But if you ask anyone in the MIT departments of Chemistry and Physics, or the News Office—the Institute divisions that are fortunate enough to have Greg Walton as their IT service provider, they’ll acknowledge that not only is Walton the best, but whatever the issue is, he will see it through until all involved are satisfied with the outcome. Walton usually arrives on the scene with endless positive energy that transforms a technical annoyance into an enjoyable interaction, regardless of how many other IT fires he has already put out that day. The qualities that make him a star employee extend far beyond the campus. After spending his early years in foster care, Walton lived with his great-grandmother, but mostly, he was left to support himself. While many children might, understandably, lie flat under such unsupervised circumstances, Walton excelled academically and athletically at high school. He became the first person in his family to graduate from high school, and enrolled in college. Walton seized the chance to enroll in Year Up, a program aiming to close the “opportunity divide” by providing young adults with the skills, experience, and support that will empower them to reach their potential through professional careers and higher education. Walton remains an active ambassador for the organization. In June of 2007,armed with shining recommendations, Walton was hired as a temp (临时工) at MIT.He eventually worked his way up to where he is today—an invaluable asset (不可或缺的人) to three departments.“I do feel lucky to work at MIT,” he says.“I’ve had the ability to tour the country sharing my story in hopes that some people may be inspired and employers may see young adults with tough backgrounds differently.” In addition to Year Up, he is involved with a number of organizations committed to helping young adults overcome their troubled pasts. This desire to have a positive impact on people’s lives extends seamlessly into his work at MIT. “Giving back is very important to me,” Walton says. “So many people have invested their time and energy into helping me, so I feel it would be an injustice not to do so.” 4. Staff members in MIT sing high praise for Walton mainly because________. A. he enjoys interacting with his clients B. he knows how to put out fires for others C. he solves problems with a positive attitude D. he is good at developing computer programs 5. What do we know about Walton before he went to college? A. He depended on his great-grandma for a living. B. He stood out in study and sports in high school. C. He lay flat just like other unsupervised children. D. He was supported by foster care for better education. 6. Why did Walton get involved with a lot of organizations? A. To share his troubled past with young adults. B. To pay back to society by helping young adults. C. To advise businesses to treat young adults fairly. D. To promote education equality among young adults. 7. What can we conclude from Walton’s story? A. One good turn deserves another. B. Opportunities favor the prepared mind. C. Education is a powerful weapon to change the world. D. One’s future is defined by his efforts not by his origin. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述沃尔顿，虽然小时候是在寄养家庭长大，但是一直非常努力和出色，后来成为麻省理工的临时工作人员，致力于帮助年轻人解决麻烦问题来回馈社会。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But if you ask anyone in the MIT departments of Chemistry and Physics, or the News Office—the Institute divisions that are fortunate enough to have Greg Walton as their IT service provider, they’ll acknowledge that not only is Walton the best, but whatever the issue is, he will see it through until all involved are satisfied with the outcome. (但如果你问麻省理工学院化学系和物理系的任何人，或者新闻办公室——学院的部门，他们很幸运地拥有格雷格·沃尔顿作为他们的IT服务提供商，他们会承认沃尔顿不仅是最好的，而且无论问题是什么，他都会坚持到底，直到所有参与者都对结果感到满意。)”可知麻省理工学院的工作人员对沃尔顿的高度赞扬主要是因为他以积极的态度解决问题，故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While many children might, understandably, lie flat under such unsupervised circumstances, Walton excelled academically and athletically at high school. (可以理解的是，许多孩子在这种无人监督的环境下可能会躺平，而沃尔顿在高中时在学业和运动方面都很出色。)”