1.2024届上海市宝山区高三英语二模专题汇编:完形填空For decades,people have guessed that artificial intelligence(AI)will eventually replace human workers.But developments in the past few years have41these concerns as companies have released AI that can answer questions,42of AI replacing them.But write articles and create images.Now,even people in creative fields must consider themany experts still insist that these AI programs are no substitute for human ability.AI programs have the43to perform some tasks currently performed by human workers.These include media jobs,such as writing advertisements and articles,along with many jobs in the financial fields and even tech-related jobs such as computer programming.AI is good at44data,so financial analysts and market research analysts may find their jobs45.Using AI for certain tasks may be a good thing.Perhaps AI will46less interesting work,allowing people to do more satisfying jobs,just as earlier technologies ing a machine to do laundry saves time47to washing clothes by hand,and many people use that extra time productively.48,AI may be able to take over dull tasks, liberating people to be truly creative,since thinking up new ideas is something AI cannot do.Another big challenge for AI is human49.Most people prefer to communicate with humans rather than machines.Hence,AI is50to replace humans for jobs that require personal connection,such as counseling or teaching.A robot can perform tasks,but it cannot51care about others,and sometimes care is what people need.AI can process data quickly,but it can only use data that it is given.So it cannot adapt to situations that52 significantly from those in its data.Thus,although some AI programs can create content,none of them can be truly creative as the content AI creates will53consist of some combination of its sources.Finally,if the AI receives false information,it has no way of recognizing that as false.Humans can also be fooled,but54,AI must continually life experience can tell them whether a claim is reasonable,an ability that AI does not have.be fact-checked to make sure its data,and therefore its conclusions,are accurate.55.At best AI may eliminate

Science.Psychology researchers Anna V.Fisher,Karrie E.Godwin and Howard Seltman of Carnegie Mellon University looked at whether classroom displays affected children’s ability to maintain42during instruction and to learn the lesson content.They found that children in highly decorated classrooms were more distracted,spent more time off-task and demonstrated smaller learning43than when the decorations were removed.“Young children spend a lot of time—usually the whole day—in the same classroom,and we have shown that a classroom’s44environment can affect how much children learn,”said Fisher,lead author and associate professor of psychology in the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences.Should teachers45their visual displays based on the findings of this study?“We do not suggest by any means that this is the answer to all46problems.Furthermore, 47research is needed to know what effect the classroom visual environment has on children’s attention and learning in real classrooms,”Fisher said.“48,I would suggest that instead of removing all decorations,teachers should consider whether some of their visual displays do make it difficult for young children to49.”For the study,24kindergarten students were placed in50classrooms for six introductory science lessons on topics they were unfamiliar with.Three lessons were taught in a heavily decorated classroom,and three lessons were given in a sparse(稀疏的)classroom.The results showed that while children learned in both51types,they learned more when the room was not heavily decorated.Specifically,children’s52on the test questions was higher in the sparse classroom(55%correct)than in the decorated classroom(42%correct).“We were also interested in finding out if the visual displays were removed,whether the children’s attention would 53to another distraction,such as talking to their peers,or the total amount of time they were distracted would remain the same,”said Godwin,a Ph.D.candidate in psychology and fellow of the Program in Interdisciplinary Education Research.However,when the researchers totaled all of the time children spent off-task in both types of classrooms,the rate of off-task54was higher in the decorated classroom(38.6%time spent off-task)than in the sparse classroom(28.4% time spent off-task).The researchers hope these findings will lead to further studies into developing guidelines to help teachers design classrooms55.41.A.attracting B.distracting C.holding D.paying42.A.confidence B.relationship C.consistency D.focus43.A.gains B.opportunities C.needs

constant peers’mockery(嘲笑)for his____49____accent,and Alfredo longed for acceptance and belonging.____50____these obstacles,they persevered,leaning on each other for support and inspiration.After a few test runs of their robot,they piled into a second-hand van to head to the competition.Upon entering the main pool area,they noticed the college teams wearing matching outfits,with robots sponsored by big companies. Feeling a bit nervous,the boys put the robot in the water for a test run.____51____,the PVC didn’t hold up,causing the robot to leak and sink.However,instead of letting this____52____ruin their spirits,the boys put their heads together and came up with a brilliant solution.12hours later,armed with8super-absorbent pads to plug the leak,the robot was____53____into the pool again.This time,their robot performed admirably.Gliding gracefully through the waters,it navigated the course with precision and speed,____54____the judges and audience alike.This underwater robot,a symbol of their determination and____55____,conquered the waters,defeated engineering powerhouse MIT and ranked first in the country.This was not just a win for those four but a victory for every underdog with a dream.41.

