I was young and shy when I first went to work there,and it probably took me a month before I talked to any of the other reporters.But eventually,they became my best friends,the core of my social life. My second newsroom was the airy top floor of a historic building in the state capital of Maryland. It was smaller and less grand but far more energizing.My colleagues were older.I learned so much about how to be a reporter from overhearing their phone interviews. This past summer,several American newspapers announced they would be closing their newsrooms. Many local newspapers have gone out of business in recent years,victims of declining circulation and shrinking advertising dollars.Then along came the coronavirus pandemic,and so many of us were sent home to work from there.The pleasant surprise is that we have all succeeded brilliantly in working remotely.But some managers have looked at this success and thought:"Why would we need to return to the newsroom?" I worry that they are making a big mistake.A physical newsroom sends a powerful message to a community:"We are here for you."At my first job,strangers could walk right through the door and straight up to my desk.We treasured that visibility. But I also think about the collaboration )-of the times I would overhear colleagues talking about a story and realize that I had some useful information for them.Sometimes a colleague would see me in the hall and give me a story idea.I can't wait to get back to my newsroom. 24.How was the author's first newsroom different from the second one? A.It sat in a big city B.It used to be a bank C.It was in a historic building. D.It was in a grand building 25.How did the author benefit from her second newsroom? A.She overcame her shyness. B.She made her best friends there C.She could overhear others'argument D.She gained experience from her colleagues. 26.What does the underlined part"this success"in paragraph 4 refer to? A.Journalists worked effectively at home. B.Newspaper circulation was increasing. C.Newspaper advertising was profitable. D.Journalism survived the pandemic. 27.Why is the author against closing newsrooms? A.Newsrooms serve as a close tie. B.She will be out of work as a result. C.Newspapers will disappear due to it. D.It is against the will of communities C Much of Earth is unexplored.An Ocean Census()hopes to change that. "Earth"has always been an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun.After all,two- 用心阅读认真审题 高三英语 第2页共8页 分步作答规范书写 人难我难我不畏难 人易我易我不大意 thirds of its surface is covered not by earth at all,but by oceans of water. Because humans are land animals,most of the Earth remains under-explored.Marine( )biologists think the oceans might host more than 2 million species of marine animals,of which they have so far identified perhaps a tenth. A new initiative hopes to change this.Launched in London on April 27th,Ocean Census aims to discover 100,000 new species of marine animal over the coming decade.It is backed by Nekton,a British marine-research institute,and the Nippon foundation,Japan's biggest charitable foundation.Its first ship, the Norwegian icebreaker Kronprins Haakon,set sail on April 29th,bound for the Barents Sea The initiative is happening for two reasons.One is that the longer scientists wait,the less there will be to identify.Climate change is heating the oceans,as well as making them more acidic(as carbon dioxide dissolves goes into the water.Already around half the world's coral reefs ()-thought to be home to around 25%of all ocean species-have been lost.Oliver Steeds,Nekton's founder,says that one of Ocean Census's priorities will be identifying species thought to be in the greatest danger from climate change.The second reason is technological.Marine biologists find about 2,000 new species a year,a rate hardly changed since Darwin's day.Ocean Census is betting it can go faster. Exactly what the new effort might turn up is impossible to predict.But history suggests it will be fruitful.Half a century ago scientists discovered hot vents()on the sea bed.These days,such vents are one possible candidate for the origin of all life on Earth.There are more practical benefits,too.Many drugs,for example,come originally from biological substance.An ocean full of unidentified life will almost certainly prove a rich mine from which to mine more. 28.Why is"Earth an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun? A.Its climate is changing rapidly. B.Humans have not explored much of it. C.Most of its surface is covered by water. D.It hosts a large number of marine animals. 29.What can we infer from paragraph 5? A.The rate of discovering new species won't change. B.The new initiative will mainly focus on coral reefs C.Climate change has a great impact on marine species. D.Scientists have identified nearly all the species in the ocean. 30.What might be the potential benefits of the Ocean Census according to the last paragraph? A.It may result in a reduction in overfishing. B.It may lead to the discovery of new drugs. C.It may contribute to the advancement of technology D.It may prove the oceans are our life-support system. 31.What's the best title for the text? A.The Endangered Planet B.Reducing Sea Pollution:A Global Initiative C.How to Protect the Oceans? D.The Misnamed Earth:Exploring the Ocean's Secrets 用心阅读认真审题 高三英语 第3页共8页 分步作答规范书写 人难我难我不畏难 人易我易我不大意 D Last summer,two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana,to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco.Thehouses were made of wood.These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil;now they hold Twitter engineers. The cottages could be an example of the industry's odd love for "low technology",a concept associated with the natural world,and with old-school craftsmanship that exists long before the Internet era.Low technology is not virtual-so,to take advantage of it,Internet companies have had to get creative.Therescued wood cottages,fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds,are an obvious example, but Twitter's designs lie on the extreme end.Other companies are using a broader interpretation of low technology that focuses on nature. Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees,so that employees can"work and socialize in a more natural,park-like setting."At Google's office,an entire floor is carpeted in grass.Facebook's second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking path. Olle Lundberg,the founder of Lundberg Design,has worked with many tech companies over the years."We have lost the connections to the maker in our lives,and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished(贫之的)，because they're surrounded by the digital world,”he says.“They're looking for a way to regain their individual identity,and we've found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.” This craft-based theory is rooted in history.William Morris,the English artist and writer,turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties,just after Industrial Revolution.The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines."Without creative human occupation,people became disconnected from life,"Morris said. Research has shown that natural environments can restore our mental abilities.In Japan,patients are encouraged to "forest-bathe",taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure. These health benefits apply to the workplace as well.Rachel Kaplvin,a professor of environmental psychology,has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environments.Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office-even simple views of trees and flowers-felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfy ing.If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then,fine,bring on the cottages. 32.Why did the writer mention the two nineteenth-century cottages? A.To show that Twitter is having a hard time. B.To show that old cottages are in need of protection. C.To show that early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in Montana. D.To show that Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology 33.Low technology is regarded as something that A.is related to nature B.is out of date today C.consumes too much energy D.exists in the virtual world 34.What's the main idea of Paragraph 5? A.Human beings have destroyed many pre-industrial arts. B.Human beings have a tradition of valuing arts and crafts. 用心阅读认真审题 高三英语 第4页共8页 分步作答规范书写 人难我难我不畏难 人易我易我不大意 C.Human beings can become intelligent by learning history. D.Human beings can regain their individual identity by using machines. 35.What can be the best title for the passage? A.Past Glories,Future Dreams B.The Virtual World,the Real Challenge C.High-tech Companies,Low-tech Offices D.The More Craftsmanship,the Less Creativity 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Handling difficult co-workers in the office environment is a headache.Avoiding them at work is sometimes not an option,so many people wonder how to deal with them,and perfect solutions can't come soon.36 Go to H.R. Whether you have a formal Human Resources department or just one person who supervises everyone,there should be someone who's in charge of employee peace-keeping.You can talk to this person.37.For example,don't say"This person is driving me crazy!"Instead,you should say This person habitually asks me to do her work while she visits chat rooms."
