AWe all carry fear, and accepting the type of fear you carry is the first step in punishing past it. So, here’s a breakdown of the fear archetypes(典型) and how to make them work for you. We also invited Dr. Alicia Hodge to give us her feedback in a few of them.The procrastinator(拖延症患者)The procrastinators often obsess(痴迷于) over the outcome of whatever they’re doing and insist on it being perfect. Because of this, they tend to spend too much time planning and researching instead of simply diving in.For procrastinators, it’s important to push past that fear of starting. Hodge suggests setting a deadline for when your planning and researching period will end and when you’ll actually get started.The people pleaserThose who have the people-pleaser archetype struggle with the fear of being judged and worry most about disappointing others. They have a hard time setting clear boundaries and saying “no.”“Having boundaries often sounds scary to someone who is used to putting others first” Hodge says. “Remind yourself that you deserve to be prioritized, just as much as other people in your life.”The self-doubterThis archetype is dominated by the fear of not being good enough, those who self-doubt tend to feel not confident about their capabilities.A good way to overcome self-doubt is to step outside your comfort zone every once in a while – and take note of th e outcome. Practice being proactive about your life, you’ll be surprised to see just how much you are capable of.21. What probably is Dr. Alice Hodge?A. An editorB. A reporterC. A psychologistD. A teacher22. What is the underlined phrase “diving in” in the second paragraph mean?A. Swimming inB. Jumping intoC. Starting doingD. Escaping from23. How to overcome self-doubt?A. Setting a deadline for your work.B. Putting yourself first.C. Ignoring others’ judgement.D. Taking an active part in life.BFamily sizes are shrinking around the world. In many countries, families are having fewer than two children. Smaller families mean many children now grow up with fewer cousins. This is hard to imagine, as I come from a large extended family with 23 first cousins on one side and 25 on the other.Sometimes when I can’t sleep, I try to name all my relatives. Of course, almost all of thosecousins have married and had children and now their children are having children. With extended families growing so large and spreading so far, get-togethers have nearly become a thing of the past.One of the last gatherings on my father’s side was at the home of a cousin who has a place in the country on top of a hill. A tent was set up, holding long tables creaking(嘎吱作响) under the weight of fried chicken, potato salad and chocolate cake. A fishing hole waited nearby for the kids. Vehicles poured in from every direction, parking on the drive, the grass, wherever they could find a spot. There was talking and laughing and joking and food.While such gatherings had grown infrequent, we were all happy to be together. Although some of us had not seen one another since so-and-so’s wedding or somebody’s father’s funeral, most people were still easy to recognize. Three sisters who sat together all had the same beautiful skin their mother had. The cousin with bright blue eyes who raced her horse as a teenager still had bright blue eyes. An older cousin who gave me piano lessons when I was young and naughty seemed to have forgiven me. We share a gene pool of people who work hard and laugh often.It was very dark when the last set of taillights disappeared into the night. As we gathered our things, said our goodbyes and prepared to leave, a cousin called to me saying, “Don’t forget where you come from.” I never could. And I’d never try.24.

AdvertisementCNezha is the subject of the latest feature, which officially opens in cinemas in China on Friday. Nezha has earned hot reviews and is ranked higher than Monkey King: Hero is Back. It is also China’s first 3D animated feature film released in IMAX format.Since July 13, previews of the film have taken more than 140 million yuan at the box office and the film has a score of 8.8 points (out of 10) on China’s largest filming rating site, Douban. It took Jokalate Yang Yu, the film’s director and screenwriter, two years to improve the script (剧本) of Nezha, and the film was in production for three years. It is the most complex animated production ever made in China. Nezha has more than 1,300 special effects shots, and it took over 20 Chinese special-effects studios, employing more than 1,600 people, to realize the film’s fairy tale setting, the mysterious Dragon King’s palace and a fight between fire a nd water. One splendid scene alone took two months to complete.Yang made up his mind to produce an animated film on the theme of breaking the traditional styles and changing fate to the opposite. Yang chose Nezha as his vehicle, the representativeof the rebellious (叛逆的) but righteous youth. However, compared with the original novel and past animated versions, the relationships between the characters are given modern meaning. In Yang’s film he is fighting prejudice: Nezha is hated and feared. But Nezha believes his fate is not predetermined and that he can choose to be a devil (恶魔) or a god.“After watching so many domestic animated films, only Nezha and Monkey King: Hero is Back have made me fascinated,” a Weibo user commented under the promotional video.“Epic! I finished watching Nezha in tears. The content-rich story, vivid characters, and amazing visual effects, work together to create a 110-minute roller-coaster (过山车) watching experience,” a Douban user commented.“Bravo! Couldn’t believe a domestic animated film can be created with such a well-developed story. The image of Nezha in this film has been overturned but his rebellious spirit is well-established. I’m sure Nezha is gonna go viral this summer!” reads another comment on Douban.28. What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us?A. Nezha has won lots of comments.B. Nezha is more popular than Monkey King: Hero is Back.C. Nezha is the first 3D animated film.D. Nezha is a big success once released.29. Which is not the reason for Nezha’s success?A. Its hot reviews on Douban.B. Its high qualified script.C. Its large numbers of special effects shots.D. Its creative and unconventional theme.30. What can we learn about Nezha in the new version?A. He is ready to give in to his fate.B. He represents the youth who are rebellious but righteous.C. He is liked deeply by others in the film.D. He chooses to be a devil.31.What do the audience think of the film according to the last three paragraphs?A. The film is fascinating.B. The plot of the film is flat.C. The image and spirit of Nezha have been overturned.D. The film will not go far.DUniversity of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media use to increases in depression and loneliness. The idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years, but not many studies have managed to actually link the two. To do that, Penn researchers, led by psychologist Melissa Hunt, designed a study that focused on WeChat, Snapchat and Instagram.The study was conducted with 143 participants, who before they began, completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens, showing how often they were using their phones to access soci al media. “we set out to do a study which attempts to imitate real life.” Hunt said.The study divided the participants into two groups: The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits. The other, the control group, was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media. The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and then tested fornow comes such as fear of missing out, anxiety, depression and loneliness.The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of depression and loneliness.” Using less social media then you normally do would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness,” Hunt said.Social media invites what Hunt calls “downward social comparison.” “When you’re online, it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and you’re left out,” Hunt said. And that’s just generally discouraging. “Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate.” And the se real life activities are the ones that you can encourage self-esteem and self-worth, Hunt added.“People are on their devices, and that’s not going to change,” she said. But as in life,a bit of control goes a long way.32. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Social media is a good tool for social activity.B. Social media can’t increase people’s social activities.C. Social media is the cause of depression and loneliness.D. No studies about social media and mental health have been done.33. What are the participants required to do?A. To participate in a mood survey first.B. To show how often they use their phones.C. To keep their normal social media habits.D. To stay in the lab for three weeks.34. What can we infer from Hunt’s words in the last two paragraphs?A. Social comparison makes people work harder.B. Social media activities can increase self-esteem and self-worth.C. People will reduce the use of social media.D. controlling the use of social media will make a diff erence to people’s life.35. What is the text mainly about?A. The tendency of using social media.B. The importance of the study on social media.C. The disadvantage of using social media.D. A study on the relationship between social media and mental health.第二节(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项,选项有两项为多余选项。
