2022-2023学年江苏省南通市高三（第1次）模拟考试英语试卷AStarting to write short stories: An online workshop with Stuart EversIt is a common misconception that writing a short story is easier than crafting(构思) a longer form piece of fiction. Though they have fewer words, as a writer you have less time and space on the page to both capture the imagination of your readers and craft a journey for your characters that has a beginning, middle and end.In this highly practical workshop with award-winning writer Stuart Evers, you will know about the fundamentals of the short story writing—from building tension to creating a current of events that invites interest—for constructing a story that has the emotional heft of a novel, as well as breathing life into characters that are authentic and full.Regardless of your skillset or experience, under Stuart's expert guidance, you will take the first crucial steps in short storytelling so that you will have a newfound confidence in your ability to continue crafting short stories, far beyond the course. Course content:What makes a short story?How to generate ideas for short storiesHow to turn something from a situation into a storyWriting techniques that can be put into practice instantlyPost-class learning material that includes short story reading listCourse Details:Tuesday, 28 February 2023, 6pm-9pm GMT£80 plus £4.25 booking feeA catch-up recording will be shared after the class and will be available for two weeks.This masterclass is available globally. If you are joining us from outside the United Kingdom, you will be sent a link to the workshop 24 hours and 30 minutes before the start time.1. What does the workshop with Stuart Evers focus on?A. Adding more words in a limited time and space.B. Developing essential short story writing skills.C. Planning a complete journey with the readers.D. Distinguishing between a short story and a novel.2. What is said about Stuart's masterclass?A. It is demanding but rewarding.B. It will be replayed in two months.C. It will be free to foreigners online.D. It is practical and confidence-building.3. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A short story.B. A livestream website.C. An academic article.D. An examination paper.BIt is an unpleasant extinction that will change the world and how people communicate: within 20 years, two thirds of all the planet's languages will be dead. Experts agree that nothing can stop it happening but one academic is trying her hardest to slow it down. Professor Antonella Sorace is one of a growing number who believe learning a second language has enormous untapped benefits for the human brain. This is true not only for young children but also for adults and people at risk from dementia (痴呆), where research consistently shows that learning a new language could delay the start of the disease for four to five years—a better result than with any medication to date.It is those benefits of bilingualism (双语) that should encourage us to preserve and protect Europe's minority languages—Gaelic, Manx, Cornish and Ulster Scots, she says.Already her work and the project she founded three years ago in Edinburgh, Bilingualism Matters—now expanding across Europe and in the US—have convinced the Scottish government to introduce languages to primary schools. From 2023 all Scottish children will be learning a language other than English in their first year at school, with two other languages to be introduced later.Bilingualism Matters is also working to encourage businesses to consider the benefits of their staff learning languages. "In business, people say 'English is the language of business, why would I need to learn another language?'" said Sorace. "Maybe it would mean you could do better business."Just as disappearing forests take with them secrets of undiscovered medicines, disappearing languages can take the key to a longer and better quality of life. The first battle is to unpick the popular assumption that bilingualism might damagechildren's brains. There were even suggestions it could encourage schizophrenia (精神分裂症).Study after study has shown the opposite to be true, says Sorace. "These prejudices are deeply rooted, but we are perhaps halfway to persuading people that the brain can cope. Then we have to persuade people that it is actually of benefit."4. What will happen to the majority of the world's languages?A. They will become extinct in decades.B. They will be learnt by more academics.C. They will prevent the risk of dementia.D. They will help people better communicate.5. What's Bilingualism Matters intended to do?A. Find a replacement for English.B. Teach businesses marketing skills.C. Promote minority language learning.D. Influence governments' policy making.6. What's the top priority in preserving minority languages?A. Getting rid of people's fear for mental illnesses.B. Finding the key to promoting people's welfare.C. Unlocking the secrets of undiscovered medicines.D. Correcting the misconception about Bilingualism.7. Which can be the best title for the text?A. The benefits of Bilingualism.B. The founding of Bilingualism Matters.C. A new challenge facing language teaching.D. A professor fighting to save minority languages.CThere is such a thing as a free lunch, it turns out, as long as you don't mind too much what it is. Tamara Wilson found hers a few streets away from her west London home—and as well as picking up some unwanted bread and fruit that would otherwise be thrown away, she made a new friend.Wilson is one of 3.4 million people around the world using an app designed to encourage people to give away rather than throw away surplus (剩余的) food. "It's such a small thing, but it makes me feel good and my neighbour feel good. And a lot of small acts can end up making a big difference," she said.The last few years have seen an explosion in creative ways to tackle food waste by linking supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and individual households to local communities. Olio, the app used by Wilson, saw a fivefold increase in listings during 2022, and the signs are that this rapid growth is continuing into 2023, said Tessa Clarke, its CEO and co-founder.About a third of all food produced globally is wasted, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). Almost 1.4 billion hectares of land—close to 30% of the world's agricultural land—is dedicated to producing food that is never