AIf you want to learn why everything is usually cheaper, and what items are the best deals at your local or chain dollar or discount store, store employees have a lot of useful information. They tend to know what shoppers want—even before shoppers know themselves.Everyone buys unnecessary thingsWhether you shop at a chain dollar store such as Dollar Tree, Family Dollar or your local 99 cents store, not everything that's on sale is necessarily worth purchasing. Bryan Waring, a former Dollar Tree employee, says that you're not alone in buying more than necessary from these stores. "It seems basic, but everyone falls for this trap," he says. "You go into a store where everything is cheap, and you walk out with things you don't need.” He suggests going into a store—yes, even thedollar store—with a checklist of things you truly need.Everything is cheaper after the holiday seasonPatricia, a seasonal worker at a Dollar Tree, says that the post-Christmas season means even more deals on everything from decorations to sweets. "After Christmas, all the gift wrap paper went to 50 cents, and all Christmas items were half price,” she says. "Even candy bars are 89 cents versus $ 1."Products are less expensive because of their sizeIn order for dollar stores to keep their prices low, product sizes are usually smaller than normal, according to Cheapism. Dollar stores area t the only ones guilty of this trick.Cheapism also reports Walmart is guilty of doing the same thing to attract customers.1. What is Bryan's advice against buying unnecessary things?A. Making a purchase alone.B .Writing a to-buy list ahead.C. Shopping at your local store.D. Buying basic things separately.2. Which of the following is a better time for shopping according to Patricia?A. In the Christmas sales.B. At a particular discount.C. After the Christmas season.D. During some holiday seasons.3. How do stores make their products cheaper?A. By reducing product sizes.B. By lowering product costs.C. By adopting discount strategies.D. By attracting more customers.BIt was just a normal day for Ruth Miller, a 63-year-old woman until everything went horribly wrong. She was walking to her car after shopping when the unthinkable happened.Right as she was unlocking her car, a man quickly came up behind her and tried to wrestle her purse away. She was in shock. Luckily she remembered she had her Safe Personal Alarm （SPA） on her purse, and since she was too scared to scream for help, she quickly reached for the alarm and pulled the pin（保险栓）.Immediately her SPA started just screaming. The man didn't know what to do! He froze for a second, and then ran away like a bat out of hell!SPA is a safety device capable of creating a 125db sound that attracts attention and scares away potential attackers. To compare, it's the same volume as a military jet during takeoff.Paul Davidson, the inventor of SPA, knows all too well the type of situation that Ruth found herself in. But that's not the only type of situation that SPA helps protect against. Parents can give it to their kids as an extra means of protection. Teenagers can use it so they can feel safe walking home Women can know it's there when they have to use the parking lot at night. “My mother, who is 76 years old, carries it around in case she falls and needs to ask people for help.1 only wish I'd have thought of it earlier," said Paul.The police have been recommending SPA since it first hit the market. In fact, since its launch, SPA has been in a state, shifting between in stock to sold out nearly every other week, and it's also got tons of loyal followers worldwide.4. What does the underlined part “the unthinkable" in Paraph 1 refer to?A. An attempted robbery.B. A wrestling match.C. An angry argument.D. A car accident.5. How did Ruth react to the unexpected situation?A. She fought violently.B. She froze in great fear.C. She cried desperately for help.D. She sounded her safety device.6. Why does Paul mention his mother?A. To imply the elderly need more care.B. To suggest he cares about his mother.C. To show SPA can be widely used.D. To make an advertisement for SPA.7. What can be learned from the text?A. SPA is well received in the market.B. People hesitate to pay for security.C. SPA was sold out in the first two weeks.CLike clockwork, nearly every fourth February includes one extra day. February 29th, otherwise known as Leap Day, isn't exactly a holiday. Instead, it's there to keep your calendar consistent with the earth's rotation（旋转）around the sun.According to History, com, Roman emperor Julius Caesar is the “father” of Leap Year. Until he came along, people used a 355-day calendar, which was 10. 25 days shorter than the solar year. Roman officials were supposed add an extra month every now and then to keep the seasons exactly where they should be. But that didn't work out all that well. When special occasions started shiftinginto different seasons around 45 BCE, Caesar consulted with astronomers and decreed（下令) that the empire should use a 12-month, 365- day calendar, which he named after himself, Caesar's Julian calendar included a Leap Day every four years.Though Leap Day keeps your calendar in line with the earth's rotation around the sun, it causes a different kind of problem for leapsters. When should these February 29th babies celebrate their birthdays during the other three-quarters of their lives? Some party on February 28th, while others prefer a two-day celebration that spans the last day of February and the first day of March.Leap Day can be a nuisance in the legal system. In 2006, a court in Massachusetts was deciding whether criminal John Melo could be released a day early since his 10-year sentence included a Leap Day. In the case, the judge decided that since the man was sentenced to prison for years, not days. Leap Day didn't make a bit of difference.Though a few timekeepers have pushed for calendars that don't include Leap Day, almost all astronomers and societies agree that Leap Day is the best method to keep the calendar on track.8. Why was Leap Day created?A. To celebrate special occasions.B. To honor Emperor Julius Caesar.C. To keep pace with the solar year.D. To keep track of all the seasons.9. What is the problem with the birthday celebration of February 29th babies?A. It is sometimes delayed.B. It lasts at least two days.C. It has to be held every other year.D. It may take place on different dates.10. What does the underlined word “nuisance” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Joke.B. Topic.C. Trouble.D. Mistake.11. what is the attitude of most astronomers towards Leap Day?A. Critical.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Cautious.DScientists have developed a new type of smart bandage（绷带）that can signal the type of bacterial（细菌的［infection it's protecting, just like a traffic light, as well as release the right type of drugs on demand. The traffic light system works just like this： Green means no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria, yellow means drug-sensitive （DS） bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics（(抗生素）and causes antibiotic release, and red means drug-resistant （DR） bacteria that need extra help to be wiped out.In testing the bandage on mice, the research team was able to successfully treat both DS and DR infections using the new method. However, the common methods of sensing resistance are limited by time, the requirement for professional personnel,and expensive instruments. Moreover, the abuse of antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance.It's easy to see how a simple bandage and light could overcome some of these limitations. Treatment doesn't have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis, and the bandage can get the right sort of drugs applied at the earliest opportunity. What's more, the person wearing the bandage gets real-time feedback on what's happening with the infection, if there's an infection at all. The researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of light, including photodynamic therapy or PDT.We've been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years, thanks to advances in science—like the nanofibre mesh that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out,speeding up the healing process. Then there's the novel bandage for treating burns, which stops bacteria from multiplying and lowers the risk of infection.The more work that a bandage can do while it's protecting a wound, the better. Efforts to improve bandages continue and now we've got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics, but also tells the patient exactly what's going on too.12. What is the smart bandage mainly designed to do?A. Avoid the use of antibiotics.B. Clear out harmful bacteria.C. Detect bacterial infections.D. Increase treatment options.13. What is the advantage of the smart bandage?A. It saves much time and cost.B. It removes the risk of infection.C. It prevents the bacterial resistance.D. It improves doctor-patient relationship.14.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. Traditional bandages are out of use now.B. More smart bandages will be developed.C. Progress in science calls for more research.D. People are urged to study medical science.15.What does the text focus on?A. A successful test on mice.B. A colour-changing bandage.C. Sensing drug-resistant bacteria.D. Preventing abuse of antibiotics.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。

