You ’re welcome第一节阅读以下短文，从每题所给旳四个选项（A、 B、 C 和 D）中，选出最正确选项·A new study suggests that early exposure to germs(细菌) strengthens the immune(免疫旳 )system. That means letting children get a little dirty might be good for their health later in life.The study involved laboratory mice. It found that adult mice raised in a germ-freeenvironment were more likely to develop allergies,asthma and other autoimmune disorders. There are more than eighty disorders where cells that normally defend the body insteadattack tissues and organs.Richard Blumberg，who led the study, is a professor at Harvard Medical School inBoston ， Massachusetts. He says, in 1989, medical researchers who sought to explain t hese diseases, first discovered that the increasing use of antibacterial soaps and otherproducts, especially early in life, could weaken immune systems.Now, Dr. Blumberg and his team have what is the first biological evidence to linkearly exposure to germs to stronger adult immune systems. They say this exposure couldprevent the development of some autoimmune diseases.In the adult germ-free mice, they found that inflammation(发炎)in the lungs and colon was caused by so-called killer T cells.These normally fight infection.But they became overactive and targeted healthy tissue—an autoimmune condition seen in asthma and adisease called ulcerative colitis.Dr. Blumberg says the mice raised in a normal environment did not have the samereaction.He says their immune systems had been “educated ”by early exposure to germs.Rates of autoimmune disorders are rising worldwide,but mostly in wealthier, industrialized countries. According to Dr. Blumberg, it might be high time that people were warned to be more careful with the early use of antibiotics (抗生素) and the prescription from their doctors.Rob Dunn is a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. He says the new study does not mean people should stop washing.“Wash your hands, but don ’t do it with antibacterial soap. Let your kids play in areasonable amount of dirt and get outside and get exposed to a diversity of things”,16.Who first found immune systems might get harmed by overly using antibacterialproducts?A. A professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.B. A professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston.C. Medical researchers who tried to explain autoimmune disorders.D. Medical researchers who tried to treat autoimmune disorders.17.To keep healthy in the future, children had better _______.A. play in a dirty environment once in a whileB. live in a germ-free environmentC. use plenty of antibacterial soapsD. stay in developed countries18.Why are germ-free mice easy to develop lung inflammation?A. Because their T cells fight bacteria effectively.B. Because their T cells attack the healthy tissues.C. Because their lungs become abnormally active.D. Because their lungs have weaker tissues.19.It can be inferred from the text that _______.A. washing hands is no longer a good habit for childrenB. antibiotics will be forbidden in children’s hospitalsC. exposure to dirt helps build children’s charactersD. the abuse of antibiotics may be condemned第二节依据短文内容，从短文后旳选项中选出能填入空白处旳最正确选项，选项中有两项为多余选项·●Hi, Carolyn: It’s been a bad time for my husband and me.

It’s so personal that it’s hard to make suggestions, butwhat are you reliably good at, what gives you great pleasure, and what puts smiles onyour face? 22For many it’s just getting to the other side, knowing you have afavorite book or the person you love waiting for you at the end of the day.Personally,being a momalso comes with difficult lows, since all kids struggle with the world and w ith their parents. It’s their job. While you say“so many things go wrong, ” I actually count two in your letter—losing your baby and your job. 23But you do have your general health, your talents, your marriage, your friends, yourfamily, and other abilities and interests to move you forward. 24—Carolyn A.

Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores. 2 Of the 11 products thatdid contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent realfruit. In addition, each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar.3 Let’s take jam as an example. Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled ascontaining no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained absolutelyno strawberries at all.4 Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought. Under current UK law, food packages do not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. “Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of thepacket with pictures of strawberries is misleading. 5 Unfortunately, it is alsolegal and widespread，” Tokelove said. “It’s time to take measures to protect the consumers’ rights. ”A. The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.B. Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.C. They found that about 60 percent of them didn’t contain any fruit at all.D. If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are likely to do so.。

Jason got straight A’s and was determined to study medicine at Harvard, yet this was his downfall. His physics teacher gave Jason a B, a mark Jason believed would undermine(损害) his entrance to Harvard. After receiving his B, Jason took a butcher knife to school and stabbedhis physics teacher.How can someone as smart as Jason do something so dumb? Studies show there is little or nocorrelation between IQ and emotional intelligence.During my early university years, I regarded myself as an intelligent guy. I got good marks inmathematics, physics, and other subjects. I thought such skills would surely give me a bright future.After one year of study with decent marks, I began to see two major classes of students. The firstcategory of students turned up to few lectures, partied every weekend, enjoyed a great social life, anddid minimal work to pass courses. The second category of students were intelligent and hard workerswho got good grades and were very focused on their studies. Surely