2022届浙江省太湖联盟高三4月二模考试英语试题（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。
A
On a bitter cold Sunday morning just outside New York City, a group of women — all moms, many strangers to one another — gathered for their very first group scream.
Jessica Kline, the publisher of Macaroni KID Clifton-Montclair, organized the mom screaming event in her community. Two years of a pandemic, burdened with the stresses of childcare and school disruptions (中断), have left many parents drained. A new CBS News poll finds nearly half of parents report feeling exhausted or frustrated.
Kline told correspondent Meg Oliver that over the last two years, she’s often felt overwhelmed and isolated. When the pandemic started, she had three children under the age of six at home. “My house felt narrow；I felt like the walls were caving in on me,” she said. “And I just felt like there was no place to go.”
As the women gathered and screamed on this day in Verona Park, in Verona, N.J, caved emotions poured out. They got a great sense of relief. “I love my kids dearly, but it is nice to just be able to go and be in a community of moms.” One woman laughed.
Psychologist Lisa Damour, a CBS News contributor, said these screaming events can be a healthy way to express and release emotion. “It offers relief. It’s important to talk about the uglier sides of parenthood, to make parents feel less alone and ashamed.”
Kline hopes this is just the beginning of mom gatherings in her community. She said, “I hope that moms walked away with a sense of self-care, even if it’s just for a little bit, and a positive memory that they can bring with them after this entire chaos.”
21. Why did the moms join in the screaming event
A. To, exchange their parenting skills. B. To keep themselves from loneliness.
C. To seek help from a psychologist. D. To let out their negative emotions.
22 Which may be a quote from the screaming moms
A. “I feel so guilty for being a full time mother.”
B. “Keeping my kids entertained throughout the day is fun.”
C. “I just work, and my daughter — I have no time for me.”
D. “I don’t want to be away from my kids even for a little while!”
23. What can be inferred about the screaming event
A. It greatly strengthened the mom-kid bond.
B. More such events will be organized nationwide.
C. The parenting skills of working moms are poor.
D. Moms felt good and grateful for this opportunity.

Every morning at five o’clock, composer (作曲家) Walter Werzowa would sit down at his computer waiting for a particular daily e-mail. It came from a team that had been working all night to draft Beethoven’s unfinished 10th Symphony. The e-mail contained hundreds of versions, and Werzowa listened to them all, looking for the perfect tune—a sound that was unmistakably Beethoven. But the phrases he was listening to weren’t composed by Beethoven. They were created by artificial intelligence.
When Ludwig van Beethoven died in 1827, he left behind some musical drafts and notes. There was barely enough to make out a phrase, let alone a whole symphony. But that didn’t stop people from trying.
Werzowa and a group of music experts and computer scientists teamed up to use machine learning to create the symphony. Ahmed Elgammal led the AI side of the team. The team’s first task was to teach the AI to think like Beethoven. To do that, they gave it Beethoven’s complete works, his drafts and notes. They taught it Beethoven’s process—like how he went from four notes to his entire Fifth Symphony. Then they taught it to compose a bridge between two sections. With all that knowledge, the AI came as close to thinking like Beethoven as possible. But it still wasn’t enough. The AI doesn’t really produce something that can continue for a long time and be consistent. So the team had to put the selected pieces together to build a symphony.
Matthew Guzdial researches creativity (创造力) and machine learning at the University of Alberta. He didn’t work on the Beethoven project, but he says, “Modern AI, modern machine learning, is all about just copying small local patterns. And it’s up to a human to then take what the AI outputs and find the genius (天资). The genius wasn’t in the AI. The genius was in the human who was doing the selection.”
