2023届山东省泰安市高三下学期三模英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Let’s take a look at these traditional events in the UK.World Gurning ChampionshipsGurning is a British word meaning to pull a funny facial expression. The World Gurning Championships sets out to crown(加冕) a contestant who can pull the strangest face of all. The contest takes place every year in Egremont, Cumbria, as part of the town’s Crab Fair, which dates back to 1267.Nettle eating contestHosted by the Bottle Inn pub in Marsh wood, Dorset every year, this 20-year-old nettle eating contest sees dozens of competitors take part in eating as many nettle stalks(荨麻茎) as possible within one hour. Winners normally eat around 70ft of nettle stalks!Whittlesea Straw Bear FestivalEvery January, the Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival takes place, which dates back more than 200 years. The strange festival consists of a performer wearing a five-stone metal and straw bear costume, while parading through the town streets with a group of Appalachian and Morris dancers.Wife carrying raceIf you think your husband is strong enough to carry you in a race, then you may be in with a chance of winning this odd tradition, held in Dorking, Surrey every March. The sport actually originates from the Viking invasion(入侵) of 793 AD．The tradition wasn’t revived in the UK until 2008, but now comes with a friendlier feel. The winner receives £100, while the carrier of the heaviest wife is given a pound of sausage.1．What do we know about World Gurning Championships?A．It was briefly banned.B．It is part of another activity.C．It attracts funny-looking players.D．It originates from an English word. 2．Which event has the longest history?A．Wife carrying race.B．Nettle eating contest.C．Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival.D．World Gurning Championships. 3．What do the listed events have in common?A．They are held in the wild.B．They are yearly events.C．They are invented by farmers.D．They’re only for strong players.Liam Gamer was just 17 years old when he started out on his big adventure — a32,000-kilometer bike trip from Alaska to Argentina. In early January, 2023, he finally finished his trip, 17 months after he started.Liam, an experienced cyclist, had previously ridden from Los Angeles to San Francisco. He made short videos of that trip, and shared them on the social media app TikTok, some of which became quite popular. After reading a book by adventurer Jedidiah Jenkins, who biked from Oregon to Argentina, Liam decided to cycle from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, the northernmost point in the United States accessible by road, to Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost point of South America.Liam set out on August 1, 2021. At first Liam’s parents weren’t too happy about him taking such a long bike trip by himself though it wouldn’t take that much money. But as he carried on, his parents became his strongest supporters.After about three months, Liam had crossed the US, going south along the West Coast. By early December, he had reached Mexico, from which his parents came to the US many years ago. “So crossing the entire country on a bike and reconnecting with my culture and learning the language in the place my family is from is so deeply important to me,” Liam explained emotionally. But Liam also faced challenges in Mexico.He was robbed in Mexico, and at one point, he considered quitting because the incredible heat made biking extremely difficult. In all, he was robbed five times on the trip. He got very sick more than once. In Colombia, he had a bike accident that left him injured and required surgery. In spite of it all, he kept going through rain, sun, heat, cold, deserts and mountains.Liam finally arrived in his destination on January 10, 2023 — 527 days after he started. He had travelled through 14 countries along the way.4．What contributed to Liam’s decision to bike through 14 countries?A．His previous related experiences.B．His parents’ encouragement.C．A desire to shoot short videos.D．A book by Jedidiah Jenkins.5．Why did Liam feel special in Mexico?A．He went there for the first time.B．He found his family tree’s roots.C．He biked there as scheduled.D．He had to speak another language. 6．What can we say about Liam’s bike trip from Alaska to Argentina?A．It’s eventful.B．It’s pleasant.C．It’s costly.D．It’s romantic. 7．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To inspire our love for nature.B．To promote low-carbon travel.C．To encourage us to see our strengths.D．To call on us to learn a kind of spirit.Europe’s ski resorts (胜地) haven’t been getting enough snow.Amedeo Reale is president of Sci Club 18, in Cortina d’Ampezzo, a town in Italy’s Dolomite Mountains. In 2026, the area will host the Women’s Winter Olympics downhill skiing events. “The only thing we are scared of is having one or two months of hot weather,” Reale says. “But in Cortina d’Ampezzo, I don’t think there is any problem.” At more than 5,000 feet above sea level, the slopes (坡) stay cold enough for artificial snow.But other parts of Italy are not so lucky. They’ve been getting a taste of a much warmer future. The only plan for saving Italy’s ski industry is to use artificial snow as much as possible, says Rolando Galli, who runs a ski lift in there sort of Abetone, in Italy. It has done more than $2 million less business this season because of the lack of snow. Even if there’s snow for the rest of the season, Galli says, there’s no way to make up for this year’s lost income. He ran the lifts without snow, just for the views, but not many tourists showed up.The changing weather is making it hard to find the right conditions for winter-sports competitions. Promoting summertime sports is probably a good business strategy. The government and mountain towns should invest in lakes. In summer, these could be tourist destinations-for fishing, boating, and sightseeing. They might also provide water to fight bush fires. Clinate change is something that we have to face. We can’t just put our heads in the ground and ignore it.Since 1924, 21 cities have hosted the Winter Olympies. The first was Chamonix, France. If global temperatures