阅读理解、六选四组合练03（上海） （满分：60分，推荐用时：60分钟） 第一套 Section A Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. 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 【来源】上海市实验学校2024-2025学年高三上学期十月月考英语试题 Moby-Dick was, for me, one of those books classified of “things you should have read a long time ago”. And as I am a mathematician, despite my interest in literature, my intellectual priorities did not include a 400-page novel about whales. That all changed one day when I overheard a mathematician friend mention that Moby-Dick contains a reference to cycloids. Cycloids are among the most beautiful mathematical curves in existence — the French mathematician Blaise Pascal found them so distractingly fascinating that he claimed merely thinking about them could relieve the pain of a bad toothache — but applications to whaling are not usually listed on their resume. Curious, I finally read Moby-Dick, and was delighted to find that it is full of mathematical metaphors. I realized further it’s not just Herman Melville; Leo Tolstoy writes about calculus (微积分), James Joyce about geometry. Regretfully, the connections between mathematics and literature have not received the attention they deserve. In fact, they are often considered to be against each other. I recall that at the end of my very last English class at school, in 1991, the teacher gave me a lovely handwritten note with a long list of books she thought I might like, saying, “Sorry to lose you to the lab.” The idea that one would have to choose between mathematics and literature is, I think, something of a tragedy — not only because the two fields are fundamentally linked, but also because understanding these links can enhance your enjoyment of both. The perceived boundary between math and literature is actually a very recent idea. For most of recorded history, mathematics was part of every educated person’s cultural awareness. The 11th-century Persian scholar Omar Khayyam, to whom the poetry collection known as the Rubaiyat is credited, was also a mathematician, and created beautiful geometric solutions to mathematical problems. In the 14th century, Chaucer wrote both The Canterbury Tales and a paper on the astrolabe (星盘，用于测量天体的距离). There are innumerable such examples, not least that of Lewis Carroll, who, of course, was a mathematician first and an author second. There is a deeper reason we find mathematics at the heart of literature. The universe is full of underlying structure, pattern and regularity, and mathematics is the best tool we have for understanding it. That’s why mathematics is often called the language of the universe, and why it is so vital to science. Since we humans are part of the universe, it is only natural that our forms of creative expression, literature among them, will also reveal a tendency for pattern and structure. 1．What inspired the author to read Moby-Dick? A．The topic of the book. B．His friend’s recommendation. C．His long-time interest in literature. D．There being some maths in the book. 2．The author’s English teacher’s words are mentioned in paragraph 4 in order to ________. A．form a sharp contrast with the attainment he later made B．imply that mathematics and literature haven’t received proper attention C．protest against the unfair treatment he once received while young D．show that maths and literature are regarded as distinctive subjects 3．What do Omar Khayyam, Chaucer and Lewis Carroll have in common? A．All of them were famous novelists. B．All of them were in favour of reading widely. C．All of them were masters in both maths and literature. D．All of them were aware of the boundary between maths and literature. 4．Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with? A．Taking on maths and giving up literature was not a wise choice for him. B．Both maths and literature are part of the pursuit to understand the universe. C．There is enough research on the connections between maths and literature. D．Mathematicians may find it hard to understand ideas embedded in literature.

C 【来源】上海市风华中2024-2025学年高三上学期英语11月月考英语试题 Po-Shen Loh, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and Team USA’s coach for the International Mathematical Olympiad (国际数学奥林匹克竞赛), delivered a talk called “How to Survive the ChatGPT Invasion.” And his simple practical advice applied to everyone in the hall, “Think about what makes humans human,” Loh said. He says the key to survival is knowing how to solve problems - and knowing which problems to solve. He urges math enthusiasts to focus on creativity, emotion and the stuff that distinguishes man from machine and won’t go obsolete. As artificial intelligence gets smarter, the importance on ingenuity will become greater. This is what he wants to drill into their impressionable (易受影响的) young minds: Being human will only be more important as AI becomes more powerful. But the people who will inherit the economy reshaped by the AI boom are students today. The tech they’re already using to cheat on their homework will look primitive by the time they’re in college. They belong to the first generation that will have grown up with AI, just as Gen Z came of age with the iPhone and millennials barely remember a time before they were online. These children and teens of the ChatGPT era will have a better intuitive understanding of this disruptive force than adults because they will have never really experienced life without it. After his talk, I asked how his message to a room full of fifth-graders applies to someone in an office, and he replied faster than ChatGPT. “The future of jobs is figuring out how to find pain points,” he said. “And a pain point is a human pain.” It’s his theorem (定理) of success. “You need to be able to create value,” he said. “People who make value will always have opportunities.” “This machine is the world’s most powerful tool at repeating things that have done many times before,” he tells students. “But now I want to show something it cannot do.” Loh then fed ChatGPT a question that it almost certainly hasn’t seen before and it messed up the answer. This might sound familiar to anyone who has spent enough time with a chat-bot that has a nasty habit of being confidently wrong: It made up a bunch of nonsense and apologized for its errors. Besides, Loh is a big fan of non-obvious things. At a university known for computer science, he teaches with a piece of chalk. To improve his public speaking, he spent a year taking improve comedy classes. He found a pain point, followed his own advice and took his innate advantage over AI: He’s a human. “Is there going to be a great human-versus-robots war? The answer is, unfortunately, yes,” Loh said. “My goal is to make sure the humans win.” 8．Which of the following words is in closest meaning to the underlined word “obsolete” (para. 2)? A．extinct B．out-of-date C．unnoticed D．downhill 9．What do students today have in common with Gen Z and millennials? A．They are of the same age and will inherit the economy reshaped by AI boom. B．They all use powerful AI tools like ChatGPT to chat on their homework. C．