Based on our web research, here are our top four picks with the introduction of physics in simple, practical language. Mechanics, Relativity, and Thermodynamics This book is a collection of online teachings by Professor R. Shankar. Shankar is one of the first to be involved in the innovative Open Yale Courses program. It is a perfect introduction to college-level physics. Students of chemistry, engineering, and AP Physics will find this book helpful. Physics for Students of Science and Engineering This book helps students to read scientific data, answer scientific questions, and identify fundamental concepts. The new and improved 10th edition features multi-media resources, and questions to test students’ understanding of each concept. The Feynman Lectures on Physics Richard Feynman is regarded as one of the greatest teachers of physics to walk the face of the earth. This book is a collection of Feynman’s lectures. In his words, these lectures all began as an experiment, which, in turn, formed the basis of this book. University Physics with Modern Physics The book is recognized for teaching and applying principles of physics through a narrative (叙事的) method. To ensure a better understanding and ability to apply these concepts, worked examples are provided, giving students tools to develop problem-solving skills and conceptual understanding. 21. What do the first two books have in common? A. They are improved editions. B. They are written by professors. C. They favor students of engineering. D. They feature multi-media resources. 22. Which book best suits students who enjoy learning physics through practical examples? A. Mechanics, Relativity, and Thermodynamics. B. Physics for Students of Science and Engineering. C. The Feynman Lectures on Physics. D. University Physics with Modern Physics. 23. Where is this text probably taken from? A. An online article. B. A research paper. C. A physics textbook. D. A science journal. B That youngsters were glued to online games on their smart phones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena, a school teacher in Nirjuli. The 30-year-old social science teacher, who ran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre, said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers. “The graph of student performance is falling every year. It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets—basic grammar skills are missing and there’s an absence of any cohesive (连贯的) expression. They lack guidance and their reading culture is almost zero,” Meena said. When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to infectious diseases, she planned to do something to address the problem. Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on 30 August 2020, where passers-by could spend time reading. The selections included motivational books, biographies and novels as well as comics for young children. “I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read, but that is okay,” she laughed. Meena’s bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner. Within two months, her effort became the talk of the town. Now, generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itanagar. Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town, she also lends books out to those who want to read at home. “I never thought that this would become such a big inspiration,” Meena said. “Since childhood, we have been told that books are our best friends. The next generation of kids is focused on games and other things. I don’t want them to head on the wrong track,” she added. 24．What’s the aim of Meena’s reading program? A．To care for youngsters lacking in reading. B．To help adults learn some cohesive expression. C．To keep Ngurang Learning Institute running well. D．To highlight the importance of reading for adults. 25．What did Meena do to encourage young kids to read more? A．She offered some rewards to them. B．She provided them with transportation. C．She chose novels with beautiful covers. D．She selected books covering every category. 26．Which words can best describe Meena’s libraries? A．Small and useless. B．Influential and meaningful. C．Large but impractical. D．Widespread but unwelcome. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．Books: Sources of Knowledge B．The Roadside Reading Corner C．The Library: an Ideal place for the Young D．New Ideas about Setting a Reading Plan C Is diet soda safe? If you’re concerned about sugar, diet products seem a better option, sweet and not so bad for you. Wrong! Drinking diet soda regularly can increase your risk of diseases. Despite the fact that we call these drinks “diet”, the artificial sweeteners they contain are linked to weight gain, not loss. There’s the latest evidence that they increase the risk of depression, which comes from a new analysis by researchers at Harvard Medical School. The team drew upon a data set of nearly 32,000 female nurses, ages 42 to 62 when the study began. It turned out that the nurses who consumed the most diet drinks had a 37 percent higher chance of depression, compared to those who drank the least or none. Diet soda also increases your risk of stroke (中风), according to a separate meta-analysis that included 72 studies. Looking for the causes behind the stroke, researchers took various blood measurements when 12 healthy volunteers in their 20s drank water, soda, or diet soda. The result showed that both sodas slowed the flow of blood within the brain. Though the effect didn’t seem sufficient to cause stroke, slower blood flow could have accumulating effects. Other researchers have found that diet soda increases the risk of dementia (痴呆), from data from nearly 178,000 volunteers tracked over an average of nine years. That’s not a big surprise. An earlier study of about 4,300 volunteers concluded that drinking diet soda every day was tied to three times the risk of dementia over the following decade. The researchers looked at brain scans and the results of mental function assessments. A daily diet soda was linked to smaller brains and aggravates long-term memory, two risk factors for dementia. Avoiding depression, stroke, and dementia is an obvious goal for whoever desires to age healthily. So you know what to do. 28. How does the author present his point of view? A. By analyzing causes. B. By giving opinions. C. By quoting specialists. D. By presenting research. 