continue rising at the current rate, only four of those places will have conditions appropriate for competition by 2050. That’s the prediction of a recent scientific report. Cortina d’ Ampezzo, in Italy, would be rated “unacceptable”, the report says. Only Sapporo, Japan, is considered a reliable bet for the 2078 or 2082 games.calculations, the vibration felt by passengers during a400 km/h trip will be 5% higher than at present. That might seem like a small difference, but it can increase the wavelength of the vibrations felt along the train by 15%. If not effectively controlled, this can make passengers uncomfortable during the journey, even unsafe. Research shows that lifting sleepers by just a few millimeters can resist this impact.Trains with different speeds can operate on the same track, but each speed setting requires different sleepers. Existing Chinese safety standards allow only an error of one millimeter when adjusting the sleepers. China has more than 40,000 km of high-speed railways in operation. To make them all suitable for 400 km/h trains will be a difficult task. However, it’s necessary to find a solution soon because according to the government’s 5-year plan, the new generation of high-speed train, the CR450, will be completed and put into operation in less than 3years.12．What does the underlined phrase “get complacent” mean in paragraph 2? A．Convenient.B．Successful.C．Respected.D．Satisfied. 13．What is paragraph 4 mainly talking about?A．The way wheels and tracks interact.B．The effect of vibration on passengers.C．The difficulty in adjusting the sleepers.D．The reason why existing sleepers should be lifted.14．What can we know about China’s existing high-speed railways?A．Their sleepers need adjusting all the time.B．The more these railways are built, the better.C．Enough of them will be in use in three years.D．It’s hard to make 400 km/h trains run on all of them.15．What’s the best title for the text?A．China Develops 400 km/h Bullet TrainB．China’s Trains Care More for PassengersC．China’s CR450s Replace Other TrainsD．China Focuses on Railway Technology二、七选五三、完形填空五、其他应用文46．假定你班最近选出了“班级之星”(Class Star)李华，请你向校英文报“我们的榜样”栏目写篇报道，内容包括：1.感人事迹；2.你的感想。

浦东新区高三英语综合练习卷（三模）2024. 5第一卷Ⅰ. Listening Comprehension (略)II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20分)Section ADirections:After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word: for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.In the fall of 1903, O. Henry was living in a room at the small Hotel Marty in New York City. He had published a few stories in local magazines, but was still relatively unknown when editors at the New York World newspaper sent a young reporter (21)__________ (track) down this mysterious writer. By the next day, O. Henry had an agreement with the newspaper to write one story a week for the magazine section of their Sunday edition. The World had (22)__________ (large) daily circulation in the world, and O. Henry’s stories about New York life became immensely popular. By the time he left the newspaper after less than three years, O. Henry had established his reputation (23)__________ a gifted storyteller and master of surprise endings.O. Henry was the pen name used by William Sydney Porter, who was born in North Carolina. At the age of twenty, he moved to Texas. (24)__________ he held a variety of jobs, eventually becoming a bank teller. He married and became a reporter and columnist for the Houston Post. After a few years, his wife (25)__________ (diagnose) with a serious infectious disease, and he was accused of illegally taking the money of the bank where he worked. Some people have claimed (26)__________ he was stealing money to help pay his wife’s medical bills. O. Henry fled to Central America, but his wife was too ill to accompany him. Months later, (27)__________ her condition worsened, he returned and turned himself in to the police. His wife soon died, and O. Henry spent three years in prison in Ohio. It was during his time in prison that he began writing the stories that would make him famous. W. S. Porter (28)__________ (emerge) from prison as O. Henry.In 1902 O. Henry moved to New York City and started trying to sell his stories. In a few years his luck changed for the better, and his position with the New York World helped make him a (29)__________ (celebrate) author. He published more than three hundred stories and gained worldwide acclaim. O. Henry’s writing is admired for its colorful and realistic depictions of the everyday lives of New Yorkers. His stories are known for their plot twists and surprise endings. In f act, O. Henry’s own life ended with a“twist”— his funeral was somehow scheduled in the same church at the same time as someone else’s wedding! The O. Henry Award (30)__________ (honor) the authors of the best stories printed each year in American magazines.Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Does technology replace more jobs than it creates? What is the 31 balance between these two things? Until now, that has not been measured. But a new research project led by MIT economist David Autor has developed an answer, at least for U.S. history since 1940. The study uses new methods to examine how many jobs have been lost to machine 32 , and how many have been generated through “augmentation(增强),”in which technology creates new tasks. Overall, the study finds, and particularly since 1980, technology has replaced more U.S. jobs than it has generated.