湖南省湖南师大附中2013届高三第七次月考英语试题 Word版含答案

湖南省湖南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第三次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Cannes(戛纳)is a place that offers lots of different ways to spoil yourself. During the Cannes Film Festival in May, nothing changes, except that there are more people doing this, and that they talk about film. Here’s a guide to what you should do during the festival, both film-related and not.Hotel Intercontinental CarltonThe film festival is a busy time for Cannes. The best way to appreciate the crowds might be having a dinner on a terrace(露天平台). Head to the Hotel Intercontinental Carlton and wander the lobby to take it all in. If you’re lucky you might be able to secure a table in the restaurant. Dress to impress or you won’t stand a chance of getting in.Cinema de la PlageThroughout the Cannes Film Festival, one of the best places to soak up some of the wonderful atmosphere is the open-air Cinema de la Plage at Mace beach. If you haven’t secured a ticket in advance for a seat, there’s no need to worry. You can spread a blanket out on the ground, open up your pre-prepared picnic, and enjoy the movie.Marché ForvilleThe Marché Forville is a must-see for any visitor to Cannes and a foodie’．s delight. On most days, vendors sell home-made fruits and vegetables as well as local specialties to eat for lunch. But don’t go on Mondays, unless you want to browse for bargains, as that’s when the flea market is on instead.La CroisetteLa Croisette is the most famous walk in Cannes and is listed under the cultural inventory of France itself. Stroll the whole length, stop for a coffee, and end your walk by sitting on one of the free blue chairs along the way while taking in the view. It is also a great place to admire Cannes’ sculptures.1．What is probably the intention of the text?A．To introduce French culture.B．To present dining locations.C．To publicize a film festival.D．To suggest tourism activities.2．Which place best suits people who enjoy shopping?A．Hotel Intercontinental Carlton.B．Cinema de la Plage.C．Marché Forville.D．La Croisette.3．What can be expected in Cannes during the festival?A．Attending fashion shows.B．Watching movies outdoors.C．Tasting imported farm produce.D．Experiencing sculpture production.Coming into the freshman year at Paul College, Sansa was concerned about her ability as an individual to make an impact on such a large community, for it was never hard for her to stand out from peers in high school. Luckily, each first-year student in Paul College takes part in what is called the First-year Innovation and Research Experience, commonly referred to as the FIRE Program, an extracurricular project assigned by the institution. She was able to forge invaluable connections with her fellow students and their peer advisor who had so much first-hand experience with what they all were going through.The biggest highlight of her freshman year was working alongside her FIRE team on a Grand Challenge Project, in which every FIRE team competed against one another in the Undergraduate Research Conference. Each team had to create a unique product that tackled one of the five following real-world problems: “Water is Life”, “Food”, “Threats from Cyberspace”, “Medical Breakthroughs”, and “Addictive Society”. Her team addressed the growing issue of “Addictive Society”. Doing research, collecting facts and organizing discussions or even debates were a huge amount of work before they went to vie with other teams.After weeks of tireless preparation, their collective efforts bore fruit at the Undergraduate Research Conference. They earned a spot in the final round of the conference, where they competed against the top team from each of the other Grand Challenge groups. They were so overcome with pride when they were finally announced as the overall first-place team at the college!If it hadn’t been for her group’s determination, excellent teamwork and their awesome peer advisor Hayley, they would not have been able to accomplish everything they did. This experience would be instrumental in her future.4．What do we know about Sansa from paragraph 1?A．She performed quite well in high school.B．She was much more experienced than her college schoolmates.C．She applied for the FIRE Program.D．She had trouble with her freshman year.5．How did each team compete against one another?A．By providing facts.B．By creating products.C．By organizing debates.D．By challenging each other.6．What does the underlined phrase “vie with” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Contest against.B．Give way to.C．Break up with.D．Make up with.7．What is probably Sansa’s biggest gain from the FIRE Program?A．Financial benefits.B．Academic reputation.C．Good relationships.D．Competitive opponents.When Jason Allen submitted his “Th éâtre D’．