They will also have certainty that they will be supported throughout their lifetime to achieve their personal goals.The NDIS will have an effect on the following programs.School Transport Assistance Program for Students with DisabilityThe NDIS will not disrupt existing services for qualified students. The Queensland Government will also continue to provide school transport assistance for students with disability who are not qualified to receive funding via the NDIS.For more information about the School Transport Assistance Program, and to check your qualification, visit the Education and Training website.Taxi Subsidy (补助金) SchemeThe Queensland Governmenthas lengthened the Taxi Subsidy Scheme (TSS) membership for NDIS qualified members to 31 October, 2022.

Current arrangements for this scheme will be maintained.You can find more information on this scheme, and check your qualification, on the Queensland Government website.Public Transport Concessions for People with DisabilityThere will be no change to concessions on public transport for people with disability when the NDIS isintroduced inQueensland. TransLink will continue to ensure concessions are provided for disabled persons travelling on public transport inQueenslandwhen the NDIS is introduced.You can find more information about public transport discounts for people with disability, and check your qualification, on the TransLink website,1.Which program helps drive the disabled to and from school?A.Taxi Subsidy Scheme.B.Disability Parking Permit Scheme.C.Public Transport Concessions for People with Disability.D.School Transport Assistance Program for Students with Disability.2.What can we learn about Taxi Subsidy Scheme?A.The scheme is for parking permit.B.The existing membership can be effective for longer time.C.There is no change to current arrangements for the scheme.D.The NDIS will not break off existing services for qualified students.3.What do the four programs have in common?A.They are all related to transport.B.They are all largely affected by NDIS.C.They all can be checked on the same website.D.They all provide discounts for disabled persons.BWho is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color1 or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published bySciencefound that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found thatgirls act on that belief:Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: ly not.Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”4. What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club?A. They're unfair.B. They're conservative.C. They're objective.D. They're strict.5. What can we infer about girls from the study inScience?A. They think themselves smart.B. They look up to great thinkers.C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs6. Why are more geniuses known to the public?A. Improved global communication.B. Less discrimination against women.C. Acceptance of victors' concepts.D. Changes in people's social positions.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Geniuses Think AlikeB. Genius Takes Many FormsC. Genius and IntelligenceD. Genius and LuckCOne billion people in the world are short of water. How can this problem be solved. Some suggestions have been to desalinate ocean water or to build enormous water pipelines from areas where water is abundant. (Suggestions such as these prove extremely expensive when they are actually used.) One possibility that scientists are considering is pulling icebergs from either the North Pole or the South Pole to parts of the world with a water shortage. Although many questions must be answered before such a project could be tried, moving icebergsseems a reasonable possibility in the future.Engineers, mathematicians, and glaciologists from a dozen countries have been considering the iceberg as a future source of water. Saudi Arabia is particularly interested in this project because it has a great water shortage. Scientists estimate that it would take 128 days to transport a large iceberg (about 1/2 square mile) to Saudi Arabia. Yet the iceberg would be completely melted by the 104th day. Therefore, insulation would be essential, but how to insulate the iceberg remains an unsolved problem.The problems in transporting an iceberg are numerous. The first problem is choosing the iceberg to pull. The icebergs that form in the North Pole are quite difficult to handle because of their shape. Only a small portion extends above the water — most of the iceberg is below the surface, which would make it difficult to pull. South Pole icebergs, on the other hand, are flat and float like table tops. Thus they would be much easier to move.How can a 200-million-ton iceberg be moved. No ship is strong enough to pull such enormous weight through the water. Perhaps several ships could be used. Attaching ropes to an iceberg this size is also an enormous problem. Engineers think that large nails or long metal rods could be driven into the ice. What would happen if the iceberg splits into several pieces during the pulling. Even if an iceberg with very few cracks were chosen, how could it be pulled through stormy waters. Furthermore, once the iceberg reached its destination, very few ports would be deep enough to store it.All of these problems must be solved before icebergs can become a reasonable source of water. Yet scientists estimate that it will be possible to transport them in the near future. Each year, enough icebergs form to supply the whole world with fresh water for a full year. In addition, icebergs are free and nonpolluting. As a solution to the world’s water problems, icebergs may be a workable possibility.8. What is a problem in transporting iceberg?A. The size of the iceberg.B. The colour of the iceberg.C. The salt in the iceberg.D. The movement of air and water.9. What is the author’ attitude towards transporting iceberg?A. Pessimistic.B. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. Unconcerned.10. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. It is hard to use iceberg.B. Iceberg are a good choice.C. There are problems with iceberg.D. Man finds no other ways to solve water shortage.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Shortage of water.B. Icebergs for water.C. Scientists and icebergs.D. Iceberg—scientists headache.DIt’s become an accepted part of keeping up to date with extended family and friends, but if schoolchildren were in their parents’ shoes, the majority wouldn’t share posts of their sons and daughters online. Over 55% said they would not upload news about, or images of, their children to their social media feeds, according to survey of over 16,000 pupils by Votes for Schools.While some were concerned about being embarrassed or the longevity of content which could remain online indefinitely, others expressed concern about their personal data beingcompromised. One of the pupils surveyed said, “Although our parents mean well, sometimes theconsequenceof a post can be disastrous.”In response to thesurvey, children’s mental health charity Place2Be and law firm Mishcon de Reya have produced three films ahead of the Christmas holidays – the best period for parental oversharing.In one video, about safety online, 10-year-old Adavan said, “If you share anything with your family, you know who’s going to see it. But if you share it publicly, there are millions of people who can see your picture.”Joe Hancock, a security lead at Mishcon de Reya, encouraged parents to share wisely. “Simple steps, such as checking your privacy settings and asking others not to share content of your children on their accounts if they have not updated their privacy settings, are a good start. And, as we found out from the children during filming, having their permission is key,” he said.The study marks a shift away from the usual debate about teaching children to use the Internet safely. Sandra Davis, head of the law firm’s family department, said, “Children are the experts on the real and immediate impact of sharenting（晒娃）– the full extent of which we cannot know yet. We must ensure we listen to children and take their views into consideration now in order to avoid any unintendedconsequences further down the line.”12.What’s most pupils’ attitude towards sharing posts about children?A. Skeptical.B. Unconcerned.C. Tolerant.D. Unwilling.13.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Summarize the previous paragraph.B. Provide some advice for parents.C. Predict the consequence of sharing posts.D. Give reasons for the result of the survey.14.What should parents first pay attention to according to Joe Hancock?A. Safety.B. Consequence.C. Wisdom.D. Health.15.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Parents should take children’s opinions into account.B. Parents should teach children to use the Internet safely.C. Children must make sure to listen to their parents.D. Children should avoid unintended consequences of sharenting.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。

2023届河南省五市高三第二次联考（二模）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解What do a teacher, a journalist, an artist, a pilot and a mathematics professor have in common? They all became famous British children’s writers.Enid BlytonThe teacher was Enid Blyton and she started writing in her spare time. Her stories were often about a group of children, and a dog, who visited a different part of the country in each book and had an adventure or solve a mystery — The Famous Five and The Secret Seven.AA MilneThe journalist AA Milne became famous for writing just two books, the first called Winnie-the-Pooh. There was only one child in his stories, who was actually based on his son, Christopher Robin, before he went to school. The other “people” were either animals or toys.Beatrix PotterArtist Beatrix Potter wrote her books about the animals she saw near her country home and she also drew all the pictures for the stories. She gave the animals names, and with the first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, she had the idea of selling a doll and a game too.Roald DahlRoald Dahl wrote about his adventures as a pilot, but his most popular stories happened to a boy or girl who met horrible children and adults, or strange animals. Dahl often gave his characters funny names, like Augustus Gloop in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.Lewis CarrollBut the maths professor wrote the strangest stories of all. Lewis Carroll’s two books are about a girl called Alice who meets unusual animals and people in a dream world. Adults enjoy the books as much as children, perhaps because Carroll loved to play with the meanings of words. An original copy of the first book sold for $ 1.5 million a century after it was first published.1．