The crisis is not limited to remote regions of the world. When Europeans first arrived in North America, 312 different languages were ___41___, of which 123 are now known to be extinct. Of the ___42___ languages, most speakers are grandparents and great-grandparents.Different researchers offer different definitions of “endangered”. The system of ___43___ used by the Catalogue of Endangered Languages evaluates languages in four areas: the ___44___ of all the speakers, how often the language is conveyed to the next ___45___, the rate at which it is losing speakers and the ___46___ in which it is used. Based on this data, languages are ranked on a six-point scale from “safe” to “severely endangered.” The midpoint, “endangered” refers to a language with betwe en 100 and 1,000 speakers who represent about half of the language’s community or ethnic group. The language is spoken only by some parents, of whom very few teach it to their children. It is ___47___ used at home and is not taught in schools or used for government business.Languages become endangered due to a number of ___48___ factors including globalization, economics, technology, education policy, and changes in ___49___ attitudes.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.( A )Many of China’s ancient architectural treasures smashed to dust before Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng began documenting them in the 1930s. The husband and wife team were among the first preservationists to operate in China, and by far the best known. Their efforts have since inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rush toward development.Becoming China’s best architectur al historians was no easy accomplishment. The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old, located in distant parts of the country. In many cases, they had to journey through dangerous conditions in the Chinese countryside to reach them. Exploring Chi na’s remote areas during the 1930s meant traveling muddy, poorly maintained roads by mule(骡子)or on foot. Inns were often dirty, food could be polluted, and there was always risk of violence from rebels, soldiers and robbers.Their greatest discovery was t he Temple of Buddha’s Light, in Wutai County, Shanxi Province. The breathtaking wooden temple was built in 857 A.D., making it the oldest building known in China at the time.Liang and Lin crawled into the temple’s most forbidding, forgotten areas to dete rmine its age, including one hideaway inhabited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs, covered in dust and littered with dead bats. “In complete darkness and among the awful smell, hardly breathing, with thick masks covering our noses and mouths, we measured, drew, and photographed with flashlights for several hours. When at last we came out to take a breath of fresh air, we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bag. We ourselves had been badly bitten. Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those the happiest hours of my years hunting for ancient architecture.”Liang wrote of the experience in an account included in “Liang and Lin: Partners in Exploring China’s Architectural Past.”56. On their way to the ancient buildings in 1930s, Liang and Lin faced following risks EXCEPT ________.A. accommodationsB. personal securityC. road conditionsD. vehicles57. Liang and Lin raised public awareness of _____.A. documenting smashed historical buildingsB. rebuilding historically valuable buildingsC. saving the oldest temples in ChinaD. protecting historical buildings58. While exploring the Temple of Buddha’s Light, __________.A. Liang and Lin caught insects with awful smellB. Liang and Lin were forbidden to breathe insideC. Liang and Lin were pleased at something unhoped forD. Liang and Lin determined its age by studying bedbugs’ hideaway59. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Creativeness results in discoveryB. Difficulty produces achievementC. Efforts contribute to happinessD.

However, some people are obviously more willing to take risks than others.②Biologists appear to have discovered a physical reason that explains why some people are risk-takers. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, a chemical that spreads signals between nerve cells. It is linked to the brains reward system and is the chemical that makes us feel good, and scientists believe it to be linked to risk-taking. Our nerve cells have dopamine receptors(接收器)which control the amount of dopamine that each cell receives. But not all receptors may be active. When a person has few active receptors to control the amount of dopamine that is received, a cell can become flooded resulting in an extreme feeling of happiness.③Researchers at Vanderbilt University and Albert Einstein College of Medicine asked 34 men and women to complete a questionnaire about their risk taking to assess whether they seek new opportunities or are cautious in life. The results of the research were consistent with similar studies carried out with rats, and had the same outcome. It concluded that people who are risk-takers have fewer dopamine receptors than people who are not. This suggests that the rush of pleasure a risk taker receives when a cell becomes flooded with dopamine can become addictive for some people. They therefore pursue new and exciting activities in order to try to repeat this feeling, and as a result their concern for risk becomes considerably reduced.