There is a popular notion that a college education is something to be endured in order to become __50__ to obtain certain kinds of jobs or to go to graduate school. This is not what we are trying to do at Harvard, nor would we wish to have many students here who took such a（n）__51__ view of a college career.There are several goals we aim to reach in our undergraduate program.The most obvious one is to give knowledge —fairly __52__ knowledge in one field and a more general knowledge of a variety of other subject areas which you may choose according to your interest. But if acquiring knowledge is a self-evident part of a college education, it is __53__the most important. Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your __54__ for many years, and some of those that do will even be proved __55__ by new knowledge.__56__, we can instill（灌输） certain attitudes of mind —a willingness to accept uncertainty, and the lack of definite truths; independence of mind, and a respect for facts and for the uncomfortable conclusions which facts sometimes lead to.In addition to these __57__ qualities, a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of __58__ time. Some of this capacity can be stimulated in the classroom—in courses in the humanities and the arts. Yet, at least as much __59__ will occur outside the lecture hall—on athletic fields, in music rooms, student theaters, concert halls, and so forth.These are some of the __60__ of a liberal college education as I see them. I cannot resist concluding with a few private thoughts about our new careers at Harvard.To begin with, I hope that we will think __61__ about what we want to accomplish here. It would be__62__ for you to set your sights on some limited goal, such as getting good grades or merely getting into one or another graduate school.Second, I hope that you will give some thought to what you can do for others during your stay here. There are many problems waiting for your help, and many people who could __63__ your efforts.My final bit of advice. Whatever else we do, let us remember not to take ourselves too seriously. However great our problems may seem, however urgent our complaints, they are overshadowed （矍音然失色）by the __64__ of countless other people on our planet.50.

As a result, it killed an 50 forty million people. This disease has come to be known as the Black Death. Its victims suffered a horribly painful death 51 by fever and dying, blackened flesh.Although they are not certain, many historians agree that the Black Death probably originated in China and spread through trade 52 , carried by fleas （跳蚤）found on rats.Rats are very common in cities, so these areas were hit the hardest. The disease passed to humans when the fleas would jump from the rats to a human host.Every social group suffered from the Black Death---it was not a discriminating （有识另U 力的）disease. But those who lived in rural settings were sometimes 53 , as were the wealthy,who had less 54 with outsiders and could afford to move to more remote areas in an 55 to spare themselves.The Black Death had many long-term 56 . Certain areas of Europe were nearly57_ after it, including some of its prosperous cities. For example, Bremen, Germany, lost almost 7,000 of its 12,000 inhabitants; Florence, Italy, lost 40,000 of its nearly 90,000; and Paris lost more than 50,000 of its 180,000. Major cities had to create mass graveyards where the dead could be buried. European population only began to 58 again in the last decades of the 15th century.The Black Death also brought about 59 changes. As large numbers of peasants died, there was a shortage of labor. Peasants had 60 spent generations working for the same family, but after the plague hit, they began to take advantage of the labor 61 . Workers62_ many times their usual pay for work and would sometimes move to a new lord or noblewho offered 63 incentives （刺激;鼓励）and working conditions. In this way, the Black Death caused the landowning aristocracy （贵族）to lose much of their power and social 64 .50. A. enormous B. evaluated C. estimated D. expected51.

Gone are the golden days when eager crowds were packed on wooden benches in poor buildings, which seemed to be about to 50 in the next minute.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A cure for the future in the past?For over fifty years, the people of Britain have relied on the welfare state to make sure they have adequate health services. But now the National Health Service is sick. Government 41 and underfunding are forcing hospitals to close, and waiting lists for treatment are getting longer. Under such circumstances, it is no surprise that more people are turning to private (but expensive) healthcare.For some, however, there are 42 . They are turning their back on modern pills, tablets and resorting to other conventional medicine. It seems paradoxical, but in an age of microchips and high technology, traditional medicine, the old-fashioned cures that our grandparents relied on, is making a 43 .Consider these case studies:Maude is 76 years old and has been suffering from arthritis for almost ten years. “The pain in my joints was almost 44 , and my doctor referred me to a surgeon at the London Hospital. I was told that I needed 45 , but would need to wait for at least two years before I could have the operation. In 46 , I started having massage sessions. To my surprise, these were very therapeu tic, and while they didn’t cure the disorder, they did47 it to some extent”.Ron is 46. His high-powered city job was 48 for a series of stress-related illnesses, and the drugs he took didn’t work well on the nervous strain. “I r ead about 49 which involve the whole person rather than the individual symptoms, but I had always doubted about such kind of medicine for all diseases. However, my friend50 a dietician who told me that part of my problem was diet-related. Basically, the food I was eating was51 to my disorder. She gave me a list of foods that would provide the right vitamins and minerals to keep me in good health. At the same time, she advocated a more 52 lifestyle-running, swimming, that kind of thing. I’ m a bit of a couch potato, and this kind of lifestyle I had lived was 53 the problem. Now I feel great!”So is there still a place in our lives for modern medicine? While it is true that some infections and viruses may be 54 by turning to traditional medicine, more serious illnesses such as cancer need more extreme measures. We do need our health service at these times, and we shouldn’t stop 55 in its future. But we mustn’t forget that for some common illnesses, the cure may lie in the past.41.

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.In Favour of Simple WritingDo you edit text messages carefully before sending them? If so, you may be the kind of person who takes pride in 41 even the simplest message. If you do not, you may see yourself as a go-getter, one who values excitement and speed over42 : get it done decently now rather than perfectly later.People are constantly receiving messages, from the mailbox to the inbox to the text-message alert. What to read, what to skim (略读) and what to ignore are decisions that nearly everyone has to make dozens of times a day.A new book titled All Readers are Busy Nowadays makes the argument for being the careful kind of 43 , even in informal lines. The authors also present well-established 44 that have long been prized in guides to writing.Take “less is more”. Most books on writing well advocate the advice to 45 needless words. The authors, however, have 46 the idea. In an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey, cutting the count from 127 to 49 words almost 47the response rate.Keeping messages to a 48 idea—or as few as absolutely needed—helps ensure that they will be read, remembered and acted on. 49 the number of the available options has the same effect, too. A link in an email, 50 , attracted 50% more clicks when presented alone than when it was sent alongside a second additional link.Syntax (句法) and 51 matter, too. It is more 52 to adopt short and active sentences, with common words familiar to everyone. From Facebook posts to online-travel reviews, even brief, informal pieces of writing that follow these rules get more likes and shares.If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer, too. That may make it tempting to sent as many messages as 53 as possible and hope for the best. But from essays to text messages organizing dinner plans, devoting time to the needs of readers has provable 54 .

