浙江省温州十校联合体2021-2022学年高二下学期期末联考英语试题（解析版）
第一节（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。
A
At school, I was in the top set for maths. My teacher recommended that I study economics and statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life filled with the arts.
In fact, I was a victim of gender stereotypes that men do science or maths and women do art or puter science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. No girls popular in my school chose to study those subjects.
Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say, “It’s great you speak foreign languages, but what else can you do ” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.
A recent survey showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector. It’s a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry, from fashion to architecture. Anybody can learn to code programs and these days it’s as important as reading and writing. I’ve realized that at university I’d achieved the wrong kind of literacy.
Not being able to code programs limits your impact on the world far more than ignorance of great literature.
Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I don’t want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background can. I’m exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skills. I’m hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potential for science and want to change the world.
1. What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotypes” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Personal learning style. B. Sex characteristics. C. Conventional sex concepts. D. Profession difference.
2. According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science
A. Improving language competence. B. Increasing job possibilities.
C. Winning popularity. D. Understanding great literature.
3. How did the author feel for her major choice
A. Satisfied. B. Active. C. Discouraged. D. Regretful.
B
Bloomberg reported on the status of Tokyo Bay, the open water swimming venue for triathletes (铁人三项运动员). Bloomberg’s report actually sums itself up quite nicely in just two words: “It stinks.”
The question of water quality first came up in 2019. During a water test prior to a paratriathlon race, E.coli was detected in more than double the amount allowed for competition by the International Triathlon Union. A local newspaper quoted one athlete as saying the bay “smelled like a toilet”.
Where the problems lie in this specific case is that there have been concerns over the pollution in Tokyo Bay for a very long time. This is due to the Tokyo metropolis having a mixed sewage (污水) system. In a mixed sewage system, drainage (排水系统) for rainwater and sewage are combined, not separate.
According to Bloomberg’s report, during times of flooding, untreated sewage system gets flushed directly into the bay in an effort to avoid flood damage. So, what happens to the untreated waste water that gets pumped directly into the bay For the most part, it simply stays in the bay. According to research by Koibuchi, due to the size and depth of the bay, approximately 60 percent of the water in the bay is from the rivers and Tokyo’s drainpipes.
In response to that water test, Tokyo put forward new efforts to clean up the pollution in the bay. These steps include dumping massive amounts of sand into the bay, putting in polyester screens to protect against E.coli, and installing new storage tanks to hold flood runoff, so it can be treated before being released into the bay. Despite these measures, the bay has been emitting an unpleasant smell for a few weeks, according to Bloomberg’s report.
4. According to the passage, E.coli ______.
A. can be a harmful substance B. comes from the body of a sea animal
C. may help clean the sea D. is a kind of household waste
5. What causes Tokyo Bay to smell unpleasant
A. Rainwater trapped in it. B. The old storage tank.
C. Untreated sewage system. D. Floodwater from the ground.
6. What can we learn from the passage
A. The sand dumped into the bay works well to reduce the smell of the bay.
B. The efforts newly made greatly prevent the bay from emitting a bad smell.
C. The measures taken lately in response to the water test are not so effective.
D. Frequent water tests help to prevent against water pollution.
7. What will possibly be discussed in the paragraph that follows
A. The bad effect of sewage. B. The further measures to be taken.
C. Different opinions about the previous measures. D. Athletes: attitude to the unpleasant smelling.
C
Falls are the leading cause of injury death and the most common cause of death in hospital among people 65 and over. But now the good news is that scientists have developed a “magic carpet”. It doesn’t fly, and it won’t take you over, sideways, and under on a ride through the Arabian night sky, but it can use tiny sensors to map people’s walking patterns - patterns that may then be analyzed to predict and even prevent falls.
British researchers say their invention could sound a warming before the fall, simply by monitoring a person’s every step, using a series of fibre optic cables (光纤维) woven into the carpet. Laid beneath a carpet, tiny electronics can bend when anyone steps on it and act as sensors sending signals to a computer, which can be analyzed to show the image of the footprint and spot gradual changes in walking behaviour or a sudden incident like a fall.
Each year, more than a third of older adults suffer a fall and with the world’s population aging every year, that number is likely to increase. The researchers believe the technology could be used to fit smart carpets in care homes or hospitals, as well as being fitted in people’s homes if necessary.
Dr. Patricia Scully, from The University of Manchester’s Photon Science Institute, believes the magic carpet could be vital not only for helping people in the immediate result of a fall, but also in identifying little changes in people’s walking habits which might not be spotted by a family member or carer.
This is really exciting research work using technologies to prevent falls and demonstrates how engineers, scientists and healthcare professionals, can work together to develop new and innovative health care technologies that make a real difference in practice.
8. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. The carpet can use sensors to give a map for walking direction.