Another is that the language interventions were perhaps too short.The handful of studies looking into the issue have used language lessons that were very different in their__55__and frequency.Some studies taught participants for eight months,others for just one very intense week.41.

You probably vow(发誓)to___42___dollar pizza slices the rest of the month to balance out this dinner.___43___,this time,what if you just turned to your friend,closed the menu,and said,“Sorry,I have to be honest.I can’t afford this. Let’s go somewhere else?”That’s the idea behind“loud budgeting”,a trend that could not only relieve you of the___44___burden,but help you deal with these sorts of stressful situations both mentally and emotionally.In an age when everybody is showing off nice things on social media and___45___to be something they’re not,it feels somewhat revolutionary to just tell the truth about what you can’t afford.The term was first introduced by TikTok(抖音)comedian Lukas Battle.Battle explained his concept in an interview: simply put,loud budgeting is being___46___about what you do and don’t want to spend money on.Since his video,the concept has caught on rapidly among the___47___,who are pointing out that it has come at a significant time when everything is uncontrollably expensive.It’s not just a TikTok thing though.Even those in the financial services industry are on board with the___48___. Nikolina Cuca,a financial advisor,says that she’s seen social media add pressure to her clients,causing them to spend ___49___on luxury items.“There should be no shame about trying to match your spending to your means.This trend helps young people moderate spending by___50___the idea of living within budgets.”Beyond just saving money,loud budgeting is also bringing people closer.Honest money talks lead to greater respect among friends and family.By___51___discussing money goals,people are creating stronger bonds based on mutual understanding for each other’s financial situations.And perhaps the most valuable part of the loud budgeting trend is that it provides a sense of___52___.For example,if you tell a friend you are trying to cut back spending on drinks out,you are much___53___to stick with the goal than if you just keep it to yourself.With its focus on being open,spending wisely,and building___54___,loud budgeting is more than just a passing trend,but a cool way for the younger generation to___55___their finances.As more people adopt this approach,it is likely to stay a big part of how we handle money in the future.41.

He got on well with all of his classmates and they all liked him so much. Unluckily, the poor boy’s father passed away because of a terrible accident two years ago, leaving Ben and his mother. Last Sunday afternoon, he went home from his school without saying anything. There would be a class meeting the next day. It was a rule that all the parents had to attend it . However, Ben didn’t want his mother to go to the meeting because she was a deaf-mute (聋哑人). With such a deaf-mute mother, he was afraid that other students and their parents would laugh at him. It was just what he could not stand.Seeing her son getting home, the mother made a gesture (手势) of “I love you” as usual. Ben usually gave back a kiss to her in the past, but this time he didn’t say anything and went into his own room. Ben went for the table but he ate nothing with his head down. Her mother asked what on earth had happened to him. “Nothing serious. I just feel uncomfortable in my heart, Mum.”The next day, forty-nine parents went into the classroom and sat on their children’s seats. Only Ben’s seat was empty. Ben was gloomy (忧郁的) on the seat. Suddenly, “please show your mother to your seat, Ben” the head teacher said. Ben’s mother made a gesture of “I’m sorry I’m late” to others. “Please explain your mother’s words to us, Ben” the head teacher said. So all the parents knew she was a deaf-mute. Then they all stood up from the seats and smiled to her in a friendly way.Ben came to his mother and asked impolitely, “Why do you come here, Mum?”