2020届上海市第五十二中学高三英语二模试题及答案
2020届上海市第五十二中学高三英语二模试题及答案第一部分阅读（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AOver the years, I’ve been guilty of hastily shutting the front door to many strangers when they came knocking with the intention of selling things. But earlier this year, around Easter time, a dear friend of mine had an experience that changed my mind and perception towards these “intruders”.Linda, who recently moved to a new neighbour hood, had been housebound all week suffering from a severe case of flu when, early one morning, there was the terrible knock on her front door. Peering out the window, she saw two young ladies demurely (端庄地) holding leaflets and a TV set model. She knew of a large TV set establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered. “This is the last thing I need today,” she muttered to herself and hesitantly opened the door.Coughing, she poked her head out and impatiently informed them she wasn’t the slightest bit interested in any TV whatsoever. Furthermore, she added, she was feeling quite unwell and abruptly shut the door. The ladies politely turned and left in silence.A few hours later, another knock. Linda glanced out the window and to her surprise, there were the same two ladies, back again. Really annoyed this time, she opened the door ready togive them a piece of her mind. Before she could speak, with concerned looks on their faces, these women handed Linda what looked to be a dish, saying, “We’re so sorry we disturbed you earlier. We thought you may like this homemade chicken soup. Hopefully it might make you feel a little better.”Linda was taken aback by this lovely gesture. Being new to the area, she didn’t know many neighbours or people who could assist her with shopping or errands (跑腿) so the gesture was all the more appreciated. She could only smile sheepishly and sincerely thanked them. With that, the ladies left.After she related this story to me, I thought about how touching this deed really was. Especially in today’s world where sadly, kindness and thoughtfulness seem so rare. I also realized that thinking about others and showing kindness is the real essence of love.1. What does the expression “give them a piece of her mind”in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Scold them severely.B. Drive them away.C. Refuse them directly.D. Speak out her idea.2. What can be learned about Linda from the passage?A. Linda always hastily shut the front door to many people.B. Linda was not a little interested in any TV whatsoever.C. Linda was very grateful to the ladies for their chicken soup.D. Linda would buy their TV set in reward for the ladies’ chicken soup.3. What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Chicken SoupB. Soup for the soulC. The Real Essence of LoveD. A Friend’s experienceBHumans have found an easy way to tell if others are lying. Recent research shows that the best way so far is being clever at how you ask questions and listen to the answers.Much of this research is based on the idea that telling a lie is simply harder mental work than telling the truth. Making up a story takes more effort than simply recording something that happened. And like a writer, a liar has to keep all the unreal details in his memory and sound believable when he explains them.One method that seems to work is asking them to tell their story in reverse order. This is harder when the story isn't true and makes it easier for you to tell they are lying. An even more basic way that helps is to just ask more questions, especially unexpected ones. Truth-tellers can easily find more to say, but it's a challenge for a liar to come up with something that's not in his prepared story.Researchers suggest that you shouldn't lay all your cards on the table at the start, but only gradually present what proof you have. The liars' stories may not agree with that proof, making it clear that they're lying.So it looks like there are ways to increase the chances of catching a liar; we've just been basing our methods on the wrong stories. Low-tech ways of causing people to make mistakes in conversation seem to work better than any science about eye movement or machines used to recognize a liar. To find a liar, watch less and listen more.4. Why does the author mention the writer?A. To show it's hard to make up lies.B. To show it's hard to recognise a liar.C. To show writers know liars best.D. To show writers are very clever.5. What do we know about liars?A. They often have much to say.B. They often ask many questions.C. They usually prepare a made-up story.D. They usually feel good about themselves.6. What advice is given to help people catch liars?A. Asking them to set their stories down.B. Presenting your proof one by one.C. Telling different stories to them.D. Letting them ask questions.7. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Why People LieB. How to Stop People LyingC. Low-tech Ways to Find a LiarD. LiarsAre Smarter than ThoughtCA student had to get his long hair cut off in a middle school in GuangDong Province. It was talked a lot among teachers and students.In fact, all schools have their own rules. In most schools, boy students are not allowed to have long hair while girls are not allowed to dye their hair. And most school rules say that students should wear their school uniforms at school. And students must obey these rules so that they can get healthy development at school.But some students have disagreements. They think that boy students having long hair doesn't mean that they are not good students. They want to show their own personality. They think that they would look cool too if they had long hair and the hairstyles like their favorite stars.A girl student thought that she would look much more beautiful if she had brown hair. So she had her dark hair dyed brown one day. When she went back to school the next day, the teacher was very angry with her. She said that she worked hard at her lessons and did well in every subject. She just didn't know why the teacher didn't allow her to dye her hair while women teachers can.It is not wrong for teenagers to love stars' hairstyles or wear their favorite clothes. However, a school has its own rules for all the students to obey so that the school can be in good order. Students should not break the rules at school.8. What aren't boy students allowed to do in most middle schools according to this passage?A. To have long hair.B. To wear uniforms.C. To like famous stars.D. To show their own personalities.9. Why did the girl make her hair brown?A. Because she wanted to be cool.B. Because she thought that she would look much more beautiful.C. Because she wanted to make her teacher angry.D Because women teachers dyed their hair.10. What does the writer think of these school rules?A. The students should be against them.B. They are bad for students.C. They can make schools in good order.D. They can't make students grow healthily.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. Hair styles and clothes.B. Schoolboys and schoolgirls.C. Students and famous stars.D. School rules.DA single toy catches a child's attention for a limited period of time, but a box of items that allows a child to build their own toys will catch their imagination for years to come. This brilliant idea already exists in real product form, and it's called Toyi.Toyi is described as an eco-friendly creative building kit, and it recently won the well-known IF Design Award. It came from Istanbul, Turkish, where a young female designer named Elif Atmaca first came up with the idea for it when she wanted to help the kids living in disadvantaged areas. These children do not have access to the variety of interesting toys that wealthier children do.Toyi Atmaca's design allows children to transform what are around them into clever toys. It consists of sticks, junction parts, flexible connectors, toy body parts like feet, eyes, hands, and wheels that can be used to turn old water bottles, cups, boxes, towels, etc. into cute, clever, and unique playthings. This toy kit upcycles(升级利用) materials that would otherwise go to waste, turning a recycling bin into a treasure container.