江苏泰州市2022届高三第二次调研测试
I am not sure how many books I have reread,but perhaps it is fewer than the average person. ____16____ The source material, though, is of course not.
I used to take the same approach to books as I did to travel: don't go to the same place twice.Life is too short.____17____Then I realized that the fact that life is short might work the other way around, too: if you know you enjoy something,or somewhere, then why not return?
Recently I reread Joseph Heller's Catch-22.I was inspired to do so when reminded of how he'd respond when people rudely asked him why he'd never written anything as good:"Who has?"Catch-22 pretty much saved my life when I first read it.____18____I had dropped out of school twice,didn't leave the house at all and didn't have a life.It felt as though I hadn't laughed in such a long time.
____19____It managed to take me out of the dark world, and though its themes are,of course,serious,its cleverness cheered me greatly.I related to its characters who are themselves trapped.I am now planning to reread the sort of books that inspired me in my own writing.
I won't take a break altogether from reading the most recent releases.I love the smell of new books fresh from the printers.____20____
A. Catch-22 had me laughing.
B. My favourites are secondhand editions.
C. There is discomfort in reading recently-released books.
D. At that time I was an extremely depressed 17-year-old.
E. For me, the pleasure of rereading is a newly discovered one.
F. There is so much to read and so much to see and experience.
G. However,I have determined to dip more frequently into the old ones
【答案】16. E 17. F 18. D 19. A 20. G
【分析】本文是说明文。文章通过作者读书的经历，表达了虽然喜欢新书的味道，但还是喜欢重读能够激励自己的旧书的观点。
【16题详解】根据上文“I am not sure how many books I have reread, but perhaps it is fewer than the average person.”(我不知道我重读了多少本书，但可能比一般人少。)提到作者不知道自己重读了多少书籍可知，后面紧接着要说重读对于作者的意义。E项“For me, the pleasure of rereading is a newly discovered one.(对我来说，重读的乐趣是新发现的。)”符合语境。故选E。
【17题详解】上文“I used to take the same approach to books as I did to travel: don't go to the same place twice. Life is too short.”(我过去对待书籍和旅行的态度是一样的：不要去同一个地方两次。生命太短暂了。)说明之前作者对待书籍和对待旅行的态度是一样的，作者不会去同一个地方，不读同一本书，是因为生命太短暂，需要经历的东西太多。F项“There is so much to read and so much to see and experience.(有太多的东西要读，太多的东西要看和经历。)”承接上文，符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】根据下文“I had dropped out of school twice, didn't leave the house at all and didn't have a life.”(我曾两次辍学，根本没有离开家，没有生活。)可知，这里作者讲述了自己的故事，D项“At that time I was an extremely depressed 17-year-old.(当时我17岁，极度抑郁。)”符合语境。故选D。
【19题详解】根据下文“It managed to take me out of the dark world, and though its themes are, of course, serious, its cleverness cheered me greatly.”(它成功地把我带出了黑暗的世界，当然，尽管它的主题是严肃的，但它的智慧让我大受鼓舞。)可知，本段要介绍一本能够激励作者的书。A项“Catch-22 had me laughing.(《第二十二条军规》让我笑了。)”符合语境。故选A。
【20题详解】上文“I won't take a break altogether from reading the most recent releases. I love the smell of new books fresh from the printers.”(我不会完全从阅读最新版本中休息。我喜欢刚从印刷厂出来的新书的味道。)说道作者喜欢新书的味道，结合倒数第二段最后一句“I am now planning to reread the sort of books that inspired me in my own writing.”(我现在正计划重读那些启发我写作的书。)可推测此处应该表转折，表达“自己还是喜欢重读旧书”。G项“However, I have determined to dip more frequently into the old ones.(然而，我决定更频繁地使用旧的。)”符合语境。故选G。
江苏连云港市2022届高三第二次调研考试
In 2013, digital media consultant Baratunde Thurston launched an experiment. He decided to disconnect from his online life for twenty-five days: no Facebook, no Twitter, not even e-mail. He needed the break. ____36____
It didn’t take him long to adjust to a disconnected life. By the end of that first week, he was less stressed about not knowing new things. ____37____ He enjoyed food without Twittering the experience. But the end came too soon. After the twenty-five days. he had to restore his online presence.
His experiment summarizes two important points about our relationship with social networks like Facebook and Twitter. The first point is that we increasingly recognize that these tools fragment (碎裂) our time and reduce our ability to concentrate. ____38____ But the problem is especially serious if you’re attempting to improve your ability to work deeply.
