The discovery adds to existing evidence that the ancient Mars had the right conditions to possibly support some form of life.Today, any water on Mars is believed to be in the form of ice because of the planet’s extremely cold desert temperatures. But there is a rich amount of evidence suggesting that rivers, lakes and even oceans once existed on Mars. A study by the American space agency NASA suggested that about 4.3 billion years ago, Mars likely had an ocean that covered nearly half of Mars’ northern hemisphere(半球). Another NASA-supported study guessed that about 3 billion years ago, the climate in much of the planet’s northern hemisphere was very similar to today’s Earth. The study noted that at that time, Mars likely had a much thicker atmosphere than today and had an active northern ocean.Two American researchers recently released a set of maps to provide new environmental evidence of a large ancient ocean on Mars’ low-lying northern hemisphere. The team collected data from satellite images and photos of Mars. They then combined them to create maps of the planet’s northern hemisphere. Using the maps, the researchers were able to piece together evidence of shorelines that sat at the edge of a huge body of water about 3.5 billion years ago.The researchers published their findings in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. Benjamin Cardenas, an assistant professor at The Penn State University, was a co- writer of the study. He said the study’s findings showed the possible ocean in that area of Mars was changeable and interesting. “It was dynamic ( 动态的) . The sea level rose significantly, ” he said. “Rocks were being deposited (沉积) along its basins at a fast rate.There was a lot of change happening here. ”Besides, Cardenas suggested the new study also provided useful information on Mars’ ancient climate and developmental history. “Based on these findings, we know there had to have been a period when it was warm enough and the atmosphere was thick enough to support this much liquid water at one time, ” he said.4．How does the author develop paragraph 2?A．By drawing comparisons. B．By giving examples.C．By listing figures. D．By asking questions.5．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the researchers?A．How they found the evidence. B．Where they created maps.C．Why they studied satellites. D．When they landed on Mars.6．What did the new study find about Mars?A．It must have been always warm.B．It might have had an active ocean.C．The climate and sea level were unchangeable.D．The atmosphere was too thin to support water.7．Which section of a magazine is the text most probably taken from?A．Science. B．Photography. C．Literature. D．Farming.CAs a mother and a professional working full time, I spent all of my 30s saying yes. Saying yes to things I wanted to do, but a lot of the time saying yes to things I disliked. This was a people-pleasing technique that would affect people’s opinion of me: t he woman who could do it all, so that I can obtain a nice fame in their mind.Little did I know that I was also developing an autoimmune(自身免疫的) disease, which I have to believe was my body’s way of telling me to slow down. I had severely swollen joints an d brain fog butI pushed through so that I could look in the mirror at the end of the day and feel “accomplished”. The only things I was accomplishing were bad health and bed habits.And then a series of events changed everything: serious medical issues and losing my job. It took all that to help me see how intensely burnt out I was. I spent a lot of time thinking about where I had to be next instead of being present in the moment. But now, I wake up each day knowing that everything on my schedule has been purposefully agreed to.Looking back, I had the capability to suffer the pressure to say yes. I also felt it necessary to say yes, from driving people to the airport to seeing family every Friday night. I always wanted to solve everyone’s problems and offered sound and immediate solutions. It was one big “yes” to everything.I was everyone’s cheerleader, but forgot how to cheer for myself along the way. But saying no is being my own cheerleader. And it’s not saying no to caring for family and friends. Instead, it’s a minor change in mindset, taking a pause before automatically agreeing. I take a breath, do a quick count ofmy energy and ability before jumping in.8．Why did the author say yes to things she disliked?A．To please her boss. B．To prove her profession.C．To push herself to the limit. D．To earn herself a good reputation.9．How did the author deal with the changes in her body?A．She got rid of bad habits. B．She thought little of them.C．She slowed down her life pace. D．She paid more attention to her health.10．Which word can best describe the author?A．Purposeful. B．Stubborn. C．Reflective. D．Encouraging.11．What will the author do before saying yes?A．Find a cheerleader. B．Evaluate her situation.C．Breathe in some fresh air. D．