“Only because I love you,” the mother made a gesture and her face turned red like a shy girl.34.Why didn’t Ben want his mother to go to the class meeting?A.Because she was too busy.B.Because she couldn’t hear or say. C.Because she didn’t have new clothes.D.Because she wanted to go to Canada. 35.How did the mother express “I love you”?A.By making a face.B.By drawing a picture.C.By making a gesture.D.By saying it with her mouth. 36.Who explained the gesture of “I’m sorry I’m late” to others?A.Ben.B.Ben’s mother.C.One of the parents.D.Ben’s head teacher.37.What’s the best title for this passage?A.Ben’s sadness.B.A parents’ meeting.C.Ben’s head teacher.D.Mother’s love.The next day was sunny and hot. I put on my new clothes, paddled to the river bank in the canoe and walked to Silas Phelps’ place. I was climbing over the fence that surrounded the small wooden house when the dogs started barking. The noise brought a woman and some children to the door. The woman seemed very happy to see me. She ran up to me, smiling. “You’re here at last!” she said. Then she hugged me and kissed me and hugged me again.“Yes”, I replied politely.“Look, Silas!” the woman said. “It’s Tom! Tom Sawyer! He’s arrived at last!”I nearly fell on the floor with surprise. She thought I was Tom Sawyer! Now I knew exactly what to say because I knew Tom’s family well. I talked about Sid and Mary, Aunt Polly and everybody else for two hours. Then in the distance I heard a steamboat.“Perhaps Tom is on that boat!” I thought. I had to stop him before he arrived at the farm.“Aunt Sally!” I said. “I left my bag in the town. I must go and pick it up.”“Your Uncle Silas will take you, Tom,” she said.“It’s OK, Aunt Sally. I can drive the wagon,” I replied.I was halfway to town when I saw another wagon coming towards me. Tom Sawyer was in it. When he saw me he looked terrified. “Huck! Why have you come back to scare me? I never hurt you,” he said.“I haven’t come back, Tom. I’ve never been away.”“Aren’t you a ghost? Aren’t you dead?”“No, it was a trick. Come and feel me if you don’t believe me.”He did, and then he was sure that I wasn’t a ghost.

He came up with a series of questions about the sky, stars, nature and the world around us. The poem showed his spirit of finding the truth.Inspired (激励) by the great poet, China named its latest series of planetary exploration missions (行星探测任务) after the poem in 2020. The first one in the series—a Mars exploration mission—has been named Tianwen 1, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) said on April 24, 2020, China’s Space Day. This shows China’s wish to explore the universe (宇宙) .China has made great progress in space exploration. In 1970, China sent its firstman-made Earth satellite (卫星), becoming the fifth country in the world to send a man-made satellite independently. Since 2003, China has carried out six Shenzhou manned missions. China’s moon exploration missions—the Chang’e series—started in 2007. In December 2018, China became the first country to send the probe (探测器) Chang’e 4 to the moon’s far side.The Tianwen series will follow the Shenzhou and Chang’e series and move further into space. The first step is to send a Mars probe, which means the start of China’s exploration of the red planet. The probe is planned to circle around, land on and explore Mars in one mission. It is the first to finish all of these tasks in one mission. The Long March 5 rocket has sent the probe to Mars.After this mission, China plans to visit Mars again in 2028, aiming to collect soil from the ground of the planet and bring it to Earth. Around 2030, China will explore Jupiter and several small planets.42.Why is the first Mars exploration mission named Tianwen 1?A.It explains the spirit of Chinese people.B.It shows the wish of exploring the universe.C.It has many questions about the sky, stars and the world.D.It expresses the great poet Qu Yuan’s feelings.43.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A.How China explored the moon.B.How China explored the Mars.

