The best places for wild sleeping in England and Wales
Challacombe Meadows, Devon
Best for: privacy
Challacombe Meadows is close to miles of walking trails near Widecombe. Basic toilet facilities and running water are a short walk away, and there's a cosy pub and a farm shop also nearby, for when it's time to return to civilization. Tents from £ 45 per tent.
Bush Farm, Cornwall
Best for: freedom of choice
At Bush Farm, campers are offered the freedom of choice. Map in hand, you can put up your tent wherever you please. Days can be spent wild swimming, wandering through the countryside and, come the evening, there's star gazing beneath ink-black skies. Tents from £12 per person.
The Wildman Woods, Carmarthenshire
Best for: life on the riverbanks
At this little-known site, you can put your tent on the banks of the River Sawdde. The Wildman Woods are as simple as they sound, with leafy pitches scattered among the trees near the water. During the day, it's the perfect place for a paddle. Tents from £10 per person.
Penrhos Isaf Bothy, Gwyned

The daughter of a romantic poet and occasional freedom fighter, Ada Lovelace had a famous but absent father. She never knew Lord Byron, as just weeks after her birth in 1815, he divorced her mother Isabella Milbanke Byron and left to fight in the Greek War of Independence. In an effort to prevent Ada from developing her father's unpredictable temper, Isabella decided that her daughter should devote her life to study.
Ada studied hard despite the fact that society did not encourage women pursuing interests in science. Her life changed when she met inventor Charles Babbage at a party. As he demonstrated a working section of his mechanical calculator, Ada was taken in by how it worked and wanted to know more. Impressed by the 17-year-old's obvious passion, Babbage became her tutor. Ada married in 1835 and became a mother, but she continued to take an active interest in study, socialising in intellectual circles with the likes of Charles Dickens and Michael Faraday.
Ada stayed in contact with Babbage, who in 1837 had proposed a new machine, the analytical engine. In 1843, Ada was asked to translate a French text written by engineer Luigi Menabrea about Babbage's new design. After completing the translation, Ada was encouraged by Babbage to write her own notes on his work.
After nine months of hard work, Ada presented Babbage with a detailed list of notes that was three times longer than the original article. In her calculations, Ada wrote what are considered the first ever computer algorithms to be used in a new type of machine. She essentially provided the first ideas for computer programming in what was a groundbreaking proposal on the potential of computers.
Ada died of cancer aged only 36 and her work was largely recognised until the 1950s when her notes were republished. In 1979 the US Department of Defence named a programming language ‘Ada’ in her honour.
24. What can we learn about Ada from the first paragraph?
A. She had a devoted father.
B. Her mother raised her up alone.
C. She had an unpredictable temper.
D. Her parents divorced before her birth.
25. Who aroused her interest in mathematics and computer engineering?
A. Charles Dickens. B. Michael Faraday.
C. Luigi Menabrea. D. Charles Babbage.
26. Which words can best describe Ada?
A. Modest and outgoing. B. Talented and diligent.
C. Generous and considerate. D. Determined and independent.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Ada's notes were published only once.
B. Ada named a programming language after herself.
C. Ada earned a reputation nearly a century after her death.
D. Ada's work was largely recognized when she was alive.
C
One of the most curious features of the modern world is the manner in which design has been widely transformed into something meaningless. But I want to argue design should be the crucial block on which the human environment is shaped and constructed for the betterment and delight of all.
Not surprisingly, in the absence of widespread agreement about its significance and value, much confusion surrounds design practice. In some subject areas, authors can assume common ground with readers. Other subject areas can be so difficult that ho such mutual understanding exists.
Design sits uncomfortably between these two extremes. As a word it is common enough, but it is full of disharmony, has innumerable manifestations （表现）, and lacks boundaries that give clarity and definition. As a practice, design generates vast quantities of material, much of it ephemeral, only a small proportion of which has sustained quality.
So how can design be understood in a meaningful sense? Design is one of the basic characteristics of what it is to be human, and an essential determinant of the quality of human life. If things are a necessary part of our existence, why are they often done so badly? There is no simple answer. Cost factors are sometimes advanced, but the remove between doing something well or badly can be exceedingly small, and cost factors can in fact be reduced by appropriate design inputs.
This book is based on a belief that design matters profoundly to us all in innumerable ways and represents an area of huge, underutilized potential in life. It sets out to explore some reasons why this is so and to suggest some possibilities of change. The intention is to extend the range of what is understood by the term, and examine the depth of design practice as it affects everyday life in a diversity of cultures.
28. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The causes of confusion. B. The significance of design.
C. The differences in subjects. D. The common ground in people.
29. What does the underlined word “ephemeral” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Meaningful. B. Enormous. C. Short-lived. D. Hard-wearing.
