The larger species reaches 7m in width.In 2016, a study was published by Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic D'Agostino on giant manta rays(蝠鲼), which explored the idea of whether these elasmobranchs(软骨鱼类)could be classed as self—aware. Giant mantas have the largest brain of all fish species, suggesting complex social interactions and are often referred to as intelligent. For the study Ari and D'Agostino used the mirror self—recognition test (MSR). It has been used to prove self—awareness in the great apes and Asian elephants.In order to confirm whether an animal can pass this test, researchers first expose the animals to a mirror. If they show social responses they likely perceived their mirror image as another individual and did not recognise themselves in the mirror. If they show repetitive and unusual movements they are considered potentially capable of passing the test. Next, researchers usually place a mark on the animal's body. They then observe what happens when the marked animal is placed in front of a mirror. Animals that pass the test will typically adjust their positions so that they can get a better look at the new mark on their body, and may even touch or try to move it. Typically, they pay much more attention to the part of their body that bears a new marking.In the study, due to the difficulties associated with marking a manta ray, observations were made instead in relation to mirror exposure only. Results showed that the Mantas exhibited unusual and highlyrepetitive movements and self—directed behaviour when exposed to the mirror. More specifically they gave selective attention to the mirror by displaying significantly more repetitive movements than under control conditions as well as several unusual behaviours, such as exposing and observing their underside in the mirror and bubble blowing, similar to what was observed when bottlenose dolphins were exposed to a mirror.Mantas are also able to change their colour, rapidly increasing the intensity of their white markings when a new individual approaches. This was not observed when they were exposed to the mirror, making it reasonable to assume that the animals did not recognize their mirror image as a new individual and that the observed behaviours were not part of normal social interaction.Overall, Ari and D'Agostino's study provides evidence for behavioural responses known to be prerequisites(先决条件)for self—awareness and which have been used by other researchers to confirm self—recognition in ape species. This experiment shines a light on the potential cognitive capabilities of fish and calls into question the ethical(伦理道德的)practices of current fisheries. Protection in some regions does exist. Despite this, up to 1,000 giant mantas are thought to be harvested from specific locations every year for their meat and gill rakers, the latter being traded as a kind of medicine.(1) Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic D'Agostino conducted the study to.A. explore how mantas can survive in extreme conditionsB. display that mantas can interact with human beingsC. illustrate where self—recognition test can be appliedD. prove mantas have the ability to recognize themselves(2) What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The final result of Ari and D'Agostino's study.B. The real purpose of Ari and D'Agostino's study.C. The theoretical basis of Ari and D'Agostino's study.D. The far—reaching significance of Ari and D'Agostino's study.(3) How did Ari and D'Agostino make their findings?A. By observing mantas' behaviours.B. By recording mantas' colour changes.C. By collecting statistics from self-recognition tests.D. By comparing the differences between mantas and apes.(4) The result of Ari and D'Agostino's study could lead to.A. better protection of mantasB. larger—scale hunting for mantasC. tougher restriction on ethical fisheriesD. further research into other sea animals19、【来源】 2018年江苏南通高三二模第52~54题6分(每题2分)CThe most important determining factor of success or failure — at work and in life — is self—awareness, the ability to understand who we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world.For millions of years, the ancestors of humans evolved painfully slowly. However, about 150,000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where, among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviours, as well as to see things from another's point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive.Though we may not face the same day—to—day threats to our existence, self—awareness is no less critical. There is strong scientific evidence that people who know themselves and how others see them are happier. They are smarter, superior students. They raise more mature children. They also tend to be more creative, confident and less aggressive.But for most people it is easier to choose self—delusion(自我欺瞒)rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly "me" focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown up in a world obsessed with self—esteem (自负), constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed(有缺陷), but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilities—from leadership skills to achievements at school and work. What's scary is that the least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.How can we avoid this fate? We must work on two specific types of insight. Internal self—awareness is an inward understanding of our passions and aspirations, strengths and weaknesses and so on. And external self—awareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.It would be easy to assume that someone with internal self—awareness would also be externally aware—that being in touch with our feelings and emotions helps us tune into how we're seen. Strangely,research has often shown no relationship between the two— some studies have even revealed an inverse (相反的)one.For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that self—examination can have hidden pitfalls(陷阱)that make insight actually impossible.