Silence is a resource, it said.Silence first appeared in scientific research as a control or baseline,against which scientists compare the effects of noise or music.Researchers have mainly studied it by accident,as physician Luciano Bernardi did in his study of the physiological(生理学)effects of music. We didn t think about the effect of silence, he said.Bernardi observed two dozen test subjects while they listened to six musical tracks.He found that the impacts of music could be read directly in the bloodstream,via changes in blood pressure,carbon dioxide,and circulation in the brain. During almost all sorts of music,there was a physiological change with a condition of arousal (兴奋), he explained.This effect made sense,given that active listening requires attention.But the more striking finding appeared between musical tracks.Bernardi and his colleagues discovered that randomly added stretches of silence also had a great effect,but in the opposite direction.In fact,two-minute silent pauses proved far more relaxing than either relaxing music or a longer silence played before the experiment started.The blank pauses that Bernardi had considered irrelevant,in other words,became the most interesting object of study.Silence seemed to be heightened by contrasts,maybe because it gave test subjects a release from careful attention. Perhaps the arousal is something that concentrates the mind in one direction,so that when there is nothing more arousing,then you have deeper relaxation, he said.This finding is reinforced by neurological(神经系统的)research.Relevant research shows when our brains rest quietly,they integrate external and internal information into a conscious (意识的)workspace. Freedom from noise and goal-directed tasks,it appears,unites the quiet without and within,allowing our conscious workspace to do its thing to discover where we fit in. Noora Vikman,a consultant on silence for Finland s marketers,knows silence well.Living in a remote and quiet place in Finland,she discovers thoughts and feelings that aren t detectable in her busy daily life. If you want to know yourself,you have to be with yourself,and discuss with yourself,and be able to talk with yourself.27.Why does the author mention the Country Brand Report in Paragraph1?A.To present how Finland viewed silence.B.To highlight the need of noise in Finland.C.To explain why Finland issued the brands.D.To indicate the authority of the Delegation.28.What can be inferred about Luciano Bernardi s discovery?A.It challenged the calming effect of music.B.It emphasized the role of silence between sounds.C.It illustrated the loss of attentiveness after silence.D.It stated brains information processing in the quiet.29.As for Noora Vikman s attitude to silence,the author is.A.doubtfulB.supportiveC.disapprovingD.unconcerned30.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.Silence:A Limited ResourceB.Silence:A Misunderstood ToolC.Silence:The Unexpected PowerD.Silence:The Value by ContrastsDA few years ago,the City Council of Monza,Italy,barred petowners from keeping goldfish in curved fishbowls.The sponsors of themeasure explained that it is cruel to keep a fish in such a bowlbecause the curved sides give the fish a distorted view of reality.Aside from the measure s significance to the poor goldfish,the storyraises an interesting philosophical question:How do we know that the reality we perceive is true? Physicists are finding themselves in a similar trouble to the goldfish s.For decades they have been pursuing an ultimate theory of everything one complete and consistent set of fundamental laws of nature that explain every aspect of reality.It now appears that this pursuit may generate not a single theory but a family of interconnected theories,each describing its own version of reality, as if it viewed the universe through its own fishbowl.This concept may be difficult for many people to accept.Most people believe that there is an objective reality out there and that our senses and our science directly convey(传达)information about the material world.In philosophy,that beliefIn physics,realism is becoming difficult to defend.Instead,the idea of alternative realities is a mainstay of today s popular culture.For example,in the science-fiction film The Matrix the human race is unknowingly living in a simulated(模拟的)virtual reality created by intelligent computers.How do we know we are not just computer-generated characters living in a Matrix-like world?If like us the beings in the simulated world could not observe their universe from the outside,they would have no reason to doubt their own pictures of reality. Similarly,the goldfish s view is not the same as ours from outside their curved bowl.For instance,because light bends as it travels from air to water,a freely moving object that we would observe to move in a straight line would be observed by the goldfish to move along a curved path. The goldfish could form scientific laws from their frame(框架)of reference that would always hold true and that would enable them to make predictions about the future motion of objects outside the bowl.If the goldfish formed such a theory,we would have to admit the goldfish s view as a reasonable picture of reality.The goldfish example shows that the same physical situation can be modeled in different ways,each employing different fundamental elements and concepts.It might be that to describe the universe we have to employ different theories in different situations.It is not the physicist s traditional expectation for a theory of nature,nor does it correspond to our everyday idea of reality. But it might be the way of the universe.31.What does the underlined word distorted in Paragraph1most probably mean?A.Original.