24. How did Walter Werzowa contribute to the Beethoven project
A. He trained the AI to think like a human.
B. He replied to daily e-mails every morning.
C. He selected the best tune created by the AI.
D. He drafted Beethoven’s unfinished symphony.
25. What was the major challenge the team met
A. The AI was far from thinking like Beethoven.
B. It was hard to put pieces together to build a symphony.
C. The AI couldn’t create a long and consistent piece of music.
D. There were not enough complete works for machine learning.
26. Which of the following would Matthew Guzdial most probably agree with
A. Al is likely to be a barrier to creativity.
B. The potential of AI is being brought out.
C. The value of AI shouldn’t be overlooked.
D. AI can’t totally replace the role of humans.
C
On June 7, 1195, a fiery spinning ball emerged from a dark cloud in the sunny sky close to the London city. An account of this extraordinary moment survives in a chronicle (编年史) between about 1180 and 1199 by Gervase. It would appear that this is the first credible record of ball lightning in England, and much more convincing than the earliest European description, which was believed to be from the 17th century.
Historians discovered the account of what appears to be ball lightning while exploring Gervase’s records of natural events in his chronicle, a treasure of historical details giving insights into medieval culture. They dug through hundreds of pages in Latin and came across this sighting. Gervase’s records of natural events appear within the historical narrative, often with no opening statement, and the account of ball lightning is sandwiched between the events of the changing of kings at that time.
No attempt is made to explain the “marvellous sign” in the sky seen near London. Readers are left to draw their own conclusions. But Gervase appears to have been a sharp-eyed observer and reporter of celestial (天空的) activity. His fanciful description of ball lightning is remarkably similar to modern reports.
For a long time, ball lightning was regarded with skepticism. Although it is now generally accepted as a genuine phenomenon with thousands of reported sightings, there is still no accepted scientific explanation of its origin. Understanding the phenomenon has been blocked by an inability to reproduce the effect convincingly in the lab and partly because of the variations in eyewitness reports. Whatever the case, centuries later, Gervase’s record makes stimulating reading for modern scientists as well as historians.
27. What’s special about the account of ball lightning by Gervase
A. It’s the most confusing version. B. It’s written in different languages.
C. It’s the earliest acknowledged record. D. It’s the only copy from the 17th Century.
28. Historians spotted Gervase’s account of ball lightning ______.
A. with ease B. as planned
C. at the start D. by accident
29. It’s difficult to explain the origin of ball lightning mainly because of ______
A. no qualified scientists B. no accurate reproductions
C. few eyewitness reports D. little support from historians
30. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Scientists Search for Explanations for Ball Lightning
B. Gervase Was Found as The Eyewitness of Ball Lightning
C. Account of First Ball Lightning Sighting Was Uncovered
D. Historians Gain a Breakthrough in a Natural Phenomenon

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
Tiny homes have been popular as home prices have climbed to new heights and people have looked for creative ways to downsize. We’ve seen many design concepts, including storage units and buses, but Jim Dotzenrod and his daughter Danielle recently came up with a unique one. The pair worked together on the family project to transform a 1973 train caboose into the sleeper car.
The CR Station Train Caboose, as it’s known on Airbnb, which has become somewhat of its own tourist destination in the small town that houses it, is available to rent for $124 a night, and has an excellent rating of 4.86 out of 5 from more than 300 guests on the booking website.
According to Insider, the project began when Jim saw a bunch of train cabooses along the side of the road during a drive out of town. He said he wondered if he could change one of them into a place where people could live or stay. So, he bought the 52,000-pound caboose for $8,000. Getting the caboose to its final home took some creative thinking and some heavy-duty equipment.
Danielle said the work was challenging, especially since she and her dad both have day jobs. But their schedules didn’t stop them from finishing the project. “My dad can do anything he sets his mind to — like, absolutely anything — but my dad is so low maintenance himself,” Danielle told the website. “So when we built this together it was a good combination because he could build whatever and have me pushing him like, ‘Hey, let’s make this as cool as we can.’”
This caboose also has Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, a refrigerator, a shower and more. So, if you’re ever traveling in Iowa and want to experience something special, book a stay at the CR Station Train Caboose!
21. What can we know about the CR Station Train Caboose
A. It can only be booked online. B. It has become a local attraction.
C. It offers a new concept in home decoration. D. It was transported to the town with little effort.
22. The words “low maintenance” in paragraph 4 indicate Jim Dotzenrod is ________.
A. easy and pleasant to deal with B. determined to do what he wants
C. excellent at building houses D. experienced in project design
23. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To introduce a lifestyle. B. To share an experience.
