With a timer, a headphone connector, and a large range of sounds, you’ll be able to find the right set up for you. That’s where it comes in to mask all that unwanted environmental noise—or lack of—so you can get more rest.Keep in MindThe device isn’t battery-operated, so it’ll need to stay plugged into a power source.It does everything you need it to, and then some, for a very reasonable price. It plays non-repeating digital noise in a range of colors: It has 10 fan sounds, 10 environmental noise sounds—including pink and brown noise, and two ocean soundscapes.The device is super simple to use, and once you’ve picked your favorite type of noise, it will be saved in the settings, and the machine will auto play that sound each time you turn it on. The speaker produces a clear and crisp sound, and there’s a wide volume range. It also comes with an optional time you can set between one to eight hours, or play continuously, plus a 3.5mm connector for headphones if your partner isn’t quite as keen on white noise as you are.It’s compact enough to travel everywhere with you, and as white noise machines go, it looks pretty good, too. It certainly won’t look out of place on your bedside table. You can power the LectroFan EVO via USB or the included A/C adaptor, but it doesn’t have an internal battery, so it does need to be plugged in.Price at time of publish: $35Product Details: Dimensions: It’s 4.7 inches long and 3. 3 inches in height.

My great enthusiasm was dampened to find just more crayon inside. When I started writing words with pencils, I would twist them inside a sharpener to see if the pencil lead went all the way through the body. Growing up, I saw my television taken apart to reveal the inner workings that only made sense when I did a degree in physics.Then I landed a career in engineering, spending six years as part of the team that designed the Shard, a famous building in London. Actually, whether I knew it or not, I was already on a mission to understand how things are formed.After exploring the big, I decided to turn to the small. I realized whatever matter forms human-made objects, complex devices are made up of fundamental building blocks, without which our complex machinery wouldn’t exist.It is this idea that inspired my book where I select what I believe are seven core elements that form the basis of the world—the nail, the wheel, the spring, the magnet, the lens, the pump and the string. Together they compose a vast range of innovations in terms of their underlying (潜在的) scientific principles and the fields of engineering they touch. They’ve changed our technology, and had a sweeping impact on our history, arts, culture, communication, political and power structures, etc. The blender we use to make baby’s food relies on gears (齿轮), which couldn’t exist without the wheel. The speaker on the phone relies on a magnet. Even when we think of larger and more complex objects—diggers, skyscrapers, satellites—we come back to the same seven foundational innovations.So, look around you, and ask questions about what you see: reignite(重燃) that childhood curiosity. Hopefully, that will inspire you to investigate and lead you to a better understanding of the building blocks of our world.24. Why does the author mention crayons in paragraph 1?A. To explain his choice of college major.B. To demonstrate his fascination with tools.C. To highlight his disappointment at the discovery.D. To show his early passion for the insides of objects.25. What made the author’s book possible?A. His experience in designing buildings.B. His understanding of the origin of things.C. His finding of the components of machinery.D. His perspective on the operation of the world.26. What do we know about the seven core elements?A. They throw light on scientific principles.B. They have a profound influence on society.C. They mark an era of technological innovation.D. They represent the advancement in engineering.27. What can be the best title for the text?A. Small Things That CountB. Big Dreams That RewardC. Ask the Right QuestionsD. Understand Core ElementsCI don’t think translation apps will make learning foreign languages completely outdated. No program can accurately recreate the implication of real conversation. For example, by dropping “will” or “am going to” in “Tomorrow I start my diet,” I am implying a previous delay of the diet. A typical translation by apps would be “Tomorrow I am going to start my diet,” which gets across the basic idea but lacks the intended implication.However, technology is eliminating the need to learn foreign languages for practical purposes such as reserving hotel rooms or ordering meals in a foreign country, since practicality is why most people want to learn a new language.Douglas Hofstadter, a cognitive scientist, sees his mastery of foreign languages as a reflection of his identity. As an enthusiastic language learner myself, I don’t entirely share his perspective, but I do agree with the writer Graeme Wood, who has noted “to actively enjoy piecing together how other languages work is an individual quirk (怪癖), not a human universal.” True enthusiasts learn new languages for the sheer joys of discovery or accomplishment. Most people, however, are uninterested in this odd desire. Some would say a foreign language is a window into a new way of processing the world. But did the humble level of French or Spanish we picked up in school provide us with a new lens on the world? If our goal is getting directions to the bus station in Rome, technology now makes that possible at the press of a button.As someone endlessly fascinated by languages, I am working hard to accept this new reality. With an iPhone handy and an appropriate app downloaded, foreign languages will no longer present most people with the barrier they once did. Learning a new language will likely become a pursuit of interest to a much smaller but more committed set of enthusiasts.28. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The function of real conversation.B. The importance of accurate translation.C. The limitation of translation technology.D. The necessity of learning foreign languages.29. Why does the author learn new languages?A. To satisfy an inner desire.B. To display his individuality.C. To serve practical purposes.D. To explore his core identity.30. What does the author think of foreign language lessons in school?A. Uninspiring. B. Irrelevant C. Inflexible. D. Insufficient.31. What does “this new reality” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Language enthusiasts will lose their passion.B. Foreign languages won’t pose big challenges.C. Many people will quit learning new languages.D. Learning languages is no longer a personal choice.DIs forgiveness against our human nature? To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essence of our humanity? For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views of humanity. The first view involves dominance and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans’ essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them.The second view involves the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony?From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged(不和的) accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.As an important note, when we take a Classical philosophical perspective, that of Aristotle, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, its actual appropriation in conflict situations, develops with practice.32. What is Droll’s idea about forgiveness?A. People should offer mercy to others.B. Aggressive people should learn to forgive.C. Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity.D. People who forgive can have their own welfare affected.33. What does the example in Paragraph 2 illustrate?A. To forgive is to love.B. To fight is to grow.C. To dominate is to harm.D. To give is to receive.34. What is the writer’s attitude toward forgiveness?A. Objective.B. Reserved.C. Favorable.D. Skeptical.35. What is message of the last paragraph?A. Forgiveness is in our nature.B. It takes practice to forgive.C. Forgiveness grows with time.D. Actuality is based on potentiality.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。“I am dying of boredom,” complains the young wife Yelena in Chekhov’s 1987 play Uncle Vanya. Of course, if Yelena were around today, we know what she would do: pull out her smartphone and find something fun. Today it is easy to get rid of boredom. 36 That is the finding of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinking. The result? 37 In the second study, subjects gave more answers to a word test than a non-bored control group after being forced to watch a dull screensaver.“An restless mind hungers for stimulation, so boredom becomes a seeking state,” says Sandi Mann, the psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. “ 38 ” Parents will tell you that kids with “nothing to do” will eventually invent some fun games to play—with a cardboard box, a light switch, whatever.The problem, the researchers worry, is that these days we don’t struggle to overcome these slow moments. “ 39 ” Mann says. “This might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking.” So here is an idea: Instead of always avoiding boredom, embrace and face it. Sometimes, anyway. Mann has found she gets some of her best thinking done when she is driving her car and therefore can’t be distracted by her phone. 40 The good type inspires you to see what can come of it. The bad type, in contrast, tires you and makes you feel like you can’t be bothered to do anything. An important part of our modern task, then, is learning to evaluate these different types of boredom—to distinguish the useful kind from the harmful one.A. And there is, of course, bad boredom.B. Bored subjects came up with more creative ideas.C. But what if boredom is a meaningful experience?D. These moments are a lot more valuable than expected.E. Actually, tips on getting away from boredom are countless.F. We try to kill every moment of boredom with mobile devices.G. When not satisfied with your state, you’re seeking and engaged.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）Back in the days when I was just a young student, I was always absent from school ___41___, too shy to step into the public attention.

