At age 12, my life was the liny, boring cycle of home, school and my parents store. Dune broke it all open and led me to a universe that made my little world a lot more bearable unlike Holden Caulfield who kept breaking windows in The Catcher in the Rvehy J. D.Sailingèr, Dune’s main character, Paul Atreides, equipped me with a junior-high survival guide.Paul is not a classic underdog. He’s the son of a king. He’s been trained since birth in war arts, politics and critical survival skills by a group of smart and experienced men with impossible-to-pronounce names. But when his world is turned upside down — when he leaves his home, loses his father and enters a physically and politically hostile environment — he doesn’t complain and cry. He adapts.To this day, I can still recite his words against fear: “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total destruction. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”The steady diet of literary fiction assigned by my teachers was escapist (逃避现实的) and the very act of reading (whatever the content) usually took me out of a given moment, but didn’t provide much advice on how to face my daily conflicts and painful insecurity.Dune was escapist, too. However, it was expansive and literally redefined possibility for me who had been struggling along with eyes on the ground, just trying to make it through another dayof boredom and hardship of being a teenage girl. Paul lifted my eyes up so I could see the stars. 4.Who created the character Paul Atreides?A.The author of this passage.B.J. D.Sailinger.C.Holden Caulfield.D.Frank Herbert.5.Which can best explain the underlined word “hostile” in paragraph 2?A.Sensitive.B.Unfriendly.C.Unbeneficial.D.Private.6.What does Paul impress the author most?A.His survival skills.B.His noble birth.C.His courage to face fear.D.His escapist attitude.7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The plot of Dune was more complicated than other fictions.B.The author learned much knowledge of stars room Dune.C.Paul helped the author escape from the real world.D.The author changed her attitude towards life owing to Paul.In a remarkable achievement for the young innovators, Victoria Ou and Justin Huang, both 17-year-old students from Texas, have developed a pioneering device that uses ultrasound (超声波)technology to filter out (过滤) harmful microplastics from water.Their invention has earned them the honored Gordon E. Moore Award at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), a well-known annual competition held by the Society for Science, a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C.Microplastics, resulting from the breakdown of plastic waste, are common pollutants that can be found in water sources, food supplies, and even the human bloodstream. To solve this critical environmental and public health problem, Ou and Huang invented their device, which employs a novel ultrasound filtration system to effectively remove these particles from water.The device uses the power of acoustic (声音的) radiation force generated (发射) by ultrasound. When water containing microplastics passes through the system, these forces prevent the particles from passing, resulting in microplastic-free water.Their device demonstrated impressive efficiency during testing, achieving filtration rates of84–94% for microplastics at flow rates of 10, 20, and 40 ml/minute in a single-stage setup. In a two-stage arrangement, the efficiency increased to 94–96%. Additionally, the system proved effective in filtering microplastics from laundry water and managing microplastic build-up in highly concentrated or large volumes of water.“This is the first year we’ve done this,” Huang shared with Business Insider after receiving their award. “If we could refine this — maybe use more professional equipment, maybe go to a lab instead of testing from our home — we could really improve our device and get it ready for large-scale manufacturing.”8.Which of the following can best describe Victoria Ou and Justin Huang?A.Humorous and patient.B.Cool-minded and well-behaved.C.Responsible and eco-minded.D.Ambitious and self-disciplined. 