To fight back against these distractions, Thurston felt his only option was to quit the Internet altogether. But the problem is that no one is meant to actually follow Thurston’s lead. ____39____ That is to accept our current distracted state as unavoidable. This brings me to the second point summarized by Thurston’s story: it didn’t take him long once the experiment ended to slide back into the fragmented
state where he began.
This rule proposes a third option: accepting that these tools might be vital to your success and happiness, but meanwhile accepting that most people should be using fewer such tools. I won’t ask you, in other words, to quit the Internet altogether like Thurston did. ____40____ There is a middle ground, and if you’re to develop a deep work habit, you must fight to get there.
A. He struck up conversations with strangers.
B. It is a real problem for many different people.
C. “I was burnt out, fried, and done,” he explained.
D. This reality accounts for the remaining alternative.
E. He had to return to the online world with books to market.
F. But I’ll ask you to reject the state of highly distracted connectedness.
G. Fortunately, you will break the habit of surfing the Internet gradually.
【36~40题答案】
【答案】36. C 37. A 38. B 39. D 40. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章讲述了数字媒体顾问Baratunde Thurston25天不上网的实验，这个实验总结出社交媒体分散我们的时间且使我们集中注意力的能力下降，作者最后建议适度使用媒体社交工具。
【36题详解】
根据上文“He decided to disconnect from his online life for twenty-five days: no Facebook, no Twitter, not even e-mail. He needed the break.(他决定在接下来25天里远离网络生活：没有Facebook，没有Twitter，甚至连电子邮件都没有。他需要休息)”可知，Baratunde Thurston过没有网络的生活是为了休息，分析选项，C项“‘我累坏了。’他解释道。”解释上文需要休息的原因，故选C项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“By the end of that first week, he was less stressed about not knowing new things.(到第一周结束时，他对不了解新事物的压力减轻了)”及下文“He enjoyed food without Twittering the experience.(他享受美食，但没有在Twitter上分享自己的经历)”可知，此处是描述他没有网络后的生活，A项“他和陌生人攀谈起来。”符合语境。故选A项。
【38题详解】
上文“these tools fragment (碎裂) our time and reduce our ability to concentrate(这些工具分散了我们的时间，降低了我们集中精力的能力)”指出社交网络分散我们的时间、降低我们集中精力能力的“问题”，根据下文“But the problem is especially serious if you’re attempting to improve your ability to work deeply.(但如果你试图提高深入工作的能力，这个问题就特别严重了)”可知，B项“这对许多不同的人来说都是一个真正的问题。”符合语境，B项中的problem呼应上下文的the problem。故选B项。
【39题详解】
上文“To fight back against these distractions, Thurston felt his only option was to quit the Internet altogether. But the problem is that no one is meant to actually follow Thurston’s lead.(为了反击这些干扰，Thurston觉得他唯一的选择就是完全退出互联网。但问题是，没有人真的会跟随Thurston的脚步)”指出没有人能像Thurston那样完全离开网络，下文“That is to accept our current distracted state as unavoidable.(那就是接受我们当前分心的状态是不可避免的)”指出人们只能回归社交网络世界，所以D项“这一现实解释了剩下的选择。”承上启下，讲明了下文的原因。故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“I won’t ask you, in other words, to quit the Internet altogether like Thurston did.(换句话说，我不会要求你，像Thurston那样，完全退出互联网)”及下文“There is a middle ground(有一个中间地带)”可知，作者不要求完全退出网络，但是建议不能过度使用网络，要找到中间地带，故F项“但我要你拒绝使你高度分心的连网状态”符合语境，是一个使用互联网的中间地带。故选F项。

36-40 EGFDB
本篇描述了职业教练提供的服务，以及对职业选择的正面影响，介绍了教练选择中的注意事项和培训事项。文章选项迷惑性不强，难度不大。
36．E。从后文“To make it all worthwhile/为了让这一切都值得”可知，这句话中的it应该代指的就是我们需要选择的选项，暗示了此处应该选择我们要付出的代价，也就是E选项中提出的“需要投入的金钱和时间”。
37．G。前文“Know what type of professional you need to hire.”提示了我们应该要知道自己需要什么样的专业人士，而后一句“In other words……advancing in your development.”又讲述了职业教练给我们带来的好处，所以应该选择一个承上启下的句子，来连接上下的内容。
38．F。从选项后一整段描述的“我们需要想一想从他们那里得到什么”可知，这一整段都讲述的是我们应该确定自己需要的服务，以此应该选择一个可以引出后文解释的选项，也就是F选项中所说的“了解你需要哪些服务，并对你不知道自己需要的服务持开放态度”。
39．D。此段第一句说了“尝试示例课程以找到正确的课程”，选项前一句也在说“不知道自己要什么应该提问”，这些都暗示了个人需求和课程选择的关系，所以这里应该选择D，表示在自己不确定时应该提问尝试，以完成个人需求的评估。
40．B。这个选项比较简单，通读全段可知，这一整段表达的都是关于职业教练收费的问题，因此应该选择一个和价格有关的选项，也就是B选项所说的“了解收费”。

Want a relaxing but fun challenge at home? 36 Puzzles have been around for more than 250 years and the challenge of working out where each piece goes and carefully recreating the scene on the box lid can keep you busy for hours, days or even weeks.