They all grow up with a major and specific technology breakthrough. D．They understand the disruptive force of AI as none of them experienced life without it. 10．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．What makes humans human is our innate advantage against the ever-powerful, ever-smarter AI. B．Feeding ChatGPT a tricky question that appeared in the IMO is one of the so-called “non-obvious things”. C．The future of jobs lies in the fact that we must figure out in which part of our body human pain appears. D．IMO contestants are those who have opportunities in the future as they know how to create value. 11．What is Po-Shen Loh’s attitude towards the unavoidable war between human and robots? A．Indifferent. B．Suspicious. C．Desperate. D．Confident. Section B 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. 【来源】上海市建平中学2023-2024学年高三英语3月检测英语试题 Unlike so-called basic emotions such as sadness, fear, and anger, guilt emerges a little later, in conjunction with a child’s growing grasp of social and moral norms. Children aren’t born knowing how to say “I’m sorry”, rather, they learn over time that such statements appease (安抚) parents and friends and their own consciences. This is why researchers generally regard so-called moral guilt, in the right amount, to be a good thing. 12 It evokes Freud’s ideas and religious hang-ups. More important, guilt is deeply uncomfortable — it’s the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones. Who would inflict it upon a child? Yet this understanding is outdated. “There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what guilt is and what role guilt can serve,” Vaish says, adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions aren’t binary feelings that may be advantageous in one context and may be harmful in another. And guilt, by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness, can encourage humans to correct errors and fix relationships. 13 It is a kind of social glue. Viewed in this light, guilt is an opportunity. Work by Tina Malti, a psychology professor at the University of Toronto, suggests that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency. In a number of studies, Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy (and its close cousin empathy) may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing. Some kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt, which can control their impulses. 14 In a 2014 study, for example, Malti and a colleague looked at 244 children, aged 4, 8, and 12. Using caregiver assessments and the children’s self-observations, they rated each child’s overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions (like guilt and sadness) after moral transgressions (违背) . Then the kids were handed stickers and chocolate coins, and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child. 15 The guilt-prone ones shared more. However, they may not magically have become more sympathetic to the other child’s deprivation. “That’s good news.” Malti says, “We can be pro-social because of the empathetic proclivity (倾向) , or because we caused harm and we feel regret.” A．And vice versa: High sympathy can substitute for low guilt. B．The main reason why guilt works comes down to simple psychology and conditioning we receive as children. C．For the low-sympathy kids, how much they shared appeared to turn on how likely they were to feel guilty. D．Guilt is an incredibly powerful emotion which has slip by unnoticed for long. E．In the popular imagination, of course, guilt still gets a bad reputation. F．Guilt, in other words, can help hold a cooperative species together. 第二套 Section A Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. 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 【来源】上海市进才中学2024-2025学年高三上英语9月月考英语试题 When I was 16, my father, in a burst of entrepreneurial spirit, bought an old guesthouse in our village and decided to turn it into a luxury hotel. At the early stages, he experimented with everything. My dad had never dipped a toe into the world of hospitality himself, yet he had a vision of what guests might desire. His standards were exceedingly high and he firmly believed that hard work was the golden ticket to achieving them. For a month that summer, my name was on the duty list as waitress at breakfast and dinner, which included laying the tables and glass polishing. This gave me the middle of the day to hit the books because my school report had not lived up to my father’s high expectations. Like all the other waitresses, I was equipped with a neat little uniform and instructions to treat the guests as though they were distinguished guests in my own home. Although I did not feel comfortable with this, I kept my feelings under wraps. Instead, I focused intently on performing the job as well as, if not better than, the older girls. I soon learned how to handle the two most frightening installations in the kitchen: the dishwasher and the chef, Gordon. He had an impressive chef’s hat and an ability to lose his temper for no clear reason. His breath was strong and fishy, and I always grabbed the dishes he set down with a forbidding expression on my face which was transformed into a charming smile between two battlefields. Breakfast waitressing was more enjoyable than the dinner shift. The guests came wandering into the dining room from seven thirty onwards, their eyes lighting up at the breathtaking view of the sea and islands framed by our dining-room windows. If the day looked promising, I would note down requests for boats and packed lunches along with their breakfast orders. It was a matter of pride to me that everyone got their order quickly, and I took pleasure in my ability to get on with the people at each table. It was funny how differently people behaved in the evening, dressed up and talking with louder, colder voices, not always returning my smile. 1．How was the writer’s father according to the first paragraph? A．enterprising and cautious B．industrious and caring C．daring and demanding D．visionary and sensitive 2．What did the writer mean by saying “l always grabbed the dishes … a charming smile between two battlefields”? A．She drove Gordon made because of the way she look the dishes. B．She forbade Gordon from getting angry as the do-owner of the hotel. C．She checked the food Gordon gave her in case it smelled fishy D．She adjusted her mood very quickly to better serve the diners. 3．Why did the writer enjoy serving breakfasts more than dinners? A．The splendid daytime scenery lifted her mood. B．She was delighted t establish friendly ties with diners C．Distinguished guests were more punctual at breakfast. D．It was more exciting to cater to challenging requests 4．What can be learned about the way the writer performed her job? A．She managed to do it better despite several difficulties. B．She devoted herself to it at the cost of her academic performance C．She found all aspects of it enjoyable like the other waitresses. D．She navigated it effortlessly owing to her self-confidence.

