Following a 35-year quest for answers, a physical therapist was able to connect the dots of her symptoms by asking just a handful of questions. Finally, armed with an explanation, the diagnosis of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) was more of a relief than a surprise. Since qualifying as a yoga instructor in 2008, Di Bon has seen the condition appear in various ways among her clients.Thought to be the most common of 13 known subtypes of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), the hEDS connective tissue disorder is most often associated with joint hypermobility, instability, chronic pain, and dislocations. However, those impacted can face multi-systemic symptoms and co-morbidities, such as gastrointestinal (肠胃的), and neurological disturbances, presenting a wide range of severity.Despite yielding positive results, as Di Bon’s work with hEDS clients increased, she began to notice gaps in her teaching, and set out to address them. “That’s why I started to look more into the mind, into the breath, and relaxation... and modify the exercises so that they were safe and suitable for somebody who is maybe feeling very unstable.”Having experienced her own difficulties navigating the healthcare system, Di Bon has been thinking about why so many with EDS carve out a vocation linked to the disorder. “I think it happens because we go through such a personal struggle to find information, to figure it out. For me personally, I just want to share that.” The Wimbledon native is constantly seeking a greater understanding of the body, currently studying for an MSc in Pain Management alongside her multi-hyphenate lifestyle as an author, movement therapist, app founder, and award-winning community champion. But, through her six principles of pain-free movement, Di Bon offers a sincere message of hope.“We can always change something that would make your life better. Even if it’s the tiniest thing. I work with people who are bed bound, who have had to give up work, who are house bound, and we are working together to make their lives more fulfilling, and to give them a better quality of life.”4. Why was her diagnosis of hEDS viewed as more of a relief than a surprise?A. Its cause put her in a panic.B. Its result came out in the wash.C. It was not beyond her expectation.D. It was not as serious as it seemed.5. Which of the following can best describe Di Bon from paragraph 3?A. Kind and inspiring.B. Generous and hard-working.C. Firm and productive.D. Reflective and considerate.6. What might make Di Bon become a yoga instructor?A. The desire to help others.B. The exploration for a cure.C. The passion for learning something new.D. The determination to get over challenges.7. What can we learn from Di Bon?A. More haste, less speed.B. It never rains but it pours.C. Focus on the big, start small.D. There is no royal road to learning.CMesopotamia was home to some of the very first cities in existence, leading many to link it to the birth of civilization. The origin of these cities is still unknown today, although many theories exist. One suggestion is that the development and building of temples created a place where people would gather, and thus served as points of contact between different groups of people.Others believe that people sought sanctuary from natural disasters. As the Mesopotamians were able to develop technology to help them control the nearby rivers, such as levees, they could ensure a good crop. They had no need to be nomadic, and were able to settle in one place comfortably. It is for this reason that all the early cities were built along the two major rivers.From the moment the Sumerians began to form these cities, it forever altered human history. People went from being ruled by nature, to attempting to control it and make it work for them. By 4500 BCE the first recorded city rose in the form of Uruk. However, the only urban structure at this point was the temple, which regulated all economic and social matters.The central purpose of these early cities was to help regulate trade, as southern Mesopotamia was reliable on outside resources. This need encouraged the spread of urbanization. However, communication between the cities was difficult, so each city developed into an individual city-state. This led to territorial disputes and, inevitably, war.In order to keep their cities protected, the Mesopotamians built fortifications, and walled cities rose. Migration to these cities increased, and more buildings were erected. Cities gradually expanded and rulers were proclaimed, who then began looking outwards for trade and conquest.8. What does the underlined word “sanctuary” mean?A. rescue.B. stability.C. shelter.D. accommodation.9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The function of early cities.B. The structure of early cities.C. The regulation of early cities.D. The appearance of early cities.10. What caused cities to become city-states?A. War and conflicts.B. Limited interaction.C. The spread of urbanization.D. Competition for resources.11. What is the best title?A. The birth of city-states.B. The first cities in the world.C. The urban expansion in the world.D. The conquest of nature in Mesopotamia.DManatees—often called sea cows—are an anomaly in the animal kingdom. Neither predator nor prey, these peaceable creatures, which can grow to 13 feet and weigh more than 2,000 pounds, are evolutionarily devoid of aggression. Crystal River—“Manatee Capital of the World”—is the epicenter of their presence and recovery.Yet despite some gains, manatees still face grave threats. Three-quarters of Florida’s 22 million people live along the coast, many in prime manatee habitat, where the strain of human-presence has degraded the state’s enchanted springs, waterways, and wetlands. In Indian River Lagoon, for example, an important manatee habitat along Florida’s densely populated east coast, decades of human waste, sediment from real estate development, and fertilizers from lawns and farms have clouded the water. That has killed seagrass, manatees’ main food source there. More than a thousand manatees have died in the lagoon during the past two years.What people don’t understand is the need to help support them in waterways. That means restoring seagrass beds and freshwater aquatic vegetation, the basis of their existence and of the overall health of Florida’s waters. Steps to reverse the damage started small. Neighbors gathered with rakes, scooping up algae by hand. Ironically, it was Save Crystal River—the group environmentalists had opposed during their fight over the manatee’s endangered status—that spearheaded the restoration of aquatic vegetation. With funding from the state government, Save Crystal River hired Sea& Shoreline, an aquatic restoration firm, to remove the waste and replant the river bottom with eelgrass, which grows long, ribbon like leaves.While the prospect of replanting the entire river was daunting, after vacuuming more than 300 million pounds of detritus and planting some 350,000 individual eelgrass pods by hand, the groups have flipped the river back to an ecosystem no longer dominated by algae.Instead of spending the few short winter months in Crystal River before heading back out into the Gulf of Mexico to graze, some manatees now linger here year-round, enjoying fat times. Aerial surveys from January 2022 revealed the highest number of manatees ever recorded in these waters—more than a thousand in Kings Bay alone.12. What is a feature of manatees?A. They are gentle animals.B. They feed on small creatures.C. They are slightly aggressive.D. They look cute for their shape.13. What is the main reason for manatees’ decline?A. Climate change.B. Habitat loss.C. Low food supply.D. Human activities.14. How did Save Crystal River help improve manatees’ endangered situation?A. By removing wastes from the river.B. By raising funds from the government.C. By replanting algae in the river bottom.D. By refining manatees’ living surroundings.15. What can we learn about manatees from the last paragraph?A. They enjoy the cold winter of Mexico.B. They remain in Manatee Capital for long.C. They head towards the warmer waters during winter.D. They have the largest population ever recorded globally.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。

湖北省八市联考2024届高三下学期3月联考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解With so many options for short, beautiful walks in Queenstown, you are truly spoiled for choice. Here's a list of local picks that will help you discover the best walks around Queenstown, a walkers' paradise, for every age and ability.Tiki TrailFor one of the best views of Queenstown and a decent workout, climb the Tiki Trail up to the Skyline Gondola building.

Not for the faint-hearted or inexperienced, this demanding climb is a full-day mission with a spectacular reward.Walkers aiming for the summit should be fully equipped and allow six to eight hours, depending on the conditions. Be prepared for snow and ice above the bush line from April toNovember.1．Which place is a better choice for the disabled?A. Tiki Trail.B. Arrow River Trail.C. Queenstown Gardens.D. Ben Lomond Track.2．What can visitors do in Arrow River Trail?A. Appreciate the rose fragrance.B. Experience demanding climb.C. Have a bird-eye view of Queenstown.D.

