辽宁省名校2023届高三下学期第一次模拟考试英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解Meet Ineredible Conservation Heroes Saving Wildlife from ExtinctionThese four conservationists are doing fantastic work to protect some highly threatened species in a world where many species are racing towards extinction.Elena BykovaIf not for the efforts of Elena Bykova, the saiga antelope(赛加羚羊) would have been extinct by now. As Executive Secretary of the Saiga Conservation Alliance, an international organization, Bykova works to save the antelope. Illegal hunting is the single biggest threat, and Bykova concentrates on raising public awareness of the danger, finding alternative livelihood(生计) opportunities for local communities, and protecting saiga habitats.Anne SavageDr. Savage founds a conservation program to protect cotton-top tamarins(棉顶狨猴). She pioneers the development of new technologies to study the animal in the Colombian forest. She also helps conduct a study that found only 7,500 individuals remained. As a result, the International Union for Conservation of Natureadjusted the classification of cotton tops from Endangered to Critically Endangered, bringing the species to more people's notice. Jeanne TarrantFrogs are astonishingly diverse and beautiful for Dr. Tarrant. Over the years, she has helped put the spotlight on many highly threatened species of frogs that face extinction due to habitat loss, climate change, and hunts by their animal enemies. No wonder she is called the "Frog Lady" of South Africa!Marilyn ConnellLiving only in the Mary River of Queensland, the Mary Riverturtle(龟) takes in oxygen in two ways. Being hunted by other wildlife is the Mary River turtle's biggest threat. Connell and her team investigate the threats to the species and take measures to protect the eggs and newborns from being hunted, ensuring the species has a bright future.1、What contribution does Elena Bykova make to protect the saiga antelopeA. She makes no efforts to protect the species.B. She punishes the behavior of illegal hunting.C. She establishes an international organization.D. She helps the locals change the means of making a living.2、What made cotton-top tamarins get more public attentionA. The efforts made in the research.B.The change of their risk category.C. The development of new technologies.D. The foundation of the conservation program.3、What endangers the survival of both frogs and the Mary Ríver turtlesA. Loss of their habitats.B. Trouble in reproduction.C.Threat from other wildlifeD. Action of human beings.When Emanuel received an email from Professor Richard English at Queen's University, who encouraged him to apply for a PhD in Politics in Belfast, it was a pinch-me moment Emanuel never thought would be possible. After all, just a few short years ago, he was living on the streets, couch-surfing at friends' houses and weeding gardens to make ends meet. Now, one of the world's leading political academics was preparing to welcome him to Queen's University over 4,000 miles away.Emanuel never knew who his father was and his mom was mentally ill when she gave birth to him, so the hospital took him off her and he was unofficially adopted for the first few years of his life. What followed was a childhood with uncertainty as Emanuel was passed between the adoption system and family members.Through his high school and community college years, he movedfrom house to house, living with friends at times and living on the streets at others.Determined to change all that despite his rocky start in life, Emanuel involved himself in school—doing everything he could to earn extra tuition(学费) money in his spare time. But getting accepted into university was scarcely possible because a person like him couldn't get a regular student loan.Fortunately, the government backed him, having created a policy allowing disadvantaged persons to access funding for higher education. He graduated from the University of the West Indies with a 1st Class Honors degree and went on to do his Masters. Emanuel knows that his story could have been very different."I discovered Professor Richard English online and sent him an email honestly, not thinking he would reply and to my surprise, he did. I applied for the highly competitive Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme in order to fund my research at Queen's. When I was told I was successful, my whole world changed."4、What does the underlined word "pinch-me" in Paragraph 1 probably meanA.Imaginary.B. Anticipated.C. Unbelievable.D.Embarrassing.5、What happened to Emanuel in his childhoodA.His father passed away early.B. He received great parental care.C. He was once adopted by his relátives.D. He lived with his friends now and then.6、Which of the following can best describe EmanuelA.Tough and strong-willed.B. Determined and talented.C.Enthusiastic and generous.D. Hardworking and attractive.7、What is the main idea the author wants to convey to usA. Well begun is half done.B. Never judge by appearances.C.Many hands make light work.D. You are the architect of your own life.The next time San Francisco residents stop a taxi, they may step into a car with no one behind the wheel. Driverless taxis are now allowed to come on the city's streets. On June 2, 2022, Cruise, a division of General Motors (GM), was approved to charge for rides in its self-driving cars, becoming the first company allowed to operate commercial driverless cars in a major US city.Though Cruise is regarding it as a big win, its self-driving cars