would these intelligent andhard-working students find the great jobs before the other lazier class of students?Not so. Students are often shocked upon graduation that their qualifications are not as important asthey once thought. Graduates enter the workforce only to realize that co-workers hate them and lessintelligent people are the ones receiving promotions.Educational skills are useless in some industries when interpersonal skills are absent. You canhave great ideas, theories, and solve complex problems, but if you cannot effectively communicate in apersuasive and exciting manner by relating to your fellow humans, you will face an uphill battle inwhatever challenges you encounter. It’s not that people dislike you because of your intelligence;it’sthat people dislike you because you’re rude and not understanding. The intelligent person with poorcommunication skills is insensitive or una ware of others’ emotions.20. Jason Haffizulla stabbed his physics teacher because _______.A. he was unfairly treated by his teacherB. he was disappointed with his downfallC. he was not smart enough at studiesD. he got a worse mark than usual21. We can infer from the third paragraph that the author _______ in his early university years.A. didn’t think communication skills were as important as intelligenceB. didn’t work hardC. belonged to the first category of studentsD. could keep a balance between social life and studies22. Intelligent people are hated because _______.A. they can solve more complex problemsB. they can’t settle the challenges they meetC. they are envied for their intelligenceD. they are not understanding enough23. The main purpose of the text is to tell us _______.A. the relationship between IQ and emotional intelligenceB. what kind of students can succeed in collegeC. smart people may have poorer communication skillsD. intelligent students will meet more challenges at work答案解析【文章大意】有旳人可能有超人旳智商，在大学有不斐旳学业成绩，但是他们却缺少与人交往旳能力，这可能成为某些大学毕业生在未来所面临旳一个问题·情商、智商，哪个更重要？20.【解析】选D·细节理解题·从文章第一段中旳His physics teacher gave Jason a B, a mark Jason believed would undermine his entrance to Harvard. After receiving his B, Jason took a butcher knife to school and stabbed his physics teacher. 可知，Jason Haffizulla刺杀他旳物理老师旳原因是老师给了他一个B, 他认为这会影响到他进入哈佛大学学习·21.【解析】选A·推理判断题·从第三段中旳During my early university years, I regarded myself asan intelligent guy. . . . I thought such skills would surely give me a bright future. 可以看出，作者在大学之初认为学业好就有好前程，而对情商却没有那么看重·22.【解析】选D·细节理解题·从文章最后一段中旳It’s not that people dislike you because of your intelligence; it’s that people dislike you because you’re rude and not understanding.可知，那些高智商旳人之所以不受欢迎，得不到提升是因为他们待人粗鲁，不善解人意·23.【解析】选C·写作意图题·本文旨在通过具体旳事例来说明人旳情商、交流能力在社会生存方面远比人旳智商要重要得多，而有许多智商特别高旳人却因为没有良好旳情商而失去了很多机会，也不能建立良好旳人际关系·故本题选C·********************************************************结束A baby born in India has been declared the world's seven billionth person by childrights group Plan International. Baby Nargis was born at 07:25 local time (01:55GMT) in Mall village in India's Uttar Pradesh state. Plan International says Nargis has been chosen symbolically as it is not possible to know where exactly the sevenbillionth baby is born. In addition to baby Nargis in India, Bangladesh, the Philippines and Cambodia have all identified seven billionth babies. The UnitedNations estimated that on Monday 31 October, the world's population would reach seven billion.Populations are growing faster than economies in many poor countries in Africa and some in Asia. At the same time, low birth rates in Japan and many European nationshave raised concerns about labor shortages.Population experts at the United Nations estimated that the world reached six billionin October 1999. They predict nine billion by 2050 and ten billion by the end ofthe century. China's population of one and a third billion is currently the world's largest. India is second at 1.2 billion. But India is expected to pass China andreach one and a half billion people around 2025.India will also have one of the world's youngest populations. Economists say thisis a chance for a so-called demographic dividend. India could gain from the skillsof young people in a growing economy at a time when other countries have agingpopulations. But economists say current rates of growth, although high, may notcreate enough jobs. Also, the public education system is failing to meet demand and schooling is often of poor quality. Another concern is health care. Nearly half of India's children under the age of five are malnourished（营养不良）.Michal Rutkowski, the director of human d evelopment in South Asia at the World Bank, says reaching seven billion people in the world is a good time for a call to action. He says, "I think the bottom line of the story is that the public policy needs tobecome really, really serious about sex equality and about access to services --to fight against malnutrition, and to provide for access to health services, water and schooling."61. What is true about the world's seven billionth person?A. Baby Nargis is not the only child chosen as the seven billionth baby.B. Baby Nargis has been chosen carefully so it is exactly the seven billionth babyC. Bangladesh, the Philippines and Cambodia have all declared Baby Nargis as theseven billionth baby.D. The United Nations declared Baby Nargis born in India's Uttar Pradesh state asthe world's seven billionth person.62. Which of the following problems do many European countries worry about?A. Labor shortage.B. Poor health careC. Not enough jobsD. schooling of poor quality63. According to population experts, how long will it take for population to growfrom six billion to nine billion?A. About 12 years.B. About 40 years.C. About 50 years.D. About 110 years.64. What does the underlined phrase “demographic dividend” in the fourth paragraph refer to?A. Possibility of lower birth rate.B. Benefit gained by working age peopleC. Chances for more employment.D. Disadvantages caused by aging population.65. Which of the following public policies does Michal Rutkowski call on?A.