(1) The first three paragraphs center around.A. the intelligence gap between modern men and their ancestorsB. the sharp contrast between self-awareness of today and the pastC. the necessity of a shift in self-awareness to satisfy the needs todayD. the significance of self-awareness in human survival and advancement(2) What's the problem with "me" focused society nowadays?A. People's performance and abilities are overlooked.B. It's difficult to obtain an objective assessment of ourselves.C. Competent people tend to be unconfident of their leadership skills.D. Modern people fail to bring their special qualities into full play.(3) What does the writer stress in this passage?A. Knowing how others see us is the key to success.B. Understanding ourselves inward contributes to a better fate.C. Self﹣examination helps us gain true insight into ourselves.D. Internal self﹣awareness and external self﹣awareness are closely related.20、【来源】 2018年江苏南通高三二模(南通、徐州、扬州、泰州、淮安、宿迁六市)(D篇)第65~70题12分(每题2分)Zelda D'Aprano was an unstoppable force, and if you didn't like it, you best got out of the way. It's through my work as a director of the Victorian Women's Trust that I got to know Zelda, and she has been a personal hero of mine ever since. I feel lucky for every conversation we had together. Each time I walked away feeling like I could do anything, and she used those powers very skillfully. She told me to ask for more from the world, even if I wanted the sun. So, to honour my friend: I'll have your moon too, thanks.As a staunch feminist(女权主义者), labour unionist, and pay justice advocate, Zelda had an everlasting impact on the women's movement and labour movements within Australia. She also took the time in her later years to help and nurture young feminists. I, and many others, are beneficiaries of that kindness.She left school at 14 to join the workforce, and it was in this factory work she began to witness first-hand the inequality between male and female workers. With each job she took she would point out the injustice of this disparity(悬殊) to her employers and would be swiftly dismissed. She didn't care about personal consequences, she cared about fairness.In 1969, fed up with the lack of progress for women, Zelda secured herself to the doors of the Commonwealth Building to protest the dismissal in the arbitration court of the equal pay case, of which she was a test case with the Australasian Meat Industry Employees Union(AMIEU). In an all-too-familiar pattern, for this "outspokenness" she was fired from the AMIEU.The legislation Zelda fought for has been all but eroded(逐渐消失的). The Equal Pay Act of 1972 has been aggressively watered down to become the "Fair Work Act" and no longer even mentions "pay equality", "gender discrimination" or "equal pay". TAL#NBSP We allowed ourselves to be the frogs in the hot water. Zelda noticed, and I'm heartbroken she couldn't stay long enough to see us fix it. But fix it we will.When Zelda was chained to the doors of parliament, a police officer began to criticize her. "Aren't you embarrassed? It's just you on your own, " he said. Without hesitating, she replied "No. Because soon there will be three, then there will be five, and then there will be …". She was right. Ten days after her protest she was joined by Alva Geikie and Thelma Solomon. From that action, the three women founded the Women's Action Committee and the Women's Liberation Centre, from which the Women's Liberation Movement in Melbourne was born. This changed the landscape of feminist organising in Australia forever.In her 1995 biography, Zelda described wanting to get more women involved in activism, because "we had passed the stage of caring about a 'lady-like' image because women had for too long beenpolite … and were still being ignored". She didn't care about what people thought of her, she cared about fairness.The Women's Action Committee organised the very first pro-choice rally in 1975, with an impressive turnout of over 500 women. It was reported by the media as a "horde of angry barefoot women" taking to the streets. Zelda assured me they were definitely wearing shoes. She really did walk the walk, throughout her entire life.In 2015, the Victorian Trades Hall Council introduced the Zelda D'Aprano Award for union activism. In a bittersweet coincidence, the nominations(提名) for the 2018 award opened on the very day she passed away. The flag at Trades Hall was lowered to half mast in her honour.The legacy(遗产)of Zelda D'Aprano cannot be contained within memorial writings, and it cannot die. It lives within the hearts of feminists – young and old – who, inspired by her spirit, will continue to fight for equality and fairness. It lives in the fire in our bellies. It lives in the smirk(假笑) we wear when we are doubted. Even through the heartache of loss, it lives.