30. What do we know about design?
A. Design is just about arts or trends.
B. Cost factors account for inadequate design.
C. The author argues that design is meaningless .
D. Very few are incapable of improvement by proper design.
31. What is the book aimed at?
A. Reducing design inputs.
B. Persisting in meaningful design practices.
C. Denying previous conception of design.
D. Clarifying the confusion surrounding design.
D
The sales pitches tempt: Blue-light-blocking glasses are supposed to protect eyes from the effects of short-wavelength light emitting from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given how much time we spend on our devices, this sounds like a smart investment, right? After all, eye strain is a real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even eye diseases. The glasses can cost $15 all the way up to several hundred dollars. But do they work?
Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist （眼科专家） based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that manufacturers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing. For starters, blue light is not just about tech devices, and it's not always bad. "The sun emits a much higher intensity of blue light than human-made devices, of course, and it's actually beneficial, " says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood, alertness and sleep-wake cycle.
The problem is blue light at night: It contains the release of melatonin. "Melatonin helps regulate our circadian rhythms （生理节奏）and makes us sleepy, "says Dr. Esparaz.
So, in theory, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a tablet at night avoid sleeplessness. A 2021 review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jet lag and shift work fell asleep faster after using these glasses.
As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. And a 2018 review study, also by Australian researchers, found insufficient evidence that they prevent certain eye diseases.
"These glasses aren't going to be harmful, ” says Dr. Esparaz, But, she adds, a lack of standardization in the industry means there's no way to know if one pair is better than another. A more reliable solution: Turn on the blue-light-filtering function on your devices and limit screen time before bed. To help with eye strain, Dr. Esparaz suggests taking breaks and using lubricating eye drops.
32. What is Dr. Esparaz's attitude toward business publicity?
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
33. What can we learn about blue light from the first two paragraphs?
A. It can be beneficial. B. It may facilitate sleep.
C. It actually causes health issues. D. It merely comes from digital devices.
34. Australian studies found that wearing blue-light-blocking glasses
A. helps prevent eye disease B. are not harmful to eyesight
C. contributes to no less eye strain D. benefits those with sleep disorders
35. What might be the best title of this passage?
A. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Your Best Choice
B. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Good or Bad
C. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: A Good Business
D. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Smart and Cool

第二节（满分 25 分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The emergency doctor stood at the foot of my husband's hospital bed, holding the test results and a diagnosis — Acute Myeloid Leukemia（骨髓白血病）. He said to my husband, “Well move you to the leukemia floor. You'll be here at least a month. ”
A month! My mind started spinning. My mom had fought breast cancer. My aunt had lung cancer. Both had died. But neither had been in hospital for a month! Exactly how bad was my husband's diagnosis? And how were we going to struggle for a month? It was March. The end of a school year was approaching. My days with my high school students were limited. How could I prepare four weeks of lesson plans and hand them over to a substitute teacher? A month! Could we afford being in the hospital that long? Our insurance was good, but we'd still have to pay our part of the medical expenses. My meals wouldn't be covered, and parking was so expensive! My head couldn't do the math. I drove home, filled with countless worries. Even though the parking pass would be a significant discount, I couldn't help but feel bothered by the cost throughout the drive.
The next morning, I packed the car with everything needed for our hospital stay and headed to school to see my students. Because we live in a small community, they would have heard about my husband's diagnosis. I would assure them that my husband would be fine, and that I would be fine, too. I'd encourage them to be their best selves for the substitute-and for me—while I was on family leave.
When I entered my classroom, the chatter stopped. I put on a smile and continued to my podium（讲台）. Sitting on top was a green envelope with "Mrs. Sargent" written on it. I looked over the frames of my glasses at twenty-eight faces, some smiling, some trying to re- sist. “What is this?” I asked. I picked up the envelope, and continued, "You guys…”
注意：（1）续写词数应为150 左右；
（2）开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
When I opened the envelope, coins and dollar bills fell out — fives, tens, twenties.
