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.Coping With the Sunday ScariesA few years ago, I was in the kitchen of a friend’s house preparing a meal. When we all sat down to eat, my friend’s wife wolfed down her supper and then disappeared into another room to do some work. He smiled and said, “Sunday nights are the new Monday mornings around here.”I was surprised at the time. Now, I find myself 21 (behave) in exactly the same manner. Every time I open up my calendar on Sunday evening, a subtle sense of dread comes over me. I feel as 22 I am behind before the week has even begun.Apparently, my Sunday-night anxieties and Monday-morning blues are not unique to me alone. A new study led by Ilke Inceoglu from the University of Exeter found that this phenomenon often takes the form of mental concerns about the week ahead, as well as feelings of nervousness and difficulty with sleeping. “It’s as if your mind moves away from 23 has been experienced over the weekend as the general sense of relaxation or enjoyment, and quickly shifts towards whatever worries you have about everything you’ve got to do in the work week ahead,” said one of Inceoglu’s respondents.Inceoglu found that these Sunday scaries were particularly pronounced 24 people who frequently checked their emails during the weekend, had tasks left over from the previous week, and had unreasonably high expectations of themselves. These matters seem 25 (make) worse as a result of the pandemic, where the rise of working from home 26 (blur) the boundaries between work and leisure.What should we do about the “Sunday scaries” Researchers have offered some useful suggestions that 27 help us make Monday less depressing. One is to change 28 you think about the weekend. One U.S. study found that when participants were asked to treat their weekend as a mini-vacation, they tended to do more cheerful activities and returned to work on Monday satisfied with their jobs. The second way is to redesign our Monday 29 __________it has some of the features that make us feel good during the weekend. Introducing simple changes, such as starting the day with something you are good at, setting aside a little unstructured time where you are able to do what you want, or setting up a lunchtime date with 30 you find enjoyable to be around, could make all the difference.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A.devoted B.groupings C.making D.connections E. tone F. overhearG. available H. significantly I. favorable J. equivalent K. romanticNot so long ago, it was the stuff of nightmares: you pick up the landline and there’s no dialing 31 . Nothing. The phone is useless, dead in your hand. For most of the 20th century, this was a horror film cliche, a symbol of isolation and doom foretold.But today the death of the landline is close to being a reality — and one entirely of our own 32 . BT has announced plans to hike charges for landline calls, in a bid to maintain commercial feasibility for landline services. The move suggests that BT which has long promoted landlines over mobile calls may have given up on turning back the clock. In the US, the proportion of households that have mobile phone connection but no landline has risen to a quarter. The most recent research in the UK put the 33 figure at 15%.The death of the landline has gone almost unnoticed. After all, the din of phone chatter is all around us. What difference does it make whether the cables lie underground or not A lot, actually. The death of the landline is a cultural shift that affects our personal and public lives. It has freed us from our 34 — in the office, where email has disconnected us from what the people who sit three feet away do all day, and even more 35 , at home. In any household in the days before mobiles took over, the landline served as switchboard for everyone’s 36 outside the home. The phone rang, you answered it, you asked who was calling, and then you passed the phone over. Everyone knew who called you, and how long you spoke for. Within families, couples, flatmates, it was a kind of invisible knowledge map about the state of everyone’s 37 and social lives, and one we took for granted. Now, we are all freelance operatives.And 38 though we are to our mobiles, most of the time we aren’t talking but typing. Office culture has become increasingly silent. All you 39 these days is the clatter of typing, the lull (沉寂) while they wait for a response, and then the rapt (全神贯注的) concentration when the emailed reply appears. With the arrogant “ignore” button, we all become a little more untouchable in our individual worlds, and less 40 .III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分;56-70每题2分)Section ADirections: 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 contextFor a start, we’re not sure what artificial intelligence (AI) is, which complicates our every conversation about what effect it will have on our lives. We can’t even really 41 what intelligence is in humans, where the conversation inevitably goes away from science and into philosophy.As neither a scientist nor a philosopher, but with decades of personal experience on the front lines of both human and machine cognition (认知), I prefer to focus on the 42 . AI will be the greatest technological advance since the Internet turned the world into a living stream of data. It will eventually be more 43 than the Internet, changing every part of our lives in seen and unseen ways. And it’s already 44 .From medical diagnosis to investment banking, from hiring staff to educating our children, these increasingly 45 systems are changing the world. Whether you find this terrifying or wonderful is important, because public 46 drives education, investment, and regulation, making the outcome a type of self-fulfilling promise. 