How to Be Stylish While Protecting the Environment
Despite the huge numbers of people who care about the environment and love clothes, there is a basic

constant stream of ever-changing trends, (1) _________ means you have to keep consuming. However,
buying (2) _________ awful lot of things that you don’t need, in this case new clothes, is harmful to the

People Alter Their Appearance to Suit Their Names
A new study has found that people tend to alter their appearance to suit their names. The researchers
sought to 11 whether parents choose a baby name based on what seems fitting for the baby’s
appearance, or if individuals’ facial appearances change over the years to 12 the social stereotypes
(刻板印象) connected to their names.
In the study, 9- to 10-year-old children and adults were 13 with paring faces to names. The
findings revealed that both the children and the adults correctly matched adult faces to their 14 names,
considerably above the chance level. However, when it came to children’s faces and names, the participants
were unable to make accurate associations.
In another part of the study, a machine learning system was 15 a large database of images of
human faces. The computer recognized that the appearances of the faces of adults with the same name were
16 more similar to each other than the representations of faces of adults with different names. On the
other hand, no 17 similarity was found among children with the same name compared to children
with different names.
The researchers concluded that the similarity between a person’s face and their name results from a(n)
18 prediction. The facial appearance changes over a long period of time to suit social expectations
attached to the name. Such stereotypes can be formed in many ways, for example, because the name is
linked to a famous figure or due to the 19 of a religious name.
Dr. Yonat Zwebner, Arison School of Business, Reichman University says, “Our findings 20 at
the broader significance of this surprising effect—the powerful influence of social stereotypes.”

Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.
Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Once those goods are 21 , producers usually wash their hands of them. Certainly they do not worry

years, the world’s consumption of raw materials has nearly become four times as big, to more than 100

Industry does talk about sustainability and recycling, but much of that is 24 intended to improve

so in the case of “gigafactories”, so called because their output of batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) is
measured in gigawatt hours (GWh).
Every carmaking country wants gigafactories. Batteries are the costliest part of an EV, so making them
is 26 . But they contain materials that are pricey and can be hard to obtain. Supply chains are long and
complicated, and buyers risk their reputation 27 by their suppliers’ poor environmental and labour
standards. 28 materials makes sense.
Being 29 , most gigafactories are designed with recycling in mind from the start. The result is a
30 production process. The idea is that once 31 reach the ends of their lives, they should go back
to a factory, where their components can be recovered and put into new batteries.
Gigafactories are not yet models of the circular economy, but they are laying the foundations.
Northvolt, a battery-maker, aims by 2030 to produce 150GWh of batteries—enough to power some 2
million EVs. By then, around half its raw materials should come from recycling old batteries. Northvolt is

It is estimated that the recycling rate for little-worn clothing and footwear is just 13%. A big part of the
reason is the use of mixed fibres, which are hard to recycle. Clothing companies could, like gigafactories,