They’ve shared the information following the government’s commitment to root out its net contribution to climate change by 2050. Clara Goldsmith, capaigns director from the Climate Coalition, said: “We know that climate change is already having immense impacts, both in the UK and elsewhere in the world, as we see an increase in extreme weather events — from the 2018 heatwaves to wildfires in the Arctic Circle. But it’s also having an impact on many things that might surprise us as climate change permeates so many aspects of our lives.” The good old pint is not exempt from the impacts of it. Besides water shortages, brewers are growing increasingly concerned about the second key ingredient — barley. Droughts in the UK significantly damage barley crops, along with other grains. The production and quality of hopes are similarly threatened by increasing temperatures. Allergies are expected to worsen. Pollen is produced at a higher rate when plants are exposed to warmer temperatures and higher levels of CO2, two hallmarks of our changing climate. Also, higher temperatures may lengthen the period in which plants produce pollen. It may be a national staple, but tea production is due to be drastically influenced by climate change, with key regions set to experience significant reductions in production, predicting the declining quality of our favorite beverage. In a warming climate food will expire faster as the bacteria responsible for making your food go moldy multiplies faster in higher temperatures. This will add to the 7 million tons of food thrown out by UK households every year. Around 1 in 4 adults in the UK will experience a mental health illness in their lifetime, and it is likely climate change will contribute. Climate change exposes communities to extreme weather events, including severe flooding and heatwaves, which can leave individuals vulnerable to mental health illnesses. Several studies have found a relationship between increased temperatures and fatal car accidents, with hot weather making drivers fatigued. As heatwaves are expected to increase in frequency and severity in the UK, car crashes may, unfortunately, become more frequent. Extreme weather events are set to become more frequent due to climate change. To make matters worse, the aftermath of such events is plagued by difficulties claiming home insurance. In the US, thousands lost coverage after extreme weather, while closer to home, insurance premiums have already increased by 7.6%. 8．What do we know about the Climate Coalition? A．It reveals climate change has had a big impact on people’s life in every regard. B．It is a campaign against the human behaviors that may contribute to the climate change. C．It details the UK government’s commitment to get rid of climate change by 2050. D．Several extreme weather events are given to show how immensely climate change can impact human. 9．What does the underlined “it” refer to in paragraph 2? A．a rise in extreme weather events B．climate change C．permeation of climate change D．water shortages 10．How many aspects that are affected by the rising temperature are mentioned? A．three B．five C．seven D．eight 11．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A．An increase in pollen brought by climate change may be the main reason for future allergies. B．Higher temperature may worsen the phenomenon of wasting food. C．Most people are likely to suffer from chronic mental illness because of extreme weather events. D．The home insurance premium will be increased by at least 7.6% to cover all the risks brought by climate change. Section B 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. 【来源】浙江省强基联盟2024-2025学年高三12月联考英语试题 Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (pocket money). The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly. 12 . Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. 13 . The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works. Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they can do with money. 14 . They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save and maybe even invest it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. 15 . A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest. Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up. A．Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. B．They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. C．It is a good virtue for children to form a habit to learn how to save money. D．The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. E．Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. F．Parents are supposed to tell their children how they should spend their pocket money wisely but the refused to do so. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 阅读理解、六选四组合练03（上海） （满分：60分，推荐用时：60分钟） 第一套 Section A Directions: Read the following four passages.

