When she told McNee how hard it could be to get students excited about math, her favourite discipline, he made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?” The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the now colleagues — who had launched a tutoring non-profit — were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School. When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage — which, in turn, taught them about fractions and decimal (分数和小数) points. At the end of the game, the winning team was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” says Mandekic. “I realized we might be onto something.” The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other schools. “I was terrible at math,” says Douglas, who enrolled in a fast-track summer program. “But once I started BallMatics and realized the sport I loved was directly tied to math, it made me a lot better at it. Every time I played basketball, I was thinking about math.” Almost any math problem, McNee and Mandekic realized, can be taught on the court. Kids can learn how to navigate an X-Y grid to find their next shooting spot or absorb the basic principles of trigonometry based on the angle at which they release the ball. In 2019, McNee and Mandekic established a private high school called Uchenna Academy. At the school, kids with top basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics afterschool programs. Douglas, now 20 and earning a degree in education believes the school’s commitment to academics is the key reason it’s been a winner. “If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game,” he says, adding that coaches would bench kids who didn’t keep up in class. “At Uchenna, we were student athletes, not athlete students.” 36. The first two paragraphs are intended to tell the readers ________. A. the origin of BallMatics B. the challenges facing BallMatics C. the start of a lifelong friendship D. the dedication of the young teachers 37. What made Mandekic and McNee realize that they “might be onto something”? A. The students’ progress in their mathematic skills. B. The students’ changed attitude towards math. C. The data collected about the students’ goal percentage. D. The efficiency in determining the winning team. 38. What will happen to the kids who don’t do well in class according to Douglas? A. They will be forbidden to leave any training session. B. They will be obliged to earn a training degree first. C. They will have to attend classes at a private school. D. They will be banned from playing in the game. 39. The best title for the article is ________. A. The Basics of Math B. The Road to Success C. A Sports Principle D. A Numbers Game (B) 40. Which step describes how glass waste becomes rounded and smoothed? A. Step 2. B. Step 3. C. Step 4. D. Step 6. 41. What happens to thrown-away glassware that does not enter the recycling process? A.