“There does appear to be a faster rate of automation, and a slower rate of augmentation, in the last four decades. from 1980 to the present, than in the four decades 33 .” says Autor. However, that finding is only one of the study’s 34 . The researchers have also developed an entirely new method for studying the issue, based on an analysis of thousands of U.S. census job categories in relation to a(n) 35 look at the text of U. S. patents over the last century. That has allowed them, for the first time, to quantify the effects of technology over both job loss and job creation.The study finds that overall, about 60 percent of jobs in the U.S. represent new types of work, which have been created since 1940. To determine this, Autor and his colleagues 36 through about 35,000 job categories, tracking how they emerge over time. They also used natural language processing tools to analyze the text of every U.S. patent filed since 1920. The research examined how words were “embedded” in the census and patent documents to 37 related passages of text. That allowed them to determine links between new technologies and their effects on employment.From about 1940 through 1980, for instance, jobs like elevator operator and typesetter tended to get automated. But at the same time, more workers filled roles such as shipping and receiving clerks, buyers and department 38 , and civil and space engineers. From 1980 through 2018, the ranks of cabinetmakers and machinists, among others, have been 39 by automation, while industrial engineers, and operations and systems researchers and analysts, have enjoyed growth.Ultimately, the research suggests that the negative effects of automation on employment were more than twice as great in the 1980-2018 period as in the 1940-1980 period. There was a more 40 , and positive, change in the effect of augmentation on employment in 1980-2018, as compared to 1940-1980.Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension (45分)Section 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.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 41 periods.The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure (基础设施) as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,”says Font, an expert in tourism. “For 43 , the city no longer belongs to them.”In response to this situation, cities have come up with various solutions. For instance, Amsterdam has startedadvising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city center on its official website. “That takes courage, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can to 45 congestion.”But it also proposes a better way, which is called “de-tourism”: sustainable travel tips and46 schedules for exploring a real Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of 47 for prospective visitors — ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center —can have the effect of removing them from already crowded landmarks, or 48 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 49 the pressure, says Font. ‘If you go to Paris f or two days, you’re going to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 50 , “We should be asking how we can get tourists to 51 , not how to get them to come for the first time. If they’re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behaviors with ours.”Font says cities could stand to be more 52 about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for mar keting success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking. ‘yeah but at what cost…’”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourist for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourists — a(n) 53 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 54 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local products, and spread out to less crowded parts of the city — all productive steps towards more 55 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.41. A. longer B. shorter C. wider D. clearer42. A. environmental B. national C. economic D. geographic43. A. locals B. tourists C. visitors D. cleaners44.

A. comfortable B. complex C. temporary D. sustainableSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. 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.My husband and I live near San Luis Obispo, California, close to the beach. In November 2023, during the humpback whale migration, we kayaked(划皮划艇) out to watch the wildlife. We were in awe watching these graceful whales breach and spray through their blowholes.At the time, my friend Liz was staying with us. Initially, she refused to join us on the water, fearing the kayak would overturn among the whales. After some cajoling (劝说) she finally agreed to join me. The following morning, we set out early and had our first whale sighting just past the pier: two humpbacks swimming toward us. How amazing to be that close to a creature that size, I thought as the whales dipped under the waterline.When whales go down after breaching, they leave what looks like an oil slick on the water. I figured if we paddled toward that spot, we’d be safe from the wha les, since they’d just left. We followed them at a distance — or what I thought was a distance. I later found out that it’s recommended to keep 300 feet away. We were more like 60 feet away.Suddenly, we were surrounded by jumping silverfish fleeing from the whales. Before we could react, our kayak was lifted out of the water about six feet, bracketed by massive jaws. Liz and I slipped out of the kayak into the whale’s mouth. As the whale’s mouth close d, I felt the creature begin to dive and had no idea how deep we’d be dragged. Still, I didn’t panic. I just kept thinking. I’ve got to fight this. I’ve got to breathe.Whales have enormous mouths but tiny throats. Anything they can’t swallow they spit rig ht out. That included us. As soon as the whale dipped underwater, it ejected us, and we popped back up onto the surface about a foot apart. The entire ordeal lasted only about 10 seconds.Other kayakers rushed to our aid, shocked to see us alive. But I am much more aware of the power of nature and the ocean than I was before. Liz was shaken up, comparing the ordeal to a near-death experience, and she says her whale-watching days are over. But even she had to laugh when she got home that afternoon and realiz ed she’d brought back a souvenir. When she pulled off her shirt, six silverfish flopped out.56. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. At first, Liz was hesitant to go on the kayaking trip because she was not interested in whale watching.B. If Liz and I had maintained a distance of 300 feet from the whales, we might have avoided the subsequent danger.C. Liz and I slipped into the whale’s mouth because jumping silverfish overtu rned our kayak.D. Liz is likely to go on another whale-watching trip someday because she found a precious souvenir from this kayaking.57. How did the narrator feel during the whale encounter?A. Terrified and panicked.B. Disoriented underwaterC. Calm and focused.D. Regretful about going kayaking.58. The underlined word “ordeal” in Paragraph 5 probably meansA. a challenging or difficult experienceB. a thrilling experienceC. a surprising encounterD. a joyful adventure59. What would be the best title of this passage?A. How to Survive a Whale AttackB. Respecting the Power of NatureC. A Day at San Luis Obispo BeachD. I Survived Being Swallowed By a Whalecompasses to maintain their course across the oceans. Yet no one knew howthey worked. Some thought the compass needle was attracted to the NorthStar, others that it was drawn to magnetic mountains in the Arctic. It wasEnglish physician William Gilbert who discovered that Earth itself ismagnetic.Stronger reasons are obtained from sure experiments and demonstratedarguments than from probable conjectures (推测) and the opinions ofphilosophical speculators.William GilbertGilbert’s breakthrough came not from a flash of inspiration, but from17 years of careful experiment. He learned all he could from ships’ captainsand compass makers, and then he made a model globe, or “terrella,” out ofthe magnetic rock lodestone and tested compass needles against it. Theneedles reacted around the terrella just as ships’ compasses did on a largerscale—showing the same patterns of declination (pointing slightly awayfrom true north at the geographic pole, which differs from magnetic north)and inclination (tilting down from the horizontal toward the globe).Gilbert concluded, rightly, that the entire planet is a magnet and has acore of iron. He published his ideas in the book De Magnete (On theMagnet) in 1600, causing a sensation. Johannes Kepler and Galileo, inparticular, were inspired by his suggestion that Earth is not fixed to rotatingcelestial spheres, as most people still thought, but is made to spin by theinvisible force of its own magnetism.60. Before the 16th century, how did captains navigate across oceans?A. The North Star navigated their ships.B. The magnetic mountains in the Arctic guided their journey.C. Magnetic compasses helped them maintain the course.D. The forces in a magnetic field attracted the ships.61. How did William Gilbert find out the fact that Earth itself is magnetic?A. Through trials and errors.B. Through some personal philosophical speculation.C. By acquiring some flash inspiration.D. By studying the ideas of some philosophers.62. Which of the following statement might Galileo agree with?A. The earth stays still.B. Gilbert successfully refuted the laws of magnetic attraction.C. Gilbert’s findings and conclusions are sensational.D. The earth has its own magnetic field.(C)Could your dog be prone to a fatal disease? Is your new shelter pup part beagle or boxer? Many pet owners seek answers to these questions, and as a result, direct-to-consumer dog DNA testing is booming.Human int erfering with dog DNA has long been the driving factor behind dogs’ breed diversity — or lack thereof. But a dog’s DNA can also be used to confirm their lineage (血统) or identify their breed, a boon for pet owners on the lookout for breed-specific health or behavioral challenges or those looking to confirm their dog really has the heritage claimed by a breeder or seller. During DNA analysis, labs sequence the dog’s DNA and look for similarities with a dataset of identified dog breeds.But breed identificatio n isn’t as simple as it might seem. In a study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association last month, scientists looked into the accuracy of breed prediction in commercially available DNA tests that required a photo of the dog in addition to its DNA sample. The results were mixed, says Casey Greene, a professor who co-authored the study.“Most tests could accurately distinguish the breed of purebred dogs,” says Greene. But the analysis suggested that some testing companies might rely on the photo more than the dog’s actual genetics —and revealed big differences between companies’ business practices and the genetic datasets they use to determine dog breeds.The researchers submitted photos and DNA of 12 purebred dogs to a total of six commercial canine(犬的) ancestry identification services. Since each pup was purebred and possessed extensive American Kennel Club paperwork, the researchers knew their breed conclusively—but in some cases they provided a photo of a different dog to see if the photo influenced the DNA results. One of the companies misidentified a purebred Chinese crested dog —almost entirely hairless — as a long-haired Brittany spaniel, seemingly based on the photo alone. The other five did identify the registered breed correctly, but often gave different predictions for other “ancestor” breeds in dogs whose DNA suggested mixed breeding in prior generations. The researchers concluded that veterinarians and pet owners alike should “approach direct-to-consumer tests with caution” given the lack of industry standardization and at least one company’s reliance on photographs instead of DNA analysis.Despite these concerns, though. dog DNA seems headed for a golden age — and the insights revealed through further study of Fido’s genome(基因组) have already reached far beyond the doghouse. Domesticated dogs have emerged as surprising superstars in medical research that benefits humans. According to researchers, that’s just the beginning. With implications ranging from entertaining to consequential, there’s no telling what dog DNA will continue to unleash.63. The underlined word “boon” in paragraph two is closest in meaning to ________.A. blessingB. substituteC. dutyD. struggle64. According to the passage, dog DNA testing can serve the following purposes except that ________.A. it assists in accurately determining the breed a dog belongs toB. it helps to predict whether dogs are subject to certain diseasesC. it provides pet owners with insights into dogs’ behavioral challengesD. it sequences the DNA of identified dog breeds to find their similarities65. Which of the following statements can be concluded from the passage?A. Photos play a more significant role in identifying a dog’s breed than its actual genetics.B.

Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Until we start to lose our balance. we barely notice that it’s there at all. “It starts for a lot of people with simple stuff.” says Dr Anna Lowe, an expert on healthy ageing and physical activity. “67 It’s easy to either miss the signs or just put it down to ageing — but it really is something you can affect.”The key, it is increasingly becoming clear, is to address the decline before it gets serious: and that can happen earlier than you might think.What is balance? Technically, it’s the complex interaction of several different systems in your body —from muscles, nerves, eyesight and the inner ear to the sensory system that lets you recognise where your body is touching the ground, along with movement receptors within your joints that tell you where your body is in space. 68A lack of balance is, globally, associated with serious health problems. Earlier this year, the British Journal of Sports Medicine published the results of a decade-long study involving more than 1,700 middle-aged participants, which concluded that an inability to balance was associated with an almost twofold increase in risk of death.“69 ” agrees Lowe, an associate professor researching strength and balance in midlife. “Older women are far less active than older men, and general activity, just moving around and doing stuff, affects balance a lot. Single-legged movements, such as walking lunges, are a great test of dynamic (动态的) balance, but even bilateralmovements, like squats (深蹲), can provide a challenge.”70 Resistance exercise, whether that means lifting weights or hiking with a backpack, comes with a host of other proven health benefits, from improved bone density to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s. As Locker puts it: everyone’s told to save money for their retirement, and nobody’s taught to save their balance. But both are difficult to get back once they’re gone.Ⅳ. Summary Writing (10分)71. Directions: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.It seems that deep, long-lasting happiness comes from intangible things, rather than things like chocolates and smart-phones. One essential factor is human relationships. People who have the support of family members and also have strong friendships are more likely to be happy. Feeling protected and respected and knowing you can trust in the people around you is vital. But happiness means you have to give and take. Performing acts of kindness and generosity on a regular basis, for example, listening to a friend in need for carrying a neigh bor’s shopping, will make you feel on top of the world. Even a simple smile can work wonders. In fact, they say that one smile makes a person feel as good as eating 2,000 bars of chocolates (not all at once, of course).It is not surprising that health is another key contributor to happiness. Poor health will certainly make you feel down in the mouth. But being healthy and staying healthy require some effort. A healthy diet is crucial and so is regular exercise. Laziness will not make you happy. Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day helps to reduce stress and anxiety and makes you feel more positive and optimistic because it releases endorphins (feel-good chemicals). So, if you have been feeling blue and worrying too much about your exams, get exercising. Yo u’ll also find that you sleep better.Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling miserable? If so, it’s probably because you haven’t had enough of it. Teenagers tend to go to bed too late and have to get up early, so many suffer from a lack of sleep. Tiredness will certainly affect your happiness levels and put you in a bad mood. It also affects your ability to concentrate and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to get at least eight hours of sleep a night. Now that you know the theory, it’s time to put it all into practice.第二卷Ⅴ.

A& Juliet Musical on BroadwayShe’s stronger than yesterday!Following a successful three-year run in London’s West End, the pop musical Juliet is now on Broadway with nine Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical.What is & Juliet about?It kicks off nearly where Romeo & Juliet left off: right before Juliet’s death. This isn’t a retelling of Shakespeare’s tragedy, though. It’s a whole new story in which Juliet decides losing Romeo doesn’t mean she should die. Instead, she goes on a journey of self-discovery to Paris. Accompanied by her friends, including some characters from the original play, like the nurse, as well as new characters, like her friends Francois and May, she goes to parties, makes new friends, and sees what the world has to offer beyond the walls of Verona.What songs are in & Juliet?You may listen to top 40 radio, but you’ve never heard your favorite songs like this.& Juliet has one new song, but the show mostly includes existing popular music. All 30 pop songs in & Juliet were written or co-written by Max Martin, who’s behind the hits of stars like Britney Spears, Katy Perry, and The Backstreet Boys. Anyone who grew up with, or just knows all the words to, hits from the 90s through today will relive their teenage dreams at this show.More information about & JulietSince having its world premiere (首映) in 2019 in London’s West End, & Juliet made its North American debut in Toronto and also its Australian premiere in Melbourne in February 2023.Pick your tickets1. What happens to Juliet in the musical?A. She follows Romeo’s footsteps.B. She starts a new chapter.C. She returns to Verona.D. She travels globally.2. What can we learn about the songs in the musical?A. They feature classical styles.B. They reflect teenage dreams.C. They are originally composed.D. They are created by a master.3. On which day are tickets still available?A. May 7.B. May 20.C. May 26.D. May 30.BJames Rainey reads trees like most people read signposts. The senior ecologist is using a small hand camera to identify a lichen (地衣) that is surrounding the base of wild pines (松树) in a deep narrow valley on the west coast of Scotland. He is looking for ecological clues of species associated with the ancient Caledonian Forest, which once covered most of the Highlands.Wild pines have been growing in Scotland continuously since the ice age, offering a globally unique ecosystem supporting rare wildlife. But now less than 2% of the original growth survives, with just 14 individual Caledonian pinewood sites now officially recognized. “To meet the demand for more wood, many wild pines in Highlands have been removed to make room for commercial forestry,”says Rainey. “This was often done in ancient woodlands and was really damaging to the remaining trees.”But restoration is still possible, especially since some old trees still survive along with the ancient woodland soil and seedbank—seeds stored in the soil, which can grow once the heavy shade of commercial conifers (针叶树) is removed.The ecological investigator uses three clues of evidence to discover where these