That all changed one day when I overheard a mathematician friend mention that Moby-Dick contains a reference to cycloids. (由于我是一名数学家，尽管我对文学很感兴趣，但我的智力优先考虑的不是一本关于鲸鱼的400页的小说。有一天，我无意中听到一位数学家朋友提到《白鲸》中提到了旋轮线，这一切都改变了)”可知，因为《白鲸》提到了数学中的旋轮线，所以作者最终决定阅读这本书。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“Regretfully, the connections between mathematics and literature have not received the attention they deserve. In fact, they are often considered to be against each other. I recall that at the end of my very last English class at school, in 1991, the teacher gave me a lovely handwritten note with a long list of books she thought I might like, saying, “Sorry to lose you to the lab.” (遗憾的是，数学和文学之间的联系并没有得到应有的重视。事实上，它们经常被认为是相互对立的。我记得1991年我在学校上的最后一堂英语课结束时，老师给了我一张可爱的手写便条，上面有一长串她认为我可能会喜欢的书，她说：“很遗憾你选择了实验室。”)”可知，此处先提到数学和文学通常被认为是相互对立的，然后提到英语老师推荐书单，并表达对作者选择数学而非文学的遗憾。由此可知，英语老师的话反映了数学和文学被视为不同的学科的观念。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The 11th-century Persian scholar Omar Khayyam, to whom the poetry collection known as the Rubaiyat is credited, was also a mathematician, and created beautiful geometric solutions to mathematical problems. In the 14th century, Chaucer wrote both The Canterbury Tales and a paper on the astrolabe (星盘，用于测量天体的距离). There are innumerable such examples, not least that of Lewis Carroll, who, of course, was a mathematician first and an author second. (11世纪的波斯学者奥马尔·海亚姆也是一位数学家，他为数学问题创造了美丽的几何解，诗集《鲁拜集》的作者就是他。在14世纪，乔叟写了《坎特伯雷故事集》和一篇关于星盘的论文。这样的例子数不胜数，尤其是刘易斯·卡罗尔，他首先是一位数学家，其次才是一位作家)”可知，这些人都是数学和文学的双重大师。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The universe is full of underlying structure, pattern and regularity, and mathematics is the best tool we have for understanding it. That’s why mathematics is often called the language of the universe, and why it is so vital to science. Since we humans are part of the universe, it is only natural that our forms of creative expression, literature among them, will also reveal a tendency for pattern and structure. (宇宙充满了潜在的结构、模式和规律，数学是我们理解它的最佳工具。这就是为什么数学通常被称为宇宙的语言，也是为什么它对科学如此重要。既然我们人类是宇宙的一部分，我们的创造性表达形式，包括文学，自然也会显示出一种模式和结构的倾向)”可知，数学是理解宇宙的最佳工具，而文学作为人类的创造性表达形式，也显示出对模式和结构的倾向。因此，作者认为数学和文学在根本上是有联系的，很可能同意数学和文学都是理解宇宙的一部分。故选B项。 B 【来源】上海市金山区2024-2025学年高三上学期12月质量监控英语试卷 Home About YES Programs News Events Study Guide Partnership Contact Us Home> Programs> International Summer Winte) School 2025 SISU Global Winter Camp Shanghai International Studies University Request Info Quick Facts  Admission  Fees  Financial Aids  Programs  Contact School Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) Degree Requirement Doctorate, Master, Postgraduate, Undergraduate, Vocational College, Senior High School, Junior High School Enrollment Number 300 Description The 2025 SISU Global Winter Camp offers a platform for international students across the world to learn more about Chinese language and China’s culture.

He says the key to survival is knowing how to solve problems - and knowing which problems to solve. He urges math enthusiasts to focus on creativity, emotion and the stuff that distinguishes man from machine and won’t go obsolete. As artificial intelligence gets smarter, the importance on ingenuity will become greater. This is what he wants to drill into their impressionable (易受影响的) young minds: Being human will only be more important as AI becomes more powerful. But the people who will inherit the economy reshaped by the AI boom are students today. The tech they’re already using to cheat on their homework will look primitive by the time they’re in college. They belong to the first generation that will have grown up with AI, just as Gen Z came of age with the iPhone and millennials barely remember a time before they were online. These children and teens of the ChatGPT era will have a better intuitive understanding of this disruptive force than adults because they will have never really experienced life without it. After his talk, I asked how his message to a room full of fifth-graders applies to someone in an office, and he replied faster than ChatGPT. “The future of jobs is figuring out how to find pain points,” he said. “And a pain point is a human pain.” It’s his theorem (定理) of success. “You need to be able to create value,” he said. “People who make value will always have opportunities.” “This machine is the world’s most powerful tool at repeating things that have done many times before,” he tells students. “But now I want to show something it cannot do.” Loh then fed ChatGPT a question that it almost certainly hasn’t seen before and it messed up the answer. This might sound familiar to anyone who has spent enough time with a chat-bot that has a nasty habit of being confidently wrong: It made up a bunch of nonsense and apologized for its errors. Besides, Loh is a big fan of non-obvious things. At a university known for computer science, he teaches with a piece of chalk. To improve his public speaking, he spent a year taking improve comedy classes. He found a pain point, followed his own advice and took his innate advantage over AI: He’s a human. “Is there going to be a great human-versus-robots war? The answer is, unfortunately, yes,” Loh said. “My goal is to make sure the humans win.” 8．Which of the following words is in closest meaning to the underlined word “obsolete” (para. 2)? A．extinct B．out-of-date C．unnoticed D．downhill 9．What do students today have in common with Gen Z and millennials? A．They are of the same age and will inherit the economy reshaped by AI boom. B．