第I卷（选择题）一、阅读理解In addition to being open to opposite opinions, here are some techniques that could help broaden the way you think.Respect DifferenceThe mere presence of individuals from different backgrounds with different points of view in your everyday life creates an atmosphere in which people can better respond to change. Change EnvironmentsA change in your everyday life may provide the force needed to change the direction of your thinking. For some people, small changes might help reorganize your desk or take a new route to work, whereas for others, more adjustments are required.Shirt into PositivityUnlike negative emotions that bring about specific reactions, positive emotions prompt us to broaden our attention, explore our environment, and open ourselves to absorbing information. Take a few moments to think about the things in your life that are going well and for which you are grateful; this will automatically brighten your mood-and free your brain. Look as if You’ve Never SeenA Zen Buddhist concept for approaching even routine situations as if you were encountering them for the first time, “beginner’s mind” allows you to remain open to new experiences despite any expertise you may have. For instance, when you brush your teeth, take a moment to look at the toot hbrush as if you’ve never laid eyes on such an object and notice its color and shape. Think about the flavor of the toothpaste and notice how your mouth feels as you move the brush back and forth.1．What may be the benefit of small changes in life?A．Reduc ing one’s workload.B．Focusing one’s attention.C．Leading to adjustments. D．Better responding to changes.2．How can you find something new in routine situation?A．By shifting into positivity. B．By respecting difference.C．By changing environments. D．By loo king as if you’ve never seen. 3．What’s the purpose of the article?A．To introduce skills of broadening one’s thinking.B．To compare the attitudes to thinking.C．To give advice on thinking positively.D．To explain the reasons for being open.Avoiding the worst effects of climate change will require action. But it’s hard to take action when you don’t even know there’s a problem. Around the world, only half of adults understand that humans are causing climate change through activities that produce greenhouse gases. But the picture is different for kids. Previous work has shown that children are more engaged and more knowledgeable than adults are about climate change. The question is, can we harness this to make a difference?“We had come across this idea that kids are capable of influencing their parents. And when we say influence, we really mean just teaching them.” said Daniella Lawson, a social scientist at NC State University. “That’s what we set out to really investigate: can we design things in such a way that kids are able to teach their parents about climate change. A parent is willing and able to listen to their children speaking to them instead of just an adult on the street or a different climate communicator. ”To test the idea, Lawson set up a wildlife-based climate course for kids. This approach was based on previous courses, but the team added a twist: involving the parents. First, parents were invited to come along to an event that formed a part of the course. An d that’s not all. “So we also had students interview their parents. And this interview never mentioned climate change specifically. But it had questions like: how have you seen the weather change over the last five to ten years? Do you believe the sea level is rising? How do you think that could impact our communities?”The study showed that the course did indeed increase concern about climate change: notjust among the kids, but their parents too. And there were some surprising findings in the results. These findings come at a time when more kids are becoming climate activists. And Lawson says that her study shows just how persuasive young people’s voices can be. 4．What does the underlined word “harness” in paragraph one refer to?A．Adopt. B．Accumulate.C．Review. D．Control.5．What can be learned from the first paragraph?A．Effective actions have been taken to deal with climate change.B．Most adults have realized the climate damages caused by themselves.C．Children better adults in the area of climate change and its effects.D．Adults and children will cooperate to deal with climate change.6．About climate change teaching, which one will Daniella Lawson most probably agree with? A．Kids can be taught by adults.B．Adults can learn from the kids.C．Climate communicators are more professional.D．Parents are more likely to consult street adults.7．What can be learned about the course?A．The course involved is completely new.B．Interviews and questionnaires are necessary in the course.C．Adults and kids study separately during the course.D．