A group of students are researching the history of the Fort Bragg Glass Beach. They have arranged the major events in time order. Which of the following best reflects this order? ① It became a deserted place. ② It was declared a protected zone. ③ It was covered with only glass. ④ It served as a glass jewelry workshop. ⑤ It was used as a natural dump site. A. ⑤②①④ B. ①⑤③④ C. ⑤①③② D. ①②⑤③ （C） Neurodiversity is a term that refers to the natural range of differences in people’s brains. The neurodiversity movement says that the brains that wander from the average within that range shouldn’t be dismissed as insufficient automatically. The term dates back to the autism（自闭症）community in the 1990s, though it’s now applied to all sorts of mental differences. In the past, “autism was widely seen as an individual medical tragedy,” says Robert Chapman, a neurodivergent（脑功能异于常人的）philosopher with autism, “The only hope for autistic people and our families, it was thought, was that we would one day be fixed through behavioral or biomedical intervention.” Neurodiversity challenges that notion. Rather than assuming, for instance, that an autistic person’s struggles to find a job are the result of some internal shortcoming, neurodiversity research considers the existence of external explanations. The barriers to autistic employment emerge from the environment, not only the individual. Studies from 2022 and 2023 have shown that many autistic people are prosocial and skilled at seeing others’ perspectives, while neurodiversity advocates stress it takes two to communicate. Though autistic people may struggle to understand a neurotypical perspective, neurotypical people may struggle to understand an autistic perspective, making it a “double empathy（共情）problem”. This thread of research is already having an impact, helping autism interventions like the “social stories” technique take off. This intervention, which introduces autistic children to common social situations, works by facilitating communication between neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals, with a focus on supporting children, rather than “fixing” them. The technique is consistent with what autistic individuals advocate for themselves. An assessment of the funding of recent autism research revealed the majority was directed toward the biological causes of autism, while the minority was directed toward services, support and education. However, members of the autistic community felt the funding failed to reflect their priorities and wouldn’t have any effect on everyday lives. Crucially, the neurodiversity movement allows neurodivergent people to transform their thinking about themselves. “The dominant medicalized narrative suggested that being autistic made me somehow tragic, broken, and in need of fixing” Chapman writes in his 2023 book. “This was why I found discovering neurodiversity movement, which offered a different analysis, so liberating.” 43. According to neurodiversity movement, the main cause of autistic people’s struggle to function in society is _________. A. an imbalance between research funding and public awareness B. a mismatch between their abilities and their surroundings C. the internal shortcomings autistic people are born with D. the barriers from behavioral or biomedical interventions 44. Which of the following statements about the “social stories” technique is TRUE? A. It is aimed at fixing the autistic children’s behavioral problems. B. It focuses on teaching neurotypical individuals about autistic people. C. It is based on the theory that neurodivergent people can be prosocial. D. It works by putting neurodivergent people into common social situations. 45. What can be inferred about Robert Chapman? A. He believes being autistic is a life-long tragedy. B. He has been fixed through bio-medical intervention. C. He is bothered by the negative narrative surrounding autism. D. He thinks autistic people can be liberated from the movement. 46. The main purpose of the article is to ________. A. introduce the effective treatment methods for autism B. explain the history and significance of the neurodiversity movement C. argue for the necessity of promoting the neurodiversity movement D. criticize the wrong focus of research in understanding autism Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. 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. A. A previous study found that children between the ages of four and six years old were more likely to eat broccoli if they’d seen video clips of adults enjoying it. B. However, a positive facial expression didn’t make them like broccoli more. C. In fact, the impact of observing others eat extends beyond simply dining manners. D. This is known as social modelling, and it is a strong influence on people’s eating habits. E. A new study has found that other people’s likes and dislikes could play a part. F. This phenomenon, often referred to as social influence, highlights how our eating behaviors are not shaped by the behaviors of those we dine with. Disliking Vegetables Can Rub off on Others Scientists have long been interested in why some people like vegetables and why others don’t, when eating greens is good for you. (47) _____________________ Apparently, watching someone eating vegetables and visibly disliking them could put you off them a bit too. A research team set about investigating how the facial expressions that people make as they eat affect a person watching them. They asked more than 200 women to watch videos of other adults eating raw broccoli. The people in the videos would have different expressions while eating. They would smile, look neutral or look sickened by what they were tasting. The study found that watching people react with strong dislike to the broccoli reduced how much the women liked it. (48) _____________________ Humans learn which behaviours will benefit them, including eating, by watching the reactions of others. (49) ___________________ Scientists think that people might avoid food that appears sickening because it could help to protect them from eating something that tastes bad or could be dangerous. Although the research only focused on adults, experts think the results could also apply to children. This means that if children saw their parents, brothers or sisters not enjoying certain foods, including vegetables, they might not want to eat them either. (50) _____________________ Understanding more about how adults’ behaviour influences children’s enjoyment of food could help to find ways to encourage young people to eat more of the foods that are good for them. III. Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Smart Paint to Heat or Cool Scientists in the US have developed a special paint that offers a simple and colorful way to prevent houses from overheating. Normally, the exterior of a house absorbs heat from the sun, which raises the indoor temperature. The new paint, however, is engineered to reflect the sun’s heat off the outside of the house, which means the interior doesn’t heat up as much in the first place. There are other types of reflective paint, but the new one is the first to focus on mid-infrared light, which is a type of light that the human eye cannot see but that people feel as warmth. The special paint works by reflecting up to 80% of the sun’s mid-infrared light. That’s 10 times more than regular paint. The base layer of the paint contains metal flakes that function like a mirror to reflect mid-infrared light. The top layer contains color particles, which make the paint blue, green, orange, purple, red, or yellow. The paint is waterproof and works well in different weather conditions. Nearly 90% of all US households use air-conditioning, which requires a lot of electricity. In fact, cooling residences accounts for 6% of all electricity use in the US and costs Americans about $29 billion a year. Preventing homes from heating up as much will reduce the need for air-conditioning to pump cool air into the building. In addition to cooling a house in hot summer months, the paint can also keep a home warm in the winter. When it is used on the walls indoors, it reflects the mid-infrared light back into the room, keeping the warmth in. According to the paint’s creators, using it can reduce the amount of energy it takes to cool a house by nearly 21%. In cold conditions, it can cut the energy needed to warm a room by 36%. All is good news not only for people who care about the environment but also for those worrying about their electricity or heating bills. IV.