They all use powerful AI tools like ChatGPT to chat on their homework. C．They all grow up with a major and specific technology breakthrough. D．They understand the disruptive force of AI as none of them experienced life without it. 10．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．What makes humans human is our innate advantage against the ever-powerful, ever-smarter AI. B．Feeding ChatGPT a tricky question that appeared in the IMO is one of the so-called “non-obvious things”. C．The future of jobs lies in the fact that we must figure out in which part of our body human pain appears. D．IMO contestants are those who have opportunities in the future as they know how to create value. 11．What is Po-Shen Loh’s attitude towards the unavoidable war between human and robots? A．Indifferent. B．Suspicious. C．Desperate. D．Confident. 【答案】8．B 9．C 10．A 11．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了卡内基梅隆大学教授、美国国际数学奥林匹克竞赛教练Po-Shen Loh关于如何在ChatGPT入侵下生存的演讲内容。 8．词句猜测题。结合常识和划线词所在句“He urges math enthusiasts to focus on creativity, emotion and the stuff that distinguishes man from machine and won’t go obsolete. (他敦促数学爱好者关注创造力、情感以及那些能将人类与机器区分开来并且不会_____的东西。)”中“creativity, emotion and the stuff that distinguishes man from machine”可知，“创造力、情感以及那些能将人类与机器区分开来的东西”是不会过时和落后的，无论机器人如何进化，这些特质永远不会过时。所以划线词obsolete与out-of-date意思相近，意为“过时的，落后的”。故选B项。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段中“They belong to the first generation that will have grown up with AI, just as Gen Z came of age with the iPhone and millennials barely remember a time before they were online. (他们属于伴随着人工智能长大的第一代人，就像Z世代伴随着iPhone长大，千禧一代几乎不记得他们上网之前的时代。)”可知，今天的学生、Z世代和千禧一代的共同点是他们都伴随着一项重大而特定的技术突破而成长。故选C项。 10．细节理解题。根据第二段中“He urges math enthusiasts to focus on creativity, emotion and the stuff that distinguishes man from machine and won’t go obsolete. As artificial intelligence gets smarter, the importance on ingenuity will become greater. This is what he wants to drill into their impressionable (易受影响的) young minds: Being human will only be more important as AI becomes more powerful. (他敦促数学爱好者把注意力集中在创造力、情感和那些将人与机器区分开来、不会过时的东西上。随着人工智能变得越来越智能，独创性将变得越来越重要。这就是他想灌输给这些易受影响的年轻人的思想：随着人工智能变得越来越强大，作为人类只会越来越重要。)”可知，创造力、情感和独创性是让人类与机器区分开来的东西，让人成为人，是人类的先天优势，让我们能对抗越来越强大、越来越聪明的人工智能。故选A项。 11．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘Is there going to be a great human-versus-robots war? The answer is, unfortunately, yes,’ Loh said. ‘My goal is to make sure the humans win.’ (‘会不会有一场伟大的人类与机器人的战争？不幸的是，答案是肯定的，’罗说。‘我的目标是确保人类获胜。’)”可知，Po-Shen Loh可以确保人类获胜，对于人类和机器人之间不可避免的战争充满信心。故选D项。 Section B 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. 【来源】上海市建平中学2023-2024学年高三英语3月检测英语试题 Unlike so-called basic emotions such as sadness, fear, and anger, guilt emerges a little later, in conjunction with a child’s growing grasp of social and moral norms. Children aren’t born knowing how to say “I’m sorry”, rather, they learn over time that such statements appease (安抚) parents and friends and their own consciences. This is why researchers generally regard so-called moral guilt, in the right amount, to be a good thing. 12 It evokes Freud’s ideas and religious hang-ups. More important, guilt is deeply uncomfortable — it’s the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones. Who would inflict it upon a child? Yet this understanding is outdated. “There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what guilt is and what role guilt can serve,” Vaish says, adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions aren’t binary feelings that may be advantageous in one context and may be harmful in another. And guilt, by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness, can encourage humans to correct errors and fix relationships. 13 It is a kind of social glue. Viewed in this light, guilt is an opportunity. Work by Tina Malti, a psychology professor at the University of Toronto, suggests that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency. In a number of studies, Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy (and its close cousin empathy) may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing. Some kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt, which can control their impulses. 14 In a 2014 study, for example, Malti and a colleague looked at 244 children, aged 4, 8, and 12. Using caregiver assessments and the children’s self-observations, they rated each child’s overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions (like guilt and sadness) after moral transgressions (违背) . Then the kids were handed stickers and chocolate coins, and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child. 15 The guilt-prone ones shared more. However, they may not magically have become more sympathetic to the other child’s deprivation. “That’s good news.” Malti says, “We can be pro-social because of the empathetic proclivity (倾向) , or because we caused harm and we feel regret.” A．And vice versa: High sympathy can substitute for low guilt. B．The main reason why guilt works comes down to simple psychology and conditioning we receive as children. C．For the low-sympathy kids, how much they shared appeared to turn on how likely they were to feel guilty. D．Guilt is an incredibly powerful emotion which has slip by unnoticed for long. E．In the popular imagination, of course, guilt still gets a bad reputation. F．Guilt, in other words, can help hold a cooperative species together. 【答案】12．E 13．F 14．A 15．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要探讨了内疚对人类社交和道德行为的影响。 