Most are near-silent incidents (2) the victim quickly sinks out of view.On this particular day maybe the lifeguards weren't paying as close attention as they (3) have been.Certainly they believed the tall athletic LeRoy was not a high-risk swimmer. But on this evening LeRoy was practicing apnea (swimming-testing (4) he could swim underwater on one brcath-and at some point, (5) making any visible or audible disturbance on the water's surface.he lost consciousness.The guards failed to notice as he stopped swimming and sank to the bottom of the deep end of the pool.With his arms (6) (cross)over his head and his feet twitching. he was unconscious and(7)(drown).It would take him as little as four minutes to die. Although the human lifeguards watching the pool were unaware,12 large machine eyes deep underwater(⑧) (watch)the whole thing and taking notice.Just nine months earlier the center had installed a state-of-the-art electronic surveillance system called Poseidon. a network of cameras that(9) (feed)a computer programmed to use a set of complex mathematical procedure to distinguish between normal and distressed swimming.Poseidon covers a pool's entire swimming area and can distinguish among dim reflections.shadows,and actual swimmers.It can also tell when real swimmers are moving in a way they're not supposed to.(10) the computer detects a possible problem.it instantly activates a beeper to warn lifeguards and displays the exact incident location on a monitor.The rest is up to the humans above the water. Sixteen seconds after Poseidon noticed the large,sinking lump that was Jean-Francois LeRoy,lifeguards had LeRoy out of the pool and gave him first aid.He started breathing again. After one night in the local hospital,he was released with no permanent damage.Poseidon had saved his life. 2024-2025第一学期高三英语阶段测试3试粒 第1页共12页 Section B(10') Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.

Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining ( customers.It sounds simple and achievable.But,21,words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often 22 the second half of the story.In the excitement of beating off the competition,negotiating prices,securing orders,and delivering the product,managers tend to become carried away.They forget what they regard as the boring side of business-23 that the customer remains a customer. 24 to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually.It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent ofits customers every years.In constantly changing25,this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost. Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the 26 implications.Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big 27in its performance.Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting customers led to 28 increases of between 25 and 85 per cent. In the US,Domino's Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years.A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and 29 never retumns,is losing the company thousands of dollars in 30profits(more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience). The logic behind cultivating customer 31 is impossible to deny."In practice most companies'marketing effort is focused on getting customers,with little attention paid to 32 them",says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University'School of Management."Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.33 customers tend to buy more,are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore,they tend to be less price 34,and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it35for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market. 21.A.in particular B.in reality C.at least D.first of all 22.A.emphasize B.doubt C.overlook D.believe 23.A.denying B.ensuring C.arguing D.proving 24.A.Moving B.Hoping C.Starting D.Failing 25.A.markets B.tastes C.prices D.expenses 26.A.culture B.social C.financial D.economical 27.A.promise B.plan C.mistake D.difference 28.A.cost B.opportunity C.profit D.budget 29.A.as a result B.on the whole C.in conclusion D.on the contrary 30.A.huge B.potential C.extra D.reasonable 31.A.beliefs B.loyalty C.habits D.interest 32.A.altering B.understanding C.keeping D.attracting 33.A.Assumed B.Respected C.Established D.Unexpected 34.A.agreeable B.flexible C.friendly D.sensitive 35.A.unfair B.difficult C.essential D.convenient 2024-2025第一学期高三英语阶段测试3试卷 第3页 共12页 Section B(11') Direction:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B.C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA)have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress.This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders. Until now,psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same "fight-or-flight"reaction to stress.In other words,individuals either react with aggressive behavior,such as verbal or physical conflict("fight"),or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation("flight").However,the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress.While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response,women often have another kind of reaction which could be called "tend and befriend."That is,they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young (tend"),and by looking for social contact and support from others-especially other females ("befriend"). Scientists have long known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress,an important role is played by certain hormones released by the body.The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone.This hormone,called oxytocin,has been studied in the context of childbirth,but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress.The principal investigator,Dr.Shelley E.Taylor,explained that"animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer,more relaxed,more social,and less anxious."While men also secrete (oxytocin,its effects are reduced by male hormones. In terms of everyday behavior,the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed.They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost. The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work.The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet.For a typical mother,coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs. The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior.The tend-and-befriend regulatory system may protect women against stress,and this may explain why women on average live longer than men. 36.The UCLA study shows that in response to stress,men are more likely than women to A.turn to friends for help B.solve a conflict calmly C.find an escape from reality D.seek comfort from children 37.Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage? A.Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do. B.Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women. C.Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin. D.Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men. 2024-2025第一学期高三英语阶段测试3试卷 第4页 共12页 38.What can be learned from the passage? A.Male hormones help build up the body's resistance to stress.