aren't totally free to run on the streets of San Francisco as they please. Cruise vehicles will be limited to transporting passengers in less crowded areas of the city between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. The speed limit is 30 mph. They are also not allowed to operate in heavy rain or fog. The rules are meant to reduce any injuries oraccidents.Cruise plans to launch the service gradually with a team of just 30 cars. The first robotaxis will be improved versions of GM's Chevrolet Bolt. However, the company is seeking approval to get its custom-built Cruise Origin on public roads. The driverless electric vehicle has no wheels or pedals(踏板) and can attain highway speeds. The car consists mostly of a sitting space, where passengers can face each other.Cruise's ability to obtain the commercial permit to operate is a big step forward. However, the company still has to convince passengers that its technology is safe. Many remain concerned about safety. A 2021 survey by the American Automobile Association found that 74 percent of Americans are afraid to ride in a self-driving vehicle.It remains to be seen how the new driverless taxi experiment will play out in San Francisco. But based on the vast number of companies that are racing to develop self-driving vehicles and the tens of thousands of people on waitlists for robotaxi rides, the Cruise pioneering program is at least set for popularity, if not success.8、What can we learn about the Cruise's driverless ride servicesA. The services have turned out to be a great success.B. The services receive great support from the public.C. The services have run in some major cities of the USA.D. The services are limited to some regions of San Francisco.9、What does the author describe in detail in paragraph 3A. The feature of Cruise Origin.B. The future of self-driving cars.C.The original plan of the company.D. The new version of Chevrolet Bolt.10、What is the attitude of most Americans towards the self-driving taxisA. Doubtful.B. Opposed.C.Favourable.D.Unconcerned.11、What can be the best title of the textA. Cruise Offers Free Self-driving Ride ServicesB. Self-driving Cars Are Coming to San FranciscoC. Self-driving Vehicles Are Popular in Major CitiesD. Companies Begin to Charge for Rides in Self-driving Cars Professional courses, such as Masters in International Business or MIB, have been taken by many students in the last two decades. They are choosing new- age unconventional courses that guarantee a better future. MIB is a specialized course that teaches the international business. There are solid reasons for so much popularity of MIB course.The course content and teaching methods of MIB differ from anormal MBA or Master of Business Administration. It has been designed with the objective of developing professionals with anin-depth understanding and knowledge of the international trade. The course offers various advantages over the conventional MBA degree course.The massive increase in the international business and foreign trade gives excellent job prospects to the new generation. Acquiring a degree of MIB offers outstanding growth of job opportunities. Those who want to pursue in the field of marketing also have a good future after completing the degree from a MIB college with a good reputation. Big multinational organizations look for talented people who can handle the job of International Marketing Manage, and people with MIB degrees are preferred. The job needs an in- depth understanding of the overseas markets, because it is the strategic post from the aspect of company's international business growth.Since business finance and economics are covered at length in the courses of MIB, students have great job offers in the field of finance as well. Typically, organizations offer the position of international finance controllers to those who complete MIB with the specialization of finance. The specialization covers aspects of international taxes, accounts, budgeting and so on. People in thisfield are well-paid, and growth prospects are unlimited. After completing degree course from a reputed MIB college, there is a good opportunity in the banking and finance field as well. International banks appoint people who have an excellent grasp over the international banking policies, currency exchange, and international policies. Thus, MIB is the golden key to success with brilliant job opportunities in national and multinational areas.12、How is the second paragraph mainly developedA.By analyzing causes.B. By proving definition.C.By making comparisons.D. By providing examples.13、Why do more and more people intend to acquire a degree of MIBA. It is required in the colleges.B.

International banks only accept employees from MIB colleges.15、What's the writer's purpose of writing this articleA. To predict the future trend of the MIB course.B.

To promote the professional MIB course worldwide.D.To explain why the MIB course is gaining popularity.二、七选五16、Chinese people may not be that familiar with sports tourism, but it is one of the fastest growing parts of tourism, because an increasing number of people are expressing their curiosity in sports events during their trips even if sports are not the key reason of their travel. ①_____Sports tourism refers to tourism involving participation in or watching sports events and staying in an environment different from the usual tourist hotels or resorts. ②_____ At that time, people traveled to Olympia to watch or participate in Olympic races.