12．根据上文的“This is why researchers generally regard so-called moral guilt, in the right amount, to be a good thing.(这就是为什么研究人员普遍认为适量的所谓道德内疚是一件好事。)”可知，内疚是有好处的。根据下文的“It evokes Freud’s ideas and religious hang-ups. More important, guilt is deeply uncomfortable—it’s the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones. (它唤起了弗洛伊德的思想和宗教的困扰。更重要的是，内疚是非常不舒服的——它就像穿着一件装着石头的夹克。)”可知，内疚是有不好的。E项(当然，在大众的想象中，内疚仍然有不好的名声。)与上文构成转折关系，引出下文，解释说明为什么内疚是不好的。故选E项。 13．根据上文的“And guilt, by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness, can encourage humans to correct errors and fix relationships. (而内疚，通过促使我们更深入地思考我们的善良，可以鼓励人们纠正错误，修复关系。)”和下文的“It is a kind of social glue.(它是一种社交粘合剂。)”可知，F项(换句话说，内疚可以帮助合作的物种团结在一起。)承接上文，说明了内疚发挥了团结人们的作用，下文是对内疚发挥作用的一种形象性的比喻，说明了内疚对于社交的积极作用。故选F项。 14．根据上文的“Some kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt, which can control their impulses.(一些缺乏同情心的孩子可能会通过体验更多的内疚感来弥补这一不足，这可以控制他们的冲动。)”可知，A项(反之亦然：富有同情心可以弥补内疚感的不足。)承接上文，说明了同情心和内疚感可以互相促进，弥补彼此的不足。故选A项。 15．根据上文的“Then the kids were handed stickers and chocolate coins, and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child. (然后，孩子们拿到了贴纸和巧克力硬币，并有机会与一个匿名的孩子分享它们。)”和下文的“The guilt-prone ones shared more. However, they may not magically have become more sympathetic to the other child’s deprivation.(有负罪感的人分享得更多。然而，他们可能不会神奇地对于其他孩子的剥夺变得更同情。)”可知，C项(对于缺乏同情心的孩子来说，他们分享的多少似乎与他们感到内疚的可能性有关。)承接上文，指出了实验结果，得出了分享与内疚的相关性，下文指出了相关性的具体表现，即有负罪感的人分享得更多，然后意义发生了转折，即使有负罪感的人分享得更多，他们可能不会同情其他孩子受到的剥夺。故选C项。 第二套 Section A Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. 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 【来源】上海市进才中学2024-2025学年高三上英语9月月考英语试题 When I was 16, my father, in a burst of entrepreneurial spirit, bought an old guesthouse in our village and decided to turn it into a luxury hotel. At the early stages, he experimented with everything. My dad had never dipped a toe into the world of hospitality himself, yet he had a vision of what guests might desire. His standards were exceedingly high and he firmly believed that hard work was the golden ticket to achieving them. For a month that summer, my name was on the duty list as waitress at breakfast and dinner, which included laying the tables and glass polishing. This gave me the middle of the day to hit the books because my school report had not lived up to my father’s high expectations. Like all the other waitresses, I was equipped with a neat little uniform and instructions to treat the guests as though they were distinguished guests in my own home. Although I did not feel comfortable with this, I kept my feelings under wraps. Instead, I focused intently on performing the job as well as, if not better than, the older girls. I soon learned how to handle the two most frightening installations in the kitchen: the dishwasher and the chef, Gordon. He had an impressive chef’s hat and an ability to lose his temper for no clear reason. His breath was strong and fishy, and I always grabbed the dishes he set down with a forbidding expression on my face which was transformed into a charming smile between two battlefields. Breakfast waitressing was more enjoyable than the dinner shift. The guests came wandering into the dining room from seven thirty onwards, their eyes lighting up at the breathtaking view of the sea and islands framed by our dining-room windows. If the day looked promising, I would note down requests for boats and packed lunches along with their breakfast orders. It was a matter of pride to me that everyone got their order quickly, and I took pleasure in my ability to get on with the people at each table. It was funny how differently people behaved in the evening, dressed up and talking with louder, colder voices, not always returning my smile. 1．How was the writer’s father according to the first paragraph? A．enterprising and cautious B．industrious and caring C．daring and demanding D．visionary and sensitive 2．What did the writer mean by saying “l always grabbed the dishes … a charming smile between two battlefields”? A．She drove Gordon made because of the way she look the dishes. B．She forbade Gordon from getting angry as the do-owner of the hotel. C．She checked the food Gordon gave her in case it smelled fishy D．She adjusted her mood very quickly to better serve the diners. 3．Why did the writer enjoy serving breakfasts more than dinners? A．The splendid daytime scenery lifted her mood. B．She was delighted t establish friendly ties with diners C．Distinguished guests were more punctual at breakfast. D．It was more exciting to cater to challenging requests 4．What can be learned about the way the writer performed her job? A．She managed to do it better despite several difficulties. B．She devoted herself to it at the cost of her academic performance C．She found all aspects of it enjoyable like the other waitresses. D．She navigated it effortlessly owing to her self-confidence. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了作者16岁时在父亲开设的旅馆中做服务员的经历，包括工作内容、与同事和客人的互动以及个人感受等。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“When I was 16, my father, in a burst of entrepreneurial spirit, bought an old guesthouse in our village and decided to turn it into a luxury hotel. At the early stages, he experimented with everything. My dad had never dipped a toe into the world of hospitality himself, yet he had a vision of what guests might desire. His standards were exceedingly high and he firmly believed that hard work was the golden ticket to achieving them.(我16岁那年，父亲突发企业家精神，买下了我们村里的一间旧宾馆，决定把它改造成一家豪华酒店。