Emily Dobek is a seventh-grader at East Prairie Elementary School. Recently she(21)_ (win)a national prize by designing a space station for travelling to Mars.
Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back (22) Grade Three when she and her father watched a blood moon-a total lunar eclipse（月食）-on the roof of their house. She says that night watching the lunar eclipse awakened her passion (23)_ has yet to run out of fuel.
So(24) her teacher, Andrew Smeeton, received information about the national challenge, she immediately had one student in mind.
“I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her research,” Smeeton said. “When she started，bone density（骨密度）of astronauts（25） （research）immediately to figure out how to survive on Mars．”
According to Dobek's design, the Mars Storage Station (MSS) will be built (26)_ (accommodate) the need for sufficient supplies. She explains how her spacecraft-the Adventure-will be joined to a space station before flying to the MSS to load supplies. Her design includes the Self Growing Farm, and she details (27) it would work with elements on Mars.
Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobek;s design. A simulator（模拟器） allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual reality environment. Rooms with circular ceilings allow astronauts to watch(28)_ (download) shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes.

Japan births fall to record low as population crisis deepens
Japan saw 799,728 births in 2022, the lowest number on record. That number has nearly halved in the past 40 years; by contrast, Japan recorded more than 1.5 million births in 1982. Japan also reported a(n)_31_high for post-war deaths last year, at more than 1.58 million. Deaths have 32_births in Japan for more than a decade, posing a
growing problem for leaders of the world's third-largest economy. They now face a ballooning elderly population, along with a shrinking workforce to_33_pensions and health care as demand from the aging population increases.
Japan's population has been in _34_ decline since its economic boom of the 1980s and stood at 125.5 million in 2021.Its death rate of 1.3 is far below the rate of 2.1 required to maintain a stable population, in the 35_of
immigration.
The country also has one of the highest life expectancies in the world; in 2020,nearly one in 1,500 people in Japan were aged 100 or older. These concerning trends resulted in a warning from Prime Minister that Japan is “on the edge of not being able to maintain social_36_”and Japan “simply cannot wait any longer” in solving the problem of its low birth rate. A new government agency will be set up to focus on the issue, with Prime Minister saying that he wants the government to_37_its spending on child-related programs.
But money alone might not be able to solve the complex problem, with various social factors contributing to the low birth rate. Japan’s high cost of living, limited space and lack of child care support in cities make it difficult to raise children, meaning fewer couples are having kids. Urban couples are also often far from 38_family in other regions, who could help provide support. In 2022, Japan was ranked one of the world's most expensive places to raise a child.
And yet, the country's economy has slowed down since the early 1990s,meaning frustratingly low wages and little 39 mobility.
The average real annual household income declined from $50,600 in 1995 to $43,300 in 2020. Attitudes toward marriage and starting families have also _40_in recent years, with more couples putting off both during the pandemic.
III. Reading Comprehension
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.
A recent series of studies examined the role of talent in the sports world. They focused on three different sports: World Cup soccer, professional basketball, and professional baseball. The results were mixed. For soccer and basketball, the studies revealed that adding talented players to a team is indeed a(n)_41 strategy, but only up to a point. Performance 42 when about 70% of the players were considered top talent. Above that level, the team's performance began to decline. Interestingly, this trend was not evident in baseball, where additional 43 talent continued to enhance the team's performance. (Figure 1 and 2)
In looking for an explanation for the different results for different sports, the researchers44 one important factor-the extent to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate（协调） their actions. This task_45_distinguishes baseball from basketball and soccer.
In baseball, the performance of individual players is 46_teammates than in soccer and basketball. The researchers concluded that when, during the course of play, task interdependence is high, team performance will 47 when there is too much talent in the group. When task interdependence is lower, 48 ,individual talent will have a positive effect on team performance.
One explanation for this phenomenon is not so far from the pecking order（等级排序）situation among chickens. If a basketball star is pursuing his own personal goals,_49_, trying to gather a high personal point total, he may be less 50 _as a team player. He may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, thus making the team's overall performance suffer. “There is no 51_in TEAM,” young children learning to play team sports are often told. Apparently stars _52_follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.
Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may begin to 53_. This is referred to as the Ringelmann effect. Ringelmann conducted an experiment in which he asked two, three, four, and up to 28 people to participate in a game of tug-of-war. He measured how much force each person used to pull the rope. He found that whenever he added a person to the team, everyone else pulled with less force.
54_the ideal team-for sports, business, science, or entertainment-is more complicated than simply hiring the best talent. An A-team may require a 55-not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.