㊀㊀B.Accurate.㊀㊀C.Distant.㊀㊀D.False.32.What does Paragraph2mainly tell us?A.The need for a complete theory.B.The lasting conflict in physics.C.The existence of the material world.D.The conventional insight of reality.33.What can we learn from the passage?A.Nature s mysteries are best left undiscovered.B.An external world is independent of the observers.C.People s theories are influenced by their viewpoints.D.It is essential to figure out which picture of reality is better.34.According to the passage,the author may agree that.A.various interpretations of the universe are welcomedB.physicists have a favorite candidate for the final theoryC.multiple realities can be pieced together to show the real world第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑㊂选项中有两项为多余选项㊂An apology can achieve great things for both the givers and the receivers although nobody likes to admit that they were wrong.An apology is crucial to our physical health.When we acknowledge that we are wrongdoers and express our guilt to others,we will free ourselves from the uncomfortable state.This act feels like a weight on us has been lifted.㊀35㊀Research showed that heart rate,sweat levels and facial tension decreased in victims of wrongs even when they simply imagined receiving an apology.Apologizing affects us not just physically,but also mentally.㊀36㊀When presented with an apology,the victims may view us as imperfect human beings and find it easier to give forgiveness. In a powerful piece in Psychology Today,writer Beverly Engel described how a simple I m sorry from her mother,after being estranged from each other for three years,made her relieved emotionally.But let s be real,apologizing can be difficult.㊀37㊀We should recognize our action did hurt someone even if our intention may not have been so.Instead of making excuses for what we did,try to bear responsibility and offer a promise to take action so that we will not repeat the behavior in future.㊀38㊀Of course,the most effective apologies often bring a cost to our dignity,since we have to admit that we are wrong in front of others or many people.㊀39㊀As is known,it is one of the most positive actions we can take when we do something wrong for ourselves,the others,and the relationship.So,go ahead,apologize a little more often for the things worth apologizing for.A.There are agreed-upon ways to express our apology to others.B.It s a way of showing the price we paid for the wronged action.C.A good apology affects the health of those on the receiving end,too.D.But this can often be minor compared to the benefits of a proper apology.E.This means we should take the blame and not try to justify it or explain it away.F.Apologize for what you did rather than what other people might have thought about it.G.It has the ability to disarm others of their anger and to prevent further misunderstandings.第三部分㊀书面表达(共两节,32分)第一节(共4小题;第40㊁41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题㊂请在答题卡指定区域作答㊂Building relationships and working successfully with different cultural backgrounds can seem like a major challenge.But you can enjoy the rewards,while keeping dissatisfaction to aminimum.The key to making them work is cultural competence.Essentially,cultural competence is defined as the ability to understand and interact effectively with people from different cultures. Cultural competence is critical for everyone in today s modern world.Living and working in a culturally diverse environment sometimes comes with differences of opinion and tension.People with strong cultural competence can resolve these issues creatively,even if a solution seems impossible at first.What s more,thinking and caring about others with different experiences can bring out a sense of understanding.This helps to build trust between each other. Cultural competence can be improved through training,education,and experience.Here are some simple tips to help you improve your cultural competence.Assess yourselfThe starting point is to understand your own cultural values and world view.Assess the current level of cultural competence in yourself and identify the knowledge,skills and resources that you want to acquire.This can give you an idea of your strengths and weaknesses in the area so that you can improve yourself in future.Practice good mannersNo matter whom you are dealing with,make sure that you are respecting others backgrounds, boundaries and customs.Pay close attention to your communication and make sure that you re speaking to others in a kind and polite way.Ask questionsWhen you don t understand something or want to know why someone has behaved in a certain way,simply ask.Asking questions stops you making unnecessary assumptions,and shows the questions you did not understand to them.Keep in mind that developing cultural competence is not a one-shot enterprise.It takes time and practice.Whether you are in a classroom or on campus,cultural competence plays an important role in your daily environment.Recognizing and dealing with cultural differences will create a happier setting for everyone.40.What is cultural competence according to the passage?41.Why is cultural competence important for people in intercultural environment?42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.To improve our cultural competence,we should not only understand our strengths andweaknesses in this area,but also ask questions when we don t understand others behaviors,even if we may speak in an impolite way.43.Apart from the tips mentioned in the passage,what other way(s)can you think of to develop your cultural competence?