在早期阶段，他尝试了所有的东西。我父亲自己从未涉足过招待客人的世界，但他对客人的需求有一个预见。他的标准非常高，他坚信努力工作是实现这些目标的黄金门票)”可知，父亲从未涉足过酒店的世界，却准备开酒店，说明父亲是胆子大的，他的标准非常高，说明他是要求高的。故选C项。 2．词句猜测题。根据前文“I soon learned how to handle the two most frightening installations in the kitchen: the dishwasher and the chef, Gordon., He had an impressive chef’s hat and an ability to lose his temper for no clear reason. His breath was strong and fishy(我很快就学会了如何应对厨房里两个最让人害怕的存在：洗碗机和厨师戈登。戈登戴着一顶引人注目的厨师帽，而且总是无缘无故地发脾气。他的口气很重，带着鱼腥味)”可知，作者很快就学会了如何应对厨房里两个最让人害怕的存在，所以是很快调整了心情，以便更好地为食客服务。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Breakfast waitressing was more enjoyable than the dinner shift. The guests came wandering into the dining room from seven thirty onwards, their eyes lighting up at the breathtaking view of the sea and islands framed by our dining-room windows. If the day looked promising, I would note down requests for boats and packed lunches along with their breakfast orders. It was a matter of pride to me that everyone got their order quickly, and I took pleasure in my ability to get on with the people at each table. It was funny how differently people behaved in the evening, dressed up and talking with louder, colder voices, not always returning my smile.(做早餐服务员比当班吃晚饭有意思多了。客人们从七点半开始就溜达着走进餐厅，映入眼帘的是我们餐厅窗户映出的大海和岛屿的壮丽景色。如果这一天看起来很有希望，我就会在他们的早餐订单上记下他们要船和盒装午餐的要求。让我感到骄傲的是，每个人都很快点了菜，我也很高兴能和每桌的人和睦相处。有趣的是，晚上人们的行为举止各不相同，他们盛装打扮，说话声音更大、更冷，并不总是对我报以微笑)”可知，来吃早餐的人比吃晚餐的人更能建立友好关系，所以作者更喜欢提供早餐而不是晚餐。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段“Like all the other waitresses, I was equipped with a neat little uniform and instructions to treat the guests as though they were distinguished guests in my own home. Although I did not feel comfortable with this, I kept my feelings under wraps. Instead, I focused intently on performing the job as well as, if not better than, the older girls.(像所有其他女服务员一样，我也穿着整洁的小制服，并得到指示，要像对待自己家里的贵宾一样对待客人。虽然我对此感到不舒服，但我还是把自己的感受隐藏起来。相反，我专注于把工作做得和年长的女孩们一样好，如果不是更好的话)”以及第四段“I soon learned how to handle the two most frightening installations in the kitchen: the dishwasher and the chef, Gordon.(我很快就学会了如何处理厨房里最可怕的两个设备：洗碗机和厨师戈登)”可知，尽管遇到了一些困难，她还是设法做得更好。故选A项。 B 【来源】上海市实验学校2024-2025学年高三上学期十月月考英语试题 B B C SHOP Entertaining.

They’ve shared the information following the government’s commitment to root out its net contribution to climate change by 2050. Clara Goldsmith, capaigns director from the Climate Coalition, said: “We know that climate change is already having immense impacts, both in the UK and elsewhere in the world, as we see an increase in extreme weather events — from the 2018 heatwaves to wildfires in the Arctic Circle. But it’s also having an impact on many things that might surprise us as climate change permeates so many aspects of our lives.” The good old pint is not exempt from the impacts of it. Besides water shortages, brewers are growing increasingly concerned about the second key ingredient — barley. Droughts in the UK significantly damage barley crops, along with other grains. The production and quality of hopes are similarly threatened by increasing temperatures. Allergies are expected to worsen. Pollen is produced at a higher rate when plants are exposed to warmer temperatures and higher levels of CO2, two hallmarks of our changing climate. Also, higher temperatures may lengthen the period in which plants produce pollen. It may be a national staple, but tea production is due to be drastically influenced by climate change, with key regions set to experience significant reductions in production, predicting the declining quality of our favorite beverage. In a warming climate food will expire faster as the bacteria responsible for making your food go moldy multiplies faster in higher temperatures. This will add to the 7 million tons of food thrown out by UK households every year. Around 1 in 4 adults in the UK will experience a mental health illness in their lifetime, and it is likely climate change will contribute. Climate change exposes communities to extreme weather events, including severe flooding and heatwaves, which can leave individuals vulnerable to mental health illnesses. Several studies have found a relationship between increased temperatures and fatal car accidents, with hot weather making drivers fatigued. As heatwaves are expected to increase in frequency and severity in the UK, car crashes may, unfortunately, become more frequent. Extreme weather events are set to become more frequent due to climate change. To make matters worse, the aftermath of such events is plagued by difficulties claiming home insurance. In the US, thousands lost coverage after extreme weather, while closer to home, insurance premiums have already increased by 7.6%. 8．What do we know about the Climate Coalition? A．It reveals climate change has had a big impact on people’s life in every regard. B．It is a campaign against the human behaviors that may contribute to the climate change. C．It details the UK government’s commitment to get rid of climate change by 2050. D．Several extreme weather events are given to show how immensely climate change can impact human. 9．What does the underlined “it” refer to in paragraph 2? A．a rise in extreme weather events B．climate change C．permeation of climate change D．water shortages 10．How many aspects that are affected by the rising temperature are mentioned? A．three B．five C．seven D．eight 11．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A．An increase in pollen brought by climate change may be the main reason for future allergies.