Puzzles come in a huge range of sizes and difficulty levels. For beginners, a 100-piece puzzle is usually a good starting point. 37 Try grouping pieces with the same colours or design because they will probably go in the same area once the puzzle takes shape.
38 Those pieces are easier to find because they have a straight side. Stay patient as you search through and try to make it fit together. You may not find any connecting pieces for ages but then several may suddenly appear.
For a real test, puzzles that have 1,000 pieces or more are a tough task and it’s best to complete them with friends or family if you can. Choosing a scene that interests you, such as a favourite film, sport or location, can help keep you interested and determined to work to the final piece. You can get fun educational puzzles, too. 39
Some of the best places to pick up puzzles are charity shops. They’re often on sale for less than €5. Once you have completed a puzzle it’s nice to exchange it with a friend. 40 You just upload an image, such as a family scene, and they will make a puzzle from it and post it to you. It makes lovely and unusual present.
A. So others can have a go.
B. You can’t beat a good puzzle.
C. Some companies make personalised puzzles.
D. However, a good start doesn’t always lead to a good result.
E. Most people like to start by getting the four edges of a puzzle laid out.
F. It can get you used to sorting out how the shapes, patterns and colours go together.
G. For example, you may try a map of the world, historical timelines or the periodic table.
36. B。根据.上文"challenge at home"以及"Puzzles have been around..."可以确定关键词为居家消遭的活动，该活动即puzzle, B句"You can't beat a good puzzle"译为“智力玩具(拼图)是无可匹敌的"故选B。
37. F。根据前文“a 100-piece puzzle is usually a good starting point"可知,100片的拼图适合新手，后文应阐述原因，同时根据后文"Try grouping pieces with the same colours or design..可知关键词为colour and design,对应F句中的shapes, pattens and colours.综合选F.
38. E。根据后文"Those pieces are easier to find because they have a straight side"关键词straight side对应E句中把相同边缘形状的拼图摆出来。故选E。
39.G.根据前文"You can get fun educational puzzles, too"可知，后文应举例"educational puzzles"有哪些，对应G句中map of the world, historical timelines or the periodic table,故选G。
40.C。根据后文"You just upload an image..family scene..make a puzzle from it.可知这是在个性化定制拼图，对应C句"personalised puzzled

【分析】本文为议论文，首先提出两个关于水的不同观点：饮水能改善健康状况与记忆；饮水并不等同于健康，水合作用是体内电解质与水的平衡。然后从四方面对后者展开论证。
【16题详解】
根据空前“how much water do you need to drink?”引出本段话题：你需要喝多少水。然后提出许多人对此的看法，并被专家否定了。后面对比不同人的需水量，说明了体重及其进行的活动不同，需水量不同，故选D项。
【17题详解】
从空后“heart condition”“ kidney stones”(肾结石)“ A person taking diuretic drugs(利尿药)”“ vomiting or diarrhea”(呕吐或腹泻)可看出，该段主要在说需水量与个人身体健康状况有关，此空为该段的主旨句，故选F项。

根据空后“You also get water from what you eat.”该句表明人们可以从吃的事物中获取水，其中“also”，说明前面已经提出了一个人体中水的来源，G项“any drink can add water to your system.”符合要求，且与第一句“Water is a better choice than sugary sodas or fruit juices.”连贯，“any drink”与“sugary sodas or fruit juices”对应，故选G项。
【19题详解】

【20题详解】
根据空后“add electrolytes to stay healthy”表明电解质有利健康，说明电解质在人体内有重要作用，B项符合，“They”对应“Electrolytes”，“vital”对应“essential”，故选B项。

You complain about life.

