    (2023屆廣東省深圳市大灣區(qū)高三一模英語試題)In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegan said.
    However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. “My life was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you’ll get a pretty exact result,” she said.
    Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. “Feeding people is such a universal love language,” she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn’t put ‘quit drinking’ ” on her resume.
    Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. “People have been walking, running and lining up to get cookies, and it’s just been so magical seeing that,” she said.
    When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don’t have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. “You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ve got a job,” Deegan told the reporter.
    4.What was Deegan mainly struggling with in 2013?
    A.Emotion management.
    B.Interpersonal relationship.
    C.Work-life balance.
    D.Alcohol addiction.
    5.What prepared Deegan for her bakery business?
    A.Working previously in the baking industry. B.Seeing people running to get cookies.
    C.Wanting desperately to gain total control. D.Offering baked food out of goodwill.
    6.According to paragraph 4 and 5, what is special about Deegan and her business?
    A.She achieved success through baking.
    B.She was ambitious about her business.
    C.She has an open-door employment policy.
    D.She only hired inexperienced workers.
    7.Which of the following best describes Deegan?
    A.Creative and smart.
    B.Persistent and receptive.
    C.Honest and optimistic.
    D.Kind and easy-going.

    (2023屆廣東省深圳市大灣區(qū)高三一模英語試題)Although we all experience failure in our lives, we don’t all react to it in the same way. An interesting research has emphasized the notion that there are some people who embrace challenges and disappointments as opportunities to re-focus their thinking. These are people with a growth mindset. Then, there are other people who see failure as a complete failure. They believe that they never had the talent anyway, and they probably never will. These are people with a fixed mindset.
    Psychologist Dweck has studied these mindsets and provided evidence that most people intentionally place themselves in one of those two groups. The group to which you assign yourself frequently determines how you react to challenges. If you experience failure and give up, you have conveniently assigned yourself to the fixed group. If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group.
    According to the research, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. To illustrate, consider Thomas Edison. In the 19th century, Edison attempted to improve the light bulb and experimented with numerous materials. Over a thousand trials, he managed to discover an element sustaining light. A reporter once asked him,“It seems as though you’ve tried many times and continue to fail each time. Why is that?”Edison answered,“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10, 000 ways that won’t work.”
    In studies of creative people, psychologists discovered that a distinguishing feature separating them from the non-creative is that they make lots of mistakes and continue to work through them. Most people consider success and failure as polar opposites. In reality, they are both parts of the same process.
    8.What might people with a growth mindset agree with?
    A.Challenges are welcomed.
    B.Mistakes can be avoided.
    C.Success is due to good luck.
    D.Only talent leads to success.
    9.What does the underlined phrase “a stepping stone” in paragraph 2 refer to?
    A.A road to nowhere.
    B.A challenge in the way.
    C.An outcome to expect.
    D.A chance to advance.
    10.Why does the author mention Thomas Edison in paragraph 3?
    A.To make a prediction.
    B.To present a fact.
    C.To support a viewpoint.
    D.To clarify a principle.
    11.What is the main idea of the text?
    A.How people interpret failure often determines their creative output.
    B.Learning from success plays an important part in improving creativity.
    C.Growth mindset people see challenges differently from fixed mindset ones.
    D.Which group people put themselves in decides how they react to challenges.

    (2023屆廣東省深圳市大灣區(qū)高三一模英語試題)Research into social robots has shown that machines that are at the cutting edge of interaction can respond to feelings and emotionally care for the weak, the elderly and children.
    Robin was designed as a companion robot to provide emotional support for children receiving medical treatment. Robin explains medical procedures to them, plays games and tells stories, and during treatment distracts them to reduce their sense of pain. The robot uses AI to understand other people’s feelings, remembering facial expressions and conversations to build dialogue for follow-up sessions. In trials at the Wigmore Medical (UK) Pediatric Clinic in Yerevan, Armenia, the team found that Robin led to a 34% decrease in stress and an increase in happiness of 26% in the 120 children who interacted with him at least once.
    Healthcare robots could all benefit from displaying emotional intelligence, both recognizing and responding to human emotions, and to some extent, managing them. The problem with this is the fear that human jobs may be lost as robots become better at handling social situations.
    Population trends suggest that the demand for robots to work alongside people in care situations will grow over time. By 2050, the number of people aged 65 and over globally will be 1.6 billion (17%), roughly twice the proportion of what it is today. An extra 3.5 million care workers will be needed and that will include emotionally intelligent robots.
    Today’s simple systems are being trained to meet that demand. This includes a little wheeled robot that can guess how you are feeling from the way you walk, and the robot from the University of Lincoln in the UK —who helps elderly people to stay physically and mentally active.
    The impact of social robots on our lives to date has been tiny. But new models are being introduced that could make the breakthrough. Human emotions are difficult to define, but as trust in robots increases, breaking down the psychological barrier becomes easier to imagine.
    12.What are social robots uniquely capable of?
    A.Lifting heavy packages upstairs for weak people.
    B.Teaching mentally ill teens emotional expressions.
    C.Cooking delicious dishes for the disabled at home.
    D.Playing songs for blind people on their request.
    13.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
    A.Robin’s function to reduce pain.
    B.Robin’s popularity in hospitals.
    C.Robin’s practical application.
    D.Robin’s success in passing tests.
    14.How is paragraph 4 developed?
    A.By concluding viewpoints.
    B.By analyzing causes.
    C.By making comparison.
    D.By giving definition.
    15.What does the author think of human job replacement by robots?
    A.It is already happening throughout UK.
    B.Humans need to work hard to secure jobs.
    C.Robots can only meet basic human needs.
    D.It’s an unstoppable and beneficial trend.

    (2023屆廣東省佛山市高三上學(xué)期普通高中教學(xué)質(zhì)量檢測(一)英語試題)Deveza’s mother was on the waiting list for a kidney transplant(腎移植). Deveza wanted to donate one of her own kidneys—but she was turned down because she might develop the same health problems as her mother in later life.
    Deveza came up with a different plan. In 2017, she started the world’s first paired exchange of different organs between living donors, exchanging half her liver(肝) for someone else’s kidney. A case study of the organ exchange has now been published, and the surgeons who were involved are calling for more exchanges like this. “You can imagine the enormous impact for mixed organ extended chains,” says John Roberts, a surgeon at University of California, San Francisco.
    Most organ transplants come from people who have died, but there are never enough organs. As most people can manage with just one of their kidneys, people with kidney failure are increasingly receiving donated organs from relatives or friends. If someone wants to donate but their immune(免疫的) system is unsuited, doctors may be able to find pairs of would-be donors who can each give a kidney to the other’s relative.
    When Deveza was looking into such chains, she came across research describing the idea of trading a kidney with the only other organ generally taken from a living donor—the liver. She suggested the idea to many hospitals before she finally contacted Roberts, who saw the idea’s potential.
    Deveza was assessed to be in good enough health to donate part of her liver. It then took 18 months to find Annie Simmons, in Idaho, whose liver was unsuitable to use as a transplant for her sister with severe liver disease. They drew up a plan: Simmons would donate a kidney to Deveza’s mother, and in return, Deveza would give half her liver to Simmons’ sister. The hospital gave the go-ahead and the four operations took place on the same day successfully.
    The team hope that the ground-breaking case will inspire more people to consider doing the same. Roberts says that direct exchanges involving two donors could enable up to thirty extra living-donor liver transplants a year—a ten percent increase.
    19.What did Deveza do to save her mother?
    A.Carrying out a case study.
    B.Calling for kidney donations.
    C.Launching a medical experiment.
    D.Trading half her liver for a kidney.
    20.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
    A.Patients’ desperation to survive.
    B.Several sources of organ donation.
    C.Current situation of organ transplants.
    D.Doctors’ efforts to improve organ transplants.
    21.What can be inferred about the organ exchange between Deveza and Simmons?
    A.It discouraged organ donation.
    B.It brought two families together.
    C.It met with widespread approval.
    D.It produced a desirable outcome.
    22.What is the best title for the text?
    A.My Liver, Your Kidney
    B.Mother’s Love, Our Happiness
    C.Organ Transplant: Blessing for Patients
    D.Organ Exchange: Major Medical Advances

    (2023屆廣東省佛山市高三上學(xué)期普通高中教學(xué)質(zhì)量檢測(一)英語試題)It’s no secret now that the more time we spend on social media, the more we feel dissatisfied with ourselves. We tend to compare ourselves to influences and celebrities- so it’s easy to understand how that can affect our confidence.
    But, how often have you found yourself comparing your life to your friends? Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at content shared by celebrities, new research has found.
    The study looking at how social media affects body image found that any social media engagement was significantly associated with lower “appearance satisfaction”. Additionally, it found that engaging with content posted by people the participants knew was more than twice as damaging as looking at content posted by strangers, including celebrities.
    Viren Swami, Professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University, believes this is partly because we know it’s hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influences, but when we’re comparing ourselves to our friends, it feels like we should- or could-live the way they do.
    “One possible explanation is that people may perceive a post showing appearance as being much more attainable if it comes from someone they know, adding expectation or pressure on the person engaging in the post, ” he said. “At the same time, people may be more critically engaged with posts by the likes of models and celebrities, and therefore perceive the images they share to be more unrealistic."
    This is not just confined to body image though. We all have one area in our lives that triggers(觸 發(fā))us. Maybe you’ve been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media, envying your school friend who just landed their dream role. Maybe. . .
    All this is to say the obvious: we only see part of people’s lives -and if it’s getting you down, you’re probably comparing your insides to other people’s outsides. Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone. So, put down your phone, get offline, be thankful and try to live your own life.
    23.What did the new study find?
    A.Social media invites unfavorable comments.
    B.Friends’ posts affect us more than celebrities’.
    C.Celebrities have a negative influence on our life.
    D.Body image causes more concern than social life.
    24.Why are we more likely to compare with our friends according to Swami?
    A.They serve as role models.
    B.We know the way they live. ,
    C.Their lifestyles are accessible.
    D.We are curious about their life.
    25.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
    A.Restricted.
    B.Related.
    C.Devoted.
    D.Exposed.
    26.What does the author suggest people do?
    A.Find your dream and fight for it.
    B.Stop comparing and be yourself.
    C.Be grateful and lead a perfect life.
    D.Stop complaining and get down to work.

    (2023屆廣東省佛山市高三上學(xué)期普通高中教學(xué)質(zhì)量檢測(一)英語試題)Given that the dictionary definition of curiosity is “the desire to know something”, it may be of little surprise that much research has concerned its benefits for education.
    Consider a study at the University of California at Davis in 2014. The researchers first asked each participant to rate their curiosity about learning the answers to a series of questions, such as “What does the term ‘dinosaur’ actually mean?” The participants then lay in an fMRI brain scanner (掃描儀) while the same questions were presented, followed shortly after by the answers. The participants were then tested on their recollection of the facts an hour later.
    The effects of curiosity on later recall were striking. When the participants were highly curious about a fact, they were 30% more likely to recall it. And this seemed to correspond to heightened activity in areas of the midbrain that release dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is normally associated with reward, but animal studies suggest that it can also enhance the formation of new neural(神經(jīng)的) connections. It looked as if the feeling of curiosity was helping prepare the brain to absorb the new and important information, and this then resulted in a more stable memory.
    Interestingly, the researchers found that the dopamine hit, arising from initial curiosity, could even enhance the memory of incidental information that had no direct relevance to the primary question. To demonstrate this, they had presented random faces alongside the answers to the questions and, an hour later, checked whether the participants still recognized the faces. The analyses showed that the participants were far more likely to remember the face if it had accompanied a question that had awakened their curiosity.
    This additional, and unexpected, memory boost could be extremely useful whenever we’re trying to learn something new and complicated. We’re unlikely, after all, to find every single element of our studies interesting. But if we can develop some curiosity about at least some of the facts, we may find that the rest of the material also sticks far more easily.
    27.Which aspect of curiosity did the study focus on?
    A.Its scientific definition.
    B.Its unique characteristics.
    C.Its influences on memory.
    D.Its benefits for brain health.
    28.What was the purpose of presenting questions to the participants first?
    A.To assess their learning ability.
    B.To awaken their passion for learning.
    C.To measure their curiosity about the questions.
    D.To refresh their memory of extinct wild animals.
    29.What can be learned about dopamine according to Paragraph 3?
    A.It blocks memory.
    B.It facilitates learning.
    C.It promotes friendship.
    D.It cures neural disorder.
    30.Which message about learning does the unexpected finding deliver?
    A.Generate interest in study.
    B.Focus on essential information.
    C.Make learning materials related.
    D.Attach importance to memorization.

