I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying,and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. So I was shocked when,not long after the email.Professor Mary Devon,who was running the programme,invited me to observe the work being donc in her lab.I jumped at the chance.and a few weeks later I was equally shocked-and overjoyed when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab.What she proposed didn't scem as exciting as the original project I had applied to,but I was going to give it my all. 高三英语，第4页（共12页） I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely.That project,which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert,not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn't.In the end,I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school.I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction.And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before.When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit,it was undoubtedly difficult.But this time I had the perspective (to keep it from sending me into panic.It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone,I've learncd that somctimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered,even if they don't sound perfect at the time.and make the most of them. 24.How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender's name? A.Anxious. B.Angry. C.Surprised. D.Settled. 25.After talking with Professor Devon,the author decided to A.criticise the review process B.stay longer in the Sahara Desert C.apply to the original project again D.put his heart and soul into the lab work 26.According to the author,the projcct with the robotics professor was A.demanding B.inspiring C.misleading D.amusing 27.What can we learn from this passage? A.An invilation is a reputation. B.An innovation is a resolution. C.A rejection can be a redirection. D.A reflection can he a restriction. C A machine can now not only beat you at chess,it can also outperform you in debate.Last week.in a public debate in San Francisco,a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents,including Noa Ovadia,Israels former national debating champion. Brilliant though it is,Project Debater has some weaknesses.It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together.This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make.Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out,yet they also point to a fundamental problem.As Kristian Hammond,professor of clectrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University,put it:"There's never a stage at which the 高三英语，第5页（共12页） system knows what it's talking about." What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning,and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machincs.A computer works with symbols.Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symhols into another.But it does not specify what those symbols mean.Indeed,to a computer, meaning is irrelevant.Ilumans,in thinking,talking,reading and writing,also work with symbols. But for humans,mcaning is everything.When we communicate,we communicate meaning.What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols,but the inside too.not just how they are arranged but what they mean. Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction,not of computation,interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads.The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our hcads,but also outside,in society,in social memory,social conventions and social relations.It is this that distinguishes humans from machines.And that's why,however astonishing Project Debater may seem.the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence. 28.Why does the author mention Noa (vadia in the first paragraph? A.To explain the usc of a software program. B.To show the cleverness of Project Debater. C.To introduce the designer of Project Debater. D.To emphasize the lairness of the competition. 29.What does the underlined word"wrinkles"in paragraph 2 refer to? A.Arguments. B.Doubts. C.Errors. D.Differences. 30.What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond? A.Create rules. B.Comprehend meaning. C.Talk fluently D.Identify difficult words. 31.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.Social interaction is key to understanding symbols. B.The human brain has potential yet to be developed. C.Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters. D).Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future. 高三英语.第6页（共12页） D As we age,even if we're healthy,the heart just isn't as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be.In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s.And among people who don't exercise,the changes can start even sooner. "Think of a rubber band.In the beginning,it is flexible,but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,"says Dr.Ben Levine,a heart specialist at the University of Texas.That's what happens to the heart.Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven't been an enthusiastic exerciser,getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart. Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercisc much but were otherwise healthy.Participants were randomly divided into two groups.The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic（无氧)exercise-一balance training and weight training-three times a week.The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week.After two years,the sccond group saw remarkable improvements in heart health. "We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year old hearis,says Levinc."And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump (a lot more blood during exercise."But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn't change,he says. "The sweet spot in life to start exercising,if you haven't already,is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,"Levine says."We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program,and nothing happened to them at all." Dr.Nieca Goldberg,a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association,says Levine' s findings are a great start.But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference. 32.What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band? A.The right way of cxercising. B.The causes of a heart attack. C.The difficulty of keeping fit. D.The aging process of the heart. 高三英语，第7页（共12页） 33.In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design? A.Diet plan. B.Professional background. C.Exercisc type. D.Previous physical condition. 34.What does Levine's research find? A.Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic cxercise. B.High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young. C.It is never too late for people to start taking cxercise. D.The more exercise we do.the stronger our hearts get. 35.What does Dr.Nieca Goldberg suggest? A.Making use of the findings. B.Interviewing the study participants. C.Conducting further research. D.Clarifying the purpose of the study. 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。 I have the same 24 hours in a day as you do,but I have made specific choices that allow me to make the most of every day,and still feel happy and relaxed.36 OPick the most important. 37 Focus on spending time that for you is fun and productive.I chose the life of an adviser because I like to work with companies,but don't want the life of a big company CEO.

