Dear Mike, Your situation is understandable, and I'd like to offer some suggestions to help you adapt to life and study in Shanghai. First, adjust to local food gradually. Try a small portion of Shanghai cuisine each day and combine it with familiar dishes. Exploring food with classmates may also help you feel more at home. Second, communicate actively with your classmates and join campus activities. Regular interaction with local students can not only improve your Chinese but also build a supportive network. Third, prepare carefully for Chinese-taught courses. Preview the materials before class, take notes, and ask for clarification when necessary. Extra preparation will reduce your anxiety and help you follow the lectures confidently. Finally, remain patient and stay positive. Adjustment takes time, but as long as you take small steps, you will soon enjoy your university life here. 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2023学年第二学期 高三年级英语学科4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. Maximise your recycling Contrary to common belief, not all plastics can be recycled. A 2018 study from the University of Leeds found that only 16 per cent of household plastics 1          (collect) for recycling ended up being sent for processing. According to Dr Sharon George, lecturer in green technology and environmental sustainability at Keele University, many local authorities don't have the facilities 2          (recycle) all types of plastic, and so much of the waste ends up being burnt in waste-to-energy plants instead. According to George, we need to make sure that the right things are getting recycled just 3          being a little bit careful. Plastic recycling 4          easily be contaminated (污染) with the wrong type of plastic. "A lot of waste gets rejected because it's been contaminated with plastic or other materials 5          shouldn't be in there," George says. Food packaging is especially easy to contaminate. "This is a big reason the value of the waste goes down," says George. "It can be contaminated by 6          (not wash) out." Removing the contaminants from the rest of the material also 7          (cause) problems: according to an analysis of recycling contamination by analytics firm Croner-I, attempting to remove a single contaminant takes several kilograms of recyclable material along with 8         . The biggest thing you can do is be aware of 9          can and can't be recycled in your local area, says George. Don't assume that something can be recycled just 10          it's plastic. "That definitely makes it worse. That can then potentially mean that a whole collection then gets rejected, and either burnt or sent to landfill," she explains. 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. digitally B. disconnection C. extension D. inaccuracies E. inappropriate F. misled G. needed H. parental I. shared J. successfully K. symptoms The Impact of Social Media on Children and Adolescents Engaging in social media is a routine activity that has been shown to benefit young people by enhancing communication and social skills. Social media sites offer multiple opportunities for connecting with friends and people with 11          interests. Many parents today use technology well and feel comfortable with the programs that their children are using. Nevertheless, some may find it is difficult to relate to their 12          smart youngsters. Such parents may lack a basic understanding of these forms of socialisation, which are part of children's lives. Frequently, they do not have the technical abilities 13          to keep pace with their children in their ever-changing internet habits. In addition, these parents often lack a basic understanding that children's online lives are a(n) 14          of their offline lives. The result can be a knowledge and skill gap, which creates a(n) 15          in how these parents and their children relate. Social media sites allow young people to accomplish online many of the tasks that are important to them offline: staying connected with friends and family, making new friends, and exchanging ideas. Older students also use social media to connect with one another on school work. For example, some schools 16          use blogs (博客) as teaching tools, which has the benefit of reinforcing skills in written expression and creativity. Adolescents are also finding that they can access online information about their health concerns easily and anonymously (匿名地). Excellent health resources are increasingly available to youth on topics such as stress reduction. However, because of their young age, adolescents can encounter 17          during these searches. So they may require 18          involvement to be sure they are using reliable online resources, interpreting the information correctly, and not becoming 19          by what they are reading. When people go onto websites, they can leave evidence of their visits. Young people who lack an awareness of privacy issues often post 20          material without understanding that "what goes online stays online". As a result, future jobs and college acceptance may be put in danger by inexperienced clicks of the mouse. 