2023年河南省部分重点中学高考英语一模试卷AHere are some beautiful classic road-tripping routes in California.Pacific Coast Highway (PCH)There are wonderful options including dramatic sea cliffs,sun-soaked surfing towns,playful harbor seals and the Golden Gate Bridge.You'd better avoid driving here in the spring and summer months,when the central and northern coastline can be socked in by fog and the rainy season can lead to landslides.Instead,September and October will yield the sunniest skies and some of the best weather as you spend a week checking this beauty off your bucket list.Highway 49 (Hwy 49)That highway number is significant:It is in memory of the 49 people who came seeking for fortune in California's original Gold Rush.Today the route winds through Gold Country towns such as Placerville and Nevada City,past ghostly Old West mines and Victorian buildings.Hwy 49 comes mighty close to Yosemite National Park (15 miles)and Lake Tahoe (75 miles),both of which are good places for family camping.Route 66Enjoy your trip on America's "Mother Road",which brought Dust Bowl refugees,Holly-wood starlets and hippies to California.Drive slowly from the desert to the Pacific Ocean,pulling up alongside retro relics,sleeping in a tipi hotel and fueling up in neon-lit diners.Avenue of the GiantsThe incredible 32-mile road at Humboldt Redwoods State Park is canopied by the world's tallest trees.It's one of the most justifiably celebrated drives in California.The best time is in the morning when sunlight glints off dew-drenched ferns.Among the majestic (壮观的)woods along the Avenue,there is an interesting four-sided hearth,designed by renowned architect Julia Morgan.Walking trails wind through all the woods for proper tree-hugging.1. Why should we avoid driving on the PCH in spring and summer______A. It is too hot.B. It can be windy.C. It may be dangerous.D. It is too crowded.2. Which road is used to honour people looking for fortune in Gold Rush with itsname?______A. Pacific Coast Highway.B. Highway 49.C. Route 66.D. Avenue of the Giants.3. What is the purpose of the walking trails in the majestic woods?______A. To make people hug trees easily.B. To attract more people to camp there.C. To make visitors walk around randomly.D. To help people plant trees more conveniently.BGood Morning Britain (GMB)launches special "listening benches" in order to solve loneliness.EastEnders star Maisie Smith joined Susanna and Martin in the studio to talk about her involvement in a special part of the 1 Million Minutes campaign —GMB's special "listening benches" across the country.Six special "listening benches" have been designed by six celebrities,and can be found in six cities across the UK — and they're in place to encourage people to strike up a conversation.Maisie joined the show to share why the campaign is important to her."I'm always very open about mental health," Maisie explained. "It doesn't matter who you are,where you're from,what you have — everyone is going through something and I just think the world would be a kinder place if everyone understood that.""I think especially growing up in the limelight (引人注目)as a teenager,you're very judgemental of yourself when you do see comments of other people judging you.It can add to the stress of the things you re already going through.I think people do think I'm confident because I cover my nerves with a big smile and that's whatI've been doing in my whole life."Susanna asked Maisie if she had a technique for dealing with her nerves. "It depends on what it is," said Maisie. "A lot of the time — and it's going to sound really stupid — but I write a script.I write down all of the questions that I could be asked and try to come up with something so that my brain won't go blank when I'm under pressure.4. What is the theme of "listening benches"?______A. Caring for oneself.B. Changing the world.C. Dealing with loneliness.D. Protecting the environment.5. Why did Maisie Smith join the studio______A. To let people know about her life.B. To share her feelings of the campaign.C. To set up a model for other celebrities.D. To ask more people to express their mind.6. What is Maisie's attitude toward her mental health?______A. Protective.B. Private.C. Serious.D. Outspoken.7. What is the text mainly about?______A. A programme on mental health.B. GMB interviewing celebrities.C. Techniques for responding to nerves.D. Preparations before being interviewed.CHorseback riding might not seem like a typical New York City activity,but one program has several horse farms throughout the city's busy districts.GallopNYC provides lessons to veterans(老兵)and people with disabilities — horseback riding is their therapy(疗法).Olivia Diver visits the GallopNYC location in the Howard Beach neighborhood in Queens.Diver has only been riding horses for a few months,but says she's already felt the benefits. "It helped me come out of my comfort zone and be less shy and less in my shell," she said.Trying something new shows her she can accomplish other things as well.James Wilson,executive director at GallopNYC,says there are many ways horses can be therapeutic. "The horse sees the world in the way somebody withpost-traumatic stress disor-der (PTSD)might see the world,in a really guarded,sort of anxious way," he explained. "So,somebody with PTSD and a horse can sort of partner together and see the world in the same way and kind of take care of each other." Horses can also help with physical disabilities.After two years of therapeutic riding,a teenager,who had so little core strength that his mother had to be in the bathtub with him,had enough core strength that he could be in the shower by himself.Wilson said,"The movement of the horse will loosen up muscles that might be really tight.And the movement helps stimulate other body parts and other muscles that you might not use. ""CallopNYC has about 1,000 people on is waitlist for lessons,but prioritizes people with disabilities and veterans.We believe that everybody benefits from the time on a horse,so if you want to ride a horse,come on,let's go," Wilson said.Lessons are ﹩55,but the non-profit fundraises to help cover or lower the cost for customers who may need support.8. Why does GallopNYC offer the lessons?