Outdoor pollution kills 4.2m people a year, according to the World Health Organization. Concrete and tarmac, meanwhile, absorb the sun’s rays rather than reflecting them back into space, and also __41__ plants which would otherwise cool things down by evaporative transpiration（蒸腾作用）. The never-ceasing __42__ of buildings and roads thus turns urban areas into heat islands, discomforting residents and worsening dangerous heatwaves.A possible answer to the twin problems of pollution and heat is trees. Their leaves may destroy at least some chemical pollutants and they certainly __43__ tiny particles floating in the air, which are then washed to the ground by rain. Besides transpiration, they provide __44__.To cool an area effectively, trees must be planted in quantity. Two years ago, researchers at the University of Wisconsin found that American cities need 40% tree __45__ to cut urban heat back meaningfully. Unfortunately, not all cities —and especially not those now springing up in the world’s poor and middle-income countries — are __46__ with parks, private gardens or a sufficient number of street trees. And the problem is likely to get worse. At the moment, 55% of people live in cities. By 2050 that share is expected to reach 68%.One group of botanists believe they have at least a partial __47__ to this lack of urban vegetation. It is to plant miniature simulacra（模拟物）of natural forests, ecologically engineered for rapid growth. Over the course of a career that began in the 1950s, their leader, Miyawaki Akira, a plant ecologist at Yokohama National University in Japan, has developed a way to do this starting with even the most __48__ deserted areas. And the Miyawaki method is finding increasing __49__ around the world.Dr Miyawaki’s insight was to deconstruct and rebui ld the process of ecological succession, by which __50__ land develops naturally into mature forest. Usually, the first arrival is grass, followed by small trees and, finally, larger ones. The Miyawaki method __51__ some of the early phases and jumps directly to planting the kinds of species found in a mature wood.Dr Miyawaki has __52__ the planting of more than 1,500 of these miniature forests, first in Japan, then in other parts of the world. Wherever they are planting, though, gardeners are not restrict ed to __53__ nature’s recipe book to the letter. Miyawaki forests can be customized to local requirements. A popular choice, __54__, is to include more fruit trees than a natural forest might support, thus creating an orchard that requires no maintenance.If your goal is to better your __55__ surroundings, rather than to save the planet from global warming, then Dr Miyawaki might well be your man.41.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Anyone who has ever witnessed the miracle in which infants progress from mewling to “Mama” to “Mine!” knows how critical it is for youngsters to hear normally before they speak their first words. __41__, many children who don’t talk by age two turn out to be deaf. The sooner their disability is discovered and __42__, the less likely they are to fall behind in the development of important language and social skills. That is why a growing number of hearing specialists (audiologists) and parents are campaigning for __43__ screening of newborns for hearing loss.Their __44__ has registered in some powerful ears. To date, 22 states have passed legislation requiring at least partial screening programs. Part of the push stems from __45__ in technology that, among other things, allow children as young as two months to be __46__ hearing aids. But there are limits to the technology. One thing parents should realize before they start is that the screening tests are far from __47__. A bad result doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem.Audiologists estimate that 3 out of every 1,000 babies are born with some kind of hearing loss. Of those three infants, one is profoundly deaf. About half the time, doctors can identify a possible cause, such as a birth weight less than 5 pounds, or a family history of __48__. The rest of the time there is simply no __49__ as to why a newborn’s hearing may have been affected.The screening tests work by introducing a sound into a baby’s ear and then measuring either the __50__ of the ear’s i nternal mechanisms or the electrical activity of the auditory portion of the brain (the auditory brain-stem response test). Just because a baby fails either test, __51__, does not mean that there is a hearing problem. A temporary buildup of fluid in the ear canal or excessive noise in the nursery can __52__ the results. For this reason, experts say, hospitals should __53__ the screening tests for any baby who doesn’t pass the first time before telling the parents to consult an audiologist for more thorough testing.It is at this stage that things get a bit __54__. Though 20 of every 1,000 babies fail the two-step screen, most prove on further examination to be just fine. Is it worth __55__ 17 families of perfectly normal children - not to mention asking them to spend several hundred dollars on advanced tests - to identify three infants with hearing loss?41. A.

1.2024届上海市宝山区高三英语二模专题汇编：完形填空For decades,people have guessed that artificial intelligence(AI)will eventually replace human workers.But developments in the past few years have41these concerns as companies have released AI that can answer questions,42of AI replacing them.But write articles and create images.Now,even people in creative fields must consider themany experts still insist that these AI programs are no substitute for human ability.AI programs have the43to perform some tasks currently performed by human workers.These include media jobs,such as writing advertisements and articles,along with many jobs in the financial fields and even tech-related jobs such as computer programming.AI is good at44data,so financial analysts and market research analysts may find their jobs45.Using AI for certain tasks may be a good thing.Perhaps AI will46less interesting work,allowing people to do more satisfying jobs,just as earlier technologies ing a machine to do laundry saves time47to washing clothes by hand,and many people use that extra time productively.48,AI may be able to take over dull tasks, liberating people to be truly creative,since thinking up new ideas is something AI cannot do.Another big challenge for AI is human49.Most people prefer to communicate with humans rather than machines.Hence,AI is50to replace humans for jobs that require personal connection,such as counseling or teaching.A robot can perform tasks,but it cannot51care about others,and sometimes care is what people need.AI can process data quickly,but it can only use data that it is given.So it cannot adapt to situations that52 significantly from those in its data.Thus,although some AI programs can create content,none of them can be truly creative as the content AI creates will53consist of some combination of its sources.Finally,if the AI receives false information,it has no way of recognizing that as false.Humans can also be fooled,but54,AI must continually life

materials tend to cover elementary classroom walls.However,to o much of a good thing may end up41attention and learning in young children,according to research published in Psychological Science.Psychology researchers Anna V.Fisher,Karrie E.Godwin and Howard Seltman of Carnegie Mellon University looked at whether classroom displays affected children’s ability to maintain42during instruction and to learn the lesson content.They found that children in highly decorated classrooms were more distracted,spent more time off-task and demonstrated smaller learning43than when the decorations were removed.“Young children spend a lot of time—usually the whole day—in the same classroom,and we have shown that a classroom’s44environment can affect how much children learn,”said Fisher,lead author and associate professor of psychology in the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences.Should teachers45their visual displays based on the findings of this study?“We do not suggest by any means that this is the answer to all46problems.Furthermore, 47research is needed to know what effect the classroom visual environment has on children’s attention and learning in real classrooms,”Fisher said.“48,I would suggest that instead of removing all decorations,teachers should consider whether some of their visual displays do make it difficult for young children to49.”For the study,24kindergarten students were placed in50classrooms for six introductory science lessons on topics they were unfamiliar with.Three lessons were taught in a heavily decorated classroom,and three lessons were given in a sparse(稀疏的)classroom.The results showed that while children learned in both51types,they learned more when the room was not heavily decorated.Specifically,children’s52on the test questions was higher in the sparse classroom(55%correct)than in the decorated classroom(42%correct).“We were also interested in finding out if the visual displays were removed,whether the children’s attention would 53to another distraction,such as talking to their peers,or the total amount of time they were distracted would remain the same,”said Godwin,a Ph.D.candidate in psychology and fellow of the Program in Interdisciplinary Education Research.However,when the researchers totaled all of the time children spent off-task in both types of classrooms,the rate of off-task54was higher in the decorated classroom(38.6%time spent off-task)than in the sparse classroom(28.4% time spent off-task).The researchers hope these findings will lead to further studies into developing guidelines to help teachers design classrooms55.41.A.attracting B.distracting C.holding D.paying42.A.confidence B.relationship C.consistency D.focus43.A.gains B.opportunities C.needs