Hilary burst into her dad’s study and told him the shocking news. Looking awkward, her father admitted that he had made up the word “orbisculate” as the action that happens “when you dig your spoon into a grapefruit and it squirts juice directly into your eye”.At first, Hilary was mad. But she quickly came to see her dad's made-up word as a gift. It speaks to his creativity and the idea that, even when something is painful and annoying, like getting grapefruit juice in your eye, you can laugh and have fun with it.Hilary’s father Neil Krieger died in April 2020，at age 78. Since the Kriegers couldn’t have a proper funeral, Hilary who now lives in New York, spent a lot of time on the phone talking with friends and family, and the “orbisculate” story kept coming up.“I began to think ‘orbisculate’ is such a great word; it should be in the dictionary! ” says Hilary. She called her younger brother Jonathan, who lives in Boston and runs an online company. Their goal is to put the word to use publicly enough that it has a chance of becoming acceptable. Encouraging people to use “orbisculate” in a wide variety of contexts will leave a compelling(令人信服的) trail of evidence for lexicographers(词典编纂者) to follow.It has been more than two years since Neil’s death and his children are still struggling from the loss. But their campaign to get their father’s word into the dictionary has helped them win back a little of the joy that has been missing from their lives. ‘‘I could picture him being really excited,’’ Jonathan says. ‘‘And not until that day did I know my father had created many ‘words’ that we wouldn’t see in the dictionary.”4、What made Hilary find “orbisculate” doesn't exist?A. A piece of shocking news.B. The latest dictionary.C. Her father’s strange reaction.D. An accident between her friend and her.5、Which of the following can best describe Hilary's father?A. Strict and stubborn.B. Optimistic and creative.C. Flexible and reliable.D. Determined and hardworking.6、When did Hilary decide to get the word “orbisculate” into the dictionary?A. After her father's death.B. When her father told her the truth.C. After her brother's request.D. After she put the word to use publicly.7、What will probably be talked about in the following part?A.Hilary encourages people to make up more new words.B.The introduction to other words created by Hilary's father.C.The reply that the official gave Hilary and her brother.D.Hilary and her brother will continue to fight for their demand.Gender (性别)equality at work benefits everyone and the way to get there faster is to empower men as allies(同盟)in the fight.The difference between women’s and men’s earnings is on average 18 cents per dollar earned, and even more than that for women of color. After years in which women have formed about half of the college-educated work force, this significant unchanging pay gap and the lack of representation of women in the upper ranks of senior management are troubling. In fact, only a surprisingly tiny 7. 8 percent of CEOs at S&P 500 companies were female at the close of 2020. Why is it taking so long to break the well-known glass ceiling once and for all?At an individual level, men who are unwilling to work closely with women can of course have a damaging effect on the careers of their female colleagues. But men who are indifferent about gender equality and also without necessarily meaning to, pre vent women’s advancement.However, men have never been entirely absent from the struggle to expand economic access and professional opportunity for women. In 1984 the Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives and another two officials—all men—spoke out in favor of naming a woman to the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, and eventually, they made Geraldine Ferraro the vice president, the first woman ever to run on a major party ticket. Ferraro’s access to an important leadership role was the product not only of decades of activism and protest byto be important today. In 2020, Democratic presidential candidate Joseph Biden made a promise to select a woman as his vice- presidential nominee (候选人) and ultimately shared electoral victory with running mate Kamala Harris, the first woman and first person of color to be elected vice president.Men’s voices are important. When men speak up against gender discrimination, they not only become obvious as allies who can be counted on to support industry or company rules to advance equality, but they also improve awareness and acceptance of gender inequality as a shared problem, not a special interest.8、What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.The reason why gender equality is hard to achieve.B.The reason why men are powerful at work.C.The result that gender inequality brings to men.D.The result that women’s advancement causes to companies.9、Which of the following best explains “endorsement” underlined in paragraph 4?A. Responsibility.B. Support.C. Ignorance.D. Misunderstanding.10、Which can be the best title for the text?A.Support of Men Is on the Sidelines.B.Gender Equality Is Women’s Business.C.Gender Inequality Is a Common Problem.D.The Secret to Achieving Gender Equality at Work: Men11、In which section of a newspaper may you find this text?A. Education.B. Society.C. Health.D. Entertainment.During a ransomware (勒索软件)attack, attackers enter a target’s computer system and encrypt (加密) its data. They then demand a payment before they will free the system. Ransomware is a collective problem, and solving it will require joint action from companies, the U. S. government and international partners.In 2020 the Federal Bureau of Investigation received more than 2,400 reports of ransomware attacks, which cost victims at least $29 million. The numbers underestimate the total impact of ransomware because not all organizations are willing to report it when they fall victim to this kind of crime. Even these limited statistics, however, show the increasing fearlessness of ransomware attackers: the number of attacks in 2020 increased by 20 percent compared with that of the previous year, and the amount of money paid out more than tripled.As long as victims keep paying, attackers will keep profiting from this type of attack. But cybersecurity experts are divided on whether the government should prohibit the paying of ransoms. Such a ban would discourage attackers, but it would also place some organizations in a moral dilemma. For, say, a hospital, unlocking the computer systems asquickly as possible could be a matter of life and death for patients, and the fastest option may be to pay up.Other solutions are more straightforward and involve pushing organizations to protect themselves better. Cybersecurity defenses make it harder for attackers to access systems. Segmenting (分割)one’s network means that breaking through to one part of the system does not make all data immediately available. And regular backups allow a company to function even if its original data are encrypted.All these measures, however, require resources that not all organizations have access to. Meanwhile, ransomware people are adopting increasingly advanced techniques. Some work for weeks to gain entry to a company’s network and then enter their system, finding the most vital data to hold hostage(人质). Some groups d eliberately compromise an organization’s data backups. Others sell instructions and software to help other attackers launch their own attacks. As a result, security personnel must engage in a constant game of cat and mouse.12、What do the numbers listed in paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A.The amount of money that companies paid.B.The serious situations about the ransomware attack.C.The companies that have been attacked by ransomware.D.The profit that attackers got from ransomware.13、What is the attitude of cybersecurity experts to prohibiting the paying of ransoms?A. Favorable.B. Uncaring.C. Mixed.D. Opposed.14、What can we know from paragraph 4?A.How attackers enter a target’s computer system.B.Why we should pay more attention to cybersecurity.C.Which kind of computer system is easy to attack.D.What we can do to deal with ransomware attacks.15、What does the last sentence in the text imply?A.There is still a long way to go about cybersecurity.B.There will be a quick solution to ransomware attacks.C.Ransomware makes our computer systems advanced.D.Cybersecurity will become the most worrying problem of the US.二、七选五16、Need to take a screenshot(截屏) on your Windows PC? ①_______，there are several quick and easy ways to take screenshots in Windows 10, Windows 11 , and Windows8.