What was Enid Blyton doing when she began her writing career?A．She was looking after a dog.B．She was living in different parts of the country.C．She was working in a school.D．She was having an adventure.2．Which sentence is NOT true according to the passage? A．Beatrix Potter based her characters on local wildlife.B．The characters in Roald Dahl’s books often had funny names.C．Lewis Carroll’s first Alice book was first sold for $1. 5 million when published. D．Only one character in AA Milne’s stories was a person.3．Which writer may be the favorite for adults?A．Enid Blyton.B．Beatrix Potter.C．AA Milne.D．Lewis Carroll.Hawking was perhaps the most famous scientist in the world. But humor was always a big part of Hawking’s effort to bring physics to the masses. In his 2010 book, The Grand Design, for instance, he describes how, in 1277, the Catholic Church declared scientific laws such as gravity to be wrong, since they seemed against God’s idea. “Interestingly,” the text adds puckishly, “Pope (教皇) John was killed by the effects of the law of gravity a few months later when the roof of his palace fell in on him.”Hawking was only 21 when he was diagnosed with the degenerative motor neuron disease — ALS (肌萎缩侧索硬化). For most people, the condition would have been a disaster. But Hawking rolled over adversity (困境) as if it were just a rock under his wheelchair. “Life would be tragic,” he once said, “if it weren’t funny.”So Hawking cracked jokes. There was the time when talk show host John Oliver asked him about parallel universes. “Does that mean there is a universe out there where I am smarter than you?” Oliver quipped. Hawking’s dry reply: “Yes. And also a universe where you’re funny.” Hawking liked physical humor too. He reportedly enjoyed wheeling his chair over the feet of people who annoyed him, including Prince Charles. “A malicious rumor,” Hawking said. “I’ll run over anyone who repeats it.”Hawking’s greatest hit, humor — wise, was probably the cocktail party he threw in 2009. It was a “welcome reception for future time travelers,” he said, so naturally he sent out the invitations the day after the party. No one showed up yet. “Maybe one day someone living in the future will find the information and use a wormhole time machine to come back to my party.” Hawking explained. After all, he never missed a chance to have fun.4．Why did Hawking mention Pope John in his book The Grand Design?A．Hawking had great doubts about the power of God.B．Hawking was happy that Pope John got the punishment he deserved.affected by light and do not work well at night, but LiDAR does depend on light.” Hesai says that, together with its long-range hybrid solid-state LiDAR AT128, the two sensors form a complete automotive grade LiDAR perception solution. As of now, the company has received preorders of the FT120 with 1 million units from top automotive OEMs and will begin deliveries in the second half of 2023.8．What can we learn about LiDAR from the passage?A．It can be used to create maps about the world.B．It can avoid objects and map the road environment.C．It guarantees the safety of car—making process.D．The mass production may be around the corner.9．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Automated driving.B．LiDAR technologies.C．Global market domination.D．The option of different Levels.10．Why does the author mention cameras in the last paragraph?A．To provide background information.B．To introduce the working principle of cameras.C．To highlight the advantages of LiDAR.D．To stress his preference for LiDAR.11．What might be the best title for the text? A．LiDAR Makes Fully Automated Driving a PossibilityB．Hesai Dominates the Global MarketC．The Promising Future of Fully Automated Driving Is Seen NowD．More Companies Are Developing LiDAR TechnologiesNew research suggests that one night of sleep with just a small amount of light may have negative effects on health.The small, 20—person study conducted by Dr. Phyllis Zee, director of the Center for Circadian (生理节奏的) and Sleep Medicine, was designed to measure the physiological effects of 100 lux (照度) of artificial light on healthy adults while they were sleeping. For the study, all the participants spent their first night sleeping in a mostly dark room. The next night, half of them slept in a better lit room. Meanwhile, the researchers ran tests on the sleepers: brainwaves, heart rates and blood. In the morning, they’d give both groups a large amount of sugar to see how well their systems responded to it.The group exposed to the light had raised heart rates throughout the night, and also had trouble getting their blood sugar into a normal range.These changes suggest a small amount of light was enough to shift the nervous system to a more excited and alert state. “It’s almost like the brain and the heart knew that the lights were on, although the individual was sleeping.” says Zee.While the findings of this study alone can’t, predict what would happen in the long term, Dr. Colwell suspects the harmful effects would be cumulative. “This was only one night, so imagine if you are living that way constantly?”