(In about40words)第二节(20分)假设你是红星中学高三学生李华㊂你班交换生Jim打算利用寒假在家锻炼身体,发来邮件向你咨询㊂请你给他写一封回信,内容包括:1.推荐一款app和推荐理由;2.给出运动建议㊂注意:1.词数100左右;2.开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数㊂Dear Jim,㊀㊀㊀Yours,Li Hua北京市朝阳区2022～2023学年度第一学期期末质量检测高三英语参考答案2023.1第一部分知识运用（共两节，30分）第一节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分）1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．B6．A 7．D 8．C 9．D 10.

That ambition nearly ended in 2010 when Hill was in a car accident, which put the 17- year-old high school senior in hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed from the waist down. For most people, that would have destroyed any hope of a dancing career. But for Hill, it was the beginning. Far from being a barrier, her wheelchair encouraged her to fight. “I want to prove to everyone including myself that I'm still normal,” she said, "whatever normal means."Normal for her meant dancing, so Hill did it in her wheelchair alongside her nondisabled high school dance team. Half of her body was taken away from her, so she had to move it with her hands. It took much learning and patience.After graduation from high school, Hill wanted to expand her dance network to include women like her. She met people online who were fighting for the dream of dancing against various spinal(脊椎的)injuries, and invited them to dance with her. To reach more people in a larger city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities she called the Rollettes.Every year Hill holds a dance camp called the Rollettes Experience for wheelchair users to help them bring out their acting talent. In 2019, 173 participants from ten countries attended. For many, it was the first time they'd felt they belonged. Edna Serrano said that being part of the Rollettes team gave her the courage to get behind the wheel of a car. “I didn't know I could do so many things that my fellow teammates had taught me.” she said. “I didn't know I could be sexy. It's so powerful to have my teammates in my life, because they're my teachers. I have more confidence.”Chelsie Hill attained what many of us never will: her childhood dream. She has been chasing her dream in the wheelchair. She's a dancer. The Rollettes have helped her find something else just as fulfilling.34. What happened to Chelsie Hill in 2010?A. She last her hope of dancing.B. She suffered from a serious disease.C. She realized her dream of becoming a dancer.D. She was severely disabled due to a car accident.35. W hy did Chelsie Hill set up the Rollettes in 2014?A. To expand her social network.B. To enlarge her dance business.C. To seek more chances to dance.D. To motivate more people like her.36. What change did the Rolleltes Experience bring to Edna Serrano?A. She could help others.B. She had more faith in herself.C. She learned how to drive.D. She became sexier than before.37. Which of the following words can best describe Chelsie Hill?A. Modest and professional.B. Responsible and creative.C. Determined and inspiring.D. Cooperative and generous.CIn the first few years of their lives, children brought up in English-speaking homes successfully master the use of hundreds of words, including those for objects, actions, emotions, and many other aspects of the physical world. However, when it comes to learning colour words, the same children perform very badly. If shown a blue cup and asked about its colour, typical two-year-olds seem as likely to come up with “red” as“blue”.Cognitive (认知) scientists at Stanford University in California supposed that children’s incompetence at colour-word learning may be directly linked to the way these words are used in English. They are used mostly in pre-nominal position (e.g. “blue cup”), in contrast to post-nominal position (e.g. “The cup is blue.”). The difficulty children have may simply come down to the challenge of having to make predictions from colour words to the objects they refer to, rather than from the objects to the colour words.To explore this idea further, the research team recruited 40 English children aged between 23 and 29 months and carried out a three-phase experiment. It considered of a pre-test, followed by training in the use of colour words, and finally a post-test that was identical to the pre-test. The pre- and post- test materials comprised six objects that were unfamiliar to the children. There were three examples of each object in each of three colours — red, yellow and blue. The objects were presented on trays (托盘), and in both tests, the children were asked to pick out objects in response to requests in which the colour word was either a pre-nominal (“Which is the red one?”) or a post-nominal (“Which one is