Facial recognition is a technology that uses distinguishable facial features to identify a person. ____16____ It may allow you to unlock your phone, go through security at the airport, and purchase products at stores.
____17____ The police use the technology to uncover criminals or to find missing children or seniors. Airports are increasingly adding facial recognition technology to security checkpoints. When people know they are being watched, they are less likely to commit crimes. So using facial recognition technology could prevent crime.
Another advantage is that, since there is no contact required for facial recognition like there is with fingerprinting or other security measures, facial recognition offers a quick, automatic, and seamless contact experience. ___18___
The biggest drawback for facial recognition technology in most people’s opinions is the threat to an individual’s privacy. In fact, several cities have considered or will ban real-time facial recognition observation used by law enforcement agencies. ____19____ It’s just not allowing the government bodies to use live facial recognition software.
In addition, there are issues that need to be resolved when a person changes appearance or the camera angle isn’t quite right. However, it’s dramatically improving now, according to independent tests by a U. S. research institute. ___20___
In order to benefit from the positive aspects of facial recognition, our society is going to have to work through some significant challenges to our privacy and civil liberties.
A. Today, it is widely used in various aspects of life.
B. But sales organizations can still use it at certain times.
C. It has got 20 times better at finding a match in a database.
D. So, no other security measures give you a similar experience.
E. There is nothing such as a key or ID that can be lost or stolen.
F. But police can still use devices such as Nest cameras to find criminals.
G. One of the major advantages of facial recognition is safety and security.
【16~20题答案】
【答案】16. A 17. G 18. D 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人脸识别在生活中的广泛运用及其优缺点。
【16题详解】
下文“It may allow you to unlock your phone, go through security at the airport, and purchase products at stores.(它可以让你解锁手机，通过机场安检，在商店购买产品)”列举了人脸识别在各种场景的运用，正是对A项“Today, it is widely used in various aspects of life.(如今，它被广泛应用于生活的各个方面)”的举例说明，对“various aspects of life”进行了具体说明，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据下文“The police use the technology to uncover criminals or to find missing children or seniors. Airports are increasingly adding facial recognition technology to security checkpoints. When people know they are being watched, they are less likely to commit crimes. So using facial recognition technology could prevent crime.(警方使用这种技术来发现罪犯或寻找失踪的儿童或老人。机场安检处越来越多地采用面部识别技术。当人们知道他们被监视时，他们就不太可能犯罪。所以使用面部识别技术可以预防犯罪)”可知，本段主要介绍了警方和机场使用人脸识别来发现罪犯和预防犯罪，提升安全感，再结合第三段首句“Another advantage is, (另一个优势是)”可推知，本段也是在介绍人脸识别的优势，所以G项“One of the major advantages of facial recognition is safety and security.(面部识别的主要优点之一是安全)”是第二段内容的概括，同时也与第三段构成并列关系：“One of the major advantages of facial recognition is... Another advantage is...”。故选G项。
【18题详解】
上文“Another advantage is that, since there is no contact required for facial recognition like there is with fingerprinting or other security measures, facial recognition offers a quick, automatic, and seamless contact experience. (另一个优点是，面部识别不需要像指纹或其他安全措施那样需要接触，因此面部识别提供了快速、自动和无缝的接触体验)”讲人脸识别带给我们快速、自动和无缝的接触体验，D项“So, no other security measures give you a similar experience.(因此，没有其他安全措施能给你类似的体验)”说这种体验是其它安全措施无法企及的，句中“similar experience”与上文照应，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“In fact, several cities have considered or will ban real-time facial recognition observation used by law enforcement agencies.(事实上，一些城市已经考虑或将禁止执法机构使用的实时面部识别)”和下文“It’s just not allowing the government bodies to use live facial recognition software.(它只是不允许政府机关使用实时面部识别软件)”可知，尽管一些城市已经考虑或将禁止使用的实时面部识别，但主要是针对执法机构和政府机关，并不禁止其在商业中的运用，所以B项“But sales organizations can still use it at certain times.(但是销售组织仍然可以在特定时间使用它)”符合语境，且与上文构成转折关系。故选B项。
【20题详解】
上文“In addition, there are issues that need to be resolved when a person changes appearance or the camera angle isn’t quite right. However, it’s dramatically improving now, according to independent tests by a U. S. research institute.(此外，当一个人改变外观或相机角度不太正确时，还有一些问题需要解决。然而，根据美国一家研究机构的独立测试，它现在正在显著改善)”提到人脸识别能力的改进与提升，C项“It has got 20 times better at finding a match in a database.(它在数据库中查找匹配信息的能力提高了20倍)”用数据进一步说明了其效果，句中“20 times better”与上文“dramatically improving”相照应，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。

In 2013, digital media consultant Baratunde Thurston launched an experiment. He decided to disconnect from his online life for twenty­five days: no Facebook, no Twitter, not even e­mail. He needed the break. __36__
It didn't take him long to adjust to a disconnected life. By the end of that first week, he was less stressed about not knowing new things. __37__ He enjoyed food without Twittering the experience. But the end came too soon. After the twenty­five days, he had to restore his online presence.