eaten, and the carbon footprint of food wastage makes it the third contributor of CO2. Reducing food waste is one of the most effective ways of tackling the global climate crisis.Olio, Clarke said, was an attempt to change this on a small, local scale. "The app connects people with others who have surplus food but don't have anyone to give it to because so many people are disconnected from their communities." Users of Olio post images of surplus food that others in the neighbourhood might want. Olio also has a network of 24,000 volunteers who collect surplus food from local supermarkets and stores for app users to claim.Despite the success of the app, it was hard to make a difference to the huge scale of food waste, Clarke added. "Even though we're doing well, we've only scratched the surface (触及表面). But if everyone makes small changes in the world, we'd dramatically reduce the amount of food that ends up in bins (垃圾桶)."8. What does the author want to show by telling Wilson's story?A. People tend to use apps to order food.B. People prefer to make friends on apps.C. People find a high-tech fix to food waste.D. People show more concern for each other.9. What's the consequence of food waste according to the text?A. Global warming.B. Loss of land.C. World hunger.D. Poverty and inequality.10. What does Olio do to help tackle food waste？A. It sells surplus food to those in need.B. It allows volunteers to slay connected.C. It provides a platform for people to promote food.D. It fills the information gap between green communities.11. What does Clarke think of the work on reducing food waste globally?A. It is a great success.B. It requires joint efforts.C. It is beyond human power.D. It has won public support.DWhile the benefits of Zoom and other videoconferencing tools made them absolutely essential in the pandemic (疫情), the research suggests that heavy reliance on the technology comes at a cost to creative thinking.Brucks at Columbia University and her team started their investigation when managers reported having trouble innovating with remote workers. Brucks doubted whether videoconferencing was a factor, suspecting that difficulties coordinating (协调) large, global teams online might be to blame instead.To find out, the researchers analysed ideas for new products generated by 1,490 engineers for a multinational company. The engineers, who were in Finland, Hungary, India, Israel and Portugal, were randomly paired up and given an hour or so to brainstorm products either in person or over videoconferencing. They then selected their best idea.Writing in Nature, the researchers report that the engineers produced more ideas, and more innovative ideas, when working face to face. "They are not only generating a larger number of creative ideas, but their best idea is better," Brucks said. Virtual teams were just as good at selecting the best ideas from a bunch as those that met in person."Visual focus is a huge component of cognitive (认知) focus. When you're focused on the screen and ignoring the rest of the environment, that affects how you approach the task," said Brucks. "It's uniquely bad for creativity because it's inhibiting broader exploration."Brucks said the impact on the real world "could be huge", leading to a division of labour between face-to-face and virtual meetings that could "permanently reshape the office and work schedules". But she urged businesses to be cautious, because if virtual meetings are cheaper than in-person ones, they may still be morecost-effective.Asked for tips, Brucks said people could save more creative tasks for in-person meetings, or turn off their camera when coming up with ideas. "I think it unlocks more creative thinking," she said.12. Why did Brucks conduct the research?A. To prove her assumption.B. To clarify a new concept.C. To make a comparison.D. To explain a rule.13. What is the finding of the research?A. Face-to-face gatherings promote cross-culture ties.B. Workers think less creatively in virtual meetings.C. Individual work generates more innovative ideas.D. Videoconferencing has an irreplaceable role.14. What does the underlined word "inhibiting" in paragraph 5 mean?A. Encouraging.B. Requiring.C. Beginning.D. Preventing.15. What does Brucks say about virtual meetings?A. They should be used accordingly.B. They'll make office workers divided.C. They'll give way to in-person meetings.D. They help businesses run more efficiently.People have tried everything to get more sleep. But unlike almost every other area of life, effort is not rewarded. (1)The more you try, the less you are likely to succeed. Here are some ways to improve your sleep that might just work.(2) There is nothing you can do between now and bedtime to guarantee that you will sleep tonight. There is, however, plenty you can start doing to improve your chances of sleeping well next month. So instead of worrying about the night ahead, make sleeping well a long-term goal and expect to see progress in a few weeks rather than tomorrow.Have a late night. Adults need to be awake for at least 16 hours to generate enough sleep-drive to sleep for eight hours at night. Having an early night can mean you won't be sleepy enough to fall asleep quickly and easily. Don't pay too much attention to the exact times or he hours of sleep you are getting—the details don't matter. And don't take naps(小睡) in the day. (3)Smile more. Smiling can reduce tension and promote relaxation. As you turn the light out at night, try to think of something funny and smile lo yourself in the dark. (4)Even a fake smile is enough to send a message to the brain to change your mood and retrain the brain to be comfortable with being awake, thus reducing tension and allowing sleep to follow.Stop reading articles about sleep. None of the researching, monitoring or analyzing actually leads to better sleep. In fact, constantly looking for a solution is undoubtedly making things worse. (5) Make this the last article you read on the subject, then go and find something more interesting to think about.A. Try to stay awake at night.B. In fact, it is actively punished.C. Give up trying to sleep tonight.D. So give sleep less of your attention.E. They take the edge off your appetite for sleep.F. It doesn't have to be a genuine, heartfelt smile.G. You have to do things differently to get a different outcome.16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF.