I ’d just 21 and returned my parents ’home while I looked for gainful 22 . I didn ’t have a car. When I mentioned this23 to my dad, he said “You can borrow your mother ’s to hunt the job. ” Mother ’s vehicle was 24 during holiday.I sulked( 不快乐 ) for a day or two, but my sulk was not having the desired 25 onmy dad. If you knew my dad, you wouldn ’t be 26 . He wasn ’t the type of fatherto just give his 27 whatever they wanted.I was ecstatic( 狂喜旳 ) when I got a job. Now, I ’d HAVE to have my own car.

He came home with a second-hand Impala.“Let ’s buy the car. ” I said. “I ’m not buying it, ” replied my father, a 32 of surprise on his face. “But, Dad! ” Now it was my turn to be surprised. I ’d 33 worked one week. . .“ You could buy the car, and I could 34 later. ” I said. Maybe Dad would forget that 35 and won’t ask me for the money.“You could go to the bank to get a loan, ” he said. Oh, I was so angry! A loan!I was barely out of school a month, and now I ’d be in 36 . I refused to speak toDad on the drive to the bank. My father did agree to co-sign for the loan. But he madeit very clear that he wouldn’t make the payments if I quit my job. I agreed to the bank’s 37, as well as my father’s.That was years ago. But I was proud of that car. No, I was 38 that I ’d bought that car. I had made every single payment 39 my own. That was quite an achievement for a twenty-two-year-old who just left school and never had such an adult 40 .21.

2019高考英语考前50天（阅读理解）训练秘笈（2）及解析AI still clearly remember that day. I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep. I put signs in the windows that said, “Need a jack (千斤顶）. ”As I was about to give up, a truck stopped and a man got off. He looked at the situation, made a judgment and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished thejob with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife took a large bottle of water for us towash our hands.I tried to put $20 in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so I went to giveit to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked their little girl where they lived, thinking maybe I’d send them a gift. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now,so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they weregoing to pick peaches and then go back home.After I said goodbye and started going back to my jeep, the girl ran to me and handed me a tamale(玉米粽子）for lunch. I thanked them again and walked back to my jeep. WhenI opened the tamale, what did I find inside? My $20! I ran to the truck and the guyrolled down his window. He started shaking his head, smiled, and with what looked likegreat concentration said in English, “Today you, tomorrow me. ”Then he drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back.This family, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.Since then I’ve helped many people like the Mexican family.

The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whetherto place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images ofthe wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouchedis strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real. Some o f these wildernesses also perform functions that humans n eed—the rainforests,for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr.Sauven, these ”ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation.Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. Heacknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, orindeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on theEarth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather thanmerely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them inabundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernessesprovide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that bothcases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. Andthere is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited withoutharm.This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also theguidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation ofthe world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.67. John Sauven holds that_____.A. many people value nature too muchB. exploitation of wildernesses is harmfulC. wildernesses provide humans with necessitiesD. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong68. What is the main idea of Para. 3?A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.C. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.69. What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?A. Objective.B. Disapproving.C. Sceptical.D.Optimistic.70. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A. B. C.

Many people think that they have to accept whatever lifethrows at them. They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny.I cannot change it."Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly.Your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors.I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has doneeverything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in themorning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep.Next day, the same routine cycle follows.Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her bestand just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended forher to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants usto be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting (运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.Remember that you harvest what you sow. You just don't sit around and wait for amillion dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyesoff the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it asa temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most ofthe situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to thinkpositively; you also have to act positively.If someone's life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So itis with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to doyour best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.71.According to the woman mentioned in Para.3, her life ____________.A.