______A. To make horse riding typical in NYC.B. To provide part-time jobs for veterans.C. To promote disabled people's incomes.D. To offer a cure to special groups.9. What can we infer about Olivia Diver______A. She has learned new life skills.B. She has found her comfort zone.C. She has gained much confidence.D. She has changed her attitude to horses.10. What does paragraph 3 intend to show______A. GallopNYC's leader.B. The effect of the therapy.C. Profit James Wilson has got.D. Ways of guarding people's anxiety.11. What does Wilson think of the program according to the last paragraph?______A. It is well received.B. It is highly profitable.C. It needs to be more creative.D. It takes ages to see the results.DScience reporting on climate change does lead Americans to adopt more accurate beliefs and support government action on the issue,but these gains are fragile,a new study suggests.Researchers found that these accurate beliefs fade quickly when people are exposed to coverage skeptical of climate change."It is not the case that the American public does not respond to scientifically informed reporting when they are exposed to it," said Thomas Wood,associate professor of political science at the Ohio State University. "But even truly accurate science reporting recedes from people's frame of reference very quickly."Results showed that accurate science reporting didn't persuade only politicians and people who initially rejected human-caused climate change also had their opinions shifted by reading accurate articles.The study involved 2,898 online participants who participated in four waves of the experiment during the fall of 2020.In the first wave,they all read authentic articles in the popular media that provided information reflecting the seientifie views on climate change.In the second and thirdwaves,they read either another scientific article,an opinion article that was skeptical of climate science,or an article on an unrelated subjeet.In the fourth wave,the participants simply were asked their beliefs about the science of climate change and their policy attitudes.To rate participants' scientific understanding.the researchers asked after each wave if they believed that climate change is happening and has a human cause.To measure their attitudes,researchers asked participants if they favored government action on climate change and if they favored renewable energy."What we found suggests that people need to hear the same accurate messages about climate change again and again.If they only hear it once,it recedes very quickly," Wood said.It was significant that accurate reporting had positive effects on all groups,including those who originally rejected climate change.But it was even more encouraging that it affected attitudes.12. What does the underlined word "recedes" in paragraph 2 mean______A. Increases.B. Graduates.C. Disappears.D. Strikes.13. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us______A. The research object.B. The research result.C. The research purpose.D. The research procedure.14. Why did researchers ask participants the second question?______A. To survey the government's satisfaction rate.B. To make an assessment on their attitudes.C. To teach them scientific understanding.D. To measure action on climate change.15. What can be the best title for the text?______A. Science Report Of Climate Change Can Affect MindsB. Online Participants Joined In A Four-Wave ExperimentC. Accurate Science Reporting Don't Persuade Only PoliticiansD. People Should Hear Accurate Messages About Climate ChangeAnxiety can be treated with medication.(1)______ .So,what else can be done to help Here are three ways for your reference.Lavender (薰衣草)Evidence suggests that lavender may be as effective as medicine in improving common and persistent anxiety. (2)______ .Lavender has no sedative,making it a safe alternative.Researchers found that the smell seemed to help mice relax,allowing them toexplore brightly lit and unfamiliar territory. (3)______ .That is probably because they were more anxious.Talking therapies(4)______ .A psychologist explained,"Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)teaches us to become aware of the thoughts and body sensations that make up our anxious experience.It takes courage and can feel counter-intuitive,but when we approach anxious thoughts and body sensations (tension in muscles,knot in the stomach)with curiosity and kindness-rather than trying to fight them-we give anxiety less power."MindfulnessMindfulness meditation can be an excellent way of returning our anxious mind back to the present.The object of our focus may be the sensations in our body as we sit or walk or breathe or it may be some external stimuli such as sound or an object. (5)______A.We worry for many reasonsB.It's thought to make the brain calmC.Mice were used in their experiment to test this therapyD.Mice not exposed to lavender preferred to hide in the darkE.Mindfulness helps us see what is here at the present momentF.We can approach anxiety with a kind and courageous attitudeG.However,experts agree other approaches may also be effective16.

