AYou may be familiar with the following famous people, but have you heard of their graduation speeches, in which they either share their unforgotten experiences or give you some great inspiration.●Michael Dell,University of Texas at AustinAnd now you've accomplished something great and important here, and it's timefor you to move on to what's you must not let anything prevent you from taking thosefirst steps. ... You must also commit to the adventure. Just have faith in the skills andthe knowledge you've been blessed with and go.●UniversityHalf my lifetime ago, I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty, but failure .The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure, you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.●Steve Jobs,Stanford UniversitySometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a 't lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet,keep looking, and don't settle.●Bill Gates,Harvard UniversityWe need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technologyto lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities, smaller organizations,and even individuals to see problems, see approaches and deal with the world's inequities（不公平） like hunger, poverty, and so on.Michael Dell said is to urge us to.to our heartour dreamsothers' examplefrom our mistakesdid fear most when she was studying in university....wants to express "Keep looking for what you believe in"Dell.Gates.Jobs.does Bill Gates suggest people docontributions to the environment.responsibility for their own behavior.joint efforts to rid some global problems.as much advanced technology as possible.BMany people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometowns behind. Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.One of the first considerations may be financial. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.Another major factor is the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college.School size also plays a major role in the decision you want to get to know your teachers and avoid feeling like just a number, a small college isthose of you who consider yourself a "people person" and want a wide range of activities, a large collegeis more fitting.Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learnwhat is of interest to you.Finally,one must take into consideration the colleges to which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good , an average school for an above-averagestudent would not work college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there,there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.'s the main idea of the textof choosing a college.in attending a school.and cons of going to college.in choosing a college.can infer from the passage that.Ivy League school is probably a state college smallcollege may bring you a sense of emptiness studentsare likely to choose private colleges average schoolisn't suitable for an average student "people person"in Paragraph 4 probably refers to . person who tendsto be alone person who is good at socialityperson who is afraid of teachersperson who is accustomed to a noisy atmosphere doesthe author think of choosing a college small college is abetter choice for shy students. northern college has amore comfortable climate. location of a college is moreimportant than the size of it. will always find a suitablecollege if you look hard enough.CIn 2000, Suy Senglim met a French journalist who inspired in him an interest in photography. To put this new-found interest to good use,in 2012 he began to take pictures of Cambodia's vast variety of birdlife.Worried by the loss of biodiversity in his hometown of Mukh Kampul in Kandal province, Senglim created a photography project. He carefully documents each new species he photographs: the common name,scientific name, its identifyingfeatures,whether the species is endangered or the 35-year-old aims to educate Cambodians about the importance of bird species and the effect development has on nature.Senglim thinks the biggest issues are damage to habitat and illegal hunting. Through his photography work he has also discovered what makes the problem worse is that there is not enough education and law enforcement. Hunting is at the root of Cambodian culture. Educating Cambodians about the need for conservation is of great importance to Senglim."Education is very limited. And in terms of legal enforcement, only one institution is standing out,and that is Wildlife Alliance, which has conducted a string of successful crackdowns（镇压） so far. However,there are few major campaigns on wildlife hunting as a whole."Senglim is working on a book on 100 significant bird species from some of the 400 species he has so far photographed,which he hopes will be published in early 2018. He says he looks forward to teaching in high schools and colleges to inspire a new generation of nature-lovers. "I think it's time to change the attitude, "he says.did Senglim carry out his photography projecttaking more pictures in the wild.improving his photography skills.renewing his interest in loving life.recording new birdlife he photographs.is Senglim's discovery about the wildlife facing greater risksdevelopment of the wasteland.of education and law enforcement.number of wildlife recorded in Cambodia.campaigns conducted by Wildlife Alliance.does Senglim expect to do in futurelegal enforcement.more books about photography.people's attitude