His experiment summarizes two important points about our relationship with social networks like Facebook and Twitter. The first point is that we increasingly recognize that these tools fragment(碎裂) our time and reduce our ability to concentrate. __38__ But the problem is especially serious if you're attempting to improve your ability to work deeply.
To fight back against these distractions, Thurston felt his only option was to quit the Internet altogether. But the problem is that no one is meant to actually follow Thurston's lead. __39__ That is to accept our current distracted state as unavoidable. This brings me to the second point summarized by Thurston's story: it didn't take him long once the experiment ended to slide back into the fragmented state where he began.
This rule proposes a third option: accepting that these tools might be vital to your success and happiness, but meanwhile accepting that most people should be using fewer such tools. I won't ask you, in other words, to quit the Internet altogether like Thurston did. __40__ There is a middle ground, and if you're to develop a deep work habit, you must fight to get there.
A. He struck up conversations with strangers.
B. It is a real problem for many different people.
C. “I was burnt out, fried, and done，” he explained.
D. This reality accounts for the remaining alternative.
E. He had to return to the online world with books to market.
F. But I'll ask you to reject the state of highly distracted connectedness.
G. Fortunately, you will break the habit of surfin

What's really green?
Most of us are aware that we must take care of the environment, and the majority of us take steps to save energy and reduce waste and pollution. But recently, some "green truths" have been shown to be only half true, or even completely false. 36
Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones.
Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals, which mistake them for food. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down, but much less time for paper. Because of this, people think paper bags are the better environmental choice.
However, making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag and up to three times the amount of water. 37 In fact, both kinds of bags are bad for the environment. So, take a reusable bag with you when you go shopping.
38
It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. 39 It is the production of food, not its transport, that uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases. In some cases, local produce might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than produce grown a long way away-even taking into account its transport.
It's better to take a shower than a bath.
40 If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, you'll use as much water as in a bath-about 50 litres of water. Therefore, the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible.
Environmental awareness is now part of daily life. But it's worth checking common ideas and opinions to see what's really green.
A. So say no to plastic bags.
B. Here are some common ones.
C. Unfortunately, it is not that simple.
D. Eating local food is good for the environment.
E. The process also produces more greenhouse gases.
F. It's time that we took measures to protect our environment.
C. It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is.

When cultural heritage sites disappear, they’re gone forever. However, they are being endangered at an alarming rate by rising seas (Venice), pollution (the Taj Mahal) and overtourism (Angkor Wat). Just to name a few.
But when we try to protect these heritage sites, we also have to face such thorny questions as “What part of the past is worth preserving and passing on to the next generations? What duty do we owe to the creations of our ancestors? What strength do we draw from their presence—and when, on the contrary, do they become a lead weight, preventing us from projecting ourselves into the future?”.
Humankind has answered these difficult questions differently in different places. In Dresden, Germany, the Frauenkirche was an 18th century church whose bell- shaped top was a landmark. In February, 1945, one of the most destructive bombing attacks of World War II killed more than 25, 000 people and reduced the city to ruins. As Dresden slowly rebuilt after the war, the Frauenkirche was left in ruins. But after German reunification, the church was reconstructed using many of its original materials, as a statement of peace and harmony.
Like the Frauenkircbe, Notre Dame, a landmark in Paris, which was destroyed by fire in 2019, is being rebuilt as close as possible to how it was before, including using the original and poisonous metal lead for the roof. That choice was controversial, as future choices are bound to be in the debate about how to restore and preserve historic buildings.
