河南省周口市鹿邑县2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解If you’re wondering why indoor skate parks are becoming the hottest trend among the young ones, just think about the incredible benefits they offer:● Safety First: Indoor skate parks are designed with safety in mind, featuring soft ramps (斜坡), padded areas, and well-maintained obstacles, ensuring your kids can skate without the worry of weather-related risks.● Community Spirit: They are not just about skateboarding; they’re energetic communities where kids can make new friends, learn from each other, and share a positive atmosphere.● Professional Guidance: Most indoor parks have experienced instructors ready to help your kids learn and improve in a structured and supportive environment.Choosing the Best Indoor Skate Park for Your FamilyNow that you’re all stoked about indoor skate parks, it’s time to find the perfect one for your family’s needs. Here’s a checklist to help you make an informed choice:● Variety of Features: Look for a park with diverse areas and obstacles that cater to (迎合) all skill levels, from beginners to advanced skaters.● Cleanliness and Maintenance: A well-kept park is a happy park. Check out reviews or visit in person to ensure the facility is clean and well-maintained.● Staff Credentials (资质): Inquire about the qualifications of the staff and coaches. It’s essential they have the experience and skills to provide a safe and supportive learning environment.● Opening Times: Make sure the park’s schedule matches with your family’s routine. Consider memberships or punch cards if you plan on becoming regulars!● Snack Facilities: Active kids are hungry kids. See if there’s a cafe or snack bar to refuel after an energetic session.By keeping these points in mind, you’ll be able to find an indoor skate park that not only fuels the passion for skateboarding in your children but also becomes a regular spot for familybonding and fun.1．Who will most probably sign up for the indoor skate parks?A．A man caring about maintenance of a park.B．A designer interested in snack facilities.C．A kid eager to go for outdoor activities.D．A mother motivating her kids to learn skateboarding.2．What can we know about kids skating in indoor skate parks?A．They needn’t be concerned about weather’s impact.B．They can play skateboards with parents whenever.C．They will gain guidance from foreign instructors.D．They must compete with each other regularly.3．Which of the following may not be necessarily considered?A．The qualifications of the staff.B．Opening hours including holidays.C．Cleaning and safeguard of facilities.D．Accommodation and hotels.It is my first time playing the game, which I know nothing about. I am not a soccer fan, and every time I watch a match, I fall asleep within 10 minutes, without exception.Before I went to The Other Green’s salon held by La Otra — a women-themed bookstore in Beijing — last month, playing soccer never would have appeared on my bucket list. I regularly do yoga, cycle and swim, which, in my eyes, are good exercises for women, while soccer, definitely, is for men.How can soccer become a feminist (女权主义的) topic? What prevents women from participating in the game? Or is it really a game only for men? Keeping these questions in mind, I step into the salon and meet five members from the Beijing-based WM female soccer club. They look wonderful, with sunny smiles and athletic figures. And their passion and confidence impress me when they talk about how soccer has changed their lives.What’s more, they all faced societal prejudices about women playing soccer and want to break gender gaps. A tough player since primary school, Xiao Da used to be the only girl on the court and was excluded from school training because there was no girls’ team at her school.Being a working mother for seven years, my life has been limited to the office and home,and when I heard about the physical and mental benefits that it brings, I hoped soccer can make a difference in my boring life.This is where the story starts. After an hour of warm-up exercises and practising kicking a ball around, here comes the match time. I try to shoot twice, miss both times and I hurt my right leg for perhaps the following two weeks. I still feel the pain. But I also feel that, for me, happiness is real on the court. Soccer is more than just a game.4．What impression do the female soccer members leave on the author?A．They’re energetic and confident.B．They’re angry with gender prejudice.C．They’re always treated fairly.D．They’re respected by others.5．What does the underlined phrase “excluded from” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Accepted.B．Refused.C．Elected.D．Protected.6．Why does the author take part in the soccer team?A．To satisfy her own curiosity.B．To be different from others.C．To make life more meaningful.D．To escape from the real world.7．What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A．She will give up playing soccer.B．She is determined to teach soccer.C．She takes a fancy to soccer.D．