Eastern India for 60，000 years．They protect their island by fighting against people from outside．Their language is different from any other known language．Another Andaman tribe is the Jarawa．In the past，they were independent and fought against anybody trying to make contact with them．But in 1998，the Indian government built a road across their land，and since then，they’ve had more contact with the outside world．Some Amazon tribes avoid contact because ofunhappy memories．The Mashco-Piro left their vegetable gardens after rubber companies killed most of their tribe at the beginning of the 20th century．Those who survived became nomadic(游牧的)and started hunting animals in the forest．The Awa live in the Amazon forests ofBrazil．Out of 350 members，100 have no contact with the outside world．They left their villages and adopted a nomadic lifestyle around 1850 to escape attacks by Europeans．In the following years，farmers in nearby communities started cutting the trees to expand their farmland．The Awa lost most of their hunting land．The few Amazon tribes that still exist are fighting to keep their traditional way of life．Survival，an organization that fights for the rights of tribal people，says that uncontacted tribes are the most vulnerable(弱势的)humans on the planet and that’s why their environment should be unavailable to the rest of us．After years of pressure，the organization got Brazil’s government to clear non-natives from the Awa land．All non-Awa people are leaving so the tribe can get their forest back．But some think it's impossible for tribes to stay isolated forever

world．11．What can be the best title for the text?A．The Nomadic Tribes in the World B．Seeking Survival of TribesC．The Unavailable Tribal Environment D．Protecting the Tribal ForestsDChinese researchers have developed a robot designed to help doctors treat the new coronavirus and other highly infectious diseases．The machine has a long robotic arm attached to a base with wheels．It can perform some of the same medical examination tasks as doctors．Cameras record the robot’s activities，which are controlled remotely so doctors can avoid coming in close contact with infected patients．Doctors and other medical workers can operate the machine from a nearby room，or from much farther away．The robot’s main designer is Zheng Gangtie，an engineer and professor at Tsinghua University．He told a news agency that he got the idea for the device around the time of the Lunar New Year in January，when the COVID-19 virus was spreading quickly．Zheng said a friend of his is the head of Beijing’s Tsinghua Changgung Hospital．He said his friend told him that one of the biggest problems in dealing with COVID-19 was that healthcare workers treating patients were getting infected themselves．Zheng said he wanted to do something to help this situation．So the engineer gathered a team and went to work on the robotic device．The team was able to convert(转换) two robotic alls．The devices use the same technology that is used for space equipment．The new robot is almost completely automated and perform the most dangerous tasks．However，some doctors said that it would be better not to build such robots to be fully automatic．This is because many patients still desire a personal presence to help calm them during treatment．The plan is to use the robot to help treat coronavirus patients，along with assistance from nurses and other hospital workers．Zheng said he would like to build more of the robots and does not plan to make any profit from the design，but hopes that a company can begin that process．12．What is one feature of the robot?A．It takes the place of doctors．B．It performs tasks through cameras．C．It flees patients from diseases．D．It allows doctors to work from a distance．13．Why did Zheng mention his friend in Paragraph 4?A．To appreciate his timely help．B．To introduce the caring expert．C．To explain the reason for creating the device．D．To show the great danger of COVID-19 virus．14．What did some doctor say about the device in Paragraph 5?A．It requires some improvement．B．It can’t replace doctors completely．C．It is not useful to patients．D．It is of great convenience．15．What can be inferred about Zheng?A．He cares little about money．B．He gets on well with his friends．C．He is a leading scientist in his field．D．He is a teacher at Tsinghua University．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。

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually(21)________(make) them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman'sshoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique(独特的) about this shoe is (22)________ it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there (23)________ (be) not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface Or did she throw away goods that she didn't need in order to travel (24)________(light)Over 100, 000 people with "gold fever" made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure (25)________ the cold weather.The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks(背包) each (26)________ (weigh) up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must (27)________ (be) a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made (28)________ to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century. Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. arguedB. contentC. determineD. diverseE. particularF. identifiedG. awarenessH. pursuingI. persuasionJ. circumstanceK. making SCIENTISTS study it. An increasing number of self-help books tell us the way to find it. In fact, ___29___ happiness has been called the ultimate goal in life by countless talks, TV shows and newspaper and magazine columns. However, happiness, as it was before, is still hard to find.US psychologist Ed Diener, author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth, may have the answer：“a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive than negative emotions”. This may sound straightforward (易懂的) enough, but it still doesn’t explain what can ___30___ people’s happiness. And as The Washington Post ___31___ in an article last month, creating a definition of happiness that is true for people around the world can seem as difficult as being happy.For example, who is happier: someone who has enough money to buy a new mobile phone or someone who has a family dinner after years away from home Nevertheless, as many surveys suggest, one of the most important parts of happiness is wealth. The UN’s World Happiness Report 2015 shows that countries with the highest levels of happiness are developed ones, with Switzerland, Iceland and Denmark ___32___ up the top three. But on the other hand, Bhutan, one of the poorest countries in the world, was ___33___ as the happiest country in Asia andthe eighth happiest in the world in research by Business Week in 2012.Perhaps the biggest problem is how the idea of “happiness” varies in ___34___ cultures and languages.As The Washington Post noted, the word “happy” can refer to different things in English. It might mean a brief mood you feel when someone surprises you with a gift or you think of friends and family. Or it could refer to ___35___ with your life. But not all languages refer to happiness the same way. In Danish, for example, happiness is of ten translated as “lykke”, a term that can describe everyday well-being that might come from a nice cup of coffee or a slice of bread with cheese.In Chinese, the word for happiness is xingfu, which is used to describe a good life or a ___36___ that makes people feel free from worry. For a good mood, however, kuaile is used more often.Another difference in the ___37___ of happiness, as The Washington Post put it, is that Western countries tend to have quite an “individualistic view of human life”. In China and many other Asian countries, social relationships, with family in ___38___, are one of the most important factors in a person’s well-being.So, are you happy And what makes you happyIII. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The standard research report, regardless of the field or the intended reader, contains four major sections:Problem Section. The first section is the statement of the problem with which the research project is __39__. There should be an explanation of the ___40__-- social, economic, medical, psychological, educational, etc. -- of the question; ___41___, why the investigation was worth conducting. Thus, we must explain that the question is thought to have significant relevance to certain problems and might___42__ some sort of regulations on them. As a part, a review of past researches is recommended, which consists of summaries of the __43____of previous researchers with some assessment of the value to your recent research.Procedures Section. This section___44___ , with as much data as possible, exactly how the study was carried out. It usually includes description of any necessary equipment, how the subjects were selected, how many ___45___were made and when, what statistical technique was used to ____46___ the findings, etc. The goal of this section is to allow the reader to redo the experiment if such were desired to ___47___your findings.___48___ Section. The third section, perhaps the most important, is the presentation of what is obtained from the investigation. The basic rule in this section is to give all the data relative to the research question __49___ asked. If the experiments undertaken fail to prove anything, or if the data was inadequate or___50____expectations, the report should be honestly written and as complete as possible, just as it would be if the hypothesis(假设) were totally proven by the research.Discussion Section. The final required section of a research report is a discussion of the results obtained and a statement of any conclusions drawn from them. Ofprimary importance is the conclusion for future decision making.__51____, the discussion section must assess the research results fully: were they validly obtained, are they complete or limited, are they ___52__ over a wide range of circumstances The discussion section should also point out what question remain___53___ and perhaps suggest directions for further research.39.

