Parents.B“John Cotter’s Losing Music is a powerful addition to the classic memoir (自传),” said Gretchen Cherington in The Millions. The first-time author has a strange disease that causes severe hearing loss, and Cotter shows well how destructive (破坏性的) the condition can be. Music first began disappearing, then the sound of the ocean. Beginning when he was 30, a ringing in his ears came and went, sometimes becoming so loud that it was painful. As his condition got worse significantly, he found how the loss of normal hearing separated him quickly from the whole world of pleasure. “The feeling is like losing life’s colour.” After detailing how he fell into complete despair, his “hard-hitting, beautiful, deep-going” book also reveals how he managed to rediscover a certain sense of satisfaction again.“The most memorable sections in Losing Music are about Cotter’s daily struggles” said Lisa Zeidner in The Washington Post. As a poet and essayist who was working as a part-time writing professor when his hearing troubles began, he is lyrical about sounds we take for granted: rain beating windows, old-fashioned heating hissing (嘶嘶响), a cat drinking water. Still, “he reserves his most passionate writing for music,” providing poetically precise descriptions of much of the music he has loved, and connecting the loss of those experiences to the loneliness of being deaf. By 33, his hearing was gone. Hearing aids and medication helped begin a partial improvement.“Cotter ultimately finds the best hope for a life without music: to get right with silence,” said Melissa Holbrook Pierson in The Wall Street Journal. There can be no happy ending in a book about hearing loss, but in writing it, he “turned difficulty into quiet success.” Losing Music comes closest to capturing what’s behind music “by nearly being music itself.” Even though his hearing has failed him, “evidence that Cotter’s ear is still keen for the beautiful tune of language sings from every page.”24. What do we know about Cotter from Paragraph 1?A. Losing Music is his first work.B. He knows well about his illness.C. The ringing in his ears was like music.D. He drives away loneliness by writing.25. What impresses Lisa Zeidner most about Cotter in Losing Music?A. His keen sense of music.B. His position as a professor.C. His daily hardship and effort.D. His detailed style of writing,26. How does Cotter finally deal with his illness?A. He tries his best to cure it.B. He comes to terms with it.C. He ignores the inconvenience of it.D. He collects evidence about it.27. What is the text?A. A diary entry.B. A book review.C. A news report.D. A biography.CWhat you believe in has a magic way of shaping your reality. The concept of “you can become what you believe”is more than just a motivational quote. It’s a truth that stresses the remarkable influence of your mindset (心态) on your journey through life. At the heart of this idea lies the distinction between two fundamental mindsets: the growth mindset and the fixed mindset.The growth mindset is a mindset that embraces the idea that abilities and intelligence can be developed through devotion, effort, learning, and perseverance. Those with a growth mindset grow better on challenges, viewing them as opportunities to learn and improve. Effort is seen as a path to mastery, and setbacks are viewed as stepping stones on the journey to success. Criticism is taken constructively as a chance to improve skills, and the success of others serves as inspiration and a blueprint for one’s own progress.In contrast, the fixed mindset is characterized by the belief that your abilities, intelligence, and talents are fixed characteristics that cannot be changed. People with a fixed mindset tend to avoid challenges, fearing that failure might reveal their limitations. They avoid pushing themselves because they see it as a sign of their weakness. Criticism is frequently interpreted as a personal attack, and envy or anger can be stirred up by others’ achievement. In nature, a fixed mindset limits individuals to their current abilities and limits their potential for growth.The power of a growth mindset lies in its capacity to drive positive change. By believing in the potential for growth and improvement, individuals open themselves to a world of possibilities. “If you imagine less, less will be what you, undoubtedly deserve. Do what you-love end don’t stop until you get what you love. Work as hard as you can, and think big, “Debbie Millman, a writer, designer, educator, artist and brand consultant said.28. What is the author’s argument?A. People’s mindsets are diverse.B. One’s heart affects one’s mindset.C. Mindset determines what one can be.D. Mindset depends on one’s character.29. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the growth mindset?A. Its limitation.B. Its possibility.C. Its disadvantages,D. Its characteristics.30. What way does the author use to illustrate the two different mindsets?A. Giving examples.B. Making comparisons.C. Conducting analysis.D. Quoting famous sayings.31. What might be Debbie Millman’s suggestion?A. Think carefully before you act.B. Imagine less and practice more.C. Stay true to yourself and never change.D. Pursue your dreams and never give up.DThe combined quantity of water on Earth has varied over the course of our planet’s geological history, and it still does.Today, Earth includes some 1,386 million cubic kilometres of water, a volume that includes water in oceans, lakes and rivers, plus ground water, vapour in the atmosphere, and the frozen water of glaciers and ice caps. On the young Earth-some four billion years ago-vast quantities of water were added to the planet by ice-containing comets (a mass of ice and dust that moves around the sun and looks like a bright star with a tail) that struck us, eventually making our world a “blue planet”. But such events became increasingly rare in Earth’s more recent history, and today we are in an age during which Earth is losing water.The water loss is due to the fact that particles (微粒) sometimes escape Earth’s gravity to travel into space. This is particularly true of the light hydrogen atoms that form part of water molecules (分子) together with oxygen. Everytime the atmosphere loses hydrogen, we lose one of the building blocks of water. Scientists estimate that Earth loses about 3kg of hydrogen per second. At this pace, Earth would run out of water in three billion years—but that assumes that we don’t get any new water supplies.New water need not come from space-it might come from the inside of the Earth. At depths below 50km, minerals contain water that is not reckoned within the water cycle, Some of it dates back to Earth’s formation; the rest is part of slow geological exchange between the planet’s layers. When Earth’s plates sink and melt, deep minerals can release these bound water molecules so that they can subsequently rise to the surface via volcanic eruptions, adding to the planet’s overall water resources.32. How did Earth become a “blue planet” in geological time?A. By getting water from cometsB. By making use of glaciers.C. By releasing its inside water.D. By storing water in the ocean.33. What is the scientists’ attitude towards the water loss on Earth?A. Serious.B. Regretful.C. Uncertain.D. Unworried.34. The underlined word “reckoned” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”.A. lockedB. displayedC. countedD. marked35. What can be the best title for the text?A. Where Can Water Be Stored?B. Could Earth Run Out of Water?C. How Can New Water Be Found?D. Will There Be More Water on Earth?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, 选项中有两项为多余选项｡Reading the room gives you an edge—no matter who you’re talking to What’s the difference between a successful presentation and a not-so-successful one? Skilled public speakers aren’t just good at putting words together. 36 That skill doesn’t just make people good at public speaking. It’s helpful in all kinds of situations-whether in a one-on-one meeting or a networking event. Here are several techniques you can practice to get better at reading the room.Ask for feedback. You don’t have to wait until the conversation is over to find out how it went. 37 For example, after covering a complex topic, pause and ask your listeners if it’s okay to continue. If you’re losing their attention, let them take a quick break.Don’t forget about basic needs. Even the most impressive speaker won’t keep an audience engaged if they’re hungry or tired, If your listeners are disengaged, offer them a break-or end the session early. 38 Learn to read unspoken implication. What are people doing while you’re speaking? Are they sighing, rolling their eyes or smiling? 39 Sometimes, these gestures might include objects, like cellphones or tapping pencils. If you see any of these, don’t step over it. Say something like, “Uh-oh-I see everyone’s checking their phones. Did I lose you, or is it lunchtime?”40 No skill can be got easily. Skills of reading the room also require some training to acquire. You can work with a friend or coach to build your self-awareness. This skill can make you a more confident and effective speaker.When you learn to successfully read the room, you and your audience get more out of your conversation. Reading the room helps you adjust in real time to make sure communication is clear.A. They know how to read the roomB. Learning to read the room takes practice.C. Ask someone else to remind you of the situation.D. These can indicate how they’re receiving information.E. Instead, you can get the feedback from the listeners’ expression.F. There’s no point in sticking it out if your audience have lost their focus.G. You can check in periodically to make sure you haven’t lost your audience.第三部分语言运用(共两节, 满分30分)第一节(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分)阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项｡Janet Kelly and her husband, DaQuan Davis, were out shopping one afternoon when DaQuan’s brother, Demetrius, called in a panic.

Such an outing is perfect for us to take a break from study routines, strengthen friendship and make our success more memorable.Thanks again for your thoughtful gesture. Looking forward to our exciting celebration! (122 词)Yours sincerely,Li HuaDear James,Thank you for trusting me to survey our classmates ’ preferred activities for celebrating our success at the English Drama Festival.