Bertozzi was awakened by a phone call from a Nobel committee representative who told her, “You have 50 minutes to collect yourself and wait until your life changes.” Instructed not to share the announcement outside of her tightest inner circle, the first person Bertozzi called was her father, a retired physics professor from MIT. “He’s 91 and, of course, he was just overjoyed,” said Bertozzi.Carolyn Bertozzi, born October 10, 1966, Boston, was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for her development of bioorthogonal reactions, which allow scientists to explore cells and track biological processes without disturbing the normal chemistry of the cell. She shares the $10 million Swedish kronor (about $1 million USD) prize equally with Morten Meldal, professor at University of Copenhagen and K. Barry Sharpless, professor at Scripps Research “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”Carolyn received a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Harvard University in 1988 and a doctorate in the same subject from the University of California, Berkeley in 1993. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Francisco, from 1993 to 1995. She became an assistant professor at Berkeley in 1996 and a full professor of chemistry and molecular and cell biology in 2002. She also held an appointment as a professor of molecular and cellular pharmacology from 2000 to 2002 at the University of California, San Francisco.In 2015 she became a professor of chemistry at Stanford University.“I could not be more delighted that Carolyn Bertozzi has won the Nobel Prize in chemistry,” said Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne. “In pioneering the field of bioorthogonal chemistry, Carolyn invented a new way of studying biomolecular processes, one that has helped scientists around the world gain a deeper understanding of chemical reactions in living systems. Her work has had remarkable real-world impact, providing new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to treat disease. Carolyn is so deserving of this honor, and all of us at Stanford are too proud to call her one of our own.”Carolyn’s bioorthogonal reactions have been used to study how cells build proteins and other molecules, to develop new cancer medicines, and to produce new materials for energy storage, among many other applications.4．Why does the author mention the phone call Carolyn received in Paragraph 1?A．To introduce the background information of Carolyn.B．To reveal a conversation between two scientists.C．To arouse the readers’ interest in the passage.D．To show the urgency about the information.5．What can we learn about Carolyn from paragraphs 2 and 3?A．Her education and success.B．Her delight and pride.C．Her kindness and devotion.D．Her dream and ambition.6．What can we infer from Marc Tessier-Lavigne’s words?A．He wants to cooperate with Carolyn.B．Carolyn has found a new cure for cancer.C．He benefits greatly from Carolyn’s findings.D．Carolyn’s findings are of great significance.7．What is the text?A．A profile.B．A news report.C．A journal.D．A book review.Kids everywhere love to play. And they know a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now scientists at London’s Queen Mary University report that bumblebees seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play.When people talk about “play”, they’re describing an animal doing something thatdoesn’t really seem to help it. They’re not doing the action to get food or shelter or another similar “reward”. Play usually happens when a creature is relaxed and is often repeated.However, scientists think many animals and birds’ playing is a kind of training for things they’ll have to deal with in later life. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing.Scientists at Dr. Chittka’s lab, carried out an experiment. First, they tagged (贴标签) 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between 1 and 23 days old. The tags made the bees easier to identify and follow.The scientists set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, the researchers placed small colored wooden balls. On one side of the path, the balls were attached and couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around. It turned out that the bumblebees weren’t interested in the unmovable balls, but they made lots of visits to the rolling balls.Grabbing the balls with their legs, the bees would flap (拍打) their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 tagged bumblebees rolled balls 910 times during the experiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls. Males seemed more likely to play than females.“It’s not clear why the bees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings. With further research, the future will hold surprises and answers in store for us,” said Dr. Chittka.8．What is the purpose of animals’ play according to scientists?A．To find ideal shelter.B．