It was already in good shape, but I dreamed of creating a defining corporation of the 21st century, proud of its root, yet global and responsible in the shifting times.For months, I quietly read all I could about the big social trends influencing business. I walked the market, and examined employees’ feedback. I also dug deep into the obligations of public corporations. From all of this emerged a vision for the company that guided us for the next dozen years or so. I called it “Performance with Purpose”. The goal was to deliver great financial returns, as we always had, with three additional clear objects: to nourish humanity and the communities, to protect our environment and to cherish our people.My motivation was wholly to “future proof”, or de-risk. And it worked. In my 12 years as CEO, total shareholder return was 149%, and net profit jumped 80%. We cut the salt, fat, and sugar in so da and chips, added more healthful brands and products, and lowered the amount of water needed. We kept innovation going and our design studios won many awards. Our talent academy was so brilliant that nine senior managers left to take CEO jobs elsewhere.I believe that leaders must think from the future back, even when things are going fine. And we now have a framework to help: the evolving templates (模板) for environmental, social, and governance metrics (ESG衡量标准) that, in essence, serve to de-risk companies and markets. These criteria force discussion of hard truths for anyone with the ambition to stay relevant in the long term. If the metrics are carefully selected, ESG is not contrary to investors’ interests. Importantly, de-risking the company actually creates shareholder value.“Performance with Purpose” presented tough moments for me, including when one investor questioned, “Who do you think you are? A philanthropist (慈善家)?” But skepticism faded when a collective mission took hold that included both the bottom line and much beyond. This was my hope from the start.4．The author’s new vision for the company came from _________.A．its unique cultural root B．her thorough researchC．customers’ fundamental needs D．shareholders’ strong requirements 5．According to “Performance with Purpose”, an ideal company should _________.A．shift its strategies properly B．value employees’ feedbackC．shoulder social responsibility D．prioritize financial returns6．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The risks a company may face.B．The author’s ambition to create value.C．The interests investors seek after.D．The author’s recipe for successful business. 7．As CEO, the author can be best described as _________.A．inspiring and warm-hearted B．determined and far-sightedC．ambitious and generous D．modest and strategicIn 2022, the Nature Conservancy launched two 5-year pilot projects at working ranches (牧场) in Kansas and New Mexico to determine if virtual fences enable land managers to betterperform regenerative management practices and to assess potential benefits for biodiversity and for ranchers’ bottom lines, as well as impacts on soil carbon storage.Applauded by the U. S. Department of Agriculture as a climate adaption strategy, virtual fencing is an innovative technology that enables ranchers to use a smartphone or web app to remotely monitor and control where and when cattle graze (吃草). Virtual fences can reduce the need for physical fences, which require significant time, expense and labor to maintain. Physical fences also limit land managers in their ability to change grazing boundaries to adapt to seasonal changes in vegetation or to exclude cattle from ecologically sensitive areas.The cows are outfitted with battery-operated, GPS-enabled collars that send out a radio frequency to communicate with reception towers, creating virtual grazing boundaries set by a rancher. When a cow approaches the edge of the virtual boundary, the collar produces a sound suggesting it turning around. If the cow proceeds to cross the boundary, it receives a momentary mild shock, indicating that it’s gone too far and should rejoin its group.Grasslands are the least protected habitat on earth and one of the most effective carbon sinks, storing up to 20%of the world’s soil organic carbon. Unfortunately, grasslands are continuing to rapidly disappear for several reasons. For ecological health, most grassland ecosystems need periods of disturbance to aerate (使透气) the soil, stimulate plant growth and recycle nutrients into the soil. Ranchers complete this disturbance-rest cycle by managing the timing, location, herd size and intensity of grazing activities, all of which can be time-consuming and painstaking.“Currently, the costs of virtual fencing are still high, but in the long run it can help land managers better carry out management practices that regenerate land health, help address climate change and biodiversity loss,” said William Burnidge, director of the Nature Conservancy. 8．What’s stressed concerning virtual fencing in paragraph 2?A．Its smart design.B．Its wide application.C．Its major advantages.D．Its working principles.9．What does the mild shock signal to the cow?A．It’s time to graze.B．It’s time to return.C．It’s in danger.D．It’s in a wrong direction.10．What’s unavoidable for ranchers to complete the disturbance-rest cycle?A．Polluted soil.B．Intense efforts.C．Financial failure.D．Ecological imbalance.11．What’s Mr. Burnidge’s attitude to virtual fencing?A．