D.Dates. & A local grocery store here has been remodeled and not a single one of the changes is good for those of us who shop there.The grocery aisles have been rearranged with some going in one direction and others going in another.The aisles have been pushed closer together,making it harder to get through them.It seems like all of these changes have been for the purpose of slowing the shoppers down so they will make more impulse buys.As I walked through the store today,no one was smiling and everyone was unhappy about it. The change that bothered me the most,however,was in the check-out aisles.Only a few cashiers were left working with huge sections changed into self-scanning check-outs.It saddened me to see this. I knew that people were probably going to lose their jobs because of this change.I got in a cashier aisle and patiently waited while I saw some other people struggling to figure out how the self-seanning machines worked.I swore at that moment never to use one myself even if I had to wait longer every time I shopped there. When I finally arrived at the front of the aisle,I saw the cashier was someone I knew.I greeted her with a smile.She smiled back with warmth and kindness that touched my soul.We chatted happily while she scanned and bagged up my groceries.I felt a friendship and a connection with her that warmed my heart.I wished her well before I left. Machines can do a lot for us,but there are many things they can't do.They can't smile or love. Only we can do that.It is time that we should realize that profits aren't more important than people and that machines aren't more important than us.It is time that we should learn that loving each other and this world is what life is all about. 24.Why were the grocery aisles pushed closer together,according to the author? A.To make room for more goods. B.slow shoppers down for more impulse purchases. C.To give the store a more modern look. D.To shorten the distance shoppers have to walk. 高二英语共10页第4页 25.By saying "even if I had to wait longer every time I shopped there,"the author means that A.he was willing to accept inconvenience to stand by his belief. B.he had no other choice but to queue for a long time. C.he doubted whether the machines could work properly. D.he expected the store to hire more cashiers at once. 26.What can be inferred about the cashier's smile in the author's eyes? A.It convinced him that the store still cared about customers. B.It stood for the human warmth that machines cannot replace. C.It encouraged him to complain about the self-checkout D.It reminded him of a friendship he had long forgotten. 27.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Changes in a Local Grocery Store B.Machines Can't Smile C.The Cost of Self-service D.A Warm Chat with a Cashier C Most metals change when they are exposed to air.Iron turns into rust ()and copper develops a green surface over time.Gold,however,seems different.It can remain bright and nearly unchanged for thousands of years.A recent study has revealed a reason why gold is so resistant to damage Scientists found that the surface atoms of gold can change their positions,forming a special structure that makes the surface less likely to react with oxygen.This change prevents oxidation,the process that causes many metals to lose their original appearance.Without this natural protection,gold would start to react with oxygen within seconds after being exposed to air. To understand this process,researchers studied how easily gold surfaces could break oxygen molecules apart.Oxygen in the air usually exists as pairs of oxygen atoms.For oxidation to happen, these pairs must first be separated,and then the oxygen atoms can combine with the metal and form a new layer on its surface. The researchers focused on two common arrangements of gold atoms.When a new gold surface appears,such as after the metal is cut,the toms can move and form a different pattern.One pattern is square-shaped,.while the other is closer to a hexagonal(六边形的)shape.Using computer calculations,the scientists found that the square pattern allows gold to react with oxygen more easily. The hexagonal pattern,however,made this process much harder because the atoms would need to move back into their original positions first. The study also showed that even if gold does react with oxygen under special conditions,it would only create a very thin layer.The discovery helps scientists better understand how the surfaces of metals work and may improve the design of materials used to speed up chemical reactions. 高二英语共10页，第5页 According to the researchers,the difference caused by such small changes in atomic positions was surprising.After the atoms rearrange themselves,gold's reaction with oxygen can become hundreds of millions of times slower.This explains why gold can keep its beauty while many other metals gradually change. 28.What helps prevent gold from oxidizing? A.A thick layer of oxygen. B.Its bright and shiny color. C.The separation of oxygen pairs. D.Its surface atoms'rearrangement. 29.What is special about the hexagonal pattern according to the text? A.It slows down oxidation. B.It allows gold to react easily. C.It forms a thick surface layer. D.It separates oxygen pairs quickly. 30.What is a possible application of this study? A.Finding more gold in nature. B.Changing the color of metals. C.Stopping iron from rusting forever. D.Designing better chemical materials. 