B. The warning alarm goes off the moment the fall takes place.
C. The carpet represents a joint effort of scientists from different backgrounds.
D. Besides the carpet a family member can identify the little changes in walking habits.
9. The best title of the passage might be ______.
A. Researchers find a cure for falls
B. The magic carpet stops elderly falling over
C. A new technology can change elderly’s walking behaviour
D. Smart equipment for elderly people is on the way
10. You can most probably see this article in ______.
A a science fiction B. a news report C. a hospital leaflet D. a speech
浙江省温州新力量联盟2021-2022学年高二下学期期末联考英语试题（解析版）
第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。
A
In a small Italian town, hundreds of years ago, a small business owner owed a large sum of money to a loan-shark. The loan-shark was a very old, unattractive looking guy that just so happened to fancy the business owner’s daughter.
He decided to offer the businessman a deal that would completely wipe out the debt he owed him. However, the trap was that he would only wipe out the debt if he could marry the businessman’s daughter, heedless to say, this proposal was met with a look of disgust.
The loan-shark said that he would place two pebbles into a bag, one white and one black. The daughter would then have to reach into the bag and pick out a pebble. If it was black, the debt would be wiped, but the loan-shark would then marry her. If it was white, the debt would also be wiped, but the daughter wouldn’t have to many the loan-shark.
Standing on a pebble-strewn path in the businessman’s garden, the loan-shark bent over and picked up two pebbles. While he was picking them up, the daughter noticed that he’d picked up two black pebbles and placed them both into the bag. He then asked the daughter to reach into the bag and pick one.
She drew out a pebble from the bag, and before checking, it ‘accidentally’ dropped into the midst of the other pebbles. She said to the loan-shark, “Oh，how clumsy (笨拙的）of me. Never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked.” The pebble left in the bag is obviously black, and not wanting to be exposed, the loan-shark had to play along as if the pebble the daughter dropped was white, and clear her father’s debt.
1. What is the businessman and his daughter’s attitude towards the proposal
A. Supportive B. Disapproved C. Neutral D. Skeptical
2. Why did the pebble drop
A Because the daughter pretended it
B. Because the pebble was too slip to hold.
C. Because the daughter was too clumsy to hold it.
D. Because the businessman was angry and rejected the game.
3. What did the daughter choose to do at last
A. She refused to pick a pebble from the bag.
B. She took both pebbles out of the bag and expose the cheat.
C. She chose not to expose the loan-shark while winning the bet with a trick.
D. She picked the black pebble from the bag and decided to sacrifice herself.
B
Those with a sweet tooth might not need to feel so guilty about admitting it. People who eat candy and chocolate tend to have smaller waists. Weigh less and have a lower body mass index (BMI) than those who don’t indulge in these treats, a new study says.
In addition, candy and chocolate consumers had a 14 percent lower risk of elevated blood pressure and a 15 percent decreased risk of having metabolic syndrome—a collection of symptoms that put people at risk for heart disease and stroke. However, the results do not suggest that eating candy helps you lose pounds, the researchers say. Rather, it may be that candy consumers exercise more to make up for the additional calories they’re taking in. The results suggest these foods are not associated with overweight or disease when consumed in moderation, said study researcher Carol O’Neil, of Louisiana State University Agricultural Center. Indeed, participants in the study did not eat very much candy, only about 1.3 ounces a day on average.
Other researchers point out that the survey used to assess diet in the study asked participants to remember what they ate the previous day, known as a 24-hour recall. It’s possible that the subjects forgot everything they consumed, or simply omitted that extra candy bar. “The 24-hour recall only describes what people think they eat or what they would like to ideally eat,” said Katherine Tallmadge, a registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.
In the end, the findings confirm what nutritionists already knew—eating a small amount of candy won't hurt you. “It’s not that candy doesn’t contribute to problems,” Tallmadge said. It’s that people in the study did not eat enough of it to contribute to problems, she said. “The thing to remember is, candy alone does not cause weight.” said Heather Mangieri, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. Taking in more calories than we expend is really what causes weight gain. That’s why whenever reducing weight is referred to, it is how many calories not sweets that we should lay special attention on. And obviously candy is not the only food that may contain excessive calories.
4. Which is not the study result of sweet tooth
A. Smaller waist B. lower BIM
C. lower calorie intake D. lower risk of certain diseases
5. How does the author convince the reader in Para.2
A. By classifying facts and ideas
B. By listing data and analyzing
C. By listing examples and comparing
D. By giving definition.and explaining
6. What cannot we learn about the study
A. The finding of the study is not new to the researchers.
B. Candy-eaters may be slimmer because of consciously more exercise.
C. Sweets not necessarily lead to health problems while eaten moderately.
D. All subjects in research can remember what they have consumed the day before.
7. What may be talked about in the next paragraphs
A. Several advice to note when losing weight
B. Why caloric matters more in weight losing
C. How a sweet tooth gains weight from sweets
D. Other types of food of possible high calories
C
Across all four walls of a vast hall, Oscar Claude Monet’s Three Pots of Tulips begin to swing. They bloom gently at firsts then more violently, as the music gradually increases. Visitors to “Immersive (沉浸式的）Monet”, now sit or stand in socially distant circles on the floor of a former music hall in San Francisco, their bodies bathed in the glow of these animated laser projections (投影).
