4、rusted experts from the American Library Association write all the book reviews. You can see parts of reviews for different books.

5、 sites online.

8、ey play it throughout their childhood, and they develop a bittersweet relationship with it. Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight? For me, it was.I started playing the piano when I was four-that was 15 years ago! This was huge c

9、ommitment, so there must have been something worth holding on to, right?The easy guess is that I was purely in love with music and piano. Although thats the sweeter tale, its a bit more complicated. I struggled a lot with piano. Family and peers were, at least in my own head, constantly placed besid

10、e me in competition. I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt. Hate sprouted (滋生) when my self-criticism hit too hard.Its difficu

11、lt to learn to love something that didnt originate from love. For a while, piano was more of an annoyance than a hobby. But somehow, love grew. It was deeply buried. But it was there, and by high school,it was strong enough that when I was truly on the verge of quitting any kind of formal training.

12、I found the strength to hold on tighter, and dig further. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who helped me tunnel into what I loved. I learned pieces for myself, I composed for myself, and I found confidence not because I got “good enough,” but because I learned that anything I h

13、ad was good enough.The love and hate Ive had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room.4. What does the author want to show

14、 by telling a classic story?A. The benefits of music.B. Kids struggle in learning instruments.C. Kids bittersweet childhood.D. The popularity of learning instruments.5.

16、e is a thing that grows.C. Content is better than riches.D. Chance favors the prepared mind.CAround the globe far more bird species are losing ground than gaining, according to an expansive review of a half-century of bird population research published in the journal Annual Review of Environment and

17、 Resources in May.The review, entitled The State of the Worlds Birds, showed that more than 5,200 different species of birds-just shy of half the worlds total-are known or suspected to be declining. Around 3,800 species are relatively stable, and fewer than 700 species show increases. Among birds on

18、 the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, almost 400 birds worldwide have had their conservation status changed for the worse in the past three decades (moving from vulnerable to threatened, or threatened to endangered) five times more than the number of bird species with an IUCN status that has cha

19、nged for the better.“After documenting the loss of nearly 3 billion birds in North America alone (according to a 2019 study published in the journal Science), it was disturbing to see the same patterns of population declines and extinction occurring globally,” says review coauthor Ken Rosenberg, a c

20、onservation scientist now retired from the Cormell Lab of Omithology.The review points to disappearing and degraded habitat-resulting from climate change, urbanization, agricultural intensification, and international trade-as the leading driver of bird declines worldwide. In a note of hope, the auth

21、ors cite a 2020 study indicating that restoring just 5% of habitat in priority areas around the world could avert 60% of likely extinctions.Lead author Alexander Lees, a research associate at the Cormell Lab, also points to the need for substantial changes in human behavior to prevent further losses

22、. “Loss and degradation of habitat is often driven by demand for resources,” says Lees. “We need to better consider how commodity flows such as beef, oil, and seed crops can contribute to biodiversity loss and try to reduce the human footprint on the natural world.”8. In what order are threatened sp

23、ecies arranged on the IUCNs Red List?A. Species quantity.B. Living habitat.C. Declining rate.D. Conservation status.9. How does Ken Rosenberg feel when saying the words?A Hopeful.B. Relieved.C. Doubtful.D. Concerned.10. What does the underlined “avert” mean in paragraph 4?A Prevent.B. Increase.C. Ca

24、use.D. Face.11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Extra reasons for bird extinction.B. Possible solutions to habitat loss.C. Substantial changes in human behavior.D. The prospect of biodiversity loss.DWhy do some men settle down to form families with the mothers of their children, and other

25、s dont? Biology plays a role. Work published by Lee Gettler of the University of Notre Dame, in Indiana, clarifies how testosterone, the principal male hormone (荷尔蒙), operates.Previous studies suggest that high levels of testosterone are bad for family life. Fathers with lower testosterone levels pr

26、ovide more child care while high-testosterone males are less likely to stick around. Dr Gettler has shown something further. This is that a mans adult testosterone level seems correlated with whether his father was present during his teenage years.His data come from a survey begun in the Philippines