Mexican immigrants,Juan,Oscar,Luis,and Alfredo.These boys,coming from____41____backgrounds,often found themselves overlooked and underestimated.Bonded by fate and friendship,they shared a common passion for ____42____.Two science teachers there decided to enter their high school into a complicated____43____robotics competition sponsored by the NASA and the Naval Research.Excited for the news,these four boys signed up for the competition.With enthusiasm and energy,they started calling mechanical engineers for design help.They were____44____that these kinds of robots require glass syntactic flotation foam,a type of floating material used in various marine applications.____45____money,all they could afford was some PVC pipes and duct tape(强力胶布).____46____,they searched the city for various spare parts,gathering whatever they could to bring their vision to life.With the teachers’guidance and encouragement,they____47____together a robot with no more than metal and wires.As they worked on their robot,the boys also faced personal challenges.Juan struggled with the weight of family responsibilities;Oscar____48____a deep-seated fear of failure;Luis’s heart ached from the constant peers’mockery(嘲笑)for his____49____accent,and Alfredo longed for acceptance and belonging.____50____these obstacles,they persevered,leaning on each other for support and inspiration.After a few test runs of their robot,they piled into a second-hand van to head to the competition.Upon entering the main pool area,they noticed the college teams wearing matching outfits,with robots sponsored by big companies. Feeling a bit nervous,the boys put the robot in the water for a test run.____51____,the PVC didn’t hold up,causing the robot to leak and sink.However,instead of letting this____52____ruin their spirits,the boys put their heads together and came up with a brilliant solution.12hours later,armed with8super-absorbent pads to plug the leak,the robot was____53____into the pool again.This time,their robot performed admirably.Gliding gracefully through the waters,it navigated the course with precision and speed,____54____the judges and audience alike.This underwater robot,a symbol of their determination and____55____,conquered the waters,defeated engineering powerhouse MIT and ranked first in the country.This was not just a win for those four but a victory for every underdog with a dream.41.

You probably vow(发誓)to___42___dollar pizza slices the rest of the month to balance out this dinner.___43___,this time,what if you just turned to your friend,closed the menu,and said,“Sorry,I have to be honest.I can’t afford this. Let’s go somewhere else?”That’s the idea behind“loud budgeting”,a trend that could not only relieve you of the___44___burden,but help you deal with these sorts of stressful situations both mentally and emotionally.In an age when everybody is showing off nice things on social media and___45___to be something they’re not,it feels somewhat revolutionary to just tell the truth about what you can’t afford.The term was first introduced by TikTok(抖音)comedian Lukas Battle.Battle explained his concept in an interview: simply put,loud budgeting is being___46___about what you do and don’t want to spend money on.Since his video,the concept has caught on rapidly among the___47___,who are pointing out that it has come at a significant time when everything is uncontrollably expensive.It’s not just a TikTok thing though.Even those in the financial services industry are on board with the___48___. Nikolina Cuca,a financial advisor,says that she’s seen social media add pressure to her clients,causing them to spend ___49___on luxury items.“There should be no shame about trying to match your spending to your means.This trend helps young people moderate spending by___50___the idea of living within budgets.”Beyond just saving money,loud budgeting is also bringing people closer.Honest money talks lead to greater respect among friends and family.By___51___discussing money goals,people are creating stronger bonds based on mutual understanding for each other’s financial situations.And perhaps the most valuable part of the loud budgeting trend is that it provides a sense of___52___.For example,if you tell a friend you are trying to cut back spending on drinks out,you are much___53___to stick with the goal than if you just keep it to yourself.With its focus on being open,spending wisely,and building___54___,loud budgeting is more than just a passing trend,but a cool way for the younger generation to___55___their finances.As more people adopt this approach,it is likely to stay a big part of how we handle money in the future.41.

Each word canJapan births fall to record low as population crisis deepens Japan saw 799,728 births in 2022, the lowest number on record. That number has nearly halved in the past 40 years; by contrast, Japan recorded more than 1.5 million births in 1982. Japan also reported aof the world’s third-largest economy. They now face a ballooning elderly population, alongpopulation increased.Japan’ population has been in___14___decline since its economic boom of the 1980s and stood at 125.5 million in 2021. Its death rate of 1.3 is far below the rate of 2.1 required to maintain a stable population, in the___15___of immigration.The country also has one of the highest life expectancies in the world ; in 2020, nearly one in 1,500 people in Japan were aged 100 or older. These concerning trends resulted in a warning from Prime minister that Japan is “on the edge of not being able to maintainsocial___16___” and Japan “simply cannot wait any longer” in solving the problem of its low birth rate. A new government agency will be set up to focus on the issue, with Prime Minister saying that he wants the government to ___17___ its spending on child-related programs.But money alone might not be able to solve the complex problem, with various social factors contributing to the low birth rate. Japan’s high cost of living, limited space and lack of child care support in cities make it difficult to raise children, meaning fewer couples are having kids. Urban couples are also often far from ___18___family in other regions, who could help provide support. In 2022, Japan was ranked one of the world’s most expensive places to raise a child. And yet, the country’s economy has slowed down since the early 1990s, meaning frustratingly low ages and little___19___mobility.The average real annual household income declined from $50,600 in 1995 to $43, 300 in 2020.

