高三英语 3 / 10

{#{QQABRQaQggggAAJAABhCUQE4CkAQkAECAAoOREAAsAAAQAFABAA=}#}

This summer, Brian Peterson and his wife, Vanessa, had just moved to California. Outside

the couple’s fourth-floor apartment, an untidy homeless man was often yelling on the street corner,

sometimes keeping them awake at night.

One day, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does, about the

power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book’s

compassionate message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and

introduce himself.

In that first unexpected, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved

to California to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the

street for more than a decade. “It was the strangest thing to me,” Peterson recalled later. “I saw

beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year. But his story, the life inside of

him, inspired me.” And even though Peterson hadn’t picked up a brush in about eight years, he

found himself asking if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris said yes.

Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit

organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are

unhoused. Peterson sells the impressive 30-by-40-inch canvas signed by both subject and artist for

a few thousand dollars, splitting the profits and putting half into what he calls a “love account” for

his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet.

Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. But there’s more to the finished products

than the money they bring to someone down-and-out. He’s discovered that the buyers tend to

connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities with someone they might

have otherwise overlooked.

“People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people

differently now,’” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen.”

24. What inspired Brian Peterson to approach the homeless man?

A. The positive impact from Love Does.

B. The loud yell from the street comer.

C. The beauty he saw on the homeless’ face.

D. The desire to donate money to the homeless.

25. What does Peterson do with the profits from selling the portraits?

A. Uses them to fund the local disadvantaged communities.

B. Donates them to local homeless shelters and relief centers.

C. Invests them in his nonprofit organization, Faces of Santa Ana.

D. Gives money to the portrait subject and helps people regain stability.

26. What impact have the portraits had on buyers?

A. They have become friends with the homeless individuals.

B. They have stopped crossing the street to avoid the homeless.

C. They have gained profits from those who are down-and-out.

D. They have overcome their misunderstandings about the homeless.

27. What is the main purpose of Faces of Santa Ana?

A. To discover the root cause of homelessness.

B. To raise awareness about the homeless through art.

C. To provide resources and housing for the homeless.

D. To boost connection between artists and their subjects.

C

Chinese Teapot Escaping from British Museum Goes Viral

高三英语 4 / 10

{#{QQABRQaQggggAAJAABhCUQE4CkAQkAECAAoOREAAsAAAQAFABAA=}#}

Chinese state media has praised a viral video series telling the story of a jade teapot coming

to life and fleeing the British Museum to make its way back home.

The set of three short videos, entitled Escape from the British Museum, shows the teapot

turning into a young woman in a green dress, who then engages a London-based Chinese

journalist to help her reunite with her family. It appears to have struck a chord(弦)in China after

first being released by independent vloggers on Douyin. By Monday evening, it had reportedly

received more than 310 million views. The plot line taps into growing Chinese criticism of the

British Museum after reports last month that more than 1,500 priceless objects, including gold

jewelry, semi-precious stones and glass, were missing, stolen or damaged.

In August the state media Global Times called for the return of Chinese artifacts from the

museum “free of charge” in the wake of the controversy. “The huge holes in the management and

security of cultural objects in the British Museum exposed by this scandal(丑闻)have led to the

collapse of a long-standing and widely circulated claim that ‘foreign cultural objects are better

protected in the British Museum’,” it said. It strongly supported the video series for touching on a

“powerful message” about the importance of cultural heritage and reflecting “Chinese people’s

desiring for the repatriation of the Chinese cultural relics.”

State broadcaster CCTV also gave the short films a glowing review saying: “We are very

pleased to see Chinese young people are passionate about history and tradition… We are also

looking forward to the early return of Chinese artifacts that have been displayed overseas.”

The museum scandal made headlines around the world and reawakened earlier demands by

the Chinese media to restore the country’s relics. The new three-part show has triggered a wave of

nationalism among viewers, with many praising the creative plot that reduced them to tears by

showing how the teapot experienced the happiness of returning to China to see pandas and watch a

flag-raising ceremony on Tiananmen Square.

28. What excuse does Britain give for keeping other nations’ cultural objects in its museum?

A. It has taken possession of these objects by all lawful means.

B. These objects are safer and taken better care of in its museum.

C. It is requested by other nations to protect their cultural objects.

D. These objects may come to life, flee their countries and go viral.

29. What does the underlined word “repatriation” (Para. 3) probably mean?

A. Repair. B. Reflection. C. Reserve. D. Return.

30. Which of the following can we infer from the passage?

A. China had already demanded the restoration of its cultural relics before the scandal.

B. The museum’s awful management and security systems are involved in the scandal.

C. The Britain Museum is under pressure to return the cultural relics to China sooner or later.

D. A London-based Chinese journalist has contributed a lot to the viral three-part video series.

31. What’s the purpose of the passage?

A. To appeal to Britain to return China’s cultural objects.

B. To introduce a viral video series about a fleeing jade teapot.

C. To arouse readers’ concern about Chinese cultural objects abroad.

D. To praise Chinese young people’s passion for history and tradition.

D

Adapting to technological advances is a defining part of the 21st-century life. Just two months

after being launched in November 2022, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has already reached an audience of

over 100 million people. While ChatGPT threatens to change writing and writing-related work, the

Mesopotamians, who lived 4,000 years ago in a geographical area centered in modern-day Iraq,

高三英语 5 / 10

{#{QQABRQaQggggAAJAABhCUQE4CkAQkAECAAoOREAAsAAAQAFABAA=}#}

went through this kind of far-reaching change before us.