She gets more hurt than happiness from soccer.Most of us like shortcuts — the ones that get us to a place faster, whether we have to walk through a few trees or jump over a wall. But how far would you go to make a really good shortcut? Probably not as far as the Americans did when they built the Panama Canal, giving ships a quicker route between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific. When it opened in 1914, the canal cut the journey time from the east coast of the US to the west coast by as much as 15,000 kilometres.This was not an easy shortcut. Panama had been chosen mainly because it was the narrowest part of Central America. But the land was mountainous and full of tropical rain forests and it was still more than 80 kilometres wide. It’s said that almost 6,000 workers died from making the canal between 1904 and 1913, but the real number is probably much higher.As well as the difficult, dangerous job they had, those workers — many from the Caribbean — had to deal with heat, mosquitoes (蚊子), snakes and lots of rain. The result was a canal thathas been called one of the wonders of the modern world.Today, a ship entering the canal has to pass through three sets of locks. These are used like stairs, and they’re needed because the canal is not of the same height all the way through. The locks use lots of fresh water to lift up the boats-on average, 9 billion liters every day from lakes next to the canal.And although Panama is a wet country, the climate is changing, and there is less water now than there used to be. The Panama Canal is still a shortcut for now, but it’s in danger.8．How does the author develop Paragraph 1?A．By giving an example.B．By asking a question.C．By referring to old writings.D．By making an assumption.9．Why was the Panama Canal called a hard shortcut?A．Panama has complex geography characters.B．6, 000 workers died each year during its building process.C．Panama always came across terrible weather.D．Unknown wildlife increased challenges of making it.10．What do you think of the locks using fresh water?A．It is a waste of natural resource.B．It makes lakes next to the canal in danger.C．It is a must to keep boats run smoothly.D．It is a good way to deal with changeable climate.11．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Everyone Is Willing to Take ShortcutsB．The Great Canal Facing Climate ChangesC．The Panama Canal Is an Important ShortcutD．The Old Canal Lacking Water to Lift BoatsMore than 2,200 years ago, a battle between the Romans and the Carthaginians took place at sea off northwestern Sicily. Rome was victorious, defeating the other military ships and ending the war. While so much was destroyed at the time, scientists have recently discovered a shipwreck that was sunk in the battle with at least 114 animal species living on the ship’s ram (夯锤).The ram’s discovery is an important archaeological discovery. But finding it to be a host for so much underwater life also provides great insight for scientists studying how marine animals colonize (聚居) empty sites and slowly create diverse and rich communities there.The ram was recovered in 2017, located between 75 and 90 metres deep. It’s bronze and hollow, allowing it to accumulate (积累) sea creatures both inside and outside. Several years later the ram was cleaned and restored by researchers. All the marine animals found inside and outside the ram were collected, along with blocks of sediment (沉积物) and hardened materials from the same area.Scientists have been working to compare the species found in and around the ram with those found in similar Mediterranean habitats. They reconstructed how it had likely been colonized. “We conclude that the primary ‘constructors’ in this community are organisms which attach themselves directly to the wreck’s surface,” said Edoardo Casoli from Sapienza University of Rome. “Then there are ‘habitants’ which aren’t attached but move freely between empty spaces in the superstructure. What we don’t yet know exactly is the order in which these organisms colonize wrecks.”“Younger shipwrecks (遇难船只) typically host a less diverse community than their environment,” said Maria Flavia Gravina, another researcher. “By comparison, our ram is much more representative of the natural habitat. It can act as a novel kind of sampling tool for scientists, which effectively acts as an ‘ecological memory’ of colonization.”12．Why is the battle between the Romans and the Carthaginians mentioned?A．To lead in the topic.B．To draw a conclusion.C．To arouse the sympathy about the war.D．To clarify the serious damage caused by the war.13．How did scientists do researches about the marine animals on the ram?A．By creating the post-war situations.B．By comparing the habitats of 114 species.C．By restoration, reconstruction and comparison.D．By putting the organisms colonize wrecks in order.14．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in the last paragraph?A．The ship’s ram.B．The marine environment.C．A less diverse community.D．The natural habitat of marine animals. 15．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A guidebook to a sea exploration.B．An educational website.C．A government document.D．A natural science magazine.How to Introduce Friends to Other FriendsYou may find that you have two friends that you really want to introduce to each other.16 .