They focused on three different sports: World Cup soccer, professional basketball, and professional baseball. The results are mixed. For soccer and basketball, the studies revealed that adding talentedteam’s performance began to decline. Interestingly, this trend was not evident in baseball,and 2)In looking for an explanation for the different results for different sports, the researchers ___24___one important factor — the extent to which a good performance by a team required its members to coordinate (协调) their actions. This task ___25___ distinguishes baseball from basketball and soccer.In baseball, the performance of individual players is ___26___ teammates than in soccer and basketball. The researchers concluded that when, during the course of play, task interdependence is high, team performance will ___27___ when there is too much talent in the group. When task interdependence is lower, ___28___ individual talent will have a positive effect on team performance.One explanation for this phenomenon is not so far from the pecking order (等级排序) situation among chickens. If a basketball star is pursuing his own personal goals,___29___ trying to gather a high personal point total, he may be less ___30___ than team player. He may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a team mate, thus makingthe team’s overall performance suffer. “There is no___31___in TEAM,” young children learning to play team sports are often told. Apparently stars ___32___ follow this basic principle of sportsman ship.Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may begin to___33___ This is referred to as the Ringelmann effect. Ringelmann conducted an experiment in which he asked two, three, four, and up to 28 people to participate in a game of tug-of-war. He measured how much force each person used to pull the rope. He found that whenever he added a person to the team, everyone else pulled with less force.___34___ the ideal team — for sports, business, science, or entertainment — is more complicated than simply hiring the best talent.

Suddenly, I was flying through the air. If the past two years studying photography had taught me anything, it was an appreciation of how things can change in a thousandth of a second. Light, shadow, colours, all are in a constant state of flux (不断的变动) — as is life. And since crash-landing onto my left shoulder, I have been living through the truth of this wisdom.That day, doctors diagnosed a cracked bone. It was only the next morning when, instinctively, I tried to capture some spectacular sunlight streaming into my kitchen, that I had to face the harsh reality: I could no longer lift my camera, let alone us it. Latch that week, a hospital appointment confirmed my worst scar — the arm needed total rest.Soon, I became cantankerous and impatient. I couldn’t travel, I could’t go anywhere much. Surfing online, I came across the concept of gratitude inter vent ions and their role in boosting mood and well being. A Californian psychologist, Sonja Lyubomirsky, has pioneered research into using a daily photography practice as a tool for enhanced gratitude. Her instructions are simple, but not necessarily cask. Take photographs throughout the day of things that are central to who you are. Take at least five photos a day. Initially, it felt like a demanding task. But reading how participants assigned to the gratitude interventions had experienced enhanced positive emotions, I decided to persevere.Pain forced me to slow down, because capturing a single iPhone photo was painful. And, yet, the struggle to find anything to feel grateful about, and then to record it, started to dramatically improve both my mood and my images. I began to photograph the most boring details of my days, from my breakfast cup to a red pepper reflected in the window. Despite everything, I found I could find magic in the ordinary. “Life seems repetitive and boring when you don’t notice the uniqueness of each moment and the constant subtle changes that are going on all around you,” write Andy Karr in a wonderful book on photography. I agree, but don’t just take my word for it — experience it for yourself.36．What happened to the writer on the winter afternoon ?A．She went to her classmate’s degree show in a hurry.B．She tripped over and broke her shoulder bone.C．She was taught an unforgettable lesson on photography.D．She took a photo of a tragic crash-landing to be on show.40．The underlined phrase “ stole the show ” most probably means______. A．disappointed the producer B．ruined the whole performance C．attracted the most attention D．exhibited excessive confidence 41．Which of the following statements about Jonathan Baker is TRUE ?A．He excels in one-dimensional characterization.B．His novels center around ordinary people’s lives.C．His novels show consistent super characterization and ambition.D．He is passionate about presenting realistic images of future London.42．The puzzle in episode number three______.A．are integrated in the narrative B．arc appealing to the audienceC．deal with the theme of exploration D．are absent in other adventure gamesPlugs across AmericaThe United States has around 150,000 fuel stations to re till fossil-fuel-burning vehicles. Despite the rapid growth of all-electric vehicle in America — 400,000 of them were sold in 2021, up from barely la, 000 in 2012 — the country has only 6,000 fast electric charging stations, the kind that can rapidly charge a battery-powered car.A glance at America’s charging map reveals a lot of charging deserts. This makes sense, as EVs (electric vehicle) still represent less than 3% of new car sales. Large cities have agrowing number of fast charges, but not nearly enough to accommodate so many EVs. Away from cities, these charters are along interstate highways closely enough to allow electric cars safe passage. Otherwise, they are nearly nonexistent in rural America. And EV stations have a problem that gas stations don’t: “Even the fastest Tesla supercharger is still going to take 15 minutes to put a couple hundred miles on the vehicle,” says Jeremy Michalek, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University.Michalek says American charging facilities fall far behind what’ needed for the whole country to transition to electric driving. On the bright side, there is time to catch up, because not all Americans will embrace at once. Most early adopters were those with access to a charge at home in their garage or parking space. Those owners can wake up with a full battery and only need to rely on public charters when they leave town on an extended trip. But as the country gets to higher levels of EV adoption, the current facilities won’t be enough. That is why Michalek says the US needs to prioritize increasing the number of charges at rest stops along well-traveled highways, especially as more people use electric cars for summer-time road trips.“As we act to higher levels of EV adoption, if we don’t have enough chargers for peak demand, the wait times are going to be unlike what we see with gas stations,” he says.Charging dead bones will be larger as more Americans consider an EV. Renters who do not have the option to install a home charges will be hesitant to go fully electric until they can feel confident a public plug will be there when they need it. And as more households drive only electric vehicles, it will be crucial that people can get to all the places they want to go.In the best case, Michalek envisions public-private cooperation to build a national charging network. The US government has promised to install plugs throughout rural areas, while companies constructing charging stations across America will have a strong motivation to fill in the country’s biggest cities. After all, companies like Electrify America, EV go, and Charge Point charge customers of energy they use.43．It can be learned from the 2nd paragraph that ______.A．there is a shortage of charging stations in the rural areas of AmericaB．it takes about 15 minutes for an average charge to charge a battery-powered car C．more electric vehicles are sold than fossil-fuel burning cars in large cities in America D．there are enough charges in America considering the limited sales of new electric vehicles 44．Which of the following statements would Michalek most probably agree with ?A．Companies setting up charging stations are hesitant to go electric.B．Those who already have a home charge don’t have to find a public plug.C．Top priority needs to be given to adding more charging stations across the country. D．There is enough time to establish a charging network, because not many EVs are uscd. 45．What can be inferred about the renters ?A．Some renters don’t have the intention to go electric.B．Some renters might not be authorized to install a home charge.C．As more renters are unwilling to use public plugs, the charging dead bones are growing. D．Some renters might not have enough confidence in the public plugs for the safety reasons. 46．Who does Michalek expect to work together to establish the charging network nationwide?A．The government and some companies.B．The local government and every household.C．The charging facility providers and every family.D．The federal government and the local rural government.五、六选四As a botanists who studies our cultural relationship with plants, I am forever fascinated with what draws people to gardening.Admittedly, connecting with the natural world might seem like an obvious motivation, and undoubtedly it is a key part of the attraction.___47___ If they were, we’d abandon any attempts at design, planting or care and watch how walls of weeds slowly gave way to the mass of bushes. But that wouldn’t be gardening, of course, because for all their diversity, the one thing that all gardens have in common is how unnatural they are.___48___ Dazzling plants, watch features and glorious blooms is all interconnected well beyond what would naturally occur. Whether it is green lawns created in the driest deserts or a tropical paradise on a stormy North Atlantic island, they are all about shaping the natural world to fit our idea of what it “ should” be.As I work on my tiny t errariums (玻璃花园) on dark February nights, something magical happens to my brain. ___49___ In a world that has become increasingly uncertain, people are often fuelled by the same psychological desire: the instinctive need to have a bit ofcontrol amid chaos.As our world becomes more and more unpredictable and often frightening, gardening seems to be able to appeal to and reach out to a whole new generation, often against all odds.Of course, gardening in’ t the only thing people turn to. The rise of culture conflicts and fix at ion on body image have also been widely documented as being driven by a psychological need to feel a degree of certainty, control and safety. However, I can’t help but think of these alternatives: ___50___A．In reality gardens are anything but natural.B．What are the things they have been attracted to?C．They are idealized landscape with all the mud, pests and dead plants edited out.D．How much better a place the planet would be if gardening was our outlet for this need! E．Much like agriculture, gardening is a universal human desire coded into our cultural DNA．F．The calmness created by owning a tiny green space under my control has a powerful effect on my mind.六、概要写作51．Directions: road 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.A plan to restore green spacesThe UK government has revealed a plan to protect and restore England’s wild life. It focuses on at-risk species by making canals, rivers and streams cleaner and expanding green spaces.The new Environmental Improvement Plan sets goals to create or restore more than5,000 square kilometres of wildlife habitats across England and restore 400 miles of rivers. It will create or expand 25 national nature reserves. New woodland will also be planted alongside rivers. At the moment, access to green spaces is not equal across the UK. Around 4% of people live more than 10 minutes away from their nearest park. The Environmental Improvement Plan aims to make sure households in England are within a 15-minute walk to a green space.As well as helping more people to act close to nature, the plan should increase England’s biodiversity. A species Survival Fund will be set up to help some of England’s most endangered animals, such as red squirrels (松鼠) and watch rats. The Government has set targets to boost these species by 2030. There are also targets to reduce food waste, glass, metal, paper and plastic by 2028, and to improve the quality of water in rivers.New rules mean that the Government will have to consider the environmental effects of any policy it puts forward. These goals are part of a 25- year plan that was launched in 2018. The aim of the plan is to improve the environment “within a generation ” which is roughly 25 years.Although lots of people have welcomed the plan, not everyone is impressed. Pail de Zylva, from the charity Friends of the Earth, said it wasn’t clear enough how the goals would be met and that many of them were like promises the Government had already made but not yet delivered.___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ______七、汉译英（整句）52．有了无人机，救援人员就可以安全地评估灾区的受灾状况。

