Dear Wang Lin, I hope this email finds you well. It’s great to hear from you, and I completely understand your concerns about managing smartphone usage. It’s something many of us struggle with, especially during our busy high school years. I’d be happy to offer some advice to help you gain better self-control over your smartphone usage. First and foremost, consider setting specific boundaries for your phone usage. Allocate certain hours for important tasks like studying and sleeping when you should keep your phone away. This will help you avoid distractions and improve your focus. You can also utilize features like screen time limits and app usage trackers to keep yourself in check. Secondly, try to identify the time-wasting apps or activities on your phone. Recognize the apps that consume most of your time without offering significant benefits. Once you identify them, consider deleting or limiting your use of these apps. This will free up more of your time for productive activities. Lastly, find alternative hobbies or interests that don’t involve your phone. Engaging in physical activities, reading books, or pursuing creative hobbies can help reduce your dependence on your smartphone. Remember, it’s all about balance. By implementing these strategies, you can regain control over your smartphone usage and make the most of your time. I believe you can do it! Let’s catch up soon. Yours, Li Ming 第 1 页 / 共 1 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 复旦大学附属中学2024学年第一学期 高三年级英语学科10月第三次阶段性教学质量评估试卷 I. Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Two Trips Artur: Route 66 Growing up in Hungary in the 70s, Route 66 was like a mythical highway. The Rolling Stones' version of the song was very popular back then and I knew the lyrics (歌词) by heart. Ever since then, I 1          (want) to drive it - and last year my dream finally came true. To celebrate our 50th birthdays, I flew to Chicago with an old friend, Attila. We then hired a car and set off for LA - more than 2000 miles away! We hadn't done much research 2          we left - and soon discovered that the road is no longer really in use! Its peak years were the 1930s through to the 60s and since then it's fallen into disrepair. As a result, much of the journey was quite bumpy; we went through some really out-of-the-way places - and got 3          (lose) quite a bit as well! We drove through some really boring scenery - mile after mile of farmland - and, of course, we had the occasional quarrel. Spending all that time together meant they were bound 4          (happen)! Having said that, though we ended up better friends than ever. Felix: The Trans - Siberian Railway I'm studying Chinese at university and last year I went to Beijing. I've always loved trains, so I decided to go across Russia on the Trans - Siberian express. I had wanted to travel alone as my image of group tours is middle - aged people 5          (follow) a guide around like a group of sheep. However, other people advised 6          travelling independently and the Vodkatrain group tour turned out to be quite different from the usual tour. There were only eight of us - all in 7          twenties. I guess being stuck on a train for hours day after day you either end up bonding or wanted to kill each other and luckily we formed a strange bond. The guides in the cities we stopped off at were local students who gave us useful information about 8          most tourists don't go. Their friends even came along sometimes, so not only 9          we pass through some amazing countryside, but we also met some remarkable people. There were many highlights, among 10          Lake Baikal was the best. It's this vast expanse of incredibly pure water and the whole area is almost untouched by the modern world. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. broadened B. completely C. comprehensive D. concerned E. consistent F. expansion G. involved H. limitation I. predicted J. sociality K. ultimately Sea Smarts Killer whales have group-specific dialects, sperm whales babysit one another's young and bottlenose dolphins cooperate with other species. These social skills are all closely linked with their brain sizes, according to a recent study. Scientists first proposed a relation between social living and brain 11          nearly three decades ago, when they observed that primate (灵长类) species with larger brains typically lived in bigger groups. This theory was later 12          to associate brain size with other social characteristics, such as resolving conflicts and distributing food. Michael Muthukrishna, an economic psychologist at the London School of Economics, and his colleagues went searching for a similar link between big brains and 13          in cetaceans (鲸目动物). They collected a(n) 14          data set of cetacean brain and body mass, group size and social characteristics. The team's analyses, which covered 90 species, revealed that brain size was best 15          by a score based on various social behaviors such as cooperation with other species, group hunting and complex vocalizations. Bigger brains were also linked to other factors, including dietary richness and geographical range. The authors say these results are 16          with theories that cetaceans developed large brains to deal with the challenges of living in information-rich social environments. Yet Muthukrishna notes that his study's main 17          is the lack of available research on many cetacean species. Discovering more about whales and dolphins could reveal that other factors—such as life span and the duration of the young-age phase—might also be 18          in brain size, he adds. Understanding how cetaceans developed such big brains could 19          help us piece together humanity's own evolutionary history. Because these animals occupy a(n) 20          different environment than people do, Muthukrishna says, "they provide us with a useful control group for testing hypotheses (假设) about human evolution." II. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. "Where words fail, music speaks." Though these words, from the pen of Hans Christian Andersen, are appealing, the idea that there might be something 21          in music which go beyond cultural boundaries has generally been met with doubt by scholars working in the field. That doubt may, however, be groundless, for research published in Current Biology this week by Samuel Mehrand Manvir Singh of Harvard University provides evidence that music does indeed 22          the communication of simple ideas between people even when they have no language in common. To confirm this, the two researchers recruited 750 online volunteers from 60 countries. They played these volunteers 36 musical pieces, each 14 seconds long, and each drawn at random from one of 118 songs in a collection of the music of small-scale societies around the world. Given the broad range of cultures and languages 23          in the collection, and the diversity of the volunteers, Dr Mehr and Mr Singh could be reasonably certain that those listening were both 24          with the music and unable to understand the lyrics (歌词) in question. After each piece had been played, volunteers were asked what they thought the song's 25          was, and how sure they were of that on a scale of one to six. The possibilities offered were: "for dancing"; "for comforting a baby"; "for healing illness"; "for expressing love for another"; "for remembering the dead"; and "for telling a story". 'The first four of these were real functions, as 26          by the people from whom the song in question had been collected. The last two were 27         , and were included as foils (陪衬者). Dr Mehr and Mr Singh found that volunteers' 28          of a song's function were generally in good agreement with its actual function - with one exception. Dance songs were particularly 29          to identify. They rated 2.18 points higher on the certainty scale as being used "for dancing" than lullabies (摇篮曲) did; 1.38 points higher than love songs; and 1.09 points higher than healing songs. 30         , lullabies were rated 1.53 points higher than dance songs as being "to comfort a baby", 1.42points higher than healing songs and 1.19 points higher than love songs. Healing songs proved a bit more 31         . They scored only 0.47 and 0.31 points higher than dance and love songs respectively for "to heal illness", and were statistically indistinguishable from lullabies. The 32         , though, was love songs. Listeners could distinguish them from healing songs, but not from lullabies or dance songs. Why love songs were hard to identify is 33         . Because such songs involve showing off to the object of one's affections, they may require more creativity, and thus generate more 34          than lullabies or dance songs. Perhaps the fact that both dancing and cooing (温柔地说话) are involved in romance 35          listeners. Love songs aside, however, Andersen was clearly onto something. 21. A. universal B. similar C. elegant D. innovative 22. A. weaken B. teach C. explain D. permit 23. A. concealed B. instructed C. arranged D. represented 24. A. unpopular B. unfamiliar C. dissatisfied D. disconnected 25. A. origin B. rhythm C. function D. relevance 26. A. consumed B. controlled C. excluded D. stated 27.

A. energy B. variety C. interest D. profit 35. A. satisfied B. disappointed C. confused D. relieved Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. （A） The last time the horse seriously competed with man-made transport for speed was 1830, when a stagecoach won a race against America's first domestically manufactured steam locomotive (蒸汽机车). Now the horse has emerged victorious over what is in theory a far more powerful opponent -the broadband internet connection. The contest over the gently rolling hills of the Sauerland, a pretty district in western Germany, started as a joke. Klaus-Peter Kappest, a photographer from Oberkirchen, had been frustrated for years by the slow pace of his uploads. At 15 megabits (兆比特，一种信息量单位) per second, it sometimes takes him several hours to send a batch of high-resolution images to his clients. One day Mr Kappest, 52, was chatting to his colleagues at Woll, a local magazine. He suggested that he would be better off delivering his photographs by horse. "That was the most reliable communications technology in the Middle Ages," he said, "And the editor said, 'Well let's do it then, let's see which truly faster.'" Mr Kappest turned to Jakob Schütte, a rider who lives in the same village, and Favo, his horse. The photographer burnt 4.2GB of images on to a DVD, packed it into a bag and sent it off with Favo and Mr Schütte on the 10km ride to the printer's office in Schmallenberg. At the same time he uploaded the data through WeTransfer, a popular file-sharing service. The computer had a 20-minute head start while Mr Schütte started off down the road, past Wilzenberg mountain. Favo made the journey in 104 minutes. The file transfer, however, was not finished until the horse had returned to Oberkirchen more than two hours later. In total it took five hours. There was a serious point behind the story. Germany has long been known for its poor broadband and mobile internet coverage, particularly in the countryside. Two years ago a report by a network regulator found that 29 per cent of internet users received less than half the speed to which they were contractually entitled, While things have improved, a global survey carried out this year found that it took on average 16 minutes and eight seconds to download a 5GB film through a German internet connection - a little better than the UK but worse than Puerto Rico and Barbados. In the Sauerland, Mr Kappest's area, millions of euros have been spent on a now network but the connections have yet to be switched on in dozens of towns and villages, including Oberkirchen. The horse race did its job: Mr Kappest has since been assured that his broadband will be up and running next month. 