9.What’s the main idea of paragraph 4?A.The harm of the microplastic B.The operational principle of the device.C.The expense of the device.D.The spread of the microplastics.10.How does the author show the efficiency of the device?A.By listing the data.B.By stating arguments.C.By analyzing the cause and effect.D.By making surveys.11.What can we know from Justin Huang’s words in the last paragraph?A.The device has been massively made.B.The device is conducted in the lab.C.The device has been successfully tested.D.The device needs more improvement.The humble beaver (海狸) could hold the key to saving our water, according to a new research at has found how their da m building skills protect the rivers threatened by climate change.The research, done on the rivers in Colorado, found the wooden banners built by beavers raise water level upstream. As it builds up, the water flows into surrounding soils and secondary waterways. These acts separate out extra nutrients and pollutants before water reenters the main channel downstream.Extreme weather events, such as severe storms, impact water quality in major river systems. Droughts and floods are becoming more frequent, and the scientists have also found they arecontributing to an increase in the American beaver in the US, and consequently an explosion of dam building.The team chose to monitor a 40-kilometer stretch of the East River. They reviewed data on water levels gathered hourly by sensors fixed in the river and the areas along the river.They also collected water samples, including from below the ground’s surface to monitor nutrient and pollutant levels. The researchers compared water quality along the stretch during a historically dry year, to water quality the following year when water levels were unusually high. They also compared these year-long datasets to water quality during the nearly three-month period, starting in late July2018, when the beaver dam blocked the river.The study revealed the dams increased nitrate (硝酸盐) by nearly 50% by increasing the pressure of the water flow upstream 10 times over, which pushed more water out into the surrounding areas. The nitrates are absorbed and digested by tiny organisms in the soil. This helped increase the oxygen content and quality in the rivers.Beavers’ hard work is responsible for the land they love.12.What do the wooden barriers created by beavers act as?A.Waterways.B.Samples.C.Dams.D.Sensors.13.What is the direct result of frequent droughts and floods in Colorado?A.More dams emerge on the rivers.B.More American beavers appear in the US.C.More pollutants are removed from the rivers.D.More oxygen is created in the rivers.14.Why did the researchers collect water samples from below the ground’s surface?A.To keep an eye on the water quality.B.To improve the nutrient of the stretch.C.To remove pollutants from the river.D.To decrease the effect caused by the flood.15.What is the main idea of the text?A.Dams do good to water quality.B.Beavers contribute to climate change.C.Extreme weather catches researchers’ eyes.D.Beavers help protect rivers against climate change.Ways to Be Resilient (坚韧) in Tough TimesWhen uncertainty stresses us out, it makes us wonder which path to take, or what decision to make. 16 Here are ways to develop the emotional resilience that will help you in tough times.Try to be flexible. Often we have difficulty learning to “go with the flow”. Fixed beliefs, expectations, and habits are some of the things that lead us to resist change. But when the house you thought you’d live in forever is destroyed in a fire or hurricane, or the job you had trained for has been automated, what do you do? It can be heartbreaking. 17 The only way forward now is to adjust your attitude, shift your thoughts, and dream bigger by being flexible.18 When we are dealing with a situation in change, most of us will feel unsure of ourselves. This is normal. Accepting yourself and your situation is a good place to begin. Calm the inner voices of fear and blame.Learn from your mistakes. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes because they will make you more emotionally resilient if you are willing to learn from them. 19 By recognize uncertainty as an opportunity for growth, you can more easily move through it to attain your desired personal goals.Celebrate your successes. When you have initiated a plan that is working or picked yourself back up after a tough experience, celebrate your success with those who helped you gain positive results. 20 .A.Trial and error are how we learn.B.Practice being OK with discomfort.C.Review your options and then look for helpers.D.But it is also true that our life is demanding a “course change”.E.New efforts stimulate growth potential through new experiences.F.Congratulate yourself and commit to celebrating your achievement.G.It can be difficult for us if we have not developed emotional resilience.二、完形填空In the town of Norwich, England, that is a bookshop stalled Book bugs and Dragon Tales.

