For some of us,going to the dentist for routine check-ups is a thing of the ordinary.But
for many people around the world,especially those in poor areas,having dental improvement
and their teeth checked in simply isn't possible.A Brazilian dentist Felipe Rossi has devoted
高三英语素养测试卷第3页共10页
himself to helping change that situation.
Growing up in the USA,Felipe Rossi had just obtained the Bacnelor of Medicine Degree
and was about to start a master's degree in Pediatric Dentistry(儿童口腔学)when a journey to
his father's home-Balsoba in Brazil converted his initial plan."Not all locals had access to
dental care,and consequently,many of them suffered from deformed teeth or even loss of teeth,
leading to many people being afraid to laugh with their mouths open,"Felipe Rossi recalled.
"A desire was planted in my heart.That is,to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people
suffering from dental problems."
With the support of his parents,Felipe formed a NGO (non-government organization)
called Porsorriso to give free oral treatments to individuals with low incomes who require
cleaning,fillings,crowns,restoration work and more.His team is composed of approximately
30 registered volunteers who go with him to poor towns and villages in Brazil.
Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies.Individuals may also make
donations through the 'Smile Solidarity'program,where they can choose monthly amounts to
contribute.Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental
services around the country.
Noble as its objective is,Felipe admits that Porsorriso is "struggling to survive"because
of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold
to keep the NGO in normal functioning."Challenging as it is,it did bring healthy teeth as well
as renewed confidence to the locals.We will continue this transformative act whatever
difficulties we face,"Felipe said with a strong will.
24.How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A.By posing a contrast.
B.By reporting an event.
C.By assuming a situation.
D.By making an appeal.
25.What motivated Felipe to offer dental treatments to Brazilians?
A.The support from his parents.
B.The encounter with locals lacking dental care.
C.The passion for dental health.
D.The professional skills learnt from college.
26.Which of the following can best describe Felipe Rossi?
A.Hopeful and diligent.
B.Faithful and ambitious.
C.Intelligent and creative.
D.Charitable and devoted.
27.What do we know about Porsorriso?
A.It gives free oral treatments to anyone in need.
B.It is run by Felipe Rossi and the local authority.
C.It is financially supported by corporations and individuals.
D.It holds regular fundraisers to educate people about dental care.

Have you ever noticed how the email icon()on many computers and smartphones is
of an envelope?Or how camera phones make the sound of a real camera clicking when you
take a photo,even though there's no shutter to open or close?These are examples of
skeuomorphs,which is when new thiugs take on the appearance or sound of the object they've
replaced.
Why would new things want to look like something old?It's all to do with human
psychology.Psychologist James Gibson says one of the ways people understand the world is
through affordances-objects whose shape tells you how to use them.When creating new
digital technologies,inventors like Steve Jobs of Apple used skeuomorphs so people would
know how to use their products.By showing people an image of something they already knew
how to use,it made using a computer or smartphone easier.
However,as people became more familiar with modern technology,some designers
argued that skeuomorphs were no longer necessary.Indeed,the younger generation don't need
visual references to older items they've never used.This led to something called flat design,
where computer desktops and smartphone home screens started to do away with
skeuomorphism.
Skeuomorphs made a comeback,though,with smart watches.Many smart watches took
on the appearance of an old fashioned watch,with a clock face.This was to encourage people
who didn't like digital watches to consider buying a smart watch.
While these are the ways skeuomorphs are used today,that doesn't mean it's only a
modern phenomenon.In fact,the word was first used in 1899 by the archaeologist Henry
Colley March,who realized that some ancient artefacts(人工制品)kept the appearance of
older objects,even though there was no practical reason for them to do so.When ancient Greek
builders moved from using wood to stone,they recreated some of the characteristics of wooden
buildings.From ancient Greek architecture to 212 century technology,skeuomorphs have been
a key feature of scientific progress.So,when you wonder about the objects of the future,take a
look around.Chances are that they will look a lot like the objects of the past.
28.Which of the following is an example of skeuomorphs?
A.Facebook
B.Starbucks
C.Flashlight
D.Booking
29.How would people feel about skeuomorphs?
A.User-friendly.
B.Safety-centered.
C.Energy-saving.
D.Cost-effective.
30.Why did some designers think skeuomorphs unnecessary?
A,Users became accustomed to technology.
B.These products were expensive to design.
C.Young people rejected traditional designs.
D.The existing standards had been updated.
高三英语素养测试卷第5页共10页
31.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The prediction about future objects.
B.The key feature of scientific progress
C.The design philosophies of skeuomorphism.
D.The ever-lasting presence of skeuomorphs.

Glasgow University researchers have created a laser (camera using AI and quantum
technologies to remotely detect a person's heartbeat,potently changing health monitoring.
Professor Faccio imagines various applications,such as setting up this technology in shopping
malls or fixing laser heart monitors in homes.These monitors could be part of an extensive
system tracking different health aspects,such as blood pressure and slight changes in
movement,indicating early signs of conditions like Alzheimer's.
Monitoring a person's heartbeat from a distance holds significant value,as it can detect
irregularities like abnormal heart rates,providing crucial warnings of potential heart issues.In
contrast to the traditional use of stethoscopes(听诊器),this system overcomes limitations
associated with proper stethoscope usage,such as the need for training and the potential
reduction of heartbeat signals.
The system developed by Faccio and his team involves high-speed cameras which can
record images at speeds of 2,000 frames per second.A laser beam is shone onto the skin of a
person's throat and the reflections are used to measure exactly how much their skin is rising
and falling as their main artery (expands and contracts as blood is forced through it.
These changes involve movements of only a few billionths of a meter.
Such acuity is striking,though on its own the tracking of these tiny changes would not be
enough to track a heartbeat.Other,much larger movements occur on a person's chest-from
their breathing,for example-which would flood signals from their heartbeat.
"That is where AI comes in,"Faccio said."We use advanced computing systems to
separate out everything except the vibrations()caused by a person's heartbeat.We know
the frequency range of the human heartbeat,and AI focuses on that.The prime use of this
technology-which we hope to have ready next year-will be to measure heartbeats easily and
quickly outside hospitals.The benefits could be considerable."
32.What can the laser camera be used for?
A.Improving the usage of the stethoscopes.
B.Measuring blood pressure remotely.
C.Recording images of the human throat.
D.Detecting a person's heartbeat from a distance.
33.What does paragraph 3 focus on as for the system?
A.How it works.
B.Where it is used,
C.Whom it benefits
D.What it is composed of.