C. To show a travel trend. D. To make an advertisement.
B
It’s an attractive idea: By playing online problem-solving, matching and other games for a few minutes a day, people can improve such mental abilities as reasoning, verbal skills and memory. But whether these brain training games deliver on those promises is up for debate.
A research team gathered more than eight thousand volunteers globally after collecting their submission of an online questionnaire about their training habits and which, if any, programs they used. Some one thousand participants reported using brain training programs for about eight months, on average, though durations ranged from two weeks to more than five years. Next, the volunteers completed 12 cognitive (认知) tests assessing their mental abilities. They faced specially designed memory exercises, such as mentally rotating objects, pattern-finding puzzles and strategy challenges.
When looking at the results, researchers saw that brain trainers on average had no mental edge. Even among the most dedicated, who had used training programs for at least 18 months, brain training didn’t boost thinking abilities above the level of people who didn’t use the programs. Participants who had trained for less than a month, also performed on par with people who didn’t train at all.
“No matter how we sliced the data, we were unable to find any evidence that brain training games were connected with cognitive abilities,” says leader of the team. That held true whether the team analyzed participants by age, program used, education or socioeconomic status – all were cognitively similar to the group who didn’t use the programs, suggesting that brain training games don’t live up to its name. Accordingly, the study advocates no more time sitting at a computer and doing little tasks.
24. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By questioning an idea. B. By having a debate.
C. By explaining an example. D. By making a comparison.
25. What can be learned about the brain training games from the research result
A. They cost time to play well. B. They improve mental abilities.
C. They aren’t as helpful as imagined. D. They aren’t so popular as before.
26. Why do the researchers analyze the data from different angles
A. To engage more participants. B. To further confirm the research result.
C. To test the limitation of the research. D. To provide evidence for the association.
C
One of the greatest mysteries in science is just how Earth went from a planet with minimal oxygen to the breathable air we have now. Scientists long figured that cyanobacteria (蓝细菌) were involved, but couldn’t tell what started the great oxygen-producing cycle.
A new study published in Monday’s Nature Geoscience may provide the key. It theorizes that Earth’s gradually lengthened day from six hours to the current 24 hours kick-starts cyanobacteria into producing lots of oxygen, making most of life as we know it possible. Here are the takeaways of the study.
About 2. 4 billion years ago, there was so little oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere that it could barely be measured, so no animal or plant could live. Instead, lots of bacteria breathed in CO2, and in the case of cyanobacteria, produced oxygen in the earliest form of photosynthesis (光合作用).
At first it wasn’t much. But in about 400 million years, as Earth’s rotation (旋转) gradually slowed down and the day was lengthened from six hours to the present 24 hours, the cyanobacteria breathed more and more oxygen into Earth’s atmosphere until it reached one-tenth the amount of oxygen we have now. The increased oxygen allowed plants to join in the oxygen-making party.
The authors of the study put their theory to test with the bacteria found on a 24-meter-deep seabed in Lake Huron. They exposed the smelly bacteria, which are very similar to the cyanobacteria living around 2. 4 billion years ago, to varying amounts of light, and found that the more continuous light the bacteria got, the more oxygen they produced.
“What makes the idea so convincing is that it doesn’t require any big biological changes in bacteria or the world’s oceans,” said Tim Lyons, a professor at the University of California, Riverside, who wasn’t part of the research team. “This may be a simple but plausible explanation for Earth’s oxygen increase.”
27. What started the oxygen-producing cycle according to the new study
A. Earth’s faster rotation. B. The lengthened daytime.
C. The bacteria in Lake Huron. D. The appearance of plants on Earth.
28. What is the main purpose of the experiment
A. To protect the cyanobacteria. B. To study the similarities of the bacteria.
C To provide evidence for the theory. D. To improve the oxygen level on seabed.
29. What does the underlined word “plausible” in the last paragraph mean
A. Reasonable. B. Sincere. C. Complex. D. Unacceptable.
30. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Rotation of Earth Is Slowing Down
B. Cyanobacteria’s Role Has to Be Re-examined
C. A Breakthrough Is Achieved in Ocean Protection
D. Earth’s Slowing Rotation Increased Oxygen Production

Amazon is closing all of its brick-and-mortar(实体的)bookstores, as well as its 4-star shops and pop-up locations, as the online retail(零售)giant reworks its physical footprint.