    (2023屆廣東省茂名市高三第一次綜合測試英語試題)Here are some of the prettiest small towns across Europe, from humble fishing towns to hilltop medieval power bases.
    Giethoorn, Netherlands
    They call it the Dutch answer to Venice, but Giethoorn lacks one crucial thing that the Italian city has in spades: over tourism. As in Venice, life revolves around the water, here-there are no cars in the center so the only way to get around is on foot or on the water.
    Roscoff, France
    Port towns can be rather dirty. Not lovely little Roscoff, though, in France’s Brittany region, which built its fortune on maritime trade. Today, it’s a center of thalassotherapy, using seawater to treat medical conditions, as well as a beautiful Breton town. Tiny fishing boats rest in the small harbor-with a larger one, where ferries leave for Plymouth in the UK, further out.
    Dinkelsbühl, Germany
    A cute historic center, wooden houses and large towers —Dinkelsbühl has it all. Wrapped by medieval walls with a vast Gothic church, St George’s Minster, it was the setting for Werner Herzog’s film “The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser.”
    Clovelly, UK
    Donkeys used to be the only way to get up and down the steep streets of Clovelly, a pretty fishing village in Devon, southwest England.
    Today, they still haven’t managed to bring cars in — it sits at the bottom of a 400-foot cliff (懸崖). Instead, goods are transported by man-powered sledges (雪橇) and if tourists can’t face the walk back up to the car park, they can grab a ride in a Land Rover instead.
    31.Where should visitors go if they want to receive a health treatment?
    A.Giethoorn. B.Roscoff. C.Dinkelsbühl. D.Clovelly.
    32.What can visitors do at Clovelly?
    A.Take a boat tour. B.Drive a car.
    C.Get around on foot. D.Take a man-powered sledge.
    33.What is the purpose of the text?
    A.To amuse readers. B.To tell the history.

    (2023屆廣東省茂名市高三第一次綜合測試英語試題)Imagine the most English-English person you can think of. Now I’m fairly certain that no matter what picture you just thought up, that person comes complete with a stiff upper lip and a cup of tea in their hand, because that’s what the English do. They carry on and they drink tea. Tea is so utterly English, such a rooted part of the culture, that it’s also rooted in how everyone else around the world perceives that culture.
    And while it’s fairly common knowledge that Westerners have China to thank for the original cultivation of tea drinking, it’s far less known that it was the Portuguese who inspired its popularity in England in particular, one Portuguese woman.
    Travel back in time to 1662, when Catherine of Braganza (daughter of Portugal’s King John IV) won the hand of England’s newly restored monarch, King Charles II, with the help of a very large dowry (嫁妝) that included money, spices, treasures and the highly profitable ports of Tangiers and Bombay. This made her one very important lady: the Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland.
    When she relocated up north to join King Charles, she is said to have packed loose-leaf tea as part of her personal belongings; it would also have likely been part of her dowry. A fun legend has it that the boxes were marked Iransporte de Ervas Aromaticas (Transport of Aromatic Herbs) later shortened to T. E. A.
    That last bit probably isn’t true (experts believe the word “tea” came from a Chinese character), but what is for sure is that tea was already popular among the upper class of Portugal due to the country’s direct trade line to China via Macau.
    34.What do people think of tea drinking in Britain?
    A.Typical. B.Fashionable. C.Incredible. D.Unusual.
    35.Who promoted the fashion of tea drinking in England?
    A.Common Westerners.
    B.The Chinese people.
    C.Portugal’s King John IV.
    D.The Queen of King Charles II.
    36.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
    A.Tea was part of the dowry of Catherine of Braganza.
    B.The word ‘tea’ came from Portuguese marks on the boxes.
    C.Tea became popular in Portugal earlier than it did in England.
    D.The direct trade line between China and England developed because of tea.
    37.Which is the most suitable title for the text?
    A.The story behind British tea drinking.
    B.The legend of tea drinking in Portugal.
    C.The origin of Westerners’ tea drinking.
    D.The history of tea trade between China and Britain.

    (2023屆廣東省茂名市高三第一次綜合測試英語試題)Will skipping breakfast make me fat?
    The good news for those who don’t have breakfast is that putting on weight isn’t inevitable —as long as you control those high-calorie desires and stay active.
    Research shows that although avoiding breakfast will make you hungrier and you might make up for that with a bigger lunch, this won’t necessarily make you “fatter” — on average, those who skip breakfast don’t eat more across the whole day than if they didn’t skip it. Some researchers have found that you may even eat fewer calories overall, and end up using your body’s fat reserves for energy, which can actually help you lose weight.
    However, weight isn’t the only consideration: studies show that breakfast-skippers are likely to exercise less. This may be because they have lower energy levels-after eight hours or so without food, the body will have used up most of its stores of easy-to-access energy during sleep. Morning fasters are also more likely to have unhealthy, but appetite-suppressing habits, such as smoking or drinking a lot of coffee.
    If you want to ensure that you eat a regular, nutritious breakfast, try preparing it the night before don’t leave it until the morning, when your brain struggles to make good decisions.
    If you do skip breakfast. . .
    ■Don’t make up for it with a huge lunch, otherwise you’ll suffer overeating.
    ■Make sure you eat something before you exercise, or you risk “hitting the wall”.
    ■Don’t make up for lack of energy with coffee-it can make you lose your appetite and make you anxious and nervous.
    38.What does the underlined word “inevitable” mean in Paragraph 2?
    A.Unbelievable. B.Unavoidable. C.Uncomfortable. D.Unbearable.
    39.Why do some breakfast-skippers lose weight?
    A.They do more exercise. B.They stay active all day.
    C.They reserve their body fat. D.They take in fewer calories.
    40.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
    A.Aims of the studies. B.Ways of losing weight.

    (2023屆廣東省茂名市高三第一次綜合測試英語試題)The wires, screens and batteries that make up our devices-not to mention the plastic, metal and other materials that package them-are filling up landfills. Some e-waste is relatively large: old phones and air conditioners, for instance. Other e-waste is more hidden, such as electronic single-use medical diagnostic kits, environmental sensors, and smart labels that contain one-off batteries and other equipment.
    “It’s these small batteries that are big problems, ” says public health scientist Dele Ogunseitan, who was not involved in developing the battery. ”Nobody really pays attention to where they end up.
    Researchers at the Cellulose & Wood Materials Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) are working to address this problem. Their new paper in Scientific Reports describes a paper battery developed from environmentally friendly materials that could eventually present a sustainable alternative to the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.
    The paper battery has the same key components as standard batteries but packages them differently. Like a typical chemical battery, it has-a positively charged side called a cathode (正極), a negatively charged side called an anode (負(fù)極), and a conductive material called an electrolyte (電解質(zhì))between the two. A traditional battery’s components are packaged in plastic and metal; in the new battery, the anode and cathode are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper. That paper is filled with salt, which dissolves (溶解)when the paper is dampened with water. The resulting saltwater solution acts as the electrolyte.
    When the paper is dry, the battery is shelf-stable. Add just a couple of drops of water, however, and the salt dissolves, allowing electrons to flow. Once the paper is dampened, the battery becomes active within 20 seconds. The new battery’s operating performance declines as the paper dries. When the scientists rewet the paper during testing, the battery regained functionality and lasted an hour before beginning to dry out again.
    42.What can we infer about small disposal batteries according to Dele Ogunseitan?
    A.They are no big problems.
    B.They need to be addressed.
    C.They should be made larger.
    D.They are environmentally friendly.
    43.What’s special about the new battery?
    A.It has a cathode and an anode.

    (2023屆廣東省深圳市高三年級第一次調(diào)研考試英語試題)From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.
    Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic (懷舊的) account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family. ”
    Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book — curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother.
    Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained. ”
    My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry.
    As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.
    49.Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu?
    A.Risky. B.Busy. C.Tough. D.Diverse.

    (2023屆廣東省深圳市高三年級第一次調(diào)研考試英語試題)When put to tests, bees have long proved that they’ve got a lot more to offer than pollinating (授粉) , making honey and being loyal to a queen. The hard-working insects can change their behavior when things seem difficult, and now some scientists find there is proof that they also like to play.
    Scientists from Queen Mary University of London performed an experiment, in which they set up a container that allowed bees to travel from their nest to a feeding area. But along the way, the bees could choose to pass through a separate section with some small wooden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees “went out of their way to roll wooden balls repeatedly, despite no apparent incentive (刺激)to do so. ”
    Earlier studies have shown that the black and yellow bugs are willing to learn new tricks in exchange for food or other rewards. In this case, to get rid of external factors, scientists made sure the bees had adapted to their new home and that their environment was stress-free.
    The finding suggests that like humans, insects also interact with objects as a form of play. Also similar to people, younger bees seem to be more playful than adult bees. “This research provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more complicated than we imagine. There are lots of animals who play just for the purpose of enjoyment, but most examples come from young mammals (哺乳動物) and birds,” said Lars Chittka, a professor of sensory and behavioral ecology at Queen Mary University of London, who led the study.
    The study’s first author, Samadi Galpay, who is a PhD student at Queen Mary University of London, states that it is more evident that bees may be capable of experiencing feelings. “They may actually experience some kind of positive emotional states, even if basic, like other larger animals do. This finding has effects on our understanding of the sense and welfare of insects, which, consequently, encourages us to respect and protect wildlife on Earth ever more,” she says.
    53.What is the new finding about bees?
    A.They are fond of having fun.
    B.They are faithful to the queen.
    C.They are adaptable to changes.
    D.They are skilled at rolling balls.
    54.How did scientists remove external influences in the experiment?
    A.By teaching bees new tricks.
    B.By rewarding bees with food.
    C.By making bees feel at home.
    D.By building new homes for bees.
    55.What are Lars Chittka’s words mainly about?
    A.The forms of bees’ interaction.
    B.The complexity of bees’ minds.
    C.The examples of mammals’ play.
    D.The purpose of mammals’ enjoyment.
    56.What does Samadi Galpay say about the study result?
    A.It backs up prior understanding of insects.
    B.It reveals reasons for bees’ positive feelings.
    C.It drives research on animals’ emotional state.
    D.It contributes to wildlife conservation on Earth.

    (2023屆廣東省深圳市高三年級第一次調(diào)研考試英語試題)“You’re so smart!” This encouraging response to children’s math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.
    Parents who make comments linking their children’s performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.
    For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children’s math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement.
    The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children’s strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics — in particular, related to failure — are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.
    Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to enhance motivation.
    57.Which of the following is an example of process response?
    A.You are a lucky dog.
    B.Running is in your blood.
    C.What works well for your study?
    D.Why are you such a math genius?
    58.What can be inferred from the study results?
    A.Parents prefer to give more process responses.
    B.Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety.
    C.Process responses help with children’s math achievement.
    D.Person responses can discourage children from learning math.
    59.What do researchers advise parents to do?
    A.Restrict person responses.
    B.Defend their own beliefs.
    C.Stress children’s performance.
    D.Ignore children’s math problems.

    (2023屆廣東省梅州市高三一模英語試題)When my son first began competing in school chess tournaments, I often chatted with other parents. Occasionally, I would ask if they played chess themselves. Normally, the reply was no. When I volunteered that I was learning to play, their tone was cheerfully joking, “Good luck with that!”If this game is so good, why are adults ignoring it? Seeing someone playing smart phone games, I preferred to say, “Why are you having your kids do chess while you play?”
    Sure, we parents had work to do, work that helped pay for the lessons our kids were enjoying. But I was also wondering if we were sending an unnoticeable message that learning was for the young. During one tournament, I saw a group of parents playing chess! Just then, a group of kids passed me “Why are adults learning chess?” One asked, in an apparently joking tone.
    I was tired of sitting on the sidelines. I wanted in, and that is why I got a membership card and started throwing myself in.“Early on,I was nervous, even the master can sometimes play badly, ” as one Grandmaster put it “a fan never” . And a fan I was. It was three hours of concentration and thinking with my phone off. It felt like a gym where I was trained to solve problems with focus, memory, logic, and occasional headaches. And of course hours of absence of digital devices would never be no good for thinking sharply.
    Being a beginner can be hard at any age, but it gets harder when you are older. The phrase “adult beginner”has an fairly gentle pity. It implies the learning of something that you should have perhaps already leaned.

    (2023屆廣東省梅州市高三一模英語試題)While most of us are never without our smartphones robots may also soon become essential companions. It certainly seems so based on the recent experiments conducted by researchers in Japan, who developed a wearable soft robot for patients to use during treatments, such as injections(注射) and other unpleasant therapies in an attempt to ease their pain and defend people against anxiety.On being subjected to a moderate heat stimulus(刺激), the study participants who wore the robot experienced less pain than in the tests in which they did not wear the robot.
    During the campaign to encourage vaccination against COVID-19, public health officials recognized that some people are simply afraid of needles,which contributed to reduced vaccination rates. While the problems of patient anxiety and pain during medical procedures have been well studied there remains a need to test and implement solutions to help patients.
    The soft fur-covered robot the scientists called Reliebo was designed to be attached to the participant’s hand. The researchers tested its effectiveness under various conditions based on the clenching of the participant’s hand, while applying the painful thermal stimulus to the other arm that was not being used to hold the robot.The researchers found that holding the robot helped relieve the experience for patients regardless of the experimental conditions used, and concluded that the feelings of well -being that can be created by human touch may have also been activated by the robot. “It is well known that interpersonal touch can reduce pain and fear, and we believe that this effect can be achieved even with nonliving soft robots,”states Professor Tanaka.
    This may be useful when actual human contact is not feasible, such as during pandemics. Future versions of the robot might use a controlled gaze or even AR (augmented reality) technologies to help build a connection with the patient or distract them from pain perception in various situations.