Paragraph 2:
As an adult in the room, I felt guilty and unwilling to accept these teenagers' hard-earned money, but I decided to accept it. 黄冈市2023年高三年级9月调研考试
英语试题答案
英语答案解析
阅读理解
A篇 主题：应用文—人与自然
原文出处：
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/best-places-wild-sleeping-camping-england-wales
21. A 细节理解。 根据“Challacombe Meadows, Devon”这一段中“Best for privacy”可知正确答案是A。
22. C 细节理解。 根据关键词 “Bush Farm, Cornwall”定位到第二段，可知在此处是野外游泳，并且可以乡间漫步，夜间还可以观星。去酒吧只能是在“Challacombe Meadows, Devon”实现。故选C。
23. D 细节理解。 看标题可知，本文是介绍最适合野外露营地地方，所以D正确。A选项错误，只有最后一个地方才是免费。B选项不对，只有“The Wildman Woods, Carmarthenshire”最适合划船戏水。C不对，因为只有“Penrhos Isaf Bothy, Gwyned”这里曾经充当过山间避难处。
B篇 主题：记叙文—人与社会
原文出处：https://www.howitworksdaily.com/heros-of-technology-ada-lovelace/
24. B 推理判断。 从第一段中“She never knew Lord Byron, as just weeks after her birth in 1815, he divorced her mother Isabella Milbanke Byron and left to fight in the Greek War of Independence.”可知，Ada从未见过自己的父亲，她是由母亲独自抚养长大的。
25. D 细节理解。 从第二段中“Her life changed when she met inventor Charles Babbage at a party. As he demonstrated a working section of his mechanical calculator, Ada was taken in by how it worked and wanted to know more. Impressed by the 17-year-old’s obvious passion, Babbage became her tutor.”可知是Charles Babbage改变了她的生活，激起了她对数学和计算机工程的兴趣。
26. B 推理判断。 从第二段“Ada studied hard despite the fact that society did not encourage women pursuing interests in science”可知，Ada 在学习上很刻苦，和第四段中“Ada wrote what are considered the first ever computer algorithms to be used in a new type of machine. She essentially provided the first ideas for computer programming in what was a groundbreaking proposal on the potential of computers.”可知，她在笔记中提出了计算机编程的第一个想法，是一个关于计算机潜力的开创性建议，说明她极有天赋。
27. C 推理判断。从最后一段看，A选项错误，1950年她的笔记被再次出版。B选项不对，以她的名字命名一门编程语言的是美国国防部。“her work was largely recognised until the 1950s when her notes were republished”可知，她出生于1815年，1950年她的笔记被重新出版，也就是她死后快一个世纪的时候，她的贡献才广为人知，故D错误，选C。
C篇 主题：说明文—人与社会
文章出处：
节选自Design：A Very Short Introduction《设计：无处不在/牛津通识读本》，作者John Heskett。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对设计的正确解读和如何追求更好的设计。
28. A 主旨大意。 根据文章第二段“Not surprisingly, in the absence of widespread agreement about its significance and value, much confusion surrounds design practice. (毫不奇怪，在其意义和价值的广泛一致认同缺失的情况下，许多混乱围绕着设计实践。)” 可知，不同领域对设计的不同理解导致的混乱。故选A。
29. C 词义猜测。 根据划线词下文“only a small proportion of which has sustained quality (只有一小部分具有持久的质量）”可推知，划线词“ephemeral”的意思是“短暂存在的”，作为一种实践，设计产生了大量的材料，其中大部分是短暂的。故选C。
30. D 推理判断。 通过文章第四段“Design is one of the basic characteristics of what it is to be human, and an essential determinant of the quality of human life. If things are a necessary part of our existence, why are they often done so badly? There is no simple answer. Cost factors are sometimes advanced, but the margin between doing something well or badly can be exceedingly small, and cost factors can in fact be reduced by appropriate design inputs. (设计是人类生活质量的基本特征之一，也是人类生活质量的基本决定因素。如果事物是我们存在的必要组成部分，为什么它们经常做得如此糟糕？没有一个简单的答案。成本因素有时是先进的，但把事情做得好或做得不好之间的差距可能非常小，而成本因素实际上可以通过适当的设计投入来降低。)”可推知，很多方面都可以通过适当的设计而有所改善。故选D。
31. B 细节理解。 通过文章最后一段“ The intention is to extend the spectrum of what is understood by the term，and examine the breadth of design practice as it affects everyday life in a diversity of cultures. (其意图是扩大“设计”一词所理解的范围，审查设计实践的广度，因为它影响到文化多样性中的日常生活。)”可推知，这本书的目的是为了追寻更好的设计操作。故选B。
D篇 主题：说明文—人与社会
文章出处：选自Readers Digest USA - June 2023--Seeing Blue BY Diane Peters
本文是一篇说明文。文章通过提出问题--分析问题--提出解决方案的方式解答了蓝光眼镜是否能够起作用，并给出具体应对措施。
32. D 推理判断。 根据文章第二段“Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist(眼科专家) based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that manufacturers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing. (总部位于俄亥俄州克利夫兰市的眼科医生伊丽莎白·埃斯帕拉兹说，制造商在推广这些眼镜时所分享的科学知识可能会让人感到困惑。)”可知，商家宣传的理论是受到质疑的。故选D。
33. A推理判断。 通过文章第二段“The sun emits a much higher intensity of blue light than human-made devices, of course, and it’s actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz (当然，太阳发出的蓝光强度比人造设备要强得多，而且它实际上是有益的，” 埃斯帕拉兹博士说。)可推知，太阳散发出的蓝光是有益的。故选A。
34. C 细节理解。 根据文章第五段第一句“As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. ” (至于眼睛疲劳，2021年澳大利亚的一项研究表明，戴眼镜的人并不比戴透明眼镜的人经历的眼睛疲劳小。)可推知，戴蓝光眼镜并不会减少眼疲劳。故选C。

七选五 文章出处：https://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Better-Person