27、 in 1983. This monitored the health and nutrition of 966 men enrolled as babies. It also collected extensive information on whether the fathers of these men were around and providing parental care in the households. It further documented whether participants got married had children and whether they

28、 participated in child care. Crucially, it also measured their testosterone levels at the ages of 21, 26 and 30.Overall, Dr Gettler and his colleagues found that on becoming fathers, men had lower testosterone levels if their own fathers had been involved in their care during their teenage years. It

29、 has two possible explanations. One is that it is directly genetic (基因的). The other is that teenage experience actually modulates (调节) testosterone levels. This explanation, which Dr Gettler favors, could lead to high-testosterone men abandoning their sons, who thus become high-testosterone in their

30、 turn.He also found some of those in the survey whose fathers were absent during their adolescence, and who ended up with high levels of the hormone, did become caring fathers. Why this pattern should exist is an unanswered question. But a zoologist looking at these data might take it as an example

31、of developmental plasticity (可塑性), in which the same genes produce different, but appropriate, outcomes in different circumstances.Dr Gettlers discovery throws a useful light on the problem of fatherless families,and how to try to end it.12. What is Gettlers study mainly about?A. Family life.B. Fath

32、ers roles.C. Adult testosterone.D. Child care.13. What can be learnt about Dr Gettlers study?A. It was conducted among babies.B. The finding is far from satisfactory.C. The data used were relatively reliable.D. It monitored the nutrition of participants.14. Why is the zoologist mentioned in the pass

33、age?A. To suggest a follow-up study.B. To contradict Gettlers ideas.C. To point out the study limitations.D. To give a possible explanation.15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Like Father, Like Son?B. Caring Father, Happy Son?C. Good Father, Good SonD. Love Me, Love My Son

In addition, elderly cats suffering from cognitive disfunction, similar to Alzheimers Disease

36、 (阿尔兹海默症) in humans, may meow due to becoming confused or disoriented, so we encourage you to schedule an appointment with us if your senior cat seems confused or is meowing more than usual.PurringWhile cats do purr as a sign of contentment, they also do it as a self-comforting mechanism when sick,

37、stressed or injured.

43、rens Hospital Los Angeles for a meeting. And he says it was weird: whenever he told someone he went to St. Francis High School, they all said, “Oh, you must know Jim Connor. Isnt he wonderful? ”“It was disbelief, really,” Pat says. “It was almost kind of finding this alter ego (另一面) that he has.” In

44、side the blood donor center, Pat found a plaque listing all the top blood donors at the hospital, including the record holder, Jim Connor. Then he learned something even more unbelievable: that whenever Connor isnt torturing kids with calculus (微积分), hes on a whole other tangent-cuddling sick babies

45、. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in become involved in an activity when parents cant, to hold, feed and comfort their children.“They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him.

50、CYesterday, after a day of Zoom (视频会议软件) meetings in my living room, I stepped out for a walk leaving my teen son bored on the couch. Bleecker Street, usually packed with people, was sprinkled with only the occasional pedestrians. Bars and restaurants lining the street were dark. Stores with bright

51、neon lights, doors open, beckoned for the rare passers-by to enter. After just a week of the Covid-19 pandemic, an afternoon walk in Greenwich Village neighborhood felt surreal.But then I noticed a row of daffodils(水仙)reaching for the sun in the small triangle-shaped park by Minetta Lane. On the win

52、dows of a locked restaurant, in bright yellow paint, were the words “We love you, West Village. Take care of each other. ” My phone buzzeda colleague sent a picture of her newborn baby just home from the hospital. I arrived home to find my son animated on the couch playing a video game virtually wit

53、h his friends. Life, love, play, and human connection persist, even though our world has been tuned upside down.In my welcome note to the new students in the Fall, I wrote that this year is about our colleges core values of inclusion, innovation, and impact and emphasized the power of interconnectio

54、n. Today, these core values persist, with interconnection taking on even greater significance.

55、ards in the middle of a game. We are halfway through the semester, with new hands to play, but the game hasnt changed. We will find new ways to continue to work, teach, create and learn.