To receive extra rewards.C．To develop survival skills.D．To get their fellows’ attention.9．What did Dr. Chittka’s experiment focus on?A．Bumblebees’ categories.B．Bumblebees’ habitats. C．Bumblebees’ intelligence.D．Bumblebees’ behavior.10．What was the result of the experiment?A．Younger male bumblebees preferred to roll the balls.B．Bumblebees possessed different wing beat frequency.C．Bumblebees could distinguish balls of different colors.D．A specially-built pathway helped bumblebees find food.11．What is Dr. Chittka’s attitude to their future research?A．Uncertain.B．Doubtful.C．Optimistic.D．Critical.Jeffrey Boakye, a writer and teacher from London, is right to think that the stories we tell our children shape their future values. Recent research from the End Sexism in Schools campaign also established that children in the UK are still living off a worryingly limited diet of male authors and male main characters.Our research confirms that the novels Boakye mentions in his recent article are in the top five most taught in years 7 to 9. But boys need to be taught to listen to and respect female voices as powerful, and to be empathetic to the viewpoints of women and girls. This is essential in tackling one of the root causes of male violence against women and girls. And girls need to be taught that our expectations of them are not tied to life-denying gender stereotypes (性别刻板印象).English literature could be taught by allowing teachers and students to decide together, exploring relevant and important themes, including those Boakye identifies.The techniques of reading, analyzing and understanding can be taught with examples, but all students need not answer the same questions on the same books, in class or in exams. The current system is more convenient for teachers and graders, but it’s also deeply repetitive. Let the kids choose their own texts: It’ll be less boring and we might just learn something in the end.Parents-challenge your schools to change. Teachers-you have the ability to make these changes. It is our duty as their parents, educators and carers to teach children more books by women, and more books with female main characters and if this means leaving out some of the so-called classics, then so be it.12．What does the underlined word “empathetic” most probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．Approving.B．Enthusiastic.C．Indifferent.D．Understanding.13．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A．Teachers and students could do literature research together.B．More say should be given to students about what to read.C．The current system benefits students more than teachers.D．The novels Boakye mentions are boring.14．What does the author suggest English literature teachers do ?A．Ask more open-ended questions.B．Select more materials by females.C．Focus more on reading techniques.D．Reduce the use of classic literature.15．Which of the following could be a suitable title for the text?A．Challenging gender stereotypesB．Reading literature for pleasureC．Enriching the literary diet of childrenD．Understanding children’s literature二、七选五Adversity quotient (AQ逆商) is one’s ability to handle adversities well. It is known by other names such as resilience (适应力) and persistence. ____16____. A person with high AQ is tough and will not easily give up in the face of hardship, and often has the following qualities:____17____As we all know, change is the only constant in life. In the natural world, a creature that cannot adapt to changing circumstances eventually comes to an end.

Poor emotional control can make a situation worse than it already is. A person with a high EQ usually knows that the emotional impact of an adverse situation is only temporary. It is the classic “this too shall pass” mode of psychology.A positive attitude toward lifeA person with a high AQ has a positive outlook on life. They will see the half-full glass instead of the half-empty one. ____20____.The concept of AQ is becoming increasingly relevant as the world goes through tough times. People with high AQs are an asset to any organization.A．Sensitivity to changesB．Adaptability to changesC．However, a person with high AQ will stay no matter whatD．Without high AQ, anxiety and depression are usually not far behindE．They will see even criticism in a positive and constructive spiritF．AQ is the capacity to bounce back after you have been pushed downG．The ability to regulate one’s emotions is important when faced with adversity三、完形填空Dee Featherstone from Peterborough describes herself as someone who didn’t enjoy the festive season, but after having her son Alfie, that changed.“I____21____actually liked Christmas before having my son—I was definitely more of a scrooge (吝啬鬼，守财奴). But something changes when you have children, and you see just how magical it really is. Alfie was two last Christmas, and he wasreally____22____about the lights and was beginning to understand the____23____of Christmas.