④Dopamine gives us a biological reason for risk-taking, but scientists believe there may be psychological reasons too. Sensation-seeking is a personality characteristic that describes the desire to find activities that bring us pleasure. In 1964, psychologist Marvin Zuckerman created the sensation-seeking scale. His 40-item questionnaire, still used today, was given to people who were active in seeking new activities, and to people who were more satisfied with a quiet life. While risk-taking is not a characteristic in itself, it is very much associated with sensation-seeking, as a high sensation-seeker does not evaluate risk in the same way that a low sensation-seeker does. A desire to achieve pleasure means that there is a greater willingness to take more risks.⑤There are both biological and psychological explanations as to why some people may choose to take more risks than others. However, none of these explanations are definitive.63. If a person has fewer active dopamine receptors, __________.A. he is less likely to feel happyB. he is more willing to take risksC. he will eventually become dopamine-addictiveD. he is poorer at controlling the amount of dopamine64. The underlined phrase “consistent with” is closest to “__________” in meaning.A. contrary toB. in agreement withC. at the cost ofD. persistent in65. What can be concluded from paragraph 4?A. The longing for pleasure may lead to risk taking.B. A willingness to take more risks can be cultivated.C. The sensation-seeking scale can help to evaluate risk.D. High sensation-seekers are more common than low ones.66. This passage mainly talks about __________.A. when we learn to take risksB. how risk-taking benefits usC. what makes risk-takersD. why we should take risksSection CDirections:Read the following passage. 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.Many options require city-level investment in new facilities.B.However, it is not yet clear which technologies and fuels cities will back.C.Through their actions, city governments today are helping to shape the cities of the future.D.For example, London is requiring all newly licensed taxis to be zero-emission capable from 2018.E.City planners are using transport-oriented development to increase density while maintaining quality oflife and property value.F.Some cities, such as Delhi, are investing heavily in creating the mass transport systems needed tochange how citizens travel.Sustainable Transport in CitiesTransport has always shaped cities. In Medieval times crossroads gave birth to blooming market towns. Many North American cities were created for the car. But how are the cities of today being shaped by a need for more sustainable transport?Many local governments are speeding up change through policy initiatives such as joined transport, congestion charges and low emission zones, sustainable gaining and lifecycle costing, and opening data up to companies and academics. And these city level policies can move markets in more sustainable directions. ___67___ This has resulted in five vehicle manufacturers committing to meeting that deadline, which is both in their own commercial interests and good for the environment.The least dense cities, for example, Houston, have per capita(人均的) carbon emissions nearly ten times higher than the densest, such as Singapore. ___68___ This involves gathering mixed use developments around a key transport center, as with the KL Central area in Kuala Lumpur, built around the largest railway station in Southeast Asia.___69___ Others are using motivations and behavioural change to encourage people to choose more efficient―and often healthier―forms of transport. Copenhagen has a number of progressive cycl ing policies including the Green Wave, which allows people cycling at 20km/h to hit all green lights during rush hour.Light weighting and new engine and fuel technologies are helping to make existing road and rail vehicles more efficient. ___70___ The main options are hydrogen fuel cells, fossil fuel hybrids, and electric vehicles, and the best solution may well vary from city to city.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Online “friends”―a threat to developmentThe impact of technology on the nature of our friendships has been a much-debated topic since the dramatic rise of social networks. Advances in mobile technology and social networking websites mean we spend more time online than ever before. It is therefore not surprising that so many psychologists, sociologists, and others are eager to give their thoughts on how this is impacting negatively on our society.There is one element of social networking that is deeply worrying. We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night, excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character. Professor Larry D. Rosen says that young people who overuse social networkingsites can become ineffective, aggressive, and display anti-social behavior in their offline lives. But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing—empathy. This is the emotion that allows us to see the world from our friends’ points of view. Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships.Professor Sherry Turkle suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone. This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours. Many admitted an addiction to their online social network; most complained that they felt cut off from family and friends. And yet being alone is a time when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others.These potential changes in our characters are rather alarming, so it is clear that we can’t neglect those negative impacts of social networks.第II卷(共40分)V.