opéra Spatial” into the Colorado StateFair’s fine arts competition, the print was an immediate hit, defeating 20 other artists in the “digitally manipulated photography” category to win the first-place blue ribbon and a $ 300 prize.Allen’s piece offers a clear example of how rapidly AI-generated art has advanced. Trained on billions of internet images, the systems have decisively pushed the boundaries of what computers can create.But it has also sparked a massive debate over the meaning of art, with Allen facing accusations that he had been deceiving with something he asked a machine to create.Text-to-image tools like DALL-E 2 and Midjourney have quickly increased in sophistication and have become one of the hottest topics in AI. They can generate not just fake people, objects and locations but mimic entire visual styles.But AI-generated art has been criticized as automated plagiarism (剽窃), because it relies on millions of ingested art pieces that are then parroted (机械地重复) together. It has also fueled deeper fears: blurring the boundaries of reality or interfering with human art.Allen said his art piece shows people need to “get past their denial and fear” of a technology that could give rise to new inventions and reshape our world. “The AI,” he said,“is a tool, just like the paintbrush is a tool. Without the person, there is no creative force.”Jessica Hair, a 25-year-old receptionist at a doctor’s office who won third place in the competition, said she did not feel as if Allen had acted unfairly and had no hard feelings about his win.Hair said her “Judge, Jury, Executioner”, which depicts a tuxedoed skeleton on a golden throne surrounded by skulls, took 15 hours to create with a stylus (触屏笔) on an iPad Pro. But Allen’s piece took time, effort and subjective judgment, too, and “how do we qualify what is and isn’t art?” she said.8．Which of the following statements can be inferred from the text?A．It is the first time in history that an AI-generated work has won an arts competition.B．Advances made in computer art are not as rapid as the public believes them to be.C．Computer-produced works have more success in some art forms than in others.D．People’s acceptance of computer-produced art pieces can vary considerably. 9．According to the text, why is AI-generated art facing severe criticism?A．Because it will ultimately overtake human art in the future.B．Because it will lead to a sharp decrease in human creativity.C．Because it purely uses existing art pieces as its subject matter.D．Because the technical standard of its output is extremely low.10．What was Allen’s reaction to people’s criticism?A．He fought back like a soldier.B．He kept silent like a victim.C．He persuaded like a promoter.D．He lost heart like a failure.11．What is Jessica Hair’s attitude towards Allen’s award-winning piece?A．Supportive.B．Critical.C．Cautious.D．Skeptical.The streets, sidewalks and roofs of cities all absorb heat during the day, making some urban areas across the United States up to 6 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than rural ones during the day—and 22 degrees F hotter at night. These “urban heat islands”can also develop underground as the city heat spreads downward, beneath the surface. And basements, subway tunnels and other underground infrastructure also constantly bleed heat into the surrounding earth, creating hotspots. Now the underground heat is building up as the planet warms.According to a new study of downtown Chicago, underground hotspots may threaten the very same structures that emit the heat in the first place. Such temperature changes make the ground around them expand and contract (收缩) enough to cause potential damage. “Without anyone realizing it, the city of Chicago’s downtown was deforming,” says the study’s author Alessandro F. Rotta Loria, a civil and environmental engineer at Northwestern University.The findings, published in Communications Engineering, expose a “silent hazard (危险)” to civil infrastructure in cities with soft er ground — especially those near water — Rotta Loria says. “There might have been structural issues caused by this underground climate change that happened, and we didn’t even realize,” he adds. While not an immediate or direct danger to human lives, this previously unknown effect highlights the impacts of a lesser-known component of climate change.Similar to climate change above the surface, these underground changes occur over long periods of time. “These effects took decades, a century, to develop,” Rotta Loria says, adding that elevated underground temperatures would likewise take a long time to dissipate (逐渐消失) on their own.But other researchers interviewed for this story all say this wasted energy could also be recycled, presenting an opportunity to both cool the subsurface and save on energy costs. Subway tunnels and basements could be updated with technologies to recapture the heat. For example, water pipes could be installed to run through underground hotspots and pick up some of the heat energy.12．