I hated the nickname “Germy,” but seeing him isolated was also not what I wanted. Guilt pushed me to him. “What do you want, Germy?”Del asked, his voice sounding more hurt than angry. I sat next to him and gradually uttered the whole thing about how my hasty assumption turned into such a terrible rumor. “I’m sorry. I wish I had never said tha t,” I apologized, daring not to look into his eyes. Annoyance and surprise flickered across his face. But seconds later, he lowered his head and said quietly, “It’s okay. I guess I wasn’t very nice to you, either.”His words soothed me, but I could feel he was still sad. (112 词)Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I walked towards the kickball players and called for their attention. Everyone stopped in surprise. “Del didn’t beat up anyone,”I stated, explaining what actually happened. Whispers of astonishment spread and finally one player shouted, “Alright, Del, do you want to join my team?” A smile broke through Del’s gloomy face, “Yes,and I want Jamie on it, too!”He glanced at me shyly, and I could tell his use of my real name was his way of making an apology. Soon the playground was filled with laughter and talks. But this time they made me realize something — words have the power to hurt and heal. (106 词)参考范文二At recess the next day, Isaw Del sitting alone watching the kickballgame. I walked up to him, so nervous that I could hardly talk. “Hey,” I said. “What do you want, Germy?” Del said impatiently without taking his eyes off the game. I could feel something in his voice sounded more hurt than angry. I summoned up my courage and explained to him the whole story. Surprised and angry, Del looked at me with an unbelievable look. “I will tell everyone the truth,” I promised. Del’s face softened a bit. “Okay,Jamie. I owe you an apology too,”he said with a shrug. It was the first time he’d used my real name. I almost smiled. I knew I had done the right thing. (111 词) Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before recess was over. The game was still going on. I approached the players and asked them to stop for a moment. Everyone, including Del, was surprised. “Guys,I am sorry, but I got something to say.”I admitted that it was I who started the rumor. “Del didn’t beat up anyone,” I said. Upon hearing this, the players were confused for a brief moment but soon figured out what had really happened. “Hey, welcome back,”They waved to Del. Del nodded willingly, with a happy look back to his face. Seeing Del playing the game vigorously, I finally felt relieved that I eventually mended a big mistake.

2023届四川省绵阳市高三第二次诊断性考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The following list focuses on the top4not-to-be-missed world-class museums,helping tourists explore and experience the best the New York City has to offer.COOPER HEWITT,SMITHSONIAN DESIGN MUSEUMThe Cooper Hewitt,Smithsonian Design Museum(CHSDM)was founded in1897.It is the only museum in the U.S.devoted to historic and contemporary design.Exhibitions feature more than650objects throughout four floors of the building,many of which draw from the museum’s permanent collection of more than210,000objects.Free guided tours are provided from11:30AM to1:30PM on weekdays and1PM to3PM on weekends.MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGEThe Museum of the Moving Image(MOMI)is housed on the original13-acre lot that made up the historic Kaufman Astoria Studios.Lose yourself in the permanent exhibit, Behind the Screen,which introduces visitors to the history of the moving image from19th-century optical(视觉的)toys to today’s digital tools used to edit and produce films.AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORYOne of the world’s largest natural history museums with more than33million exhibits, the AMNH educates and entertains visitors,keeping them busy for hours on end.The museum offers self-guided tours,including one featuring exhibits from the movie,Night at the Museum with Ben Stiller.There are a handful of places to eat inside should the kids get hungry.The kid sleepovers at the AMNH are impressive.NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETYThe New-York Historical Society(NYHS)was founded in1804as New York’s first museum.The Henry Luce II Center for the Study of American Culture on the fourth floor has been redesigned to showcase The Gallery of Tiffany lamps,displayed in a glass gallery.The Center for Women’s History is the first of its kind in a U.S.museum devoted to this subject.It offers free daily tours at2and3:30PM.1．When can you get free guided tours at the CHSDM?A．At12:30PM Monday.B．At2:30PM Thursday.C．At10:30AM Saturday.D．At11:30AM Sunday.2．Which museum provides special care for children?A．CHSDM B．MOMI.C．AMNH.D．NYHS. 3．What is special about NYHS?A．It has the longest history.B．It focuses on human history.C．It provides free tours all day long.D．It tells the history of the moving image.What are the most sustainable crops to grow for food security?Perhaps,in your growing zones,oranges or peaches win for best fruit crop.Hot,dry climates might call for dates or grapes.For me,growing organic apples is the best.Perhaps that’s because my hometown knows more about growing and preserving apples than any other fruit.Some apples may have worms in them.“It’s not that bad.It’s organic.Just cut the worm out.”I laugh even as I type this.For us,“organic”is how we grow apples,but it does mean carving good fruit away from black worm holes.Modern techniques for growing organic apples include worm traps,fruit barriers,and organic insecticides,like bacterial poisons that only target worms.Wormy apples are just fine for apple juice and jam,Mom says.Cut off the good part and throw it in the pot.Throw the bad part to the chickens.Boil the fruit and put juice into canning jars.Apple jam become pancake topping and the replacement“oil”in recipes—that is,if we don’t eat it directly out of the jar.Apples are now so symbolic to American life that other countries try out the market.When I was younger,I might have laughed at that because of how connected apples and American stories have become,despite the fact that apples aren’t native to North America.But a good friend,after visiting several farms in his motherland Nigeria,showed me photos of Nigerian apples.The skin texture(质地)and color resembled American apples,but they were shaped more like oxheart tomatoes.So even though apples have taken on symbolic significance in America,they can contribute to food security in all kinds of places. 