He had committed to doing everything it took to win a scholarship to study at a good university. But nothing was more important to the 17-year-old boy than supporting his mother who was sick. After school hours, he would work as a bagboy at the local grocery store. Together, Logan and his mother managed to make ends meet while still fighting to achieve bigger dreams.Now right outside the grocery store, Logan spotted a familiar face. “Mr. Peters!” Logan called out to the old man holding crutches (拐杖), whom he recognized as his new neighbor. Mr. Peters waved at Logan.Logan happily helped the old man find what he needed and helped him bill the items, too.“That will be $23, Mr. Peters,” Logan said.Mr. Peters was taken aback by the bill’s amount. He asked, “And how much without the fruits?”“$19, sir.”“I see.” Mr. Peters looked in his wallet. He studied the bill and said, “Actually, I’ll just take the greens, thank you.”“You know what? Here, let me pay for your order. It looks like you may have … left your card at home or something.”Mr. Peters didn’t see this kind gesture coming, and even though it hurt his pride a little, he accepted the boy’s help.Logan paid for the order and handed the bags to the old man. But Mr. Peters could only move a few steps forward as he tried to hold all the groceries without the crutches slipping away Logan rushed to Mr. Peters and offered to carry the groceries to his home. It was a short walk, but the two men were engaged in conversation all the way.“What are you doing working at a grocery store? You look like you should be in college!” Mr.Peter asked.On listening to Logan’s story, Mr. Peters was moved and thought he should do something. “It was lovely to meet you, Logan. Maybe you could pop in after your shift at the store today?” he asked.Logan agreed, suspecting that the man probably needed some help around the house.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。After work, Logan knocked on his neighbor’s door and discovered the most astonishing thing about the old man.“I’ve asked some former workmates to notice a scholarship application from a young man named Logan,” Mr. Peters continued. 高三10月月考答案听力1-5 BBCCC6-10 BAABC 11-15 BCABB 16-20 ACCAA阅读21-23 CBB 24-27 DCBA 28-31CADC 32-35 DCCB七选五36-40 CBGFA完形填空：41-45 DCABB 46-50 ACBDA 51-55 DBACC语法填空：56. it 57. was making 58. universally 59.

In the center of the narrow living room stood a tall shelf filled with rows of awards. “These are all......yours?” he stammered, his eyebrows raised at the sight. “Yes. You see, I used to be a professor of the history department at a university.” The gentleman began to share his absorbing experiences about his old teaching days. Logan’s jaw dropped as he realized he was in the presence of an extraordinary figure. “But I haven’t just called you to show off, son,” Mr. Peters explained.“I’ve asked some former workmates to notice a scholarship application from a young man named Logan.” Mr. Peters continued. Overjoyed and grateful beyond words, Logan felt tears brimming in his eyes. “It won’t be easy to secure this scholarship, but if you’re willing to put in the work, I’m positioned to help you.” Mr. Peters offered wholeheartedly. “Absolutely! Thank you! Mr. Peters.” Logan responded excitedly. In the subsequent months, with unwavering determination, he followed every piece of guidance extended by Mr. Peters. Ultimately, Logan got a letter from his dream university saying he had been awarded the Presidential Scholarship! It was his kindness that made him get the opportunity.