60、le grew taller than 170 centimetres.Christiane Scheffler at the University of Potsdam and Michael Hermanussen in Altenhof have spent several years studying the height of people from a wide range of populations. In their latest paper, they combined an existing data of more than 6000 prehistoric human

61、 skeletons with multiple studies of more recent historical populations from Europe and the US. They also included their own data on 1666 present-day school children from Indonesia.In the prehistoric populations, the maximum height for men was 165 to 170 centimetres, while women topped out at 160cm.

62、Today, men in England have an average height of around 175 cm, while for women it is about 162 cm.But there is significant variation between modern countries. The Indonesian school children in the study were shorter than similarly aged children from the US, despite being well-nourished.Scheffler and

63、 Hermanussen argue that height can be a signal of dominance(显赫地位), so in societies where it is possible to move up through the social classes, evolution favours individuals who reach a greater height.Subramanian at Harvard University isnt convinced by the pairs interpretation. His team previously sh

64、owed that the best predictor of a childs height is the height of their parents. This suggests that the influence of other factors, such as social mobility, is limited.After assessing nearly 163,000 children living in 55 low and middle-income countries, Subramanians team found that 42.9 percent had p

65、oor nutrition but no sign of stunting(阻碍发育) or other physical indicators of this fact. This implies there is a lot of hidden malnutrition that doesnt reveal itself through stunting. A persons nutritional condition should be assessed by looking at their diet not their height, says Subramanian.12. How

66、 did Scheffler and Hermanussen conduct the research?A. Studying the skeletons of prehistoric human.B. Combining existing data with recent research.C. Assessing children living in various income areas.D. Analyzing the results of other scientists researches.13. Whats Subramanians attitude towards the

67、explanation of Scheffler and Hermanussen?A. Worried.B. Cautious.C. Doubtful.D. Supportive.14. What can we infer from Subramanians study?A. Poor nutrition delays physical development.B. A balanced diet contributes to growing taller.C. High social classes can reach a greater height.D. A humans height

68、has little to do with nutrition.15. What is the text mainly about?A. The significance that lies in nutrition.B. The factors that influence humans height.C. The importance that humans attach to height.D. The reasons why prehistoric humans were short.浙江省湖州、丽水、衢州三地市2022-2023学年高三上学期11月教学质量测试英语试题第一节(共15小

77、 her father with farm work before she could attend the small-town schoolhouse. Being a few years behind didnt hold her back and she graduated from high school with honors. Aware of her intelligence, she ran away from Ray to attend Minot State University as a chemistry major, where her skill was evid

78、ent. The outbreak of World War II resulted in a national shortage of chemists and scientists. In spite of the fact that she was still a student and a woman, she was offered a job as a chemical analyst due to her talents, producing explosives(爆炸物)for the wartime effort. She put her degree on hold and

79、 moved to Ohio, taking on the dangerous job of analyzing unstable chemicals to produce weapons. After the war ended there was a fall in demand for explosives, so she made a move to the field of aeronautics, moving to California to work for NAA(North American Aviation). The only woman out of 900 engi

80、neers, she was soon promoted to a role which involved calculating the performance of rocket propellants(推进剂)and designing speciality fuels to work with different engines. However, never having returned to complete her degree, she was not afforded the rank or higher pay of an engineer, even though sh

81、e had all the skills and knowledge of one. Her experience with propellants meant that when NAA was tasked to find a fuel capable of lifting the redesigned Redstone missiles into space, Mogan was appointed technical lead on the project. National pride was on the line, so Morgan set about investigatin

82、g fuels. After countless trails, she finally designed her own mixture, which was named Hydyne. Hydyne tested well with the Redstone missiles and subsequently other aircraft(飞行器), such as Jupiter-C rockets, proving to be a quick solution to getting to space without a total rocket redesign.

86、etermined.B. Courageous and creative.C. Intelligent but sensitive.D. Accomplished but proud.CScientists have solved a puzzle about modern humans, after research showed that a famous skull of a human ancestor found in South Africa is a million years older than experts thought. This discovery has chan

87、ged what we know of human history. The skull, which scientists have named “Mrs Ples”, is from an ape-like human relative from a species called Australopithecus africanus (南方古猿). It was found near Johannesburg in 1947 and, based on evidence from its surroundings, was thought to be between 2. 1 and 2.

