（2023届广东省深圳市大湾区高三一模英语试题）In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegan said.
However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. “My life was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you’ll get a pretty exact result,” she said.
Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. “Feeding people is such a universal love language,” she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn’t put ‘quit drinking’ ” on her resume.
Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. “People have been walking, running and lining up to get cookies, and it’s just been so magical seeing that,” she said.
When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don’t have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. “You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ve got a job,” Deegan told the reporter.
4．What was Deegan mainly struggling with in 2013?
A．Emotion management.
B．Interpersonal relationship.
C．Work-life balance.
D．Alcohol addiction.
5．What prepared Deegan for her bakery business?
A．Working previously in the baking industry. B．Seeing people running to get cookies.
C．Wanting desperately to gain total control. D．Offering baked food out of goodwill.
6．According to paragraph 4 and 5, what is special about Deegan and her business?
A．She achieved success through baking.
B．She was ambitious about her business.
C．She has an open-door employment policy.
D．She only hired inexperienced workers.
7．Which of the following best describes Deegan?
A．Creative and smart.
B．Persistent and receptive.
C．Honest and optimistic.
D．Kind and easy-going.

（2023届广东省深圳市大湾区高三一模英语试题）Although we all experience failure in our lives, we don’t all react to it in the same way. An interesting research has emphasized the notion that there are some people who embrace challenges and disappointments as opportunities to re-focus their thinking. These are people with a growth mindset. Then, there are other people who see failure as a complete failure. They believe that they never had the talent anyway, and they probably never will. These are people with a fixed mindset.
Psychologist Dweck has studied these mindsets and provided evidence that most people intentionally place themselves in one of those two groups. The group to which you assign yourself frequently determines how you react to challenges. If you experience failure and give up, you have conveniently assigned yourself to the fixed group. If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group.
According to the research, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. To illustrate, consider Thomas Edison. In the 19th century, Edison attempted to improve the light bulb and experimented with numerous materials. Over a thousand trials, he managed to discover an element sustaining light. A reporter once asked him,“It seems as though you’ve tried many times and continue to fail each time. Why is that?”Edison answered,“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10, 000 ways that won’t work.”
In studies of creative people, psychologists discovered that a distinguishing feature separating them from the non-creative is that they make lots of mistakes and continue to work through them. Most people consider success and failure as polar opposites. In reality, they are both parts of the same process.
8．What might people with a growth mindset agree with?
A．Challenges are welcomed.
B．Mistakes can be avoided.
C．Success is due to good luck.
D．Only talent leads to success.
9．What does the underlined phrase “a stepping stone” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A road to nowhere.
B．A challenge in the way.
C．An outcome to expect.
D．A chance to advance.
10．Why does the author mention Thomas Edison in paragraph 3?
A．To make a prediction.
B．To present a fact.
C．To support a viewpoint.
D．To clarify a principle.
11．What is the main idea of the text?
A．How people interpret failure often determines their creative output.
B．Learning from success plays an important part in improving creativity.
C．Growth mindset people see challenges differently from fixed mindset ones.
D．Which group people put themselves in decides how they react to challenges.

（2023届广东省深圳市大湾区高三一模英语试题）Research into social robots has shown that machines that are at the cutting edge of interaction can respond to feelings and emotionally care for the weak, the elderly and children.
Robin was designed as a companion robot to provide emotional support for children receiving medical treatment. Robin explains medical procedures to them, plays games and tells stories, and during treatment distracts them to reduce their sense of pain. The robot uses AI to understand other people’s feelings, remembering facial expressions and conversations to build dialogue for follow-up sessions. In trials at the Wigmore Medical (UK) Pediatric Clinic in Yerevan, Armenia, the team found that Robin led to a 34% decrease in stress and an increase in happiness of 26% in the 120 children who interacted with him at least once.
Healthcare robots could all benefit from displaying emotional intelligence, both recognizing and responding to human emotions, and to some extent, managing them. The problem with this is the fear that human jobs may be lost as robots become better at handling social situations.
Population trends suggest that the demand for robots to work alongside people in care situations will grow over time. By 2050, the number of people aged 65 and over globally will be 1.6 billion (17%), roughly twice the proportion of what it is today. An extra 3.5 million care workers will be needed and that will include emotionally intelligent robots.
Today’s simple systems are being trained to meet that demand. This includes a little wheeled robot that can guess how you are feeling from the way you walk, and the robot from the University of Lincoln in the UK —who helps elderly people to stay physically and mentally active.
The impact of social robots on our lives to date has been tiny. But new models are being introduced that could make the breakthrough. Human emotions are difficult to define, but as trust in robots increases, breaking down the psychological barrier becomes easier to imagine.
12．What are social robots uniquely capable of?
A．Lifting heavy packages upstairs for weak people.
B．Teaching mentally ill teens emotional expressions.
C．Cooking delicious dishes for the disabled at home.
D．Playing songs for blind people on their request.
13．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．Robin’s function to reduce pain.
B．Robin’s popularity in hospitals.
C．Robin’s practical application.
D．Robin’s success in passing tests.
14．How is paragraph 4 developed?
A．By concluding viewpoints.
B．By analyzing causes.
C．By making comparison.
D．By giving definition.
15．What does the author think of human job replacement by robots?
A．It is already happening throughout UK.
B．Humans need to work hard to secure jobs.
C．Robots can only meet basic human needs.
D．It’s an unstoppable and beneficial trend.

（2023届广东省佛山市高三上学期普通高中教学质量检测（一）英语试题）Deveza’s mother was on the waiting list for a kidney transplant(肾移植). Deveza wanted to donate one of her own kidneys—but she was turned down because she might develop the same health problems as her mother in later life.
Deveza came up with a different plan. In 2017, she started the world’s first paired exchange of different organs between living donors, exchanging half her liver(肝) for someone else’s kidney. A case study of the organ exchange has now been published, and the surgeons who were involved are calling for more exchanges like this. “You can imagine the enormous impact for mixed organ extended chains,” says John Roberts, a surgeon at University of California, San Francisco.
Most organ transplants come from people who have died, but there are never enough organs. As most people can manage with just one of their kidneys, people with kidney failure are increasingly receiving donated organs from relatives or friends. If someone wants to donate but their immune(免疫的) system is unsuited, doctors may be able to find pairs of would-be donors who can each give a kidney to the other’s relative.
When Deveza was looking into such chains, she came across research describing the idea of trading a kidney with the only other organ generally taken from a living donor—the liver. She suggested the idea to many hospitals before she finally contacted Roberts, who saw the idea’s potential.
Deveza was assessed to be in good enough health to donate part of her liver. It then took 18 months to find Annie Simmons, in Idaho, whose liver was unsuitable to use as a transplant for her sister with severe liver disease. They drew up a plan: Simmons would donate a kidney to Deveza’s mother, and in return, Deveza would give half her liver to Simmons’ sister. The hospital gave the go-ahead and the four operations took place on the same day successfully.
The team hope that the ground-breaking case will inspire more people to consider doing the same. Roberts says that direct exchanges involving two donors could enable up to thirty extra living-donor liver transplants a year—a ten percent increase.
19．What did Deveza do to save her mother?
A．Carrying out a case study.
B．Calling for kidney donations.
C．Launching a medical experiment.
D．Trading half her liver for a kidney.
20．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．Patients’ desperation to survive.
B．Several sources of organ donation.
C．Current situation of organ transplants.
D．Doctors’ efforts to improve organ transplants.
21．What can be inferred about the organ exchange between Deveza and Simmons?
A．It discouraged organ donation.
B．It brought two families together.
C．It met with widespread approval.
D．It produced a desirable outcome.
22．What is the best title for the text?
A．My Liver, Your Kidney
B．Mother’s Love, Our Happiness
C．Organ Transplant: Blessing for Patients
D．Organ Exchange: Major Medical Advances

（2023届广东省佛山市高三上学期普通高中教学质量检测（一）英语试题）It’s no secret now that the more time we spend on social media, the more we feel dissatisfied with ourselves. We tend to compare ourselves to influences and celebrities- so it’s easy to understand how that can affect our confidence.
But, how often have you found yourself comparing your life to your friends? Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at content shared by celebrities, new research has found.
The study looking at how social media affects body image found that any social media engagement was significantly associated with lower “appearance satisfaction”. Additionally, it found that engaging with content posted by people the participants knew was more than twice as damaging as looking at content posted by strangers, including celebrities.
Viren Swami, Professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University, believes this is partly because we know it’s hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influences, but when we’re comparing ourselves to our friends, it feels like we should- or could-live the way they do.
“One possible explanation is that people may perceive a post showing appearance as being much more attainable if it comes from someone they know, adding expectation or pressure on the person engaging in the post, ” he said. “At the same time, people may be more critically engaged with posts by the likes of models and celebrities, and therefore perceive the images they share to be more unrealistic."
This is not just confined to body image though. We all have one area in our lives that triggers(触 发)us. Maybe you’ve been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media, envying your school friend who just landed their dream role. Maybe. . .
All this is to say the obvious: we only see part of people’s lives -and if it’s getting you down, you’re probably comparing your insides to other people’s outsides. Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone. So, put down your phone, get offline, be thankful and try to live your own life.
23．What did the new study find?
A．Social media invites unfavorable comments.
B．Friends’ posts affect us more than celebrities’.
C．Celebrities have a negative influence on our life.
D．Body image causes more concern than social life.
24．Why are we more likely to compare with our friends according to Swami?
A．They serve as role models.
B．We know the way they live. ,
C．Their lifestyles are accessible.
D．We are curious about their life.
25．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A．Restricted.
B．Related.
C．Devoted.
D．Exposed.
26．What does the author suggest people do?
A．Find your dream and fight for it.
B．Stop comparing and be yourself.
C．Be grateful and lead a perfect life.
D．Stop complaining and get down to work.