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. I decided to retire my personal social website account. It all began with a detailed review of my own Instagram account. I worked out that more than 80 per cent of the photos I had posted featured my 21         . In some ways this seemed 22         . If social websites are for a simple game of showing off, these two are clearly my pride. Next, however, I examined my husband's post for 23         . In real life, he loves the kids no less than I do. Yet between his two social website accounts, they featured in only about 25 per cent of his photos. The 24          was split between a) kitchens he had designed and b) vinyl (黑胶) records he had purchased (the former being his job, the latter his addiction). We divide our time between work and childcare in comparable proportions. Yet the 25          suggested by our online selves was quite different. According to Katrin Tiidenberg, associate professor of social media and visual culture at Tallinn University, who is publishing a forthcoming book called Sex and Social Media, this is because men and women often have different 26          for sharing information on social media. When my husband posted a photo of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska on vinyl, his aim was 27         , my conversation with Tiidenberg implied. As the words on his post suggested, he mainly wanted the world to know that the 1982 album is: "so good". When I posted a photo of our daughter eating fish fingers in fancy dress, sure, I was 28         . She looked amazing. I was hoping that her star quality might reflect, just a little, on me. But according to Tidenberg: "Women tend to use social media as a tool to maintain their social 29         . They take those into account when they post and when deciding how they post." A photo of a five-year-old in fancy dress, 30         , doesn't just say: "so good". It can, meanwhile, say: "Hello godmother, who we feel guilty for cancelling on the other day", "Hello cousins, who are now in Australia and feel a little disconnected..." Tiidenberg is careful to stress that she's "not making any essentialist argument" about women and men's 31          for either type of content. Instead, she argues, women have always been trained to take responsibility for cultivating and managing social networks: "They're told it's what they're 32         ." In the distant pre-digital past, women were 33          guardians of the family photo album. And even today, says Tidenberg, a division of 34          labour endures within many families in our offline worlds: "Who remembers people's birthdays, sends your mother a card and buys the Christmas presents?" The knowledge that I had also 35          responsibility for the online equivalent made me feel angry. 21. A. children B. work C. addiction D. hobbies 22.

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） In the animal kingdom, not getting eaten is a top priority. To this end, some species have developed weapons, such as a painful sting or a deadly bite, and warn other creatures of this fact with bright colors and patterns. Others, lacking weapons themselves, employ a foxier strategy. They simply copy the warning signs of a truly deadly creature, and as a result of this fakery, are left well alone. This phenomenon has been named Batesian mimicry after the scientist Henry Bates, who first observed it in the mid-1800s. While collecting butterflies in Brazil, Bates observed that a number of common, slow-flying butterflies were being ignored by predators even though they were easy catches. He guessed that these butterflies must taste disgusting and that predators had learned to avoid them as a result. He later observed that certain rare butterflies of different species shared color patterns with these bad-tasting butterflies. He concluded that the rare butterflies must gain some level of protection from the resemblance. Predators had come to connect certain color patterns with a nasty eating experience, and the rare butterflies had evolved to take advantage of this fact. Instances of Batesian mimicry can be found all over the animal kingdom. The harmless king snake, for example, unlike the inflexible rat snake, has developed a color pattern that is almost identical to that of the deadly coral snake. One look at the distinctive red, yellow, and black bands on a king snake is enough to make predators think twice about eating it, just in case it packs a venomous bite like its near twin. Similarly, many species of flies have the same black-and-yellow stripes as bees and wasps. Eager to avoid getting stung, most predators will stay well clear, though in fact these flies have no stingers to speak of. These examples show that animals don't have to pack deadly weapons to survive in nature. Sometimes, just pretending to be dangerous is good enough to make predators keep their distance. For these accomplished Batesian mimics, there's really no shame in faking it! 36. Which of the following is an example of a Batesian mimic? A. A harmless animal with colored patterns that help it hide easily. B. A harmless animal with the distinctive pattern of a deadly one. C. Dangerous animals with fatal weapons. D. Dangerous animals with bright colors. 37. What did Henry Bates find while observing butterflies in Brazil? A. Rare butterflies usually don't taste good. B. Butterflies in Brazil share similar color patterns. C. The slower the butterfly flies, the worse it tastes. D. Predators ignore some slow-flying butterflies. 38. Why is the king snake mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To explain what Batesian mimicry is. B. To prove how clever the king snake is. C. To illustrate how rare Batesian mimicry is. D. To warn what distinctive colors represent. 39. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To educate people how to recognize dangerous animals. B. To introduce the ways to survive in the animal kingdom. C. To illustrate the Batesian mimicry phenomenon in animals. D. To emphasize what should be the priority in the animal kingdom. （B） Trains powered by human waste and discarded food will be introduced to Britain's railway for the first time under plans to eliminate dirty diesel (柴油机) engines gradually. A full-size "BioUltra" train capable of carrying 120 passengers is being developed as part of government-backed proposals to cut air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The lightweight, low-cost train will be fuelled using biomethane--a renewable gas made from organic waste--combined with a battery pack. It will run on existing lines but cause less damage to tracks because of the light frame, cutting maintenance bills. The BioUltra train is being developed by Ultra Light Rail Partners, a group of experts from the rail industry and Birmingham City University. The group has developed a 10-metre long, 12-tonne "mini-train" capable of carrying up to 60 people. It has been awarded a £60,000 grant from Innovate UK, the government agency, for a feasibility study into a full-size version. The new railcar will be 20 metres long with space for 62 passengers seated and 58 standing. It will weigh 20 tonnes without passengers, less than half that of a normal diesel. It will be propelled using locally produced biomethane, which is generated from waste from humans, pigs, and cows as well as plants and discarded food. It produces no nitrogen dioxide, the poisonous gas emitted from diesel engines, and results in a net reduction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The biomethane tanks beneath the middle of the railcar will power two 0.9-litre engines--each smaller than that on a typical car--at either end. Despite the fuel, it produces no smell or dangerous emissions, improving the experience of passengers and lineside residents. It will be almost silent and about three times as efficient as diesel. The train will have a top speed of 50mph and a range of 2,000 miles on a full tank. 40. Which of the following statements is true of a full-size "BioUltra" train? A. It is 10 metres long and weighs 12 tonnes. B. It can carry more passengers than a regular train. C. It can run faster and farther than its earlier version. D. It is powered by electricity generated from organic waste. 41. The picture (see right) illustrates a full-size "BioUltra" train. The part labelled with ________ is the biomethane tanks. A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4 42. What is the passage mainly about? A. A renewable gas. B. An eco-friendly train. C. An original means of transport. D. A newly-built railway. （C） When antibiotics (抗生素) first became available, farmers used them freely. Now scientists know that the overuse of antibiotics can cultivate drug-resistant bacteria that are dangerous to human health. Among debates over what kinds of restrictions should be put in place, figuring out how antibiotic-resistant bacteria evolve and make their way to humans remains an area of intense interest. Jo Handelsman is tracing one such pathway that, as she puts it, travels from "farm to table." Handelsman, a microbiologist who is now associate director for science at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, looked into dairy cows, which are often treated with antibiotics and produce manure (排泄物) that farmers use on their crops. In addition to nutrients, that fertilizer may harbor antibiotic-resistant bacteria--a problem because the bacteria can come into contact with plants that are finally shipped to supermarkets and sometimes eaten raw. To find out how those antibiotic-resistant bacteria come to exist, Handelsman and her colleagues at Yale University added manure from a nearby Connecticut farm to raised beds of soil in 2013. In this case, the manure specifically came from cows that were not treated with antibiotics. The researchers unexpectedly found that there were more soil bacteria carrying antibiotic-resistant genes when they were grown with the manure than when they were grown with synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer--even though the cows were drug-free. Previous research has found that manure from pigs treated with antibiotics contains resistant bacteria, but the cow-pie results suggest there are more factors promoting resistance besides antibiotic use. Something about manure itself may encourage naturally resistant bacteria to increase. The findings should not, however, give the impression that resistance is everywhere, notes Lance Price, a microbiologist at George Washington University (who was not involved in the study). "We can control this. There's very clear evidence that when we turn off the antibiotic tap, we bring down drug-resistant bacteria," says Lance. Next on the farm-to-table schedule, Handelsman will test whether radishes grown in soil treated with cow manure are capable of taking up resistant genes from bacteria through their vascular system (循环系统). "They have veins (血管) just like us," she says. "We don't have any evidence yet that they're taking up the bacteria, but it's a really interesting possibility." 43. What does Jo Handelsman's research focus on? A. How antibiotics make their way onto our table. B. What restrictions should be put to antibiotics use. C. How antibiotic-resistant bacteria reach human beings. D. What damage the overuse of antibiotics does to humans. 