    (2023屆廣東省汕頭市普通高考第一次模擬考試英語試題)In recent times, the sales of self-help books have soared in popularity. Here are our picks of the best, and most highly rated self-help books to help tackle that new year anxiety.
    Atomic Habits by James Clear
    Nowadays people spend so much time planning, journaling, and writing in our diaries, rather than taking action towards actually achieving our goals. This book is a step-by-step guide to fixing up your routine. It digs into the psychology behind habits — how to form good ones and break the bad ones. If you’re a victim of procrastination (拖延癥), this may be the push you need.
    How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
    This book is all about improving the relationships you have with others in your life, making you a better listener, and overall a better friend. With simple tips such as including the person’s name in conversation and making sure you’re genuinely interested in what they’re saying, you can ensure they will remember you. The core idea is that you can change other people’s behaviour by changing your own, therefore building stronger relationships.
    Untamed-Stop Pleasing, Start Living by Glennon Doyle
    Part autobiographical and part self-help, it’s the perfect book to kickstart your year and start living for yourself. Although this book could be enjoyed by anyone, the prime audience is women, as Doyle talks a lot about doubts during motherhood, and the overwhelming need women feel to put everyone before themselves. Doyle shows us our lives in a new light that without even realising it, we may be working hard to please everyone around us, forgetting the most important person — ourselves.

    “Escape the 9-5, live anywhere and join the new rich”. This best seller proposes the idea that you don’t need to wait for retirement and delay your life plan. Instead, you can trade a long career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements”. Ferris says that people don’t want to be millionaires. They want to experience what they think only millionaires can buy.

    B.How to learn psychology.
    C.How to arrange your routine.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. ” This is dedicated to my first-year self four years ago, who was addicted to getting good grades, and failed to seek the happiness found in everything else that college has to offer.
    Like some people, I grew up with a family that valued academics over all else, who gave you a little extra love when you were doing great in your classes, and took it away when you didn’t. As a result, my self-worth became tied to my academic success. As an international student, I sometimes felt our parents didn’t quite understand the heavy academic weight.
    There is a difference between trying to always better yourself for yourself, and simply putting too much on your plate until you burn out from attempting to live up to certain expectations. We should all strive to do the former, but unfortunately our mindsets have been always wired to follow the latter.
    I used to believe school killed the creative spirit inside all of us, but as I get older and further into my academic career, I find that it is we who make the choice to kill that creative spirit. I am definitely not saying that you should throw your GPA out of the window and go painting all day. However, we should all try to develop a long-sighted perspective on how we want to shape our lives. Take some classes on topics that you’re genuinely interested in learning about, not just passing. Join clubs or work on projects that resonate with you and push you beyond your boundaries. And most of all, accept the fact that failure and loss are sometimes inevitable in life.
    I promise you, when you look back at these four years, you will not remember the good grades or the bad grades, but you will hold in your memory the connections you made with people, the things that inspired you to create and the times you learned something special. And so I ask you now, what do you want to get out of college?
    79.Who is the author of the passage?
    A.A professor. B.A freshman. C.A parent. D.A graduate.
    80.What did the author’s parents stress most on his college life?
    A.Seeking happiness. B.Getting good grades.
    C.Building self-worth. D.Developing various interests.
    81.What is bettering ourselves for according to the author?
    A.To be a better self. B.To realize our dreams.
    C.To push our boundaries. D.To live up to others’ expectations.
    82.Which of the following may the author probably agree with?
    A.Academic growth helps to promote creativity.
    B.Students themselves have a say in their hobbies.
    C.Failures can be avoided with more efforts put in.

    (2023屆廣東省汕頭市普通高考第一次模擬考試英語試題)Not every architectural landmark is grand in scale, with splendid decorations, or amazing colors. Suzhou Gardens may just be the opposite.
    When a group of monks during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) first constructed Lion Grove Garden, they may have just wanted to enjoy a quiet place, hidden away from urban noise, while in the following centuries, this charming garden - most notable for its waterside rockeries resembling the shape of lions—has attracted a constant stream of celebrity guests, who have left a long list of poems, paintings and historical anecdotes (軼事).
    In recent years, nine of the best-known classical gardens of Suzhou, including Lion Grove Garden, Humble Administrator’s Garden and Great Wave Pavilion, were registered into the World Heritage List. As UNESCO remarks, “Classical Chinese garden design, which seeks to recreate natural landscapes in miniature (縮略圖), is nowhere better illustrated than in the nine gardens, which reflect the profound natural beauty in Chinese culture and inspire people to pursue harmony with the world.”
    Nowadays, relevant administrations have been trying to restore the historical landscapes of Suzhou’s classical gardens. Consequently, last year, a new project was launched allowing tourists in small groups to reserve places to enter the garden in the early morning before the regular opening time.

    (2023屆廣東省汕頭市普通高考第一次模擬考試英語試題)An 18, 000-year-old human genome has been sequenced as a consequence of genetic research of ancient African skeletons, revealing information as to how the continent’s former people lived, migrated, and reproduced.
    In general, DNA cannot survive in Africa’s heat and damp for lengthy periods of time, and researchers have never previously sequenced a sub-Saharan African human genome older than 9,000 years. The authors of this new study, on the other hand, regained genetic material from six people buried between 5, 000 and 18, 000 years ago.
    They also looked at the records of 28 previously reported individuals found at burial sites around the continent, and these 34 people were from three unique source populations originating in northeastern, central, and southern Africa after studying their DNA.This means that the continent was originally inhabited by three distinct groups who must have lived in remote areas for long periods of time. The combination of these three branches, on the other hand, suggests that genetic information was exchanged between the three populations before 20, 000 years ago.
    According to the authors of the study, this process began around 50, 000 years ago, because archaeological records suggest an increase in the movement of products over great distances around this time. People are thought to have started having offspring with partners from far-away places as trading networks grew across the continent.
    However, the genomic data shows that this long-range DNA interchange began to decline some 20, 000 years ago, implying that humans began reproducing with their immediate neighbors at that time. According to the study’s authors, it may be due to the Last Glacial Maximum, when climate change may have limited people’s mobility and pushed them to become more sedentary.
    In a statement, study author Jessica Thompson noted, “At first, people found their mates from a wide geographic pool. Further down the line, people valued partners who lived closer to them and were perhaps more culturally similar.” Co-author Elizabeth Sawchuk added, “Perhaps it was because previously established social networks allowed for the movement of information and technologies without requiring people to migrate.”
    87.What is the challenge of the DNA study in Africa?
    A.Hot and wet climate. B.Limited technology.
    C.Too many cultural exchanges. D.Complex human genomes.
    88.What caused the genetic information exchange around 50, 000 years ago?
    A.Climate change. B.Archaeological records.
    C.Trades with distant groups. D.Development in technology.
    89.What is the meaning of the underlined word “sedentary” in Paragraph 5?
    A.Stable. B.Diverse. C.Active. D.Reproductive.
    90.What can we learn from the ancient social network according to the passage?
    A.Distant social exchange was booming 50, 000 years ago.
    B.Long-ranged DNA interchange started to occur 20, 000 years ago.
    C.Communication with people from similar cultures was always favored.
    D.Migration declined when social networks for information became mature.

    (2023屆廣東省廣州市普通高中畢業(yè)班綜合測試(一)英語試題)Della Steward got the standard well-wishes on her blog on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One was about the Smith family who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was in deep sorrow. Could Della help?
    That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Della was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd, the long-time social service professional had put out a call on her blog.She wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Smith family,she sent a wind chime(風(fēng)鈴)with the message“Listen to the wind and know that I am near”written on it. It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his older brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants.
    This is not the first time that Della has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, in 2016, she founded Love in Action, an organization committed to doing something good near her home and beyond. Its aim is simple: Do Your Best, Show Your Love!
    Over the years, the organization has reached out and touched well over 100 strangers, some found via Dclla’s blog, others with help from her grandkids. The organization also shares inexpensive and creative gift ideas for others to help people in need.
    Della pays for everything herself: gift cards, pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, and care packages, as well as the gas it takes to play fairy. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious warning against spending it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores.“I got a couple of gift cards for my birthday this year and was like ‘YESSS!”It’s Della’s party, and she’ll give if she wants to.

    (2023屆廣東省廣州市普通高中畢業(yè)班綜合測試(一)英語試題)Beavers(海貍), like humans, change their surroundings to fit their needs. Known as nature’s engineers, they tear trees down to build homes to live in and dams to raise water levels for protection from enemies. Dams also slow water’s flow while blocking sediment(沉積物)that would otherwise flow downstream. The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity where none had existed. There are challenges, though. Beaver dams sometimes cause flooding, and most people prefer trees alive and upright.
    Communities face a delicate balancing act, learning to coexist with beavers. Last winter, many people enjoying Winston Path became beaver fans as one furry family transformed Swallow Pond into an oasis for birds, frogs, turtles and deer.
    Yet such activity caused concern. As beavers worked, they raised water levels about five feet. The increased depth allows beavers to survive underwater if the pond ices over. But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank supporting Winston Path.
    To find a good balance between protecting the path and the beavers, the county introduced a“ beaver baffle”— a pond leveler.Beavers often rush to fill holes in their dams.Baffles stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam, unnoticed by the beavers.
    People love the beavers but they also love the mature trees. Recently, Catherine Jones,18, organized a tree-caging event — putting wire cloth around large tree trunks to discourage beavers from biting them. It also protects people from injury due to random trees falling.“We cover the trees we don’t want them to eat, while planting periodically others they like,“said Jones.“We need-to learn to give up a little of our wants to share the Earth’s resources.”
    Swallow Pond’s 2023 project will restore proper water depth and improve wildlife habitat without creating problems for the path. The balancing act continues.
    98.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
    A.Where beavers’ favorite surroundings are.
    B.What effects beavers have on their habitat.
    C.Why beavers are called nature’s engineers.
    D.How beavers help attract wildlife diversity.

    (2023屆廣東省廣州市普通高中畢業(yè)班綜合測試(一)英語試題)Some bacteria(細(xì)菌)have a superpower that scientists would love to use. These bacteria gain energy from light, just as plants do.Scientists have wanted to use cyanobacteria(藍(lán)藻菌)to make electricity. But in previous research, they didn’t survive long on artificial surfaces. Researchers have now moved them to a living surface — a mushroom. Their creation is the first mushroom to make electricity.
    Applied Physicist Simon Jackson and his team turned that mushroom into a mini energy farm. This bionic(生物電子的)mushroom combines 3D printing, conductive ink and bacteria to generate electricity. Its design could lead to new ways of combining nature with electronics.
    Like plants, cyanobacteria make their own food from sunlight, releasing electrons(電子). When enough electrons build up in one place, they can create an electric current.
    The researchers needed to bring a lot of these bacteria together. They decided to use 3D printing to place them precisely onto a surface.Jackson’s team chose mushrooms for that surface. After all, they realized, mushrooms naturally host communities of bacteria and other microbes. Finding test subjects for their tests was easy. Jackson simply went to the grocery store and picked up white button mushrooms.
    Printing on those mushrooms, though, turned out to be a real challenge. 3D printers have been designed to print on flat surfaces, but mushroom caps are curved. The researchers spent months writing computer code to solve the problem. Eventually, they came up with a program to 3D print their ink onto the curved mushroom tops.
    The researchers printed two“inks”onto their mushrooms. One was a green ink made of cyanobacteria. They used this to make a spiral pattern on the cap. They also used a black ink made of graphene, which is great at conducting electricity. They printed this ink in a branching pattern across the mushroom top.
    Then it was time to shine.
    “Cyanobacteria are the real heroes here,”says Jackson. When his team shone light on the mushrooms, the bacteria gave out electrons. Those electrons flowed into the graphene and created an electric current.
    102.What was the problem in previous research?
    A.Cyanobacteria didn’t produce electrons.
    B.Cyanobacteria couldn’t get enough light.
    C.The researchers chose the wrong bacteria.
    D.No suitable home was made for cyanobacteria.
    103.Why were mushrooms finally chosen as test subjects?
    A.They are convenient to find.
    B.They can produce electric currents.
    C.They are where bacteria can naturally grow.
    D.They can be easily combined with 3D printing.
    104.What is the major function of the black ink in this test?
    A.To feed bacteria.
    B.To deliver electrons.
    C.To produce electricity.
    D.To reshape mushroom tops.

So when the COVID-19 broke out three years ago and the community fell on hard times, Chris Bossio knew just what to do. Chris opened a barbershop called Headlines, where people could come together for a hair cut, having some conversations meanwhile.
    Later, Chris volunteered his free time to teach other barbers new techniques.
    Impressed by his down-to-earth, easy-to-understand lessons, one of his business partners convinced him to upload them on Tiktok (抖音).
    That was when things really took off. The videos earned him a large number of subscribers and as Chris kept creating more, he saw his subscribers turn into clients. The freshmen in the line flooded in to exchange professional opinions and sharpen the skills, while residents from the community came for a moment of peace, hence building a deeper bond.
    Business was booming but Chris didn’t stop here.
    When he started Headlines, his initial goal was just to open five barbershops within five years. But as time went by, he was determined to share his success, focusing most of his time on empowering barbers. He held workshops where he trained barbers on not only the business of barbering, but also how to establish their brands. Once, his workshop attracted over 300 attendees. Many of his students have become successful barbers themselves, including about 40 who have opened their own shops in the area. “These shops serve as places where community cultures really come together and come to life, ” he said. It was a dream come true for Chris.
    He also saw opportunities popping up as his channel grew. He started making a shaving gel (凝膠). It was another huge hit. He immediately launched a production line, creating a certain number of jobs in the community. Though the economy was in decline, he could sell10, 000 products per month in 15 countries. It’s also been a lifeline during the COVID-19 epidemic (疾病流行) , when hundreds of barbershops were forced to shut down. Without it, Chris’ business, as well as his employees, couldn’t have survived.