“That’s going to increase the risk of long—term diseases,” says Dr. Charles Czeisler whose research has looked at the consequences of circadian rhythm sleep disorder for longer than just one night. He concluded that the unpleasant effects were primary because of the “internal clock” being disturbed—not necessarily because of the lack of sleep.This is not to say that the lack of sleep doesn’t also have negative effects on health’ it does —but he says it simply stresses the lasting consequences of being exposed to light at nighttime. “People think that as long as they fall asleep and are unconscious, it’s not having physiological effects, but that’s simply not true,” Czeisler says.12．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．The background of the study.B．The result of the study.C．The process of the study.D．The evaluation of the study.13．What can we infer from the new research?A．Light plays a critical role in regulating circadian rhythm.B．A small amount of light at night is linked with sleep depth.C．The lack of sleep leads to long-term sleep disorder.D．Sleeping with a little bit of light isn’t good for your health.14．What is the similarity between Zee’s and Czeisler’s views on the study?A．The more you sleep, the healthier you will be.B．Physiological effects exist even though people are sleeping with light on.C．Sleep quality lies in how you feel about the sleep in spite of light.D．It is the circadian rhythm sleep disorder that matters.15．Where does the passage probably come from?A．A health questionnaire.B．A science journal.C．A health story.D．A science fiction.三、完形填空32．A．pleasure B．calmness C．curiosity D．madness 33．A．stood up B．passed by C．bent over D．came across 34．A．reconsidered B．rethought C．reminded D．recalled 35．A．never B．often C．seldom D．sometimes 36．A．reacted B．happened C．referred D．meant 37．A．satisfied B．touched C．disappointed D．frustrated 38．A．forgot B．remembered C．claimed D．reflected 39．A．material B．abstract C．mental D．solid 40．A．kindness B．things C．ways D．care五、短文改错51．假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

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.8. 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.9. 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.10. 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.11. 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.DLas Vegascity inNevadais built in a desert. The city may be known to the outside world for its partying. But officials have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass. The grass is never laid on, played on or even stepped on. The grass is only there to look nice.Now, the city is asking theNevadastate legislature to ban useless grass. It is trying to become the first place inAmericato ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing developments and in office parks.It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass inLas Vegasand it needs a lot of water to survive. Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus. By tearing out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%.In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front of new homes. It also offered homeowners $ 30 for each square meter of grass they tear out. But fewer people are now using the program. Water usage has increased in southernNevadaby 9% since 2019. And last year,Las Vegaswent a record 240 days without major rainfall. The Colorado River provides much ofNevada's drinking water. The river could losemore water as climate change affects it.Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced. But they fear the reaction to reforms like the ones inLas Vegasif their communities do not accept them. Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city ofPhoenixinArizona. “There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe for some residents. They'll say that is the point of no return for them,”Campbellsaid. “For some people, it's a pool. For some people, it's grass.”12. Why doesLas Vegascity try to ban useless grass?A. To protect the local people.B. To beautify the city.C. To reduce water usage.D. To reduce waste.13. What program was carried out inLas Vegasin 2003?A. Allowing planting grass before new houses.B. Encouraging the residents to tear out grass.C. Praising those who signed on the program.D. Awarding those who reduced water usage.14. What is implied inCampbell's words in the last paragraph?A. Many residents won't follow the ban.B. Reaction to the reform will vary personally.C. Other measures should be taken to protect wetter.D. Water officials should take many factors into account.15. What is the best title for the text?s VegasPlans to Ban Useless GrassB. A Method Is Adopted to SaveLas VegasC. Choices between Beauty and PracticeD.