2020届青岛第十九中学高三英语上学期期中试题及答案解析第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?A. Social reality.B. Female dreams.C. Human emotions.D. Political environment.3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.BThere are similarities and differences between high school life and college life.For one thing, there are several similarities between high school life and collegelife. First, the most important task in high school and college is both studying. Studying is the most important as a student. Second, we need a goal to fight for in both high school life and college life. To lead a meaningful life, we have to set up a goal to achieve.For another, there are also some differences between high school life and college life. First, our studying is also the biggest difference. In high school, we are required to follow our teachers' steps and finish theirassignmentsevery day. While in college, there are no teachers giving such detailed requirements to us and we can choose study or not according to our own willing. What and how to study totally depends on us. Therefore, the ability of self-control is very important in college life. Second, the flexibility (灵活性) of time is another difference. In high school, we have no much leisure except for our time of study. However, in college, we have much controlled by ourselves except the time of classes. And we have more time to do what we like. Finally, college lifeis much more various and richer. Besides study, we can attend many other activities, which make our college life more wonderful.In brief, there are both similarities and differences between high school life and college life. However, no matter we are in which period, we need to make full use of every day so that we will never feel regretful.4. Why do students need a goal to fight in high school and college?A. To enter a good college.B. To avoid living a meaningless life.C. To develop the ability of control.D. To meet their parents’ satisfaction.5. What does the underlined word “assignments” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Projects.B. Tasks.C. Goals.D. Dreams.6. Which is the correct structure of the passage?A. ①-②③-④B. ①②-③-④C. ①-②③④D.①②-③④7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. College LifeB. High School LifeC. High School and CollegeD. High School Life and College LifeCIt was the first day of spring here but it didn't feel like it. The COVID-19 epidemic (流行病) was sweeping the globe and everywhere there were feelings of fear and loneliness. “Social Distancing” had become the new norm. Here the schools had been closed, the restaurant dining rooms had been shut, and people had been told to work from home whenever they could. Even the sheltered workshop where my oldest son worked had been closed until further notice. People had made a run on the stores and large areas of the shelves were bare. On the news the numbers of the sick and dead continued to rise. It felt like there was a weight on the souls of everyone in the world.My family were staying at home as much as possible and as I looked out of my window I wondered how long this crisis would last. It was then, however, that I saw something that lifted that weight off of my soul, made me smile, and made my heart feel happy again. On the street below my house there was an old friend of mine from high school who was a teacher there. With him was my younger son's former aide from the high school as well. They were delivering the school lunches door to door to the hungry children who were stuck at home. Watching them made me think of something everyone's childhood television neighbor, Mr. Roger's once said: "In the bad times, always look for the helpers."I have no doubt that this crisis will pass as all the crisis before. But it is our choice on whether it brings out the best in us or the worst in us. Let it bring out the best in you. Use it to strengthen your faith. Use it to free yourself from fear. Use it to grow kinder, more giving, and more loving. Become a helper to all those in need and you will be a happy person today and all the days to come.8. Why didn't the author like the first day of spring?A. He had to work at home instead of at office.B. There wasn't social distance between each other.C. There was an epidemic everywhere in the world.D. His own company had been closed for a long time.9. How did people feel in the face of the epidemic?A. Disappointed.B. TenseC. Confident.D. Cheerful.10. What made the author happy?A. Seeing someone delivering lunches from door to door.B. Talking with his old friend in the street.C. Watching a childhood television at home.D. Staying together with his family.11. What do Mr. Roger's words actually mean?A. It's not necessary for us to find helpers in bad times.B. In good times we needn't do much to help others.C. We should ask more people to help us in bad times.D. We are supposed to help each other in bad times.DNASA has flown an aircraft on another planet for the first time. On Monday, April 19, Ingenuity, a 1. 8-kilogram drone (无人机) helicopter, took off from the surface of Mars, flew up about threemeters, then hovered for 40 seconds and took photos above with one of its two cameras. The historic moment was livestreamed on YouTube. “We can now say that human beings have flown a drone helicopter on another planet,” said MiMi Aung, the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, at a press conference. “We, together, flew at Mars, and we, together, now have our Wright brothers moment,” she added, referring to the first powered airplane flight on Earth in 1903.The details: The flight was a significant technical challenge, thanks to Mars' s bone-chilling temperatures (nights can drop down to -130 °F / -90 °C) and its incredibly thin atmosphere — just 1% the density of Earth' s. That meant Ingenuity had to be light, with rotor blades (螺旋桨) that were bigger and faster than would be needed to achieve liftoff on Earth (although the gravity on Mars, which is only about one-third of Earth's, worked in its favor). The flight had originally been scheduled to take place on April 11 but was delayed by software issues.Why it's significant: Beyond being a significantmilestonefor Mars exploration, the flight will also pave the way for engineers to think about new ways to explore other planets. Future drone helicopters could help astronauts by scoping out locations, exploring inaccessible areas, and capturing images. Ingenuity will also help inform the design of Dragonfly, a car-size drone that NASA is planning to send to Saturn's moon Titan in 2027.What's next: In the next few weeks, Ingenuity will conduct four more flights, each lasting up to 90 seconds. Each one is designed to further push the limits of Ingenuity's capabilities. Ingenuity is only designed to last for 30 Martian days, and is expected to stop functioning aroundMay 4. Its final resting place will be in the Jezero Crater as NASA moves on to the main focus of its mission: Getting the Perseverance rover (毅力号火星探测器) to study Mars for evidence of life.12. Why does MiMi Aung mention Wright brothers?A. To honor the historic contribution of Wright brothers.B. To make a comparison between Wright brothers and herself.C. To highlight the importance of Ingenuity's Martian exploration.D. To remind the public of the first powered airplane flight on Earth.13. What caused challenges for Ingenuity designers?A. The delay of software tests.B. The force of gravity on Mars.C. Mars's temperatures and atmosphere.D. Technical difficulty in liftoff on Earth.14. What does the underlined word “milestone” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. A great victory.B. A difficult task.C. A roadside stone.D. A historic event.15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A. Mars Drone Helicopter Makes Historic First FlightB. Modern Wright Brothers Moment: Mars ExplorationC. First Drone Helicopter Spots Evidence of Life on MarsD. Ingenuity: Mars Drone Flies to Take Incredible Pictures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。
