For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank -with the proper form of the given -word; for the other blanks, use one 'word that best fits each blank.A New Hero is Here to Save the DayIt's thought that when a hero like Batman is blessed with great power, he or she must endure loneliness and suffering as a result. The Flash(闪电侠)，however, makes a fun, lightning-quick and optimistic superhero. After the wild success of TV series Arrow, a TV network launched The Flash, (21) (show) the image of this Superhero, who was only a supporting character in Arrow.Like Spiderman, who gained the ability to make webs and climb walls after he (22) (bite) by a spider, Barry Allen in The Flash was shocked into superhero-status by accident. A strike from a lightning put Allen into a nine-month unconscious state, and when he emerged, he found himself (23) (equip) with super speed.Naturally, Allen slips on a colorful suit and becomes the Flash, a hero (24) extreme speed to fight super-powered bad guys. But the Flash also has other purposes, namely finding out the truth behind his mother's death and his father's unjust imprisonment.In line with superhero series standards, The Flash features action and eye-popping special effects. There's nothing terribly innovative here, but (25) we do get is a unique superhero with a more unusual personality. (26) Allen has gone through unpleasant childhood experience, in this show he grows into a superhero (27) powers include optimism. He's got a group of scientists that not only save his life, but also provide him with emotional support and the tools necessary (28)(fight) crime.A big surprise for me was that The Flash cast Prison Break star Wentworth Miller as a bad character, who uses a gun that(29) turn anything into ice. US shows began their entrance into the Chinese market with Friends, but Prison Break pushed interest in US TV series to a new height largely thanks to Miller's wonderful acting. Now Miller's back to act in The Flash. (30) is a nice surprise that this new show serves as a platform for Prison Break fans to revisit their old favorite, although this time around he's an antagonist (反派角色).Section BDirections: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one more word than you need.Criticism of the Fast FashionIn the 2006 film version of The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, scolds her unattractive assistantfor imagining that high fashion doesn't affect her. Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant's sweater was 31over the years from fashion shows to departments stores and to the bargain bin in which the poorgirl probably found her clothes.This top-down concept of the fashion business couldn't be more out of date or in conflict with the mad world described inOverdressed. Elizabeth Cline's three-year accusation of "fast fashion^,. In the last decade or so, 32in technology have allowed mass-market labels such as Zara, H&M, and Uniqlo to react to trends more quickly and predict demandmore 33 . Quicker turnarounds mean less wasted stock, more frequent release, and more profit. These labelsencourage style-conscious consumers to see clothes as disposablemeant to last only a wash or two, although they don't advertisethatand to 34 their wardrobe（衣橱）every few weeks. By offering on-trend items at dirt-cheap prices, Clineargues, these brands have controlled fashion cycles, shaking an industry long 35to a seasonal pace.The 36 of this revolution, of course, are not limited to designers. For H&M to offer a $5.95 knit miniskirt in all its2,300-plus stores around the world, it must rely on low-wage overseas labor, order in volumes that 37natural resources, and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals.Towards the end of Overdressed. Cliiie introduced her ideal, a Brooklyn woman named Sarah Kate Beaumont, who since2008 has made all of her own clothes ——and beautifully. But as Cline is the first to note, it took Beaumont decades to perfecther craft; her example can't be imitated.Though several fast-feshion companies have made efforts to 38 their impact on labor and the environment 一including H&M, with its green Conscious Collection line 一Cline believes lasting change can only be made by customers. Sheexhibits the idealism 39 to many advocates of sustainability, be it in food or in energy. Vanity（虚荣心）is a constant; people will only start shopping more 40 when they can't afford not to.TH. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blankwith the word or phrase that best fits the context.The networked computer is an amazing device. It is the first media machine that serves as the mode of production (you can make stuff), means of distribution (you can upload stuff to the network), site of 41 (you can download stuff and interact with it), and place of praise and criticism (you can comment on the stuff you have downloaded or uploaded).42 , the computer is the 21st century's culture machine.But for all the reasons there are to 43 the computer, we must also act with caution. This is because the networked computer has started a secret war between downloading and uploading―between passive consumption and active 44 —whose outcome will shape our collective future in ways we can only begin to imagine.All animals download, but only a few upload anything besides faces and their own bodies. Humans are 45in their capacity to not only make tools but then turn around and use them to create superfluous(过乘。

2019-2020学年浦东中学高三英语模拟试题及参考答案
2019-2020学年浦东中学高三英语模拟试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项A阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
The opening ceremony for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games was held at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo on July 23, 2021 after a year of waiting due to the pandemic. Let's take a look at the highlights which make this opening ceremony unique.No spectatorsThere are no spectators during the opening ceremony in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infections. About 950 people, including officials and journalists, will watch in the main stadium, organizers said. Fewer athletes are expected to attend the ceremony because many are not allowed to stay for the entire Games due to COVID-19 restrictions.Male and female flag-bearersThe International Olympic Committee has actively encouraged all delegations toselect two flag-bearers at the opening ceremony, including one woman, as women's participation in the Tokyo Games reaches 48.8 percent, making it the most gender-balanced Olympics in the history of the event.Oath (宣誓) session updatedOne of the most symbolic parts of the opening ceremony—the Olympic oath—has been significantly adapted in order to “highlight the importance of solidarity, inclusion, non-discrimination and equality”. The number of oath-takers is also extended from three to six—two athletes, two coaches and two judges.Simplified ceremonyIn the 30-second video showing the rehearsal of the opening ceremony released to the public, the performances are integrated with dances, scenery and other display elements used in Japanese traditional festival activities.In order to prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic and manage the cost, the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee said that the performances of the ceremony will be greatly simplified, with more light and shadow technology used instead of real decorations at the scene.1.Why isn't there any spectator during the opening ceremony?A.To limit the number of people present.B.To highlight the spirit of the Olympic Games.C.To control the spread of an infectious disease.D.To make room for the athletes all over the world.2.Why is each delegation encouraged to select one woman as a flag-bearer in Tokyo Olympics?A.Women will be in a leading position in sports.B.Women athletes make up a larger percentage than ever.C.Women will play a more important part in society.D.More and more women will take part in the Olympic Games.3.