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)
It was a winter afternoon when, rushing to attend the final show of my art school degree, I caught the heel of my boot on the edge of a pavement. Suddenly, I was flying through the air. If the past two years studying photography had taught me anything, it was an appreciation of how things can change in a thousandth of a second. Light， shadow， colours， all are in a constant state of flux（不断的变动）-as is life. And since crash-landing onto my left shoulder, I have been living through the truth of this wisdom.
That day, doctors diagnosed a cracked bone. It was only the next morning when, instinctively, I tried to capture some spectacular sunlight streaming into my kitchen, that I had to face the harsh reality: I could no longer lift my camera, let alone use it. Later that weak, a hospital appointment confirmed my worst fear-the arm needed total rest.
Soon, I became cantankerous and impatient. I couldn't travel, I couldn't go anywhere much. Surfing online, I came across the concept of gratitude interventions and their role in boosting mood and wellbeing. A Californian psychologist, Sonja Lyubomirsky, has pioneered research into using a daily photography practice as a tool for enhanced gratitude. Her instructions are simple, but not necessarily easy. Take photographs throughout the day of things that are central to who you are. Take at least five photos a day. Initially, it felt like a demanding task. But reading how participants assigned to the gratitude interventions had experienced enhanced positive emotions, I decided to persevere.
Pain forced me to slow down, because capturing a single iPhone photo was painful. And, yet, the struggle to find anything to feel grateful about, and then to record it, started to dramatically improve both my mood and my images. I began to photograph the most boring details of my days, from my breakfast cup to a red pepper reflected in the window. Despite everything, I found I could find magic in the ordinary. “Life seems repetitive and boring when you don't notice the uniqueness of each moment and the constant subtle changes that are going on all around you,” writes Andy Karr in a wonderful book on photography. I agree, but don't just take my word for it-experience it for yourself.
56. What happened to the writer on the winter afternoon?
A.She went to her classmate's degree show in a hurry.
B.She tripped over and broke her shoulder bone.
C.She was taught an unforgettable lesson on photography.
D. She took a photo of a tragic crash-landing to be on show.
57. The underlined word “cantankerous” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
A. suspicious of the hospital diagnosis
C.enthusiastic about boosting wellbeing
B.desperate to have my injury treated
D.bad-tempcred and always complaining
58. The writer photographed the boring life routine because
A. underlying magic consisted in daily affairs
B. gratitude fuelled a struggle against boredom
C.it was central to the essence of photography
D.she felt like being assigned demanding tasks
59.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Express Gratitude to Winter
C.Witness Rebirth out of Injury
B.Become a Master of Photography
D.Picture this Beauty in the Ordinary
(B)