It’s believed that social robots could become as common as paper and whiteboards in schools. Those robots have been used to read stories to preschool students in Singapore, help 12-year-olds in Iran learn English and improve handwriting among young children in Switzerland.As a professor of education, I study the different ways that teachers worldwide do their jobs. To understand how social robots could affect teaching, I introduced a robot called “Pepper” into a public elementary and middle school in the U. S. and found many problems with the current generation of social robots.To get the robot to perform, our students had to master the directions that came with the robot. Some students quickly figured out that the robot could respond only to certain basic routines. They kept trying to interact with the robot as if it were a person but got very frustrated with its nonhuman responses. When a robot failed to answer a question, or responded in the wrong way, students realized the robot wasn’t really understanding them and that the robot’s dialogue was preprogrammed.Also, I have found that these are not limited to school settings. Service robots in some health care facilities have been programmed to deliver medicine, but this requires special sensors and programming. Stores and restaurants are experimenting with delivery and cleaning robots. But when a grocery store in Scotland tried to use “Pepper” for customer interactions, the robot was fired after a week.While the social robots currently used in schools are limited in functions, they can still provide useful learning experiences. Students can use them to learn more about robotics and artificial intelligence. Struggling with a robot’s limitations gives students real insights into thecomplicated nature of human social interaction. The opportunity to do hands-on work with a social robot shows students how difficult it is to program robots to copy human behavior. As AI becomes a bigger part of our work and lives, we need to teach students to think critically about what it means to live and work with social machines.4．What phenomenon is described at the beginning of the text?A．The global differences in educational approachesB．The transformative impact of robots on education.C．The adoption of social robots in classrooms worldwide.D．The innovative achievements in science and technology.5．How do students find their interaction with social robots?A．Amusing and engagıng.B．Challenging but beneficial.C．Ineffective and disappointing.D．Satisfying but time-consuming.6．What does the author want to show by mentioning the examples in paragraph 4?A．Robotics still has room for improvement.B．Technology has changed the way we workC．Many fields are open to experimenting with robots.D．Robots might pose a threat to people’s employment.7．What can students learn by interacting with limited-function social robots in schools?A．To master communication skills.B．To get some hands-on experience.C．To strengthen the sense of mission.D．To improve critical thinking ability.For many of us, online shopping has made the process of purchasing goods a far simpler and more convenient process. No longer do we have to head to shops to browse through various objects, wandering round endless shelves, before finally setting for the first thing we saw. These days, we find the item we want or need online, click on it, and check out its description and, most importantly, its user reviews. If it fits the bill, we send it to our basket and pay.There seems to be a wealth of options at our fingertips. But how do we know the options that pop up in front of us really are the best deals, and how might algorithms (算法) help or hold us back?Algorithms, simply put, are mathematical instructions which tell a computer how to solveproblems. When shopping is involved, what is the problem they solve? Well, they instruct a computer which advertisements to show and which products a user is most likely to buy. By analyzing the things we bought or looked at previously algorithms can predict what goods we’re most likely to be attracted by.For some people, the idea of something guessing your preferences could sound a bit worrying. But first, let’s look at the positives. By telling a computer to show us what we are interested in, it can not only save us a lot of time, but also help us find the best deals. However, there are some people who have concerns about the impact of algorithms on our shopping experience. It is possible that algorithms may only select options from a limited number of brands, or may favour products from certain companies. There are also concerns that we aren’t always shown the cheapest or best deal, even though that’s what we’re searching for.So, the takeaway from this is that algorithms are here to stay, and it’s wise to know they exist. Whenever you are shopping, be it online or off, make sure you shop around for the best deals. The first thing you see might not always be the best for you.8．What is the main factor that leads you to buy the product online immediately?A．The reasonable price.B．Salesgirls’ description.C．Customers’ comments.D．The convenient delivery.9．How do algorithms help customers find their favourite goods?A．The previous consuming records.B．The most advertisements they see.C．The frequency of visiting the store.D．The amount of money they spend. 10．What does the author think of algorithms used for online shopping?A．Doubtful.B．Beneficial.C．Negative.D．Worrying. 11．Which message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?A．Many hands make light work.B．Actions speak louder than words.C．