We are people, also known as humans. This makes us different from most of the things on Earth. "This fairly straightforward observation is the opening spread of Like, written by Annie Barrows. It establishes a somewhat odd yet matter-of-fact tone with a young boy addressing the reader.following spread, which carefully thinks about the ways in which people are different from one specific thing on Earth, "We are not at all like tin cans. We are not shaped like tin cans. We cannot hold tomato sauce like tin cans. If you open up our lids, nothing good happens. We are not at all like tin cans. "The target audience will no doubt be amused, as was I, and perhaps reassured.Like next matches people with the swimming pools, "We are a little bit more like a swimming pool than a tin can. We have water and chemicals and dirt inside us. But unlike a swimming pool we don't have people splashing around inside us. "Mushrooms, we learn, differ from tin cans and swimming pools by being alive, and by growing and reproducing-human traits, too! Mushrooms, however, don't have mouths and brains. But wait: Hyenas have all that. "They run around really fast, like we do... But hyenas don't say words. They don't tell stories. They don't get embarrassed, even when they're caught eating something off the ground.Where to go from there? "Look at all these people, the text exclaims over the illustration full of people of seemingly every size, shape, color, age and means of mobility. "They are not exactly like us. But they are more like us than they are different.""I am more like you than I am like most of the things on Earth, the narrator concludes. "I'm glad. I'd rather be like you than a mushroom"-an appealing and inarguable understanding.4．What does the underlined word "quizzical" mean in the second paragraph?A. Definite.B. Consistent.C. Unusual.D. Ambiguous. 5．According to the passage, which of the following is most like humans?A. Hyenas.B. Tin cans.C. Mushrooms.D. Swimming pools. 6．How is the writer's idea mainly developed in the passage?A.

A story entry.C. A philosophical textbook.D. A book review.The hens look up at me from their nesting boxes. They seem slightly annoyed but unsurprised. A child runs up, pushes one of the chickens aside, and snatches two eggs. Around me, a half-dozen more children and adults collect eggs while a half-dozen others hand-feed dried mealworms to birds flocking around our ankles. I reach for an egg from an empty nest. There is something perfect about the way it fits warmly in the palm of my hand before I transfer it into a pretty wire basket provided to me by my hosts.The egg harvest is a brief, carefully designed agritourism experience offering an experience of the labor rather than just having a bite of food. Snatching a few eggs and uprooting a few vegetables on the farm tour don't constitute a full day's work, but it is also a useful reminder that food doesn't just magically appear on restaurant plates and grocery store shelves. Of course, visitors can take those eggs home or bring them to the on-farm restaurant, Clay, where a chef will use them to prepare breakfast.A few centuries of industrialization, urbanization, and globalization have collected people into cities, but the attraction of the countryside has always remained. In the new urban-centered world, enterprising farmers have found plenty of opportunities to sell their rural lifestyle along with their crops. Italy promoted the modern model for combining agriculture and tourism in the wake of World War II, when the national government encouraged rural populations to continue producing food rather than move to urban areas in search of more profitable jobs.Agritourism acts as an umbrella term for a wide variety of activities that take place on farms, including farmstays, where guests sleep on-site. For varying investments of time, energy, and money, anyone can engage in our farming system, giving consumers a peek behind the farm-to-table world.8．Why does the author describe children and adults collecting eggs in the beginning?A. To introduce agritourism.B. To describe the use of eggs.C. To show the innocence of the children.D. To emphasize the happiness of the children and adults.9．What is accessible to consumers in agritourism activities?A. Engaging in planting vegetables in person.B. Doing some simple but meaningful farm-work.C. Enjoying some self-made egg products on the farm.D. Clarifying the farm-to-table concept through practice.10．What can you learn from the last two paragraphs?A. The appeal of rural life gradually fade away due to industrialization.B. The desire to search for more well-paid jobs accelerated the speed of agritourism.C. Italian government's calls contributed a lot to the trend of moving from villages to cities.D. Promising farmers were dedicated to promoting their lifestyle along with agricultural products.11．What is the author's attitude toward agritourism?A. Doubtful.B. Dismissive.C. Supportive.D. Sympathetic.Chinese scientists have created a breakthrough fibre that can be woven into warm, lightweight clothing using aerogel, a thermal insulation (热绝缘) material mainly used in the aerospace industry.Aerogel, notable for their performance and durability, could have various applications. As the world's lightest solid material, it has long been valued for its thermal insulation properties. Traditional aerogel, made by replacing the liquid in aerogel with air, is extraordinarily light, resembling a solid cloud of smoke. Its high porosity (多孔性) gives it exceptional heat resistance, but this also makes it fragile and challenging to process, limiting its use in civilian applications.But now, researchers at Zhejiang University have overcome aerogel's fragility and designed an encapsulated aerogel fibre ( EAF) with similar thermal insulation mechanisms-after being inspired by the structure of polar bear hair.The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation as well as Nasa have used EAF in Mars rovers, which endure extreme temperatures ranging from thousands of degrees during the Martian landing to -130 degrees Celsius -202 degrees Fahrenheit on the planet'ssurface.In an experiment, a volunteer wore textiles (纺织品) made of EAF, down, wool, and cotton in a-20 degree Celsius environment. The surface temperatures of these materials were 3.5 degrees, 3.8 degrees, 7.2 degrees, and 10. 8 degrees respectively, indicating the superior insulation of EAF. They showed the practicality of EAF by weaving a jumper and comparing its thermal insulation to common textile materials.As well as being strong and stretchable, EAF can also be washed and dyed, improving its use in practical applications. Traditional silica aerogel will absorb water and collapse on itself. As a result, it quickly loses its thermal insulation qualities in wet or humid environments. However, EAF maintains its performance even after machine washing.Professor Zhang Xuetong of the Suzhou Institute of Nano-tech and Nano-bionics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, highlighted the potential of the aerogel fibres in advanced thermal textiles. As well as its potential for civilian use, EAF fibre also holds promise for industries that are already familiar with aerogels. "EAF textiles feature excellent thermal insulation and multifunction and have great potential in areas such as military uniforms and spacesuits in extremely cold environments, "professor Zhang noted in a paper. However, he also noted the gap between existing technology and capacity for mass production. "Challenges exist regarding how to develop fast spinning technology and resolve the continuous fabrication that is necessary for mass production.12．What is the characteristic of traditional aerogel?A. It can be easily processed.B. It is resistant to high temperatures.C. It is a solid cloud of smoke.D. It can effectively insulate electricity. 13．What is EAF's advantage in enduring extreme temperature based on?A. Research statistics.B. Public comments.C. Scientific prediction.D. Commercial reports.14．Professor Zhang Xuetong's study found that mass production could be possible if？A. advancement is made in thermal textilesB. there exists need for continuous fabricationC. barriers in fast spinning technology are overcomeD. aerogel's strengths and weaknesses get balanced15．What is the text mainly about?A. The development of aerogel fibre.B. The potential use of biomimetic fibre.C. Great breakthrough in aerospace industry.D. China's newly-woven clothing made from aerogel.二、七选五16．Have you ever noticed how some people can effortlessly talk to anyone they meet, no matter how different their backgrounds are? Or have you seen that one person who always offends someone, no matter what the topic of conversation is? These two scenes show how we can differ in our abilities to interact, get along with, and relate to others around us. ①After years of academic research and development, this social competency is now commonly referred to as "social intelligence". Do you want to improve your social intelligence? Here are great ideas with which to get started.Listen well and pay attentionPractice active listening so that you can fully engage and communicate with others. ②It is natural to want to respond to that text message that pops up on your phone immediately, even when you're in the middle of a face-to-face conversation. Give people your full attention when speaking with them. ③Watch out for body language④ Even if they aren't saying so, their feelings are truly revealed. Try to tune in to what the other person is saying "physically". In the same way, be aware of your own body language and how you are presenting yourself. If you slouch and appear physically uninterested during a conversation, it may make the speakers lose confidence in what they are saying, resulting in a negative interaction.Show that you careIf you sense that someone is upset, or if someone tells you they are going through some difficulties, show them you truly care. ⑤A. Life is often fast paced, with many digital distractions.B. Often, people's gestures will tell us a great deal about how they are feeling.C. Sharing other people's feelings can help you connect at a more meaningful level.D. People like to feel heard, and it will help you develop worthwhile relationships.E. The speaker fails to deliver a clear and objective message during his presentation.F. Engaging in a meaningful conversation can reduce loneliness and help reconnect with others.G. In the same way that we vary in traditional academic competencies, we can vary in how socially competent we are.三、完形填空（15空）By the time he was 24 years old, Imran Nuri quit his job in a bold move, and emptied hisunfamiliar people.