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A.Oath-takers are made up of six athletes.B.Tokyo uses more real decorations to cut the cost.C.About 950 people watch the entire games in the Tokyo Games.D.The opening ceremony presents the traditional culture of Japan.BHave you ever been on social media and seen your favorite celebrity talking about a product? These promotions might not be totally random, and are actually seen as a vital part of the marketing process. The question is: How do social media influencers ‘influence’ what you buy?Human desire for status and making friends, combined with our need to belong to a group, makes us receptive to being ‘socially influenced’. Companies often use that desire to have a similar lifestyle to a celebrity we admire to sell or launch a product. So, what do these promotions actually do?Firstly, they can be used to build brand awareness. A social media influencer should have a strong understanding of the platform they operate on, and therefore can create appealing content that not only sticks to the brand image, but sparks their followers’ interests in a product they might never have seen before.Secondly, influencers can improve a company or product’s relationship with their customer base. According to InMoment’s 2018 US Retail CX Trends Report on customer loyalty, 77% of buyers have been brand loyal for more than ten years. This is also true of 60% of millennials. A popular celebrity can target key customers and talk or blog about a product, which can create an instant and lasting bond with them.Lastly, influencers can improve customer buying habits with seemingly ‘unbiased opinions’. We are more likely to respond to ‘peer recommendation’ than traditional ads, meaning the fact we see an influencer as a ‘friend’can make us less likely to be doubtful about what we are seeing.So, the next time you see a celebrity talking about a product, you might want to consider that this could be a carefully worked-out marketing strategy designed to target your core needs. If you find yourself examining a product you’ve seen on social media, you may well have been influenced.4. Why do companies invite celebrities to launch products?A. Because celebrities can improve the companies’ public images.B. Because consumers like to share similarity with celebrities.C. Because celebrities want to make more money.D. Because consumers can make friends with celebrities.5. According to the passage, which strategy is often used by influencers?A. Setting up operation platforms.B. Sending gifts to customers.C. Improving relationship with the company.D. Taking advantage of their popularity.6. To customers, the recommendations of influencers seem to be ________.A. offensiveB. subjectiveC. objectiveD. misleading7. The passage is mainly about ________.A. how social media make adsB. how social media influence our lifestyleC. how social influencers affect our buyingD. how celebrities earn fameCJerry Lawson had a love of science and invention from a very young age. And, with the support of his family and teachers, he took that love and helped change the world for billions of people, when he invented the modem video game cartridge.Both of Jerry's parents supported his love of science and invention. His father, a longshoreman, was a science fan and encouraged Jerry to always experiment with things. Jerry's first-grade teacher helped encourage him on his path to be someone influential similar to George Washington Carver, a great AfricanAmerican inventor. His first love in school was chemistry but he ended up liking electronics（电子学）even more.He earned an amateur ham radio license at age 13 and built his own radio station in his room, with an antenna hanging out of his window! Jerry earned money from fixing television sets, visiting people's homes for inhouse repair, and also working at local electronics stores. Jerry also made walkie-talkies and sold them to other kids. He spent many Saturdays at an electronics store that had all of the parts he needed for his inventions. He would use his small allowance and money he earned to buy parts to help fuel his inventions.When he was a young adult, Jerry joined Fairchild Semiconductor as an engineer. During this time, he created his own video arcade game（街机游戏），Demolition Derby, in his garage.A few years later, Jerry was asked to work on a secret project. Not even his boss was allowed to know what he was doing! What it turned out to be was that he was designing the Fairchild Channel F video gameconsole（游戏控制器）and leading the team that invented the video game cartridge. This was the first of its kind and enabled kids around the world to affordably play video games at home.Just like with automobiles，many advances have occurred since the inventionof video games. Video games are now one of the biggest forms of entertainment in the world. But all of this would not have been possible without the vision, passion, and skill of Jerry Lawson and his learn.8. How did Jerry earn money when he was a teenager?A. By running his radio station.B. By selling television sets.C. By repairing things for others.D. By making electronic parts.9. Before Jerry's secret project, playing video games at home was_____.A. expensiveB. harmfulC. commonD. tiring10. What does the author mainly tell us in the last paragraph?A. Jerry Lawson and his team can be more skillful.B. Jerry Lawson is important to the game industry.C.Many advances have taken place in the automobile industry.D. Video games are now the most popular form of entertainment.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Video Gaming-An Important IndustryB. Game Console-Key to Home Video GamesC. Jerry Lawson-Father of Modern GamingD. Support and Encouragement-Necessary for SuccessDDo you ever listen to the songs that your parents like? Chances are that you don’t. You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are muchcooler. But scientists found that people’s music taste changes as time goes by. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents’, whether you like it or not.We used to think that culture and personality (个性) are the only reasons for different music choices. Butresearchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter into different age groups, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste. There are some musical periods that people go through in their life.The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like strong music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent.But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change they want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become fonder of contemporary music, such as pop and R&.B, which is usually uplifting and danceable.When middle age comes, most people have settled down. During this period, people prefer music, such as jazz and classical, as well as music like country, folk and blues.As for old people, they prefer old songs in their childhoods. They generally listen to relaxing music, such as country music and jazz music. But you must be questioning. “Aren’t there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music?” Of course there are. But their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. At that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youth.12. What do young people usually think of the songs their parents enjoy?A. They are actually less cool.B. They are worth listening to.C. They are especially serious.D. They are hard to understand.13. How many musical periods are there that people go through in their life?