4．What’s the passage mainly about?A．Organic food and modern techniques.B．American and African apples.C．Climate and growing crops.D．Apples and food security.5．What happens to the good parts of wormy apples?A．They are thrown away.B．They are made into apple juice. C．They are sold to customers.D．They are fed to the chickens. 6．What does the author learn from his friend?A．Apples are not native to North America.B．Other countries are also growing apples.C．Apples outside America are ugly-looking.D．People of other countries don’t like apples.7．What can be inferred from the passage?A．America produces the best apples of the world.B．Poisons are no longer used on apples in America.C．The author is proud of apples grown in his hometown.D．Apple juice and jam are actually made from wormy apples.Kjell Inge Roekke is a billionaire owner of an oil company from Norway.As a young man,he was a high school dropout who moved to the US to become an ordinary fisherman. Now he is the tenth-richest man in his country.Worth two billion dollars,he plans to give much of his money away and is starting with cleaning up our oceans.In the Pacific Ocean, there is an island called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch,which is twice the size of the continental United States.It consists of nothing but small pieces of plastic and the dead bodies of sea life and birds.The billionaire is buying a state-of-the-art ship.With the latest equipment on board,the ship will remove five tons of plastic from our oceans daily.Kjell started his business empire building industrial fishing boats.He believes he owes his fortune to the ocean and wants to pay the debt back.“I want to give back to society the majority of what I’ve earned.This ship is a part of it.”said the seagoing man.Managed by the conservation organization WWF,the ship’s mission is to get the poisonous things out of the oceans.It couldn’t come at a better time.Earlier this year a killer whale washed up on a UK shore was poisoned by man-made chemicals.The whale called Lulu was the most poisoned on record.It was20years old and had never reproduced because her body had been badly damaged.Kjell has given WWF complete control of the boat.The conservation organization is not comfortable with the practices of the Norwegian’s oil business.Yet in the struggle to save the environment,unlikely partners must work together.Without the world’s oceans,life on Earth wouldn’t exist.8．What has Kjell decided to do?A．Make our oceans clean again.B．Put an end to his oil business.C．Stop using plastics in his daily life.D．Remove the rubbish with his own hands.9．What does“state-of-the-art”in Paragraph4probably mean?A．Beautiful.B．Advanced.C．Expensive.D．Comfortable. 10．Why is Lulu the whale mentioned in the passage?A．To ask people to help the creature.B．To invite people to join in the effort.C．To stress the consequence of the pollution.D．To draw attention to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.11．Why does WWF decide to work with Kjell?A．Ocean pollution calls for combined action.B．It is comfortable to work with a billionaire.C．His business is friendly to the environment.D．He has given up control of his newly bought ship.If you are forgetful or make mistakes when in a hurry,a new study from Michigan State University(MSU)found that meditation(冥想)could help you to become less likely to make mistakes.The research,published in Brain Sciences,tested how open monitoring meditation (OMM)changed brain activity in a way that suggests increased error recognition.The findings suggest that different forms of meditation can have different effects.“Some forms of meditation have you focus on a single object,commonly your breath,but OMM is a bit different,”Lin said.“It has you pay attention to everything going on in your mind and body. The goal is to sit quietly and pay close attention to where the mind travels without getting too caught up in the scenery.”Lin and his MSU co-authors—William Eckerle,Ling Peng and Jason Moser—employed more than200participants to test how OMM affected how people detect and respond to errors.The participants,who had never meditated before,were taken through a 20-minute OMM exercise while the researchers measured brain activity through EEG(脑电图).While the meditators didn’t have immediate improvements to actual task performance, the researchers’findings offer a promising window into the potential of sustained meditation.“These findings are a strong demonstration of what just20minutes of meditation can do to enhance the brain’s ability to detect and pay attention to mistakes,”Moser said.“It makes us feel more confident in what meditation might really be capable of for performance and daily functioning right there in the moment.”Looking ahead,Lin said,“The next phase of research will determine whether changes in brain activity can translate to behavioral changes with more long-term practice.It’s great to see the public’s enthusiasm for meditation,but there’s still plenty of work from a scientific viewpoint to be done to understand the benefits it can have,and equally importantly,how it actually works.”12．How does OMM differ from other forms of mediation?A．It fixes your focus on your breath.B．It keeps your mind and body calm.C．It makes you caught up in the scenery.D．It enables you to be aware of everything.13．What does the results of the research show?A．The mediators acquire the habit of meditating regularly.B．