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了自我提升的一些好的建议。
36. G 空前提到生活可能是责任和压力的旋风，但有了正确的关注点，能让你在不同的方面成为一个更好的人，空后提到了继续阅读下去来了解自我提升之旅.因此，G选项符合语境，即这里每天都有不同的事可以来提升自己.
37. E 本段是对段落主旨的考察。根据本段的think about what you want in life以及write down the short and long-term goals 可知本段讲的是设置目标。E选项中Positive aspiration与本段主题“设置目标”相符合。且选项中something to thrive for 与本段的something make you a happier and better person 相呼应，故E选项符合语境。
38. B 空前提到让自己有时间原谅你过去的错误，并认识到他们教给你的东西，后面提到也许你可能无法忘记他们做了什么，可知B选项符合语境，即原谅那些伤害过你的人。
39. A 空前提到你周围的人通常是快乐的还是悲伤的？空后提到回答这些问题并分析与他们之间的互动可以帮助您发现和完善您的弱点。故可推断可知，空白处应该与与朋友之间的互动有关，故A选项（朋友会向你寻求帮助或建议吗？）承上启下，符合语境。
40. F 由Imagine what someone’s been through. Empathy is one of the first steps to....可知本段讲的是“培养同理心”，根据空前所提到的培养同理心不仅能够帮助你对他人更加敏感，还能帮助你建立更加持久的关系，减少孤立感，可是此处是在讲培养同理心的好处，F选项 “同情心可以帮助你在你的观点受到挑战时同时获得朋友”是对这一好处的补充。

When I went down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I’d love being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want.
W: You mean you don’t keep regular hours?
M: Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business is slower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early.
W: Have you hired any employees to work with you yet?
M: Yeah, some of my friends who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week.
W: Thank you, Mr. Smith. We wish you success in your new business.

Hello there, the journalist and presenter as well as author, our colleague, George Alagiah has died. He was 67. He was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2014 and in recent years used his voice to champion better NHS screening for the disease. In many ways, he was a pioneer in British broadcast journalism. Born in Sri Lanka, he was one of the first people of color working for a major UK broadcaster to report extensively on the part of the world that became known as the Global South, shining a light on the ordinary lives of millions of people, especially perhaps in Africa whose everyday lives were often ignored or relegated to the inside pages of newspapers. The BBC director general Tim Davies said today that George was more than just an outstanding journalist. Audiences could sense his kindness, empathy and wonderful humanity. Our special reporter Ann Little now looks back at a brilliant life of storytelling and adventure.

第一节：
In recent years, the trend of building “pocket parks” has become popular in many cities. “Pocket Parks” is a term that refers to small, urban parks created in limited spaces within the city.
Pocket parks bring numerous benefits to our community from various perspectives. Firstly, they contribute to the economy by attracting visitors and stimulating local businesses. Additionally, pocket parks play a vital role in improving the life quality of residents. These small paradises offer a welcome escape from our busy city life. Furthermore, pocket parks have significant environmental benefits. They help to prevent urban heat island effects by providing shade, reducing temperatures and improving air quality.
In conclusion, pocket parks have many advantages for our cities. Let us embrace a greener lifestyle and make use of these parks, appreciating the beauty of nature right at our doorstep.
第二节：
When I opened the envelope, coins and dollar bills fell out--fives, tens, twenties. At that moment, my throat tightened with emotion and I understood the meaning behind their excited faces. An overwhelming sense of pride from them washed over me. Should I take it? My brain was spinning fast. Seeing the money that the students raised, I couldn’t help but wonder another question: How had these kids collected so much money? I could even imagine the countless hours they had spent working odd jobs, determined to save every penny to help me. Therefore, deep within my heart, there was a firm voice, “I can’t take it”.
As an adult in the room, I felt guilty and unwilling to accept these teenagers hard-earned money, but I decided to accept it. I tightly held up the cash and my voice trembled as I told them how I was bothered by the cost of parking. “Kids, you just covered my parking cost for the month.” But that’s not the real reason why I accepted it. With tears of gratitude welling up in my eyes, I hugged each student tightly. More important than the envelope was the kindness in their hearts and the lesson they had taught themselves: how wonderful it feels to meet someone’s needs and to make a difference. Through their small act of kindness, these teenagers have shown me their growth and they are not ignorant children, but young individuals with wisdom and kindness in their hearts.