（2023届广东省佛山市高三上学期普通高中教学质量检测（一）英语试题）Given that the dictionary definition of curiosity is “the desire to know something”, it may be of little surprise that much research has concerned its benefits for education.
Consider a study at the University of California at Davis in 2014. The researchers first asked each participant to rate their curiosity about learning the answers to a series of questions, such as “What does the term ‘dinosaur’ actually mean?” The participants then lay in an fMRI brain scanner (扫描仪) while the same questions were presented, followed shortly after by the answers. The participants were then tested on their recollection of the facts an hour later.
The effects of curiosity on later recall were striking. When the participants were highly curious about a fact, they were 30% more likely to recall it. And this seemed to correspond to heightened activity in areas of the midbrain that release dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is normally associated with reward, but animal studies suggest that it can also enhance the formation of new neural(神经的) connections. It looked as if the feeling of curiosity was helping prepare the brain to absorb the new and important information, and this then resulted in a more stable memory.
Interestingly, the researchers found that the dopamine hit, arising from initial curiosity, could even enhance the memory of incidental information that had no direct relevance to the primary question. To demonstrate this, they had presented random faces alongside the answers to the questions and, an hour later, checked whether the participants still recognized the faces. The analyses showed that the participants were far more likely to remember the face if it had accompanied a question that had awakened their curiosity.
This additional, and unexpected, memory boost could be extremely useful whenever we’re trying to learn something new and complicated. We’re unlikely, after all, to find every single element of our studies interesting. But if we can develop some curiosity about at least some of the facts, we may find that the rest of the material also sticks far more easily.
27．Which aspect of curiosity did the study focus on?
A．Its scientific definition.
B．Its unique characteristics.
C．Its influences on memory.
D．Its benefits for brain health.
28．What was the purpose of presenting questions to the participants first?
A．To assess their learning ability.
B．To awaken their passion for learning.
C．To measure their curiosity about the questions.
D．To refresh their memory of extinct wild animals.
29．What can be learned about dopamine according to Paragraph 3?
A．It blocks memory.
B．It facilitates learning.
C．It promotes friendship.
D．It cures neural disorder.
30．Which message about learning does the unexpected finding deliver?
A．Generate interest in study.
B．Focus on essential information.
C．Make learning materials related.
D．Attach importance to memorization.

（2023届广东省茂名市高三第一次综合测试英语试题）Here are some of the prettiest small towns across Europe, from humble fishing towns to hilltop medieval power bases.
Giethoorn, Netherlands
They call it the Dutch answer to Venice, but Giethoorn lacks one crucial thing that the Italian city has in spades: over tourism. As in Venice, life revolves around the water, here-there are no cars in the center so the only way to get around is on foot or on the water.
Roscoff, France
Port towns can be rather dirty. Not lovely little Roscoff, though, in France’s Brittany region, which built its fortune on maritime trade. Today, it’s a center of thalassotherapy, using seawater to treat medical conditions, as well as a beautiful Breton town. Tiny fishing boats rest in the small harbor-with a larger one, where ferries leave for Plymouth in the UK, further out.
Dinkelsbühl, Germany
A cute historic center, wooden houses and large towers —Dinkelsbühl has it all. Wrapped by medieval walls with a vast Gothic church, St George’s Minster, it was the setting for Werner Herzog’s film “The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser.”
Clovelly, UK
Donkeys used to be the only way to get up and down the steep streets of Clovelly, a pretty fishing village in Devon, southwest England.
Today, they still haven’t managed to bring cars in — it sits at the bottom of a 400-foot cliff (悬崖). Instead, goods are transported by man-powered sledges (雪橇) and if tourists can’t face the walk back up to the car park, they can grab a ride in a Land Rover instead.
31．Where should visitors go if they want to receive a health treatment?
A．Giethoorn. B．Roscoff. C．Dinkelsbühl. D．Clovelly.
32．What can visitors do at Clovelly?
A．Take a boat tour. B．Drive a car.
C．Get around on foot. D．Take a man-powered sledge.
33．What is the purpose of the text?
A．To amuse readers. B．To tell the history.
C．To educate tourists. D．To introduce sights.

（2023届广东省茂名市高三第一次综合测试英语试题）Imagine the most English-English person you can think of. Now I’m fairly certain that no matter what picture you just thought up, that person comes complete with a stiff upper lip and a cup of tea in their hand, because that’s what the English do. They carry on and they drink tea. Tea is so utterly English, such a rooted part of the culture, that it’s also rooted in how everyone else around the world perceives that culture.
And while it’s fairly common knowledge that Westerners have China to thank for the original cultivation of tea drinking, it’s far less known that it was the Portuguese who inspired its popularity in England in particular, one Portuguese woman.
Travel back in time to 1662, when Catherine of Braganza (daughter of Portugal’s King John IV) won the hand of England’s newly restored monarch, King Charles II, with the help of a very large dowry (嫁妆) that included money, spices, treasures and the highly profitable ports of Tangiers and Bombay. This made her one very important lady: the Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland.
When she relocated up north to join King Charles, she is said to have packed loose-leaf tea as part of her personal belongings; it would also have likely been part of her dowry. A fun legend has it that the boxes were marked Iransporte de Ervas Aromaticas (Transport of Aromatic Herbs) later shortened to T. E. A．
That last bit probably isn’t true (experts believe the word “tea” came from a Chinese character), but what is for sure is that tea was already popular among the upper class of Portugal due to the country’s direct trade line to China via Macau.
34．What do people think of tea drinking in Britain?
A．Typical. B．Fashionable. C．Incredible. D．Unusual.
35．Who promoted the fashion of tea drinking in England?
A．Common Westerners.
B．The Chinese people.
C．Portugal’s King John IV.
D．The Queen of King Charles II.
36．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A．Tea was part of the dowry of Catherine of Braganza.
B．The word ‘tea’ came from Portuguese marks on the boxes.
C．Tea became popular in Portugal earlier than it did in England.
D．The direct trade line between China and England developed because of tea.
37．Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．The story behind British tea drinking.
B．The legend of tea drinking in Portugal.
C．The origin of Westerners’ tea drinking.
D．The history of tea trade between China and Britain.

（2023届广东省茂名市高三第一次综合测试英语试题）Will skipping breakfast make me fat?
The good news for those who don’t have breakfast is that putting on weight isn’t inevitable —as long as you control those high-calorie desires and stay active.
Research shows that although avoiding breakfast will make you hungrier and you might make up for that with a bigger lunch, this won’t necessarily make you “fatter” — on average, those who skip breakfast don’t eat more across the whole day than if they didn’t skip it. Some researchers have found that you may even eat fewer calories overall, and end up using your body’s fat reserves for energy, which can actually help you lose weight.
However, weight isn’t the only consideration: studies show that breakfast-skippers are likely to exercise less. This may be because they have lower energy levels-after eight hours or so without food, the body will have used up most of its stores of easy-to-access energy during sleep. Morning fasters are also more likely to have unhealthy, but appetite-suppressing habits, such as smoking or drinking a lot of coffee.
If you want to ensure that you eat a regular, nutritious breakfast, try preparing it the night before don’t leave it until the morning, when your brain struggles to make good decisions.
If you do skip breakfast. . .
■Don’t make up for it with a huge lunch, otherwise you’ll suffer overeating.
■Make sure you eat something before you exercise, or you risk “hitting the wall”.
■Don’t make up for lack of energy with coffee-it can make you lose your appetite and make you anxious and nervous.
38．What does the underlined word “inevitable” mean in Paragraph 2?
A．Unbelievable. B．Unavoidable. C．Uncomfortable. D．Unbearable.
39．Why do some breakfast-skippers lose weight?
A．They do more exercise. B．They stay active all day.
C．They reserve their body fat. D．They take in fewer calories.
40．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．Aims of the studies. B．Ways of losing weight.
C．Effects of skipping breakfast. D．Suggestions for breakfast-skippers.
41．What is the author’s attitude towards skipping breakfast?
A．Objective. B．Positive. C．Negative. D．Doubtful.

（2023届广东省茂名市高三第一次综合测试英语试题）The wires, screens and batteries that make up our devices-not to mention the plastic, metal and other materials that package them-are filling up landfills. Some e-waste is relatively large: old phones and air conditioners, for instance. Other e-waste is more hidden, such as electronic single-use medical diagnostic kits, environmental sensors, and smart labels that contain one-off batteries and other equipment.
“It’s these small batteries that are big problems, ” says public health scientist Dele Ogunseitan, who was not involved in developing the battery. ”Nobody really pays attention to where they end up.
Researchers at the Cellulose & Wood Materials Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) are working to address this problem. Their new paper in Scientific Reports describes a paper battery developed from environmentally friendly materials that could eventually present a sustainable alternative to the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.
The paper battery has the same key components as standard batteries but packages them differently. Like a typical chemical battery, it has-a positively charged side called a cathode (正极), a negatively charged side called an anode (负极), and a conductive material called an electrolyte (电解质)between the two. A traditional battery’s components are packaged in plastic and metal; in the new battery, the anode and cathode are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper. That paper is filled with salt, which dissolves (溶解)when the paper is dampened with water. The resulting saltwater solution acts as the electrolyte.
When the paper is dry, the battery is shelf-stable. Add just a couple of drops of water, however, and the salt dissolves, allowing electrons to flow. Once the paper is dampened, the battery becomes active within 20 seconds. The new battery’s operating performance declines as the paper dries. When the scientists rewet the paper during testing, the battery regained functionality and lasted an hour before beginning to dry out again.
42．What can we infer about small disposal batteries according to Dele Ogunseitan?
A．They are no big problems.
B．They need to be addressed.
C．They should be made larger.
D．They are environmentally friendly.
43．What’s special about the new battery?
A．It has a cathode and an anode.
B．It has different key components.
C．Its cathode and anode are printed on paper.
D．Its components are packaged in plastic and metal.
44．What is used to make the new battery start to operate?
A．Salt.
B．Metal.