The Seattle-based company said that the move will enable it to concentrate its efforts on Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, Amazon Go and its upcoming Amazon Style stores. Amazon Style, which will sell fashion and accessories, is set to open in a Southern California mall later this year. “We remain engaged in building great, long-term physical retail experiences and technologies and we’re working closely with our affected employees to help them find new roles within Amazon,” the company said in a statement.
Amazon opened its first brick-and-mortar bookstore in 2015, two decades after it began selling books online and helped drive many traditional book shops out of business. Amazon’s 4-star shops, which made their debut in 2018, carry a limited selection of best-selling products from top categories that Amazon. com sells, including consumer electronics, toys and games.
The move comes as Amazon. com Inc.’s overall financial growth is slowing as a result of supply-chain difficulties and labor shortages, and it’s looking for new ways to increase sales.
Amazon also is raising its annual Prime membership fee in the U.S. to S139 per year from $119. It’s the first price hike for the Prime membership since 2018.
Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail, said the bookstore strategy comes as a surprise. He said he believes it’s an acknowledgement that the bookstores weren’t delivering the returns Amazon was seeking.
Saunders said he thinks the main problem with Amazon’s non-food stores is that they lacked a real purpose even though the goods was well presented. “They were designed for people to pop in and browse rather than as destinations where people would head on a mission to buy something.”
4. What does Amazon say about its bookstore strategy
A. Bookstores nowadays are not profitable enough.
B. No more brick-and-mortar stores will be opened.
C. The affected employees can still work in Amazon.
D. The supply-chain of best-selling books is a headache.
5. What does the underlined word “debut” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Profit B. Choice. C. Advertisement D. Appearance.
6. Which may be the most important for a store according to Saunders
A. Well-presented goods. B. A purposeful design.
C. High membership fees. D. Attractive sales promotion.
C
Human innovation (创新) has allowed people to explore space for decades. Within a space station, astronauts have enough air, food and water to complete missions of a year or longer without a resupply. But missions to further reaches of space are a different matter. Establishing a base on the moon or sending humans to Mars seems just on the horizon. That can only happen if innovative and foolproof ways are developed to supply humans with enough air, water and food.
One company, Interstellar Labs, has developed an advanced, closed loop system that can grow plants anywhere, even in space. They call their AI managed greenhouses BioPods and they are designed to be very efficient. In fact, Interstellar Labs claims that BioPods reduce the amount of land and water needed to produce food by 99 percent. That is not an impossible claim. BioPods don’t use any soil to grow plants, and the vast majority of water is recycled and recirculated.
Plants are grown inside BioPods using aeroponics, the practice of hanging plants in the air and spraying a mist of nutrient-rich water on their roots. By using aeroponics, the BioPod system carefully conserves water with amazing results. According to Interstellar labs, BioPod-grown plants are up to 300 times more productive than traditionally grown plants, using only a small amount of water.
The conditions inside of a BioPod are controlled by AI, which can change anything from the lighting to the temperature and humidity to maximize growth. This optimizes (使最优化) growing conditions no matter what the environment is outside, including the emptiness of space.
The BioPods themselves can be built in almost any environment, too. The pod’s structure is made with a 3D printer using raw materials in liquid form. The inside part is sealed with an inflatable membrane (充气膜) that is also 3D-printed. This means that a BioPod could be built right on the surface of the moon or Mars, making transporting a large structure unnecessary.
Like most technology developed for space exploration, BioPods can also be used on Earth to provide highly efficient food production systems even in the harshest environments.
7. In writing paragraph 1 the author aims to____________.
A. present a topic B. make a comparison
C. reach a conclusion D. propose a definition
8. Which of the following best describes Biopods
A. They are widely used for space exploration.
B. They are highly productive and efficient greenhouses.
C. They are easy to operate without need for soil or water.
D. They are deigned to be used in harsh environments on Earth.
9. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Food Consumption in Space Station B. Space Exploration with BioPods
C. Growing Food in Space Pods D. 3D Printers Used in Space Lab
10. What is the writer’s attitude to the BioPod
A. Positive. B. Cautious. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.

“That’s that car!” Benny Correa screamed in their black Cadillac. Earlier, his wife Disley had mentioned a missing 11-year-old girl in Brimfield, not far from their home. The passing car was the same make and model.