Objective.B．Intolerant.C．Dismissive.D．Conservative.You might not think that an AI capable of making music would stimulate your emotion, but others think differently, particularly those who gathered at Mexico City’s Symphony Hall in 2019 for Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony, which I finished using melodies generated by an AI.As the orchestra (管弦乐团) finished Schubert’s original work and began the music the AI and I had written, I could feel the crowd’s energy shift from astonishment to indignation and fear. They seemed afraid that an AI might be able to make emotional symphonic music. You can see their point: an AI that makes emotional music could affect the emotional lives of thousands or even millions of people in a small, but profound way, just like a human musician does.Positive and negative, people reacted very strongly to AI’s symphonic debut (首秀). Even though most people don’t believe that AI can create something enjoyable, they, at least partly, did enjoy the Unfinished Symphony.Enjoyment in music implies that there’s something in the music that the listener connects to, a perception of shared emotion. But, in the case of AI music, an emotion shared with who? AI, as of yet, has no emotions. So what is the meaning of music made without an emotional composer? The unsatisfying answer is that music has no objective meaning. A composer can decide how a piece of music sounds, but it’s the listener that decides what it means.No matter how it’s created, music doesn’t exist in a vacuum (真空) to the listener. The meaning we assign to music depends on its context — how the piece connects to other elements in our lives. Without context, music is like the results of a game whose rules have been lost. The context for a music is part of who you are. The music is emotional to you because you have the context to appreciate it. As it continues to evolve, AI music will develop its own context. Certainly, it’ll be different from human-made music. It’ll mix existing genres to create new ones; it’ll combine instruments that we wouldn’t think of combining. Its rules will be different.I’m now always asked the same question: “Who put the emotion in that music: you, the composer, or the AI?” But that’s not the question they really want to ask, though. There’s a deeperquestion that most people are too afraid to ask right now: “Are my emotions so simple that they can be maneuvered by a machine?”In my experience, this could be possible one day. If a modestly capable music AI in 2019 could stir up emotions of an audience, maybe AI can have a more powerful effect on our emotional lives than we’d like to admit.12．The audience reacted strongly to the symphony mainly due to ______.A．their doubts about AI’s capabilities B．their uneasiness about AI’s influenceC．the orchestra’s brilliant presentation of AI music D．the likeness between AI music and the original work13．What might the author agree with?A．AI poses little impact on people’s emotions.B．Music bears no intended emotional meaning.C．AI music will outperform human-made music.D．The context reflects people’s interpretation of music.14．What does the word “maneuvered” underlined in Paragraph 6 most probably mean?A．Refreshed.B．Challenged.C．Revealed.D．Directed. 15．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Are Composers To Be Replaced?B．Would AI Music Be a Rising Trend?C．Could AI Make Music That Moves You?D．Was the Unfinished Symphony Successful?While technology addicts teens to their devices, they are not helpless against the draw of it. Here are five ways educators can support their students’ digital well-being.Explore design tricks companies use. The technology we use daily is designed to catch and hold our attention. Companies know what keeps our eyes on the screen. To help, teachers can unpack design tricks and explain how companies employ features like auto-play to get users to stay on their apps. 16Talk about how technology can increase feelings of anxiety. The decline in youth mental health is associated with an increase in social media use. 17 We can help our students by allowing them to consider the benefits of technology and then to think about changing the habits that aren’t serving their well-being.18 Social media can bring the feeling: “All my friends have better lives than me.” Plus, design features like “read receipts” can lead to teens knowing their messages have been seen and stressing about why friends haven’t yet replied. These are classic examples of thinking traps. Identifying them can help teens get rid of some negative thoughts.Uncover the ways that AI can play a role in misinformation. AI is rapidly transforming the world. Recommendation algorithms (算法), which determine what we do and do not see on our feeds and in our search results, can have very real consequences. 19 By understanding how these technologies work, students can start to enjoy more benefits of technology.Encourage families to have meaningful conversations with their child. Take the time to share with families the topics and resources you’re teaching in class. 20 Knowing we’re all in the same boat is crucial.A．Social media is ruining our life.B．Connect them with their inner world.C．Build their awareness of thinking traps.D．This by no means indicates all technology is bad.E．They can pull us toward increasingly extreme views.F．