88、 6 million years old. This puzzled scientists, because although Mrs Ples looks like a possible early ancestor of early humans, the first true humans had already evolved by the time she apparently lived. For this reason, scientists had decided that Australopithecus afarensis, a similar species from E

89、ast Africa that lived about 3.5 million years ago, was our most likely ancestor instead. To get a more accurate age for Mrs Ples, a team led by Professor Darryl Granger of Purdue University in Indiana, US, used a new method to date the sandy rocks where the skull lay. They measured the amount of cer

90、tain chemicals in rocks, which form at a steady rate when they are exposed to cosmic rays (宇宙射线) on Earths surface. Once rocks are buried, these chemicals stop forming and slowly disappear;the surviving amount reveals how much time has passed since the rock (or bones) were on the surface. The new st

91、udy shows that Mrs Ples and other australopithecine bones nearby are between 3.4 and 3.7 million years old. This means they lived at the same time as their East African relatives, so that either group could have given rise to modern humans. However, team member Dr Laurent Bruxelles pointed out that

92、over millions of years, at only 2,500 miles away, these groups had plenty of time to travel and to breed with each other. In other words, the groups could quite easily have met, had children together and both been part of the history of modern humans.28. What can we learn about Mrs Ples from the fir

93、st two paragraphs?A. It is a skull found in East Africa.B. It is the most possible ancestor of humans.C. It is a million years older than scientists expected.D. It is proved to live between 2.1 and 2.6 million years ago.29. How did scientists get the accurate age of “Mrs Ples”?A. By studying the eff

94、ect of cosmic rays.B. By calculating the forming rate of chemicals.C. By locating the sandy rocks where the skull lay.D. By measuring the surviving amount of chemicals.30. What can we infer from the new study?A. Modern humans came into being in East Africa.B. Mrs Ples travelled and had children with

95、 East African relatives.C. The history of modern humans might begin 3.5 million years ago.D Ape-like species from Africa could have interacted with each other.31. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Historical Puzzle UnsolvedB. Ancestor Mystery SolvedC. Mrs Ples: The Earli

96、est Human BeingD. Mrs Ples: A Famous SkullDHave you ever walked through a door and thought to yourself, “What was I going to do?” If you have, you are not alone. Psychologists believe that walking through a door and entering another room creates a “mental block” in the brain. This is generally refer

97、red to as the doorway effect. In the early years of brain research, scientists thought that human memory was like a closet, with many sections in which we could store little boxes of experiences from our lives. Boxes would remain there forever, and whenever we had to look into them, we could just go

98、 to that particular section and find that box of memory. Beautiful as this description of human memory formation sounds, it is not true. Our brain is much more complex than that. Psychological studies suggest that our memories are episodic(情节性的)in general. If you think back on anything, youll probab

99、ly quickly realize our memories dont function as clear narratives. Instead, theyre more episodic and divided into parts. A new research led by psychologist Oliver Baumann from Bond University in Australia suggests that its not so much the doorways that cause a memory wipe, as moving from one locatio

100、n to a significantly different oneits the abrupt change of scene that prepares our minds for something new. “A good example is moving around in a department store,” says Baumann, “Taking the elevator between floors may have no effect on our memory, but moving from the store to the parking lot might

101、cause us to forget something that we need to buy.”Baumann also points out that a busy and perhaps overloaded brain does seem to play some part in this phenomenon. In other words, walking through open doors is thought to reset memory to make room for a new episode. The good news is that experiencing

102、such forgettable episodes after entering another room does not tell you anything about your memory and intelligence. So when you enter a room and suddenly forget why you are there, you should not think that Alzheimers disease is creeping up on you!32. Which of the following would most probably be “d

103、oorway effect”?A. You missed a call and forgot to ring back.B. You read a book and forget what it is about.C. You entered the office and forgot what to get.D. You saw a man years ago and forget who he is now.33. What can we learn from the passage?A. All memories are linked in the brain.B. Memories a