四川省2024-2025学年新高三上学期入学摸底考试英语试卷一、阅读理解V olunteer Summer Camp for Teens in Costa RicaAre you 16 or 17 years old and wanting to volunteer abroad this summer? International V olunteer HQ’s Summer Camp for teen volunteers is an awesome way for 16- and 17-year- old volunteers to spend part of their summer holidays contributing towards important community initiatives and learning about Costa Rican culture.What to expect and how you’ll make an impact:The Teen V olunteer Summer Camp is an incredible cultural immersion (沉浸) experience available to individual volunteers aged 16 and 17 and it is fully accompanied by adults.Participants will take part in planned activities including volunteering in local community projects, taking local dance lessons, going on cultural adventures, and joining nature tours led by our professional guides.The V olunteer Teen Camp has two available start dates in August. The first is available on August 1st, and participants can join for a 1-3 week duration. The second start date is August 15th for a maximum of one week.Why join the Volunteer Summer Camp in Costa Rica with IVHQ?When you volunteer as a teen in Costa Rica, you’ll be adding value to the local community, while also developing personally and professionally by:* Contributing to community- driven volunteer projects* Developing your communication skills* Learning about Costa Rica’s culture, food and history* Discovering Costa Rica’s beautiful beaches, national parks and citiesVolunteer requirements:* Volunteers must provide IVHQ with parental agreement in order to participate on the program.* Independent volunteers aged 16 and 17 can join this project for 1 -3 weeks.* Volunteers must provide two character reference letters.* All volunteers are required to have enough volunteer travel insurance.* All volunteers must speak fluent English.1.What will volunteers do in the camp?A.Instruct dance lessons.B.Take guided nature tours.C.Go on outdoor adventures.D.Visit some community activities.2.How can participants benefit from this summer camp?A.They can learn standard English.B.They can get money for their effort.C.They can gain rich experience in teaching.D.They can better their skills incommunication.3.What is needed to apply for the camp?A.Affording three weeks’ free time.B.Being accompanied by one parent.C.Having previous related experience.D.Offering two letters of recommendation.Inside Baiduren, which looks by outward appearances like a cafe, relatives of the dead can tell the staff stories that they may not be able to share with friends and family for any number of reasons.“Our job initially was funeral planning and handling related affairs for customers,” said Shi Xiaolin, leader of what Badiruen calls the “life experiencing project”. “After a few years, we felt that we wanted to make a breakthrough in the industry because there are still so many prejudices about funeral homes,” he explained.That was obvious from the start. Shi and his team had difficulty finding a landlord willing to rent to a funeral parlor (殡仪馆) . In the end, the site they found was in Hongkou District, a me re 10- minute walk from Baoxing Funeral Parlor, one of the largest undertakers in Shanghai.The Baiduren salon is decorated in a modern style, with soft lighting that contrasts with traditional funeral homes.“Apart from those who want to pour their hearts out, we also receive families who want to discuss funeral affairs in a more relaxed, comforting environment,” Shi told Shanghai Daily.The Baiduren salon looks like a common cafe, but many people come here to pour out their hearts about their perceptions of life and death. The salon has been more popular than the team expected since its soft opening in late February. In the past month, the team has listened to a lot ofstories — from survivors who can’t seem to accept the loss of a loved one, to survivors still in shock over a death that occurred by accident. In turn, staff often relate their own stories of sorrow.The salon, from the standpoint of both staff and customers, points to a change in how people — especially the young — view death and funerals. And Baiduren is not the only example of young people determined to make a difference in the funeral business.4.What difficulty did Shi Xiaolin meet at first?A.He couldn’t find employees.B.No one would rent sites to him.C.The relatives of the dead doubted him.D.He lacked money to decorate the parlor. 