pinewoods first stood. “First there’s the historical evidence, like old maps and texts. Then comes the landscape context: is the pine associated withplanting around a big house, or is the setting more natural? And finally I use the ecological evidence: wild pine usually grow alongside old birch trees, which indicates ecological continuity,” explains Rainey.Rainey has identified 23 pines in this area, all rooted in places least accessible. Their needles have been taken for genetic testing to confirm their family trees. “This would have been filled with trees but is now empty — these are the most critical areas in need of regeneration and we want the whole of the ancient woodlands to recover, not just the pines,” he said.4. Why are the wild pines considered to be so significant?A. They act as a signpost for the highland.B. They are an indicator of an ancient forest.C. They are an alternative to commercial forestry.D. They provide a shelter for certain species of lichen.5. What is essential for the restoration of ancient pinewoods?A. The existence of ancient seeds.B. The presence of commercial conifers.C. The awareness of the forest protection.D. The application of the advanced technology.6. How does Rainey determine the original location of the pinewoods?A. By locating big houses.B. By consulting historians.C. By referring to digital maps.D. By making the most of surroundings.7. What is the ultimate Rainey’s goal?A. To confirm the genes of the pine.B. To restore the old-growth woodlands.C. To explore the unfrequented places.D. To enrich the diversity of the wild pines.CA new data crowdsourcing platform, an initiative led by Dr. Ioanna Sitaridou at Cambridge University, who has been studying Romeyka for the last 16 years, aims to preserve the sound of Romeyka, an endangered millennia-old variety of Greek. Experts consider the language to be a linguistic (语言的) goldmine and a living bridge to the ancient world.Romeyka, which does not have a writing system and has been transmitted only in spoken form, is thought to have only a couple of thousand native speakers left in Turkey’s Trabzon region. Extensive contact with Turkish, the absence of support systems to facilitate intergenerational transmission, and migration have all taken their toll on Romeyka. A large majority of native speakers in Trabzon are over 65 years of age and fewer young people are learning the language.The newly launched Crowdsourcing Romeyka platform invites members of the public from anywhere in the world to upload audio recordings of Romeyka being spoken. “Speech crowdsourcing is a new tool which helps speakers build a database of spoken materials for their endangered languages, allows researchers to document these languages, and motivates speakers to appreciate their own linguistic heritage (遗产). At the same time, by preserving their language, it can help speakers achieve acknowledgement of their identity from people outside of their speech community,” said Dr. Sitaridou.The innovative tool is designed by a Harvard undergraduate in Computer Science, Mr Matthew Nazari, himself a heritage speaker of Romeyka. Together they hope that this new tool will pave the way for the production of language materials in a naturalistic learning environment away from the classroom, but based instead around everyday use and community.By engaging with local communities, particularly female speakers, Sitaridou has gathered the largest collection of audio and video data in existence and amounting to more than 29GB of sourced data, and has authored 21 peer-reviewed publications. A YouTube film about Sitaridou’s fieldwork has received 723,000 views to-date.8. Why is it necessary to preserve Romeyka?A. It is a variety of Greek.B. It has a unique writing system.C. It can generate commercial value.D. It can strengthen the bond with the past.9. Which can replace the underlined phrase “taken their toll on” in paragraph 2?A. Had a negative influence on.B. Taken full advantage of.C. Played a leading role in.D. Thrown new light on.10. What does paragraph 3 want to stress about the platform?A. Its prospect.B. Its originality.C. Its significance.D. Its limitation.11. Which can best describe Dr. Sitaridou’s work?A. Conventional.B. Eventful.C. Fruitful.D. Debatable.DHave you ever found yourself having intrusive (侵扰的) thoughts about something you haven’t finished? Maybe a half-done work project is keeping you up at night or the suspenseful plot of a novel you’re reading keeps circling your thoughts. There is a reason why it’s so hard to stop thinking about uncompleted and interrupted tasks, and psychologists called it the Zeigarnik effect (Z-effect).The Ziegarnik effect was first observed by a Russian psychologist named Bluma Zeigarnik. While sitting in a busy restaurant in Vienna, Ziegarnik noted that the waiters had better memories of unpaid orders. Once the bill was paid, however, the waiters had trouble remembering the exact details of the orders.Zeigarnik did a series of experiments, in which participants were asked to complete simple tasks such as putting together puzzles, or solving math problems. Half of the participants were interrupted partway through doing these tasks. After an hour-long wait, Zeigarnik asked the participants to describe what they had been working on. She discovered that the people who had been interrupted in their work were twice as likely to remember what they had been doing as the people who had been able to complete the tasks.We are living in an information explosion era, and we need mental tricks to help us remember a great deal of information. The Zeigarnik effect serves as a prime example. We hold on to information in the short term by constantly pulling it back into our awareness. By thinking of uncompleted tasks often, we’re more likely to keep remembering them until they get done.The Zeigarnik effect tells us a lot about how memory works and you can use the Zeigarnik effect to your advantage. If you are struggling to memorize something important, momentary interruptions might work to your advantage. Rather than simply repeating the information, review it a few times, and then take a break. Nevertheless, leaving too many tasks unfinished can lead to feelings of overwhelm and anx iety. Therefore, it’s crucial to use thiseffect wisely in practical applications.12. What is the typical characteristic of the Z-effect?A. Tending to memorize unfinished tasks.B. Trying to finish various tasks at a time.C. Performing terribly during a task.D. Suspending an uncompleted task.13. What is the function of paragraph 3?A. To classify a concept.B. To provide further evidence.C. To stress the experiment’s complexity.D. To add some background information.14. Which is a practical application of the Z-effect?A. Reading a whole story in one breath.B. Producing a drama with unexpected endings.C. Keeping several windows open on your computer.D. Airing ads during the suspenseful moments in a TV series.