It turns out adults and kids all pursue digital well-being.G．Knowing these can motivate students to get back their attention.二、完形填空When Shelby Lattimore, a math and science teacher, saw her third graders weren’t attending class, she found a fun way to change that. The 25-year-old teacher started her class 21 to encourage them not only to 22 but to get excited about learning.In the class, students can choose from a variety of “ 23 ” from being a door holder to being a cleanup crew. They get “paid” every two weeks and the 24 they get depends on which job they take on. The money is not real but play money spent on a homework pass, a seat change, and so on.Each month, Lattimore’s students also have to pay “rent” for their class desk and chair. To keep things interesting, Lattimore also introduced a new 25 to her current class. At thebeginning of the school year, she 26 students $5 and then once the new year hit, the 27 increased to $7. “So that was kind of an 28 that they had to make,” she said.Students can buy rewards once a month. The reward 29 low, medium and high price ranges, with $2 candy being the cheapest option to a more 30 $5 “lunch with Ms. L” reward. Students can also 31 to “take someone’s job” for $20 or work up toward the most expensive reward, being the teacher for $30.Today, Lattimore has seen how much they’ve learned about various 32 from budgeting and saving to reading a receipt and 33 change. She has also heard from students’ families, who are 34 of this idea because their kids are learning something they never learned at this age. “That’s really the goal here, to not just 35 them this year, but to keep it going,” she added.21．A．report B．economy C．interaction D．survey 22．A．get through B．take over C．set out D．show up 23．A．tools B．areas C．jobs D．parts 24．A．amount B．outcome C．position D．honour 25．A．term B．test C．choice D．idea 26．A．awarded B．charged C．returned D．refused 27．A．bonus B．fine C．rent D．income 28．A．appearance B．exception C．adjustment D．impression 29．A．covers B．reveals C．follows D．combines 30．A．general B．expensive C．suitable D．tasty 31．A．save up B．settle down C．go around D．move on 32．A．opinions B．roles C．comments D．skills 33．A．sharing B．donating C．spending D．counting 34．A．careful B．supportive C．tolerant D．aware 35．A．accept B．praise C．impact D．bless三、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(一个单词) 或括号内单词的正确形式。

ATraveling to popular destinations can often mean dealing with large crowds, long lines, and a less authentic experience. To truly immerse yourself in the culture and natural beauty of a place, consider venturing off the beaten path. By bypassing welltrodden tourist spots, you can uncover lesserknown locales that offer a more serene and enriching travel experience.WHEN IN ICELAND, BYPASS THE BLUE LAGOONIs it the steamy social media shot or a hot spring experience you’re after? Iceland offers both in multiple locations beyond the Blue Lagoon. The Land of Fire and Ice is home to innumerable streams, springs, rivers, and lakes that make for incredibly relaxing settings to soak in. You can escape the throngs of tourists and still enjoy the same kind of aquamarinecolored water at Myvatn Nature Baths in northern Iceland. Traveling farther afield not only means fewer people in the pools but also increases your chances of catching sight of the Northern Lights.SAVE VENICE AND HEAD FOR SLOVENIA INSTEADIt’s no secret that Venice and its residents are struggling with tourism. And we can’t blame them. The impact of boatloads of travelers — around 60,000 visitors that descend on this fragile city each day — has transformed it from its former status of “La Serenissima” (“most serene”) into anything but. Throngs of people, overcrowded canals, damaged ecosystems, skyrocketing rents, and authentic artisan shops replaced by cheap souvenir stores have dramatically changed the quality of life, forcing out some thousand residents each year and threatening the city’s UNESCO status. If you love Venice, do the Floating City a favor and let it go for now. If you really can’t do without waterways, head further west to Ljubljana, where you can cruise to your heart’s content on the jadecolored river that winds through this friendly, ecoconscious capital city.SKIP BALI AND HEAD TO RAJA AMPATLong revered as a significant spiritual sanctuary, Bali in recent years has been overrun by tourists. The intense uptick in tourists has led to an increase in prices, crowds, and strain on natural resources —and consequently a decline in the quality of life and experiences for locals and visitors alike. Indonesia is made up of thousands of islands, so you won’t even have to leave the archipelago to find an alternative. Beckoning with idyllic, whitesand beaches and thriving reefs, the Raja Ampat Islands are heaven on Earth. Whether you’re an underwater enthusiast, want to stroll through the jungle and spot tropical birds and wildlife, or simply desire a peaceful place to kick back and relax, you’ll find all the serenity you seek — and none of the crowds — here.1. What additional benefit does visiting the Myvatn Nature Baths offer pared to the Blue Lagoon?A. Higher water temperatures.B. More luxurious facilities.C. Closer proximity to the capital of the country.D. Increased chances of seeing the polar lights.2. Which of the following statements is true about the impact of tourism on Venice?A. Tourism has had little effect