(2023 武汉高三5月模拟训练)The schools in Massachusetts were thought as the best in the country. And an Olympic size swimming pool was the 1 . But it wasn't for me.
I was quite 2 in regular classes and sat in the back so I'd not be 3 to read. Each Monday I would work my way to the back of the 4 forming at the diving board so I would not have to practise the dives.

Passage 10
(2024·上海金山·二模)
Sandhya Sriram is impatient. The stem-cell (干细胞)scientist wanted to put her knowledge to use, developing cultivated seafood. Yet no one was doing that in Singapore. So four years ago, she setup a company to create lab-grown crustacean (甲壳纲动物)meat. 1 , she registered her company, Shiok Meats in August 2018.“Nobody was doing crustaceans,”says Sriram, Shiok’s Group CEO and co-founder. “What do Asianseat the most Seafood. It was a simple answer. And they’re so delicious.”A lifelong 2 , she had never tried real shrimp, but she sampled it the weeks she registered the company.
Today, the results of her 3 can be seen at the headquarters of her company. During a fall 2022 visit, a bio-process engineer looked into a microscope carefully. He had taken samples from a bioreactor in the room next door, where the company is 4 crustacean cells. Under the lens, he was checking to see if the cells were ready to harvest.
Shiok Meats has already revealed shrimp, lobster, and crab prototypes (最初形态)to a select group of tasters, and it plans to 5 regulatory approval to sell its lab-grown shrimp by April 2023. That could make it the first in the world to bring cultivated shrimp to diners, putting it at the leading position of the cultivated-meat 6 . As of this writing, only one company has gained regulatory approval to sell lab-grown animal-protein products: Eat Just’s cultured chicken is 7 but only in Singapore. Shiok Meats still needs to submit all the paperwork necessary and get regulatory approval, but the company hopes to see its products in restaurants by mid-2024, offering foodies a more environmentally friendly option free of 8 than crustaceans from farms.
But even if that ambitious 9 is met, it will likely be a while before the average person is eating cultivated crustaceans. It will require not just regulatory approval but also more funding and a bigger factory, along with 10 consumers and governments around the world to accept lab-grown seafood.
“We’re at an interesting stage of a startup; it’s called the Valley of Death,”says Sriram.“We are in the space where we haven’t submitted for regulatory approval yet, but we’re looking to commercialize in the next two years.”Nevertheless, the impatient entrepreneur is 11 . Sriram hopes to have the company’s next manufacturing plant ready by the end of 2023, where a 500-liter and a 2,000-liter bioreactor will be a major 12 from its current 50-and 200-liter bioreactors. The goal is for her products to enter the mainstream in Singapore in five to seven years.
13 these products could help tackle some of the environmental impact of crustacean production. Organic waste, chemicals, and antibiotics from seafood farms can pollute groundwater. Shiok Meats says the way it produces crustacean meat minimizes animal cruelty, as growing protein in a lab helps avoid 14 animals. And cultivating shrimp closer to where it’s 15 cuts emissions from fishing-boat fuel and shipping products around the world.
In a word, when science meets seafood, many wonderful things happen naturally.

Passage 11
(23 - 24 高三上 上海 阶段练习)In 1919, in the aftermath of war, the International Labour Organization used its first convention to limit working hours to eight a day and 48 a week.
The Depression later prompted employers to 1 a five - day week. The latest crisis is dealing a 2 shock to how jobs are designed. The pandemic(疫情) forced many employers to implement remote working. It accelerated the use of technology to help them stay productive.
As well as struggling with the challenges of hybrid work, some businesses are now 3 paying staff the same salary for a four - day working week, once as weird a concept as an eight - hour day. Promised 4 include improved well - being, better focus, fairer sharing of childcare between men and women, and even a lighter carbon footprint. Fear of missing out on the latest trend must not, 5 , blind companies to important obstacles and drawbacks.
Offsetting the cost of a four - day week at a national level looks 6 to achieve. As economic historian Robert Skidelsky pointed out in 2019, in a report for the UK Labour party, “ 7 working hours nationwide, like France’s 35 - hour working week, is not realistic or even desirable, because any cap needs to be adapted to the needs of different sectors(行业)”.
The Wellcome Trust, the science research foundation, decided in 2019 that even a trial would be 8 , partly because its staff performed a mix of roles. Some jobs were hard to confine to four days. Other employees preferred to spread their work over five days. 9 already on a four - day week feared they might lose out.
Lockdowns exposed the gap between flexible homeworking professionals and front - line “ 10 ” staff. A four - day week might 11 it. Some staff want or need to work extra hours. To the risks of a two - tier workforce and reduced freedom of choice add the danger of 12 .
The approach fails if improved productivity does not cover the potential increased cost. If leaders’ determination to hit the same targets forces staff to work four 10 - hour days, to shift their workload back into their 13 weekends, to rush jobs that require more time, or to hire additional hands to plug gaps, some of the benefits of offering workers more free time will quickly disappear.
For each of these 14 , advocates have an answer. One is that companies just need to organize staff more efficiently. In itself, better 15 would improve productivity. Another is to cut working hours, rather than days, allowing greater flexibility.

Passage 12
(2023 上海杨浦 二模)Inconvenient Truths
If doctors lie, it is surely inexcusable. One of the basic 16 the public have of doctors is honesty. But what would you think if I told you that research has shown that 70 percent of doctors 17 to lying to their patients
If I am honest, I have told lies to my patients. Mrs Walton was in her eighties and 18 to see her husband. She would try to get up to find him, despite being at risk of falling. “He’s on his way, don’t worry,” the nurses would say this to calm her down. I said the same thing to her. But it was a lie. He died two years ago.
The truth, if I can use that word, is that it is a 19 to lie sometimes. Mrs Walton is one of the dementia(痴呆) sufferers, who lose their short-term memory and the memory of 20 events, but hold memories from the distant past.
Sufferers are trapped forever in a confusing past that many realize bears little 21 to the present, but are at a loss to explain. Those with dementia often feel upset, scared and confused that they are in a strange place, 22 by strange people, even when they are in their own homes with their family, because they have gone back to decades ago.
They look at their adult children 23 and wonder who they could be because they think their children are still little kids. I have had countless families break down in tears, not knowing how to react as their loved one moves further away from them back into their distant past and they are 24 in the present.
And how, as the doctor or nurse caring for these patients, does one manage the anger and outbursts of distress that comes with having no 25 of your life for the past ten or 20 years
The lies that doctors, nurses and families tell these patients are not big, elaborate lies—they are 26 comforts intended to calm and allow the subject to be swiftly changed. 27 with them about this false reality is not heartless or unprofessional—itis actually kind.
That’s not to say that lying to patients with dementia 28 is right or defensible. But what kind-hearted person would put another human being through the unthinkable pain of learning, 29 again and again, that they have lost their beloved ones. It would be an unthinkable cruelty.
Sometimes honesty is 30 not the best policy.