（2023届广东省深圳市高三年级第一次调研考试英语试题）From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.
Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic (怀旧的) account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family. ”
Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book — curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother.
Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained. ”
My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry.
As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.
49．Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu?

（2023届广东省深圳市高三年级第一次调研考试英语试题）When put to tests, bees have long proved that they’ve got a lot more to offer than pollinating (授粉) , making honey and being loyal to a queen. The hard-working insects can change their behavior when things seem difficult, and now some scientists find there is proof that they also like to play.
Scientists from Queen Mary University of London performed an experiment, in which they set up a container that allowed bees to travel from their nest to a feeding area. But along the way, the bees could choose to pass through a separate section with some small wooden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees “went out of their way to roll wooden balls repeatedly, despite no apparent incentive (刺激)to do so. ”
Earlier studies have shown that the black and yellow bugs are willing to learn new tricks in exchange for food or other rewards. In this case, to get rid of external factors, scientists made sure the bees had adapted to their new home and that their environment was stress-free.
The finding suggests that like humans, insects also interact with objects as a form of play. Also similar to people, younger bees seem to be more playful than adult bees. “This research provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more complicated than we imagine. There are lots of animals who play just for the purpose of enjoyment, but most examples come from young mammals (哺乳动物) and birds,” said Lars Chittka, a professor of sensory and behavioral ecology at Queen Mary University of London, who led the study.
The study’s first author, Samadi Galpay, who is a PhD student at Queen Mary University of London, states that it is more evident that bees may be capable of experiencing feelings. “They may actually experience some kind of positive emotional states, even if basic, like other larger animals do. This finding has effects on our understanding of the sense and welfare of insects, which, consequently, encourages us to respect and protect wildlife on Earth ever more,” she says.
53．What is the new finding about bees?
A．They are fond of having fun.
B．They are faithful to the queen.
C．They are adaptable to changes.
D．They are skilled at rolling balls.
54．How did scientists remove external influences in the experiment?
A．By teaching bees new tricks.
B．By rewarding bees with food.
C．By making bees feel at home.
D．By building new homes for bees.
55．What are Lars Chittka’s words mainly about?
A．The forms of bees’ interaction.
B．The complexity of bees’ minds.
C．The examples of mammals’ play.
D．The purpose of mammals’ enjoyment.
56．What does Samadi Galpay say about the study result?
A．It backs up prior understanding of insects.
B．It reveals reasons for bees’ positive feelings.
C．It drives research on animals’ emotional state.
D．It contributes to wildlife conservation on Earth.

（2023届广东省深圳市高三年级第一次调研考试英语试题）“You’re so smart!” This encouraging response to children’s math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.
Parents who make comments linking their children’s performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.
For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children’s math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement.
The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children’s strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics — in particular, related to failure — are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.
Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to enhance motivation.
57．Which of the following is an example of process response?
A．You are a lucky dog.
B．Running is in your blood.
C．What works well for your study?
D．Why are you such a math genius?
58．What can be inferred from the study results?
A．Parents prefer to give more process responses.
B．Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety.
C．Process responses help with children’s math achievement.
D．Person responses can discourage children from learning math.
59．What do researchers advise parents to do?
A．Restrict person responses.
B．Defend their own beliefs.
C．Stress children’s performance.
D．Ignore children’s math problems.
60．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．The Strategy Children Adopt to Learn Math Helps
B．The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters
C．Responses to Enhance Children’s Math Performance
D．Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math

（2023届广东省梅州市高三一模英语试题）When my son first began competing in school chess tournaments, I often chatted with other parents. Occasionally, I would ask if they played chess themselves. Normally, the reply was no. When I volunteered that I was learning to play, their tone was cheerfully joking, “Good luck with that!”If this game is so good, why are adults ignoring it? Seeing someone playing smart phone games, I preferred to say, “Why are you having your kids do chess while you play?”
Sure, we parents had work to do, work that helped pay for the lessons our kids were enjoying. But I was also wondering if we were sending an unnoticeable message that learning was for the young. During one tournament, I saw a group of parents playing chess! Just then, a group of kids passed me “Why are adults learning chess?” One asked, in an apparently joking tone.
I was tired of sitting on the sidelines. I wanted in, and that is why I got a membership card and started throwing myself in.“Early on,I was nervous, even the master can sometimes play badly, ” as one Grandmaster put it “a fan never” . And a fan I was. It was three hours of concentration and thinking with my phone off. It felt like a gym where I was trained to solve problems with focus, memory, logic, and occasional headaches. And of course hours of absence of digital devices would never be no good for thinking sharply.
Being a beginner can be hard at any age, but it gets harder when you are older. The phrase “adult beginner”has an fairly gentle pity. It implies the learning of something that you should have perhaps already leaned.

（2023届广东省梅州市高三一模英语试题）While most of us are never without our smartphones robots may also soon become essential companions. It certainly seems so based on the recent experiments conducted by researchers in Japan, who developed a wearable soft robot for patients to use during treatments, such as injections(注射) and other unpleasant therapies in an attempt to ease their pain and defend people against anxiety.On being subjected to a moderate heat stimulus(刺激), the study participants who wore the robot experienced less pain than in the tests in which they did not wear the robot.
During the campaign to encourage vaccination against COVID-19, public health officials recognized that some people are simply afraid of needles,which contributed to reduced vaccination rates. While the problems of patient anxiety and pain during medical procedures have been well studied there remains a need to test and implement solutions to help patients.
The soft fur-covered robot the scientists called Reliebo was designed to be attached to the participant’s hand. The researchers tested its effectiveness under various conditions based on the clenching of the participant’s hand, while applying the painful thermal stimulus to the other arm that was not being used to hold the robot.The researchers found that holding the robot helped relieve the experience for patients regardless of the experimental conditions used, and concluded that the feelings of well -being that can be created by human touch may have also been activated by the robot. “It is well known that interpersonal touch can reduce pain and fear, and we believe that this effect can be achieved even with nonliving soft robots,”states Professor Tanaka.
This may be useful when actual human contact is not feasible, such as during pandemics. Future versions of the robot might use a controlled gaze or even AR (augmented reality) technologies to help build a connection with the patient or distract them from pain perception in various situations.
72．What is the purpose of the robot?
A．To assist doctors in injecting accurately.
B．To help relieve people’s pain from injections.
C．To evaluate patients’ physical and mental health.
D．To assess the effects of getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

B．The robot’s soft fur gives the patients a feelings of well- being.
C．The robot’s“interpersonal touch ” creates a feelings of well -being.
D．The robot instructs the researchers to relieve the experience for patients.
74．What will researchers probably do next?
A．Develop other devices for medical treatment.
B．Carry out more and more tests on the robot.
C．Evaluate the possible risk of using the robot.
D．Promote the application of the robot worldwide
75．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

（2023届广东省汕头市普通高考第一次模拟考试英语试题）In recent times, the sales of self-help books have soared in popularity. Here are our picks of the best, and most highly rated self-help books to help tackle that new year anxiety.
Atomic Habits by James Clear
Nowadays people spend so much time planning, journaling, and writing in our diaries, rather than taking action towards actually achieving our goals. This book is a step-by-step guide to fixing up your routine. It digs into the psychology behind habits — how to form good ones and break the bad ones. If you’re a victim of procrastination (拖延症), this may be the push you need.
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
This book is all about improving the relationships you have with others in your life, making you a better listener, and overall a better friend. With simple tips such as including the person’s name in conversation and making sure you’re genuinely interested in what they’re saying, you can ensure they will remember you. The core idea is that you can change other people’s behaviour by changing your own, therefore building stronger relationships.
Untamed-Stop Pleasing, Start Living by Glennon Doyle
Part autobiographical and part self-help, it’s the perfect book to kickstart your year and start living for yourself. Although this book could be enjoyed by anyone, the prime audience is women, as Doyle talks a lot about doubts during motherhood, and the overwhelming need women feel to put everyone before themselves. Doyle shows us our lives in a new light that without even realising it, we may be working hard to please everyone around us, forgetting the most important person — ourselves.
The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss
“Escape the 9-5, live anywhere and join the new rich”. This best seller proposes the idea that you don’t need to wait for retirement and delay your life plan. Instead, you can trade a long career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements”. Ferris says that people don’t want to be millionaires. They want to experience what they think only millionaires can buy.