Seek help from her friends.DLynda Doughty, a marine biologist, developed a passion for marine wildlife during her childhood. Growing up along the coast of Maine, she witnessed the impact of human activity on marine mammals and she made it her life’s work to protect them. “I feel this intense responsibility to help these animals,” Lynda said. “And, really, this is what I was put on this Earth to do.”Harbor seals are among the most common mammals found along the East Coast, and they face various threats to their well-being, including fishing net s and illegal feeding, chemical pollutants, as well as boat and propeller (螺旋桨) injuries.Earlier in her career, she worked for a marine mammal emergency response organization that eventually closed due to lack of funding. To fill the gap left by the group, Lynda started her ownnon-profit organization — Marine Mammals of Maine in 2011. It has since provided response and medical care for more than 3,000 marine mammals.Lynda’s team operates a 24-hour hotline that responds to calls regarding marine mammals in danger. Their permit allows them to respond to mammals stranded (搁浅) within 2,500 miles of the coastline, and her team only offers help if the mammal is in critical condition. Critically ill mammals are transported to Lynda’s center and nur sed back to health. Seals typically require three or more months of professional care treatment before they are released back into the ocean.In addition to mammal rescues, Marine Mammals of Maine conducts important research to learn about marine mammal habitats and human impacts. Marine mammals can give us clues about the ocean’s health, which ultimately affects human well-being as well. The organization also helpspromote marine conservation among youth and the local community. In addition, they instruct the public on what to do, and what not to do, when encountering wild species like harbor seals. 12．What do Lynda’s words mean?A．She was born along the coast of Maine.B．She ignored the impact of human activity.C．She did her work with a sense of mission.D．She protected marine wildlife at a young age.13．Why did Lynda set up Marine Mammals of Maine in 2011?A．To earn more money.B．To replace the group.C．To make the group a non-profit organization.D．To restart marine mammal emergency response.14．What can we learn about Lynda’s team from paragraph 4?A．It only treats critically ill seals.B．It rescues marine mammals in danger.C．It protects all endangered marine mammals.D．It stops people from fishing marine mammals.15．What’s the purpose of paragraph 5?A．To state younger generations need to be instructed.B．To stress the severe situations that marine life faces.C．To mention other social contributions of Lynda’s team.D．To show humans have a great impact on marine mammals.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，有两项为多余选项How to Survive a Lightning Strike?According to the National Weather Service, almost two-thirds of lightning accidents occur as people enjoy leisure activities outdoors. _16 _.

江苏省南京市六校联合体2024-2025学年高三上学期8月学期调研测试英语试题一、阅读理解Brecon Beacons YAC has an amazing opportunity for budding (崭露头角的)archaeologists (考古学家) of all ages, in Sunderland in Tyne and Wear. Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong will be investigating an archaeological mystery and they need your help.Romans?“The site is a bit of a mystery”, Frank Giecco from Wardell Armstrong said. “There is a very nice cropmark recorded on the site that has got lots of people very excited. Geophysicists (地质物理学家) failed to find anything related to the cropmark. There is anecdotal (趣闻的)evidence of Roman material being found, but nothing is officially recorded. We hope to finally answer the question of what is in this field, during the two weeks on site. Is there evidence of any Roman occupation on the site? Can you help us find out?Get involvedThis is an opportunity for both adults and children to take part in field walking and trial trenching (small hand-dug test pits for children). No experience is necessary, training will be provided by the professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong, and all equipment will be provided. Volunteers can attend for as few or as many days as they wish, but they do need to book a place. For more information, and to book your place, please contact Norman Kirtlan at ***********************************.1．What’s the main purpose of the activity?A．To seek funding for archaeological research.B．To find volunteers to help solve an archaeological mystery.C．To appeal for help in proving findings based on anecdotal evidence.D．To organize volunteers to help sort out data on the Roman occupation.2．Which of the following statement might be true if you take part in the activity?A．You will be coached by experts in the field.B．You should have worked with archaeologists before.C．You should spare two weeks to stay at the site.D．You will be charged for using equipment.3．Who is the activity probably intended for?A．Romans.B．Experts.C．Officials.D．FamiliesKiska, the last captive (圈养的) killer whale in Canada ---also known as “the loneliest whale in the world” ----has died, according to local media.The whale, believed to be 47 years old, died on March 9, 2023. Ontario’s Solicitor General Ministry spokesperson Brent Ross confirmed to CBC．