While the Tesla Roadster was the first to arrive, it was the more practical Model S sedan that took the automaker to the next level. It established many Tesla hallmarks, from the large infotainment tablet to long battery range to seat-pinning acceleration.Ford Motor CompanyFord dipped its toes into the EV world with the Ford Focus Electric, but it had a short range. Ford made a bigger splash with the introduction of the Mustang Mach-E for the 2021 model year. The adoption of the Mustang name by an electric SUV initially riled up Mustang purists, but once the dust settled, the Mach-E proved to be one of our favorite EVs.General MotorsGeneral Motors got its start making modern EVs in the late 1990s with the infamous EV1. It was a small electric car that was perhaps ahead of its time given that neither the market nor the charging infrastructure existed. The automaker launched the Chevrolet Bolt EV in 2017. It came onto the market after the success of the low-cost Nissan Leaf and groundbreaking Tesla Model S.Hyundai MotorsHyundai and its sister company, Kia, are South Korean automakers that have made big strides in the EV world in recent years. They started with the Hyundai Kona Electric and the Kia Niro EV, which were electric versions of existing gas-powered vehicles. The automakers' next pair of electric SUVs will make a splash with their retro and futuristic styling.21. Whose EV has a feature of seat-pinning acceleration A. Tesla Motors. B. Ford Motor Company.C. General Motors. D. Hyundai Motors.22. What is special with Hyundai Motors A. It's the pioneer for EV. B. It's a South Korean company.C. It's the most popular EV maker. D. Its gas-powered SUVs look very futuristic.23. What is the purpose of the text A. To promote the sales of EVs.B. To entertain readers with some popular EVs.C. To show the author's preferences for some EVs.D. To introduce top electric car companies and their EVs.BThis Christmas, Renate Bello, 56, will spend the holiday taking care of her neighbor's dogs in Easthampton, Mass. It's the same way she spent Thanksgiving. Without any family or close friends nearby, holidays can be an especially lonely time, she said. For her, pet sitting is a joy, and one way that she copes with solitude."I know a number of people, "she said. "But they are not necessarily people I would call up to say, 'Let's go hang out. "Ms. Bello owns a medical billing business that often requires long hours at home, which contributes to her isolation. "I don't have any life, and I need to find that balance, she said. But taking friendships to the next level can be difficult, Ms. Bello added. Sometimes, she admitted, she feels "inadequate"-like an outsider.It's concerning, then, that more than half of Americans say they are lonely, according to a 2021 poll. "We all feel lonely at times just like we all feel hunger or thirst, "Dr. Murthy, a psychologist from NYU, said. "There is no reason to be ashamed of being human. "Even those who have plenty of friends can experience loneliness.Building relationships takes time. Try not to expect too much initially. "Often it takes a series of encounters, " said Charles T. Hill, a professor of social psychology at Whittier College. As you get to know people, ask yourself: Who can I connect with at a deep level Who will be there for me More often than not, we tend to connect with those who share commonalities with us. "If you're a bookworm, don't expect your next best buddy at the bar, " said Louise Hawkley, a research scientist who studies loneliness at NORC, a social research organization at the University of Chicago.Volunteering is also a way to broaden our social networks that can feel less anxiety- provoking than, say, showing up at a party. In a study of 10, 000 volunteers in Britain, about two-thirds agreed that volunteering had helped them feel less isolated."Lonely people have more control over the situation than they think they do, "Dr. Hawkley said.24. What do we know about Ms. Bello A. She is a successful and independent entrepreneur.B. She always puts her job before her family and friends.C. She longs to build deeper connections with people.D. She prefers dogs to humans on holiday occasions.25. Which statement might Dr. Murthy agree on A. Lonely people are more likely to feel starved.B. Loneliness is a universal human experience.C. Feeling embarrassed of loneliness is unavoidable.D. Denying loneliness contributes to better self-esteem.26. To improve the quality of social connections, one is encouraged to do the following EXCEPT ____.A. lowering their expectation and being patientB. going to parties as often as possibleC. socializing with people who share common interestsD. offering support to someone else27. What