The team,based at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in Maryland, US,studied the differences in how humans and macaques hear the world."We found that a certain region of our brains has a stronger preference for sounds with pitch than macaque monkey brains," said senior author Dr Bevil Conway. The area of the brain(12)_ _processes sounds is called the auditory cortex.By studying the activity ofthe auditory cortex in a brain scan,the team could measure(13) strongly the brain responded to certain sounds. The sounds(14)(divide)into two types:noise without pitch,and pitch without noise. Specifically,'noise'is a sound (15) contain)lots of different frequencies within a particular range,like the sound of an untuned radio.kegular human speech and macaque calls have both a pitch and a noise component.To compare how humans and macaques responded to each type of sound,the team first played the participants a series ofpure tones followed by a series of noises(16)_ (make)up of similar frequencies. In humans,the auditory cortex lit up much (17) (brightly)when the tones were played,compared to the noises.However,macaques showed barely any difference in how they responded to these two sounds. "These results suggest the macaque monkey may experience music and other sounds differently, "said Conway."In contrast,the macaque's experience of the visual world is probably very similar to our own.It nakes one (18) wonder)what kind of sounds our evolutionary ancestors experienced.The results raise the possibility that these sounds,which are embedded in speech and music,(19) have shaped the basic organization of the human brain.(20) _We rely so heavily on speech to communicate,and music is culturally important,our brains evolved to accommodate these."

Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need. 高三英语第2页共11页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap印 A tempting B.developing C.permanent D marketed control F.rpidly G.required H.present I.addicted 】entirely decrease Is vaping really safer than smoking? What exactly is vaping,and why is it so popular among teens?Vaping is inhaling vapor( )through e-cigarette.It is21 as an alternative smoking tobacco.There are likely several reasons why teens find vaping interesting.Vaping devices look cool,and who doesn't like to look cool?Liquids for electronic cigarettes(e-cigarettes)come in hundreds of 22 flavors such as mango,or strawberries and cream.Teens also think more about the here and now than the future. Here and now,vaping may be cool,but down the road,it's not. People see vaping as safe because they think that they're just inhaling water vapor and tasty flavorings.But much more than that is going into their lungs.In fact,many different chemicals go into vape pods ()The liquid inside can contain heavy metals that cause lung damage.The chemical diacetyl(双乙酰)，23_in many e-liquids,.causes popcorn lung,which makes breathing difficult.Signs of it can appear as little as two weeks after inhaling the chemical.The condition has no cure.The damage is 24. More troubling is the presence of nicotine in the vapor.Nicotine makes people feel good but is very addicting.It reaches the brain 10 seconds after being inhaled.Once 25,people find it difficult to quit using it.The potential for nicotine addiction is higher in teens than adults because a teenager's brain is still26.Nicotine use during the teen years can affect one's brain to become easily addicted to other drugs. One vape pod can contain more nicotine than 20 cigarettes.Nicotine affects the length of time teens can pay attention,their ability to learn and their emotion People addicted to nicotine are often anxious without the drug.Over time more and more is8 to make them feel good. But it's never too late to quit.Ask friends and family to help.Don't just plan tothe number of times you vape each day.Now is the time to drop your e-cigarette 30.If you get anxious,breathe deeply and focus on enjoying the air.Cutting vaping out of your life will make your body happier and healthier. 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. CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描App If you survey American parents about what they want for their kids,more than 90 percent say one of their top priorities is that their children be caring.This makes sense:Kindness and concern for others are held as 31 in nearly every society.But when you ask children what their parents 32 for them,81 percent say their parents value achievement and happiness over caring. Kids learn what's 33 to adults not by listening to what we say,but by noticing what gets our attention.And in many developed societies,parents now pay more attention to individual achievement and happiness than anything else.However much we34 kindness and caring, we're not actually showing our kids that we value these traits. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised,then,that kindness appears to be35.An analysis of annual surveys of American college students showed a substantial drop from 1979 to 2009 in imagining the perspectives of others.Over this period,students grew36 to feel concern for people less fortunate than themselves. It's not just that people care less;they seem to be37less,too.In one experiment,a sociologist left thousands of what appeared to be lost letters in dozens of American cities in 2001, and again in 2011.From the first round to the second one,the proportion of letters that was 38 by passersby and put in a mailbox declined by 10 percent.Psychologists find that kids born after 1995 39 as much as their predecessors (that other people experiencing difficulty should be helped-but they feel less personal responsibility to take action themselves. If we truly care less about one another,some of the40 lies with the values parents have promoted.In our own lives,we've observed many parents becoming so focused on achievement that they 41 kindness. Other parents discourage kindness,seeing it as a source of 42 in a fiercely competitive world.In some parenting circles,for example,there's a movement against 43when preschoolers are selfish in their play.These parents worry that stepping in might prevent kids from learning to stick up for themselves,and say that they're less 44 the prospect of raising an adult who doesn't share than one who struggles to say no.But there's no reason parents can't teach their kids to care about others and themselves-to be both 45 and self-respecting.If you encourage children to consider the needs and feelings of others,sometimes they will and sometimes they won't.But they'll soon learn that if you don't treat others considerately,they may not be considerate toward you. 