Considering that I teach students who are trained to be doctors,I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without "outside help"."What kind of help is that?"I asked,expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to 闲 help them out. Surger(外科手术)”，one replied.I was pretty shocked by that response.It seems that the 铭 graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job.One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. "They break your legs,put in special things,and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows.You can get at least 5cm taller!" At that point,I was shocked.I am short.I can't deny that,but I don't think I would put myself through months of pain just to be a few centimeters taller.I don't even bother to wear shoes with thick soles ()as I'm not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall! It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting "perfection",and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality. No one is born perfect,however,magazines,TV shows and movies present images of thin,tall, beautiful people as being the norm().Advertisements for slimming aids,beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery(整容手术)clinics fill the pages of newspapers,.further creating an idea that perfection"is a requirement,and that you must go for it,no matter what the cost.In my opinion, skills,rather than appearance,should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career. 56.In the author's opinion,"outside help"means 学期高三年级二火月考英语学科考试 A.trying to be perfect B.going under the knife C.getting helps from relatives or family friends D.getting ahead of others 57.Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to A.marry a better man/woman B.get an advantage over others in job-hunting C.become a model D.attract more admirers 58.What was the author's reaction towards the girl's decision? A.Excited. B.Surprised. C.Happy. D.Angry. 59.According to the passage,the author believes that A,everyone should go for perfection,whatever the cost B.it's right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobs C.it is-one's appearance instead of skills that really matters in one's career D.media should be criticised for misleading young people to do surgery 60.What does the author think of his height? A.He dislikes being called a short man. B.He tries to increase his height through surgery. C.He just accepts it as it is. D.He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact. C This morning,I saw the shocking headline:"Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode".In the various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars.They said that scme advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence,we shouldeesaccepting technology just because it is new.The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for the accident,but the families of the deceased (said it was not enough.Nevertheless,the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon. On the one hand,there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily the absence of new technology..Probably the most well known are the Amish(亚米希人)，a group of Christians living in rural America.They do not own or drive cars,watch TV,or use the Internet.They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century,and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future.They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work,family,and community. They think that is betier than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous.It could even be argued that the Amish's quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large,polluted cities. 'On the'other hand,new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years.For example,the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters,which saves many lives.Moreover,the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world.It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier,as it allows people to make larger networks of friends 塘沽十三中20252026学年度第 学 through using social media. Personally,I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances.I found my career as an AI designer through a.social media network.My health monitor,which I wear all the time,has also helped me get into the best shape of my life.Of course,when ncw technology changes the way we live,it can be a scary prospect.Nevertheless,I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it. 61.In writing Paragraph 1,the author aims to A.introduce a topic B.make a comparison 过 C.reach a conclusion D.propose a definition 62.What does the author intend to show with the example of the Amish? A.Their way of life will change in the near future. B.The quality of life in the countryside is higher than in the city. p C.Not everyone is willing to embrace new technology. D Following the lifestyle of celebrities will lead to a decline in the quality of life. 63.What does the author mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 3? A.New technology can help us find our friends on the other side of the world. B.New technology can prevent potential natural disasters from happening C.New technology can help us expand our circle of friends. D.New technology has brought a lot of convenience to mankind. 64.What is the author's attitude towards new technology? A.Grateful.. B.Critical. C.Skeptical. D.Pessimistic 救 65.What makes the best title for the passage? A.Should Driverless Car Have a Future.B.The Amish and New Technology C.Driyerless Car with New Technology D.Should We Fight New Technology D In our daily lives,we often hear about the benefits of exercise for our physical health.But have you ever wondered about its effect on our memory?Well,a recent study from University College London has some interesting findings. The researchers discovered that30 minutes of moderate to vigorous(（充满活力的)physical activity,along with at least six hours of sleep at night,could potentially lead to an improvement in cognitive (performance the following day.This means that activities like cycling to work or going for a walk in the morning might not only make you feel good for the day but also have a positive impact on your memory the next day. Previous studies on the short-term effects of physical activity were mostly done in laboratories and focused on short time frames.However,this new study observed the real-life physical activity of 76 adults aged50一83，who did not have cognitive impairment(缺陷)or dementia(痴呆).These participants wore an accelerometer(加速度计)for eight days to track their sleep and physical activity.They also took simple online cognitive tests daily to measure their attention,memory,and processing speed. The results showed that each 30-minute increase in physical activity corresponded to a 2%- 5%increase in episodic(片段式的)and working memory scores the next day..But when sleep data was considered,only the working memory score improvement remained significant.The study also 学期高三年级二次月考英语学科考试 found that more sedentary（久坐不a动的)behavior was associated with a drop in working memory scores,while getting enough sleep led to better scores in episodic memory and other aspects. Despite these findings,the study had its limitations.The participants were generally well-educated and had good health and high levels of daily physical activity,which might not ropresent the entire population.Also,the exact reason why exercise affects memory the next day is still unclear,as the benefits from neurotransmitters(t神经递质)are thought to be short-lived. In conclusion,while we still have more to learn,this study suggests that staying active and getting enough sleep could be beneficial for our brain health and memory.So,let's put on our running shoes and hit the sack early to give our brains a boost! 66.What did the University College London study find? A.Any amount of exercise improves memory immediately. B.Only intense exercise affects memory. C.Thirty minutes of exercise and proper sleep may enhance next-day cognitive ability. D.Sleep has no connection to memory improvement. 67.How was this study different from previous ones? A.It involved a larger number of participants B.It focused only on the long-term effects. C.It only studied younger people. D.It was based on real-life activity tracking. 68.What were the participants asked to do in the study? A. Wear a device and do cognitive tests. B.Exercise for a fixed time every day. C.Change their diet drastically. D.Avoid all sedentary activities. 69.What are the limitations of the study? A.The participants were all athletes. B.The participants had specific characteristics. C.It didn't consider the role of diet. D.It was too expensive to conduct. 70.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A.To explain the physiological mechanisms B.To criticize the study's limitations C.To propose directions for future research D.To suggest practical applications of the findings 五.阅读表达（共5个小题，每小题2分，满分10分） You've got to know your own value,know what you want,and stick with it.That's what T.