Only the feet tell if the shoes fit.D．Only comparing can see the gap.At a park in one of the world’s most polluted cities, a filtration (过滤) “tower” has been quietly cleaning the surrounding air since last summer. Called Verto, the device filters 600,000 cubic meters of air a day in New Delhi’s Sunder Nursery.Filtration towers were designed by architecture firm Studio Symbiosis. The firm’sco-founders, Amit Gupta and Britta Knobel Gupta, say their fan-powered devices can clean the air within a radius (半径) of 200 to 500 meters in some spaces, depending on wind speed and how open the surroundings are. “I think the towers can also be installed in public parks and squares, where people spend quality outdoor time,” Britta said, adding that installing (安装) the towers in spots where homeless people sleep might also be very beneficial.In 2019 alone, air pollution is thought to have caused nearly 1.6 million deaths in India, according to a study in medical journal The Lancet. New Delhi is regularly covered with smog, with vehicle emissions, crop-burning, and coal-fired power plants all contributing to the city’s bad air quality.In addition to the direct impact of pollution, the resulting climate change has caused heat waves that have killed more than 24,000 people in the country since 1992, according to a study published by the University of Cambridge.Amit estimated that maybe 100 of the towers would be required to filter the air across central New Delhi, though further research and a “full-scale model” would be required to calculate more figures. The devices are also designed to be easily transported, with the hope that they can be adopted on a larger scale.The filters, which need to be changed every three to nine months, are partly recyclable. Noise generated by the towers is, at a maximum of 75 decibels, similar to that of a standard kitchen exhaust fan (排风扇). To reduce Verto’s environmental impact, Studio Symbıosis installed energy-efficient smart fans that vary according to local conditions, slowing down when pollution is low, or when strong winds provide natural air flow.12．Which factor can improve the work efficiency of filtration tower?A．The height of tower.B．The surrounding people.C．The design of fans.D．The strength of wind.13．What is mainly discussed in Paragraphs 3 and 4?A．The death number in India since 1992.B．The consequence of climate change.C．The cause and effect of air pollution.D．The process of heat wave generation. 14．What is the striking feature of Verto?A．Cost-effective.B．Uniquely-designed.C．Eco-friendly.D．Completely-recycled15．What is the best title for the text?A．The air cleaning tower in India B．The bad air quality in New DelhiC．The filtration tower’s global trend D．Smart fans’ environmental purposeAppreciating art can be a rewarding experience. But it can also be confusing if you’re not sure where to start. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your art appreciation journey.One of the most important things to remember when looking at art is to approach it with an open mind. 16 Instead, allow yourself to experience the art work on its own terms and see what emotions or thoughts it awakens in you.When you first encounter a piece of art, take a few moments to look at it. Notice the colors, lines, shapes, and materials. 17 If you’re looking at a painting, try to identify the brushwork and how it contributes to the artistic effect of the piece.18 Thinking about the situation in which a piece was created can help you better understand and appreciate the work. For example, if you’re looking at a piece of art from the 19th century, it can be helpful to learn about the artistic movements and social issues that were common at the time.The medium in which a piece of art is created can have a significant impact on the final product. 19 Understanding the properties and limitations of different mediums can help you appreciate the technical skills and choices of the artist.If you’re looking at art in a museum or gallery, there may be a staff member available to answer your questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for more information. If you’re looking at art online or in a book, try to find out more about the work through research. 20A．Many works of art convey a deeper meaning.B．You can also turn to a professional about the subject.C．Try not to assume what the artist was trying to express.D．The key to appreciating art is to approach it with curiosity.E．Observe how the various elements of the artwork are arranged.F．Art is often created within a specific historical, or cultural context.G．A sculpture made of metal has a different feel from an oil painting.二、完形填空The town of North Rustico is a homey sort of place. Neighbors there are always sure to 21 one another as they go about their day. And that 22 of friendliness is apparently infectious.One day, local resident Lisa Sandoval was walking near the waterfront when she realized somebody was 23 to her. “I heard ‘Hello! Hello!’” Sandoval said. “I turned around and there wasn’t even a 24 . Then I heard the 25 again. I got a little 26 , and thought I must be hearing things.”It was then that Sandoval noticed only a crow (乌鸦) nearby. “I stopped and said, ‘Hello?’”27 , he answered me back, “Hello!”Sandoval later came to learn that she wasn’t the only one in town to have 28 the talking crow. The story goes that years earlier the bird had been found injured as a baby and 29 by an elderly man living nearby, who often spoke to him during his 30 . “That bird had learned to say hello and had been let go free after regaining his health,” Sandoval said.