on Venice’s economy.B. Tourism has caused rents to decrease significantly.C. Tourism has led to the closure of many artisan shops.D. Tourism has improved the quality of life for most Venetians.3. What makes the Raja Ampat Islands a good alternative to Bali?A. They are more developed and have more luxury resorts.B. They are closer to major cities and easier to access.C. They offer a more serene environment with fewer crowds.D. They have a similar level of mercialization and activity.BMore than a million people have reportedly tried out ChatGPT, a new chatbot from the research lab OpenAI. Users can ask it questions, or submit prompts for poems, term papers, or essays. “It makes mistakes,” Calum Chace, the author and expert on AI told us, “and copies from the Internet. But the speed and quality is remarkable.”A user asked ChatGPT to write a poem about childhood. Within seconds, it sent back these lines: “Childhood, a time of wonders, a time of joy and fun...” and went on to invoke trees, mud pies, innocence, and the sound of cicadas. What, no puppies?Katha Pollitt, one of America’s great poets and critics, read that poem and said, “Cliche d and tiresome. I don’t think Auden has to worry about his laurels.” Some asked ChatGPT to conjure a verse about bagels (圆形面包) in the style of William Shakespeare. “It’s a bagel, a round delight;” the chatbot burped back—“a breakfast treat to make us bri ght; a crisp, chewy texture to please; a sprinkle of sesame for ease…”Katha Pollitt wasn’t impressed. “No wordplay or anything to think about. The bot has not had any experiences or emotions, and no imagination. It has no sense of the multiple meanings and resonances of words. So how could it write a good poem?”It is inviting to end with that critical slamdunk from a great poet to dismiss chatbots that write, draw, or soon, I’m sure, talk like a radio host. But Calum Chace cautions that Artificial Intelligence software will keep learning. It has no human experiences, but also no human foibles, like exhaustion, distraction, anxiety, or forgetfulness. Humans may soon bee, he says, “the secondsmartest species on the planet. It will be the most important event in human history. Bar none. The oute may well be fabulous for humanity, but that is not guaranteed.” So be polite to bots. Maybe they’ll remember us kindly when their day arrives.4. According to Calum Chace, what are some limitations of ChatGPT?A. It cannot make mistakes.B. It lacks accuracy and originality.C. It cannot produce highquality content.D. It needs to improve the speed to generate responses.5. How did Katha Pollitt react to the poem about childhood generated by ChatGPT?A. She thought it was a masterpiece.B. She was impressed by the originality.C. She found it plain and not interesting.D. She considered it a challenge to traditional poetry.6. What does the underlined word “foible” mean in the last paragraph?A. meritB. appearanceC. shortingD. behavior7. What advice does the author give regarding our interaction with AI in the future?A. We should be cautious and avoid using AI.B. We should treat AI with respect and politeness.C. We should focus on developing AI’s emotional intelligence.D. We should ensure that AI never surpasses human intelligence.C“The Seine is the river that made Paris”, said The New York Times. Being the main river of Paris, the Seine River collects the remains of human progress and civilization over time. Over the centuries, it has functioned as a protective barrier, a water source, a drainage system and a place for washing clothes, National Geographic reported.Many of the city’s iconic landmarks and structures, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and Place de la Concorde, are situated along its banks. The famous French artist Claude Monet dedicated his life to painting the Seine from various perspectives. One of them is The Banks of the Seine,Ile de la Grande Jatte, which shows the river in pink, white, and blue.Today, both residents and tourists flock to the Seine’s riverbanks for sightseeing, shopping, dining, or simply to enjoy the city’s bustling atmosphere.However, Paris has faced many challenges in its efforts to clean up the Seine in time for the 2024 Olympics. The river will play a significant role in the opening ceremony of the Games, and will be the venue for the triathlon and swimming marathon events.In the 17th century, swimming in the Seine was very popular. But for the last hundred years, it has been prohibited due to health and safety concerns. Over the past decade, Paris has invested about 1.4 billion euros (about 11 billion yuan) on a project to restore the river’s ecosystem and ensure its safety. The primary goal is to make the river suitable for bathing by 2025, with the Paris Games boosting that aim.However, test results in April still showed high levels of bacteria in the collected samples from the river, according to a French water charity.The city built a giant storage basin capable of holding 46,000 cubic meters of waste water to significantly reduce the risks of pollution in the Seine. The basin is 30 meters deep, the size of a dozen Olympic swimming pools. Once the rain is collected, it will be moved through a tunnel to a treatment plant. When the water in the basin meets the required health criteria it will then be poured into the Seine.