A. flexible B. applicable C. predicable D. recognizable53. A. unanswered B. unprocessed C. discussed D. investigatedSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)It’s nice to have people of like mind around. Agreeable people boost your confid ence and allow you to relax and feel comfortable. Unfortunately, that comfort can hinder the very learning that can expand your company and your career.It’s nice to have people agree, but you need conflicting perspectives to dig out the truth. If everyone around you has similar views, your work will suffer from confirmation bias (偏颇).Take a look at your own network. Do your contacts share your point of view on most subjects If yes, it’s time to shake things up. As a leader, it can be challenging to create an environment in which people will freely disagree and argue, but as the saying goes：From confrontation comes brilliance.It’s not easy for most people to actively seek conflict. Many spend their lives trying to avoid arguments. There’s no need to go out and find people you hate, but you need to do some self-assessment to determine where you have become stale in your thinking. You may need to start by encouraging your current network to help you identify your blind spots.Passionate, energetic debate does not require anger and hard feelings to be effective. But it does require moral strength. Once you have worthy opponents, set some ground rules so everyone understands responsibilities and boundaries. Theobjective of this debating game is not to win but to get to the truth that will allow you to move faster, farther, and better.Fierce debating can hurt feelings, particularly when strong personalities are involved. Make sure you check in with your opponents so that they are not carrying the emotion of the battles beyond the battlefield. Break the tension with smiles and humor to reinforce the idea that this is friendly discourse and that all are working toward a common goal.Reward all those involved in the debate sufficiently when the goals are reached. Let your sparring partners (拳击陪练) know how much you appreciate their contribution. The more they feel appreciated, the more they’ll be willing to get into the ring next time.54. What does the author suggest leaders doA. Avoid arguments with business partners.B. Encourage people to disagree and argue.C. Build a wide and strong business network.D. Seek advice from their worthy competitors.55. What is the purpose of holding a debateA. To find out the truth about an issue.B. To remove misunderstandings.C. To build up people’s moral strength.D. To look for worthy opponents.56. What advice does the author give to people engaged in a fierce debateA. They listen carefully to their opponents’ views.B. They show due respect for each other’s beliefs.C. They present their views clearly and explicitly.D. They take care not to hurt each other’s feelings.57. How should we treat our rivals after a successful debateA. Try to make peace with them.B. Invite them to the ring next time.C. Try to make up the differences.D. Acknowledge their contribution.(B)Micro-Enterprise Credit for Street YouthIntroductionAlthough small-scale business training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world, relatively little attention has been paid to the need to direct such chances to the street youth. Over the past nine years, Street Kids International (S.K.I.) has been working with partner organizations in Africa, Latin America and India to support the economic lives of street children. The purpose of this paper is to share some of the lessons S.K.I. has learned.BackgroundTypically, children end up on the streets not due to a single cause, but to a combination of factors: a lack of adequately funded(资助) schools, the demand for income at home, family breakdown and violence. The street may be attractive to children as a place to find adventurous play and money. However, it is also a place where some children are exposed, with little or no protection, to unfair employment,urban crime, and abuse.Street Business PartnershipsS.K.I. has worked with partner organizations in Latin America, Africa and India to develop opportunities for street children to earn income.*The S.K.I. Bicycle Courier Service first started in the Sudan. Participants in this enterprise were supplied with bicycles, which they used to deliver parcels and messages, but they were required to pay for it gradually from their wages.*The Youth Skills Enterprise plan in Zambia is a joint program with the Red Cross Society. Street youths are supported to start their own small business through life skills training and access to credit.Lessons learnedThe following lessons have been learned from the programs.*It is critical for all loans(贷款) to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic business and life skills.*Small loans are provided at first for purchasing equipments such as bicycles, shoe shining kits.*All S.K.I. programs have charged interest on the loans, primarily to get the business runners used to the concept of paying interest on borrowed money. Generally the rates have been modest.ConclusionThere is a need to recognize the importance of access to credit for poor young people seeking to fulfill economic needs.58.The organization, S.K.I., aims to ______.A. provide schools and social support for street childrenB. give business training and loans to street childrenC. share the lessons S.K.I learned to help street childrenD. draw the attention of the government to street children59.This passage implies that with the help of S.K.I, street children may ______.A. reject paid employmentB. leave their familiesC. set up their own businessD. employ other children60.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passageA. The link of all loans to training programs is crucial.B. The youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia works with another organization.C. Interest is charged for the loans in all S.K.I programs.D. The S.K.I Bicycle Courier Service provides the participants with free bicycles. (C)"There is one and only one social responsibility of business" wrote Milton Friedman, a Nobel Prize-winning economist "That is, to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits." But even if you accept Friedman's premise and regard corporate social responsibility(CSR) policies as a waste of shareholders's money, things may not be absolutely clear-act. New research suggests that CSR may create monetary value for companies at least when they are prosecuted for corruption.The largest firms in America and Britain together spend more than $15 billion a yearon CSR, according to an estimate by EPG, a consulting firm. This could add value to their businesses in three ways. First, consumers may take CSR spending as a "signal" that a company's products are of high quality. Second, customers may be willing to buy a company's products as an indirect may to donate to the good causes it helps. And third, through a more diffuse "halo effect" whereby its good deeds earn it greater consideration from consumers and others.Previous studies on CSR have had trouble differentiating these effects because consumers can be affected by all three. A recent study attempts to separate them by looking at bribery prosecutions under American's Foreign Corrupt PracticesAct(FCPA).It argues that since prosecutors do not consume a company's products as part of their investigations，they could be influenced only by the halo effect.The study found that，among prosecuted firms，those with the most comprehensive CSR programmes tended to get more lenient penalties. Their analysis ruled out the possibility that it was firm's political influence, rather than their CSR stand, that accounted for the leniency: Companies that contributed more to political campaigns did not receive lower fines.In all, the study concludes that whereas prosecutors should only evaluate a case based on its merits, they do seem to be influenced by a company's record in CSR. "We estimate that either eliminating a substantial labour-rights concern, such as child labour, or increasing corporate giving by about20% result in fines that generally are 40% lower than the typical punishment for bribing foreign officials." says one researcher.Researchers admit that their study does not answer the question at how much businesses ought to spend on CSR. Nor does it reveal how much companies are banking on the halo effect, rather than the other possible benefits, when they companies get into trouble with the law, evidence of good character can win them a less costly punishment.61.The author views Milton Friedman's statement about CSR with_________. uncertainty B. skepticism C. approval D.tolerance62.According to Paragraph 2, CSR helps a company by_________.guarding it against malpractices