to bird species.basic education in various schools.DEveryone needs to be safe,loved and to have a sense of belonging. These are inborn and natural basic needs. In an effort to have these needs satisfied, many of us tend to please others. And it works for a find that we experience less conflict with others, but theconflict within ourselves "no" produces feeling of guilt and saying "yes" brings anger.My father was in the military, so we moved shy, I didn't make friends. What's more,I grew up in a household where grades, image and how others saw our family were veryour household a "C" was unacceptable, a "B" should have been an "A" and an "A" meant the lesson was too was too skinny, my sister was too fat and my brother's lips and ears were too big for his tiny head.To stop pleasing others is easier said than done. It's a long process, one in which I am consistently working to perfect. The turning point for me came shortly after I got very first thing we did to end the cycle of catering to others was develop our own identity as individuals and then as a then we developed a strong set of core（核心） values and a vision for our third and one of the most valuable things we did during this process was develop our own personal influence on others and we valued deeply the opinions of thewiser and more successful people around us.Besides,we should understand that sometimes helping people actually hurts them. Struggle is necessary to success. Struggle strengthens character, making people determined. So sometimes allowing people to struggle is the best thing you can do for them.are we likely to feel when pleasing others... D..Guilty.can we infer from the author's experience as a childgrew up doing a lot of housework.was hard for him to adjust to the moving life.realized the value of opinions from others.parents had great expectations of the children.is the third paragraph mainly aboutsteps the author took to go on pleasing others.the author stepped out of the cycle of pleasing others.the author further developed his values and character.the author turned to others for their valuable opinions.does the author suggest doing others without delay.to help others.twice before offering help.someone alone in trouble.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2024年高考模拟考试英语试题
2024年高考模拟考试英语试题2024.05第一部分阅读(共两节，满分50分)第一节(共15 小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)AFor the 150th anniversary of the first Impressionist exhibition, the Musée d’Orsay, which houses the world’s largest collection of this current, is offering a major retrospective (回顾展) of this artistic trend with Paris 1874: Inventing Impressionism from March 26 to July 14.150 years ago, on April 15, 1874, in a luxurious photographer Nadar’s studio in northern Paris, Berthe Morisot, Edouard Degas and Claude Monet came together as a cooperative limited company to open the first Impressionist exhibition, a movement that would forever change the course of art history.The retrospective will take visitors on a virtual tour to the very moment 150 years ago. During the 40-minute immersive (沉浸的) tour, visitors will spend a virtual evening with the famous impressionists and travel by steam train to Bougival, west of Paris, where many of them worked. Visitors will then tour the main exhibition, which opens into a gallery with Renoir’s La Parisienne and La Danseuse that featured in the 1874 exhibition, and other impressionist paintings, drawings and sculptures.“The immersive experience is unique and innovative. You can go into this e xhibition and relive the evening with the artists and discover the origin of this movement. We want to recreate the emotion for visitors of the 1874 exhibition,” said Abastado, director of digital development at the Musée d’Orsay.Guidelines:* The experience is suitable for children of 11 y/o and above; children under 8 y/o are prohibited.*We remind you that, in view of the technology used, virtual reality experiences are not recommended for people with balance or vision disorders.*Walkers and motorized wheelchairs are not permitted in the space, but manual wheelchairs are accepted.1. What’s the retrospective mainly aimed at?A. Protecting cultural diversity.B. Fueling people’s love for art.C. Showing honor to late artists.D. Marking the birth of a movement.2. What can be experienced during the virtual tour?A. Painting a picture on the spot.B. Driving a steam train in person.C. Meeting famous impressionists.D. Staying overnight in the gallery.3. Who is the most suitable to visit the exhibition?A. An eight-year-old boy.B. An adult with a walker.C. A visually-challenged girl.D. A teenager in a manual wheelchair.BTravelling seemed like falsehood to me. I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand “transformed” them. Globe-traveling to me held no more promise than finding a few bills in the pocket of an old coat. I needed something deeper than an Eat, Play, Love moment.One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise: after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens. Maybe, it was time to make good on that promise.I finally boarded the plane. Vasilis picked me up at the airport. I smiled, thinking how improbable this moment seemed all those years ago.The decade-long wait proved to be well worth it. Every step through the ancient streets revealed new wonders. However, none of them truly mattered. What would forever alter my perception of travel was a chance encounter with a local.Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sound caught our attention—a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness of the residential street. Curiously, we followed the sound to a humble workshop. Inside, a welder (焊工) gave no mind to our presence behind him. He wore no flashy protective suit—this was just another day for him, another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature. Under the sunshade, his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth...As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied（=showed）. I imagined the welder happy, finding fulfillment in his craft (手艺) and returning to his loving family.... The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tea rs, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed.Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward—to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat.4. Which aspect of travelling makes the author feel uneasy?A. Shortage of adequate funds.B. Discomfort in dietary habits.C. Overstatement of travel’s effects.D. Danger of petting baby animals.5. What drove the author to go to Athens?A. Meeting a commitment.B. Exploring a unique landscape.C. Receiving further education.D. Escaping from the current life.6. What does the underlined word “poetry” in paragraph 6 probably refer to?A. Poems written by masters.B. Peace and simplicity.C. Spirit of craftsmanship.D. Special sound in the street.7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A. Friendship Lasts ForeverB. Travelling Shapes a Better SelfC. Pursuit of Happiness Never StopsD. The Ordinary Makes ExtraordinaryCIn 2022, the Nature Conservancy launched two 5-year pilot projects at working ranches (牧场) in Kansas and New Mexico to determine if virtual fences enable land managers to better perform regenerative(再生的) management practices and to assess potential benefits for biodiversity and for ranchers(牧场主)’ bottom lines, as well as impacts on soil carbon storage.Applauded by the U. S. Department of Agriculture as a climate adaption strategy, virtual fencing is an innovative technology that enables ranchers to use a smartphone or web app to remotely monitor and control where and when cattle graze (吃草). Virtual fences can reduce the need for physical fences, which require significant time, expense and labor to maintain. Physical fences also limit land managers in their ability to change grazing boundaries to adapt to seasonal changes in vegetation or to exclude cattle from ecologically sensitive areas.The cows are outfitted（=equipped）with battery-operated, GPS-enabled collars that send out a radio frequency to communicate with reception towers, creating virtual grazing boundaries set by a rancher. When a cow approaches the edge of the virtual boundary, the collar produces a sound signaling it to turn around. If the cow proceeds to cross the boundary, it receives a momentary mild shock, signaling that it’s gone too far and should rejoin its group.Grasslands are the least protected habitat on earth and one of the most effective carbon sinks, storing up to 20% of the world’s soil organic carbon. Unfortunately, grasslands are continuing to rapidly disappear for several reasons. For ecological health, most grassland ecosystems need periods of disturbance to aerate (使透气) the soil, stimulate plant growth and recycle nutrients into the soil. Ranchers complete this disturbance-rest cycle by managing the timing, location, herd size and intensity of grazing activities, all of which can be time-consuming and painstaking.“Currently, the costs of virtual fencing are still high, but in the long run it can help land managers better carry out management practices that regenerate land health, help address climate change and biodiversity loss,” said William Burnidge, director of the Nature Conservancy.8. What’s stressed concerning virtual fencing in paragraph 2?A. Its smart design.B. Its major advantages.C. Its wide application.D. Its working principles.9. What does the mild shock indicate to the cow?A. It’s time to return.B. It’s time to graze.C. It’s in danger.D. It’s in a wrong direction.10. What’s unavoidable for ranchers to complete the disturbance-rest cycle?A. Intense efforts.B. Polluted soil.C. Financial failure.D. Ecological imbalance.11. What’s Mr. Burnidge’s attitude to virtual fencing?A. Intolerant.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Conservative.DOver the past few months, I’ve been invited to speak with well-known writers, musicians and film producers regarding my recent book, Extraterrestrial. Prior to these conversations, I was on the receiving (and admiring) end of their artistic work, but now they were curious about my own research as a scientist. The reverse led me to recognize the similarities between innovation in the arts and the sciences.In sciences and arts alike, creativity appears magically as an unpredictable fountain of inspiration from the subconscious (潜意识). Its unexpected content breaks routines within traditional thinking. It delivers something new that is distinct from common practices, often taking people out of their comfort zone because it is ahead of its time. As a result, many innovators are laughed at and denied the recognition they deserve when they need it the most.There are many examples of such circumstances. In 1933 Fritz Zwicky inferred the existence of “dark matter”, but it took four decades for this concept to gain recognition