可知沃尔顿在高中学习和体育方面都很出色。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In addition to Year Up, he is involved with a number of organizations committed to helping young adults overcome their troubled pasts. This desire to have a positive impact on people’s lives extends seamlessly into his work at MIT. “Giving back is very important to me,” Walton says. “So many people have invested their time and energy into helping me, so I feel it would be an injustice not to do so.”(除了Year Up，他还参与了一些致力于帮助年轻人克服他们麻烦的过去的组织。这种对人们生活产生积极影响的愿望无缝地延伸到他在麻省理工学院的工作中。“回馈对我来说非常重要，”沃尔顿说。“这么多人投入了时间和精力来帮助我，所以我觉得不这样做是不公平的。”)”可知沃尔顿参与了这么多组织是通过帮助年轻人来回报社会。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其第一段“When the need for information technology service arises, it can be a stressful moment—the user is locked out of their computer, or a program isn’t working properly. But if you ask anyone in the MIT departments of Chemistry and Physics, or the News Office—the Institute divisions that are fortunate enough to have Greg Walton as their IT service provider, they’ll acknowledge that not only is Walton the best, but whatever the issue is, he will see it through until all involved are satisfied with the outcome. Walton usually arrives on the scene with endless positive energy that transforms a technical annoyance into an enjoyable interaction, regardless of how many other IT fires he has already put out that day. (当对信息技术服务的需求出现时，它可能是一个紧张的时刻——用户被锁在他们的计算机之外，或者一个程序不能正常工作。但如果你问麻省理工学院化学系和物理系的任何人，或者新闻办公室——学院的部门，他们很幸运地拥有格雷格·沃尔顿作为他们的IT服务提供商，他们会承认沃尔顿不仅是最好的，而且无论问题是什么，他都会坚持到底，直到所有参与者都对结果感到满意。沃尔顿通常带着无尽的正能量来到现场，将技术上的烦恼转化为愉快的互动，不管那天他已经解决了多少其他的IT问题。)”可知文章主要讲述沃尔顿，虽然小时候是在寄养家庭长大，但是一直非常努力和出色，后来成为麻省理工的临时工作人员，致力于帮助年轻人解决麻烦问题来回馈社会。故选D。 C Part of the reason American shoppers are so attracted to wholesale shopping is their belief that it not only prevents waste but can save time and money, providing more value for the dollar. However, recent research suggests that the opposite may be true. Victoria Ligon, an expert on consumer sciences, studied food purchasing habits of consumers and found that people tended to buy too much food and waste more of it than they realized. “The problem is that people are not shopping frequently enough,” Ligon said, “People are very price sensitive at the grocery store, but tend to fail to notice the cost of unused and wasted food at home.” A common practice is to visit different stores for different items on a grocery list, “But people tend to overbuy at each of the places,” Ligon said. “People are not planning for the next day, but planning for the next week or two.” “In theory, planning a week or more in advance sounds ideal. But given the reality of many people’s lives, this is challenging to do well,” Ligon said. “All of our food promotions are designed to get people to buy more. We believe it’s cheaper if we buy more now, but we rarely take into account how much we throw out in the end.” Ligon noted shifts in the grocery industry that appear promising to help customers reduce food waste. Examples include cost-effective delivery services such as Amazon Fresh and Google Express, which allow consumers to purchase food items when they want to consume them, also reducing their need to frequent so many different stores. However, the study resulted in another troubling finding: The majority of people involved in the study had no idea that they were buying too much and wasting so much. “When you read advice about reducing waste, it usually centers on what people do after the food is purchased,” Ligon said. “But more importantly, shop on a more frequent basis, so that you are only buying what you are going to consume in the short term.” 8. What do people often ignore when buying food in large quantities? A. How good the food is. B. How much will be wasted. C. How much the food costs. D. How often they should shop. 9. What is the author’s attitude towards meal planning for the next two weeks? A. It is worth trying. B. It is not practical. C. It takes great effort. D. It is not good for health. 