Kiska, who spent over four decades in captivity, lived at Marineland, a zoo and amusement park in Niagara Falls, after being captured in Icelandic waters in 1979 alongside Keiko, the star of the movie Free Willy. Marineland said that Kiska’s health had declined in recent weeks.The news comes four years after the country officially banned whales and dolphins from being bred or held in captivity. However, marine mammals like Kiska that were already held in captivity would remain so, according to the new law. Kiska’s death marks the end of captive whales in Canada.People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said Kiska “spent her final years isolated in a tank, swimming in endless circles or sometimes floating listlessly.”Kiska’s life of continued isolation led the Whale Sanctuary Project to describe her as “the loneliest whale in the world.”Both animal rights groups reported that Kiska died of a bacterial infection. Ross told CBC that animal welfare officials had conducted a necropsy (尸检) of the mammal.Kiska underwent several hardships while living at the amusement park, according to PETA．These included the deaths of all five of her children and the departure of her sole tankmate Ikaika in 2011. Videos of Kiska slamming her head against her tank wall multiple times begancirculating on social media in 2021.Kiska was one of the last survivors of the Icelandic captures back in the 1970s. She lived the last 12 years of her life completely along, no other whales or in fact any other species were there to keep her company.“It is heartbreaking to know that Kiska will never have the chance to be relocated to a whale reserve and experience the freedom that she so deeply deserved.” Camille Labchuk, executive director of Animal justice, told CBC．There are at least 55 killer whales being held in captivity in marine parks around the world, according to the Whale and Dolphin Conservation. Killer whales are known to be very social mammals and are not suitable for captivity. Chronic stress can weaken the immune system and physiology of captive killer whales, leading to illness and even death.4．Which of the following statement is true about Kiska?A．She died as the last captive killer whale in the world.B．She was captured in the ocean more than 40 years ago.C．She was a star in a film called Free Willy.D．She should have been set free according to a new law passed in 2019.5．Why Kiska was referred to as “the loneliest whale in the world”?A．Because Kiska’s death marks the end of captive whales in Canada.B．Because Kiska was kept alone after a bacterial infection.C．Because Kiska lived the last 12 years of her life without company.D．Because all five of Kiska’s children died ahead of her.6．What does the underlined word listlessly probably means in the text?A．Without enthusiasm.B．Without destination.C．Without breath.D．Without effort.7．What is the best title of the text?A．It’s time we stop catching killer whalesB．The death of a killer whale leads to a new law in CanadaC．Kiska, the last survivor of the Icelandic captures, has diedD．Kiska, “the loneliest whale in the world”, dies in CanadaNow a company is launching a new robot on personal service machines. Rather than keeping you company at home, GITA (pronounced Jee-Tah) helps you go hands-free while you walk down the street, to the grocery store or to visit your neighbors. Like the name, which means “outing” in Italian, the robotic servant is for short trips out and about.Designed by the Piaggio Group, the smart device uses five cameras to see you, follow you around and carry up to 40 pounds of your belongings for four hours. It’s similar to those robotic suitcases that trail behind you at the airport, but with an entirely different outside. Picture a large container but on wheels. That’s what GITA looks like in the flagship orange color. Imagine having a hi-tech that can follow you around with your shopping inside. It’s round and strong yet relatively smart and convenient. The robotic helper is a joy to engage with, sort of like a dog.Operating GITA is simple. You just press one button to turn it on, one button for the cameras to scan your legs, and you’re off. It actually does pretty good job of following you and recognizing when you change directions. Its movement is oddly natural. When you speed up it falls behind a bit before trying to catch up, and when you stop, it stops — usually. GITA operates best on hard surfaces. However, it can’t go upstairs. It can roll on slight inclines (斜坡) and keep up with a walking person at speeds up to 6 miles per hour.A system of sounds and lights will let you know whether it is unpaired or needs a charge. And an app lets you share your robot with your “crew”, so it can follow them, too. With a speaker, your GITA can carry candy and play theme music as you take the kids trick-or-treating.A USA TODAY tech reporter gave GITA a test run in 2019. He said, “GITA certainly made quite an impression on passers-by as it rolled down New York’s busy Madison Avenue.” Yet having tech trail behind you takes some getting used to. You can’t help but look behind you to make sure it’s keeping up, somewhat like monitoring a pet.8．For what purpose is the new robot designed?A．To instruct you where to go.B．To serve you as you walk around.C．To accompany you at home.D．To protect you when you’re traveling. 9．What does the new robot probably look like?A．It looks like a royal dog.B．It has flags and smart panels.C．It is round, orange and can roll of itself.D．It resembles cameras in appearance. 10．Which of the following is true about GITA?A．It can roll up a sharp slope at a high speed.B．