On America’s other coast, visitors will be amazed more when a new exhibition space covering 50,000 square feet opens on April 22nd. At Superblue Miami they will be able to touch the blossoms winding across a huge wall, and doing so makes the artwork move and change. “A Whole Year per Year,”--a digitally projected work by teamLab, a Japanese art group, is a lightening cycle of the seasons in which visitors’ hands cause plants to bloom and fade, petals (花瓣) scattering in a balletic display. No two visits are ever the same.
“Immersive art” experiences are on the rise, not just in America but across the world. Tens of thousands of people have walked completely dry through a “Rain Room” of streaming water in Shanghai, Melbourne and Shaijah. Others have visited a mirrored “Infinity room” in New York. More and more, the experience of contemporary art is just that: a novel experience.
These displays share a common trait：an urge by artists to create--and audiences to enjoy--a space in which visitors participate and play. “It’s a bit like going into the museum and being in the picture,” says Florian Ortkrass, co-founder of Random International, an art organization which has followed its amazing work ”Rain Room” with other exhibits that explore the relationship between human bodies’ and technology. “If this kind of world is done well, it engages people emotionally, it lifts them out of their everyday routines, adds Hannes Koch, Random International’s other co-founder.
8. What can we learn about “immersive art” described in the passage
A. It can urge artists to create and audiences to enjoy.
B. There is nothing to do with technology in Immersive Art.
C. This form of art need no interaction between the exhibit and the audience.
D. Every visitor can enjoy the same wonderful experience in “A Whole Year per Year”.
9. Which of following word can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4
A. trade B. characteristic C. interest D. benefit
10 What does Hannes Koch’s words mean
A. The development of immersive art makes people work harder for life.
B. The development of immersive art can strengthen our physical power.
C. The development of immersive art can free us from the dull life.
D. The development of immersive art can promote the relationship between body and technology

A
Between Thailand and Vietnam-tourists tend to ignore that there is an entire country to be discovered beyond the decaying temples. If you’ve never been to Cambodia before, it can be overwhelming to take it all in at once. We’ve put together a guide for you to make things easier.
Arrival at Cambodia
Most visitors arrive in Cambodia via Siem Reap International Airport, which is three miles from Angkor Wat and roughly five miles from the city of Siem Reap. You can take minibuses, buses, or domestic flights from Siem Reap to other country regions, such as Phnom Penh, Battambang, Kampot, and Sihanoukville.
To travel to Cambodia, tourists require a visa. Check the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism website for the latest information on policies before making travel arrangements.
Things to do in Cambodia
If you’re thinking about a holiday to Cambodia, we have two recommendations for you:
Siem Reap
Siem Reap, a tiny village about five kilometres south of Angkor Wat, has grown into the fastest-growing settlement in Cambodia. When it comes to tourist attractions, Siem Reap is all about delicious cuisine, traditional cottages, and a number of fun activities that won’t ruin your holiday.
Tonle Sap
Tonle Sap, Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake, grows from 1,000 square miles to 6,200 square miles during the rainy season, from June to October. Over 300 species of freshwater fish breed in the flooded forests, and the lake supplies half of Cambodia’s entire fish catch. A short drive north of Siem Reap, Tonle Sap is known for its floating villages, where entire populations depend on the lake for their survival.
Where to stay
As Cambodia’s most popular gateway city for tourists, Siem Reap has a wide variety of accommodation options, from hostels to five-star hotels. Booking in advance is especially important if you plan to travel during the peak season of December and February.
Best time to visit
Visit Cambodia in the dry season, which lasts from the end of November to the beginning of April. The Angkor temples are far more pleasant to visit during the dry season when the weather is cooler.
1. Which of the following item is a must for foreigners before visiting Cambodia
A. A Visa B. An Airline ticket C. A travel permit D. A travel brochure
2. What is special about Tonle Sap

“We didn’t intend to be farmers,” Bob Paton says. In their 50s, he and his wife, Ann, envisioned “one more move”. They lived in Newcastle upon Tyne and had a checklist for their dream house: “Northumberland, stone-built, a bit of character and a reasonable garden,” Bob says.
The place they found ticked every box but one. Instead of a reasonable garden, it had six acres. As they walked the grounds, Bob turned to Ann and decided they could turn this into a small farm. Eleven days before his 60th birthday, he retired as a managing director with the IT company Accenture. Ann, 63, had already sold her grocery. Together they began to farm.