34.Which is closest in meaning to"acuity"in paragraph 4?
A.Sensitivity.
B.Complexity.
C.Consistency.
D.Intensity.
35.What role does AI play in the system?
A.To measure skin movements.
B.To recognize heartbeat vibrations.
C.To record images at high speeds
D.To shine a laser beam onto the skin.

I am a child of traditional book reading.I used to go through one book continuously from
beginning to end,taking notes or highlighting lines before going on to the next book.It was a
slow but deeper way to absorb a book.36My struggle with Dostoevsky's The Brothers
Karamazov early on is a good example.
After college,my job involved reading a lot of background materials for projects.
Many nights I stayed awake till past midnight leafing through pages.37It helped
me breeze through my reading requirements.However,for books I was genuinely passionate
about,I switched to a slower pace,and still read one book at a time.
_38I no longer stick to one book,but jump between them,spending about half an
hour on each.Currently,I'm reading six books in various stages,with more lined up to start
soon.My speed reading skills help me scan quickly without losing comprehension.I can easily
switch to slow reading mode whenever needed.
Recently,I learnt from a journal that my previous reading method is known as "Blocked
Practice",which involves studying one topic thoroughly before moving on to another.
39However,it tends to restrict how you apply knowledge in new and varied situations.
On the other hand,the "mixing it up"approach,also referred to as "Interleaved Practice",
could produce dramatic,long-lasting learning benefits.By switching between topics,readers
can make connections between ideas and skills.40Over time,readers could be more
capable of solving problems critically.If this is true,then my evolution as a reader of books has
been in the right direction all along.
A.It helps widen perspectives
B.This method has its limitations.
C.That was when I took up speed reading.
D.I'm not great at trying out different reading styles.
E.That's why it took me months to finish heavy books.
F.Nowadays I've acquired the habit of multiple book reading.
G.This approach can be effective for mastering individual concepts.

Common water plant could provide green energy.Scientists have found ways to get large
amounts of oil from duckweed-one of the fastest-growing water plants.Turning such plant oil
into biodiesel for transportation and56(heat)could support a sustainable future.
In a new study,researchers genetically modified duckweed to produce seven times more
oil per acre than soybeans.A biochemist said future work may double the57(engineer)
duckweed's oil output soon.
Biofuels,which are distinct from fossil fuels 58 form underground,possess
renewability and their consumption rate 59(exceed)by regeneration speed.They also
have lower carbon footprints.However,biofuels face60(criticize)because large crop
61(volume)are used for energy instead of food,and much farmland is used to grow
bio-fuel plants.
Duckweed grows worldwide and is highly productive.It could be a revolutionary energy
source for three reasons.First,it grows62(ready)in water and doesn't need farmland.
Second,it thrives in polluted water.Third,scientists found a way to avoid a major
biotechnological barrier.For 63new study,Shanklin says,the researchers added an oil-
producing gene,"turning it on like a light switch"64 introducing a particular molecule
only when the plant had finished growing.
"To expand production to industrial levels,scientists will need to design and produce
large-scale bases for growing engineered plants and obtaining oil is a challenge,"a researcher
says,"65 duckweed is a non-mainstream crop without much existing infrastructure."

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last weekend,I was standing at the finish line of the St.Francis Franny Flyer 5K
)route,waiting for my nine-year-old son Kade to pass by.
Kade,though a fourth-grader,was already an experienced runner.He had been a part of a
cross-country club since he was six years old.He had loved to run for as long as he could
remember.He had been working hard to improve his endurance and running skills as he was
determined to be a professional runner and compete in national and international races when he
was older.
There were two St.Francis Franny Flyer races happening at the same time that day.The
5K race weaved through neighborhoods,from the church to Pinecone Road and back while the
10K followed the same route but extended north on Pinecone Road.Race volunteers were
available on Pinecone Road to show runners the way,and there were also signs directing the
two different courses.
I signed Kade up for the 5K race as a way to train him for the Junior Olympics.He had
never run a 10K,not even in training,so the 10K race was never an option.
Kade was pretty fast and he set a 5K record for his age group at last year's race,so I was
surprised to see slower runners crossing the finish line before him."This is weird.He should be
ahead of them.He might just be having a bad race,"I thought to myself.But as the minutes
passed,my worry intensified.My heart raced at the thought that Kade might be lost or injured.
Anxious and worried,I drove along the 5K race route in search of Kade,but he was
nowhere to be found.A surge of fear and despair overwhelmed me,causing a flood of tears to
pour down my face.I turned to race officials and volunteers for help,and people started
looking for him.
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。
Later,a volunteer told me he had spotted Kade on the 10K course.
Finally,Kade appeared and crossed the finish line.