36. The story of a stagecoach is mentioned in the first paragraph mainly to________. A. lead in the topic B. introduce a new race C. highlight a historical year D. correct people's misunderstanding 37. Which of the following is true of Jakob Schütte and his horse? A. They were hired by WeTransfer. B. They used to live in Schmallenberg. C. They completed the tasks in less than two hours. D. They spent five hours on the way to Oberkirchen. 38. Which of the following is a consequence of the horse race? A. Germany will realize its poor broadband service. B. Mr Kappest will soon have a better internet connection. C. More euros will be spent on the new network in the Sauerland. D. Oberkirchen will be the first in Germany to stop any horse race. 39. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage? A. Germany falls behind in wifi connection B. History hardly repeats itself in normal ways C. Uploading photographs in a modern world is all that easy D. Horse power still has an advantage in race with village wifi （B） To access new mates and food sources, wild mammals (哺乳动物) must often move between protected areas. Conservationists have long advocated designating (指定) "wild-life corridors" to make this easier and safer - but the most crucial routes' locations, and whether conditions within them support or harm these journeys, have been largely unknown until now. A recent study found that more than 65 percent of such passages where movements are most concentrated remain unprotected. Reducing certain human pressures, the study authors note, could be even more effective at boosting connections than adding protected territory between existing refuges. The scientists examined data on the movements of 624 individual mammals from 48 species, from South American jaguars to African giraffes, using a methodology called circuit theory to create a global map of pathways between protected areas. Most previous studies simply evaluated whether these areas were connected at all. The new study also examined conditions along these mammal pathways, including routes through land used by humans for homes, crops, or forestry. The team then evaluated whether protected areas were well connected to or isolated from others. "We need to maintain those populations and make sure that protected areas don't become islands in sea of human land uses." says University of British Columbia conservation scientist Angela Brennan, the study's lead author. 40. The study introduced in the passage is different from most previous studies in ________. A. who is engaged B. what is evaluated C. hour many species are examined D. why the study is conducted 41. What conclusion has been drawn from the study? A. Existing mammal refuges are not well protected due to insufficient data. B. It is necessary to designate more "wild-life corridors" for wild mammals. C. Most of the protected areas for mammals have become "isolated islands" D. The less human footprint, the more mammal movement in the pathways. 42.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Human activities have caused protected areas to become isolated. B. Mammal populations have been well-maintained in all refuges. C. Adding protected territory is the most effective way to protect mammals. D. The study failed to examine the conditions of the pathways. （C） A generation understandably frightened by "adulting" may well welcome the linguistic (语言的) comfort food of childlike language. And once established, the habit can easily make the jump to those of us more advanced in years. After all, a kid is inside every one of us, and few people are resistant to the infectiousness of creativity. Young people are the primary drivers of language change, but even we "olds" - as the young are used to putting it - like to change things up now and then. As new slang creeps across generational divides, however, it inevitably stirs up people's deepest linguistic anxieties. Does the new trend of kidspeak represent a dumbing-down of the English language? Just the opposite: With the rise of kidspeak, we are actually witnessing English's enrichment. It has long been ordinary for one language to borrow from another, and even from a dialect of the same language: Black English has lent mainstream English words like diss and the "angry" meaning of salty. Kidspeak extends our word stock in exactly the same way that Old Norse, French, and Latin once did. On the internet, for example, kidspeak refers to a "smol kitty" and a "smol baby," but not a "smol mailbox" or "smol Blu-ray player." Smol, then, is not merely a way of spelling small, but a more specific term referring to cuteness. Just missing out on becoming Word of the Year at the American Dialect Society's 2019 meeting was “yeet”, seemingly meant to imitate the sound of something being thrown into a container or through a net (and often pronounced with a celebratory gesture to that effect). One now speaks of "yeeting" an empty can into the trash, and the word has even developed an irregular past-tense form, yote. We have kidspeak to thank for introducing these new layers of playfulness into our vocabulary. English today is arguably more fertile than it's been since Shakespeare's time, and those worried about the novelty of kidspeak might consider that not so long ago pedants (顽固派) were insisting the proper person should say "bal-coh-nee" for balcony, stamp out "nonwords" such as standpoint, and use obnoxious to mean "ripe for injury." Their arguments failed miserably when presented to everyday speakers, who tend to have good intuition about how language should work. Amid today's news cycles, the emergence of kidspeak is something to celebrate. This new slang is a totally natural and endlessly witty collective advancement of the American idiom. It makes for more interesting talk. I, at least, am glad to be living with the English of right now, surrounded by all the new words. 