29. What effect might diet soda have on people? A. Slight weight loss. B. Increased blood flow. C. Raised depression risk. D. Severe mental decline. 30. Which can best replace the underlined word “aggravates” in paragraph 4? A. Deletes. B. Worsens. C. Motivates. D. Stimulates. 31. What might the author advise us to do? A. Quit consuming diet sodas. B. Limit the daily sugar intake. C. Set achievable health goals. D. Follow fixed aging process. D Recent developments in robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning have brought us in the eye of the storm of a new automation age. About half of the work carried out by people was likely to be automated by 2055 with adaption to technology, a McKinsey Global Institute report predicted. Automation can enable businesses to improve performance by reducing errors and improving quality and speed, and in some cases achieving outcomes that go beyond human capabilities. At a time of weak productivity growth worldwide, automation technologies can provide the much-needed promotion of economic growth, according to the report. Automation could raise productivity growth globally by 0.8 percent to 1.4 percent. At a global level, technically automated activities involved 1.1 billion employees and 11.9 trillion U.S. dollars in wages, the report said. The report also showed that activities most influenced by automation were physical ones in highly structured and predictable environments, as well as data collection and processing. In the United States, these activities make up 51 percent of activities in the economy, accounting for almost 2.7 trillion dollars in wages. They are most common in production, accommodation and food service, and the retail (零售) trade. And it’s not just low-skill, low-wage work that is likely to be influenced by automation; middle-skill and high-paying, high-skill occupations, too, have a degree of automation potential. The robots and computers not only can perform a range of routine physical work activities better and more cheaply than humans, but are also increasingly capable of accomplishing activities that require cognitive (认知的) capabilities, such as feeling emotions or driving. While much of the current debate about automation has focused on the potential that many people may be replaced and therefore lose their financial resources, the analysis shows that humans will still be needed: The total productivity gains will only come about if people work alongside machines. 32. What is the report mainly about? A. Comparisons of robots with humans. B. Analysis of automation’s potential in economy. C. Prediction of the unemployment problem. D. Explanations of the concept of the automation age. 33. What might happen in 2055 according to the text? A. Automation will cause weak productivity growth. B. Automation will reduce employees’ wages. C. Activities like data collection and processing will disappear. D. Activities involve feeling emotions can be performed by robots. 34. How does the author feel about human workers? A. Worried. B. Mixed. C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Automation: A challenge to all? B. Automation: Where to go from here? C. Automation: Who is the eventual winner? D. Automation: A future replacement for humans? 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。 A Few Tips for Overcoming Differences and Disagreements With Others We are now living in a world filled with conflicts and different opinions. 36 Counter anger with sympathy and empathy (同理心). Try to respond to any disharmony with sympathy and patience. Rather than get upset, think about how you can find a solution. Try to empathize with others and work with their shortcomings or issues instead of trying to change them or make them see your viewpoint. Remember different events have different meanings to different people. 37 Avoid shouting at others. Try not to become angry with others, as this will only make the disagreement worse. If you’re very upset, try stepping away from the situation and returning when you’re calm and relaxed. 38 Acknowledge the other person’s anger and offer to talk about the situation later. Allow you both to cool off a little. Thus, you can have a more productive discussion that isn’t dominated by emotion. 39 Maintain eye contact with the person when they are speaking even though you disagree with what they’re saying. Keep your arms relaxed and turn your body towards them so they know you’re paying attention. Avoid interrupting them when they’re talking. Instead, wait for them to finish speaking. Then try repeating what they said to them so they know you heard them correctly. Accept that you may not agree with everyone. You may not be able to be friends with everyone you meet. 40 Acknowledge that you may have to disagree with certain people willingly. Just because you do not agree with someone doesn’t mean you cannot have compassion and empathy for them. You can still connect with people you disagree with and find a sense of harmony with them. A. Try your best to be an active and positive listener. B. Take a deep breath and try to respond to others calmly. C. When you argue with a friend, put yourself in their shoes. D. Employ body language when communicating with other people. E. These conflicts and disagreements can bring lots of disharmony to people. F. Following are some tips for handling disharmony generously and sympathetically. G. You may have opposing ideas or values and it may be difficult to find common ground. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My initial interest in natural medicine started at a young age.