“Our initial target was to deliver Toyi kits to only disadvantaged children in Turkish,” Atmaca told the media. But during a research conducted with around300 children, .she realized that the restriction on being creative went beyond any boundary. “I saw that everything was planned and shaped by grown-ups, blocking the kids' imagination in a significant way,” said Atmaca.Atmaca concluded that each kid needed space where he or she could freely create. She explained the entire process should be left to kids’ creativity, reminding teachers and all grown-ups that child-led play was an excellent way for children to develop lifelong skills.Toyi's creators are now considering distributing the kits to as many children as possible around the world through different international NGOs. Atmaca notes that for each Toyi kit sold out, they will also donate one kit toa disadvantaged child through different partnerships around the world.12. Why did Atmaca design Toyi at first?A. To win the famous IF Design Award.B. To help poor kids make their own toys.C. To protect the environment in Istanbul.D. To recycle all the waste in the dustbin.13. Which is probably the product made with the toy kit of Toyi?A. A new picture of a young boy.B. A computer with high technology.C. A treasure container from a dustbin:D. A six-armed “robot” from a water bottle.14. How do the toy kits help improve the children's ability?A. It provides the kids various types of toys.B. It offers space for the kids’ creative minds.C. It changes the poor kids' living conditions.D. It teaches the kids to share joys with others.15. What is the new target for Atmaca and her partners?A. Donating toykits to more poor children.B. Selling toy kits to every kid in the world.C. Designing new toy kits for kids and adults.D. Doing further research on the kids' demands.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。
2020上海市徐汇区高三英语二模试卷听力录音文字(官方word版)
2019学年第二学期徐汇区学习能力诊断卷高三英语听力文字I. Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.1.W:Did you call the manager?M:Yes. I told him our doorbell doesn’t work. He said he’d come over tomorrow.Q: Why did the man call the manager?2. W: I’m sorry, sir. We don’t seem to have a reservation for you.M: But my wife said that she had reserved a room for me here. I phoned her this morning just before I boarded the plane.Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?3. M: You look quite different from what you used to.W: Sure. I started exercising regularly two years ago and went from 207 pounds to a healthy 140 pounds.Q: What do we know about woman?4. W: Do you let people know when you are taking pictures of them?M: I try not to. You know, I don’t want people in my picture to look unnatural.Q: What are the speakers talking about?5. W: I can’t decide what to do about the party tomorrow.M: You don’t have to go if you don’t want to, but I’ll be glad to give you a ride if you do.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?6. W: I need to talk to someone who knows Tokyo well. I was told you once lived there.M: Oh, yes. But I was really young at the time.Q: What does the man imply?7. W: Hello, Fred. I got stuck in a traffic jam. I’m afraid I can’t make it before 9.M: Never mind. I’ll be waiting for you in your office.Q: What can we learn about the woman from the conversation?8. M: Did you check the power plug and press the play button?W: Yes. The power was on and it was running. But somehow the sound didn’t come through.Q: What is the woman probably trying to do?9.M: Oh my god! The heat is simply unbearable here. I wish we’d gone to the beach instead.W: Well, with these art museums, I’ll be happy here no matter what the temperature.Q: What does the woman mean?10. W: I heard about your promotion. You must be so excited.M: Not really. My new office is huge, but the work load has doubled.Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?Section BDirections: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the longer conversation. The passages and the longer 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 would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 1l through13 are based on the following passage.When Christina answered an advertisement on social media, her sister warned her that she could have problems. The ad was a weekend vacation to an unknown destination.The West Virginia Division of Tourism organized the free trip earlier this month. The goal was to advertise West Virginia as a perfect place to visit during the autumn months. The social media ad said next to nothing about the destination. It only suggested that people wear layered clothes and strong footwear. It also recommended they have a sense of adventure.In parts of the United States, mystery trips have grown into their own industry. Whether traveling by bus, train or airplane, these vacations have different lengths, costs and destinations. Often, organizers give people a general idea about where they are going. But sometimes they do not. The group Christina went with enjoyed dinner, nature and horseback riding. They watched musical acts at a former general store and spent the night at Canaan Valley Resort.“I would absolutely do it again,” Christina said. “It got me out of my comfort zone. It’s part of the adventure.” (Now listen again please.)Questions:11. What was the ad on social media probably about?12. What did Christina think of her experience?13. What is the passage mainly about?Questions14 through16 are based on the following passage.Once upon a time, goods were scarce, and hard to get for all but the extremely wealthy. But industrial mass production has changed all of that. Factories all over the world are pumping out bright and beautiful objects. When everyone has to wait and save up for new things, owning them feels exciting and special. But when lovely things are available every day, they stop being a treat.One of the features of consumer society is that we aim for social distinction through what we own. But if everyone has lots of stuff, how can we impress anyone with our purchases? All of this takes the fun out of shopping and means there’s a limit to how much consumerism can grow.This is deeply worrying to companies, and some of them have started to fight it, by creating artificial scarcity. For example, in Singapore, a small cafe only opens on random days. It sometimes stays closed for over a week at a time. This trend means we can again own something rare. But the risk for these companies is that in a world of so much stuff, if they make their products too hard to get, we’ll just buy from someone else instead.(Now listen again please.)Questions:14. What is one of the features of consumer society according to the passage?15. Why does the small cafe in Singapore stay closed sometimes?16. What is the passage mainly about?Questions17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: Can I help you? Are you looking for something in particular?M: Yes, well... I’m looking for the English literature section.W: Oh, it’s right down here. What are you looking for?M: I’m looking for a novel we’re supposed to read: Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility.W: Jane Austen. Hmm. Oh, here it is. Here you are.M: Eight een dollars? The price is right, but, erm, it’s just the text. There don’t seem to be any footnotes. Is this the only edition you have here?W: Yes, it is. Sorry.M: Would it be OK if I bought this now, and then returned it if I can find a better edition on the internet?W: Yes, certainly. But you’ll need to keep your receipt, of course, and be sure that the book is not marked up or damaged in any way.M: Sure, that’s fair enough.W: Did you want me to check whether we can find you another edition?M: I don’t think I have time. It usually takes so long to get a book through a bookstore.W: Unfortunately, that’s often true.M: Thanks anyway. I’ll take this then.And I’ll go back and see if I can find a better edition on the internet. Thanks a lot for your help.W: Thank you. Have a nice day.(Now listen again please.)Questions:17.Where are the two speakers?18.What must the man do if he wants to return the book?19.What can be learned from the conversation?20.What will the man probably do later?。