B. protecting it from consumersC. winning trust from consumers.D. raising the quality of its products63.The expression "more lenient"(line 2,Para.4)is closest in meaning to __________. less controversial B. more lasting C. more effective D.less severe64.When prosecutors evaluate a case, a company's CSR record________.A. comes across as reliable evidenceB. has an impact on their decisionC. increases the chance of being penalizedD. constitutes part of the investigation65.Which of the following is true of CSR according to the last paragraphA. The necessary amount of companies spending on it is unknownB. Companies' financial capacity for it has been overestimatedC. Its negative effects on businesses are often overlookedD. It has brought much benefit to the banking industrySection CDirections: Read the following 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.I learned that a poorly worded apology can result in lasting anger. Righting a wrong can be especially challenging when it involves family members, who may be inclined to cite history as an excuse for hurtful behavior. I suggest apologizing for your own part in the incident, however small it may be. I recently discovered that a sincere apology can be a powerful medicine with surprising value for the giver as well as he recipient. The best apologies are short and don’t include exp lanations that can undo them And even when an apology is offered with the best of intentions, it can be seriously undermined by the way in which it is wordedMost people say “I’m sorry” many times a day for a host of trivial affronts —accidentally bumping into someone or failing to hold open a door. These apologies are easy and usually readily accepted, often with a response like, “No problem.” However, when “I’m sorry” are the words needed to right truly hurtful words, acts or inaction, they can be the hardest ones to say. ________66________._______67_________. After learning that a neighbor who had assaulted me verbally was angry about an oversight I was not aware I had committed, I wrote a letter in the hope of ending the hostility. Without offering any excuses, I apologized for my overnight in etiquette and respect. I said I was not asking for or expecting forgiveness. Then I delivered the letter with a jar of my homemade jam. Expecting nothing in return, I was greatly relieved when my doorbell rang and the neighbor thanked me warmly for what I had said and done.According to psychologist Harriet Lerner, apologies followed by rationalizations are “never satisfying” and can even be harmful. When “but” is tagged onto an apology, it’s an excuse that counter s the sincerity of the original message.________68__________,”she wrote in her new book Why Won’t You ApologizeNor should a request for forgiveness be part of an apology. The offended party may accept a sincere apology but still be unready to forgive the mistake. Forgiveness, should it come, may depend on a demonstration going forward that offense will not be repeated._________69_________. History can be used as an explanation, not an excuse. It should involve a conversation that allows the hurt party to express anger and pain if an apology, however sincere, is to heal a broken connection,” Lerner said.“I’m sorry” are the two most healing words in the English language. Knowing how to say “I’m sorry” is an ability to take a clear look at how our behavior affects others and to assume responsibility for acting at another person’s expense.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.I used to joke that I spoke French like a 3-year-old. Until I met a French 3-year-old and couldn’t keep the conversation.This was after a year of intense study, includingat least two hours a day with self-instruction software and weekend classes, followed by two weeks of an immersion program at one of the top language schools in France.My failure was in fact quite unremarkable. Despit advertising claims, learning a foreign language is a challenging task for any adult. In the end, though, it turns out that spending a year “not learning” French may have been the best things I could have done for my 57-year-old brain.In the last few years. I was unable to hold a list of four grocery items in my mind. So to reassure myself that nothing was wrong, I took a cognitive assessment just before tackling French. The result were anything but reassuring: I scored below average for my age group in nearly all of the categories, especailly on the composite memory test and the visual memory test.After a year of struggling with the language, I retook cognitive assessment, and the results shocked me. My scores had improved, placing me above average in 7 of 10 categories, and average in the other three. Studying a language had been like drinking from a mental fountain of youth.What might explain such an improvement Researchers at the Chinese University of HongKong and Northwestern University noted that the cognitive tasks involved in language study— like working memory, inductive reasoning, sound discrimination and task switching — map closely related to the areas of the brain that are most associated with declines due to aging.If my experience is any indication, you might be better off by studying a language. Not only is that a far more useful and enjoyable activity than an abstract brain game, but as a reward for your efforts, you can treat yourself to a trip abroad. That’s why I plan to spend the nest year “not learnig” Italian.第II卷平衡的饮食是保持健康的关键。

江苏省如皋中学2022-2023学年高三4月阶段测试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________2．Which equipment promises to improve work efficiency?A．Stability Cushion and Fitness Tracker.B．Stability Cushion and Balance Ball Chair.C．Under-desk Elliptical and Fitness Tracker.D．Under-desk Elliptical and Balance Ball Chair.3．What may be the problem of Fitness Tracker?A．It wears out easily over time.B．It may fail to get linked at times.C．It offers few personalized choices.D．It doesn’t allow the use of other apps.Well, well, well. It looks like robots are now coming for our beloved furry friends. According to a new study, animal robots may be just as effective, if not better, at providing therapeutic (治疗的) benefits to children as real pets. As someone who has both interacted with real dogs and robots, I can tell you that this is quite a bold claim.Sure, robots may have some benefits over real dogs. They can work for longer hours and won’t cause allergies (过敏) or pass on diseases. But can a robot give you that wet-nosed,tail-wagging, slobber-filled experience that a real dog can? I think not.Now, I’m not saying that robots don’t have their place in therapy. In fact, I can see how an animal robot could be helpful in certain situations where a real dog might not be possible. But let’s not go replacing all the good boys and girls with robots just yet.As for the study, it’s interesting to see that while the kids said they loved real-life dogs better, they actually spent more time interacting with the robot. I can only imagine that it was doing some pretty impressive tricks, some robot dance or robot jokes maybe, to hold the kids’ attention for that long.In all seriousness, though, I do think it’s important to consider the welfare of therapy dogs. Visiting hospitals can be stressful and tiring for them, and we should be exploring all options to make therapy experiences as positive and enjoyable as possible for both the animals and the patients.So, while I may not be ready to trade in my furry friends for robots just yes, I am open to the idea of introducing animal robots into therapy programs. Who knows? Maybe one day we’ll all have our own personal robot pets that can provide us with just as much love and companionship as the real thing. But until then, I’ll stick with my trusty furry friends. 4．What is the text?A．A response to a recent study.B．A summary of a scientific study.C．A news report of a new invention.D．A review on a medical experiment. 5．What does the writer mean by saying “this is quite a bold claim” in paragraph 1? A．The new study is quite a breakthrough.B．His personal experience supports the study. C．Robots have no therapeutic benefits to children.D．Robots cannot replace real pets at present stage.6．Which of the following is a finding of the new study?A．The kids preferred robot pets to real dogs.B．Robots kept the kids’ interest for a longer time.C．The kids’ concentration was effectively improved.D．Robots had more tricks to impress kids than real dogs.7．Why is the author open to the idea of using robots in therapy?A．They can share some of therapy pets’ work.B．They can guarantee the welfare of therapy pets.C．They provide us with just as much love as real pets.D．