Note that there is one word more than you need.A.invaluableB.roughlyC.satisfyingD.distractionE.simplyF.advantageG.reasonable H.performed I.schedule J.planned K.excellencePeople tend to think that productivity involves doing several things at once,but according to Cal Newport, the secret to success is the opposite of multitasking.Newport is the author of Deep Work,a book that describes the benefits of focusing on one thing and doing it with31.Newport defines deep work as"the ability to focus without32on a cognitively(认知地)demanding task."It's the opposite of shallow work,which is made up of simple tasks that are usually33while distracted.According to Newport,deep work is a(n)34skill in today's economy.It allows you to learn difficult things quickly and produce at a high level.Most people are distracted when they work,so you learn to work without distraction,that gives you35.Deep work enables you to produce to the best of your ability andacquire new skills quickly.Developing excellence in one's craft can be a deeply36try.But deep work itself is also a skill,which means the more time you spend at it,the easier it gets.Moreover,if you only work at a shallow level,your ability to do deep work decreases.So how do you conduct deep work into your work life or your studies?It's essentially important to37 deep work into your day.Otherwise,it's easy to let your time fill up with shallow work.Newport recommends doing deep work as your first task of the day.That way you get it done before distractions build up.Shallow work does need to get done,but if you save it for later in the day,you can get your deep work done,too.Scheduling deep work sessions for the same time every day can turn them into a habit.This makes it easier to spend time on them.Because deep work is by definition cognitively demanding,you won't be able to do it all day.Beginners can usually only focus on deep work for38an hour,and even experts have trouble going more than four hours. So set39goals for yourself.If you really focus,you'll be surprised at how much you accomplish in a few hours.By focusing on40sessions of deep work,you can get more done in less time and feel more satisfied. III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ideally,childhood is a time of growth and learning,preparing for adulthood and also having fun.But for many children around the world,this time is cut short when they are forced to work,sometimes in dangerous conditions.41,the United Nations(U.N.),some national governments and other organizations42June 12as the annual World Day Against Child Labor.As of2020,around160million children worked as child laborers,which means that one child in10was a child laborer.43,child labor has decreased over the past20years,but in recent years,this progress has stopped.Child labor is44from ordinary housework,helping with a family business or(for older children) working to earn pocket money when not in school.Work done by children is45as child labor when it harms the child physically,mentally,socially or46,or when it prevents the child's education.About79million children are engaged in hazardous child labor.Sometimes this means the work itself is dangerous because of heavy machinery or exposure to47.Hazardous child labor can also involve harsh conditions,long hours,or48to various kinds of abuse.The primary goal of the World Day Against Child Labor is raising49of the issue and encouraging individuals,organizations and governments bating(打击)child labor is a complex task.It involves social workers who identify child laborers and take action to provide these children and their families with other51.But it also involves change in communities as a whole,52the social regulations that can lead adults to make their children work.Child labor and poverty often go hand in hand as parents feel removing their children from school is necessary to earn money for their survival.So,measures meant to fight53are also tied to preventing child labor.Ensuring that children have quality educational opportunities is also important.If more opportunities were 54,more parents might give up the immediate benefit of a child's paycheck to give that child an education.Child labor is harmful to children and to communities,since it prevents children from growing into healthy, educated citizens who could make a(n)55in society.By highlighting the problem and offering a variety of solutions,the World Day Against Child Labor can make the situation a bit better.41.A.In addition B.As a result C.Above all D.After all42.A.recognize B.discover C.choose D.consider43.A.Nevertheless B.Therefore C.Overall D.Moreover44.A.distinguished B.transferred C.ranged D.evolved45.A.evaluated B.classified bined D.separated46.A.sincerely B.negatively C.positively D.morally47.A.chemicals B.lights C.wastes D.gases48.A.harm B.pollution C.exposure D.danger49.A.value B.awareness C.status D.significance50.A.take place B.take care C.take over D.take action51.A.options B.questions C.elements D.examples52.A.promoting B.urging C.challenging D.adjusting53.A.disease B.disaster C.survival D.poverty54.A.available B.sustainable C.accessible D.advisable55.A.choice B.difference C.effort D.decisionSection BDirections:Read the following four passages.Each passage is followed by several questions.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)During the Second World War,Dr.William Walsh served on a U.S.Navy ship in the South Pacific.While serving there,Walsh observed the poor health conditions in which the people of the South Pacific lived.After the war ended in1945,Walsh founded an organization called Project Hope.Its goal was to bring health education and care to people in poor countries around the world.In1958,Walsh convinced U.S.President Eisenhower to allow Project Hope to rent a U.S.Navy hospital ship for just one dollar a year.Many companies and ordinary people donated money to Project Hope.The organization used the funds to turn the navy ship into a civilian hospital ship called the SS Hope.During the next14years,the SS Hope traveled to every region of the world.Wherever it went,it provided health care for needy people and helped poor countries establish their own health care systems.In1974,the SS Hope was retired from service,and Project Hope began to provide health care on land instead.The story of the SS Hope inspired Don and Deyon Stephens to buy a