Ancient Mesopotamia ( 美 索 不 达 米 亚 ) was home to many of civilization’s early

developments. Its people were world leaders in adapting to technological and cultural changes.

They invented the wheel and agriculture, and pioneered advances in mathematics and urbanization.

These breakthroughs are reflected in cuneiform(楔形文字)literature, one of the oldest known

forms of writing.

In its literature, Mesopotamians don’t present cultural and technological advances as

consistently beneficial. They often represent new technologies being controlled in the service of

human conflict and mostly serving the interests of those with high social positions. In some ways,

the representation of new technologies in its literature echoes(映现)contemporary concerns about

AI: fears of increasing social inequalities and its potential use in information war.

In recent years,AI-the newest form of writing-has been used to decipher(破译)the oldest:

cuneiform literature. In broader fields, the boundaries of how AI may be used haven’t been clearly

explained. In January, for example, a top international AI conference banned the use of AI tools

for writing scientific papers.

Humans have been struggling to invent, use and adapt to technology since our earliest

civilizations. But the technology and resulting knowledge are not always evenly distributed.

Knowing how we adapted to changing technology in the past helps us more fully understand the

human condition and may even help us prepare for the future.

32. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning Mesopotamians?

A. Their adaptation to threats.

B. Their influences on writing.

C. Their achievements in civilization.

D. Their contributions to literature.

33. What can be inferred about technological advances from paragraph 3?

A. They bring about hidden dangers.

B. They prevent human conflict.

C. They take away people’s concerns.

D. They lower people’s social status.

34. What is the current situation of AI according to paragraph 4?

A. Its use in literature is popular.

B. Its range of application is undefined.

C. It is not allowed to finish papers.

D. It is not accepted in broader fields.

35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?

A. How People Can Use the Latest Technology

B. How ChatGPT Will Threaten Writing and Work

C. What AI Will Do by Learning Cuneiform Literature

D. What History Can Teach Us About New Tech’s Impact

Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when

____36____

FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to

our own, others might be having rewarding experiences from which one is absent. It appears as a

高三英语 6 / 10

{#{QQABRQaQggggAAJAABhCUQE4CkAQkAECAAoOREAAsAAAQAFABAA=}#}

deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-respect.

While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature, social media seems to

have added fuel to the fire. ____37____ Social media, with its built-in appeal, allows us to share

only the best presentations of our life, while leaving out the more boring aspects. Although this

could be characterized as dishonest, it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand. So how do

we avoid being trapped into our own insecurities by social media?

Consider your own social media posts. ____38____ Well, so have others. And what they’ve

left hidden is the fact that boredom, loneliness and unpleasant household chores are an unavoidable

part of everyone’s life, and you’re not the only one feeling left out.

____39____ You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks, but you

have your health, a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives.

Learn to shake it off. We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections, but

really, what does it matter? ____40____ And even if you are more easily affected than others by

social media envy, all you need to do is to look around and acknowledge that you are doing pretty

well after all. Live in the moment, and you’ll find nothing is missing out in our life!

A. If so, you are not alone.

B. Value your friends in real life.

C. Learn to appreciate the positives.

D. Why does it have such a stimulating effect?

E. They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show.

F. The feeling that we are left out has long-term damaging psychological consequences.

G. Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the finest conclusions about your life?

While living here for the past four months has been a big ___49___, there are many benefits

to living off the grid(电网). I think one of the most ___50___ lessons is teaching my kids the

turning off the water while brushing our teeth. ___52___, we are also trying to make other

changes which include reducing the amount of trash we generate by ___53___, growing our own

organic vegetables and re-purposing things that we would ___54___ throw.

Overall, going off the grid has been ___55___ to our family. I hope that once my kids move

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。

Sue was 83 years old and lived by the ocean shore in a big beautiful house. She wished her

son Steve would visit her, even if for only a day. Of course, the young man had a family of his

own now, a darling little daughter Eva, and a business to take care of. Steve got on video calls

with Sue every other day. However, Sue thought of her son and granddaughter, wishing she was

with them. One day, Sue heard sounds from the neighboring house. Sue looked through the

window and was delighted to see that she had new neighbors.

One morning, when Sue woke up and walked along the shore, she heard the sounds of water

being splashed and the sound of children laughing wildly. She followed the sound and was

concerned on finding the twins from the neighboring house standing, knee deep in ocean water.

Something didn’t feel right. “Why would anyone leave their kids unattended on the shore?” Sue

thought. She grabbed the kids’ hands and walked them to their home. As Sue opened the door, she

found the young mother lying unconscious on the kitchen floor. Sue didn’t waste a second in

calling 911.

The first responders managed to revive(恢复)her consciousness on the spot. “My boys!

Ralph! Ray!” the woman cried out to her kids as the ambulance took her away. Sue said, “Don’t

worry. Everything will be alright. I’ll take care of your sweet boys.” She kept her promise and

looked after the kids like a grandmother. She took Ralph and Ray in and let them sleep in the

bedroom that was specially made for her granddaughter Eva.

It was during these days that she knew that the boys’ father died of illness. Sue knew that the

neighbor, Selina, had been trying to make ends meet by selling sweaters and socks that she knit.

Looking at Selina’s children eat and drink with such joy, she realized how much she longed to see

her little Eva. By the time Selina came home from the hospital, the kids had already started calling

Sue “Grandma”.