Skywells were designed to cool buildings before air-conditioning existed.When wind blows above a skywell house,it can enter the indoor space through the opening.Because outdoor air is often cooler than indoor air,the___45___breeze travels down the walls to the lower storeys and create air___46___by replacing warmer indoor air,which rises and leaves through the opening.The main purpose of a skywell is to allow in light,improve ventilation(通风)and___47___ rainwater.In Huizhou,a skywell is small but tall,and the rooms around it can___48___sunlight on hot days,enabling the bottom of the skywell to stay cool.___49___hot air inside the house can rise and escape through the opening above the skywell,which“works just like a___50___”As a(n)___51___space between indoor life and the outdoor environment,a skywell acts as an effective heat buffer(缓冲)to shield residents from the hot air outside.But the largest part of skywell's cooling effect actually comes when there are bodies of water in the enclosure.Evaporated water cools hot air,a process known as evaporative cooling which is___52___in Huizhou skywells.In the past,Huizhou families collected rainwater in their skywells because they believed this could safeguard and boost their wealth.Skywells therefore have channels around them to___53___rainwater coming from the roofs.Though existing in China for hundreds of years,in recent times they have often been forgotten by people who prefer modern___54___.Over the past two decades,however,due to a___55 ___of traditional Chinese architecture,skywell buildings have been making a comeback.41.A.Parallel with B.Different from.

They're not.Louisiana has the highest murder rate among states.Prison,like the police and the courts,has a minimal impact on crime because it is a response after the fact,Ht doesn't work.The idea of punishing the few to discourage the many is fake because potential criminals either think they're not going to get caught or they're so psychologically distressed that they don't care.about the consequences of their actions.The threatened punishment,regardless of its severity,is never a factor in the equation.Prison has a role in public safety,but it is not a cure-all.The only effective way to contain crime is for society to work to prevent the criminal act in the first place.Our youngsters must be taught to respect humanity of others and to handle dispute without violence.It is essential to educate and equip them with the skills to pursue their life ambitions in a meaningful way.As a community,we must address the adverse life circumstances that breed criminality.These things are not quick,and they are not easy,but they are effective.Politicians think that's too hard a sell. They want something they can point to at re-election time.So the drumbeat goes on for more police,more prisons,more of the same failed policies.Ever see a dog chase its own tail?63,Which of the following situations is not regarded as a"silver bullet"?A Employing a roundabout way to help students correct their mistakes.B.Setting up refuges to shelter the homeless war victims.C.Training farmers with farming techniques to help them out of poverty.D.Adopting effective policies to save economy from worsening.64.According to the passage,law makers'failure to make proper legislation is due to the fact that_______.A.they are proud and boastful of high lock-up ratesB.they fail to address the root of the problemC.they don't treat people of different races alikeD.they give priority to precaution over punishment65.The idiom best describing the effective way to ease the severity of crime in Louisiana is_____A.turn over a new leaf.B.get a kick out of itC.an eye for an eye.D.prevention is better than cure66.What is the best title for the passage?A.Prisons—A Tool for Election.B.Why Prisons Don't WorkC.An Appeal from a Murderer.D.Why Society Is a Safer Place Section CDirections:Read the following passages.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.They are culturally distant,and so have far less borrowed European vocabulary too.B.This more than anything else accounts for the difficulty of the language.C.Indeed,none of the hardest languages is written with the Latin alphabet used by most European languages.D.But foreign writing systems need not be difficult.E.The overall hardness of a language can be seen as the sum of the difficulty of its writing system,sounds,words and grammar.F.But just as hart is the problem of languages that make distinctions our language does notWhich Languages Take the Longest to LearnThe difficulty in learning a foreign language lies not only in its inherent complexity.The main reason a language is hard is that it is different from your own.What underlies the difficulty of such languages for an English-speaker?The first thing many learners will think of is the writing system. ______67______Chinesestands out for its difficulty.It is commonly said that a learner must memorize around2,000characters to be able to read a newspaper.But even this estimate is criticized.Someone with2,000characters will still have to look up unfamiliar ones in every few lines of text.A second way languages can be hard is with sounds and distinctions that do not exist in the learner's language,To an English-speaker,the novelties include the clicks of many African languages._______68_______Mandarin and Cantonese have tones,meaning ma with an even pitch and ma with a falling one are different words.The vocabulary obviously matters too.Most European languages share an ancestor(called proto-Indo European)and so their words,too,often come in related pairs.If you know water in Spanish is agua,it is easy to figure out Italian acqua and English nguages unrelated to the European ones(Arabic from the Semitic family,or Chinese from the Sino-Tibetan one) will not only lack the“genetic”overlap in vocabulary.