You never know how far a kind act can go. You don't know who it can 1 , either. When Gloria Porter and Jeff Reick began 2 , they had no idea how much it would 3 others to shower (大量给予) people with kindness.89-year-old Gloria Porter was lying in hospital. She couldn't leave her ward. So to 4 boredom, she would often stare outside her window to watch construction workers building the new front entrance to the hospital. She wasn't expecting one of the 5 to wave to her. She couldn't help but wave back at the kind 6 . This was only the start of a special 7 between the two.Jeff Reick knew Porter was 8 , so he decided to send a kind 9 to her by finding some chalk and writing "Get Well" on one of the beams (梁) facing her 10 . "I just thought that was 11 ," Porter said. "So I should do something to 12 that."When Porter saw construction workers working high above the ground one cold, windy day, she grew 13 . She wrote "Stay safe" on a piece of paper, which she then 14 on the window for the workers to see. "When I saw 4 Stay safe' on a piece of paper, I 15 and said to my coworkers, 'Did you see that?'"

However, too much of a good thing may end up 41 attention and learning in young children, according to research published in Psychological Science.Psychology researchers Anna V. Fisher, Karrie E. Godwin and Howard Seltman of Carnegie Mellon University looked at whether classroom displays affected children's ability to maintain 42 during instruction and to learn the lesson content. They found that children in highly decorated classrooms were more distracted, spent more time off-task and demonstrated smaller learning 43 than when the decorations were removed.“Young children spend a lot of time —usually the whole day —in the same classroom, and we have shown that a classroom's 44 environment can affect how much children learn, "said Fisher, lead author and associate professor of psychology in the Dietrich College of Humanitiesand Social Sciences.Should teachers 45 their visual displays based on the findings of this study“We do not suggest by any means that this is the answer to all 46 problems. Furthermore, 47 research is needed to know what effect the classroom visual environment has on children's attention and learning in real classrooms, ”Fisher said. “48. I would suggest that instead of removing all decorations, teachers should consider whether some of their visual displays do make it difficult for young children to 49 . ”For the study, 24 kindergarten students were placed in 50 classrooms for six introductory science lessons on topics they were unfamiliar with. Three lessons were taught in a heavily decorated classroom, and three lessons were given in a sparse(稀疏的)classroom. The results showed that while children learned in both 51 types, they learned more when the room was not heavily decorated. Specifically, children's 52 on the test questions was higher in the sparse classroom (55%correct) than in the decorated classroom(42%correct).“We were also interested in finding out if the visual displays were removed, whether the children's attention would 53 to another distraction, such as talking to their peers, or the total amount of time they were distracted would remain the same, "said Godwin, a Ph D. candidate in psychology and fellow of the Program in InterdisciplinaryEducation Research.However, when the researchers totaled all of the time children spent off-task in both types of classrooms, the rate of off-task 54 was higher in the decorated classroom(38. 6%time spent off-task)than in the sparse classroom(28. 4%time spent off-task).The researchers hope these findings will lead to further studies into developing guidelines to help teachers design classrooms 55.41.