The course is relatively effective in climate education.It was New Year’s night. An aged man was standing at a window. Few more hopeless people than himself now moved towards their certain goal-the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the age leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets.The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrances of the two roads. One leading to a peaceful, sunny place covered with flowers and fruits; the other leading to a deep dark cave which was endless. He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, “Oh youth, return! Oh, my father, place me once more at the entrance to life”. B ut both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness，and these were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappear, and this was the symbol of himself. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered life together with him. But they had made their way to success and were then honored and happy on that New Year’s night.The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way with shame and grief. He dared no longer to look towards the heaven where his parents lived. He burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days!”And his youth did return, for all this was o nly a dream on New Year’s night. He was still young though his faults were real. He had not yet entered the deep dark eave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.8．Which of the following words can best describe the aged man?A．Confident. B．Selfless.C．Regretful. D．Fortunate.9．What can we learn from Para3?A．The man’s friends missed their youth.B．The man’s friends suffered failure finally.C．The man wasted his life at one time.D．The man was lonely in his childhood.10．What can be inferred from the text?A．The old man didn’t take his father’s advice.B．The old man was enjoying his journey.C．The old man’s father accompanied him during the journey.D．The old man was like lights in the darkness.11．What is the best title for the text?A．A Special New Year’s Night B．An Old Man’s HesitationC．Youth Coming Back D．Two Roads to TakeThe English-language version of Wikipedia has almost six million articles. And if you’re a cheating student, that’s six million essays already written for you. But plagiarism (剽窃) isn’t really an effective way—just type the text into a search engine and the game is over. Then what about having a ghostwriter compose your final essay?“Standard plagiarism software cannot detect this kind of cheating.” said Stephan Lorenzen, a data analyst at the University of Copenhagen. In Denmark, where he’s based, ghostwriting is a growing problem at high schools. So Lorenzen and his colleagues created a program called Ghostwriter that can detect the cheats.At its central part is a neural (神经的) network trained and tested on 130,000 real essays from 10,000 Danish students. After reading through tens of thousands of essays labeled as being written by the same author or not, the machine taught itself to tune into the characteristics that might tip off cheating. For example, did a student’s essays share the same styles of punctuation? The same spelling mistakes?By examining inconsistencies like those, Ghostwriter was able to seek out a cheated essay nearly 90 percent of the time. The team presented the results at the European Meeting on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning. There’s one more aspect here that could help students. Your high school essays probably get better over time as you learn to write-and the machine can detect that. The final idea is to detect students who are at risk because their development in writing style isn’t as you’d expect. Teachers could thus give extra help to kids who really need it, while sniffing out the cheaters too. 12．What can be true about a cheating student trying to finish an essay?A．His cheating may be detected in a certain way.B．Essays offered by WikiPedia can’t be downloaded.C．He won’t hire a ghostwriter to write one for h imself.D．Ghost cheating can be detected by Standard plagiarism software.13．Which aspect of the program “Ghostwriter” is talked about in Para. 3?A．Its components. B．Its weaknesses.C．Its influences. D．Its working theory.14．Which one of the following is the function of “Ghostwriter” ?A．It never fails to find out a cheated essay.B．It can detect a student’s progress in writing.C．It can guide a student to correct his writing style.D．It relieves teachers of giving extra help.15．Where is the text most likely from?A．A guidebook. B．A magazine.C．A novel. D．A diary.二、完形填空It is 5 am and it’s too dark to see the fields of volcanic rock and trees on either side of the highway. But over the lights of my car, I get a taste of the 16 I’m really here for, as a few stars Pierce (渗透) the inky 17 sky.Today our relationship to the universe is largely connected byes 18 , such as telescopes and NASA assignments. But for thousands of years, humans could 19 look up on a clear night to be 20 at the bright spots that stretched (延伸) directly over them.But over time, we’ve 21 ourselves from our sky, building a covering of artificial light between ourselves and the dark depth of space. Our 22 , neon signs (霓虹灯), and other electric lights are increasingly flooding the night sky and 23 the stars.24 , about one third of the world’s population cannot see the Milky Way from where they live. And some can’t even recognize it. The sense of wonder for the nigh t sky 25 , and that means something vital to humanity is lost as well.That’s why I’ve dragged myself out of bed hours before 26 . Like 99 percent of Americans, I live with 27 pollution and I’ve never seen a truly night sky. So I’m here to 28 my first glance.As I 29 out of the car, I 30 raise my face up towards the sky, worrying whether I can make it. There it is, 31 across the sky as far as I can see. The Milky Way is so vivid that my eyes don’t even have to 32 the dark to see it.I expect to feel the 33 of the sky, perhaps as though I’m falling into a bottomless hole. Instead, the blanket of stars above me is so thick that it is hard to 34 . In black and white, the whole scene feels surreal.As I get back in the car, I pass a 35 that says “Never Stop Looking Up.”16．