(1) The opening paragraph is mainly intended to.A. provide some key information about Zelda D'ApranoB. direct the readers' attention to the powerful symbolC. express great admiration for the great feministD. prove the popularity of the great feminist(2) Which of the following is the correct order of the major events in Zelda's life?a. She was fired from the AMIEU.b. She left school at 14 to join the workforce.c. She co-founded the Women's Action Committee.d. The Women's Action Committee organised the very first pro-choice rally.e. The Zelda D'Aprano Award for union activism was introduced.A. eabdcB. bcdaeC. bacdeD. ebcda(3) What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 imply?A. Zelda D'Aprano' s efforts were far from enough.B. The authorities approved the The Equal Pay Act of 1972.C. People could hardly put up with the inequality and unfairness.D. People submitted to the worsening situation about women's rights.(4) Which of the following can best describe Zelda?A. Determined, tolerant and realistic.B. Determined, ambitious and optimistic.C. Conservative, stubborn and aggressive.D. Independent, narrow-minded and generous.(5) We can infer from the last paragraph that the author.A. appeals to people to follow in Zelda's footstepsB. encourages people to doubt the government's decisionC. calls for the feminists to value the hard-won peaceful lifeD. urges people to get over their heartache of losing Zelda(6) What is the best title for the passage?A. A Terrible Loss of Human JusticeB. An Unrealized Dream for Fair PayC. A Review of Australian Social PrejudiceD. A Pioneer in Gender Equality and Fairness四、任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)21、【来源】 2018年江苏南通高三二模(南通、徐州、扬州、泰州、淮安、宿迁六市)第71~80题10分(每题1分)Do People in Public Life Have a Right to Privacy?People, famous or not, have a right to privacy, which is a basic human right. Although some of them have voluntarily made themselves known to the world, they are still entitled to live a life without others following them all the time.However, we have to distinguish between famous people. Basically, there are those who were seeking a public life—or at least knew to some extent what they were going into—and those who were not. Politicians, athletes, actors, musicians and entertainers belong to the former. The latter are ordinary citizens who become significant, because of their extraordinary experiences, for example, victims of crimes or tragedies, but also criminals.The number of ordinary citizens who receive their celebrity (名人) status unwillingly is quite big and the privacy of those people needs to be especially respected and maintained. Names, addresses or pictures that could lead to the identification of a person should never be made public. It is not of interest for the readers, and it usually does not make a difference for them, what the name of someone is, but for the one concerned publication of identity could mean embarrassment and harassment (骚扰). Suspected criminals, for instance, could lose their jobs, their families could break up or their whole lives could get destroyed, even when they are innocent. Apart from that, as soon as someone is well known, they arepursued and harassed by journalists demanding interviews. Also in cases where a family just had to experience the loss of a dear person, the press usually shows little respect for that.In the case of politicians or other powerful people, the right to privacy comes into conflict with another right, the public's right to know. Therefore, the right to privacy of certain politicians sometimes has to be neglected to ensure a rightful running of the country. But do we need to get informed about everything there is?Actually, the position of politicians in the eye of the public is especially difficult to judge. On the one hand politicians use their happy family and home in campaigns; on the other hand, we know personal behaviors have nothing to do with competence in running a country and private details, even if completely irrelevant, can still ruin careers. Sometimes only due to the intrusion (侵入) of privacy, corruption or similar crimes can be made public, but at the same time not everything in one's life is connected to one's office.When personal morality and family values are deliberately used by politicians as a reason for them to be elected, they have chosen to make it a public issue rather than a private one. This is a sad fact, but it does not justify intrusion of the personal lives of all politicians. A politician still is, like everyone else, entitled to privacy.五、书面表达(满分25分)22、【来源】 2018年江苏南通高三二模第71题25分请根据你对以下两幅图的理解,以"We Chinese Should Carry Forward Traditional Chinese Culture"为题,用英语写一篇作文。

In Picture 1, a girl is greeting her mother excitedly at Christmas while Picture 2 shows a girl is at a loss about the Dragon Boat Festival.The phenomenon reflects declining effects of traditional Chinese festivals among young people. Although traditional Chinese festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival haven’t lost their vital positions, they’re encountering neglect and embarrassment. Western festivals are gaining growing popularity in our society, posing a threat to traditional Chinese festivals.The Chinese nation has created a rich, colorful culture. But how can we deal with the challenges? We’re supposed to educate young people about Chinese culture. Besides observing festivals, young people should also be encouraged to be involved in other traditional Chinese activities, such as paper cutting, Peking Opera and so on. Only in this way can we carry forward our traditional culture well.听力原文:Text 1W: Look at my new car!M: That’s not a car.