When you open the 41 , your heart sinks. There's not a dish in sight that is less than $35, and even a soup is going to run you $18. You probably vow （发誓）to 42 dollar pizza slices the rest of the month to balance out this dinner. 43 , this time, what if you just turned to your friend, closed the menu, and said, "Sorry, I have to be honest. I can't afford this. Let's go somewhere else "That's the idea behind "loud budgeting", a trend that could not only relieve you of the 44 burden, but help you deal with these sorts of stressful situations both mentally and emotionally. In an age when everybody is showing off nice things on social media and 45 to be something they're not, it feels somewhat revolutionary to just tell the truth about what you can't afford.The term was first introduced by TikTok （抖音）comedian Lukas Battle. Battle explained his concept in an interview: simply put, loud budgeting is being 46 about what you do and don't want to spend money on. Since his video, the concept has caught on rapidly among the 47 , who arepointing out that it has come at a significant time when everything is uncontrollably expensive.It's not just a TikTok thing though. Even those in the financial services industry are on board with the 48 . Nikolina Cuca, a financial advisor, says that she's seen social media add pressure to her clients, causing them to spend 49 on luxury items. "There should be no shame about trying to match your spending to your means. This trend helps young people moderate spending by 50 the idea of living within budgets. "Beyond just saving money, loud budgeting is also bringing people closer. Honest money talks lead to greater respect among friends and family. By 51 discussing money goals, people are creating stronger bonds based on mutual understanding for each other's financial situations. And perhaps the most valuable part of the loud budgeting trend is that it provides a sense of 52 . For example, if you tell a friend you are trying to cut back spending on drinks out, you are much 53 to stick with the goal than if you just keep it to yourself.With its focus on being open, spending wisely, and building 54 , loud budgeting is more than just a passing trend, but a cool way for the younger generation to 55 their finances. As more people adopt this approach, it is likely to stay a big part of how we handle money in the future.41. A. door B. menu C. bill D. wallet42. A. appeal to B. lead to C. stick to D. object to43.

But developments in the past fewyears have 41 these concerns as companies have released AI that can answer questions, write articles and create images. Now, even people in creative fields must consider the 42 of AI replacing them. But many experts still insist that these AI programs are no substitute for human ability.AI programs have the 43 to perform some tasks currently performed by human workers. These include media jobs, such as writing advertisements and articles, along with many jobs in the financial fields and even tech-related jobs such as computer programming. AI is good at 44 data, so financial analysts and market research analysts may find their jobs 45 .Using AI for certain tasks may be a good thing. Perhaps Al will 46 less interesting work, allowing people to do more satisfying jobs, just as earlier technologies have. Using a machine to do laundry saves time 47 to washing clothes by hand, and many people use that extra time productively. 48 AI may be able to take over dull tasks, liberating people to be truly creative, since thinking up new ideas is something AI cannot do.Another big challenge for AI is human 49 . Most people prefer to communicate with humans rather than machines. Hence, AI is 50 to replace humans for jobs that require personal connection, such as counseling or teaching. A robot can perform tasks, but it cannot 51 careabout others, and sometimes care is what people need.AI can process data quickly, but it can only use data that it is given. So it cannot adapt to situations that 52 significantly from those in its data. Thus, although some AI programs can create content, none of them can be truly creative as the content AI creates will 53 consist of some combination of its sources.Finally, if the AI receives false information, it has no way of recognizing that as false. Humans can also be fooled, but life experience can tell them whether a claim is reasonable, an ability that AI does not have. 54 AI must continually be fact-checked to make sure its data, and therefore its conclusions, are accurate.Thus, although AI may replace some jobs, others require a human 55. At best AI may eliminate certain boring parts of tasks so that humans can focus on things that only they can do.41. A. denied B. prevented C. transferred D. intensified42.

Yet no one was doing that in Singapore. So four years ago, she set up a company to create lab-grown crustacean (甲壳纲动物) meat. (41) ______, she registered her company, Shiok Meats in August 2018. “Nobody was doing crustaceans,” says Sriram, Shiok’s Group CEO and co-founder. “What do Asians eat the most Seafood. It was a simple answer. And they’re so delicious.” A lifelong (42) ______, she had never tried real shrimp, but she sampled it the week she registered the company. Today, the results of her (43) ______ can be seen at the headquarters ofher company. During a fall 2022 visit, a bioprocess engineer looked into a microscope carefully. He had taken samples from a bioreactor in the room next door, where the company is (44) ______ crustacean cells. Under the lens, he was checking to see if the cells were ready to harvest. Shiok Meats has already revealed shrimp, lobster, and crab prototypes (最初形态) to a select group of tasters, and it plans to (45) ______ regulatory approval to sell its lab-grown shrimp by April 2023. That could make it the first in the world to bring cultivated shrimp to diners, putting it at the leading position of the cultivated-meat (46) ______. As of this writing, only one company has gained regulatory approval to sell lab-grown animal-protein products: Eat Jus’s cultured chicken is (47) ______ but only in Singapore. Shiok Meats still needs to submit all the paperwork necessary and get regulatory approval, but the company hopes to see its products in restaurants by mid-2024, offering foodies a more environmentally friendly option free of (48) ______ than crustaceans from farms.But even if that ambitious (49) ______ is met, it will likely be a while before the average person is eating cultivated crustaceans. It will require not just regulatory approval but also more funding and a bigger factory, along with (50) ______ consumers and governments around the world to accept lab-grown seafood.“We’re at an interesting stage of a startup; it’s called the Valley of Death,”says Sriram. “We are in the space where we haven’t submitted for regulatory approval yet, but we’re looking to commercialize in the next two years.” Nevertheless, the impatient entrepreneur is (51) ______. Sriram hopes to have the company’s next manufacturing plant ready by the end of 2023, where a 500-liter and a 2,000-liter bioreactor will be a major (52) ______ from its current 50-and 200-liter bioreactors. The goal is for her products to enter the mainstream in Singapore in five to seven years.(53) ______ these products could help tackle some of the environmental impacts of crustacean production. Organic waste, chemicals, and antibiotics from seafood farms can pollute groundwater. Shiok Meats says the way it produces crustacean meat minimizes animal cruelty, as growing protein in a lab helps avoid (54) ______ animals. And cultivating shrimp closer to where it’s (55) ______ cuts emissions from fishing-boat fuel and shipping products around the world.In a word, when science meets seafood, many wonderful things happen naturally.41.