It can only recognize and follow its owner.C．It can adjust its pace automatically.D．It can play tricks for children.11．What can we learn about GITA from the last paragraph?A．People are heavily dependent on it.B．It is far from being put into use.C．It is easy to get lost and needs to be improved.D．Users have difficulty accustoming themselves to it at first.Salad plants have already been grown in old shelters and tunnels. Urban farming is a regular topic of interest at places like the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, where leaders consider whether the world’s food system, blamed for causing both obesity and malnutrition, can be fixed. There are already plenty of urban farming projects around the world, particularly in the US, Japan and the Netherlands, from urban fish and plant farms to vertical farming.“It’s becoming an expanding industry,” said Richard Ballard, one of the founders of the farm Growing Underground. “There are several other businesses starting up in London in containers, and there are other vertical farms around the country now.”Growing Underground is not a standard farm. The rows of crops could be in almost any tunnel, but these plants are 100 feet below Clapham High Street and show that urban agriculture is, in some cases at least, not a fad. The underground farm has occupied a part of the Second World War air-raid shelters for nearly five years, and Ballard is planning to expand into the rest of the space later this year.Growing Underground supplies herb and salad mixes to grocery shops, supermarkets and restaurants. Being in London creates an advantage, Ballard says, as they can harvest and deliver in an hour.He adds other advantages. Being underground means temperatures never go below 15 ----surface greenhouses need to be heated. They can do more harvests: 60 crops a year, compared with about seven in a traditional farm. Electricity to power the lights is a major cost, but the company believes renewable energy will become cheaper.Similar British companies include the Jones Food Company in Lincolnshire, while in the US AeroFarms has several projects in New Jersey, and Edenworks in Brooklyn.12．What can we learn about urban farming?A．Different farming methods are used.B．Local governments pay efforts to develop it.C．It leads to a healthier lifestyle.D．It is rarely discussed at the WEF.13．Which of the following best explains “a fad” underlined in Paragraph 3?A．A plan that has great potential.B．A tradition that appeals to a lot of people.C．An approach that can solve a serious problem.D．A fashion that’s popular for a short time.14．Which of the following is true about the underground farm?A．Its major products are herbs and salads.B．It produces more kinds of foods than a traditional farm.C．It is more productive than a traditional farm.D．It uses less energy than a greenhouse.15．What is the theme of the text?A．Traditional farming will be replaced soon.B．Growing Underground attracts more people.C．Current food system causes health problems.D．Urban farming is still thought costly and time-consuming.While technology addicts teens to their devices, they are not helpless against the draw of it. Here are five ways educators can support their students’ digital well-being.Explore design tricks companies use. The technology we use daily is designed to catch and hold our attention. Companies know what keeps our eyes on the screen. To help, teachers can unpack design tricks and explain how companies employ features like auto-play to get users to stay on their apps. 16Talk about how technology can increase feelings of anxiety. The decline in youth mentalhealth is associated with an increase in social media use. 17 We can help our students by allowing them to consider the benefits of technology and then to think about changing the habits that aren’t serving their well-being.18 Social media can bring the feeling: “All my friends have better lives than me.” Plus, design features like “read receipts” can lead to teens knowing their messages have been seen and stressing about why friends haven’t yet replied. These are classic examples of thinking traps. Identifying them can help teens get rid of some negative thoughts.Uncover the ways that AI can play a role in misinformation. AI is rapidly transforming the world. Recommendation algorithms (算法), which determine what we do and do not see on our feeds and in our search results, can have very real consequences. 19 By understanding how these technologies work, students can start to enjoy more benefits of technology.Encourage families to have meaningful conversations with their child. Take the time to share with families the topics and resources you’re teaching in class. 20 Knowing we’re all in the same boat is crucial.A．Social media is ruining our life.B．Connect them with their inner world.C．Build their awareness of thinking traps.D．This by no means indicates all technology is bad.E．They can pull us toward increasingly extreme views.F．It turns out adults and kids all pursue digital well-being.G．Knowing these can motivate students to get back their attention.