5.What is people’s attitude toward the Baiduren salon?A.They accept the new trend.B.They show no interest in it.C.They hold a wait- and- see attitude.D.They feel it shows no respect to the dead. 6.Which words can be used to describe Shi Xiaolin?A.Honest and reliable.B.Warm- hearted and humble.C.Considerate and creative.D.Diligent and responsible.7.What will be talked about next?A.The future of the Baiduren salon.B.Other people engaging in funeral business.C.The diverse services the Baiduren salon offers.D.Young people’s view on funeralbusiness.The world’s first jet- suit (喷气服) race, organized by Gravity Industries, a UK-based tech company that specializes in high-powered jet-suits, took place around the Dubai Marina this week with racers wearing Iron Man-esque technology rushing around, hoping to first cross the finishing line.All went smoothly, aside from a minor mess- up by Emirati pilot Ahmed al-Shehhi, who reportedly crashed into the water during his heat. Fortunately, he quickly rose to the water surface and gave a thumbs-up before being picked up by a rescue crew.Inspired by F1 technology, the suits feature five gas turbines (涡轮机) fitted on the arms and back, capable of generating over 1, 000 horsepower. This allows the racer to pick up speeds of up to128 kilometers per hour. The suits can typically stay in air for just 3 minutes, although it’s possible to fly for over 7 minutes if conditions are ideal.If the suits remind you of a certain billionaire superhero, you’re not alone. It seems that the founder of Gravity Industries also drew some inspiration from the Marvel Universe.“The closest comparison would be that dream of flying. . . and then go wherever your mind is taking you,” Richard Browning, the founder and chief test pilot, said after the race.“And yes, the world of Marvel superheroes and DC Comics, they have created that dream book, and we are the people who are the closest to realizing that for real,” Browning added.Understandably, the technology doesn’t come cheap. If you fancy getting your hands on a custom- made jet-suit from Gravity Industries, expect a price tag of at least £380, 000.It isn’t all fun and games, though. Gravity Industries has previously demonstrated that their jetpacks could be used by rescue teams to reach dangerous mountain areas. They’ve also suggested it could be used by police forces to hunt down criminals on the run.8.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?A.The definition of horsepower.B.The features of F1 technology.C.The conditions of using jet- suits.D.The introduction of the jet- suits.9.How did Richard Browning feel after the race?A.Confident.B.Disappointed.C.Grateful.D.Concerned. 10.What can we know about the new technology of Gravity Industries?A.It has its medical value.B.It is affordable for everyone.C.It can be used in rescue work.D.It has been adopted by the police. 11.What is the aim of this passage?A.To compare.B.To entertain.C.To inform.D.To persuade.The meeting continues, and you feel your eyes getting heavy, your mind drowsy (昏昏欲睡) . Suddenly you wake up and get a very attentive wakefulness — did anyone see me doze off (打盹) ? You’ve fallen into a microsleep, a very brief sleep that ends almost as soon as it begins. When you’re trying to be awake and active, these may make you feel anxious or, if they happen behind the wheel, justifiably terrified.Microsleeps don’t make us feel rested or restored, like longer periods of uninterrupted sleep would. Yet a new study shows that nesting chinstrap penguins (帽带企鹅) sleep just this way more than 10, 000 times a day. Incredibly, our experiments prove that this strange sleep cycleseems to do the birds no obvious harm.“What is really weird is that the penguin can sustain this in- between wake and sleep state constantly,” explains co-author Paul-Antoine Libourel, who studies the biology of sleep. Simply watching the penguins nod and blink gave the appearance that they were drowsy, he adds, but the extent of their sleeping was a surprise.To study these penguins, for two weeks, the scientists used some sensors to record data to measure the birds’ sleep-related brain activity. Other sensors recorded the birds’ positions (standing, lying, diving) , tracked their location via GPS, and collected environmental data like temperature. The authors also did continuous video monitoring of the same nesting birds so that their observable behaviors could be matched with simultaneous data on their brain activity.Researchers discovered that the birds nodded off thousands of times per day, engaging in microsleeps that averaged just four seconds each but added up to more than 11 hours of sleep per day.Why would the birds adopt this fascinating sleep cycle? The need to sleep briefly could simply be a consequence of living in a noisy group where sleep is constantly interrupted. The constant guard also help keep the nests safe from the brown skua bird, which feeds on penguin eggs and chicks. Having only seconds of sleep at a time would allow the birds to react to any possible dangers.12.How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?A.By describing a familiar scene.B.By introducing a sleep pattern.C.By reminding you of a bad habit.D.By showing the boredom of meetings. 13.What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Inspiring.B.Strange.C.Worrying.D.Meaningful. 14.What might contribute to chinstrap penguins' sleep pattern?A.Their unique brain structure.B.Their years’ of hard training.C.Their tough living environment.D.Their special standing position.15.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Seconds of Sleep, Lifelong Benefits B.Awake or Asleep? No One Knows for Sure C.Falling into Sleep? You Are Completely Wrong D.Sleeping for Seconds, Thousands of Times a DayI’m an Indonesian student and finished my Master’s degree in Sweden. 