The mediators can improve their ability to recognize errors.C．Meditation has an immediate influence on task performance.D．Meditation can increase people’s confidence about themselves.14．What will the research team try to find out next?A．How to monitor brain activity.B．How to sustain meditation practice.C．Meditation’s influence on behavior.D．The public’s response to meditation.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Meditation Helps People Sit QuietlyB．OMM Helps Measure People’s Brain ActivityC．Brain Activity Improves People’s PerformanceD．Meditation May Help People Make Fewer Mistakes二、七选五Everyone at some time feels that their life is going nowhere-and fast.____16____ Nothing can beat living an active,purposeful,successful life filled with happiness and achievement.So,don’t waste time.Do the following things to make your life better and more enjoyable.Treat yourself.It doesn’t matter if it’s a meal out,a visit to a theater,or a visit to a spa.Don’t make excuses about not having time or money.____17____It’s not hard to organize some time in your day if you want to.Remember,no more excuses!You are worth it!Take up

My daughter was getting married and I didn’t want to live six hours away, so we made the move. Once we moved, we were made unneeded and it was a mad race to get work. I ended up at here at Cheddar Gorge and Caves.Cheddar Gorge is like nothing else in the UK. It’s a unique phenomenon, because although there are other caves in the country, you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. This is a major geological feat ure, it’s three miles long and there’s just this natural, raw beauty. I can sit at my desk in guest services and look out at part of the gorge. It’s amazing.The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong. You know, not having worked here or heard about the area, you come here and it gets under your skin in the right way. You become part of it, it becomes part of you. I’m very passionate about it. And there’s the amazing wildlife, the geology, the prehistory—Cheddar Man is still one of the greatest finds in the UK.Eve ry day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different. You’ve got the rock sports side of things, the climbing, the caving. We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history, which we dowith the museum, whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them. We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man, which is the Mesolithic period, so 10,000 years ago. We do fire lighting, for example, and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people! It’s rea lly cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it, so you can really submerge yourself in that moment.My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir. The view is amazing. Yes, you can see pictures of it, but honestly you have to be there to fully appreciate it. You might hear some buzzards or see some sheep or goats while you’re up there, just to enhance the experience!56. PAUL HEMINGTON originally moved to Cheddar Gorge to __________.A. settle down in the countrysideB. be closer to his daughterC. land a job as a tour guideD. take part in a competitive race57. The underlined phrase “gets under your skin” is closest in meaning to _________.A. affects you deeplyB. bothers you greatlyC. increases your strengthD. improves your skin condition58. Which of the following falls into Paul’s job descriptionsA. He goes to the school to give lectures on pre-history.B. He demonstrates to young people how to climb rocks.C. He participates in recreating the scenes in the Mesolithic period.D. He decorates the museum garden to make it look like the gorge.59. What does PAUL HEMINGTON talk about in this articleA. How he adapts to the local way of life.B. What major local attractions are worth seeing.C. Why Cheddar Gorge ranks first as a natural wonder.D. What makes Cheddar Gorge so special to him.(B)With short story writer and novelist Della GaltonQ What’s the best way to kee p track of your characters in a novel Amanda Rose, via email A I’m not sure what the best way is, but here are some of the methods I use. Most of my records are on paper. I have a huge folder, and in it are the following: * Character sheets – one A4 sheet for each character with all their details: name; age; address; physical description; personality type… * Dialogue records –an extra page where I note their favorite words and dialogues. * Photographs –I use photos cut from magazines for inspirations as t o what they look like. I’m also a big fan of spreadsheets. I create one that has the name, date of birth and ageof my characters at any given time in the novel –or novels if it’s a series. This is particularly helpful for controlling timelines, as I only need to change one date and the rest are set up to update automatically. I also use a spreadsheet for keeping track of the plot so I know what happens to each character in each chapter. I create the spreadsheet before I start and fill it in as I go. It’s for tracking not plotting, but it could be used for that if you plotted what happens in each chapter. Hope this helps, Amanda. Q Should I use single quotes or double quotes for dialogue Tania Yeatman, Wimborne A It doesn’t matter! Usually it’s a matter of house style, so if you are aiming at a specific publication, check to see what their style is for publication and copy that. If you don’t know the house style then the important thing is to be consistent. The same applies to quotes from interviewees and ex perts in your articles. “I saw Anne at writing group,” Milly said. “And she came rushing up to me and told me she’d done it at last. She’s got an agent!” Sometimes there may be a quote within a quote. It can be single quotes within double quotes or the oth er way around. But don’t mix the two styles within the story to avoid confusion. Q ______________________________ Grace Louise60. ________ are most useful for controlling timelines of the story.A.