To illustrate the application of PayQuick.Tonight, our family was going out to play under the full moon.My husband Todd and I first started going on full moon walks for ourselves, as we needed these little doses of moonlight to stay happy, though sometimes we had to hikechildren. We wanted to show Sierra and Bryce that it was not necessary to travel far from home to have an adventure and learn something new, and that there was much magic in the natural world, available to all.Once we arrived at our location, Sierra and I stood holding hands, waiting to cheer the full moon in its rising—a thin sliver of the appealing moon emerged above the ridge of the mountain afar. Soon, more of the moon came out until it turned into a brilliant orange sphere. Todd explained to Sierra and Bryce that the moon generates no light, but simply acts like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight back to us. “Does the moon’s face change?” Bryce asked. I told him that the moon rotates (旋转) around the earth, but does not spin by itself, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth. Sierra remarked that the moon looked larger and closer when it was rising. I explained that it is a visual illusion (错觉) because it is so close to the horizon that the moon magically tricks our eyes into comparing it with nearby objects, thus creating the impression of the increased size.Much of the knowledge that I shared with the kids was learned from my parents. During my childhood, they would take me on educational adventures out in the woods, and as I later found, so did their parents. So every time I go for a full moon walk with my beloved family, I thank those wise educators who came before me.To educate, sometimes all it takes is going outdoors and gazing up at the heavens. 4．What does the und erlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Going on a hike through the forest.B. Taking a walk under the full moon.C. Watching magic shows every month.D. Traveling far from home for adventure.5．What can we learn from their family outing?A. The kids were reluctant to participate.B. Todd mentioned the mirror to explain sunlight.C. The kids exhibited a spirit of exploration about the moon.D. The author used a magic trick to explain the larger moon.6．Which of the following best describes the parents?A. Creative and faithful.B. Selfless and brave.C. Inspiring and generous.D. Insightful and patient.7．What does the story convey to the readers?A. Life is what you make it.B. Every cloud has a silver lining.C. Nature is the best teacher.D. God helps those who help themselves.As humanity has got richer, animal’s roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal combustion engine (内燃机) made horses unneeded; modern sanitation (卫生设备) kept rats in check and made cats less useful. Domestic animals are no longer necessities, but commonly seen companions. Pet-keeping seems to become more and more popular, as a recent survey found that 69% of American households keep at least one pet.The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more money on them. No longer are they food-waste-recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters’ tables. Pet food shelv es are full of cuisines tailored to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic, or suffer from sensitive digestion.In the business, this is called “pet humanization” — the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family. This is obvious in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Rex, and Spot to Bella, Lucy, and Max.People still hold the false assumption that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps making people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. New research suggests that dogs have evolved those “cute eyes” to affect human emotions and control them, which works very well. Humans now work very hard to pay for the care of theirpets. For example, Americans often refer to themselves not as cat owners but as the cat’s “mommy” or “daddy”. South Koreans go one step further, describing themselves as cat “butlers (管家)”. Watch an unlucky man walking his dog, plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess, and we have to doubt: who’s in charge now? Is this relationship what we really want? 8．What can we learn about the animal-keeping trend?A. People’s needs for animal services are increasing.B. The price for purchasing a domestic pet is on the rise.C. Pet foods are less various and customized than before.D.

The Pros and Cons of Keeping PetsHibernation (冬眠) is a classic topic of science fiction. In movies such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, or Passengers, crew members are put into a state of sleep to take year-long journeys to space. Now a new study from Washington University has shown that human hibernation may soon become a reality.The research team carried out tests on rats —animals that do not naturally hibernate. They first identified a group of neurons (神经元) in a deep brain region, which were found to be involved in controlling body temperature during hibernation. They showed that, in mice, these neurons could be stimulated using ultrasound (超声波), which was delivered through a helmet without causing an injury.When receiving the ultrasound, the mice showed a drop in body temperature of about3°C, and their heart rates fell by about 47%. When the ultrasound system was switched off, they woke up again. The result was “surprising and fascinating”, said Hong Chen, a professor wholed the work.humans. They believe that it could be key to addressing health conditions like heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. Furthermore, hibernation’s ability to slow aging, which was observed in bats, could benefit space exploration, enabling longer missions with less food requirements. Research in animals also suggests that bodies of hibernating astronauts might lose less bone and muscle, making them fit and ready to start challenging exploration soon after they wake up.By unlocking the secrets of this remarkable process, researchers may uncover ways to improve human health, as well as gain new insights into the natural world. Therefore, the exploration of hibernation is an exciting area that is sure to yield numerous benefits in the years to come.The scientists now plan to look at how lowered body temperature might affect the cognitive abilities of humans. “Our next experiments will test working memory in monkeys. This is important because while astronauts physically hibernate as they fly into deep space, their brain still needs to be working,” said Chen.12．How did researchers put rats into hibernation?A. By lowering their body temperature.B. By activating specific brain neurons.C. By putting a regular helmet on them.D. By using ultrasound through an operation.13．What does the underlined word “harness” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Employ.B. Challenge.C. Overlook.D. Discover.14．What advantage might hibernation bring to humans?A. It improves people’s mental health.B. It predicts a variety of heart diseases.C. It helps astronauts keep physically fit.D. It enables astronauts to build up muscle.15．What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To point out the significance of the study.B. To bring out the focus of follow-up studies.C. To discuss other factors affecting hibernation.D. To explain practical applications of the finding.二、七选五16．Make a difference at schoolBesides being a great place to learn, school offers a great opportunity to make friends, try new things, and give back to others.

