridge is about 320 meters, costs 16 million pounds to build and only takes walkers.Westminster BridgeWestminster Bridge is a road and foot traffic bridge over the River Thames between Westminster and Lambeth. The present bridge，opened in 1862，is the second on the site and took the place of an earlier bridge opened in 1750.The British romantic poet, William Wordsworth, wrote a famous poem "Composed Upon Westminster Bridge" in the autumn of 1802.Want to know more about the bridges on the Thames River?

Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A．The 1831 London Bridge is now in the USA.B．Tower Bridge is much less frequently lifted today than before.C．Cars and buses are not allowed to cross Millennium Bridge.D．Westminster Bridge is for walkers only.2. The passage is most probably taken from a __________.A．school report B．website articleC．teenage magazine D．science fiction3. What can we learn from the passage?A. William Wordsworth wrote many poems of the bridges on the Thames River.B. Millennium Bridge wasn't built strong enough so that it had to be pulled down and rebuilt.C. That all the traffic is kept left in Britain was from a rule of an old LondonBridge.D. Tower Bridge is the symbol of London because it is the first bridge on the Thames River.BWhen David Carter started to study art at the University of Texas (UT) at Austin in 1971, he had big dreams of becoming an artist or a writer. But his study came to a stop at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant event. He developed schizophrenia (精神分裂症) later and spent many years without a home.Carter liked to spend time around UT, because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer. After running into Carter many times, UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for an assignment for the Daily Texan, the student newspaper of UT."I interviewed him on Austin's homeless problems. After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends. I learned he wanted to get back to UT, so I decided to help him," said Chandler." He had got 87 hours, very close to a degree. Now, with changing degree requirements, he only has 64 hours to go."With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned an adviser by UT's College of Fine Arts. "It's the greatest gift I've ever received," Carter said. "He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn't have done it without him."After seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees without telling Chandler his name.Doug Dempster, dean of the College of Fine Arts, said in a statement. "David Carter's decision to complete his degree is a testament (证明) to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier. We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily. We're going to help him through his remaining course work."4. Why did Carter drop out of university?A. He hurt an artist.B. He couldn't afford his study.C. He got a strange disease.D. He had a hand injury.5. What was Chandler's purpose in interviewing Carter?A. To do a project on homelessness.B. To know why he hung around UT.C. To make friends with a homeless person.D. To finish his homework on helping others.6. Which of the following words can best describe Chandler?A. Brave.B. Honest.C. Warm-hearted.D. Strong-minded.7. What can we learn from Dempster's words in the statement?A. He encourages Carter to study hard.B. He supports students who never give up.C. He calls on other students to help Carter.D. He suggests other students learn from Carter.CSlowly but surely, we're moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the Internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay. Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the U. S. top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds."5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age," said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. "The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one singletask, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It's pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There's lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed."Augmented reality(AR) glasses and virtual headset haven't yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable (值得注意的) because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or perhaps even replace — smartphones.Ericsson stated at February's Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.But don't get too excited. There's still a lot of work to be done in the meantime includingvarious trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn't concentrated only in big cities.8. What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 1?A. The lighting-fast speed of 5G.B. The expectation of 5G world.C. The difference between 4G and 5G.D. The internet-connected devices in our life.9. What does the underlined word "emblem" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Exhibition.B. Success.C. Symbol.D. Extension.10. We can infer from the text that _____.A. 5G world won't come without AR glassesB. 5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicleC. Apple company is developing AR glasses worldwideD. Tech companies will face the fact that smartphones may be replaced11. What will the author probably tell us next?A. How to fully expand 5G coverage.B. Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.C. Why 5G isn't concentrated in big cities.D. The importance of infrastructure construction.DSome people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family's last vacation. It was my six-year-old son's winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay.I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing the worst tricks.I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth. I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.12. Why did Delta give the author's family credits?A. They had early bookings.B. They took a later flight.C. Their flight had been delayed.D. Their flight had been cancelled.13. What can we learn about the author?A. She rarely misses a good deal.B. She seldom makes a compromise.C. She is very strict with her children.D. She is interested in cheap products.14. What does the author do?A. She's a teacher.B. She's a housewife.C. She's a media person.D. She's a businesswoman.15. What does the author want to tell us?A. How to expose bad tricks.B. How to reserve airline seats.C. How to make a business deal.D.