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Z-Effect: How Interruptions Enhance MemoryB. The Z-Effect: How to Boost Recall of Finished TasksC. The Power of Completing Tasks Ahead of ScheduleD. The Tricks of Developing Long-term Memory第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AOn August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley saved me.The previous afternoon, I played with my six-year-old peers in Heather Peters’ backyard. I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over” to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer” means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed my mother's permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She granted permission! Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. I didn't bring my own pajamas(睡衣)，so Mrs. Peters offered me Heather's pajamas.As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake. “Do I need to go again? I'll stay up to go one more time.. .”.Of course , I finally fell asleep.The next morning , I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do — I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen. I got up, took off Heather's pajamas and changed into my clothes like the other girls.Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet pajamas. My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red. “WHO DID THIS?” She screamed, with a look so frightening. Should I answer? And that was when it happened — Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife , ‘‘Elvis Presley died!”The news of the King's death overtook Mrs. Peters, and I ,was spared. I got home without the other girls knowing what had happened.1. The author had to spend the night at Peters' because ________.A. she enjoyed her cake thereB. the famous singer Elvis Presley died that nightC. her mother allowed her to do soD. It was a routine of the party2. Mrs. Peters got angry because ________.A. she found the wet pajamasB. Elvis Presley passed awayC. her husband was rude to herD. all the girls slept at her house3. From the story, we know Mrs. Peters was ________.A. a bad-tempered womanB. a fan of Elvis PresleyC. a woman for perfectionD. a woman who hated to wash pajamas4. The passage is mainly about ________.A. an embarrassing childhood incidentB. a fan-purchasing experienceC. the shocking death of a famous singerD. an unfriendly hostessBBEIJING —China's education authority will tighten the widely criticized policy of “extra credits” for the national college entrance examination to ensure a fairer chance for all exam-takers.Under the policy, high school students who win awards in national Olympic petitions could get ‘‘extra credits’, up to 20 points for the national college entrance exam. Students with talent in sports and students who are from ethnic groups can also benefit from this policy. The extra credits have increased these students' chances of being admitted by famous universities. Some parents were found to have helped their children fabricate(伪造)award experiences or falsify qualifications to get extra credits.“It has harmed education equality，” the ministry said.Xiong Bingqi, vice-chief of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said the policy is designed to help students who have special talents but may be weak in academic performance to have a chance to receive higher education. It will still be needed but it is time to make the rules fairer," he said.The ministry said it will reduce the range of petitions whose winners can get extra credits, and limit the winners, privileges.The new policy will apply to students who begin high school in xx, it said.Chen Lei, a mother of a 10-year-old girl, said she weled the ministry's policy adjustment as she does not want her daughter to bee an Olympic petition geek.But n ot all the Chinese parents weled the new policy. “It is like a thunderbolt for me. My 13-year-old son has spent so much time studying Olympic math, and participated in so many technological petitions during vacations. It is useless now,” said Dong Wen, a 43-year-old mother.A student said, “Many students have changed the current study plan, and they can abandon the petition. I will be interested in learning the courses which can improve my abilities.”Yuan Guiren, minister of education, told China Daily that the reform is an attempt to consider the overall quality of an applicant. “But the country will not stop the national college entrance examination as it is still the most objective way to evaluate talent in China,” he said.5. It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A. high school students with talent in sports are weak in academic performanceB. students who win awards in Olympic petitions can't get extra credits in xxC. the number of petitions whose winners can be awarded extra credits will be smallerD. he extra credits have reduced students' chances of being admitted by famous colleges6. What does the underlined word “geek” probably mean?A. a winnerB. a smart learnerC. a petitorD. a dull student7. Which person in the passage was strongly against the new policy?A. Xiong BingqiB. Chen LeiC. Dong WenD. Yuan Guiren8. What might be the best title for the text?A. “Extra credits” policy in China to be adjustedB. Promotion of national Olympic petitionsC. Advice on the national college entrance examD. Chinese government to push education reformCNew York----Michelle Obama made a daring decision to return to the same designer who created her Inaugural (就职）Ball dress four years ago -- and the risk paid off.The First Lady looked extremely attractive in a thin, sweeping, and ruby-colored dress by designer Jason Wu. She teamed the dramatic dress with heels by Jimmy Choo and a diamond ring by Kimberly McDonald.She surprised the fashion establishment by returning to a Wu design which had been the custom made for her.Four years ago at her first Inauguration Ball, Michelle shimmered（熠熠生辉）in an off-white, one-shouldered floor-length dress by the designer.Wu, who was 26 at the time and had only been working in fashion for three years, saw his career take off after the First Lady's surprise decision to wear one of his dresses.He said at the time that he was unaware she had chosen the dress and had been watching at home on his couch and eating pizza when she appeared.After her xx decision, Wu told Women's Wear Daily: “Mrs Obama likes to keep her secrets. She fooled me again.”Wu released a women's clothing and accessories（装饰品）collection at Target last year and continues to be popular with the First Lady for official engagements.The sleeveless, cross-halter neck dress with low-cut back flattered（突出）49-year-old Michelle's arms and neat waist.It had been created especially for her by Wu and was a departure from the dark and plain colour tone she stuck to at earlier inauguration events.Mrs Obama's new hairstyle -- she had bangs（美发沙龙）cut on her birthday last week had been loosely tousled（蓬松的）for the special night.Vice-President Joe Biden's wife Jill also looked attractive in a blue silk dress by Vera Wang at the Inauguration Ball.9.