Almost half of them have at least one part-time job. In fact，one of my students has three jobs. And she still manages to have high scores and go to school full-time. ”Textbook prices are traditionally high. Adding to that problem，many college teachers change textbooks year after year；they either upgrade to a new edition or switch to an entirely different textbook. This further hurts students because if an instructorno longer uses a particular textbook，that book has no resale value.Dr. Jason decided to make reading a little easier and a lot cheaper for his students by writing his own book on public speaking. “Many books have an increased price because of CD-ROMs，lots of color photographs and pictures. I talked to my students，and many of them，like me，prefer to keep things simple! So，a few years ago，I wrote my own textbook. Compared to most other public speaking books，mine is half the number of pages，and one-third the price. That is，$30 instead of $90. When I wrote a secondedition last year，students only had to buy the 35 new pages, For only $7. 00，they had almost a new book. Now m y l oose-leaf textbook enjoys great popularity among t he students. Maybe in the future more writers and publishers will try it. ”40. What did Dr. Jason say about students at college?A. They are short of money.B. They need better textbooks.C. They should do part-time jobs.D. They are trying to get high scores.41. What did Dr. Jason decide to do to help the students?A. To choose cheaper textbooks.B. To write a textbook himself.C. To speak to his students.D. To use old textbooks.42. How much does a public speaking textbook usually cost?A. About 7 dollars.B. About 30 dollars.C. About 37 dollars.D. About 90 dollars.43.

备战高考英语名校模拟真题速递(江苏专用)第六期专题06 阅读理解之说明文10篇（2024·江苏南通·模拟预测）Mark Temple, a medical molecular (分子的) biologist, used to spend a lot of time in his lab researching new drugs for cancer treatments. He would extract DNA from cells and then add a drug to see where it was binding (结合) along the chemical sequence(序列). Before he introduced the drug, he’d look at DNA combination on a screen to see what might work best for the experiment, but the visual readout of the sequences was often unimaginably large.So Temple wondered if there was an easier way to detect favorable patterns. I realized I wanted to hear the sequence,” says Temple, who is also a musician. He started his own system of assigning notes to the different elements of DNA — human DNA is made of four distinct bases, so it was easy to start off with four notes — and made a little tune out of his materials. This trick indeed helped him better spot patterns in the sequences, which allowed him to make better choices about which DNA combinations to use.Temple isn’t the first person to turn scientific data into sound. In the past 40 years, researchers have gone from exploring this trick as a fun way to spot patterns in their studies tousing it as a guide to discovery. And the scientific community has come to realize that there’s some long-term value in this type of work. Temple, who from that first experiment has created his own algorithmic software to turn data into sound, believes the resulting music can be used to improve research and science communication.So Temple decided to add layers of sound to make the sonification (可听化) into songs. He sees a clear difference between “sonification” and “musification”. Using sound to represent data is scientific, but very different from using creative input to make songs. The musical notes from DNA may be melodic to the human ear, but they don’t sound like a song you’d listen to on the radio. So when he tried to sonify the virus, he added layers of drums and guitar, and had some musician friends add their own music to turn the virus into a full-blown post-rock song.Temple sees this work as an effective communication tool that will help a general audience understand complex systems in biology. He has performed his songs in public at concert halls in Australia.1．What is Mark Temple’s purpose in turning DNA data into sound?A．To help him fight boredom.B．To develop his creative ability.C．To make his drug more powerful.D．To aid the process of his experiments.2．What can we learn about Temple’s system?A．Its effect remains to be seen.B．It failed to work as expected.C．It is too complicated to operate.D．It has produced satisfying results.3．Why did Temple try to make the virus sound like real music when sonifying it?A．To get rid of public fear of the virus.B．To show h1s talent in producing music.C．To facilitate people’s understanding of science.D．To remind people or the roe or Science in art creation.4．What does the text mainly talk about?A．Why scientists are turning molecules into music.B．How scientists help the public understand science.C．Why music can be the best way to present science.D．How music helps scientists conduct their research.（2024·江苏南通·模拟预测）Phonics, which involves sounding out words syllable (音节) by syllable, is the best way to teach children to read. But in many classrooms, this can be a dirty word. So much so that some teachers have had to take phonics teaching materials secretly into the classroom. Most American children are taught to read in a way that study after study has found to be wrong.The consequences of this are striking. Less than half of all American adults were efficient readers in 2017. American fourth graders rank 15th on the Progress in International Literacy Study, an international exam.America is stuck in a debate about teaching children to read that has been going on for decades. Some advocate teaching symbol sound relationships (the sound k can be spelled as c, k, ck, or ch) known as phonics Others support an immersive approach (using pictures of cat to learn the word cat), known as “whole language”. Most teachers today, almost three out of four according to a survey by EdWeek Research Centre in 2019, use a mix of the two methods called “balanced literacy”.