AFAQs on preparing your ApplicationQ：Should I target my Application to a specific Job Opening（JO）？A：Yes.Naturally，a customized cover note will also help you focus on the key aspects of your Application that relate to the JO，but it is also in your interest to target the Application according to the responsibilities and competencies of the position.Q：What's the difference between duties and achievements？A：Duties describe the specific responsibilities of your job.They accurately reflect what you are doing or have done in each of your previous jobs.In other words，it is the "what you do" of your job.Achievements describe in specific terms "how well" you did in your job.Q：Many of my achievements are team﹣based，how do I draft them in my Application？A：You should include your team﹣based achievements in your Application.Indicate that you were part of a team，and describe your specific role in reaching the goal.FAQs on general Application guidelinesQ：Can I save my Application？A：Yes.You should save your Application when you make changes and/or update it.It is recommended that you save different versions of your Application in Word format and then edit the Application online according to the post for which you are applying.Q：Can I update my Application to apply for a new JO？A：Yes.Each time you apply for a new JO，we recommend that you review your Application and update it，if appropriate，or target it to better reflect your suitability for the new JO.Your updates will not affect the content of Applications previously submitted against other JOs.Q：Must I use up all the available characters in each section of my Application？A：No.In fact，doing so may result in an unnecessary lengthy Application.Unless you have an enormous range of experiences，there is no reason to use up all the space given.Applicants are encouraged to list their duties and achievements in a clear and brief manner.21.Which of the following descriptions best shows your achievements？A.I succeeded in directing a video presentation，assisting our group to win the first prize.B.I'm good at creating proposals for new product ideas aimed at a specific market.C.I'm in charge of the clearance，production and distribution of information material.D.I've developed various interests，ranging from oil painting to designing model.22.Unless you are eager to apply for erstwhile JO，you'd better .A.target your focus on your interest in the JOB.save your latest application in Word formatC.prepare one application with all your competenciesD.update your application to match new requirements23.Applicants are expected to in their applications.A.introduce what JOs they have previously applied toB.list the greatest achievements they have made in detailC.give key information about their experiences and achievementsD.provide the results of their tests，assessments and examinationsBNew York’s UndersideA dangerous jobSince I was a boy, I have always looked down open manholes with curiosity, so I welcomed the opportunity to explore and write about the world beneath New York City. With a group of 11 "sandhogs" —— the nickname for the workers who build New York's underground—— boarded a slow, shaky elevator lit by a single light bulb. Slowly we went down a shaft du g through 200 meters of rock. The sandhogs were building a new tunnel to bring water into the city, The present tunnel system carries more than 5.6 billion liters of water every day. That's enough water to fill more than2,200 Olympic-sized swimming pools.As we descended, it got dark and the air got cool. I looked up into darkness and down into deeper blackness, then the elevator stopped, and everyone got out. Then came the hard part, climbing another 10 meters down a long, slippery metal ladder. At the bottom was a dark tunnel filled with dust and smoke. Sandhogs were using explosives like dynamite to cut through the solid rock. The tunnel extends slowly- -only four meters a day- -and with each day come new dangers. Sandhogs live in constant fear of being hurt by sharp pieces of exploded rock. Their bodies are covered in such scars."Why do this work?" I asked Brian Gallagher, a sandhog for 16 years. Brian's father was a sandhog, too, but it is not tradition that brought him here. "It's the money," he said. An experienced sandhog earns over $100,000 a year. The rewards are well deserved. A sandhog's chances of dying on the job are far greater than those of an above- ground construction wo rker, or even a New York City police officer.“Everything down here can kill you," one sandhog said. They know many more workers will die before the tunnel is completed.A river of sewageOn another trip below the city, sewer worker Jeff Kwami showed me how the city's sewage is kept flowing smoothly. We went down a manhole wearing plastic bodysuits, gloves, and tanks of air. Everything around us was wet and slippery, as we climbed carefully down 12 meters and then stopped on a narrow concrete step. In front of me was a fast-moving river of sewage nearly two meters wide. It smelled awful. I asked Kwami, "What happens if you fall in and you're not attached to a rope?" He said if you didn't pull yourself out, you'd drown in the sewage. But unlike the dangers sandhogs face, such situations are rare. As we move through the sewer, Kwami seems calm and confident, but it's still a terrifying thought.Later, as we left the darkness and danger below, Kwami joked, "See any alligators?" Over the years, there have been stories about giant alligators living in the sewers. I tell Kwami that in 1935, the New York Times reported an alligator was pulled from a sewer. He still didn't believe it, and we laugh together as we climb back to the surface.24.The writer of the passage is .A.considering getting a job as a tunnel workerB.taking tourists into New York City’s tunnelsC.interested in what lies beneath New York CityD.reporting on the benefits of working underground.25.What danger that underground workers face is NOT mentioned?A.slippingB.being cut by rockC.drowningD.elevators falling26.Sewer workers probably carry tanks of air because .A.the smell of the sewage is badB.the tunnel is filled with smokeC.they have to dive into the sewageD.they need to clean the air in the sewer27.What would be the best heading for the last paragraph?A.Recent Alligator SightingB.The 80-Year-Old AlligatorC.How to Survive SewageD.Just a Story?CHARDCORE TANO*C is an independent Japanese music label that is known for releasing music compilations and albums focused on various forms of hardcore techno such as UK hardcore,happy hardcore,and gabber. The label was founded in 2003 by Yoshikazu Nagai（who at the time used the Akai Hito alias）,originally under the name of Hardcore Tanoshii,but changed to its current name of HARDCORE TANO*C in 2007 after the release of the album HARDCORE SYNDROME. The label features a store which sells the most notable doujin（同人）music releases,and is well known for their frequent live events that are regularly organized throughout the years,including the annual TANO*C TOUR series of events and the S2TBTANO*C events done in collaboration with kors k’s S2TB Recording label.From 2011 to 2018,HARDCORE TANO*C were very closely linked with BEMANI,most notably in beatmania IIDX and SOUND VOLTEX. Many of HARDCORE TANO*C’s members were frequent contributors to BEMANI,and KONAMI even collaborated with the label for a few of their own album releases. Their presence also expanded to various other music game titles.Many guest artists have appeared in HARDCORE TANO*C compilations, including Ryu☆,kors k,DJ Shimamura,m1dy,M-Project,JAKAZiD（as Joshka）,Hommarju,Camellia,lapix,C-Show,Maozon,Nhato, Dustvoxx,and Akira Complex.By the end of 2017,HARDCORE TANO*C has started to produce major artist album releases,containing licensed works done for music games by the circle’s artists. From September 2018,a sub-label directed by DJ Myosuke named HARDCORE TANO*C HARD has been established, which focuses on harsher music. HARDCORE TANO*C is also heavily involved in the 2019 rhythm game WACCA,which is published by MARVELOUS！,with nearly its entire staff contributing to the game.A song composed by various members of HARDCORE TANO*C,BATTLE NO.1,was planned to be in SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN for the The 8th KONAMI Arcade Championship,under the artist name of TANO*C SOUND TEAM. KONAMI rejected the song（likely due to their poking fun（打趣）of the BEMANI Sound Team moniker, which was at its most extreme in the time of that event）,and it later appeared instead in the HARDCORE TANO*C-produced game WACCA on August 1st,2019. It also appeared in lowiro’s Arcaea as part of the Arcaea× HARDCORE TANO*C Collaboration（联动）and SEGA’s maimai でらっくすSplash. It was added to Muse Dash on February 5,2021.28．What’s the main idea of the first paragraph？A．Some basic information about HARDCORE TANO*C.B．The founder and members of HARDCORE TANO*C.C．The relationship between Yoshikazu Nagai and HARDCORE TANO*C.D．The relationship between BEMANI and HARDCORE TANO*C.29．Among the following members, who has NOT shown up in this music label ‘s compilations？A．Camellia.

As a player of Arcaea,what should you do？A．Try playing WACCA if possible.B．Spread bad comments about HARDCORE TANO*C.C．Only cheer for the game or the artist you like.D．Ask the official staff about the song selection petulantly.DMost managers can identify the major trends of the day. But in the course of conducting research in a number of industries and working directly with companies, we have discovered that managers often fail to recognize the less obvious but profound ways these trends are influencing consumers aspirations, attitudes, and behaviors. This is especially true of trends that managers view as peripheral to their core markets Experts from Harvard Business School give some advice to managersOne strategy, known as infuse and augment, is to design a product or service that keeps most of the attributes and functions of existing products in the category but adds others that address the needs and desires unleashed by a major trend. A case in point is the Poppy range of handbags, which the firm Coach created in response to the economic downturn of 2008. The Coach brand had been a symbol of wealth and luxury for nearly 70 years, and the most obvious reaction to the downturn would have been to lower prices, However that would have risked cheapening the brand's image.Instead, they initiated consumer-research project which revealed that customers were eager to lift themselves and the country out of tough times. Using these insights, Coach launched the lower-priced Poppy handbags, which were in bright colors.and looked more youthful and playful than conventional Coach products. Creating the sub-brand allowed Coach to avoid an across-the-board price cut. In contrast to the many companies that responded to the recession by cutting prices, Coach saw the new consumer mindset as an opportunity for innovation and renewal.A more radical strategy is 'combine and transcend'. This involves combining aspects of the product's existingvalue proposition with attributes addressing changes arising from a trend. To create a novel experience - one that may land the company in an entirely new market space. At first glance, spending resources to incorporate elements of a seemingly irrelevant trend into one's core offerings sounds like it's hardly worthwhile. But consider Nike's move to integrate the digital revolution into its reputation for high-performance athletic footwear. In 2006,they teamed up with technology company Apple to launch Nike+, a digital sports kit comprising a sensor that attaches to the running shoe and a wireless receiver that connects to the user's iPad.By combining Nike's original value proposition for amateur athletes with one for digital consumers, the Nike+ sports kit and web interface moved the company from a focus on athletic apparel to a new plane of engagement with its customer.Once you have gained perspective on how trend-related changes in consumer opinions and behaviors impact on your category, you can determine which of our innovation strategies to pursue. Trends -- technological, economic, environmental, social, or political -- that affect how people perceive the world around them and shape what they expect from products and services present firms with unique opportunities for growth.32.The underlined word “peripheral”in Para graph 1 is closest in meaning to_____.A.marginalB.importantC.subjectD.relevant33.According to the second paragraph, Coach was anxious to_____.A.follow what some of its competitors were doing.B.maintain its prices throughout its range.C. safeguard its reputation as a manufacturer of luxury goods.D modify the entire look of its brand to suit the economic climate.34.What does the writer suggest about Nike's strategy?A.It was an extremely risky strategy at the time.B, it was a strategy that only a major company could afford to follow.C. It was the type of strategy that would not have been possible in the past.D It was the kind of strategy that might appear to have few obvious benefits.35.The best title for the passage is probably_____.A.Knowing more about your customers.B.Making the most of trendsC.Eyes on strategiesD.Following the advice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。