A．view B．issue C．event D．cause 17．A．clear B．black C．blue D．dirty 18．A．emotion B．survey C．imagination D．technology 19．A．completely B．hardly C．simply D．rarely 20．A．depressed B．frightened C．confused D．amazed 21．A．excused B．distanced C．freed D．defended 22．A．shops B．decorations C．streetlights D．buildings23．A．covering B．beating C．unlocking D．reflecting 24．A．Moreover B．Instead C．Therefore D．Meanwhile 25．A．increases B．disappears C．struggles D．pours 26．A．sunrise B．dark C．sunset D．dusk 27．A．noise B．air C．waste D．light 28．A．turn out B．search for C．apply for D．figure out 29．A．step B．look C．wonder D．think 30．A．formally B．confidently C．nervously D．casually 31．A．putting B．walking C．cutting D．stretching 32．A．adjust to B．turn to C．depend on D．throw away 33．A．length B．width C．depth D．strength 34．A．test B．weigh C．catch D．measure 35．A．note B．sign C．letter D．signal第II卷（非选择题）三、七选五Many college students pursue internships(实习), but only a few of them have the chance to turn that experience into a future career. 36．But there are still strategies interns can employ to win their employer’s attention. 37．●Treat challenging projects as a way to test yourself.The company may be in a field that is new to you, so the projects you work on may be equally unfamiliar. Adapting to a new environment without having prior experience can be scary. 38．When you show that you can take on every project with a positive attitude, your employer will know how valuable you could be as a full-time employee after graduation.●Let your boss know you are interested in a job.If you love your internship and want to work at the company in the future, tell your boss before you leave. It might seem direct. B ut it is worth putting yourself on your boss’s radar while you are still in the company. 39．If it is more than a few semesters away, tell him or her that you will follow up as the date gets closer.● 40．Internship supervisors(主管)and colleagues are valuable members of your professional network.They know your work and abilities. They can recommend you not only for jobs at their company, but also when you apply for other companies. Remember to send e-mails or text messages to your former bosses a few times a year. Let them know what you are doing as you progress in college.A．Keep in touch when your internship ends.B．Get your supervisors to recommend you.C．This could be because of the tough job market.D．Let your supervisor know when you will graduate.E．Your boss’s interest on you will allow you to graduate easily.F．But try to look at your internship as the ideal opportunity to learn a new skill.G．Here are some suggestions for students to make the most of their internship.四、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

第I卷（选择题）一、阅读理解In addition to being open to opposite opinions, here are some techniques that could help broaden the way you think.Respect DifferenceThe mere presence of individuals from different backgrounds with different points of view in your everyday life creates an atmosphere in which people can better respond to change. Change EnvironmentsA change in your everyday life may provide the force needed to change the direction of your thinking. For some people, small changes might help reorganize your desk or take a new route to work, whereas for others, more adjustments are required.Shirt into PositivityUnlike negative emotions that bring about specific reactions, positive emotions prompt us to broaden our attention, explore our environment, and open ourselves to absorbing information. Take a few moments to think about the things in your life that are going well and for which you are grateful; this will automatically brighten your mood-and free your brain. Look as if You’ve Never SeenA Zen Buddhist concept for approaching even routine situations as if you were encountering them for the first time, “beginner’s mind” allows you to remain open to new experiences despite any expertise you may have. For instance, when you brush your teeth, take a moment to look at the toot hbrush as if you’ve never laid eyes on such an object and notice its color and shape. Think about the flavor of the toothpaste and notice how your mouth feels as you move the brush back and forth.1．What may be the benefit of small changes in life?A．Reduc ing one’s workload.B．Focusing one’s attention.C．Leading to adjustments. D．Better responding to changes.2．How can you find something new in routine situation?A．By shifting into positivity. B．By respecting difference.C．By changing environments. D．By loo king as if you’ve never seen. 3．What’s the purpose of the article?A．To introduce skills of broadening one’s thinking.B．To compare the attitudes to thinking.C．