A young gaucho named Mateo struggles to break free from his family's dying way of life to become a writer.Then with some help,Mateo escapes to Buenos Aires.There,he meets Sofia,wh0 shakes his narrow-minded view of the world.As modernity takes shape,Mateo is torn between choices:his family or the one he could create,his culture or the movements of the world.Special NotesNo flash photography permitted.Please silence all electronic devices including mobile phone and watches,and avoid text messaging for the duration of the performance.Tickets &DetailsPerformances are free and open to the public;advance tickets required.If a performance is listed as sold out,a wait list will be formed at the door with a limited number of tickets available.AccessibilityThe Wallace Theater is an accessible venue with an assistive listening system.Guests in need of other access accommodations are invited to contact the Lewis Center at least one week in advance at21.Who worse the Gaucho:A New Musical?A.Guest artist Gia Gan.B.Two university students.C.Lecturer Nico Krell.D.Artists in the Wallace Theater.22.What is the theme of the musical?A.A romantic love story.B.A movement of culture.C The change of lifestyle.D.The immigration of a community.23.What are people required to do to watch the musical?A.Pay for performances in advance.B.Wait in line at the door of the theatre.C.Contact the Lewis Center for tickets.D.Switch off their electronic devices.BMy friend and I recently took an art class together through our town's community education program.Our classmates were a mix of ages,stages of life,and experience with making art.We stood out in the class—not for our artistic talent,but for our consistent encouragement of ourselves,each other,and the group.It got me thinking how encouragement had become a routine.It became something of a joke between the two of us to compliment(赞美)each other,offer a positive comment when another student showed his or her work,and generally chat around the table about how fun our project was going.But reflecting back,our positivist was anything but a joke.It was a bright light in my week,a space where I knew I could be surrounded with kindness,gentleness,and positivist.Here's the most special thing about it;my friend's and my positive conversation wasn't just encouraging,it was true,We didn't go for cheap or false compliments like,"This painting should be in a museum!”Instead,we went for authentic(真实的)expressions of support and encouragement,like,“I love how you did that cloud!”Over time,the class became something of a sacred space,because we had made a habit of using encouraging,supportive language.Sentence-starters like,"I like,""I appreciate,""I want to try,"kept us present,positive,and honest.The encouragement also kept us engaged in the work of making art.I feel sure that I learned more—and practiced more at home—because the activity was shown in such consistently positive terms,grounded in a growth mindset,self-acceptance,and encouragement.Having a friend to share an encouragement habit is fantastic,but you can practice it on your own as pliment yourself in the mirror every morning.Keep a running"great work. "list of thing? you are doing well today.Trust in your ability to find something loving—and true-to comment today and every day.24.What do we know about the author's classmates?A.They admired those talented in art.B.They didn't take art class seriously.C.They were of the same artistic level.D.They were on good terms in the class.25.How did the classmates turn their class into a sacred space?A.By showing false compliments to others.B.By decorating their class as a museum.C.By displaying abstract art works in the class.D.By offering supportive language around them.26.What did the author think of the art project?A.It made him hopeful and confident.B.It needed to provide more practice.C.It was cheap and easy to carry out.D.It promoted his communication skills.27.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A.To introduce a community education program.B.To call for good action to support those in needC.To describe how to make encouragement a habit.D.To comment on the power of authentic expressions.CPolar bears are icons of the Arctic.Detailed monitoring of their populations is crucial for their conservation—but because polar bears are so difficult to find,we are missing critical data about population size.Scientists have now developed a new tool to help:DNA analysis using skin cells left in the bears' footprints in the snow.The scientists were inspired by the techniques that can be applied to tiny,degraded DNA samples.With these techniques,it isn't necessary to physically capture bears,which can be stressful and dangerous for both bears and humans.Instead,the researchers can turn to the snow tracks of polar bears and look at sources of DNA left in passing—environmental DNA. "The tracks usually contain fresh cells,and the DNA is intact because of the cold' storage' temperature,"said Dr.Melanie Lancaster of the World Wide Fund,lead author.The scientists collected snow from individual tracks made by Alaskan polar bears in the wild. Additional materials like hair and saliva(唾液)were sampled,confirming that the tracks