____69______.Finally,there is grammar.Many people associate tricky grammar with long lists of endings that change according to a word's use in a sentence Many languages even feature an ending on verbs indicating how the speaker knows the information to be true._____70_____If you want to learn a language just for fun,start with Swedish,If you want to accumulate an impressive number.Stay in Europe.But if you really want to impress. mastering Mandarin is the sign of the true linguistic Ironman.IV.Summary Writing(10分)71.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Does Reading Improve HealthWhen thinking about our well being and taking care of ourselves,some things that weshould do are harder than others.Reading is one of the easier ones.What follows are a number of ways in which reading can help maintain and improve health.Reading allows you to de-stress by unplugging and escaping.In one study,reading was found to be as effective as yoga and humor in reducing subjective feelings of stress over a30-minute period,as well as blood pressure and heart rate.Note that a good old-fashioned book or a dedicated eBook reader is the best way to do this.Readers may live longer than non-readers.One study found that this was supposed to be due to the effect that reading has on maintaining cognitive abilities over time.In another study of individuals aged64and over,those who read at least once a week were less likely to experience cognitive decline than those who did not.At the14-year mark of the study,and regardless of educational level,those who read more enjoyed greater protection.This effect is maintained into readers'80's.Bibliotherapy,or the use of various reading materials for the promotion of psychological health,is a well-known aid to mental health treatment.Bibliotherapy can consist of any type of literature and may include self-help books,focused readings,first-hand accounts of others' experiences,and even relevant fiction.This can be a powerful strategy and has been used successfully to reduce depression,suicidal thinking,anxiety,stress and etc.The benefits of reading are innumerable and reading is a low to no-cost activity.Cheap and no-cost books are everywhere,Public libraries continue to be one of the most amazing resources.If you aren't a natural reader,you have nothing to lose by giving it a try.第二卷V.Translation(15分)Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.虽然青少年爱和父母顶嘴,但是他们内心是尊重父母的。

"Digital tracing is where we're trying to take the field of dietary assessment," she says.However,the study didn't account for one key element of the student diet:the lunch students bring to campus. "We don't know what people cook at home and bring to campus," says Gligoric,who hopes to incorporate that in future studies.4.What aspect of the study is mainly described in paragraph 1? ______A. The purpose.B. The process.C. The background.D. The participants.5.What does the underlined word "deviated" mean in paragraph 2? ______A. Stopped.B. Declined.C. Varied.D. Spread.6.What did the researchers find in their study? ______A. People generally prefer healthy eating.B. People tend to make friends with healthy eaters.C. People usually learn from those preferring healthy food.D. People pick items similar to the person they're eating with.7.What was ignored in the study? ______A. The cooking skills.B. The packed Lunch.C. The food in school.D. Seasonal variation.CTo promote employees' creativity,managers should consider offering a set of rewards for them to choose from,according to a new study by management experts at Rice University.The study,co-authored by Jing Zhou,the Mary Gibbs Jones Professor of Management and Psychology at Rice's Jones Graduate School of Business,is the first to systematically examine the effects of reward choice in a field experiment,which was conducted in the context of an organization-wide suggestion program."Organizations spend a lot of resources and make a great deal of effort in designing incentive(激励的)plans that reward the employees who exhibit creativity at work," Zhou said. "Our results showed that the effort may be a bit misplaced.Instead of discovering one reward type that is particularly effective at promoting creativity,what is more effective is to provide the employees with theopportunity to choose from several reward types,if they submit one or more ideas that are among the top 20% most creative ones." Workers in the study were given a range of options:a financial reward for the individual employee or their team,a self-discretionary (自由决定的)reward such as getting priority to select days off,or a donation the company made to a charity selected by the employee.Those choices had positive,significant effects on the number of creative ideas employees thought up and the creativity level of those ideas.The studies also found that rewards aimed at helping others,such as making a donation to a charity,might be especially powerful.But for less-creative employees,alternative rewards that benefit those in need might actually lower creativity and should be avoided.The researchers also found that the choice of rewards developed creativity by raising the employees' belief in their ability to be creative.Alternative rewards also had a powerful impact on promoting the creativity of employees who earlier had scored high on an assessment of creative personality characteristics.8.Why was the study conducted? ______A. To promote employees' creativity.B. To discover and reward creative employees.C. To set an example to other organizations.D. To examine the effects of different reward choices.9.Which of the following statements would Professor Zhou agree with? ______A. Effects of reward choice in a field experiment are random.B. It's necessary to confirm which reward is the most effective.C. It's