（2023届广东省汕头市普通高考第一次模拟考试英语试题）“Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. ” This is dedicated to my first-year self four years ago, who was addicted to getting good grades, and failed to seek the happiness found in everything else that college has to offer.
Like some people, I grew up with a family that valued academics over all else, who gave you a little extra love when you were doing great in your classes, and took it away when you didn’t. As a result, my self-worth became tied to my academic success. As an international student, I sometimes felt our parents didn’t quite understand the heavy academic weight.
There is a difference between trying to always better yourself for yourself, and simply putting too much on your plate until you burn out from attempting to live up to certain expectations. We should all strive to do the former, but unfortunately our mindsets have been always wired to follow the latter.
I used to believe school killed the creative spirit inside all of us, but as I get older and further into my academic career, I find that it is we who make the choice to kill that creative spirit. I am definitely not saying that you should throw your GPA out of the window and go painting all day. However, we should all try to develop a long-sighted perspective on how we want to shape our lives. Take some classes on topics that you’re genuinely interested in learning about, not just passing. Join clubs or work on projects that resonate with you and push you beyond your boundaries. And most of all, accept the fact that failure and loss are sometimes inevitable in life.
I promise you, when you look back at these four years, you will not remember the good grades or the bad grades, but you will hold in your memory the connections you made with people, the things that inspired you to create and the times you learned something special. And so I ask you now, what do you want to get out of college?
79．Who is the author of the passage?
A．A professor. B．A freshman. C．A parent. D．A graduate.
80．What did the author’s parents stress most on his college life?
A．Seeking happiness. B．Getting good grades.
C．Building self-worth. D．Developing various interests.
81．What is bettering ourselves for according to the author?
A．To be a better self. B．To realize our dreams.
C．To push our boundaries. D．To live up to others’ expectations.
82．Which of the following may the author probably agree with?
A．Academic growth helps to promote creativity.
B．Students themselves have a say in their hobbies.
C．Failures can be avoided with more efforts put in.
D．School is to blame for killing students’ creativity.

（2023届广东省汕头市普通高考第一次模拟考试英语试题）Not every architectural landmark is grand in scale, with splendid decorations, or amazing colors. Suzhou Gardens may just be the opposite.
When a group of monks during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) first constructed Lion Grove Garden, they may have just wanted to enjoy a quiet place, hidden away from urban noise, while in the following centuries, this charming garden - most notable for its waterside rockeries resembling the shape of lions—has attracted a constant stream of celebrity guests, who have left a long list of poems, paintings and historical anecdotes (轶事).
In recent years, nine of the best-known classical gardens of Suzhou, including Lion Grove Garden, Humble Administrator’s Garden and Great Wave Pavilion, were registered into the World Heritage List. As UNESCO remarks, “Classical Chinese garden design, which seeks to recreate natural landscapes in miniature (缩略图), is nowhere better illustrated than in the nine gardens, which reflect the profound natural beauty in Chinese culture and inspire people to pursue harmony with the world.”
Nowadays, relevant administrations have been trying to restore the historical landscapes of Suzhou’s classical gardens. Consequently, last year, a new project was launched allowing tourists in small groups to reserve places to enter the garden in the early morning before the regular opening time. Their visit ended with them completing the last step in making a traditional folding fan, adding a poem about the garden on its surface. The experience was also regarded as a way to help people understand the wisdom, elegance and philosophical worldview of the ancient Chinese literati (文人).
The delicate beauty of the gardens still flows via the canals that snake across Suzhou. Hardly felt, their strength in shaping the city’s character seems to last forever.
83．What’s the purpose of building the Lion Grove Garden?
A．To share historical anecdotes.
B．To attract celebrity guests.
C．To enjoy the beautiful scenery.
D．To stay far from the madding crowd.

（2023届广东省汕头市普通高考第一次模拟考试英语试题）An 18, 000-year-old human genome has been sequenced as a consequence of genetic research of ancient African skeletons, revealing information as to how the continent’s former people lived, migrated, and reproduced.
In general, DNA cannot survive in Africa’s heat and damp for lengthy periods of time, and researchers have never previously sequenced a sub-Saharan African human genome older than 9,000 years. The authors of this new study, on the other hand, regained genetic material from six people buried between 5, 000 and 18, 000 years ago.
They also looked at the records of 28 previously reported individuals found at burial sites around the continent, and these 34 people were from three unique source populations originating in northeastern, central, and southern Africa after studying their DNA．This means that the continent was originally inhabited by three distinct groups who must have lived in remote areas for long periods of time. The combination of these three branches, on the other hand, suggests that genetic information was exchanged between the three populations before 20, 000 years ago.
According to the authors of the study, this process began around 50, 000 years ago, because archaeological records suggest an increase in the movement of products over great distances around this time. People are thought to have started having offspring with partners from far-away places as trading networks grew across the continent.
However, the genomic data shows that this long-range DNA interchange began to decline some 20, 000 years ago, implying that humans began reproducing with their immediate neighbors at that time. According to the study’s authors, it may be due to the Last Glacial Maximum, when climate change may have limited people’s mobility and pushed them to become more sedentary.
In a statement, study author Jessica Thompson noted, “At first, people found their mates from a wide geographic pool. Further down the line, people valued partners who lived closer to them and were perhaps more culturally similar.” Co-author Elizabeth Sawchuk added, “Perhaps it was because previously established social networks allowed for the movement of information and technologies without requiring people to migrate.”
87．What is the challenge of the DNA study in Africa?
A．Hot and wet climate. B．Limited technology.
C．Too many cultural exchanges. D．Complex human genomes.
88．What caused the genetic information exchange around 50, 000 years ago?
A．Climate change. B．Archaeological records.
C．Trades with distant groups. D．Development in technology.
89．What is the meaning of the underlined word “sedentary” in Paragraph 5?
A．Stable. B．Diverse. C．Active. D．Reproductive.
90．What can we learn from the ancient social network according to the passage?
A．Distant social exchange was booming 50, 000 years ago.
B．Long-ranged DNA interchange started to occur 20, 000 years ago.
C．Communication with people from similar cultures was always favored.
D．Migration declined when social networks for information became mature.

（2023届广东省广州市普通高中毕业班综合测试（一）英语试题）Della Steward got the standard well-wishes on her blog on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One was about the Smith family who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was in deep sorrow. Could Della help?
That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Della was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd, the long-time social service professional had put out a call on her blog.She wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Smith family,she sent a wind chime(风铃)with the message“Listen to the wind and know that I am near”written on it. It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his older brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants.
This is not the first time that Della has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, in 2016, she founded Love in Action, an organization committed to doing something good near her home and beyond. Its aim is simple: Do Your Best, Show Your Love!

（2023届广东省广州市普通高中毕业班综合测试（一）英语试题）Beavers(海狸), like humans, change their surroundings to fit their needs. Known as nature’s engineers, they tear trees down to build homes to live in and dams to raise water levels for protection from enemies. Dams also slow water’s flow while blocking sediment(沉积物)that would otherwise flow downstream. The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity where none had existed. There are challenges, though. Beaver dams sometimes cause flooding, and most people prefer trees alive and upright.
Communities face a delicate balancing act, learning to coexist with beavers. Last winter, many people enjoying Winston Path became beaver fans as one furry family transformed Swallow Pond into an oasis for birds, frogs, turtles and deer.
Yet such activity caused concern. As beavers worked, they raised water levels about five feet. The increased depth allows beavers to survive underwater if the pond ices over. But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank supporting Winston Path.
To find a good balance between protecting the path and the beavers, the county introduced a“ beaver baffle”— a pond leveler.Beavers often rush to fill holes in their dams.Baffles stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam, unnoticed by the beavers.
People love the beavers but they also love the mature trees. Recently, Catherine Jones,18, organized a tree-caging event — putting wire cloth around large tree trunks to discourage beavers from biting them. It also protects people from injury due to random trees falling.“We cover the trees we don’t want them to eat, while planting periodically others they like,“said Jones.“We need-to learn to give up a little of our wants to share the Earth’s resources.”
Swallow Pond’s 2023 project will restore proper water depth and improve wildlife habitat without creating problems for the path. The balancing act continues.
98．What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A．Where beavers’ favorite surroundings are.
B．What effects beavers have on their habitat.
C．Why beavers are called nature’s engineers.
D．How beavers help attract wildlife diversity.
99．Why did the beaver family’s activity cause concern?
A．Swallow Pond would flood often.
B．Sediment would flow downstream.
C．The popular path might be damaged.
D．Beavers might have to live underwater.
100．What do the underlined words“beaver baffle”refer to in paragraph 4?
A．A block to keep beavers away. B．A tool to fix holes in the dams.
C．A device to maintain water level. D．A material to protect the soil bank.
101．What is the theme of Swallow Pond’s 2023 project?
A．Biological diversity. B．Harmonious coexistence.
C．Prevention of natural disasters. D．Preservation of wildlife habitat.