高三英语第4页共1】页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap印 B.records C.virtues D.media 31.A.events 32.A.change B.pay C.create D.want 33.A.available B.important C.familiar D.equal 34.A.praise B.deserve C.display D.encounter 35.A.in decline B.under control C.on hand D.above average 36.A.more willing B.more surprised C.less likely D.less relieved 37.A.saying B.thinking C.enjoying D.helping 38.A.set aside B.taken down C.picked up D.put off 39.A.believe B.doubt C.learn D.complain 40.A.difference B.theme C.demand D.blame 41.A.respect B.neglect C.define D.evaluate 42.A.weakness B.happiness C.comfort D.anxiety 43.A.discriminating B.intervening C.collapsing D.forgiving 44.A.curious about B.grateful for C.worried about D.helpful for 45.A.generous B.independent C.knowledgeable D.appreciative 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) Roberto Beltrami grew up just a few hours'drive from Murano of Italy,world-famous for producing beautiful glassware.But it was in Boston that he first came across the art of glassblowing. It was 2011,and Beltrami,then a physics student at Boston University,was fascinated by an exhibition of the work of American artist Dale Chihuly,known for pushing back the boundaries of contemporary glassblowing Beltrami visited Murano during his summer break and took a class in glassblowing.That class turned into an apprenticeship()and later he studied under some of the world's most famous glassblowing masters. At one time,Murano was the global leader in glassblowing.But in recent years,the number of factories has dropped sharply.While many say that young people are uninterested in pursuing hot, hard manual labor,Beltrami has a different perspective."With a long tradition of closely guarding their trade secrets,workshops in Murano are reluctant to welcome newcomers,'Beltrami said. In 2017,Beltrami started his own workshop,Wave Murano Glass.Now with a team of 20, 高三英语第5页共11页 CS扫描全能王 y 3亿人都在用的扫描App many of them in their twenties and thirties,Beltrami-believed to be the youngest glass master in Murano-is training a new generation of craftsmen. At Wave,Beltrami introduced a variety of modern technologies,including streamlining workflows and new furnaces().These furnaces can capture heat that is typically lost via exhaust fumes and reuse it to preheat the air going into the burner. Murano's factories have historically worked on small-scale industrial orders,with many rejecting orders of less than a few hundred but unable to handle those of a few thousand.So, Beltrami set up his workshop to be flexible.While most of Wave's products are white label products for brands,designers,and artists,up to 10%of the company's sales come from classes and tours. Beltrami also has made a point of offering internships to young,enthusiastic people from around the globe,many of whom are now employed by Wave.For Beltrami,finding new talents is an essential step to revitalize the industry. 46.What first aroused Beltrami's interest in glassblowing? A.A childhood visit to Murano. B.An exhibition on glass artworks. C.An art course at Boston University D.Aphysical experiment about glassblowing. 47.What accounts for the decline of Murano's glassblowing industry in Beltrami's opinion? A.The falling global demand for glassware. B.Local workshops'unwillingness to change. C.Young people's lack of interest in manual work. D.Over-protection of their traditional techniques. 48.How does Wave Murano Glass run its business? A.By adopting a diversified business model. B.By focusing on small-scale industrial orders. C.By producing customized artworks for the market. -D.By providing products for various brands and artists. 49.Why does Beltrami offer internships to young people? A.To cut down the daily costs of his workshop. B.To change Murano's traditional working style. C.To pass on and revive the traditional glass craft. D.To expand his team for larger commercial orders. 高三英语第6页共11页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描App (B) 3D Printing Modeling with Blender Pice:$1,299 Age:13-17 Skill level:beginner-advanced Duration:a week-long program,8 hours per day About this camp Sample schedule 3D printing technology has paved the way Here's a sample of what a week in this course for countless inventions.Dive deep into could look like.Keep in mind that students will Blender,a powerful 3D modeling and progress at varying paces,so this is meant to serve animation software used by industry creatives. as an outline of key materials and the overall You'll invent and model your own designs, experience. such as functional desk organizers and Monday An introduction to 3D Frinting imaginative characters.Then,transform them Tuesday Learning advanced design tools into tactile(有触感的)prints！Create key in Blender chains,small toys,or collectible pets.Plug in Wednesday Starting your own original your 3D models and watch them come to life. creation layer by layer on the print bed!At the end of Thursday Final projects print collection the week,you'll take home your entire Friday 3D art gallery collection of 3D prints.