The results show that only 40% have a clear career plan, 30% have received career guidance, and merely 20% have participated in off-campus career experience activities. Several reasons account for this. First, students focus more on academic performance, neglecting career exploration. Second, schools provide insufficient career guidance, with few systematic programs. Third, off-campus activities are limited due to tight study schedules. To improve the situation, schools should offer regular career lectures and workshops. They can also cooperate with enterprises to organize more experience activities. Additionally, students should balance studies and career exploration, taking initiative to learn about different professions. Sample 2 Recently, a research - based learning project surveyed senior three students at Mingqi Middle School regarding their career planning cognition and preparation. Among the surveyed students, 40%... ，30%... and 20%... The relatively low percentage (30%) of students who have received career planning guidance may result from the limited career guidance resources in our school, as well as the lack of emphasis on this aspect in the senior three curriculum. To address the issue of limited career guidance, our school should add regular career planning courses and invite professionals from various fields to share their experiences, which can help students gain more insights into different careers. 【解析】 1. 描述数据：简明呈现表格中 “有明确规划”“接受指导”“参与体验活动” 的比例。 2. 分析原因：从学生（重学业轻规划）、学校（指导不足）、客观条件（时间紧张）三方面展开。 3. 提出建议：针对原因给出具体措施（学校加强指导、企业合作、学生主动探索），逻辑清晰，符合字数要求。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 杨浦区2024学年度第一学期高三模拟质量调研 高三年级英语学科试卷 I.

Q: Why doesn’t the man think they should attend the trade fair? (A) 3. M: You just paid off the bill for the repairs to the car. That should teach you a lesson. W: It has. It was such a bother to park in the garage, and I never thought anything would happen to the car on the street. Q: What will the woman probably give up doing? (C) 4. W: Hey, Gerald.

The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. Imagine a satellite made of wood rather than metal. This innovative concept is about to become a reality, with scientists aiming to launch the world’s first wooden satellite later this summer. The LignoSat satellite has been built of magnolia wood. In experiments carried out on the International Space Station (ISS), the satellite was found to be particularly stable and resistant to cracking. The wooden satellite has been built by researchers at Kyoto University and the logging company called Sumitomo Forestry in order to test whether biodegradable materials such as wood can replace metals to make satellites. The successful launch and demonstration of an eco-friendly satellite would be a significant step toward addressing the increasing problem of space pollution. When traditional satellites re-enter the earth’s atmosphere, they burn, releasing tiny pieces of chemical matter. They would persist in the upper atmosphere for extended periods, damaging the upper layer and causing major environmental problems. However, this should not be a problem with satellites built of wood, like LignoSat. When it burns up as it re-enters the atmosphere after completing its mission, it will produce only a fine mist of biodegradable ash. Questions 11. What problem do the traditional satellites contribute to? (B) 12. Which of the following statements about the LignoSat satellite is true? (D) 13. What is the main purpose of carrying out the experiments? (C) Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. Many view failure negatively, but llana Ben-Ari, founder of Twenty One Toys, wants to change this perspective. She sees failure as a learning experience. The Failure Toy involves five-person teams building structures on an unstable game wheel, competing for points. Falling structures result in point losses. After each 5-minute round, players switch teams. At the end, each player fills out a card saying who they think wins. This might not be the person with the most points. It has more to do with who best supports their team’s success. This leads to discussion about players’ behaviors and emotions, and the consequences of these behaviors and emotions. The Failure Toy follows Ben-Ari’s first product, the Empathy Toy. This toy began as a way to help blind students and those who could see communicate and be responsive to each other. Ben-Ari herself learned about failure in the process of designing the Failure Toy. She had to cancel her initial launch because the toy wasn’t ready. She didn’t want to settle for releasing a product that wasn’t finished. After her third attempt to finish the Failure Toy, Ben-Ari took a break from the project for a year. Then a company called, asking if she could hold a workshop to instruct them on how to use the Failure Toy. Ben-Ari agreed and got to work on the project. This time she and her team had grown, and she met the deadline. Questions 14. What is the main purpose of llana Ben-Ari’s Failure Toy? (C) 15. What happens when the structures fall in The Failure Toy game? (B) 16. Why did Ben-Ari cancel the initial launch of The Failure Toy? (D) Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. W: Hi, Danny. My name is Rebecca. That was a great club meeting. The introduction to the club was very helpful. M: Thanks, Rebecca. We’re happy to have you as a member. Do you have any questions about the club? W: Yeah, I do. When are club meetings held after school? M: Aside from the club time during school, we have additional practice sessions twice a week. Specifically, on odd weeks, we meet on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, while on even weeks, we gather on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. W: I see. That goes perfectly with my schedule. Also, I’m curious about the club’s future activities. Will there be any performances or events that new members will take part in? M: Of course. There’ll be some performing opportunities throughout the semester. The most important event for our club, however, is the big performance at the end of the semester. All the members can show their skills and perform together. W: That sounds amazing! I’ve always wanted to perform on stage, but I have no idea how to play the guitar. M: Don’t worry. Our members are always ready to help each other, and there’ll be meetings where we can practice as a group. W: That’s great to know. I’m very excited to learn. M: That’s the spirit! You can reach out to me if you have any other questions. W: Thanks, Danny! Questions 17. When does the club meet for practice after school in Week Three? (C) 18.