(C) Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens research into the history of humans in Britain,a group of leading archaeologists says. In a letter addressed to the justice secretary,Ken Clarke,40 archaeologists write of their "deep and widespread concern"about the issue.It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years,regardless of their age.The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance. "Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied,whether after a standard period of two years or a further special extension,is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice,"they write. The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites,including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3,000 BC. Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time,but eventually 2024-2025第一学期高三英语阶段测试3试卷第6页共12页 the bones will have to be returned to the ground. The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk,where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago.If human remains were found at Happisburgh,they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was.Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed. Before 2008,guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest,while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains.The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary,but has so far failed to revise it. Mike Parker Pearson,an archaeologist at Sheffield University,said:"Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer." The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied,or on what records should be kept. 43.According to the passage,scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because A.it is only a temporary measure on the human remains B.it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific research C.it was introduced by the goverment without their knowledge D.it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains 44.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A.Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time. B.Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh. C.Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time. D.Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed. 45.What can be inferred about the British law govering human remains? A.The Ministry of Justice did not intend it to protect human remains. B.The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857. C.The law on human remains hasn't changed in recent decades. D.The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law. 46.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A.New discoveries should be reburied,the goverment demands B.Research time should be extended,scientists require. C.Law on human remains needs thorough discussion,authorities say. D.Law could bury ancient secrets for ever,archaeologists war. 2024-2025第一学期高三英语阶段测试3试卷 第7页共12页 Section C(4') Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A.AGCCI's coding camp was a turning point for Chantal,too. B.The camp inspired me in the world of technology and made me develop an interest in it. C.The absence of workable women role models further drives their under-representation. D.Though the details vary,versions of Chantal's story are shared by girls across Africa and around the world. E.Everything changed for Sizolwethu when she attended a coding camp run by the African Girls Can Code Initiative(AGCCD. F:But when she was selected to attend one of the country's top high schools,Chantal took to computer science right away. AGCCI Builds Digital Skills and Momentum (Towards a Better Future In the rural Rwandan village where Chantal grew up,access to digital technology was basically non-existent.(47) After doing well in her exams,she told her mother she wanted to pursue a career in programming.Her mother's response,she says,did not surprise her:"She laughed and said 'Do you know where you are from?That's for students from the cities,rich families or boys',Chantal recalls. (48) _A lack of exposure to tech coupled with strong gendered norms continue to keep girls out of the field from an early age.Even for girls who do have exposure to tech,their interest is often dampened by a lack of gender-responsive and interdisciplinary curricula.This was the experience of Sizolwethu,whose high school offered classes on information and communication technologies:"I was fortunate,"she says,"but I was never that much in love with it."The course had failed to connect technology to the real-world challenges she saw facing her community and country,a key driver of many girls'career choices research shows. (49) There,she says,her passion for tech grew as the camp "opened my eyes to the game changing innovations that can impact Africa.I learned that with little or no resources,I can make a huge difference if passion and determination are there."Launched in 2018 by UN Women and the African Union Commission(AUC),AGCCI is working to empower girls across Africa by helping them build digital literacy and computer skills and placing them on the path to tech careers.(50) She credits the initiative with pushing her to pursue Information Technology at the university level-despite the pressure she was receiving against it.Now she is using the skills she leamned to develop applications that help her community,such as a bus booking system and more. AGCCI works both to train and empower girls and to increase their inclusion in the tech sector more generally.Awa Ndiaye-Seck,UN Women Special Representative to the African Union and UNECA says,"We aim to address not only the policy-level bottlenecks related to access to technology and finances but also the gender-based harmful norms and practices that prevent women and girls from pursuing STEM fields." 2024-2025第一学期高三英语阶段测试3试卷 第8页 共12页 Pat2(作业检测-共50分) 1.中译英：(3+3+4+5=15) Directions:Trunslate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the bruckets. 1.尽管天气不好，各行各业的支持者白发在站台上.为他送行。(regardless) 2.他的行程太紧凑，所以他的重中之重是劳逸结合。(such...that) 3.争论他的走红是否是县花一现蕃尤意义，因为他总是不遗余力地将经得起时间考验的 作品呈现给现众。(poin) 4.这位收薇家之所以把价值法估量的藏品拥赠给上海博物馆是因为他对这座以包容性 和多样性菁称的城市有着深刻的感情。(Ter心ason) 1h. 名词默写（请直接写在答题纸相应区域城，注意序号）(10)（错一个，扣0.5，扣光 为止) 1.