“It’s feasible to clean up a river because the water’s flowing,” Ted Steiner, professor of medicine at the University of British Columbia, Canada, told Global News. “Especially if you’ve got the appropriate volume of water running through the river, things get diluted to a point where there’s not a whole lot of risk.”8. What role has the Seine played in the history of Paris?A. It functioned as a trade route for importing goods.B. It served as a defence and provided a water supply.C. It was used exclusively for recreational activities.D. It was the site of numerous battles and military conflicts.9. What challenges has Paris faced in its efforts to clean up the Seine for the 2024 Olympics?A. High levels of bacteria in the river.B. Limited funding for the project.C. Resistance from local residents.D. Difficulty finding suitable venues for events.10. What is the primary goal of the cleanup project for the Seine River?A. To make the river suitable for boating activities.B. To reestablish the river’s ecosystem and maintain its purity for bathing.C. To attract more tourists to the riverbanks.D. To create a new habitat for aquatic wildlife.11. According to Ted Steiner, what makes cleaning up a river like the Seine practicable?A. The sufficient natural flow of the river.B. The use of advanced water filtration technologies.C. The construction of barriers to prevent pollution.D. The implementation of strict environmental regulations.DHow are we supposed to work out what to listen to? Yes, you can “save” an album to your “library”, but the fact that you haven’t spent any money on it makes this “library” feel impersona l and superficial, while the fact that there is no album sleeve（唱片封面）to peruse or acknowledgments to read lessens the sense of connection with the music and the artist. Likewise, opening a PDF version of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude carries none of the excitement of finding it after a long search in a dusty library. The lack of any friction in these processes is deeply unsatisfying, while the overavailability of everything, as any dating expert will confirm, lessens our desire for it. Witness, then, the revival of all sorts of oldschool formats that allow us to regain the sense that we can tangibly “own” things, and that give us a rare opportunity to limit our horizons. Fairly well known by now is the resurgence of vinyl (黑胶唱片): UK sales rose for the 16th consecutive year in 2023 to 5.9mn records, the highest level since 1990. And despite ebooks’ portability and convenience, almost four printed books were sold in the UK for every ebook in 2022, according to Nielsen. One might imagine that this is all being driven by old fogeys missing the Good Old Days, but the opposite is true.In a Harris Poll in 2023, a staggering 77 per cent of Americans aged 35~54, and 63 per cent of 18to34yearolds, said they’d like to return to a time when humanity was “unplugged” (only 60 per cent of the over55s agreed).Younger buyers are also leading the resurgence in vinyl and cassette tapes,having missed them the first time round. We weren’t designed to have the output of all of human history at our fin gertips, nor to be contactable at all times —but that is the situation we now find ourselves in, and it’s both a great privilege and a curse.12. According to the passage, why does the author believe the revival of old formats is appealing to people?A. It provides a more convenient way to listen to music.B. It allows for easier access to digital copies of albums.C. It increases the overavailability of music, making it more desirable.D. It offers a tangible form of ownership and a sense of connection to the music.13. How does the passage pare the experience of reading a PDF book to that of finding a physical book in a library?A. Reading a PDF book is more exciting.B. Reading a PDF book lacks the thrill of discovery.C. Finding a physical book is more convenient.D. Finding a physical book is less satisfying.14. According to the passage, why do younger buyers lead the resurgence in vinyl and cassette tapes?A. They are nostalgic for the past.B. They find digital music too expensive.C.

山东省潍坊市大联考2024-2025学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Mathematics for Computer ScienceThis subject offers an introduction to discrete mathematics(离散数学)oriented toward computer science and engineering.Course Meeting TimesLectures:3 sessions/week, 1. 5 hour/session Problem Sets (psets)Problem sets account for 20% of the final grade. Making a reasonable effort on the problem sets is, for most students, crucial for mastering the course material. Problem sets are designed to be completed in at most 3 hours; the time is monitored through student reports. Online Feedback ProblemsOnline problems to be completed before most class meetings are posted on the class website. These consist of straightforward questions that provide useful feedback about the assigned material. Some students prefer to try the online problems before reading the text or watching videos as an advance guide to going over the material; that’s fine. Watching designated videos, or at least looking at the lecture-slide handouts, is generally helpful but optional.Like team problem-solving in class, online problems are graded only on participation: Students receive full credit as long as they try the problem, even if their answer is wrong. Online feedback problems account for 10% of the final