What should I write about to win the writing competitionC. Do you have any tips for overcoming the writer’s blockD. Can you give us a lecture on choosing the right topics(C)A forest in Staffordshire (in the UK) transformed into a hi-tech laboratory. Researchers here are investigating how the trees use carbon, and it’s difficult to find out. In an unusual experiment, extra carbon dioxide is piped to the trees, to create the kind of atmospheric conditions expected in the middle of the century. Andinstruments measure how the forest reacts.The scientist in charge says there’s still a lot to learn. And he worries that governments and companies are rushing to plant trees as an easy answer to climate change. “If you try and use trees to tidy up the mess that we’re making through emissions, you are putting those trees into a very rapidly changing climate and they will struggle to adapt,” said Professor Rob MacKenzie, University of Birmingham.This device tracks the movement of carbon dioxide. In a healthy forest, the gas is not only absorbed by the trees but some is released as well. What scientists here are finding out is the way carbon flows into a forest and out of it is a lot more complicated than you might think. So, if mass tree planting is meant to be a solution to tackling climate change, the trees are going to have to be monitored and cared for, over not just decades, but may be centuries as well.Of all the challenges, the task of planting is the simplest. Shelby Barber from Canada can do an amazing 4,000 trees in a day. “People talking about planting millions billions of trees around the world. Is it possible do you think, physically ” asked BBC.“It’s definitely possible with the right amount of people, the right group of people. I’ve personally, in three years, planted just overhalf a million trees.” said Professor Rob MacKenzie.Once planted, the trees need to survive, and experts are mixing different types to minimize the risk of disease. “It’s a bit like making sure you don’t put all your eggs in one basket, you’re spreading out your risk. And then if one part of that woodland fails, for whatever reason, it gets a disease or it can’t tolerate future climatic conditions, there are other parts of the forest that are healthy and able to fill in th ose gaps.” said Eleanor Tew of Forestry England. Suddenly there’s momentum to plant trees on a scale never seen before. So what matters is doing it in a way that ensures the forests thrive — so they really do help with climate change.63. Why is extra carbon dioxide piped to the trees in the experimentA. To predict the future atmospheric conditions.B. To imitate the possible air condition in the future.C. To create an instrument to measure atmospheric conditions.D. To investigate the quality of air condition in the future.64. The underlined word “some” in the second paragraph refers to __________.A. oxygenB. carbon dioxideC. messD. purified gas65. What will Eleanor Tew suggest concerning the survival of the forestA. Minimizing the area of the woodland.B. Studying future climatic conditions.C. Planting different types of trees.D. Avoiding mixing different species.66. Which statement concerning mass tree planting will Professor Rob Mackenzie mostly likely agree withA. It should be advocated in terms of efficiency and convenience.B. It is the most effective solution to fighting climate changes.C. It will do more harm than good to the health of the environment.D. It needs to be studied further as a measure against climate change.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. 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. It has also designed a special program that lets people return used furniture pieces to its stores so they can be fixed and used again by consumers.B. This would help to reduce overall waste, as it would extend the life cycle of old furniture items.C. Although these items may cost less initially, they are more expensive because they will need to be replaced sooner than traditional pieces of furniture.D. This creates a lot of pollution, as the furniture ends upburied in landfills where it can harm the soil. E. Homeowners are looking for furniture that is kinder to the environment. F. By choosing furniture that’s made to last, we can help reduce waste and protect the environment.The Fight against Fast FurnitureFast furniture is a term that refers to furniture that is produced cheaply and quickly. These items are often bad for the environment because they are made from materials that break easily and need to be replaced often. (67) ____________________To help protect the environment, a movement to move away from fast furniture has begun. Many companies are joining the fight by finding cleaner ways to manufacture furniture. For example, IKEA has agreed to switch to using renewable or recycled materials for their furniture by the year 2030. (68) ____________________There is also a push to encourage shoppers to buy more used furniture for their homes. Small businesses that help transform old chairs and sofas into completely new products have even popped up recently. At the end of the day, consumers will play the most important role in the fight to end fast furniture. Shoppers should try to think more about the long term when preparing to purchase new furniture. They should stay away from furniture that is made from cheap materials like fiberboard or plastic because they willoften fall apart after a few years. (69) ____________________A much better alternative is furniture made from real wood because it won’t break as easily. If wood furniture is damaged, it can often be repaired to last longer. High-quality metals are another good material, as they are durable. If the furniture is no longer fit for use, these metals can still be recycled and used to make new products.(70) ____________________ So, the next time you buy furniture, think about whether it’s something that will last a long time or it’s just fast furniture that will break soon and go into the trash.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Digital Nomads (游牧人)How would you like to answer your work emails from a beachfront café in Thailand or a coffee shop in Portugal If that appeals to you, being a digital nomad might be for you. Digital nomads can literally work from anywhere as their jobs are online. Digital nomads rely on portable devices with wireless Internet capabilities such as laptops, tablets and smartphones. Typically, they work from coffee shops, restaurants, co-working spaces, apartments orinternet cafés — places with an Internet connection. Worldwide, statistics show the number of digital nomads hit 35 million in 2021. So what is it that makes the lifestyle of digital nomads so fascinating First and foremost, digital nomads get to live in different countries and cultures while they work, providing them with opportunities to have adventures and experience new things. These folks have also found the most flexible means of online incomes, allowing them to head out at a moment’ notice and go where they please. “I’m free,” says Nimisha Walji, “I can go where the wind takes me and live any place I choose! If I feel like a change, I can pursue that in a matter of days, sometimes hours.”You may think that being a digital nomad is all sunshine and rainbows. It is not necessarily so. Job finding is one of the hardest tasks for the digital nomad, given that they have no permanent home, no office address, and no one knows them. To apply for a job, they need to find the employer and persuade him to hire them. Most of the employers hire from their own city, and that’s why it’s so hard for a nomad to find a job. Access to stable Wi-Fi and adequate workspace can be difficult. If someone struggles to stay focused at home, there can’t be a worse place than a fascinating holiday location. Few people can manage to be productive faced with the temptations and distractions. It seems that living the life ofa digital nomad isn’t for everyone.V.