二、完形填空Several months ago, a tornado fiercely hit our city without any signs before. We had not 21 for it in advance, so we were just forced to go into our 22 actions. I happened not to be in the classroom when it attacked. Hearing the alarm screaming, I rushed 23 as fast as I could back to the classroom.Never did I imagine that we would put our regular 24 to use. Never did I imagine that my students had 25 against the wall and crouched (蹲) down on their knees. Theireyes were obviously filled with 26 as they asked if their parents, pets, and friends would be okay. I, along with other teachers, tried our best to 27 them, though we actually didn’t know what the 28 would be.I couldn’t 29 the tornado anymore. However, I’m very proud of my students who performed so well. In such a(an) 30 and dangerous situation, they behaved beyond their ages. Never in my life had I seen them 31 instructions so quickly, without any hesitation. Though some tears were dropping and some hearts were beating fast, the kids were incredibly 32 . I am extremely proud that they struggled to calm down because of theirs 33 in me.Because of the tornado, I realized that my job as a teacher meant a lot. Behind every well-behaved students are a long line of teachers who have made it their life’s 34 to educate them with safety, courage, calmness and trust. Though the tornado has presented 35 , I’m sure we can handle them one by one.21．A．waited B．anticipated C．considered D．prepared 22．A．agency B．emergency C．urgency D．efficiency 23．A．quickly B．finally C．secretly D．immediately 24．A．games B．trainings C．activities D．savings 25．A．mixed up B．messed up C．lined up D．risen up 26．A．anger B．fear C．curiosity D．shock 27．A．encounter B．praise C．satisfy D．comfort 28．A．problem B．result C．case D．status 29．A．hate B．expect C．meet D．approach 30．A．simple B．ideal C．scary D．strange 31．A．follow B．provide C．repeat D．guide 32．A．confident B．honest C．brave D．fortunate 33．A．trust B．pride C．interest D．expectation 34．A．reward B．power C．wisdom D．goal 35．A．chances B．challenges C．adventures D．discussions三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

For centuries, the “Big Four” diamonds, red stones, green stones and blue stones—ruled the gem (珠宝) world. When tanzanite first appeared in 1967, it became a hit. Unlike those other stones, which are mined all over the world, tanzanite can be found in only one place on Earth: in the remote Merelani Hills in the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa.Gem of the century meets deal of the century. With its remarkable rarity and unique gemstone qualities, it’s no wonder that experts have called it “the gemstone of the 20th century”. In recent years, top-quality tanzanite gems have fetch ed higher prices at auction (拍卖会) than the Big Four! But because we buy direct and use our own designers, we are able to offer you this rare beauty for ONL Y $59!What makes tanzanite so ir resistible to gem experts? Part of its appeal is the beautiful violet blu e color. Tanzanite is also trichroic—which means that three different colors are visible when the stone is viewed from different angles.A gemstone found in only one place on earth means supply is extremely limited. Get your hands on the Karatu Tanzanite Ring before they’re gone!Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. Experience the rare beauty of the Karatu Tanzanite Ring for two months. If you’re not completely impressed, simply send it back within 60 days for a complete return of the sale price. We want you to feel like you got the deal of the century!21. What is tanzanite?A. A ring brand.B. A kind of stone.C. A place in Africa.D. A deal of the century.22. What is special about tanzanite?A. Its bright color.B. Its high price.C. Its long-standing reputation.D.

She prepared herself for her best smile in3,2, 1!Finally! A picture she can work with. Everyone else in school had a social media account and nobody knows how hard she tried to eve ntually get mom’s permi ssion. She had been sitting up her account for days, and the picture of herself was the final touch.She had worked cautiously creating her profile. Her hometown was boring, so she filled in a more exciting one several towns over. Her job was nonexistent since she was only 14, but she filled in “Accountant”. Why not? Seemed like a cool job. And she was getting good at making a perfect account here, so “accountant” was fitting.She wrote her first post. Then deleted it. She wanted to avoid sounding like she just started an account. She thought of something brilliant.“Hey new account here, had to. You know, locked out of my other one. Add me here!”Now people would think she had to start this one because an old one got hacked (非法入侵)，and they just didn’t know she had none before. Then the “friend spread” would happen. The website would start suggesting her page to friends of friends until she grew her list to a respectable size.It was starting already! Friend requests on her list. A comment! “Gorgeous (漂亮的) girl!” It was from Amy, in her science class. Reilly felt gorgeous.At school, Reilly looked around wondering who saw her new profile.“Hey. Saw your new account,” Nora, her best friend, said from somewhere behind her.“How does it look?” Reilly asked.“It looks pretty cool. But, I almost didn’t know it was you, Reilly,” Nora smiled. “And just in case you forget, you are good enough as you are.”24. What was Reilly busy doing these days?A. Looking for a cool jotB.