passenger ship in1978and transform it into another hospital ship.Since then,their organization,called Mercy Ships,has sent ships equipped with medical supplies and hospital beds around the world.Doctors volunteer to travel on these vessels or ships and perform free surgeries on people who need them.They can correct people's vision,straighten bent limbs,remove facial tumors(肿块)and more.Mercy Ships also provides medical equipment for local health clinics and builds medical facilities. In addition,it teaches local people how to farm their land more effectively and more sustainably.56.What happened to the SS Hope in1974?A.It sank unexpectedly.B.It was fully repaired.C.It launched new services.D.It ceased operations.57.Who gave Walsh permission to use a ship for one dollar?A.An entertainer in America.B.Two American accountants.C.An America's top politician.D.Smart American investors.58.What does the article indicate about surgeries on Mercy Ships'vessels?A.They put physicians and nurses at risk.B.They're done at no charge to patients.C.They mainly benefit wealthy individuals.D.They've resulted in serious infections.59.According to this article,what do local people learn to do with the aid of Mercy Ships?A.Make a good living from tourism.B.Grow crops with greater success.C.Manufacture popular electronics.D.Establish education institutions.(B)From:Bridget Pecolini<*************************>To:Anson Wong<*********************>Re:Questions about online math contestDate:June18,2023Dear Mr.Wong,Thank you for your email.We're so glad your children are signed up to participate in our math contest.I hope it will be a rewarding and enriching experience for them.You can access the training session and practice tests by logging into our website at .Once you're signed in,you will see several tabs on the left-hand side.One of them will say"Enrolled."If you click on the drop-down menu there,you'll find the names of the children you registered.If you click on each name,you'll be given the option of joining a training session or doing practice tests.I hope that answers your question!Please let me know if you need any further help.Sincerely,Bridget Pecolini60.What can Gary do at the beginning of August?A.He can take a class to learn how to succeed.B.He can do the contests from two years ago.C.He can contact the contest organizers.D.He can try the most recent practice contest.61.Why did Bridget contact Anson?A.She was checking in on him.B.She was responding to his email.C.She was looking for information.D.She was asking him to pay.62.When does the official contest take place?A.It takes place on June18.B.It takes place on August7.C.It takes place on August12.D.It takes place on August14.(C)You constantly find yourself apologizing to a friend when you've done nothing wrong.You feel you must obey someone's demands,or they will be upset with you or even harm you or themselves.An unclear or specific threat is made that causes you to fear that someone will reveal a secret or weakness,so you do what that person wants.Or perhaps a relative is trying to make you feel obliged to do something by saying,"That's what friends or family do for each other."They arouse feelings of guilt in you for not meeting their needs.If you have had experience with any of these cases,then you are the victim of emotional blackmail(勒索). This style of handle controls you through your emotions.Fear,obligation and guilt-FOG-are used by an emotional blackmailer to get what they want from people.Anyone-a friend,colleague,parent,partner or other family members-could be that person.Their demands are intended to control their victim's behavior in unhealthy methods.Intentional or unintentional,if your needs are always brushed aside in favor of the other person's,things need to change.Dr.Susan Forward identifies six stages in emotional blackmail.Implied or obvious demands come first."I don't think you should do things with that person.They're not good for you."After this kind of statement,the ball is in the victim's court,so stage two is resistance.The victim often avoids the blackmailer or suggests alternatives instead of saying no.Stage three is persistent pressure by the blackmailer:"If we were really friends,you'd do it." Stage four involves threats:"If you don't do this...then I will..."The victim doesn't want the blackmailer to make good on their threats,so obedience,which is stage five,often leaves the victim feeling guilty or resentful.In stage six the blackmailer backs off until the next demand.What can you do?First,recognize if you are being pressured,threatened or controlled.Stay calm,and stop so you can consider other possibilities.Identify your triggers;don't be pressured into an immediate response.Offer a compromise(妥协).Tell the blackmailer how you feel,and give them a chance to acknowledge their behavior and change.If they won't,walk away from the relationship.Under no circumstances should you let your fears be used against you.63.According to the passage,emotional blackmail means______.A.a kind of emotion that can be mailed to others onlineB.a kind of action to influence others by means of emotionC.a colour that can greatly influence others'emotionD.a situation where emotion can be stored and given out freely64.What is the purpose of using Dr.Susan Forward's six stages in emotional blackmail?A.To illustrate the process of emotional blackmail.B.To explain the origin of emotional blackmail.C.To prove the existence of emotional blackmail.D.To demonstrate the theory of emotional blackmail.65.The word resentful in the last paragraph but one most probably means______.A.amazedB.frightenedC.indifferentD.angry66.We can conclude from the passage that______.A.wherever you are,it is impossible to avoid emotional blackmail in lifeB.whenever you're emotionally blackmailed,just let it be with no responseC.it's an advisable way to give a proper response when emotionally blackmailedD.it's a correct response to sincerely negotiate with emotional blackmailer thenSection CDirections:Read the following passage.