grade. Midterm ExamsThree 80-minute midterm exams will be given. The midterm exams each account for 15%of the final grade.Midterm questions will typically be variations of prior problems from class and psets, and the best way to prepare is to review on the published solutions to these problems. The first exam covers all previous weeks’ material;subsequent exams focus on the material after the previous exam. Final ExamThere will be a three-hour final exam. This exam is worth 25% of the final class grade. The final exam will cover the entire subject with somewhat greater emphasis on material from after Midterm 3. Most exam questions will be variants of problems assigned during the term(psets,class, midterm, and online). It may include a few questions which combine topics that were originally covered separately.1．What determines students’ grade in Online Feedback Problems?A．Active involvement.B．Submission time.C．Accuracy of answers.D．Completion of assignments2．What is the main focus of the final exam?A．Variants of problem sets.B．Combined topics in class.C．The content after midterm exams.D．The whole-term course materials. 3．Which of the following weighs the most in the final grade?A．Final Exam.B．Midterm Exams.C．Problem Sets.D．Online Feedback ProblemsIt all started with a simple question;“Can I paint your portrait (肖像)?”In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson was reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by a homeless man. Inspired by the book, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris who failed to pursue a career in music and ended up being homeless.“I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year, had overgrown fingernails, and probably hadn’t had a shower in close to a year. ”Even though Peterson hadn’t pioked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he asked if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris said yes.Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Working from a black-and-white photo of the subject, Peterson chooses colors inspired by the subject’s personality and life story, creating an impressive portrait.Peterson sells the striking artwork, signed by both subject and artist, dividing the proceeds and putting half into what he calls a“love account”for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. Many of Peterson’s new friends use the donations to secure immediate necessities. But Peterson has learned not to make assumptions about what a personneeds most. “I’ve made a mistake thinking I knew what people wanted, ” he says, “but why don’t we just ask them?”Peterson has discovered that there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who’s down and out. The buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now, ’ ”Peterson says.4．What brought Peterson and Faris together?A．Beauty on Faris’ face.B．Inspiration from a book.C．Peterson’s passion for art.D．Faris’ suffering in his life.5．What does the underlined word “mistake” in paragraph 5 refer to?A．Selling the homeless’ portraits for profits.B．Giving instant necessities to the homeless.C．Asking the homeless for their needs directly.D．Taking what the homeless want for granted.6．What does Peterson imply in the last paragraph?A．The homeless are gaining more concern.B．The life of the homeless is different now.C．Buyers value friendship with the homeless.D．Figures in Peterson’s paintings are popular.7．What can we learn from this text?A．A good model is key to a fine artwork.B．An expected decision makes a great artist.C．A picture really is worth a thousand words.D．Each unfortunate person has his own misfortune.The Malagasy baobab tree, whose thick trunks and tiny branches dot Madagascar’s landscape, should not, by rights, have survived to the present day. Scientists believe that its large seeds were once spread by the giant tortoises and lemur monkeys that wandered the island. When these species went extinct over one thousand years ago owing to human activity, the baobab treeshould have disappeared too. It did not. Seheno Andriantsaralaza at the University of Antananarivo and Onja Razafindratsima at the University of California, now think they may know the reason why.Together with their colleagues, the scientists monitored 15 tree canopies (树冠) in a western region of Madagascar, to identify any animals that might have claimed the role of baobab-seed spread. The researchers also set up camera traps around seed-containing fruits lying on the ground, and searched any faeces (粪便) that they encountered along the way for the presence of seeds.They report in the journal Biotropica that a native rodent (啮齿动物) known as the western bunch-tailed rat was caught on camera handling whole fruits on four occasions. Although there was no footage of the rat breaking the fruits open, the team did chance upon 13 fruits that had been chewed into and had their seeds removed. Though the bite marks were not clear enough to identify an initiator, this was clear evidence that a seed- distributing animal was out there. They then found the ecological equivalent of a smoking gun:baobab seeds in seven different piles of bush-pig faces.While the finding is important in its own right, it also provides valuable evidence that introduced species may not be entirely harmful. Madagascar’s pigs, for example, though not native, have made themselves essential to the survival of truly native species. Similar relationships are suspected to hold in South America between rabbits native to Europe and plants with no seed distributors. For Dr Andriantsaralaza, that suggests the full ecological role of introduced species should be considered before talk of extinction begins.8．