The next two years were a struggle. The four fields were badly fenced and waterlogged. The soil was poor. Growing vegetables was not a common thing to do in this cold, wet and windy area of Northumberland. They dug up thousands of stones, which was backbreaking, but they were never going to give up. As the son of a coal miner, Bob grew up in Ashington, 15 miles north of Newcastle and helped his father on his allotment (小块菜园). “Sunday lunches in mining communities were big things. My dad used to dig up potatoes. They melted in your mouth — the freshness! The memory stayed with me. But I think it was the sense of trying to achieve something.” Bob recalled.
Now one field is home to a two-acre orchard. Two others house polytunnels, herbs and 50 varieties of vegetable. The fourth belongs to their Tamworth pigs. As Hexhamshire Organics, they sell 100 organic vegetable boxes a week, and supply Northumberland’s only Michelin-starred restaurant. “I used to say I retired, but now I say I had a career change,” Bob says. They have never worked so hard. “It’s usually the light that stops us,” Ann mentions. She brings a career in catering and retail to bear on the business, while Bob is the planner. Plan tomorrow today. Plan next week this week. Plan next month this month. His spreadsheet logs “every single vegetable”, from sowing to harvest, and calculates output to the square foot.
4. What does the underlined sentence in para.2 probably mean
A. Only one box was not ticked yet.
B. All about the place is not satisfying.
C. Bob fell in love with the place at first sight.
D. It’s impossible to turn the place into a reasonable garden.
5. What probably made Bob work hard on the farm despite struggles
A. The joy of harvest B. The freshness of potatoes
C. The support of his wife D. The retirement from work
6. Which of the following can best describe Bob Paton
A. Helpful and careful B. Ambitious and humorous
C. Determined and diligent D. Hard working and generous
7. In which section of a magazine can you find the text
A Agriculture B. Career C. Education D. Lifestyle
C
In the children’s story Alice in Wonderland, a character known simply as the Dormouse (睡鼠) keeps napping during the Mad Hatter’s tea party, waking occasionally to utter a nonsensical remark. This species, the largest at six inched long, can sleep for more than 11 months of the year; that makes it the longest known hibernator (冬眠动物) on Earth.
However dormice prefer to sleep in the holes of old trees and centuries of timber harvesting (森林伐木) has highly endangered this kind of animals which play an important role in ecological balance.
So Neris Regional Park’s dormouse nest box and conservation program began in 2005 as part of a sustainable forestry certification with the Forest Stewardship Council, based in Bonn, Germany. So far, park staff has installed 250 nest boxes throughout the park’s thick, old-growth oak forests. A dormouse nest box resembles a standard birdhouse spun around backward and tied to a tree trunk. There’s enough space between the trunk and the entrance hole for dormice to squeeze in and out of their artificial nest, but so little that it’s difficult for predators such as owls to attack. Best of all, nest boxes bring the otherwise mysterious creatures within reach for scientists.
Dormice usually spend around seven months out of the year sleeping in underground holes and venture (冒险) from their holes for a few hours each night to eat. This means opportunities to observe the animals are basically nonexistent. But by placing cameras in nest boxes or just peeking inside, researchers can check in on the animals whenever they want.
In addition to monitoring nest boxes, scientists are seeking out and protecting individual tees that can provide habitat for dormice, which will actually benefit a broad range of other species.
8. What made dormice in danger of extinction
A. The popularity of the fairy tale B. Outdoor activities of human beings
C. The loss of their natural habitat D. Their inability to adapt to the surroundings
9. What has Neris Regional Park done to protect dormice
A. Drive away owls B. Plant more oak trees
C. Put up nest boxes D. Set up an organization
10. Why is a dormouse nest box designed like a birdhouse spun around backward the tree trunk
A. To make it easy for scientists to observe them.
B. To protect dormice from the attack of predators.
C. To beautify the dormice nest box in a unique way.
D. To make dormice get in and out of the nest more conveniently.
11. What can we learn about dormice in the last two paragraphs
A. Dormice seldom get out of the nest for food during daytime.
B. Dormice can be easily spotted by the scientists in the forest.
C. Individual trees have been protected as the habitat for dormice.
D. Cameras put in the nest boxes may influence the life of dormice.
D
Navigation usually refers to the act of directing a ship or aircraft (飞行器) from one place to another, or the science of finding a way from one place to another. However, growing up in a city, according to a vast global survey, has a lifelong negative impact on a person’s ability to navigate. When looking for a half-remembered restaurant in a poorly-lit side street, it seems Country Mouse would be a more useful companion.