Note that there is one word more than you need.A.involvedB.processC.vigorouslyD.unnoticedE.continuallyF.chemicalsG.links H.retaining I.conveying J.functions K.relationshipFor years people have recognized the power that writing something down has been able to anchor (固定)a thought or emotion in the brain.This of anchoring emotions and memories with physical touch is now well supported by studies and frequently used by those who practice Neuro-linguistic Programming(NLP).Evidence that the mind and body connection exists in building and memories is abundant.More recently,however,researchers have been turning their attention to the between exercise and the brain.They are finding evidence that supports the belief that exercise can boost brain power.How can that happen?U.S.researchers have found that exercise helps that brain develop new brain cells in an area of the brain called the dentate gyrus.This area is known to be involved with age-related memory loss.The studies performed mice and later humans supported the evidence found in those studies:there was increased blood flow to the memory center of the brain after exercise,which may help optimize the way the brain.Basically,anything that helps the body to decrease stress hormones,which will improve attention span as well as mood and increase the body's metabolism,will also help the brain.It helps by making the brain cells healthier and better able to link to other cells.This action is vital for learning and new information.The fact that exercise makes positive changes in the nervous system and boosts cognitive abilities has not gone by schools.Many states have now established minimum times and frequency for physical education.This type of action is supported by studies that show how much better physically fit third graders and fifth graders performed on standardized tests than students who were still in their studies all the time.The evidence that obesity with lower levels of academic achievement in school children is starting to catch on everywhere.Walking at least three times a week was found to benefit your brain,for it will cease togrow for a lack of exercise.Creative writing benefits brain a lot as this type of activity is not mechanic and cause the brain to produce new which stimulate new dendrites and neurons to grow in the brain. Use one or more of your physical senses,involve your complete attention and break away from your routine in a significant way as dull brain is never ready for the unexpected.二、Reading Comprehension（45分）(共5题；共45分)3．（15分）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 college degree is,in most cases,the key to more money and a more comfortable standard of living.But that pathway to higher earnings is more（1）to some than others:A lot of leading colleges do not enroll a lot of low-income students,and as a result,they're not（2）very many students from low-income households into the middle and upper classes.（3）,though strategies for enrolling and preserving low-income students are usually mentioned,they can be tough to（4）at scale.Dozens of top colleges and universities have more students from the top1percent of the income scale than the（5）60percent.And that's a problem if colleges hope to escape the common（6）that they are little more than a finishing school for the elite(精英).But there are institutions—a lot of them—that have strong track records of（7）the socioeconomic fortunes of students.If higher education is supposed to be the great equalizer(平衡器),these institutions—from community colleges to public regional four-year colleges—are the ones that are doing the most work.Colleges should be（8）recruiting and enrolling low-income students—and that means more than targeting ads to（9）students on social media.It means a commitment to going where they are —areas that a lot of schools do not typically recruit—and publicize the process of going to college.Then they should be supporting students with（10）when the students get to campus—whether it's writing centers,generous financial aid packages,or simply sympathetic academic advisors who perhaps came from low-income backgrounds themselves.And it is also preparing students for jobs after college and building relationships with businesses that（11）the process of finding post-graduation employment for students,especially for those whose parents don't have their own professional（12）.Pace ranks first among private colleges in motivating its students from the lowest levels of the income

read.A round face,big eyes,soft fur and a quiet purr.It's not easy to resist the company of an adorable cat.No wonder French-German philosopher Albert Schweitzer once said,"There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life:music and cats."Indeed,it's no secret how much people around the world love cats.From China's Sina Weibo to US video-sharing site YouTube,bloggers across the globe love to show off their cats.In September,a charitable activity called"Cat Month"was held in Beijing.It was meant to encourage more people to care for our furry friends,especially stray cats.Cats become such a big part of pop culture in China that young people have come up withcat-related slang phrases,such as"cat slave"to refer to people who adore their cats,and"a daily dose ofcats"to refer to having to watch a certain number of cat videos to get through the day.People in Japan are also huge fans of cats.As the birthplace of Hello Kitty and the"beckoning cat", Japan made a"cat train"that was ridden around the country by30stray cats in2017.Passengers could sit and play with the cats on the train,offering the animals plenty of care and warmth.Istanbul,a historic city in Turkey,is also friendly to cats.In the recent documentary film Kedi, which hit Chinese cinemas in September,director Ceyda Torun showed us the daily lives of seven street cats with vivid narration.Cats there are not afraid of people.They go in and out of almost everywhere–coffee shops,markets,universities,and even government buildings.If you sit on a park bench,a cat is likely to come and snuggle with you.Seeing how cats have become a worldwide addiction,you may wonder why some people prefer cats over dogs.This may be down to how they identify with themselves–modern young people see the independent attitude of cats as something they value more."Unlike dogs,who look at us with their loving eyes,cats appear to show off their independence. They ask for attention in a way that tells us that they desire human companionship,but they don't need it," author Marie-Louise von Franz wrote in her book The Cat:A Tale of Feminine Redemption.（1）（2分）What's probably the best title of this passage?A．Time to End Loneliness B．Lovely CatsC．Loving Dogs,Loving Cats D．Cat Slaves（2）（2分）The word"stray"in the third paragraph most probably means"__________". A．disabled B．caring C．homeless D．restless（3）（2分）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．Japanese offer their care and love to stray cats and used to have a cat train.B．Kedi,a documentary film,tells us daily lives of seven street cats with attractive narration. C．Many people want to show off their cats on websites such as Sina Weibo.D．There are many cat-related slang phrases that people come up with around the world.（4）（2分）Why do many people become addicted to cats?A．Because they look at us with their loving eyes.B．Because cats are independent and sometimes will show off their characters.C．Because they ask for attention in a way that tells us that they need human companionship. D．Because people prefer cats to dogs.5．