10. What is the advantage of Amazon Fresh and Google Express? A. Food prices are lowered. B. Food waste is prevented. C. Food consumption is reduced. D. Food purchasing can be done at home. 11. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Shop More, Buy Less B. Shop Wisely, Eat Wisely C. Consume More, Waste Less D. The More You Shop, the More You Waste 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现人们往往会一次性购买过多的食品，浪费的食物比他们意识到的要多，为了减少食物浪费，人们应该提高购物频率，这样就会只买短期内要消费的东西。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Victoria Ligon, an expert on consumer sciences, studied food purchasing habits of consumers and found that people tended to buy too much food and waste more of it than they realized.(消费者科学专家维多利亚·利根研究了消费者的食品购买习惯，发现人们往往会购买过多的食品，浪费的食物比他们意识到的要多。)”可知，人们在大量购买食物时经常忽略多少会被浪费。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句““In theory, planning a week or more in advance sounds ideal. But given the reality of many people’s lives, this is challenging to do well,” Ligon said.(“从理论上讲，提前一周或更长时间计划听起来很理想。但考虑到许多人的现实生活，做好这一点是具有挑战性的。”利冈说。)”可知，作者认为提前做未来两周的膳食计划并不实际。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“Examples include cost-effective delivery services such as Amazon Fresh and Google Express, which allow consumers to purchase food items when they want to consume them, also reducing their need to frequent so many different stores.(例如，亚马逊生鲜和谷歌快递等具有成本效益的配送服务允许消费者在他们想要消费的时候购买食品，也减少了他们频繁光顾许多不同商店的需要。)”和第一句“Ligon noted shifts in the grocery industry that appear promising to help customers reduce food waste.(利冈指出，食品杂货行业的转变似乎有望帮助消费者减少食物浪费。)”可知，亚马逊生鲜和谷歌快递的优势是食品购买可以在家里完成。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Victoria Ligon, an expert on consumer sciences, studied food purchasing habits of consumers and found that people tended to buy too much food and waste more of it than they realized. “The problem is that people are not shopping frequently enough,” Ligon said, “People are very price sensitive at the grocery store, but tend to fail to notice the cost of unused and wasted food at home.”(消费者科学专家维多利亚·利根研究了消费者的食品购买习惯，发现人们往往会购买过多的食品，浪费的食物比他们意识到的要多。“问题在于人们购物的频率不够高，”利冈说，“人们在杂货店对价格非常敏感，但往往不会注意到家里未使用和浪费食物的成本。”)”和最后一段““When you read advice about reducing waste, it usually centers on what people do after the food is purchased,” Ligon said. “But more importantly, shop on a more frequent basis, so that you are only buying what you are going to consume in the short term.”(利根说：“当你读到关于减少浪费的建议时，它通常集中在人们购买食物后的行为上。但更重要的是，更频繁地购物，这样你就只买你短期内要消费的东西。”)”可知，文章主要是讲为了减少食物浪费，人们应该提高购物频率。所以，A项“Shop More, Buy Less”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选A。 D A new study shows that female academics are significantly underrepresented in winning academic prizes and having awards named after them. Analysis of nearly 9,000 awardees and 346 scientific prizes and medals published in Nature Human Behaviour has found that men win eight prizes for every one won by a woman if the award is named after a man. These awards represent almost two-thirds of all scientific prizes. Female academics are, however, more likely to win awards that have been named after other notable female scientists, with 47% of those awards going to women and 53% to men. Dr Katja Gehmlich, Associate Professor in the Institute of Cardiovascular Science at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study, said, “The gender gap between awardees in scientific prizes is sadly a product of a long, systematic issue of poor representation of women in sciences. Despite decades of efforts to rebalance this issue, our study shows that women are still poorly recognized for their scientific contributions, and men are far more likely to win prizes and awards, in particular, if those awards are named after other men. “It seems particularly shocking to me that awards named after women still see more than half of prizes going to men. We further propose a list of actions to address and overcome