advisable to let employees choose their own favorite reward types.D. It's inappropriate to choose from the top 20% most creative employees.10.What does the study show about less-creative employees? ______A. They prefer donating to a charity.B. They resist priority to select days off.C. They lack the opportunity to get promoted.D. They tend to enjoy a self-benefiting reward.11.What's the best title for the text? ______A. Financial rewards can motivate employeesB. Use rewards effectively to promote creativityC. Effects of rewards on employees can't be ignoredD. Make every effort to design the best incentive plansDIt's a common occurrence:You sit down to study and find yourself thinking about a friend,dinner-anything but your upcoming test.Our minds wander.A lot.That new train of thought has been tied to creativity.But some minds get stuck,focused on the same thoughts over and over.A new study finds that patterns of electrical activity in the brain track different types of thoughts.This is the first-time scientists have tied the brain's activity to our thought patterns.The study hired 39 young adults to come into a lab,where they wore a sensor-lined cap that detects brainwaves in the area below.While wearing the cap,each participant sat at a computer.An arrow appeared on the screen,pointing either right or left.When it did,they had to press the matching arrow on the keyboard.If that sounds like a simple task,it was.And that was intentional.The researchers wanted the participants to do a task that allowed their minds to wander.At the end of the task,researchers asked the participants what their thoughts were doing as they completed the task.Were they focused on the task?Were their thoughts wandering freely?Were they deliberately focusing on some topic?Or were their thoughts stuck on one specific thing?That last type is one that doesn't easily go away.Such thoughts might include worrying about a family member or replaying an argument with a friend.When the researchers matched up different thought.types to specificbrain activities,they found a clear connection.That was especially true in a part of the brain right behind the forehead.This frontal lobe (额叶)is linked to attention,memory and problem-solving.But stronger alpha waves in this region did not indicate people focused their thoughts—either on the task or on something else."The alpha waves have been shown during creative processes as well," says Julia Kam,a cognitive neuroscientist.And in this study,"that's when thoughts jump from one thing to another.Such freely moving thoughts may be the key to creative problem-solving."12.What did the new study focus on? ______A. How to solve problems quickly.B. How to avoid absent-mindedness.C. How brain activities are tied to thought patterns.D. How the brain forms different types of thoughts.13.Why was the arrow task designed to be so easy for the participants? ______A. To get a convincing study result.B. To help them concentrate on the task.C. To keep their brain open to other thoughts.D. To ensure they would press correct arrows.14.What were the participants required to do at the end of the study? ______A. Focus on some specific topics.B. Press "Enter" on the keyboard.C. Type their thoughts into the computer.D. Answer the researchers' questions.15.Which pattern of thought is linked to strong alpha waves in the frontal lobe? ______A. A wandering mind.B. A focused mind.C. A conscious mind.D. A dull mind.Something that is interactive involves input or actions on the part of the user.Interactive reading thus requires some involvement on the part of the reader.Print books with alternative endings,e-books with hyperlinks,virtual books,websites and even blogs and wikis are examples of things that can be read interactively. (1)Elementary school teachers expose their students to various forms of interactive reading. (2) Teachers use a variety of tools,methods and interactive lessons to increase retention(记忆)of topics and further learning.Interactive learning materials such as companion websites provide additional involvement beyond the text.(3) Adults have the ability to learn online from a variety of interactive media.Newspaper and magazine websites are primary examples.Through online content,publishers encourage readers to go beyond the printed text or online articles.Readers can comment-provide feedback,attend online seminars or glean resources for further study from reading and following links.The use of interactive learning materials,and indeed the entire concept of interactive reading,is commonly associated with technology. (4) Pop-up books with movable elements and additional content appeared in Victorian-era learning materials.These early forms of interactive reading sought to engage children with manipulative(操作的)components to illustrate concepts and complex systems.Modern technology allows for a far deeper and broader use of interactive media. (5) They achieve this by using multimedia tools,online content and various interactions.A.Interactive learning can help make reading fun.B.Learning how to read can be challenging for any other child.C.Readers become a necessary part of their own absorption of information.D.Actually,encouraging the interaction of readers while reading is not new.E.The aim is to teach language art skills and improve reading comprehension.F.School-age children are not the only ones to benefit frominteractive reading.G.In these examples,the action of the readers influences their experience of a text.16.