But it’s also having an impact on many things that might surprise us as climate change permeates so many aspects of our lives.”(气候联盟的运动主管克拉拉·戈德史密斯说：“我们知道气候变化已经在英国和世界其他地方产生了巨大的影响，因为我们看到极端天气事件的增加——从2018年的热浪到北极圈的野火。但随着气候变化渗透到我们生活的方方面面，它也对许多可能让我们感到惊讶的事情产生了影响。”)”可知，气候联盟揭示了气候变化在各个方面对人们生活的巨大影响。故选A。 9．词句猜测题。根据第二段“We know that climate change is already having immense impacts, both in the UK and elsewhere in the world, as we see an increase in extreme weather events — from the 2018 heatwaves to wildfires in the Arctic Circle.(我们知道气候变化已经在英国和世界其他地方产生了巨大的影响，因为我们看到极端天气事件的增加——从2018年的热浪到北极圈的野火)”以及后文“also having an impact on many things that might surprise us as climate change permeates so many aspects of our lives.(也对许多事情产生了影响，这可能会让我们感到惊讶，因为气候变化渗透到我们生活的方方面面)”可知，气候变化不仅造成了极端天气，还对其他许多事情产生了影响。故it指的是“气候变化”。故选B。 10．细节理解题。根据第三段到最后一段“The good old pint is not exempt from the impacts of it.(老啤酒也不能幸免于它的影响)”；“Allergies are expected to worsen.(过敏预计会恶化)”；“It may be a national staple, but tea production is due to be drastically influenced by climate change, with key regions set to experience significant reductions in production, predicting the declining quality of our favorite beverage.(它可能是一种全国性的主食，但茶叶的生产将受到气候变化的极大影响，关键地区的产量将大幅减少，这预示着我们最喜欢的饮料的质量将下降)”；“In a warming climate food will expire faster as the bacteria responsible for making your food go moldy multiplies faster in higher temperatures.(在气候变暖的情况下，食物会更快地过期，因为导致食物发霉的细菌在高温下繁殖得更快)”；“Around 1 in 4 adults in the UK will experience a mental health illness in their lifetime, and it is likely climate change will contribute.(在英国，大约四分之一的成年人在他们的一生中会经历一种心理健康疾病，而气候变化很可能是其中的原因)”；“Several studies have found a relationship between increased temperatures and fatal car accidents, with hot weather making drivers fatigued.(几项研究发现气温升高与致命车祸之间存在联系，炎热的天气会使司机疲劳)”；“Extreme weather events are set to become more frequent due to climate change.(由于气候变化，极端天气事件将变得更加频繁)”可知，提到了受气温上升影响的7个方面。故选C。 11．细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“In a warming climate food will expire faster as the bacteria responsible for making your food go moldy multiplies faster in higher temperatures. This will add to the 7 million tons of food thrown out by UK households every year.(在气候变暖的情况下，食物会更快地过期，因为导致食物发霉的细菌在高温下繁殖得更快。这将使英国家庭每年扔掉的食物增加700万吨)”可知，较高的温度可能会加剧食物浪费的现象。故选B。 Section B Directions: Read the following passage.

The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly. 12 . Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. 13 . The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works. Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they can do with money. 14 . They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save and maybe even invest it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. 15 . A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest. Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up. A．Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. B．They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. C．It is a good virtue for children to form a habit to learn how to save money. D．The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. E．Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. F．Parents are supposed to tell their children how they should spend their pocket money wisely but the refused to do so. 【答案】12．D 13．E 14．B 15．A 【来源】上海市复旦大学附属中学青浦分校2023-2024学年高三下学期3月质量检测英语试题 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕“父母给孩子零花钱”这一主题展开，讨论了零花钱的目的、给予的时机、孩子如何使用零花钱以及通过储蓄账户学习投资等方面。 12．根据下文内容“Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance. (时间是另一个考虑因素。有些孩子每周得到零用钱。其他人每月领取零用钱。)”中的“another”可推测，空处指的是家长在给孩子零用钱的时候需要考虑的因素。选项D“The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family.(父母给孩子多少钱让他们随心所欲地花，每个家庭都不一样。)”指的是父母给多少钱孩子各不相同。与下文内容一致，指的是在给零用钱的时候，给多少以及什么时候给，每个家庭各不相同。故选D。 13．根据空前内容“At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget.(首先，年幼的孩子可能在收到零用钱后不久就花光了。如果他们这样做了，他们就会明白花钱必须在预算之内)”可知，年幼的孩子收到零用钱后不久就花光了。选项E“Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.(父母通常被建议在下次零用钱之前不要给更多的钱)”建议家长在下次给零用钱前不要给孩子更多的钱。同时自然引出空后的“The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.(目的是告诉年轻人预算需要在消费和储蓄之间做出选择。)”指出这样做的目的。故选E。 14．根据空前“Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they can do with money.(零花钱让孩子们有机会体验用钱可以做的事情)”可知，零用钱可以让孩子们有机会体验用钱可以做的事情。选项B“They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause(他们可以以礼物或捐赠的形式分享这些钱)”指的是孩子们可以如何用这笔钱，与下文“They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save and maybe even invest it.(他们可以花钱买他们想要的东西。或者他们可以储蓄，甚至投资)”保持一致，都是对第一句的具体说明。故选B。 15．根据空前内容“Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing.(要求孩子们存一部分零用钱也可以为未来的储蓄和投资打开大门)”可知，作者建议孩子们存一部分零用钱。选项A“Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance.(许多银行提供帮助儿童和青少年学习个人理财的服务)”是上文内容的自然延续，指出很多银行都会提供青少年学习理财的服务。故选A。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