To give advice on thinking positively.D．To explain the reasons for being open.Avoiding the worst effects of climate change will require action. But it’s hard to take action when you don’t even know there’s a problem. Around the world, only half of adults understand that humans are causing climate change through activities that produce greenhouse gases. But the picture is different for kids. Previous work has shown that children are more engaged and more knowledgeable than adults are about climate change. The question is, can we harness this to make a difference?“We had come across this idea that kids are capable of influencing their parents. And when we say influence, we really mean just teaching them.” said Daniella Lawson, a social scientist at NC State University. “That’s what we set out to really investigate: can we design things in such a way that kids are able to teach their parents about climate change. A parent is willing and able to listen to their children speaking to them instead of just an adult on the street or a different climate communicator. ”To test the idea, Lawson set up a wildlife-based climate course for kids. This approach was based on previous courses, but the team added a twist: involving the parents. First, parents were invited to come along to an event that formed a part of the course. An d that’s not all. “So we also had students interview their parents. And this interview never mentioned climate change specifically. But it had questions like: how have you seen the weather change over the last five to ten years? Do you believe the sea level is rising? How do you think that could impact our communities?”The study showed that the course did indeed increase concern about climate change: notjust among the kids, but their parents too. And there were some surprising findings in the results. These findings come at a time when more kids are becoming climate activists. And Lawson says that her study shows just how persuasive young people’s voices can be. 4．What does the underlined word “harness” in paragraph one refer to?A．Adopt. B．Accumulate.C．Review. D．Control.5．What can be learned from the first paragraph?A．Effective actions have been taken to deal with climate change.B．Most adults have realized the climate damages caused by themselves.C．Children better adults in the area of climate change and its effects.D．Adults and children will cooperate to deal with climate change.6．About climate change teaching, which one will Daniella Lawson most probably agree with? A．Kids can be taught by adults.B．Adults can learn from the kids.C．Climate communicators are more professional.D．Parents are more likely to consult street adults.7．What can be learned about the course?A．The course involved is completely new.B．Interviews and questionnaires are necessary in the course.C．Adults and kids study separately during the course.D．The course is relatively effective in climate education.It was New Year’s night. An aged man was standing at a window. Few more hopeless people than himself now moved towards their certain goal-the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the age leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets.The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrances of the two roads. One leading to a peaceful, sunny place covered with flowers and fruits; the other leading to a deep dark cave which was endless. He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, “Oh youth, return! Oh, my father, place me once more at the entrance to life”. B ut both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness，and these were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappear, and this was the symbol of himself. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered life together with him. But they had made their way to success and were then honored and happy on that New Year’s night.The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way with shame and grief. He dared no longer to look towards the heaven where his parents lived. He burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days!”And his youth did return, for all this was o nly a dream on New Year’s night. He was still young though his faults were real. He had not yet entered the deep dark eave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.8．Which of the following words can best describe the aged man?A．Confident. B．Selfless.C．Regretful. D．Fortunate.9．What can we learn from Para3?A．The man’s friends missed their youth.B．The man’s friends suffered failure finally.C．The man wasted his life at one time.D．The man was lonely in his childhood.10．What can be inferred from the text?A．The old man didn’t take his father’s advice.B．The old man was enjoying his journey.C．The old man’s father accompanied him during the journey.D．The old man was like lights in the darkness.11．What is the best title for the text?A．A Special New Year’s Night B．An Old Man’s HesitationC．Youth Coming Back D．Two Roads to TakeThe English-language version of Wikipedia has almost six million articles. And if you’re a cheating student, that’s six million essays already written for you. But plagiarism (剽窃) isn’t really an effective way—just type the text into a search engine and the game is over. Then what about having a ghostwriter compose your final essay?