What was worse, a bottle fell and broke, making me so annoyed. With the broken glass and blood red wine all over the place, everything paused at that moment. For a moment everybody stopped what he or she was doing and looked my way. So embarrassed was I that I stood there clumsily feeling the blood rushing to my face (... open mouthed.watching the machine reject everything I’d scanned over the past few minutes. All the air seemed to disappear and I felt as if the whole world was watching me. I was struck dead with embarrassment, heart beating painfully fast banging against my ribs.) Meanwhile, (the beautiful female voice of the machine broke the awful silence: “Please slide your card on the front glass.”) I’ve had just enough of it and I noticed my husband had that familiar “I told you so” look on her face and then he walked over to the assistant for help who had been turned down by me!
After the assistant helped us out, I turned to my husband. “All right, honey,” he jokingly said, a different comfort dawning across his lined face. “it’s time for us to sign up for a class (out-of-class tutoring).” Clearly my husband’s bark was really worse than his bite. This experience made me realize that with the development of technology some of us have been left far behind by new technological devices, even in other fields. It also made me realize that only by learning constantly can we handle our life easily and smoothly. So, I start to make myself more modest and open to everything. It’s no more important whether we can calmly meet the challenges of all times. It’s our thirst for knowledge and strong belief in keeping pace with times that will make us better for the future!

W: Hi, Mr.Smith. May I ask you a question
M: Of course. What can I do for you
W: I was wondering about our magazines. I know we have to order them in advance but I don’t know when the deadline is,
how much they cost,or when to pick them up.
M:I can give you all that information.You can pre-order your magazine, or you can just buy one when they come out. The pre-order deadline is in a week, and you just have to drop off your order form and check here. The magazine is $ 50. They’ll be out in 2 months, and you can pick yours up right here.
W: So, I still have some time to decide whether or not to pre-order, right
M: Absolutely. But if you know you definitely want a magazine, I would recommend pre-ordering. That way, everything will be ready ahead of time.

W: Excited and nervous. You know I have to work on some basic conversation skills.
M: How much Japanese can you understand
W: Only a little now. But I’m going to take a special language class next month.
M: I wish I were as clever as you are at foreign languages. I would love to study abroad.
W: Then why don’t you The school has a lot of programs that don’t require the knowledge of a foreign language. You just have to be the kind of person who is quick to learn new things and can get used to a new environment fast.
M: I thought all programs required one to know a foreign language. Thank you for letting me know this.
（Text 9)
W: So what are you going to do this summer

W: So where are you going
M: To start off, I’m going to fly to Rio and perhaps I’ll stay there for a few days.
W: Do you know anyone there
M: No, but I’ve always wanted to go to Rio. It’s quite a place of interest. And I’ll probably go up the Sugar Loaf Mountain.
W: And where are you going after that
M: I’m going to fly to Santiago in Chile, where I’ve got some friends. We’ll probably spend some time doing some sightseeing and then we’re going to lie on the beach for a few days in Valparaiso, which is on the coast, not far away from Santiago. Then I’m flying to Lima where I’m going to meet my girlfriend.
W: Then you’ll have a good time together.
M: Yes. We’ll probably go somewhere else. I don’t know where yet, but I’d like to spend a week in the jungle. Then we’ll probably fly home.
W: Well, have a nice time!
（Text 10)
W: During the summer you should be even more careful than usual because food goes bad faster in hot weather than in cold weather. When you buy frozen and refrigerated foods, don’t make long stops on your way home because frozen foods could become soft or warm. Using bags helps keep food cold until you can get home. Milk and milk products should be refrigerated immediately. When camping or picnicking or at any time when refrigeration can’t be made use of, use special dry foods. Don’t leave food in a hot car. Picnic favorites like meat, chicken and eggs should be kept in a cooler box. Above all, if the food doesn’t seem to be normal in smell or appearance, throw it away immediately. Don’t taste it.哈尔滨师大附中 东北三省三校2023年高三第一次联合模拟考试

In July, I received an e-mail from Richard K.Weems, who directed the creative writing division of the New Jersey Governor’s School of the Arts. He hired me to teach poetry to a group of gifted high school students.
When I met the group, in contrast to what past teachers had done, I proposed that we run a poetry stand, which would be like a country lemonade stand, except that people would be coming for poems. Whatever customers asked for, the students would write.
The group were willing to go with my idea, though they had questions: Would we collect money at the poetry stand No. What if there were no customers It’s part of the risk. What if we had nothing to say on the topic they gave us You will, and I’ll train you.
A few times a day, whenever we had a little extra time in the writing studio, I asked my students to turn to a clean sheet of paper and I gave them an assumed poetry-stand poem request. I tried to get the students into the habit of asking for specifies and authenticity.
On Thursday morning came the big day on Palmer Square. We set up the tables and chairs beside the place. The foot traffic to and from was a sight that might have pleased Walt Whitman: people of all ages and races. People slowed tentatively (试探性地) at the sign offering free poetry. A woman wheeling a stroller became our first customer to have someone write for her kid on the subject of candy. An Asian woman asked if the poets could do haiku. A man told us that he only spoke Spanish. So we brought Ricky, a Latino kid to take his order and returned with a poem in Spanish. The man couldn’t contain his smile.
By 4:30, when it was lime to leave, customers stood in line, wanting to know when we would be returning. I watched and their enthusiasm made me wonder about the place of poetry in the lives of ordinary Americans.
24. What can we know about the author from the passage
A. He followed in the former teachers’ footsteps.
B. He guided his students to create poems at will.
C. He prepared his little poets well for the activity.
D. He found his advice unpopular with his students.
25. What does the underlined word “contain” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Include.
B. Control.
C. Wear.
D. Return.
26. What can we infer about the activity from the passage
A. The appeal of poetry was beyond imagination.
B. The students made a fortune by trading their poems.
C. The teacher invited Walt Whitman to compose a poem.
D. The students suffered a cold shoulder of the passers-by.
27. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text