What made scientists think the baobab tree should have disappeared?A．The extinction of its seed spreader.B．The destruction of human activitiesC．The inadaptation of the baobab tree.D．The increase of its natural enemies. 9．What are camera traps used for?A．Seeking seed-containing fruits.B．Tracking the footprints of seeds.C．Recording the animals’ activities.D．Monitoring the baobab tree canopies. 10．Which is most probably the seed-eater according to the report?A．The giant tortoise B．The bunch-tailed rat.C．The European rabbit.D．The bush-pig.11．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To introduce a new way to protect the baobab tree.B．To show non-native species are not always harmful.C．To compare different kinds of seed-distributing methods.D．To explain the importance of protecting endangered species.The concepts of delayed satisfaction, self-control, and self-regulation are often used interchangeably and inconsistently. The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction.Studies show that delayed satisfaction is one of the most effective personal characteristics of successful people. People who learn how to manage their need to be satisfied in the moment develop more in their careers, relationships, health, and finances than people who give in to it.Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. Choosing to have something now might feel good, but making the effort to have discipline and manage your impulses can result in bigger or better rewards in the future. Over time, delayed satisfaction will improve your self-control and ultimately help you achieve your long-term goals faster.The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time. Every day that you delay satisfaction and avoid temptation (诱惑) , you cross it off your calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy works well for people who enjoy gamification (游戏化). If you find it satisfying to keep the chain going, you’re less likely to give in to temptation.Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it?If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do. When you notice yourself doing something out of habit, stop for a moment. Ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. Take some time to analyze how you’re feeling. Pay attention to the details. Take a moment of mindulness to interrupt your autopilot every time this happens. The more you practice this, the more you’ll break the habit of going for instant satisfaction.12．What is delayed satisfaction?A．Making quick decisions.B．Giving in to desires instantly.C．Immediate rewards for impulses.D．Postponing rewards for better outcomes. 13．Why is delayed satisfaction hard to attain?A．It can lead to missed opportunities B．It’s bad for achieving long-term goals.C．It’s impossible to resist the inner needs D．It’s a comfort to possess something at once. 14．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．The complexity of the Seinfeld Strategy B．An example of self-discipline techniques.C．A method of practicing delayed satisfaction.D．The effectiveness of keeping the chain going.15．What does the author suggest people do for returning temptations?A．Ignore useless details.B．Get rid of old bad habits.C．Concentrate on true inner wants.D．Cancel temptations from the calendar.Facing hard things is, well, hard. Sometimes we are forced to simply shift, such as with a loss or failure; however, much of the time, we may recognize the difficulties underneath that need attention but feel too overwhelmed to address them. 16 The difficulties might be an outdated habit, a troubling memory or a long- ignored conflict.Some individuals fool themselves into thinking there really is not a problem. It’s like someone trying to hold active mice under a blanket by holding down the edges of the moving blanket. Pulling back the blanket to let the mice out is needed, despite being terrifying. Once the mice are released, there may be further challenges to get them out of the house. 17 People often encounter similar problems. Avoiding or leaving the situation appears to fix the problem but fails to tackle the underlying cause. Rather than repeatedly cutting weeds, getting down on the ground and pulling the roots is more effective. Facing issues is like uncovering roots for new beginnings to blossom. 1819 It feels like a balled-up mess of wires. Pulling hard at only one wire actually tightens the knot. We have to take a calmer look and pull apart each wire one at a time. We can’t expect the wires to loosen or unwind themselves. 20 Nevertheless, once they have been freed, they can sometimes be separated, put aside, and used as needed. A．They are just there and part of the chaos.B．And humans are masters of avoidance and denial.C．The overall benefits from tough work enable growthD．Making changes in one’s life is hard and complicated.E．Sadly, it often worsens when we approach it with anger.F．However, problems cannot be faced if they are not first recognized.G．Quick fixes might provide relief in the short term but often not in the long term.二、完形填空Madeline sat on her bed and tried to write.