青岛市2020年高三年级统一质量检测英语试题第一部分阅读(共两节, 满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分,满分37. 5分)阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
AMovie theaters around the world have closed during the coronations outbreak. Fortunately, there's never been a better time to catch up on classic old movies. Below, read our picks for best travel movies:‘Thelma and Louise’ (1991)“Thelma and Louise,” is a tale of female friendship, and the screen is dominated by the film's two lead females. The pals from small-town Arkansas hit the road on a weekend quest in search of fun and freedom from their jobs and their boredom.Filmed in California and Utah, with the best Grand Canyon scenes filmed south of Dead Horse Point State Park, “Thelma and Louise”is a good option if you have never been out West or if you have and eager to return.‘Grand Budapest Hotel’ (2014)It's one of the most satisfying films of director Wes Anderson all works. Set in a luxury ski resort in the fictional East European Republic of Zubrowka in the 1930s, the plot is supported by a murder investigation filled with stolen art, prison escapes and a secret concierge (看门人) society.Though the hotel doesn't actually exist, much of the film was shot in the beautiful German town of Goerlitz, famed for its medieval streets.‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone’ (200)When Harry Potter runs through a column at King's Cross railway station in London to get to Platform 9 3/4, we know it isn't real. And yet we want to visit.The movie's locations are inspired by real places, as graduates of English private schools will tell you: rushing down narrow old streets to visit tea houses and sandwich shops, discovering books that are hundreds of years old.‘The Trip to Italy’ (2014)In this film, you're on an extraordinary road trip along with two old friends. The route is from Piedmont via Rome to Amalfi, back to Naples and finally the tony island of Capri. Retracing the footsteps of romantic poets Byron and Shelley, they drive a Mini Cooper through the breathtaking country and alongside stiff seaside cliffs.1. If you are interested in the scenery of American west, which film can you choose to watch?A. Thelma and Louise.B. Grand Budapest Hotel.C. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.D. The Trip to Italy.2. Which place mentioned in the films can't be found in real life?A. Goerlitz.B. Grand Budapest Hotel.C. Capri.D. Dead Horse Point State Park.3. Why does the author write this passage?A. To introduce some places to travel.B. To introduce the newly released films.C. To recommend some travel movies to watch.D. To show the attractive scenery mentioned in the films.1.【答案】A2.【答案】B3.【答案】CBIn life,once on a path,we tend to follow it,for better or worse. What's sad is that even if it's the latter,we often accept it anyway because we are so used to the way things are that wed don't even recognize that they could be different This is a phenomenon psychologist call functional fixedness.This classic experiment will give you an idea of how it works and a sense of whether you may have fallen into the same trap:People are given a box of tacks (大头钉) and some matches and asked to find a way to attach a candle to a wall so that it burns properly. Typically, the subjects try tacking the candle to the wall or lighting it to fix it with melted wax. The psychologists had, of course, arranged it so that neither of these obvious approaches would work. The tacks are too short, and the paraffin (石蜡) doesn't stick to the wall. So how can you complete the task? The successful technique is to use the tack box as a candle-holder. You empty it, tack it to the wall. and stand the candle inside it. To think of that, you have to look beyond the box's usual role as a receptacle just for tacks and re-imagine it serving an entirely new purpose. That is difficult because we all suffer to one degree or another from functional fixedness.The inability to think in new ways affects people in every corner of society. The political theorist Hannah Are ndt coined the phrase “frozen thoughts” to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should. In Arendt's eyes, the self- content reliance on such accepted “truths” also made people blind to ideas that didn't fit their worldview, even when there was plenty of evidence for them.Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence, she said, “It can be found in highly intelligent people.”4. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The experiment.B. Functional fixedness.C. The path.D. The thinking.5. Which way is hard to think of to complete the task?A. Tacking the candle to the wall.B. Fixing the candle with melted wax.C. Using the tack box as a candle-holder.D. Lighting the candle to stand it.6. Which of the following statements will Hannah Arendt agree with?A. People should question.B. We should be used to the way things are.C. People shouldn't accept the idea that doesn't fit their worldview.D. The smarter people are,the more open to the new things they are.7. What's the passage mainly about?A. An interesting experimentB. A psychological phenomenon.C. A theory to be proved.D. The opinion of Hannah Arendt.4.【答案】B5.【答案】C6.【答案】A7.【答案】BCJapan's biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn't traveling at all. For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot—called an Avatar—that's controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc., it looks like a vacuum cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter's face as they chat, and its wheels let her move about the house as though she's really there.“Virtual travel” is nothing new,of course.Storytellers, travel writers and artists have b een stimulating the senses of armchair tourists for centuries. It's only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the non- wealthy.Yet even as the world's middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seat, there are signs of a post-travel society emerging. Concerns about environmental sustainability cause loss to airlines which release much carbon. And the aging of abundant societies is both restricting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends.Of course, new technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn't plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult to make: By one estimate, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANA's traditional travel business brought in more than $19billion last year.But if the business value for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand. ANA's robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they ll almost certainly be a part of travel's high-tech future.8. Why does the author use the example of a couple interacting with a robot?A. To show the Japanese are crazy about travel.B. To indicate virtual travel begins to enter people's real life.C. To show the couple are very enthusiastic over robots.D. To express the close relationship between the couple and their daughter.9. Which of the following is the possible reason for virtual travel's appearance?A. Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been using it for centuries.B. Frequent and safe travel has become available to the ordinary people.C. People are worried about the air pollution caused by airlines.D. More and more people lose interest in travel.10. What can we learn about Avatars from the last two paragraphs?A. They will be put on the market soon.B. They will bring ANA a lot of money,C. They will replace ANA's airplanes soon.D. They are almost unavoidable in travel's future.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Your Next Travel May Be VirtualB. Easy Travel in the FutureC. Virtual Travel BenefitsD. Air Travel Disappearing8. 【答案】B9. 【答案】C10.【答案】D11.【答案】ADRick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashioned Photographer to turn his lens (镜头) to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences.He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino (白化病) girl .“1 was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful.