Reilly should pursue the best version of herself.C. Reilly shouldn't be too proud of what she's done.D. Reilly shouldn't forget to show the good side of her.CA new network of dedicated antennas (天线) in Africa will lend insight into the damage that storms of charged particles (粒子) from the sun make on satellite and radio communications. Zambia set up its first such sensor in March —one of eight multifrequency receivers being stationed around Africa, in addition to four already operating in South Africa. Kenya and Nigeria will set up their receivers by the end of the year.The Space Weather network that extends over Africa will provide real-time data on how solar storms distort (扭曲) the ionosphere, the charged outer layer of Earth's atmosphere. This distortion can have dangerous consequences, says Mpho Tshisaphungo, a space weather researcher at the South African National Space Agency (SANSA). Signals between crucial satellites and the ground pass through this region, where charged particles can cause interference (干扰). Also, high-frequency radio signals (often used in defense and emergency services communications) have to bounce off the ionosphere; Tshisaphungo notes that when solar storms change the layer, “the radio signal may eithe r be weakened, delayed or absorbed by the iono sphere.”“While there are data available from international space weather programs, if you want to look at what’s happening on the African continent, then you need to take measurements in Africa,” says John Habarulema, a space scientist at SANSA. Habarulema’s team developed a model last year that maps electron density (电子密度) in the ionosphere and fills in measurement gaps. The new local receivers will boost this model's accuracy and let it describe fluctuations (波动) over the full continent. “We need to have the global perspective and put that data into our global models,” says Terry Onsager, a U.S. physicist. “But at the same time, space weather disturbances can vary enormously from location to location.” And it is becoming increasingly important to model the ionosphere’s behavior, he says, because “we’re getting more and more reliant on techmologies that are reliant on space weather.”28. What is the function of the newly-set antennas in Africa?A. To prevent possible distortion of the ionosphere.B. To analyse the weather changing records of the region.C. To improve internet connectivity in African rural areas.D. To monitor solar storms’ effects on radio communications.29. Which of the following is a “dangerous consequence” according to paragraph 2?A. Satellites may be destroyed.B. Crucial signals may be blocked.C. Bad weather may strike the earth.D. Charged particles may be weakened.30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The development of global weather models.B. The factors of accurate space measurement.C. The importance of collecting global climate data.D. The necessity of building multi frequency receivers in Africa.31. What is the best title for the text?A. The sun takes people on earth by stormB. Joint efforts in need to deal with solar stormsC. New space weather network extends over AfricaD. Africa on board to protect radio communicationsDHow could anyone dislike giving and receiving gifts? A good gift can be totally life changing. Gifts are so meaningful that some people identify “receiving gifts” as their primary“love language”.Indeed, on the surface, gift-giving occasions seem like wonderful opportunities to experience and create delight. But according to a 2023 survey, gift-giving and receiving is actually the least popular love language overall.The problem is that occasions that involve gift giving are full of uncertainty. If it’s an occasion like Christmas, where people are shopping for each other at the same time, people might still be nervous about whether the gift they give will be in the same category as the gift they will also receive. For instance, you don’t want to give someone a gag (恶作剧) gift when they're giving you a sincere, heartfelt gift. Mismatched approaches to gift-giving are a common recipe for awkwardness.There can also be enormous uncertainty around how your gift will be experienced by the receiver. Imagine that a close friend is showing some signs of seasonal affective disorder, and you’re giving him a therapy (疔法) lamp as a gift. True, he may very well be appreciative, indicating that this is “just what he needed.” But what if he interprets the gift as an unwelcome piece of commentary on his affective state? One could imagine a reaction along the lines of “Gosh, I’m sorry I’ve been so unpleasant to be around,” The message we send is not necessarily the same as the message received.Worst of all, there’s the anxiety that comes with receiving gifts. If you are like me, you may have found yourself in a setting where you expect a lot of well-meaning but disappointing gifts are headed your way. There can be some fear that comes with knowing that you'll soon need to perform joy and appreciation. Even worse, you might worry that the gift-giver will detect your in sincerity, wounding them in the process.It's not all bad, of course. When done carefully, gift-giving can be a wonderful way to draw people closer together, in a lasting way.32. Gift giving is full of uncertainty because ______.A. people prepare insincere gifts for othersB. the gifts they give are of the same categoryC. people shop for gifts for different occasionsD. mismatched gift- giving frequently happens33. An example of the therapy lamp is used to illustrate ______.A. trust can be earned through gift-givingB. misunderstanding can arise from gift-givingC. harmony can be achieved through gift-givingD. depression can be a byproduct of gift-giving34. What makes a gift-receiver most anxious?A. Expressing disappointment over the gifts.B. Having pretended delight at the gifts uncovered.C. Expecting well-intentioned gifts from friends.D. Fearing to extend appreciation for the gifts.35. What is the author’s at titude towards gift giving?A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Objective.D. Unclear.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。

