SeaWorld San Antonio Vacation Package. 57. Hersheypark Vacation Package is attractive in that it includes ______. A. free accommodation B. various milk chocolates C. thrilling roller coaster rides D. amusing animal performances B People are more willing to change their mind about people they initially hold. Common wisdom holds that negative first impressions are hard to shake—and some research backs this up. But such studies often unfairly compare impressions based on immoral deeds that are extreme and relatively rare with impressions based on kindnesses that are more common. A new set of studies involving precisely balanced behaviors finds that people are more willing to change their mind about individuals who initially come off as selfish than about those they think selfless. In three of the experiments, 336 laboratory and online participants read about two people who each made a series of 50 decisions regarding how many electric shocks to give someone in exchange for money. One fictional subject required more money per shock than the average person did to inflict (施加) pain on others. The other’s price-per-shock threshold (界限) was comparably lower than the average person’s. Study participants read about each subject’s decisions one at a time. Before seeing each decision, they predicted what it would be. After every three decisions the fictional subject made, participants rated the individual on a scale from “nasty” to “nice,” and then specified their confidence in the rating. As expected, participants rated the person who gave shocks for a lower price as nastier than the higher-price shocker. But they expressed less confidence in the “nasty” ratings, and their predictions of how many shocks that person would give fluctuated (波动) more. In other words, their beliefs about the “bad” subject were more changeable. “A well-designed brain system would not write someone off completely at the first sign of trouble,” says Molly Crockett, a psychologist at Yale University. The test scenarios (情况) are a far cry from real-world interactions. Still, the experiment offers “a really elegant pattern that drills down on a question that’s so central to our everyday human life,” says Peter Mende-Siedlecki, a psychologist at the University of Delaware. 58. According to the passage, what does the new set of studies find? A. Bad first impressions may be lasting. B. Bad first impressions are not set in stone. C. People often judge others by first impressions. D. People are reluctant to change first impressions. 59. What are the researchers’ findings based on? A. The number of electric shocks someone was given. B. Some specific laboratory and online questionnaires. C. Comparisons between decisions made by two subjects. D. An analysis of information collected from participants. 60. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 means “______”. A. very secure B. much different C. completely hidden D. almost withdrawn C For many, scientific innovations tend to be welcome advancements that improve our lives. For some, however, new technologies bring risk of uselessness, in turn leading to great resistance. With the climate crisis unfolding before our eyes, the race is on to find alternatives that will help humanity leave a smaller footprint on our planet. Because of animal agriculture’s leading role as a greenhouse gas emitter, the search for more sustainable protein sources could be one such alternative. As food tech companies use science to unlock the potential of plant proteins, they’re producing increasingly better plant-based meats and milks that look and taste like the real thing, but with a much lower carbon footprint. Some in the meat industry are supporting the new and investing in these alt-protein companies. For some lawmakers, however, these innovative products don’t deserve support; they deserve restriction. Missouri State, for example, recently passed a bill making it a crime punishable by imprisonment for companies to call their products “meat” if they don’t come from an animal. So why the mania (狂热) over meat and milk all of a sudden? Was there a consumer who brought home some pies labeled “plant-based meat” only to realize he was tricked? Did confused milk-drinkers file complaints with the Department of Agriculture when they found out their soymilk didn’t contain actual milk? There really are some consumers who are truly confused. Surveys show, however, that number is remarkably small. If anything, consumers are choosing these plant-based products specifically because they think they’re better for them than the original products. And they have good reason to believe that plant-based milks and meats usually have less fat and more fiber than comparable animal-based foods. So, consumers aren’t confusing “veggie bacon” for real bacon; and if they don’t think chicken nuggets have the same nutritional value as “chicken-free nuggets”, then why do some meat and milk groups want a monopoly (垄断) over the M-words? Could it have to do with the fact that the increasing popularity of these foods, which are more sustainable and better for you, is threatening the profits of their constituents? And with the future of our civilization hanging in the balance as climate change becomes more severe, it’s time for policy makers to stop trying to prevent innovation, and instead to celebrate all the ways science can save us, including with sustainable proteins that can and do produce new kinds of meat. 61. What can be learned about the M-word applied to plant-based substitutes? A. They are environmentally friendly. B. They are innovative and widely accepted. C. They have been restricted across America. D. They have been produced in large quantities. 62. From the passage we can learn that consumers ______. A. have sufficient faith in new science and technology B. prefer the original products to the plant-based products C. buy the plant-based products for their great benefit to health D. often get confused by the composition of the new kind of meat 63. According to the author, some people resist the new kind of food probably because _____. A. it contains no real meat B. it brings risks to society C. it plays a trick on customers D. it poses a threat to their profits 64. What’s the author’s attitude towards the plant-based products? A. Supportive. B. Cautious. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving D As John George remembers it, the Detroit neighborhood he grew up in was straight out of Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life. “We knew all our neighbors,” George, 60, told Detroit’s Metro Times. “On Christmas Eve, we’d all go to midnight Mass, and there would be 300 people in our house at one o’clock to about five in the morning. The folks were just really good, hardworking people.” By the ’80s, however, the old neighborhood was more Pottersville than Bedford Falls. Due in part to economic downturns and a nationwide drug epidemic (泛滥), well-kept homes had been abandoned and kindly neighbors had fled to the suburbs. But not George. “Living in any city, it’s like being in a relationship,” he told Reader’s Digest. “Some days are better than others. But it was my home. And when I saw it deteriorating, I had two choices: I could leave, or I could stay and fight. I decided to stay and fight.” When the abandoned home behind his turned into a crack den, the father of two grabbed some plywood and nails and began boarding up the house. After two neighbors stopped to ask what he was doing, they decided to help, with great results. “When the drug dealers came back, they turned around and went home,” says George. “That’s how it all got started.” “It” is Detroit Blight Busters, or DBB, an organization of civic-minded volunteers devoted to reviving the city they love, one abandoned house, one vacant lot, and one garbage-strewn park at a time. In the 30 years since that first home rescue, an army of approximately 182,000 volunteers, along with corporate and private donors, has helped George destroy around 300 abandoned homes, mostly in the poorer Northwest area of Detroit. They’ve also secured 400-some homes by boarding them up, thus keeping bad actors out. They’ve painted and renovated nearly 900 homes and built over 100 from scratch. According to Forbes, more than 1,000 Detroiters have been housed as a result of DBB’s work. “I’m half Lebanese, half Italian, and 100 percent Detroit stubborn,” George told nationswell.com. “Once we get something in our heart and in our head, it’s almost autopilot.” But that was only the beginning. In 2003, George also breathed life into a dilapidated (破旧的) square mile of Detroit by turning it into Artist Village, an area now filled with galleries, a performance space, community gardens, a coffee shop, and outdoor courtyards. Because this region of North Detroit was a food desert, George also persuaded a supermarket chain to move into the neighborhood. “Blight is like a cancer: If you don’t set upon it, it will spread,” George told thehubdetroit.com. And then there’s Halloween. In Detroit, October 30 was ruefully known as Devil’s Night, a period when all hell would break loose in the form of crime and vandalism. In response, George created a citizens’ patrol (巡逻队) that would take to the streets, keeping an eye on suspicious behavior. He called it Angels’ Night. What began with 12 neighbors on patrol in 1990 has grown to more than 60,000 citywide. George’s inspired ideas have not gone unnoticed by the city he loves. “John wants to show that there is still something to Detroit. That it’s still worth it,” says real estate agent Robert LaBute. And others are buying into it. “We’re seeing the trend of younger homeowners coming in.” Is George proud of having boosted his once-ailing hometown? You’d better believe he is. As he puts it: “We are on the front porch of the greatest urban comeback story in this nation’s history.” 65. Why was John George reluctant to leave Detroit? A. He wanted to save his city. B. He enjoyed a wonderful life. C. He stayed to fight against drugs. D. He got along with his neighbors. 66. What was the result of the first home rescue? A. An official organization was founded. B. A voluntary movement began with it. C. A better neighbor relationship was formed. D. The drug dealers mended their ways at last. 67. The data provided in Paragraph 5 suggest that ______. A. many people have been lifted out of poverty B. many abandoned homes have been destroyed C. DBB has done a lot to bring the city back to life D. the number of the volunteers has been increasing 68. What did John George do to revive the city of Detroit ? A. He transformed the city into an industrial area. B. He created a citizen’s patrol to prevent crimes. C. He expanded investment in real estate business. D. He built a supermarket chain in the neighborhood. 69. According to the passage, John George can be described as ______. A. cautious and creative B. stubborn and ambitious C. proud and self-centered D. strong-willed and inspiring 70. What’s the best title for the passage? A. The Life of a Hero B. Detroit’s Proud Tiger C. The Power of Devotion D. The Blooming of Detroit 第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。 Why Do Smart People Do Foolish Things? We all probably know someone who is intelligent but does surprisingly stupid things. What does it mean to be smart or intelligent? Our everyday use of the term is meant to describe someone who is knowledgeable and makes wise decisions, but this definition is at odds with how intelligence is traditionally measured. The most widely known measure of intelligence is the intelligence quotient, more commonly known as the IQ test, which includes visuospatial puzzles, math problems, pattern recognition, vocabulary questions and visual searches. The advantages of being intelligent are undeniable. Intelligent people are more likely to get better grades and go farther in school. They are more likely to be successful at work. And they are less likely to get into trouble (for example, commit crimes) as adolescents. Given all the advantages of intelligence, though, you may be surprised to learn that it does not predict other life outcomes, such as well-being. You might imagine that doing well in school or at work might lead to greater life satisfaction, but several large-scale studies have failed to find evidence that IQ impacts life satisfaction