2023-2024学年黑龙江省哈尔滨市第九中学高二下学期6月月考英语试题The Summer Science Program is an independent nonprofit, the only summer program operated, governed, and largely funded by its former participants and teachers, which is proof of its impact on young people for more than six decades. Many participants call it “the educational experience of a lifetime.”What can SSP offer?SSP offers teens an exciting and inspiring immersion into hands-on experimental science. Working in teams of three, 36 participants and 7 teachers form a supportive “living and learning community” over 39 days. Each team completes a real research project, taking and analyzing original data. Afterward, they join a worldwide network of 2,500+ alumni of all ages.In 2024 we will operate six programs:•three in Astrophysics: research in near-earth asteroid orbit determination at New Mexico State Univ., Univ. of Colorado Boulder, and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.•two in Biochemi stry: research in fungal crop pathogens at Purdue Univ. and Indiana Univ.•one in Genomics: research in evolution of antibiotic resistance, at Indiana Univ.Is SSP for you? SSP is open to current high school juniors (and a few truly exceptional sophomores) who have completed the pre-requisites by summer, and will be at least 15 years old, but not yet 19, during the program.Key Dates for 2024 ProgramsA．create hands-on science projects for teens B．support a living and learning communityC．collect and study data to carry out a project D．become part of a global alumni association2.

An overseas student had better submit the application before ______.A．February B．March C．April D．DecemberRecently, a set of video clips (片段) featuring a man showcasing umbrellas with various creative designs has gone viral on the Internet, even spreading overseas and attracting foreign netizens with the unimaginable “Chinese creativity”, CCTV news reported.In the clips, there are shining laser (激光) reflective umbrellas to dispel darkness, umbrellas with floor-length plastic curtains to prevent one’s clothes from getting wet, twin umbrellas specially designed for couples and many others. All of them are made by the man in the clips, Lei Penglin.38-year-old Lei has operated an umbrella factory in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. Netizens affectionately call him “uncle” due to his performances in the clips.In 2014, Lei established his own factory. At first, his factory received thousands of orders. However, as the competition intensified, Lei had to explore new opportunities. He found that creative and unique products always stood out. Therefore, Lei started to infuse creative ideas into the products and, in 2022, his umbrella with an attached flashlight gained popularity. “Consumers pursue personalized products. So the umbrellas have to function as decorations aside from just preventing sunshine and rain,” Lei said.In the comment section of the product videos, Lei noticed an interesting request with many likes, suggesting to him to make a reflective umbrella for walking in the dark. Following the advice, Lei created the “laser reflective umbrella”, selling over 70,000 units once upon release. From then on, Lei started to attach great importance to comments to absorb new ideas.Presently, Lei spends several hours reading comments every day. “Basically 300 to 500 comments a day, I will read and reply to them all by myself. Only by carefully observing can I know everyone’s need, and solve the after-selling problems on time,” he said. Several products developed based on the comments have been on shelf. “Almost all the umbrellas made so far can be sold; none have suffered loss,” Lei introduced.In the future, Lei hopes to make some Chinese-style umbrellas that can be paired with Han-style clothing. “I want to try something new and also advocate for our Chinese culture,” Lei added.4. What is the feature of Lei’s umbrellas?A．Conventional. B．Innovative. C．Unimaginative. D．Durable.5. What does the underlined word “infuse” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Divide. B．Burst. C．Integrate. D．Emerge.6. What is Lei’s attitude towards his future career?A．Uncertain. B．Indifferent.C．Dissatisfied. D．Optimistic.7. What contributes most to Lei’s success according to the author?A．Promoting his products through social media.B．Paying attention to customers’ comments and needs.C．Seeking uniqueness to compete with other producers.D．Adding elements of traditional culture to his products.I've been conducting scientific research with experts who specialise in advanced microscopy (显微镜观察) at Nottingham University for more than ten years. But I'm not a scientist—I'm an artist and lecture r in illustration.Despite their importance in education and society, science and art are often seen as distinct fields, which, in my opinion, restricts beneficial connections. I want to facilitate these connections by helping to make sense of scientists' work for a wider audience through my own work as an artist. I have seen the enormous potential that exists when scientists and artists work together.Like advanced imaging specialists, I am absorbed in light, colour, technology and science. When I discovered the Wellcome Trust's Sci-Art project in 1998, its