104、re clearly separated in the brain.C. Not all the memories can be found in the brain.D. Memories are stored in particular sections of the brain.34. What can we infer from Baumanns research?A. Taking an elevator stimulates new memory.B. Walking through open doors results in memory loss.C. A sudden cha

122、 big public art pieces. The artist carves hundreds of 20 -centimeter-tall ice figures seated with their ankles crossed and places them atop outdoor steps and puts them in city squares all over the world, where they quickly melt. The faceless sculptures drip and pool into small puddles as time passes

123、. Her works have been adopted by environmentalists as a kind of activist art against climate change.But is it? Yes and (mostly) no.The mass of melting bodies makes a natural connection to the threat humankind faces due to rising global temperatures. Its close link with that subject is evident, said

124、the artist. In addition to the threat of global warming itself, the sheer number of sculptures sitting together also calls attention to the fact that we humans are all in it together. Such kind of threats also finally put man in his place, his fate is along with the destiny of the planet, and he is

125、not the king of nature, but an essential element of it, continues Azevedo on her website.I took every characteristic of traditional monuments and made the opposite, she says. I made small figures that sit on the floor. It doesnt honor anybody. It does honor the unknown.Azevedo explains, In a few-min

126、ute action, the rules of the monument are inverted: in the place of the hero, the unknown; in the place of the solidity of the stone, the momentary process of the ice; in the place of the monument size, the minimum size of the perishable (易毁坏的) bodies. Originally Azevedo wanted her art to get people

130、y Demanded of Activist ArtistsD. Mini Sculptures Echoing the Climate CrisisDLiving in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing a mental disorder, while living close to nature is largely beneficial for mental health and the brain. A central brain region, the amygdala (大脑杏仁核) involved in stre

131、ss processing, has been shown to be less activated during stress in people living in rural areas, compared to those who live in cities, hinting at the potential benefits of nature. But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be resolved, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brai

132、n or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions, says Sonja Sudimac.To achieve causal evidence, the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald fores

133、t or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin. The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature elicits beneficial effects on brain regions related to stress.The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature a

134、nd brain health, but this is the first study to prove the causal link. Interestingly, the brain activity after the urban walk in these regions remained stable and showed no increases, which argues against a commonly held view that urban exposure causes additional stress, explains Simone Khn, head of

135、 the group.The authors show that nature has a positive impact on brain regions involved in stress processing and that it can already be observed after a one-hour walk. This contributes to the understanding of how our physical living environment affects brain and mental health. Even a short exposure

136、to nature decreases amygdala activity, suggesting that a walk in nature could serve as a preventive measure against developing mental health problems and reducing the potentially disadvantageous impact of the city on the brain.In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populat

149、.A. tourist guides B. magazine editorsC. fashion designers D. vacation plannersBSix months ago, 28-year-old Danny Wallace, who earns his living as a TV comic and ideas man, had a great idea. What if he started his own country and invited anyone who wanted to join him to become a citizen? So, naming

150、himself King Danny I and declaring his one-bedroom flat in East London an independent state, he set about taking the necessary steps to make his dream come true. He even documented his progress in his BBC2 series How To Start Your Own Country, which comes to the end of its six-week run on Wednesday.

151、Over the six weeks, Danny explored the possibilities of forming his own country. The first thing on his agenda was to hand in his Declaration of Independence to the prime minister. With this out of the way, he was free to start thinking about writing a constitution and setting up a government. Then

152、he was off to design his own flag and record his own national anthem and even got someone to design possible postage stamps of his country, with his face on them!The final thing Danny had to do was to find a name for his country. At his request, citizens sent in thousands of suggestions as to what t

153、his new country could be called. Ideas ranged from Flatland to Wallaceland! But, in the end, the final selection came down to just two: Home or Lovely. Aiming to become the most democratic democracy in the world where its citizens have the opportunity to enjoy equality, King Danny achieved a world f

154、irst and let the people decide. Lovely finally stood out.Whether the country will continue to grow will very much depend on how busy its creator is. And, as Danny Wallace is much in demand for several other TV projects, it might fall to other members of his government to keep things running. But wit