Savannah is my twin sister and my life would be completely different without her. Everyone always thinks it’s amazing to have a twin and it is but it’s also not. People always beautify having a twin. They say it’s natural to be good friends, which is true, but nobody ever talks about the negative side of it.People also say things like “Who’s the smarter twin?”As twins, we are constantly getting compared. In the second grade, she got admitted to a class for advanced students. In 6th grade she was put into advanced math. I finally got put into advanced math for 8th grade but it still wasn’t enough because by then she was in a class that was two years ahead and mine was just one. So people called me the dumb twin.I played soccer from the ages 5-9. I quit when I was 9 because people decided Savannah was better and I didn’t want to hear it anymore. She still plays. We also played softball together when we were 10-11. I quit that too mainly for the same reason.One day when I was in 7th grade, Savannah, our friends and I were at top golf for one of their birthdays. We were almost done playing. My friend Allison said, “Savannah，how does it feel to be losing to the unathletic twin?” Allison didn’t play any sports either，but since she wasn’t a twin, she wasn’t getting compared to anyone.I could write a million stories about who’s the prettier twin? Who’s the uglier twin? Who’s the funnier twin? It never really ends. Even though we get compared, I still love Savannah and she has made such a huge impact on my life.As I’ve gotten older, it has less of an effect on me when people compare us. I have realized that there is always going to be someone out there comparing us and there is nothingI can do about it. I am growing into my own person.4、What is rarely discussed about twins according to the text?A. The bad side.B. The appearance.C. The difference.D.

Negative.China has built in Kunming City, Yunnan Province, the Germplasm (种质) Bank of Wild Species, a comprehensive national database for the collection and preservation of wildlife germplasm resources. As of the end of 2020, the bank preserved 85,046 copies of 10,601 wild plant seeds for protecting wildlife germplasm resources. Preserving dried and frozen seeds, the bank provides technological support for the protection and research, makes use of China’s wildlife germplasm resources, and plays a major part in international biodiversity conservation.The importance of science and technology for biodiversity conservation is increasingly obvious. When remote sensor monitoring was not available, agricultural technicians had no choice but to go for field studies, which could barely meet the need for large-scale, fast and nondestructive (非破坏性的) monitoring of crop conditions and timely prevention and control of diseases and pests. Nowadays, remote sensor monitoring has been applied in agricultural production in China, allowing agricultural technicians to analyze the movements of insect pests and evaluate plant diseases and insect pests by monitoring remotely the vegetation growth, coverage, surface temperature, humidity and other indicators.In the Internet era, information technology has made the processing of massive data possible and created wider and more convenient platforms for biodiversity conservation in China, including Chinese Virtual Herbarium, Plant Photo Bank of China, and National Animal Collection Resource Center. The emergence of databases and digital programs in recent years is driving China to turn around its seriously threatened biodiversity.From the collection and storage of information to the management and analysis of resources，the constantly improving biodiversity information network has realized the exploration and use of massive biodiversity data, providing a solid foundation for China’s biodiversity conservation and research. Biodiversity conservation and science and technologyconservation can humankind guard the Earth and build a beautiful world of harmony among all beings on the planet.8、What can we learn about the bank from paragraph 1?A. Its crisis.B. Its administration.C. Its role.D. Its staff.9、What do researchers hardly need to do with the help of remote sensor monitoring?A. Evaluate plant diseases and insect pests.B. Go to fields to control the plant diseases.C. Analyze the tracks of the pests of plants.D. Satisfy the need to monitor crop conditions.10、What does the underlined word “inextricable” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Linked.B. Competitive.C. Inadequate.D. Inessential.11、Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Germplasm Bank of Wild Species Develops FastB. Technologies Promote Chinese Biodiversity ProtectionC. China Has Made Great Efforts to Process Massive DataD. Information Technology Contributes Much to Many FieldsIf you live in San Diego, you’ve probably noticed some strangely coloured water on the beach lately. You might wonder about red tide, but it’s actually an intentional job. Scientists at UC San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography and University of Washington have been experimenting with dyeing (给……染色) the ocean at San Diego beach pink. What could they possibly be up to?This is being done for a study that examines how fresh water on the outlet of the sea is intermixing with the ocean. The experiment is called Plumes in Nearshore Conditions (PiNC). “I’m excited because this research hasn’t been done before and it’s a really unique experiment,” said Sarah Giddings, a Scripps coastal oceanographer leading the PiNC study. “The aim is to understand how fresh water interacts with ocean waves，since it is usually warmer than ocean water and more floating. The researchers are hoping that this pink dye experiment will help them record more about how pollutants and sediments (沉积物) are distributed in the ocean water through these additions of fresh water.The fresh water is dyed pink so that the team can easily keep track of it when fresh water is added to the sea water. The dye does not threaten the wildlife living there and is then spotted as it progresses in the water. It is tracked by sensors on poles that are located alongthe sand as well as by drones(无人驾驶飞机). There’s also a device that tracks the light that is given off by the pink dye. The sensors record the height of the waves, ocean currents and temperature.Giddings explained, “We’ve bringing together a lot of different people with different expertise. I think it’s going to have some really great results and impacts. We will combine the results from this experiment with a former field study and computer models to help us further understand how the dyed fresh water spreads.12、How does the author lead in the topic of the text?A. By showing a strange phenomenon.B. By making an assumption.C. By quoting a well-known saying.D. By making a comparison.13、What is the purpose of Plumes in Nearshore Conditions?A. To introduce the benefits of dyeing sea water pink.B. To show how fresh water combines with sea water.C. To prove that fresh water is warmer than sea water.D. To examine the impact of fresh water on sea water.14、Why is pink dye used by the team?A. It can enormously give off light.B. It can function well with sensors.C. It can be recognized easily and eco-friendly.D. It seems to attract wildlife and spread rapidly.15、What will the researchers do according to Giddings’ words in the last paragraph?A. Challenge the results with some experts.B. Build more scientific computer models.C. Experiment with dyes of another colour.D. Integrate more results of former studies.二、七选五16、When it comes to earning wealth, some people admire wealth to an extreme level, overlooking spiritual values.

This is the case for many white-collar jobs, and these stressful conditions can lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.Another factor that contributes to depression in the workplace is the lack of meaningful, human connections. While many white-collar workers spend time interacting with colleagues at work, theseinteractions are often limited to professional matters. Workers with few close relationships outside of work may feel isolated and alone outside of professional settings.However, there are some things that can help address depression in the workplace. Encouraging meaningful social relations among employees and creating an environment that supports good mental health can be helpful.30. What does the passage say is a main cause of depression among white-collar workers?A. Lack of human connectionsB. Lack of exerciseC. A slow work paceD. High levels of stress31. According to the passage, white-collar workers interact with colleagues mainly on ______.A. personal mattersB. mental health concernsC. professional mattersD. isolated projects32. The word "isolated" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______.A. protectedB. lonelyC. employedD. mentalBOn Monday 25th October, 2023, a new law is set to take effect. The “Phone Off” law requires all drivers to turn off their phones while driving. The law has been passed in response to the increasing number of accidents caused by distracted drivers.Under the new law, drivers caught using their phones while driving will be fined up to $500 for each violation. Repeat offenders, or drivers who cause severe accidents due to distracted driving, may also lose their driving privileges.The law has been met with mixed reactions. Some people think it’s a good idea, while others say it’s unnecessary government interference.“I don’t think people should be texting while driving,” said one driver. “But sometimes you need to take a call or check your GPS, and I don’t think that should be illegal.”Others, however, support the law. “I lost my husband to a distracted driver,” said one woman. “No phone call or text message is worth someone’s life.”Despite the mixed reactions, it seems that the law will take effect as planned. Police departments across the country are preparing to enforce the new regulations, and some cities have already started campaigns to educate drivers about the dangers of distracted driving.33. The “Phone Off” law will take effect on ______.A. Monday 25th October, 2022B. Monday 25th October, 2023C. Monday 25th October, 2024D. A different weekday in October 202334.

