While modem markets are more popular, floating markets still are huge attractions for local tourism. In Bangkok Floating Markets,Thailand, one of the most popular ones, any visitors can buy local foods and traditional hand-made souvenirs.Bregenzer Festspiele（Opera festival）The Bregenz Festival is held every year from July to August inVorarlberg,Austria. It has the world's largest stage on the water. The performances are different every year but they are usually united by one theme. The decorations（装饰）are very impressive and are worth seeing.Viva, ArtificialIslandArtificial islands are not something new. What makes this island special is that . it is floating. Viva is the largest out of three man-made islands along with Vista and Tera, all situated inSeoul,South Korea. The island weighs 2,000-tons and is technically a buoy（浮标）.The island unfortunately is not carbon-neutral（碳中和）but it has solar panels which can generate electricity to power the hall, restaurants and shopping malls. MarinaBayFloating Platform StadiumThis stadium was built as a temporary solution while Singapore National Stadium was rebuilt. Now it is usedfor different sporting events, concerts, and festivals.

Viva, ArtificialIsland.D.MarinaBayFloating Platform Stadium.BWhena person in the United States gets the COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗), the person receives a small piece of paper called a “COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card”.It is a piece of paper with the logo of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, and the name and date of the vaccine. Because it is so simple, it could be easy to fake.Many people in theU.S.are still unsure about getting the vaccine. As universities, workplaces and other places are requiring proof of vaccination, some people are now buying fake vaccination cards without getting a shot.The Associated Press reports that students and teachers at universities around theU.S.are worried about fake cards. Sellers are using social media apps like Instagram to advertise fake vaccination cards. The prices range from $25 to $200. The AP notes that many college students seem interested in buying the cards. On the site Reddit, one person wrote, “I need one, too, for college. I refuse to be a guinea pig.”It is reported that more than 700 universities and colleges require proof of vaccination. Most schools simply ask their students to take a photo of their card and send it to a school website. Benjamin Mason Meier is a professor at theUniversityofNorth CarolinaatChapel Hill, UNC. He studies international health policy. He said, unlike some countries, theU.S.is not using a digital system to record vaccine status. He said theU.S.is depending on “aflimsypaper card”, and students have told him they knew of others who had used fake vaccination cards. Rebecca Williams also works at UNC. She is a researcher at the school’s Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. She said she was not surprised that people were worried about fake vaccination cards. “This is why I think the development of a reliable national digital vaccine passport app is very important,” she said.There is a law that should prevent people from making false vaccination cards. If someone uses the CDC logo without permission, they can be lined and punished by up to five years in prison. The U.S. Department of Justice recently charged a person inCaliforniawith making fake vaccination cards.College students who already have the vaccine are criticizing those who would rather spend money to buy a fake than get a free shot. Maliha Reza is an electrical engineering student atPennsylvaniaStateUniversity, Shecalled those students “dumb”. “I’m angry about that,” she said. “Like, there is more anger than I could describe now.”4. Why do some college students buy fake vaccination cards?A. They are easy to get.B. Many Americans are still uncertain about getting the vaccine.C. Students have an interest in the fake vaccination cards.D. To get a vaccine shot is expensive.5. Which of the following measures can NOT be used to stop the fake cards?A. Having a law that should prevent people from making false vaccination cards.B. Developing a reliable national digital vaccine passport app.C. Using a digital system to record vaccine status.D. Having all the students take a photo of their vaccination card and send it to the school website.6. What does the underlined word “flimsy” probably mean?A. Weak.B. Effective.C. Detailed.D. Professional,7. What might be the writing purpose for the news report?A. To promote a digital system to record the vaccination shots.B. To explain why theU.S.should prevent making the fake vaccination cards.C. The stress the influence of the COVID-19 vaccination.D. To reduce theU.S.university leaders’ worry about fake vaccination cards.CI once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans.” I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their ideas, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies. They were without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is asuperior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.InChina, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there's the “thousand talent scheme.” this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries aboutChina's research environment. It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.At last, forChina, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnership with top western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It's about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It's not that simple.8. Why does the writer feel disappointed at his students?A. Because there is one group presenting a catering service.B. Because the six groups did not cooperate well in the brainstorm.C. Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic.D. Because the students' ideas were lacking in creativeness.9. Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?A. Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.B. Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.C. Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.D. Case study debates were written up as well as recited.10. We can infer form the passage that ________.A. China can make and sell any product all over the world from its own creation.B. high pay may not solve the problem ofChina's research environment.C. cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand.D. the new government program is aimed at encouraging imagination.11. Which is the best title for the passage?A Look for a new way of learning B. Reward creative thinkingC. How to become a creatorD. Establish a technical environmentDIt all happened one afternoon in Carl's backyard a few years ago. We had just finished playing stickball, and I was about to go home.“Wait a minute,” Carl yelled. He ran into his house and cameback with a book for me to take home and read. All he said was, “See if you like it.”I said ly nothing. I kept the book for a couple of weeks and then returned it unread. Carl never asked me if I liked it or not. During the following two years Carl lent me three more books. Each time I returned them unread.A few days after graduating from high school, Carl asked, “Benny, which college are you going to?”“I'm not going to college.” I said.“Why not?” he asked.“Because my father can't afford the tuition (学费).” I answered.“Is that it?” Carl asked. “Yes,” I said.I lied. I had no intention of going back to school now that I was out. The following day, Carl knocked on my door and handed me a check for seventy-five dollars from his father along with the bookMartin Eden.“I think that should do it.” he said.Once again I was in shock. I was working full-time in my brother's bakery. I attended two classes atWayneUniversitypart-time at night. Halfway through the semester, after receiving failing grades on exams and essays, I decided there was no way I would ever become a good student and get satisfactory grades. I dropped out of college.One day, curious, I picked up the book, thinking Carl was trying to tell me something. Despite difficulty, I pressed on. By the time I finished the book, I understood why: the main character, Martin Eden, had my own poor educational background, but managed to educate himself and become a published author.12. What do we know about the author?A. He often told lies.B. He quit school unwillingly.C. He had thought little of education before.D. He became a published author.13. What kind of person is Carl?A. Caring.B. Emotional.C. Stubborn.D. Cautious.14. What message does Carl want to convey?A. Reading makes a rich man.B. Reading is the journey of the soul.C. Reading makes a person better known.D.Readingopens up new opportunities.15. What is the best title for the text?A. A strong desire for collegeB. A wish for better educationC. A wise friendD.