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word: for the other blanks. use one word that best fits each blank.Plants Scream in the Face of StressFor the first time, researchers appear to have evidence that like animals, those plants deprived of water or (21)__________(force)to endure bodily harm can let out their pain. The study. (22)_________ has yet to be published in a scientific Journal, adds another dimension to scientists(23)________ (grow)understanding of how plants detect and interact with their surroundings.In recent years, it has become very clear that plants are more sensitive than researchers (24)_________ (think). They respond when touched by insects and turn toward sources of light. “Plants are not just robotic stimulus-response devices,” said Frantisek Baluska of the University of Bonn in Germany. “They’re living organisms which have their own problems.”Actually making their suffering hearable, however, is another matter entirely.(25)________(test) that possibility, a team led by Itzhak Khait, a plant scientist at Tel Aviv University in Israel, placed microphones capable of detecting ultrasonic frequencies(超声波频率) four inches from tomato and tobacco plants. The researcher then either stopped watering them or cut their stems.Measuring in the range of 20 to 150 kilohertz (千赫) the researchers found that even happy healthy plants madethe occasional noise. But when cut, tobacco plants emitted (26)_________average of 15 sounds within an hour of being cut, (27)_________tomato plants produced 25 sounds.(28)_______researchers aren’t yet sure how plants produce these sounds, Khait and his colleagues proposed one possibility in their paper (29)____________as water travels through the plants' tubes, air bubbles will form and explode, producing small vibrations.All this “screaming” caused by stress wasn’t in a range detectable by human ears. But organisms that can hear ultrasonic frequencies like mice, bats or perhaps other plants (30)________possibly hear the plants cries from as far away as 15 feet.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Italians find “Moments of Joy in this Moment of Anxiety”It started with the national anthem. Then came the piano chords, trumpet blasts, violin serenades(小夜曲) and even the clanging of pots and pans--all of it (31)_________from people’s homes, out of windows and from balconies, and resounding across rooftops.Finally, on Saturday afternoon, a nationwide (32)__________of applause broke out for the doctors on the medical front lines fighting the spread of Europe’s worst coronavirus outbreak.Italians remain (33)_________under house arrest as the nation, the European front in the global fight against the coronavirus, has ordered extraordinary restrictions on their movement to prevent infection.But the music and noise erupting over the streets, from people (34)_________in their homes, reflects the spirit, resilience and humor of a nation facing its worst national emergency since the Second World War.To the extent that this is a virus that tries people' s souls, it has also demonstrated the (35)__________of those national characters.In China, patriotic truck drivers risked infection to bring(36)_________needed food to the people of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak. In Iran, videos show doctors in full combat dress and masks dancing to keep (37)_______up. And in Italy, the gestures of gratitude and music ring out above the country’s empty streets, while social media feeds fill with (38)___________, sentimental and humorous web videos.Images of nurses collapsed from exhaustion or their faces bruised(使受瘀伤) from tightly(39)________maskshave also spread across the web in recent days. Parents posted pictures of unicorns and rainbows drawn by young children with the title “It will all be OK.”“We’re Italians, and loving singing is part of our culture,” said Giorgio Albertini, 51, an archaeology professor who clapped from his apartment balcony in the university district of Milan, calling it a way “to feel a community, and to have the (40)_________grief.”Ⅲ Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Making choices is hard. That would be why researcher Moran Cerf has (41)_________it from his life. As a rule, he always chooses the second menu item at a restaurant.This is (42)___________by his research in neuroeconomics(神经经济学)( a somewhat new, divisive field) at Northwestern University. As Business Insider describes, Cerf has extended his ideas which draw on some controversial ideas in psychology, including ego depletion out into a piece of advice that, to (43)_________happiness, people should "build a life that requires (44)________decisions by surrounding themselves with people who possess traits they prefer.On an instinctive level, Cerf’s idea (45)_____________: Many choices people make are the product of social pressures and the inputs of (46)___________people around them. One example Cerf furnishes is that, (47)________consistently ordering the second menu item. he never picks where to eat. Rather, he (48)________his decision to his dining partner which friend he plans to eat with, probably one he trusts and always lets them pick.While it's (49)__________what, if any, scientific principles underlie those pieces of advice, there is no shortage of research showing that choices can sometimes feel more(50)_______than liberating. An example from Quanta poits (假设): If you have a clear love of Snickers(士力架), choosing that over an Almond Joy(杏仁巧克力) or a Milky Way(牛奶巧克力) should be a(51)________. And, as an experiment conducted by neuroscientist Paul Glimcher at NYU shows, most of the time it is, (52)_________you introduce more choices. When the participants were offered three candy bars (Snickers, Milky Way, and Almond Joy) they had no problem picking their favorite, but when they were given the option of one among 20, including Snickers, they would sometimes drift away from their (53)_____. When the choices were taken away in later trials. the participants would wonder what caused them to make such a bad decision.As Quanta details, according to a model called" 'divisive normalization(分裂归一化), which has gained some popularity, the way the brain encodes choices has a lot to do with how it values all its options. So, if you have twothings that are clearly (54)___________, brain areas involved in decision-making fire in a pattern that makes the decision clear. When the choices are comparable. the brain does its best to focus on the distinctions between the two, but more choices (55)_________ that ability out.41. A. relieved B. released C. eliminated D. liberated42. A. influenced B. inherited C. implemented D. informed43. A. maximize B. balance C. cherish D. seek44. A safer B. fewer C. better D. sounder45.