What can we learn about the “urban heat islands”?A．They can develop underground structures.B．They are impacted by global warming.C．They can destroy the ground around.D．They only exist in the United States.13．Why does Alessandro F. Rotta Loria mention “silent hazard” in paragraph 3?A．To discuss structural issues.B．To categorize climate change.C．To explain underground heat.D．To emphasize the neglected reality.14．What will the author probably write about in the paragraph that follows?A．The future of tunnels and basements.B．The reusing approaches of heat energy.C．The cost of maintaining structures.D．The evolution of underground environment.15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Warming Underground, Weakening SurfaceB．A Silver Lining of Global WarmingC．Urban Silent Islands in the MakingD．A Silent Crisis in Downtown Chicago二、七选五Including children in the farming lifestyle has many benefits. Sure, it is nice to have the additional help with chores, but it also fosters so much growth, sending our kids down a good path towards who they will someday become. It is possible that our children will grow up to lead lives that do not include farming. 16Through caring for farm animals, kids learn that in life others often come before self.17 It doesn’t matter if we don’t feel like it or if we are sick and tired. What matters is that we take care of the animals that take care of us and do so in a timely manner.18 If the work on a farm does not get done, the operation fails. It takes discipline and commitment to get down to business every day, and seeing this in action will give kids a good work attitude. They will know and understand that nothing good comes easy and that they have to work to survive. 19 Functioning as part of a productive team will surely be playing a crucial role sooner or later in all walks of life.Additionally, farming teaches patience. 20 It’s especially true for the animals. Cattle will be difficult to control. Horses will run away when you try to catch them. Goats will kick over that bucket of hard-earned milk. A rooster will decide you got too close to his hens and give you a run for your money. In spite of all that, kids will learn to be patient and take things easy.There may not be any instant reward, but in the long-term kids will see the benefit of all their efforts during those hard days.A．Fairly often, things do not go your way.B．Kids also learn to be grateful to animals.C．In the meantime, they learn to work with others.D．Teamwork is no longer a significant skill to develop and use.E．Animals need to be fed and cared for before we get to sit down and relax.F．Kids are also able to comprehend the value of hard work through farm life.G．What they learn on a farm, however, can be instrumental in their future lives.三、完形填空27．A．could B．should C．would D．might 28．A．also B．again C．only D．instead 29．A．responded B．claimed C．updated D．expressed 30．A．odd B．general C．novel D．complicated 31．A．closed B．black C．plain D．blank 32．A．lesson B．blame C．curse D．ban 33．A．open B．click C．use D．function 34．A．refreshing B．crashing C．connecting D．running 35．A．advocate B．tolerate C．appreciate D．understand四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

If was founded in 1919 by Jack Cohen. Tesco stores can be found across all continents. Even though it was set up only for food and beverages, Tesco has drastically branched out , not only in geographical terms, but also in terms of products.Which now include electronics , clothing, health care, home improvement and even financial services.SafewayFounded in the year 1915 by a young M. B, Skaggs. Safeway developed from just a small grocery store on the fundamentals of providing value to customers and narrow profit margins. The success story of Skaggs becomes more evident when , by the end of the year 1926,he he had opened almost 428 stores across ten states. Almost two years later, Safeway was listed at the New York Stock Exchange . At present, there are more than fifteen hundred Safeway stores across US and Canada.The Kroger CompanyFounded at Cincinnati, Ohio in 1883 by Mr. Bernard Kroger, the Kroger Company is now one of the largest supermarket chains not only in the US. but across the world . Over the last couple of decades, the Kroger Company has vastly expanded by acquiring popular brand names, including those of Owen’s Market. Its stores are largely spread out across Middle. Western and Central United States.Reve-GruppeReve – Gruppe was founded in 1927 and is presently headquartered at Cologne, Germany . This supermarket chain is easily counted among the top supermarket chains of the world . Its vast ine of products includes grocery, home improvement, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, optical as well as clothing .

