To find different communities that had unique relationships with nature, I moved to Manaus in the Amazon Rainforest to feel the energy of the forest and see the local people’s integration with the forest. I discovered we can have many relationships with nature that aren’t always detrimental to those places.They took care of the land and cultivated these gardens filled with fruits and nuts we loved eating without harming the forest. I think many people unaware of how the local communities have shaped a “completely” natural space. The Amazon Rainforest is not just created by natural processes.Doing research in the field could be a big challenge. We often went to really isolated places when doing field work in the Amazon Rainforest. We were aware that if anything happened to us, we could die. If a venomous snake were to bite you out there, you would be in a dangerous situation. We needed to manage those feelings while doing our work and collecting data.I worked on an article about how we could engage native knowledge in conservation science. We had held small meetings with five native researchers, talking about how they viewed the Amazon Rainforest and trying to understand how we could maintain the Amazon Rainforest in the future. These conversations led me to start reflecting on how we did science.I submitted our paper to two other scientific journals before it was accepted. At the time, I didn’t feel that the article was good enough to be published in a major scientific journal like Science. I tried other journals and was rejected immediately. My coauthors and supervisors said that we had nothing to lose by submitting it to Science. We tried again and they accepted it. That experience has showed me that we need to commit ourselves to what we think we should do. We cannot give up when it comes to science. We need determination.What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Similar.B. Relevant.C. Harmful.D. Beneficial.What impressed the author most about Manaus?A. The locals’ care for nature.B. The change of natural processes.C. The local communities’ relationships.D. The situation of the Amazon Rainforest.Which of the following can best describe the author’s field work?A. Tiring. B. Risky. C. Costly. D. Demanding.Why does the author mention the experience of submitting the paper?A. To reveal backgrounds.B. To establish credibility.C. To highlight challenges.D. To demonstrate resolve.CNearly two decades ago, Facebook exploded on college campuses as a site for students to stay in touch. Then came Twitter, where people posted about what they had for breakfast, and Instagram, where friends shared photos to keep up with one another. Today, the kinds of posts where people update friends and family about their lives have become harder to see over the years as the biggest sites have become increasingly “corporatized (企业化的) .” Instead of seeing messages and photos from friends and relatives about their holidays or fancy dinners, users of Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter and Snapchat now often view professionalized content from brands, influencers and others that pay for placement. The change has impacted large social networking companies and how people interact with one another digitally. As big social networks made connecting people with brands a much greater focus than connecting them with other people, some users have started seeking sites targeting communities and apps devoted to specific hobbies and issues. “Platforms as we knew them are over,” said Zizi Papacharissi, a communications professor at the University of Illinois Chicago. “They have outlived their usefulness.”The shift helps explain why some social networking companies are now exploring new fields of business. For users, this means that instead of spending all their time on one or a few big social networks, some are turning to smaller, more focused sites. These include Nextdoor, a social network for neighbors. “It's not about choosing one network to rule them all—that is crazy Silicon Valley logic,” said Ethan Zuckerman, a professor of public policy at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. “The future is that you’re a member of dozens of different communities because as human beings, that's how we are. The idea that a new social media site might come along to be the one app for everyone appears unrealistic. People’s online identities will become increasingly fragmented (碎片化的) among multiple sites.”What does the author say about the current major social networking sites? A. Their content is getting more and more lifestyle-focused. B. Their users’ interest in professional content is decreasing. C. They fail to provide adequate support for college communities D. They now rarely see updates about friends’ and family’s lives. What is Zizi Papacharissi' attitude towards traditional social media platforms? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral D. Indifferent. What can we infer from the last paragraph about future social media usage? A. People will choose online apps more carefully. B. People will change their online identities at will. C. People will join numerous specialized communities. D. People will prefer to use traditional social platformsWhat would be the best title for the text? A. The rise of the corporatized tech giants. B. The evolution of social media platforms. C. The history of social networking companies.D. The challenges faced by major platforms. DNo one likes interruption. We are born to seek balance and order. No matter what it is that you are doing, being interrupted involves a forceful stop midway and then having to re-enter your previous state, sometimes with great difficulty.Popular belief has it that interruption breaks the flow of your thinking and affects productivity negatively, and so it is advisable that you have an uninterrupted session of intensive work before your next break.However, a Russian psychologist, Bluma Zeigarnik, might tell you otherwise.The connection between interruption and memory came to her attention when she was dining in a restaurant. She noticed how the waitresses had an amazing memory of the detailed orders yet to be paid for, but scarce memory of the orders that were already completed.Back in her laboratory, she conducted studies in which subjects were required to complete various puzzles. Some of the subjects were interrupted during the tasks. All the subjects were then asked to describe what tasks they had done. It turns out that adults remembered the interrupted tasks 90% better than the completed tasks, and that children were even more likely to recall the uncompleted tasks. In other words, uncompleted tasks will stay on your mind until you finish them!In comparison to tasks that were already finished and ones that we