My laptop was filled with the beginning of novels, half-finished song lyrics(歌词)—things I'd started with teenage (21) only to be disappointed by my lack of creativity. I was (22) trying to find a new way to approach life, with no one to (23) me in the right direction.One Saturday, I went to a training day for my school's new journalism team.

Bored and in need of a (25) , I immediately set up a Blogger account.As I typed post after post in the months that followed, I assumed I would run out of (26) .

Home to the headwaters of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang rivers, the San jiang yuan area on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (青藏高原) is known as "China's water tower". It is a (1) (whole) unique plateau wetland ecosystem and serves as (2) important ecological defense for the country. Decades ago, serious environmental degradation (恶化) in San jiang yuan, (3) was caused by climate change and human activities, resulted in a large number of lakes drying out and wildlife numbers falling sharply.In 2016, the pilot program for the San jiang yuan National Park management system (4) (launch). Through painstaking practice, development and innovation, efforts have been made (5) (turn) the park into a symbol of the progress of China's ecological civilization. Over the past years, the ecological environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (6) (experience) comprehensive changes. Water conservation in the area has risen (7) 11 percent every year, compared with 10 years ago. Local residents enjoy the gifts given by nature, and the (8) (establish) of the national park has enabled them to transform from exploiting (开发) nature to becoming its protectors and benefiting from it. Some work as tour guides, (9) (assist) visitors from home and abroad.Today, as people walk on the vast land of San jiang yuan, looking at the expansive mountains, glaciers, lakes and pastures, (10) catching sight of wild animals and birds, they cannot help be impressed by the vastness and beauty of nature.(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)37. 假定你是李华，春节期间你和朋友 Mike 一起出游，你刚收到他发给你的照片。

She said that college seniors are always amazed by how much work goes into finding a job. “Many college seniors have great resumes (简历) from internships and other part- or full-time jobs. But they are surprised by how long the interviewing process takes,” Many even become discouraged when they are rejected for a role, too. However, there are a lot of ways to increase your chances of finding the perfect role.“Don’t just look for jobs online,” said LeMay. “Although it’s easy to find jobs on the internet, over 85 percent of job seekers are also looking at the same jobs.” “Hundreds of people can apply for each position and employers get inundated with responses,” she said. If you do find a job online, LeMay recommends first looking within your own contacts. “It’s good to find out if you have someone in your network that could help you get connected,” she said.LeMay also advises writing a separate application for each role. “Your resume needs to stand out from your competition and the best way to do that is to customize (定制) it to the specific job you are applying for,” said LeMay. In the experience section, be sure to highlight accomplishments that match the job description. This will show a future employer that you’re qualified for the role.A job search can take three to six months or longer, so don’t take rejection personally. You will not get a job offer from every interview, but don’t let that affect your confidence. It’simportant to keep trying. “Many college graduates have their hopes set on one or two companies and when the job doesn’t come through they are devastated (难以承受),” said LeMay. “Keep your mind and your options open— there are many incredible career opportunities you haven’t heard of yet.”4．What does Joyce LeMay mainly talk about?A．Job rejection is common and frustrating.B．College seniors prepare their resumes well.C．College seniors do have job opportunities.D．Job interviews consume-too much energy.5．What does the underlined word “inundated” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Charged.B．FloodedC．Trapped D．Equipped.6．Why does LeMay encourage college graduates to keep trying?A．The incredible jobs are always there.B．Hunting a job helps improve abilities.C．Each interview guarantees a job offer.D．A positive mind ensures a good interview,7．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．How can you avoid frustration in job hunt?B．Why should you make resumes stand out?C．Why should you keep your options open?D．How can you find your perfect jobs?Shocking declines in bird populations are taking place around the world. Loss of natural habitats is cited as the key threat to bird biodiversity. Climate change is identified as a possible driver of bird population declines.“We are now witnessing the first signs of a new wave of extinctions of continentally distributed bird species,” says lead author Alexander Lees, senior lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom. “Bird diversity peaks globally in the tropics and it is there that we also find the highest number of threatened species.”The study says about 48% of existing bird species worldwide are known or suspected to be undergoing population declines. Populations are stable for 39% of species. Only 6% areshowing increasing population trends, and the status of 7% is still unknown. The study authors reviewed changes in bird biodiversity using data from the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s“Red List” to reveal population changes among the world’s 11,000 bird species, The findings mirror the results of a 2019 study which determined that nearly 3 billion breeding birds have been lost during the past 50 years across the United States and Canada.Despite their findings, study authors say there is hope for bird conservation efforts, but transformative change is needed. “The fate of bird populations is strongly dependent on stopping the loss of habitats,” says Lees. “That is often driven by demand for resources. We need to better consider how commodity (货物) flows can contribute to biodiversity loss and try to reduce the human footprint on the natural world.”