Correa took a hard right out of the parking lot and tailed the blue Honda to view the license plate. The driver immediately sped up and blew through a stop sign. Correa shocked his family by following suit.
The Honda pulled around the back of a store. When it came around, Correa caught up and pulled ahead, trying to cut it off. The Honda hit the brakes and jumped a curb (路缘). The Cadillac’s high lights flashed on the driver — a young man with black hair, pulling a hooded sweatshirt up over his face. They saw him forcing a girl’s head down in the back, trying to hide her.
Disley, by then had called 911. “Yes, it’s him!” she yelled. “Knife in hand!”
“Get him, Dad!” his son shouted excitedly.
Correa stayed close behind the Honda, zooming down the road at 100 mph. Soon, he discovered the low-gas light was blinking on the dashboard. Actually, they found out later the suspension had been damaged during the race —was running on heavy smoke. Their car soon sputtered (噼啪) to a stop. The Honda disappeared. But thanks to Disley’s directions, the police had plotted the path the man was taking and set up roadblocks, trapping the car soon.
“It felt like we won the lottery,” Disley says. “The feeling of knowing she’s back with her family because of us is just unexplainable.”
1. What happened to the 11-year old girl
A. She was controlled by a criminal. B. She was fleeing with the man.
C. She was hidden in the Cadillac. D. She helped to identify the criminal.
2. What can we know about Benny Correa and his family
A. They finally rescued the victim. B. They risked themselves to help the victim.
C. They once decided to give up in the process. D. They felt it a slim chance to save the victim.
3. Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A. A thrilling race of the car B. A timely rescue of the police
C. A hero action of a brave family D. An impressive experience of a girl
B
Advertising in mass media is powerful. Right ads help create demands of products, campaign for political candidates or ideas and historically, even start wars. Detailed files the social media Companies build for each user, however, make advertising even more powerful by enabling advertisers to tailor their messages to individuals. These files even include your family size and whether you buy a lot of beer.
Consequently, social media has greater abilities to expose people to ideas as fast as they’ll individually accept them. The same ticks that can commend products to just the right person or suggest something addictive just when someone is most fragile can also suggest an extreme Conspiracy (阴谋) theory just when he is ready to consider it.
It’s increasingly common for friends and family to find themselves on opposite sides about important political issues. Many recognize social media as part of the problem, but how are these powerful customized advertising techniques contributing to the divisive landscape
One important part is that people associated with foreign governments, without admitting that, take extreme positions in social media posts with the deliberate goal of sparking division and conflict. These extreme posts take advantage of the social media algorithms (算法), which are designed to heighten engagement Meanwhile, people seeking to influence others put things to more and more extreme positions. The result is apparent. Rather than most people having balanced views with fewer people holding extreme views, fewer and fewer people are in the middle.
What can be done Skepticism about social media recommendations matters. Keep on a more deliberate path to information and avoid just clicking on whatever is recommended. Second, consider supporting efforts to require social media platforms to offer users a choice of algorithms for recommendations. Most importantly, invest more time in interacting with friends and family off social media. Probably, you’ll be far off a constructed track toward extremes.
4. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Social media can put people’s privacy at risk.
B. Advertisements in mass media can influence people a lot.
C. Social media advertisements can drive people to extremes.
D. Advertisements account for damaged relation among family and friends.
5. Which of the flowing employs “customized advertising techniques”
A. Advertising on TV to promote the sales of a new product.
B. Advertising on apps to sell tailored political ideas individually.
C. Advertising in the newspaper to publicize a government policy.
D. Advertising in elevators to raise the public awareness of safety.
6. What does the writer advise readers to do
A. Refuse to get exposed to all the social media.
B Manage to master the social media algorithms.