red?”).In the training, the children were introduced to five sets of familiar items (balls, cups, crayons, glasses, and toy bears) in each of the three colours. Half the children were presented with the items one by one and heard them labeled with colour words used pre-nominally, while the other half were introduced to the same items described with a post-nominal colour word. After the training, the children repeated the selection task on the novel items in the post-test. Correct choices on items that were consistent across the pre- and post-tests were used to measure children’s colour knowledge.According to the assessment, children’s performance was consistent when they were both trained and tested on post-nominal adjectives, and worst when trained on pre-nominal adjectives and tested on post-nominal adjectives. Comparing the pre- and post-test scores across each condition revealed a significant decline in performance when children were both pre- and post-tested with questions that placed the colour words pre-nominally.38. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?A. To present a phenomenon.B. To make a contrast.C. To give a possible explanation.D. To provide an example.39. What can we learn about the experiment from the passage?A. The children had to place the pre-and post-test objects onto coloured trays.B. The children were presented with the same objects in the pre- and post-tests.C. Pre-nominal questions were less used than post-nominal questions in thetraining.D. The researchers aimed to look for consistencies in children’s knowledgeof word order.40. What does the underlined word “novel” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Imaginary.B. Unknown.C. Familiar.D. Common.41. The outcome of the experiment shows that .A. children are unable to accurately sort objects by colourB. children trained on pre-nominal adjectives perform wellC. children learn colour words rapidly in post-nominal positionD. children can make predictions from the objects to the colour wordsDIn the picture Landscape with Diogenes by the 17th century French artist Poussin, the ancient philosopher Diogenes is described casting away his last possession, a drinking bowl. H e realizes he doesn’t need it after seeing a youth cupping a hand to drink from a river. The significance for us is that Diogenes’ spiritual descendants (后代) known as “new minimalists” are now everywhere, if not as completely possession-free as he was.There are hundreds of websites praising the virtues of tidy living. Everyone is trying to cut down on things these days. People are trying to reduce their carbon footprints, their waistlines, and their monthly outgoings. What’s more, there’s a general fear that people are becoming choked by their possessions, and this is fueled by the knowledge that the leading hobby these days seems to be shopping. It’s true, sales of e-readers and e-books go beyond those of paperbacks. As a result, the need for bookshelves is cut out.However, today’s new minimalists don’t urge us to burn our books and destroy our CDs, but just make sure we have them as digital files. So, for example, I have digitised versions of some of my old vinyl LP (黑胶) records and haven’t, as yet, stimulated myself to take the LPs to the nearest charity shop – and I admit I shall probably go on keeping them. Technology has gone beyond our dreams and there is always the doubt that our hard drives will crash and all will be lost. Far more important, however, is the fact that our memories are so inseparably tied to our possessions that we can’t get rid of stuff. We are not exactly suffering withdrawal symptoms (症状) as we try to break our addiction to objects. We are just acquiring new stuff, which means we can bin or recycle our old stuff.I’m happy to have found another website which seems to solve a whole lot of problems at once – a thriving online advice service offering storage solutions. The interior (室内的) designer responsible for this does not suggest getting rid of stuff, but rather recommends buying more stuff such as elegant flexible baskets or colourful lidded containers to hide the first lot of stuff from view. I love this philosophy –convince yourself you’ve got your desire for possessions under control, without having to lose a thing. After all, we aren’t merciless enough to follow Diogenes and cast away all our possessions.42. Why does the author mention a picture by the artist Poussin?A. It illustrates a modern trend.B. It describes a wise philosopher.C. Its meaning is only now becoming clear.D. Its message is not as simple as it appears.43. The author believes minimalism may not succeed mainly because of people’s.A. resistance to media pressureB. laziness in the face of changeC. lack of faith in digital hardwareD. strong bond with physical objects44. According to the author, people invest in smart new storage in order to.A. satisfy their desire to make purchasesB. make attractive additions to their homesC. provide a temporary solution to a problemD. ease their conscience over having too many things.45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Less is MoreB. Low Carbon Is an AttitudeC. Treasure What You HaveD. Psychology of Overconsumption.第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分，共10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