“A little phonics is far from enough.” says Tenette Smith, executive director of elementary education and reding at Mississippi’s education department. “It has to be systematic and explicitly taught.”Mississippi, often behind in social policy, has set an example here. In a state once blamed for its low reading scores, the Mississippi state legislature passed new literacy standards in 2013.Since then Mississippi has seen remarkable gains., Its fourth graders have moved from 49th (out of 50 states) to 20th on the National assessment of Educational Progress, a nationwide exam.Mississippi’s success is attributed to application of reading methods supported by a body of research known as the science of reading. In 1997 experts from the Department of Education ended the “reading war” and summed up the evidence. They found that phonics, along with explicit instruction in phonemic (音位的) awareness,fluency and comprehension, worked best.Yet over two decades on, “balanced literacy” is still being taught in classrooms. But advances in statistics and brain imaging have disproved the whole-language method. To the teacher who is an efficient reader, literacy seem like a natural process that requires educated guessing, rather than the deliberate process emphasized by phonics. Teachers can imagine that they learned to read through osmosis(潜移默化) when they were children. Without proper training, they bring this to classrooms.5．What do we learn about phonics in many American classrooms?A．It is ill reputed.B．It is mostly misapplied.C．It is totally ignored.D．It is seemingly contradictory.6．What has America been witnessing?A．A burning passion for improving teaching methods.B．A lasting debate over how to teach children to read.C．An increasing concern with children’s inadequacy in literacy.D．A forceful advocacy of a combined method for teaching reading.7．What’s Tenette Smith’s attitude towards “balanced literacy”?A．Tolerant.B．Enthusiastic.C．Unclear.D．Disapproving.8．According to the author what contributed to Mississippi’s success?A．Focusing on the natural process rather than deliberate training.B．Obtaining support from other states to upgrade teaching methods.C．Adopting scientifically grounded approaches to teaching reading.D．Placing sufficient emphasis upon both fluency and comprehension.（2024·江苏泰州·一模）A satellite is an object in space that orbits around another. It has two kinds — natural satellites and artificial satellites. The moon is a natural satellite that moves around the earth while artificial satellites are those made by man.Despite their widespread impact on daily life, artificial satellites mainly depend on different complicated makeups. On the outside, they may look like a wheel, equipped with solar panels or sails. Inside, the satellites contain mission-specific scientific instruments, which include whatever tools the satellites need to perform their work. Among them, high-resolution cameras and communication electronics are typical ones. Besides, the part that carries the load and holds all the parts together is called the bus.Artificial satellites operate in a systematic way just like humans. Computers function as the satellite’s brain, which receive information, interpret it, and send messages back to the earth. Advanced digital cameras serve asthe satellite’s eyes. Sensors are other important parts that not only recognize light, heat, and gases, but also record changes in what is being observed. Radios on the satellite send information back to the earth. Solar panels provide electrical power for the computers and other equipment, as well as the power to move the satellite forward.Artificial satellites use gravity to stay in their orbits. Earth’s gravity pulls everything toward the center of the planet. To stay in the earth’s orbit, the speed of a satellite must adjust to the tiniest changes in the pull of gravity. The satellite’s speed works against earth’s gravity just enough so that it doesn’t go speeding into space or falling back to the earth.Rockets carry satellites to different types and heights of orbits, based on the tasks they need to perform. Satellites closer to the earth are in low-earth orbit, which can be 200-500 miles high. The closer to the earth, the stronger the gravity is. Therefore, these satellites must travel at about 17,000 miles per hour to keep from falling back to the earth, while higher-orbiting satellites can travel more slowly.9．What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?A．The appearance of artificial satellites.B．The components of artificial satellites.C．The basic function of artificial satellites.D．The specific mission of artificial satellites.10．What is the role of computers in artificial satellites?A．Providing electrical power.B．Recording changes observed.C．Monitoring space environment.D．Processing information received.11．How do artificial satellites stay in their orbits?A．By relying on powerful rockets to get out of gravity.B．By orbiting at a fixed speed regardless of gravity’s pull.C．By changing speed constantly based on the pull of gravity.D．By resisting the pull of gravity with advanced technologies.12．Why do satellites in higher-earth orbit travel more slowly?A．They are more affected by earth’s gravity.B．They take advantage of rockets more effectively.C．They have weaker pull of gravity in higher orbits.D．They are equipped with more advanced instruments.