For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One spring day, once the flowers have begun to open, a bee will hover (盘旋)and zip through your yard and dive-bomb your picnic table. While you're thinking about avoiding an attack, that bee is focused on something else entirely: me.A honeybee has about six weeks to live. Today, like most days, her task is to fly as many as three miles from home. stick her long. straw like tongue into a hundred or so flowers. When the bee has had her fill. she’ll fly home. There the bee will deposit what she has got into the mouth of one of her co-workers, who will relay it to another, and so on for about 20 minutes, until the mixture is ready to be placed into the comb. Then she and her 50.000 or so mates will hover in the dark all night every night, flapping their wings to create hot, breezy conditions to remove the waterfrom the mixture. Several sunrises later, they will seal me off in a golden cell of beeswax. In her lifetime, our bee may visit 4,000 flowers, and yet will produce only one-twelfth a tea spoon of me.The average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of me every year, in tea, on toast, and beyond. If I do say so myself, I am a timeless treasure. Literally I never go bad.Unfortunately, my good health is not guaranteed. The problem lies in the growth of industrial agriculture and the use of pest control chemicals, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit. I’d appreciate your letting your own garden grow just a little wild. My future depends on all of us fostering spring and summers wild flowers, thus helping the bees, who give so much to you, to me without ever asking for anything in return.56. What does “me” refer to in the passage?A. The flower.B. The bee.C. Water. D Honey.57. What is the 2nd paragraph mainly about?A. Bees’ special talent.B. Bees’ hard work.C. Bees’ living environment.D. Bees’ social behavior.58. Which one of the following is true according to the passage?A. A bee will always prioritize attacking picnic lovers.B. Before “me” is sealed off in beeswax, the drying process can take a few nights.C. The lifework of a bee satisfies the average demand of an American consumer annually.D. Bees are more likely to visit those deliberately pest-controlled gardens59. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To appeal for help for honeybees.B. To talk about the history of a treasure.C. To put forward techniques for gardeners.D. To argue against the control of chemicals.(B)Get Your Unlimited Card at Cineworld CinemasEnjoy Unlimited FilmsWatch all the films you want at any Cineworld for just one monthly price.Being an Unlimited card holder gives you access to all the 2D films you canhandle for one monthly price.

If it extends further south overpopulated areas, such as southern Greenland, people would be at increased risk of sunburn. However, on current trends the hole is expected to disappear altogether in a few weeks.Low temperatures in the northern polar regions led to an unusual stable polar vortex(极地漩涡) and the presence of ozone-destroying chemicals such as chlorine(氯)in the atmosphere-from human activities caused the hole to form.“The hole is principally a geophysical curiosity.” said Vincent-Henri Peuch, director of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service. “We monitored unusual dynamic(动态的)conditions, which drive the process of chemical depletion of ozone. Those dynamics allowed for lower temperatures and a more stable vortex than usual over the Arctic, which then triggered the formation of polar stratospheric(平流层的)clouds and the catalytic(催化的) destruction of ozone.”The hole is not related to the Covid-19 shutdowns that have dramatically cut air pollution and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. It is also too early to say whether the unusually stable Arctic polar vortex conditions are linked with the climate crisis, or part of normal stratospheric weather variability.Peuch said there were no direct implications for the climate crisis. Temperatures in the region are already increasing, slowing the depletion of ozone, and the hole will start to recover as polar air mixes with ozone rich air from lower latitudes. The last time similar conditions were observed was in spring 2011.While a hole over the Arctic is a rare event, the much larger hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic has been a major cause for concern for more than four decades. The production of ozone depleting chemicals has been dramatically reduced, under the1987 Montreal Protocol(蒙特利尔协议), but some sources appear still to be functioning in 2018unauthorized emissions were detected from some areas.New sources of ozone depleting chemicals were not a factor in the hole observed in the Arctic, said Peuch. “However, this is a reminder that one should not take the Montreal Protocol measures for granted and that observations from the ground and from satellites are central to avoid a situation where the ozone destroying chemical level in the stratosphere could increase again.”63. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “depletion”?A. replacement.B. consumption.C. increase.D. production.64. According to the passage, scientists are concerned about the hole because____________.A. it is expected to be a threat to the mankind.B. the new hole is caused by air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.C. it may encourage further scientific research and environmental awareness.D. it wars us of an oncoming climate crisis.65. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?A. The hole over the Arctic shares the same causes as the one over the Antarctic.B. Human activities are highly responsible for producing ozone-destroying chemicals.C. The Montreal Protocol has successfully prevented new emissions.D. Some new illegal emissions are to blame for the hole over the Arctic.66. The best title for the passage is probably_________.A. Record-size Hole Opens in Ozone Layer above the Arctic.B Actions Urgently Needed for a New Hole in Ozone Layer.C Environmental Disaster and International Cooperation.D. How a Hole in Ozone Affects our Life on Earth.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.People like to post their selfies(自拍照)on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behaviors connected to narcissism, the researchers said. (67)_________Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University. said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.(68)_________Some people feel “peer pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience. it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. (69)_______Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. (70)__________On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos even if they click “like”.TV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage, Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.It's natural to feel the need to control something when everything around you feels out of control, and you feel helpless. When a friend of mine first heard about the coronavirus outbreak. she got down on her hand. and knees and cleaned her kitchen floor. She told me, “My floor wasn’t even dirty, but doing something constructive made me feel in control and that I was holding on to my power, despite the desperate circumstances.”Your most powerful weapon against uncertainty is your perspective because nobody and no situation can take that from you unless you give it away. Your perspective can victimize or empower you. When you look for the upside in a downside situation and figure out what you can control and what you can't, it's easier to accept whatever is beyond your control.高三英语调研测试(试卷参考答案)I Listening ComprehensionSection A1-5 BDBCB6-10 CBCCDSection B11-13 AAC14-16 BAD17-20 ACDCII.