Recently, a newly-furnished section, consisting of eight Group Learning Rooms, has been open to us students in our school library. Located on the third floor beside the online reading rooms, it can be accessible from 8 am till 9 pm throughout the weekdays. Those rooms are equipped with modern electronic facilities, all of which are linked to the Internet. It’s really convenient for us to do some group projects. Why not ask our group members to go and experience it? Early reply and we can reserve one room for our project. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） After school, I returned home and dragged to my room. Feeling a stab of guilt overwhelming me, I threw myself on the bed and buried my face in the pillow, tears of regret rolling down my cheeks. With my friend's words lingering in my mind, I felt my stomach tightened and knotted badly from the shame. Staring at the my drawing of the bike, I gradually realized that I needed to fix it and made up my mind to confess and return the bike. However, not knowing where he lived, I gathered all my courage and came up to mom to ask for help, telling her everything with uneasiness. To my surprise, instead of giving me a good scolding, mom just nodded approvingly and patted me gently on the head. "I know Tyler's house," Mom said. "I'll drive you there." Carrying the bike and heading towards his house, so nervous did I feel that my throat tightened and my palms kept sweating. When we finally arrived, hesitant though I was, I clenched my fists and knocked at the door. Seeing Tyler coming out with his face lit up by the bike, I immediately explained in a weak voice and made a sincere apology. Surprisingly, instead of getting mad at me, he forgave me with a broad smile, hugging me softly and even offering to lend me his bike. A wave of relief welling up in my heart on the way home, I came to realize that to live a life of honesty and integrity is a responsibility of every decent person. 听力录音 Text 1 W: Did you watch the show yesterday afternoon? M: No, I was busy with my report. Did you watch it? W: Yes, I went with my cousin. It was quite good. Text 2 W: Hi, Albert. I just received a call from Peterson’s company. They want to know if the brochures are ready. M: Well, the printing has been delayed because the factory went through a power failure the other day. Text 3 W: Excuse me. Where are the checking desks for American Airlines? M: Over there. Desks numbers 47 to 50. W: Okay, thanks. Text 4 W: Steve, what would you say is your hometown? M: Um, that’s a difficult question because I’ve traveled around so much. Still, um, Toronto, I suppose. I’ve lived there for more than twenty years. I wasn’t born there, though. Text 5 W: Look at all the paper in the waste basket next to the copy machine. That’s really wasteful. There should be a better way to deal with it. M: Well, we should try to recycle all our waste paper. That would save money and help the environment. Text 6 M: Who was that? W: It was Cindy. She sounded very upset and said that she couldn’t follow the teacher. I knew the training class was making her upset. M: Honey, calm down. She’ll be all right. W: I’m calling her teacher. Give me Miss Gale’s number. Maybe she could help her. M: Okay, okay, her number is 673-898-98. Text 7 M: Lucy, I have a conflict in my schedule. I don’t know what to do. W: Can’t you rearrange your schedule? M: No, the other sections of the courses I need are closed. W: Then you’ll have to drop a course. M: I don’t know which one to drop — Math 102, or History 301? W: Well, since you want to major in Computer Science and you need to take Math 102 before taking several computer science courses like CS 203, it’s important to take Math 102 right away. M: You are right, but I do like history and I heard the history teacher is a very good one. I’ll think about it. Text 8 W: Hey, you are back from your vacation. Where did you go? M: Maddieville. W: Where is Maddieville? I’ve never heard of it. M: It’s a small town about a six-hour drive from here. There is an old-style main street just like one in the good old days, you know. It was really amazing. Along the street, there are many old shops, and the people are very friendly. W: I’m not sure I’d want to travel back in time. It doesn’t sound very exciting. M: It was not as lively as some places I had been to, but I enjoyed the old shops, the sincere people and the true friendliness. W: What did you do there? M: For an entire week, I visited the shops, ate at the family-owned restaurants, and learned about the unusual history of the town by chatting with the old-timers at the local bar. W: But that sounds like a boring place to me. M: Then I guess you wouldn’t want to go back with me this summer for their music festival. W: Did you say music festival? Maybe I shouldn’t dismiss small-town appeal quite so quickly. Text 9 W: Did you enjoy your stay with us, sir? M: Yes, very much. Now I need to get to the airport. I have a flight that leaves in about two hours. I heard you have a free airport bus service? W: Yes, we do. The next bus leaves in about half an hour. It takes about twenty-five minutes to get to the airport. M: Fantastic. I’ll just wait in the hallway. Will you please let me know when it will be leaving? W: Of course, sir. Oh, before you go, would you please settle the bill for your drink at our bar just now? M: Oh, sorry, I almost forgot. How much is it? W: Fifteen dollars and fifty cents. How would you like to pay? M: Credit card. And I’ll need a receipt, please. W: Okay. Would you like to sign the hotel guest book while you wait? M: Sure, I had a really good stay here. W: Thank you again for staying with us. Text 10 W: Well, now let me tell you what I’ve been doing in recent years. In 2015, I retired from my post as a designer for a furniture company. And since then, I’ve been working as a volunteer. In 2017, I joined Green Woodpecker — an organization that promotes environmental protection. At the beginning, I mostly worked in public squares near the west railway station, helping the traffic police and giving directions to passengers. Then my work focus changed. When our city adopted the new tobacco control rules in June, 2018, I began a new task: persuading people not to smoke in public places. In addition to the railway station, I have been going to places where there are many restaurants and bars. We work in groups of three, and try to stop people from smoking. Fortunately, most smokers are supportive and put out their cigarettes when we ask them to, but that was not the case in the early days — some smokers could become quite violent. I like being a volunteer. The work is exciting and makes me feel young. It has now become part of my life. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