Perhaps, no one can claim to have the right answers on preservation. There may not even be right answers. What we will do is to continue to take care of important cultural heritage sites, as a matter of significance to humanity’s past, present and future.
12. Which heritage site is suffering from too many visitors?
A. Venice. B. Dresden. C. The Taj Mahal. D. Angkor Wat.
13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “thorny” in paragraph 2?
A. Tough. B. Smart. C. Interesting. D. Important.
14. What does the author dislike about the rebuilding of Notre Dame?
A. The high rebuilding costs. B. The timing of reconstruction.
C. The choice of certain material. D. The significance of preservation.
15. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. We should protect as many heritage sites as possible.
B. It is better to leave the damaged historic buildings alone.
C. Historic buildings should be rebuilt with the same materials.
D. Heritage sites serve as an important link among human beings.
【12~15题答案】
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲的是我们在保护文化遗产时要如何做出正确的选择。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“However, they are being endangered at an alarming rate by rising seas (Venice), pollution (the Taj Mahal) and overtourism (Angkor Wat).(然而，它们正以惊人的速度受到海平面上升（威尼斯）、污染（泰姬陵）和过度旅游（吴哥窟）的威胁)”可知，正遭受游客过多的困扰的是吴哥窟，故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段的“Humankind has answered these difficult questions differently in different places.(人类在不同的地方对这些难题有不同的回答)”可知，第二段的“such thorny questions as”后所列举的问题是难题，因此划线词thorny的意思是“困难的”，和Tough意思相近，故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Like the Frauenkircbe, Notre Dame, a landmark in Paris, which was destroyed by fire in 2019, is being rebuilt as close as possible to how it was before, including using the original and poisonous metal—lead—for the roof. That choice was controversial(与圣母大教堂一样，2019年被大火烧毁的巴黎地标性建筑巴黎圣母院正在尽可能接近其之前的样子进行重建，包括使用原始的有毒金属铅作为屋顶。这个选择是有争议的)”可知，作者不喜欢重建巴黎圣母院的材料的选择，故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“What we will do is to continue to take care of important cultural heritage sites, as a matter of significance to humanity s past, present and future.(我们将继续保护对人类的过去、现在和未来都具有重要意义的重要文化遗产)”可推断出，作者在文中似乎要传达的信息是遗产是人类之间的重要纽带。故选D。

2022届黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市高三第二次模拟考试
We all know at least one person shows confidence and grace (优雅) without working at it. ____16____, make sure to avoid the following common body-language errors.
Slouching (佝背)
Slouching is a huge no-no. ____17____. It may be caused by our habit of sitting in front of computers for long periods, but as soon as you get up from your chair, it’s time to straighten out that back. Try squaring out your chest slightly while keeping your shoulders back.
Weak Handshaking
It’s programmed in our. minds to consider somebody with a weak handshake as untrustworthy. Unfortunately, there’s no way around it—you either have a firm handshake and appear trustworthy or you don’t. It’s not a good idea to have a crushing (太用力的) handshake, either. ____18____
Rolling Your Eyes
This is the classic way of showing discomfort or anger. ____19____, but your partner will definitely feel offended by your way of letting them know what they said isn’t worth a second thought.
Leaning (倾斜) Back
____20____. It shows that you’re not threatening. However, there’s a fine line between leaning back right and leaning back wrong. If done incorrectly, you’ll appear to be uninterested in what your partner has to say. It’s better to play it safe and keep a straight back.