Her videos cover a wide variety of crafts (手艺) related to traditional Chinese culture. From making paper and ink to weaving cloth, from making a silk quilt (被子) for her grandmother to building her own bread kiln with blocks, nothing seems impossible with Li’s crafty hands. But Li’s most eye-catching and mouth-watering craft is cooking.Li seldom speaks in her videos. Instead, Li focuses on how she works with her hands. Scenes of picking seasonal ingredients (原料) from her own garden and turning them into dishes on her wood-fired wok are often seen in her videos. Li emphasizes the seasons in her cooking, as China’s traditional 24 Solar Terms also do, and makes food suitable for the particular climate.“My heart warmed up as I watched her flip soybeans in the video for making soy sauce(酱油). I was really moved. I used to do this kind of work when I was young,” comments Weibo user July of Jiangnan.“Li Ziqi is not made without passion. Without passion, you cannot understand Li Ziqi,” the official Sina Weibo account of CCTV comments.Li, born in 1990, has been living with her grandparents in the rural parts of Mianyang, Sichuan province, since the age of 6 after her father died. Li has always been crafty with her hands, having helped with her grandfather’s carpentry(木工手艺) and grandmother’s housekeeping.After returning home in 2012, Li opened an online shop, Li Ziqi, to sell mostly food. Forbetter sales, she began making short films in 2016 about how these products were created, while covering her life in the rural area.“I started it because I wanted to create something for people to watch and relax. We are all under a lot of stress. I hoped that after a long and busy day, they could click on my videos and relieve some of their anxiety and pressure,” Li said.But her videos did more than that. Viewers from both home and abroad are hooked.“She uses things that are common in life, but I never know where those things came from.Thank you for giving me an opportunity to get to know them better!” writes Sina Weibo user Qin Fengqin.“I just discovered your videos last month and I’m hooked. Thank you for your inspiring and relaxing videos. Because of you, I’ve learned a lot about Chinese culture and gained several new skills,” writes YouTube user Odessa Villareal.29.Many traditional crafts can be seen in Li Ziqi’s videos EXCEPT ________.

If you don’t know his name, you’ve surely used his famous invention. The British scientist created the World Wide Web.On Oct.29, 2019, the Internet officially turned 50 years old. To mark the day,Berners-Lee wrote online, “The Internet and the web have changed billions of lives for the better. But their power for good is under threat(威胁). This birthday must mark the moment we take on the fight for the web we want.”Speaking at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), he pointed out three problems affecting today’s web-criminal behavior, ad-based websites, and offensive online communication. These problems led Berners-Lee to create the Web Foundation for the web. The Foundation aims to protect internet users.Despite all of these negatives, we shouldn’t forget about all the benefits the Internet brings. In this digital age, the Internet connects the world through social media, cashless payments and has become an important source of information. It can also make a positive difference through activities that push for positive change, education or aid.One such activity is Movember. The movement, held every November, encourages men to grow a mustache(胡子) for the whole month, post pictures online, and donate. The charity promotes physical health, mental health, and suicide(自杀) prevention for men. Not to mention, the Internet is also a source of fun. From funny kitten videos on Weibo to your very own Douyin videos, the Internet allows you to share what you create.Speaking to the Web Foundation, Berners-Lee said, “The web has become a public square, a library, a doctor’s office, a shop, a school, and it has given marginalized groups who have few chances to express themselves in real life a voice.” In the next 30 years, if we give up on trying to build a better web, we will have failed it. We need to come together as a global community.”33.According to Tim Berners-Lee, the Web Foundation was created to ________.A.fight against online crimeB.celebrate the Internet’s 50th birthdayC.increase internet speeds around the worldD.build a better protected network environment34.Which is TRUE according to the passage?A.Movember is held to draw public attention to men’s mustache.B.Tim Berners-Lee, the American scientist created World Wide Web.C.More people prefer to use the Internet for fun instead of getting information.D.In the future, we will probably fail to build a better web unless we keep trying. 35.The underlined phrase “marginalized groups” in the last paragraph probably refers to________.A.wealthy peopleB.old peopleC.disadvantaged peopleD.powerful people36.The article is mainly about ________.A.the history of the World Wide WebB.the problems of the World Wide WebC.Tim Berners-Lee’s plans to save the World Wide WebD.the plan to celebrate World Wide Web’s 50th birthdayD(2020·江苏·南京)Scene1(Later that night in Princess Ann’s bed chamber.