The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference．16 Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways. 17 After a while, it collects in the sea. And plastic never goes away. Plastic is not biodegradable—destroyed by bacteria or natural processes. Instead, it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time. The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants. 18 That means harmful material may get into our food supply.19 Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it. They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly. Plastic recycling programs also works—where old bottles and other plastics are collected, broken down and used to make new products. We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to, rather than end it after the first use. We could, when we get rid of that plastic, recycle it and reuse it, which replaces the need for raw materials.The report also calls on panies to improve methods for using plastics. 20 And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use. By putting a new value on plastic, industry has a special reason to clean up the environment.But all of the panies must join to deal with the problem.A. The plastic eventually reaches coastal areas and ocean waters.B. But people can make a big difference.C. Plastics should be gathered together and reused.D. Then, fish may eat the plastics.E. It is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life.F. It asks for them to better measure and direct plastic use.G. The report tells about harm to sea life and what might be done to improve the situation.第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Initially, Lin has to contact her customers to learn the stories behind each one and the type of presentation they prefer. Then comes the disassembly. The components, after being carefully cleaned, will be laid out on a piece of white paper in the desired order. The final step is to use graphics software, Photoshop, to draw and print a base plate.Lin gained her popularity on short-video platform Douyin. However, it was not luck that brought Lin her current success. She first tried her hand at livestreaming in 2017 as a performer singing popular songs on Douyin. At the time she was a senior at Beijing Foreign Studies University. After graduation, she went to the UK for further study. During her one-year stay abroad, Lin visited many museums and appreciated exhibitions on different subjects, varying from insects to dolls. She was so fascinated by an exhibit of used light bulbs, which gave her the inspiration to disassemble electronics and present the components like a decorative painting. She returned to China in 2019 and taught herself how to use digital design software.Before officially starting her business, Lin surveyed her followers to see whether theywould be interested in buying electronic disassembly art. It is important to know who your target audience is when running social media accounts, she explains. Speaking of the future, she notes that there are no big plans, but she will keep focusing on her daily work.4、What is the first step of Lin's work?A.

Creative and organized."Shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life that you'd like to," the Smiths once sang. However, research suggests that may not be the case when working as a team.Researchers have found that when animals temper their personalities because of social rules, the efficiency of a group to undertake risky missions-such as foraging(觅食) for food-is boosted. "We see this phenomenon happening when we mix together a school of fish with wildly different personalities: the very fearless individuals and the very shy individuals tend to control what they would normally be doing when they stick with the rest of the group," said Dr Sean Rands, the lead author of the research at the University of Bristol.Writing in the journal PLoS Computational Biology, the researchers reported how they built a computer model to investigate the impact of social conventions and animals' personalities on the movement of individuals within a group. The model was based on an assumption in which a group of animals in a safe "home" set out to travel to a food foraging site some distance away.The results revealed that when no social conventions were in place, their movements were governed by their personalities alone-in other words how fearless or shy they were determined how quickly they left home and arrived at the foraging site. However, when social conventions were introduced, so that the individuals had to keep an eye on each other and adjust their movements accordingly, the impact of personality reduced with less variationin how quickly they reached the destination. The team found where social conventions were present, the group foraged more efficiently than when individuals behaved independently. "We find that if individuals pay attention to the other members of the group, the group will tend to remain at the safe site for longer, but then travel faster towards the foraging site," the team wrote.Rands added that for many social animals, being part of a group can bring huge benefits, and these can outweigh the influence of personality.8、Why are the Smiths' words mentioned in paragraph 1?A.

Control Your PersonalitiesChina Daily, February 28th, 2023—MOSS, the first large–scale conversational language model in China, will be made open–source software by the end of March, according to its research and development team.Named after the artificial intelligence–based computer that controls the space station in the popular Chinese sci-fi film, The Wandering Earth Ⅱ, MOSS became the first ChatGPT-like software to be released in China. It was made available for public testing on Feb 20. Many people were quick to test the software and share their experiences online. The traffic was so heavy that the platform had to be suspended for an upgrade."The plan is to have MOSS interact with humans for a month so as to optimize it. If everything goes well, it will be made open source by the end of March," Qiu Xipeng, director of the Natural Language Processing Committee of the Shanghai Computer Society, which is leading the R&D, during the 2023 Global Artificial Intelligence DevelopersConference in Shanghai on Sunday.Making MOSS open-source software can effectively reduce the threshold (门槛) for the development and application of pre-trained language models, thus allowing small and medium-sized enterprises to develop various products, such as smart customer service, smart home and AI lawyers on the basis of it. Qiu said, "MOSS still has a lot of room for improvement, but its appearance proves that the domestic scientific research team has the ability to overcome important technical challenges on the way to developing ChatGPT-like products.""We want to share MOSS and its model codes and development experiences with everyone, and hope that China can be at the forefront of the world in terms of large–scale language models. We look forward to the continued cooperation between the Fudan team and the Shanghai laboratory, through MOSS and subsequent research and exploration, to promote AI inclusiveness and authorize the domestic AI industry as soon as possible," he added.12、What can we learn from paragraph 2?A.