A notable highlight of the show was the real confidence of the singing. Sam Hall was a joy to watch, with perfect comic timing, as was Emma Williams, thoroughly believable and convincing in her role. These two young talents stole the show, in
my opinion. The only disappointments were the dancing, which showed a lack of originality, and the opening scene, which fell a little flat. Despite the occasional technical flaws, this was a highly enjoyable and greatly impressive production, which the company should be proud of.
I was really looking forward to Jonathan Baker's latest, which is set in an imagined, but realistic, London of the near future. But I found this new effort was let down by the slightly one-dimensional characterization, and the writing is below standard for
the most part: some of the early scenes between Martha and her husband are slightly boring. The superb characterization and ambition that Baker demonstrated in his previous novels seem to be missing here. Baker's commitment to describing the lives of ordinary people is admirable, but the whole thing is lacking in energy.
This is episode number three in the nearly twenty-year-old series, delivering a very attractive and interesting story and loads of comedy. There is some strong writing and voice acting, but the new episode chooses to go for a linear（线性的）narrative，with some puzzles included along the way，
which is less involving than the theme of exploration and conversation which previous episodes have
depended on. Besides, the puzzles are not particularly engaging, and many of them have been seen
before in other adventure games. The visuals are extremely impressive, of course, as we have come to expect, this time featuring venues in Catalonia. But overall, a slight disappointment.
60. The underlined phrase “stole the show” most probably means
A. disappointed the producer
C. attracted the most attention
B .ruined the whole performance
D. exhibited excessive confidence
61.Which of the following statements about Jonathan Baker is TRUE?
A.He excels in one-dimensional characterization.
B.His novels center around ordinary people's lives.
C.His novels show consistent super characterization and ambition.
D.He is passionate about presenting realistic images of future London.
62. The puzzles in episode number three
A.are integrated in the narrative
C. deal with the theme of exploration
B.arc appealing to the audience
D. are absent in other adventure games
(C)
Plugs across America
The United States has around 150,000 fuel stations to refill fossil-fuel-burning vehicles. Despite the rapid growth of all-electric vehicles in America-400,000 of them were sold in 2021, up from barely 10,000 in 2012-the country has only 6,000 fast electric charging stations, the kind that can rapidly charge a battery-powered car.
A glance at America's charging map reveals a lot of charging deserts. This makes sense, as EVs (electric vehicles) still represent less than 3% of new car sales. Large cities have a growing number of fast chargers, but not nearly enough to accommodate so many EVs. Away from cities, these chargers are along interstate highways closely enough to allow electric cars safe passage. Otherwise, they are nearly nonexistent in rural America. And EV stations have a problem that gas stations don’t: “Even the fastest Tesla supercharger is still going to take 15 minutes to put a couple hundred miles on the vehicle,” says Jeremy Michalek, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University.
Michalek says American charging facilities fall far behind what's needed for the whole country to transition to electric driving. On the bright side, there is time to catch up, because not all Americans will embrace EVs at once. Most early adopters were those with access to a charger at home in their garage or parking space. Those owners can wake up with a full battery and only need to rely on public chargers when they leave town on an extended trip. But as the country gets to higher levels of EV adoption, the current facilities won't be enough. That is why Michalek says the US needs to prioritize increasing the number of chargers at rest stops along well-traveled highways, especially as more people use electric cars for summer-time road trips.
“As we get to higher levels of EV adoption, if we don't have enough chargers for peak demand, the wait times are going to be unlike what we see with gas stations,” he says.
Charging dead zones will be larger as more Americans consider an EV. Renters who do not have the option to install a home charger will be hesitant to go fully electric until they can feel confident a public plug will be there when they need it. And as more households drive only electric vehicles, it will be crucial that people can get to all the places they want to go.
In the best ease, Michalek envisions public-private cooperation to build a national charging network. The US government has promised to install plugs throughout rural areas, while companies constructing charging stations across America will have a strong motivation to fill in the country's biggest cities. Afterall, companies like Electrify America, EVgo, and ChargePoint charge customers of energy they use.
63. It can be learned from the 2nd paragraph that
A.there is a shortage of charging stations in the rural areas of America
B.it takes about 15 minutes for an average charger to charge a battery-powered car
C.more electric vehicles are sold than fossil-fuel burning cars in large critics in America
D.there are enough chargers in America considering the limited sales of new electric vehicles
64.Which of the following statements would Michalek most probably agree with?
A. Companies setting up charging stations are hesitant to go electric.
B.Those who already have a home charger don't have to find a public plug.
C.Top priority needs to be given to adding more charging stations across the country.
D.There is enough time to establish a charging network, because not many EVs arc used.
65.What can be inferred about the renters?
A.Some renters don't have the intention to go electric.
B.Some renters might not be authorized to install a home charger.
C.As more renters are unwilling to use public plugs, the charging dead zones are growing.
D.Some renters might not have enough confidence in the public plugs for the safety reasons.
66.Who does Michalek expect to work together to establish the charging network nationwide?
A.The government and some companies.
B.The local government and every household.
C.The charging facility providers and every family.
D.The federal government and the local rural government.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. 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.In reality gardens are anything but natural.
B.What are the things they have been attracted to?
C.They are idealized landscapes with all the mud, pests and dead plants edited out.
D.How much better a place the planet would be if gardening was our outlet for this need!
E.Much like agriculture, gardening is a universal human desire coded into our cultural DNA.
F.The calmness created by owning a tiny green space under my control has a powerful effect on my mind.
As a botanist who studies our cultural relationship with plants, I am forever fascinated with what draws people to gardening.
Admittedly, connecting with the natural world might seem like an obvious motivation, and undoubtedly it is a key part of the attraction. 67_If they were, we'd abandon any attempts at design, planting or care and watch how walls of weeds slowly gave way to the mass of bushes. But that wouldn't be gardening, of course, because for all their diversity, the one thing that all gardens have in common is how unnatural they are. 68 Dazzling plants, water factures and glorious blooms is all interconnected well beyond what would naturally occur. Whether it is green lawns created in the driest deserts or a tropical paradise on a stormy North Atlantic island, they are all about shaping the natural world to fit our idea of what it “should” be.
As I work on my tiny terrariums（玻璃花园）on dark February nights，something magical happens to my brain. 69_In a world that has become increasingly uncertain, people are often fuelled by the same psychological desire: the instinctive need to have a bit of control amid chaos.
As our world becomes more and more unpredictable and often frightening, gardening seems to be able to appeal to and reach out to a whole new generation, often against all odds.
Of course, gardening isn't the only thing people turn to. The rise of culture conflicts and fixation on body image have also been widely documented as being driven by a psychological need to feel a degree of certainty, control and safety. However, I can't help but think of these alternatves:_70

A plan to restore green spaces
The UK government has revealed a plan to protect and restore England's wildlife. It focuses on at-risk species by making canals, rivers and streams cleaner and expanding green spaces.
The new Environmental Improvement Plan sets goals to create or restore more than 5,000 square kilometres of wildlife habitats across England and restore 400 miles of rivers. It will create or expand 25 national nature reserves. New woodland will also be planted alongside rivers. At the moment, access to green spaces is not equal across the UK. Around 4% of people live more than 10 minutes away from their nearest park. The Environmental Improvement Plan aims to make sure households in England are within a 15-minute walk to a green space.
As well as helping more people to get close to nature, the plan should increase England's biodiversity. A Species Survival Fund will be set up to help some of England’s most endangered animals， such as red squirrels（松鼠） and water rats. The Government has set targets to boost these species by 2030.There are also targets to reduce food waste, glass, metal, paper and plastic by 2028,and to improve the quality of water in rivers.
New rules mean that the Government will have to consider the environmental effects of any policy it puts forward. These goals are part of a 25-year plan that was launched in 2018. The aim of the plan is to improve the environment “within a generation”, which is roughly 25 years.
Although lots of people have welcomed the plan, not everyone is impressed. Paul de Zylva, from the charity Friends of the Earth, said it wasn't clear enough how the goals would be met and that many of them were like promises the Government had already made but not yet delivered.