The best places for wild sleeping in England and Wales
Challacombe Meadows, Devon
Best for: privacy
Challacombe Meadows is close to miles of walking trails near Widecombe. Basic toilet facilities and running water are a short walk away, and there's a cosy pub and a farm shop also nearby, for when it's time to return to civilization. Tents from £ 45 per tent.
Bush Farm, Cornwall
Best for: freedom of choice
At Bush Farm, campers are offered the freedom of choice. Map in hand, you can put up your tent wherever you please. Days can be spent wild swimming, wandering through the countryside and, come the evening, there's star gazing beneath ink-black skies. Tents from £12 per person.
The Wildman Woods, Carmarthenshire
Best for: life on the riverbanks
At this little-known site, you can put your tent on the banks of the River Sawdde. The Wildman Woods are as simple as they sound, with leafy pitches scattered among the trees near the water. During the day, it's the perfect place for a paddle. Tents from £10 per person.
Penrhos Isaf Bothy, Gwyned

The daughter of a romantic poet and occasional freedom fighter, Ada Lovelace had a famous but absent father. She never knew Lord Byron, as just weeks after her birth in 1815, he divorced her mother Isabella Milbanke Byron and left to fight in the Greek War of Independence. In an effort to prevent Ada from developing her father's unpredictable temper, Isabella decided that her daughter should devote her life to study.
Ada studied hard despite the fact that society did not encourage women pursuing interests in science. Her life changed when she met inventor Charles Babbage at a party. As he demonstrated a working section of his mechanical calculator, Ada was taken in by how it worked and wanted to know more. Impressed by the 17-year-old's obvious passion, Babbage became her tutor. Ada married in 1835 and became a mother, but she continued to take an active interest in study, socialising in intellectual circles with the likes of Charles Dickens and Michael Faraday.
Ada stayed in contact with Babbage, who in 1837 had proposed a new machine, the analytical engine. In 1843, Ada was asked to translate a French text written by engineer Luigi Menabrea about Babbage's new design. After completing the translation, Ada was encouraged by Babbage to write her own notes on his work.
After nine months of hard work, Ada presented Babbage with a detailed list of notes that was three times longer than the original article. In her calculations, Ada wrote what are considered the first ever computer algorithms to be used in a new type of machine. She essentially provided the first ideas for computer programming in what was a groundbreaking proposal on the potential of computers.
Ada died of cancer aged only 36 and her work was largely recognised until the 1950s when her notes were republished. In 1979 the US Department of Defence named a programming language ‘Ada’ in her honour.
24. What can we learn about Ada from the first paragraph?
A. She had a devoted father.
B. Her mother raised her up alone.
C. She had an unpredictable temper.
D. Her parents divorced before her birth.
25. Who aroused her interest in mathematics and computer engineering?
A. Charles Dickens. B. Michael Faraday.
C. Luigi Menabrea. D. Charles Babbage.
26. Which words can best describe Ada?
A. Modest and outgoing. B. Talented and diligent.
C. Generous and considerate. D. Determined and independent.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Ada's notes were published only once.
B. Ada named a programming language after herself.
C. Ada earned a reputation nearly a century after her death.
D. Ada's work was largely recognized when she was alive.
C
One of the most curious features of the modern world is the manner in which design has been widely transformed into something meaningless. But I want to argue design should be the crucial block on which the human environment is shaped and constructed for the betterment and delight of all.
Not surprisingly, in the absence of widespread agreement about its significance and value, much confusion surrounds design practice. In some subject areas, authors can assume common ground with readers. Other subject areas can be so difficult that ho such mutual understanding exists.
Design sits uncomfortably between these two extremes. As a word it is common enough, but it is full of disharmony, has innumerable manifestations （表现）, and lacks boundaries that give clarity and definition. As a practice, design generates vast quantities of material, much of it ephemeral, only a small proportion of which has sustained quality.
So how can design be understood in a meaningful sense? Design is one of the basic characteristics of what it is to be human, and an essential determinant of the quality of human life. If things are a necessary part of our existence, why are they often done so badly? There is no simple answer. Cost factors are sometimes advanced, but the remove between doing something well or badly can be exceedingly small, and cost factors can in fact be reduced by appropriate design inputs.
This book is based on a belief that design matters profoundly to us all in innumerable ways and represents an area of huge, underutilized potential in life. It sets out to explore some reasons why this is so and to suggest some possibilities of change. The intention is to extend the range of what is understood by the term, and examine the depth of design practice as it affects everyday life in a diversity of cultures.
28. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The causes of confusion. B. The significance of design.