about my new favorite thing.It’s an app that my husband told me a few years ago that helps me bypass all the obstacles(障碍)in my way:potholes,heavy traffic, and even speed cameras.To be honest,when my husband first told me about it,I didn’t pay much attention.I was only going to places I already knew how to get to.Plus,I learned to drive from my father—who never turned to a map.I think I mistakenly absorbed the message that real drivers didn’t need a map;you somehow just magically knew where to go.It was only later that I realized that just getting a driver’s license didn’t mean you knew how to get to places—that was lesson one.Lesson two came when my kids started playing on two different travel teams.The drivers in our household suddenly had the need to head in different directions on the same day.Suddenly my app became very meaningful to me.How did I ever manage to get to strange playing fields hidden somewhere without it?But the crazy thing I have also noticed is how often I just don’t listen to it.Why might that be?Do I just prefer the old routes,even if they are actually worse?I see an analogy(类比)to the present moment.There is evidence that some old ideas and some long familiar ideas will send us into a boring unchanging lifestyle.But for some reason we like them better than an unfamiliar new route that might take us into areas we’ve never heard of,let alone visited.It can be hard to admit we don’t know everything.As a person who still drives anobserves them.Children change their behavior in response to having an audience.Help children give to others in

patterns,re-introducing wolves and other predators(捕食者)to our landscapes does not amazingly reduce deer populations, restore worsening ecosystems or significantly threaten livestock(家禽),according to a new study.“The hopes and fears that we have on both sides of the debate—neither are realized,”said conservation biologist Bernd Blossey,professor of natural resources and the environment at Cornell University.On the one hand,there is little evidence for claims that re-introducing large predators such as wolves,bears and mountain lions is a major threat to livestock and wild animals such as white-tailed deer and mule deer.When the wolf was taken off theendangered species list,hunters and livestock producers,and some state governments,called for action to safeguard the wildlife they wanted to hunt and the livestock that was their livelihood.But it is nearly impossible to independently evaluate those claims,Blossey said. Other factors also kill livestock,from lightning strikes to extreme weather and diseases.On the other hand,the claim that wolves and other predators can control deer populations and restore worsening ecosystems lacks evidence as well.“Meaningfully reducing deer populations in Wisconsin alone would require tens of thousands of wolves, which is ecologically and socially impossible,”said Blossey.And wolves alone can’t repair the ecological damage humans have done,he said.A popular video“How wolves change rivers,”which has been viewed more than43million times,suggests that the re-introduction of wolves in Yellowstone National Park benefited the entire ecosystem.“I was as fooled like everybody else by the lovely stories that came out of Yellowstone saying,you bring wolves back,and you restore the rivers,and everything’s satisfactory,”said Blossey.We should see large predators like wolves as a valuable part ecological communities in their own right,Blossey said,and not just for their function.“As long as people learn to live with and tolerate the new(old)neighbors,a careful but not fully conflict-free existence appears possible,”said Blossey.12．Which of the following does Blossey probably agree with?A．The loss of livestock may not necessarily be due to wolves.B．People should not take wolves off the endangered species listC．People should take action to protect livestock and wild animals.D．The threat to predators comes from climate change and diseases.13．Which word best describes Blossey’s attitude to the video“How wolves change rivers”?A．Tolerant.B．Unclear.C．Doubtful.D．Favorable.14．What does Bernd Blossey say about large predators in the last paragraph?A．They upset the balance of the ecosystem.B．They should rightfully stay in their habitats.C．They are key to restoring the environment.D．They change people’s view about rewilding.15．What is the text mainly about?A．The value of humans’living together with animalsB．The importance of restoring worsening ecosystems.C．A debate over the threat to livestock and wild animals.D．A clarification of the effects of bringing back the wolves.二、七选五三、完形填空33．A．willingly B．secretly C．physically D．casually 34．A．stand up for B．break away from C．come up with D．fit in with 35．A．occurs B．extends C．appeals D．belongs四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、告知信/通知46．假定你是红星中学学生会主席李华，学生会准备开展一次“人工智能与未来教育”的专家讲座活动。

ALife under lockdown is strange and lonely but people are finding ways to come together and support those in need by volunteering. Here are just a few more ways you can take part in.NHS RespondersAfter asking retired medical professionals to return to work, the government has also put out a call for 250,000 volunteers to support the NHS （National Health System）. You can apply to be a community response volunteer, collecting and delivering supplies for those in isolation （隔离）；a patient transport volunteer, helping patients who are dismissed from hospital get home and settled; and an NHS transport volunteer, to assist with delivery of medical supplies.GAILY BakeryAs well as baking breads and pastries for the general public, GAILs is supplying front-line NHS teams with fresh food, and they need more help to get it where it needs to be. If you want to lend a hand, drop them an email.Re-engageRe-engage is a voluntary group that helps reduce loneliness among old people and given that so many people are isolated because of the virus outbreak, they need more volunteers to become call companions. If you want to join them in the telephone befriending service, contact them at 1811 2256.A Plate For LondonThis online platform helps match volunteers with Londoners in need. Now they are focusing on doorstepdeliveries of food parcels and hot meals to children who rely on free school meals and those who have lost their jobs as a result of the widespread disease.21.