    (2023屆廣東省江門市高三下學(xué)期高考擬考試(一模)英語試題)New words emerge in English all the time. In fact, in recent years more new words and phrases are entering the language than ever before, partly due to the increased willingness of lexicographers (詞典編纂者) to include them in the dictionaries.
    John Algeo who studies the history of language says, “As our culture changes, the language changes. American culture is going through a time of rapid change.”
    Technology is moving fast, which has a big effect on language. The computer world produces hundreds of new words. New terms also come from business, medicine, and other fields.
    Many new English words come from other languages. David Jost helps create the American Heritage Dictionary. “We constantly borrow words from other cultures,” he says. “This will go on forever in cultures.”
    “People in many parts of the world speak English now. That is another reason why so many new words are entering the language,” says Algeo.
    The American Dialect Society has a contest each year. The society selects a “new word of the year”, which gains high level of popularity on media for some days. Last year the winner was “information superhighway”, referring to a whole set of electronic network of information and people getting access to this network by computer.
    New words often come in several forms, such as the back-formation (like enthuse from enthusiasm), the clipping (like zoo from zoological garden), and the compounding, etc. Over time, one form tends to win out. Take the compounding for instance. “Domestic partners” has been growing popular lately, even though many terms have been used to describe couples who live together but are not married.
    “A new word rarely can be traced to one source,” says Algeo. “Several people fend to create a new word when a need for one exists.”
    “Most new words have a limited life ‘span’,” say language experts. Only a few will survive through the next 100 years.

    (2023屆廣東省江門市高三下學(xué)期高考擬考試(一模)英語試題)A city in Denmark is about to become the first in the world to provide most of its citizens with fresh water using only the energy created from household wastewater.
    The Marselisborg Wastewater Treatment Plant (MWTP) in Aarhus has undergone improvements that mean it can now produce more than 150 percent of the electricity needed to run the plant. The extra power can be used to pump drinking water around the city. As well as regularly powering the entire water system of 200, 000 people living in the inner city area, any unwanted electricity could be sold into the local power network.
    The plant produces energy from the biogas which creates out of household wastewater. Carbon is removed from the wastewater and pumped into digesters (沼氣池) kept at 38℃ filled with bacteria. These produce biogas — mostly methane — that is then burned to make heat and electricity.
    Upgrading the facilities in Marselisborg required nearly €3 million, but Aarhus Water expects that to be recovered in just five years. Other cities in Denmark, including Copenhagen, have been trying to copy the example of Aarhus.
    When talking about copying Denmark’s experience, Molly Walton, energy analyst at International Energy Agency, says, scientists and engineers would firstly have to improve energy efficiency; and it requires an enormous amount of money that could considerably increase the price of the water. Moreover, to work, the wastewater plant needs to be big enough to produce enough biogas, and even the wastewater has to be the right-mix. If it’s watered down by much storm or groundwater, it will be almost impossible to recover energy, Walton says.
    With rising global temperatures, more energy will be needed to provide fresh water from other sources such as seawater. The city’s action may not solve the problems, but it is a big step in the right direction.
    117.What can we learn about the city Aarhus?
    A.Aarhus can sell green energy to Denmark.
    B.The plant in Aarhus can produce extra power.
    C.The plant in Aarhus makes good use of carbon.
    D.Aarhus is the first city to benefit from household wastewater.
    118.Why is it difficult to practise the way of MWTP?
    A.The global temperature is rising.
    B.Energy efficiency needs improving.
    C.The plant is too big to produce biogas.
    D.MWTP requires demanding conditions.

    A.Doubtful.
    B.Negative.
    C.Uninterested.
    D.Positive.

    Right out of the gate, I took him to ski touring, which is a lot like cross-country skiing but in wilder terrain. At first, Kicker would just stay nestled (依偎) in my jacket, but as he got stronger, he would run on his own for a little while before I carried him again.
    We also went on some winter camping adventures in the high peaks of the Uinta Mountains, and we tried snow kiting. He ran around while I skied. He learned to speed-fly and kiteboard. One time he vomited (嘔吐) all over the new cushions on my bed. Boy, did that stay smelly for days! Still, living in a van with a dog was great. With each new day, he got stronger and more independent.
    I had dreamed of visiting Alaska since I was a child, so being able to share that trip with Kicker felt incredible. There’s something to be said about shared experiences and how they help develop a strong bond. Together we kayaked, snowmobiled, and even ended up exploring deep blue ice caves in Worthington Glacier. Kicker learned to come snowboarding with me in the mountains of Alaska. He would hike part of the way, and I would carry him the rest. I would always let him run next to me as I boarded, but I usually ended up putting him on my shoulders for the rest of the ride down—he had grown far too big to fit in my jacket.

    (2023屆廣東省湛江市高三一??荚囉⒄Z試題)Slowness has been a sweeping trend in sustainability. Slow food celebrates local produce and traditional cooking methods; slow fashion is made with a focus on people and the planet. You may have even heard of the slow city, a campaign to restore local cultures and turn cities back to their natural environments.
    Slow design developed from the larger slow movement. Although the term was only recently introduced, the idea of thoughtful design looks back to a time when buildings and furniture were made with great craftsmanship (手藝) and by hand-before the mass-produced throwaway furniture took over. You can think of the term “slow” as a celebration of timelessness: both the timelessness of a piece and the timelessness of the relationship between that piece and its owner.
    One example of slow design today is what’s been dubbed the brown furniture revival (復(fù)興). Brown furniture refers to the heavy wooden furnishings that were popular in your grandparents’ day but suddenly fell out of style at the turn of the century. Brown furniture is often associated with dark woods, such as trees like mahogany, walnut, and teak, that take decades to reach maturity and true craftsmanship to transform into functional pieces.
    Today’s furniture industry is dominated by the $13.1 billion-and-growing global ready-to-assemble(RTA) furniture market. RTA furniture is usually constructed from low-quality fiberboard, which lasts a small part of traditional furniture’s lifespan (壽命).The weight of furniture landfilled in 2018 was 9. 7 million tons, 4. 5 times what was landfilled in 1960.
    In a less direct way, the idea of timelessness also lends itself to a lower environmental impact. Besides their demonstrated physical durability, slow materials and design are meant to outlive trends and never be thrown out simply because they’re out of style.
    As second-hand shopping becomes more appealing to today’s young generation-because of its low environmental impact and affordability-the brown furniture of yesteryear is making a comeback.
    128.Why is the first paragraph written?
    A.To explain a new term.
    B.To present the topic of the text.
    C.To provide background information.
    D.To highlight the importance of slowness.
    129.What does the underlined word “dubbed” mean in paragraph 3?
    A.Known as.
    B.Mistaken for.
    C.Compared to.
    D.Connected with.
    130.What can be inferred about RTA furniture?
    A.It is out of date.
    B.It has a long lifespan.
    C.It is heavy and expensive.
    D.It has bad effects on the environment.
    131.What is good news for the brown furniture revival?
    A.Grandparents are buying new furniture.
    B.The brown furniture will soon be mass-produced.
    C.The young generation favors second-hand shopping.
    D.Materials for slow design furniture are more available.

    (2023屆廣東省湛江市高三一??荚囉⒄Z試題)Art and science may seem like polar opposites. One involves the creative flow of ideas, and the other cold, hard data. In fact, the two have much in common. Both require a lot of creativity. Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, teamed up with other Johns Hopkins researchers and six local schools and researched into this. The study finds art can help students remember better what they learn in science class.
    The researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They took the traditional science lessons and created art-focused versions of them. In a traditional science classroom, for instance, students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused class, they might sing or rap the information instead. Another example: traditional science classes often use charts and graphs(圖表). The art-focused classrooms instead had students create collages(拼貼畫) and other types of art.??Everyone would get the same information—just learn it in different ways.
    The team then randomly assigned each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that approach for the entire unit about three weeks. When they switched to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. Every unit was taught both ways to different groups of students.
    Before and after each phase of the experiment, researchers tested students on how much they could remember what they had learned. The test result indicated students who started off in regular classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they switched back to a regular science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques after switching back to a traditional class. Some continued to sketch or sing to help them remember information. Researchers and teachers also find there’s a broader benefit to using art in the classroom. Students in art-focused classes develop more creativity and learn to collaborate(協(xié)作) better skills.
    132.What method does a teacher often apply to traditional science lessons?
    A.Creating collages.
    B.Using charts and graphs.
    C.Switching between topics.
    D.Singing the information of the textbook.
    133.What happened in the research?
    A.Researchers assigned students different learning tasks.
    B.Teachers coached students on choosing learning styles.
    C.Experiments were conducted among different age groups.
    D.Each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one.
    134.How was the research carried out?
    A.By sorting data.
    B.By making comparisons.
    C.By analyzing cause and effect.
    D.By testing solutions to a problem.
    135.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
    A.Art Helps Collaborate Skills
    B.Art and Science Have Much in Common
    C.Art Can Make Science Easier to Remember
    D.Art Education Should Be Taken More Seriously


    參考答案:
    1.A 2.B 3.D

    【導(dǎo)語】本文為一篇應(yīng)用文。文章提供了四個全球?qū)嵙?xí)機(jī)會及其相關(guān)要求。
    1.推理判斷題。通讀全文,尤其是第一段“An internship (實(shí)習(xí)) is a great way to gain valuable experience in your chosen future career. Here, we offer some fantastic worldwide internships with opportunities to help you gain some really unique and diverse experience. (實(shí)習(xí)是在你選擇的未來職業(yè)中獲得寶貴經(jīng)驗(yàn)的好方法。在這里,我們提供了一些很棒的全球?qū)嵙?xí)機(jī)會,幫助你獲得一些真正獨(dú)特和多樣化的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。)”可知,本文主要介紹世界各地的一些實(shí)習(xí)機(jī)會及其相關(guān)要求,根據(jù)Dental Internship in South Africa的“Requirement: Interns should be studying dentistry(牙科) (要求:實(shí)習(xí)生必須學(xué)習(xí)牙科專業(yè))”,Medical Internship in Palampur的“Requirement: Interns should have an interest in, or already be studying, a medical related course (要求:實(shí)習(xí)生必須對醫(yī)學(xué)相關(guān)課程感興趣或已經(jīng)在學(xué)習(xí))”文章的目標(biāo)受眾為正在學(xué)習(xí)某些課程的人,可推斷應(yīng)面向?qū)W生,故最有可能出現(xiàn)在學(xué)校的雜志中。故選A項(xiàng)。
    2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由Jourmalism Internship in Ghana中“See all aspects of Ghanaian life by reporting on day-to-day life and taking part in a varied journalism internship in Accra. (通過報道日常生活和在阿克拉參加各種新聞實(shí)習(xí),了解加納生活的各個方面。)”可知,Jourmalism Internship in Ghana的這個實(shí)習(xí)項(xiàng)目可以看到加納人日常生活的方方面面,故選B項(xiàng)。
    3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Medical Internship in Palampur的“Based in northern India, in the foothills of the Himalayas, you will shadow local doctors and nurses and learn lots about the Indian medical system. (基地位于印度北部的喜馬拉雅山麓,你將跟隨當(dāng)?shù)氐尼t(yī)生和護(hù)士,了解很多關(guān)于印度醫(yī)療系統(tǒng)的知識。)”,以及Medical Internship in Romania的“Work in a variety of medical settings and with a mixture of cases, shadowing doctors and nurses and actively contributing to the care of the patients. (在各種醫(yī)療環(huán)境和混合病例中工作,跟隨醫(yī)生和護(hù)士,積極為患者的護(hù)理做出貢獻(xiàn)。)”可知,兩份實(shí)習(xí)中均出現(xiàn)shadow local doctors and nurses的表述,shadow 作及物動詞時,意為“跟隨……實(shí)地學(xué)習(xí)或參觀”,故他們的共同之處在于都鼓勵向前輩學(xué)習(xí)。故選D項(xiàng)。
    4.B 5.D 6.C 7.B