In the new study, posted to the online repository bioRxiv, scientists led by Antoine Coutrot at Nantes University in France and Hugo Spiers at University College London describe how they used a dataset gathered from 4m players of a computer game called “ Sea Hero Quest ” , which tests way-finding skills by asking players to memorise a map showing the location of checkpoints and then measuring how well players can steer a boat to find them, guided only by their mental map.
From that database, Dr Spiers and his colleagues found that the strongest indicator of a high score was a player’s age — older people per formed relatively poorly. But the benefit of rural living was strong enough to offset (抵消) some of that. Data from American players showed that a 70-year-old who grew up in the countryside had the navigational abilities of an average 60-year-old across the dataset.
The gap between the navigation skills of rural and city people was largest in America ( about six times wider than for Romania ), and the researchers think they know why. They found that countries dominated by simple layouts grid-based (网格式街道布局)cities (most common in America and Argentina)dragged down navigation skills more than growing up in a city based on more complicated networks of streets ,such as Prague.
Although cities may appear more elaborate (设计详细的), they also feature more clues to help residents find their way, such as numbered streets.
12. What’s the author’s purpose of writing Para.1
A. To describe what navigation is.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To arouse the interest of the readers.
D. To preset a contrast between the city and the countryside.
13. What does the computer game “ Sea Hero Quest ” ask players to do
A. To memorise all the details of a map.
B. To measure how far they can steer a boat.
C. To find out the checkpoints by a mental map.
D. To steer a boat in the sea with one’s physical map.
14. What does the author intend to suggest in para.4
A. City people in Romania have good navigation ability
B. More Americans live in the city than in the countryside.
C. Cities in America are filled with complex networks of streets.
D. People in Prague are likely to possess better navigational ability than a New Yorker.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Factors that influence navigational ability.
B. Ways that people get better navigation skills.
C. City experience weakens navigational ability.
D. Growing up in the countryside promotes navigational ability.

The Great Wall in China is one of the greatest wonders of the world and also a UNESCO World Heritage site. Different sections of the Great Wall have distinctive landscapes, and in this flower-blooming season, which one would you prefer to take a tour of
Badaling Great Wall
The Badaling Great Wall is located in the northwest suburb of Beijing. It extends in all directions and therefore got its name as Badaling. Due to the strategic importance of Badaling, it was the place where the military fought in the past.
Mutianyu Great Wall
The Mutianyu Great Wall, 70 kilometers from urban Beijing, is known as the best part of the Great Wall. With a unique architectural style, it expresses the essence of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty(1368-1644). The ancient architecture and the beauty of nature is blended into one harmonious whole, giving rise to Mutianyu’s reputation as having the most unique beauty anywhere along the ten-thousand-mile-long Great Wall.
Simatai Great Wall
For anyone intent on experiencing a section of the Great Wall that keeps a more antiquated air, the Great Wall at Simatai remains one of the best options. It is also the only section of the Great Wall that provides a night tour for tourists. It is said that since the Ming Dynasty, there has been a tradition that people holding palace lanterns visit this section.
Jiankou Great Wall
The Jiankou section is one of the most dangerous parts and mountain hikers usually call it “the wild Great Wall”. With a total length of 7,952 meters, the Jiankou Great Wall was built during the Ming Dynasty and was neglected, becoming damaged over time. It is much preferred by photographers due to its primitive appearance.

I had not hugged a friend or a family member for more than two years until recently when my sister flew in for a brief visit. For safety, we met outside. Despite the wintry weather, her hug warmed me from the inside out. It’s strange, but only now do I truly realize how much I’ve missed embracing loved ones.
I grew up through war in my hometown of Sarajevo, Bosnia, and every moment was full of danger. On one peaceful morning, I had begged my mom to let me go outside after spending weeks indoors. She finally agreed. I was outside for only 10 minutes when I was caught in an explosion. I ran to my neighbor’s house for safety and hung my arms around her neck just as my legs collapsed underneath me.
Thankfully, I made a full physical recovery, but the emotional scars never left me. Years later there was another explosion near my house. I was safely inside, but my father had left to buy a loaf of bread. He had only just missed the explosion. When he came back inside, I gave him the biggest hug imaginable. I was caked in tears as I held him tight.
That same night my parents managed to arrange my escape from our war-torn city. I was 16 and came to America on my own. A generous host family took me in. They had a large dog called Oscar. Over the next several months, I secretly struggled with feeling homesick and worried about my family back home. Despite managing quite well at school, I couldn’t express my feelings. The only way I shared how I felt was by giving Oscar a big hug.
It is yet another sad aspect of our pandemic lives that hugging a stranger is the last thing on our minds. For many of us, even hugging a relative or a friend comes with stress and anxiety over risks and precautions. As I look back on my past, I count myself truly lucky to have been held, shielded and encouraged at some of the most key moments of my life by the power of a hug.