（2024·江苏泰州·一模）The human body possesses an efficient defense system to battle with flu viruses. The immune system protects against the attack of harmful microbes (微生物) by producing chemicals called antibodies, which are programmed to destroy a specific type of microbe. They travel in the blood and search the body for invaders (入侵者). When they find an invasive microbe, antibodies attack and destroy any cell thatcontains the virus. However, flu viruses can be a terrible enemy. Even if your body successfully fights against the viruses, with their ability to evolve rapidly, your body may have no protection or immunity from the new ones.Your body produces white blood cells to protect you against infectious diseases. Your body can detect invading microbes in your bloodstream because they carry antigens in their proteins. White blood cells in your immune system, such as T cells, can sense antigens in the viruses in your cells. Once your body finds an antigen, it takes immediate action in many different ways. For example, T cells produce more antibodies, call in cells that eat microbes, and destroy cells that are infected with a virus.One of the best things about the immune system is that it will always remember a microbe it has fought before and know just how to fight it again in the future. Your body can learn to fight so well that your immune system can completely destroy a virus before you feel sick at all.However, even the most cautious people can become infected. Fortunately, medical scientists have developed vaccines (疫苗), which are weakened or dead flu viruses that enter a person’s body before the person gets sick. These viruses cause the body to produce antibodies to attack and destroy the strong viruses that may invade during flu season.13．Why does flu pose a threat to the immune system?A．Microbes contain large quantities of viruses.B．Antibodies are too weak to attack flu viruses.C．The body has few effective ways to tackle flu.D．It’s hard to keep pace with the evolution of viruses.14．What does the underlined word “antigens” refer to in Paragraph 2?A．The cell protecting your body from viruses.B．The matter serving as the indicator of viruses.C．The antibodies helping to fight against viruses.D．The substance destroying cells infected with viruses.15．How do vaccines defend the body against the flu viruses?A．They strengthen the body’s immune system.B．They battle against weakened or dead viruses.C．They help produce antibodies to wipe out viruses.D．They expose the body to viruses during flu season.16．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Antibodies Save Our Health.B．Vaccines Are Of Great Necessity.C．Infectious Flu Viruses Are Around.D．Human Body Fights Against Flu Viruses.（23-24高三下·江苏扬州·开学考试）A recent study, led by Professor Andrew Barron, Dr. HaDi MaBouDi, and Professor James Marshall, illustrates how evolution has fine-tuned honey bees to make quick judgments while minimizing danger.“Animal lives are full of decisions,” says Professor Barron. “A honey bee has a brain smaller than a sesame (芝麻) seed. And yet it can make decisions faster and more accurately than’ we can. A robot programmed to do a bee’s job would need the backup of a supercomputer.”Bees need to work quickly and efficiently. They need to make decisions. Which flower will have a sweet liquid? While they’re flying, they face threats from the air. While landing, they’re vulnerable to potential hunter, some of which pretend to look like flowers.Researchers trained 20 bees to associate each of the five different colored “flower disks” with their visit history of reward and punishment. Blue flowers always had sugar juice. Green flowers always had a type of liquid with a bitter taste for bees. Other colors sometimes had glucose (葡萄糖). “Then we introduced each bee to a ‘garden’ with artificial ‘flowers’. We filmed each bee and timed their decision-making process,” says Dr. MaBouDi. “If the bees were confident that a flower would have food, they quickly decided to land on it, taking an average of 0.6 seconds. If they were confident that a flower wouldn’t have food, they made a decision just as quickly. If unsure, they took on average 1.4 seconds, and the time reflected the probability that a flower had food.”The team then built a computer model mirroring the bees’ decision-making process. They found the structure of the model looked very similar to the physical layout of a bee brain. “AI researchers can learn much from bees and other ‘simple’ animals. Millions of years of evolution has led to incredibly efficient brains with very low power requirements,” says Professor Marshall who co-founded a company that uses insect brain patterns to enable machines to move autonomously, like nature.17．Why does Professor Andrew Barron mention “a supercomputer”?A．To illustrate how a honey bee’s brain resemble each other.B．To explain how animals arrive at informed decisions fast.C．To demonstrate how a robot could finish a honey bee’s job.D．To emphasize how honey bees make decisions remarkably.18．Which of the following can best replace “vulnerable to” underlined in paragraph 3?A．Easily harmed by.B．Highly sensitive to.C．Deeply critical to.D．Closely followed by.19．What influenced the speed of trained bees in making decisions?A．Their judgments about reward and punishment.B．Their preference for the colors of flower disks.C．Their confirmation of food’s presence and absence.D．Their ability to tell real flowers from artificial ones.20．What message does Professor James Marshall want to give us?A．The power of bee brains is underestimated.B．Biology can inspire future AI.C．Autonomous machines are changing nature.D．AI should be far more efficient.（23-24高三下·江苏扬州·开学考试）Are you frequently overwhelmed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind, particularly when you look through social media sites and see all the exciting things your friends are up to? If so, you are not alone.FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out, refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own, whether this concerns socializing, accomplishing professional goals or generally having a more deeply fulfilling life. It shows itself as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-respect. The feeling that we are always being left out of fundamentally important events, or that our lives are not living up to the image pictured by others, can have long-term damaging psychological consequences.While feelings of envy and inadequacy seem to be naturally human, social media seems to have added fuel to the fire in several ways. The reason why social media has such a triggering effect is tied to the appeal of social media in the first place: these are platforms which allow us to share only the most glowing presentations of our accomplishments, while leaving out the boring aspects of life. While this kind of misrepresentation could be characterized as dishonest, it is what the polished atmosphere of social media seems to demand.So how do we avoid falling into the trap of our own insecurities? Firstly, consider your own social media posts. Have you ever chosen photos or quotes which lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life? Well, so have others and what they’ve left hidden is the fact that loneliness and boredom are unavoidably a part of everyone’s day-to-day life, and you are not the only one feeling left out. Secondly, learn to appreciate the positives. You may not be a regular at exciting parties or a climber of dizzying peaks, but you have your health, a place to live, and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives. Last of all, learn to shake things off. We are all bombarded daily with images of other people’s perfection, but really, what does it matter? They are probably no more real than the most ridiculous reality TV shows.21．