    【導(dǎo)語】本文為一篇新聞報道。文章介紹了戒酒后想要把控自己生活的迪根喜歡烘焙,原來給別人送自制的餅干是想和別人搞好關(guān)系,這個愛好促成了她開啟烘焙事業(yè),同時因?yàn)樽陨淼慕?jīng)歷,她在招募員工時很包容,不嫌棄對方是否有相關(guān)工作經(jīng)歷或者不光彩的過去。
    4.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegan said. (2013年,迪根在與酗酒的斗爭中獲勝后,試圖控制自己的生活。她確實(shí)戒酒了,但她很難與人重新建立聯(lián)系。事實(shí)證明,與他人對視都很困難。迪根說:‘我有點(diǎn)像一副軀殼,真的沒有很多生活技能或自信?!?”可知,2013年時候的Deegan很難與人重新建立聯(lián)系,甚至都害怕與他人對視,可知,Deegan 在人際交往方面很吃力。故選B項(xiàng)。
    5.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. ‘Feeding people is such a universal love language, ’ she said. (迪根開始把她自制的餅干帶到人們的家里,這幫助她與人們重新建立聯(lián)系。她說:‘喂飽人們是一種普世的愛的語言?!?”可知,Deegan 認(rèn)為給人送食物能表達(dá)愛,所以她經(jīng)常給別人送上自己做的餅干;第四段“Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. (迪根的生活在2015年發(fā)生了改變。在朋友們的鼓勵下,她挑戰(zhàn)自己,看能不能賣掉一個派。她賣了幾十個!她開始在自己的小公寓里烘焙,并最終在2017年推出了正式業(yè)務(wù)。)”可知,也正是這種出于好意的為他人提供烘焙食品的行為,為后來Deegan 烘焙店生意奠定了基礎(chǔ),故選D項(xiàng)。
    6.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking.She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. (2013年,迪根在與酗酒的斗爭中獲勝后,試圖控制自己的生活。她確實(shí)戒了酒,但她很難與人重新建立聯(lián)系)”可知,迪根以前是一個嗜酒之人,但已戒了;最后一段中“When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don't have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ve got a job,’ Deegan told the reporter. (迪根說,當(dāng)她需要更多幫助時,她會找那些對工作充滿熱情的人,即使他們沒有任何經(jīng)驗(yàn)。在經(jīng)歷了自己的掙扎之后,她意識到工作的愿望比擁有某種技能更好。她成為了第二次機(jī)會的雇主,雇傭監(jiān)獄或收容所的女性。迪根告訴記者:‘你只需要走進(jìn)那扇門,做好準(zhǔn)備,愿意、能夠、興奮地出現(xiàn)并工作,你就得到了一份工作?!?”可知,有酗酒史的Deegan的面包店不關(guān)注應(yīng)聘者是否有相關(guān)工作經(jīng)歷或者不光彩的過去,故有著特別開放的用人政策(open-door employment policy),這是特別之處。故選C項(xiàng)。
    7.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中“She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. (她花了四年時間開發(fā)了一種派皮餅干食譜,從此成為她生意的面包和黃油。)”可知,迪根很執(zhí)著(Persistent),花4年時間研發(fā)一個食譜;第五段中“When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don't have anyexperience. And she became a second- chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. (迪根說,當(dāng)她需要更多幫助時,她會找那些對工作充滿熱情的人,即使他們沒有任何經(jīng)驗(yàn)。在經(jīng)歷了自己的掙扎之后,她意識到工作的愿望比擁有某種技能更好。她成為了第二次機(jī)會的雇主,雇傭監(jiān)獄或收容所的女性。)”可知,迪根善于接受(receptive)那些有缺點(diǎn)或能改過自新的人當(dāng)員工。故選B項(xiàng)。
    8.A 9.D 10.C 11.A

    【導(dǎo)語】本文為一篇說明文。文章指出人們對失敗的理解、態(tài)度會決定會影響到他們的創(chuàng)造性產(chǎn)出,相比輕言放棄的固定型思維的人,具有成長型思維的人用發(fā)展的眼光看待失敗,更具有創(chuàng)造力。
    8.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group. (如果你經(jīng)歷過失敗,并將其視為一次提升自己的機(jī)會,那么你已經(jīng)將自己置于成長型群體中。)”,以及第三段第一句“According to the research, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. (根據(jù)研究,成長組的人往往比固定組的人產(chǎn)生更多的創(chuàng)造性想法。)”可知,對于成長性思維的人來說,失敗只是一個墊腳石,從失敗中他們能生成更多創(chuàng)新的點(diǎn)子,所以具有成長型思維的人愿意接受挑戰(zhàn),故選A項(xiàng)。
    9.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“If you experience failure and give up, you have conveniently assigned yourself to the fixed group. If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group. (如果你經(jīng)歷了失敗,放棄了,你就很方便地把自己分配到固定的群體。如果你經(jīng)歷過失敗,并將其視為a stepping stone,那么你已經(jīng)將自己置于成長型群體中。)”可知,固定型思維的人遇到失敗就放棄,而與之相對的是,成長型思維的人把失敗當(dāng)作有幫助的,可以促進(jìn)發(fā)展,可推知,劃線短語a stepping stone和D項(xiàng)“A chance to advance. (一次提高的機(jī)會)”意思相近,故選D項(xiàng)。
    10.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“According to the research, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. (根據(jù)研究,具有成長型思維的人往往比固定型思維組的人產(chǎn)生更多的創(chuàng)造性想法)”可知,這句話為段首核心觀點(diǎn)。下文“To illustrate, consider Thomas Edison. In the 19th century, Edison attempted to improve the light bulb and experimented with numerous materials. Over a thousand trials, he managed to discover an element sustaining light. A reporter once asked him, ‘It seems as though you’ve tried many times and continue to fail each time. Why is that?’ Edison answered, ‘I have not failed. I’ve just found 10, 000 ways that won’t work.’ (為了說明這一點(diǎn),以托馬斯·愛迪生為例。在19世紀(jì),愛迪生試圖改進(jìn)燈泡,并試驗(yàn)了許多材料。經(jīng)過一千多次試驗(yàn),他終于發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種維持光的元素。一位記者曾經(jīng)問他:‘你似乎已經(jīng)嘗試了很多次,但每次都失敗了。為什么呢?’愛迪生回答說:‘我沒有失敗。我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一萬種行不通的方法?!?”可知,此處為典型舉例表述,結(jié)合其內(nèi)容可知,作者提到愛迪生是以其為例來支撐本段首句提出的觀點(diǎn)。故選C項(xiàng)。
    11.主旨大意題。通讀全文,本文第一、二段主要介紹了具有成長型思維的人和具有固定型思維的人對待失敗的截然不同的態(tài)度和反應(yīng);第三、四段論證了具有成長型思維的人,善于用發(fā)展的眼光看待失敗,相比輕言放棄的固定型思維的人,更具有創(chuàng)造力,可本文的大意為:對失敗的理解、態(tài)度會決定會影響到他們的創(chuàng)造性產(chǎn)出。故選A項(xiàng)。
    12.B 13.C 14.B 15.D

    【導(dǎo)語】本文為一篇說明文。文章介紹了對社交機(jī)器人的研究:以Robin為例,處于互動前沿的機(jī)器可以對情感做出反應(yīng),并在情感上照顧弱者、老人和兒童,作者認(rèn)為用社交機(jī)器人來看護(hù)將會是一個不可阻擋的有益的趨勢。
    12.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Research into social robots has shown that machines that are at the cutting edge of interaction can respond to feelings and emotionally care for the weak, the elderly and children. (對社交機(jī)器人的研究表明,處于互動前沿的機(jī)器可以對情緒做出反應(yīng),并在情感上照顧弱者、老人和兒童。)”可知,社交機(jī)器人可以對情緒(feelings)作出回應(yīng)并在情感上(emotionally)關(guān)愛弱者、老年人和小孩,這是它的不同之處,與題目中的uniquely相呼應(yīng),故B項(xiàng)“教患有精神疾病的青少年情緒表達(dá)”與文章內(nèi)容相符,其余選項(xiàng)均非情感上的幫助。故選B項(xiàng)。
    13.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段“Robin was designed as a companion robot to provide emotional support for children receiving medical treatment. Robin explains medical procedures to them, plays games and tells stories, and during treatment distracts them to reduce their sense of pain. The robot uses AI to understand other people’s feelings, remembering facial expressions and conversations to build dialogue for follow-up sessions. In trials at the Wigmore Medical (UK) Pediatric Clinic in Yerevan, Armenia, the team found that Robin led to a 34% decrease in stress and an increase in happiness of 26% in the 120 children who interacted with him at least once. (羅賓被設(shè)計成一個陪伴機(jī)器人,為接受治療的兒童提供情感支持。羅賓向他們解釋醫(yī)療程序,玩游戲,講故事,并在治療期間分散他們的注意力,以減輕他們的痛感。該機(jī)器人使用人工智能來理解他人的感受,記住面部表情和對話,為后續(xù)會話建立對話。在亞美尼亞埃里溫威格莫爾醫(yī)學(xué)(英國)兒科診所的試驗(yàn)中,研究小組發(fā)現(xiàn),在120名使用羅賓機(jī)器人的兒童中,他們的壓力減少了34%,幸福感增加了26%)”可知,本段介紹了Robin這款為接受治療的孩子提供情感支持而設(shè)計的機(jī)器人的實(shí)際用途及其帶來的積極影響。故選C項(xiàng)。
    14.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“Population trends suggest that the demand for robots to work alongside people in care situations will grow over time. By 2050, the number of people aged 65 and over globally will be 1.6 billion (17%), roughly twice the proportion of what it is today. An extra 3.5 million care workers will be needed and that will include emotionally intelligent robots. (人口趨勢表明,隨著時間的推移,對機(jī)器人與護(hù)理人員一起工作的需求將會增長。到2050年,全球65歲及以上的人口數(shù)量將達(dá)到16億,占17%,大約是目前比例的兩倍。英國還需要350萬名護(hù)工,其中包括具有情感智能的機(jī)器人。)”可知,本段的中心句為第一句:人口趨勢表明機(jī)器人與護(hù)理人員一起工作的需求將會逐步增長。接著,進(jìn)一步闡述了原因:是未來老齡化人口的增長將導(dǎo)致護(hù)理人員需求的增加,其中也包括具有情感智能的機(jī)器人。因此,第四段是通過分析原因(analyze causes)展開的。故選B項(xiàng)。
    15.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Research into social robots has shown that machines that are at the cutting edge of interaction can respond to feelings and emotionally care for the weak, the elderly and children. (對社交機(jī)器人的研究表明,處于互動前沿的機(jī)器可以對情緒做出反應(yīng),并在情感上照顧弱者、老人和兒童。)”,第三段“The problem with this is the fear that human jobs may be lost as robots become better at handling social situations. (問題在于,隨著機(jī)器人變得更擅長處理社交場合,人們擔(dān)心人類的工作可能會失去。)”,第四段“Population trends suggest that the demand for robots to work alongside people in care situations will grow over time. (人口趨勢表明,隨著時間的推移,對機(jī)器人與護(hù)理人員一起工作的需求將會增長。)”可知,機(jī)器人在護(hù)理工作中會越來越多,呈增長趨勢;以及最后一段“But new models are being introduced that could make the breakthrough. Human emotions are difficult to define, but as trust in robots increases, breaking down the psychological barrier becomes easier to imagine. (但可能會取得突破的新型號正在推出。人類的情感很難定義,但隨著對機(jī)器人信任的增加,打破心理障礙變得更容易想象。)”可知,關(guān)于機(jī)器人取代人類來工作,因?yàn)槟苋〉猛黄频纳缃粰C(jī)器人新型號的推出,以及人們對機(jī)器人的信任的增加,打破心理障礙也變得更有可能,作者對于社交機(jī)器人取代護(hù)理人員這一前景抱有期待,認(rèn)為“機(jī)器人取代人類來做護(hù)理工作”有益且不可阻擋。故選D項(xiàng)。
    16.A 17.D 18.B

    【導(dǎo)語】本文是應(yīng)用文。文章是為可以參加澳大利亞西部邊緣發(fā)生的日全食的海上巡航做廣告。
    16.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Unlike other cruises for this event, ours has the well-known astronomer Abigail Beall to accompany you. (與其他游輪不同的是,我們有著名的天文學(xué)家阿比蓋爾·比爾陪同您。)”可知,專家的指導(dǎo)讓這個游輪與眾不同。故選A。
    17.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)表格Oceanview cabin后的“Per guest based on two people sharing £2, 199(按兩人分?jǐn)偯课豢腿?199英鎊計算)”可知,夫婦兩人要2199乘以2=4398英鎊。故選D。
    18.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“One of nature's most remarkable events-a total solar eclipse(日蝕)-will take place on the western edge of Australia on April 20th, 2023 and we have chosen the perfect way for you to enjoy this event: on a cruise(航游)at sea.(自然界最引人注目的事件之一——日全食——將于2023年4月20日在澳大利亞西部邊緣發(fā)生,我們?yōu)槟氵x擇了享受這一事件的完美方式:在海上巡航。)”可知,本文的目的是為一次特別巡游做廣告。故選B。
    19.D 20.C 21.D 22.A

    【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇新聞報道。文章主要講述了Deveza用自己的一半肝臟交換別人的腎臟給自己的媽媽,并取得了成功。這一成功的案例具有積極的影響。
    19.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段內(nèi)容“Deveza came up with a different plan. In 2017, she started the world’s first paired exchange of different organs between living donors, exchanging half her liver for someone else’s kidney.(Deveza提出了一個不同的計劃。2017年,她開始了世界上第一次活體捐贈者之間的不同器官配對交換,用自己的一半肝臟交換別人的腎臟。)”可知,Deveza為了幫助媽媽移植合適的腎臟,用自己的一半肝臟作為交換。故選D項(xiàng)。
    20.主旨大意題。通過閱讀,結(jié)合第三段的關(guān)鍵句“… there are never enough organs.(但器官永遠(yuǎn)都不夠用)”,“people with kidney failure are increasingly receiving donated organs from relatives or friends(腎衰竭患者越來越多地接受親友捐贈的器官)”和“doctors may be able to find pairs of would-be donors who can each give a kidney to the other’s relative(醫(yī)生可能會找到成對的潛在捐贈者,他們各自可以將一個腎臟捐給對方的親屬)”可知,該段主要講述了器官移植的現(xiàn)狀。故選C項(xiàng)。
    21.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章末尾段內(nèi)容“The team hope that the ground-breaking case will inspire more people to consider doing the same. Roberts says that direct exchanges involving two donors could enable up to thirty extra living-donor liver transplants a year—a ten per cent increase.(研究小組希望這個開創(chuàng)性的案例能激勵更多的人考慮做同樣的事情。羅伯茨說,涉及兩名捐贈者的直接交換每年可增加多達(dá)30例活體肝臟移植——增加10%。)”可知,他們兩個的“器官互換”的成功可以對其他人產(chǎn)生激勵作用,從而使直接交換器官的案例增加。由此可推知,這產(chǎn)生了令人滿意的結(jié)果。故選D項(xiàng)。
    22.主旨大意題。通過閱讀文章可知,文章第二段內(nèi)容“In 2017, she started the world’s first paired exchange of different organs between living donors, exchanging half her liver for someone else’s kidney.( 2017年,她開始了世界上第一次活體捐贈者之間的不同器官配對交換,用自己的一半肝臟交換別人的腎臟。)”為核心話題,即,文章主要講述了Deveza用自己的一半肝臟交換別人的腎臟給自己的媽媽,并取得了成功,后文則以此為延申講述了其可能產(chǎn)生的積極影響。因此,選項(xiàng)A“My Liver, Your Kidney(我的肝,你的腎)”不僅貼合主旨,且作為標(biāo)題更具有吸引力。故選A項(xiàng)。
    23.B 24.C 25.A 26.B