4. What is the passage mainly about
A. Experience of war. B. Love for family.
C. Power of embracing. D. Impact of pandemic.
5. How did the author feel when she hugged her father
A. Frightened. B. Relieved. C. Embarrassed. D. Astonished.
6. What can we learn about the author from the passage
A. She had her arms hurt in an explosion.
B. She recovered quickly from the wounds of the war.
C. She couldn’t catch up with her classmates at school.
D. She missed her family very much while in America.
7. What does the underlined word “shielded” mean in Paragraph 5
A. Covered. B. Persuaded. C. Protected. D. Understood.
C
Tokyo — Manuscript Writing Cafe only allows writers on a deadline, and won’t let them leave until finished.
“The Manuscript Writing Cafe only allows in people who have a writing deadline to face!” owner Takuya Kawai tweeted. “It’s in order to maintain a level of focus and tense atmosphere at the Cafe! Thanks for your understanding.”
The Cafe charges customers by time used (it operates at a rate of 150 yen or $1.32 per 30 minutes), and is equipped with USB ports, computer stands, and free Wi-Fi. Struggling writers can also bring their own food and drinks since coffee and water are the only things available, but it’s pretty strict when it comes to the actual writing. Although the Manuscript Writing Cafe actually accepts a wide range of writers, from translators and copywriters to novelists and proofreaders, the rules are the same for everyone.
When entering the Cafe, customers must write down how many words they plan to write and by what time they plan to finish. Every hour, the staff will check on their progress and apply a predetermined pressure level to help move things along. For example, opting for the “S” course will have the staff more aggressively pushing you to get the work done, while the “M” course involves a more mild approach. However, the craziest rule of the Cafe is that writers are not allowed to end their session until reaching their declared goal or until the place closes down for the day. It’s not clear how the Café enforces this rule, but it is meant to keep customers from declaring ambitious targets they won’t be able to meet.
While some found it amazing, others said it was too much pressure. “If it were me, I would no longer be able to leave the store and would end up having to live there,” one person commented.
8. Which word can best describe the Cafe
A. Relaxing. B. Unique. C. Academic. D. Conventional.
9. Who may be the target customer of the Cafe
A. Jenny, whose job is to edit advertising materials.
B. Tom, who is interested in reading some proofs of documents.
C. Peter, who translates messages from one language to another orally.
D. Mary, who is accustomed to writing her novels without any pressure.
10. Why does the author mention the “S” and the “M” courses
A. To explain a rule. B. To present a fact.
C. To make a comparison. D. To clarify a concept.
11. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. Customers hold negative attitudes towards the Cafe.
B. Writers can leave the Cafe only when they get the work finished.
C. Customers must write down how many words they plan to write.
D. The Cafe staff may discourage the customers from setting unachievable goals.

Humans across the planet were once hunter-gatherers, with insects widely featuring on the menu. Studies have shown that early humans used tools made of bone to dig into termite mounds(白蚁丘).
Later, it quickly became apparent that, when it came to the needs of a growing human population, keeping animals on farms was far more beneficial than catching and eating insects. Farm animals delivered high yields of meat and milk products; provided skins, wool and fur for clothing; and were useful as a means of transport. They were also far more reliable in comparison to the unpredictability and seasonality of insects—particularly in colder countries, such as the UK, where many species hibernate(冬眠)or die in winter. Insects were soon degraded as pests that threatened food production, rather than being considered a source of food themselves.
Our current eating habits are harming the planet. Food production is responsible for almost 60 percent of global biodiversity loss, and contributes to overfishing, climate change and water shortages. Insects offer a promising alternative to a low-ecological-footprint diet: They are genetically very different from humans, so viruses are unlikely to make the jump; they produce only small amounts of greenhouse gas, compared to livestock; they can be fed on organic waste, such as vegetable peelings; and they require only tiny quantities of water. We simply need to accept that eating them is OK.
But a dislike of eating bugs is a largely western phenomenon. Two billion people across South America, Asia and Africa currently eat insects regularly and generally always have done that. Their choice to consume something with six legs rather than four has nothing to do with a lack of alternative food options or income—many are even considered delicious food. Ants, for example, are highly sought after in many parts of the world, and dozens of grasshopper species are consumed across the globe.
While there isn’t enough science yet to conclude the environmental impact of large-scale insect consumption, there is certainly research to demonstrate the huge environmental benefit that eating insects has in comparison to our over consumption of meat and dairy.