They are better at releasing patients’ stress and tiredness.The best ideas are often so smart, so simple and so clearly needed; it’s strange to discover they don’t already exist. So it is with Farm My School, a program that’s turning underused land at secondary schools into commercially achievable, regenerative market gardens farmed by and for local communities.Co-founded by permaculturist Ben Shaw and regenerative educator James McLennan, Farm My School connects local people and organizations through volunteering that helps establish a school’s market garden. Students learn about community networks, healthy eating, ecological responsibility, waste reduction, and climate relief while helping with food production. Schools integrate all these into their courses while producing vegetable boxes every week that feed local families, supply the school’s food needs and ultimately pay the farmer’s salary.Farm My School has gained the extraordinary enthusiasm of the locals, who answered an online shout-out to buy tickets to the program’s launch event at Bell Secondary School last October. Called Build A Farm in a Day Festival, the event featured workshops by Ben and James to share the skills required to build what they say is the world’s largest no-dig garden.Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store, where she let the store’s assistant choose him because she didn’t want other scientists to say that she bad intentionally chosen an especially smart bird. Given that Alex’s brain was just the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg’s communication study would be futile.But with Pepperberg’s patient teaching, Alex learned how to follow almost 100 English words. He could count to six and had learned the sound for seven and eight. But the point was not to see if Alex could learn words by heart. Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird’s understanding of the world.In one demonstration, Pepperberg held up a green key and a green cup for him to look at. “What’s the same?” she asked. “Color,” Alex responded without hesitation. “What’s different?” Pepperberg asked. “Shape,” Alex quickly replied. His voice had the sound of a cartoon character. But the words — and what can only be called the thoughts — were entirely his. Many of Alex’s skills, such as his ability to understand the concepts of “same” and “different”, are rare in the animal world. Living in a complex society, parrots like Alex must keep track of changing relationships and environments.During the demonstration, as if to offer final proof of the mind inside his bird’s brain, Alex spoke up. “Talk clearly!” he commanded, when one of the younger birds Pepperberg was also teaching mispronounced the word “green”.Alex knew all the answers himself and was getting bored. “He’s moody,” said Pepperberg, “so he interrupts the others, or he gives the wrong answer just to be difficult.” Pepperberg was certainly learning more about the mind of a parrot, but like the parent of a troublesome teenager, she was learning the hard way.12．Why did Pepperberg let the shop assistant choose the bird?A．A bird with a small brain was needed.B．She wanted a very smart bird for her study. C．A research subject should be randomly chosen.D．The shop assistant was better at choosing birds.13．What might most researchers think of Pepperberg’s study at first?A．Innovative.B．Practical.C．Costly.D．Fruitless. 14．Which of the following aspects of Alex’s ability did Pepperberg’s study focus on? A．Understanding concepts.B．Calculating.C．Recognizing voices.D．Creating English words.15．What caused Pepperberg’s struggle in her study?A．Her instructions had to be easy for Alex.B．Alex was sometimes too clever to control. C．Alex would point out other birds’ mistakes.D．She had trouble understanding Alex’s mood.二、七选五G．Buildings that fulfill these criteria offer both peace of mind and beauty for their users.28．A．suitable B．eager C．grateful D．hopeful 29．A．asked B．walked C．invited D．introduced 30．A．annoyance B．amazement C．concern D．disappointment 31．A．Give B．Accept C．Mind D．Follow 32．A．criticizing B．kidding C．disturbing D．interfering 33．A．curious B．frightened C．unbelievable D．regretful 34．A．expressions B．moments C．possessions D．chances 35．A．immediately B．constantly C．unexpectedly D．apparently四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、开放性作文46．为庆祝4月20日中文语言日，你校举办了主题活动。

grammatically correct.DNA analysis reveals two waves of migrationThe results of the study,published in the Science Bulletin,revealed two major migration waves in history.In this pioneering study,scientists from Fudan University(21)______(dig)into the ancient DNA of individuals buried in Gansu province,revealing interesting insights into the genetic makeup of Hexi Corridor residents dating back over12centuries.The research employed ancient DNA data(22)______(explore)human migration along the Hexi Corridor.The Hexi Corridor,was a narrow yet crucial link(23)______(connect)the heartland of ancient China to the Western Territory.Characterized by its lofty mountains and deserts,the ancient pathway was dotted with cities(24)______(found)along short rivers.Historical documents attest(证实)to the Hexi Corridor’s significance as a crossroads (25)______Western and Eastern civilizations mixed through trade,religion and occasional conflicts following the establishment of the Silk Road during the Han Dynasty.(26)______technological advances in biology open new avenues for exploration, archaeologists are increasingly drawn to analyzing DNA samples.Led by Wen Shaoqing from Fudan University’s Institute of Archaeological Science,the team successfully extracted DNA data (27)______the teeth and bones found at two sites near Dunhuang.The DNA analysis pinpointed two outliers(异常样本)dating to the Wei Dynasty and the Tang.Further examination revealed one had approximately50percent western Eurasian ancestry and(28)____________30percent,suggesting the individuals were likely descendants of unions between western Eurasian women and local men.(29)______the team concluded was that the genetic mix could be partially attributed to those migrations.Experts said the second major migration period(30)______(mark)by a significant shift in the gene pool.Historical records say migration facilitated by Chinese explorer Zhang Qian’s visit to the Western Territory from138BC resulted in the creation of the Silk Road.Section BDirections:After reading the passage below,fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.Will AI allow humans to play a part?Rebecca used to have a regular job,translating a fashion brand’s website into German.One day a big change happened.The company(31)______to using machine translation.She kept the job,and it still paid the bills;however,she was now there to check and(32)______whatever was produced by the computer.But there was a complaint.“What it meant,(33)______,was that we humans were training a machine,”she says.Each corrected caption for a mid-priced T-shirt,each pair of skinny jeans,was a data point for the robot that was going to replace her.With the(34)______of chat programs that can imitate humans,the world is now beginning to consider what the coming of artificial intelligence means.What will it do for our jobs if many once(35)______professions—law,accountancy,medicine—disappear?What does it mean to be a human when the thing that humans most(36)______—intelligence—has become the cheapest product on the planet?Translators,for good and ill, don’t have to wonder.“You can take the world of translators and interpreters as a(37)______of the world,”says Nicki Bone,chairwoman of the board of the Institute of Translating and Interpreting.Not all of them are adjusting.“Of course,we have our(38)______,”but she adds,“There are also opportunities,and optimists.”The speed of change,though,has been(39)______.Increasingly,says Bone,she and her colleagues are acting as editors of a machine’s first pass,rather than translators of the raw material.For some,that’s fine.“People will say,‘OK,instead of working at one rate for this number of words per hour,I’m working at many more words per hour,but for a much lower rate.’Some are happy to take on.Some won’t,as a matter of principle.”As we are(40)______at ChatGPT and its great ability to imitate human writing,translators are,compared with the rest of the professions,sensitive.Anyway,this technology is here to stay.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Sandhya Sriram is impatient.The stem-cell(干细胞)scientist wanted to put her knowledge to use,developing cultivated seafood.Yet no one was doing that in Singapore.So four years ago, she set up a company to create lab-grown crustacean(甲壳纲动物)meat.(41)______,she registered her company,Shiok Meats in August2018.“Nobody was doing crustaceans,”says Sriram,Shiok’s Group CEO and co-founder.