    【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。主要介紹了一項(xiàng)新研究。新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)朋友的帖子對人們的影響比名人的更大,讓人們更容易與朋友進(jìn)行比較。但是作者建議人們放下手機(jī),心存感激,努力過自己的生活。
    23.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第二段講到“Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at content shared by celebrities, new research has found. (一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),與看名人分享的內(nèi)容相比,參與朋友分享的社交媒體可能更具破壞性)”可知新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)朋友的帖子對我們的影響比名人的更大,故選B。
    24.推理判斷題。文章第二段講到“Viren Swami, Professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University, believes this is partly because we know it’s hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influences, but when we’re comparing ourselves to our friends, it feels like we should- or could-live the way they do. (Anglia Ruskin大學(xué)社會心理學(xué)教授Viren Swami認(rèn)為,這部分是因?yàn)槲覀冎篮茈y獲得名人或影響力的生活,但當(dāng)我們將自己與朋友進(jìn)行比較時,感覺我們應(yīng)該或者可以像他們那樣生活)”可知根據(jù)Swam的說法,我們更容易與朋友進(jìn)行比較是因?yàn)樗麄兊纳罘绞礁菀滓姷玫?,故選C。
    25.詞義猜測題。文章劃線單詞下一句講到“We all have one area in our lives that triggers(觸 發(fā))us. Maybe you’ve been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media, envying your school friend who just landed their dream role. (我們的生活中都有一個領(lǐng)域觸發(fā)了我們。也許你已經(jīng)找了好幾個月的新工作,你在社交媒體上發(fā)現(xiàn)自己,羨慕你的學(xué)校朋友,他剛剛找到了他們夢想中的角色。)”可知劃線單詞所在句子的意思是:但這不僅僅局限于身體形象。所以第六段中帶下劃線的單詞可能的意思是“受限制的”,故選A。
    26.推理判斷題。文章最后一段講到“Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone. So, put down your phone, get offline, be thankful and try to live your own life. (每個人都有自己的奮斗,生活對任何人來說都不完美。所以,放下手機(jī),下線,心存感激,努力過自己的生活。)”可知作者建議人們停止比較,做你自己,故選B。

    【導(dǎo)語】本文是說明文。文章主要介紹好奇心可以幫助記憶和提高學(xué)習(xí)興趣。
    27.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Consider a study at the University of California at Davis in 2014. The researchers first asked each participant to rate their curiosity about learning the answers to a series of questions, such as “What does the term ‘dinosaur’ actually mean?” The participants then lay in an fMRI brain scanner (掃描儀) while the same questions were presented, followed shortly after by the answers. The participants were then tested on their recollection of the facts an hour later. (想想2014年加州大學(xué)戴維斯分校的一項(xiàng)研究。研究人員首先要求每個參與者對一系列問題的答案進(jìn)行好奇心評估,比如“‘恐龍”這個詞到底是什么意思?”然后,參與者躺在功能核磁共振掃描儀中,同時提出同樣的問題,然后很快就會給出答案。一小時后,測試參與者對這些事實(shí)的記憶。)”和第三段的“The effects of curiosity on later recall were striking.(好奇心對后來回憶的影響是顯著的。)”可推斷,這項(xiàng)研究關(guān)注的是好奇心對記憶力的影響。故選C。
    28.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“The researchers first asked each participant to rate their curiosity about learning the answers to a series of questions (研究人員首先要求每個參與者對一系列問題的答案進(jìn)行好奇心評估)”可知,首先向參與者提出問題的目的是要衡量他們對問題的好奇心。故選C。
    29.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“Dopamine is normally associated with reward, but animal studies suggest that it can also enhance the formation of new neural(神經(jīng)的) connections. It looked as if the feeling of curiosity was helping prepare the brain to absorb the new and important information, and this then resulted in a more stable memory. (多巴胺通常與獎賞有關(guān),但動物研究表明,它也能促進(jìn)新的神經(jīng)連接的形成。似乎好奇的感覺有助于大腦準(zhǔn)備吸收新的重要信息,這會導(dǎo)致記憶更加穩(wěn)定。)”可推斷,多巴胺促進(jìn)新的神經(jīng)連接的形成,有助于大腦吸收新知識,導(dǎo)致記憶穩(wěn)定,因此推斷它可能有利于學(xué)習(xí)。故選B。
    30.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“This additional, and unexpected, memory boost could be extremely useful whenever we’re trying to learn something new and complicated. We’re unlikely, after all, to find every single element of our studies interesting. But if we can develop some curiosity about at least some of the facts, we may find that the rest of the material also sticks far more easily. (當(dāng)我們努力學(xué)習(xí)新的復(fù)雜的東西時,這種額外的、意想不到的記憶增強(qiáng)可能會非常有用。畢竟,我們不太可能發(fā)現(xiàn)我們研究中的每一個元素都很有趣。但是,如果我們能對至少一些事實(shí)產(chǎn)生好奇心,我們可能就會發(fā)現(xiàn),其余的材料也更容易銘記在心。)”可知,這個意外的發(fā)現(xiàn)表明好奇心可以激發(fā)學(xué)習(xí)興趣。故選A。
    31.B 32.C 33.D

    【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇應(yīng)用文。介紹了歐洲最美麗的一些小鎮(zhèn),各有特點(diǎn),吸引游客前往游覽。
    31.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第三句“Today, it’s a center of thalassotherapy, using seawater to treat medical conditions, as well as a beautiful Breton town. (今天,它是一個地中海治療中心,使用海水治療疾病,也是一個美麗的布雷頓小鎮(zhèn)。)”可知,這個美麗小鎮(zhèn)可以使用海水治療疾病,因此想要接受健康治療的人可以前往Roscoff。故選B項(xiàng)。
    32.推理判斷題。根據(jù)本文最后一句“Today, they still haven’t managed to bring cars in — it sits at the bottom of a 400-foot cliff (懸崖). (今天,他們?nèi)匀粵]有設(shè)法把汽車帶進(jìn)來——它坐落在400英尺高的懸崖底部)”可知,車輛無法進(jìn)入Clovelly,所以游客要步行游覽。故選C項(xiàng)。
    33.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Here are some of the prettiest small towns across Europe, from humble fishing towns to hilltop medieval power bases. (這里有一些歐洲最美麗的小鎮(zhèn),從簡陋的漁村到山頂中世紀(jì)的權(quán)力基地。)”可知,本文旨在介紹歐洲最美麗的小鎮(zhèn),介紹旅游勝地。故選D項(xiàng)。

    【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了英國飲茶文化背后的起源故事。
    34.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“Now I’m fairly certain that no matter what picture you just thought up, that person comes complete with a stiff upper lip and a cup of tea in their hand, because that’s what the English do.(現(xiàn)在我很確定,不管你剛剛想到的是什么畫面,那個人都是緊繃著上嘴唇,手里拿著一杯茶,因?yàn)橛司褪沁@樣做的)”可知,人們認(rèn)為英國人喝茶很典型。故選A。
    35.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“And while it’s fairly common knowledge that Westerners have China to thank for the original cultivation of tea drinking, it’s far less known that it was the Portuguese who inspired its popularity in England in particular, one Portuguese woman.(眾所周知,西方人要感謝中國是飲茶的起源,但鮮為人知的是,是葡萄牙人,尤其是一位葡萄牙婦女,激發(fā)了飲茶在英國的流行)”和第三段第一句“Travel back in time to 1662, when Catherine of Braganza (daughter of Portugal’s King John IV) won the hand of England’s newly restored monarch, King Charles II, with the help of a very large dowry (嫁妝) that included money, spices, treasures and the highly profitable ports of Tangiers and Bombay.(追溯到1662年,布拉干薩的凱瑟琳(葡萄牙國王約翰四世的女兒)在一大筆嫁妝的幫助下贏得了英國新復(fù)辟君主查理二世的手,嫁妝包括金錢、香料、珍寶以及利潤豐厚的坦吉爾和孟買港口)”可知,英國國王查理二世的王后促進(jìn)了英國的飲茶風(fēng)尚。故選D。
    36.推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒第二段第一句“When she relocated up north to join King Charles, she is said to have packed loose-leaf tea as part of her personal belongings; it would also have likely been part of her dowry.(當(dāng)她搬到北方加入查爾斯國王時,據(jù)說她把散葉茶作為私人物品的一部分;這很可能也是她嫁妝的一部分)”和最后一段中的“but what is for sure is that tea was already popular among the upper class of Portugal due to the country’s direct trade line to China via Macau(但可以肯定的是,由于葡萄牙通過澳門與中國的直接貿(mào)易關(guān)系,茶葉在葡萄牙上層階級中已經(jīng)很受歡迎)”可知,茶在葡萄牙比在英國流行得早。故選C。
    37.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段“And while it’s fairly common knowledge that Westerners have China to thank for the original cultivation of tea drinking, it’s far less known that it was the Portuguese who inspired its popularity in England in particular, one Portuguese woman.(眾所周知,西方人要感謝中國是飲茶的起源,但鮮為人知的是,是葡萄牙人,尤其是一位葡萄牙婦女,激發(fā)了飲茶在英國的流行)”,第三段第一句中的“Travel back in time to 1662(追溯到1662年)”和第四段“When she relocated up north to join King Charles, she is said to have packed loose-leaf tea as part of her personal belongings; it would also have likely been part of her dowry. A fun legend has it that the boxes were marked Iransporte de Ervas Aromaticas (Transport of Aromatic Herbs) later shortened to T. E. A.(當(dāng)她搬到北方加入查爾斯國王時,據(jù)說她把散葉茶作為私人物品的一部分;這很可能也是她嫁妝的一部分。一個有趣的傳說是,這些盒子被標(biāo)記為Iransporte de Ervas Aromaticas(芳香草藥運(yùn)輸),后來被簡稱為T.E.A)”可知,文章主要是講英國茶飲背后的故事。故選A。
    38.B 39.D 40.C 41.A

    【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文中主要就不吃早餐是否會變胖的問題展開論述,引用了各種研究結(jié)果和發(fā)現(xiàn)。
    38.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)后文“as long as you control those high-calorie desires and stay active.(只要你控制對高熱量食物的渴望并保持活躍)”可知,只要控制對高熱量食物的渴望并保持活躍,對于那些不吃早餐的人來說,好消息是體重并不是不可避免的,故畫線詞意思是“不可避免的”。故選B。
    39.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Some researchers have found that you may even eat fewer calories overall, and end up using your body’s fat reserves for energy, which can actually help you lose weight.(一些研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn),你甚至可以攝入更少的卡路里,最終利用身體的脂肪儲備來獲取能量,這實(shí)際上可以幫助你減肥)”可知,有些不吃早餐的人會減肥因?yàn)樗麄償z入的卡路里更少。故選D。
    40.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第三段“However, weight isn’t the only consideration: studies show that breakfast-skippers are likely to exercise less. This may be because they have lower energy levels-after eight hours or so without food, the body will have used up most of its stores of easy-to-access energy during sleep. Morning fasters are also more likely to have unhealthy, but appetite-suppressing habits, such as smoking or drinking a lot of coffee.(然而,體重并不是唯一的考慮因素:研究表明,不吃早餐的人可能鍛煉得更少。這可能是因?yàn)樗麄兊哪芰克捷^低——在不進(jìn)食8小時左右后,身體將在睡眠中消耗掉大部分易于獲取的能量。早起禁食的人也更有可能有不健康但抑制食欲的習(xí)慣,比如吸煙或喝大量咖啡)”可知,第三段主要講了不吃早餐的影響。故選C。
    41.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Research shows that although avoiding breakfast will make you hungrier and you might make up for that with a bigger lunch, this won’t necessarily make you “fatter” — on average, those who skip breakfast don’t eat more across the whole day than if they didn’t skip it.(研究表明,盡管不吃早餐會讓你更餓,你可能會用一頓豐盛的午餐來彌補(bǔ),但這并不一定會讓你“更胖”——平均而言,不吃早餐的人一整天都不會比不吃早餐的人吃得更多)”以及第三段“However, weight isn’t the only consideration: studies show that breakfast-skippers are likely to exercise less.(然而,體重并不是唯一的考慮因素:研究表明,不吃早餐的人可能鍛煉得更少)”可推知,文中不涉及作者對不吃早餐的態(tài)度,即作者對不吃早餐的態(tài)度是客觀的。故選A。