江苏省南京市雨花台中学2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试卷一、阅读理解For the intrepid traveler seeking unique and off-the-beaten-path experiences, these four international tourist destinations offer a plethora of captivating sights and activities.Destination 1: Machu Picchu, PeruNestled high in the Andes Mountains, Machu Picchu is an archaeological wonder that has mystified and attracted scholars and adventurers alike. This ancient Incan citadel, often referred to as the “Lost City of the Incas,” is accessible only by a strenuous hike or a train ride through breathtaking landscapes. The ruins are replete with intricately carved stone structures, terraced fields, and sacred temples. The site’s mysterious history and stunning natural setting make it a must-visit destination for those with a penchant for exploration.Destination 2: Santorini, Greece Renowned for its dramatic cliffs, cobalt-blue domes, and mesmerizing sunsets, Santorini is a paradise for aesthetes and romantics. The island’s unique volcanic landscape offers a visual feast of multicolored cliffsides and crystal-clear waters. Wander through the charming white-washed villages of Oia and Fira, and savor the local cuisine, which includes fresh seafood and delicious Mediterranean delicacies. The island’s luxurious resorts and spas provide the perfect respite after a day of exploring.Destination 3: Kyoto, JapanAs the cultural heart of Japan, Kyoto is a city steeped in history and tradition. Home to numerous ancient temples, shrines, and gardens, Kyoto offers a glimpse into Japan’s rich cultural heritage. Visit the iconic Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), stroll through the serene Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and experience a traditional tea ceremony. The city’s traditional crafts, such as silk weaving and pottery, are also a draw for tourists seeking a more immersive cultural experience.Destination 4: Prague, Czech RepublicWith its fairytale-like architecture, Prague is a city that seems to have stepped out of a storybook. The city’s Old Town Square is dominated by the Astronomical Clock, a medieval timepiece that is a marvel of engineering. Explore the narrow cobblestone streets and visit the many castles and palaces that dot the city. Prague’s vibrant nightlife and world-class cuisine makeit a popular destination for travelers from around the world.1．What makes Machu Picchu a must-visit destination?A．Its ancient lost city of the Incas.B．Its easy accessibility to all travellers.C．Its stone structures and sacred temples.D．Its unexplainable history and naturallandscape.2．What do Destination 2 and Destination 4 have in common?A．They are paradises for romantics.B．They provide delicious delicacies.C．They are dominated by engineering marvels.D．They offer a visual feast of crystal-clear waters.3．If you’re interested in history, you can choose to visit .A．Destination 1 and Destination 3B．Destination 2 and Destination 3C．Destination 2 and Destination 4D．Destination 1 and Destination 2A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know if she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her, he asked, “Darling, what do you see?”“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma.“What does it mean, father?” she humbly asked.He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting; but after being subjected to the boiling water, it became softened and weak. The egg had been fragile; its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior; but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.The ground coffee beans were unique, however; after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.“Which are you?” he asked his daughter.4．Why did the daughter complain to her father?A．Because she found life was extremely cruel to her.B．Because she found that she was at a loss in her life.C．Because she was tired of fighting and struggling with others.D．Because she doubted if she’d make it to addressing the boredom in life.5．What did the father take his daughter to the kitchen for?A．To boil three things for her.B．To explain to her what life is.C．To give her some inspiration.D．To carry out an experiment with her. 6．What can be inferred from the text?A．The father seemed to be in favor of the egg most.B．The carrot was likely to be the daughter’s favourite.C．The three things all stood the test of the boiling water.D．The ground coffee beans chose to affect their surroundings.7．What’s the best title for the text?A．A vivid lesson B．A best choiceC．A tough challenge D．