provided accurate genotype(基因型)24 wild polar bear tracks were sampled.The researchers melted and filtered the snow to collect environmental DNA,then carried out micro-satellite analysis.Although the concentrations (浓度)of DNA taken from trucks sampled in the wild were very low,13 of the wild polar bear samples could be genotype,identifying 12 different individuals.This technique has huge potential to inform conservation of these animals,to better understand their populations and behavior.Although the sampling has a lower success rate,ease of collection means that it can significantly expand sample sizes."We hope this method will be taken up by the polar bear research community,with the involvement of hunters,volunteers,and local communities,as a new way to collect information on polar bears,"said Lancaster."We also hope the method will be expanded to other animals living in snowy environments."28.Why do scientists develop the new method?A To improve the environment in the Aretic.B.To protect humans from the polar bears attack.C.To find solutions to global climate change.D.0To gather essential data for monitoring polar bears.29.What does the underlined word"intact"mean in paragraph 2?A.Unknown.B.Undamaged.C.Unusual.D.Unstable.30.What did the scientists do in the study?A.They tracked and caught polar bears in the wild.B.They recorded the bears' behaviors with cameras.They analyzed DNA from polar bears' snowy footprints.D.They compared the polar bears' genotype with other animals?.31.What is Lancaster's attitude toward the method?A.Disapproving.B.Favorable.C.Uncertain.D.Suspicious.DWhat do you see in the image?The image can be challenging tointerpret,and most people need a clue to see the pattern.It shows a Dalmatian dog.An interesting aspect of this experience is that once you've perceived the pattern,you can't unset the dog.Whether we like it or not,our brains look for patterns in various contexts.Much of our everyday understanding is linked to the concepts we lean in school and through interaction with others.On top of this,there are learned cultural patterns to interpret works of art,music,poems,etc.Once we know the patterns,they profoundly influence how we perceive cultural products.So we see the world through patterns we have acquired.These patterns can be applied in all forms of teaching.The great benefit of seeing a pattern in an area of knowledge is that it can be applied to new problems.A student who has understood a pattern can not only answer questions taken directly from the learning material but can use it in other types of tasks.The key question,therefore,is how a student can discover the relevant patterns and create real understanding.There are different ways to highlight patterns.Analogies(类比)are powerful tools for creating understanding.An example is the number line(数轴)in elementary mathematics. When children learn addition,it is easy for concrete combinations of objects:three apples plus two apples make five apples.The same is true for subtraction(减法):If you have six apples and remove four,you are left with two.But this doesn't work when it comes to negative numbers.How do you explain that if you have three apples and remove five,two are missing?Then,an effective analogy is to see the number line as something you walk along—the line becomes a path.Addition with three is like walking three steps forward,and subtraction with five is like walking five steps backward. No wonder that if you walk three steps forward and then five steps back,you are two steps behind where you started.In this way,the negative numbers acquire a meaning rooted in experience.More patterns of numbers can now be understood.32.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.The underlying effect of patterns.B.The ability to acquire the art skills.C.The way to find the Dalmatian dog.D.The benefit of interacting with others.33.Why should patterns be used in education?A.It is easy for students to master them.B.All types of tasks have the same pattern.C.They can help students solve new problems.D.They are the necessary learning materials.34.What does the example in paragraph 4 and paragraph 5 suggest?A.There are different ways to acquire experience.B.Analogies are good methods for teaching patterns.C.Addition is much easier than subtraction in maths.D.The number line can solve all mathematics problems.35.What is the best title of the text?A.Understanding Is Seeing a Pattern.B.The Best Principle for LearningC.Walking Back and Forth on a Number Line.ing Patterns to Learn Mathematics第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

I asked．“No! thank you," the lady replied．“This nice man says he can fix it．" At that moment, a voice from under the hood shouted, “OK, try it now! " The woman reached for the key and turned it．The engine started beautifully．The woman tried to give him some money, but he declined and waved as she drove off．It wasn't until we started walking toward our cars that I noticed he had five more reasons not to stop than I did: his family was sitting in the station wagon, waiting patiently．“Do you stop and help people like this often?" I asked．He shrugged．¨Somebody has to," he said．“What's she going to do if nobody helps?"