B. An English Poetry Day
C. A Poem Exchange
D. A Memorable Poem Lecture
C
The latest photo taken at China’s well-known Tsinghua University became a hit, where a student was seen using his laptop while riding on a bike. The moral of the story is that wasting time on things like commuting between university facilities becomes unacceptable, since the pressure to graduate top of the class is so intense.
Into the real world, working extra hours is a common practice of China’s most brilliant figures in technology. Infinite overtime, pre-mature balding (秃顶) and hospital admissions are all but part of standard professional life for the nation’s brightest. Similarly, blue-collar workers don’t have it easier. Food delivery riders are reportedly trapped by an algorithm (算法) that automatically works out the best delivery time for app users, and never minds if the workers are at the risk of road accidents.
People are wondering whether all this hard work really makes life better. Actually, it may well be making things harder for everyone, but there doesn’t seem to be a way out. A popular sense of being stuck in an ever so exhausting rat race where everyone loses has given rise to a new buzzword: neijuan (involution). The Chinese word, neijuan, is made up of the characters for “inside” and “rolling”, and is understood as something that spirals in on itself, a process that traps participants who know they won’t benefit from it.
“From a sociological point of view, involution is unavoidable because of society’s structural shifts,” said Yan Fei, a professor of sociology at Tsinghua University, “One big question for the middle class is how to remain in the middle class. Meanwhile, the lower class still hopes to change their fate. But the middle and upper classes aren’t so much looking upward, and they are marked by a deep fear of falling downward. Their greater fear is perhaps losing what they already have,” he explained.
28. Why is the photo of a student in Tsinghua University mentioned in Paragraph 1
A. To clarify the writing purpose.
B. To present an argument.
C. To introduce the topic of the passage.
D. To describe a character.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. It’s common to work overtime in the real world.
B. Neijuan reflects the fierce competition in China.
C. Food delivery riders benefit a lot from the apps.
D. People live a better life due to their great efforts.
30. What can be inferred from what Yan Fei said in the last paragraph
A. The lower class suffers a deep fear of falling downward.
B. The middle class tries to be a member of the upper class.
C. The greatest fear of every class is to lose what they already have.
D. Involution is inescapable in the development of society for each class.
31. From which column of the newspaper can the passage be taken
A. Society.
B. Economy.
C. Entertainment.
D. Tourism.
D
Mining rare-earth (稀土) elements (REEs) has long been considered a dirty business, as it can lead to water and soil pollution, but a new technology developed by Chinese scientists may change the trend, offering a greener alternative for the industry.
REEs, especially heavy ones, are an essential part of many high-tech devices, from the engines of electric cars and smartphones, to LED lights. More than 90% of the global heavy REE demand is sourced from ion-adsorption deposits (离子吸附沉积物), which form within weathering crusts (硬壳). However, conventional mining applies overmuch usage of chemical agents to recover REEs from these deposits, not only exhibiting low efficiency but also polluting the environment.
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry proposed a new approach in the journal Nature Sustainability earlier this month, showing that employing electrokinetic mining techniques to extract (提取) REEs from weathering crusts can be both clean and efficient. Using this approach, researchers generated an electric field by putting electrodes (电极) on the top and bottom of a volume of soil. The electrokinetic effect can speed up the migration of REEs, reducing the need for harmful chemical agents.
To evaluate the practicality of the new method, they carried out several experiments of different scales. Results suggested that the new method outperformed traditional mining techniques. For instance, the scaled-up experiments achieved a recovery efficiency of 96% within 67 hours by using electrokinetics. Using the conventional technique, it was only 62% at 130 hours.
The difference between the impact of the old and the new approaches was even more significant in an on-site field test: Using electrokinetics can achieve a recovery efficiency higher than 90%, an 80% decrease in polluting agent usage and a 70% reduction in impurity.
The study confirmed that this novel electrokinetic technology enabled green, efficient and selective recovery of REEs. Researchers also noted that the new method has great potential for use in the mining of other critical metals under conditions in which the metals exist in ionic states.
32. Why is the new technology referred to as a “greener alternative” for REE mining
A. It is based on cleaner energy. B. It achieves a higher recovery efficiency.
C. It recovers REEs from weathering crusts. D. It depends less on the use of chemical agents.
33. How does the author present the practicality of the new technology
A. By analyzing causes. B. By listing examples.
C. By providing test results. D. By giving instructions.
34. What can we know about the new technology
A. It contributes to the extraction of purer REEs.
B. It causes REEs to be mined at a higher cost.
C. It is widely adopted in mining critical metals.
D. It frees REE mining of the impact on nature.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. A new technology with great potential in mining metals.
B. A greener REE mining technology with higher efficiency.
C. The difficulties in mining REEs from ion-adsorption deposits.
D. The differences between conventional and new REE mining methods.