A rough rideWhen driving, Clara-Marina Martinez makes a note of any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which she is helping develop for Porsche Engineering.Those algorithms are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself. Such a fully autonomous car, known in the industry as Level 5, should be able to complete anentire journey without any intervention (介入) from the driver, and deal with all situations on the road. But this is proving hard to achieve, and many attempts to do so are being abandoned. Last year, for instance, Uber sold off its unit developing self-driving cars.Autonomous vehicles are said to be not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, so do machines. And machines are not quick learners. The RAND Corporation calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.Carmakers such as Porsche therefore speed up the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about dangers rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines” to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive. Objects in these virtual worlds are assigned their physical characteristics (ie, buildings are hard, people are soft) so that the sensors in vehicles respond in the appropriate way. Once the software has been trained, it is tested in real autonomous vehicles by re-creating those situations on a test track.How quickly all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome the doubt that a software driver really can be safer than a human being.From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is another question. Given that much of the reason owning a sports car is for owners to show off their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those bragging (炫耀的) rights away?8．Why does Clara-Marina Martinez note the unusual behaviour on the road?A．To market Porsche cars.B．To improve an AI technology.C．To learn to be a responsible driver.D．To enjoy riding in a self-driving car.9．The problem with self-driving cars is that .A．they learn as slowly as human beingsB．they operate for a very short period of timeC．they have to be monitored by human driversD．they need a long time to reach a certain safety level10．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．Employing simulators on a test track.B．Speeding the development of process.C．Figuring out the physical road dangers.D．Separating the real world from the virtual world.11．What worries Porsche according to the last paragraph?A．The reliability of car software.B．The future of the sports car market.C．The driving skills of human beings.D．The quality of self-driving cars in the future.Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism that helps us sustain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance (保险) companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones.It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar options as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships.It’s easy to paint the familiarity principle as an enemy or something to battle as if it is something that holds us back from living our dreams. But this attitude might be overwhelming because it tends to encourage us toward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a quite dramatic swing that we don’t feel ready for. Some articles suggest the solution to familiarity frustration (沮丧) is complete exposure to novelty. While this can appear effective in the short term, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout.So what if we can work with the familiarity principle instead? Familiarity is something wecan learn to play with and enjoy. It is a setting for creativity and a pathway to expansion. We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lives to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable options.12．What allows insurance companies to charge old customers more?A．The advertising cost.B．The improved service.C．The familiarity principle.D．The principle of the market.13．We can learn from paragraph 2 that .A．Our preferences affect our decisionsB．Familiarity tends to generate disrespectC．The familiarity principle is a double-edged swordD．There can be a mismatch between desires and actions14．What is the author’s attitude towards the solution in some articles?A．Disapproving.B．Tolerant.C．Objective.D．Reserved. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Step Out of Your Familiarity ZoneB．Spare a Thought for Your PreferenceC．Gently Expand Your Familiarity ZoneD．Give Priority to the Mere Exposure EffectEssential CreativityIn a recent survey in America, 62% of people said that creativity was more important to success in the workplace than they had expected it to be when they were in school.16 It is of course possible to scan people’s brains and see which parts are firing when an idea is created, but rather more romantically it can be thought of as something that cannot be identified. Creativity is what comes to you when you least expect it. You cannot demand creativity from your mind, nor can you demand that you are creative in a particular way.One misconception about creativity is that it is reserved for a few special people. This is not true. 17 Another misconception is that creativity is all about the arts but this simply isn’ttrue. 18It is incredibly important that schools do not prevent creativity. 