Getting into science is often difficult for some kids, It’s something Ahmed Muhammad learned quickly while babysitting his niece and nephew.Muhammad is an 18-year-old senior from California. who attends Oakland Tech High school. One day he asked his niece and nephew if they wanted to do science, and he was upset by their reaction.“Whenever I babysit them, we do things like playing chess, playing video games, or watching TV or whatever. When I tried to do science with them, they were like, No, I hate science. I’m bad at it.” It was that moment that fueled Muhammad to create his nonprofit called “Kits Cubed” with a mission to introduce kids to science through fun, affordable and accessible means.“I went into my room and I pulled out some science books. Then I went online and did some research and was able to design some science experiments for them to do at home. The materials were composed of fairly cheap stuff we have around the house, and they loved it” Muhammad said. After witnessing their joy, he realized other children could benefit from it as well. “Having noticed the long-standing absence of science experiments in our school, I really feel like well need some science kits in the hands of kids,” Muhammad said.That’s when he took the $200 he had saved to create a website and began creating science kits to sell, and even tually donated the earnings to kids in need. “I had enough money to make the website and enough to put together like 10 or 15 kits. My initial goal was the joy that my niece and nephew felt. I wanted it to get to as many kids as possible,” Muhammad said.Muhammad, who has been accepted to Stanford University, is just thrilled he was able to help change his niece and his nephew’s opinion of science while inspiring others as well.4. What is the main pursuit of Kits Cubed?A．To solve the absence of science at school.B．To promote acceptance of scientific spirit.C．To provide free access to household stuff.D．To set in motion kids’ passion for science.5. What made Muhammad decide to share the science kits?A．Online research he carried out about materials.B．Enjoyable reactions he observed from the kids.C．Science books he published about experiments.D．Science fairs he participated in at his own school.6. What can be known about his website?A．It targeted at kids aged from 10 to 15.B．It received donations for kids in need.C．It was primarily funded by local school.D．It initially profited from sales of science kits.7. Which of the following best describes Muhammad?A．Composed. B．Childlike. C．Charitable. D．Cooperative.Biomedical breakthroughs sometimes happen in the most unlikely places. Take the deep sea for an illustration. Under extreme conditions, at times of no oxygen, microbes (微生物) not only survive there, but they thrive. This incredible adaptation offers insight into how life evolved billions of years ago and how modern humans may be able to fight infections and diseases — tests used to diagnose (诊断) some viruses were developed with the help of enzyme (酶) separated from microbes found in ocean.“We’ve found marine microbes that produce antimicrobials — basically chemical weapons that help them fight off other organisms and resist viruses,” says Virginia Bdgcomb, a microbiologist investigating deep-sea bacteria. These microbes feed on tough substances and produce antimicrobial chemicals.The deep sea has already given us chemicals to treat certain cancer or nerve damage. Breakthroughs have also come from the ocean depths in the form of diagnostic tools.The pathway to developing tests started back in 1969 when some heat-loving microbes were found in the depth of 5000 meters beneath the sea. By mid-1980s, the humble microbeshad enabled a major advance in the emerging field of genetics, Scientists found that their enzymes remained stable enough to make millions of copies of a single DNA sequence (序列) in just a few hours, essentially upgrading geneticists’ tools.“A lot of people think of the deep sea as a desert,” Virginia says. “To our naked eye, it looks like there’s nothing there but there’s huge potential. What I can do as a science re searcher is record the remarkable diversity of microbes and make their gene sequence available, which may help lead to treatment or diagnostic tool in the future.”“We need to have people constantly exploring the fascinating habitats in order to continue uncovering a new page of medically-relevant enzymes,” Virginia says. “This is tough, but I do hope people realize that the more we can learn about microbes, the better off we are.”8. What does paragraph 1 aim to tell us ?A．The need to deal with infections and diseases.B．Incredible conditions for microbes to survive.C．Biomedical inspirations from undersea microbes.D．Significant breakthroughs of human development.9. It can be inferred from the text that marine microbes __________.A．develop adaptability even in tough conditionsB．merely enhance our understanding of diseasesC．lead to progress in tools to test stable enzymesD．present us with treatment for common cancers10. What do Virginia Edgcomb’s words in the last two paragraphs suggest?A．More awareness of microbes will benefit humans.B．The deep sea microbes may help us with desert issues.C．Researchers’ future task is to record medical treatment.D．We should explore more habitats to free us from microbes.11. What is a suitable title for the text?A．Chemical weapons against virusesB．Finding answers in the deep oceanC．A look back at research in microbesD．