A. So try to stand straight
B. If you want your body to make the same impression
C. Sitting backward a bit can be good for your conversation
D. All cultures are different in terms of proper social conduct
E. But it’s one of the most commonly made body- language errors
F. It can feel good to respond to a silly statement by rolling your eyes
G. You can respond with similar amount of pressure that your shaking partner gives
【16~20题答案】
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. G 19. F 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是一些错误的肢体语言和纠正方法。
【16题详解】
空格前说“We all know at least one person shows confidence and grace (优雅) without working at it.(我们都知道，至少有一个人不用努力就能表现出自信和优雅)”，空格后说“make sure to avoid the following common body-language errors.(一定要避免以下常见的肢体语言错误)”，这说明空格处应说如果你也想像人家那样就按照下面的做，B选项“If you want your body to make the same impression(如果你想让你的身体给人留下同样的印象)”承上启下，说明如果想让自己也和别人一样优雅就要避免以下常见的肢体语言错误，因此B选项符合语境。故选B。
【17题详解】
空格前说“Slouching is a huge no-no.(佝背是绝对不可以的)”，空格后说“It may be caused by our habit of sitting in front of computers for long periods, but as soon as you get up from your chair, it’s time to straighten out that back.(这可能是由于我们长时间坐在电脑前的习惯造成的，但一旦你从椅子上站起来，就该把背部拉直了)”，空格处应说明佝背非常常见，接下来空格后解释原因，因此E选项“But it’s one of the most commonly made body-language errors(但这是最常犯的肢体语言错误之一)”承上启下，符合语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
空格前说“It’s not a good idea to have a crushing (太用力的) handshake, either.(握手时用力过猛也不是个好主意)”，空格处应说正确的握手应该是怎么做，G选项“You can respond with similar amount of pressure that your shaking partner gives(你可以用和你握手的同伴相同的压力来回应)”说明了握手的正确的力度，因此G选项承上启下，符合语境。故选G。
【19题详解】
本段主题句是“Rolling Your Eyes(翻白眼)”，空格后说“but your partner will definitely feel offended by your way of letting them know what they said isn’t worth a second thought.(但你的同伴肯定会因为你让他们知道他们说的话不值得再想而感到被冒犯)”，but表转折，因此空格处要说的是和“feel offended”相反的内容，F选项“It can feel good to respond to a silly statement by rolling your eyes(用翻白眼来回应一句愚蠢的话会让你感觉很好)”表示的内容和空格后的相反，翻白眼只是让自己感觉好，但是却给他人会有不好的感觉，因此F选项承上启下，符合语境。故选F。
【20题详解】
空格后说“It shows that you’re not threatening.(这表明你没有威胁性)”，因此空格处应提到一种让你看起来不那么有威胁性的动作，C选项“Sitting backward a bit can be good for your conversation(向后坐一点对你的谈话有好处)”描述的往后坐的动作会让人看起来不那么有威胁性，且其中的“Sitting backward”和小标题的“Leaning (倾斜) Back”相呼应，因此C选项引起下文，符合语境。故选C。

江西省上饶市六校2022届高三第二次联考
According to Dr. Shaison P. Ouseph, there are three main types of artificial intelligence: Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). ANI is the only type of artificial intelligence we have successfully realized to date.
The idea of the world being controlled by self-thinking robots who want to destroy humanity is still much in science fiction, more than science fact. Some experts think that AGI and ASI are now still out of our reach, so we don’t need to worry too much about that specific situation.
However, that is not to say that AI won’t ever seriously threaten our world and society if used incorrectly. AI could easily be programmed to do something damaging. On the other hand, AI is already taking over the world in the fields of medicine and manufacturing. Many of these could change technology and industry to benefit our lives if implemented (实施) responsibly. But as we use these new systems, we must stay ahead in terms of regulating new technologies where there is potential to do harm.
For now, the greatest concern we face with regard to ANI technologies, is the situation of efficient automation causing many human jobs to become no longer needed. So we need to start thinking seriously now about how young people are going to live with these technologies.
The world is going to move forward in one direction or another. ANI is here to stay for the foreseeable future, and it’s the youth of today who are going to define the use of these technologies. Yet, there is relatively little research and information about how AI will influence young people and their transition into a world where life is changing. “This is what my team will focus on,” said Dr. Shaison.
As new systems progress we need to safeguard what is fundamentally important to human life, and make sure that our youth will continue to have autonomy (自主权) regarding their well- being and have more opportunities for success than previous generations.
28. What does the author think of robots taking over the world?
A. It is a branch of ANI. B. It is rooted in science fact.
C. It is just impossible at present. D. It should cause people great concern.
29. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 3?