C. Interact more with family and friends for their advice.
D. Hold a careful attitude to what is proposed by social media.
C
It’s hard to imagine what Earth might look like in 2500. But a co-action between science and art is offering an unsetting window into how ongoing climate change might transform now — familiar land features into foreign landscapes over the following centuries.
These visualizations — of a dried-up Amazon rainforest and some other places — stress why researchers need to push climate predictions long past the habitual 2100, environmental social scientist Christopher Lyon and colleagues argued.
The effects of past and present greenhouse gas emissions will stay for centuries. To visualize what that future world might look like, researchers considered three possible levels — low, medium and high emissions as used in past reports — and predicted changes all the way to 2500.
For all but the lowest-mission assumption, which is roughly in line with limiting global warming to “well under” 2 degrees Celsius relative to preindustrial times as approved by the 2015 Paris Agreement, the average global temperature continues to increase until 2500, the team found. For the highest-emissions temperatures increase by about 2.2 degrees by 2100 and about 4.6 by 2500. That results in “major restructuring of the world’s eco-system”, they say.
The team then co-acted with James McKay, an artist and science communicator at the University of Leeds, to bring the data to life. Based on their predictions, McKay created a series of detailed paintings representing different global landscapes now and in 2500.
The goal of images is to visualize the future in such a way that it feels more urgent, real and close — and, perhaps, to offer a bit of hope that humans can still adapt. “To turn over the trend, we need to think about this problem as a global civilization,” Lyon says. “We wanted to show that, despite the climate people have moved into, people have figured out ways to exist in the climate.”
7. Why do they conduct the co-actions mentioned in Paragraph 1
A. To visualize how climate change may shape the future world.
B. To prove the necessity to make climate predictions as far as 2100.
C. To predict the possible land features of the earth in the year of 2500.
D. To picture present effects greenhouse gas emissions have on the earth.
8. What do we know about Lyon and his team
A. They abandoned some traditional levels of emissions.
B. They assumed high emissions may reshape the eco-system.
C. They mainly focused on how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
D. They got tally different results from those approved by the Paris Agreement.
9. How did James McKay contribute to the project
A. He argued for the prediction made by the team.
B. He travelled around to paint detailed global landscapes.
C. He put forward some measures to deal with climate change.
D. He helped to visualize the research results through detailed images.
10. What is the text
A. News review. B. A research paper. C. Science news. D. An interview journal.

The first thing my wife, Peg, said when I retired was “Good news! Now you’ll have time to clean the garage!” Not exactly good news — it was the one task I’d been putting off. Inside the garage had been gaps so big you could see all the way down to the ground and all the junk that had piled up since I’d started my job.
I’d earned a job as a news director, a position where I could use my skills. I threw my whole into it and put aside all the family trifles. I’d even worked my way up to head of the office. And after 30 years’ service, I knew it was time to retire. But after decades of long hours and strict deadlines, now what
This dusty garage didn’t seem like much compared to the marble halls of the office building. Sure, I would have more time to spend with my family, but I worried I’d lose the sense of purpose and identity I had felt in my job.
I picked my way past coolers, snow shovels and folded canvas. Here I was puttering (磨蹭), of all things. I pulled on work gloves, then removed a box of motor oil out of the way, intending to empty some shelves when my hand hit something hard. What could that be
“Just a dusty tin of seeds.” I sighed. “Huh, maybe older than me.”
I grabbed a plastic tray and pushed them into the soil. “What are my chances ” I asked an experienced gardener. “Not very good,” he said. I told Peg with a sigh, wanting to get rid of the tray, but something made me hesitate.

On Monday, Xu Mengtao won her first Olympic gold in women's aerials(空中技巧) at the2022 Beijing Winter Games. It was not hard to see what it meant for Xu; When the score 108. 61 came up with a “1”by her name, she pointed one, then two fingers to the sky and let out a scream.
“Xu is one of the handful of women to consistently try the high-risk triple flips(三周空翻) over the years,” said American Ashley Caldwell, another triple-flip enthusiast who finished fourth. “While triple flips are not unheard of among the women, the list of athletes who have tried them consistently is short, At the last two Olympics, only four of the 12 finalists tried triple flips in the final round,”
Women's aerials is a sport full of risk-takers but all the risks are very calculated. Since the competitions go through a series of qualifying and elimination(淘汰)rounds that include only one jump each, only a select few over the years have been willing to give up the certainty of a solid score with a double flip for the triple flips.