Imagine towers of boxes, all of them filled with broken glass and discarded electronic devices. Technology graveyards like this can be found in communities across the country.Experts say that landfills and warehouses will overflow unless a plan for the disposal (清理)and reuse of electronics is put into place .‖ We can’t put electronics and glass aside and tell ourselves we’ll deal with them later , ‖Laure n Roman , managing director of Transparent Planet said. Roman’s group works to improve the disposal of electronic waste. She says about 660 million pounds of tech trash is produced each year in the U.S.What’s behind the tech trash pile-up ?About ten years ago ,major advances were made in computer and television technology . Manufacturers began producing devices like flat –paneled LCDs and plasma(等离子) screen monitors. These new products provide a clearer image and take up less space than older models. It goes without saying that consumers choose them rather than heavy. Glass-based technologies.The new electronics are built with materials that are difficult to recycle. In addition, the new products have decreased the demand for recycled parts from the older monitors and screens. Older, heavier computer monitors and TVs used glass-based components called CRTs.CRTs have a high lead content and can be environmentally hazardous if not recycled properly . If crushed and put in landfills, the lead from CUTs could seep into groundwater and rivers, harming the water supply. For many years, plants and recycling programs safely processed CRTs. The recycled CRTs were reused in the construction of new monitors.Monitors being made today do not use glass tubes . ―Peo ple are returning old –style TVs with CRTs , but no new ones are being made ,‖ said Linnell. This is creating an imbalance in the amount of glass being disposed of and recycled properly. Many recycling companies have shut down. Others no longer have the resources or space to process these materials. This results in stockpiling.However , experts say there are ways to safely and responsibly address the tech-trash problem.66．What is the main idea of the passage?A．New technology causes trouble for recyclers.B．Experts are trying to solve the tech-trash problem.C．New technology has both advantages and disadvantages.D．CRTs from old computer monitors and TVs harm the earth.67.What Lauren Roman says in Paragraph 2 shows that .A．people attach great importance to electronic wasteB．he has found a new way on how to dispose electronic wasteC．figuring out how to deal with electronic waste is urgent\D．more landfills are needed for storing electronics and glass68．We learn from Paragraph 3 that flat-paneled plasmas and LEDs .A．produce wastes which are less harmfulB．are using heavy , grass-based technologies.C．are very easy for recyclers to recycle for reuseD．are putting heavy, glass-based technologies out lf the market69．W hat does the underlined word ―hazardous‖ in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?A．Risky．B．Helpless．C．Extreme．D．Unnecessary．70．What would the writer probably talk about next?A．Some other problems related to technologies．B．Some experts’ opinions on the tech-trash problem．C．Some reasons why the tech-trash problem is hard to solve．D．Some practicable ways to solve the tech-trash problem．Part Ⅳ Writing(45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs．Three stages are often highlighted for them to follow in the process of finding a career recognizing abilities, matching these to jobs available and presenting them well to possible employers．Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own values and attitudes. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful thoughtThe second stage is to study the opportunities which are available for employment. To do this, graduates can study job and position information in newspapers, or they can pay a visit to a careers office, write to friends or relatives who may already be involved in a particular profession. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career. Job application forms should be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar of spelling errors. They should also prepare properly by finding out all they can about the possible employer. When additional information b asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, as well as balance their own abilities with the employer's needs, explain why they are interested in a career with the particular company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activities. For an interview, they should dress suitably and arrive on time. Interviewees should try to give positive answers and not be afraid of asking questions about anything they are unsure about.If the graduates have ability and are determined, they will be lucky enough to follow an ideal career.Section B (10 marks)Directions Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage .Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often these experiences appear over and over again in nightmares,Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill. which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase, the effect of painful memories.In November. experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea. Those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous. It is known that memories give us our identity and also help us avoid the mistakes of the past. "All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we'd want to wipe those memories out," said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist. .Some people also fear that the drug would be abused although the drug should be used only in very serious cases. "People always have the ability to misuse science." said Joseph LeDoux, a New York University memory researcher." All we want to do is help people have better control of memories.However. there are still some supporters. who believe it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. In addition, they say that nowadays there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. "Some memories can ruin people's lives. They comeback to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions. "said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering. "81. According to the passage, what experiences often bring people bad memories? (No more than 4 words)82. How does the drug work to reduce the emotional effects of memories? (No more than 12words) (2 marks)83. Why do some people think the research is a bad idea? (No more than 12 words) (3 marks)84. What's the main idea of the last paragraph? (No more than 8 words) (3 marks)Section C(25 marks)Directions Write an English composition according to the instructions given below.下面的这幅画展现了两人合作一张凳子却各忙各的情景，请根据对这幅画的理解，用英语写一篇短文。

To report a bullying survey.C. To fight against bullying.D. To reveal a rise in bullying.BHave you ever wondered about the universal layout (布局) of supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle (过道) and fill your trolley (手推车) without even realizing it.Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly, who studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained there is a specific reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, “You'll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hopefully feel less guilty about buying junk food later on.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the possibilities of non- essential buying.There's also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. Shockingly, they move things around. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they'll regularly move the products to different aisles to confuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is used across various retail chains.”“Their little tricks always work on me,” one regular shopper admits. “I walk in to get three things and end up spending $300; that's why I hate grocery shopping,” he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That's why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared. “I've started having my groceries delivered. If I have to go to the store, I never grab a trolley. If I can't carry it, I'm not buying it,” he added.4. What is the purpose of the supermarket layout?A. To encourage healthy eating.B. To save consumers' shopping time.C. To increase unnecessary buying.D. To provide multiple goods for choice.5. What does the underlined word “practice” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Distributing junk food in different areas.B. Putting milk and eggs at the back of the store.C. Reordering products in supermarkets regularly.D. Placing fruit and vegetables at the front of the store.6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Shopping baskets are better than heavy trollies.B. Most shoppers are trapped in marketing tricks.C. Grocery delivery can help improve supermarket sales.D. Taking a shopping list can be a smart move for non- essential buying.7. Where is this text most likely from?A. A psychology report.B. A business magazine.C. A research paper.D. A shopping guide.CYou are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing (内化) your victimization (受害) . The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way aslong as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don't let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don't blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred (神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.8. In what way is a creator different from a victim?A. A creator is given more challenges.B. Failure seldom comes to a creator.C. Storms are beneficial in a creator's eyes.D. A victim hardly blames others for their own faults.9. When people choose to think like a creator, what will happen?A. They seldom make careless mistakes.B. The world seems a cold and difficult place.C. Life is blessed with fewer opportunities than expected.D. They don't care what happens to them but think positively.10. Which of the following can be described as a creator's act?A. Tim failed his exam and thought he would never pass it.B. Sam lost his job and abandoned himself to drinking for months.C. J. K. Rowling was refused by a publisher and yet went on writing.D. Jessica broke up with her husband and chose to give up her own life.11. Which of the following can be the best title for this text?A. Benefits of Being a CreatorB. Creators: Act Now or NeverC. Creator or Victim: Up to YouD. Ways to Transform a Victim into a CreatorDA team of researchers at ETH Zurich has the perfect long- lasting solution to our fog problem. They have developed a very thin and gold- based transparent coating (涂层) that can convert sunlight into heat, which can be applied to glass and other surfaces to prevent them from fogging.The special coating is developed using titanium oxide and gold particles. It selectively absorbs infraredradiation (红外线辐射) from the sunlight and creates a heating effect that is powerful enough to keep fog away from the surface of an