Emma was the outgoing one, always eager to try new things and make new friends. Lily was a bit more reserved, preferring to stay in her comfort zone and stick with what she knew. But despite their differences, they shared a strong bond that grew stronger as they got older. One day in elementary school, Emma and Lily were walking to school when Emma noticed that Lily seemed a bit down. She asked her what was wrong, and Lily confided (吐露) that she was nervous about an upcoming test. Emma listened attentively and then suggested that they study together after school. Lily’s face lit up, and she was grateful for her friend’s support. That afternoon, Emma and Lily sat down at the dining table in Emma’s home with their textbooks and notes. They worked through problems together, taking turns to explain concepts. Emma was patient and encouraging, cheering Lily on when she got a question right and helping her correct her mistakes when she got stuck. As they worked, Lily began to feel more confident and less anxious about the test. She realized that having a friend like Emma was a blessing, someone who would always be there to help and support her when she was “in trouble”. Meanwhile, Emma, in turn, felt grateful for the opportunity to be a good friend and make a positive difference in Lily’s life. Over the years, Emma and Lily experienced the ups and downs in life together, supporting each other through tough times and celebrating each other’s achievements. They went on adventures, explored new interests, and shared countless laughs and memories. But as they approached the end of the sixth grade, Emma and Lily faced their biggest challenge yet: Emma’s family would move to another city, and the two would have to be parted from each other. The news hit both Emma and Lily hard. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Emma’s family drove away, Lily felt a deep sense of loss and sadness. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高三英语 第 1 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 参考答案 第一部分 听力 1—5 ABCBA 6—10 ACACB 11—15 CCBCC 16—20 BABAC 第二部分 阅读 21-25 CDAAA 26-30 BBDCB 31-35ABDCD 36-40FCBAG 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 完形填空 41-45 CDBDA 46-50 CACBA 51-55DBCAB 第二节 语法填空 56.completing 57.success 58.affordable 59.was launched 60.carrying 61.foundation 62.the 63.especially 64.in 65.when 第四部分写作: 第一节: Dear Bruce. I am writing to share my travel experience during the summer vacation with you. It was a delightful journey with my family to the ancient city of Xi'an. We explored the Terracotta warriors, which was an astonishing sight , and tasted the local delicacies that were simply mouth- watering. Another highlight was the Xi'an City Wall, where we marveled at its grandeur and felt the historical significance it carries. The trip was not just about the places we visited but the bond it strengthened among us. It was a blend of adventure, culture, and family time that I will cherish forever.I hope to hear about your summer adventures too! Yours sincerely Li Hu 第二节 Paragraph 1: The news hit both Emma and Lily hard. They both were seized with sorrow upon hearing it. Lily even burst into tears immediately because she didn’t want to be separated from Emma. The following days, she was always with a heavy heart. Emma kept her company, gave her comfort and assured her that she would always be her best friend. The two girls spent many nights together, like conjoined (连体的) twins. Finally, the departure day came. Emma and Lily hugged each other tightly, promising to stay in touch and never forget each other. Paragraph 2: As Emma’s family drove away, Lily felt a deep sense of loss and sadness. But she also knew that their friendship would continue, even if they were miles apart. Over the next few years, Emma and Lily contacted each other by email, sharing updates on what happened in their life. They talked about their hopes and dreams and offered each other words of encouragement and support, as if they had never been apart. Gradually, they realized true friendship would never fade because of distance and learned the true meaning of “A bosom friend afar brings a distant land near”. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