Xu doesn’t adopt the strategy and keeps trying the triple flips. “It adds extra some might say unnecessary risk to the early rounds,” Xu once said. “But I'm OK sacrificing some good competition results to make the sport look good.”
Failures at the last three Olympics tested the limits of how much X was willing to sacrifice. In meet after meet, from Vancouver to Sochi to Pyeongchan, her strategy kept her away from the gold medal but she kept pushing anyway.
“It's a sense of mission accomplished. This is a winning night for women’s aerials too” Xu said after the award ceremony. “If a lot of girls are doing triple flips up there and I fall, there would still be a lot of girls who would do well, If I mess up, that's OK.”
24. What can we infer from Ashley Caldwell’s words
A. Xu Mengtao is very sensitive B. No athlete wants to try the triple flips.
C. Women are not good risk-takers. D. Most athletes want to avoid uncertainties.
25. What does the third paragraph intend to do
A. Draw a conclusion B. Provide additional information.
C. Lead in the main topic D. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
26. Why does Xu Mengtao keep trying the triple flips
A. She really loves unnecessary risks.
B. She wants to show off her new trick.
C. She hopes to attract more girls to aerials.
D. She wishes to make the sport more enjoyable.
27. Which of the following best describes Xu Mengtao
A. Determined. B. Curious. C. Calculating. D. Outgoing.
C
Maths anxiety may be causing a national crisis, Cambridge University researchers have said, as they find that one in ten children suffer from anxiety at the subject.
Researchers surveyed 1,700 British pupils aged 8 to 13 about their feelings towards the subject. They found 10% of children suffered from maths anxiety. Other feelings caused by maths included fear and anger, while physical symptoms included a racing heart or struggling to catch breath.
“The project studied students’ attitudes towards maths because of what could be called a maths crisis in the UK,” researchers said. “Many children and adults experience feelings of anxiety, fear or discomfort when they face maths. This may be leading to a low level of maths in the country.” The number of adults with functional maths skills equal to a GCSE (英国普通中等教育证书) grade C has dropped from 26% in 2003 to only 22% in 2011, according to the survey. At the same time, only 57% of the children achieved the same level in functional maths skills.
Dr. Denes Szucs, a professor at Cambridge’s Centre for Neuroscience (神经科学) in Education said that there is a misunderstanding that only low performing children suffer from math anxiety. “This is a common misunderstanding that we have seen in decision makers,” he said. “They assume people are anxious about maths because they are poor achievers.” In fact, more than 77% of children with high levels of maths anxiety are normal to high achievers. Dr. Szucs went on, “Probably their maths anxiety will go unnoticed because their performance is good. But they are very worried and in the long term their performance is limited. This is a real danger here: these are children who are completely able to do maths at a normal level, but may keep away from it because they feel anxious.” The research also found that girls have higher levels of maths anxiety than boys.
John’s Hillman, director of education at the Nuffield Foundation said, “Mathematical achievement is valuable, as a foundation for many other subjects and as an important predictor of future academic learning, job hunting and even health. Maths anxiety can seriously influence students’ performance in both primary and secondary schools.”
28. What can we learn from the survey conducted by the Cambridge University researchers
A. Girls suffer lower levels of maths anxiety than boys.
B. Only low performing children suffer from maths anxiety.
C. Children with maths anxiety will suffer both physically and mentally.
D. Most children with high levels of maths anxiety usually perform badly at the subject.
29. Why did the researchers study students’ attitudes towards maths
A. Many children are suffering from maths anxiety.
B. They want to help improve students’ academic performance.
C. Maths anxiety may cause great damage to children’s development.
D. Both children and adults experience maths anxiety, causing a national maths crisis.
30. How does the author prove there may be a national maths crisis in the UK in paragraph 3
A. Providing data. B. Giving examples.
C. Giving definition. D. Analyzing and reasoning.