later(BNPL)spending is expected to rise to record levels this holiday season.With so many young “buy now,pay later”shoppers already in debt from this short-term financing tool not requiring interest,questions emerge: Why do these shoppers use such a tool?And what risks does it pose to their budgets in the months(21)______(come)?The many Generation Z and millennials(typically around40years and younger)tend to use this short-term financing,(22)______allows them to buy items and pay for them over time.Offered mostly by financial technologies, BNPL allows these customers to pay back their purchases(23)______interest and with the first payment usually made at checkout.The most common“buy now,pay later”plan is(24)______customers make four equal payments and pay off the debt in six weeks.It’s been a lifeline for some people,such as a university student(25)______weekly income is not big enough.“BNPL provides consumers with flexible payment options so they(26)______manage spending,”said Vivek Pandya,lead analyst at Adobe Digital Insights.That is of great importance for many consumers,especially(27) ______with a tendency to purchase higher-cost items.However,since BNPL(28)______(appear),warnings from experts have come into our view.They have been indicating that it’s financially unhealthy to form such a spending habit.According to New York

need.A.attractiveB.botheredC.buildingD.contrastsE.crossedF.demonstratesG.dramaticallyH.greyedI.instrumental J.sustaining K.vividlyA Review on OppenheimerOppenheimer is Christopher Nolan’s film about J.Robert Oppenheimer,the man known as“the father of the atomic (原子的)bomb”.As a drama about genius,pride and error,it31the life of the American theoretical physicist who helped research and develop the two atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki,two cities in Japan, during World War II.Oppenheimer is a great achievement,partly because it32relates that period of history thanks to Nolan’s lifelike filmmaking.Nolan goes deep and long on the33of the bomb,but he doesn’t restage the attacks and there are no documentary images of the dead or cities in ashes.The story tracks Oppenheimer across decades,starting in the1920s with him as a young adult and continuing until his hair34.The film touches on his personal and professional milestones,the controversies that35him,and the attacks that nearly ruined him.Besides,the friendships and romances36him,yet also troubling,are also described.The path of Oppenheimer’s life37shifted at Berkeley.He was once only an academic there,but his identity changed after Germany entered Poland by force.By that time,Oppenheimer had become friends with Ernest Lawrence,a physicist who invented the historic particle accelerator(粒子加速器)and played a(n)38role in the Manhattan Project.And Oppenheimer also met the project’s military head and was then made director of Los Alamos,where much of his later research on nuclear weapons took place.François Truffaut once wrote that“war films,even those who support peace,even the best,willingly or not,present wars in a certain39way.”That is why Nolan refuses to show the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,killing millions of souls.In the film,you hear that Oppenheimer’s famous words40his own mind as the mushroom cloud rose:“Now I am become Death,the destroyer of worlds.”Nolan is actually reminding audience to reconsider the roles they can play in the world.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Paris has long been at the heart of the history of flight.It is where the Montgolfier brothers went up in the first hot-air balloon in1783,and where Charles Lindbergh completed the first one-person transatlantic aeroplane journey in 1927.Next year,if all goes to plan,Paris will witness the birth of another industry41,when Volocopter,a German maker of electric aircraft,launches a flying-taxi service during the Olympic Games.At the Paris Airshow in June, Volocopter and some of its competitors displayed a new generation of42flying machines designed for urban transport.The electrification of aviation(航空)has often been dismissed as a pipe dream,with batteries assumed too heavy a 43for traditional fuel in an airborne vehicle.For longer journeys,that may well be true.Yet upstarts like Volocopter are betting that electrification can44a boom in demand for clean and quick air journeys over shorter distances.The main form of a flying taxi under45,called an electric vertical(垂直的)take-off and landing(eVTOL) aircraft,is expected to carry up to four passengers plus a pilot.Powered by batteries,it is predicted to be both quiet enough to reduce complaints in crowded cities,and fast:capable of up to300kph,enough to comfortably46a car, especially the one stuck in traffic.And optimists believe the absence of traffic in the sky will also make eVTOLs well-suited to47operation.They could prove handy for transporting goods,too.That vision has inspired48 predictions.For example,Morgan Stanley,an investment bank,estimates global spending on eVTOLs could hit$1,000 billion by2040!Regardless of the above49expectations,challenges remain.One problem is technical certification,which is turning out to be a(n)50process as aviation regulators work on an entirely new form of te last year,due to regulatory delays and some other factors,Joby,a Silicon Valley startup,was forced to51its launch by one more year until2025.Many have even longer to go.The bigger question is—is the business of flying taxis52 practicable?EVTOLs currently range in price from$1million to$4million.Some believe that their cost may come down as the industry develops.Brian Yutko of Wisk,a maker backed by Boeing,says that flying-taxi rides will be accessible to53in the near future.And Joby promises that its fares will be comparable to catching a common taxi. 54,there is an opposite belief that eVTOLs are likely to remain expensive.Some studies suggest the cost could end up as high as$7per kilometer,many times a regular taxi fare.That means,even without a pilot,flying taxis may remain a convenience55only to a lucky few.Let’s expect plenty more experiments with electric aircraft in the years ahead.41.