Summary WritingFor reference:Strengthening or retrieving a sense of control is a natural demand. First, good perspective is of the greatest help, for evaluating the situation properly brings a clearer picture. Second, kind behaviors during tough times can secure you a sense of control as well. Third, actions and thoughts of positivity also help as they may create hope and optimism.It's essential to feel you can control something in a crisis or emergency. Positive perspective is the most important, since it will ensure you confidence and power to pull through the difficult situation. Then doing small good deeds can free you from worry temporarily by helping others. Lastly. take some positive action to arouse the hope within you.V. Translation72. Never before have we been so eager/keen to go to school as we are now.73. Why not do something you love but don’t have time to do since you can only stay at home?74.

From snow-capped ski resorts to sunny islands, these are the hottest travel destinations to visit this winter.St. LuciaLonging for a tropical (热带的)getaway? Set your sights on St. Lucia. With Kayak reporting a 197 percent surge (激增)in interest, this Eastern Caribbean island nation is on the verge of blowing up.Which shouldn't be a shock given that it delivers a mix of volcanic coastline, lush rainforests, dramatic mountains, coral reefs, and high-end resorts. Simply put:whether you're seeking romance or adventure, you'll find it in St. Lucia.Mexico City, MexicoWith mouth-watering food, fashionable hotels, superb shopping, and tons of historic sites, Mexico City is definitely one to add to your list for the upcoming winter season. Since it's a major international airport, you can usually score flight deals.New York CityWhile there's no bad month to experience the Big Apple, the frosty season is particularly magical. Guess that's why New York City ranks among the most searched winter travel destinations, according to Expedia. The most cherished attractions? The ice skating rink(溜冰场)at Rockefeller Center and sledding in Central Park.Paris“Many people frequent Paris in spring and summer,” reveals Hudson. “The trade-off for picture-perfect weather? Long lines at museums, plus a Metro chock-full of map-totingtourists. ” Based on Expedia data, the cheapest month to go to Paris is February. Our advice? Pack your most fashionable raincoat and let the winter sadness fade away in the City of Light. 1.Where will you go if you long for a risky trip?A.St. Lucia. B.Mexico City, Mexico.C.New York City. D.Paris.2.What is special about Mexico City?A.Its weather is always great.B.It often offers discounted air tickets.C.It provides magical experience in winter.D.It is the most searched winter travel destination.3.What can we learn about Paris?A.It is a fashionable city.B.Its climate is quite perfect.C.Its winter sports are attractive.D.It is a popular tourist destination in spring.In 2011, during his freshman year at the University of Maryland, Simon was struck by how much food was thrown away in the college cafeteria. " I was shocked to see someone buy a full sandwich, eat half of it, and throw the other half out," said Simon. "It was not the values I grew up with. " To him, discarded food was a "natural goldmine” he could source to do good.Four years later, Simon cofounded Imperfect Produce, a subscription-basedhome-de livery service for discounted “ugly" fruits and vegetables that are perfectly good on the inside, but otherwise rejected from the food supply chain for their looks.“Up to 20% of the fruits and vegetables grown on farms in America are thrown away because the produce doesn't meet grocery stores" standards," said Simon. "It's often for discoloration, scarring on the surface caused by the fruit rubbing against a tree limb or an atypical shape,” he said. "Sometimes it's the size. " Simon, 29, and Chesler, 27, d ecided to source this "ugly" produce directly from farms and deliver it to customers for about 30% less than conventional grocery store prices. "The reason why we created Imperfect Produce as a direct-to-consumer business is because grocery stores didn't w ant to partner with us,” said Simon. “So we became our own store. " The San Francisco-based service launched in August 2015. Today, Imperfect Producehas more than 200,000 subscribers in 22 cities. The company sources its produce from 250 growers nationwide, and slightly more than half of it is organic. To date, Simon said the service has helped recover 40 million pounds of food from going to waste.Simon declined to disclose income but said this year's sales are expected to double last year's. The business is not yet profitable, but he hopes to expand the service to 40 cities by the end of 2019 and eventually take the company public at some point.4.What does the underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Wasted.