“What do Asians eat the most?Seafood.It was a simple answer.And they’re so delicious.”A lifelong(42)______,she had never tried real shrimp, but she sampled it the week she registered the company.Today,the results of her(43)______can be seen at the headquarters of her company.During a fall2022visit,a bioprocess engineer looked into a microscope carefully.He had taken samples from a bioreactor in the room next door,where the company is(44)______crustacean cells. Under the lens,he was checking to see if the cells were ready to harvest.Shiok Meats has already revealed shrimp,lobster,and crab prototypes(最初形态)to a select group of tasters,and it plans to(45)______regulatory approval to sell its lab-grown shrimp by April2023.That could make it the first in the world to bring cultivated shrimp to diners,putting it at the leading position of the cultivated-meat(46)______.As of this writing,only one company has gained regulatory approval to sell lab-grown animal-protein products:Eat Jus’s cultured chicken is(47)______but only in Singapore.Shiok Meats still needs to submit all the paperwork necessary and get regulatory approval,but the company hopes to see its products in restaurants by mid-2024,offering foodies a more environmentally friendly option free of(48)______than crustaceans from farms.But even if that ambitious(49)______is met,it will likely be a while before the average person is eating cultivated crustaceans.It will require not just regulatory approval but also more funding and a bigger factory,along with(50)______consumers and governments around the world to accept lab-grown seafood.“We’re at an interesting stage of a startup;it’s called the Valley of Death,”says Sriram.“We are in the space where we haven’t submitted for regulatory approval yet,but we’re looking to commercialize in the next two years.”Nevertheless,the impatient entrepreneur is(51)______. Sriram hopes to have the company’s next manufacturing plant ready by the end of2023,where a 500-liter and a2,000-liter bioreactor will be a major(52)______from its current50-and200-liter bioreactors.The goal is for her products to enter the mainstream in Singapore in five to seven years.(53)______these products could help tackle some of the environmental impacts of crustacean anic waste,chemicals,and antibiotics from seafood farms can pollutegroundwater.Shiok Meats says the way it produces crustacean meat minimizes animal cruelty,as growing protein in a lab helps avoid(54)______animals.And cultivating shrimp closer to where it’s(55)______cuts emissions from fishing-boat fuel and shipping products around the world.In a word,when science meets seafood,many wonderful things happen naturally.41.

A.captured B.stranded C.consumed D.produced Section BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)There is no known date for when the ancient Greeks or Romans first shared their stories about gods,monsters and heroes.But for the modern myth known as Star Wars,that date is May 25,1977,when the original movie opened in theaters and kicked off a global phenomenon that spanned films,TV shows,novels,comic books,toys,lunchboxes,bed sheets and more.Even today,Star Wars remains an enduring touchstone(检验标准)of pop culture.Critically praised or not,the movies continue to be a big hit.And just as we know when the mythology began,we also know who invented it: writer-director George Lucas.His inspiration,he told TIME in1977,was“all the books and films and comics that I liked when I was a child…My main reason for making it was to give young people an honest,wholesome fantasy life,the kind my generation had.”No one could predict just how much Lucas’creation would catch on—not even Lucas himself or the film’s star Mark Hamill,who played young hero Luke Skywalker.“I had no idea itwould be as successful as it was,”Hamill said in2017,marking the original film’s40th anniversary.“I just thought I would be a fan of this even if I weren’t involved.”Before Lucas created Star Wars,he had an even more ambitious goal—to blow up the ways of Old Hollywood.And he did.Star Wars introduced a new era of moviemaking,one that saw the development of amazing special effects and the tools to achieve them.After this legend, filmmakers felt free to bring their wildest ideas to life in totally realistic ways that left audiences thrilled.Why did Star Wars become such a powerful force?Hamill credits its ability to satisfy the human need for escapism.“People value the idea of going away to some happy place,”he said,“whether it’s Oz or Narnia or Middle Earth or Hogwarts.I think it appeals to children of all ages. It doesn’t matter if you’re6or60.It appeals to the optimistic young idealism that I think every person has,however buried it might be.”56.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.People should keep digging into the history of ancient myths.B.More products associated with Star Wars have been created.C.Some people’s criticism of Star Wars made it less popular than before.D.Star Wars is more successful in the business field than in the entertainment field.57.Why did George Lucas invent Star Wars?A.To break the old rules and traditions of making films.B.To appeal to the optimistic young men to pursue their dreams.C.To encourage other filmmakers to bring their wild ideas to life.D.To offer young people an as good and healthy fantasy life as he had.58.Star Wars can have such a great influence mainly because______.A.it meets people’s pursuit for a place to escapeB.it symbolizes the beginning of the modern mythC.the special effects offer amazing viewing experienceD.the main actors in this film are very popular among the public59.This passage is written to_____________.A.inspire people to be optimistic and idealB.introduce the basic information about Star WarsC.recommend the talented writer-director George LucasD.criticize the fact that Star Wars is not as well made as before(B)Looking for a career change?Check out these unconventional options! The Waterslide TesterWhen the pool where he worked as a lifeguard was closed during the COVID-19pandemic, Guillaume Pop took jobs at various other pools that were virtually deserted.In one video on the social platform,he pretended to be a“professional waterslide tester”.Unexpectedly,Pop became a social media sensation.He was then hired to“test”slides and other facilities at water parks and swimming pools all over France.“It’s the best job in the world,”declares Pop,whose videos have received80million views.“I’m not behind a desk.I’m active and outside in the sun.In fact,all the children tell me they want to be a waterslide tester!”The Reindeer HerderFinnish Lapland is home to around200,000wild reindeer.Anne Ollila,one of the4,000 owners of these animals,works in this harsh but beautiful region with her big family.She gave up her job as a sociology researcher in2010to devote herself to reindeer herding full time.In summer,Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to12miles a night through marsh and forest, enduring all kinds of insects.In deepest winter there is little daylight.Grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection.“Life here isn’t easy but it’s how nature works,”says Ollila,“I love the environment,the animals and the freedom.Also,I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me,to the chain of life through the generations.”The Zombie TrainerStevie Douglas,a52-year-old Scot,has taught people how to behave like all varieties of the undead.A big fan of horror movies,Douglas noticed the zombies he saw in films were often unconvincing.“Their movement was poor and I thought I could do better.”So,in2012,he formed ScareScotland to provide zombies for films and events such as horror conventions.A year later they started a zombie training program,which took off when they received a request for300 zombies for a three-week-long interactive production.“What we do is very specific.”says Douglas.Many people enjoy being frightened,and he’s happy to oblige them.60.What do the three people introduced in the passage above have in common?A.Their jobs are dangerous,unstable and low-paid.B.Their jobs are well received throughout the world.C.They have great passion and pride in what they do.D.They need professional qualifications to do their job.61.What does Guillaume Pop like most about his job?A.It has a sense of freedom.B.It is full of vigor and energy.C.It is what he has been doing for decades.D.It satisfies people’s wishes to be frightened.62.Who is most probably interested in this passage?A.Employees who are considering switching jobs.B.Students who are applying for ideal universities.C.Children who are interested in unusual activities.D.Graduates who are deciding on their essay topics.