She sees herself simply as an individual taking action in defense of something she loves that’s in need of protection. Despite her youth, the 24-year-old is an undersea veteran (老手). She grew up sailing around the Great Barrier Reef on her parents’ boat and spent her early life free diving while patiently waiting for the day when she could get her scuba diving (水肺潜水) certification, aged 12. Already impressed by sharks, Madison was now pleased to be able to observe them in their own world. “I got to know the sharks…I could recognize them by sight,” Madison says. “Other people had dogs around them growing up. I had sharks.” But within a couple of years, she saw a great reduction in shark numbers on the reef. “One day I went in the water and couldn’t find my sharks anywhere, sharks I’d spent my childhood with,” she says. “They’d been caught and killed.” It was a critical moment for Madison. She left school at 14 to be homeschooled so she could spend more time in the ocean. She taught herself to shoot underwater video to document sharks in their own world and share her sense of wonder with others. She launched an online channel and built huge following for her documentaries where she focuses on issues like inadequate protection for some shark species and the global shark fin (鳍) industry. In 2014, Madison was the subject of the encouraging documentary Shark Girl, which introduced her to a global audience. In 2017, she appeared as an “Ocean Guardian” in the documentary Blue that explored a lot of threats to the world’s marine environments, including the damaging effect of the global shark fishery. The film that encourages viewers to get involved and the individual to make a difference by their own direct action would never be underestimated. 4. What did Madison do before getting her scuba diving certification? A. She went boating alone. B. She practised free diving. C. She went sailing around Australia. D. She protected the Great Barrier Reef. 5. Why did Madison shoot underwater video to document sharks? A To record sharks’ world of wonder. B. To popularize her photography works. C. To raise awareness of shark conservation. D. To spare more time to accompany sharks. 6. Which of the following may agree with Madison’s philosophy? A. Great minds think alike. B. Action speaks louder than words. C. Together we can make a difference. D. Personal influence can’t be ignored. 7. What’s the purpose of writing this passage? A. To introduce an influential conservationist. B. To advertise some encouraging documentaries. C. To inspire people to protect whatever they love. D. To inform people how to preserve marine wildlife. C Doctors at the University of California, San Francisco, in the US, have developed a piece of software that can read minds. The project, supported by Facebook, hopes to help people who, because of medical conditions, are unable to communicate with others. Until now, technologies that have helped speech-impaired (语言障碍) people communicate have been too slow to allow a natural conversation. People find these things upsetting to use. This new way uses brain signals to change a person’s thoughts into text. When we want to speak, the brain sends signals to make the lips, jaw and tongue move in the right way to make an understandable sound. By discovering these brain signals, the new software is able to predict what a person want to say quickly enough to hold a conversation. The brain-reading software was tested on three volunteers who could all speak like healthy people. They were being treated for epilepsy (癫痫). As part of their treatment for epilepsy, each patient had electrodes(电极) placed on to their brain. Edward Chang, whole d the study, used these electrodes to record the signals in the patients’ brains while they listened to a list of questions and answered them. Chang and his team then built a computer program that learned to match the patients’ brain signals to the words the patients heard and the words the patients spoke. For the questions, the software matched the correct words 76%of the time. For the answers, it matched the correct words 61%of the time. Now, the mind-reading software works only for the limited set of sentences on which it was trained. Scientists hope that this early system will help them develop a more powerful one that could understand thoughts in real time to give people their voices back. Chang said, “We as scientists should try our best to help people to bring that most important and basic human ability back.” 8. What is the disadvantage of previous technologies? A. They couldn’t read people’s minds correctly. B. They couldn’t make communication understandable. C. They couldn’t serve the purpose of natural conversation. D. They couldn’t let medical conditions change for the better. 9. How does the software help people? A. By changing people’s mind into text. B. By sending signals to their lips. C. By organizing conversations for them. D. By training them how to speak. 10. What can we know about the mind-reading software according to the last paragraph? A. It has been used on a wide scale. B. It has restored the basic human ability. C. It still has plenty of room for improvement. D. It has enhanced human real-time conversation. 11. What is the attitude of the author towards the mind-reading software? A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Intolerant. D. Doubtful. D Everyone knows what makes a good story. Our hero starts their journey as a flawed being. In scene after scene, they face challenges that push them down new paths. By the end of the talc, they overcome setbacks and become a better person in the process. We love these plots in the novels we read but the principles of a good story offer much more than entertainment. Recent research shows that the narratives we tell ourselves about our lives can powerfully help us recover from stress. People who generate tales of struggling and turning over a new leaf from their own lives appear to have much better mental health. Professor Dan McAdams put forward this idea and discovered that whether someone can describe having had some control over events in their past is an important predictor of mental health. Another key theme involved is finding some kind of positive meaning after stressful events. McAdams invited 14 and 15-year-olds to join in an experiment to write about their experiences of failure and success. Half of them were then given extra instructions to describe the ways they had made their success a reality and how the failure had changed them for the better. Eight weeks later, members of this group reported greater persistence and better grades in their schoolwork. Exciting as these results are, some experts sound a few notes of caution. They worry that, hearing about the power of self-narratives, many people may feel they have to find a positive turning point in life. If they can’t, they could end up feeling guilty about having somehow “failed”. Clearly, self-narratives aren’t the panacea. Nevertheless, if you hope for self-improvement, you can use the findings to good effect. By recognizing ourselves as the hero at the center of our own struggles, we can all become the author of our own destiny and change ourselves for the better. 12. What does the research focus on? A. The causes of stress. B. The principles of narrative. C. The connection between struggle and well-being. D. The link between mental health and self-narratives. 13. Why is the experiment mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To give proof. B. To make predictions. C. To draw a conclusion. D. To make comparisons. 14. What does the underlined word “panacea” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Attempt to get rid of worries. B. Means of recognizing yourself. C. Solution to adolescent problems. D. Guarantee to become better people. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Embrace Life Struggles B. Be Your Own Hero C. Ways to Make a Good Story D.