D.They are not good inside.6.What made Simon create Imperfect Produce as a direct-to-consumer business?A.High price offered by him.B.The wish to set up his own business.C.His desire to offer service to others.D.Grocery stores" unwillingness to cooperate with him.7.What can be inferred about Simon?A.He wants to help the poor.B.He thinks a lot about the wasted food.C.He has expanded his service to 40 cities.D.He expects to make profits from his business.North America's birds are disappearing from the skies at a rate that's shocking even to ornithologists (鸟类学家).Since the 1970s, the continent has lost 3 billion birds, nearly 30% of the total, and even common birds such as sparrows and blackbirds are in decline, U.S. and Canadian researchers report this week online in Science. The findings raise fears that some familiar species could go the way of the passenger pigeon, a species once so abundant that its extinction in the early 1900s seemed unthinkable.The results, ever done to North American birds, point to ecosystems in disorder because of habitat loss and other factors, researchers say. Yet ecologist Paul Ehrlich at Stanford University, California sees some hope in this new bad news: “ It might encourage needed actionin view of the public interest in our feathered friends. ”In past decades, Ehrlich and others have recorded the decline of particular bird groups, including migratory songbirds. All together, they studied 529 bird species, about three-quarters of all species in North America, accounting for more than 90% of the entire bird population. Rosenberg and his colleagues report Grassland birds have declined by 53% since 1970—a loss of 700 million adults in the 31 species studied. Habitat loss may be to blame.The familiar birds that flock by the thousands in suburbs were not exempt(例外). “There's a decline of the numbers of common birds,” Rosenberg says. His team determ ined that 19 common species have each lost more than 50 million birds since 1970. Twelve groups, including sparrows, warblers, finches, and blackbirds, were particularly hard hit. Even introduced species that have increased in North America, such as starlings and house sparrows, are losing ground.8.What is happening to North America's birds?A.Most of them are dying out. B.Some of them are decreasing. C.They are disappearing quickly. D.They are raising fears to humans. 9.What does Paul Ehrlich mean?A.The bad news will bring interest to the birds.B.The bad news might alarm people to take action.C.North America's birds need our help.D.North America's birds suffered great loss.10.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.Some common birds are also decreasing.B.Some birds die from losing their habitat.C.The research team found some unusual things.D.The research team studied birds in North America.11.In which section of a website may this text appear?A.Environment. B.Health.C.Education. D.Science.Yellow is usually the color of happy, joyful emotions. But according to a new study, not all people associate sunshine with good atmosphere.To find out what factors might play a role, researchers tested a new hypothesis (假设):What if people's physical surroundings affect their feelings about certain colors? For instance, if someone lived in cold and rainy Finland, would they feel differently about the color yellow from someone who lived near the Sahara Desert? The researchers looked atcolor-emotion data from an ongoing international survey of 6,625 people in 55 countries. The survey asks participants to rate 12 colors on how closely they are associated with feelings including joy, pride, fear and shame.The team looked only at the data for yellow, and analyzed how different factors—including hours of sunshine, hours of daylight, and amount of rainfall—lined up with the emotions people reported for the color. The two best predictors of how people felt about yellow were the annual amount of rainfall, and how far they lived from the equator (⾚道),the teamreports this month in the Journal of Environmental Psychology,The farther someone lived from the equator, the more likely they were to appreciate some bright colors: In Egypt, the likelihood of yellow being associated with joy was just 5. 7% , whereas in rather cold Finland it was 87. 7% . In the United States, with its moderate climate and amber(黄褐⾊)waves of grain, people's yellow-joy association levels were between 60% and 70% .The team also checked whether associations changed with the season---whether, for example, people in a certain country liked yellow more in the winter than they did in the summer. The researchers found that opinions about color remained fairly constantyear-round—even when the weather changed, the data on yellow-joy associations were as good as gold.12.Who did the researchers survey to test the hypothesis?A.People in Finland.B.Travelers in the United States.C.Someone living near the Sahara Desert.D.Many people from different countries.13.What may affect the emotions associated with yellow most?A.Hours of sunshine. B.Hours of daylight.C.Amount of rainfall. D.Seasons in a year.14.Who are more likely to appreciate bright colors?A.People living in warm areas. B.People growing up in Egypt. C.People growing yellow grains. D.People living far from the equator.15.What is the text mainly about?A.Yellow is the color of happiness and joy.B.Researchers did a survey on the color yellow.C.A study shows the connection between emotion and yellow can vary.D.Different people have different emotions to the color yellow.⼆、完形填空My name is Matthew. 1 don't have many 16 because I'm a terrible liar.

recognized for her efforts to make music accessible to all students,particularly those with disabilities.Ray got to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles and bring home a$10,000prize.Ray created the Crescendo Orchestra for students with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities,as well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly200caregivers a year to play the same instrument as their child.Ray also works with a local charity to give damaged instruments a second life in her classroom.The orchestra is about much more than just making music.The most important is to give students a chance to develop their cooperation skills,make mistakes and learn the art of refining something.Ray pushes her students to be brave,go outside their comfort zone and realize they have to learn how to make bad sounds before learning how to make good sounds.And they teach her a lot in return.”They changed my educational philosophy.I understand what it truly means to meet a student where they’re at and apply that elsewhere,”she said.The warm reception on the ceremony was meaningful.Actually,not many people understand what exactly music educators do or how much their work matters.While her administration is supportive,that lack of understanding is a problem facing the profession in general.Another is resources.She says her school“desperately”needs new instruments.She will use some of her prize money to buy more.Ray also plans to put some of the money towards an ongoing scholarship for students who want to pursue music when they graduate.She knows of several,those particularly interested in music,and aims to offer financial support needed to realize their musical dreams”It is hard but truly satisfying,”Ray said.“And there’s nothing else like it for them.”4.What can we learn

theirconnections with educators.6.What is paragraph4of the text mainly about?A.The reception on the ceremony.B.Importance of music education.C.Challenges for music educators.D.Plans to obtain resources.7.What does Ray find satisfying according to the last paragraph?A.Winning a scholarship.B.Developing interest in music.C.Making musical achievements.D.Transforming dreams into reality.An ancient Latin proverb says“Aquila non capit muscas”—cagles don’t hunt flies—meaning that important ones shouldn’t concern themselves with small,insignificant matters.But the lions in East Africa should concern themselves with the seemingly insignificant ants,because these ants are changing their lifestyles.The story starts with the acacia trees(金合欢树)in an African wildlife area in central KenyaSome of these acacia trees provide food and shelter for specific ant species,which in turn defend the tree against herbivores(食草动物).The ants are actively attacking and driving away herbivores that attempt to feed on the tree’s leavesThis is highly effective;the ants not only physically harm the herbivores but also release chemicals that can deter other potential attackers.But these ants are in trouble.Another species called the“big-headed”ant is destroying entire groups of tree-protecting ants.This,in turn,sets off an entire chain of events that ends up influencing when and how lions can hunt.This ant invasion(入侵)affects one thing after the other.It leaves the acacia trees defenseless against herbivores especially elephants.The elephants come in and eat the acacias at five to seven times the rate observed in uninvaded areas.The lions,while hunting for food, have no more trees to use for hiding.This reduced tree cover makes lions less successful at hunting and pushes them to find different areas to hunt in.