"Every night?But you don't even know these people." "It doesn't matter," she said. "What's important is that I listen." I was sixteen years old and couldn't understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers.She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. " .Some people didn't even stop to catch breath,I said."My attitude didn't decrease my mother's enthusiasm for the project.That evening,she settled on the sofa and dialed.For a while,I listened as she asked the woman on the other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner.When she finished the call,I said,"Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert" My mother grasped one of my hands and gave it a slight squeeze. "I'm the only person she talked to today."It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement.Now,as my mother is nearing eighty,I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make.I am often the only person who telephones my mother,and sometimes I'm the only person she speaks to all day.I ask her what she cooked for dinner,but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took,or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator.I realize that my mother's calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world.Without her,their world would have been empty.45.Why did the author's mother call the seniors______A.

Call your parents oftenCHaving finished her homework,Ma Li wants some music for relaxation.As usual,she starts her computer and goes to to download music files.But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs' copyright bursts onto the screen.The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused(控告)of pirating(盗用)wsuits(诉讼)have been filed against four websites offering free downloads.In September 2005,a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses.Baidu was also told to blockthe links to the pirated music on the website.This caused a heated discussion on Internet file sharing."Baidu's defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying.Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines," said an official.Like many teens,Huang Ruoru,an l8-year-old girl from Guangzhou in Guangdong Province,doesn't think that getting music from websites is wrong.She always shares her favorite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends.When told about the lawsuit,she began to feel a little guilty about getting others' work without paying.However,other teenagers have different ideas.Wang Yafei,a Senior 2 girl from Jinan,Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers,"If I download a song and really like it,I will buy the CD," she said. "So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music,rather than pursuing (追究)file-sharers."50.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?______A. Music on the Internet is of better quality.B. Downloading material can be illegal.C. It's good to get free music on the Internet.D. Baidu is a popular web company.51.The four web companies were put to court because ______ .A. they got copyrighted songs without payingB. they downloaded copyrighted music for peopleC. they make copyrighted files for free downloadsD. they offer free music on line52.How do some of the teenagers feel while downloading free music after the lawsuit?______A. A bit ashamed.B. A little sad.C. Extremely angry.D. Awfully sorry.53.What's the advantage of file sharing for recording companies according to Wang Yafei______A. Getting more money from web companies.B. Enabling people to download favorite songs.C. Helping to improve the music.D. Making pop singers more popular.54.It can be inferred from the text that ______ .A. Web companies are still ignoring the copyright laws.B. Teenagers haven't got money to buy CDs.C. Teenagers are probably still downloading free music.D. Teenagers prefer CDs with copyright to pirated music.DFall 2021 Story ContestOur Fall Contest is open to all fiction and nonfiction writers.We're looking for short stories,essays,memoirs,photo essays,graphic stories,all forms of literary nonfiction,and excerpts (摘录)from longer works of both fiction and nonfiction.Entries (参赛作品)must be previously unpublished,no longer than 15,000 words,and must not have been previously chosen as a winner,finalist,or honorable mention in another contest.As always,we are looking for works with a strong narrative drive,with characters we can respond to,and with effects of language,situation,and insight that are intense and total.We look for works that have the ambition of enlarging our view of ourselves and the world..Awards:First Prize is ﹩2,500,Second Prize is ﹩1,000,Third Prize is ﹩500,and up to ten finalists will receive ﹩100 each.All entries will be considered for publication.