these issues but are aware this will be a long process. The Nominate Her movement is one way that the scientific community can begin to address this,” said Dr Gehmlich. Prof Stefan Krause from the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study said, “Our data is indicative of much wider issues of gender inequality within sciences. Our current publication is an initial attempt to understand the causes of such striking gender inequality and to promote discussion on the subject within our scientific communities.” “Research culture has a lot to do to improve the gender prize gap, as well as efforts to address the inequality that sees almost two-thirds of prizes currently named after men. More pathways may also be needed, such as renaming or getting rid of gender names associated with some awards,” added Prof Krause. 12. How are awards named after female scientists distributed between genders? A. Males are in the majority. B. Females take up a bit more than half. C. They are almost entirely awarded to females. D. They are evenly distributed between males and females. 13. What’s Dr Gehmlich’s attitude toward gender inequality in scientific prizes? A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C. Uncaring. D. Disappointed. 14. What suggestion does Prof Krause offer to narrow the gender gap? A. Establishing gender rates for awards. B. Increasing the number of female judges. C. Encouraging more women to enter scientific fields. D. Renaming or removing gender names from awards. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Achievements of women in science B. The role of men in the scientific world C Gender inequality in scientific awards D. Future of gender equality in academia 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一项新的研究表明，在获得学术奖项和以她们的名字命名的奖项方面，女性学者的比例明显不足。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Female academics are, however, more likely to win awards that have been named after other notable female scientists, with 47% of those awards going to women and 53% to men.(然而，女性学者更有可能获得以其他著名女科学家命名的奖项，其中47%的奖项授予了女性，53%的奖项授予了男性。)”可知，以女性科学家命名的奖项男性获得者占多数。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Dr Katja Gehmlich, Associate Professor in the Institute of Cardiovascular Science at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study, said, “The gender gap between awardees in scientific prizes is sadly a product of a long, systematic issue of poor representation of women in sciences. Despite decades of efforts to rebalance this issue, our study shows that women are still poorly recognized for their scientific contributions, and men are far more likely to win prizes and awards, in particular, if those awards are named after other men.( 伯明翰大学心血管科学研究所副教授、该研究的联合主要作者Katja Gehmlich博士说:“令人遗憾的是，科学奖项获奖者之间的性别差距是女性在科学领域代表性不足这一长期系统性问题的产物。尽管几十年来一直在努力重新平衡这一问题，但我们的研究表明，女性在科学上的贡献仍然得不到认可，而男性获奖的可能性要大得多，特别是如果这些奖项是以其他男性的名字命名的。)”可知，学术奖项中的性别不平等是一个长期存在的系统性问题，由此可推知，她对该现象感到失望。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““Research culture has a lot to do to improve the gender prize gap, as well as efforts to address the inequality that sees almost two-thirds of prizes currently named after men. More pathways may also be needed, such as renaming or getting rid of gender names associated with some awards,” added Prof Krause.(“研究文化在改善性别奖项差距方面还有很多工作要做，同时也要努力解决目前近三分之二的奖项以男性命名的不平等问题。可能还需要更多的途径，比如重命名或取消与某些奖项相关的性别名称，”克劳斯教授补充道。)”可知，克劳斯教授对缩小性别差距提出的建议是从奖项中重命名或删除性别名称。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A new study shows that female academics are significantly underrepresented in winning academic prizes and having awards named after them.(一项新的研究表明，在获得学术奖项和以她们的名字命名的奖项方面，女性学者的比例明显不足。)”可知，文章主要讲述了科学奖项中的性别不平等。故选C。 第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 When attending holiday parties, we are eager to help our hosts in the kitchen, with food and drink service, and with post-party cleanup, which sometimes causes more trouble and stress for a host. ____16____ Here’s what professional event planners recommend.

