B Rancho Los Cerritos, a historic site and museum in Long Beach, illustrates the local history of Spanish, Mexican, and European cultures. In 2022, a special project, an advanced stormwater recycling system, was started there. This system collects, stores and reuses rainwater on site, helping to save water and showing how to deal with droughts and changing weather patterns. The project also includes a public education program called “Looking Back to Advance Forward.” It’s a mix of new technology and nature-based solutions that the Tongva people, native to the area, developed over 5,000 years ago. With this innovative hybrid system, the Rancho will collect and reuse almost 100% of the rainwater, reducing water use and keeping pollutants out of the wetlands, the Los Angeles River, and the ocean. Why is this stormwater management system a big deal? It’s the first of its kind in the U.S. at a historic site like this. It uses special bricks that let water pass through. These bricks are at the top of the site and the water flows down into an underground tank that holds 22,000 gallons. The water in the tank is then filtered (过滤) and treated before being used to water the historic gardens. The site is on a hill, which allows people to use gravity to channel rainwater into a natural dry streambed at the lowest point of the property. The water in the dry stream is treated using biofiltration, which means using plants to help keep the water clean and balanced. Simply speaking, Rancho Los Cerritos’ stormwater system is like a big, smart sponge (海绵) that absorbs rainwater, cleans it, and then uses it to keep the gardens green. It’s away of respecting the past and the environment while preparing for the future. 4. Why did Rancho Los Cerrito start a special project? A. To tackle the dry weather. B. To create a tourist attraction. C. To illustrate the local history. D. To reduce the annual rainfall. 5 What can we learn about the stormwater system from Para.2&3? A. It can collect and reuse all the rainfall. B. It was developed over 5,000 years ago. C. It’s the first to be used in a U.S. historic site. D. It’s the largest system built in American history. 6. How does the stormwater system work? A. It pumps water from a river. B. It treats water with chemicals. C. Special bricks allow water to flow through. D. Water flows directly to the historic gardens. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. The history of Rancho Los Cerritos. B. A water protection project in California. C. An innovative stormwater system at a historic site. D. A traditional stormwater recycle system in Rancho. C The concept of a day, defined by Earth’s rotation (自转), has been the basis for timekeeping since ancient times. However, the speed of Earth’s rotation is not always the same. It slows down due to the drag of tides, leading to the addition of “leap seconds” (闰 秒) to atomic time (原子时间) to maintain synchronization, keeping atomic time matching the Earth’s rotation. In this way, our clocks match how long it takes for the Earth to make one full turn. Since 1972, we have added leap seconds 27 times. Yet, recent changes in Earth’s rotation have brought about a debate on whether we should continue this practice. In the past, Earth’s rotation was slowing, but since the 1990s, it has been speeding up, potentially requiring the removal of a leap second. This complete change has led to questions about the necessity of leap seconds, as they cause interruptions in computer and telecom operations. For instance, the addition of a leap second in 2012 caused Reddit to crash and some airline companies to experience flight delays. The debate raises the question: does it matter if there’s a noticeable difference between Earth’s rotational day and atomic time? In a digitized world, the exact length of the day might seem less important. However, some argue that maintaining the traditional day is important for various reasons, including scientific and cultural significance. The decision to continue or abandon leap seconds is complex. Some propose waiting a century before making a significant adjustment. But others suggest stopping leap-second adjustments by 2035, as voted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 2022. This would mean less frequent adjustments, allowing for better preparation. Ultimately, the decision on leap seconds reflects our relationship with time and the importance we place on consistency. As physicist Elizabeth says, “Time is the most important unit in the international system of units; a lot of other standards depend on it.” Whether we choose to keep leap seconds or adopt a new system, the goal is to ensure the reliability and stability of timekeeping in our increasingly interconnected world. 8. What is the most likely meaning of “synchronization” in Para.1? A. Separating from others. B. Keeping the same pace. C. Predicting time patterns. D. Making something confusing. 9. Why are Reddit and some airline companies mentioned in Para.2? A. They were trapped in computer interruptions. B. They prove the big change on Earth’s rotation. C. They suffered great damages from flight delays. D. They are examples of the impact by a leap second. 10. What is the purpose of adjusting leap seconds? A. To slow down Earth’s rotation. B. To prevent great chaos in the world. C To protect other standards relying on time. D. To keep time measuring dependable and consistent. 11. What may be the author’s opinion on adjusting leap seconds? A. Favourable. B. Neutral. C. Subjective. D. Indifferent. D Extraverts(外向型的人) are hugely sociable—they really care about their relationships, and possess outstanding social skills. Well, that’s how extraverts are generally described. But, according to new work, that’s not exactly how other people see them. In a series of studies reported in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, Francis J. Flynn at Stanford University, US and colleagues consistently found that more extraverted people are considered to be poorer listeners. Their research also reveals a likely reason why. There is no academic agreement on what constitutes “good” listening. But, in line with some other researchers, the team conceptualises it as involving emotion-related processes, cognitive processes and also behavioural processes. In everyday life, it’s not necessarily easy to ascertain whether the person we’re talking to is really listening, however. They might be making plenty of eye contact, for example, but it’s always possible that they’re just pretending to be listening well. In this research, the team focused on only the participants’ perceptions of others’ listening skills. In an earlier study, 147 first-year business students, who met weekly in groups of six to work on leadership skills, rated the listening skills of everyone else in their group. The participants then completed a scale that assessed their own extraversion. The team found that those with higher self-reported extraversion got poorer marks for listening. However, in this study, people’s perceptions could have been influenced by the actual social relationships they had with other members of their group. So in almost all of the subsequent studies, fresh groups of participants rated the listening skills of fictional people who were described as falling at various points on the intraversion-extraversion spectrum (范围). Results from these studies supported the