For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Every summer,as a child,I spent with my parents the annual family holiday,flying away from our home in the West Midlands to their birthplace in Ireland.I enjoyed it,but once,I behaved differently and left home.Package tours and long-distance flights became my idea of a holiday.I then went and ran into an Englishman who also came of Irish stock,and we both felt the urge to renew our knowledge of Ireland.It was important for us to discover something different from our childhood visits.So that’s how we came to drive along the winding St John’s Point Peninsula(半岛)in Donegal,part of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way,to visit a unique part of the20th-century history—the Donegal Corridor.When anyone drives to the point where the land runs out,he sees giant white stones fixed firmly in green grass spelling out“EIRE”and“70”,while the Atlantic wind fiercely blows across the headland and the ice-white waves smash into the rocks below.The meaning behind the stones?They date back to the Second World War when St John’s Point was number70in a total of83Look Out Points(LOPs),observation stations set up and maintained by Ireland all around its coast.There lies a bit of curious UK-Ireland history.Although Ireland was officially neutral during the war,the Battle of the Atlantic was being fought close to Irish shores,and these LOPs,staffed by local volunteers known as Coastwatchers, passed on information on activities connected with the sea and weather fronts to London.At St John’s Point,we were standing right under the Donegal Corridor,a long narrow area of airspace in which Ireland ensured safe passage during World War II to planes in the RAF(Royal Air Force)from bases in the UK-governed North of Ireland.The stone markings acted as reference points to aircrews.Standing on this rough area of land surrounded by the wild and windy ocean brought home to us the conditions in which the Coastwatchers and aircrews in the RAF cooperated in a shared history.I revolted against my family tradition that summer,and I fulfilled my aim of discovering something new and absorbed all Donegal has to offer:empty golden beaches,mysterious ancient stone circles,folk music and crafts,and tasty food.I had fallen in love with Ireland all over again.56.What can we learn about the author from paragraphs1to3?A.She met a childhood friend from Ireland that year.B.She and that Englishman both had Irish ancestors.C.She took package tours and long-distance flights every year.D.She explored the Wild Atlantic Way with her family members.57.The giant white stones were important during WWII because______.A.the Battle of the Atlantic took place right close to themB.weather information from the UK was sent through themC.they functioned as reference points to aircrews in the RAFD.they ranked at the top in the83LOPs around the Irish coast58.The expression“revolted against”in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to______.A.worried aboutB.passed onC.celebratedD.disobeyed59.Which might be the best title of the passage?A.A Global JourneyB.Discovering Undiscovered DonegalC.Happy HolidaysD.Escaping from the West MidlandsAds,news,movies,TV shows,and many other types of media all want you to accept their messages at face value.However,you should look beneath the surface and ask questions to decode what the media message is really saying.You need to ask yourself two basic questions:Who is the source of the message?How is it trying to get your attention?Question 1:Who is the source of the message?(Picture A)Knowing who is responsible for a message can reveal its true intention,as wellas any possible prejudice.Just take the picture above as an example.Why are weasked to ban the impacts?Don’t forget that the source at the bottom plays a part.If,sometimes,the source isn’t clear,we can look for it by checking legal documents.Question 2:How is it trying to get your attention?(Picture B)The obvious part of a message iscalled the text,which includes anylanguage,imagery,music,or anythingelse you can see or hear.The impliedpart of a message is called the subtext,and it’s suggested by the contentrather than directly seen or heard.Weas individuals then decide how tointerpret this subtext based on ourpersonal ideas,world views,andexpectations.People with differentperspectives might interpret the samepiece of message differently.Mindthat some media may just takeadvantage of the prejudice.(Picture C)Photo control is nearly as old as photography itself,but modern technology has made it common and easy to ing photo editing software,almost anyone can make big changes to an image,from adjusting colors and lighting to adding and removing content.That’s why you should always keep a critical eye on images in the media.Some media may hold back or overstate information,like an advertisement that makes the products appear moreeffective than they really are.(Picture D)Social media users can also give themselves a digital transformation with a little effort.They can make themselves look however they like in just a few moments.But since these edited images are presented as reality,they can affect our mental well-being.By constantly seeing pictures of artificially superb people,some of us may start to believe that these pictures are genuine,and that we can never live up to these unrealistic ideals.This type of harmful thinking can lead to all sorts of mental and emotional health concerns.60.We can learn from the passage that ______.A.the media hope that you can make sense of their true meaningsB.finding the sources of media helps to form a sensible judgmentC.text is more important than subtext when we analyze the messagesD.photography and photo editing software date back to the same time61.Your aunt finds her newly-bought belt doesn’t make her so stylish as advertised.Whichpicture can illustrate the case?A.Picture AB.Picture BC.Picture CD.Picture D 62.This passage can be found under the section of _____.A.Mass Media ReadingB.Content-Targeted AdvertisingC.Deconstructing Web-pagesD.Persuasive Language RecognitionAntibiotics,which can destroy or prevent the growth of bacteria and cure infections,are vital to modern medicine. Their ability to kill bacteria without harming the patient has saved billions of lives and made surgical procedures much safer.But after decades of overuse,their powers are fading.Some bacteria have evolved resistance,creating a growing army of superbugs,against which there is little effective treatment.Antimicrobial(抗菌的)resistance,expected to kill10 million people a year by2050up from around1million in2019,has been seen as a crisis by many.It would be unwise to rely on new antibiotics to solve the problem.The rate at which resistance emerges is increasing.Some new drugs last only two years before bacteria develop resistance.When new antibiotics do arrive, doctors often store them,using them only reluctantly and for short periods when faced with the most persistent