（6分）Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Movies Not to MissIn2019there will be returns to classic movie characters and stories.FILE PHOTOSIn2018,to which we've just said goodbye,we've seen blockbusters such as Black Panther,Crazy Rich Asians and A Star Is Born.And there are more exciting movies in the works for2019.Below TEENS has picked three for you.Let's take a look.Spider-Man:Far From Home,July5,USTom Holland,the lead actor of2017's Spider-Man:Homecoming,returns to play Peter Parker,a high school student who gains superpowers after being bitten by a spider.When we see him again in theaters,Spider-Man will have a new red-and-black suit.The movie will take the famous wall-crawler on a global adventure outside of the US.According to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige,Spider-Man will try a return to his"normal"self;he will try to find his old powers on his new journey.Hobbs and Shaw,July26,USTo most people the Fast and Furious series is all about crazy drivers racing in sports cars.But in its spin-off,called Hobbs and Shaw,humor is added to the action-packed thrills.The new film will hit US theaters on July26.Famous robust English actor Jason Statham will star alongside Dwayne Johnson,"The Rock",as Deckard Shaw and Luke Hobbs respectively,as in their previous appearances in Fast and Furious films.When the pair fought face to face in Fast and Furious8(2017),a confrontation was dubbed the"battle model for warriors".The action and chemistry really stimulated their audience.But the new action scenes between an MI6agent Hobbs and the killer Shaw will have to be good to beat their stand-off in the2017movie.The Lion King,July19,USThis is a brand-new version of the classic children's film.The story of wide-eyed young lion Simba still remains in hearts of world audiences even after25years.In this re-telling,Simba again begins the difficult journey to become the King of the Pride Lands,a vast African prairie.The favorite part of the story for many has always been the friendship between Simba,the meerkat called Timon and the warthog Pumbaa.The last two sacrifice all they have to help Simba to his throne.Howwill the new movie re-imagine their famous relationship?（1）（2分）Where might this passage come from?A．An report in a newspaper.B．A notice in the window of a cinema.C．A magazine about fashion.D．A advertisement distributed by a cinema.（2）（2分）Which film is filled with adventure and humor?A．Spider-Man:Far From Home B．The Lion KingC．Hobbs and Shaw D．The Fast and Furious（3）（2分）Which of the following statement is true according to the article?A．In Spider-man:Far From Home,Tom Holland,the lead director will return to play Peter Parker. B．In The Lion King wide-eyed young lion Simba eventually becomes the King of the Pride Lands,a vast African prairie.C．The new action scenes in Hobbs and Shaw is a confrontation which is dubbed the"battle model for warriors".D．In2019,there will be three classic movies to be released in the US in all.6．（8分）Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.A radio report caught my attention the other day,as it spoke straight to my heart:Cadets(学员)at the US Naval Academy are now required to revisit and potentially revive the ancient skill of steering a ship by the stars.By the stars―imagine that:looking up at the sky,not down at a screen,so many years after the heavens'critical role in guiding mariners has fallen by the wayside,first displaced by radio waves,then by modern GPS.Much is gained―but something also lost―in such progress,I think.It reminded me of my love of18th-and19th-century seafaring(航海的)tales(reading them is one of my coping mechanisms for life in the landlocked Midwest),when sailors had only celestial(天空的) maps for navigation and still miraculously managed to sail the planet's vast oceans and even circumnavigate the globe.Recent cyber security concerns have triggered renewed interest in backup navigational strategies such as stargazing,and simple hand-held technologies like the sextant,so often invoked in Richard HenryDana's Two Years Before the Mast,a tale that chronicles a mid-19th-century merchant ship's endlessly harrowing voyage from Boston to California and back.I wouldn't wish the harsh conditions of that trip on modern sailors,but I am all for anything that gets people clued in to their compass bearings(方位)and travel trajectories without high-tech and often mindless guidance."Is that north or south of here?"I've asked motel clerks and gas station attendants about a particular address I'm seeking in my GPS-less travels."Well,it's that way,"comes the most frequent reply,accompanied by a pointed finger,and I realize that north,south,east,and west are not familiar coordinates(坐标)to many people otherwise thoroughly attuned to the local lay of their land.To be fair,I haven't always been attuned to compass points either.In fact it was not until I was a young adult,lazing on a float in my parents'pool on a late summer's visit home,and watching the sun dip below the roofline,that I first realized that my childhood home faced due west.I was shocked that I'd been oblivious to this simple fact,especially since I'd begun to be schooled in geology and certainly in compass work.But like so many,I'd grown up thinking and navigating in terms of other coordinates,based on familiar streets,rights and lefts,and reference points such as my school,the homes of friends,the nearest playground,and the local shopping plaza.I've long since become accustomed to finding my bearings on travels in unfamiliar territory by the sun's position.And now I'd love to sit in on a class at the academy to learn to navigate by the moon and stars. It's a skill I'll likely never need to draw upon.Yet just knowing how it would connect me,in a new and profound way,to the historical arc of human experience on this planet.As for modern sailors,it might just bring them safely home one day,if all else fails.（1）（2分）What kind of role do18th and19th century seafaring tales play in the author's life? A．Enriching his dull inland life.B．Triggering his concern for cyber security.C．Arousing his interest in modern navigational strategies.D．Strengthening his resolve to revive an ancient skill.（2）（2分）The author mentions his experience of seeking an address in paragraph6and7to illustrate ______.A．The importance of modern technology such as GPS in travels.B．That it's essential to learn geography and compass work well at work.C．That many people don't navigate in terms of coordinates such as north and south.D．The convenience of navigating based on familiar streets,rights and lefts and reference points.（3）（2分）The underlined phrase"oblivious to"in paragraph8is closest in meaning to______. A．obvious to B．familiar withC．unconcerned about D．unaware of（4）（2分）Why does the author plan to learn to navigate by the moon and stars?A．Because he expects to experience the harsh conditions on the voyage in the past. B．Because he is required to revisit this ancient skill as a cadet at the U.S.Naval Academy. C．Because the skill can make his feel connected to the historical heritage of human beings. D．Because the skill can bring sailors home,safe and sound,if modern technology fails.7．（8分）Read the following passages.