can be a suitable title for the text A. How to kill solitude for goodB. Loneliness: not the end of the worldC. A friend in need is a friend indeedD. To socialize or not to socialize-that is a questionCDo you find yourself feeling down in the winter months You're not alone. As the days grow shorter, the American Psychiatric Association estimates that about 5% of Americans will experience a form of depression known as seasonal affective disorder, or SAD.People experiencing SAD tend to have feelings of hopelessness, decreased motivation to take part in activities they generally enjoy, and laziness. Even those who don't meet the clinical threshold(阈值) for this disorder may see increases in anxiety and depressive symptoms; in fact, some estimates suggest more than 40% of Americans experience these symptoms to some degree in the winter months.Scientists link SAD and more general increases in depression in the winter to decreased exposure to sunlight, which leads to lower levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin (血清素). Consistent with the idea that sunlight plays a key role, SAD tends to be more common in more northern regions of the world, like Scandinavia and Alaska, where the days are shortest and the winters longest.Humans, special as we may be, are not unique in showing some of these seasonally linked changes. For instance, our primate (灵长目动物) relative the Rhesus macaque (恒河猴) shows seasonal declines in mood. Some scientists have noted that SAD shows many similarities to hibernation-the long snooze during which brown bears, ground squirrels and many other species turn down their metabolism (新陈代谢) and skip out on the worst of winter. SAD may have its roots in adaptations that conserve energy at a time of year when food was typically in short supply and when lower temperatures pose greater energetic demands on the body.Like many other animals, we too are seasonal creatures. In the winter, people eat more and move less. You may feel a bit more lifeless, while also being kinder to others and having an easier time paying attention. As psychologists and other scientists research these kinds of seasonal effects, it may turn out that the ones we know about so far are only the tip of the iceberg.28. Which of the following symptoms is unlikely to be connected with SAD A. Feeling desperate. B. Lack of motivation.C. Sleep disorder. D. Loss of habitats.29. SAD may result from ____.A. cold climate B. warm sunshineC. sufficient food D. psychological reaction30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about A. The evolution of animals. B. The harsh conditions for animals.C. The potential cause of SAD. D. The change of seasons.31. Which of the following methods might relieve people of SAD A. Decreasing the amount of sleep. B. Receiving light therapies.C. Staying less focused. D. Showing indifference to others.DCaribbean box jellyfish (水母) can learn to spot and avoid obstacles (障碍) despite lacking a central brain, according to a new study. This is the first evidence that jellyfish can do something called associative learning. The nervous systems of Caribbean box jellyfish are fairly simple, including four "rhopalia (视神经束)" on a jellyfish's body, each of which has six "eyes", by which the jellyfish judge a mangrove root's distance based on how dark it looks compared to the water and make their way round it. In common waters, nearby roots have high contrast. Only distant roots fade into the background. But in murky waters, even nearby roots can blend into their surroundings and have low contrast. The researchers wondered if Caribbean box jellyfish could learn that low-contrast objects-which might at first seem distant-were actually close by.To find out, the team put 12 jellyfish into a round water tank. The tank was surrounded by low-contrast gray and white stripes (条纹), which might appear to a jellyfish like roots in clear water. A camera filmed the animals for about seven minutes. At first, they seemed to see the gray stripes as distant roots and swam away, ending up bumping the tank wall. But those collisions (碰撞) seemed to lead the jellyfish to reconsider the stripes. Soon, the creatures treated the gray stripes more like close roots in murky water-and avoided them.This suggests that the rhopalia alone can learn that seemingly distant, low-contrast objects are in fact close enough to avoid. That, in turn, hints that these nerve centers are behind Caribbean box jellyfish learning."That's the coolest part of the paper, " says Ken Cheng, a biologist at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. "That gets us one step down into the wiring of how it works. " For Ga lle Botton-Amiot, tracing learning to the rhopalia raises new questions. "They have four of these things in their bodies. So how does that work " asks this neurobiologist. If a jellyfish loses one of its rhopalia, does it forget everything those eyes saw and the neurons had learned Or do the other rhopalia remember it 32. Jellyfish are able to avoid obstacles because ______.A. they use brain cells to process information gatheredB. they rely on different levels of visual signal inputC. they have unique organs to measure the distanceD. they are driven by excellent survival instinct33. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word in paragraph 1 A. Unusual. B. Cloudy. C. Deep. D. Rapid.34. What can we infer from paragraphs 2 and 3 A. Jellyfish usually tend to be scared off by the gray color.B. Jellyfish tend to compare stripes with mangrove roots.C. Stimulation in controlled environment backed the finding.D. Rhopalia are in control of the jellyfish's memory system.35. Which can be the best title for the article A. No brain, no gain Denies the jellyfishB. Unique "eyes" help jellyfish surviveC. Evolution of learning: from nerve to brainD. White or gray Creature's decision-making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。Cities are diverse ecosystems. Some wild animals become regular visitors to our cities, such as coyotes (丛林狼) in Los Angeles or boars (野猪) in Berlin. 36 As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.37 They do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife. For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful. But when we cut grass or plant flowers, we destroy natural habitats.Our actions sometimes help other species. When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running along the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the bridge was the home of thousands of bats. At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them. 38 The bats are a tourist attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.There are also structures built with the aim of bringing wildlife into the city. The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example. The park used native plants and created open, natural spaces for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds. 39 Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move about freely. Sometimes, the visitors can encounter a gaggle of geese walking on the bank or swimming in the water leisurely.While cities pose challenges for wildlife, they are finding ways to adapt and thrive in urban environments. As humans, it is important to take measures to prevent conflicts and appreciate the presence of them. 40 And our own future will be endangered.A. Cities are built for humans.B. The park is intended to protect birds.C. If we do not, more species will become extinct.D. In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo.E. Also, a large number of species share our urban areas.F. Now, they have come to value their winged neighbors.G. Soon, the bats are adaptable and can thrive in human-built structures.第三部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I'm now the chef and owner of a restaurant.

Imagining himself 56 (pursue)a beam of light, he reasoned that he should observe such a beam of light as an electromagnetic field at rest. This intuitive thinking came 57 (know)as one of Einstein's most famous thought experiments, which take place in the imagination.While the term "thought experiment" originated in the 19th century, the use of thought experiments can be traced much further back, 58 ancient philosophers used them to explore difficult questions. About 2, 500 years ago, Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi recorded one of the earliest thought experiments: if you cut a long stick in half and then cut the 59 (remain)part in two each following day, you will never finish cutting it.As we explore the world in greater 60 (deep), we may reach a point where it is impossible to run an 61 (experiment)scenario(设想) in the real world due to various limitations. In such circumstances, we move into the area of thought experiments, which function as 62 valuable means to test the limits of our knowledge and advance our understanding of the world.Throughout history, thought experiments 63 (contribute)to the development of scientific theories. Thought experiments are not always about proving something right 64 wrong with a definite answer. Instead, by making abstract, complex ideas more concrete and accessible, thought experiments can stimulate debate and lead to a more thorough understanding of the topic 65 question.第四部分写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节(满分15分)假设你是学校口语兴趣班的学生李华,你的外教Chris正在策划一次户外活动,他发来邮件询问你的建议。请你用英文给他回复。内容包括:1. 你对活动的建议;2. 建议的理由。