It helps me want to work harder.Text 2W: This is the same block we drove down two minutes ago. You’re lost.M: I’m not. You just wrote down the wrong address.

They’re so expensive. I got mine from my boss when I was Employee of the Year two years ago.Text 7M: Where were you this morning, Julie? Mom and I were going to take you to school.W: Oh, thanks, Dad.

I always order cheese sticks, but I thought the main dish was $10.W: Oh, that explains it. You think the bill should be $35.M: Yes, exactly. I was wondering what happened to the rest of my change.

I love roller coasters. If I could ride roller coasters every day for the rest of my life I would die a really 36 man. I will stand in line for 40 minutes just to get on a ride that lasts30 seconds.

The 38 has me skipping around like a 4 year old.But during my first ride there, that kind of thrill turned to absolute 39 when I made it to the front. 40 waiting in line I was now having a second thought. Quietly, I negotiated within myself about my courage to go through with this 41.From far away it looked 42 but when I was about to get in the driver’s seat I 43 I forgot my license. After some self motivation I finally made the move to 44 my seat.On my way up I could clearly see the ups and downs 45 me. To me they were not only the route but also 46 challenges. Soon the track was full of such 47 tunnels that I could see only what was behind me but not in front.48 there were people around me with both of their hands in the 49 while I, knowing that things were going to get 50 grasped the handle on my seat. I wouldn’t dare celebrate something that 51 me.Just like roller coasters, 52 is full of ups and downs, darkness and light, and is unpredictable when we go through various 53 situations.

The portraits depict (刻画)the men and women whose lives and achievementshelped shape Scotland and the wider world. The Gallery is also home to the NGS ’ s outstanding collection of photographs which includes around 6,000 works by the early Scottish pioneers of the medium, Robert Adamson and David Octavius Hill as well as new works by leading-edge contemporary photographers.Visitor FacilitiesThe new Portrait Gallery cafe serves a delicious menu of fresh dishes and classic recipes, using the very best local ingredients and seasonal produce. Our new shop offers a fresh twist on design—led gifts and souvenirs. The Gallery now has all the facilities which today’s visitors expect, including a fantastic new lift, an Education suite and disabled access throughout the building.56. What do we learn about the Scottish National Portrait Gallery?A. Every display reflects Scotland.B. It is well-known for its building.C. There are about 6,000 works in it.D. It has a comparatively short history.57. Its visitor facilities can be described as ________.A. rare and user-friendlyB. characteristic and attractiveC. modern and all-roundD. beneficial andconventionalBConsumers everywhere are faced with the same dilemma: given limited resources, what sorts of purchases are most likely to produce lasting happiness and satisfaction? Recent research has confirmed that experiential purchases tend to produce greater hedonic (享乐的)gains than material purchases.The reason why experiences improve with time may be because it is possible to think about experiences in a more abstract manner than possessions. For example, if you think back to a fantastic summer from your youth, you might easily remember an abstract sense of warm sunshine and youthful exuberant (生气勃勃), but you're less likely to remember exactly what you did day-by-day.Material possessions are harder to think about in an abstract sense. The car you bought is still a car, that great new jacket you picked up cheap is still just a jacket. It’s more likely the experience of that summer has taken on a symbolic meaning that can live longer in your memory than a possession.Purchasing may have a negative impact on happiness because consumers often buy ‚joyless‛ material possessions, resulting in comfort but not pleasure. In general, people adapt to experiences more slowly than to material purchase. This can be seen in both negative and positive purchases: hedonic adaptation would result in a positive experience causing more happiness but a negative experience causing less happiness than the comparable material purchase with the same initial happiness level.Experience, however, seems to be more resistant to these sorts of unfavourable comparisons. It is because of the unique nature of experience. It’s more difficult to make an unfavourable comparison when there is nothing directly comparable. After all, each of our youthful summers is different.It’s well established that social comparisons can have a huge effect on how we view what might seem like positive