The establishment of the University of Lovely.CIf, like me, youre the kind of person who finds it hard to make decisions, then Malcolm Gladwells Blink might just be the book you have been waiting for. Because Blink is all

159、 about rapid cognition that is, those moments when we make snap judgements, for example, when meeting someone for the first time or looking at something were thinking of buying.He analyses exactly what goes on in our heads when we make split-second decisions and compares this to the thought processe

160、s involved when we take longer to come to a decision. Interestingly he claims that, There are lots of situations - particularly at times of high pressure and stress - when fortunately haste does not make waste.What makes Blink a really interesting read is the number of stories that Gladwell includes

161、 to support his theories. One such story involves doctors in the Emergency Room at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. After told to change the way of diagnoses (诊断), instead of asking for information such as the patients age and weight and medical history, they were going to focus only on the patients

162、 blood pressure. And now Cook County is one of the best places in the US at diagnosing chest pain.Of course, there are occasions when we leap to the wrong conclusion. In his research, Gladwell discovered that almost all the CEOs of the top companies in the US are tall. There is no actual relationshi

163、p between height and intelligence, but for some reason, corporations overwhelmingly choose tall people for leadership roles. There is something going on in the first few seconds of meeting a tall person which makes us think of that person as an effective leader, which unfortunately stops us from mak

164、ing an informed decision.All in all, Blink is a fascinating study on an activity that we all do several times a day. Read it and make better decisions.28. What does the underlined word “snap” in the first paragraph mean?A. Instant. B. Decisive. C. Hesitant D. Important.29. How were doctors at Cook C

165、ounty Hospital able to make better diagnoses?A. By obtaining the patients medical history.B. By basing diagnoses on patients blood pressure.C. By abandoning regular ways of diagnosing patients.D. By inquiring about current health condition of the patients.30. What does the author suggest by mentioni

166、ng leadership roles of tall people?A. Tall people tend to be capable leaders.B. A persons height and intelligence are closely related.C. CEOs of top companies usually draw right conclusions.D. The first impression of a person can result in bad judgement.31. What is the purpose of the text?A. To hono

167、r a writer.B. To recommend a book.C. To introduce a research.D. To explain a phenomenon.DAeronautics (航空学) specialists from the University of South Australia spent months studying the dragonflys flight, creating 3D models from digital images, to build a winged drone (无人机). Study leader Javaan Chahl

168、believes that winged drones based on the dragonflys shape and movement will simply be more flexible and energy efficient.Chahls team used a special photography technique to classify the wing shapes of 75 different dragonfly species from museum collections. Their wings are long, light and hard. Plus,

169、 their long bodies give them excellent stability and balance, making it possible for winged drones to deliver awkward loads and undertake long observation missions.Investigating the way that dragonflies remain stable during flight actually reveals the techniques they use to get themselves out of tri

170、cky situations. Dragonflies are found to be able to perform upside-down backflips to regain balance and normal flight, when they find themselves upside down mid-air. This special skill can even be performed while dragonflies are unconscious, meaning it is a passive stability mechanism similar in con

171、cept to planes that are designed to glide to safety with their engines turned off. Engineers are looking to copy dragonfly wings to create safer drones that can right themselves.Of course, not all attempts to build dragonfly-like drones are successful. TechJets air vehicle was supposed to operate as

172、 an aerial camera, observation and security drone, but it failed before production got underway. Similarly, Insectothopter, an American dragonfly spy drone built in the 1970 s was deserted.Yet the principles behind winged drones are solid. In fact, NASA has settled on a nuclear-powered autonomous cr

173、aft called Dragonfly to explore the surface of Saturns moon Titan in 2034. NASAs project is actually an air vehicle, rather than a winged drone, but engineers are still convinced they can crack the code of natures most gifted flying insect and revolutionize unmanned flight along the way.32. Why did

174、aeronautics specialists spend months studying the dragonflys flight?A. To build 3D models from digital images.B. To make winged drones modelled after it.C. To clarify the flexibility and efficiency of drones.D. To display the shape and movement of the dragonfly.33.The special skill of dragonflies is