Future ways to upgrade human DNAOpenAI’s automated AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT has taken the internet by storm, but not without creating a few issues on the way. With writers, marketers, and seemingly everyone else in between using ChatGPT to generate content, companies worldwide are staring down a tsunami of AI-generated content, With issues of safety and stolen contents constantly swirling around ChatGPT and its output, OpenAI has now released GPT-Classifier, a tool designed to detect whether the text you’re reading was generated by ChatGPT or one of its other GPT tools.GPT-Classifier attempts to figure out if a given piece of text was human-written or the work of an Al-generator. While ChatGPT and other GPT models are trained extensively on all manners of text input, the GPT-Classifier tool is fine-tuned on a dataset of pairs of human-written text and AI-written text on the same topic. In other words, the GPT-Classifier attempts to compare similarities between known human text and known AI text to find inconsistency that reveal the source writer.While the idea of easily spotting AI-generated text will be music to the ears of editors and educators, OpenAI has warned that its classifier is not fully reliable.A test of the GPT-Classifier spotted a human-generated example and marked it very unlikely to be AI-generated, and also correctly indicated that a ChatGPT-generated piece on USB issues was possibly AI generated. Currently, GPT-Classifier correctly identifies 26%of AI-written text whilelabeling 9%of human text as AI-written. OpenAI also notes that the tool’s accuracy typically improves as the length of the input text increases. For now, although GPT-Classifier is up and running and available for testing, it’s best to take its labeling with a pinch of saltEven with the GPT-Classifier’s limitations, the demand for reliable ChatGPT detection is likely to see many people turn to this tool. OpenAI’s commitment to building and releasing a free GPT detection tool is important because as more students, Writers, programmers, and others use AI-text generation tools, understanding and detecting this input will become vital.12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．GPT-Classifier’s components.B．GPT-Classifier’s vast datasets.C．GPT-Classifier’s high productivity.D．GPT-Classifier’s working principle13. What does the underlined part mean in paragraph 4?A．Accept with certain doubt. B．Reform with sufficient testing.C．Judge with reasonable grounds. D．Classify with multiple attempts.14.

D．Approving.Tidy Up Your SpaceDo you often feel upset when you can’t locate your belongings in a messy room? Keeping the things organized in your room can make your space more enjoyable to be in. 16 Here are some helpful steps to get started.Consider the benefitsThink of tidying up as treating your belongings with respect. You want to enjoy the items you love.17 Consider what you’ll gain by cleaning up. For example, rediscovering an old treasure you’ve forgotten about would be exciting.Start smallYou don’t have to organize your room in one day. That could make you feel stressful. 18 This could be your nightstand where books have started to pile (堆) up. Once you’ve identified what to organize, start sorting them into three separate piles: one for items you want to keep; another for items you want to donate; and a third one for things that would be recycled or thrown away.Identify new organizing areasAfter you’ve cleared out several spaces in your room, look through the “keep” items that still need to be organized. Use baskets, boxes or other containers to store similar items together. 19 For example, hair accessories (配饰) could be in a basket near a mirror.Sort through the restAsk an adult to help you go through your piles for donating or for recycling. He or she can help you decide how to deal with them. For example, you may have a family friend with a child younger than you who might like to have the clothes and toys you’ve outgrown. 20A teacher, named Mrs Cindy, assigned her students a piece of homework on happiness.Her students would be “happiness _________” and were curious about what would happen.

辽宁省大连市2023-2024学年高一下学期7月期末考试英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解A podcast is a sound file similar to a radio broadcast, which can be downloaded and listened to on your phone or Pad. If you want to get entertained or learn something new, here are some most exciting podcast series.Sixth SensePam Sica’s friends said she should put her dog to sleep. After all, the 15-year-old golden retriever was aging and ― to make matters worse ― was now acting strangely. A long story about a family’s love for their dog and how he paid them back in the most shocking way.Think Fast, Talk SmartWe all have the ability to express ourselves more clearly, especially at work. Stanford Graduate School of Business lecturer Matt Abrahams discusses real-world challenges and offers tips such as writing better emails and preparing for meetings and presentations.A Song Of Ice And FireFor those who like long listens, George R. R.Martins series claims the (Iron) Throne (王冠). The first story, the 33-hour-long Game of Thrones, won a Guinness World Record for the “most character voices in an audio-book” with 224 characters alone.Unreal: A Critical History of Reality TVSince it exploded in the early 2000s with shows like Big Brothe r and Survivor, reality TV has both fascinated and amazed viewers. The BBC’s Sirin Kale and Pandora Sykes explore themes such as the Kardashians’ creation of celebrity (网红), and why Selling Sunset and Real Housewive s are so successful.1．Which podcast helps improve communicative skills?A.Sixth Sense.B.Unreal: A Critical History of Reality TV.C.Think Fast, Talk Smart.D.A Song Of Ice And Fire.2．