events.One striking example is the finding that people prefer to earn $50,000 a year while everyone else earns $25,000, instead of earning $100,000 themselves and having other people earn $200,000.A similar effect is seen for possessions. When there are so many flat-screen HD TVs to choose from, it's easy to make unfavourable comparisons between our choice and the others available.58. An abstract sense in the passage refers to awareness of something __________.A. you cannot think aboutB. you can’ t remember wellC. you cannot understandD. you cannot see or touch59. If you make an experiential purchase before a material purchase, you may go to__________.A. a theatre before going to a storeB. an exhibition before going to a parkC. a mall before going to a grocer'sD. a market before going to a restaurant60. The example of earnings is given to actually indicate__________.A. how ridiculous people areB. how people feel contentC. how nearsighted people areD. how people hold prejudice61. It is implied in the passage that, after their material purchases, people might__________.A. enjoy their ownership of what they have boughtB. pick every fault in the products they have gotC. regret making a wrong decision to buy the itemsD. leave what they’ve purchased untouched at homeCIn a unique research cooperation between Stratasys, Education, R&D departments and MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab, a new process is being developed, known as 4D Printing.The 4D printing concept, which allows materials to ‚self-assemble (自行组装)‛ into 3D structures,was initially proposed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology faculty member Skylar Tibbits. Tibbits and his team combined a strand (缕) of plastic with a layer made out of ‚smart‛ material that could self-assemble in water. They advanced this concept by creating materials that can change into several differentcomplicated shapes, though this kind of material remains the bottleneck of 4D technology.To many people that are just starting to get used to the idea of 3D printers, the name 4D is causing confusion because they cannot understand where this fourth ‚dimension‛ coming from. 4D technology shares many of the same principles of 3D printing and is essentially still about creating a new, 3D structure out of certain component; however, Tibbits states the fourth dimension at work here comes from concept of the fourth dimension of time. The difference between these 3D and 4D creations is that these new forms have the ability to transform and adapt over time.4D printing works through self-assembly — a system where ‚disordered elements form an ‚ordered‛ structure via an interaction. With these 4D printed materials, these disordered materials are strands or sheets of specially designed materials. Environmental changes then stimulate (刺激)a response from them so that they form a preprogrammed shape.The idea of having adaptable technology that only relies on energy and non-human interactions raises some interesting questions about where 4D printing can be used and the practical applications in dangerous environments. This could mean improved infrastructures in extreme conditions, leading to a reduced need for workers to put themselves at risk, but the potential goes even further than that. The technology promises exciting new possibilities for a variety of applications. A solar panel or similar product could be produced in a flat shape onto which functional devices can be easily installed. It could then be changed to a compact shape for packing and shipping. After arriving at its destination, the product could be stimulated to form a different shape that serves its function. Also it could be used to build furniture, bikes, cars and even buildings. As with many of the ideas being put forward, it is easy to go a step too far into the extreme, but this just shows the potential of 4D in comparison to 3D.The next stage for the research is to move from printing single strands to sheets and eventually whole structures. And water need not be the process ’ s only energy source.62. Which of the following displays the fourth dimension of 4D printing?A. 4D printing creates a new, 3D structure out of certain component.B. 4D technology reduces need for workers to put themselves at risk.C. 4D technology can be used in many more fields than 3D printing.D. 4D printed materials reshape themselves with conditions changing.63. The major problem concerning the development of 4D printing lies in__________.A. producing essential 4D printersB. creating proper smart materialsC. providing a suitable environmentD. promoting practical applications64. What does the passage lead you to believe?A. 4D printing will take the place of 3D printing in the near future.B. Most aspects of our daily life can be affected by 4D printing.C. 4D printing will benefit humans by saving labor somehow.D. Smart materials can be transformed into other types of material.65. It can be inferred from the passage that__________.A. electricity is not used in 4D technologyB. 