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.A.Coral reefs are threatened well beyond coastal areas.B.It won't happen immediately but it will be death by1,000blows.C.The reefs are likely to be among the first ecosystems to be wiped out by the climate crisis.D.It upgraded risk assessments for coral reefs following faster-than-expected global bleaching.E.The consequences include more than losing one of the most beautiful and bio-diverse habitatson the planet.F.Most available evidence suggests that coral dominated ecosystems will be non-existent at thistemperature or higher.Children born today may be the last generation to see coral reefs in all their glory.That's a warning from a marine biologist who is coordinating efforts to monitor the decline of the world's most colorful ecosystem.Global heating and ocean acidification(酸化)have already taken a heavy toll on the world's coral reefs.Some16to33percent of all warm-water reefs have been severely bleached(漂白),and the remaining reefs are vulnerable to even a fraction of a degree more warming,said the marine biologist,David Obura. He chairs the Coral Specialist Group in the International Union for the Conservation of Nature."It will be like lots of lights blinking off,"he told the Observer."Between now and2 degrees Celsius,we will see more reefs dropping off the map."Today's reefs have a history going back25million to50million years.They have survived collisions between the Earth's tectonic plates(地壳板块),such as that of Africa into Europe,and India into Asia.Yet in five decades,Obura said,mankind has undermined the global climate so fundamentally that the globally connected reef system could be lost in the next generation.The warning follows a landmark UN climate report.Scientists warned that if warming reached2℃,which now appears very likely in the next50years,there would be a more than99%chance that tropical coral reefs would be wiped out.The UN report also warned of severe knock-on impacts to fisheries and millions of people living in coastal communities,who will lose vital sources of income and be less protected from storms.Coral reefs are often described as undersea forests,but they are declining far more quickly than the Amazon rainforests.A temperature rise of just1to2degrees Celsius can cause the algae(藻类) upon which corals(珊瑚虫)depend to leave.That would drain the coral reefs of colour and make the structure more easily broken.These bleaching events can be temporary if waters cool,but the more frequent they are and the longer they last,the greater the risk of irreparable damage.三、Summary Writing（10分）(共1题；共10分)8．（10分）Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Fed up with constantly having to recharge or replace batteries in your ever-expanding electronic devices?The solution may be just a few steps away."Energy harvesting"promises to power countless consumer devices,often with nothing more than your body's movement or heat.Among the most basic forms of the technology is body power.When certain materials are squeezed or stretched,the movement of their atoms creates an electrical charge.Automatic watches have employed the concept for decades,for example,by winding themselves when their user moves their arm.Now,the concept is being considered for a number of other devices.In a contest seeking visionary ideas for wearable technologies,Intel awarded$5,000for a concept to change the temperature difference between a person's body and a special piece of clothing they'd wear into electricity for mobile ing sound to power devices is another energy-harvesting variation.Stanford University engineers are testing smart microchips that create electricity from ultrasound to power implantable devices that can analyze a person's nervous system or treat their diseases.A textile research association in Spain is proposing to obtain electricity from radio waves that flow around everyone to power sensors sewn into clothes,which can monitor a person's heartbeat or other vital signs.Obtaining stable energy from devices can be complex,however.For one thing,the motion that generates the electricity has to be constant to be useful.Moreover,the amount of power the devices produce depends on the person using them,according to a Columbia University study.It determined that taller people on average provide about20percent more power than shorter ones when walking,running or cycling. It's also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products.四、Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.（15分）(共4题；共15分)9．（3分）我们反对以牺牲健康为代价去追求事业上的成功。

Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Martha Stewart was charged, tried and convicted of a crime in 2014. As she neared the end of her prison sentence, a well-known columnist wrote that she was “paying her dues,”and that “there is simply no reason for anyone to attempt to deny her right to start anew. ”67 Unfortunately, many federal and state laws impose post-conviction restrictions ona shockingly large number of Americans, who are prevented from ever fully paying their debt to society.At least 65 million people in the United States have a criminal record. This can result in severe penalties (惩罚) that continue long after punishment is completed.Many of these penalties are imposed regardless of the seriousness of the offense or the person’s individual circumstances. 68 They can affect a person’s ability to get a job and qualification for benefits.In all, more than 45, 000 laws and rules serve to exclude vast numbers of people from fully participating in American life. Some laws make senses. No one advocates letting someone convicted of pedophilia (恋童癖) work in a school. 69 Should a woman who possessed a small amount of drugs years ago be permanently unable to be licensed as a nurse?These laws are also counterproductive (适得其反), since they make it harder for people with criminal records to find housing or a job, two key factors that reduce backsliding. A recent report makes several recommendations, including the abolition of most post-conviction penalties, except for those specifically needed to protect public safety. 70 .The point isn’t to excuse or forget the crime. Rather, it i s to recognize that in America’s vast criminal justice system, and second chances are crucial. It is in no one's interest to keep a large segment of the population on the margins of society.2024届上海市徐汇区高三二模考试英语试题Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentenceAstronomers are eagerly anticipating a celestial (天体的) event that promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime sight: the appearance of a "new star" in the night sky, expected to occur sometime between now and September, as reported by NASA. This event, known as a nova (新星), is projected to take place within the T Coronae Borealis system, nestled in the constellation(星座) Corona Borealis, situated between the Boötes and Hercules constellations.In contrast to the explosive demise of a massive star seen in a supernova, a nova is characterized by a sudden, brief explosion originating from a collapsed star, specifically a white dwarf. The T Coronae Borealis system is affectionately called the "Blaze Star." (67) _______________________ These stars orbit closely enough to interact violently, leading to periodic explosive events, with the last eruption observed in 1946.(68) _______________________ Over time, the red giant becomes increasingly unstable, shedding its outer layers onto the white dwarf. This exchange of matter eventually triggers a "runaway thermonuclear reaction," resulting in the nova phenomenon, according to NASA.While the precise timing of the upcoming nova event remains uncertain, astronomers are closely monitoring the T Coronae Borealis system, which has been dimming since March of the previous year.

Cooke, lead of NASA's Meteoroid Environments Office, notes that while most novae occur unexpectedly, T Coronae Borealis is one of the 10 recurring novae in the galaxy, offering some predictability to its eruptions.Located approximately 3,000 light-years away from Earth, the T Coronae Borealis system is typically too faint to be seen with the naked eye. (69) _______________________Once the nova reaches its peak brightness, it will appear as if a new star has emerged in the night sky, remaining visible for a few days without any equipment and slightly over a week with binoculars before gradually fading from view over the course of about 80 years.(70) _______________________ As an effective observing approach, they provide valuable insights into the dynamics of recurrent novae and the processes occurring within these stellar systems.The NASA Universe account on X will provide regular updates on the nova event, allowing enthusiasts and researchers alike to stay informed about this captivating astronomical phenomenon. Reflecting on past experiences, including witnessing the 1975 Nova Cygni, which inspired his career in astronomy, Cooke underscores the significance of these celestial events in shaping our understanding of the cosmos.2024届上海市上海市闵行区高三二模英语试题Section CDirections: Read the following passage.