"A lot of people are surprised at how well he did.They're like, ‘How did you get your 5-year-old to do that while my 5-year-old won't even walk half a mile without complaining?'" Mom Cassie Sutton said.The Suttons said that while the adventure of the 2,100-mile hike was fun as a family,it did have its challenges—especially when it came to keeping Harvey entertained. "We learned that he is gifted in hiking,but as long as we're playing make-believe with him all day long,then he moves quickly and hikes a lot faster than a lot of us imagine," Josh Sutton said.While the Suttons have plans for more hikes and family adventures ahead,the family is getting adjusted to life at home again as Harvey begins his latest adventure:kindergarten.58.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs______A. A 5-year-old hiked 2,100 miles in about 7 months.B. Josh earned the nickname "Little Man" because of his son.C. Harvey is the youngest person to cover the 2,100-mile trail.D. One Virginia family had trouble getting away from electronics.59.What is the challenge of making Harvey finish the adventure?______A. Playing make-believe.B. Keeping him amused.C. Hiking fast enough.D. Having meals as a family.60.Which word can best describe Harvey in hiking?______A. Negative.B. Naughty.C. Normal.D. Talented.61.What is Harvey's next adventure______A. To have more games.B. To get adjusted to family life.C. To receive pre-school education.D. To have more hikes with his family.FThe number of weather-related disasters has increased by five times over the past 50 years,the latest report by the World Meteorological (气象)Organization (WMO)said on September 1.However,thanks to improved early warning systems and disaster management,the number of death from these hazards (危险)has been almost three times less.According to the WMO,from 1970 to 2019,weather,climate and water hazards accounted for 50 percent of all disasters.Among the top 10 hazards that led to the largest loss of human life during this period were droughts,storms,floods and extreme temperatures.However,deaths fell from over 50,000 in the 1970s to less than 20,000 in the 2010s."Weather,climate and water extremes are increasing and will become more frequent and severe in many parts of the world as a result of climate change," says WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas."That means more heatwaves,drought and forest fires such as those we have observed recently in Europe and North America.We have more water vapor in the atmosphere,which is worsening extreme rainfall and deadly flooding.The warming of the oceans has affected the frequency and area of existence of the most intense tropical storms.""Economic losses are increasing as exposure increases.But behind the statistics lies a message of hope.Improved multi-hazard early warning systems have led to a significant reduction in deaths,Quite simply,we are better than ever before at saving lives," Taalas said.62.What do we know from the first paragraph______A. Disasters connected with weather have gone up.B. The number of weather-related disasters has decreased.C. The number of deaths from hazards has been increasing.D. Early warning systems have made disasters decline much.63.What will happen according to Petteri Taalas?______A. There will be more extreme weather.B. Extreme rainfall will no longer exist.C. Water vapor in the atmosphere will go down.D. Humans will conquer extreme weather in the end.64.What is hopeful behind the bad news______A. Improved warning systems will save economic losses.B. Economic losses are going down as exposure increases.C. More lives will be saved thanks to early warning systems.D. Improved early warning systems will control extreme weather.65.Where may the text be taken from?______A. A novel.B. An advertisement.C. A guideline.D. A magazine.GNew research suggests that a gene that governs the body's biological (circadian)clock acts differently in males versus females and may protect females from heart disease.The study is the first to analyze circadian blood pressure rhythms (节奏)in female mice.The body's circadian clock—the biological clock that organizes bodily activities over a 24- hour period —contributes to normal variations in blood pressure and heart function over the course of the day.In most healthy humans,blood pressure dips (下降)at night.People who do not experience this temporary drop,called "non-dippers",are more likely to develop heart disease.The circadian clock is made up of four main proteins (encoded by "clock genes")that regulate close to half of all genes in the body,including those important for blood pressure regulation.Previous research has shown that male mice that are missing one of the four clock genes (PER1)become non-dippers and have a higher risk for heart and kidney disease.A research team studied the circadian response and blood pressure of female mice that lack PERI andgroups " an apparent circadian rhythm" of blood pressure,the researchers explained.Unlike the male mice in previous research,the females without PERI showed normal dips in blood pressure overnight.These results suggest that the lack of PERI acts differently in males and females.The findings are consistent with research showing that women are less likely to be non-dippers than men of the same age. "This study represents an important step in understanding sex differences in the regulation of cardiovascular (心血管)function by the circadian clock," the researchers wrote.66.What does the new research find______A. Biological clock may protect males from heart disease.B. Biological blood pressure rhythms in female mice act normally.C. Biological clock organizes bodily activities over a 24-hour period.D. A gene controlling biological clock works differently between sexes.67.What role can circadian clock play according to the text?______A. Helping males cure heart disease.B. Helping blood pressure vary normally.C. Contributing to abnormal variations in blood pressure.D. Making up four main proteins regulating almost half of all genes.68.Which word can best replace the underlined word "retained" in paragraph 3______A. treatedB. warnedC. keptD. watched69.What would be a suitable title for the text______A. One clock gene is importantB. Women may benefit from biological clockC. New study analyzes blood pressure rhythmsD. Blood pressure of healthy humans dips at night四、阅读七选五(本大题共10小题,共15.0分)It's reported that a male waiter recently poured boiling water over a female customer at a hot pot restaurant after the waiter caught the woman complaining about his bad service onSina-weibo.