山东省2024-2025学年高三上学期新高考联合质量测评9月联考英语试题一、阅读理解You may love staying home and having a quiet day in on Christmas — and we totally get that. But there’s a strong case for travelling during Christmas, if only once or a few times, too. In the following cities around the world, Christmastime is a wintery and magical experience like no other.New YorkAt the head of our list is New York, the iconic setting for so many Christmas movies. Go skating in Rockefeller Center in front of the big tree(or if line s are too long, check out Central Park’s Wollman Rink for fantastic skyline views), and visit the Christmas shops at Bryant Park Winter Village.Tallinn, EstoniaFor an up- and-coming travel destination with one of the best preserved medieval towns in the world, head to this Baltic capital across the sea from Finland. It also just so happens to be gorgeous at Christmas time, with an authentic Christmas market, Christmas festival, concerts, and Christmas tree — thought to be the oldest public display of a Christmas tree in the world.Quebec CityWith its cobbled street s and stone buildings in the shadow of the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac, which looks like a castle but is actually a hotel, visitors feel like they’ re in a holiday fairytale. Plus, its northern destination makes a white Christmas nearly a guarantee. Cap it off (if you dare) with the toboggan (雪橇) slide right in the centre of town, thrilling riders since 1884 with speeds of over 64 kilometres per hour.Bruges, BelgiumThis pedestrian- friendly city is breathtaking to walk around at Christmas time — or take a boat ride along the shining canals. The medie val buildings look like cookie houses. The city’s holiday events include a midwinter festival, winter market, carolling and music, and an ice sculpture exhibit.1．Which city is the best destination for a Christmas film director?A．Tallinn.B．Bruges.C．Quebec City.D．New York. 2．What is a probable concern of visitors trying sledding in the town?A．The cobbled street.B．The high speed.C．The freezing weather.D．The fairytale castle.3．What is special about Bruges during Christmas?A．A boat trip is accessible.B．The Christmas cookies sell best.C．An old Christmas tree is displayed.D．The medieval town is suitable to walk.Like almost every set of new parents, Bryan and Elizabeth Shaw started snapping pictures of their son, Noah, practically from the moment he was born.When he was about three months old, Elizabeth noticed something odd when she took his picture. The flash on their digital camera created the typical red dot in the center of Noah’s left eye, but the right eye had a white spot at the center, almost as if the flash was being reflected back at the camera by something. When Elizabeth mentioned the strange phenomenon to their doctor, she shined a light into Noah’s eye, saw the same white reflection, and immediately sent the family to an ophthalmologist (眼科医生).A white reflection instead of a red one is a telltale sign of retinal cancer, and that is exactly what Noah had. He endured months of chemotherapy and radiation, but doctors ultimately could not save his eye. Retinoblastoma, the scientific name of Noah’s tumor, is treatable if caught early. Bryan Shaw couldn’t help but wonder whether there were signs he’d missed. He went back over every baby picture of Noah he could find — thousands of them and discovered the first white spot in a photo taken when Noah was 12 days old. As time went on, it appeared more frequently.“By the time he was four months old, it was showing up in 25 percent of the pictures taken of him per month,” Bryan, a chemistry professor at Baylor University in Texas, told People. It was too late for Noah’s eye, but Bryan was determined to put his hard-won insights to good use.He created a database that charted the cancer’s appearance in every photo. He also collected photos and compiled the data from eight other children with retinoblastoma. Armed with that data, he began to work with colleagues in Baylor’s computer science department to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and canbe used as a kind of ophthalmoscope (检眼镜).Called White Eye Detector, it is now available for free on Google Play and in Apple’s App Store. “I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this,” Bryan told People. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only could this software save vision, but it can save lives.”4．Why did Elizabeth turn to the doctor?A．Because Noah had strange behaviour.B．Because Noah’s eyes were hurt by camera flash.C．Because Noah was to be checked regularly.D．Because Noah’s eyes had different spots in the photo.5．Why did Noah’s eyes fail to be cured?A．Because Noah’s eyes were infected frequently.B．Because doctors were inexpert in the rare disease.C．Because signs of Noah’s problem were found late.D．Because Noah couldn’t stand the pain during treatment.6．How does the smartphone app save lives?A．By checking photos for eye disease.B．By shooting pictures for comparison.C．By recording data of eye development.D．By examining the eyesight of the users. 7．Which of the following words can describe Bryan?A．Humorous and kind.B．Honest and humble.C．Determined and caring.D．Courageous and intelligent.If you’ re a sports fan, you may be familiar with the emotional rollercoaster that comes with sports audience. Whether you’ re part of a buzzing crowd in a stadium, or just watching at home on TV, it’s easy to get caught up in the highs and the lows when you celebrate or commiserate with your favourite team or athlete.Those feelings are so strong, in fact, that a study from Croatia, published in PubMed, showed that the emotional stress during a football match increased the risk of a cardiovascular (心血管的) incident.But can watching sports be good for you too? The evidence suggests that people who watch live sporting events experience greater wellbeing than those who don’t. A study published inFrontiers in Public Health by the Anglia Ruskin University in the UK, found sports spectators felt less lonely and had higher scores for life satisfaction. Lead author Helen Keys said in a press release, “Watching live sport of all types provides many opportunities for social interaction and this helps to forge group identity and belonging.” She says this then reduces loneliness and boosts wellbeing. But, if for any reason you aren’t keen on going to live events, don’t worry! Watching sports on TV or on the Internet may also have great benefits, according to a study by Tsuji and colleagues.They found that older adults who watched sports were less likely to have depressive symptoms than those who didn’t. On top of that, the sports watchers tended to have richer social networks than non-watchers. The authors suggest that the social networks you gain through watching sports may lower the risk of depressive symptoms. So, the cheers at a live sports event or even casual chit-chat with friends about your favourite team can bring a friendship and may reduce loneliness and depression.It seems the health benefits of sports are not limited to physical activity through participation in them, but that we can make gains in our general wellbeing through social bonding. 8．What does the underlined word “commiserate” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Agree.B．Struggle.C．Sympathize.D．Correspond. 9．What does the study published in Frontiers in Public Health focus on?A．Benefits of doing sports.B．Loneliness in sports men’s life.C．Positive effects of watching sports.D．Players’ satisfaction with their performance. 10．Why does the author mention the older adult sports watchers?A．To demonstrate watching sports can improve physical health.B．To praise older people’s high spirit while watching sports.C．To advocate the senior taking sports instead of watching.D．To show sports watching reduces risk of mental diseases.11．Which of the following is the structure of the text?A．B．C．D．Switching food and drink purchases to very similar but more environmentally friendly alternatives could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from household groceries by more than a quarter (26%), according to a new Australian study from The George Institute published in Nature Food. Making bigger changes— like swapping a frozen meat lasagne (宽面条) for the vegetarian option— could push the reduction to as much as 71%.Lead author Dr Allison Gaines said, “Dietary habits need to change significantly if we are to meet global emissions targets, particularly in high- income countries like Australia, the UK, and the US.” But while consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the food system, they lack reliable information to identify the more environmentally friendly options.Researchers calculated the projected emissions of annual grocery purchases from 7,000 Australian households in The George Institute’s FoodSwitch database and global environmental impact datasets. More than 22,000 products were assigned to major, minor and sub- categories of foods(e. g. ‘bread and bakery’, ‘bread’ and ‘white bread’, respectively) to quantify emissions saved by switching both within and between groups. Making switches within the same sub-categories of foods could lead to emission reductions of 26% in Australia, equivalent to taking over 1.9 million cars off the road. Switches within minor categories of foods could lead to even bigger emission reductions of 71%.The results of the study show the potential to significantly reduce our environmental impact by switching like- for- like products. “It showed that you can switch to lower emissions products while still enjoying nutritious foods,” Dr Gaines added.A free app, called ecoSwitch, has been developed currently available in Australia, based on this research. Shoppers can use their device to scan a product barcode and check its ‘Planetary Health Rating’, a measure of its emissions shown as a score between half a star(high emissions) to five stars (low emissions).“While ecoSwitch is a much- needed first step in providing environmental transparency (透明度) for grocery shoppers, the vision is for compulsive display of a single, standardisedsustainability rating system on all supermarket products,” concluded prof Neal, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at Imperial College London.12．What does the author want to show by listing numbers in paragraph 1?A．The impact of food industry.B．The need of changing daily diet.C．The status of environmental problems.D．The influencing factors of gas emissions. 13．Why do researchers make a detailed classification for products?A．To set up a comprehensive database.B．To figure out the detailed food categories.C．To identify emissions reduced by switching food.D．To ensure less air pollution caused by food options.14．What do we know about ecoSwitch?A．It is popular in high- income countries.B．It checks the emissions of star products.C．It is a measurement system for a supermarket.D．It ensures wiser choices for foodpurchase.15．What does the text mainly talk about?A．EcoSwitch makes customers aware of food risk.B．Food swaps contribute to environmental sustainability.C．Environmental problems account for less food nutrition.D．Greenhouse gas emissions have an effect on food safety.The psychological weight of regret can be a heavy burden, impacting mental wellbeing and influencing future decision-making. 16 We will discover how, with the right mind-set, we can embrace regrets as stepping stones to a richer and more fulfilling life.17 But its contradiction lies in its potential to be a powerful force for positive change. Individuals who embrace, rather than hold back, their regrets are more likely to engage in adaptive behaviours and self-improvement.The very existence of regret is a sign of our capacity for self-reflection and growth. 18 In other words, it can help recognise that this complex emotion can be an activator for personal transformation.Coping with regret requires a mix of emotional recovery, self-sympathy and proactivedecision-making. 19 Instead of focusing on what went wrong and blaming ourselves, consider what valuable insights and strengths we have gained from the experience.In the grand tapestry (织锦) of life, regrets need not be seen as spots but as bright threads contributing to the richness of our personal accounts. Embracing regrets involves acknowledging their presence and understanding their differences. 20 As we manage the complicated psychology of regret, let us remember that it is not the absence of regret that defines a life well lived, but the ability to learn, adapt and evolve in the face of it.So, let us not fear our regrets, but rather, welcome them as companions on the path to a more authentic and fulfilling existence.A．Regret is often associated with negative emotions.B．Reorganizing narrative about regrets can improve the capacity.C．Reflecting regularly is crucial in the journey to embrace regrets.D．Treat ourselves with the same kindness we would offer to a friend.E．Additionally, it contains transforming them into activator for growth.F．Regret serves as a marker of our evolving understanding of ourselves.G．But what if we could view it not as a source of pain but a guide to growth?二、完形填空One summer night in a seaside cottage, a small boy felt himself lifted from bed.