How many podcasts are suitable for listeners who are fond of long stories?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.3．What is the podcast Unreal: A Critical History of Reality TV about?A.Discovering the truth behind the scenes.B.Teaching how to be trained as a celebrity.C.Providing survival skills in the wild.D.Criticizing the shows given by BBC.The founder of Earth Day was Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator (参议员). During the late 1960s, Americans experienced the unexpected side effects of high productivity of industry. Factories were giving out smoke while leaded petrol were used for vehicles, making air pollution increasingly severe.What moved Senator Nelson to action was the 1969 massive oil spill (溢出) in California, which had killed about 3,500 sea birds, besides sea animals like dolphins and seals, causing great public anger. Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that time, Nelson found it a proper time to channel the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection. And the sure-fire way was through public pressure. Thus Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmental awareness took center stage.On 22nd April 1970, millions of Americans took to the streets to demonstrate for a sustainable environment and thousands of students marched against the worsening environment. Different groups were now working together for a shared goal ―environmental conservation and the effort became effective. The government took tougher measures and affected businesses were forced to follow standards.As environmental issues were not just localized ones but a global concern, the year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more around the world. Earth Day 1990 helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, bringing together many nations for a joint effort towards protecting the environment.For his role as founder of Earth Day, Senator Nelson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1995), the highest honour in the USA, by then US President Clinton. We salute (致敬) the man, as the fight for cleaner environment continues.4．What motivated Senator Nelson to start Earth Day?A.High productivity of industry.B.Increasingly severe air pollution.C.The 1969 oil spill in the USA.D.The students’ involvement in war.5．What played an essential role in the birth of Earth Day?A. Students’ movement.B. Strict regulations.C. Government’s measures.D. Public pressure.6．In which year did Earth Day start to draw the world’s attention?A. 1970.B. 1990.C. 1992.D. 1995.7．What’s the main idea of the passage?A.The establishment of Earth Day.B.The effort of going green globally.C.Fighting for cleaner environment.D.Honoring the founder of Earth Day.Almost everyone agrees that art is important, but they disagree on whether governments, using taxpayers’ public money, should be funding it. Also, if governments do spend money on art, what artworks should they buy and for what purpose?Most governments purchase well-known artworks for public galleries, such as the Metropolitan in New York, the National Gallery in London, the Louvre in Paris and the Uffizi in Florence, which are all free to the public. Most people do not object to public money being spent on keeping great artworks available to the public eye. However, there are some types the public are often not so happy about supporting.In the 1980s when most people seemed to have lost interest in art, the Turner Prize was started in order to regain public’s attention again. This is a contemporary art award supported by taxpayers. In 1999, the Turner Prize came under great public criticism when Tracey Emin was shortlisted for the prize for her work called “My Bed”. “My Bed” was her actual bed which she had lain in for days following a relationship breakup. To some, this was a breakthrough and some visitors even jumped into the bed and rolled around. To others, it was simply a dive into the depths of human depravity (堕落).But is the kind of “work” done by Emin “art”? And should the public pay for it, especially when it is so controversial (有争议的)?Western art is certainly at a crossroads. Does it keep exploring the dark side or does it seek an ideal beauty? Perhaps the answer depends on the public at large and the values they hold. Many people were pleased when Richard Wright won the Turner Prize in 2009 with his fresco(壁画). Its artistic beauty, poetic nature and use of historic tradition might shows that society is looking for something more positive and “rooted” in its history again. If public money is spent on art, it is essential that the public play a key role in debating both art, and what art they are willing to pay for.8．Why are some galleries mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. They are well known worldwide.B. They appeal to the public.C. They offer free admission.D. They are publicly funded.9．What do we know about “My bed”?A. It’s a controversial painting.B. It caused opposing reactions.C. It seeks ideal beauty and truth.D. It goes against contemporary art. 10．Which word can best describe the public’s attitude to Wright’s fresco?A. Appreciative.B. Opposed.C. Doubtful.D. Unhappy.11．