“Fortunately, the global network of bird conservation organizations taking part in this study have the tools to prevent further loss of bird species and abundance,” adds Rosenberg. “From land protection to policies supporting sustainable resource-use, it all depends on the will of governments to live side by side with nature on our shared planet.”8．What’s the main cause of bird extinction?A．Significant climate change.B．Destruction of their habitatsC．Human’s overuse of wetland.D．A new wave of bird immigration. 9．How does the author display the gravity of the new wave?A．By listing concrete data.B．By providing examples.C．By interviewing-people.D．By explaining concepts.10．What plays a key role in preventing further loss of birds?A．Relevant education.B．Government policies.C．Environmental activities.D．Conservation organizations. 11．What does the text mainly talk about?A．Roles of conservation organizations.B．Diversity of global bird species.C．Hope for environmental protectionD．Decline of global bird population.As most parts of the country enter the summer flood season, weather events will again put the country’s disaster preparedness to test.Some areas in the south of the country are experiencing what the National Meteorological Center calls the strongest rainfall in 60 years. Other parts of northwestern and central China, as well as the Yellow and Huaihe river valleys, have been under the control of heat waves.On Sunday, the Ministry of Water Resources and the China Meteorological Administration issued the year’s first red alert for flash floods. On Monday, the National Meteorological Center sustained red alerts for high temperatures, yellow alerts for storms and fog, and blue alerts for severe convective (对流) weather.According to experts, this round of strong rainfall will be long-lasting, wide-ranging and of very strong intensity (强度) in some areas. The waters in 75 rivers across the country have already risen above the warning levels.As the lessons from the past few years have taught us, climate change has considerably increased the frequency, intensity and damaging potential of extreme weather events. And, most worrisome of all, their severity has frequently made people victims before they know it.The upsetting potential of severe weather would still be beyond most people’s imagination had it not been the 2021 floods in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province. It exposed the consequences of poor urban planning, inadequate drainage systems, inactive disaster preparedness and slow emergency responses.The importance of multi-hazard early warning systems and natural disaster response preparedness was highlighted in the sixth Assessment Report that the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released in August 2021.The report provided evidence that extreme hydrometeorological events, such as droughts, floods and heat waves, are increasing as is the severity of their impacts on everyday life around the globe as well as harming fragile ecosystems. It concludes that climate change is widespread, rapid and intensifying, and extreme weather will become more frequent. 12．Why were alerts of different levels issued?A．To stress the severity of the rainfall?B．To take advantage of the water resources.C．To receive the public’s favourable response.D．To warn people against bad weather conditions.13．What is the biggest potential threat according to the text?A．People’s unawareness.B．Climate change.C．Frequent weather events.D．Rising dire levels.14．Why did the author mention the 2021 floods in Paragraph 6?A．To remind people of the terrible disaster.B．To stress the importance of preparedness.C．To make a comparison between disasters.D．To expose people’s lack of imagination.15．What might the author write in the next paragraph?A．How to change the existing climate.B．How to research extreme weather.C．How to make accurate predictions.D．How to get prepared for disasters.二、七选五It can be hard for one person to protect the environment by himself. If you teenagers want to do something, like stopping pollution or protecting wildlife, you can gatherfriends can be up to the task.Choose a cause. Some good ideas might be something like, “Save the whales!” But nothing says you can’t do more than one cause. 17 For example, you could work to save polar bears in November, plant trees in December, and stop global warming in January.18 This can be as simple as “The Environmental Club” or as cool as “Team Environment”. You can also use some other words, such as green, environmental, friendly, and of course, something that relates to your cause.Find a clubhouse. Now that you have your club, you must find a place where all the members can get together to discuss your projects. 19 If your parents allow it, you can choose your yard or even your living room as the place for your club meetings.Decide on jobs. You can work as an activity organizer, a project manager or the president who decides all the meeting times, new members, meeting places, activities and projects. Each person can have a different job. 20 And how? Often remind them of the same goal they’re working towards.A．Name your club.B．Great minds think alike.C．After all, saving the world is a big job.D．Choose members to hold all the meetings.E．Your club could do a different cause every month.F．It could be in the woods, in the park or in the classroom.G．But encourage all members to support each other’s work.三、完形填空There was always a drive in us to do something on our own.