16 Here are my top four things that I’ve learned from my experience.I understand my home country better. Being a local in my home country for almost a lifetime got me thinking that the grass was always greener in other countries. 17 And my country has different positive angles that I’ve learned to see and be proud of.I get much deeper understanding of other cultures’ perspectives. Studying abroad has changed my perspective and made me shift my beliefs. I’ve learned the issue of privacy. I used to see that the internet is the place where we should talk about our activities and share many parts of ourselves to the world. I used to take everyone’s pictures and share them online. 18I see travelling in a new way. What is travelling all about? Why do we need travelling?19 I learned that by being a tourist, understanding local perspectives and needs is important. And most importantly, I found that you can find a whole new way of life when you really take time to understand the country you’ re in.20 When you study abroad, the first thing you might notice are the many differences between people. But you also see that all of these differences are also universal — people in many ways are the same everywhere. Studying abroad gives you the opportunity to really understand people from different culture backgrounds. And when you make friends, you learn to accept their perfections alongside their shortcomings.A.I learn to accept people’s differences.B.What should you take while you are travelling?C.Learning in a foreign country taught me lots of things.D.I like to make friends from different culture backgrounds.E.Yet being abroad has given me the chance to see that no country is perfect.F.By trying answering these questions, I started to understand travelling differently.G.Now I secure my data, respect people’s privacy, and even remind others to do so.二、完形填空Law enforcement (执法) is a challenging career.

The sixteen interrelated stories that make up the work switch between the tales of four Chinese immigrant mothers and their Americanized daughters, in an exploration of the generational and cultural tensions experienced by many first-generation daughters of immigrants.Tan's parents, like many immigrants, had high expectations for their children and often set confusing standards, expecting Amy and her two brothers to think like Chinese but to speak perfect English, excellent at school, and take advantage of every chance that might lead to success. Tan, however, rebelled against her parents' expectations, which included such respected professions as neurosurgery, and devoted herself to being thoroughly American and dreaming of being a novelist.Tan got a bachelor's degree in English and linguistics and a master's degree in linguistics and finally established herself as a highly successful business writer. Tan, however, was not satisfied in spite of her material success. Turning to her life-long dream, she wrote her first short story, "Endgame," and then a second, "Waiting between the Trees." In 1987 Tan visited her half-sisters in China with her mother, a trip that proved to be a turning point in her life and career. Tan felt asense of completeness, a link with the country and its culture that she had never expected. Returning from China, Tan was surprised to learn that on the strength of her short stories she had received an advance from a publisher. Tan closed her business and wrote the remaining stories for the Joy Luck Club. It was a resounding success, well received by the critics and appearing on the New York Times bestseller list. It has been translated into 17 languages, including Chinese, and was made into a movie in 1993.46. What is the author's main purpose in this passage?A. To analyze Amy Tan’s literary worksB. To support Amy Tan's decision to become a novel writerC. To present biographical information about Amy TanD. To criticize Amy Tan's rebellion against her parents47. In the 2nd sentence of Paragraph 1, the words "the work" refer to .A. storiesB. writingC. Commonwealth Club Gold AwardD. Joy Luck Club48. Before becoming a novel writer, Amy Tan was a successful .A. business writerB. publisherC. English teacherD. neurosurgeon49. The expectations of Tan's parents included all of the following EXCEPT .A. being excellent at schoolB. speaking perfect EnglishC. questioning traditionD. choosing an important profession50. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. Tan's parents understood her difficult situation but wanted the best for herB. It took Tan a while to gather the courage to seek her dreamsC. Tan started writing novel in order to make more moneyD. Tan had always wanted to return to ChinaBLanguage learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will“obey”spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation(模仿)leads on to deliberate(有意的)imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use at seven months of“mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes.