or longevity (长寿). Most intelligence tests fail to assess the extent of rational thinking, such as real-world decision-making and our ability to interact well with others. This is, in other words, perhaps why “smart” people do “dumb” things. The ability to think critically, on the other hand, has been associated with wellness and longevity. Though often confused with intelligence, critical thinking is not intelligence. Critical thinking is a collection of cognitive (认知的) skills that allow us to think rationally (理性地) in a goal-orientated fashion and a disposition to use those skills when appropriate. Critical thinkers have self-confidence in their own abilities to reason. They possess great flexibility in requiring evidence to support their beliefs. Critical thinking means overcoming all kinds of cognitive biases (偏见). Critical thinking predicts a wide range of life events. Researchers have found that critical thinkers experience fewer negative life events such as academic (“I forgot about an exam”), health (“I received HIV through unprotected sex”), legal (“I was arrested for driving under the influence”), interpersonal (“I cheated on my partner for more than a year”), financial (“I have over $5,000 of credit-card debt”), and so on. Intelligence and improving intelligence are hot topics that receive a lot of attention. It is time for critical thinking to receive a little more of that attention. Reasoning and rationality more closely resemble what we mean when we say a person is smart rather than spatial skills and math ability. Furthermore, improving intelligence is difficult. Intelligence is largely determined by genetics. Critical thinking, though, can improve with training, and the benefits have been shown to continue over time. Anyone can improve their critical thinking skills. Doing so, we can say with certainty, is a smart thing to do. Why Do Smart People Do Foolish Things? Introduction The defining term of intelligence in daily life (71) ______ largely from how it is traditionally measured. The advantages of intelligence ●Intelligent people may have better academic and job (72) ______. ●Intelligence may predict less trouble during adolescence. (73) ______ for smart people doing foolish things ●Intelligent people don’t (74) ______ enjoy greater life satisfaction or longevity. ●What most intelligence tests (75) ______ are rational thinking skills like decision-making. The importance of critical thinking ●Critical thinkers are more likely to be (76) ______ in life and live longer. ●Critical thinkers are rational, self-confident, (77) ______ and open-minded. ●Critical thinking is believed to be (78) ______ with fewer negative life events. Conclusion We should (79) ______ more on critical thinking than on intelligence, as intelligence is something, to a large extent, that one is (80) ______ with while critical thinking can be trained and improved. 第五部分 书面表达 (满分25分) 81. 请阅读下面文字,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。 International Museum Day falls on May 18. The debate over whether museums should be free is a big one right now. Some people share their opinions. Li Jiang I think art exhibits should be free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the museums should host a fund-raising event to help pay for the cost of upkeep. They do it all the time. Wealthy buyers pay $100 for a plate and the proceeds are given to the museum. If you decide you want to buy the art, the proceeds should go to the artist, with a fee going to the museum. Su Hua Free entrance does not attract people, nor does it encourage them to appreciate it. Sure, there are exceptions to this, but by and large human beings tend to look up to things that are difficult or costly to access. A better option is to charge fees for regular visitors but provide free tickets as prizes for high-achieving students and others who are likely to appreciate the reward. 【写作内容】 1. 用约30个词概括上述信息的主要内容; 2. 你认为博物馆应该免费吗?请说明理由 (不少于两点)。 【写作要求】 1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句; 2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称; 3. 不必写标题。 【评分标准】 内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 南通市2020届高三适应性练习 参考答案及听力原文 听力 (20分) 1—5 BCCBC 6—10 ACCBA 11—15 ABCCA 16—20 BCCAA 单项填空 (15分) 21—25 BDDAC 26—30 ADBCC 31—35 BACDB 完形填空 (20分) 36—40 CBBAD 41—45 CABDC 46—50 ABCCA 51—55 DDADB 阅读理解 (30分) 56—60CCBDB 61—65 ACDAA 66—70 BCBDB 任务型阅读 (10分) 71. differs 72. performance 73.

Li believes that museums shouldn’t charge visitors for admission while Su thinks otherwise. On a personal note, museums should be available to all visitors for free. First and foremost, museums house many precious artworks, antiques and relics, and free access will attract more lovers to explore their history and culture, which may add to a feeling of national identity. Besides, given that museums are always a crucial source of inspiration and education, free access is a rewarding investment in the future and is of great benefit to securing prosperity of the whole society. What’s more, free access can also boost the number of visitors, thus expanding cultural power to its fullest. In conclusion, to help build up national pride and promote cultural confidence, museums should be open for free to provide more cultural and educational opportunities. 听力原文 Text 1 M: Do you know where our apartment key is?

Recently, it’s supposed to get very cold — about -10ºC tonight, and -15ºC tomorrow morning. What’s worse, it will be even farther down to -20ºC by tomorrow evening. Please make sure you come to school with enough clothes to keep you warm, and you should also have a pair of boots you can change into. Highland Public School District officials will consider travel conditions before making a decision about whether to cancel school. If school will be closed because of winter weather or another reason, an announcement will be made by 6:00 a.m. on that day by local radio stations and television stations. We may need to inform your parents by phone as well, so if your parents’ phone numbers have changed, please tell the school. Let’s make sure we all have a happy and safe winter! Thank you for your attention. 答案详细解析 第二部分 英语知识运用 第一节 单项填空 21.