（2023届广东省广州市普通高中毕业班综合测试（一）英语试题）Some bacteria(细菌)have a superpower that scientists would love to use. These bacteria gain energy from light, just as plants do.Scientists have wanted to use cyanobacteria(蓝藻菌)to make electricity. But in previous research, they didn’t survive long on artificial surfaces. Researchers have now moved them to a living surface — a mushroom. Their creation is the first mushroom to make electricity.
Applied Physicist Simon Jackson and his team turned that mushroom into a mini energy farm. This bionic(生物电子的)mushroom combines 3D printing, conductive ink and bacteria to generate electricity. Its design could lead to new ways of combining nature with electronics.
Like plants, cyanobacteria make their own food from sunlight, releasing electrons(电子). When enough electrons build up in one place, they can create an electric current.
The researchers needed to bring a lot of these bacteria together. They decided to use 3D printing to place them precisely onto a surface.Jackson’s team chose mushrooms for that surface. After all, they realized, mushrooms naturally host communities of bacteria and other microbes. Finding test subjects for their tests was easy. Jackson simply went to the grocery store and picked up white button mushrooms.
Printing on those mushrooms, though, turned out to be a real challenge. 3D printers have been designed to print on flat surfaces, but mushroom caps are curved. The researchers spent months writing computer code to solve the problem. Eventually, they came up with a program to 3D print their ink onto the curved mushroom tops.
The researchers printed two“inks”onto their mushrooms. One was a green ink made of cyanobacteria. They used this to make a spiral pattern on the cap. They also used a black ink made of graphene, which is great at conducting electricity. They printed this ink in a branching pattern across the mushroom top.
Then it was time to shine.
“Cyanobacteria are the real heroes here,”says Jackson. When his team shone light on the mushrooms, the bacteria gave out electrons. Those electrons flowed into the graphene and created an electric current.
102．What was the problem in previous research?
A．Cyanobacteria didn’t produce electrons.
B．Cyanobacteria couldn’t get enough light.
C．The researchers chose the wrong bacteria.
D．No suitable home was made for cyanobacteria.
103．Why were mushrooms finally chosen as test subjects?
A．They are convenient to find.
B．They can produce electric currents.
C．They are where bacteria can naturally grow.
D．They can be easily combined with 3D printing.
104．What is the major function of the black ink in this test?
A．To feed bacteria.
B．To deliver electrons.
C．To produce electricity.
D．To reshape mushroom tops.
105．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Who are the real heroes?
B．New application of 3D printing

（2023届广东省江门市高三下学期高考拟考试（一模）英语试题）All over the world, barbershops not only fuel their local economies, but also bring people together. So when the COVID-19 broke out three years ago and the community fell on hard times, Chris Bossio knew just what to do. Chris opened a barbershop called Headlines, where people could come together for a hair cut, having some conversations meanwhile.
Later, Chris volunteered his free time to teach other barbers new techniques.
Impressed by his down-to-earth, easy-to-understand lessons, one of his business partners convinced him to upload them on Tiktok (抖音).
That was when things really took off. The videos earned him a large number of subscribers and as Chris kept creating more, he saw his subscribers turn into clients. The freshmen in the line flooded in to exchange professional opinions and sharpen the skills, while residents from the community came for a moment of peace, hence building a deeper bond.
Business was booming but Chris didn’t stop here.
When he started Headlines, his initial goal was just to open five barbershops within five years. But as time went by, he was determined to share his success, focusing most of his time on empowering barbers. He held workshops where he trained barbers on not only the business of barbering, but also how to establish their brands. Once, his workshop attracted over 300 attendees. Many of his students have become successful barbers themselves, including about 40 who have opened their own shops in the area. “These shops serve as places where community cultures really come together and come to life, ” he said. It was a dream come true for Chris.
He also saw opportunities popping up as his channel grew. He started making a shaving gel (凝胶). It was another huge hit. He immediately launched a production line, creating a certain number of jobs in the community. Though the economy was in decline, he could sell10, 000 products per month in 15 countries. It’s also been a lifeline during the COVID-19 epidemic (疾病流行) , when hundreds of barbershops were forced to shut down. Without it, Chris’ business, as well as his employees, couldn’t have survived.
109．What was Chris Bossio’s original purpose of opening Headlines?

（2023届广东省江门市高三下学期高考拟考试（一模）英语试题）New words emerge in English all the time. In fact, in recent years more new words and phrases are entering the language than ever before, partly due to the increased willingness of lexicographers (词典编纂者) to include them in the dictionaries.
John Algeo who studies the history of language says, “As our culture changes, the language changes. American culture is going through a time of rapid change.”
Technology is moving fast, which has a big effect on language. The computer world produces hundreds of new words. New terms also come from business, medicine, and other fields.
Many new English words come from other languages. David Jost helps create the American Heritage Dictionary. “We constantly borrow words from other cultures,” he says. “This will go on forever in cultures.”
“People in many parts of the world speak English now. That is another reason why so many new words are entering the language,” says Algeo.
The American Dialect Society has a contest each year. The society selects a “new word of the year”, which gains high level of popularity on media for some days. Last year the winner was “information superhighway”, referring to a whole set of electronic network of information and people getting access to this network by computer.
New words often come in several forms, such as the back-formation (like enthuse from enthusiasm), the clipping (like zoo from zoological garden), and the compounding, etc. Over time, one form tends to win out. Take the compounding for instance. “Domestic partners” has been growing popular lately, even though many terms have been used to describe couples who live together but are not married.
“A new word rarely can be traced to one source,” says Algeo. “Several people fend to create a new word when a need for one exists.”
“Most new words have a limited life ‘span’,” say language experts. Only a few will survive through the next 100 years.
113．What might have least effect on English language?
A．Culture.
B．Technology.
C．Other languages.
D．Language contests.

（2023届广东省江门市高三下学期高考拟考试（一模）英语试题）A city in Denmark is about to become the first in the world to provide most of its citizens with fresh water using only the energy created from household wastewater.
The Marselisborg Wastewater Treatment Plant (MWTP) in Aarhus has undergone improvements that mean it can now produce more than 150 percent of the electricity needed to run the plant. The extra power can be used to pump drinking water around the city. As well as regularly powering the entire water system of 200, 000 people living in the inner city area, any unwanted electricity could be sold into the local power network.
The plant produces energy from the biogas which creates out of household wastewater. Carbon is removed from the wastewater and pumped into digesters (沼气池) kept at 38℃ filled with bacteria. These produce biogas — mostly methane — that is then burned to make heat and electricity.
Upgrading the facilities in Marselisborg required nearly €3 million, but Aarhus Water expects that to be recovered in just five years. Other cities in Denmark, including Copenhagen, have been trying to copy the example of Aarhus.
When talking about copying Denmark’s experience, Molly Walton, energy analyst at International Energy Agency, says, scientists and engineers would firstly have to improve energy efficiency; and it requires an enormous amount of money that could considerably increase the price of the water. Moreover, to work, the wastewater plant needs to be big enough to produce enough biogas, and even the wastewater has to be the right-mix. If it’s watered down by much storm or groundwater, it will be almost impossible to recover energy, Walton says.
With rising global temperatures, more energy will be needed to provide fresh water from other sources such as seawater. The city’s action may not solve the problems, but it is a big step in the right direction.
117．What can we learn about the city Aarhus?
A．Aarhus can sell green energy to Denmark.
B．The plant in Aarhus can produce extra power.
C．The plant in Aarhus makes good use of carbon.
D．Aarhus is the first city to benefit from household wastewater.
118．Why is it difficult to practise the way of MWTP?
A．The global temperature is rising.
B．Energy efficiency needs improving.
C．The plant is too big to produce biogas.
D．MWTP requires demanding conditions.
119．What is Molly Walton’s attitude towards copying Denmark’s example?
A．Doubtful.
B．Negative.
C．Uninterested.
D．Positive.
120．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．Copying the example of Aarhus cost a lot.
B．MWTP has improved the processing of biogas.
C．A plant in Aarhus turns wastewater into energy.
D．The water service in Aarhus needs more energy.

（2023届广东省湛江市高三一模考试英语试题）By the time I took Kicker home, I was living in a van (旅居房车), so he was thrown into van life from day one. At this point, I knew how to make him an outgoing and adaptable dog, and my life was far more adventurous than it had been...
Right out of the gate, I took him to ski touring, which is a lot like cross-country skiing but in wilder terrain. At first, Kicker would just stay nestled (依偎) in my jacket, but as he got stronger, he would run on his own for a little while before I carried him again.
We also went on some winter camping adventures in the high peaks of the Uinta Mountains, and we tried snow kiting. He ran around while I skied. He learned to speed-fly and kiteboard. One time he vomited (呕吐) all over the new cushions on my bed. Boy, did that stay smelly for days! Still, living in a van with a dog was great. With each new day, he got stronger and more independent.
I had dreamed of visiting Alaska since I was a child, so being able to share that trip with Kicker felt incredible. There’s something to be said about shared experiences and how they help develop a strong bond. Together we kayaked, snowmobiled, and even ended up exploring deep blue ice caves in Worthington Glacier. Kicker learned to come snowboarding with me in the mountains of Alaska. He would hike part of the way, and I would carry him the rest. I would always let him run next to me as I boarded, but I usually ended up putting him on my shoulders for the rest of the ride down—he had grown far too big to fit in my jacket.
Having a dog has been one of the most rewarding things in my life. For me, it’s about the time spent together exploring, sharing experiences, working through challenging situations, snuggling, and ultimately taking care of one another.
124．What was Kicker like when he was first taken home by the author?
A．Sick and pitiful. B．Small and weak.
C．Happy and active. D．Outgoing and adventurous.
125．Why was the incident of Kicker’s vomiting mentioned in paragraph 3?
A．To illustrate how hard life is in a van.
B．To indicate that raising Kicker was not all roses.
C．To show the importance of taking good care of a pet.
D．To warn us of the trouble a pet can bring to us on a trip.
126．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．What tricks Kicker learned in Alaska.
B．What great experiences the author had.
C．How the author realized his childhood dream.
D．How much the author enjoyed Kicker's company.

C．They bond through giving each other rewards.
D．They depend on each other in life’s hardest times.