“These tiny invaders are pulling on the ties that put an African ecosystem together,determining who is eaten andwhere,”said Todd Palmer,an ecologist from Florida.The lions,which are already endangered,are managing to cope with this by no longer focusing their attention on zebras.The zebras,of course,can see them much better on the approach given the lack of cover.Instead,they are targeting water buffalo.But this also isn’t the end of the story.Who knows what the lions’changing strategy will mean for the ecosystem down the line?8.What does the underlined word“deter”in paragraph2mean?A.Direct.B.Discourage.C.Identify.D.Seek. 9.What role do the elephants play in the chain reaction?A.Cooperating with“big-headed”ants.B.Damaging the hiding place for lions.C.Protecting the acacias from herbivores.D.Starting off the disturbance of the chain. 10.The author mentions lions,zebras and water buffalo to show that______.A.animals fall victim to bigger ones B.the ecology is on the road to recovery C.animals are corelated in the ecosystem D.species are firmly positioned in the food chain11.What is the text mainly about?A.What ecologists find about animals.B.Why African lions are endangered.C.How tiny ants affect the way lions hunt.D.How the law of the jungle works inAfrica.At a conference last week,I received an interesting piece of advice:“Assume you are wrong.”The advice came from Brian Nosek,a fellow psychology professor.He wasn’t objecting to any particular claim I’d made—he was offering a strategy for pursuing better science,and for encouraging others to do the same.To understand the context for Nosek’s advice,we need to take a step back—to the nature of science itself.Despite what many of us learned in elementary school,there is no single scientific method.Just as scientific theories change,so do scientific methods.Assuming you are right might be a motivating force,sustaining the enormous effort that conducting scientific work requires.But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal attacks,and for scientific arguments to develop into personal battles.Beginning, instead,from the assumption you are wrong,a criticism is easier to be viewed as a helpful pointer,a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong—a goal that your critic probablyshares.Nosek’s advice may sound pessimistic,but it’s not so foreign to science.Philosophers of science sometimes refer to the“pessimistic meta-induction(元归纳)”on the history of science:All of our past scientific theories have been wrong,so surely our current theories will turn out to be wrong,too.That doesn’t mean we haven’t made progress,but it does indicate that there is always room for improvement—ways to be less wrong.I like the advice because it builds in an awareness of our limitations and a readiness to accept the unknown(“there are things I do not know!”)along with a sense that we can do better(“there are things I do not know yet!”).It also builds in a sense of community—we’re all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right.Perhaps the focus on a shared goal—our goal as scientists and humans of being less wrong—can help make up for any harm in scientific motivation or communication.12.Why did Nosek send the advice?A.To express opinions about my claims.B.To remind me to be open to criticism.C.To encourage me to take up science.D.To better my understanding ofpsychology.13.How does assuming you are wrong help?A.It motivates scientists to make efforts.B.It addresses personal attacks andconflicts.C.It sets a constructive improvement goal.D.It contributes to a deeper insight into yourself.14.What does the author think of science theories?A.Dynamic.B.Testable.C.Pioneering.D.Well-established.15.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Accept the Unknown B.Aim to Be Less WrongC.Get Engaged in Psychology D.Dig into the Nature of ScienceWhen you think of your closest friends,who will come to your mind?Perhaps your college roommates or the neighbor you played with as a child.Regardless of how you met these people,they most likely have one key thing in common:16A2023study found that,for those aged21to30,over80percent in their social circles,were born withinfive years of them.Moreover,nearly63percent of adults have no close friends15years older or younger than them.Spending our time with such a narrow group of people can fuel age segregation and increase our loneliness.These limitations also keep us from other generations’mindsets and potentially surprising points of connection.17Of course,the ones that are older might offer a brief look into the coming years.A program that runs schools out of senior centers has said a lot about it.18 Dawn Carr,a sociology professor,said most older people get much from practical help—with new technology,for instance—their younger friends offered.19Having fun with someone decades younger definitely takes off their pressure to“act their age”.20Lila,aged75,was proud that her life experiences prepared her to give advice to her young friend with depression,for which the young was grateful.Also,older friends offer more examples of what growing up can look like.If someone’s parents are the only older people they know well,they might fail to picture other possibilities.A greater pool of older friends can help young people create their own blueprint.A.You befriend those who live around.B.They’re all roughly the same age as you.C.Others might find joy in exposure to new ideas.D.Brought closer,both see more than one benefit.E.Younger friends can be a reminder of past selves.F.Forming these kinds of friendship is particularly hard today.G.Indeed,intergenerational relationship is never a one-way street.二、完形填空When my father was a teenager,he had been declared a prodigy(天才)by his art teacher.

BIn recent years,stressed-out people living in cities have been seeking protection in green spaces for the proven positive impacts on physical and mental health,but the benefits of"blue space"-the sea and coastline,but also rivers,lakes,canals,waterfalls,even fountains-are less well advertised, yet the science has been consistent for at least a decade:being by water is good for body and mind."Many of the processes are exactly the same as with green space-with some added benefits," says Dr Mathew White,a senior lecturer at the University of Exeter.White says there are three established pathways by which the presence of water is positively related to health and happiness.First,there are the beneficial environmental factors,such as less polluted air and more sunlight.Second,people who live by water tend to be more physically active. Third-and this is where blue space seems to have an advantage over other natural environments-water has a psychological recovery effect.When you are sailing,surfing or swimming,says White,"you're really in step with natural forces there."Catherine Kelly is a wellness practitioner who teaches classes in"mindfulne ss by the sea”.She says the sea has a quality that can make people thoughtful."To go to the sea means letting go"says Kelly."It could be lying on a beach or somebody handing you a cocktail.For somebody else,it could be a wild,empty coast.But there is this really human sense of:'Oh, look,there's the sea-and the shoulders drop."4. Why are blue spaces less popular than green spaces?A. Because green spaces are good to people's health.B. Because little research has been done on blue spaces.C. Because green spaces have more benefits than blue spaces.D. Because the benefits of green spaces are better advertised.5. Where is blue space superior to other natural environments according to White?A. Where there's water,there's fresh air.B. People living near water are healthier.C. Water can help people restore mental health.D. The sea can make people lost in deep thought.6. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The sea will bring you loneliness.B. The sea will hurt your shoulder.C. The sea will put you at ease.D. The sea will make you feel down.7. What does the author mainly want to tell us?A. People in cities prefer green spaces.B. Blue spaces help both physically and mentally.C. Green spaces have been out of date.D. Ways to keep us healthy.【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. B【解析】这是一篇说明文。