4D printing has been applied in industryC. more potential of 4D is to be discoveredDDear Textual Healing,I would be very interested in your recommendations for any books to help me through a difficult time of my life. At 57, f am feeling a bit lost. I have a wonderful, loving husband and bright, caring teenage daughter but I am lonely and have lost my spark for life.I have always taken care of everyone and managed a career, but, after the death of my father this summer, my difficulties as a child in a terribly abnormal family have come back to me regularly. / have become unfocused and often alone while my husband is away frequently on business and my daughter busy with school and friends.I am seeking the help of a therapist and taking care of myselfbut I would love to read something to help me ‚get my groove (理想状况)back‛ and reengage wi th life.PC Dear PC,From the letter you’ve given us about your life, it’s no wonder you’re feeling a little lost. But before prescribing titles to help you get your groove back, I’d recommend taking a journey into Rebecca Solnit’s non-fiction book, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, which is packed with the wisdom of everyone from Pat Barker to Thoreau and Keats.The word lost is rooted in the Old Norse ‚los‛,meaning the disbanding of an army. ‚This origin suggests soldiers falling out of formation to go home, ceasing fighting with the wide world. I worry now that many people never disband their armies, never go beyond what they know,‛ Solnit writes. So instead of fearing that lost feeling, try seeing its potential for discovery. Explorers, remember, are always lost simply because they’re forever someplace new.‚Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark,‛ Solnit advises. ‚That’s where the most important things come from, where you yourself came from, and where you will go.‛For something that asks a little less of the reader while still giving plenty in return, try a dose (―剂)of Anne Tyler, the beloved creator of numerous heroes whose serious conditions will move anyone who finds themselves in a midlife difficult situation. One such character is 53-year-old Rebecca Davitch, the heroine of Back When We Were Grownups. Like you, she’s combined marriage and motherhood with a career but suddenly finds herself feeling lonely in her own home. Could it be, she wonders, that she’s ‚turned into the wrong person"? Don't be fooled by the way this novel ambles along —as Rebecca revisits youthful ambitions and the college boyfriend she abandoned, it asks some heart-rending questions before arriving at a place of graceful, joyous acceptance.Along similar lines, I'm also going to recommend The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce. Its hero is 65 when he learns that a former colleague sick. On his way to post her a note,he decides instead to visit her—on foot, from his home in deepest Devon to England's northernmost town, morethan 600 miles away. You don’t manage that without focus! It’s a journey to a holy place that will take him 87 days to complete, during which he considers his childhood, marriage and relationship with his son, and becomes an accidental media sensation (轰动). By the time he reaches his destination, you’ll feel anything but tired.Finally, Ruth Ozeki’s novel A Tale for the Time Being will charm the missing spark back into your life. Combining the diary of a sad Tokyo teenager with the story of the middle-aged novelist who finds it, washed ashore on a remote island off the coast of British Columbia, it’s a beautiful illustration of how our lives touch — and are touched by — others in ways we mightn't even be aware of. This Man Booker Prize finalist has plenty to teach about Zen Buddhism, and unless you happen to live in one of its settings, it provides a bracing change of scene, too.One other suggestion: books, as we all know, make great companions but that doesn't mean they can’t be enjoyed in the company of others. If you find yourself home alone, why not slip one into your back pack and head out to a favourite café.66. What has mainly led to PC’s negative attitude to life?A. The lack of helpful books.B. The blow of her father’s death.C. The contrast between her devotion to others and her being ignored.D. The contrast between her easy life and her family members busy life.67.

PC had better try to avoid going someplace newD. PC oughtn’t to be trapped in her present situation68. Who clarifies the idea in his/her work that people are socially related?A. Rebecca Solnit.B.