    【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一種新型的電池,同時講述了該電池的工作原理以及相關(guān)應(yīng)用。
    42.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“Other e-waste is more hidden, such as electronic single-use medical diagnostic kits, environmental sensors, and smart labels that contain one-off batteries and other equipment.(其他電子垃圾則較為隱蔽,如電子一次性醫(yī)療診斷包、環(huán)境傳感器以及包含一次性電池和其他設(shè)備的智能標(biāo)簽。)”以及第二段中““It’s these small batteries that are big problems, ” says public health scientist Dele Ogunseitan, who was not involved in developing the battery. ”Nobody really pays attention to where they end up.(“這些小電池才是大問題,”公共衛(wèi)生科學(xué)家Dele Ogunseitan說,他沒有參與電池的開發(fā)。沒有人真正關(guān)注它們最終會去哪里。)”可知,由于較小的一次性電池垃圾較為隱蔽,所以很少有人會真正的關(guān)注它們最終會去哪里。由此推斷這些較小的一次性電池垃圾是亟需解決的。故選B。
    43.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“A traditional battery’s components are packaged in plastic and metal; in the new battery, the anode and cathode are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper. (傳統(tǒng)電池的組件用塑料和金屬包裝;在新電池中,陽極和陰極是印刷在紙張正面和背面的墨水。)”可知,新型電池中陽極和陰極是印在一張紙的正反面的墨水。故選C。
    44.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“That paper is filled with salt, which dissolves (溶解)when the paper is dampened with water. The resulting saltwater solution acts as the electrolyte.(這張紙里裝滿了鹽,當(dāng)紙被水浸濕時,鹽就會溶解。由此產(chǎn)生的鹽水溶液充當(dāng)電解質(zhì)。)”以及最后一段中“Add just a couple of drops of water, however, and the salt dissolves, allowing electrons to flow. (然而,只要加入幾滴水,鹽就會溶解,讓電子流動。)”可知,水是用來使新電池開始工作的。故選D。
    45.推理判斷題。通讀全文以及第三段中“Their new paper in Scientific Reports describes a paper battery developed from environmentally friendly materials that could eventually present a sustainable alternative to the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.(他們在《科學(xué)報告》上發(fā)表的新論文描述了一種由環(huán)保材料開發(fā)的紙電池,最終可能成為低功耗設(shè)備中常見的有害電池的可持續(xù)替代品。)”可知,文章介紹的是一種新型的電池,介紹了該電池的工作原理以及相關(guān)應(yīng)用。故可以推斷文章出自先進(jìn)科技部分。故選A。
    46.D 47.C 48.A

    46.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句話“Its aim is to find volunteering opportunities for students, teachers and other staff at school.(其目的是為學(xué)生、教師和學(xué)校其他工作人員尋找志愿服務(wù)機(jī)會)”可知,委員會的目標(biāo)是給學(xué)生、老師和其他工作人員提供做志愿者的機(jī)會。故選D。
    47.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四個黑點(diǎn)后面的內(nèi)容“Evaluation of the Board’s work.(對委員會工作的評價)”可知,“對委員會的工作進(jìn)行評估”可能是今年議程的話題之一。故選C。
    48.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三第一句話“This is a unique and exciting opportunity open to all studying at King’s, regardless of how much or how little you have volunteered.(這是一個獨(dú)特而令人興奮的機(jī)會,向所有在國王學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)的人開放,不管你自愿參加的次數(shù)有多少)”可知,國王學(xué)院的學(xué)生們可以申請成為國王學(xué)院董事會成員。故選A。
    49.D 50.C 51.A 52.B

    【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章推薦了英國作家Gerald Durrell的一本書——《我的家人和其他動物》。
    49.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s. (從被令人印象深刻的花園包圍的小屋,到探索沙灘和充滿野生動物的深林的日子,在《我的家人和其他動物》一書中,英國作家Gerald Durrell生動地描述了20世紀(jì)30年代他的家人在希臘科孚島的時光。)”可知,Durrell在科孚島的生活是多樣的。故選D項(xiàng)。
    50.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)語境和劃線句前文“was intended to be a nostalgic(懷舊的)account of natural history, but in the first few pages,(本想成為一本關(guān)于自然史的懷舊書,)”可知,作者原本想寫一本關(guān)于自然史的懷舊書,從而推知,劃線詞句“but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family. (但在前幾頁,我錯誤地介紹了我的家人。)”其中劃線部分應(yīng)為“我情不自禁地介紹了自己的家人”的意思。故選C項(xiàng)。
    51.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中“Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. (Durrell對細(xì)節(jié)的關(guān)注使這本書如此引人入勝,島上的每一個景象、聲音和氣味都栩栩如生。)”和第五段“My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry. (《我的家庭和其他動物》很難歸類,一部分是游記,一部分是自傳,一部分是自然歷史,一部分是喜劇,一種描述性的語言貫穿始終,有時幾乎把它提升到詩歌的境界。)”可知,這兩段主要介紹了這本書的寫作特點(diǎn)。故選A項(xiàng)。
    52.推理判斷題。通讀全文,根據(jù)最后一段“As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life. (作為一種真正的閱讀樂趣,對于任何目前正走在艱難人生道路上的成年人或年齡較大的青少年來說,這是一種完美的文學(xué)逃避。)”可知,這篇文章的目的是為了推薦這本《我的家庭和其他動物》。故選B項(xiàng)。

    【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一項(xiàng)研究結(jié)果表明昆蟲的思維比人類想象的復(fù)雜。這項(xiàng)研究對于保護(hù)昆蟲有很大的作用。
    53.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句話“The hard-working insects can change their behavior when things seem difficult, and now some scientists find there is proof that they also like to play.(這種勤勞的昆蟲可以在困難的時候改變自己的行為,現(xiàn)在一些科學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)有證據(jù)表明它們也喜歡玩耍)”可知,新的研究表明蜜蜂喜歡玩耍。故選A。
    54.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第二句話“In this case, to get rid of external factors, scientists made sure the bees had adapted to their new home and that their environment was stress-free.(在這種情況下,為了擺脫外部因素,科學(xué)家們確保蜜蜂已經(jīng)適應(yīng)了他們的新家,并且他們的環(huán)境沒有壓力)”可推知,為了消除外部因素,他們讓蜜蜂適應(yīng)新家,讓他們有了家的感覺,從而對環(huán)境感覺不到壓力。故選C。
    55.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段 Lars Chittka說的話“This research provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more complicated than we imagine. There are lots of animals who play just for the purpose of enjoyment, but most examples come from young mammals (哺乳動物)and birds,(這項(xiàng)研究有力地表明,昆蟲的思維遠(yuǎn)比我們想象的復(fù)雜。有很多動物只是為了享樂而玩耍,但大多數(shù)例子來自于年輕的哺乳動物和鳥類)”可知, Lars Chittka的話表明了昆蟲的思維非常復(fù)雜。故選B。
    56.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段Samadi Galpay所說的話“This finding has effects on our understanding of the sense and welfare of insects, which, consequently, encourages us to respect and protect wildlife on Earth ever more.(這一發(fā)現(xiàn)對我們理解昆蟲的感覺和福利產(chǎn)生了影響,從而鼓勵我們更加尊重和保護(hù)地球上的野生動物)”可知,該研究結(jié)果有助于保護(hù)地球上的野生動物。故選D。

    【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。這篇文章主要內(nèi)容是說父母對孩子的數(shù)學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)做出不同的反應(yīng),會對孩子產(chǎn)生不同的作用;用與個人特征或天生能力相關(guān)的反應(yīng)來鼓勵孩子,可能會削弱他們的數(shù)學(xué)動機(jī)和成績,所以建議家長在家里限制這種類型的反應(yīng)。
    57.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的句子“Parents who make comments linking their children’s performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.(將孩子的表現(xiàn)與智力等個人特征聯(lián)系起來的父母使用的是所謂的‘個人反應(yīng)’。相比之下,將孩子的行為(如努力或策略的使用)與他們的表現(xiàn)聯(lián)系起來的父母使用的是‘過程反應(yīng)’)”可知,使用“過程反應(yīng)”的父母,將孩子的行為(如努力或策略的使用)與他們的表現(xiàn)聯(lián)系起來,而C項(xiàng)“What works well for your study?(什么對你的學(xué)習(xí)有幫助?)”談?wù)摰氖呛⒆拥膶W(xué)習(xí)策略,屬于“過程反應(yīng)”。故選C項(xiàng)。
    58.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的句子“Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.(最近,佐治亞大學(xué)進(jìn)行的一項(xiàng)新研究發(fā)現(xiàn),隨著時間的推移,用與個人特征或天生能力相關(guān)的反應(yīng)來鼓勵孩子,可能會削弱他們的數(shù)學(xué)動機(jī)和成績)”和第四段最后一句“While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics — in particular, related to failure — are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.(雖然強(qiáng)調(diào)策略和努力的反應(yīng)與任何成績結(jié)果無關(guān),但收到更多關(guān)于個人特征——特別是與失敗有關(guān)——反應(yīng)的孩子,更有可能避免更難的數(shù)學(xué)問題,表現(xiàn)出更高水平的數(shù)學(xué)焦慮,在數(shù)學(xué)成績測試中得分更低)”可知,“個人反應(yīng)”會阻礙孩子學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)。故選D項(xiàng)。
    59.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的第一句話“Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home.(由于“個人反應(yīng)”預(yù)示著隨著時間的推移,孩子的數(shù)學(xué)適應(yīng)能力會下降,研究人員建議家長在家里限制這種類型的反應(yīng))”可知,研究人員建議家長在家里限制“個人反映”這種類型的反應(yīng)。故選A項(xiàng)。
    60.主旨大意題。這篇文章主要內(nèi)容是說父母對孩子的數(shù)學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)做出不同的反應(yīng),會對孩子產(chǎn)生不同的作用;用與個人特征或天生能力相關(guān)的反應(yīng)來鼓勵孩子,可能會削弱他們的數(shù)學(xué)動機(jī)和成績,所以建議家長在家里限制這種類型的反應(yīng)。所以B項(xiàng)“The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters(父母與孩子談?wù)摂?shù)學(xué)的方式很重要)”作為本文的題目與文章主題相符合。故選B項(xiàng)。
    61.B 62.C 63.D

    61.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“Famous for its sunny beaches and natural wonders, Miyako Island welcomes many visitors during holidays.(Miyako Island以其陽光明媚的海灘和自然奇觀而聞名,在假日期間歡迎許多游客)”可知,本文介紹的是Miyako Island適合游客游玩的項(xiàng)目。由此推知,這段文字可能取自一本《旅行指南》。故選B。
    62.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Diverse and colorful fish部分中“For beginners, Aragusuku and Shigira are a good choice but advanced snorkelers may see Waiwal Beach and Shimojishima as their ultimate spots.(對于初學(xué)者來說,Aragusuku和Shigira是一個不錯的選擇,但高級潛水者可能會把Waiwal海灘和下島作為他們的終極目的地)”可知,Shigira適合初學(xué)者浮潛。故選C。
    63.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Fresh island food部分中“Okinawa prefecture boasts the highest mango yield in Japan,and Miyako Island’s warm subtropical climate is optimal for growing fresh, juicy mangoes.(沖繩縣擁有日本最高的芒果產(chǎn)量,而Miyako島溫暖的亞熱帶氣候最適合種植新鮮多汁的芒果)”可知,Miyako島暖的亞熱帶氣候使得該地的芒果新鮮多汁。故選D。

    64.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“When I volunteered that I was learning to play, their tone was cheerfully joking, “Good luck with that!” If this game is so good, why are adults ignoring it? (當(dāng)我主動提出我正在學(xué)下象棋時,他們的語氣是愉快的玩笑,“祝你好運(yùn)!”如果這個游戲這么好,為什么成年人都忽視它呢?)”可知,這些家長開玩笑是覺得成年人學(xué)象棋很奇怪。故選D。
    65.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段“Just then, a group of kids passed me, “Why are adults learning chess?” One asked, in an apparently joking tone.(就在這時,一群孩子從我身邊走過,“為什么成年人都在學(xué)象棋?”其中一人顯然是開玩笑地問道。)”可知,孩子們是在開玩笑,由此可以推出,孩子們認(rèn)為成年人學(xué)象棋這件事情很可笑。故選A項(xiàng)。
    66.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章第三段“I wanted in, and that is why I got a membership card and started throwing myself in.(我想加入,所以我辦了張會員卡,開始投身其中。)”可知,作者想學(xué)習(xí)象棋,并加入了學(xué)習(xí)象棋的隊(duì)伍當(dāng)中。跟前文“tired of”表示“厭倦某事”形成對比。由此推測出,作者應(yīng)該是厭倦了坐在旁邊看著大家下棋的生活,想要加入進(jìn)去。B項(xiàng)“不參與其中”符合句意。故選B項(xiàng)。
    67.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段“It felt like a gym where I was trained to solve problems with focus, memory, logic, and occasional headaches.(這感覺就像一個健身房,在那里我被訓(xùn)練用專注力、記憶力、邏輯性和偶爾的頭痛來解決問題。)”可知,下象棋就像是把自己的腦子帶去健身房接受訓(xùn)練來解決問題即體現(xiàn)出學(xué)習(xí)下象棋幫助作者鍛煉大腦。故選C。