31.What is the best title for the text? A.Why Metals Rust in the Air B.Why Gold Stays Shiny for So Long C.How to Protect Metals from Oxygen D.How Metals React When Exposed to Air 0 You go on a beach trip or look out the airplane window,and you could swear the ocean is looking a bit teal ()Is the ocean getting greener?It is,according to a recent study in Nature. “The ocean is getting greener because there is more phytoplankton(浮游植物)，which contain the pigment chlorophyll(光合色素)that absorbs blue and red light,,”said Chris Robbins,.associate director of science at the Ocean Conservancy. Moreover,over the past 20 years,there has been a significant greening of the oceans,according to the study.The likely contributor is greenhouse gas emissions."Emissions are heating up the ocean, resulting in a sharper temperature differential that is dividing the ocean into a shallower warm layer and deeper cold layer,"Robbins explained,"This prevents the transfer of nutrients from the ocean depths to surface waters where phytoplankton live,"he explained.Having fewer nutrients could favor phytoplankton species,meaning they gather at the surface and make the ocean appear greener. However,this greening isn't dangerous to people."There is no indication that the increases in phytoplankton species causing the greening effect are harmful,Robbins said.Scientists are still trying to figure out what this green trend might mean for fish and other sea life."It could hurt some species while benefiting others,"Robbins said."If the newly dominant algae cannot be eaten by animals that rely on algae for food,there could be spread effects,with some species losing and some winning,"Robbins added."It could reorganize predator-prey dynamics."If certain in-demand fish don't fare well in this new Hunger Games scenario,it could mean a seafood shortage. 高二英语共10页第6页 "If we want to reverse the shift and the changes in the ocean's ecosystem,we need to focus on replacing fossil fuels with clean energy,"Robbins said.In addition,scientists are working to pinpoint the exact changes in the ocean.Ongoing studies could shed more light on what else is going on under the sea and how it will ultimately impact all of us. 32.What accounts for the greener ocean? A.The sharp decline in marine biodiversity. B.The huge expansion of algae near coasts. C.The massive nutrient transfer between oceans. D.The growing surface algae due to greenhouse gases. 33.Which of the following best describes the impact of ocean greening? A.Destructive. B.Uncertain. C.Harmless. D.Beneficial. 34.What does Robbins suggest about reversing ocean ecosystem changes? A.Switching to clean energy. B.Using more fossil fuels C.Reducing ocean pollution. D.Controlling ocean greening. 35.What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage? A.To promote the use of clean energy. B.To advocate marine life protection. C.To explore the greening of the ocean. D.To propose solutions to ocean pollution 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 You may think yourself a bit of a superhero for tackling emails while cooking the family dinner. Though many of us fancy ourselves as multitaskers,only 2.5%are able to do it effectively.36 Multitasking requires brains to move quickly between tasks,which may cause an overload of information,meaning we miss crucial facts.This is where monotasking-or "deepwork"-comes in. 37While it might feel exciting to be busy,you could actually be wearing out your brain.The extra cognitive (effort of switching between tasks can be tiring and can increase stress,reduce concentration and efficiency in the longer term.Our brains find it difficult to carry out tasks in the meantime and,instead,perform them in an order.38 Running on empty.Our tendency to handle a variety of work tasks puts us at risk of burning out. 39 Burnout can be caused by anything that demands constant,,overwhelming(压倒性的) energy.When work and life pressure increases,individuals will often multitask,but the overwhelming nature of taking on too much can result in exhaustion.

Fat clumps (of white,like a million cotton balls,landed on our car and stuck there.Unlike our usual chatty trips,the car was quiet.Cody had a high fever at Grandma's house that afternoon.Grandma lived in a remote village with no easy medical help,so we had to rush back to the city to see a doctor. In the hour since we'd left Grandma's house,the weather was worse. "It's getting harder to see anything,"Dad whispered to Mom. Mom nodded,glancing back at Cody worriedly."The forecast mentioned snow showers,but this looks more serious..” I pressed my face against the cold window.A car followed us closely behind.On the passenger seat was a medical kit with a faint white cross.Doctors often use such bags for home visits,but I didn't know the driver was a doctor then. Suddenly,our car slid to the side.My heart pounded.Dad managed to straighten the wheel and stay on the road."We need to drive off and wait out this storm.Cody will get worse in this condition. But I can barely see the road,let alone an exit,"Dad said. “Dad,a sign!”I shouted.High in the sky,the sign of a restaurant blinked(闪烁)：EAT HERE. "Are you sure,Kenny?"Dad asked and slowly pulled over to check. Then,through the thick snow,I saw the lights of that car coming up behind us.It slowed down and stopped aside ours.Its window rolled down."Need help?"The driver leaned out and asked. "Do you know how to get there?"Dad pointed to the sign and said urgently. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右；（2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 "I'm heading there,too.Follow me!"He shouted.