(C)The phrase“coin toss”is a classic equivalent to randomness.But since atleast the18th century,mathematicians have suspected that even fair coins tendto land on one side slightly more often than the other.Proving this tiny bias(偏见),however,would require hundreds of thousands of carefully recordedcoin tosses,making laboratory tests a nightmare.František Bartoš,currently a Ph.D.candidate at the University of Amsterdam,became fascinated by this challenge four years ago.He couldn’t round up enough volunteers to investigate it at first.“Nobody was stupid enough to spend a couple of weekends tossing coins,”he says.But after he began his Ph.D.studies,he tried again,recruiting47volunteers(many of them friends and fellow students)from six countries.Multiple weekends of coin tossing later,the team had performed350,757tosses,breaking the previous record of40,000.The tossed coins,according to previous findings,landed with the same side facing upward as before the toss50.8percent of the time.The large number of throws allows statisticians to conclude that the nearly one percent bias isn’t a fluke.“We can be quite sure there is a bias in coin tosses after this data set,”Bartošsays.The leading theory explaining the subtle advantage comes from a2007physics study by statistician Persi Diaconis and his colleagues,whose calculations predicted a same-side bias of 51percent.From the moment a coin is launched into the air,its entire path in the air—including whether it lands on heads or tails—can be calculated by the laws of mechanics.The researchersdetermined that coins in the air barely turn around their symmetrical axis(对称轴);instead they tend to move off-center unsteadily,which causes them to spend a little more time in the air with their initial“up”side on top.For day-to-day decisions,coin tosses are as good as random because a one percent bias isn’t perceptible with just a few coin tosses,says another statistician who wasn’t involved in the new research.Still,the study’s conclusions should eliminate any doubt that still exists regarding the coin toss’s slim bias.It isn’t difficult to prevent this bias from influencing your coin-toss matches;simply concealing the coin’s starting position before tossing it should do the trick.Alternatively,you can do away with tossing altogether by shaking the coin between your palms.But if your friends are unaware of the tiny bias,you may as well benefit from your slight advantage.After all,51percent odds beat a lot.63.Why was it difficult to prove the tiny bias in coin tosses?A.Because it required a large number of trials and loads of tests.B.Because few scientists and researchers were interested in this topic.C.Because scientists lacked the ability and technique to conduct this study.D.Because previous researches failed many times and scientists lost confidence.64.The meaning of the underlined word fluke in paragraph3most probably refers to somethingthat____________.A.happens by accidentB.can be planned in advanceC.occurs under specific conditionsD.can be gained by practice65.What can we imply from the last paragraph?A.This one percent bias matters little in real life.B.We should rely on this one percent bias to help us.C.Though unnoticeable,we may still take advantage of this bias.D.Relying on the one percent bias to win a coin-toss match is unfair.66.What is the best title of this passage?A.Risk-takers?Experts recommend coin-toss matches.B.Luck or Maths?Here’re some tips on tossing coins.C.Coin collectors?There’re stories behind each coin.D.Heads or Tails?Research suggests it’s not50-50.Section CDirections:Read the following passage.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.The young lead new trends in consumption marketWith the post-1990generation becoming a vibrant(充满活力的)force in society and the post-2000generation gradually entering the workforce,the purchasing power of the new generation of consumers has been steadily growing.(67)_______________________Growing up in the internet era,the young consumers generally have higher education levels and a broader global outlook,and come from a relatively strong economic background.As such,their consumption behavior is different from that of the earlier generations.In terms of consumption pattern,online shopping has become the top choice for young people.Young people not only comprise a comparatively high percentage of internet users but also tend to shop online.(68)_______________________This makes them easily influenced by product promotions and influencers on social media.And yet a trend toward rational consumption has been growing rapidly over the past few years.(69)_______________________Instead,they focus more on product quality and functionality.They tend to compare products and services,and do some research before making purchasing decisions,in order to get the best out of their purchase.According to a study conducted by the Social Survey Center of China Youth Daily,90.1percent of the1,000young respondents said their consumption decision is based on the“spending where necessary and saving where possible”principle.Besides,young consumers seek more personalized and diversified products, reflecting their emotional needs and increasing sense of self-worth.(70)_____________________ When it comes to brand cognition,young consumers seem to favor domestic products. Thanks to information online,young consumers no longer blindly pursue foreign brands and instead prefer local brands,highlighting their confidence in Chinese-made products.From Li-Ning, Anta to Warrior shoes,domestic brands in various fields are being warmly welcomed by youngconsumers.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.The ingredients of loveIn modern times,finding love seems more central to people’s lives.Then,researchers wonder, can love,a highly valued emotional state,be created?To help determine the ingredients of attraction,one research paired164college classmates and had them talk for3,6or10minutes to get a sense of each other’s individuality.Then students were asked to predict what kind of relationship they might build with their partners.After nine weeks,they reported what happened.Reports showed their initial judgments often held true.All these students seemed to distinguish at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction.Many animals give off pheromones—natural chemicals that can be detected by,and then can produce a response in,other animals of the same species.Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling open to partnerships.In contrast,humans do not seem to be as gifted as other animals at detecting such chemicals.Smell,however,does seem to play a part in human attraction.Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously,we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors,including seeing something we find attractive.Researchers had people judge faces for attractiveness.The participants had0.013 seconds to view each face,yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces.The way we assess attractiveness seems to be somewhat automatic.When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations,people responded to positive words faster after viewing an attractive face.Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.中国文化产业充当着文化交流的桥梁。

He silently promised himself that he would never cheat again.From that day forward,Raj kept his promise.The cheating incident served as a harsh reminder for him to stay attentive during classes,to respect the learning process,and to avoid the foolish thoughts of shortcuts.【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文。

山东省青岛市2022届高三4月模拟练习英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The 14th National Games held in Xi’an has triggered great interest — not only in sports and fitness, but also in the host city itself. If you are planning a tour of Xi’an taking less than 3 days, you’ll want to hit all the following highlights.The Terracotta ArmyThe Terracotta Army is not just China’s premier historical attraction but one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century, which was constructed by China’s First Emperor Qin Shi Huang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-207 BC). It is a collection of thousands of life-size terracotta soldiers, horses, and chariots (战车) in battle formation, showing the emperor’s armies in full splendor.Ancient City WallXi’an City Wall was built in the 14th century by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) as a military defense system. Now it is one of the oldest and best-preserved Chinese city walls. The wall is now a landmark, dividing the city into inner and outer areas.Giant Wild Goose PagodaOne of China’s most famous Buddhist pagodas, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) for the study of Buddhist scriptures. One of the main functions of the pagoda was to store sutras (经文) brought to China from India by the famous monk and traveler Xuan Zang. It was built with layers of bricks and has a grand structure and appearance.