object. The coating basically uses heat to stop fogging. The coating absorbs a large part of the infrared radiation, which causes it to heat up—by up to 8℃.Previously, products like anti- fogging sprays create a very thin film of water on the surface to remove fog. The problem with such surfaces is pollution. Along with water, the sprays also attract dirt, dust, oil, and various other dirty substances, and just a little dirt on the surface makes it useless. However, the new coating repels (排斥) water. Furthermore, the coating is significantly thinner, which makes it more transparent as well as flexible. It is heated passively and requires, during daytime, no additional energy source.Gold might be expensive, but the researchers stress that their coating requires so little that the material costs remain low. Their coating is produced with standardized and readily scalable methods, all cost- effectively. However, although this product can work at very low levels of solar irradiation, it does rely on a certain amount of light.The researchers will develop the coating further for other applications. In the process, they will examine whether other metals work just as well as gold. There is no need to fear, however, this would cause a car or a building to heat up more in the summer. The researchers have already filed a patent (专利) . Hopefully, this groundbreaking product will soon be available on the market.12. How does the new coating work to remove fog?A. By reflecting part of sunlight selectively.B. By keeping cool air away from the object.C. By creating a thin film of water on the surface.D. By absorbing infrared radiation to heat the coating.13. Why does the author mention previous anti- fogging products?A. To stress the advantages of the new coating.B. To introduce the inspiration behind the new coating.C. To prove the difficulty of creating anti- fogging products.D. To explain the reason for the anti- fogging coating being popular.14. What is the limitation of the new coating?A. It is considerably expensive.B. It depends on sunlight to work.C. It takes too much time to produce.D. It is difficult to clean and maintain.15. What do the researchers plan to do next?A. Apply for a patent for the invention.B. Develop the product for more practical uses.C. Explore the environmental impact of the coating.D. Seek a cheaper material as an alternative to gold.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Something less well-known, though, is that fake news has also become a topic of scientific investigation.In a paper published in March in the journal Science, David Lazer, Matthew Baum and 14 co-authors consider what we do and don’t know about the science of fake news.They define fake news as “made-up information that imitates news in form but not in process or intention”.The paper makes a persuasive case that the investigation of fake news is timely and important. One conservative (保守的) estimate is that in the month before the 2016 election, the average American was exposed to somewhere between one and three articles from a known publisher of fake news. Another alarming result is that when it comes to political topics, tweets containing false information spread more rapidly and broadly on Twitter than those containing reliable information.Researchers mentioned in the paper that in the face of fake news and its spreading by social and other forms of media, “A new system of safeguards is needed.” But what kinds of safeguards can individual news consumers put into place? The simplistic answer is “be more reflective”. Don’ t believe everything you read, but consider the possibility that it’s false. We need to foster standards of discussion in which it’s OK to challenge what others say without the conversation immediately turning into abuse. The most effective lab meetings are like that: If someone disagrees with the presenter, they say so in a polite way. And by doing so, they might be saving the presenter from embarrassment in a more public forum. A community that encourages individuals to point out when statements are false or unclear benefits everybody by helping detect the truth.In the long run, the truth will win out. Our preferred society encourages the truth to win out before great damage is done.8．What can we infer from the third paragraph?A．The investigation proved fake news is persuasive.B．The spread of fake news has become an alarming issue.C．The use of social media might help fake news to spread.D．Fake news on political topics received more attention.9．What safeguard is suggested to individuals according to the passage?A．Reflecting on what you read.B．Neglecting the false information.C．Challenging what others say.D．Helping others detect the truth. 10．What is the author’s attitude to the future of news?A．Skeptical.B．Unclear.C．Indifferent.D．Optimistic. 11．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Do Not Believe in Everything B．The Truth Will Finally Win OutC．The Truth About Fake News D．The Spreading of Fake NewsAs students return to school this fall, many of them- perhaps especially those from historically disadvantaged student groups- will be starting the academic year with achievement levels lower than where they were at the beginning of summer break.

At present, there are more than fifteen hundred Safeway stores across US and Canada.The Kroger CompanyFounded at Cincinnati, Ohio in 1883 by Mr. Bernard Kroger, the Kroger Company is now one of the largest supermarket chains not only in the US. but across the world .