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.But this technology can be dangerous as well.B.You just need to have some experience with technology as well as a proper computer.C.Therefore,AI technology will be used more and more wildly in the future.D.AI text-to-image generators will become as common and easy to use as Google image search.E.Rather,it will categorize every possible detail.F.Meanwhile,the generator can help people to recognize various information accurately.Have you ever wondered what you would look like as a cartoon character or a marvel superhero?With the power of artificial intelligence(AI)text-to-image generators,you can create images just like that-without any art skills.67How does it work?AI text-to-image generators are trained through a process called machine learning.In this process,the generator's"brain"is fed massive numbers of images and learns to distinguish what they are.But the generator doesn't just learn to tell the difference between a banana and a balloon.68These pixel-level details are then stored in a mathematical space.When someone gives the generator a text passage such as"Doraemon riding a white horse,"the program uses algorithms(算法)to"think." Moments later,the program will create an entirely unique image that you requested.Some artists worry that they are being replaced by this technology.But other artists like to cooperate with the generator,using its power for ideas and inspiration.This powerful tool is now available to anyone through generators like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E.You can use them to create all kinds of imaginative images.69The dark sideGenerators like Stable Diffusion are trained using images that are gathered from all over the internet.But the training process doesn't exclude(排除)images that are violent or inappropriate,so the generators"learn"those as well.The DALL-E program comes with built-in filters that prevent it from generating perverse(变态的)images. But Stable Diffusion is an open-source technology,meaning that people can modify its code and remove the content filters.Despite this,Stable Diffusion's founder Emad Mostaque remains optimistic about how people will use his generator.He says,"The bad stuff that people create...will be a very,very small percentage of the total use."For better or for worse,70But don't generate anything you'd be ashamed to show your mother!IV.Summary Writing71.Directions: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.Do you have a favorite podcast?That can be a difficult question to answer for some as there are so many options.That is because the world is full of interesting topics and thoughts about them.If you feel you have something engaging and valuable to share,start a podcast.A podcast is a series of audio episodes that cover a particular subject.The first step to creating a podcast is to find your topic.It's believed that the best topics are ones that you know a lot about and love.Another important step is to make sure you have the right equipment.While podcast equipment can be complex and expensive,it doesn't have to be.For your first podcast,you can simply rely on your phone and computer.You can record all of your audio on your phone.Then with your computer-and the right software-you can mix the audio.This is the process of putting your audio together into one perfect-sounding file.After you have your topic and equipment,you'll want to choose your format.Your podcast could be one person speaking,two people talking,or many people offering their opinions.Your podcast could also include more than one of these options.Once you've decided,you can start drafting your episodes.However,whatever format or formats you choose, maintain the same structure for each episode.The next step is to find a quiet place and do your recording.When you've completed your recording and audio mixing,you'll need to find a platform for your podcast. Luckily there are plenty of free and paid platform options on which to upload your podcast.Before uploading, make sure you have an interesting title and good tags for your show.Be sure to post about your show on social media.Get your podcast listed in a podcast directory,too.You want to get the word out about your podcast to grow your audience.Your podcast just might become someone's new favorite.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the word given in the brackets.72.坦白说,你昨天在会上表达的观点还是有争议的。

It’s a great event for first-timers because everyone is cheered on with enthusiasm no matter how long it takes to cross the finish line. The time limit for the full marathon is now at a pace of minutes per mile, or 6 hours and 33 minutes, but in the past it had an open time limit. They promise you’ll still receive your medal if you fall behind the pace, but you have to finish using the sidewalks.TCS New York City MarathonAs the world’s biggest marathon, the TCS New York City Marathon attracts over 50,000 people to the Big Apple each November. The time limit is generous eight and a half hours, but participants must move to the sidewalk if they drop below 15-minute mile.The famous course snakes through five boroughs (行政区) of the city and crosses five bridges to end in Central Park.Honolulo MarathonThe marathon attracts over 30,000 participants each December. The race starts on Ala Moana Boulevard in downtown Honolulu and snakes its way along the breathtaking Hawaiian coastline to the finish line in Kapiolani Park. The start time is at 5: 00 am with finish line services officially open until 2: 00 pm. However, the organizers allow everyone to finish and have waiters on hand until 4: 00 pm.Boston MarathonThe marathon is held in May every year. For this event running isn’t allowed as the city streets aren’t closed off. Participants must instead make their way along sidewalks under the guidance of event organizers and city police. The event attracts over 8,000 people who can choose anything from three-mile walk to the full 26.2-mile Boston Marathon route.1.Where is a new marathon runner most likely to receive enthusiastic cheers?A.In Portland.B.In New York.C.In Honolulu.D.In Boston.2.What can we know about TCS New York City Marathon?A.It is extremely popular.B.It has an open time limit.C.It starts and ends in a park.D.It forbids using the sidewalk.3.Which marathon is held the earliest in a year?A.Portland Marathon.B.TCS New York City Marathon.C.Boston Marathon.D.Honolulu Marathon.BThe health benefits of staying active are already well-known. It can help you manage weight, keep blood sugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.Now, a new study suggests that regularly playing sports, especially badminton or tennis, is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death, at any age, by approximately 50%. This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate. The study evaluated responses from 80, 306 adults aged 30 and above inEnglandandScotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besidesthe named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didn’t. The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be: 47% for racket(球拍)sports, 28% for swimming and 15% for cycling.In addition to this, the study didn’t find any significant reduction in the risk for sports like running and football. The findings also exposed that over 44% of the participants met the guidelines for the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy, which amounts to 150 minutes of moderate(适度的) physical activity in a week.Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead? Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.Being active helps you feel happier and live longer. So, the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term.4. How is the study conducted?A. By doing comparative experiments.B. By analyzing previous data.C. By evaluating survey information.D. By tracking participants for a long time.5. What does the underlined part “the named sports” refer to?A. Ball sports.B. Racket sports.C. Individual sports.D. Traditional sports.6. What can we infer from paragraph 5?A. Few people will play football.B. Tennis will become more popular.C. The result of this study is wrong.D. The study needs to be further improved.7. What does the author advise people to do?A. Stick to any sport that you like.B. Play badminton and tennis only.C. Stop running and playing football.D. Do any sport according to guidelines.CJules Verne was born on 8 February1828 inthe French city of Nantes. From an early age, he had a fascination with exploration and discovery. When he was six, his teacher, Madame Sambin, told him stories about her husband, who disappeared while traveling the world on a ship 30 years before. She told her class that he was like Robinson Crusoe, a fictional castaway who lived on a desert island. Verne would later write stories about similar characters.In 1847, Verne was sent by his family to study law at a university in Paris, but he preferred to write novels, poems and plays. After graduating, he realized he wanted to write adventure stories based on science and technology.Thishad never been done before, but Verne was sure that it would be a success. His first story, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was published in September 1862. His career lasted for more than 40 years, during which time he wrote more than 60 gripping stories.To begin with, Verne wrote positive and optimistic books. Many of these were to be his most popular creations. Although some included fantastical elements, they were usually based in scientific fact, making them believable. These happy stories weren’t to last. As he got older, Verne became less confident in the idea that science and technology were always good for the planet. His books started to include more scientists who used technology for their own-sometimes evil - purposes. Verne died on 24 March 1905, but new books continued to be published until 1919. These stories were based on ideas Verne had written about while he was still alive, but featured new characters and plots created by his son, Michel.In the 20th century, his books were translated into more than 140 languages and several successful film versions were released. His creations have been recognized as an inspiration for many scientists and inventors. Many of the futuristic ideas from his most popular books have since come true.8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?A To show Verne’s discovery.B. To offer the background information of Verne.C. To tell of the adventure of Sambin’s husband.D.

Criticism from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress canbe physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find faults in themselves.Coaches and parents should also pay attention that youth sport participation does not become work forchildren. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find faults with youngsters’ performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.12. An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is_____________.A. to make sport less competitiveB. to increase their sense of successC. to reduce their mental stressD. to make sport more challenging13. According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that_____________.A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it enables them to find faults in themselvesC. it can provide them with valuable experiencesD. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves14. Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes_____________.A. believing that criticism does good to their early developmentB. without realizing criticism may destroy their selfconfidenceC. in order to make them remember life’s lessonsD. so as to put more pressure on them15. According to the passage parents and coaches should_____________.A. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportB. help children to win every gameC. train children to cope with stressD. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sport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上海宝山高三英语一模试卷
考试六大应试技巧一、自我暗示、消除焦虑①自我暗示法。
用平时自己考试中曾有优异成绩来不断暗示自己:我是考生中的佼佼者;我一定能考得理想的成绩;我虽然有困难的题目,但别人不会做的题目也很多。
②决战决胜法。
视考场为考试的大敌,用过去因怯场而失败的教训鞭策自己决战决胜。
二、整体浏览,了解卷情拿到试卷后,在规定的地方写好姓名和准考证号后,先对试卷进行整体感知,看看这份试卷共多少页、总题量是多少、分哪几大部分、有哪几种题型。
这样不仅可以要防止试卷错误,尽早调换,避免不必要的损失;而且通过对全卷作的整体把握,能尽早定下作战方案。
重要的是初步了解下试卷的难易度,以便自己合理安排答题时间,避免会做的没有做,不会做的却浪费了时间的情况出现。
三、“两先两后”,合理安排①先易后难②先熟后生四、“一慢一快”,慢中求快一、书写速度应快,不慢慢吞吞。
二、书写的内容要简明扼要,不拖泥带水,噜嗦重复,尽量写出得分点就行了。
五、分段得分,每分必争对于会做的题目。
对会做的题目要解决对而不全的老大难问题,如果出现跳步往往就会造成丢分的情况,因此,答题过程一定规范,重要步骤不可遗漏,这就是分段得分。
对于不会做的题目,这里又分两种情况,一种是一大题分几小题的,一种是一大题只有一问的。
对于前者,我们的策略是“跳步解答”,第一小题答不出来,就把第一小题作为已知条件,用来解答第二小题,只要答得对,第二小题照样得分。
对于后者,我们的策略是“缺步解题”,能演算到什么程度就什么程度,不强求结论。
这样可以最大程度地得到分数。
六、重视检查环节如果自己的考试时间还有些充裕,那么根不可匆忙交卷,而应作耐心的复查。
将模棱两可的及未做的题目最后要进行检查、作答,特别是填空题、选择题不要留空白。