She often beats her rivals by tens of seconds, breaking records. Her success is based on three things. One is natural talent. Another is relentless training. And the third is biology. Although she identifies as a woman, Ms Thomas was born male.On the eve of her biggest competition, Ms Thomas finds herself at the centre of the bad-tempered debate about whether trans women—males who identify as women-should compete in women's sports. That, in turn, is part of a broader argument: should biological facts sometimes override people's deeply held feelings about their identities? This newspaper believes it is almost always unfair to allow transgender women to compete in women's sports. The advantages bestowed by male puberty (青春期) are so big that no amount of training or talent can enable female athletes to overcome them.Florence Griffith Joyner's 100-metres world sprinting record has stood for three decades.A male matching it would not even make it to the Olympics, let alone the final. Much of the male advantage is granted by testosterone (睾酮, 睾丸素) , a powerful anabolic steroid (合成类胆固醇) whose levels rise sharply in male puberty. For many years many sporting bodies, following the lead of the International Olympic Committee, hoped to cope with the issue by allowing trans-women to compete in women's events provided they took testosterone-testosterone in adults, it seems, does little to undo the advantages granted by a male adolescence.Sports must therefore choose between inclusion and fairness；and they should choose fair play. That does not mean that trans-women would be barred from all sport. One way to make that clear would be to replace the "men's" and "women's" categories with "open" and "female" ones. The first would be open to all comers. The second would be restricted on the basis of biology.Sport is public, and results can be measured objectively. That means the argument that the material facts of biology should sometimes outrank a person's subjective sense of identityis easier to make. But it applies in other areas, too.8．What is the text talking about?A.Men has many advantages over women.B.Fairness should be guaranteed in sport.C.Whether transwomen-males should be allowed to compete in women sports.D.How to dismiss the unfairness between transwomen-males and women.9．What does the underlined word suppressing in para.3 mean?A.dampenB.balanceC.increaseD.encourage10．Which one is not true according to the text?A.A man who doesn't make it to the Olympic may set a record in women sport.B.Transgenders should not be allowed in sports.C.Fairness matters more than inclusion in the sport.D.Many advantages of males are due to testosterone.11．What will be talked about in the continuous part?A.How to deal with the unfairness between transgenders and females.B.Other factors that cause trans women-males' performances to override women's.C.Other fields that is suitable for the argument that the material facts of biology should sometimes outrank a person's subjective sense of identity.D.Other authorities' attitude to the fairness in sport.Chinese scientists have built a chamber to simulate (模仿) the conditions on the surface of the moon to help make preparations for future lunar exploration.The specially designed vacuum chamber is equipped with an electron gun to negatively charge dust, deuterium lights to produce ultraviolet (紫外的) rays to generate low-voltage positive electrical charge, and a vibrating screen (振动筛) designed to simulate flying dust. Scientists at the vacuum chamber have made similar dust particles (颗粒) with similar features to those on the moon. These elements together produce a chamber which can test materials and items in simulated lunar conditions.The facility was developed by the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) , based in the city of Harbin in Heilongjiang province in northeast China. "The comprehensive lunar surface simulator, which can simulate many environments which are very close to the real state on the moon, helps us understand the lunar dust formation process in such an environment and its effects on spacecraft, spacesuits and astronauts and prepare us for acrewed moon landing in the future" said Li Liyi, dean (院长) of the HIT's Institute of Space Environment and Material Science. "At the experiment chamber, we can simulate six major kinds of environmental factors. It is an experiment facility that can simulate the most environmental factors and has the comprehensive performance most similar to the real space environment in the world, "Li added.A leading Chinese lunar scientist said that China is working to land astronauts on the moon before 2030.The country is actively working on the hardware needed for the mission, including a new launch vehicle, a new generation spacecraft for crew and a lunar lander.A representative from the China Aerospace Scienceand Technology Corporation, the country's main space contractor, presented an animated film earlier this year giving an impression of what the future Chinese crewed lunar landing might look like.12．Why do Chinese scientists design a vacuum chamber to simulate the conditions on the surface of the moon?A.It can test ultraviolet rays on the moon.B.The low-voltage electrical charge can be beneficialC.It can help prepare the country for future lunar exploration.D.It is close to the real environment on the moon13．What can we infer from what Li Liyi said in the passage?A.Lunar dust is a big challenge for crewed moon landingB.The new facility can simulate all environments on the moonC.The facility can generate the real space environment in the worldD.The chamber can make the future lunar exploration successful14．What is the author's purpose to write this passage?A.To indicate the difficulties of crewed moon landingB.To introduce China's newly-built vacuum chamberC.To describe the real environment on the moonD.To introduce China's crewed moon landing project15．which application of the lunar surface simulator is not mentioned below?A.understand its impacts on spacecraftB.prepare us for a crewed moon landingC.help us have a better understanding of the dust formation processD.help us to design flying dust二、七选五16．As technology continues to advance, the way we work will continue to develop.