What can frequently experiencing FOMO lead to?A．Harm to one’s feeling of self-value.B．A more satisfying and fulfilling social life.C．Damage to one’s work productivity.D．Less likelihood of professional success.22．What does the author suggest in the third paragraph?A．The primary reason for FOMO is deeply rooted in social media.B．Our own social media posts help us feel much more confident.C．People who don’t share posts on social media are more bored.D．Social media’s nature enhances envious feelings and self-doubt.23．Why does the author mention reality TV shows in the last paragraph?A．To emphasize how false what we see on social media can be.B．To indicate how complicated social media has turned to.C．To figure out how popular and useful social media has been.D．To point out how educational value reality TV shows reflect.24．Which is the best title for the text?A．Myths and misconceptions about FOMO B．FOMO: what it is and how to overcome itC．How FOMO is changing human relationships D．We’re now all in the power of “FOMO addiction”（23-24高三上·江苏泰州·阶段练习）While Huawei’s official website does not call Mate 60 Pro a 5G smartphone, the phone’s wideband capabilities are on par with other 5G smartphones, raising a related question: As a leader in 5G technology, has Huawei managed to develop a 5G smartphone on its own?The answer is not simple. Huawei, as a pioneer in global 5G communication equipment, has played a leading role in the commercialization of 5G technology, with its strong system design and fields such as baseband chips (基带芯片), baseband processors and 5G modems.However, basebands and modems are not the only aspects that define 5G wireless communication. The stability and high-quality signals of a 5G smartphone also depend on other critical components such as RF transceivers (射频收发器) and RF front ends and antennas (天线) . These components are largely dominated by four US high-tech giants—Qualcomm, Avago Technologies, Ansem and Qorvo—which account for a surprising global market share.Huawei has faced significant challenges in getting critical components because of the sanctions imposed by the United States which are primarily responsible for the inability of the Chinese company to launch 5G smartphones in the past three years. However, Mate 60 Pro, despite not being labeled a 5G device, exhibits mobile network speeds comparable to Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices, offering a stable communication experience. This suggests Huawei has, over the past three years, overcome the 5G development and production limits due to the US sanctions by cooperating with domestic partners, and establishing an independent and controllable stable supply chain.Considering that Huawei has not explicitly marketed this device as a 5G smartphone, it is possible that it isyet to fully overcome some key core technological and componential shortcomings. For the time being, we can consider Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro as 4.99G. But when combined with the satellite communication capabilities of Mate 60 Pro, it is clear Huawei has been trying to find more advanced wireless communication solutions for smartphones and making significant progress in this attempt. This should be recognized as a remarkable endeavor, even a breakthrough.25．What do the underlined words “on par with” mean in Paragraph 1?A．as poor as.B．as good as.C．worse than.D．better than.26．Why was it tough for Huawei to develop a 5G smartphone three years ago?A．Its system design and fields needed to be updated.B．It only focused on the commercialization of 5G technology.C．It was unwilling to cooperate with high-tech giants in America.D．It lacked critical components mainly controlled by US high-tech giants.27．What does Paragraph 4 centre on?A．The US sanctions.B．Critical components.C．Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices.D．Progress in Mate 60 Pro.28．What is the text mainly about?A．Huawei faced with significant challengesB．Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro—a 5G smartphoneC．Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro—a remarkable breakthroughD．Huawei leading in global 5G communication equipment（23-24高三上·江苏无锡·期末）Blue-light-filtering glasses (滤蓝光眼镜) have become an increasingly popular solution for protecting our eyes from electronic screens’ near-inescapable glow — light that is commonly associated with eyestrain (眼疲劳). In recent years they’ve even become fashion statements that are recognized by celebrities and ranked in style guides. But a recent review paper shows such glasses might not be as effective as people think.The paper, published last week in Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, analyzed data from previous trials that studied how blue-light-filtering glasses affect vision tiredness and eye health. The study’s authors found that wearing blue-light-filtering glasses does not reduce the eyestrain people feel after using computers.