Imagine towers of boxes, all of them filled with broken glass and discarded electronic devices. Technology graveyards like this can be found in communities across the country.Experts say that landfills and warehouses will overflow unless a plan for the disposal (清理)and reuse of electronics is put into place .” We can’t put electronics and glass aside and tell ourselves we’ll deal with them later , ”Lauren Roman , managing director of Transparent Planet said. Roman’s group works to improve the disposal of electronic waste. She says about 660 million pounds of tech trash is produced each year in the U.S.What’s behind the tech trash pile-up ?About ten years ago ,major advances were made in computer and television technology . Manufacturers began producing devices like flat –paneled LCDs and plasma(等离子) screen monitors. These new products provide a clearer image and take up less space than older models. It goes without saying that consumers choose them rather than heavy. Glass-based technologies.The new electronics are built with materials that are difficult to recycle. In addition, the new products have decreased the demand for recycled parts from the older monitors and screens. Older, heavier computer monitors and TVs used glass-based components called CRTs.CRTs have a high lead content and can be environmentally hazardous if not recycled properly . If crushed and put in landfills, the lead from CUTs could seep into groundwater and rivers, harming the water supply. For many years, plants and recycling programs safely processed CRTs. The recycled CRTs were reused in the construction of new monitors.Monitors being made today do not use glass tubes . “People are returning old –style TVs with CRTs , but no new ones are being made ,” said Linnell. This is creating an imbalance in the amount of glass being disposed of and recycled properly. Many recycling companies have shut down. Others no longer have the resources or space to process these materials. This results in stockpiling.However , experts say there are ways to safely and responsibly address the tech-trash problem. 66．What is the main idea of the passage?A．New technology causes trouble for recyclers.B．Experts are trying to solve the tech-trash problem.C．New technology has both advantages and disadvantages.D．CRTs from old computer monitors and TVs harm the earth.67.What Lauren Roman says in Paragraph 2 shows that .A．people attach great importance to electronic wasteB．he has found a new way on how to dispose electronic wasteC．figuring out how to deal with electronic waste is urgent\D．more landfills are needed for storing electronics and glass68．We learn from Paragraph 3 that flat-paneled plasmas and LEDs .A．produce wastes which are less harmfulB．are using heavy , grass-based technologies.C．are very easy for recyclers to recycle for reuseD．are putting heavy, glass-based technologies out lf the market69．What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?A．Risky．B．Helpless．C．Extreme．D．Unnecessary．70．What would the writer probably talk about next?A．Some other problems related to technologies．B．Some experts’ opinions on the tech-trash problem．C．Some reasons why the tech-trash problem is hard to solve．D．Some practicable ways to solve the tech-trash problem．Part Ⅳ Writing(45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs．Three stages are often highlighted for them to follow in the process of finding a career recognizing abilities, matching these to jobs available and presenting them well to possible employers．Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own values and attitudes. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful thought The second stage is to study the opportunities which are available for employment. To do this, graduates can study job and position information in newspapers, or they can pay a visit to a careers office, write to friends or relatives who may already be involved in a particular profession. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career. Job application forms should be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar of spelling errors. They should also prepare properly by finding out all they can about the possible employer. When additional information b asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, as well as balance their own abilities with the employer's needs, explain why they are interested in a career with the particular company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activities. For an interview, they should dress suitably and arrive on time. Interviewees should try to give positive answers and not be afraid of asking questions about anything they are unsure about.If the graduates have ability and are determined, they will be lucky enough to follow an ideal career.Section B (10 marks)Directions Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage .Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often these experiences appear over and over again in nightmares,Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill. which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase, the effect of painful memories.In November. experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea. Those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous. It is known that memories give us our identity and also help us avoid the mistakes of the past. "All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we'd want to wipe those memories out," said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist. .Some people also fear that the drug would be abused although the drug should be used only in very serious cases. "People always have the ability to misuse science." said Joseph LeDoux, a New York University memory researcher." All we want to do is help people have better control of memories.However. there are still some supporters. who believe it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. In addition, they say that nowadays there are many people whosuffer from terrible memories. "Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions. "said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering. "81. According to the passage, what experiences often bring people bad memories? (No more than 4 words)82. How does the drug work to reduce the emotional effects of memories? (No more than 12 words) (2marks)83. Why do some people think the research is a bad idea? (No more than 12 words) (3 marks)84. What's the main idea of the last paragraph? (No more than 8 words) (3 marks)Section C(25 marks)Directions Write an English composition according to the instructions given below.下面的这幅画展现了两人合作一张凳子却各忙各的情景，请根据对这幅画的理解，用英语写一篇短文。