43. According to the speaker, what does the popularity of childlike language reflect? A. Old people's increasing anxieties. B. People's reluctance to growing up. C. Young people's resistance to changes. D. The deepening of generational divides. 44. The example of "smol" is intended to ________. A. form a sharp contrast with the word "yeet" B. illustrate that kidspeak enriches the English language C. reveal how new words are loaned from other languages D. remind readers that many English words are borrowed words 45. Which of the following statements about kidspeak is the writer most likely to agree with? A. Kidspeak does more good than harm to English. B. Kidspeak is not all playful as commonly thought. C. Kidspeak was awarded 2019's Word of the Year. D. Kidspeak is regarded as something overestimated. 46. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The emergence of kidspeak is the result of linguists' collective wisdom. B. The English language hasn't changed much since Shakespeare's time. C. The development of English depends mainly on everyday speakers. D. The advancement of the American idiom contributes to kidspeak. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. It has 1.5 million entries in seventy-six languages - and counting. B. The wide-open nature of the Internet encourages people to disregard the importance of professionalism. C. They know you could confirm anything you like by adding it yourself. D. You then use them to set up a website that can be edited by anyone you like. E. 'Oh,' they write, 'you've got a major security issue.' F. Spend enough time talking to Wales and you'll believe his life has been one long series of laughter. The Internet's Largest Encyclopaedia (百科全书) Being the founder of the Internet's largest encyclopaedia means Jimmy Wales gets a lot of strange emails. But the emails that make him laugh out loud come from concerned newcomers who've just discovered they have total freedom to edit a Wikipedia entry at the click of a button. 47          Wikipedia is a free open-source encyclopaedia, which basically means that anyone can log on Academics are upset. An Encyclopaedia Britannica and add to it or edit it. And they do. 48          editor once compared Wikipedia to a public toilet seat because you don't know who used it last. Loyal users claim that cooperation improves articles over time. But what exactly is a wiki and how does it work? Wikis are simple pieces of software that you can download for free. 49          Need to solve a business problem overnight and all the members of your team are in different time zones? Start a wiki. And the name? Believe it or not, the name came about because the inventor of the wiki had his honeymoon in Hawaii，where you catch the 'wiki wiki' (quick) bus from the airport. Anyway, years ago, Jimmy Wales was looking for a way to combine his two major hobbies: reading the Encyclopaedia Britannica and surfing the Internet. I met all these great people online,' he says, 'and we were all discussing things on mailing lists no one ever looks at. I thought, why not build something long-lasting, more fun and entertaining?' Ah, fun. 50          Options and futures trading, which he did in Chicago in the 1990s, was "fun and cool'. Quitting his job to start an Internet company? Delightful. Paying the mortgage purely from investments? Fantastic. And Wikipedia's growth? Simply amazing. 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. Can Big Tech Be Contained? From the moment Alexa wakes us up in the morning, through to Google recording our every search query, to Facebook feeding us a diet of what our friends are up to, our lives are increasingly in the hands of just four companies: Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple. Every day, they get to decide what we see, hear and experience in a way that no other companies in history have before. For example, on the average Facebook feed, there are reportedly up to 1500 things that Facebook could show us at any one time: Baby photos posted by your cousin, news articles, your friends arguing about politics and so on. So to make this manageable, Facebook uses an algorithm to choose what it thinks we most want to see. We don't know in any detail how such algorithms work. In fact we can't know, as these are the "secret sauce" that have made the platforms, like Facebook, so successful, and so powerful. Okay, so these four companies are powerful now. So what? Inevitably in the cut-throat world of business, it's only a matter of time until another company invests a better product, and shakes up the tech industry again, right? Not necessarily. What makes these four companies slightly different to what has come before them, even when compared to enormous oil companies or banks, is that the tech firms are able to take advantage of the power of "network" effects, which well protects their position. Facebook is once again a particularly good example of this. What makes Facebook useful is that all of your friends are there. If another company created something better than Facebook, it would be hard for it to gain a foothold because, ultimately, everyone you know is already on Facebook. Sadly, there are no easy ways to make Big Tech less, well, big. IV.