19 Students should be taught to ask questions and investigate when things do not make sense. They need to learn to view mistakes as opportunities for learning rather than something that was unsuccessful. But now it is worrying that many schools are less concerned with nurturing creativity. However, without creativity, we are indistinguishable from the masses. 20 Meanwhile, we can also channel it to face the challenges of the future.A．We can use it to set ourselves apart.B．It’s difficult to define what creativity is.C．Everyone has the capacity to be creative.D．We can employ creativity to deal with the world.E．Rather, they should work to expand, grow, and exercise it.F．It’s hard to work out where exactly creativity comes from.G．Creativity extends to maths and science in just the way it does to music and literature.二、完形填空Atomic (原子的) shapes are so simple that they can’t be broken down any further. Mathematicians are trying to 21 artificial intelligence (AI) to build a “periodic table” (周期表) of these shapes.Tom Coates at Imperial College London and his colleagues are working to classify (分类) atomic shapes 22 as Fano varieties, which are so simple that they can’t be broken down into smaller 23 . Just as chemists arranged elements in the periodic table by their atomic weight and group to 24 new insights, the researchers hope that organizing these atomic shapes by their various 25 will help in understanding them.The team has assigned each atomic shape a sequence of numbers 26 its features such as the number of holes it has or the 27 to which it twists around itself. This acts as a bar code (条形码) to 28 it. Coates and his colleagues have now created an AI that can predict certain properties of these shapes from their bar code numbers alone, with an 29 of 98 percent.The team member Alexander Kasprzyk, who works at the University of Nottingham, UK, says that the AI has let the team organize atomic shapes in a way that begins to 30 the periodic table, 31 when you read from left to right, or up and down, there seem to be organized patterns in the geometry (几何) of the shapes.The team hopes to 32 the model to the point where missing spaces in its periodic table could point to the existence of unknown shapes, which could 33 benefit further study.Graham Niblo at the University of Southampton, UK, stresses that humans will still need to understand the results provided by the AI and creates proofs of these ideas. “AI has 34 got unbelievable abilities. But in the same way that telescopes (望远镜) don’t put astronomers out of work, AI doesn’t put mathematicians out of work,” he says. “It just gives us new 35 that allows us to explore parts of the mathematical landscape that are out of reach.”21．A．go about B．turn to C．break with D．throw in 22．A．rewarded B．encountered C．entitled D．diverged 23．A．components B．perspectives C．variations D．transformations 24．A．enhance B．estimate C．reveal D．guarantee 25．A．predictions B．properties C．arrangements D．allowances 26．A．trapped in B．compared to C．bent on D．based on 27．A．scale B．extent C．width D．dimension 28．A．identify B．grasp C．imply D．cast 29．A．concept B．impression C．essence D．accuracy 30．A．differ B．follow C．multiple D．claim31．A．as though B．even if C．so that D．now that 32．A．display B．expose C．distinguish D．improve 33．A．in turn B．in contrast C．by turns D．in return 34．A．critically B．definitely C．strikingly D．comprehensively 35．A．setting B．booming C．backing D．calling三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh（刻薄的）and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.65.

He walked in the streets of Brooklyn day after day with his favourite music blasting directly into his ears. By his early 20s, Michael had lost much of his upper-range hearing.The children’s Hearing Institute reports th at hearing loss among children and young adults is rising in the United States, and that one-third of the damage is caused by noise.Surrounded by NoiseWe live in a noisy world. Young and old alike are beset by sounds over which we may have little or no control: power mowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, car and house alarms, sirens, motorcycles, Jet Skis, loudspeakers, even movie previews.We attend rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events at which the music is so loud you can hardly hear the person sitting next to you. At home, televisions, stereos and computer games are often turned up so loud that listeners cannot hear a doorbell or a telephone. Many “modern” restaurants have chosen noisy enhancement instead of abatement (减轻). Any time you need to shout to be heard by someone near you, your hearing is most likely to be in a decibel (分贝) danger zone.As if environmental noise were not enough, now we surround children with noisy toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing. Toys that meet the safety standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials can produce sound up to 138 decibels, as loud as a jet taking off. Yet workplace rules require hearing protection for those exposed tonoise above 85 decibels.Introduction A boy lost much of his hearing due to being 1. __________ to headphones.