C. The differences in subjects. D. The common ground in people.
29. What does the underlined word “ephemeral” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Meaningful. B. Enormous. C. Short-lived. D. Hard-wearing.
30. What do we know about design?
A. Design is just about arts or trends.
B. Cost factors account for inadequate design.
C. The author argues that design is meaningless .
D. Very few are incapable of improvement by proper design.
31. What is the book aimed at?
A. Reducing design inputs.
B. Persisting in meaningful design practices.
C. Denying previous conception of design.
D. Clarifying the confusion surrounding design.
D
The sales pitches tempt: Blue-light-blocking glasses are supposed to protect eyes from the effects of short-wavelength light emitting from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given how much time we spend on our devices, this sounds like a smart investment, right? After all, eye strain is a real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even eye diseases. The glasses can cost $15 all the way up to several hundred dollars. But do they work?
Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist （眼科专家） based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that manufacturers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing. For starters, blue light is not just about tech devices, and it's not always bad. "The sun emits a much higher intensity of blue light than human-made devices, of course, and it's actually beneficial, " says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood, alertness and sleep-wake cycle.
The problem is blue light at night: It contains the release of melatonin. "Melatonin helps regulate our circadian rhythms （生理节奏）and makes us sleepy, "says Dr. Esparaz.
So, in theory, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a tablet at night avoid sleeplessness. A 2021 review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jet lag and shift work fell asleep faster after using these glasses.
As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. And a 2018 review study, also by Australian researchers, found insufficient evidence that they prevent certain eye diseases.
"These glasses aren't going to be harmful, ” says Dr. Esparaz, But, she adds, a lack of standardization in the industry means there's no way to know if one pair is better than another. A more reliable solution: Turn on the blue-light-filtering function on your devices and limit screen time before bed. To help with eye strain, Dr. Esparaz suggests taking breaks and using lubricating eye drops.
32. What is Dr. Esparaz's attitude toward business publicity?
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
33. What can we learn about blue light from the first two paragraphs?
A. It can be beneficial. B. It may facilitate sleep.
C. It actually causes health issues. D. It merely comes from digital devices.
34. Australian studies found that wearing blue-light-blocking glasses

Pocket Parks in My Eyes
第二节（满分 25 分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The emergency doctor stood at the foot of my husband's hospital bed, holding the test results and a diagnosis — Acute Myeloid Leukemia（骨髓白血病）. He said to my husband, “Well move you to the leukemia floor. You'll be here at least a month. ”
A month! My mind started spinning. My mom had fought breast cancer. My aunt had lung cancer. Both had died. But neither had been in hospital for a month! Exactly how bad was my husband's diagnosis? And how were we going to struggle for a month? It was March. The end of a school year was approaching. My days with my high school students were limited. How could I prepare four weeks of lesson plans and hand them over to a substitute teacher? A month! Could we afford being in the hospital that long? Our insurance was good, but we'd still have to pay our part of the medical expenses. My meals wouldn't be covered, and parking was so expensive! My head couldn't do the math. I drove home, filled with countless worries. Even though the parking pass would be a significant discount, I couldn't help but feel bothered by the cost throughout the drive.
The next morning, I packed the car with everything needed for our hospital stay and headed to school to see my students. Because we live in a small community, they would have heard about my husband's diagnosis. I would assure them that my husband would be fine, and that I would be fine, too. I'd encourage them to be their best selves for the substitute-and for me—while I was on family leave.
When I entered my classroom, the chatter stopped. I put on a smile and continued to my podium（讲台）. Sitting on top was a green envelope with "Mrs. Sargent" written on it. I looked over the frames of my glasses at twenty-eight faces, some smiling, some trying to re- sist. “What is this?” I asked. I picked up the envelope, and continued, "You guys…”
注意：（1）续写词数应为150 左右；
（2）开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
When I opened the envelope, coins and dollar bills fell out — fives, tens, twenties.
