That's where,after his brother died from cancer,Patrick Bringley quit his job and put on a blue uniform to become a guard.He writes that he just wanted to stand still for a while,but ended up staying for 10 years-studying the Masters,pondering the mummies,and thinking about life, art,and beauty.It was so impressive that I actually planned a trip to The Met! -Samantha Balaban,producer,Weekend Edition 高三英语试题 第3页（共10页） Artificial:A Love Story Amy Kurzweil In Artificial:A Love Story,New Yorker cartoonist Amy Kurzweil describes how she and her father,a futurist,technologist and inventor Ray Kurzweil,harness the power of artificial intelligence to connect with the grandfather she never knew.Fred Kurzweil was a talented conductor and pianist from Vienna who fled the Nazis in 1938 to begin a new life in the USA.Through words and detailed pen and ink drawings,this smart and spiritual memoir demonstrates the relationship between technology and humanity. -Chloe Veltman,correspondent,Culture Desk 21.Who are probably interested in the book Henry,Like Always?

B.Because it conveys the amazing dream of those futurists. C.Because it is a cartoon with the theme of the family love. D.Because it shows the links between technology and reality. B I started in the profession of journalism in an age of typewriters and telex machines.The technology is totally different now but the principles of honest journalism remain the same. My first job was at the Bradford Telegraph and Argus (T&A).The news editor,Don Alred, taught me how to get the balance between information and entertainment and to respect the readers,who could always write in to complain. Later,I went to London Reuters as a trainee,where we had a slang expression-GSIT- which meant "good story,if true".And it was our job to make sure the stories were true.At Reuters,four senior editors drilled into us that we were the witnesses of the world.Accuracy and balance were to journalists what basic hygiene was to medics.So as one of very few women in the newsroom,I never felt that my gender held me back.Instead,I realised that competence- "being a good operator"-was all that mattered. I increasingly learnt subtle things about the craft of journalism.As essential as it was to be prepared,it was vital to keep an open mind because you never knew what you would find when you went out into the field.What you found was what you had to report,not what you imagined or wanted to be true.Once,I went to Stavanger in Norway with a fixed idea in my head:American oil workers had come to the city to take advantage of the North Sea oil boom.I was convinced that they would end up raising hell in the area,and,before leaving.sold the story to my editors with that angle.In reality,it turned out to be the other way round.I had to recast my planned story.It was a good lesson for me. 高三英语试题 第4页（共10页） In journalism,you never know who your readers are going to be.and you cannot guess their response.How they respond is their right.You state the facts and leave them to draw their own conclusions.Truth can be bitter.But truth can't be replaced."Beauty is truth,truth beauty- that is all you know on earth,and all you need to know,"as the poet Keats put it,so beautifully truthfully. 24.What do we know about the author's work experience? A.She stood out at T&A for her wonderful performance. B.She respected the readers despite their dissatisfaction. C.She learned most of her professional skills from Don Alred. D.She received many complaints from the readers at Reuters. 25.How did the author feel about working at Reuters? A.She should improve her competence. B.She was not treated as equally as men. C.She was quite confused as a trainee. D.She would have a promising career. 26.The experience in Stavanger is probably that a journalist should A.be very sensitive to unexpected events B.be prepared before covering an event C.maintain communication with the editors D.not judge before actually looking into it 27.According to the author,what is the most important principle in journalism? A.Balance. B.Independence. C.Truthfulness. D.Responsibility. C Flights are getting bumpier(使颠簸的as the climate changes,.scientists have revealed.And it is only set to continue or worsen in the coming years. The study,conducted by scientists at the University of Reading in the U.K.,shows an increase in clear-air turbulence-unexpected air currents in cloudless air.These invisible currents are potentially dangerous to aircraft.The researchers said the increases are in line with the effects of climate change. Research in the past decade has shown that climate change will increase clear-air turbulence in the future."We now have evidence suggesting that the increase has already begun,"said professor Paul Williams,an atmospherie scientist at the University of Reading."We should be investing in improved turbulence forecasting and detection systems,to prevent the rougher air from translating into bumpier flights in the coming decades,"he added. The study focused on one of the world's busiest flight routes over the North Atlantic Ocean. The results show that it has seen a 55%increase in annual duration of severe turbulence.In 1979,the duration recorded was 17.7 hours.In 2020,it was 27.4 hours.Turbulence increased by 37%,from 70 hours to 96.1 hours.The increase is due to warmer air from CO:emissions. This increases a sudden change in wind speed or direction in jet streams. 高三英语试题 第5页（共10页） Clear-air turbulence is most severe over mountainous areas and also close to thunderstorms. While it hasn't been known to cause aircraft crashes,it has caused damage to aircraft and injuries to passengers."Airlines will need to start thinking about how they will manage the increased turbulence.It costs the industry $150 to $500 million annually in the United States alone,"Ph.Dresearcher Mark Prosser said. "Every additional minute spent travelling through turbulence increases wear-and-tear )on the aircraft,and the risk of injuries to passengers and flight attendants,"he added. 28.What does the text mainly talk about? A.The increase in turbulence damages aircraft B.The turbulence duration has increased greatly. C.Climate change contributes to bumpier flights. D.Flights routes are in line with the climate change. 29.What can we learn from what professor Paul Williams said? A.He was relieved that turbulence was not dangerous. B.He was confident of the future of the prevention systems. C.He was aware of what to do to reduce bumpier flights. D.He was worried flights would become bumpier and bumpier. 30.Why are the figures listed in the fourth paragraph? A.To reveal the great change in turbulence duration over time. B.To introduce how terrible the flights were in turbulence duration. C.To tell readers about the effect of turbulence on the flight route. D.To stress the relationship between increased turbulence and flights. 31.What do we know about clear-air turbulence? A.It is the most powerful to aircraft around the world. B.It leads to aircraft crashes and climate change. C.It can both damage airlines and kill passengers. D.It puts the airlines under huge financial pressure. D As a kid.I hated having to memorise those long-winded speeches of Macbeth and Hamlet. Only later did I realise how brilliant Shakespeare was and how knowing his plays gives you a facility for language and deep insight into human psychology. Now,400 years later,in today's world,quick rewards,and smooth-talking influencers,the dishonest characters in Shakespeare's works are still very much alive.For instance,whenever I see a politician defend himself on TV with righteous indignation(义愤填膺)，I remember a line from the play Hamlet:"The Lady doth protest too much,me-thinks."It is spoken in response to the overacting of a character in the play created by Prince Hamlet to prove his uncle had killed his father.Today the phrase is commonly used to indicate doubt of someone's sincerity. A good education grounds you in permanent wisdom that helps you cope with all your victories and disasters.Learning algebra (and statistics helps you make better financial 高三英语试题 第6页（共10页） decisions and basic knowledge about economics helps you get out of the stock market before the bubble bursts.I know how hard it can be for your teenage brain to focus on things that don't make sense in your life right now.But my advice is to do it anyway because one day this knowledge will come in handy. Take,for example,the 18th century English economist and scholar Thomas Robert Malthus wrote about how the human population was growing at too fast a rate to be sustainable.After reading his works Charles Darwin developed the theory of biological evolution. People often say that in the age of Al,you don't look for jobs-you look for opportunities instead.To recognize these,you will need to be prepared.More specifically,you should cherish the opportunity to learn new things while never losing sight of the basic principle.The great thing about being grounded in the basics of different areas of study is that you can mix and match them to apply them to all sorts of situations. 32.What does the underlined word "ground"mean in the third paragraph? A.Lay the foundation for. B.Keep up with. C.Take advantage of. D.Make the most of. 33.What is the purpose of mentioning the story of Thomas Robert Malthus? A.To show his deep insight into sustainable development. B.To prove the success of Darwin is based on his ideas. C.To draw readers'attention to the fast-growing population. D.To inspire everyone to make efforts to learn skills. 34.How can we seize opportunities in the age of Al? A.By making preparations for finding jobs. B.By grasping knowledge on the basic rules. C.By applying theories to different situations. D.By developing practical and critical theories. 35.Which of the following can be the best title of the text? A.How the Opportunities Hit Me on the Head B.Reading Shakespeare Opens the Door to Wisdom C.Good Education Pushes Individuals Hard Forward D.You Never Know When What You Know Will Come in Handy 第二节（共5小题：每小题3分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 How to seek professional help for depression People with depression can feel very lonely.36 Here's how to seek professional help for depression. 37 Your doctor will be able to advise you on the various options for talking therapy (for a range of mental health problems including anxiety,depression and schizophrenia.Painful experiences can be hard to talk about,but professionals understand this.Be as open as you can so that you can receive the best help. 高三英语试题 第7页（共10页） Try going for counselling(咨询) The counsellors will listen and may ask questions. 38 This therapy may be suitable for mild anxiety and depression and can help you cope with problems such as anger. relationship issues and panic attacks.