within the astronomy community. Vincent van Gogh was considered a madman and a failure throughout his life. Today, his paintings are among the most expensive ever sold, though.Typically, life offers two ways of acquiring objects. One is by collecting available items, and the other is by creating things that never existed before. Whereas most items on the shelves of supermarkets are mass-produced, products that are newly created by artists or scientists are originally unique. Just like aging wine, a product of creative work acquires quality over time. It is colored by the response of the audience as well as by imitations. The initial circumstances are a reminder of an admirable baby. It is fascinating for a scientist or an artist to watch the interaction of their creation with the world, just as it is for parents to watch their children.Creativity in arts and sciences establishes a backdrop（=background）for human existence, as the content it invents gives pleasure and meaning to our lives. The human act of creation is an infinite-sum game, from which all of us benefit. And we can all participate in the creative process.12. Which can best replace the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 1?A. Priority.B. Assumption.C. Shift.D. Preference.13. What can best describe creativity in sciences and arts?A. It tends to be forecastable.B. It mirrors common beliefs.C. It usually leads the times.D. It enjoys instant acceptance.14. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A. Creative works withstand the test of time.B. Mass-produced items are preferable.C. Old wine can’t be put into new bottl es.D. Inventiveness starts from childhood.15. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To clarify a concept.B. To launch an appeal.C. To offer an entertainment.D. To advocate a lifestyle.第二节(共5 小题;每小题2.5 分,满分12.5分)Providing feedback(反馈意见) is an essential part of personal and career development. 16 One of the most effective and classic methods to make it easier for both the giver and receiver is the feedback sandwich technique, sometimes also referred to as a compliment (赞美) sandwich.If you are seeking to enhance your career growth, learning about the feedback sandwich can be a game-changer. 17 Rather than simply focusing on what went wrong, it ensures that the person receiving the feedback also knows what went well. The process can be broken into three parts. A manager or superior starts by providing positive feedback to encourage a person to continue their good work. Afterward, they communicate constructive feedback for the person to improve. This feedback aims to be specific, behavioral, and relevant to the situation. 18 The feedback sandwich technique is a highly useful method. It can help soften the blow of criticism. By starting and ending with positive feedback, it’s easier for the recipient（接受者）to receive the constructive criticism without feeling attacked. 19 As we all know, criticism is awkward, but when you’re giving potentially negative feedback, it’s easier when you’re also serving it up with two compliments. Additionally, it enables the meeting or an interaction to end ona positive note.20 Many people are knowledgeable about this technique, which might make it sound insincere or predictable if not done correctly. Also, when feedback becomes a routine, employees can start to perceive positive feedback as simply a form of sugarcoating the negatives, thus reducing its value. Hence, positive feedback should not simply be seen as something to cushion（=relieve）the negative, but should be delivered so as to reinforce(=enhance) and encourage good performance.A. It’s essential to be aware of its limitations, though.B. Similarly, it is also easier for the giver to offer feedback.C. The manager then ends the feedback session with positive feedback.D. The technique may lead to unclear and indirect personal communication.E. Delivering constructive criticism, however, can be challenging if not done correctly.F. It may not be for every situation, but it can make negative feedback more digestible.G. This technique involves using constructive feedback wrapped between two layers of positive feedback.第二部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15 小题;每小题1分, 满分15 分)I’d been exploring the 40-hectare woods around our cottage my whole life and I knew the way well.

These managers were never properly 7 andtendency to be more unsociable, which perhaps will have a negative influence on the relationship between other staff and them．While this may be good for a(n) 9 , it can be very bad for a manager with staff 10 to them．As a result，engineers 11 to managers are more likely to be bad managers．Therefore，from my point of view, young people who 12 want to become engineers really need to 13 if you'd like to be in management．The only 14 of being a manager over an engineer is the higher salary while the disadvantage is that managers will lose their 15 edge(优势)．1．A．decision B．subject C．idea D．disc ussion2．A．popular B．amazing C．annoying D．disa ppointing3．A．exists B．appears C．decreases D．grows4．A．Eventually B．Successfully C．Systematically D．Tem porarily5．A．position B．research C．satisfaction D．man agement6．A．assigning B．accomplishing C．conducting D．taking7．A．required B．informed C．reminded D．trained 8．A．In fact B．In addition C．In all D．In general9．A．engineer B．manager C．employer D．worker10．A．speaking B．talking C．reporting D．whi spering11．A．introduced B．turned C．comm anded D．