(1) .One is immediately seen as selfless and helpful when one volunteer to help out someone such as a friend,teacher or parent. (2) ,when you help a teacher to clean the classroom or get involved in a cleanliness campaign at the school level or other community projects.Teachers and adults would look at a young person who volunteers his or her time for certain activities as mature,responsible and deserving of respect.In addition,volunteering with an organization such as orphanages,community centers and other non-profit organizations allows you to interact with society at large.In addition to helping these organizations carry out their duties,you not only gain experience but can learn a variety of skills.(3) .Even though they are not being paid,through volunteering time,effort and skills,they would learn more than what money can buy.(4) .For example,if you volunteer your time regularly at a charity organization,you would learn how the organization works and the importance of teamwork,and other essential ideas related to the day-to-day operations of the organizations.Thus,with so many benefits,students,in particular,should be allowed to participate in volunteer activities.

The Bermuda native is in the midst of a trip that will take him to every state in the nation,mowing lawns (修剪草坪).Five years ago,Smith came across a senior man mowing his lawn and stopped to help. “When I came across the elderly man,my life changed,” he said. After that,Smith went on to create the Raising Men Lawn Care Service (RMLCS)to mow lawns for the elderly,disabled,single moms and former soldiers free of charge. As part of providing free yard work,the organization teaches children about serving their communities and lawnmower safety.A key component of RMLCS is its 50-yard challenge,which sets a goal for children nationwide to mow 50 lawns for free in their community. When a kid signs up for the challenge,the group sends him/her a white shirt with the Raising Men logo (标识),shades and ear protection. The participants receive a different colored shirt after every 10th lawn they mow. When they have completed the task for 50 yards,they receive a special visit from Smith or someone with RMLCS. They give the volunteer a new lawnmower,free of charge,and cut other lawns with them.Since this challenge started,12 kids have already completed the challenge. And both boys and girls are part of it. At present they have 130 kids nationwide taking part in this challenge,including 7 in Bermuda and the UK and one in Canada. So its spreading worldwide. Even the Queen of England took notice—the governor of Bermuda presented Smith with an award late last year on behalf of her.It was also last year that Smith came up with the 50 States 50 Lawns campaign. Now hes on the road again.4. What is the purpose of the RMLCS?A. To educate children to work hard.B. To offer free lawn cutting service.C. To make high-quality lawnmowers.D. To train professional lawn mowing workers.5. What is the reward for a child to complete the 50-yard challenge?A. A visit to RMLCS.B. the Raising Men logo.C. A white shirt and ear protection.D. A new lawnmower from RMLCS.6. Why is the Queen of England mentioned in the text?A. To praise the Queen for her care.B. To prove that Smith is respected by everyone.C. To show that Smiths behavior got recognized.D. To introduce where Smiths motivation came from.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Mow Lawns in Order to TravelB. Lawn Mowing—a New TrendC. Choose Mowing Lawns to HelpD. Smith—a Man Loving Mowing LawnsIf you ask most people what water tastes like,they’ll probably tell you that water has no taste and they may give you a funny look. But if you were a fruit fly,asking another fruit fly,that question might have a different answer.To a fruit fly,water has a taste. Scientists want to know how the fruit fly knows water because this information may help in learning how other animals—or even individual cells—manage to use water in the right way. Water is vital to life,but too much or too little can be deadly to a living creature. So by understanding how the fruit fly tastes water,researchers may learn more about other living things.According to the new study,a protein (蛋白质)called PPK28 makes it possible for a fruit fly to taste water. Proteins build cells and tissues,fight disease and carry messages between cells. It’s not surprising