New Orleans, Louisiana, was unlike any place I had ever been to. In the French Quarter, tourists walked around all year with long skinny cups in their hands, and there was a popular game going on the streets which were crowded with cars but had few people. What surprised me more than anything, though, was the constant friendliness and compassion of the people of New Orleans. “What can I get for you, sugar?” a waitress about my age asked me on my first day in New Orleans. I was taken aback. The waitress did not even know me, but she treated me like family. She smiled down at me as I pointed to an item on the menu. “Is the pasta good?” I asked her. “It’s not my favorite,” she admitted with a smile. “But I’m more of a girl who prefers rice!” She shrugged, letting out a loud laughter. I looked at her in shock. What was I supposed to say to that? I couldn’t believe that the waitress had just prevented me from ordering something. Actually, she had given me her honest opinion, as if we were best friends. She even told me her name—Mary. She even told me that she just worked as a part-time waitress and that she would be a high school student soon. After a few days in New Orleans, I got used to kind reminders and polite greetings. I also realized how comforting it was to be treated like I belong wherever I went. As soon as I settled into my new high school, I adapted myself to the school life. I was drawn to the lively music scene that New Orleans was famous for. I was a trumpet (小号) player, and I wanted to join the school music club. However, I was afraid that I was too poor in music to be qualified for the school music club. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One afternoon, I was surprised to see a group of students including Mary practicing jazz in the school playground. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, with Mary’s encouragement, my hesitation slowly melted away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One afternoon, I was surprised to see a group of students including Mary practicing jazz in the school playground. The vibrant notes of trumpets, saxophones, and drums intermingled under the warm sun, creating a harmonious symphony that echoed throughout the campus. Mary, her fingers dancing across the valves of her trumpet, noticed me watching from afar and beckoned me over with an inviting smile. “You play, don't you? Come join us!” she shouted above the music, her eyes sparkling with genuine enthusiasm. My heart raced; this was the chance I had secretly hoped for, yet my insecurities held me back. Finally, with Mary’s encouragement, my hesitation slowly melted away. I gathered my courage and approached the ensemble, trumpet in hand. The group warmly welcomed me, their acceptance dispelling my fears. Under Mary’s patient guidance, I began to find my rhythm within the ensemble. Our practices became a haven where mistakes transformed into learning opportunities, and every note played strengthened my confidence. Through this experience, I learned that sometimes, it takes a little push from a friend to realize one’s potential and truly belong. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索，主要讲述了一个中学生在升入中学前的暑假期间，初次搬到美国南部新奥尔良的生活经历。新奥尔良独特的人文风情和居民们的友好态度给主人公留下了深刻印象，尤其是侍应生玛丽的亲切交流，让主人公感受到如同家一般的温暖。随着时间推移，主人公不仅适应了新奥尔良的生活方式，还在新的高中里被当地蓬勃的音乐氛围所吸引。作为一名小号手，虽然担心自己的音乐水平不足以加入学校的音乐俱乐部，但主人公依然被这座城市独有的魅力和人们之间的善意所鼓舞，在玛丽的鼓励下和帮助下，她决定勇敢地追寻着自己的音乐梦想和归属感。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由一段的首句“一天下午，我惊讶地看到包括玛丽在内的一群学生在学校操场上练习爵士乐。”可知，本段可描写玛丽邀请作者一起加入乐队，但是作者没有自信，对此犹豫不决。 ②由第二段首句“最后，在玛丽的鼓励下，我的犹豫慢慢消失了。”可知，本段可描写作者在玛丽的鼓励下，加入了乐队，通过不断地练习，作者取得了进步，增强了自信心。 2.续写线索：邀请加入——没有信心，犹豫不决——鼓励——加入乐队——不断练习——自信心增强——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/observe ②大喊：shout//exclaim ③闪烁：sparkle/shine/glitter 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished/amazed ②充满活力的：vibrant/energetic 【点睛】【高分句型1】The vibrant notes of trumpets, saxophones, and drums intermingled under the warm sun, creating a harmonious symphony that echoed throughout the campus. （运用了that引导的限定性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Our practices became a haven where mistakes transformed into learning opportunities, and every note played strengthened my confidence. （运用了where引导的限定性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 鹤壁市高中2023—2024学年高二(下)第四次质量检测 英语 考生注意： 1.答题前，考生务必用黑色签字笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、座位号在答题卡上填写清楚; 2.每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，在试卷上作答无效; 3.考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Learn to Turn Your Favorite Photo into a Digital Illustration That’s right.