University of Bari in Italy could help vindicate （澄清）hospitals who are accused of wasting money on art and decor as it suggests a pleasant environment helps patients overcome discomfort and pain．A team headed by Professor Marina de Tommaso at the Neurophysiopathology Pain Unit asked a group of men and women to pick the 20 paintings they considered most ugly and most beautiful from a selection of 300 works by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli．They were then asked to watch either the beautiful paintings, or the ugly paintings, or a blank panel while the team zapped a short laser pulse at their hand, creating a sensation as if they had been pricked by a pin．The subjects rated the pain as being a third less intense while they were viewing the beautiful paintings, compared with when considering the ugly paintings or the blank panel．Electrodes measuring the brain's electrical activity also confirmed a reduced response to the pain when the subject looked at beautiful paintings．While distractions, such as music, are known to reduce pain in hospital patients, Prof de Tommaso says this is the first result to show that beauty plays a part．The findings, reported in New Scientist, also go a long way to show that beautiful surroundings could aid the healing process．"Hospitals have been designed to be functional, but we think that their aesthetic aspects should be taken into account too," said the neurologist．"Beauty obviously offers a distraction that ugly paintings do not．But at least there is no suggestion that ugly surroundings make the pain worse．I think these results show that more research is needed into the how a beautiful environment can alleviate suffering．"Pictures they liked included Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and Botticellis' Birth of Venus．Pictures they found ugly included works by Pablo Picasso, the Italian 20th century artist Anonio Bueno and Columbian Fernando Botero．"These people were not art experts so some of the pictures they found ugly would be considered masterpieces by the art world," said Prof de Tommaso．66．According to the first paragraph, people didn't approve_____．A．hospitals spend money on medical equipmentB．hospitals decorate their rooms with works of artC．hospitals make their environment pleasant to patientsD．hospitals treat their patients with works of art67．How did the researchers make the research?A．By asking the subjects to listen to music．B．By requiring the subjects to draw paintings．C．By ordering the subjects to choose which picture is beautiful and ugly．D．By aching the subjects' hands while they are watching paintings．68．According to the research, when designing a hospital, we should consider its _____．A．beautiful environment B．functional operating roomC．convenient facilities D．bright waiting room69．Whose paintings are most popular with the subjects?A．Anonio Bueno．B．Pablo Picasso．C．Vincent Van Gogh．D．Columbian Fernando Botero．70．The best title for the passage may be _____．A．Patients Don't Like Ugly PicturesB．Beautiful Art Can Ease PainC．Arts Can Be Used As a MedicineD．Ugly Patients Feel Less PainPart ⅣWriting （45 marks）Section A （10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Air pollution refers to the introduction of some harmful gases and particulate matter （颗粒物质）in the Earth's atmosphere which in turn results in pollution of air that the various forms of life require for various life processes．There exist natural causes of air pollution such as volcanic eruptions, wildfires, etc．as well as human causes such as vehicle emissions, industrial smoke, etc．Over the last few decades, the air pollution caused by humans has become a lot more serious and common than natural air pollution．Air pollution affects all forms of life including humans, plants and animals on the planet．Along with humans, animals are dependent on oxygen in the air．When polluted air is inhaled （吸入）for breathing oxygen, several harmful gases are also inhaled along with this life-saving gas．These harmful gases are believed to affect animals in the same manner in which they affect humans．Experts also suggest that the particulate matter the animals inhale over a long period can gather in their tissues and cause damage to their organs in the long run．In addition to inhaling the harmful contaminants （污染物）directly, animals can also come in contact with these contaminants from the food they eat and absorb them through their skin．Some studies do show that the effects of air pollution on animal species are much more serious than they are on us humans．The rapid rate at which air pollution is occurring is not even giving the animals a chance to adapt to the changes in the environment．In the long term, these effects are likely to result in extinction （灭绝）of species, which will indirectly add to our danger because we along with all these animals form the ecological environment where all species depend on each other．Therefore, all of us are supposed to make an effort to reduce air pollution．Air pollution and animalsI．71．____________ of

according to the information given in the passage．Almost a third of children regularly go without breakfast before school and are more likely than classmates to be inactive, unfit and obese, research shows．While 68% of pupils eat before leaving home, 32% don't．Of the latter, 25% only sometimes have a morning meal and 7% never have breakfast on school days, according to findings which have raised fresh concern about children's eating habits and general health．The study of 4,326 children, aged 10－16, in England was reported that 26．6% of boys and 38．6% of girls skipped breakfast some or all of the time．Boys often blame lack of time, while many girls missed breakfast because they believe doing so would help them lose weight．"We found that children who skip breakfast either occasionally or regularly are less fit, less active and more likely to be overweight or obese than those who always eat breakfast," said lead author Dr Gavin Sandercock, a lecturer at the University of Essex．"Children with the healthiest weight were always those who regularly had breakfast before heading to school．These findings are worrying because we found more obesity and lower levels of physical activity among skippers, which is of great concern because these children are more likely to develop chronic diseases in adulthood like cancer, heart disease and diabetes．""While girls who skipped breakfast are 92% more likely to become obese than female classmates who regularly eat before school, the equivalent figure in boys was 62%．But the boys were much more likely than female ones to have a sedentary （久坐的）lifestyle and, critically, have poor heart and lung fitness," added Sandercock．Until now it has been thought that children who missed breakfast were more likely to be obese because they snacked during the day and ate late at night．But the study suggests that their inactive lifestyles may also play a key role．81．What are the negative effects of skipping breakfast regularly? （No more than 6 words）82．Why are the researchers concerned about children's eating habits? （No more than 12 words）83．Please list at least three reasons for children's weight problem．（No more than 10 words）84．What's the purpose of the text? （No more than 10 words）Section C （25 marks）Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese·“正能量”一词倍受关注，社会呼唤正能量。

2021届济南市第三中学高三英语第二次联考试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AObesity (肥胖症) is becoming a problem in our busy society, and almost one in three American adults is now considered to be obese. 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.