Paragraph 2:
As an adult in the room, I felt guilty and unwilling to accept these teenagers' hard-earned money, but I decided to accept it. 黄冈市2023年高三年级9月调研考试
英语试题答案
英语答案解析
阅读理解
A篇 主题：应用文—人与自然
原文出处：
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/best-places-wild-sleeping-camping-england-wales
21. A 细节理解。 根据“Challacombe Meadows, Devon”这一段中“Best for privacy”可知正确答案是A。
22. C 细节理解。 根据关键词 “Bush Farm, Cornwall”定位到第二段，可知在此处是野外游泳，并且可以乡间漫步，夜间还可以观星。去酒吧只能是在“Challacombe Meadows, Devon”实现。故选C。
23. D 细节理解。 看标题可知，本文是介绍最适合野外露营地地方，所以D正确。A选项错误，只有最后一个地方才是免费。B选项不对，只有“The Wildman Woods, Carmarthenshire”最适合划船戏水。C不对，因为只有“Penrhos Isaf Bothy, Gwyned”这里曾经充当过山间避难处。
B篇 主题：记叙文—人与社会
原文出处：https://www.howitworksdaily.com/heros-of-technology-ada-lovelace/
24. B 推理判断。 从第一段中“She never knew Lord Byron, as just weeks after her birth in 1815, he divorced her mother Isabella Milbanke Byron and left to fight in the Greek War of Independence.”可知，Ada从未见过自己的父亲，她是由母亲独自抚养长大的。
25. D 细节理解。 从第二段中“Her life changed when she met inventor Charles Babbage at a party. As he demonstrated a working section of his mechanical calculator, Ada was taken in by how it worked and wanted to know more. Impressed by the 17-year-old’s obvious passion, Babbage became her tutor.”可知是Charles Babbage改变了她的生活，激起了她对数学和计算机工程的兴趣。
26. B 推理判断。 从第二段“Ada studied hard despite the fact that society did not encourage women pursuing interests in science”可知，Ada 在学习上很刻苦，和第四段中“Ada wrote what are considered the first ever computer algorithms to be used in a new type of machine. She essentially provided the first ideas for computer programming in what was a groundbreaking proposal on the potential of computers.”可知，她在笔记中提出了计算机编程的第一个想法，是一个关于计算机潜力的开创性建议，说明她极有天赋。
27. C 推理判断。从最后一段看，A选项错误，1950年她的笔记被再次出版。B选项不对，以她的名字命名一门编程语言的是美国国防部。“her work was largely recognised until the 1950s when her notes were republished”可知，她出生于1815年，1950年她的笔记被重新出版，也就是她死后快一个世纪的时候，她的贡献才广为人知，故D错误，选C。
C篇 主题：说明文—人与社会
文章出处：
节选自Design：A Very Short Introduction《设计：无处不在/牛津通识读本》，作者John Heskett。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对设计的正确解读和如何追求更好的设计。
28. A 主旨大意。 根据文章第二段“Not surprisingly, in the absence of widespread agreement about its significance and value, much confusion surrounds design practice. (毫不奇怪，在其意义和价值的广泛一致认同缺失的情况下，许多混乱围绕着设计实践。)” 可知，不同领域对设计的不同理解导致的混乱。故选A。
29. C 词义猜测。 根据划线词下文“only a small proportion of which has sustained quality (只有一小部分具有持久的质量）”可推知，划线词“ephemeral”的意思是“短暂存在的”，作为一种实践，设计产生了大量的材料，其中大部分是短暂的。故选C。
30. D 推理判断。 通过文章第四段“Design is one of the basic characteristics of what it is to be human, and an essential determinant of the quality of human life. If things are a necessary part of our existence, why are they often done so badly? There is no simple answer. Cost factors are sometimes advanced, but the margin between doing something well or badly can be exceedingly small, and cost factors can in fact be reduced by appropriate design inputs. (设计是人类生活质量的基本特征之一，也是人类生活质量的基本决定因素。如果事物是我们存在的必要组成部分，为什么它们经常做得如此糟糕？没有一个简单的答案。成本因素有时是先进的，但把事情做得好或做得不好之间的差距可能非常小，而成本因素实际上可以通过适当的设计投入来降低。)”可推知，很多方面都可以通过适当的设计而有所改善。故选D。
31. B 细节理解。 通过文章最后一段“ The intention is to extend the spectrum of what is understood by the term，and examine the breadth of design practice as it affects everyday life in a diversity of cultures. (其意图是扩大“设计”一词所理解的范围，审查设计实践的广度，因为它影响到文化多样性中的日常生活。)”可推知，这本书的目的是为了追寻更好的设计操作。故选B。
D篇 主题：说明文—人与社会
文章出处：选自Readers Digest USA - June 2023--Seeing Blue BY Diane Peters
本文是一篇说明文。文章通过提出问题--分析问题--提出解决方案的方式解答了蓝光眼镜是否能够起作用，并给出具体应对措施。
32. D 推理判断。 根据文章第二段“Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist(眼科专家) based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that manufacturers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing. (总部位于俄亥俄州克利夫兰市的眼科医生伊丽莎白·埃斯帕拉兹说，制造商在推广这些眼镜时所分享的科学知识可能会让人感到困惑。)”可知，商家宣传的理论是受到质疑的。故选D。
33. A推理判断。 通过文章第二段“The sun emits a much higher intensity of blue light than human-made devices, of course, and it’s actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz (当然，太阳发出的蓝光强度比人造设备要强得多，而且它实际上是有益的，” 埃斯帕拉兹博士说。)可推知，太阳散发出的蓝光是有益的。故选A。
34. C 细节理解。 根据文章第五段第一句“As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. ” (至于眼睛疲劳，2021年澳大利亚的一项研究表明，戴眼镜的人并不比戴透明眼镜的人经历的眼睛疲劳小。)可推知，戴蓝光眼镜并不会减少眼疲劳。故选C。
35. B 文章标题。文章通过提出问题--分析问题--提出解决方案的方式解答了蓝光眼镜是否能够起作用，并给出具体应对措施。因此文章谈论了蓝光眼镜好坏的问题，故选B。
七选五 文章出处：https://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Better-Person