In a garden bursting with vegetables and herbs, nearly a dozen teenagers are harvesting them for the weekend's farmers market. They work Tuesday through Saturday with City Blossoms, a non-profit that brings community gardens to schools and other places where kids gather in urban areas.Roshawn Little, going into her junior year at Eastern, believes that working in the garden has taught her to try all sorts of new things — like eating different kinds of vegetables more often. And she has taken those healthy behaviors home with her and her family now buy more fruits and vegetables. “We mainly live around liquor （酒）stores and snack stores. There aren't that many grocery stores. They're way out, and you have to drive so far" ——a common problem in low-income urban areas .City Blossoms is one of many groups across the country teaming up with local communities to establish school gardens, like the one at Eastern. These gardens, advocates say, are really outdoor classrooms where kids learn valuable lessons — not just about nutrition, but also about science and math, even business skills. For example, the gardens can be used for math lessons —like calculating the area of a plant bed —or learning the science of how plants grow.On a recent weekend at the Aya farmers market, the kids work at a table decorated with handmade signs that read "onions" and "garlic", inviting people to try their herbed salt with bread. Working at the market helps them practice public speaking skills and business skills.Nadine Joyner of a nutrition education company has a food table next to the kids' at the market and often buys produce from them. She is constantly impressed by the kids' knowledge of what they're selling — they know how to grow it, how to prepare it, and how to cook it.24. What do students at Eastern do with the harvested vegetables?A. Sell them on market.B. Take them to school.C. Give them to fanners.D. Share them at home.25. What can we infer about the area Little lives in?A. It is inconvenient in traffic.B. It is crowded with grocery stores.C. It has poor access to fresh foods.D. It suffers from income inequality.26. Why does City Blossoms establish school gardens?A. To provide nutritious food.B. To improve classroom conditionsC. To cooperate with local community.D. To create outdoor learning chances.27. Which may be the best title for this text?A. Green Vegetables, Healthy GardenersB. School Garden: a Promise Land in SummerC. Young Gardeners, Knowledgeable MindsD. City Blossoms: an Exciting Garden ProjectCThe terrible El Nino strikes the globe every 2 to 7 years. As warm waters in the tropical （热带的）Pacific Ocean switch eastward and trade winds weaken, the weather pattern stretches through the atmosphere, causing drought in southern Africa, wildfires in South America, and flooding on North America's Pacific coast. Climate scientists have struggled to predict El Nino events more than 1 year in advance, but artificial intelligence （Al） can now extend the latest forecasts to 18 months, according to a new study.The new research uses a type of Al called a convolutional neural network （卷积神经网络）， which is adept in recognizing images. Researchers feed the neural network a large number of training images and the Al becomes skilled at identifying fundamental patterns of those images. For example, the neural network can be trained to recognize cats in photos by identifying characteristics shared by all cats, such as hairs and four legs. Part of the problem with earlier researches on El Nino forecasts is that they rely on a relatively small set of historical statistics for factors such as ocean temperature. To get around this shortage, the scientists fed the program re-creations of historic ocean conditions produced by a set of reliable climate models, ones frequently used for studies of climate change, says the study's lead author, Yoo-Geun Ham, a climate scientist in South Korea. As a result, the scientists could show the computer system not just one set of actual historic data, lasting from 1871 to 1973, but several thousand reproductions of that same data by the climate models.But it's not clear how much real-world benefit will come from pushing forecasts beyond I year, cautions Stephen Zebiak, a climate scientist at Columbia University. ‘The kind of lead time that is actionable is probably less than a year because decision-makers are unlikely to take action further inadvance，” he says.28. What is the advantage of the latest Al forecasts?A. Faster response。