At the click of a keyboard) you could enter an overall view but private visual salon, without having to brave the airless Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.There, on one webpage, was Jeff Koons riffing(翻唱)on Botticelli's "Primavera" in a tribute to the history of painting at David Zwirner Gallery. Ota Fine Arts offered one collector the chance to acquire an "infinity(无限)room“, one of the most Instagrammed artworks of recent years- the creation of the fantasies,nonagenarian (九十多岁) Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama. White Cube presented a large collection of international works by Andreas Gursky (German), Theaster Gates (American) and Beatriz Milhazes (Brazilian). But not every artist, gallery and form showed to equal advantage in this alternative fair. Not surprisingly, simple two-dimensional works in bright colours came across best No sculpture or conceptual art was includedBesides depth and texture, there are aspects of gallery hopping that a website is unlikely to copy. One isserendipity—the sense of wandering between artworks and encountering the unexpected. Another is sociability. Art is a communion between artist and viewer, but galleries and fairs are also places to swap opinions and share enthusiasms.Thereare ways to compensate (or these inevitable(不可避免的)disadvantages. As they shut their physical doors, some of the world's nest galleries and museums are offering advanced interactive visits, 360 degree videos and walk around tours of their collections, allwithout queues and high ticket prices. One of the best is laid on by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam；its tour allows visitors to view its Vermeers and Rembrandts, including the magnicent "Night Watch”, far more closely than would normally he possible. Another standout offering is from the Museu de Arte de SPaulo, which has an even broader collection. On its virtual platform, its pain tings, spanning 700 years, appear to be hanging in an open-plan space, seemingly hung on glass panels, or "crystal easels” as the. museum calls them, ideal for close-up inspection,4. From the paragraph 3, we may knowA. "Primavera" was originally painted by JeKoonsB.“innity room” was the most popular artworks of recent years on social mediaC. White Cube displayed a great many works by artists from different nationsD. Various paintings and statues showed on the webpage are well-received5. What does the underlined word "serendipity" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. surpriseB. treasureC. expectationD. compromise6. What is the purpose of writing the last paragraph?A.To introduce some popular art show in the world.B. To show that there are some alternative ways to promote the display during covid-19 epidemic.C. To prove that paintings hung on glass panels can be idealfor close-up inspection,D. To release some information about some extraordinary art shows.7. What is the best title?A. Art beyond the internet.B. Fascinating art.C. Art under covid-19.D. gallery hoppingCI don’t think I can recall a time whenI wasn’t aware of the beauty of the ocean. Growing up inAustralia, I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side. The first time I went toHalfmoonBay,I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.For my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken out to theGreat Barrier Reef. There were fish in different color1 s, caves and layers of coral. They made such an impression on me. When I learned that only one percent ofAustralia’sCoral Seawas protected, I was shocked. Australian marine (海洋的) life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth. But sadly, only 45% of the world’s reefs are considered healthy.This statistic is depressing, so it’s important for usto do everything to protect them.