Out of curiosity about the secrets in her family, Ailey uncovers stories that trace back to her Native American, Scottish, and enslaved African-American ancestors.2 Matrix by Lauren Groff （Knopf, $28）If Matrix were written by anyone else, it would be a hard sell. But Lauren Groff has reimagined the life of 12th-century poet Marie de France so that we can’t help but stay with this royal castoff as she’s sent away, at 17, to run a poor church, which she eventually changes into a shelter for women and a challenge to the male-dominated world.3 Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro （Knopf, $28）A robot that has been programmed to be a sickly teenager’s ＂Artificial Friend, ＂Klara serves as our eyes on a troubling near future in which technological progress is pushing moral boundaries. But her outsider view allows the author of Remains of the Day, now a Nobel Prize winner, to explore what makes people irreplaceable.4 Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr （Scribner, $30）Doerr's first novel since 2014 covers several hundred years-from 1453 Constantinople to a 22nd-century ceship escaping from Earth. The book runs 640 pages, but without a wasted word. As engaging as a great bedtime story and as readable as Harry Potter, it's above all a celebration of the human spirit and its power to dream impossible dreams.21. Which book is written by a poet?A. The Love Songs of W. E.B. Du Bois. B. Matrix.C. Klara and the Sun.D. Cloud Cuckoo Land.22. What is the central theme explored in Klara and the Sun?A. Historical events.B. Pursuit of dreams.C. Human irreplaceability.D. Teenagers' friendship.23. What do the four novels have in common?A. They all cover hundreds of years.B. They are all chosen by critics.C. They are all the author's first novel.D. The main characters are all humans.BThe world of underwater slumber is unlike what we see on the surface. For mammals （哺乳动物）, a good night's sleep sends an animal into a state of unconsciousness （无知觉） during hours of restorative sleeping that helps heal the body and solidify memories firmly in the mind. For fish, however, sleep isn't such a well-defined process. Instead, many fish species have taken to spending short periods in a state of reduced activity or rest while keeping their eyes open to scan the water for potential threats. During these periods of reduced activity, a fish's bodily functions slow down and its watchfulness drops.The breadth of animals in the ocean that exhibit this type of reduced activity is widereaching. Among the hundreds of thousands of creatures in the sea, some merely ride along with the current,such as jellyfish. Others find rocky bedrooms for the night, while those such as stingrays bury themselves in the sand to rest. However, it must be really hard to get a good night's sleep when you breathe air but live in water. This is something that the world's underwater mammals have to deal with.To prevent themselves from drowning （溺死） in their sleep, underwater mammals such as dolphins and manatees have developed the ability to "turn off' one side of their brain to rest, known as unihemispheric sleep. While one side is fast asleep, the other keeps all the animal's vital functions running, such as breathing. Manatees, for example, love to sleep, spending up to 12 hours a day in a deep slumber. However, as air-breathing animals, manatees need to surface every 20 minutes or so for oxygen. To achieve this, the half of the brain that's still awake sends the sleeping manatee to the surface to get some air.24. What does the underlined word "slumber" in paragraph 1 mean?A. Rest.B. Sleep.C. Danger.D. Activity.25. Why is it hard to define sleep for fish?A. Because fish remain partially awake.B. Because fish need short resting times.C. Because fish possess no consciousness.D. Because fish pretend not to be sleeping.26. What is a challenge faced by underwater mammals?A. Hiding in sand.B. Riding the current.C. Finding spots to rest.D. Breathing while sleeping.27. How do manatees ensure their oxygen supply during sleep?A. By sleeping less.B. By adapting to the sea.C. By surfacing periodically.D. By controlling their breath.CProfessor Lum seems to be under the spell of ChatGPT, but let's not get carried away with the AI chatbot craze. While it does have some benefits, his arguments are like a leaky boat in a stormy sea- full of holes.According to Professor Lum, ChatGPT offers students a wealth of information. Sure, it's like having a walking encyclopedia （百科全书）, but learning is not about copying an answer. It's aboutthe journey of discovery. ChatGPT, armed with its vast database, denies students the opportunity to explore and learn through their own efforts. It's like awarding a participation medal for a race that hasn't even begun!He also claims that ChatGPT improves communication skills. Seriously? Chatting with an AI is not the same as having a real conversation. How can we expect students to handle the complexities of the real world if all they know is how to talk to a chatbot? Let's not turn them into socially awkward bots themselves.Oh, and let's not forget about critical thinking. Professor Lum thinks ChatGPT challenges students to think critically. But come on, folks! It's merely a machine! It's not going to teach them how to question assumptions, analyze evidence, or come up with innovative solutions. We need human interaction and lively debates for that.Lastly, Professor Lum believes ChatGPT can provide support and guidance. Again, seriously? Are we going to replace human emotions with lines of code （代码）？ ChatGPT might offer some comforting words, but it can't replace the warmth and understanding that can only be found in human interaction. Let us not abandon our students, leaving them to feel more alone and disconnected than ever before.Professor Lum's opinion regarding ChatGPT warns us against too much reliance on technology. Rather than prioritizing ChatGPT, the focus should be on developing critical thinking, promoting genuine human interaction, and emphasizing the core aspects of education.28. What is compared to a participation medal in paragraph 2?A. A walking encyclopedia.B. A journey to explore.C. A vast database.D. An answer.29. What can be inferred about ChatGPT from paragraphs 3～5?A. It is not good at socializing.B. It is a skilled critical thinker.C. It offers nothing helpful to humans.D. It forms a warm bond with humans.30. What is the author's attitude towards ChatGPT?A. Totally negative.B. Fully supportive.C. Highly skeptical.D. Quite indifferent.31. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To criticize a viewpoint.B. To question an authority.C. To clarify two arguments.D. To compare two chatbots.DIf there was an app on your phone that claimed to improve your memory, would you be willing to try it? It's hard to resist the idea of having a better memory. After all, our memories are delicate and can be affected by various factors such as diseases, injuries, mental health conditions, and aging.In response to this perceived need, the brain training industry has grown rapidly, offering a wide range of accessible and affordable mental exercises through smartphone and tablet apps. Many researchers have found evidence suggesting that well-designed exercises can improve mental abilities and even lead to better scores on IQ tests. They compare the brain to muscles, suggesting that targeted repetition of memory exercises can strengthen and condition our memory processes, similar to how athletes engage in strength and conditioning by repeatedly exercising specific muscle groups.In contrast to everyday activities like reading a detailed article or solving a complex puzzle, memory training apps are specifically designed to provide a more challenging workout for the brain. These apps typically involve tasks that require. tracking a large number of objects while being distracted by a secondary task, such as mental calculations or exploring a game's landscape. If this brain training proves effective, it could be beneficial for individuals with brain-related disabilities or those recovering from conditions like cancer.Critics, though, argue that while the concept is appealing, the overall evidence fails to demonstrate significant improvement in core brain processes. Additionally, despite the claims made by many apps and brain training companies, scientists have yet to identify the key factors that make an intervention truly effective or determine the best approaches to address the diverse needs of individuals seeking help.While the question is still open to debate, there is evidence suggesting that short-term working memory training can benefit high-functioning individuals, such as college students. However, it's important to note that brain training, like diet and exercise, is unlikely to have identical effects on every individual.32. In what way is the brain similar to muscles according to many researchers?A. In testing results.B. In work processes.C. In bodily functions.D. In training methods.33. What is the main feature of the typical tasks in memory training apps?A. Detailed.B. Effective.C. Demanding.D. Complicated.34. What do critics think memory training apps lack?A. Legal claims.B. Proven effects.C. Tailored services.D. Appealing concepts.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Can our memory be improved?B. Does brain training actually work?C. What have scientists found about memory?D. What does the brain training industry bring?第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

inner passionate association of human progress?A．Intra-Operative Monitoring.B．Retribution.C．Energy Made Easy.D．Nature Is My Teacher.23．In which section of a magazine does the passage probably appear?A．Economy.B．Advertisement.C．Fashion.D．Entertainment.BThe Luling Mountains in Jinzhou,Liaoning Province,used to be a deserted area without even a single tree.Now, it is a leafy paradise for birds,and tourists are flooding in.The huge transformation has occurred thanks to the consistent efforts of Tian Wangui,67,and his wife Lu Min,63,over nearly half a century.In1982,the couple contracted（承包）the land-use rights of the two mountains near their home.They intended to plant fruit trees in the mountains to make a living.Back then,the mountains were deserted with no trees at all.To help the seedlings（树苗）they planted survive in the barren（贫瘠的）land,the couple had to carry water to the mountains on their backs.They also bought whatever seeds were available from a nearby forest farm and spread them everyspring,hoping to afforest the mountains.With such an extensive planting method,however,they initially failed to see many seeds take root in the barren soil.But the couple didn’t give up.The couple’s perseverance finally paid off.They discovered that some tree species were tough enough to survive, including pine and mulberry.Now,more than50,000trees of over20species cover the land they contracted, following their consistent efforts to sow tree seeds year after year.As the mountains became lush（郁郁葱葱）,Tian and Lu were charged with a new task-patrolling（巡逻）theirnearly67hectares of forest every day to prevent fires.The patrol even didn’t stop on the eve of last year’s Chinese Lunar New Year.Instead of watching the CCTV Spring Festival Gala on Jan.21st like most Chinese,the couple went to patrol the mountains with the families of their son and daughter.“Many people set off fireworks to mark the arrival of the new year,so the holiday is a time when we have to stay cautious against fire threats,”Tian said.The couple has no plans to quit their work,and they hope their children will follow in their footsteps.“We cherish the mountains and trees as we cherish our own children,”Lu said.