Section A
Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and a question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
1.W:I'm thinking of getting you a new suit for James' wedding.
M: I just hope that my old suit still fits. You know how I feel about shopping.
Q:What does the man mean?
2. W:Hello, I need to schedule an appointment for my hair. How about 10:30 this Saturday?
M:Let me check to see if we can squeeze you in.
Q:What does the man mean?
3.M:So how much was your plane ticket?
W:More than I could really afford. I had to dip into my savings.
Q:What does the woman imply?
4.W: You are dropping out of the school orchestra? But I thought you loved it. All the traveling, playing before big crowds...
M: I do. But...with all that time away from my studies, my grades are really starting to fall.
Q:What does the man mean?
5.W:Wednesdays are going to be busy days for me next semester, three classes in the morning and then two more in the afternoon. I won't even have time for lunch.
M: You really should try to fit it in, you know. Those afternoon classes would be tough to sit through with empty stomach.
Q:What does the man suggest the woman do?
6.M:Oh,I'm sorry, I just realized that I forgot to bring the calculator you lent me. I left it in my dormitory.
W: That's all right. I won't need it until tonight. As long as I get it by then.

Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Travelling abroad costs a lot, not only money but also time and energy. But the personal benefits of travelling to a foreign country are beyond imagination. Getting away from home and stepping out of your usual routine is beneficial for both mind and body.
First, travelling sharpens your mind. A new environment forces you to accept a brand-new life where you'll be required to explore unfamiliar places, read foreign languages, try new things, make quick decisions, and choose your new eating and sleeping schedule. All these will require mental processing. Once you return home, you'll be sharper than ever.
In addition, travelling can give you chances to exercise. Compared with going sweat in gym, exploring new cities on foot, hiking, walking between places can offer much more various and enjoyable ways to exercise. That means you'll be much more active from day to day while on the road, regardless of whether your trip is an adventurous one or simply a relaxing beach trip.
Nobody comes back from a journey the way they started it. For example, returning from Pakistan, a country in south Asia where people struggle to survive for lack of food or suffer from infectious diseases, you may feel more blessed and content. That's another change travelling will bring to you: a shift in perspective.
Therefore, the long-lasting personal benefits of visiting a foreign country far outweigh the costs and time.
(Now listen again.)
11.Which benefit of traveling abroad is NOT mentioned by the speaker?
12.According to the passage, what will happen if one travels to new places?
13.Why does the speaker take Pakistan as an example?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
A new study has found evidence that animals are “shapeshifting: to cope with rising global temperatures. The shape changes are an example of evolution, a process that lets species adapt to changing environments. This happens by passing on the characteristics that make individuals more likely to survive and breed.
As early as 1877, US scientist Joel Allen identified a classic example of evolution in action, known as Allen's rule. This says that warm-blooded animals tend to have longer ears, legs and tails if they live in warmer conditions, compared with similar animals in colder places. The long body parts provide a bigger skin surface that they can use to get rid of extra heat.
A team led by Sara Ryding of Deakin University in Australia, set out to test whether Allen's rule had affected individual species because the world has got warmer in the past 150 years. To do this, they looked at several studies into changing animal shapes, to see if they were linked to temperature.
Among the results, the team found that the mouths of several Australian bird species had grown by between 4% and 10% since 1871.They also found that wood mice are growing longer tails and bats in warmer climates are growing bigger wings. The changes are small so far but may become more obvious in the future. Ears are especially likely to get bigger because they are good at getting rid of heat.
Just because some animals are adapting to a warmer world doesn't make it less of a problem, however. “It just means they are evolving to survive it,” says Ryding-and not all species may be able to adapt quickly enough.
(Now listen again.)
14.Why do animals evolve to have long body parts?
15.Which of the following species is likely to grow longer tails?
16. What is the passage mainly about?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M:Jennifer, have you got two pounds? I forgot to bring my wallet and I need a coffee. I've got only these pennies.
W:Sorry, I always use my bankcard in the cafeteria.
M:You use a card to buy coffee?
W: Yes, it's a tap-and-go card so it's quick. You don't need to enter your password. And everyone in the coffee queue uses them...except you.
M:Well,I pay for things with money!
W:You're out, digging around in your pockets for change, Peter
M: So, help me keep up, Jennifer. What's a tap-and-go card?
W:Well,tap-and-go cards are regular bankcards but with a built-in chip and signal receiver. The card reader sends out a radio frequency and when you bring the card close to the reader, the signal receiver picks up the signal to make the payment.
M: Hmm, doesn't it mean your personal data is flying around in the air for anyone to steal?
W:Nothing is flying around! At less than half a second per transaction, there's no time for anyone to steal your cash!
M: I'm still concerned about tap-and-go cards. What if someone steals my card?
W:Each contactless payment is limited to a certain amount-the UK's limit is £ 30. After you've used your card a few times in a row, you have to enter your password. And if a thief does spend a lot with your card, your bank covers you against the loss. Whereas, if someone steals your banknotes, that's your bad luck.
M:OK,good points. Are you a big spender, Jennifer?
W:Not with my tap-and-go card, Peter. I think you should also apply for one.
M:You are right. It is better to keep up with current trends.
(Now listen again.)
17.How does the woman pay for her coffee in the cafeteria?
18.Why can the tap-and-go card pick up the signal from the card reader?
19.Which of the following is NOT a way to ensure the security of tap-and-go cards?
20.What will the man probably do next?