forced12．A．constantly B．necessarily C．origin ally D．merrily13．A．reconsider B．apply C．desire D．struggle14．A．condition B．quality C．power D．adv antage二、阅读填空(共1题)1.It’s said that a giant rock was located in the North Sea but once many boats and ships 16 (strike) it and sank．About a century years ago，a kind and imaginative minister came up with an idea to have a buoy (浮标) 17 (fasten) to the rock．On the top of the buoy 18 (place) a bell，19 would ring whenever any ships got closer．When hearing the bell ringing，sailors knew where the rock was and stayed safe．One day, a sea robber Rover happened to sail not far away from the rock．Seeing 20 buoy floating in the water，he decided to play a trick．Soon his crew broke the chain that held the buoy, let the bell go into the water and then sailed away．In the following weeks，they robbed many 21 ships around the seas and filled the ship with a great 22 （vary) of treasures．Unfortunately, when returning，they themselves had no idea how to get away from the terrible rock 23 the ring．The ship was moving swiftly in the dark 24 there was a great crash．25 was the very rock and the ship began to sink．三、阅读理解(共5题)1.It was Thanksgiving morning．1 was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang．I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step．“Any old papers，lady?”asked one of them．I was busy．1 wanted to say“no”until I looked down at their feet．They were wearing thin little sandals (凉鞋)，wet with heavy snow．“Come in and I … I make you a cup of hot cocoa．”They walked over and sat down at the table．Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor．I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside．Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking．The silence in the front room struck me．I looked in．The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it．The boy asked in a flat voice．“Lady, are you rich? ”“Am I rich? Pity, not!”I looked at my worn—out slipcovers (椅套)．The girl put her cup back in its saucer (茶碟) carefully and said，“Your c ups match your saucers．”They left after that，holding their papers against the wind．They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful．Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence．But they matched．I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup．Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads，my man with a regular{ob，theseI moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room．The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor．Let them be for a while，I thought，just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am．26．The writer let the two children come in and served them well because __________.A．she wanted to sell old papers to themB．she wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving partyC．she showed great pity and care on themD．she wanted them to help her prepare turkey27．The writer had thought she wasn't rich because________．A．she ate potatoes and meat soupB．her family life supplies were not expensive．C．her cups and saucers were only worth 5 penceD．her husband had a regular job28．The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to __________.A．show that she was a kind-hearted 1adyB．remind her that she shouldn’t forget ho w rich she wasC．1eave room for readers to think about what being rich isD．prove that she was grateful to what she had owned29．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A．Lady, Are you Rich?B．Child，Do you Like Thanksgiving Day?D．How Cups and Saucers Match 130．Which word best describes the writer?A．Sympathetic B．Selfless C．Strong-minded D．Generous2.Lord Byron is one of the most excellent representatives of English Romanticism (浪漫主义) and one of the most influential poets of the time，His best known works are Childe Harolds Pilgrimage and Don Juan．described by Lady Caroline Lamb as“mad，bad，and dangerous to know”．Born on January22，1788，Byron spent his early years in Aberdeen，and was educated at Harrow School and Cambridge University．In 1809，he left for a two-year tour of a number of Mediterranean countries．He returned to England in 1 811，and in 1812 the first two cantos (篇)of Childe Harolds Pilffrimoge were published．Byron became famous overnight．In 1 8 1 5．Byron married Annabella Milbanke，with whom he had a daughter．The couple separated in 1816．Facing the pressure of his failed marriage and huge debts，Byron left England in April 1816 and never returned．He spent the summer of l 8 1 6 at Lake Geneva with Percy Bysshe Shelley．Byron traveled to Italy, where he was to 1ive for more than six),ears．It was in this period that Byron wrote some of his most famous works，including Don Juan．On April 19，1824，he died from fever at Missolonghi in Greece．His death was mourned throughout Britain．His body was brought back to England and buried at his hometown in Nottinghamshire．Byron influenced many authors and artists of the Romantic Movement during the 19th century．31．What did the author intended to tell us in the second paragraph?A．Byron was mentally ill．B．Byron was famous for his writings．C．Lady Caroline Lamb was lying D．Byron had terrible private life．32．Byron wrote some of his most famous works in _____________.33．Which of the following statements is true?A．Byron became famous when he was 24 years old．B．Byron lived in Italy for less than 6 years．C．Byron left his mother country to seek for inspiration．D．Byron spent most of his childhood abroad．34．The passage is mainly about _____________.A.