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.14. People who want to make friends mostly prefer ________.A. jazz musicB. country musicC. rock musicD. pop music15. What is the best title for the text?A. People Have Different Opinions on MusicB. People Listen to Music for the Same ReasonC. People’s Taste in Music Changes with TimeD. People’s Lifestyle Can Be Changed by Music第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Rabbits are cute and loveable. However, Australians discovered (21) harm these cute creatures can do the hard way.Rabbits were introduced to Australia in 1788 as food animals. By 1827, they were running around large estates, and in 1859, disaster struck. A man released 12 wild rabbits onto his property fbr hunting and he (22) have thought that was harmless fun. But Australia has no predators (捕食者)(23) (adapt) to killing rabbits and none of the diseases that kept their populations (24) control in Europe. The loose rabbits bred like, well, rabbits, and began to take over the countryside. Within a few decades, there were millions. By 1950, there were 600 million rabbits in Australia.Six hundred million hungry rabbits could do real harm. They caused more damage than any other species introduced to the continent. They ate native plant species (25) they disappeared. They competed for food and shelter with native animals. They caused the extinction or endangerment of numerous plant and animal species. And they were a nightmare fbr cattle and sheep farmers, (26) animals couldn't get enough grass to eat and starved.The rabbits did some good, of course. They provided food for poor families. They supported fur industries. But their impact on the environment and major livestock economy was too negative (27) (ignore). People tried trapping them. They even built a huge wall against them. But (28) (effective) weapon was a virus.(29) (test) multiple times, the deadly myxoma virus was released on Australia's rabbits in 1950. The virus had been developed very carefully to affect only rabbits. Nearly 100 percent of the rabbits who caught the disease (30) (die). Populations fell. Tt was a huge success. Cattle and sheep farming recovered gradually, and threatened plants were better protected. Eventually, rabbits became resistant to the virus.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Bottle Found at Sea Used for Scientific PurposeCombing the beach for shells, sea glass, or colorful rocks is a leisure activity enjoyed by many. Some even use metaldetectors to find buried treasure or other objects. Only the lucky few have 31 a message in a bottle that wasdropped off by the tide. The tradition of putting a letter to an unknown recipient into a bottle and throwing it into the ocean hasan interesting past. An early 32 use for the practice was revealed when the oldest recorded message in a bottlewas found by Tonya on a beach near Wedge Island, Australia.Tonya was on a fomily outing when she noticed the antique glass bottle in the sand and thought it would make a nice 33. While she was cleaning the sandy gin bottle, a rolled up paper tied with a 34 fell out. The damp page wasa message written in German and dated June 12, 1886. According to official documents from the German sailing vessels, Paula,a crew member tossed the bottle overboard a(n) 35 950 km off the coast of WesternAustralia. Further research authenticated (验证)the letter, which had been sent afloat 132 years ago and is the oldest message in a bottle ever 36 .Historians confirm that thousands of similar bottles were cast overboard by German ships between 1864 and 1933. And37 inside were official documents written by the captain of the ship, 38 routes, coordinates, and otherinformation. These early messages in a bottle were an attempt by the German Naval Observatory to map ocean 39 aroundthe world.On the back of the notes were 40 to write the time and place the bottles were found and return them to the GermanNaval Observatory in Hamburg or the nearest German authorities. Using this information for reference was an early system ofstudying patterns in nature and the vast ocean in particular.ITT. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A star athlete stopped by my office and she was eaten up by self-criticism after committing a few errors during a weekend match. at peak 41 and T practise hard.

When they win, they feel powerful and smart. When they fall short of what they imagine they should44 , however, they are crushed by self-blame.We talk often about young adults strnggling with failure because their parents have protected them from 45 . But there is something else at play among the most advantaged in particular: a 46 promise that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it.Psychologists have sourced this phenomenon to a misapplication of "mind・set‘' research, which has found that praising children for 47 will increase academic performance. Developed by Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck, mind-set education has spread across classrooms worldwide. But a 2018 analysis found that while praising hard work over ability may benefit economically disadvantaged students, it does not 48 help everyone.One possible explanation comes from Nina Kumar, who argued in a research paper last year that fbr teens in wealthy, pressure-cooker communities, “Tt is not a49 of motivation and perseverance that is the big problem. 50 , it is unhealthy perfectionism and difficulty with backing off when they should, when the fierce drive fbr achievements is over the top.^, This can 51 physical and emotional stress. In a 2007 study, psychologists Gregory Miller determined that adolescent girls who refused to give up the 52 goals showed elevated levels of CRP, a protein that serves as a marker of systemic inflammation（炎症）linked to diabetes, heart disease and other medical conditions.The cruel reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail. This knowledge comes early to underrepresented minorities whose experience of discriminaticm（歧视）and inequality teaches them to 53 what is, fbr now, largely beyond their control to change. Yet for others, the belief that success is always within their grasp is a setup. Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don't go their way, we should all question a culture that has taught them that how they perform for others is more important than what 54 inspires them and that where they go to college matters more than the kind of person they are. We should be wise to remind our kids that life has a way of disappointing us when we least 55 it. It's often the people who learn to say "stuff happens,, who get up the fastest.41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)David Miles, an Australian inventor has been accused of cheating desperate farmers by charging up to $50,000 Australian dollars fbr delivering rain on demand without so much as explaining the technology behind his business.On the official Miles Research website, Miles explains that in the 1990's he realized that it was possible to influence weather patterns by creating a bridge between "the presenf and a 'near-future event' in the physical space-time continuum. He found that by applying small amounts of energy intelligently, even a large, messy weather system approaching from the future could be eased.While somewhat fascinating, Miles' explanation does little to explain how he is able to bring rainfall to the lands of farmers. He makes references to famous but debatable concepts like "the butterfly effect". “We were advised against patenting because it's basically exposing how it works. There are a lot of big companies that invest in hunting out patents," Miles said. "I understand the doubts, the only other way is to fully prove up our science and physics. If we did that, we'll lose it, it will be taken up as a national security interest and if 11 then be weaponized.,,Miles' claims raised suspicions for obvious reasons, including a since-deleted section of his company website, which claimed that his technology used "'electromagnetic scalar waves", which scientists say don't even exist.The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has warned people against doing business with him, but the Australian inventor claims the ACCC is only trying to defame him and his company, as in reality they are success based - if it doesn't rain, they don't get paid."'Consumers signed the agreement that if by the end of June they receive 100mm, they pay $50,000, if they only receive 50mm, they would only pay $25,000. Anything under half we don't want to be paid," Miles said of a handful of Wimmera farmers who agreed to take him up on his offer to deliver rain.Believe it or not, one of the farmers who paid David Miles for his so-called rain-making capabilities told ABC Radio that he was quite happy with the results.56.David Miles claims to be capable of .A.influencing the weather systemB.predicting the future eventsC.reducing the atmospheric temperatureD.easing the gravitational energy57.ACCC issued warning against doing business with Miles because .A.he charged too much fbr the services providedB.there was no solid science to back up his technologyC.his practice was a threat to national security interestD.he didn't officially patent his technology with ACCC58.According to Miles, how much will he be paid if the farmers receive 15mm of rain?A.$50,000.B. $25,000.C. $12,500.D. $0.59.What can be inferred from the passage?es needed safer facilities fbr his business.es brought about good crops as expected.es wasn't discouraged by the critics.es was arrested by the local police.(B)Stannah Call now to speak to a friendlyrepresentative(888) 551-3466For Curved & Straight Stairs | 7-Day Money Back Guarantee | Rentals AvailableAt Stannah, we are committed to providing our customers with the safest, more reliable Stannah stairlifts and the most generous assurance among stairlift provider, for value that can't be beaten.

Some researchers argue these changes were brought about by the invention of cooking. They point out that our bite weakened around the same time as our larger brains evolved, and that it takesless energy to absorb nutrients from cooked food. As a result, once they had mastered the art, early chefs could invest less in their digestive systems and thus invest the resulting energy savings in building larger brains capable of complex thought. There is, however, a problem with the cooking theory. Most archaeologists （考古学家）believe the evidence of controlled fire stretches back no more than 790,000 years.Roger Summons of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a solution. Together with his team, he analyzed1.7 million-year-old sandstones that formed in an ancient river at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. The region is famous fbr the large number of human fossils（化石）that have been discovered there, alongside an impressive assembly of stone tools. The sandstones themselves have previously yielded some of the world's earliest complex hand axes — large tear-drop-shaped stone tools that are associated with Homo erectus（直立人）.Creating an axe by repeatedly knocking thin pieces off a raw stone in order to create two sharp cutting edges requires a significant amount of planning. Their appearance is therefore thought to mark an important moment in intellectual evolution. Trapped inside the Olduvai sandstones, the researchers found distinctive but unusual biological molecules（分子）that are often interpreted as biomarkers fbr heat-tolerant bacteria. Some of these live in water between 85°C and 95°C. The molecules, presence suggests that an ancient river within the Gorge was once fed by one or more hot springs.Dr. Summons and his colleagues say the hot springs would have provided a convenient "pre・fire" means of cooking food. In New Zealand, the Maori have traditionally cooked food in hot springs, either by lowering it into the boiling water or by digging a hole in the hot earth. Similar methods exist in Japan and Iceland, so it is plausible, if difficult to prove, that early humans might have used hot springs to cook meat and roots. Richard Wrangham, who devised the cooking theory, is fascinated by the idea. Nonetheless, fire would have offered a distinct advantage to humans, once they had mastered the art of controlling it since, unlike a hot spring, it is a transportable resource.63.All of the following statements can support the cooking theory EXCEPT .A.cooking enabled early humans to invest less in digestive systemB.cooking enabled early humans to devote more energy to building big brainsC.our brain became larger around the same time our digestive system weakenedD.the controlled fire wasn't mastered until about 790,000 years ago64.The presence of biological molecules was important because .A.they suggested a possible means of cooking without fireB.they cast light on how early Homo erectus livedC.they provided a convenient way of studying stone toolsD.they made studies of pre-historic cultures possible65.The underlined word "plausible" probably means .A. noticeableB. applicableC. reasonableD. affordable66.What may be the conclusion of the study by Dr. Summons and his colleague?A.Early humans were capable of making complex stone tools.B.Hot springs help explain how human brains got so big.C.Homo erectus were adaptable to tough and complex territories.D.Human brains are highly advanced as shown by their size.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Slower Walkers Have Slower Minds, Scientists RevealOf all human activities, few are so readily credited with enhancing the power of the mind as going for a good walk. However, those who assume that strolling along at a gentle pace is the symbol of superior intellect should think again, scientists have said.67Doctors have long used walking speed to gain a quick and reliable understanding of older people's mental capability, as it is increasingly recognized that pace is associated with not only muscular strength but also the central nervous system. 68The relationship was so obvious, however, that the US scientists now say walking tests could be used to provide an early indication of dementia（痴呆）.Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the study revealed an average difference of 16 IQ points between the slowest and the fastest walkers at the age of 45. This reflected both the participants9 natural walking speed and the pace they achieved when asked to walk as fast as they could. 69 Actually, slower walkers were shown to have "speeded aging" on a 19-measure scale devised by researchers, and their lungs, teeth and immune systems tended to be in worse shape than the people who walked faster.The 904 New Zealand men and women who were tested at 45 were tracked from the age of three, each undergoing multiple tests over the years. The long-term data collection enabled researchers to establish that kids with lower IQ scores, lower linguistic ability and weaker emotional control tended to have slower walking speeds by middle age. 7 0 .The research team said genetic factors may explain the linl< between walking speed, brain capacity and physical health or that better brain health might promote physical activity, leading to better walking speed. Some of the differences in health and intellect may be the result of lifestyle choices individuals have made.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 yvords. Use your own words as far as possible.The Psychology of SpendingDr. Thomas Gilovich, psychology professor at Cornell University, has studied the psychology of spending for over 20 years. According to Dr. Gilovich, “We buy things to make us happy, and we succeed, but only for a while. New things are exciting to us at first, but then we adapt to them.,, In other words, once the freshness of our newest purchase wears off, we begin looking forsomething else to buy to make us happy.Dr. Gilovich found that our satisfaction with possessions fades over time. Yet our happiness over things we*ve experienced increases. For that reason, he has concluded that we are spending our money on the wrong things. A study out of San Francisco State University agrees. The research showed that those people who spent money on experiences instead of possessions were happier. They also thought their money was better invested.To begin with, activities like a trip, adventure, hobby, etc. tend to bring the participants together and unite them over a shared interest. According to Gilovich, “We consume experiences dir ectly with other people." As a result, these experiences typically create a positive link and good feelings toward the other person or people.Besides, your experience shows others who you are and what you are. For example, you might be someone who loves taking cooking classes. More than likely, you'll become known by friends and family as a great cook. They won't know you as someone who owns the latest kitchen equipment.Lastly, planned experiences are frequently something we look forward to. Then when the moment arrives, if we enjoy the time involved in the activity, we're left with fbnd memories. These memories will often last a lifetime. Even our worst trips, on many occasions, are later remembered with laughter.。

Thanks to a recent discovery, the possibility is getting closer. While there are many alternatives that manage to keep the body warm, this amazing invention aims to offer real relief for those who are eager to feel comfortable and fresh in the outdoors on extremely hot days.Its inventors, engineers Ma Yaoguang of Zhejiang University and Tao Guangming of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China, look a completely innovative approach. They designed a special textile dial can absorb body heat and re-emit its energy into space as mid-infrared radiation (MIR). This textile cools both the objects and their surroundings through a technique that is known as radiative cooling, Science reveals. This means that even when it looks like you are wearing a regular shirt, you are actually wearing a device that works like a mirror.Research conducted at Stanford University in 2017 had already managed to cool the wearer by 3☑, but this previous trial was limited. So researchers still need to test the new approach to determine how effectively the new fabric cools while the wearers are standing or walking, and not directly facing the sky, like in their trials. They also need to examine and measure how well it works when T-shirts are not in close contact with the skin.Inventors Yaoguang and Guangming are now looking out for textile manufacturers and clothing brands that are interested in using their fabric. They estimate that the new material will increase clothing manufacturing costs by just 10 percent. “We can make it with mass production which means everybody can get a T-shirt and the cost is basically the same as theirs,” old Yaoguang said.So if you are an athlete or simply someone that has to deal with the extremely high temperatures, be patientbecause your days of feeling hot and bothered may be corning to an end!4. What is the purpose of the new invention?A. To warm up people's body.B. To cool people off in hot weather.C. To detect the wearers' temperature.D. To protect clothes from becoming wet.5. How does the special product work?A. By turning sunlight into energy.B. By sending out absorbed heat.C. By keeping heat out completely.D. By using light color1 s to reflect sunlight.6. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?A. The invention needs further testing.B. The previous studies lack evidence.C. The new fabric has a good cooling effect.D. The new fabric applies to various situations.7. The invention of the T-shirt may hean example of ________.A. barking up the wrong treeB. robbing Peter to pay PaulC. killing two birds with one stoneD. pulling the cart before the horseCLas Vegascity inNevadais built in a desert. The city may be known to the outside world for its partying. But officials have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass. The grass is never laid on, played on or even stepped on. The grass is only there to look nice.Now, the city is asking theNevadastate legislature to ban useless grass. It is trying to become the first place inAmericato ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing developments and in office parks.It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass inLas Vegasand it needs a lot of water to survive. Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus. By tearing out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%.In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front of new homes. It also offered homeowners $ 30 for each square meter of grass they tear out. But fewer people are now using the program. Water usage has increased in southernNevadaby 9% since 2019. And last year,Las Vegaswent a record 240 days without major rainfall. The Colorado River provides much ofNevada's drinking water. The river could lose more water as climate change affects it.Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced. But they fear the reaction to reforms like the ones inLas Vegasif their communities do not accept them. Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city ofPhoenixinArizona. “There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe for someresidents. They'll say that is the point of no return for them,”Campbellsaid. “For some people, it's a pool. For some people, it's grass.”8. Why doesLas Vegascity try to ban useless grass?A.