Emily Dobek is a seventh-grader at East Prairie Elementary School. Recently she(21)_ (win)a national prize by designing a space station for travelling to Mars.
Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back (22) Grade Three when she and her father watched a blood moon-a total lunar eclipse（月食）-on the roof of their house. She says that night watching the lunar eclipse awakened her passion (23)_ has yet to run out of fuel.
So(24) her teacher, Andrew Smeeton, received information about the national challenge, she immediately had one student in mind.
“I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her research,” Smeeton said. “When she started，bone density（骨密度）of astronauts（25） （research）immediately to figure out how to survive on Mars．”
According to Dobek's design, the Mars Storage Station (MSS) will be built (26)_ (accommodate) the need for sufficient supplies. She explains how her spacecraft-the Adventure-will be joined to a space station before flying to the MSS to load supplies.

Japan births fall to record low as population crisis deepens
Japan saw 799,728 births in 2022, the lowest number on record. That number has nearly halved in the past 40 years; by contrast, Japan recorded more than 1.5 million births in 1982. Japan also reported a(n)_31_high for post-war deaths last year, at more than 1.58 million. Deaths have 32_births in Japan for more than a decade, posing a
growing problem for leaders of the world's third-largest economy. They now face a ballooning elderly population, along with a shrinking workforce to_33_pensions and health care as demand from the aging population increases.
Japan's population has been in _34_ decline since its economic boom of the 1980s and stood at 125.5 million in 2021.Its death rate of 1.3 is far below the rate of 2.1 required to maintain a stable population, in the 35_of
immigration.
The country also has one of the highest life expectancies in the world; in 2020,nearly one in 1,500 people in Japan were aged 100 or older. These concerning trends resulted in a warning from Prime Minister that Japan is “on the edge of not being able to maintain social_36_”and Japan “simply cannot wait any longer” in solving the problem of its low birth rate. A new government agency will be set up to focus on the issue, with Prime Minister saying that he wants the government to_37_its spending on child-related programs.
But money alone might not be able to solve the complex problem, with various social factors contributing to the low birth rate. Japan’s high cost of living, limited space and lack of child care support in cities make it difficult to raise children, meaning fewer couples are having kids. Urban couples are also often far from 38_family in other regions, who could help provide support. In 2022, Japan was ranked one of the world's most expensive places to raise a child.
And yet, the country's economy has slowed down since the early 1990s,meaning frustratingly low wages and little 39 mobility.
The average real annual household income declined from $50,600 in 1995 to $43,300 in 2020. Attitudes toward marriage and starting families have also _40_in recent years, with more couples putting off both during the pandemic.

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.
A recent series of studies examined the role of talent in the sports world. They focused on three different sports: World Cup soccer, professional basketball, and professional baseball. The results were mixed. For soccer and basketball, the studies revealed that adding talented players to a team is indeed a(n)_41 strategy, but only up to a point. Performance 42 when about 70% of the players were considered top talent. Above that level, the team's performance began to decline. Interestingly, this trend was not evident in baseball, where additional 43 talent continued to enhance the team's performance. (Figure 1 and 2)
In looking for an explanation for the different results for different sports, the researchers44 one important factor-the extent to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate（协调） their actions. This task_45_distinguishes baseball from basketball and soccer.
In baseball, the performance of individual players is 46_teammates than in soccer and basketball. The researchers concluded that when, during the course of play, task interdependence is high, team performance will 47 when there is too much talent in the group. When task interdependence is lower, 48 ,individual talent will have a positive effect on team performance.
One explanation for this phenomenon is not so far from the pecking order（等级排序）situation among chickens. If a basketball star is pursuing his own personal goals,_49_, trying to gather a high personal point total, he may be less 50 _as a team player. He may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, thus making the team's overall performance suffer. “There is no 51_in TEAM,” young children learning to play team sports are often told. Apparently stars _52_follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.
Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may begin to 53_. This is referred to as the Ringelmann effect. Ringelmann conducted an experiment in which he asked two, three, four, and up to 28 people to participate in a game of tug-of-war. He measured how much force each person used to pull the rope. He found that whenever he added a person to the team, everyone else pulled with less force.
54_the ideal team-for sports, business, science, or entertainment-is more complicated than simply hiring the best talent. An A-team may require a 55-not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.