Reflect on a particular piece of media from our childhood—perhaps it’s the TV show we eagerly awaited every weekend during visits to our grandmother’s house. 67 It shapes our dreams and fears and even drives us to future careers.68 Older children may have had a lot more restrictions, like TV shows, movies, and social media access. And because of these, they were able to be a child for longer compared to their siblings (兄弟姐妹). Ch ildren who have older siblings tend to show more mature tendencies and can appear to “grow up quicker” than other children their age.While they might have been restricted from social media accounts until a certain age, once given access, they tend to be more prepared. The media exposure of our generation has undoubtedly led to an increased maturation at younger ages. 69 9Simply looking back at previous generations and the rate of consumption and processing of information that we experience every day, the effects of such are only beginning.As soon-to-be or current adults, we are already facing issues such as depression, anxiety, and delays in certain learning and social skills, just to name a few. Are we “more mature?” or are we o verexposed and at risk for exceptional mental, physical, and emotional consequences?In conclusion, childhood media consumption significantly influences our lives. 70Striking a balance between media exposure and mental well-being is essential fo r our growth in today’s media-rich world.2024届上海市静安区高三下学期二模英语试题Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentenceTime to end Santa’s ‘naughty list’?Many of us have magical memories of Santa secretly bringing gifts and joy to our childhood homes — but is there a darker side to the beloved Christmas tradition?I was —and I’m happy to admit it — a loyal believer of Santa. I absolutely loved the magic of Christmas, especially Santa Claus, and my parents went above and beyond to encourage it. However, as I begin to construct my own Santa Claus myth for my daughter, I can’t help but feel guilty. Could it undermine her trust in me?__67__ Back in 1978, a study published in the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry(矫正精神医学) found that 85% of four-year-olds said they believed in Santa. In 2011, research published in the Journal of Cognition and Development found that 83% of 5-year-olds claimed to be true believers.I guess it’s not all that surprising. __68__ He features in every Christmas TV show and movie. Each year the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) allows you to track Santa’s journey on Christmas Eve. To reassure children during the pandemic in 2020, the World Health Organization issued a statement declaring that Santa was “immune” from Covid 19. And it’s precisely this effort on behalf of parents, and society in general, to create such seemingly overwhelming evidence for the existence of Santa Claus that David Kyle Johnson, a professor of philosophy at King’s College in Pennsylvania, describes as ‘The Santa Lie’ in his book The Myths That Stole Christmas. He highlights how we don’t simply ask children to imagine Santa, but rather to actually believe in him. __69__The ‘Santa lie’ can reduce trust between a parent and a child. __70__ It is the creation of false evidence and convincing kids that bad evidence is in fact good evidence that discourages the kind of critical thinking we should be encouraging in children in this era. “The ‘Santa lie’ is part of a parenting practice that encourages people to believe what they want to believe, simply because of the psychological reward,” says Johnson. “That’s really bad for society in general.”2024届上海市浦东新区高三下学期二模英语试题Section CDirections:Read the following passages.

Is it the thought of success and all the amazing things that you can achieve, or is it the fear of failure and worry about all the things that can go wrong for you? _____67_____ But is one better than the other?A recent study looked at the effect of fear-based strategies on British secondary school students. As is so often the case, it’s complicated. They fou nd that if a test is seen as important, and students are optimistic that they can succeed, then the fear of failure can be used successfully by teachers to motivate these learners. _____68_____ It can in turn lead them to do worse on the test than they would have done otherwise. The study also found that if students are disengaged and don’t care about the test in the first place, then, unsurprisingly, the fear of failure is not likely to motivate them.Entrepreneurs often run the risk of failure. It’s a fac t that most new companies will fail. _____69_____ The personal consequences of failure can be significant, and so founders may be motivated to work harder to avoid them. A study carried out on British and Canadian entrepreneurs found that fear of failure can improve problem solving, as people are motivated to anticipate and resolve potential issues. However, the study also showed that it can lead to increased procrastination as people focus too much on what they personally fear, rather than what would be best for the business. If someone is less confident about their business idea, then they may find their decision-making negatively affected by their fears._____70_____ It can drive confident people to do better, but it can also increase our doubts and turn them into barriers.参考答案2024届上海市长宁区高三下学期二模英语试卷Section C 评分标准：每小题2分。

I came across them years ago as a college freshman, sitting in the library on a beautiful spring day, bored, working on a history paper, I don’t recall (21) I was researching into. Out of nowhere, those two words came (22) (dance) off the page in a quote by Gandhi, “In the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.”After those words (23) (read) again a dozen times, suddenly I was no longer bored. Outside in the sunshine, I kicked off my shoes and danced barefoot across a spring-green lawn.I love spring. And this year, I was especially hungry to see it. Flying home last weekend to Las Vegas, after 10 days in California, I looked down on hills that were so green that I (24)almost taste them. When I approached Vegas, the green turned a dull desert brown.We landed after sunset, and the only green to be seen was neon（霓虹灯）.But the next morning, to my surprise, I (25) (awake) to find signs of spring all over my yard. (26) my absence, all sorts of things had leafed and bloomed. Three days later, I drove toArizona to visit a friend and get yet another taste of spring seeing the Giants play the A’s in spring training. The drive across the desert was completely great, a variety of wildflowers and blooming cactuses.Sometimes we need the chance (27)(remind) that we’re still alive. After my husband died, a friend sent me a card which read: “Just(28)you think you will never smile again, life comes back.”Life persists, and so do (29) in the green of spring and the dead of winter, in the birth of a child and the passing of a loved one; in the words we leave behind and the hearts of those (30) will remember us.

But with more people living and working overseas and becoming exposed to influences from different cultures, many of us are seeking a(n) 31 , connected world.According to the recently published study from Culture Trip, 60% of people in the US and UK say that their outlook on life is shaped by the 32 from different cultures. As a society, we not only want to discover and experience other cultures, we want to learn from them, too. This is one of the many positive side effects of globalization. At the same time, the economic landscape of the last decade has resulted in a shift in values away from 33 , with younger generations more interested in collecting experiences than possessions.Welcome to the “new culture economy”.The collision （碰撞）of two trends - globalization and the experienceeconomy - has 34a new attitude to travel, with cultural curiosity at its heart. This is the “new culture economy”. The phenomenon is havinga powerful impact on people’s interactions and definitions of35exploration, and presents an incredible commercial opportunity.While globalization is usually talked about in the context of the 36 of trade and capitalbetween countries, we shouldn’t forget that the 37 force behind it all it people. Education, travel, exposure to other customs and geographies andthe cultural integration（融合）are the moreinfluential social effects of globalization. People areincreasingly living or working in countries other than the ones in which they were born - more than half of respondents from the study have friends living overseas, all of which has 38 in more interaction with global cultures.Also, student debt and unafford-able housing have created a(n) 39in spending patterns, and so a new set of values has emerged in which experiences matter more than ownership. Travel is absolutely necessary to most people’s lives - in fact, nearly half of all respondents cut down ontheir daily expenses so they can save money to travel more. For “generation rent” in particular, no matter how expe nsive an experience or a trip, it is still more 40 than a house.III.ReadingComprehensionSection 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.Communication, One Major Part of theScientific MethodScientists may feel it their duty to share their guesses, methods, and findings with the rest of the scientific community .This sharing serves two 41 . First, it supports the basic deal ofskepticism（怀疑论）by making it possible for others to say,“Oh,yeah? Let me check that.”It tellsothers where to see what the scientist saw, and what techniques and tools to use. Second, it gets the word out so that others can use what has been discovered. This is essentialbecause science is a(n) 42 efforts. People who work thousands of miles apart build with and upon each other’s discoveries.The communication of science begins with “peer review”, a process of 43 an author’s scholarly work, research or ideas to the inspection of otherexperts. It typically has three stages. The first occurs when a scientists seeks funding - from government agencies, foundations, or other44 -- to carry out a research program. He or she must preparea report describing the intended work, laying out background, hypotheses（假设）, planned experiments, expected results, and eventhe 45 impacts on other fields. Committees of other scientists then 46 the report to see whether the scientist knows his or her area, has the necessary abilities, and is realistic in his or her plans.Once the scientist has the needed 47 , has done the work, and has written a report of the results, that reports will go to a scientific journal. Before publishing the report, the journal’s editors will show it to other workers in the same or 48 fields and ask whether the work was done adequately, the conclusion are justified, and the report should be published.The third stage of peer review happens are publication, when the broader scientific community gets to see and 49 the work.This three-stage quality-control process can, of course, be faulty.Any scientist withindependent wealth can 50 the first stage quite easily but such scientists are much, much rarer today than they were a century or so ago. Those who remain are the object of envy. 51 , it is fair to say that they are not disapprov ed as were those whoavoid the latter two stages of the “peer review” mechanisms by using press conferences.On the other hand, it is certainly possible for the standard peer review mechanisms to 52 . By their nature, these mechanisms are more likely to 53 ideas that are not different from what the reviewers think they already know. Yet the un-traditional or unconventional ideas are not 54 wrong, as Alfred Wegener proved when he tried to gain 55 for the idea of continental drift in the early twentieth century. It was not until the 1960s that most geologists accepted hisideas as genuine insights. 41. A. purposesB. dutiesC. interestsD. needs 42. A. innovativeB. prospectiveC. cooperativeD. plain 43.