B When the need for information technology service arises, it can be a stressful moment—the user is locked out of their computer, or a program isn’t working properly. But if you ask anyone in the MIT departments of Chemistry and Physics, or the News Office—the Institute divisions that are fortunate enough to have Greg Walton as their IT service provider, they’ll acknowledge that not only is Walton the best, but whatever the issue is, he will see it through until all involved are satisfied with the outcome. Walton usually arrives on the scene with endless positive energy that transforms a technical annoyance into an enjoyable interaction, regardless of how many other IT fires he has already put out that day. The qualities that make him a star employee extend far beyond the campus. After spending his early years in foster care, Walton lived with his great-grandmother, but mostly, he was left to support himself. While many children might, understandably, lie flat under such unsupervised circumstances, Walton excelled academically and athletically at high school. He became the first person in his family to graduate from high school, and enrolled in college. Walton seized the chance to enroll in Year Up, a program aiming to close the “opportunity divide” by providing young adults with the skills, experience, and support that will empower them to reach their potential through professional careers and higher education. Walton remains an active ambassador for the organization. In June of 2007,armed with shining recommendations, Walton was hired as a temp (临时工) at MIT.He eventually worked his way up to where he is today—an invaluable asset (不可或缺的人) to three departments.“I do feel lucky to work at MIT,” he says.“I’ve had the ability to tour the country sharing my story in hopes that some people may be inspired and employers may see young adults with tough backgrounds differently.” In addition to Year Up, he is involved with a number of organizations committed to helping young adults overcome their troubled pasts. This desire to have a positive impact on people’s lives extends seamlessly into his work at MIT. “Giving back is very important to me,” Walton says. “So many people have invested their time and energy into helping me, so I feel it would be an injustice not to do so.” 4. Staff members in MIT sing high praise for Walton mainly because________. A. he enjoys interacting with his clients B. he knows how to put out fires for others C. he solves problems with a positive attitude D he is good at developing computer programs 5. What do we know about Walton before he went to college? A. He depended on his great-grandma for a living. B. He stood out in study and sports in high school. C. He lay flat just like other unsupervised children. D. He was supported by foster care for better education. 6. Why did Walton get involved with a lot of organizations? A. To share his troubled past with young adults. B. To pay back to society by helping young adults. C. To advise businesses to treat young adults fairly. D. To promote education equality among young adults. 7. What can we conclude from Walton’s story? A. One good turn deserves another. B. Opportunities favor the prepared mind. C. Education is a powerful weapon to change the world. D. One’s future is defined by his efforts, not by his origin. C Part of the reason American shoppers are so attracted to wholesale shopping is their belief that it not only prevents waste but can save time and money, providing more value for the dollar. However, recent research suggests that the opposite may be true. Victoria Ligon, an expert on consumer sciences, studied food purchasing habits of consumers and found that people tended to buy too much food and waste more of it than they realized. “The problem is that people are not shopping frequently enough,” Ligon said, “People are very price sensitive at the grocery store, but tend to fail to notice the cost of unused and wasted food at home.” A common practice is to visit different stores for different items on a grocery list “But people tend to overbuy at each of the places,” Ligon said. “People are not planning for the next day, but planning for the next week or two.” “In theory, planning a week or more in advance sounds ideal. But given the reality of many people’s lives, this is challenging to do well,” Ligon said. “All of our food promotions are designed to get people to buy more. We believe it’s cheaper if we buy more now, but we rarely take into account how much we throw out in the end.” Ligon noted shifts in the grocery industry that appear promising to help customers reduce food waste. Examples include cost-effective delivery services such as Amazon Fresh and Google Express, which allow consumers to purchase food items when they want to consume them, also reducing their need to frequent so many different stores. However, the study resulted in another troubling finding: The majority of people involved in the study had no idea that they were buying too much and wasting so much. “When you read advice about reducing waste, it usually centers on what people do after the food is purchased,” Ligon said. “But more importantly, shop on a more frequent basis, so that you are only buying what you are going to consume in the short term.” 8. What do people often ignore when buying food in large quantities? A. How good the food is. B. How much will be wasted. C. How much the food costs. D. How often they should shop. 9. What is the author’s attitude towards meal planning for the next two weeks? A. It is worth trying. B. It is not practical. C. It takes great effort. D. It is not good for health. 