“Standard plagiarism software cannot detect this kind of cheating.” said Stephan Lorenzen, a data analyst at the University of Copenhagen. In Denmark, where he’s based, ghostwriting is a growing problem at high schools. So Lorenzen and his colleagues created a program called Ghostwriter that can detect the cheats.At its central part is a neural (神经的) network trained and tested on 130,000 real essays from 10,000 Danish students. After reading through tens of thousands of essays labeled as being written by the same author or not, the machine taught itself to tune into the characteristics that might tip off cheating. For example, did a student’s essays share the same styles of punctuation? The same spelling mistakes?By examining inconsistencies like those, Ghostwriter was able to seek out a cheated essay nearly 90 percent of the time. The team presented the results at the European Meeting on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning. There’s one more aspect here that could help students. Your high school essays probably get better over time as you learn to write-and the machine can detect that. The final idea is to detect students who are at risk because their development in writing style isn’t as you’d expect. Teachers could thus give extra help to kids who really need it, while sniffing out the cheaters too. 12．What can be true about a cheating student trying to finish an essay?A．His cheating may be detected in a certain way.B．Essays offered by WikiPedia can’t be downloaded.C．He won’t hire a ghostwriter to write one for h imself.D．Ghost cheating can be detected by Standard plagiarism software.13．Which aspect of the program “Ghostwriter” is talked about in Para. 3?A．Its components. B．Its weaknesses.C．Its influences. D．Its working theory.14．Which one of the following is the function of “Ghostwriter” ?A．It never fails to find out a cheated essay.B．It can detect a student’s progress in writing.C．It can guide a student to correct his writing style.D．It relieves teachers of giving extra help.15．Where is the text most likely from?A．A guidebook. B．A magazine.C．A novel. D．A diary.二、完形填空It is 5 am and it’s too dark to see the fields of volcanic rock and trees on either side of the highway. But over the lights of my car, I get a taste of the 16 I’m really here for, as a few stars Pierce (渗透) the inky 17 sky.Today our relationship to the universe is largely connected byes 18 , such as telescopes and NASA assignments.

Our 22 , neon signs (霓虹灯), and other electric lights are increasingly flooding the night sky and 23 the stars.24 , about one third of the world’s population cannot see the Milky Way from where they live. And some can’t even recognize it. The sense of wonder for the nigh t sky 25 , and that means something vital to humanity is lost as well.That’s why I’ve dragged myself out of bed hours before 26 . Like 99 percent of Americans, I live with 27 pollution and I’ve never seen a truly night sky. So I’m here to 28 my first glance.As I 29 out of the car, I 30 raise my face up towards the sky, worrying whether I can make it. There it is, 31 across the sky as far as I can see. The Milky Way is so vivid that my eyes don’t even have to 32 the dark to see it.I expect to feel the 33 of the sky, perhaps as though I’m falling into a bottomless hole.

Adapting to a new environment without having prior experience can be scary. 38．When you show that you can take on every project with a positive attitude, your employer will know how valuable you could be as a full-time employee after graduation.●Let your boss know you are interested in a job.If you love your internship and want to work at the company in the future, tell your boss before you leave. It might seem direct. B ut it is worth putting yourself on your boss’s radar while you are still in the company. 39．If it is more than a few semesters away, tell him or her that you will follow up as the date gets closer.● 40．Internship supervisors(主管)and colleagues are valuable members of your professional network.They know your work and abilities. They can recommend you not only for jobs at their company, but also when you apply for other companies. Remember to send e-mails or text messages to your former bosses a few times a year. Let them know what you are doing as you progress in college.A．Keep in touch when your internship ends.B．Get your supervisors to recommend you.C．This could be because of the tough job market.D．Let your supervisor know when you will graduate.E．Your boss’s interest on you will allow you to graduate easily.F．But try to look at your internship as the ideal opportunity to learn a new skill.G．Here are some suggestions for students to make the most of their internship.四、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