Grass Is Important but Useless inLas VegasDA North Atlantic right whale calf(幼崽) was discovered dead on the beach of an island off North Carolina. The male newborn was found on North Core Banks, part of the Cape Lookout National Seashore. The reports indicate that the animal died during birth or shortly after, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA). Scientists took DNA to determine the calf’s mother.This is the beginning of the right whale’s reproduction(繁殖) season, which begins mid-November and runs through mid-April. NOAA called this death a disastrous start to the season. Each new right whale calf brings so much hope for this badly endangered animals, and losses like this have a great impact on their recovery, NOAA said.The right whale is one of the rarest marine mammals(哺乳动物) in the world, according to NOAA. They willsoon be extinct unless something is done to save it, researchers warn. This kind of whale has been experiencing an Unusual Death Event over the past three years, according to NOAA. Since 2017, at least 32 dead and 13 seriously wounded whales have been documented by the organization. “This means more than 10 percent of the remaining population,” according to NOAA.NOAA posted a piece of news on Monday, the same day they announced the calf’s death, warning boaters to be watchful as the whales are migrating(迁徙) nearly 1,000 miles along the Atlantic Coast. The organization calls for boaters to be watchful, slow down and to give these endangered whales plenty of room. They also ask all fishermen to remove their unused nets from the ocean to help avoid possibledamage.12. Why did scientists take DNA of the calf?A. To save its mother.B. To confirm its identity.C. To determine the time of its death.D. To uncover the cause of its death.13. How many right whales are left according to the passage?A. About 40.B. About 50.C. About 400.D. About 500.14. What do we know aboutNorth Atlanticright whales?A. Their reproduction season usually last about half a year.B. They are the rarest marine mammals in the world.C. They are experiencing a high death rate of newborns.D. Their habitat runs nearly 1,000 miles along the coast.15. What’s the main purpose of the news posted on Monday?A. To announce the calf’s unusual death.B. To remind boaters to watch the whales.C. To protect the boats against the whales.D.

M: I'm sorry, but I have not had a chance to inform my current boss about my quitting, and I think 1 have to give him two weeks* notice to find a replacement.Q: What does the man mean?Section BDirections: In Section B, you will hear two passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.There are few topics as debatable as our diet. No one wants to be told what to eat. Yet a food switching seems to be gaining popularity. More and more of us are interested in reducing the impact of our diet on the environment. Specifically, we want to eat less meat.While all-out vegetarianism is becoming more popular, it ' s still a minority position. A recent survey suggests that just five per cent of adults in the UK, and three per cent in the US are vegetarian. Most don't want to eliminate animal products completely, but do want to cut back. This raises the question of not just how much meat we should eat, but what types. We often talk about steak, lamb chops, bacon and chicken as if they're on a level playing field. Just 'meat'. But their impacts are vastly different. Per gram of protein, beef has almost ten times the carbon footprint of chicken. It uses 23 times as much farmland. If we were to rank them in order: beef and lamb have the highest cost; pork has significantly less; chicken is even lower; and many types of fish are better still.This means that if you want to reduce the environmental footprint of your diet, substituting beef and lamb with chicken and fish gets you really far. In fact, this has a much larger impact than switching from eating moderate amounts of chicken to a vegetarian or vegan diet. That's the recommendation I give to most people. Eat less meat overall, but also replace the beef steak with chicken or fish.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:11.Why do people want to eat less meat?12.Which of the following foods probably has the greatest impact on the environment?13.According to the passage, what does the speaker suggest we do?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Like so many nature films these days, the film Escape from Extinction begins with the bad news: a lot of global headlines highlighting the bad effect of oil spills and extreme weather on life on Earth. This particular film, directed by Matthew R. Brady, then focuses on species threatened by the sixth mass extinction event.It soon becomes different from other environmental films, because of its unique opinion on the best way forward: zoos. Actress Helen Mirren assures us that zoos have changed. She says, “Once connected with exhibition and entertainment, modem zoological facilities are leaders in the fight against mass extinction.”Even if that connection passes you by, it is impossible to ignore the support for zoos throughout the world. As American Humane pres ident Robin Ganzcrt says, “The only reason certain species are alive today is that zoos have saved them from extinction.,, They are even supported in other areas such as marine life.People repeatedly refer to ''zoological facilities“ in order to make zoos sound like the reasonable, scientific choice.The one thing the film does do well is to make the problem of extinction feel urgent. It also calls for action over sympathy. Mirren adds that repairing the damage we've done to the environment requires more than abstract inspiration.However, fbr me, despite the film's central message that the coming ecological collapse calls for the need for zoos, what is in urgent demand is a restructuring of the economy, environmental protection and restoration, and the will to act now.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:14.Which of the following is the most important to the fight against mass extinction?15.How does the speaker like the film?16.What is the passage mainly about?