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)
It was a winter afternoon when, rushing to attend the final show of my art school degree, I caught the heel of my boot on the edge of a pavement. Suddenly, I was flying through the air. If the past two years studying photography had taught me anything, it was an appreciation of how things can change in a thousandth of a second. Light， shadow， colours， all are in a constant state of flux（不断的变动）-as is life. And since crash-landing onto my left shoulder, I have been living through the truth of this wisdom.
That day, doctors diagnosed a cracked bone. It was only the next morning when, instinctively, I tried to capture some spectacular sunlight streaming into my kitchen, that I had to face the harsh reality: I could no longer lift my camera, let alone use it. Later that weak, a hospital appointment confirmed my worst fear-the arm needed total rest.
Soon, I became cantankerous and impatient. I couldn't travel, I couldn't go anywhere much. Surfing online, I came across the concept of gratitude interventions and their role in boosting mood and wellbeing. A Californian psychologist, Sonja Lyubomirsky, has pioneered research into using a daily photography practice as a tool for enhanced gratitude. Her instructions are simple, but not necessarily easy. Take photographs throughout the day of things that are central to who you are. Take at least five photos a day. Initially, it felt like a demanding task. But reading how participants assigned to the gratitude interventions had experienced enhanced positive emotions, I decided to persevere.
Pain forced me to slow down, because capturing a single iPhone photo was painful. And, yet, the struggle to find anything to feel grateful about, and then to record it, started to dramatically improve both my mood and my images. I began to photograph the most boring details of my days, from my breakfast cup to a red pepper reflected in the window. Despite everything, I found I could find magic in the ordinary. “Life seems repetitive and boring when you don't notice the uniqueness of each moment and the constant subtle changes that are going on all around you,” writes Andy Karr in a wonderful book on photography. I agree, but don't just take my word for it-experience it for yourself.
56. What happened to the writer on the winter afternoon?
A.She went to her classmate's degree show in a hurry.
B.She tripped over and broke her shoulder bone.
C.She was taught an unforgettable lesson on photography.
D. She took a photo of a tragic crash-landing to be on show.
57. The underlined word “cantankerous” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
A. suspicious of the hospital diagnosis
C.enthusiastic about boosting wellbeing
B.desperate to have my injury treated
D.bad-tempcred and always complaining
58. The writer photographed the boring life routine because
A. underlying magic consisted in daily affairs
B. gratitude fuelled a struggle against boredom
C.it was central to the essence of photography
D.she felt like being assigned demanding tasks
59.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Express Gratitude to Winter
C.Witness Rebirth out of Injury
B.Become a Master of Photography
D.Picture this Beauty in the Ordinary

A notable highlight of the show was the real confidence of the singing. Sam Hall was a joy to watch, with perfect comic timing, as was Emma Williams, thoroughly believable and convincing in her role. These two young talents stole the show, in
my opinion. The only disappointments were the dancing, which showed a lack of originality, and the opening scene, which fell a little flat. Despite the occasional technical flaws, this was a highly enjoyable and greatly impressive production, which the company should be proud of.
I was really looking forward to Jonathan Baker's latest, which is set in an imagined, but realistic, London of the near future. But I found this new effort was let down by the slightly one-dimensional characterization, and the writing is below standard for
the most part: some of the early scenes between Martha and her husband are slightly boring. The superb characterization and ambition that Baker demonstrated in his previous novels seem to be missing here. Baker's commitment to describing the lives of ordinary people is admirable, but the whole thing is lacking in energy.
This is episode number three in the nearly twenty-year-old series, delivering a very attractive and interesting story and loads of comedy. There is some strong writing and voice acting, but the new episode chooses to go for a linear（线性的）narrative，with some puzzles included along the way，
which is less involving than the theme of exploration and conversation which previous episodes have
depended on. Besides, the puzzles are not particularly engaging, and many of them have been seen
before in other adventure games. The visuals are extremely impressive, of course, as we have come to expect, this time featuring venues in Catalonia. But overall, a slight disappointment.
60. The underlined phrase “stole the show” most probably means
A. disappointed the producer
C. attracted the most attention
B .ruined the whole performance
D. exhibited excessive confidence
61.Which of the following statements about Jonathan Baker is TRUE?
A.He excels in one-dimensional characterization.
B.His novels center around ordinary people's lives.
C.His novels show consistent super characterization and ambition.
D.He is passionate about presenting realistic images of future London.
62. The puzzles in episode number three
A.are integrated in the narrative
C. deal with the theme of exploration
B.arc appealing to the audience
D. are absent in other adventure games

Plugs across America
The United States has around 150,000 fuel stations to refill fossil-fuel-burning vehicles. Despite the rapid growth of all-electric vehicles in America-400,000 of them were sold in 2021, up from barely 10,000 in 2012-the country has only 6,000 fast electric charging stations, the kind that can rapidly charge a battery-powered car.
A glance at America's charging map reveals a lot of charging deserts. This makes sense, as EVs (electric vehicles) still represent less than 3% of new car sales. Large cities have a growing number of fast chargers, but not nearly enough to accommodate so many EVs. Away from cities, these chargers are along interstate highways closely enough to allow electric cars safe passage. Otherwise, they are nearly nonexistent in rural America. And EV stations have a problem that gas stations don’t: “Even the fastest Tesla supercharger is still going to take 15 minutes to put a couple hundred miles on the vehicle,” says Jeremy Michalek, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University.
Michalek says American charging facilities fall far behind what's needed for the whole country to transition to electric driving. On the bright side, there is time to catch up, because not all Americans will embrace EVs at once. Most early adopters were those with access to a charger at home in their garage or parking space. Those owners can wake up with a full battery and only need to rely on public chargers when they leave town on an extended trip. But as the country gets to higher levels of EV adoption, the current facilities won't be enough. That is why Michalek says the US needs to prioritize increasing the number of chargers at rest stops along well-traveled highways, especially as more people use electric cars for summer-time road trips.
“As we get to higher levels of EV adoption, if we don't have enough chargers for peak demand, the wait times are going to be unlike what we see with gas stations,” he says.
Charging dead zones will be larger as more Americans consider an EV. Renters who do not have the option to install a home charger will be hesitant to go fully electric until they can feel confident a public plug will be there when they need it. And as more households drive only electric vehicles, it will be crucial that people can get to all the places they want to go.
In the best ease, Michalek envisions public-private cooperation to build a national charging network. The US government has promised to install plugs throughout rural areas, while companies constructing charging stations across America will have a strong motivation to fill in the country's biggest cities. Afterall, companies like Electrify America, EVgo, and ChargePoint charge customers of energy they use.
63. It can be learned from the 2nd paragraph that
A.there is a shortage of charging stations in the rural areas of America
B.it takes about 15 minutes for an average charger to charge a battery-powered car
C.more electric vehicles are sold than fossil-fuel burning cars in large critics in America
D.there are enough chargers in America considering the limited sales of new electric vehicles
64.Which of the following statements would Michalek most probably agree with?
A. Companies setting up charging stations are hesitant to go electric.
B.Those who already have a home charger don't have to find a public plug.
C.Top priority needs to be given to adding more charging stations across the country.
D.There is enough time to establish a charging network, because not many EVs arc used.
65.What can be inferred about the renters?
A.Some renters don't have the intention to go electric.
B.Some renters might not be authorized to install a home charger.
C.As more renters are unwilling to use public plugs, the charging dead zones are growing.
D.Some renters might not have enough confidence in the public plugs for the safety reasons.
66.Who does Michalek expect to work together to establish the charging network nationwide?
A.The government and some companies.
B.The local government and every household.
C.The charging facility providers and every family.
D.The federal government and the local rural government.