【校级联考】安徽省“江南十校”2019届高三冲刺联考（二模）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择72 Hours in BeijingTraveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72-hour visa-free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let’s start with the capital of China, Beijing. Here’s a pick of the best in Beijing!Mutianyu Great WallYour trip to Beijing isn’t really complete without seeing one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World”, the Great Wall of China. The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is by far the most well-preserved of all. Taking a one-hour bus ride Mutianyu would be your ideal location for a half day of hiking away from the large crowds in the city. Also the authorities have allowed tourists to paint graffiti on a specific section of the Great Wall since 2014. The Great Wall was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.798 Art ZoneThis would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s. The art zone is home to various galleries, design studios, art exhibition spaces, fashionable shops and bars. You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.Summer PalaceLocated in northwestern Beijing, the Summer Palace is by far the city’s mostwell-preserved royal park. With its huge lake and hilltop views, the palace offers you a pastoral escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings. The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.Sichuan Provincial RestaurantWhile in Beijing, apart from trying the city’s best-known Peking duck the Sichuan provincial restaurant is one of the places where you can enjoy regional delicious food. It offers one of China’s eight great cuisines, Sichuan, which ranges from Mapo tofu to spicy chicken. 1．Which of the following is true about the Mutianyu Great Wall?A．You can paint graffiti anywhere.B．You need a half day to get there.C．It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2014.D．It is the most well-preserved part of the Great Wall.2．When was the Summer Palace added to the UNESCO World Heritage List?A．In1950. B．In 1987. C．In 1998. D．In 2014. 3．Which place is the author’s first choice when visiting Beijing?A．Mutianyu Great Wall. B．Summer Palace.C．798 Art Zone. D．Sichuan Provincial Restaurant.When you think back to the blackboard from your school days, what color is it? Chances are that it's green. So what's up with the name? Originally, blackboards were really black. Before wall-sized blackboards existed, late 18th-century students used their own mini boards made of slate(石板)or painted wood, according to Concordia University, Those first boards were, in fact. black, and they paved the way for the larger ones.In 1800 when a Scottish headmaster named James Pillans wanted his students to draw maps, the students couldn't draw the maps their teacher wanted on their tiny boards, so Pillans put several slates together to create a large board. Problem solved! From there, the idea spread quickly as teachers could finally show a concept to the whole class at one time. By 1815, the massive writing spaces were common enough to earn their own name: blackboard.The color change came in the 1960s when companies sold, steel plates, coated with green enamel(漆) instead of the traditional dark slate. The new material was lighter and less fragile than the first blackboards, so they were cheaper to ship and more likely to survive the journey. Teachers weren't complaining either. After all, the new “greenboards”made the chalk powder easier to erase. Plus, the enamel left less of a glare and the color was nicer to look at. At that point, people started using the word “chalkboard ”as a more accurate descriptor, but“ blackboard” still stuck around.4．What did the late 18th-century students use in class?A．Blackboard. B．ChalkboardC．Greenboard D．Mini board.5．Why did the headmaster ask the students to put their mini boards together?A．To make a comparison. B．To make enough spaceC．To draw students’ attention D．To arouse students’ interest6．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the“greenboard”?A．They're lighter in weight. B．They're more convenient to transport C．Th ey’re easier to erase the powder.D．They’re more useful than the traditional ones7．What's the main idea of the text?A．Introduction of the blackboard B．Origin of the blackboard.C．Color of the blackboard. D．Function of the blackboard.When hospital staff are in full scrubs(手术衣)，their faces are almost completely covered by their caps and face masks, and we can only see their eyes and eyebrows. In order to solve the problem, a doctor in Sydney, Australia, called Rob Hackett launched a campaign named “ Theatre((手术室) Cap Challenge”- encourage hospital staffs to write their＇names and roles on their caps. At first, his colleagues didn't take it seriously. However, with time going on, it has been adopted around the world with studies from the US and UK reporting how this simple idea can decrease human errors in healthcare.“I went to a theatre where there were about 20 doctors and nurses in the room,” Dr. Rob Hackett said. "I struggled to even ask to be passed some gloves because the person I was pointing to thought I was pointing to the person behind them, because I don’t know their names. "said Rob. As we all know, doctors are a stressful profession. When faced with life and death, they need to save the patient's life for a second. At the moment, effective communications are important.“The ‘Theatre Cap Challenge’ is in response to concerns about how easily avoidable mistakes and poor communication are contributing to rising harmful events for our patients.” said Rob.