Preparing well for wild weatherC. Leaving wild creatures aloneD. Consuming a diet of wild plants(B)Science fiction paints a future where robots play animportant part in everyday life. A technology firm istrying to make that future a reality today with anaffordable robot called Artibo. Artibo is small. Its brain,or Al block, is a cube(立方体) that fits in your hand.That block connects to a motor block and two siliconwheels. Assembled, it’s about four inches tall.Artibo is much more than just a robot that you progra m to move around. Artibo’s designers want it to provide companionship and be a resource for learning coding. With its camera, microphone and connection to a cloud-based Al, it can respond to voice commands or function like a walkie-talkie(对讲机). It talks like a chatbot and can tell bedtime stories. It can even help you learn other languages!Artibo isn’t quite ready for stores yet, though.It’s part of a crowdfunding project. Crowdfunding is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people. Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project. Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it into production.Using computer code to program your own toys is nothing new. LEGO first released a robot kit in 1998. Since then, programmable robots have become one of the best-selling units in theLEGC product line. Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science, but anyone can program one using nothing more than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks.Code blocks allow you to program simple or complex commands by assembling visual blocks of code on the canvas(画布)of a computer screen.

One important reason is, of course, financial reward. If you own your own business and it becomes successful, you can reap huge financial rewards. And as an entrepreneur, dependent on how much your boss decides to give you; it’s limited only by the success of your business. And speaking of bosses, not having a supervisor is another major advantage of becoming anentrepreneur. Entrepreneurs are often independent thinkers who want to be in charge of projects, rather than having others tell them what to do. They often have big dreams that they want to pursue rather than making someone else’s dream come true. For many entrepreneurs, starting a business is a way of solving a problem or helping people receive something they need. It’s a way to change the world for the better.Being an entrep reneur isn’t easy, however, nor is it always fun. Entrepreneurs often have to work long hours, especially early on when they’re trying to get their businesses off the ground. Th at’s the reason entrepreneurs need to have a strong work ethic(伦理). Employees can work 40 hours a week and then stop, but for an entrepreneur, there’s no end in sight.That’s why another feature of successful entrepreneurs is passion; they have to be excited about what they’re doing to be willing to work hard for it. Entrepreneurs also need good communication skills to pass on that passion to others. That’s important for finding investors, getting people to buy products and attracting employees.Entrepreneurs also need to be creative people who are able to find solutions to problems they encounter. This is important from the very beginning, when the entrepreneur comes up with an initial concept of a business. But even after that initial step, creative thinking is continually necessary to adapt to changing situations and to solve problems that come up.V.

Soon,the Formula One cars will pull onto the starting point and the race will begin.Each of the cars in the Monaco Grand Prix is 43 , but all of them are fast and modern. The race course also 44 as being complex and difficult, with a frightening hairpin(发夹) turn along a very narrow street. 45 these streets at speeds over 150 kilometers per hour, drivers must take care. Even the slightest 46 could turn a multi-million dollar car into a pile of waste. The driver who claims first place receives an award and will go down 47 as one of the world’s finest drivers.Indianapolis 500On race day the grandstands (大看台) are filled with excitement as you enter the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Wild Track is an organization that aims to protect endangered animals like rhinos. They use a computer program that runs photos of animal tracks through an algorithm (演算法). Then the program makes the same observations as a tracker would, allowing scientists to know where individual animals go. However, the program itself needs “training”.It starts with collecting good photos of prints from endangered animals in captivity (圈养). As people send in photos of tracks from animals in the wild, the FIT program can compare it to tracks from animals it “knows.” As the program becomes more accurate, Wild Track hopes it will become a major tool for monitoring any endangered species.Anyone can help Wild Track by taking images of tracks and sending them to a partner organization called . The only tool you need is a digital camera or cellphone. After finding a clear track, place one ruler along the bottom of the footprint and another along the left side. Below the footprint, place a note containing your exact name and the date. Holding the camera or cellphone directly above the track, take a photo showing the footprint, rulers and note. Later, visit and follow the instructions on the site to send your photo.Wild Track needs photos of footprints made not only by animals in captivity but also those living in the wild. In wild places, you should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment. If you intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to you, then you should notgo there alone. Instead, go with someone who is familiar with the region and experienced at tracking.56. How does the writer begin this article about WildTrack?A. By discussing the software that it employsB. By praising its recent efforts to raise fundsC. By explaining how and when it was foundedD. By summarizing different opinions about it57. According to this article, which animals are WildTrack mainly interested in?A. Those which cause a threat to human settlementsB. Those which are now at risk of becoming extinctC. Those which have been illegally kept as petsD. Those which disappeared from the Earth long ago58. What does this article talk about in detail?A. A list of locations worth exploringB. A strategy for acquiring equipmentC. A warning not to engage in huntingD. A technique containing several steps59. What does the article suggest doing in wild areas?A. Admiring the wild