A.In reality gardens are anything but natural.
B.What are the things they have been attracted to?
C.They are idealized landscapes with all the mud, pests and dead plants edited out.
D.How much better a place the planet would be if gardening was our outlet for this need!
E.Much like agriculture, gardening is a universal human desire coded into our cultural DNA.
F.The calmness created by owning a tiny green space under my control has a powerful effect on my mind.
As a botanist who studies our cultural relationship with plants, I am forever fascinated with what draws people to gardening.
Admittedly, connecting with the natural world might seem like an obvious motivation, and undoubtedly it is a key part of the attraction. 67_If they were, we'd abandon any attempts at design, planting or care and watch how walls of weeds slowly gave way to the mass of bushes. But that wouldn't be gardening, of course, because for all their diversity, the one thing that all gardens have in common is how unnatural they are. 68 Dazzling plants, water factures and glorious blooms is all interconnected well beyond what would naturally occur. Whether it is green lawns created in the driest deserts or a tropical paradise on a stormy North Atlantic island, they are all about shaping the natural world to fit our idea of what it “should” be.
As I work on my tiny terrariums（玻璃花园）on dark February nights，something magical happens to my brain. 69_In a world that has become increasingly uncertain, people are often fuelled by the same psychological desire: the instinctive need to have a bit of control amid chaos.
As our world becomes more and more unpredictable and often frightening, gardening seems to be able to appeal to and reach out to a whole new generation, often against all odds.
Of course, gardening isn't the only thing people turn to. The rise of culture conflicts and fixation on body image have also been widely documented as being driven by a psychological need to feel a degree of certainty, control and safety. However, I can't help but think of these alternatves:_70

71.
A plan to restore green spaces
The UK government has revealed a plan to protect and restore England's wildlife. It focuses on at-risk species by making canals, rivers and streams cleaner and expanding green spaces.
The new Environmental Improvement Plan sets goals to create or restore more than 5,000 square kilometres of wildlife habitats across England and restore 400 miles of rivers. It will create or expand 25 national nature reserves. New woodland will also be planted alongside rivers. At the moment, access to green spaces is not equal across the UK. Around 4% of people live more than 10 minutes away from their nearest park. The Environmental Improvement Plan aims to make sure households in England are within a 15-minute walk to a green space.
As well as helping more people to get close to nature, the plan should increase England's biodiversity. A Species Survival Fund will be set up to help some of England’s most endangered animals， such as red squirrels（松鼠） and water rats. The Government has set targets to boost these species by 2030.There are also targets to reduce food waste, glass, metal, paper and plastic by 2028,and to improve the quality of water in rivers.
New rules mean that the Government will have to consider the environmental effects of any policy it puts forward. These goals are part of a 25-year plan that was launched in 2018. The aim of the plan is to improve the environment “within a generation”, which is roughly 25 years.
Although lots of people have welcomed the plan, not everyone is impressed. Paul de Zylva, from the charity Friends of the Earth, said it wasn't clear enough how the goals would be met and that many of them were like promises the Government had already made but not yet delivered.