To Radcliffe’s surprise, Jones immediately took the senior by the hand and brought her to an empty seat in first class. “For the ENTIRE flight, I could see him checking in on her, patting her back, helping her get up, walking her (holding hands) up and down the aisle and generally ‘mother hen-ing’ her,” Radcliffe wrote on Facebook.When Radcliffe asked if he needed any help caring for the woman, Jones simply said: “I got this.” “He told me his grandmother had Parkinson’s and that he was all good, but that he very much appreciated my offer for help,” said Radcliffe. “As I sat in my seat, I literally had tears in my eyes.” Radcliffe, who works at a hospital in Marquette, Michigan, praised Jones for his kindness before she left the plane. Then, she posted the photos of Jones on Facebook where they have been shared thousands of times.As news agencies continue to pick up the story of Jones’s sympathy, the flight attendant also turned to social media to express his thankfulness for the experience. “All of the positive comments, shares, feedback, etc. have been an amazing and humbling experience for me,” wrote Jones. “And thank you to Delta for showcasing my story, which happens to be one of thousands upon thousands of the good deeds and hearts we as flight attendants perform and share every day in and out of the air.”4．How did Jones deal with the older woman?A．He followed Radcliffe’s instructions.B．He took care of her skillfully and attentively.C．He turned to doctors on the flight for help.D．He provided her with professional treatment.5．What can we learn about Radcliffe from the story?A．She assisted Jones in the caring.B．Her grandmother was a Parkinson’s sufferer.C．She has appreciable eyes for kindness.D．She contributed the story to the newspaper.6．What was Jones’s response to the comments on the internet?A．He was totally surprised.B．He believed he deserved it.C．He felt his life was disturbed.D．He thought he was somewhat overpraised.7．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A．A Post Is Widely Shared on Facebook.B．Flight Attendant Takes the Senior to First Class.C．Medical Treatment Is Performed in the Air.D．Flight Attendant Gives a Hand to a Parkinson Senior.Amazing and perfectly beautiful, The Midnight Library is everything you’d expect from the genius storyteller, Matt Haig. I picked it up from our readers’ recommendations (we asked our readers to send in some of their favorite recent books) and I can see why it won Best Fiction of 2020 in the Good Reads Choice Awards.The story follows Nora Seed, a woman who is struggling and feels like nothing in her life has gone according to plan. While the initial chapters of the book are quite sad, Nora finds herself given a chance to start over in the Midnight Library, a magical place full of books of all the different paths her life could have taken. Nora is forced to stay in the library and try out different versions of her life until she finds the life she most wants to live.I loved the idea that no dream or fork in your road is insignificant, and that they all lead us to become different versions of ourselves. In one life, Nora is an Olympic swimmer. In another, she is a glaciologist living on a boat off the coast of Antarctica. The novel reveals in a beautiful way that the potential we all have within us is impossible to measure, and that we have the possibility to be happy in many different versions of life.It also discusses how dangerous it can be to live your life with regrets. The Midnight Library revealed to Nora that even if you make very different choices, you may uncover adeeper appreciation for your current home and the people in your life. It is your perspective that matters.I really loved the fantasy and magical realism in this novel, and I would love for this to be turned into a series where we get to explore The Midnight Library of other characters’ lives as well.8．What can we know about the author of the text?A．He should be an editor.B．He is the friend of Matt Haig. C．Magical realism books are his favorite.D．He shares a similar experience with Nora.9．What does The Midnight Library mainly discuss?A．A magic library.B．The harm of regret.C．The exploration of life.D．Ways to make correct choices. 10．Where can the text be found?A．In a novel.B．In a magazine.C．In a history book.D．In a biography. 11．What is the purpose of the text?A．To thank readers who introduced the book.B．To honour Matt Haig, the author of the book.C．To share the author’s opinions on the book.D．To publicize the book to people who are struggling.Think back to when you were in a maths classroom, and the teacher set a difficult problem. Which of the two following responses is closer to the way you reacted?A: Oh no, this is too hard for me. I’m not even going to seriously try and work it out.B: Ah, this is quite tricky, but I like to push myself. Even if I don’t get the answer right, maybe I’ll learn something in the attempt.Early in her career, the psychologist Carol Dweck of Stanford University gave a group of ten-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. One group reacted positively and loved the challenge. She says they had a ‘growth mindset’ and are focused on what they can achieve in the future. But another group of children felt that their intelligence was being judged and they had failed. They had a ‘fixed mindset’ and were unable to imagine improving. Some of them looked for someone who had done worse than them to boost their self-esteem.Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in education at the moment. For years,children have been praised for their intelligence or talent, but this makes them vulnerable(脆弱的) to failure. They become performance-oriented, wanting to please by getting high grades, but they are not interested in learning for its own sake. The solution, according to Dweck, is to lead them to become mastery-oriented (i.e., interested in getting better at something). She claims that the ever-lasting effort over time is the key to outstanding achievement.Psychologists have been testing these theories. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation were exposed to growth mindset techniques for a year. The results were nothing less than incredible. They came top in regional tests, beating children from much more privileged backgrounds. These children had previously felt that making an effort was a sign of stupidity, but they came to see it as the key to learning.12．What can we learn about a person if his answer is closer to “B”?A．He is performance-oriented.B．He tends to set limits to his life.C．He enjoys the process and focuses on the future.D．He boosts his self-esteem by comparing with others.13．Which of the following suggestions will Professor Dweck give to parents and teachers? A．To reward children for their high grades.B．To emphasize the importance of intelligence.C．To ignore the result brought by failure.D．To praise children for their engagement in the process.14．What does “These children” in the last paragraph refer to?A．Children showing no interest in learning.B．Children who use fixed mindset techniques.C．Children from much more privileged backgrounds.D．Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation.15．Why does the author write the text?A．To distinguish growth mindset and fixed mindset.B．To inform readers of the importance of growth mindset.C．To show several psychological study results.D．To point out a problem in education at the moment.二、七选五Whether it’s painting, or sculpting tiny cupcakes out of clay, making art is good for your mind and body. ____16____ But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to get those health benefits.