44. What did Jo's research find? A. Drug-free cows produced manure with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. B. Synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer did more good to the environment. C. Soil bacteria carrying antibiotic-resistant genes were increasing with time. D. Manure from pigs treated with antibiotics contained fewer resistant bacteria. 45. Lance Price is quoted in the passage in order to A. provide more evidence that drug-resistance bacteria are dangerous B. suggest another possible explanation to the antibiotics problems C. emphasize the importance of feeding cows with no antibiotics D. show that the research findings may not be that worrisome 46. Which of the following statements is Jo most likely to agree with? A. It is very likely that widespread resistance to antibiotics is not inevitable. B. Plants grown in soil fertilized with cow manure may contain drug-resistant genes. C. There is possibility that radishes take up resistant genes wherever they are planted. D. The vascular system plays a key role in guarding radishes against bacteria. 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. Washing the dishes 'can help you live longer in later years' A. It is said that higher levels of any physical activity help keep off an early grave. B. The studies did not rely on self-reporting, which, the experts noted, could be unreliable. C. The latest study backs up previous research suggesting reducing time spent sitting still is beneficial. D. However, the study had limitations. E. A short period of intense activity is viewed as beneficial as much longer periods of lesser activity. F. The team found a greater volume of activity overall was linked to a lower risk of death. Even a small increase in light activity, such as washing dishes or a little gentle gardening, might help lower the risk of an early death among older adults, researchers say. "It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial," said Ulf Ekelund, a professor and first author of the study at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences. However, the study finds that there is more "bang for your buck" if you engage in intense activity compared with light activity. 47          Published in the BMJ, the latest research involved a review of eight studies encompassing a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years. Participants were followed for five to six years; 2,149 deaths were recorded. Crucially, all of the studies involved monitoring the physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers. 48          For each study participants were split into four equal-sized groups, based on the total amount of time spent active, and the risk of death assessed, taking into account factors such as age, gender, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. This was then repeated for an amount of activity at different levels of intensity. The results were analysed together to give an overview. 49          The results held for different intensities of activity. The team said the study supported the message "sit less and move more and more often". 50          It only looked at the situation for middle age and older adults, most of whom lived in the US or Europe, and some of the effect could be due to those people with a higher risk of death being less likely to engage in physical activity. Physical activity levels also were only measured over one period of time. 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. The Internet of (Bad) Things Don't be fooled by its boring-sounding name: the Internet of Things (IoT). Actually, the IoT is a revolution in the making. It is a global network of devices that have been connected and able to exchange data with each other. Everything from TVs to lights to cars to... well, you name it. So soon your car will drive you to your destination, find the best parking spot, tell your house when you're returning home, get the heating and dinner on, while your wristband monitor tells your TV what mood you're in and fixes the night's entertainment. Can't wait for the arrival of this day--or left cold by it? It makes no difference: it's coming your way. Frankly, I'd rather put the central heating on myself than have that IoT knowing more about me. But that's not my biggest concern about the IoT. Relatively speaking, they're the good guys. What bothers me is that in the race to roll out this tech, too little is being done to keep out the bad guys. Most of the underlying technology is scarily primitive (原始的). And with time, the IoT will no doubt become the target of choice among hackers and terrorists. Security experts are warning that the IoT already links together hundreds of millions of devices that are easy to attack. The resulting threat isn't theoretical, either: one tech company recently exposed this by using the IoT to hijack baby monitors, spy remotely and take control of home computers. Meanwhile, the IoT grows ever larger: industry estimates suggest that within five years it will have connected up 10 times more devices than there are humans on Earth. So what can we do? I believe that our best hope lies in the good old-fashioned internet. We can use this to detect and alert each other to all the devices that threaten our safety and privacy. In short, we need to flip the threat from the IoT around, and make sure big businesses know we are keeping tabs on them. IV.