浦东新区2022学年度第二学期教学质量检测高三英语试卷听力原文
I. Listening Comprehension
Section A
Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and a question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
1.W:I'm thinking of getting you a new suit for James' wedding.
M: I just hope that my old suit still fits. You know how I feel about shopping.
Q:What does the man mean?
2. W:Hello, I need to schedule an appointment for my hair. How about 10:30 this Saturday?
M:Let me check to see if we can squeeze you in.
Q:What does the man mean?
3.M:So how much was your plane ticket?
W:More than I could really afford. I had to dip into my savings.
Q:What does the woman imply?
4.W: You are dropping out of the school orchestra? But I thought you loved it. All the traveling, playing before big crowds...
M: I do. But...with all that time away from my studies, my grades are really starting to fall.
Q:What does the man mean?
5.W:Wednesdays are going to be busy days for me next semester, three classes in the morning and then two more in the afternoon. I won't even have time for lunch.
M: You really should try to fit it in, you know. Those afternoon classes would be tough to sit through with empty stomach.
Q:What does the man suggest the woman do?
6.M:Oh,I'm sorry, I just realized that I forgot to bring the calculator you lent me. I left it in my dormitory.
W: That's all right. I won't need it until tonight. As long as I get it by then.
Q:What does the woman imply?
7.M:I've been waiting all the month for the dining week. With our credit card discount, the set meals will be really cheap.
W:Ah...I was just informed by the bank that our card has just been cancelled.
Q:What does the woman mean?
8.M:Do you think you feel energetic enough to walk to our study group session tonight?
W:If there is one! I guess you haven't heard the weather report. Over a foot of snow is expected for this evening. Q:What does the woman imply?
9.M:What's wrong with Herald today? He shouted at me for no reason.
W:Don't worry. It's just the end-of-semester pressure. He'll be his old self next weak.
Q:What does the woman say about Herald?
10.W:I want to be an influencer, having a certain taste and a unique way of presenting and documenting fashion visually or in written words.
M:I think you should deal with your social media addiction first.
Q:What does the man imply?
Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Travelling abroad costs a lot, not only money but also time and energy. But the personal benefits of travelling to a foreign country are beyond imagination. Getting away from home and stepping out of your usual routine is beneficial for both mind and body.
First, travelling sharpens your mind. A new environment forces you to accept a brand-new life where you'll be required to explore unfamiliar places, read foreign languages, try new things, make quick decisions, and choose your new eating and sleeping schedule. All these will require mental processing. Once you return home, you'll be sharper than ever.
In addition, travelling can give you chances to exercise. Compared with going sweat in gym, exploring new cities on foot, hiking, walking between places can offer much more various and enjoyable ways to exercise. That means you'll be much more active from day to day while on the road, regardless of whether your trip is an adventurous one or simply a relaxing beach trip.
Nobody comes back from a journey the way they started it. For example, returning from Pakistan, a country in south Asia where people struggle to survive for lack of food or suffer from infectious diseases, you may feel more blessed and content. That's another change travelling will bring to you: a shift in perspective.
Therefore, the long-lasting personal benefits of visiting a foreign country far outweigh the costs and time.
(Now listen again.)
11.Which benefit of traveling abroad is NOT mentioned by the speaker?
12.According to the passage, what will happen if one travels to new places?
13.Why does the speaker take Pakistan as an example?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
A new study has found evidence that animals are “shapeshifting: to cope with rising global temperatures. The shape changes are an example of evolution, a process that lets species adapt to changing environments. This happens by passing on the characteristics that make individuals more likely to survive and breed.
As early as 1877, US scientist Joel Allen identified a classic example of evolution in action, known as Allen's rule. This says that warm-blooded animals tend to have longer ears, legs and tails if they live in warmer conditions, compared with similar animals in colder places. The long body parts provide a bigger skin surface that they can use to get rid of extra heat.
A team led by Sara Ryding of Deakin University in Australia, set out to test whether Allen's rule had affected individual species because the world has got warmer in the past 150 years. To do this, they looked at several studies into changing animal shapes, to see if they were linked to temperature.
Among the results, the team found that the mouths of several Australian bird species had grown by between 4% and 10% since 1871.They also found that wood mice are growing longer tails and bats in warmer climates are growing bigger wings. The changes are small so far but may become more obvious in the future. Ears are especially likely to get bigger because they are good at getting rid of heat.
Just because some animals are adapting to a warmer world doesn't make it less of a problem, however. “It just means they are evolving to survive it,” says Ryding-and not all species may be able to adapt quickly enough.
(Now listen again.)
14.Why do animals evolve to have long body parts?
15.Which of the following species is likely to grow longer tails?
16. What is the passage mainly about?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M:Jennifer, have you got two pounds? I forgot to bring my wallet and I need a coffee. I've got only these pennies.
W:Sorry, I always use my bankcard in the cafeteria.
M:You use a card to buy coffee?
W: Yes, it's a tap-and-go card so it's quick. You don't need to enter your password. And everyone in the coffee queue uses them...except you.
M:Well,I pay for things with money!
W:You're out, digging around in your pockets for change, Peter
M: So, help me keep up, Jennifer. What's a tap-and-go card?
W:Well,tap-and-go cards are regular bankcards but with a built-in chip and signal receiver. The card reader sends out a radio frequency and when you bring the card close to the reader, the signal receiver picks up the signal to make the payment.
M: Hmm, doesn't it mean your personal data is flying around in the air for anyone to steal?
W:Nothing is flying around! At less than half a second per transaction, there's no time for anyone to steal your cash!
M: I'm still concerned about tap-and-go cards. What if someone steals my card?
W:Each contactless payment is limited to a certain amount-the UK's limit is £ 30. After you've used your card a few times in a row, you have to enter your password. And if a thief does spend a lot with your card, your bank covers you against the loss. Whereas, if someone steals your banknotes, that's your bad luck.
M:OK,good points. Are you a big spender, Jennifer?
W:Not with my tap-and-go card, Peter. I think you should also apply for one.
M:You are right. It is better to keep up with current trends.
(Now listen again.)
17.How does the woman pay for her coffee in the cafeteria?
18.Why can the tap-and-go card pick up the signal from the card reader?
19.Which of the following is NOT a way to ensure the security of tap-and-go cards?
20.What will the man probably do next?