In the 1980s, as sales of video recorders went up, old 8mm home movies were gradually replaced by VHS(video home system) tapes. Later, video tapes of family holidays lost their appeal and the use of DVDs 41 . Those, too, have had their day. Even those holding their childhood memories in digital files on their laptops now know these files face the risk of 42 . Digitising historical documents brings huge benefits —files can be 43 anddistributed, reducing the risk of their entire loss through physical damage caused by fire or flooding. And developing digital versions reduces 44 on the original items. The International Dunhuang Project, 45 , has digitised items like mamuscripts(手稿)from the Mogao caves in China, enabling scholars from around the world to access records easily without touching the real items.But the news that the Ministry of Justice of the UK is proposing to scan the 110 million people's wills it holds and then destroy a handful of 46 after 25 years has shocked historians. The ministry cites this as a way of providing easier access for researchers. But that only justifies digitisation, not the 47 of the paper copies. The officials note the change will be economically efficient (saving around f4. 5m a year)while keeping all the essential information.Scholars 48 . Most significantly, physical records can themselves carry important information —the kind of ink or paper used may be part of the history that historians are 49 and errors are often made in scanning. Besides, digital copies are arguably more 50 than the material items, just in different ways. The attack from the Internet on the British Library last October has prevented scholars from 51 digitised materials it holds: imagine if researchers could not return to the originals. Some even think digitised information can easily be lost within decades no matter what 52 are put in place.The government says that it will save the original wills of "famous people for historic record", such as that of Princess Diana's. However, assuming that we know who will 53 to future generations is extraordinarily proud. Mary Seacole, a pioneering nurse who now appears on the national school course in the UK, was largely 54 for almost a century.The digitisation of old documents is a valuable, even essential measure.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? If you were like most children, you probably let your imagination run 41 . Maybe you dreamed of flying into space or being a famous chef. Then perhaps over the years, your dreams became more 42 . Or you might have given up on some altogether.If that's the case, then today's the day for you. January 13th is Make Your Dreams Come True Day. If you've been 43 fulfilling your dreams, this is the day to make a fresh start.It's important to dream because dreams can give us the 44 to succeed in life. Dreams inspire and motivate us. The great thing about dreams is that there's no 45 to accomplish them right away. They might take a few years or they might take a lifetime to 46 . The important thing is that you're 47 working toward your dream. And the best way to do that is by setting goals.What is the 48 between a dream and a goal? It's been said that dreams are the final destination; goals are the stops along the way.Dreams can be very 49 . But the steps you take to reach them should be very 50 . Your dreams state what you want, but goals explain how you'll get there. That makes goal setting a necessary step in 51 your dreams.Many successful people have spoken about dreams. Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell stressed the 52 of working for your dreams. "A dream doesn't become reality through magic: it takes sweat, 53 and hard work. "Author Les Brown reminded us that dreams have no 54 limit. You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.If you've been dreaming about doing something for years, start today. Write down your dream, and 55 your goals. Then you'll be on your way to making your dreams come true.41.A. fast B. high C. well D. wild42.A. colorful B. amazing C. realistic D. attractive43.A. putting off B. taking off C. getting off D. paying off44.A. opportunity B. direction C. energy D. access45.A. pressure B. doubt C. sense D. need46.A. seek B. achieve C. explain D. design47.A. really B. almost C. always D. hardly48.A. concept B. similarity C. comparison D. difference49.A. unreal B. general C. changeable D. flexible50.A. specific B. abstract C. common D. complicated51.A. imaging B. avoiding C. reaching D. believing52.A. process B. benefit C. consequence D. importance53.A. blood B. determination C. intelligence D. loyalty54.A. age B. extra C. space D. normal55.A. transfer B. convert C. establish D. devote参考答案：41－55 DCACA BCDBA CDBAC2020届崇明区高三英语二模III.

The data __46__, made up of more than 112,000 students, included those who completed at least one standardized exam for math, science and English. Students who studied at least one instrumental music course in the regular curriculum counted as students __47__ music.The researchers found the __48__ relationships between music education and academic achievement were more pronounced for those who took instrumental music rather than vocal (发声的) music. The findings suggest skills learned in instrumental music __49__ very broadly to thestudents’ learning in school.“Learning to play a musical instrument and playing in a band is very __50__ ,” said the study’s co-investigator Martin Guhn, an assistant professor in UBC’s school of population and public health. “A student has to learn to read musical notes, develop eye-hand-mind coordination (协调), develop keen listening skills, develop __51__ skills for playing in a band and develop discipline to practice. All those learning experiences, and more, play a role in __52__ the learner’s cognitive capacities (认知能力), executive functions, and motivation to learn in school.”The researchers hope that their findings will be brought to the __53__ of students, parents, teachers and administrative decision-makers in education, as many school districts over the years have emphasized mathematics and literacy __54__ other areas of learning, particularly music. “However, the amusing aspect is that __55__ education can be the very thing that improves all-around academic achievement,” said Gouzouasis.41.

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 two things 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.

Six years ago, he __45__ a start-up which is now called Blue-ground that rents out beautiful - designed, __46__ apartments for a month at a time, at rates that are cheaper than hotels. Today, the company has 3,000 __47__ in six U. S. cities, along with Dubai, Istanbul, London, Paris, and Alex’s native Athens, and a staff of 400. The company just __48__ $50 million in Series B funding, bring its total investment to $78 million, to continue its repaid __49__. It hopes to have 50,000 estates in 50 cities over the next three years, and the goal is to make each one feel unique and comfortable, rather than __50__,like what you might find in a traditional hotel.Alex first came up with the idea for Blue-ground while he was working as a management consultant for McKinsey. “The __51__ of choice for consultants is the hotel,” he says. “I had tospend five years in a hotel room, __52__ in twelve different cities. I loved seeing the world, but I didn’t love feeling like I didn’t have a home.” As he spoke to his friends and coworkers, he realized that many people buried themselves in __53__ due to this drifting lifestyle that meant living gout of a suitcase in the same few non-descript hotel chains that all began to mix together rather than in the “home” full of their own memories.__54__, Alex found the hotels aren’t particularly cost-effective solution for companies, either. __55__, McKinsey sometimes paid $10,000 or more for him to stay in a major city for a month, which was far more expensive than local rents.Is this new living model something that will really take off?