A. AI can be easily programmed and used.
B. AI development needs more creative design.
C. We should be cautious about the influence of AI.
D. We should be confident and trust AI in many fields.
30. What should people be most concerned about regarding ANI?
A. The efficiency of AI machines. B. The loss of jobs in the market.
C. The direction of AI technologies. D. The guarantee of human well-being.
31. What will Dr Shaison’s research focus on in the future?
A. Necessity of AI to human life.
B. Youths’ adaptation to future AI.
C. Opportunities for the young generation.
D. Humanity problems caused by AI technologies.
【28~31题答案】
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了AI技术与青年未来发展的关系。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“The idea of the world being controlled by self-thinking robots who want to destroy humanity is still much in science fiction, more than science fact. Some experts think that AGI and ASI are now still out of our reach, so we don’t need to worry too much about that specific situation. (这个世界被想毁灭人类的自我思考机器人控制的想法，在科幻小说中仍然存在，在科学事实中不存在。一些专家认为，AGI和ASI现在仍在我们的能力范围之外，所以我们不需要太担心这种具体情况)”可知，作者认为机器人控制世界的情形仅存在于科幻电影中，目前不需要过度担心，因此该情况目前仍不可能实现。故选C项。
【29题详解】

The huge billboard at the side of the highway is no joke; transporting firewood in certain areas is a crime, punishable by a four-thousand-dollar fine. The reason? Emerald Ash Borer disease, or EAB disease, a new addition to the long list of dangerous foreign pest infestations（虫害）on American soil. It was in 2002 when the Emerald Ash Borer beetle（甲虫）was first discovered in Michigan. Not long after, the pest was found in Ohio. Originally from Asia, this green beetle probably found its way to North America through a wooden box made of ash wood and immediately settled into a local ash tree. In little time, the species managed to kill millions of ash trees.
To date, much work is underway to stop ash trees ending up in the same group as elm and chestnut trees, which are all dying out in many areas. Ash Borer Infestations are particularly troublesome because they are difficult to identify until the ash tree is heavily infested. In addition, other ash trees in the area surrounding the source will probably also be infested, making control a hard task.
Researchers are working on many issues related to the control and removal of this harmful beetle. For example, it has been discovered that Asian ash trees are not destroyed by this native borer. It may be that, Asian ash trees have developed genes（基因）to protect them from the insect; therein, perhaps, lies the secret to controlling this pest. Insecticide（杀虫剂）treatment is also being explored on several fronts. Research is underway to determine which insecticides are proving to be the most successful. The proper application of the insecticides is being debated.
However, all possible solutions require a great deal of study and research. In the meantime, careful steps must be taken. Methodical identification of infested trees is taking place. Identified trees are being cut down and destroyed to get rid of the beetle colonies（群）. In the end, this puts a huge drain（消耗）on city budgets, as tree removal can be extremely expensive.
Even though it will be expensive to deal with this problem in the short term, the costs of doing nothing could be far higher, since we could lose an entire species of tree.
32. What can we learn about the Emerald Ash Borer beetle?
A. It is a newly found species.
B. It can be used to fight foreign pest infestations.
C. It is native to North America.
D. It can cause damaging harm to American ash trees.
33. What is special about Ash Borer infestations?
A. They affect Asian ash trees most frequently.
B. They are difficult to identify and get rid of.
C. They break out at certain times every year.
D. They spread slowly in a small area.
34. What method is currently used to control EAB disease?
A. Gene activation. B. Insecticide use.
C. Removing infested trees. D. Introducing the beetle’s enemies.
35. Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Healthy trees should be relocated and protected.
B. Protecting the ash tree should be done at any cost.
C. Government budget for tree removal should be cut.
D. Measures that have side effects should be avoided.
【32~35题答案】
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了由外来物种引发的EAB病在北美洲的情况及其应对措施。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“a new addition to the long list of dangerous foreign pest infestations on American soil”(美国领土上的外国害虫危险名单上又多了一个新成员)和“In little time, the species managed to kill millions of ash trees”(在很短的时间内，这个物种成功地杀死了数百万棵白蜡树)可知，Emerald Ash Borer beetle这种外来物种引发的虫害对美国本土造成了极大的破坏，在很短的时间内，该物种就杀死了数百万棵白蜡树。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“because they are difficult to identify until the ash tree is heavily infested”(因为在白蜡树被大量寄生之前，很难辨认它们的身份)和“other ash trees in the area surrounding the source will probably also be infested, making control a hard task”(源头周围的其他白蜡树可能也会被感染，这使得控制变得很困难)可知，EAB这种虫害早期不易识别且难以控制。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Identified trees are being cut down and destroyed”(已确认的树木正在被砍伐和摧毁)可知，为控制EAB虫害，目前采取的措施是将患病的树木砍伐并移除。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even though it will be expensive to deal with this problem in the short term, the costs of doing nothing could be far higher, since we could lose an entire species of tree.”(尽管在短期内解决这个问题代价高昂，但无所作为的代价可能会高得多，因为我们可能会失去整个树种。)可知，作者认为尽管在短期内解决虫害问题的成本很高，但比起失去整个树种的代价，目前的成本都是值得的，因此作者应该会支持尽全力保护白蜡树这一树种。故选B。