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Linda, you are what's called a vlogger-you put online videos that you have made for people to watch, in your case about environmental issues. How did you learn to do that?W: At university, my department was running these courses for helping people become vloggers, soI went along to those. There is so much stuff about it online, but I just found it confusing.M: Why did you choose to focus on environmental issues?W: It's just something that I have believed is vital fbr ages and I think too little is being done, so I wanted to help.M: What's your major? Is it related to your major?W: It's not connected to what I am studying at university, so it wasn't like I got advice from any of my classmates.M: How did you feel when your videos first became a hit?W: I was expecting to only have a few people watching regularly fbr years. I couldn't believe how wrong I was about this.M: Do you have any tips for those who arc interested in vlogging? For example, how often should people upload videos if they want to become successful?W: Well, it's not about the more the better, because people will soon get bored and it will also be hard for you to come up with new ideas.M: Say once a month?W: That's not going to work, either. In my opinion, aiming fbr weekly is probably frequent enough. M: 1 see. By the way what's your latest video about?W: Pvejust finished a series encouraging more people to use buses and trains rather than their cars, but I'll be moving on how to reuse things we usually throw away like glass and plastic.M: That is amazing! Good luck! Thanks, Linda!(Now listen again, please.)Questions:17.How did the woman learn to make vlogs?18.According to the woman, why does she focus on environmental issues?19.How did the woman feel when her vlogs first became a hit?20.What can be inferred from the conversation?百度盘获取听力音频。

You don't need to know all things about Vivaldi to enjoy the evening; simply sit back and admire the wonderful atmosphere and the pieces you'll hear.Join our musicians for an evening under the stars, and prepare to be taken into the clouds with Vivaldi' s most treasured masterpieces!1.What can someone with a $45 ticket do?A.Perform on the stage.B.Enjoy good visibility.C.Select a seat in Zone B.D.Take photos with the musicians.2.What should potential audiences keep in mind?A.Arrive at the venue on time.B.Learn about Vivaldi in advance.C.The performance lasts 45 minutes.D.The event will be canceled if it rains.3.What do we know about the 8:30 p.m. performance?A.It welcomes children under the age of 8.B.Its performers differ on different dates.C.Its stage will be decorated with candles.D.It will be shown in the indoor area of the venue.BThe secrets of dreaming are always interesting psychologists. It is generally acknowledged in the field that dreams people have during this time betweenchildhood and full adulthood, that’s around 30, are the strongest and most influential. Yet not enough is known about the repeated patterns of dreaming. Researchers are still trying to answer a basic question: How does dreaming relate to the life experiences and developmental challenges?G. William Domhoff and Adam Schneider, at theUniversityofCalifornia, help to answer this question by examining the lengthy dream series of two individuals, “Izzy” and “Jasmine”. Izzy provided a collection of 4, 329 dream reports from between the ages of 12 and 25, while Jasmine provided 664 dreams recorded between the ages of 14 and 25.Large collections of dreams like these pose challenges to researchers. Until recently, the means of studying dream series was to employ a team of recorders who take the time to code each dream for a predetermined(预先确定的)number of content categories, and then compare their results. Nowadays, digital technologies enable the analysis of language usage in dreams with high speed, accuracy, and objectivity. This marks a revolutionary advance in the science of dreaming. However,itcan only lead so far.To gain more specific and detailed insights, Domhoff and Schneider tailored word strings(词串)for each dreamer, mixing elements of traditional research with digital tools for analyzing large data sets. For Izzy theseword strings included “family and s”, “celebrities” and “fantasy”, while the word strings they created for Jasmine included “familiar places,” electrical equipment” and “music”. The researchers used these word strings to identify connections between their dreams and real lives. Surprisingly, the results of the analysis revealed a great deal of consistency(一致性)and continuity in both sets of dreams. Izzy pays much attention to pop culture, and has affection for famous actors. Jasmine is an accomplished musician and performer.“The frequencies of dream elements show the intensity(强度)of the dreamer’s personal concern with that element in waking thought,” Domhoff and Schneider conclude. For anyone who still claims dreaming is merely random nonsense from the brain and mental world, these findings are hard to explain away.4. What do psychologists agree with about dreams?A. Dreams are influenced by life experiences.B. Dreaming is never nonsense from the brain.C. Dreams in one’s teens and twenties are strongest.D The patterns of dreaming are usually repeated.5. What does “it” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The collection of dreams.B. Research into dreaming.C. The digital method.D. The challenge for psychologists.6. How do the researchers conduct their study?A. By analyzing large data sets.B. By developing individualized word strings.C. By identifying the patterns of dreaming.D. By making comparison with traditional research.7. Which can be the best title for the text?A. New tech, new findingB. Dreams: reflections of waking realityC. Lives, languages, dreamsD. Life experiences: elements of mental worldCIt was New Year time, but I wasn’tlooking forward to it. That winter, my mother and my stepfather moved ourfamily toSouthern California. My brother and I were leaving our ruralAlabamabehind. This would be our first New Year away fromAlabama. My mother took toCalifornialike a swan to a royal lake. My athletic little brother, Paul, was keyed up at a climate that allowed him to go to the beach whenever he wanted.I, however, was a fat child with heavy southern pronunciation. My first day in the new class, I introduced myself in a low voice. The moment I opened my mouth to speak, the whole class burst into laughter, “He talks funny.” It was so frustrating that I went to place a call to Granny Smith after school, who was my biggest support, But I didn’t get through.On Sunday evening, the phone rang. It was Granny. She often took advantage of the discounted long-distance rates on Sundays. She said she’d shipped a New Year package. Sure enough, it arrived. Surprised at the box, large enough to hold a small refrigerator, we eagerly tore it open. The smell of Granny’s house filled the room: a combination of fried meat, sausages, furniture polish and decorations. Her house was tiny and always filled withtackyholiday decorations and homemade food before New Year. But in my childhood eyes, it was precious and fantastic.There were countless tins and containers. We open hem to discover piles of holiday treats. She even included our traditional candy bats. The box was as bottomless as a magical box. There, beneath all these, was familiar holiday.Every New Year that we spent inCalifornia, the postal service would call and say our package was arrived. Over the years, many treasures arrived in the box. For me, it’s always been the best part of the holiday.8. How did the author’s brother feel when they were moving toCalifornia?A. Indifferent.B. Joyful.C. Appreciative.D. Disappointed.9. Why did the author’s classmates laugh at him?A. He spoke in a low voice.B. He made a humorous talk.C. He looked overweight.D. He had a strong accent.10. What does the underlined word “tacky” probably mean?A. Suitable.B. Expensive.C. Cheap.D. Attractive.11. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A. Granny’s Care PackageB. An UnforgettableHolidayC. Our Move toCaliforniaD. A Telephone Call from GrannyDIn many countries of the world, people can confidently tell youthe meaning of their town or city, but mostpeople who live inManchester,OxfordorBirminghamwould not be able to explain what the name of their city means. The name of every British town and city, however, has a long history.Two thousand years ago, most people living inBritainwere Celts. Even the word “Britain" is Celtic (凯尔特语).Then the Romans arrived and built camps which became cities called “castra". This is why there are so many place names inEnglandwhich end in "-chester" or “-caster"Manchester, for example.The Romans never reachedWalesorScotland, and many placenames there are Celtic. For example,Welsh place names that begin with “Llan" come from the Celtic word for "church".After the Romans leftBritain, it was attacked by the Anglo-Saxons who were from the area of Europe that is nowGermanyandHolland. The names of their villages often ended in “-ham" or “-ton". Some got their names from the leader of the village.SoBirminghamfor example, means "Beormund's village”The Anglo-Saxons were farmers and the landscape was very important to them, so we have villages called Upton (village on a hill)——a good place to build a village and Moreton (“village by a lake”)where floods could make life hard. Place names that end in “-ford" (a place where you could cross a river) also describe the location of Anglo-Saxon villages.Finally, in 1066EnglandbecameNorman—theNormansgave us the place name "grange", which means farm.And how aboutLondon? Experts cannot agree. The Romans called the city Londinium, but they were not the first inhabitants (居民). People once believed that theUnited Kingdom’s capital city got its name from the castle of a King called Lud but this is very unlikely. Our best guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning a fast-flowing river. Like a number of British place names, its history is lost in time.12. The origin of British place names is unfamiliar to many local people because ofA. the death of local languagesB. the long lost history of the namesC. their lack of interest in itD. the frequent changes to the names13. According to the article,Stratfordis most likely a town .A. on a hillB. near a castleC. beside a riverD. with a church14. Which of the following shows the correct order of the arrival of inhabitants inBritain?A. The Celts—The Romans—TheNormans—The Anglo SaxonsB. The Celts—The Romans—The Anglo Saxons—TheNormansC. The Romans—The Celts—The Anglo Saxons—TheNormansD. The Romans―The Anglo Saxons—The Celts—TheNormans15. What doesLondonmean in Celtic?A. RiverB. LondiniumC. LudD.

However, SOme PeOPle are ObViOUSIy more Willing to take risks than others.©Biologists appear to have discovered a PhySiCal reason that explains Why SOme PeOPle are risk-takers. DOPamine is a neurotransmitter, aChemiCal that SPreadS SignalS between nerve CelIS. It is Iinked to the brains reward SyStem and is the CheiniCal that makes US feel good, and SCientiStS believe it to be Iinked to risk-taking. OUr nerve CellS have dopamine receptors (接ι∣攵器)which COntrOl the amount Of dopamine that each Cell receives・ BUt not all receptors Inay be active・ When a PerSOn has few active receptors to COntrOl the amount Of dopamine that is received, a Cell Can become flooded resulting in an extreme feeling Of happiness ・(§) ReSearCherS at Vanderbilt UniVerSity and Albert EinStein COlIege Of MediCine asked 34 men and WOmen to COmPlete a questionnaire about Iheir risk taking to assess Whether Ihey Seek new OPPortUnitieS Or are CaUtiOUS in life. The results Of the research VVere COnSiStem Wilh SimiIar StUdieS Carned OUt With rats, and had the Same outcome. It COnCklded Ihat PeOPIe VVhO are risk-takers have fewer dopamine receptors than PeOPle VVhO are not. ThiS SUggeStS that the rush Of PIeaSUre a risk taker receives VVhen a Cell becomes flooded VVith dopamine Can become addictive fbr SOme PeOPIe・ They therefore PUrSUe new and exciting activities in Order to try to repeat IhiS feeling, and as a result their COnCern fbr risk becomes COnSiderably reduced・©Dopamine gives US a biological reason for risk-taking, but SCientiStS believe there may be PSyChOlOgiCal reasons loo. SenSatiOn-Seeking is a PerSOnality CharaCteriStiC that describes the desire to find activities that bring US PleaSUre・ In 1964. PSyChOIOgiSt MarVin ZUCkerman Created the SenSatiOn-Seeking SCale・HiS 40-item questionnaire. Stiil USed today, VVaS given to PeOPIe WhO VVere active in Seeking new activities, and to PeOPle WhO Were more SatiSfied VVith a quiet life. While risk-taking is not a CharaCteriStiC in itself, it is Very InUCh associated With sensation-seeking, as a high SenSatiOn-Seeker does not evaluate risk in Ihe Same Way Ihat a IOW SenSatiOn-Seeker does. A desire to achieve PIeaSUre means that there is a greater WillingneSS to take more risks.⑤There are both biological and PSyChOlOgiCal explanations as to Why SOme PeOPIe may ChOOSe to take more risks than others. However, none Of these explanations are definitive.63.IF a PerSOn has fewer active dopamine receptors, _____________________ ・A.he is IeSS IikeIy to feel happyB.he is more Wining to take risksC.he Will eventually become dopamine-addictiveD・ he is POOrer at COntrOning the amount Of dopamine64.The UnderIined PhraSe ,,,consistent With M is ClOSeSt to " ____________________ H in meaning・A.

【详解】考查状语从句的省略、过去分词作状语和不定式作结果状语。该句是复合句，含as引导的方式状语从句；表示“昨天”用yesterday，表示“我按说明书的建议给新买的手电筒充了电”用I charged the newly bought torch yesterday，as(was)recommended in the instructions，其中主句用一般过去时，从句是省略的状语从句，从句主语I和谓语动词recommend之间是被动关系，是一般过去时的被动语态，句中省略了相同的主语和be动词，是as加过去分词作状语；表示“结果发现它不能正常工作”用only to find that it failed to work properly，此处是动词不定式作未料到的结果状语。故答案为I charged the newly bought torch yesterday, as(was)recommended in the instructions, only to find that it failed to work properly.