It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school's Grade 2class. Today ,at18,the Grade 12 student's initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode(解码)real-world problems.In 2021, she co-developed Megaphone, one of her first apps, to tackle unanswered post- class questions and poor communication about events and announcements. Her problem-solving ability kept building from there.When she took online CPR classes at the start of the pandemic, she figured it couldn't be just her who was struggling with the steps. So she created an app called CPR Buddy―a winner in the 2022 Apple Swift Challenge―which guides users through CPR using vibrations(震动) to regulate breath. After winning theaward, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn't lose her cool over. “There's no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),”she says.The next year, Angelina built an app called Lilac, designed to assist nonEnglish-speaking single parents with resources for housing, job opportunities and translation support. She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the US.When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training.Looking to the future, besides applying to colleges with great labs, Angelina is exploring the field of aerospace cybersecurity and mechatronics―combining computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.“There's not enough optimism in the world," she says. “I have also been in situations in my life where I've lost a lot of hope. But in the end, it is a mindset, and there are ways in any situation you're in to make it somewhat better."4.What is Angelina's pursuit?A. To design games for kids.B. To stimulate teen's curiosity.C. To address problems through technology.D. To find innovative approaches to digital challenges.5.What can we learn about Angelina from Paragraph 3?A. She couldn't breathe regularly.B. She was inspired by celebrities.C. She replaced CPR with an app.D. She was humble about her success.6.What was the primary goal of developing Pilot Fast Track?A. To direct pilots' career paths.B. To help to-be pilots find funds.C. To pair future pilots with airlines.D. To evaluate pilot training schools.7. What might be the best title?A. Breaking the codeB. Bearing growing painsC. Facing life as it isD. Following role modelsCSome people today might be early risers because of DNA they take after Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, suggests new research.When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70,000 years ago, some of them mated with Neanderthals, who had already adapted to the colder, darker climates of the north. The ripple(涟漪) effects of that intermating still exist today: Modern humans of non- African ancestry(血统)have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Some of that DNA relates to sleep more specifically, the internal body clock known as the circadian rhythm.For the new study, researchers compared DNA from today's humans and DNA from Neanderthal fossils(化石).In both groups, they found some of the same genetic variants involved with the circadian rhythm. And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also reported being early risers.For Neanderthals, being “morning people” might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight. This connection makes sense in the context of human history. When early humans moved north out of Africa, they would have experienced variable daylight hours--shorter days in the winter and longer days in the summer-for the first time. The Neanderthals' circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans' offspring(后代)adapt to this new environment.Notably ,the findings do not prove that Neanderthal genes are responsible for the sleep habits of all early risers. Lots of different factors beyond genetics can contribute , including social and environmental influences. The study also only included DNA from a database called the U.K. Biobank-so the findings may not necessarily apply to all modern humans. Next, the research team hopes to study other genetic databases to see if the same link holds true for people of other ancestries. If the findings do apply more broadly , they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones.8.What does the new research focus on?A. DNA's dramatic changes.B. Genes’ influence on early risers.C. Neanderthals’ sleeping patterns.D. Ancestors’ environmental adaptability.9.What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research?A. Historical context.B. Additional proof.C. Sample analysis.D. Studying process.10. What is the real benefit of carrying Neanderthal's DNA for modern humans?A .Getting up earlier. B. Having healthier daily routines.C. Being more flexible in their work.D. Possessing a better circadian rhythm.11. What can be inferred about the findings from the last paragraph?A. They get proof from other studies.B. They are confirmed by early risers.C. They suggest potential applications.D. They reveal factors in sleeping disorders.DI had to say something after reading The Anxious Generation. It is going to sell well , because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children's development many parents are led to believe. However, the book's repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children's brains and causing the epidemic (流行病)of mental illness is unsupported by science. Worse , the rude proposal that social media is to blame might distract (分心)us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis in young people.Researchers have searched for the effects suggested by Haidt. Our efforts have produced a mix of no, small and mixed associations. Most data are correlative. When associations over time are found, they suggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression, but that young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers.We are not alone here. Several analyses and systematic reviews centralize on the same message. An analysis done in 72 countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally. Moreover, studies from some authorities finds no evidence of intense changes associated with digital-technology use.As a psychologist studying children's and adolescents’ mental health, I appreciate parents’frustration(沮丧)and desire for simple answers. As a parent of adolescents, I would also like to identify a simple source for the pain this generation is reporting. There are, however, no simple answers. The beginning and development of mental disorders are driven by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors.More young people are talking openly about their mental-health struggles than ever before. But insufficient services are available to address their needs. In the United States, there is, on average, one school psychologist for every 1,119 students. We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more.12.What is presented in The Anxious Generation?A. Scary stories affect children's brains.B. Parents are responsible for children's health.C. Teen's mental illness results from screen time.D. The epidemic of mental illness is unavoidable.13.What does “the same message ”underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Many countries do research in mental health.B. Well-being and social media are closely related.C. The young are trapped in the mental-health crisis,D. Social media don't necessarily cause mental illness.14. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. Effective actions need to be taken.B. Positive stories should be shared.C. Financial support needs to be provided.D. Broader research should be done.15.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To suggest ways to help those in need.B. To encourage parents to brave the crisis.C. To recommend a newly-published book.D. To give a voice to children's mental issues.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。