In 1990, when I was five, my family moved to the United States. I started getting ear infections every three months or so. We didn’t have health insurance at the time, and when I got a third infection, my parentscouldn’t afford the treatment. I went deaf in my right ear and was left with 50 percent hearing in my left. Over time, my remaining hearing dropped to 20 percent, where it is today. My doctors predicted that I would be thoroughly deaf by now, so I think I’m doing pretty well.There was always music on in my house in my childhood. I loved listening to Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson. My dad was a DJ, so he played disco, folk, rock, and music from other countries. For my 18th birthday, my dad asked me to deejay at the restaurant be owned.After doing that for a few weeks, I was hooded. I desired to learn more. I e-mailed DJ Shiftee, a distinguished New York City DJ, whenI was 25: “I know you like a challenge. How about teachinga deaf person to deejay?” He wrote back the next day; “Challenge accepted.” He tutored me twice a week for two years, helping me develop correcttechnique. I practiced four hours a day.Now when I’m performing, muscle memory takes over. When I started, I wouldn’t tell the club managers that I was deaf.I would just show up, introduce myself, and start playing music. At the end of thenight, someone would say, “Oh, here’s the check.” And I’d say, “What? Oh, I can’t hear.” They were always so astonished. Sometimes I would bring doctor’s notes because they wouldn’t believe me. It was reassurance that they were giving me opportunities to perform because I was brilliant, no out of sympathy. E ventually people started calling me “that deaf DJ,” and the name stuck.What fascinates me about deejaying is the creativity. I usesoftware that turns the music into lines of color on a computer screen. I’m visually hearing the music. The next time you go dancing, cover your ears, and you’ll start seeing that you’re able to hear the music in a different way. Music is not all about hearing. I pay all sorts of get-togethers now, from college parties to corporate events. I also go to elementary schools for the deaf and talk to the students about motivation and believing in themselves. I’m big on talking to the parents. I tell them, “My advice to you is let your kids chase their dreams. I’m a deaf DJ, so why not?”56.Which of the following might result in the aut hor’s hearing loss?A.Monthly ear infection.B. Moving to the U. S.C. Family financial hardshipD. The doctors’ prediction.57.How did DJ Shiftee help the author during his youth?A.He taught him correct skills.B. He discovered his talent for DJ.C. He played at the restaurant for him.D. He cultivated his taste for foreign music.58.The underlined expression in Paragraph 3 “the name stuck” probablymeans that .A.the author was in low spiritsB. the author impressed people deeplyC.the audience felt disappointed by the playerD.the audience looked down upon the player59.We can conclude from the passage that the author loves deejayingbecause .A.working as a DJ involves innovationB.music helps him to see the world virtuallyC.he motivates the kids to realize their dreamD.he desires to challenge something impossible(B)FREE HomeschoolingIf you are reading this page you are looking into homeschooling.

Scores of people wander around on the thick crash pads, chatting, waiting their turn and offering the odd shout of encouragement to those clinging on to the colourful climbing walls.Rock climbing was once classified as an “extreme sport”. But indoor centres like The Arch, which offer climbing without the need for rocks, are bringing it into the mainstream. The British Mountaineering Council estimates there are at least 248 public climbing walls in Britain, a number that has risen by 30% since 2010. In 2020 th e sport’s governing b odies are hoping to see an even bigger increase in interest. Along with skateboarding, surfing and karate（空手道）, rock climbingwill be making its first appearance as an Olympic sport at the summer games in Tokyo.The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is frank about the ambition to appeal to a younger crowd who may be less familiar with longer-standing sports such as athletics and weightlifting. The crowd at the Arch is exactly what the IOC has in mind: mostly young professional letting off steam after work, who see climbing as a more engaging ans sociable alternative to jogging on running machines or pumping iron in a gym. Between them, the new sports will mean another 18 events and 474 athletes at the Tokyo games.Officially, all four sports are delighted with their new status. But with the exception of karate, all of them have counter-cultural, anti-establishment roots. Some stars have wondered whether accepting the Olympic torch means going against their beliefs. Owen Wright, a famous surfer, has said that surfing is more art form than sport, and therefore not suitable for the games -though hehas since gone back on his word, and hopes to represent Australia in Tokyo.Adam Ondra, a Czech who is one of the world’s climbers, said he might steer clear of the games because of the format. The eventual Olympic champion will have to master all the three disciplines including bouldering (climbing without a rope, low to the ground, with a focus on hard, gymnastic moves), lead climbing (roped climbing up a tall wall of increasing difficulty) and speed climbing. Bouldering and lead climbing feature new routes in each stage of a competition, in an effort to imitate the variety of real rock. But speed climbing takes place on a standard, unvarying course. Because of this, said Mr. Ondra, “speed is a kind of artificial discipline ... and this is against the soul of climbing.”Skateboarders, also notably rebellious, can be strikingly young. Sky Brown is set to become Britain’s youngest Olympian and has settled down to training. By the time of the Tokyo games, she will have turned 12.63.Which of the following statements is true about rock climbing？A.It originated in The Arch, a sports centre on the River Thames.B.It has evolved from a mainstream sport into an extreme sport.C.Spectator’s encouragement contributes to its rapid expansion.D.The increase in climbing walls reflects a growing interest in it.64.IOC introduced rock climbing into the Olympics in ordertoA.familiarize the global population with the new sportB.attract young people who lack interest in traditional sportsC.enable the young to let off their energy after workD.challenge the dominant status of traditional sports65.What can you infer from the star athletes’ responses according to thepassage?A.Surfers are expected to strike a balance between art and sport in the Olympics.B.Rock climbers must be self-disciplined if they are to win the championship.C.Adam believes that the soul of climbing consists in its harmony with nature.D.Strikingly young skateboarders have an advantage over other opponents.66.What is the passage mainly about?A.With the addition of new Olympics sports, stars are divided on whether to participate.B.Rock climbing, skateboard, surfing and karate are accepted as Olympics sports.A. It all goes back to each country’s distinct cultural heritage.B. American stories are rooted in realism; even our fantasies are rooted in r ealism.C. Both boys are characterized by their unique roles, thus breathing life into the fancy stories.D. Meanwhile, the United States, also a major player in children’s classics, deals much less in magic.E.