that a protein is responsible for the fruit flies ability to taste water.The PPK28 protein is part of a larger family of similar proteins. One of these related proteins is used by mammals (including humans)to taste salt. Scientists have not found a protein that enables humans to “taste” water.In the experiment,Cameron and his team compared normal fruit flies with fruit flies whose taste cells had been disabled. The fruit flies were given aspecial chemical that would glow when the fly used the PPK28 protein. Then the scientists led the flies to water. When the normal flies tasted the water,the PPK28 protein lit up—showing that it was in use.The fruit fly in particular is so interesting that some scientists are hard at work creating a complete map of the fruit fly brain. This map will show all of a flies neurons (神经元)and help scientists understand how the neurons work together.8. How do most people feel when asked about the taste of water?A. Amused.B. Frightened.C. Disappointed.D. Confused.9. Why do scientists want to know how the fruit fly knows water?A. To decrease the number of the fruit fly.B. To know something about other creatures.C. To learn to use water correctly.D. To describe the taste of water.10. What do we know about the PPK28 protein?A. It enables humans to taste salt.B. The fruit fly can’t live without it.C. It enables the fruit fly to taste water.D. The fruit fly uses it to avoid illnesses.11. What will the scientists continue to work at?A. Studying the fruit flies neuron systems.B. Finding more information about cells.C. Creating maps of human brains.D. Making the PPK28 protein.If you buy a washing machine,a fridge or a television in Europe,it comes with a sticker. Thanks to a 1992 EU rule,all appliances (电器)must be labeled (贴标签)with their energy efficiency. So why has our food system—which threatens 10,000 species with extinction,produces about 30% of greenhouse gases,and drives 800% of our air pollution—only ever had voluntary eco-labels?The appliances ruling had a huge impact (冲击力); initially,75% of fridges and freezers were rated G to D (low efficiency),but today 98% are classed A++ or A+++. Worldwide,the energy efficiency of labeled applianceshas increased three times faster than appliances without labels. Introducing an equal system for food could have an even bigger impact.Mandatory environmental labels would change how we produce and consume in far-reaching ways. First,producers would have to measure their impacts in a uniform way and be accountable for the results. This would not be expensive:it is free to monitor environmental impacts using digital tools such as Field print and the Cool Farm Tool. Second,they support sustainable consumption. Our research found that products that look,taste and cost the same can have dramatically different environmental impacts. High-impact beef producers use 5,7000% more land and create l,000% more greenhouse gases than low-impact producers. Labels would allow consumers to tell these products apart.They would highlight both high-and low-impact producers,in the same way,across multiple products. This would encourage more people to think about their choices by exposing them to the facts every time they are in the shops. We can also use labels to turn smaller consumer changes into large environmental benefits:because a small number of producers create a large share of the impact,simply avoiding high-impact producers can make a huge contribution to pollution reductions.12. Why does the author mention the appliances in Paragraph 1?A. To applaud the 1992 EU rule.B. To bring up the topic of labeling food.C. To point out the pollution they caused.D. To compare their energy consumption rates.13. What do the figures in Paragraph 2 show?A. The importance of saving energy.B. The debate about eco-labeled appliances.C. The effectiveness of the appliances ruling.D. The problem caused by appliances of low efficiency.14. What does the underlined word “Mandatory” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Compulsory.B. Effective.C. Different.D. Independent.15. Why are eco-labels used for products?A. To increase the profits of low-impact producers.B. To show producers environmental impacts.C. To guide consumers to buy healthier food.D. To expose consumers to more products.答案1—5 DCBBD 6—10 CCABC 11—15 ABCAB阅读七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