注意:1. 写作词数应为80左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Dear Chris,Yours sincerely,Li Hua第二节(满分25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。Snowflake BentleyIn the days when Vermont farmers worked the land and spent time with livestock, there lived a boy Willie Bentley who loved snow more than anything in the world. Vermont is no stranger to snow and Bentley's happiest days were snowstorm days. He watched snowflakes (雪花) on his glove, on the vast farm fields, and on the dark metal handle of the barn (谷仓) door. He said snow was the blessings of Nature. However, he could not share snowflakes because he could not save them.Later, when his mother gave him an old microscope, he mainly used it to look at snow. While kids of his neighbors chased hens and had snowball fights, Willie was catching snowflakes. Day after stormy day he studied the icy crystals (冰晶).Their delicate patterns were even more beautiful than he had imagined. Willie decided he must find a way to save snowflakes so others could see their wonderful designs. For three winters he tried drawing snow crystals. They always melted in the black tray (托盘) that he used to catch them before he could finish the drawings.When he was sixteen, Willie read of a camera with its own microscope. "If I had that camera I could photograph snowflakes, he told his mother. Willie's mother knew that he would not be happy until he could share what he had seen."Spending time on snow is just foolishness, his mother said. Still, she loved his son. When Willie was seventeen his parents spent their savings and bought the camera. It cost as much as ten cows. Willie was sure it was the best of all cameras. Even so, his first pictures were failures-no better than shadows. Yet he would not quit. Mistake by mistake, snowflake by snowflake, Willie worked through every storm. Winter ended, the snow melted, and he had no good pictures. He waited for another season of snow. One day, in the second winter, he tried a new experiment. And it worked! Willie had figured out how to photograph snowflakes! "Now everyone can see the great beauty in a tiny crystal, " he said.注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Nevertheless, in those days no one cared.Despite the new-found fame, Snowflake Bentley simply made up his mind to produce a perfect photo.湖南师大附中2024届高三月考试卷(七)英语参考答案题序12345689101112131415答案CBAACBAACACBCBA题序161718192021222324252627282930答案CABCBABDCBBBDAC题序313233343536373839404142434445答案BBBCAEAFDCABDAC题序46474849505152535455答案DCBDCAAcBD2l.A。根据“Tesla Motors'”语段中最后一句“It established many Tesla hallmarks,from the large infotainment tabletto long battery range to seat-pinning acceleration.”可知选择A项22.B。根据“Hyundai Motors'"语段中第一句“Hyundai and its sister company,Kia,are South Korean automakers thathave made big strides in the EV world in recent years.”可知选择B项。23.D。根据全文内容可知,本文是介绍四家顶尖电动汽车公司的情况以及它们的一些电动汽车款式。24.C。根据文章第一段“For her,pet sitting is a joy,.and one way that she copes with solitude.”以及第二段“whichcontributes to her isolation.'I don't have any life,and I need to find that balance,'...she admitted,she feels‘inadequate'一like an outsider.”可知,Ms.Bello感到孤独,并渴望化解这样的孤独,与人建立更深联系。25.B。根据第三段“We all feel lonely at times just like we all feel hunger or thirst,’Dr.Murthy,a psychologistfrom NYU,said.'There is no reason to be ashamed of being human.'Even those who have plenty of friends canexperience loneliness.”可知,Dr,Murthy认为孤独是人类普遍的感受与体验。26.B。根据第四、五段可知,作者提供了一些化解孤独,与人们建立社会联系的方法、建议。第四段“Buildingrelationships takes time.Try not to expect too much initially...More often than not,we tend to connect with thosewho share commonalities with us..”以及第五段“Volunteering is also a way to broaden our social networks.volunteering had helped them feel less isolated.”作者建议建立关系尽量不要期望太高且建议与那些与我们有共同点的人建立联系,并提出志愿服务也是拓宽我们社交网络的一种方式。27.B。根据全文先提出人们感到孤独的现状(para.l一2),到研究者提出孤独是人类常态(para.3),到文章后部分提出解决孤独的办法(para.4一5)以及结尾对研究者的话语引用(para.6)可知,文章中心是孤独并不可怕,有很多在我们能力范围内可以解决的办法。【语篇解读】有部分人在冬天的几个月里常常情绪低落,其实他们是患了一种被称为季节性情感障碍(SAD)的抑郁症。本文列举了该抑郁症的部分症状,试图说明它形成的原因,而且还通过对比分析,研究了SAD并非人类所独有,有些动物可能也是为了适应气候变冷通过冬眠或其它方式降低新陈代谢,熬过严寒的冬天。28.D。注意此题选的是不与SAD有关的症状。通过排除法即可得知答案为D。从文章的第二段第一句可知,患有SAD的人群会“感到绝望,缺乏动力去参加他们通常喜欢的活动,并且懒惰”,故排除A、B。该段第二句中说“即使那些没有达到临床阈值的人也可能会出现焦虑和抑郁症状的增加”,而C项的sleep disorder(睡眠障碍)是人变得焦虑的主要表现之一,故也应排除。29.A。文章第三段主要讲的是冬季抑郁症普遍增加与阳光照射减少有关。30.C。文章第四段最后提到“在一年中食物通常稀缺的时候,当较低的温度对身体产生更大的能量需求时,人们为了保存能量而作出适应性反应”,而这可能就是SAD的根源。31.B。根据全文可知,由于SAD形成的原因是气候寒冷,故缓解人们的季节性情感障碍的方法自然是多晒太阳,或尝试光治疗。32.B。细节推理题。根据第一段“The nervous systems of Caribbean box jellyfish...and make their way round it.”可知,水母的视神经束可以判断障碍物的远近,通过确定不同距离障碍物的视觉对比度来进行躲避,B选项:“依赖不同程度的视觉输人”符合原文描述,故选B。英语参考答案(附中版)一1 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 2024届湖南省长沙市湖南师范大学附属中学高三英语月考卷(七).docx 24届附中高三7次听力.mp3 英语答案(附中七次).pdf