Workout fads (狂热) come and go, but virtually no other exercise program is as lasting as yoga. It originated from India and it’s been around for more than 5,000 years. 36
37 Yoga does more than burn calories and tone muscles. It’s a total mind-body workout that combines strengthening and stretching poses with deep breathing and meditation or relaxation. Research shows yoga can help manage stress, improve mood, and enhance the quality of sleep. In addition, yoga has been shown to increase flexibility, improve balance and increase strength.
38 All these types, from the peaceful hatha to the high-intensity power yoga, take your workout to a level of mind-body connection.
People of all ages and fitness levels can do the most basic yoga poses and stretches. You can do yoga anywhere, indoors or out. You’ll need to use a yoga mat to keep you from sliding around in standing poses, and to cushion you while in seated and lying positions. 39 It includes a yoga ball for balance, a yoga block or two, and straps to help you reach for your feet or link your hands behind your back.
Even though there are many instructional books and DVDs on yoga, it is well worth it to invest in some classes with a good instructor who can show you how to do the postures. But if you don’t live near a studio, or you’re the on-the-go type who struggles to make time for a regular class, doing yoga at home can help you fit the practice into your life. 40 Simply choose the time and the length of the session that works for you, and get your “om” on at home.
A. Yoga is a great way to strengthen your body.
B. Other optional equipment may also be needed.
C. There are more than 100 different forms of yoga.
D. Now it is a popular practice throughout the world.
E. Therefore, yoga facilities are necessities for your exercise.
F. Yoga has long been praised for its physical and spiritual benefits.
G. You don’t have to wait for a specific class time or commit to a class.

The Chinese began to accept Western medicine as early as the beginning of this century,
56 Chinese medicine is still in doubt among Western people. To them, Chinese medicine, like ancient China, is mysterious and beyond 57 (believe).
Chinese medicines, most of them 58 (be) originally natural herbs, are made through having these materials simmered, roasted, or fried without having specific standards. This is the main reason for 59 they’re not recognized internationally. Chinese medicines usually appear in 60 form of pills, tablets and most commonly herb teas. They are used 61 account of their power in aid of recovery and they tend to produce long-term effects. They might be 62 (slow) in curing the patient of the disease, but they have less serious side effects even if 63 (take) frequently, for each medicinal herb is prescribed (开处方) for the benefit of the patient, causing no harm to the liver or the kidneys.
It is obvious that no matter how strange they may seem to Westerners, Chinese medicines
64 (use) for thousands of years and prove to be extremely effective. It’s simply up to us
65 (promote) the precious heritage.

I consider myself technologically capable, or at least I used to! However, shopping with my husband the other day clearly showed I’m being left behind by the times.
Finishing picking lots of goods in Carrefour Supermarket, we walked toward the checkout counters, noticing few people there. In fact, despite all the lights above the counters on, showing open, there was no cashier (收银员). Walking to a deserted counter, like an ATM machine, I saw it was brand-new. On the other side of it was a long moving belt leading down to a kind of island. When I placed my shopping cart near the machine, it monitored my presence and spoke to me in a soft woman voice, “Please slide your card on the front glass.”
“OK,” I thought, “I can do this.” But my husband thought we should find somebody to walk us through this new process.
“Are you kidding ” I said. “Relax! I’ll have us out of here within seconds.”
“Please slide your card on the front glass,” she asked again, except that this time she sounded a little impatient. Were they programmed to annoy customers
I swiped (刷) my card down the card-slider on the side of the machine and it asked me to do it on the front glass. I thought I must have slid my card upside down so I turned and swiped it again down that slider. Then the not-so-nice-anymore-computer-machine lady told me I needed help. Honest to God, that was what she said; she said I needed somebody’s help.
A store assistant noticed this, coming over and I told him there was something wrong with the machine for its not taking my card. He took my card and slid it on the glass beside the slider I had been using. Then the machine-lady asked me to scan my goods. The assistant asked if I needed any more help. “No!” I suggested they should program the machine more precise. He smiled and walked away.
It worked well, so I decided to show my husband I could scan the rest faster. I was doing well when the belt suddenly stopped and began to move backward. The machine-lady told me to rescan because of an overload on the belt.