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了自我提升的一些好的建议。
36. G 空前提到生活可能是责任和压力的旋风，但有了正确的关注点，能让你在不同的方面成为一个更好的人，空后提到了继续阅读下去来了解自我提升之旅.因此，G选项符合语境，即这里每天都有不同的事可以来提升自己.
37. E 本段是对段落主旨的考察。根据本段的think about what you want in life以及write down the short and long-term goals 可知本段讲的是设置目标。E选项中Positive aspiration与本段主题“设置目标”相符合。且选项中something to thrive for 与本段的something make you a happier and better person 相呼应，故E选项符合语境。
38. B 空前提到让自己有时间原谅你过去的错误，并认识到他们教给你的东西，后面提到也许你可能无法忘记他们做了什么，可知B选项符合语境，即原谅那些伤害过你的人。
39. A 空前提到你周围的人通常是快乐的还是悲伤的？空后提到回答这些问题并分析与他们之间的互动可以帮助您发现和完善您的弱点。故可推断可知，空白处应该与与朋友之间的互动有关，故A选项（朋友会向你寻求帮助或建议吗？）承上启下，符合语境。
40. F 由Imagine what someone’s been through. Empathy is one of the first steps to....可知本段讲的是“培养同理心”，根据空前所提到的培养同理心不仅能够帮助你对他人更加敏感，还能帮助你建立更加持久的关系，减少孤立感，可是此处是在讲培养同理心的好处，F选项 “同情心可以帮助你在你的观点受到挑战时同时获得朋友”是对这一好处的补充。

Hello there, the journalist and presenter as well as author, our colleague, George Alagiah has died. He was 67. He was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2014 and in recent years used his voice to champion better NHS screening for the disease. In many ways, he was a pioneer in British broadcast journalism. Born in Sri Lanka, he was one of the first people of color working for a major UK broadcaster to report extensively on the part of the world that became known as the Global South, shining a light on the ordinary lives of millions of people, especially perhaps in Africa whose everyday lives were often ignored or relegated to the inside pages of newspapers. The BBC director general Tim Davies said today that George was more than just an outstanding journalist. Audiences could sense his kindness, empathy and wonderful humanity. Our special reporter Ann Little now looks back at a brilliant life of storytelling and adventure.

第一节：
In recent years, the trend of building “pocket parks” has become popular in many cities. “Pocket Parks” is a term that refers to small, urban parks created in limited spaces within the city.
Pocket parks bring numerous benefits to our community from various perspectives. Firstly, they contribute to the economy by attracting visitors and stimulating local businesses. Additionally, pocket parks play a vital role in improving the life quality of residents. These small paradises offer a welcome escape from our busy city life. Furthermore, pocket parks have significant environmental benefits. They help to prevent urban heat island effects by providing shade, reducing temperatures and improving air quality.
In conclusion, pocket parks have many advantages for our cities. Let us embrace a greener lifestyle and make use of these parks, appreciating the beauty of nature right at our doorstep.
第二节：
When I opened the envelope, coins and dollar bills fell out--fives, tens, twenties. At that moment, my throat tightened with emotion and I understood the meaning behind their excited faces. An overwhelming sense of pride from them washed over me. Should I take it? My brain was spinning fast. Seeing the money that the students raised, I couldn’t help but wonder another question: How had these kids collected so much money? I could even imagine the countless hours they had spent working odd jobs, determined to save every penny to help me. Therefore, deep within my heart, there was a firm voice, “I can’t take it”.
As an adult in the room, I felt guilty and unwilling to accept these teenagers hard-earned money, but I decided to accept it. I tightly held up the cash and my voice trembled as I told them how I was bothered by the cost of parking. “Kids, you just covered my parking cost for the month.” But that’s not the real reason why I accepted it. With tears of gratitude welling up in my eyes, I hugged each student tightly. More important than the envelope was the kindness in their hearts and the lesson they had taught themselves: how wonderful it feels to meet someone’s needs and to make a difference. Through their small act of kindness, these teenagers have shown me their growth and they are not ignorant children, but young individuals with wisdom and kindness in their hearts.