（2023届广东省湛江市高三一模考试英语试题）Slowness has been a sweeping trend in sustainability. Slow food celebrates local produce and traditional cooking methods; slow fashion is made with a focus on people and the planet. You may have even heard of the slow city, a campaign to restore local cultures and turn cities back to their natural environments.
Slow design developed from the larger slow movement. Although the term was only recently introduced, the idea of thoughtful design looks back to a time when buildings and furniture were made with great craftsmanship (手艺) and by hand-before the mass-produced throwaway furniture took over. You can think of the term “slow” as a celebration of timelessness: both the timelessness of a piece and the timelessness of the relationship between that piece and its owner.
One example of slow design today is what’s been dubbed the brown furniture revival (复兴). Brown furniture refers to the heavy wooden furnishings that were popular in your grandparents’ day but suddenly fell out of style at the turn of the century. Brown furniture is often associated with dark woods, such as trees like mahogany, walnut, and teak, that take decades to reach maturity and true craftsmanship to transform into functional pieces.
Today’s furniture industry is dominated by the $13.1 billion-and-growing global ready-to-assemble(RTA) furniture market. RTA furniture is usually constructed from low-quality fiberboard, which lasts a small part of traditional furniture’s lifespan (寿命).The weight of furniture landfilled in 2018 was 9. 7 million tons, 4. 5 times what was landfilled in 1960.
In a less direct way, the idea of timelessness also lends itself to a lower environmental impact. Besides their demonstrated physical durability, slow materials and design are meant to outlive trends and never be thrown out simply because they’re out of style.
As second-hand shopping becomes more appealing to today’s young generation-because of its low environmental impact and affordability-the brown furniture of yesteryear is making a comeback.
128．Why is the first paragraph written?
A．To explain a new term.
B．To present the topic of the text.
C．To provide background information.
D．To highlight the importance of slowness.
129．What does the underlined word “dubbed” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Known as.
B．Mistaken for.
C．Compared to.
D．Connected with.
130．What can be inferred about RTA furniture?
A．It is out of date.
B．It has a long lifespan.
C．It is heavy and expensive.
D．It has bad effects on the environment.
131．What is good news for the brown furniture revival?
A．Grandparents are buying new furniture.
B．The brown furniture will soon be mass-produced.
C．The young generation favors second-hand shopping.
D．Materials for slow design furniture are more available.

（2023届广东省湛江市高三一模考试英语试题）Art and science may seem like polar opposites. One involves the creative flow of ideas, and the other cold, hard data. In fact, the two have much in common. Both require a lot of creativity. Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, teamed up with other Johns Hopkins researchers and six local schools and researched into this. The study finds art can help students remember better what they learn in science class.
The researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They took the traditional science lessons and created art-focused versions of them. In a traditional science classroom, for instance, students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused class, they might sing or rap the information instead. Another example: traditional science classes often use charts and graphs(图表). The art-focused classrooms instead had students create collages(拼贴画) and other types of art.  Everyone would get the same information—just learn it in different ways.
The team then randomly assigned each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that approach for the entire unit about three weeks. When they switched to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. Every unit was taught both ways to different groups of students.
Before and after each phase of the experiment, researchers tested students on how much they could remember what they had learned. The test result indicated students who started off in regular classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they switched back to a regular science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques after switching back to a traditional class. Some continued to sketch or sing to help them remember information. Researchers and teachers also find there’s a broader benefit to using art in the classroom. Students in art-focused classes develop more creativity and learn to collaborate(协作) better skills.
132．What method does a teacher often apply to traditional science lessons?
A．Creating collages.
B．Using charts and graphs.
C．Switching between topics.
D．Singing the information of the textbook.
133．What happened in the research?
A．Researchers assigned students different learning tasks.
B．Teachers coached students on choosing learning styles.
C．Experiments were conducted among different age groups.
D．Each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one.
134．How was the research carried out?
A．By sorting data.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By analyzing cause and effect.

【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了戒酒后想要把控自己生活的迪根喜欢烘焙，原来给别人送自制的饼干是想和别人搞好关系，这个爱好促成了她开启烘焙事业，同时因为自身的经历，她在招募员工时很包容，不嫌弃对方是否有相关工作经历或者不光彩的过去。
4．推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegan said. (2013年，迪根在与酗酒的斗争中获胜后，试图控制自己的生活。她确实戒酒了，但她很难与人重新建立联系。事实证明，与他人对视都很困难。迪根说：‘我有点像一副躯壳，真的没有很多生活技能或自信。’)”可知，2013年时候的Deegan很难与人重新建立联系，甚至都害怕与他人对视，可知，Deegan 在人际交往方面很吃力。故选B项。
5．细节理解题。根据第三段“Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. ‘Feeding people is such a universal love language, ’ she said. (迪根开始把她自制的饼干带到人们的家里，这帮助她与人们重新建立联系。她说：‘喂饱人们是一种普世的爱的语言。’)”可知，Deegan 认为给人送食物能表达爱，所以她经常给别人送上自己做的饼干；第四段“Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. (迪根的生活在2015年发生了改变。在朋友们的鼓励下，她挑战自己，看能不能卖掉一个派。她卖了几十个！她开始在自己的小公寓里烘焙，并最终在2017年推出了正式业务。)”可知，也正是这种出于好意的为他人提供烘焙食品的行为，为后来Deegan 烘焙店生意奠定了基础，故选D项。
6．推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking.She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. (2013年，迪根在与酗酒的斗争中获胜后，试图控制自己的生活。她确实戒了酒，但她很难与人重新建立联系)”可知，迪根以前是一个嗜酒之人，但已戒了；最后一段中“When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don't have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ve got a job,’ Deegan told the reporter. (迪根说，当她需要更多帮助时，她会找那些对工作充满热情的人，即使他们没有任何经验。在经历了自己的挣扎之后，她意识到工作的愿望比拥有某种技能更好。她成为了第二次机会的雇主，雇佣监狱或收容所的女性。迪根告诉记者：‘你只需要走进那扇门，做好准备，愿意、能够、兴奋地出现并工作，你就得到了一份工作。’)”可知，有酗酒史的Deegan的面包店不关注应聘者是否有相关工作经历或者不光彩的过去，故有着特别开放的用人政策（open-door employment policy），这是特别之处。故选C项。
7．推理判断题。根据第四段中“She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. (她花了四年时间开发了一种派皮饼干食谱，从此成为她生意的面包和黄油。)”可知，迪根很执着（Persistent），花4年时间研发一个食谱；第五段中“When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don't have anyexperience. And she became a second- chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. (迪根说，当她需要更多帮助时，她会找那些对工作充满热情的人，即使他们没有任何经验。在经历了自己的挣扎之后，她意识到工作的愿望比拥有某种技能更好。她成为了第二次机会的雇主，雇佣监狱或收容所的女性。)”可知，迪根善于接受（receptive）那些有缺点或能改过自新的人当员工。故选B项。

【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章指出人们对失败的理解、态度会决定会影响到他们的创造性产出，相比轻言放弃的固定型思维的人，具有成长型思维的人用发展的眼光看待失败，更具有创造力。
8．推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group. (如果你经历过失败，并将其视为一次提升自己的机会，那么你已经将自己置于成长型群体中。)”，以及第三段第一句“According to the research, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. (根据研究，成长组的人往往比固定组的人产生更多的创造性想法。)”可知，对于成长性思维的人来说，失败只是一个垫脚石，从失败中他们能生成更多创新的点子，所以具有成长型思维的人愿意接受挑战，故选A项。
9．词句猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“If you experience failure and give up, you have conveniently assigned yourself to the fixed group. If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group. (如果你经历了失败，放弃了，你就很方便地把自己分配到固定的群体。如果你经历过失败，并将其视为a stepping stone，那么你已经将自己置于成长型群体中。)”可知，固定型思维的人遇到失败就放弃，而与之相对的是，成长型思维的人把失败当作有帮助的，可以促进发展，可推知，划线短语a stepping stone和D项“A chance to advance. (一次提高的机会)”意思相近，故选D项。
10．推理判断题。根据第三段“According to the research, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. (根据研究，具有成长型思维的人往往比固定型思维组的人产生更多的创造性想法)”可知，这句话为段首核心观点。下文“To illustrate, consider Thomas Edison. In the 19th century, Edison attempted to improve the light bulb and experimented with numerous materials. Over a thousand trials, he managed to discover an element sustaining light. A reporter once asked him, ‘It seems as though you’ve tried many times and continue to fail each time. Why is that?’ Edison answered, ‘I have not failed. I’ve just found 10, 000 ways that won’t work.’ (为了说明这一点，以托马斯·爱迪生为例。在19世纪，爱迪生试图改进灯泡，并试验了许多材料。经过一千多次试验，他终于发现了一种维持光的元素。一位记者曾经问他：‘你似乎已经尝试了很多次，但每次都失败了。为什么呢？’爱迪生回答说：‘我没有失败。我发现了一万种行不通的方法。’)”可知，此处为典型举例表述，结合其内容可知，作者提到爱迪生是以其为例来支撑本段首句提出的观点。故选C项。
11．主旨大意题。通读全文，本文第一、二段主要介绍了具有成长型思维的人和具有固定型思维的人对待失败的截然不同的态度和反应；第三、四段论证了具有成长型思维的人，善于用发展的眼光看待失败，相比轻言放弃的固定型思维的人，更具有创造力，可本文的大意为：对失败的理解、态度会决定会影响到他们的创造性产出。故选A项。