    【分析】本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了小狗走失后偶遇一個男孩,最終成功跟隨小男孩回家的故事。
    68.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“On the way to his home the child turned many times and beat the dog, declaring with childish gestures that he held him in contempt(茂視)as an unimportant dog. the dog apologized for being this quality of animal and expressed regret in fine form, but he continued stealthily to follow the child.(在回家的路上,孩子多次轉(zhuǎn)過身來打那條狗,用孩子氣的手勢宣稱他蔑視那條狗,認(rèn)為它是一條不重要的狗。狗為自己是這樣的動物而道歉,并以良好的形式表示遺憾,但它繼續(xù)偷偷地跟著孩子。)”可知,孩子試圖擺脫狗,而且他們在此之前并不認(rèn)識,可見他們是無意間遇到的。從而推斷,這條狗曾是別人的寵物,但迷路了。小狗是丟失后才遇到男孩的。故選B。
    69.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段“He performed a few playful jumps with such abandon(盡情地) that the child suddenly saw him to be a valuable thing.(它盡情地跳了幾下,孩子突然覺得它很有價值。)”可知,小狗努力的取悅男孩,使得男孩改變了主意。故選D。
    70.推理判斷題。文章四五兩段在描述男孩拖拉小狗上樓梯的過程,看得出小男孩精力充沛,一直不懈的努力著,盡管當(dāng)時小狗是有點(diǎn)害怕的,但小男孩沒有停止自己的行為,可見這個男孩子有點(diǎn)調(diào)皮。故選A。
    71.推理判斷題。狗的心情和它的遭遇是一致的,第一段狗盡管被嫌棄但還是跟著,心情是有點(diǎn)罪惡感的,從apologized可以看出;第二段出現(xiàn)了anxious and shamed,可見狗的心情是緊張羞愧;第三段狗取悅小孩;四五段就是狗被帶上樓梯的過程,從panic-stricken可以看出,狗因?yàn)槲粗牡胤礁械胶ε?;最后一段狗和小孩已?jīng)交好,推斷出心情愉悅。故選C。

    72.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“It certainly seems so based on the recent experiments conducted by researchers in Japan, who developed a wearable soft robot for patients to use during treatments, such as injections(注射) and other unpleasant therapies in an attempt to ease their pain and defend people against anxiety.(從日本研究人員最近進(jìn)行的實(shí)驗(yàn)來看,似乎確實(shí)如此。他們開發(fā)了一種可穿戴的軟體機(jī)器人,供患者在治療期間使用,如注射和其他令人不快的治療,試圖減輕他們的疼痛,保護(hù)人們免受焦慮。)”可知,這款機(jī)器人可以減輕患者的疼痛。故選B。
    73.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段“The researchers found that holding the robot helped relieve the experience for patients regardless of the experimental conditions used, and concluded that the feelings of well -being that can be created by human touch may have also been activated by the robot. “It is well known that interpersonal touch can reduce pain and fear, and we believe that this effect can be achieved even with nonliving soft robots,” states Professor Tanaka.(研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn),無論實(shí)驗(yàn)條件如何,抱著機(jī)器人都有助于緩解患者的體驗(yàn),并得出結(jié)論,人類觸摸所產(chǎn)生的幸福感可能也被機(jī)器人激活了。田中教授說:“眾所周知,人與人之間的接觸可以減少疼痛和恐懼,我們相信即使是在無生命的軟體機(jī)器人身上也能達(dá)到這種效果?!?”可知,這款機(jī)器人讓人們在觸摸它的時候產(chǎn)生了幸福感,從而緩解了疼痛和焦慮。故選C。
    74.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“Future versions of the robot might use a controlled gaze or even AR (augmented reality) technologies to help build a connection with the patient or distract them from pain perception in various situations.(未來版本的機(jī)器人可能會使用控制凝視甚至AR(增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)實(shí))技術(shù)來幫助與患者建立聯(lián)系,或在各種情況下分散他們對疼痛的感知。)”可推斷,研究人員未來會開發(fā)一些其他的醫(yī)療功能。故選A。
    75.主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段“It certainly seems so based on the recent experiments conducted by researchers in Japan, who developed a wearable soft robot for patients to use during treatments, such as injections(注射) and other unpleasant therapies in an attempt to ease their pain and defend people against anxiety. On being subjected to a moderate heat stimulus(刺激), the study participants who wore the robot experienced less pain than in the tests in which they did not wear the robot. (從日本研究人員最近進(jìn)行的實(shí)驗(yàn)來看,似乎確實(shí)如此。他們開發(fā)了一種可穿戴的軟體機(jī)器人,供患者在治療期間使用,如注射和其他令人不快的治療,試圖減輕他們的疼痛,保護(hù)人們免受焦慮。在接受適度的熱刺激時,佩戴機(jī)器人的研究參與者比不佩戴機(jī)器人的測試參與者感受到的疼痛要少。)”及全文可知,文章主要介紹了一種可穿戴的軟體機(jī)器人,它們可以幫助那些害怕注射的人們,以緩解他們的焦慮。所以“Wearable Soft Robot Helps People Scare of injections.(可穿戴軟機(jī)器人幫助人們避免打針。)”作為文章標(biāo)題最為合適。故選D。

(這本暢銷書提出的觀點(diǎn)是,你不需要等待退休,推遲你的人生計劃。相反,你可以用漫長的職業(yè)生涯換取短暫的工作爆發(fā)和頻繁的“迷你退休”)”可知,該書作者認(rèn)為人們不必要等待退休而推遲自己的人生計劃,而是應(yīng)該用短暫的工集中工作和“迷你退休”模式,實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的人生。由此推知,也許Timothy Ferriss同意“活在當(dāng)下”的觀點(diǎn)。故選C。

As a result, my self-worth became tied to my academic success.(和一些人一樣,我在一個重視學(xué)業(yè)勝過一切的家庭中長大,當(dāng)你在課堂上表現(xiàn)出色時,他們會給你一點(diǎn)額外的愛,當(dāng)你表現(xiàn)不好時,他們就會把你的愛拿走。結(jié)果,我的自我價值與我的學(xué)業(yè)成功緊密相連)”可知,作者的父母對他大學(xué)生活的最大壓力是取得好成績。故選B。

Dams also slow water’s flow while blocking sediment(沉積物)that would otherwise flow downstream. The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity where none had existed. (海貍和人類一樣,會改變周圍的環(huán)境來滿足它們的需求。他們被稱為自然工程師,他們推倒樹木建造房屋,建造水壩以提高水位以抵御敵人。大壩還減緩了水流,同時阻擋了原本會流向下游的沉積物。由此產(chǎn)生的濕地往往吸引了原本不存在的野生動物多樣性。)”可知,第一段主要講海貍對它們的棲息地有什么影響。故選B項(xiàng)。
    99.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank supporting Winston Path(但是縣官員擔(dān)心更高的水位會如何影響支撐溫斯頓小路的土壤庫)”可知,海貍家族的活動之所以會引起關(guān)注是因?yàn)槭軞g迎的小路可能會被破壞。故選C項(xiàng)。
    100.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句“Baffles stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam, unnoticed by the beavers.(擋板通過創(chuàng)建一個隱藏的出口來穩(wěn)定水位,讓高水位從大壩中流出,而不被海貍發(fā)現(xiàn)。)”可推知,劃線的單詞beaver baffle應(yīng)該指的是一個維持水位的裝置。故選C項(xiàng)。
    101.推斷判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Swallow Pond’s 2023 project will restore proper water depth and improve wildlife habit at without creating problems for the path.(Pond’s 2023 年項(xiàng)目將恢復(fù)適當(dāng)?shù)乃?,改善野生動物的?xí)性,而不會給路徑帶來問題。)”可知,燕子塘2023年項(xiàng)目的主題是和諧共存。故選B項(xiàng)。
    102.D 103.C 104.B 105.D

    【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一項(xiàng)關(guān)于仿生蘑菇產(chǎn)電的研究。
    102.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞previous research可以定位到第一段“but in previous research, they didn’t survive long on the artificial surfaces(但在之前的研究中,它們在人造表面上存活的時間并不長)”, they指的是前面提到的藍(lán)藻菌,由此可知知,在以前的研究中存在的問題是:沒有適合藍(lán)藻菌生存的棲息地。故選D項(xiàng)。
    103.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四自然段“mushroom naturally host communities of bacteria and other microbes(蘑菇是細(xì)菌和其他微生物的天然宿主)”可知,最終選擇蘑菇作為實(shí)驗(yàn)對象是因?yàn)樗鼈兪羌?xì)菌自然生長的地方。 故選C項(xiàng)。
    104.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第3段“They also used a black ink made of graphene, which is great at conducting electricity.(他們還使用了石墨烯制成的黑色墨水,石墨烯導(dǎo)電性能很好。)”可知,在這次測試中,黑色墨水的主要功能是導(dǎo)電。本句中conduct 意為“傳導(dǎo)”conducting electricity與B選項(xiàng)的deliver electrons同義。故選B項(xiàng)。
    105.主旨大意題。文章主旨句在第一自然段but轉(zhuǎn)折后,因?yàn)樵瓉淼难芯看嬖趩栴},研究學(xué)者們給藍(lán)藻菌找了個新家mushroom,接下來全文基本都在介紹mushroom如何被利用來make electricity,第二自然段biotic mushroom仿生蘑菇即是整個過程的總結(jié),因此D選項(xiàng)“仿生蘑菇產(chǎn)電”能概括全文內(nèi)容適合用作文章標(biāo)題,其他選項(xiàng)沒有抓住本文的關(guān)鍵詞及高頻詞mushroom。故選D項(xiàng)。

So when the COVID-19 broke out three years ago and the community fell on hard times, Chris Bossio knew just what to do. Chris opened a barbershop called Headlines, where people could come together for a hair cut, having some conversations meanwhile.(在世界各地,理發(fā)店不僅促進(jìn)了當(dāng)?shù)亟?jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展,還將人們聚集在一起。因此,當(dāng)三年前新冠肺炎爆發(fā),社區(qū)陷入困境時,克里斯·博西奧知道該怎么做??死锼归_了一家名為“頭條”的理發(fā)店,人們可以聚在一起剪頭發(fā),同時還可以聊天)”可推知,在疫情期間,Chris Bossio開理發(fā)店“頭條”的原因是想把人們聚集在一起,讓在大家可以聊天交流,緩解焦慮,共克時艱。故選B項(xiàng)。
    110.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)指代關(guān)系和劃線詞上文“Impressed by his down-to-earth, easy-to-understand lessons, one of his business partners convinced him to upload them on Tiktok (抖音).(他的一個商業(yè)伙伴對他實(shí)用且簡單易懂的課程印象深刻,說服他把這些課程上傳到抖音上)”可推知,指示代詞“That”指代的是上文中“把他的課程上傳到抖音上”這一做法。故選C項(xiàng)。
    111.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段中“He held workshops where he trained barbers on not only the business of barbering, but also how to establish their brands.

(緩慢已經(jīng)成為可持續(xù)發(fā)展的普遍趨勢。)”可知,本段主要介紹緩慢已經(jīng)成為一種趨勢。同時根據(jù)第二段中“Slow design developed from the larger slow movement. (慢設(shè)計是從較大的慢運(yùn)動發(fā)展而來的。)”以及“You can think of the term “slow” as a celebration of timelessness: both the timelessness of a piece and the timelessness of the relationship between that piece and its owner.(你可以把“慢”這個詞看作是對永恒的頌揚(yáng):既是一件作品的永恒,也是這件作品與其主人之間關(guān)系的永恒。)”可知,后文主要闡述了“慢設(shè)計”的發(fā)展過程以及人們對“慢”這個詞的觀點(diǎn)。故第一段為文章提供了背景信息。故選C。
    129.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)后文“Brown furniture refers to the heavy wooden furnishings that were popular in your grandparents’ day but suddenly fell out of style at the turn of the century. (棕色家具指的是厚重的木制家具,在你祖父母的時代很流行,但在世紀(jì)之交突然過時了。)”可知,后文是對前文的brown furniture的解釋,故劃線詞意為“被稱作……”。故選A。

Students then learned science using that approach for the entire unit about three weeks. When they switched to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class.(然后,研究小組將350名學(xué)生隨機(jī)分配到傳統(tǒng)的科學(xué)教室或藝術(shù)教室。然后,學(xué)生們在整個單元中使用這種方法學(xué)習(xí)了大約三周的科學(xué)。當(dāng)他們轉(zhuǎn)換到一個新的話題時,他們也轉(zhuǎn)換到另一種類型的課堂。)”可知,研究中,學(xué)生被隨機(jī)分配到兩個類型的課堂學(xué)習(xí),在某一課堂學(xué)習(xí)一個單元后,學(xué)生轉(zhuǎn)換到另一種類型的課堂。因此可知,在研究中,每個學(xué)生都有一節(jié)以藝術(shù)為重點(diǎn)的課和一節(jié)傳統(tǒng)的科學(xué)課。故選D項(xiàng)。
    134.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段內(nèi)容“The team then randomly assigned each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one.(然后,研究小組將350名學(xué)生隨機(jī)分配到傳統(tǒng)的科學(xué)教室或藝術(shù)教室。)”,第四段內(nèi)容“The test result indicated students who started off in regular classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class.(測試結(jié)果表明,從普通班級開始學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生在進(jìn)入以藝術(shù)為重點(diǎn)的班級后表現(xiàn)得更好。)”這項(xiàng)研究是把學(xué)生分為兩組,讓他們先后上不同的課型,然后比較學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)結(jié)果。故選B項(xiàng)。
    135.主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的文章主題句“The study finds art can help students remember better what they learn in science class.(研究發(fā)現(xiàn),藝術(shù)可以幫助學(xué)生更好地記住他們在科學(xué)課上學(xué)到的東西。)”可知,文章主要介紹了一項(xiàng)有關(guān)藝術(shù)在理科教學(xué)中應(yīng)用的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),在后文詳細(xì)解釋了研究過程和結(jié)論分析。C項(xiàng)“Art Can Make Science Easier to Remember(藝術(shù)可以讓科學(xué)更容易記住)”貼合主題。故選C項(xiàng)。