12. Which is NOT the advantage of keeping animals on farms
A. Changing with the seasons. B. Serving as means of transport.
C. Providing materials for clothes. D. Giving high output of meat and dairy.
13. What can we learn from the passage
A. Insects are more reliable than farm animals.
B. Humans are less likely to get virus infection by eating insects.
C. People currently eat insects because of a lack of alternative food options or income.
D. It has been concluded that insect consumption has a great effect on environment.
14. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Bad Effects on the Planet B. A Dislike of Eating Insects
C. Putting Insects on the Menu D. Benefits from Keeping Animals
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards eating insects
A. Disapproving. B. Supportive. C. Ambiguous. D. Sympathetic.

第一节（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
There’re lots of articles in which writers like me leave social media and report on how their lives have transformed. I swore I wouldn’t add to it. But here I am, writing about it. And I’m doing so because it didn’t change my life in quite the way that I expected or many of these essays promised it would.
I genuinely enjoyed Twitter. The problem was that I loved it a little too much. I’d find myself checking it when I should be working, running late to my daughters’ school events because I tried to fit in a quick glance or staying up far too late surfing vast oceans of information, tired and barely interested but unable to resist it.
In November, my friends encouraged me to drop my Twitter habit, at least for a little while. My life was overfull, and this was something I could cut out. I followed, though hesitantly and with a little bit of unwillingness, because I trust my friends and their wisdom.
I went from being on it nearly every day to being off it for two months now. Being offline didn’t make my life that joyful. But there is one way that leaving Twitter has benefited my life and my mind. The times when I checked Twitter were often the transition points in my day: when I waited in line or to pick up my kids from school. Freeing up those seemingly inconsequential moments has been transformative. These moments are nothing I really considered before and I even didn’t notice their departure when I began going online. Leaving them unfilled has changed how I walk through time. I may wave to a neighbor; I may feel gratitude or delight. I may notice that I feel tired or lonely. But this, too, is part of the gifts of these small moments.
Our days, which are so full of work and thinking, of disappointments and confusion, must have moments when nothing much is happening, moments when we get no input, no videos, no opinions.
21. What do we know about the author
A. The author’s life was disturbed by the overuse of Twitter.
B. The author followed the friends’ advice without hestitation.
C. The author shared the same idea with other writers about Twitter.
D. The author’s interest in the information online drove him to check Twitter.
22. What does the underlined word “ inconsequential ” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Unforgettable. B. Unimportant. C. Tough. D. Boring.
23. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To persuade readers to block Twitter.
B. To show the influence of social media.
C. To share an unexpected benefit of staying offline.
D. To raise doubts about the promised effects of being offline.
24. What might be the best title for the text
A. Free up Small Moments B. No Twitter, No Trouble
C. Take a Moment to Reflect D. Small Changes, Big Differences
B
The Oxford English Dictionary defines “ awe ” as “ a feeling of reverential (虔诚的) respect mixed with fear or wonder ” . Sometimes taking a moment to stop and appreciate something like the Grand Canyon or a clear, starry night can make you feel like a tiny part of a vast universe swirling around. A research found that feeling of being small might actually make you a kinder, more generous person.
The research was done by teams from the University of California Berkeley and UC Irvine. “ Our investigation indicates that awe, though often momentary and hard to describe, serves a vital social function, ” said Paul Piff in a statement.
The researchers exposed participants to images of nature. They included video clips from the BBC series Planet Earth. Then Piff and his team asked questions. The researchers measured moral behavior, especially generosity. Those who reported feeling a sense of awe or recalled a time when they felt awe displayed more moral behavior as opposed to someone who felt pride.
Actually, it isn’t only the natural wonders that are awe-inspiring. After all, awe is defined partly by the fear one feels in the face of something larger than themselves. In fact, the same generous behavior was detected in people who were shown scenes of natural disasters, according to Hoffman. Whether it was watching scenes of the Amazonian rainforest or a violent volcanic eruption, participants were more willing to share resources with each other afterwards.
Recent studies suggest that experiencing awe may also boost your immune system. And it could make you feel more creative. It can even make you feel that you have more time to get things done.
25. What do the researchers find in the investigation
A. Awe often lasts for a long time.
B. Awe often makes people less confident.
C. Experiencing awe inspires moral behavior.
D. Moral behavior can be easily detected in generous people.
26. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage
A. People experience fear in the face of natural wonders.
B. People with pride tend to display more moral behavior.
C. Scenes of natural disasters can help promote generosity.
D. Natural wonders brings a stronger sense of awe than natural disasters.
27. Where is the text most probably from
A. A short story. B. A book review.
C. A geography book. D. A science magazine.
C
If job seekers knew companies were using artificial intelligence in hiring, would it stop them from applying for the job The answer, according to a recent study, is yes — sometimes.
Companies dealing with recent labor shortages are increasingly turning to AI as a way to speed up the hiring process. The new research focuses on when using AI in hiring could be counterproductive (产生相反效果). For instance, in one part of the study participants were shown fictional job postings and then asked if they intended to apply for the position. The researchers found that if the job posting said AI was used to both screen applicants and conduct interviews, participants’ intention to apply for the position was 2.77 on a six-point scale on average. If AI was used only for the screening process, participants’ intention to apply averaged 3.73.