belief—to facilitate connections that produce art directly inspired by science—encouraged me to seek out life scientists to collaborate (协作) with, because the methods we employ to create images are connected.Advanced microscopy is used to observe cells that the naked eye (裸眼) cannot see, while being as gentle as possible on the object being examined. My work focuses on the imaging potential of the biomedical data revealed through advanced microscopy. This artistic expression of scientists’ data can provide them with tools for showing their work in a different way to a different audience. For example, I work with scientists while they conduct image experiments, to discover how and why they generate image data of cell behaviour.Inspired by watching these scientists at work I create data pictures, seeing unique patterns, wonderful colours and movement through layers of skin at this carefully enlarged size. I then display my artwork along with advanced microscopy photographs at scientific conferences to compare results and highlight the aesthetic (类学的) potential of scientific data from an artist's viewpoint.I've worked with four science labs since 2010. Over a decade of combining science and art, I've discovered three major advantages to such collaborations. The variety of collaborations increased my appreciation for technical advances in scientific visualisation. They inspire both scientists and artists to think creatively. They contribute to making science more accessible to the general public.8. What role does the author play between science and art?A．A judge. B．A promoter. C．A guard. D．A leader.9. How did the Wellcome Trust's Sci-Art project impact the author?A．It inspired her to become a life scientist. B．It strengthened her belief in sharing andcaring.C．It got her to approach scientists for cooperation. D．It generated her interest in light and colour.10. What does the author's work involve?A．Collecting the biomedical data. B．Keeping track of cell behaviour.C．Conducting image experiments. D．Presenting data in an artistic manner. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Every science lab should have an artist on the teamB．It takes time to facilitate scientist-artist collaborationsC．Advanced microscopy inspires scientists to think criticallyD．Science should contribute to a variety of new art techniquesA new book makes the argument for being a careful kind of writer, even in informal, throwaway messages. Todd Rogers and Jessica Lasky-Fink are behavioral scientists, both at Harvard. Their Writing for Busy Readers is cleverly titled: all readers are busy nowadays. They present well-established principles that have long been prized in guides to writing including The Economist's style book: cut unnecessary words, choose those that remain from the vocabulary everyone knows and keep sentence structure simple. But Writing for Busy Readers brings evidence.Take “less is more”. Most books on writing well advise readers to cut needless words. The authors, however, have tested the principle. For example, in an email to thousands of school board members asking them to take a survey, cutting the length from 127 to 49words almost doubled the response rate. The same applies to text messages. In another experiment, a shorter message inviting parents to take the survey got more responses.Besides word-count, sentence structure and word choice are covered in the book. Short and active sentences, with common words, are best. The authors' other point s are less about writing than about design and information al packaging. Bullet points (项目符号), headings and formatting for emphasis are good—when used with care. But mixing up different forms of emphasis like highlighting, bold and italics (粗体和斜体的) is the “equal of a peanut butter, ham and Gorgonzola sandwich on banana bread: this combination adds up to an unpleasant, off-putting whole”.If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer, too. That may make it appealing to fire off as many messages as quickly as possible and hope for the best. But from essays to text messages organizing dinner plans, devoting time to the needs of readers has provable benefits. If you are so busy that you write an undisciplined message that readers ignore and delete, then you might as well have not written it at all.12. What could be inferred from paragraph 1 about Writing for Busy Readers?A．It lays down principles for busy readers. B．It approaches writing as a science.C．It advocates writing simply. D．It is aimed at title writing.13. In what way is Writing for Busy Readers different from most books?A．It advises readers to cut needless words. B．It has adopted an evidence-basedapproach.C．It has overturned established writingD．It promotes the use of common words.principles.14. How do Rogers and Lasky-Fink look at the forms of emphasis?A．They should be combined in use. B．They could bring undesired effects.C．They matter less than sentence structure. D．They are key to informational packaging.15. What might the author suggest we do when we write?A．Prioritize readers. B．Try to polish the writing.C．Disregard word-count. D．Learn to change styles.How to overcome travel anxietyStress and anxiety around documents and procedures of travel is common.