There is something comforting to me in black-caps’ presence. ____16____ Sometimes they are the only birds I’ll hear on my local woodland walks and for me the forest would be a lonelier place without them. After I’d moved into a house on Anchorage’s Hillside, I placed a makeshift feeder on my home’s back. ____17____ For each, the routine was similar: dashed in, looked around, pecked (啄) at the tray, looked around again, and dashed out.

Even the autumn leaves that covered the sidewalk. A butterfly landed on a branch above her, and Amy suddenly stopped. She held her breath and smiled, watching as it opened and closed its perfectly symmetrical wings. All that month, Amy’s class had been studying different forms of symmetry, and Amy was deeply attracted. They’d observed the mirror symmetry of violins and the rotational symmetry of starfish. They’d even studied symmetry using a microscope and recorded the beauty with a phone camera. Now Mr. Garcia, their science teacher, had given them their final assignment: to find the most beautiful example of symmetry and give a report to the class on it. “The most beautiful example of symmetry. What on earth could that be?” Amy asked herself. She finally decided to use her microscope to find one. Amy spent hours in the garden on the examination of cells, pieces of rock, and drops of pond water. Although she was amazed by what she saw, none was truly beautiful. “What are you bringing to class?” Amy asked her friend Cathy on the bus ride to school. “A model airplane,” replied Cathy proudly. “And my brother Mathew is bringing his guitar.” Those things are nice, thought Amy, but there must be something more beautiful. That evening, she stayed with her microscope until her father called out, “Get inside, Amy. It’s freezing outside. The weather forecast says it’s going to snow.” Amy’s heart sank. There would be fewer things to study under the microscope. Snow would cover the area like a blanket, hiding everything from sight. Her assignment was due in just a few days. Amy began to feel panic as she was packing up her microscope. Then she caught sight of something white blown onto the stage of her microscope. Yes! The snowflake (雪花)! She looked through the microscope and was amazed by its beauty. 注意： 1．续写词数应为 150 左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “I have to show it to my class,” Amy cried excitedly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, it was the day to report. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 绝密★启用前 试卷类型: A 2023年广州市普通高中毕业班冲刺训练题（三） 英语 本试卷共10页, 满分120分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项: 1. 答卷前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、试室号和座位号填写在答题卡上。用 2B铅笔将试卷类型（A）填涂在答题卡相应位置上。并在答题卡相应位置上填涂考生号。因笔试不考听力, 试卷从第二部分开始, 试题序号从“21”开始。 2. 作答选择题时, 选出每小题答案后, 用2B铅笔把答题卡对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑; 如需改动, 用橡皮擦干净后, 再选涂其他答案。答案不能答在试卷上。 3. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答, 答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上; 如需改动, 先划掉原来的答案, 然后再写上新答案; 不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答无效。 4. 考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后, 将试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第二部分 阅读（共两节, 满分 50分） 第一节（共15小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

Thank you for your attendance, and I wish you all a meaningful and enjoyable experience 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】 “I have to show it to my class,” Amy cried excitedly. She looked through the microscope again to take a closer look and was surprised to find that there was nothing there! The snowflake had disappeared taking all of its beauty with it. “No! Wait!” cried Amy. She had to take the snowflake to class, but how? It could melt before she got on the school bus! Suddenly, Amy had an idea—she ran to her house and picked up her camera. Within minutes, she had managed to attach it to the microscope. She carefully placed another snowflake on the microscope’s stage and took a series of pictures. Finally, it was the day to report. Amy took the photos to the class, which surprised the classmates and the science teacher. Each snowflake was different, symmetrical, and unbelievably beautiful. They were excited to see the most beautiful example of symmetry. The teacher praised Amy for her careful observation, which made Amy happy and proud. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