infections. That limits sales,making new antibiotics an unappealing idea for most drugfirms.Governments have been trying tofix the problem by channeling cash into research in drugfirms.That has produced only limited improvements.But there is a phenomenon worth a look.Microbiologists have known for decades that disease-causing bacteria can suffer from illnesses of their own.They are supersensitive to attacks by phages,specialised viruses that infect bacteria and often kill them.Phages are considered a promising alternative to antibiotics.Using one disease-causing virus tofight bacteria has several advantages.Like antibiotics,phages only tend to choose particular targets,leaving human cells alone as they infect and destroy bacterial ones.Unlike antibiotics,phages can evolve just as readily as bacteria can,meaning that even if bacteria do develop resistance,phages may be able to evolve around them in turn.That,at least,is the theory.The trouble with phages is that comparatively little is known about them.After the discovery of penicillin,thefirst antibiotic,in1928,they were largely ignored in the West.Given the severity of the antibiotic-resistance problem,it would be a good idea tofind out more about them.Thefirst step is to run more clinical trials.Interest from Westernfirms is growing.But it is being held back by the fact that phages are an even less appealing investment than antibiotics.Since they are natural living things,there may be trouble patenting them,making it hard to recover any investment.Governments can help fund basic research into phage treatment and clarify the law around exactly what is and is not patentable.In time they can set up phage banks so as to make production cheaper.And they can spread awareness of the risks of overusing antibiotics,and the potential benefits of phages.63.We can learn from paragraphs1and2that______.A.doctors tend to use new antibiotics when the patients ask for themB.antimicrobial resistance is developing more rapidly than predictedC.new antibiotics fail to attract drug firms due to limited use of themD.previous antibiotics are effective in solving modern health problems64.What is phages’advantage over antibiotics?A.They can increase human cells when fighting bacteria.B.They are not particular about which cells to infect and kill.C.They can evolve accordingly when bacteria develop resistance.D.They are too sensitive to be infected by disease-causing bacteria.65.According to the passage,the obstacle to phage treatment is that_____.A.there is little chance of patenting phages in the futureernments provide financial support for other researchC.the emergence of superbugs holds back drug firms’interestD.over-dependence on antibiotics distracts attention from phages66.What is the main idea of the passage?ernments fail to stop the use of antibiotics.B.Phages could help prevent an antibiotics crisis.C.Development of antibiotics is limited by phages.D.Antimicrobial resistance calls for new antibiotics.Section CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can only be used once.Note that there are two sentences more than you need.A.Social maskers do not try hard to match other people in pace and tone.B.Social masking is something we all engage in to some extent.C.Social maskers are not trying to fox anyone.D.When we are in natural identification with someone,it happens naturally,and there is very little effort involved.E.It’s adopted by people unable to naturally act in a way considered socially acceptable.F.That is,it’s an ancient part of our evolution to socialize,rather than be anti-social or a misfit.Social MaskingAmanda is always an expert at working the room.She would adopt the manner of the people around her to fit in while hiding her true personality.This is social masking,the process of hiding your natural way of interacting with others so you can feel accepted.(67)_____Instead,they are hoping to fit in with everybody else.Social masking is a set of learned pattern-matching behaviors,movements and actions where you try to be normal to fit in rather than stand out.(68)_____People all wear certain social masks in order to get through some tricky life situations with confidence, according to Dr.Tara Quinn-Cirillo.And some experts even think social masking is built in all human beings at a physical level,adding that something in our brain gives indications of how to essentially stay safe and not stick out.In a world that often tells us to just be ourselves,you might wonder why we are still dependent on these social masking behaviors.“Social masking happens because we as a species want to be included,”says Tara.“It has been a tribal thing of being together rather than being on our own,from a historical perspective.(69)_____”There is a huge difference between naturally identifying with someone and consciously social masking.(70)_____ Social masking,on the other hand,involves a conscious effort to change your personality to suit your surroundings.It typically involves depressing your natural urges and changing your personal interests to fit the crowd.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than e your own words as far as possible.71.Why Should We Read Literary Classics?Many have grown up on a healthy diet of literary classics.Some literary classics have been inspiring readers in many ways.In this age of fast-turners,how does investing our time in a timeless literary classic change us for the better?Many literary classics from yesteryear,which got little or no success when published,are considered invaluable. These books offer a window through which we can experience histories rooted in different cultures.One can always ask,“But we can do so by reading our history books too.Why do we need to read classics?”The simple answer is that these literary classics are not just a retelling of history.They allow us to have a more individualized experience,where they show us other ways to look at history.It is common knowledge that reading as a habit helps us improve our command of the language.But literary classics have an edge:the enriching writing style is something that sets them apart.Fascinated with the amazing wording and phrasing,we’ll surely pause and wonder about what we read.For instance,when we read Shakespeare,we naturally begin to consider how to better express our ideas just like his far-reaching“Have more than you show;speak less than you know.”One more benefit is that after reading classics,we won’t see non-classics as just other stories:we’ll become interested in them.Maybe we’ll realize that some details we ignored last time are actually worth appreciating,or we’ll discover literary devices that bring a whole new meaning to the story.Literary classics offer us more perspectives to dig deep and enhance our ability to think and reason,which will inevitably spill over into our reading of other works.We finally fall in love with non-classics as well.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.室友们商定好每两天打扫一次宿舍。