【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了对社交机器人的研究：以Robin为例，处于互动前沿的机器可以对情感做出反应，并在情感上照顾弱者、老人和儿童，作者认为用社交机器人来看护将会是一个不可阻挡的有益的趋势。
12．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Research into social robots has shown that machines that are at the cutting edge of interaction can respond to feelings and emotionally care for the weak, the elderly and children. (对社交机器人的研究表明，处于互动前沿的机器可以对情绪做出反应，并在情感上照顾弱者、老人和儿童。)”可知，社交机器人可以对情绪（feelings）作出回应并在情感上（emotionally）关爱弱者、老年人和小孩，这是它的不同之处，与题目中的uniquely相呼应，故B项“教患有精神疾病的青少年情绪表达”与文章内容相符，其余选项均非情感上的帮助。故选B项。
13．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Robin was designed as a companion robot to provide emotional support for children receiving medical treatment. Robin explains medical procedures to them, plays games and tells stories, and during treatment distracts them to reduce their sense of pain. The robot uses AI to understand other people’s feelings, remembering facial expressions and conversations to build dialogue for follow-up sessions. In trials at the Wigmore Medical (UK) Pediatric Clinic in Yerevan, Armenia, the team found that Robin led to a 34% decrease in stress and an increase in happiness of 26% in the 120 children who interacted with him at least once. (罗宾被设计成一个陪伴机器人，为接受治疗的儿童提供情感支持。罗宾向他们解释医疗程序，玩游戏，讲故事，并在治疗期间分散他们的注意力，以减轻他们的痛感。该机器人使用人工智能来理解他人的感受，记住面部表情和对话，为后续会话建立对话。在亚美尼亚埃里温威格莫尔医学（英国）儿科诊所的试验中，研究小组发现，在120名使用罗宾机器人的儿童中，他们的压力减少了34%，幸福感增加了26%)”可知，本段介绍了Robin这款为接受治疗的孩子提供情感支持而设计的机器人的实际用途及其带来的积极影响。故选C项。
14．推理判断题。根据第四段“Population trends suggest that the demand for robots to work alongside people in care situations will grow over time. By 2050, the number of people aged 65 and over globally will be 1.6 billion (17%), roughly twice the proportion of what it is today. An extra 3.5 million care workers will be needed and that will include emotionally intelligent robots. (人口趋势表明，随着时间的推移，对机器人与护理人员一起工作的需求将会增长。到2050年，全球65岁及以上的人口数量将达到16亿，占17%，大约是目前比例的两倍。英国还需要350万名护工，其中包括具有情感智能的机器人。)”可知，本段的中心句为第一句：人口趋势表明机器人与护理人员一起工作的需求将会逐步增长。接着，进一步阐述了原因：是未来老龄化人口的增长将导致护理人员需求的增加，其中也包括具有情感智能的机器人。因此，第四段是通过分析原因（analyze causes）展开的。故选B项。
15．推理判断题。根据第一段“Research into social robots has shown that machines that are at the cutting edge of interaction can respond to feelings and emotionally care for the weak, the elderly and children. (对社交机器人的研究表明，处于互动前沿的机器可以对情绪做出反应，并在情感上照顾弱者、老人和儿童。)”，第三段“The problem with this is the fear that human jobs may be lost as robots become better at handling social situations. (问题在于，随着机器人变得更擅长处理社交场合，人们担心人类的工作可能会失去。)”，第四段“Population trends suggest that the demand for robots to work alongside people in care situations will grow over time. (人口趋势表明，随着时间的推移，对机器人与护理人员一起工作的需求将会增长。)”可知，机器人在护理工作中会越来越多，呈增长趋势；以及最后一段“But new models are being introduced that could make the breakthrough. Human emotions are difficult to define, but as trust in robots increases, breaking down the psychological barrier becomes easier to imagine. (但可能会取得突破的新型号正在推出。人类的情感很难定义，但随着对机器人信任的增加，打破心理障碍变得更容易想象。)”可知，关于机器人取代人类来工作，因为能取得突破的社交机器人新型号的推出，以及人们对机器人的信任的增加，打破心理障碍也变得更有可能，作者对于社交机器人取代护理人员这一前景抱有期待，认为“机器人取代人类来做护理工作”有益且不可阻挡。故选D项。

【导语】本文是应用文。文章是为可以参加澳大利亚西部边缘发生的日全食的海上巡航做广告。
16．细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike other cruises for this event, ours has the well-known astronomer Abigail Beall to accompany you. (与其他游轮不同的是，我们有著名的天文学家阿比盖尔·比尔陪同您。)”可知，专家的指导让这个游轮与众不同。故选A。
17．细节理解题。根据表格Oceanview cabin后的“Per guest based on two people sharing £2, 199(按两人分摊每位客人2199英镑计算)”可知，夫妇两人要2199乘以2=4398英镑。故选D。
18．推理判断题。根据第一段“One of nature's most remarkable events-a total solar eclipse(日蚀)－will take place on the western edge of Australia on April 20th, 2023 and we have chosen the perfect way for you to enjoy this event: on a cruise(航游)at sea.(自然界最引人注目的事件之一——日全食——将于2023年4月20日在澳大利亚西部边缘发生，我们为你选择了享受这一事件的完美方式:在海上巡航。)”可知，本文的目的是为一次特别巡游做广告。故选B。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Deveza用自己的一半肝脏交换别人的肾脏给自己的妈妈，并取得了成功。这一成功的案例具有积极的影响。
19．细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“Deveza came up with a different plan. In 2017, she started the world’s first paired exchange of different organs between living donors, exchanging half her liver for someone else’s kidney.(Deveza提出了一个不同的计划。2017年，她开始了世界上第一次活体捐赠者之间的不同器官配对交换，用自己的一半肝脏交换别人的肾脏。)”可知，Deveza为了帮助妈妈移植合适的肾脏，用自己的一半肝脏作为交换。故选D项。
20．主旨大意题。通过阅读，结合第三段的关键句“… there are never enough organs.(但器官永远都不够用)”，“people with kidney failure are increasingly receiving donated organs from relatives or friends(肾衰竭患者越来越多地接受亲友捐赠的器官)”和“doctors may be able to find pairs of would-be donors who can each give a kidney to the other’s relative(医生可能会找到成对的潜在捐赠者，他们各自可以将一个肾脏捐给对方的亲属)”可知，该段主要讲述了器官移植的现状。故选C项。
21．推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“The team hope that the ground-breaking case will inspire more people to consider doing the same. Roberts says that direct exchanges involving two donors could enable up to thirty extra living-donor liver transplants a year—a ten per cent increase.(研究小组希望这个开创性的案例能激励更多的人考虑做同样的事情。罗伯茨说，涉及两名捐赠者的直接交换每年可增加多达30例活体肝脏移植——增加10%。)”可知，他们两个的“器官互换”的成功可以对其他人产生激励作用，从而使直接交换器官的案例增加。由此可推知，这产生了令人满意的结果。故选D项。
22．主旨大意题。通过阅读文章可知，文章第二段内容“In 2017, she started the world’s first paired exchange of different organs between living donors, exchanging half her liver for someone else’s kidney.( 2017年，她开始了世界上第一次活体捐赠者之间的不同器官配对交换，用自己的一半肝脏交换别人的肾脏。)”为核心话题，即，文章主要讲述了Deveza用自己的一半肝脏交换别人的肾脏给自己的妈妈，并取得了成功，后文则以此为延申讲述了其可能产生的积极影响。因此，选项A“My Liver, Your Kidney(我的肝，你的肾)”不仅贴合主旨，且作为标题更具有吸引力。故选A项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新研究。新研究发现朋友的帖子对人们的影响比名人的更大，让人们更容易与朋友进行比较。但是作者建议人们放下手机，心存感激，努力过自己的生活。
23．细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at content shared by celebrities, new research has found. (一项新的研究发现，与看名人分享的内容相比，参与朋友分享的社交媒体可能更具破坏性)”可知新研究发现朋友的帖子对我们的影响比名人的更大，故选B。
24．推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“Viren Swami, Professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University, believes this is partly because we know it’s hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influences, but when we’re comparing ourselves to our friends, it feels like we should- or could-live the way they do. (Anglia Ruskin大学社会心理学教授Viren Swami认为，这部分是因为我们知道很难获得名人或影响力的生活，但当我们将自己与朋友进行比较时，感觉我们应该或者可以像他们那样生活)”可知根据Swam的说法，我们更容易与朋友进行比较是因为他们的生活方式更容易见得到，故选C。
25．词义猜测题。文章划线单词下一句讲到“We all have one area in our lives that triggers(触 发)us. Maybe you’ve been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media, envying your school friend who just landed their dream role. (我们的生活中都有一个领域触发了我们。也许你已经找了好几个月的新工作，你在社交媒体上发现自己，羡慕你的学校朋友，他刚刚找到了他们梦想中的角色。)”可知划线单词所在句子的意思是：但这不仅仅局限于身体形象。所以第六段中带下划线的单词可能的意思是“受限制的”，故选A。
26．推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone. So, put down your phone, get offline, be thankful and try to live your own life. (每个人都有自己的奋斗，生活对任何人来说都不完美。所以，放下手机，下线，心存感激，努力过自己的生活。)”可知作者建议人们停止比较，做你自己，故选B。