河南省五市2024届高三下学期第一次联考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Jonathan Drori's interest in plants dates back to his years when growing up in southwest London. They lived within walking distance of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, home to one of the most diverse collections of plants in the world. His parents would take him and his brother frequently to the gardens, exploring the grounds and discovering new plant species from around the world."My father was trained in botany but worked as an engineer, while my mother was interested in the beauty of plants," he says, "She would carry a magnifying glass in her purse, and we'd go to Kew every week to look at the individual plants."Now Drori is a botany expert. He's built a career as an educator, focusing on the environment and technology, and is also a productive author. His new book explains the historical and cultural significance of different plant species. Using a map as his guide, he selected about eighty plants from around the world, and each has an interesting backstory, that focuses on the cultural significance and botanical structure of each species.For example, amaranth (苋菜) from Peru has almost been forgotten, since it's often over- shadowed by more readily available whole grains like oats and rye. However, it has gained popularity in recent years thanks to being highly nutritious and a good source of beneficial acids. In fact, before the Spanish Conquest in 1519, amaranth was a major foodstuff of the Inca and Aztec empires. The Aztecs used its seeds for ceremonial purposes, mixing amaranth flour into figures representing important deities within their culture, such as Tlaloc, the god of rain.1．Where did Jonathan Drori's interest in botany mainly come from?A. His collectionB. His teachersC. His booksD. His childhood 2．Which of the following is the most possible title for Jonathan Drori's new book?A. Around the World in 80 PlantsB. How Plants Relate to CivilizationC. How Plants Tell Stories of HistoryD. A Brief History of Research on Plants 3．What leads to amaranth becoming more and more popular recently?A. Its historical valueB. Its ceremonial valueC. Its healthy valueD. Its cultural valueEarly in my time in China, I. asked a coworker, if she noticed anything Americans dothat is strange. "You're always fighting, even with your best friend, "she said. She had never, seen me fight with my friend, so I was surprised, until I realized she was referring to a philosophical debate. Though passionate, my friend and I would hardly have considered it a fight. According to him, many Chinese wouldn't tell their friend to" shut your mouth when you speak to me" or tell them, "your logic is so dumb-you don't have object permanence", which is opposed to social harmony.Words are metaphors, serving to comprehend abstract ideas or beliefs. Each language possesses an inner logic, influencing how its speakers structure sentences and understand words. This uniqueness extends beyond mere vocabulary; it spreads to the system of expression, shaping thoughts and ideas. Regardless-of how skilled one becomes at communicating, or how many dictionaries they've read, they cannot guarantee that the listener, understands them correctly.Each language barrier exists within speakers of the same language. In 2013, I worked with a British man who had lived in China for a-decade and spoke Chinese fluently. It took him about 10 years to fully understand the culture. Either I, 'm silly, or he was kidding me.I can confidently say that after all' this time, I'm even more confused, than I was then. The concepts and ideas I. learn about Chinese culture expand endlessly, and I suspect that will always be true. If I'm lucky, I'll have another 30 years of life, less time than more intelligent men than I have spent studying culture.Perhaps I'm not meant to understand China. There is acceptance and peace in that. With my foreign friends, I will joke and even tease them and with my Chinese friends, I will ask questions to avoid giving the impression I. am fighting with them. I will embrace cross-cultural confusion and persist in understanding my Chinese friends, family, coworkers and neighbors, because that knowledge bears gifts of wisdom and joy. My life is better for it. 4．What impression does the author leave on his Chinese friend?A. He specializes in debating.B. He is kind of rude to friends.C. He argues with others much.D. He is passionate about philosophy.5．What does the author stress about the language in Paragraph 2?A. Its inner logicB. Its significant complexityC. Its abstract originD. Its changing structure6．What makes the author more puzzled when living longer in China?A. Profound Chinese cultureB. His British friend's, experienceC. Little time spent with familyD. Different understanding of humor7．Which is the author's plan for future life?A. He will take China as it is.B. He will return to his motherland.C. He will be more serious in China.D. He will persist in academic study.In recent years, the popular idea of reducing carbon footprints by eating locally to cut down food miles has come under close examination. However, a recent study published in Nature Food indicates that global food miles might account for as much as 20 percent of food-related emissions, a significantly higher percentage than previous estimations. This statement begs the question: Are food miles more significant than we initially believed?Food miles represent the distance food travels from production to consumption, with previous studies suggesting that the emissions from these miles are tiny compared to the emissions produced during the food growing process. For instance, producing one kilogram of beef generates almost 99 kg of CO2, while apples only produce 0.4 kg per kilogram. If the goal is to minimize dietary carbon footprints, it would be more beneficial to choose foods with lower overall carbon footprints, even if they have to travel a distance. Therefore, reducing meat and dairy intake could prove to be a more effective strategy.The recent study doesn’t contradict (相矛盾) this conclusion. The reason why the reported proportion is higher is that the calculation includes all transport involved, including the transportation of fertilizers, farm equipment, and pesticides (杀虫剂). Hannah Ritchie, a researcher at the University of Oxford, suggests that a term other than "food miles" would be more appropriate to avoid any confusion. If the study had followed the standard definition of food miles, the per- centage would drop to 9 percent, which corresponds more closely with the 4 to 6 percent found in prior research.Moreover, the study theorizes that even if all food was produced in the countries where it is consumed, the reduction in emissions would only be 1. 7 percent. overall. This is due to the fact that a larger proportion of food would be transported by road rather than by sea, with trucks producing higher emissions per ton of cargo than ships."So, overall, the bottom line is still that what you eat has a much bigger impact on emissions than the distance that food has to travel to reach you, said Ritchie.8．What has the recent study found?A. Food production has caused a lot of carbon emissions.B. Carbon emissions from food miles are increasing rapidly.C. Carbon emission reduction largely depends on eating locally.D. Global food miles lead to more carbon emissions than expected.9．Why does the author mention "beef" and "apples" in paragraph. 2?A. To explain the benefits of applesB. To highlight food production's effectC. To compare beef and apple productionD. To advocate short-distance transportation10．Which of the following is the best solution to food-related carbon footprints?A. Supplying. high-calory foodsB. Upgrading food delivery systemsC. Reducing meat and dairy consumptionD. Avoiding chemical pesticides for plants11．What is the Ritchie's attitude toward the recent study finding?A. UnfavourableB. SupportiveC. TolerantD. UncertainTraditionally, many decisions about medical treatment were left up to doctors: They decided, and patients agreed. Today, health care professionals are embracing the idea of shared decision-making, where patients become informed partners in their choices. Health care professionals now focus on placing the patient at the center of care, informing them about their options, and engaging them in treatment decisions. For example, they engage patients by asking, "What's important to you? And what are your priorities and goals as we, talk about a treatment plan?""I think there's a strong recognition in American medicine, of the importance of patient engagement not only, in their care, but in deciding what types of care and types of procedures they're going to get," said Dr. Allen, a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora.A 2017 study, published in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes found that people with heart disease who went through-shared decision-making had better physical and mental health, better obedience to medication and lower rates of staying in hospital and emergency department use. Patients also reported better communication with their doctors. When people are more engaged in decision-making, they understand the pros and cons of various treatment options, and they're more likely to stick to the treatment plan and to continue that communication.But research on how to best approach different, cultural groups is lacking. Many doctors cite limited time as a barrier, although research shows that shared decision-making can be accomplished even within short clinic visits. Also, current models of payment for doctors'visits do not always agree with the goals of shared decision-making. But underlying all that is that medical decisions can be "incredibly complicated"Making the practice work on a wider scale is an evolving process. But in the long run, Allen said: "shared decision-making can ensure that with all the amazing new technologies and treatments that we will have in medicine, they really can be applied to more patients in a tailored, meaningful way that meets their own values, goals and preferences."12．What role do doctors play in shared decision-making?A.

You force yourself out of bed and drag your feet toward the bathroom, where you glimpse a pale-faced stranger in the mirror. ① After a moment, however, you think, "Wait, it's okay because today is New Year's Day; there's time to get back in shape!"For many people, the start of a new year signals the end of a period of overindulgence (放纵) in diet. ② . They often revolve around turning oneself into a fit and healthy human being. However, the fact is that approximately 80% of them are abandoned before February. How does that happen? ③ . While we may have good intentions when making resolutions, we are not actually making enough determination to live in a more controlled way. Changeinvolves a degree of stress, and someone not mentally equipped to handle that stress will struggle to change.So, what can you do to achieve your healthy goals in the new year? One idea is to think small rather than the opposite. ④ But in reality change is likely easier in smaller steps, which allows for greater success. Another helpful strategy is to design a personal reward system. Finally, set concrete goals. Instead of making a vague resolution like "I'm going to get in better shape this year, make a specific one. For example, "I'm going to run for 30 minutes every day" would be far more powerful.

Change takes time and effortB. Instinctively, you step back in horrorC. It's probably related to self-disciplineD. Many people's plans involve grand measuresE.