10 What is the advantage of Amazon Fresh and Google Express? A. Food prices are lowered. B. Food waste is prevented. C. Food consumption is reduced. D. Food purchasing can be done at home. 11. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Shop More, Buy Less B. Shop Wisely, Eat Wisely C. Consume More, Waste Less D. The More You Shop, the More You Waste D A new study shows that female academics are significantly underrepresented in winning academic prizes and having awards named after them. Analysis of nearly 9,000 awardees and 346 scientific prizes and medals published in Nature Human Behaviour has found that men win eight prizes for every one won by a woman if the award is named after a man. These awards represent almost two-thirds of all scientific prizes. Female academics are, however, more likely to win awards that have been named after other notable female scientists, with 47% of those awards going to women and 53% to men. Dr Katja Gehmlich, Associate Professor in the Institute of Cardiovascular Science at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study, said, “The gender gap between awardees in scientific prizes is sadly a product of a long, systematic issue of poor representation of women in sciences. Despite decades of efforts to rebalance this issue, our study shows that women are still poorly recognized for their scientific contributions, and men are far more likely to win prizes and awards, in particular, if those awards are named after other men. “It seems particularly shocking to me that awards named after women still see more than half of prizes going to men. We further propose a list of actions to address and overcome these issues but are aware this will be a long process. The Nominate Her movement is one way that the scientific community can begin to address this,” said Dr Gehmlich. Prof Stefan Krause from the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study said, “Our data is indicative of much wider issues of gender inequality within sciences. Our current publication is an initial attempt to understand the causes of such striking gender inequality and to promote discussion on the subject within our scientific communities.” “Research culture has a lot to do to improve the gender prize gap, as well as efforts to address the inequality that sees almost two-thirds of prizes currently named after men. More pathways may also be needed, such as renaming or getting rid of gender names associated with some awards,” added Prof Krause. 12. How are awards named after female scientists distributed between genders? A. Males are in the majority. B. Females take up a bit more than half. C. They are almost entirely awarded to females. D. They are evenly distributed between males and females. 13. What’s Dr Gehmlich’s attitude toward gender inequality in scientific prizes? A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C. Uncaring. D. Disappointed. 14. What suggestion does Prof Krause offer to narrow the gender gap? A. Establishing gender rates for awards. B. Increasing the number of female judges. C. Encouraging more women to enter scientific fields. D. Renaming or removing gender names from awards. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Achievements of women in science B. The role of men in the scientific world C. Gender inequality in scientific awards D. Future of gender equality in academia 第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 When attending holiday parties, we are eager to help our hosts in the kitchen, with food and drink service, and with post-party cleanup, which sometimes causes more trouble and stress for a host. ____16____ Here’s what professional event planners recommend.

New Orleans, Louisiana, was unlike any place I had ever been to. In the French Quarter, tourists walked around all year with long skinny cups in their hands, and there was a popular game going on the streets which were crowded with cars but had few people. What surprised me more than anything, though, was the constant friendliness and compassion of the people of New Orleans. “What can I get for you, sugar?” a waitress about my age asked me on my first day in New Orleans. I was taken aback. The waitress did not even know me, but she treated me like family. She smiled down at me as I pointed to an item on the menu. “Is the pasta good?” I asked her. “It’s not my favorite,” she admitted with a smile. “But I’m more of a girl who prefers rice!” She shrugged, letting out a loud laughter. I looked at her in shock. What was I supposed to say to that? I couldn’t believe that the waitress had just prevented me from ordering something. Actually, she had given me her honest opinion, as if we were best friends. She even told me her name—Mary. She even told me that she just worked as a part-time waitress and that she would be a high school student soon. After a few days in New Orleans, I got used to kind reminders and polite greetings. I also realized how comforting it was to be treated like I belong wherever I went. As soon as I settled into my new high school, I adapted myself to the school life. I was drawn to the lively music scene that New Orleans was famous for. I was a trumpet (小号) player, and I wanted to join the school music club. However, I was afraid that I was too poor in music to be qualified for the school music club. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One afternoon, I was surprised to see a group of students including Mary practicing jazz in the school playground. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, with Mary’s encouragement, my hesitation slowly melted away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