Now, as a new student at the university, you will probably need some guidance to help you to use the library effectively. Some of you have asked about a guided tour but we find that this rather confuses people. So, in this first week, we run a series of talks which focus on different aspects of the library and its resources. OK, as you see, the computers are increasingly used as a research tool. Many students do most of their research on the Internet and the library computers are permanently online. Having found what you need, you’ll find you can readily save texts on your personal computer space to print off when you need. Naturally we do still have the full range of classic reference books available for you to use. Although there is a Section Manager for each part of the library, they are very busy. So, if you do get stuck looking for things, you should ask the rel⁃ evant Cataloguing Assistant. As your Training Supervisor, I just oversee your work for a week and will not be around af⁃ ter this initial week. 高三英语答案 第2页（共3页） 阅读：（每小题3分，满分60分） 21-25 CBDBA 26-30 DCCCA 31-35 DABCD 36-40 EAFGC 完形填空:（每小题2分，满分30分） 41-45 DACDC 46-50 BBAAC 51-55 DCDDA 语法填空：（每小题2分，满分20分） 56. when 57. done 58. are destroyed 59. from/against 60. more 61. but 62.

Weak and tired, he was always napping in the bed, with Scruffy lying beside on the floor. Bathing in the soft and warm sunlight pouring through the window, Scruffy kept grandfather company in silence, occasionally raising his head when Grandfather wanted to roll over. Even when we helped him have medicine, Scruffy just straightened his back and watched us until he lay back. Sadly, this harsh winter took my grandfather away, leaving us and Scruffy behind. After Grandfather’s death this winter, we had to rehome Scruffy. The whole family had a discussion together about his new home. Scruffy seemed to be lost in great grief, still remained seated beside the grandfather’s bed and quit eating the whole day. With no one to talk to, I tried to stroke and chat with Scruffy. Gradually, the dog’s eyes lit up. Finding the excitement in his eyes, I broke into the meeting room, shouting,“ I will take Scruffy home.”Yes, it is the comfort between human and animals that heals the pain in the heart and unites us together. 高三英语答案 第3页（共3页） null