A.They are craftsmen known for their hands-on experience B.They are professional statf selected through strict procedures C.They are passionate -volunteers from international organizations D.They are full-time university professors rich in teaching experience. (c) Researchers and policy makers have long studied pilot schemes()such as public health initiatives or innovative schools.They find the phenomenon ofthe pilot delivering satisfying results,only to fade at a larger scale.This depressing tendency was called "voltage drop"by the psychiatrist Amy Kilbourne and her coworkers in 2007. The economist John List has been exploring the cause of this voltage drop,first in 2019 paper with Omar Al-Ubaydli and Dana Suskind,then in a recent book,The Voltage Efect.So why does the voltage drop for so many promising ideas?One common problem is that the original effect was not real. Consider a famous experiment,conducted over 20 years ago by psychologists Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper,in which customers in a high-end supermarket were offered free samples of jam from a choice ofeither six or 24 flavours.The wider choice was dramatically de-motivating.Ten times as many people bought jam after being shown the smaller range. It is one of the most famous results in psychology;it has also proved rather difficult to repeat in follow-up experiments.Perhaps the effect is completely non-existent,or perhaps the effect exists but with nothing like the force exhibited in the original experiment.Does anyone seriously believe your local supermarket would sell 10 times as much produce ifonly it simplified its product line? Another source of voltage drop is when the original effect does not generalize beyond unusual 高三英语第8页共11页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap circumstances.My favourite example is the Arch Deluxe,a hamburger launched by McDonald's in 1996 with a marketing fanfare.The fast-food giant had every reason to expect success,because focus groups loved the Arch Deluxe's bakery-style rolls,peppered bacon and stoneground mustard-mayo dressing. The problems,says List,is that the focus group enthusiasts were not a good guide to the attitude of the typical consumer:"A person who signs up to take part in a McDonald's focus group is probably someone who is crazy about McDonald's or loves all kinds of burgers,or both.But the average person,it turns out,goes to MeDonald's for the Big Mac,not a fancier version ofone." Even if the idea is real,and generalizes to a wide audience,it may be difficult to repeat the performance once it ventures beyond the control ofthe original creative team.A pilot school may work well,but it is easier to hire 20 good teachers than 20,000.A brilliant chef can work in only one kitchen at a time. 53.Which of the following statements best describes "voltage drop"? A.A scheme has been piloted before being really carried out. B.Ascheme serves its intended purpose well on a large scale. C.A scheme works well when tested but fails when launched. D.A scheme like a health initiative is designed for a group of people. 54.What does the writer imply about the experiment conducted by Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper? A.It lasted too long a time. B.Its conclusion may not be reliable. C.Its follow-up experiments showed opposite results. D.It discouraged people from going to the supermarket. 55.The example of the Arch Deluxe is used in the passage in order to explain A.why the creativity of an idea matters a lot B.why an idea may not generalise to a larger group C.why McDonald's is not popular with average people D.why the attitude of the typical consumer varies 56.The passage talks mainly about A.why some great ideas fail B.how to avoid voltage drop C.how to make a workable plan D.why experimentation is important 高三英语第9页共11页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap Section C Directions:Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box.Each sentence can only be used once.Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A.There is plenty of evidence from numerous studies that eating breakfast is good for your healch. B It also pointed out that the alleged benefits for children are weak and largely observational. C.It found that although people who skip breakfast do eat more later in the day,they don't eat enough to make up for the calories they skipped early on. D.Does eating 'the most important meal of the day'help you stay healthy? E But just because people who skip breakfast tend to be less healthy,it doesn't mean that breaktast is the reason. B Caution is needed when recommending breakfast for weight loss in adults,as it could have the opposite effect. The Truth About Breakfast Is skipping breakfast a terrible way to start your day?Will you get hungry later,eat all the wrong things can put on weight?That is certainly what Public Health England and NHS guidelines currently say.But is it true? 57A study last year from the German Diabetes Centre in Dusseldorf,for example, found that when they compared a group of people who skipped breakfast with a group who ate breakfast,those who skipped it were not only heavier but were also 33 per cent more likely to have type2 diabetes(糖尿病)than those who didn't. 58 The fact is that people who regularly eat breakfast also smoke less.drink less and tend to be more active than those who skip breakfast,factors which are likely to be of much greater importance than when you decide to break your fast. The best way to resolve the question is to do randomised controlled studies in which you ask breakfast skippers to eat breakfast,and vice versa,and see what happens. The good news is that a large number of these studies have been done.The bad news,for the advocates of'breakfast is the most important meal of the day',is that randomised controlled trials have,on the whole,shown that getting people to eat breakfast may not serve the intended purpose. A large analysis recently published in the British Medical Journal pulled together results from a dozen studies.59 In fact,the scientists found that people who are asked to skip breakfast,on average,take in 260 高三英语第10页共11页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap印 kcal less a day than those who eat it.They also weigh,on average,0.44kg less.The researchers concluded that,.“n” So the message is,if you enjoy eating breakfast(as I do),then fine.But if you prefer to wait and break your fast later in the day,then no harm done.