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍好奇心可以帮助记忆和提高学习兴趣。
27．推理判断题。根据第二段“Consider a study at the University of California at Davis in 2014. The researchers first asked each participant to rate their curiosity about learning the answers to a series of questions, such as “What does the term ‘dinosaur’ actually mean?” The participants then lay in an fMRI brain scanner (扫描仪) while the same questions were presented, followed shortly after by the answers. The participants were then tested on their recollection of the facts an hour later. (想想2014年加州大学戴维斯分校的一项研究。研究人员首先要求每个参与者对一系列问题的答案进行好奇心评估，比如“‘恐龙”这个词到底是什么意思?”然后，参与者躺在功能核磁共振扫描仪中，同时提出同样的问题，然后很快就会给出答案。一小时后，测试参与者对这些事实的记忆。)”和第三段的“The effects of curiosity on later recall were striking.(好奇心对后来回忆的影响是显著的。)”可推断，这项研究关注的是好奇心对记忆力的影响。故选C。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers first asked each participant to rate their curiosity about learning the answers to a series of questions (研究人员首先要求每个参与者对一系列问题的答案进行好奇心评估)”可知，首先向参与者提出问题的目的是要衡量他们对问题的好奇心。故选C。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段“Dopamine is normally associated with reward, but animal studies suggest that it can also enhance the formation of new neural(神经的) connections. It looked as if the feeling of curiosity was helping prepare the brain to absorb the new and important information, and this then resulted in a more stable memory. (多巴胺通常与奖赏有关，但动物研究表明，它也能促进新的神经连接的形成。似乎好奇的感觉有助于大脑准备吸收新的重要信息，这会导致记忆更加稳定。)”可推断，多巴胺促进新的神经连接的形成，有助于大脑吸收新知识，导致记忆稳定，因此推断它可能有利于学习。故选B。
30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“This additional, and unexpected, memory boost could be extremely useful whenever we’re trying to learn something new and complicated. We’re unlikely, after all, to find every single element of our studies interesting. But if we can develop some curiosity about at least some of the facts, we may find that the rest of the material also sticks far more easily. (当我们努力学习新的复杂的东西时，这种额外的、意想不到的记忆增强可能会非常有用。毕竟，我们不太可能发现我们研究中的每一个元素都很有趣。但是，如果我们能对至少一些事实产生好奇心，我们可能就会发现，其余的材料也更容易铭记在心。)”可知，这个意外的发现表明好奇心可以激发学习兴趣。故选A。

32．推理判断题。根据本文最后一句“Today, they still haven’t managed to bring cars in — it sits at the bottom of a 400-foot cliff (悬崖). (今天，他们仍然没有设法把汽车带进来——它坐落在400英尺高的悬崖底部)”可知，车辆无法进入Clovelly，所以游客要步行游览。故选C项。
33．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Here are some of the prettiest small towns across Europe, from humble fishing towns to hilltop medieval power bases. (这里有一些欧洲最美丽的小镇，从简陋的渔村到山顶中世纪的权力基地。)”可知，本文旨在介绍欧洲最美丽的小镇，介绍旅游胜地。故选D项。

34．细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Now I’m fairly certain that no matter what picture you just thought up, that person comes complete with a stiff upper lip and a cup of tea in their hand, because that’s what the English do.(现在我很确定，不管你刚刚想到的是什么画面，那个人都是紧绷着上嘴唇，手里拿着一杯茶，因为英国人就是这样做的)”可知，人们认为英国人喝茶很典型。故选A。
35．细节理解题。根据第二段“And while it’s fairly common knowledge that Westerners have China to thank for the original cultivation of tea drinking, it’s far less known that it was the Portuguese who inspired its popularity in England in particular, one Portuguese woman.(众所周知，西方人要感谢中国是饮茶的起源，但鲜为人知的是，是葡萄牙人，尤其是一位葡萄牙妇女，激发了饮茶在英国的流行)”和第三段第一句“Travel back in time to 1662, when Catherine of Braganza (daughter of Portugal’s King John IV) won the hand of England’s newly restored monarch, King Charles II, with the help of a very large dowry (嫁妆) that included money, spices, treasures and the highly profitable ports of Tangiers and Bombay.(追溯到1662年，布拉干萨的凯瑟琳（葡萄牙国王约翰四世的女儿）在一大笔嫁妆的帮助下赢得了英国新复辟君主查理二世的手，嫁妆包括金钱、香料、珍宝以及利润丰厚的坦吉尔和孟买港口)”可知，英国国王查理二世的王后促进了英国的饮茶风尚。故选D。
36．推理判断题。根据倒第二段第一句“When she relocated up north to join King Charles, she is said to have packed loose-leaf tea as part of her personal belongings; it would also have likely been part of her dowry.(当她搬到北方加入查尔斯国王时，据说她把散叶茶作为私人物品的一部分；这很可能也是她嫁妆的一部分)”和最后一段中的“but what is for sure is that tea was already popular among the upper class of Portugal due to the country’s direct trade line to China via Macau(但可以肯定的是，由于葡萄牙通过澳门与中国的直接贸易关系，茶叶在葡萄牙上层阶级中已经很受欢迎)”可知，茶在葡萄牙比在英国流行得早。故选C。
37．主旨大意题。根据第二段“And while it’s fairly common knowledge that Westerners have China to thank for the original cultivation of tea drinking, it’s far less known that it was the Portuguese who inspired its popularity in England in particular, one Portuguese woman.(众所周知，西方人要感谢中国是饮茶的起源，但鲜为人知的是，是葡萄牙人，尤其是一位葡萄牙妇女，激发了饮茶在英国的流行)”，第三段第一句中的“Travel back in time to 1662(追溯到1662年)”和第四段“When she relocated up north to join King Charles, she is said to have packed loose-leaf tea as part of her personal belongings; it would also have likely been part of her dowry. A fun legend has it that the boxes were marked Iransporte de Ervas Aromaticas (Transport of Aromatic Herbs) later shortened to T. E. A.(当她搬到北方加入查尔斯国王时，据说她把散叶茶作为私人物品的一部分；这很可能也是她嫁妆的一部分。一个有趣的传说是，这些盒子被标记为Iransporte de Ervas Aromaticas（芳香草药运输），后来被简称为T.E.A)”可知，文章主要是讲英国茶饮背后的故事。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文中主要就不吃早餐是否会变胖的问题展开论述，引用了各种研究结果和发现。
38．词句猜测题。根据后文“as long as you control those high-calorie desires and stay active.(只要你控制对高热量食物的渴望并保持活跃)”可知，只要控制对高热量食物的渴望并保持活跃，对于那些不吃早餐的人来说，好消息是体重并不是不可避免的，故画线词意思是“不可避免的”。故选B。
39．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some researchers have found that you may even eat fewer calories overall, and end up using your body’s fat reserves for energy, which can actually help you lose weight.(一些研究人员发现，你甚至可以摄入更少的卡路里，最终利用身体的脂肪储备来获取能量，这实际上可以帮助你减肥)”可知，有些不吃早餐的人会减肥因为他们摄入的卡路里更少。故选D。
40．主旨大意题。根据第三段“However, weight isn’t the only consideration: studies show that breakfast-skippers are likely to exercise less. This may be because they have lower energy levels-after eight hours or so without food, the body will have used up most of its stores of easy-to-access energy during sleep. Morning fasters are also more likely to have unhealthy, but appetite-suppressing habits, such as smoking or drinking a lot of coffee.(然而，体重并不是唯一的考虑因素：研究表明，不吃早餐的人可能锻炼得更少。这可能是因为他们的能量水平较低——在不进食8小时左右后，身体将在睡眠中消耗掉大部分易于获取的能量。早起禁食的人也更有可能有不健康但抑制食欲的习惯，比如吸烟或喝大量咖啡)”可知，第三段主要讲了不吃早餐的影响。故选C。
41．推理判断题。根据第二段“Research shows that although avoiding breakfast will make you hungrier and you might make up for that with a bigger lunch, this won’t necessarily make you “fatter” — on average, those who skip breakfast don’t eat more across the whole day than if they didn’t skip it.(研究表明，尽管不吃早餐会让你更饿，你可能会用一顿丰盛的午餐来弥补，但这并不一定会让你“更胖”——平均而言，不吃早餐的人一整天都不会比不吃早餐的人吃得更多)”以及第三段“However, weight isn’t the only consideration: studies show that breakfast-skippers are likely to exercise less.(然而，体重并不是唯一的考虑因素：研究表明，不吃早餐的人可能锻炼得更少)”可推知，文中不涉及作者对不吃早餐的态度，即作者对不吃早餐的态度是客观的。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型的电池，同时讲述了该电池的工作原理以及相关应用。
42．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Other e-waste is more hidden, such as electronic single-use medical diagnostic kits, environmental sensors, and smart labels that contain one-off batteries and other equipment.(其他电子垃圾则较为隐蔽，如电子一次性医疗诊断包、环境传感器以及包含一次性电池和其他设备的智能标签。)”以及第二段中““It’s these small batteries that are big problems, ” says public health scientist Dele Ogunseitan, who was not involved in developing the battery. ”Nobody really pays attention to where they end up.(“这些小电池才是大问题，”公共卫生科学家Dele Ogunseitan说，他没有参与电池的开发。没有人真正关注它们最终会去哪里。)”可知，由于较小的一次性电池垃圾较为隐蔽，所以很少有人会真正的关注它们最终会去哪里。由此推断这些较小的一次性电池垃圾是亟需解决的。故选B。
43．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“A traditional battery’s components are packaged in plastic and metal; in the new battery, the anode and cathode are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper. (传统电池的组件用塑料和金属包装；在新电池中，阳极和阴极是印刷在纸张正面和背面的墨水。)”可知，新型电池中阳极和阴极是印在一张纸的正反面的墨水。故选C。
44．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“That paper is filled with salt, which dissolves (溶解)when the paper is dampened with water. The resulting saltwater solution acts as the electrolyte.(这张纸里装满了盐，当纸被水浸湿时，盐就会溶解。由此产生的盐水溶液充当电解质。)”以及最后一段中“Add just a couple of drops of water, however, and the salt dissolves, allowing electrons to flow. (然而，只要加入几滴水，盐就会溶解，让电子流动。)”可知，水是用来使新电池开始工作的。故选D。
45．推理判断题。通读全文以及第三段中“Their new paper in Scientific Reports describes a paper battery developed from environmentally friendly materials that could eventually present a sustainable alternative to the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.(他们在《科学报告》上发表的新论文描述了一种由环保材料开发的纸电池，最终可能成为低功耗设备中常见的有害电池的可持续替代品。)”可知，文章介绍的是一种新型的电池，介绍了该电池的工作原理以及相关应用。故可以推断文章出自先进科技部分。故选A。