However, this should not be a problem with satellites built of word like lig o SAT. When IT burns up as IT reenters the atmosphere after completing its mission, IT will produce only a fine mist of bd grateful ash. Now listen again. Imagine a satellite made of wood rather than meddle. This innovative concept is about to become a reality, with scientists aiming to launch the world's first wooden satellite later this summer. The legal SAT satellite has been built of magnolia wood. In experiments Carried out on the international space station I, S, S. The satellite was found to be particularly stable and resistant to cracking. The wooden satellite has been built by researchers at kyoto university in the logging company called su momo forestry. In order to test whether biodegradable materials such as wood can replace medals to make satellite the successful launch, a demonstration of an eco friendly satellite would be a significant step toward addressing the increasing problem of space pollution. When traditional satellites reenter the earth's atmosphere, they burn, releasing tiny pieces of chemical matter.

However, this should not be a problem with satellite built of wood like legno SAT. When IT burns up as IT reenters the atmosphere after completing its mission, IT will produce only a fine mist of biodegradable ash. Questions eleven, what problem do the traditional satellite contribute to? Twelve, which of the following statements about the legal at satellite is true? Thirteen, what is the main purpose of Carrying out the experiments? Questions fourteen through sixteen are based on the following passage. Many view failures negatively, but ellora benari found of twenty one toys wants to change the perspective. SHE sees failure as a learning experience. The failure toy involves five personal teams building structures on an unstable game wheel competing for points. Falling structures result in point losses. After each five minute round, players switch teams. At the end, each player fills out a card saying who they think wins. This might not be the person with the most points. IT has more to do with who best supports their team's success. This leads to discussion about player's behaviour and emotions and the consequences of these behaviours and emotions. The failure toy follows ben aris first product, the empathy toy. This toy began as a way to help blind students and those who could see, communicate and be responsive to each other. Benn ari herself learned about failure in the process of designing the failure toy. SHE had to cancel her initial launch because the toy wasn't ready. SHE didn't want to settle for releasing a product that wasn't finished. After her third attempt to finish the failure toy, benari took a break from the project for a year. Then a company called, asking if he could hold a workshop to instruct them how to use the failure toy. Barry agreed and got to work on the project. This time, SHE and her team had grown, and SHE met the deadline. Now listen again, many view failure negatively, but elana benari, founder of twenty one toys, wants to change this perspective. SHE sees failure as a learning experience. The failure toy involves five percent teams, building structures on an unstable game wheel competing for points. Falling structures result in point losses. After each five minute round, players switch teams. At the end, each player fills out a card saying who they think wins. This might not be the person with the most points IT has more to do with who best supports their team's success. This leads to discussion about players behaviours in emotions. In the consequences of these behaviours and emotions, the failure toy follows bin arya first product, the empathy toy.

Then a company called, asking if he could hold a workshop to instruct them on how to use the failure toy. Ben, I agreed and got to work on the project. This time, SHE in her team had grown, and SHE met the deadline . questions fourteen, what is is the main purpose of elana ban aris failure toy? Fifteen, what happens when the structures fall in the failure toy game? Sixteen, why did ben ari cancel the initial launch of the failure toy? Question seventeen, three, twenty are based on the following conversation. Hi, danny. My name is Rebecca. That was a great club meeting. The introduction to the club was very helpful. Thanks, Rebecca. We're happy to have you as a member. Do you have any questions about the club? Yeah, I do win our club meetings held after school. Aside from the club time during school, we have additional practice sessions twice a week. Specifically, on odd weeks, we meet on wednesday and thursday after noon. Well, on even weeks, we gather on monday and tuesday afternoon. I see that goes perfectly with my schedule. Also, i'm curious about the clubs future activities. Will there be any performances or events that new members will take part in? Of course, we'll be some performing opportunities throughout the semester. The most important event for our club, however, is the big performance. At the end of the semester, all the members can show their skills and perform together. That sounds amazing. I've always wanted to perform on stage, but I have no idea how to play the guitar. Don't worry, our members are always ready to help each other, and there will be meetings where we can practice as a group that's . great to know. I'm very excited to learn . that the spirit you can reach out to me if you have any other questions. Thanks, danny. Now listen again. Hi danny. My name is Rebecca. That was a great club meeting.