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best
according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
1One afternoon a few months before Tom and I were to be married, Max wandered into the dining
room of the house we all shared. I was sorting through a box of old photographs.
2“Who’s that ” he asked.
3“That was my grandfather, the one who died a few months ago.”
4“Hmm. Too bad he had to die.”
5Just as I was about to put the last of the pictures in the box, Max pressed his finger to a face. “And
who will this be to me ”
6Beneath his finger I could see the edges of my own face. I was suddenly flooded with a joy which I
had no name. This son of the man I loved was becoming my son. We’d have family Christmas cards and
school art stuck to the fridge. All these things I’d never allowed myself to want. Now I was becoming a
mother.
7I should have known how to say just the right, wise, magical thing. But I didn’t. “I’ll be your second
mom,” I said.
8“Oh.”
9 “I’m sorry that your first mom died. I liked her.”
10“What should I call you ” he asked.
11My heart pounded, and my stomach turned over. Mama, I wanted to cry. I’ll be your mama and
you’ll be my son. I resisted. “You can call me Mom, or Mama. You can also call me Betsy, if you’d rather.
Whatever feels okay for you.”
12He stood there a minute. “What’s for dinner ” he asked.
13“Burgers.”
14“Sweet,” he said as he walked out of the room.
15At our wedding a few months later, Tom and I said our vows (誓言) to one another. Then Max was
invited to stand beside us and I made vows to him. I promised to step into the shoes his mother had been
forced to leave behind, to help him remember her, and to be the best mother I could be.
虹口区高三英语 本卷共 11页 第 4页
16After the wedding, for the next few days, Max tried out a new title for me. “Can we go bowling ”
he’d ask, and then follow the question by mouthing the word mom. Or, “Can we go to the store ” And the
mouthed word, mom. Mom was always silent. It seemed he was trying it on, seeing how it felt in his
mouth.
17Weeks later as I drove him home from school, Max suddenly said, “I notice I don’t call you Mom.”
18Oof. Who threw that rock at my chest I breathed to calm my voice. “I noticed that.”
19“When I say Betsy, I mean Mom.”
20“Thanks,” I said. “That’s nice to know.”
21He looked out the window. “Moms die, you know. I think it’s maybe safer if you’re just Betsy.”
22I willed tears away, not wanting to overwhelm him. He had enough to carry. “Thanks, Bud. I
appreciate you telling me.”
23“Hey, Betsy ”
24“Yeah,” I said, delighted with the new sound of my old name.
25“What’s for dinner ” he asked.
36. When Betty said “I’ll be your second mom,” (paragraph 7), she __________.
A. thought her role was significant to Max
B. wished Max could let go of the sad memories
C. was looking forward to becoming Max’s mother
D. suggested that she was legally responsible for Max
37. According to Max, why did he call Betsy “Betsy” instead of Mom
A. He wants to tell Betsy she is his best friend.
B. He still feels shy to address Betsy as Mom.
C. He doesn’t want to forget his dead mother.
D. He hopes Betsy could always be with him.
38. How does Betsy most probably feel when Max mentions dinner at the end of the passage
A. Confused about Max’s favourite food.
B. Happy to lead a regular family life.
C. Relieved to have a simple conversation.
D. Annoyed with Max’s constant questioning.
39. Why does the author develop the passage with short dialogues
A. To reveal the tension between Max and Betsy.
B. To show that Max is avoiding deep conversations.
C. To help express the two speakers’ emotions directly.
D. To make the passage shorter and easier to understand.

The facts of climate change are widely reported. It is noted that with a 2℃ increase in global
temperatures, as compared with a 1.5℃ increase, about 61 million more people living in urban areas
around the world will be exposed to severe drought.
The problem with communicating these numbers, however, is that math anxiety—the experience of
tension, fear or worry when facing mathematical problems—and the inability to understand and employ
numerical concepts—are both quite common.
Despite high rates of innumeracy (数学盲), there are reasons to think that people may not disengage
when they receive numbers. First, multiple past studies show that people often prefer getting numerical
details over vague description or purely verbal communication. People also trust messages provided by
medical professionals or journalists more when that communication includes numbers than when it does
not. The use of specific numbers signals expertise to readers.
But trade-offs exist. Given people’s anxiety about math and level of mathematical ability, there is an
upper limit when communicating these kinds of details. In past research, it was found that people find
numbers helpful, so long as there aren’t too many of them. No hard-and-fast rule suggests how many is too
many—it depends on the complexity of the topic, people’s familiarity with the subject and their overall
numeracy. Communicators therefore need to know and attend to their audience: if a speaker sees someone
looking bored, for example, it’s a sign to back off on the numbers.
In addition to the possibility of being overloaded by numbers, their persuasive power could have
consequences that communicators need to consider. Based on the most recent findings, more negative
feelings about the posts containing numeric consequences of climate change are reported. To be clear, this
doesn’t reflect math anxiety. Instead, these posts resulted in negative emotions because the numerically
precise messages were stronger in conveying the disastrous consequences of climate change. If you can
虹口区高三英语 本卷共 11页 第 7页
suggest actions that people feel they can carry through, that could set off the negative feelings that arise
when they consider climate change’s consequences.
So whether you’re an environmentalist seeking to communicate more effectively over social media or
looking for strategies to persuade family over the dinner table, there are a few lessons here. Find the key
numerical data and share that. Think strategically about data presentation. When talking about climate
change, include some proposed action. Given that past work suggests that sharing numbers builds trust,
your readers or listeners may be more likely to follow your recommendations. When used wisely, numbers
can help transform anxiety into action, which could help turn the tide in our fight against climate change.
43. According to the passage, what can numbers do when they are used to illustrate climate change
A. They can arouse people’s anxiety about math.
B. They leave the audience even more confused.
C. They help make the message more credible.
D. They don’t really change how people feel.
44. Which of the following best fits the description of “trade-offs” (paragraph 4)
A. Numbers cause difficulties in understanding the matter.
B. People find the subject being talked about unfamiliar.
C. It takes time to confirm the precision of all numbers.
D. People tend to hold more debates about the topic.
45. According to the passage, which of the following is an effective climate message
A. Sea level rise: a ticking time bomb for coastal cities!
B. Cycle 5 miles daily, save 50% on carbon emissions!
C. 50% of species lost: a warning from climate change!
D. Plant more trees today, enjoy fresher air tomorrow!
46. What is the best title for this passage
A. Numbers: Origin of tension about climate change
B. Numbers: Reason for high levels of math anxiety
C. Numbers: Cause of boredom in public speaking
D. Numbers: Aid in fighting environmental issues

Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each
sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. A dog won’t try to fix the problem the way some people do.
B. Dogs are not just pets but beloved members of a family.
C. Dogs are fantastic at reading us.
D. Reading and understanding the needs of pets helps improve our overall emotional well-being.
E. Talking to your dog about emotionally frustrating issues can be particularly beneficial.
F. They’re more likely to distract you.
The Benefits of Talking to Your Dog
It’s common for people to chat with their dogs throughout the day—about what each other is doing or
how cute or playful the pup is. It’s a gentle reminder of what’s meaningful. “When you talk to your dog,
you get a sense that this is why you’re here—no matter what happens at work or with your finances, your
dog still loves you and needs you, and that gives you a sense of purpose,” says Larry Young, an expert on
social bonding at Emory University.
47 In a 2018 study, researchers found that people are more willing to reveal to their
dogs about difficult emotions, such as depression, jealousy, anxiety, and fear, than they are with their
romantic partners or friends.
The precise reasons for this aren’t known but one possibility is that “pets are good, nonjudgmental
listeners because they don’t interrupt or reply,” says study coauthor Daniel Mills, a specialist in
human-animal relationships at the University of Lincoln. 48 Even so, there’s value in
simply expressing emotions, especially troublesome ones. Research has found that when people put their
emotions into words, their negative feelings become less intense.
Another hidden advantage: Your dog isn’t going to engage in a conversation about what’s bothering
you, which could keep you thinking about it. 49 “Dogs use emotionally controlling
strategies,” Mills says. “Their desire to play draws you away from being sad or angry.”
Further support for this phenomenon comes from a 2022 study. It was found that by engaging in
micro-breaks to pet their pup, the people are able to relax and recover—in ways that interacting with
unfurry family members doesn’t.
50 “They can sense when we’re upset—and they are arguably better at reading us than
some people are,” says Kogan. And “because we know that our dogs read us so well, we regulate ourselves
so as not to upset our dogs, which is helpful for us as well.” It’s a positive feedback loop (反馈回路).

III. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in
no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
51. How Green is the Paris Olympic Games
The organizers of the Paris Olympic Games have promised to make the Games the most sustainable in
the decades since climate change became a concern. But how did it work
On the plus side, organizers have been serious in their efforts to reduce carbon emissions. They
measured the expected carbon footprint of the Games, reduced emissions through energy efficiencies and
limited new construction by using existing facilities.
But, the sustainability efforts in Paris have not all been smooth sailing. The Seine is scheduled to host
marathon swimming. But despite spending 1.4 billion euros trying to clean the river, French authorities
have achieved inconsistent results: Water tests in June still showed high levels of pollutants.
The Paris organizers had also hoped to rely on a cooling system that pump cold water beneath the
village’s floors. That technology was expected to reduce the carbon impact by 45 percent. But, eventually,
they gave up their ambition to avoid using conventional air-conditioning in the Olympic Village, installing
some 2,500 temporary air-conditioning units.
For years, the organizers all promised the Games would be “climate positive.” But, whatever efforts
were taken, none of them could really achieve sustainability as long as millions of tourists flew into the
host city. Organizers of the Rio Olympics in 2016 estimated that more than 40% of the carbon emissions
came from international spectators. This year, with tickets available on a central platform globally, the
number of international visitors was beyond control.
For all the efforts in Paris to reduce the carbon impact of the games, some of which have been
considerable, the scale of future Games must be rethought. Jules Boykoff, who has written extensively
about the Olympic Games, rightly argues that “the Games need to reduce their size”. It wouldn’t solve
everything, but it would make these events more sustainable.