高考英语一模试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AI was in the seventh grade，and we had moved to New Jersey in November．By then，everyone already had had their own friends，and no one wanted to talk to a new girl．To make things worse，they put me in "Section L"．I found out later that everyone called Section L "Loserville"．It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers andnot-so-smart kids．When I found out，I wanted to scream．I had always been a good student and had amazing friends，and now everyone thought I was a loser!I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night，especially my best friend，Ana．At first my friends wanted to hear all about it．But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was．One night when I was texting with Ana，I complained about another friend who had just done that．Ana's texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me．She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey，too．She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time，I had to try to make things better．The next day，I thought a lot about what Ana had said．She was right!I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that，but it didn't．I was still stuck in "Loserville"，and some people were still mean to me，even though I tried to just stay out of their way．But what did change was me-I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends．I signed up to make sets for the school play．I met a lot of new people there，and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!I still miss Illinois sometimes，but life in New Jersey isn't so hard anymore．Even though I couldn't change my situation，I could change my attitude-and that made all the difference．1."Loserville" is a section for ______ ．A. failuresB. good studentsC. class secretsD. newcomers2.The writer complained all the time in the new environment because ______ ．A. Ana didn't text back to herB. her friends hurt her feelingsC. she was unfairly treatedD. she was a good student3.What made a difference in changing the situation？______A. She went back to Illinois．B. She ended friendship with Ana．C. She fought back with her classmates．D. She began to make friends with others．4.The best title for the passage can be ______ ．A. Lasting FriendshipB. An Incidence at SchoolC. Say Goodbye to "Loserville"D. Unhappiness in "Loserville"BThese days everyone is worried about the size of their carbon footprint．In order to reduce global warming，we need to make our carbon footprints smaller．But how much CO are we responsible for？A new book by Mike Berners-Lee （a leading expert in carbon foot-printing）might be able to help．The Carbon Foot print of Everything looks at the different things we do and buy，and calculates the amount of CO2 they produce，including the ingredients，the electricity，the equipment，the transport and the packaging．And it's frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces．But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink．From Berners-Lee's calculations，it's clear that a pint （568 ml）of locally-brewed （酿制的）beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer．This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away，and it uses more packaging．The local beer only produces 300 g of CO2-but the imported beer produces 900 g! So，one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign beer from the supermarket．Berners-Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work．Nothing is more environmentally - friendly than riding a bike，surely？Well，it depends on what you've had to eat before．To ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food．So，if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half，our footprint is 65 g of CO2．However，if we eat bacon before the bike ride，it's 200g．In fact，bananas are good in general because they don't need packaging．They can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight．So，does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment？Absolutely not．If you cycle，you don t use your car；and the fewer cars on the road，the fewer traffic jams．And cars in traffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars travelling at speed．Cycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to a hospital．And hospitals have very big carbon footprints! So，maybe it's time for us all to start making some changes．Pass me a banana and a pint of local beer，please．5.Which of the followings produces the smallest carbon footprints？______A. A pint of local beer．B. A bottle of imported beer．C. A banana before a 1.5 km bike ride．D. Bacon before a 1.5 km bike ride．6.According to the article，the author suggests choosing the local food because it is______ ．A. more tastyB. easier to buyC. better packagedD. more energy-saving7.The purpose of writing this article is to ______ ．A. promote a new bookB. advertise the imported beerC. instruct how to measure the carbon footprintD. encourage people to reduce the production of CO2CMost adults firmly believe that as kids reach their teens，they start to take crazy risks that get them in trouble. Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults? A recent study suggests otherwise.Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age groups. In the experiment, the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds ofrisk-taking. The first they called a willingness to take known risks (when the probability of winning is clear) and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks (when the possibility of success is uncertain).The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games. They had the chance to win money，with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk. On each round of the game，each participant had to choose between taking a sure $ 5 and known or unknown risks of winning a lot more. If on one particular round they had picked the $ 5 for sure choice, then they got $ 5. But if on that round they had chosen to take a risk, the rules of the game will determine whether or not they had won. If they did win，they went home with between $8 and $125. And，of course, if they lost, they went home with nothing.What the scientists found was really quite surprising. It turned out that the average teenager was very hesitant when risks were known—more careful than college students or parent-aged adults，and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults. This means that when the risks were known, teenagers were not risky in their behavior at all. Only when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups. Under those kinds of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group.So，what does all of this mean? The research suggests that adults should probably focus more energy on trying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them.