previous finding. Time and again, extraverted people were rated as being poorer listeners in social situations. As the team writes: “That is, despite the tendency for people to see extraverts as highly sociable, they tend to see this sociability as highly one-sided.” An online study of 337 US-based adults suggested why this might be. Fictional people who were described as highly extraverted were also perceived to be better at controlling and modifying how they come across to others. “To observers, this signal of malleable self-presentation suggests that extraverts are more interested in ‘looking the part’ than attending to what others have to say,” the team writes. It would be really interesting, though, to see work on the real-world implications of this particular belief. “For example, listening has been identified as the key to successful sales,” the team notes—so perhaps it would be wise for highly extraverted sales people to try to modify their behaviour with clients. A vast amount of research has been done on extraversion itself. “Our findings contribute to the study of extraversion by examining how people think about extraversion,” the researchers write. And for understanding conversations and relationships, which of course are two-way, that’s clearly important, too. 12. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Some reasons for poor listening ability. B. The participants’ perception of listening. C. A common understanding of good listening. D. Some practical skills in improving listening. 13. What can we learn from the passage? A. Being extraverted might be an unpleasant personality. B. Some people are afraid to assess their group members. C. Fictional people decrease the reliability of the research. D. Actual social relationship determines the scores of rating. 14. What does the underlined word “malleable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Smart. B. Flexible. C. Consistent. D. Stable. 15. What message does the author probably convey to extroverted people? A. It is wise to listen more when communicating. B. Focusing on people’s eyes makes a good speaker. C. Rating oneself honestly helps one in social situations. D. It is necessary to change one’s self-presentation style. 二、阅读七选五: 本大题共5小题, 共12.5分。 Third-Culture Kids Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid! The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. ___16___About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals. ___17___ In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. ___18___ While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships. For a third-culture kid it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. ___19___ She did not share the same values as her friends’ even years after going back home. While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”.___20___ As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places. A. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy. B. In general, they often reach excellent academic results. C. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity. D. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle. E. Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences. F. Unlike other teens of her age, she didn’t know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends. G. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid. 三、完形填空: 本大题共15小题, 共15分。 Scuba diving (戴水肺游水) is certainly a life-changing recreational activity, Inaki, a professional diver, was offering lessons to other divers.

My fifteen­year­old leaned against the kitchen counter with his arms folded across his chest, not screaming, but glaring at me as I pulled his little brother off my legs. “Are you mad at me too?” “You spend all your time taking care of other people’s kids, but what about us?” Dylan left angrily. I was shocked and a little hurt. How could my own child not understand that the work I was doing was saving lives? Then the answer hit me. He didn’t know, because he had never seen what Healing the Children actually did. Dylan had heard the stories of sick children, but had never once looked into the eyes of a child and understood the hard truth—that without our help, the children would likely die. “Get dressed. You are going with me,” I said. I spent the drive explaining the case of Hector to my son, who pretended to ignore me the entire time. “He’s seven, only weighs thirty pounds and is very sick. He has a heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot, which could kill him. It is a miracle (奇迹) that he is still alive.” I went on to explain that it took a team of volunteer medical staff to get Hector to the hospital from his remote village and care for him while he was there. Still, Dylan seemed unimpressed. We stopped at a convenience store for water and snacks. Dylan had one large and one small Slurpee (思乐冰饮料). He said the small one was for Hector. I doubted whether the little guy would be able to drink it, but remained silent. This was the first interest Dylan had shown in being there. I wasn’t about to ruin it. I stopped at the nurses’ station to check on Hector’s progress while Dylan went to his room. Our patient was recovering physically, but the nurse was concerned that Hector was struggling emotionally. She said, “Kids usually bounce back fast, but he hardly speaks and never smiles.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Imagine my surprise when I heard laughter from Hector’s room ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the way home that night, Dylan asked me several times whether Hector would be okay. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-20 CBBCA ABBAC ABCCB BCCAA 东北育才超常部35届高三下六模 英语学科试卷 考试时间120分钟 满分150分 卷一 听力 1.

The event started with a lecture by a guest speaker on how technology impacts our social lives, from communication apps to virtual reality devices. We then discussed the pros and cons of social media, the significance of face-to-face interactions, and how technology can help us connect better. A highlight was the hands-on session where we experienced what it’s like to interact in a fully digital world. In conclusion, the salon was a resounding success, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for the role of technology in our lives. Let’s continue this dialogue and apply what we’ve learned to enrich our daily interactions. 【47题答案】 【答案】Para. 1: Imagine my surprise when I heard laughter from Hector’s room. I entered and found Dylan sitting on the edge of Hector’s bed wiping pieces of frozen drink from Hector’s mouth. Both boys were giggling and Hector was apparently enjoying the company. I spent the rest of the day speaking to doctors and watching my son playing with the special little boy. It was truly amazing to watch them interact, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Perhaps to the two of them it was. Para. 2: On the way home that night, Dylan asked me several times whether Hector would be okay. I told him this boy would get well but he had a hard road ahead of him. My son seemed to be lost in thought for a while. Then he declared his decision to join Healing the Children as a volunteer to help Hector and other children. I never thought that a moody teenager would take up the voluntary work and never again complain about his mother’s crazy work schedule. 听力1-20 CBBCA ABBAC ABCCB BCCAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