2024届江苏省南京市高三下学期考前综合训练题（一）英语试题一、阅读理解The Shanghai Museum has announced its 2024 exhibition list, and “Top of the Pyramids, Ancient Egyptian Civilization Exhibition” will be the most anticipated.Running from July 19 to August 17, 2025, the one-year exhibition features the world’s largest and Asia’s highest level of ancient Egyptian cultural relics (文物) seen outside the country of Egypt. More than 95 percent of the Egyptian relics in this show are coming to Asia for the first time. It is also China’s first cooperation with the Egyptian government.Occupying three exhibition halls on the first floor at the Shanghai Museum, the exhibition will display nearly 500 groups of 800 ancient Egyptian relics.To be in concert with this exhibition, “Disappearing Pharaoh Khufu”, an immersive (沉浸的) exhibition, will be held at the same time on the second floor at the museum. Through the top virtual reality technology, visitors are able to travel back to the mysterious Egyptian civilization 4,500 years ago through a 45-minute digital experience.Besides this exhibition, the Shanghai Museum will also arrange a group of overseas exhibitions to spread traditional Chinese culture and art to more people. Among them, “China’s Han Dynasty cultural relics exhibition” will be on display in Hungary from January to June, showing the artistic and cultural achievements during the Han Dynasty. “The World of Marco Polo” will be shown from April to September in Italy and “The Beauty of Chinese Ceramics” in Japan from October to March, 2025.1．What’s special about the Egyptian cultural relics show?A．It displays relics hardly shown in Asia before.B．It features a VR experience in 3 exhibition halls.C．It marks Egypt’s first overseas exhibition of relics.D．It witnesses the long-term China-Egypt cooperation.2．Which exhibition will be shown in Italy?A．Disappearing Pharaoh Khufu.B．China’s Han Dynasty cultural relics exhibition.C．The World of Marco Polo.D．The Beauty of Chinese Ceramics.3．Where is this text probably taken from?A．A travel schedule.B．A local newspaper.C．A museum brochure.D．An official document.Last year I averaged 9,370 steps a day. My smartphone counted. My daily aim? Ten thousand steps. Because goals.Yet the concept of taking 10,000 steps a day to maintain health is rooted not in science but in marketing. In the 1960s, a Japanese company invented an early pedometer (计步器). Because the Japanese character for “10,000” looks like a person walking, the company called its device the 10,000-step meter. “It was just sort of a catchy phrase,” says I-Min Lee, a scientist at Harvard Medical School.In 2019, Lee published a study investigating the actual effects of meeting the 10,000-step goal. The result? Some movement is good, and more is better, but the benefits decline at some point. Your personal peak depends on your age. People younger than 60 should indeed walk 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day to get the best benefits in terms of lifespan (寿命). People older than 60 show the most benefit between 6,000 and 8,000 steps.The difference is energy consumption. “We basically relate energy consumption to health outcomes,” Lee says. Walking for 60 minutes at 3.3 miles an hour and running for 30 minutes at 6 miles an hour use the same amount of energy. “The older you are, the less efficient you are with your steps,” Lee says. “Per step, older people use more energy.” Thus, they need fewer steps to achieve the same benefits.Newer studies are moving beyond death rates to ask questions about the way steps may help to control blood pressure and weight. The goal, after all, is not just to live longer but to live healthier. Ful results are not in yet, so Lee’s advice is: “Tailor your steps according to what you are trying to achieve and according to who you are.”4．The concept of taking 10,000 steps daily arises from ______.A．the findings of scientific surveys B．the formation of a Japanese characterC．a marketing trick D．a healthy habit5．What does Lee’s research find?A．Walking step targets vary with age.B．Walking more makes one look younger.C．Old people benefit more from walking longer.D．Reaching 10,000 steps daily appeals to many.6．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The difference in energy consumption among age groups.B．The contrast between the benefits of walking and running.C．The reason for setting different step goals based on age.D．The link between energy consumption and health outcomes.7．What will newer studies focus on?A．How steps change one’s lifestyle.B．How steps affect one’s lifespan.C．How steps reduce death rates.D．How steps boost healthy living.We go through life assuming we’re in charge of our own minds —until temptation (诱惑) strikes. Few things better illustrate how little control we really have. You can know exactly what you should do (decline the second slice of cake or the third cocktail), but that hardly seems to matter when the urge arises. More self-discipline is rarely the answer, though. Instead, if you can understand what’s going on inside your head when temptation comes, you’ll be far better placed to make a healthier choice.Sometimes, you need to push yourself, the idea behind which, in psychology, is to make the better choice the easier choice. (School pupils eat more healthily, it’s been shown, when the salads are within easier reach than the chips.) So, instead of relying on willpower, stop keeping ice creams in your freezer! Use StayFocused or similar apps to block distracting websites. Change your environment, and temptation will be a non-issue.For every person, behind every bad habit, there's a reasonable desire: some people eat or drink too much because they're lonely, or smoke to get a break from a busy schedule. Once you’ve uncovered this underlying need, find a different way to meet it: call a friend; take a coffee break instead of a cigarette break. There’s nothing wrong with the need—only with the way you’recurrently meeting it.It’s a strange truth that we’ll break all sorts of promises to ourselves— yet most of us would never fail to show up at a prearranged meeting with a friend. Involve others in your temptation-resistance efforts, whether it's asking someone to check in weekly to see if you’re sticking to your plan, or never going shopping alone if you’re subject to impulse purchases. Best of all, launch a joint plan, in which two of you decide to give up a bad habit. That turns a challenge into a fun game.8．