In another experiment, the researchers also found that participants saw advantages as well as disadvantages in the use of AI in hiring. When AI was used to both screen applicants and conduct interviews, participants expected the hiring process to be more consistent in its judgments than when Al was less involved, ranking the process at an average of 3.66 for consistency on a five-point scale. When AI was just used to screen applicants but not interview them, participants ranked the process at 3.48 for consistency. When AI was used in neither of them, participants ranked the process at 3.16 for consistency. On the other hand, when the participants were told the hiring would be fully automated (机械化), they tended to believe that it will lead to a lack of personal interaction during interviews. Overall, the study results suggest that this concern tends to outweigh the appreciation of AI’s fairness at the interviewing stage where they expect opportunities to sell themselves and to learn more about the company.
“ A hybrid approach where companies use AI in some stages of hiring but not others may be a way to get the best of both worlds, ” says Jenny Wesche, a co-author of the study. “ It depends on the situation where it’s used. ”
28. What is the purpose of the question raised in paragraph 1
A. To present a new trend. B. To express concern.
C. To make an assumption. D. To introduce a research.
29. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The use of AI in interviews may discourage some job applicants.
B. A hybrid approach is being used in most companies to hire employees.
C. The more automated the hiring is, the less consistent the judgements are.
D. The participants place fairness above personal interaction during interviews.
30. What is Jenny Wesche’s attitude towards the use of AI in the hiring process
A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.

Rather, it may be that candy consumers exercise more to make up for the additional calories they’re taking in. The results suggest these foods are not associated with overweight or disease when consumed in moderation, said study researcher Carol O’Neil, of Louisiana State University Agricultural Center.(此外，吃糖果和巧克力的人患高血压的风险降低了14%，患代谢综合征的风险降低了15%一这些症状都使人们有患心脏病和中风的风险。然而，研究人员说，研究结果并不表明吃糖果有助于减肥。相反，这可能是因为吃糖果的人锻炼得更多，以弥补他们摄入的额外卡路里。路易斯安那州立大学农业中心的研究人员卡罗尔·奥尼尔说，研究结果表明，如果适量食用这些食物，它们与超重或疾病无关。)”可推断，第二段主要通过列举数据进行分析来说服读者。故选B。

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“And obviously candy is not the only food that may contain excessive calories.(很明显，糖果并不是唯一含有过量卡路里的食物。)”可推断，文章接下来极有可能介绍其他含有过量卡路里的食物。故选D。

【5题详解】
推理判断题。第三段的“They dug up thousands of stones, which was backbreaking, but they were never going to give up. As the son of a coal miner, Bob grew up in Ashington, 15 miles north of Newcastle and helped his father on his allotment (小块菜园). ‘Sunday lunches in mining communities were big things. My dad used to dig up potatoes. They melted in your mouth — the freshness! The memory stayed with me. But I think it was the sense of trying to achieve something.’ Bob recalled.”（他们挖出了数千块石头，这活儿十分累人，但他们不放弃。作为一名煤矿工人的儿子，鲍勃在纽卡斯尔以北15英里的阿辛顿长大，帮助父亲打理小菜园。“采矿社区礼拜天的午餐是一件大事。我爸爸过去常常挖土豆。土豆在你嘴里融化——新鲜！记忆留在我的脑海中。但我认为这是一种努力有所成就的感觉。”鲍勃回忆道。）中鲍勃提到收获土豆后尝到土豆的美味，以及认为这是努力有所成就的感觉，由此可知，尽管在这个农场工作遇到了难题，但鲍勃却仍旧努力工作，可能是因为怀有收获的喜悦。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“They dug up thousands of stones, which was backbreaking, but they were never going to give up.”（他们挖出了数千块石头，这活儿十分累人，但他们不放弃。）鲍勃面对如此劳累的工作却永不放弃，可以看出他的坚定，即C项的“Determined”；根据最后一段的第六句“They have never worked so hard.”（他们从没有这么努力工作过。）可知，鲍勃现在十分努力，辛勤工作，即C项的“diligent”。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。结合全文，尤其是最后一段的“She brings a career in catering and retail to bear on the business, while Bob is the planner. Plan tomorrow today. Plan next week this week. Plan next month this month. His spreadsheet logs ‘every single vegetable’, from sowing to harvest, and calculates output to the square foot.”（她将餐饮和零售业作为自己的职业，而鲍勃则是规划师。今天计划明天。本周计划下周。本月计划下个月。他的电子表格记录了“每一种蔬菜”，从播种到收获，并计算出每平方英尺的产量。）可知，文章讲的是鲍勃·佩顿与妻子一起种植并销售蔬果的退休生活，由此推知，从杂志的生活方式版块能够找到这篇文章。故选D项。