haven’t even started, half-done projects are given the priority in the mental to-do list our brains sketch out for us. Zeigarnik described this finding in her doctoral thesis (论文) in the late 1920s, which was later called Zeigarnik effect.One possible explanation is that with interrupted tasks, we are desperate for their closure to reclaim a sense of balance. Finishing them also means that we can finally clear up the mental backlog (积压的工作) and give the space to more upcoming tasks.Zeigarnik’s effect can be found everywhere, especially used in media and advertising. Have you ever wondered why cliffhangers work so well or why you just can’t get yourself to stop watching that series on Netflix?Ernest Hemingway once said about writing a novel, “It is the wait until the next day that is hard to get through.” So next time, when you are interrupted, appreciate it and take advantage of it to promote your productivity.What is a common practice to finish a task?A. Working in a focused period.B. Working with occasional breaks.C. Working with a stop midway.D. Working in an interrupted session.What is the finding of the Zeigarnik’s experiment?A. Interruption recalls details.B. Interruption disturbs balance.C. Interruption betters memory.D. Interruption reduces productivity.What is the possible reason behind Zeigarnik’s effect?A. The desire for balance.B. The physical backlog.C. The outside pressure.D. The upcoming tasks.Which of the following is an example of the application of Zeigarnik’s effect?A. Fashion shows.B. Online news.C. Talk shows.D. TV series.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。You might have heard of the expression “a guilty pleasure”—maybe it’s the chocolate bar you buy on the way home from work, or the new clothes that you don’t really need. 36 . Perhaps we don’t feel we deserved it, or we don’t think it was a responsible way to spend our money. But should we feel like this? Do we really have to feel guilty about treating ourselves?Perhaps not. Psychologists have suggested that buying things for yourself can make you feel better as it provides an opportunity to take control of your situation. 37 . It may be that as well as lifting your mood, when you buy a treat, you might just be looking after yourself.Of course, there are also examples of people turning to destructive behaviour when faced with stressful circumstances. People might spend money that they don’t have or turn to dangerous addictions. Psychologist Leon Seltzer considers the difference between self-indulgence and self-nurturing. 38 , while self-nurturing is taking responsible decisions to satisfy our needs and take care of ourselves in ways that don’t have a significant impact. 39 . So, many universities publish guides with advice for coping with exam stress. Reflecting the difference between self-indulgence and self-nurture, they recommend rewarding yourself for your efforts, doing things that you enjoy and are good at so that you can feel accomplishment. 40 . Thus, perhaps, as long as we make responsible decisions, we shouldn’t feel guilty about our guilty pleasures.A．Exams are vital for students.B．Self-indulgence can have negative consequencesC．The difference becomes evident when students manage exam pressureD．They also recommend embracing activities that could dampen your spiritsE．Besides, you should avoid things that may make you feel worse afterwardsF．It comes from the idea that when we treat ourselves, it can sometimes leave us feeling guiltyG．It can give you social contact as well as a confidence boost from changes you make to your self-image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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。In my last year of high school, I was under great pressure.

She had just returned from visiting her older mother in Los Angles and had traveled the route many times before. She drove on autopilot(自动驾驶) practically and skillfully: a left onto Station Road, then a left on Montauk Highway, and then suddenly—wham!Out of nowhere on that awful night a truck hit Janice’s car, violently pushing her to move backward some 100 feet away onto the railroad tracks. She sat in the car, bruised(撞伤) but mostly just knocked out by the impact and by the vehicle’s airbags.As it happened, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for bed. He’d just closed his book, turned off the light and was lazily crawling under the covers when he heard the high-pitched clang sound of metal on metal and breaking glass coming from not far outside his bedroom window. As a volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, 64, instantly became alert and never stopped to think. He quickly grabbed a big professional flashlight out of habit, put his own cellphone in the pocket of his pajamas(睡衣), and hurriedly ran out the door without getting changed. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he later told Newsday. “We’re always on duty.”The first truck DiPinto came upon, 2,000 feet away from his front yard, was the one that had hit Janice, who was trapped in her car still, her eyes closed and her mind semiconscious. He looked around and spotted one wheel of Janice’s car positioned on the railroad tracks.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。Para1: And then he heard a terrible sound: the bells signaling an oncoming train.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Para2: The heavy train, traveling at 65 miles per hour, crashed into the car. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________高三九月月考英语答案、解析及听力原文听力1-5 CBABA6-10 BACAB11-15 CBAAC16-20 BCABC 阅读理解21-25 BADCA 26-30 BDDBC31-35 BACAD七选五 36-40 FGBCE完形填空 41-45 BCACB46-50 CADBB51-55 CADDB语法填空hottest 57. necessity 58.

Student Union 读后续写 And then he heard a terrible sound: the bells signaling an oncoming train. DiPinto’s heart froze in his chest as he realized the upcoming danger. Without any delay, he rushed towards Janice’s car. After quickly assessing the situation, despite the huge potential risk, DiPinto swiftly smashed open the car’s window with his big professional flashlight, swung open the door and mightily pulled Janice out of the vehicle before it was too late. The speeding train was roaring towards the car like a monster in times of crisis.The heavy train, traveling at 65 miles per hour, crashed into the car. With a loud bang, the car was knocked off. Some flying debris shooting in all directions, DiPinto instinctively protected Janice from being hurt again with his own body. Fortunately, they both narrowly escaped! DiPinto calmly dialed 911 and it didn’t take long before Janice was rushed to hospital. Thanks to DiPinto’s heroic rescue, Janice had a near brush with death. Afterward, DiPinto was reported and awarded “A Hero in Pajamas” to honor his fearless and selfless actions.