“It’s an excellent review,” says Mark Rosenfield, a professor at the State University of New York College of Optometry, who was not involved in the study. “The conclusions are no surprise at all. There have been a number of studies that have found exactly the same thing, that there’s just no evidence that blue-blocking glasses have anyeffect on eyestrain.” He adds that the new review reinforces the fact that there is virtually no evidence that blue-blocking glasses affect eyestrain despite them being specifically marketed for that purpose. As for using blue-light-filtering eyeglasses for eye health, for now, Rosenfield says, “there’s nothing to support people buying them”.The strain we may feel while staring at our phone or computer screen too long is likely to be caused by multiple factors, such as bad habits or underlying conditions, an associate professor of vision science at the University of Melbourne, Downie says. She argues that how we interact with digital devices contributes more to eyestrain than screens’ blue light does. Changing the frequency and duration of screen usage and distancing one’s eyes from the screens might be more important in reducing discomfort, Downie says. She adds that people who experience eyestrain should see a doctor to assess whether they have an underlying health issue such as far-sightedness or dry eye disease.29．What can we know about blue-light-filtering glasses from the text?A．They can improve eyesight.B．They may not reduce eyestrain.C．They can promote eye health.D．They can help to cure eye diseases.30．What can we infer from paragraph 2?A．A great many professors were involved in the study.B．Blue-blocking glasses on the market are harmful to eyes.C．The finding of the study comes as a surprise to the public.D．Data from previous trials help the study a lot.31．What does the underlined word “reinforces” mean in paragraph 3?A．Denies.B．Opposes.C．Strengthens.D．Evaluates.32．What should we do if we suffer from eyestrain according to Downie?A．Wear blue-light-filtering glasses.B．Have an examination in the hospital.C．Stop staring at the screen for ever.D．Focus on the frequency of phone usage.（2024·江苏连云港·一模）Not all birds sing, but several thousand species do. They sing to defend their territory and croon (柔声唱) to impress potential mates. “Why birds sing is relatively well-answered,” says Iris Adam, a behavioral neuroscientist. However, the big question for her was why birds sing so much.“As soon as you sing, you reveal yourself,” Adam says. “Like, where you are and where your territory is.” In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Adam and her co-workers offer a new explanation for why birds take that risk. They may have to sing a lot every day to give their vocal (发声的) muscles the regular exercise they need to produce top-quality songs. To figure out whether the muscles that produce birdsongsrequire daily exercise, Adam designed an experiment on zebra finches-the little Australian songbirds.She prevented them from singing for a week by keeping them in the dark cage almost around the clock. Light is what galvanizes the birds to sing, so she had to work to keep them from warbling (鸣叫). “The first two or three days, it’s quite easy,” she says. “But the longer the experiment goes, the more they are like, ‘I need to sing.’” At that point, she’d tap the cage and tell them to stop singing.After a week, the birds’ singing muscles lost half their strength. But Adam wondered whether that impacted the quality of songs. When she played a male’s song before and after the seven days of darkness, she couldn’t hear a difference. But when Adam played it to a group of female birds, six out of nine preferred the song that came from a male who’d been using his singing muscles daily.Adam’s conclusion shows that “songbirds need to exercise their vocal muscles to produce top-performance songs. If they don’t sing, they lose performance, and their songs get less attractive to females.” This may help explain songbirds’ continuous singing.It’s a good rule to live by, whether you’re a bird or a human-practice makes perfect, at least when it comes to singing one’s heart out.33．According to Iris Adam, birds sing so much to ______.A．warn other birds of risks B．produce more songsC．perform perfectly in singing D．defend their territory34．What does the underlined word “galvanizes” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Prepares.B．Stimulates.C．Forbids.D．Frightens.35．What do we know about the caged birds in the experiment?A．They lost the ability to sing.B．They strengthened their muscles.C．Their songs showed no difference.D．Their songs became less appealing.36．What may Iris Adam agree with?A．The songbirds live on music.B．The songbirds are born singers.C．Daily exercise keeps birds healthy.D．Practice makes birds perfect singers.（23-24高三上·江苏扬州·期末）Sometimes called “Earth’s twin,” Venus is similar to our world in size and composition. The two rocky planets are also roughly the same distance from the sun, and both have an atmosphere.

I just wa s shaking my head thinking, ‘How is this possible? ’ ” Bauman also felt bad that Demery’s new seat wasn’t as close to the court as his original, but he said he didn’t regret anything else about how he handled the incident. He said he relocated Demery because the seats directly behind the Virginia bench usually belong to athletic department reporters. In this case one of them gave his tickets to a friend who then sold one to Demery, enabling him to purchase it for $100. Michael McCann, director of the Sports Law Institute said that the ticket itself was a legitimate one, but Demery could not sit in the seat unless he was a Virginia fan.Driving two hours and paying $100 for a ticket was well worth the trouble for Demery, because he figured he’d enjoy the r are chance to watch his beloved Tar Heels in person. At halftime, Demery sought out guest services, explained the situation and attempted to get his previous seat back only to have Bauman meet him again and turn him down. Demery even asked a policeman whether what Virginia was doing was legal, but the officer sided with Bauman. But later Demery said, “The best thing about the whole day was we won. ”16.

Demery was lucky to get a basketball ticket for $100.d. Demery drove 2 hours to watch the basketball game.e. Bauman relocated him to another seat farther away.f.