Children obesity is alsoat an all-time high.Obesity means being very overweight. If you are obese, you have too much bodyfat. If you eat more food than your body can use, this will make you put on weight. Food that your body does not need will be stored as fat by your body.The following are the major factors that increase the risk of obesity.What you eat plays a major role in weight gain. Eating a lot of fast food such as hamburgers, sweet drinks, ice creams and other sweet food can increase the risk of becoming obese.If you do not do enough exercise, you will put on weight as the food you eat is not being used to make energy for physical activities.The chances of you being obese are greater if your parents are obese.There are many psychological factors that cause people to eat too much. People who are worried, unhappy or bored will often eat to make themselves feel better. This is known as comfort eating.Age is another factor, as you tend (趋于) to be less active when you get older. When you get older, you need to eat less, and if you do not eat less, you will put on weight. Obesity can cause many health problems such as heart problems, high blood pressure and many other serious medical conditions.1. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means that ____.A. obesity does not do harm to health.B. there are more obese children than before.C. all the American children are obese.D. there are less obese children in the USA.2. According to the passage, there are ____ major factors that increase the risk of obesity.A. threeB. fourC. fiveD. six3. What will the writer most probably talk about after the last paragraph?A. How to avoid obesity.B. How to live in the busy USA.C. What illnesses are caused by obesity.D. How doctors treat heart problems.BTyphoons can be deadly — in 2013, Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest ever recorded, was responsible for 6,340 deaths—and cost billions in damages. Current forecast modelscan only predict these storms 10 days in advance, at most, and they cannot precisely predict how intense the storms will become.An international team of researchers has developed a model that analyzes nearly a quarter of Earth’s surface and atmosphere in order to better predict the conditions that birth typoons.“The target problem of this study is how to foretell the birth of typhoons,” said paper author Mingkui Li, associate professor in the Key Laboratory of Physical Oceanography in the Ocean University of China and the Pilot National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology (QNLM). “We specifically address three aspects: the beginning time, inner pressure and maximum wind speed.”The researchers also accounted for the influence of one variable(变量) on another, such as wind speed on sea surface temperature. This influence is well understood and accounted for in climate predictions and in weather forecasts, butithas not been fully applied in understanding how long-term climate affects day-to-day weather, according to Li. “We aimed to provide insights on the time scale that can be used to forecast typhoons in advance.”From their study, the researchers determined that a model with the ability to better understand the relationship between warm sea surface temperatures and weak wind movement— conditions that favor typhoon formation—could improve typhoon predictability.“Our goal is to develop a 10 to 30-day prediction system that will lead to seamless(无缝的) weather-climate predictions.” Shaoqing Zhang, paper author and professor in the Key Laboratory of Physical Oceanography, said.4. What is the problem with the present forecast system?A. It cannot foretell storms in advance.B. It is ineffective in accuracy and timeliness.C. It costs too much and causes great damages.D. It can hardly predict the intensity of typhoons.5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The variable.B. The climateC. The temperature.D. Theinfluence.6. What is the purpose of the study?A. To advance the prediction system.B. To figure out the three main aspects.C. To know how climate affects daily weather.D. To understand the influence of the variables.7. Where is this text most likely from?A. Awork diary.B. A travel guidebook.C. A science magazine.D. A fantasy fiction.CThe modern Olympics, which appeared in ancient Greece as many as 3,000 years ago, have become the world’s most important sporting competition. From the 8th century B. C. to the 4th century A. D., the the ancient Olympics were held every four years in Olympia in honor of the god Zeus. The first modern Olympics took place in1896 inAthens, and featured 280 participants from 13 nations, competing in 43 events. Since 1994, the Summer and Winter Olympic Games have been held separately every two years. The 2020 Summer Olympics, delayed one year because of the COVID-19, was held in Japan in 2021.The ancient Olympics were held every four years between August 6 and September 19 during a festival honoring Zeus. The Games were named for their location (位置) at Olympia, a place near the western coast in southern Greece. Their influence was so great that ancient historians began to measure time by the Olympic Games held every four years.After the Roman Empire conquered (征服) Greece in the mid-2nd century B.C., the Games continued, but their standards and quality dropped. For example from 67 A. D., the Emperor Nero entered an Olympic horse race, announcing himself the winner even after he fell off hishorse during the event. In 393 A. D., Emperor TheodosiusⅠended the ancient Olympic tradition.It was another 1,500 years before the Games rose again, largely thanks to the efforts of Baron Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937) of France. Working hard at the development of physical education, the young man became inspired by the idea of creating a modern Olympic Games after visiting the ancient Olympic building. In November 1892, at a meeting of the Union des Sports Athlétiques in Paris, Coubertin suggested the idea of making the Olympics an international athletic competition held every four years.

The Olympics are popular in modern timeDDid you know that the average child has heard the word "no" over 20,000 times before they turn the age of three? Ironically, it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The "terrible twos" are categorized by a lack of understanding. Somewhere between three and four, children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this time they watch how other children and adults reason. If we're not careful, the children will watch us model a world of "NOs".By the time a person turns eighteen, how many times have they been told no? I haven't found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic, but I'm sure if the number is 20,000 by three, then at eighteen that number has multiplied. You can do the math.Anyway, I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However, do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no? Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化)all of the "NOs" we've heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else?The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run intopeople with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They have to take on the 20,000 NOs. However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it only takes one word to change the course of your day. That word is YES!12. What do we know about two- year- olds?A.