47 , if people find the rapid advance of intelligent machines terrifying instead of wonderful, it won’t stop it, but it could make the outcome much worse. Powerful new technology nearly always causes distress before producing broad benefits. By slowing down our progress out of unreasoning 48 , we lengthen the distress stage by delaying the next waves of breakthroughs needed to produce the broader benefits.There are real and immediate 49 about the increase in intelligent machines, especially autonomous ones. Rising inequality if automation hits lower-income people harder, personal data being used improperly by companies… None of these issues come anywhere close to an existential threat – the killer robots of Hollywood or the super-intelligent AI that sees no reason to 50 . It’s as if everyone were curious about how we might all one day be killed by robots.As a member of the executive board of the Foundation for Responsible Robotics and as a security ambassador for Avast Software, I’ve become all too 51 the real threats we may be faced with due to these AI-enhanced machines. And I’m glad that great minds like Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk are voicing their concerns, and that top AI authorities like Nick Bostrom are mapping out the 52 possibilities. After all, we live with nuclear power that could literally destroy the planet, and we certainly want it to be monitored and used 53 .But like all our inventions, AI is capable of being used for good or evil. 54 matters, and so making better humans will always be more important than making smarter machines. Above all, we must keep 55 , because the only solution for the problems caused by today’s technology is tomorrow’s.41.A.tell apart B.disapprove of C.glance at D.agree on42.A.theoretical B.practical C.physical D.mental43.A.specialized B.transformative C.predictable D.irrelevant44.A.happening B.misleading C.worsening D.changing45.A.intense B.annoying C.capable D.simple46.A.health B.image C.service D.opinion47.A.In short B.What’s more C.That is D.As a result48.A.fear B.deed C.manner D.passion49.A.rumors B.remarks C.mysteries D.concerns50.A.take humans in B.keep humans aroundC.give humans up D.put humans away51.A.familiar with B.ignorant of C.superior to D.unhappy about52.A.newest B.best C.oldest D.worst53.A.occasionally B.responsibly C.immediately D.genuinely54.A.Technology B.Morality C.Intelligence D.Automation55.A.moving forward B.looking upon C.calming down D.running awaySection BDirections: Read the following three passages. 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)The 64-year-old Mahendra, the Secretary at People for Animals (PFA), talks about his disabled and wounded dogs like a father talks about his children—with the same love, affection and warmth. It was this love that led him to establish India's first shelter home for dogs living with disabilities.It all started in 1998. While taking a midnight walk, Mahendra came across a very weak dog on the street, whose bones were visible under its skin. Mahendra decided to feed it and for the next couple of days it became the centre of his life, until the night when he found it dead.After that, Mahendra started providing treatment to all wounded and sick dogs he came across. Some time later, someone told Mahendra about PFA, India's largest animal welfare organization, chaired by Mrs Maneka Gandhi. Mahendra contacted her and she was impressed by the work he was doing. Mrs Gandhi asked him to start a PFA chapter in Ahmedbad.Thus, in 2004, he started the shelter. It took a long time for Mehendra to find the land where the shelter could be set up. Finally, Ramesh Bhai Patel, a native farmer from a village named Jundal, agreed to give his land for nothing. Along with a team of four doctors and many volunteers, the shelter now has 25 dogs that were unable to walk at all when they were brought in. Today, they' re slowly healing. Dogs that have healed with proper treatment are sent back to where they came from if the environment there is safe. However, the shelter will be home to the blind dogs for all their lives, says Mahendra.The shelter runs on money coming from Mahendra's own pension of Rs. 45,000. There have been some financial crunches now and then, but Mahendra is determined that no matter what challenge comes their way, they' ll fight through.56.What made Mahendra decide to do something for disabled and sick dogs A.His contact with PFA. B.The encouragement of Gandhi.C.A walk with a sick dog of Gandhi. D.The death of a homeless sick dog.57.What happened to Mahendra when he tried to build the shelter A.He secured government funds.B.He got a land from a local farmer for free.C.He learned medical knowledge from doctors.D.He met with much difficulty in finding volunteers.58.What does the underlined word “crunches” in the last paragraph probably mean A.Advantages. B.Crisis. C.Services. D.Details.59.Which of the following words can best describe Mahendra A.Kind-hearted. B.Humorous. C.Open-minded. D.Modest.(B)From inspirational keynote sessions to hot topics and networking events, everything you know and love about the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo (FNCE) is included in this year’s program — plus these amazing new additions!Extra Networking Event.