Who should have the final say on public investment in art according to the passage? A. Artists. B. The government.C.Taxpayers.D. Turner Prize winners.Victor Borge once wrote, “Laughter is the closest distance between two people.” Yet laughter isn’t always positive for relationships. Think of your friend laughing at your embarrassing mistake. This kind of unshared laughter can have the opposite effect.Now, a new study explores when laughter works as a social glue. While all genuine laughter may help us feel good, shared laughter may communicate to others that we have a similar worldview, which strengthens our relationships.Researchers at the University of North Carolina found a way to produce shared laughter to measure experimentally how it might impact a relationship with a stranger. Participants watched a funny, not-so-funny, or not-funny-at-all video while video-chatting with another same-sex participant. Unknown to them, the video chat displayed a pre-recorded clip (片段) of someone laughing the same amount for each of the two funny videos, but only smiling occasionally during the unfunny video. This produced more shared laughter in the first situation, less shared laughter in the second, and no shared laughter in the third. Afterwards, the participants then filled out questionnaires about their sense of similarity to their video partner, and how much they liked or wanted to get to know their video partner.Results showed that, across the different videos, the amount of shared laughter had consistent (一致的) effects on the participants’ sense of similarity to the video partner ―and that this, in turn, increased how much participants liked their partner and wanted tothat they see the world in the same way, and it momentarily improve their sense of connection,” says Sara Algoe, co-author of the study.How can we put these findings into practice? Algoe suggests that relationship partnersmay want to find opportunities to laugh together in order to boost closeness, especially before having difficult conversations. Likewise, shared laughter could be introduced into staff meetings to make people feel more on the same page and thus become more productive.12．What is the finding of the experiment?ughter creates distances.ughter is a reliable social glue.C.Unshared laughter has negative effect.D.Shared laughter brings closeness.13．What are the participants asked to do in the experiment?A.Record the reaction to the videos.B.Video chat with a same-sex stranger.C.Fill out questionnaires on the videos.ugh the same amount each time.14．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “affiliate with” in Paragraph 4? A. Connect with. B. Turn to. C. Agree with. D. Refer to.15．In which situation is shared laughter probably used according to Algoe?A. During a court meeting.B. After seeing a doctor.C. Before solving conflicts.D. When taking an exam.二、七选五16．Sometimes, it’s good to be bored“I am dying of boredom,” complains the young wife Yelena in Chekhov’s 1897 play Uncle Vanya. Of course, if Yelena were around today, we know what she would do: pull out her smartphone and find something fun. Today it is easy to get rid of boredom. ①________That is the finding of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinkings. The result? ②________ In the second study, subjects gave more answers to a word test than a non-bored control group after being forced to watch a dull screensaver.“An restless mind hungers for stimulation, so boredom becomes a seeking state,” says Sandi Mann, the psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. “③________.” Parents will tell you that kids with “nothing to do” will eventually invent some fun gamesto play ― with a cardboard box, a light switch, whatever.The problem, the researchers worry, is that these days we don’t struggle to overcome these slow moments. “④________” Mann says. “This might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking.” So here is an idea: Instead of always avoiding boredom, embrace and face it. Sometimes, anyway. Mann has found she gets some of her best thinking done when she is driving her car and therefore can’t be distracted by her phone.⑤________ The good type inspires you to see what can come of it. The bad type, in contrast, tires you and makes you feel like you can’t be bothered to do anything. An important part of our modern task, then, is learning to evaluate these different types of boredom ― to distinguish the useful kind from the harmful one.A.And there is, of course, bad boredom.B.Bored subjects came up with more creative ideas.C.But what if boredom is a meaningful experience?D.These moments are a lot more valuable than expected.E.Actually, tips on getting away from boredom are countless.F.We try to kill every moment of boredom with mobile devices.G.When not satisfied with your state, you’re seeking and engaged.三、完形填空（15空）I hated that I was born with a cleft palate(腭裂). I clearly knew how ugly I looked toduring group testing. The “whisper test”, however, required a different kind of deceptionLeonard might say, maybe things like “The sky is blue.” or “Do you have breakfast?”.little girl.”17．A. bleeding B. injured C. misshapen D. smooth18．A. speech B. mood C. thought D. behaviour19．A. burned B. cut C. bitten D. rounded20．A. sufficient B. reliable C. worthwhile D. acceptable21．A. value B. desire C. ignore D. deserve22．A. encountered B. joined C. attracted D. amused23．A. mostly B. fortunately C. barely D. incredibly24．A. ugly B. outstanding C. kind D. different25．A. quitted B. cheated C. rejected D. failed26．A. follow B. permit C. request D. persuade27．A. pole B. cloth C. finger D. device28．A. insisted B. questioned C. argued D. wondered29．A. plugging B. taking C. catching D. breaking30．A. bent B. folded C. stuck D. backed31．A. desperately B. softly C. loudly D. coldly四、短文填空32．The Space-Time Painter, written by Chinese writer Hai Ya, has won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette at the 81st World Science Fiction Convention, ①________(hold) in Chengdu on October 18th to 23rd, 2023.