What does “that” mean in paragraph 1?A．Temptation.B．Self-awareness.C．Choice.D．Self-motivation.9．Which should be a good choice if you feel worn out from a packed timetable?A．Exercise strong willpower over it.B．Keep ice creams within easy reach.C．Use StayFocused to refresh yourself.D．Chat with a friend over a cup of coffee.10．What does the author suggest you do according to paragraph 4?A．Seek partners’ support.B．Leave challenges behind.C．Keep your promises.D．Say no to playing games.11．What is the text mainly about?A．What causes temptation.B．How to keep temptation at bay.C．Why urges set in.D．How to keep life under control.While lifting weights one day, I heard a loud click on my back. I was rushed to the emergency room, where I was told the pain would eventually disappear. It didn’t, however. What I’ve learned about pain since then — both as a patient and as a physician — has me questioning how we treat it.Vania Apkarian, one of the world’s leading pain researchers, told me the classic idea is that pain continues as long as the injury does, but the injury and pain it produces end up being separate. “Although MRIs (核磁共振) are reliable indicators of injury, they are not reliable indicators of pain,” he says. A review of 33 studies found that among a group of 20-year-olds without any backpain, 37 percent had disc degeneration (腰椎间盘退化) on MRI. And in people whose backs hurt, MRI results have absolutely no connection with their pain.This is a really big deal: millions of people in the U.S. alone get MRIs for back pain. Yet 5 percent of them were medically justified, and of those who received MRIs, 65 percent received potentially harmful advice — including calls for risky back surgery that probably wouldn’t have resolved their pain. I could have been one of those people, yet when I took my MRI films to an experienced surgeon, he told me an operation might leave my back worse off.If MRI doesn’t explain long-lasting pains, what does? One major factor is our mentality. A recent trial has revealed the power of therapies (疗法) that target how we think about discomfort. People who are anxious about being in pain are twice as likely to develop long time pain.A thorough examination of pain and its origins should encourage efforts to make sure everyone in pain receives kindness and respect, as well as access to more than pills and surgical procedures. Fully accepting the complexity of pain can open the door to new and innovative ways to ensure that even if we hurt, we don’t have to suffer.12．What does paragraph 2 imply?A．Back pain is not necessarily an emergency case.B．MRI tests can’t give a full picture of one’s condition.C．Minor injuries can lead to severe pain.D．Bone problems begin to bother the young.13．What can we learn from the author’s personal story?A．He found his back surgery medically justified.B．The surgeon misled him about the back injury.C．A surgery might do him more harm than good.D．Being a physician helps him treat his back pain.14．According to the author, what should a patient with long-lasting pain do?A．Consult professionals to receive surgeries.B．Have painkillers as early as possible.C．Take comprehensive MRI examinations.D．Acquire a thorough understanding of the pain.15．What is a suitable title for the text?A．Origins of pain.B．Killers of pain.C．Victims of pain.D．Effects of pain.On a beautiful Saturday morning, I went for a run in the park. I got to about a mile and a half, through rose gardens and around trees. 16 . The next thing I remember was two worried faces looking down at me.They were calling an ambulance, while a black Labrador was licking my face! I felt pain in my back. Later, I learnt the dog chasing a squirrel ran straight into me. I was thrown into the air and landed on my back. My usual run had turned into a trip to a nearby hospital. Luckily, aside from minor injuries, I was OK. 17 : what if it had been a car? How can we ever see these things coming?The truth is that sometimes, life really is out of our control. Then what do we do when it does? First, do a gratitude stocktake (盘点): my friend Denise, would look after my son Jett; gratitude that it was a dog, not a car, and I lived to tell the tale.The next, who and what measures up? These uncontrollable moments in life are also the times when you find the greatest clarity. 18 .The ones that make the effort: show up; come round; be there.19 see it as an opportunity to step back and reassess. Is your time and love focused on the things that truly matter? Are there conversations left unsaid? What do you want to do differently? If it all ended tomorrow, would your life have been well lived? I hope so. 20 ! A．But it crossed my mindB．Unless misfortune falls upon youC．Then I‘m not entirely sure what happenedD．You see the people who are really there for youE．When the breath is literally knocked out of youF．I didn’t expect a Labrador would transform my lifeG．If not, it’s time to start living and watching out for dogs二、完形填空In 2014, Amy collapsed from a brain hemorrhage (脑溢血) while working.