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Retailers(零售商) closed more than 9,000stores in 2019. Some people call what has happened to the shopping landscape “the retail (41) ______ .” It is easy to chal k it up to the rise of e-commerce, which has thrived while physical stores struggle. But this can be (42) ______. Online sales have grown tremendously in the last 20 years, but Internet shopping still represents only 11 percent of the entire retail sales total. Collectively, three major (43) ______ forces have had an even bigger impact on brick-and-mortar retail than the Internet has.To begin with,we have changed (44) ______ we shop —away from smaller stores like those in malls and toward stand-alone “Big Box” stores,which is a greater problem for most physical stores.Also, Rising income (45) ______ has left less of the nation’s money in the hands of the middle class, and the traditional retail stores that (46) ______ them have suffered. It is estimates that since 1970, the share of th e nation’s income earned by families in the middle class has fallen from almost two-thirds to around 40 percent. As the (47) ______ of income at the top rises, overall retail suffers simply because high-income people save a much larger share of their money. The government reports (48) ______ for different income levels in the official Consumer Expenditure Survey. In the latest data, people in the top 10 percent of income (49) ______ almost a third of their income after taxes. People in the middle of the income distribution spent 100 percent of their income. (50) ______, as the middle class has been squeezed and more has gone to the top, it has meant higher saving rates overall.Lastly, We have spent (51) ______ less of income on things and more on services. Since 1960, we went from spending 5 percent of our income on health to almost 18 percent, government statistics show. We spend more on education, entertainment, business services and all sorts of other products that aren’t (52) ______ in traditional retail stores. Economists debate theories of why we have (53) ______ to services and away from goods but no one questions that it has happened. It means that over time, retailers selling (54) ______ will have to run harder and harder just to stay in place.In short, the broad forces hitting retail are more a lesson in economics than in the power of (55) ______. It’s a lesson all retailers will have to learn someday.41.A.business B.disaster C.investment D.strategy42.A.advanced B.confirmed C. overstated D.undervalued43.A.economic B.legal C.physical D.political44.A.how B.what C.where D.why45.A.distribution B.inequality C.level D.tax46.A.aim at B.approve of pete with D.stem from47.A.concentration B.influence C.security D.sourcecation B.employment C.housing D.spending49.A.concealed B.donated C.earned D.saved50.A.Instead B.However C.Moreover D.Therefore51.A.cautiously B.intelligently C. proportionately D.prospectively52.A.available B.insufficient C.popular D.uncommon53.A.applied mitted C.shifted D.tied54.A.ideas B.patents C.services D.things55.A.consumption B.habit C.income D.technology参考答案：41-45:BCACB 46-50:AADDD 51-55: CACDD2020届金山区高三英语二模e National Academy of Sciences.Some forests in four regions in California, Colorado, the Northern Rockies and the southwestern part of the United States have crossed “a(n) 44 climate tipping (转折) point for post-fire tree generation,” the study says.Climate conditions over the past 20 years have 45 changes that would have taken decades or even centuries to 46 across broad regions of the country. This is leading to the sudden 47 of trees and making these lands increasingly unsuitable for tree regeneration.“Climate change is 48 our forests now, not just in some distant future. Maybe in areas where there are really 49 seed sources, there could be some trees, but it is becoming really hard to get these trees back due to climate change,”said study co-author Kim Davis.The problem probably won’t get any better, as climate change is making intense wildfires much more 50 . Western foresters say there used to be a fire season. But devastating and 51 fires have become a reality all year long. In 2018, fire cost California more than $9.05 billion, according to the USA insurance commissioner, the deadliest and most destructive wildfire season in the 52 history.A higher number of fires and low seed availability means a high probability that these trees in these regions won’t come back, Davis said. This study 53 on the driest and hottest areas of the Western forests, but researchers will next try to focus on how much will be impacted.54 , there are some things people can do to ease some of this problem. Forest management plans that reduce high-severity burns can help. Increasingly, forest managers are considering allowing some fires to burn under more moderate conditions, Davis said. Forest 55 can also replant trees after fire, at least in the areas where climate conditions will allow.41. A. convenient B. difficult C. encouraging D. frustrating42.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The term “staycation”means vacations that you take at home or near your home rather than traveling to another place. It is closely connected with less pollution, saving money and not contributing to the overwhelming disorder that takes place in some of the world's most touristic areas. The concept of staycation was born at the time of the 2008 market 41 in the United States. Because of it, many households were forced to 42 their expenses and consequently limit their vacation budget. The shortage of money to travel abroad is at the origin of why many people started to (re) discover their most 43 surroundings.At the same time, awareness of the 44 impacts of tourism, especially on what concerns the impacts of transportation, started to increase too. And so did the perception that some of the main cities (abroad) are increasingly overloaded with people-- with places such as Barcelona, Venice, or the Seychelles planning on 45 a tourist cap.Staycation appears like a great solution for the 46 above mentioned. It is a great way of spending joyful vacations while helping one's 47 and the environment. 48 , staying close to home eliminates the budget for accommodation and transport.Apart from the financial 49 gained by leaving behind expensive plane tickets or by not booking hotel rooms that aren't cheap, staycation also has the benefit of keeping harmful50 in the ground. Cars, boats, and planes are not (or are less) used; 51 , other means of transport such as public transport, bicycles, electric scooters or just walking are favored.This allows people's carbon footprints not to 52 as much as they would if long distances had been traveled.A staycation is a form of alternative tourism that is fully in line with the slow tourism trend. Slow tourism invites you to live in the 53 moment. It encourages you to take your time, discover nearby landscapes, reconnect and spend more time outdoors in nature with the people you enjoy, There are no fully-booked days, and there is no 54 to go from one activity to another just to stay busy all the time.Given the multiple 55 of local tourism, you no longer have a reason to be embarrassed at the coffee machine at work when you are asked where you are going on vacation this year.41.

This sharing serves two __41__. First, it supports the basic deal of skepticism（怀疑论）by making it possible for others to say, “Oh, yeah? Let me check that.” It tells others where to see what the scientist saw, and what techniques and tools to use. Second, it gets the word out so that others can use what has been discovered. This is essential because science is a(n) __42__ efforts. People who work thousands of miles apart build with and upon each other’s discoveries.The communication of science begins with “peer review”, a process of __43__ an author’s scholarly work, research or ideas to the inspection of other experts. It typically has three stages. The first occurs when a scientists seeks funding - from government agencies, foundations, or other__44__ -- to carry out a research program. He or she must prepare a report describing the intended work, laying out background, hypotheses（假设）, planned experiments, expected results, and even the __45__ impacts on other fields. Committees of other scientists then __46__ the report to see whether the scientist knows his or her area, has the necessary abilities, and is realistic in his or her plans.Once the scientist has the needed __47__, has done the work, and has written a report of the results, that reports will go to a scientific journal. Before publishing the report, the journal’s editors will show it to other workers in the same or __48__ fields and ask whether the work was done adequately, the conclusion are justified, and the report should be published.The third stage of peer review happens are publication, when the broader scientific community gets to see and __49__ the work.This three-stage quality-control process can, of course, be faulty. Any scientist with independent wealth can __50__ the first stage quite easily but such scientists are much, much rarer today than they were a century or so ago. Those who remain are the object of envy. __51__ , it is fair to say that they are not disapproved as were those who avoid the latter two stages of the “peer review” mechanisms by using press conferences.On the other hand, it is certainly possible for the standard peer review mechanisms to __52__. By their nature, these mechanisms are more likely to __53__ ideas that are not different from what the reviewers think they already know. Yet the un-traditional or unconventional ideas are not __54__ wrong, as Alfred Wegener proved when he tried to gain __55__ for the idea of continental drift in the early twentieth century. It was not until the 1960s that most geologists accepted his ideas as genuine insights.41. A. purposes B. duties C. interests D. needs42. A. innovative B. prospective C. cooperative D. plain43.