landscapeB. Preparing well for wild weatherC. Leaving wild creatures aloneD. Consuming a diet of wild plants(B)Science fiction paints a future where robots playan important part in everyday life. A technology firmis trying to make that future a reality today with anaffordable robot called Artibo. Artibo is small. Itsbrain, or Al block, is a cube (立方体) that fits in your hand. That block connects to a motor block and two silicon wheels. Assembled, it’s about four inches tall.Artibo is much more than just a robot that you program to move around. Artibo’s designers want it to provide companionship and be a resource for learning coding. With its camera, microphone and connection to a cloud-based Al, it can respond to voice commands or function like a walkie-talkie (对讲机). It talks like a chatbot and can tell bedtime stories. It can even help you learn other languages!Artibo isn’t quite ready for stores yet, though.It’s part of a crowdfunding project. Crowdfunding is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people. Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project. Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it into production.Using computer code to program your own toys is nothing new. LEGO first released a robot kit in 1998. Since then, programmable robots have become one of the best-selling units in the LEGC product line. Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science, but anyone can program one using nothing more than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks.Code blocks allow you to program simple or complex commands by assembling visual blocks of code on the canvas (画布) of a computer screen. Just drag and drop a variety of code blocks from a programming menu, link them together, and watch how your robot responds. In Artibo’s case coding doesn’t stop there. Unlike other similar programmable toys, Artibo will also allo w you to write your own code. So as your familiarity with coding increases, you won’t lose interest in Artibo.60.According to the passage, the purpose of developing Artibo is ______.A.helping people learn anything they want and providing companionshipB.providing a robot that can move, accompany and help people learn codingC.chatting with people, telling bedtime stories and supplying languagesD.helping people raise money on line and creating programmable robots61.What can be concluded from the passage?A.Programming robots is not really complicated.B.Programming robots is advanced like a rocket.C.Programming robots can be used in smartphones.D.Programming robots used in toys is not new at all.62.The passage implies that ______.A.People can programme various orders even without code blocksB.Anyone can control Artibo freely unlike other programming toysC.The more familiar you’re with coding, the more you’ll like ArtiboD.Artibo is popular in the world especially among young people(C)5G, the fifth generation of wireless, promises lightning-fast download speeds and could lay the foundation for high-tech advancements like self-driving cars.

That’s important for finding investors, getting people to buy products and attracting employees.Entrepreneurs also need to be creative people who are able to find solutions to problems they encounter. This is important from the very beginning, when the entrepreneur comes up with an initial concept of a business. But even after that initial step, creative thinking is continually necessary to adapt to changing situations and to solve problems that come up.V.

How do you know whether you are fit? Under the Old Fitness, this question is answered by taking a few tests and comparing your performance to the standard. The New Fitness leaves every individual to arrive at his or her own answer, based on individual need, personal goals and different life styles.The New Fitness definition is less precise but more flexible: you are fit if you can work effectively at your normal task; if you have enough energy left at the end of the day to invest in leisure activities; and if you have the strength to stand an unexpected physical emergency like running a block to catch a bus, for instance, or rearranging all your furniture.By this definition, a healthy, physically fit accountant would not be in the same shape as a healthy, physically fit athlete. But there's no need to be.Fitness can be divided into three basic factors: endurance, strength and flexibility. Of the three, endurance is the factor that is most often used as the key indicator of fitness. And the exercises which build endurance have the greatest effect on your overall health.Questions:11. What is the new concept of fitness?12. What is the most important factor indicating fitness?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Most career organizations highlight three stages for graduates to follow in the process of securing a suitable career: recognizing abilities, matching these to available vacancies and presenting them well to employers.Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others.The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. After studying various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career. Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly. When additional information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, with examples if possible. When graduates are asked to attend an interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the employer. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.There will be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination; the secret to securing a good job is to be one of those people.Questions:14. What is the second stage for graduates to follow in seeking a suitable career?15. What is important for interviewees when attending an interview?16. What kind of people can secure a good job according to the passage?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.Dina: What are you doing, Roger?Roger: Hello, Dina.

Why would you share your life with people you don't know very well?Roger: Because it’s fun to interact with others.Dina: It's nice to connect with people, but how can you feel comfortable sharing personal photos with them? They may post rude comments.Roger: Sharing photos is a great way to become known to others. And most people will make nice comments.Dina: But why are you opening yourself up to that?