“Even as we grow old,they will continue to patrol the woods and watch over the birds.”24．What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A．The mountains.B．The forest farm.C．The poor couple.D．The tough condition. 25．What can we learn from Paragraph3?A．More than20species were sowed every year.B．Pine and mulberry cannot survive on the land.C．Their continuous efforts eventually worked.D．They bought50,000trees according to the contract.26．Which of the following can best describe the couple?A．Honest and hardworking.B．Curious and brave.C．Determined and persevering.D．Friendly and intelligent.27．Why do the couple decide to continue their work?A．They regard the mountains as their children.B．They want their children to succeed their career.C．They can earn much money from the mountains.D．They have a life-long contract with the government.CStep aside,blue collar.And white collar,pink collar and green collar.There’s a new collar in town.“New collar”jobs are those that require advanced skills but not necessarily advanced degrees,especially in emerging high-techfields like artificial intelligence,cybersecurity（网络安全）,electric vehicles and robotics.There are real fears that workers will lose jobs to technology,especially artificial intelligence,in the coming years.But“new collar”optimists think in a more positive way:There are also real opportunities ahead for skilled workers who know how to handle machines.“Somebody has to program,monitor and maintain those robots,”said Sarah Boisvert,the founder of theNew-Collar Network.Even if millions of high-tech jobs are created in the coming years,the impact on workers who lose jobs may besignificant.For many Americans without four-year college degrees,according to census（人口普查）data,the new jobmarket will require training.Ginni Rometty,a former chief executive of IBM,is believed to have created a“new collar”in2016.At the time, she said,IBM was having trouble filling cybersecurity jobs,partly because outdated criteria required that candidates have college degrees.“Due to our high qualifications in these online jobs,we overlooked a large number of qualified and available candidates,”she wrote in an email.“Unless millions of people are trained in the skills employers need now,”she added,“they risk being unemployed even as millions of good-paying jobs go unfilled.”Christopher M.Cox,a researcher who has written about the new-collar economy,said,“The alternative model of four-year universities is really great.”However,he added that“new collar”may also be a clever term that relieves the anxiety of workers by defining the constantly changing labor market and technology companies as more ideal ratherthan“terminators（终结者）.”28．What does“new collar”mean?A．People engaged in cybersecurity.B．People working at electric vehicles.C．People closely connected with artificial intelligence.D．People with advanced skills regardless of degrees.29．What made IBM’s cybersecurity jobs unfilled?A．Much stress.B．Low salaries.C．High qualifications.D．Few candidates.30．What is the benefit of the“new collar”economy to the society?A．It gives more opportunities to the workers.B．It helps artificial intelligence develop better.C．It rebuilds the confidence of the white collar.D．It changes the system of technology companies.31．What is the purpose of the text?A．To explain the anxiety of workers.B．To state the electric vehicle industry.C．To emphasise the college education.D．To introduce the new-collar phenomenon.DBees are more than just honey-makers,They are essential pollinators（传粉者）that help maintain the balance of our ecosystems and the diversity of our crops.Bees are among the most diverse and plentiful insects on Earth,with over20,000species worldwide.They belong to the order Hymenoptera（膜翅目昆虫）,which also includes wasps, ants,and sawflies.Bees have evolved to feed on nectar（花蜜）and pollen from flowers,and in doing so,they transfer pollen from one flower to another,enabling fertilization（受精）and reproduction.This process,called pollination,is essential forthe survival of many plants,especially those that produce fruits,nuts,seeds,and vegetables that we eat.According to the Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO),bees and other pollinators affect35%of global agricultural land,supporting the production of87%of the leading food crops worldwide.Pollination also enhances the quality and quantity of the crops,as well as their resistance to pests and diseases. Without bees and other pollinators,our food supply and our biodiversity would be at risk.Unfortunately,bees are facing many threats,such as habitat loss,pesticide use,climate change,diseases,and invasive species.The FAO estimates that16.5％of vertebrate（脊椎动物）pollinators and40%of invertebratepollinators,such as bees,are facing extinction.This could have serious consequences for our food security,our livelihoods,and our environment.Therefore,it is important to protect the bees and their habitats,and to raise awareness about their role and value.One way to appreciate and support the bees is to learn how to identify them and observe their behavior.You might be surprised by the diversity and beauty of the bees that visit your backyard,garden,or balcony.32．Why are pollinators important?A．They help the bees fertilize.B．They keep the crops diverse.C．They support the bees to make honey.D．They protect insects such as wasps.33．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．How pollination works.B．How the flowers attract bees.C．How the bees reproduce.D．How the plants produce fruits.34．What does the underlined word“This”in Paragraph5probably refer to?A．Climate change.B．Pesticide use.C．Pollinators’survival crisis.D．Bees’habitat loss.35．Which would be the best title for the text?A．A duty:Protect Bees’Habitat B．A Means:Observe Bees’Behaviour C．Bees:Maintainers of the Ecosystem D．Bees:Consumers at the Top of the Food Chain第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