D.To attract more attendees to FNCE 2023.(C)The scientist’s job is to figure out how the world works, to “torture (拷问)” Nature to reveal her secrets, as the 17th century philosopher Francis Bacon described it. But who are these people in the lab coats (or sports jackets, or T-shirts and jeans) and how do they work It turns out that there is a good deal of mystery surrounding the mystery-solvers.“One of the greatest mysteries is the question of what it is about human beings — brains, education, culture etc. that makes them capable of doing science at all,” said Colin Allen, a cognitive scientist at Indiana University.Two vital ingredients seem to be necessary to make a scientist: the curiosity to seek out mysteries and the creativity to solve them. “Scientists exhibit a heightened level of curiosity,” reads a 2007 report on scientific creativity. “They go further and deeper into basic questions showing a passion for knowledge for its own sake.” Max Planck, one of the fathers of quantum physics, once said, the scientist “must have a vivid and intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by deduction (推论), but by an artistically creative imagination.”But others disagree with this universal scientific mind. They believe that scientists have special abilities that set them apart. Discovering these abilities may be hard, Allen thinks, as many scientists will be reluctant to reveal them and would prefer to preserve the mystery of creativity, fearing that if it became an object of study it would lose its magic.But for Allen, this is all part of a bigger question of what lies behind anyone’s behavior. “We are only just beginning to understand how the characteristics of organisms, including ourselves, aren’t the fixed products of either genes or of environment/culture, but each of us is the product of a continual interactive process in which we help build the environments that in turn shape us,” he said.“As long as our best technology for seeing inside the brain requires subjects to lie nearly motionless while surrounded by a giant magnet, we’re only going to make limited pro gress on these questions,” Allen said.63.Why does the author mention Max Planck in paragraph 3 A.To introduce a famous scientist. B.To stress the role of creativity in science.C.To compare different views on science. D.To illustrate what is curiosity inscience.64.What do Allen's words in the last two paragraphs suggest A.Human behavior is changeable and unpredictable.B.We are passively influenced by our genes and culture.C.Our interaction with the environment makes us who we are.D.Current technology has revealed a lot about human behavior.65.What is Allen’s attitude to the current study on the human brain A.Cautious. B.Indifferent. C.Approving. D.Pessimistic.66.What is a suitable title for the text A.Who Are The Mystery-solvers B.Scientists Are Not Born But MadeC.Great Mystery: What Makes A Scientist D.Solving Mysteries: Inside A Scientist's MindSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.A.If this is a battle, signs indicate that the pro-phone crowd has already won.B.But rather than expressing frustration about this awkwardness, she said she felt guilty, as if she were the one challenging convention.C.In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit.D.The cause of this recent craze was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular annual events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.E.The truth is people like selfies more than the exhibits way beyond researchers' imagination.F.But the issue is complicated for the professionals running museums.A San Francisco Museum Tackles Art's Instagram DilemmaA woman held tightly her phone to her heart, the way a missionary might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of a stunning bouquet of flowers that sat not 10 ft away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others who were doing the same.67 . For the 34th year, florists were asked to create bouquets that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. A tower of baby's breath imitates a waterfall in a nearby painting by Gustav Grunewald. Red flamingo flowers and neon blue sticks echo a surreal portrait of a woman by Salvador Dali.It’s amazing and also extremely Instagrammable, to the point that it has become a problem. 68 . Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge draw for museums as well as something that upsets some of their sponsors.So the de Young responded with a kind of agreement: carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.One common complaint in the ongoing debates over the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is truth to this. It found that people who took photos of an exhibit rather than simply observing it had a harder time remembering what they saw.69 . Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing, communications and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a selfie playland”. Yet a lot of other people do, and her take is that the de Young is in no position to claim that one motivation for buying a $28 ticket is more valid than another.If we removed social media and photography, she says, “we should risk becoming irrelevant”. 70 . On this visit to the museum, most people seemed to treat the photo craze as the new normal. Many politely waited their turn and got out of other people’s shots,even as visitors bumped into each other in crowded galleries.IV.Summary WritingDirections: 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.Instagram ConcernsAlthough the popular social media APP Instagram can be used in many positive ways, there are significant risks to your child that all parents should be aware of.Many Instagram users are known for their perfectly posed and edited photos of delicate life. The line between reality and what is posted on social media is often vague. Teens often find it impossible not to compare their appearance, belongings, status, and lifestyle to the lives of those they follow. It is so easy for a child to become consumed by this constant comparison. If your child has gathered a large Instagram following or does not have proper settings turned on, shared information may be public for all to see. Although content showed in your child's Instagram feed is tailored toward their browsing history and interests, it is possible they could encounter potentially inappropriate subject matter.Feeling concerned or worried Rather than banning your child from the platform entirely, you might consider the following:When a child spends too much time viewing life through the images of others, they can forget to take the time to truly live their own life. Encourage your child to incorporate plenty of screen-free and Instagram-free time into their daily lives. One way you can influence your child to develop a healthy relationship with social media is by demonstrating one yourself. Set aside your own screen-free time each day. Also, it is crucial that, as a parent, you understand your child's social media presence and have open and honest conversations about the dangers of self-comparison and oversharing on Instagram. If you notice your child is constantly experiencing the side effects of Instagram-despite your best efforts-take the steps necessary to protect your child. For some, this may mean locking the app on your child's phone until a compromise can be reached.71.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。)Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets72.如果所有用过的食物包装都被回收再利用会如何呢?(What)73.护士给自己设闹钟三小时响一次,提醒她为病人送药。(reminder)74.要是没有过硬的专业知识,求职者不可能在竞争激烈的就业市场上立足。(It)75.看到员工们独具匠心的制作工艺,我突然明白这家老字号店铺为什么会经营几个世纪而经久不衰。(occur)VI.Guided Writing (共25分)Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.假设你是明启中学高三学生李明,你校英语报计划腾出一个版面专门刊登学生摄影作品,计划第一期的主题从“My winter vacation”、“People around me”及“The best scene on campus”中选择一个,现向全校同学征求意见。写一封邮件给英语报 读者来信专栏,内容须包括:1)你推荐的专栏主题;2)你的理由。_2024年1月上海市春季高考英语仿真模拟试卷04参考答案I.

Guided Writing (共25分)【参考答案】Dear Sir/Madam,Hearing that a photography section, scheduled to be added to our school English newspapers to present photography works from students, is seeking advice from the whole school, I am writing to recommend the theme of “People around me”. The reasons are as follows.On one hand, society is an encyclopedia, which appeals to all of us students to explore. So, “People around me”, featuring the photos of people from all walks of life, will enable us to gain a deeper insight into the happiness and sorrows of others, enriching our life experience. On the other hand, ordinary as the majority might be, they are making great difference to our lives, for example, those heroes in harm’s way serving our community during the pandemic. Their sense of responsibility and spirit of commitment will impress us students on campus, spurring us to respect them and learn from them, thus cultivating our good moral sentiment. To sum up, the theme is worth presenting. I would appreciate it if you could consider my recommendation. Looking forward to the photography section early. 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 2023-2024学年上海春季高考英语模拟试卷04.doc 2024年1月上海春季高考英语仿真模拟试卷04(听力).mp3
