学年河南省豫北名校高三毕业班一轮复习新高考英语联考试题（二）

Here is a guide of what to watch in 2023.

Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One

Mission: Impossible film series has become one of the most popular action films. Even people with

a limited appetite for action or Tom Cruise are often swept away by these films. The seventh chapter

of the series, Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One, features even bigger stunts(

特技表

演

)than ever before. Writer-director Christopher McQuarrie of the sixth film Mission: Impossible—

Fallout is back for Dead Reckoning, which will arrive in two parts, this summer and next.

When: July 12

Elemental

If Pixar Animation Studios’ digitizers could bring emotions to vivid life in Inside Out, imagine

what they can do for more physical substances like Air, Earth, Fire and Water. And if a friendship

should blossom where co-existence appears a little tricky, what better way to make a case for folks

learning to get along.

When: Aug. 19

The Last Voyage of the Demeter

Even if you think the story of Dracula has been done to death———or undeath, technically—the

makers of this film found a new way in by cutting down the thinnest slice of Bram Stoker's novel,

namely, the chapter that takes place on the ship that, unknown to its crew, is transporting Dracula to

England. Things don't go well. Put it that way: This high-seas horror, directed by André Øvredal,

has a lot of fun with different creatures.

When: Aug. 11

Being Mary Tyler Moore

With her sunny smile, humor and modest style, Mary Tyler Moore became a situation comedy queen

with a 60-year career in TV, stage and film. HBO’s film reflects the reality of her life, including

struggles against diseases. At times, the narrative is a bit too careful, content to only indicate the

darker side of a performer.

When: May 26

“Thank you for letting me observe your classes. It was an unusual experience,” the email began,

which got my heart racing.

I am an industry scientist, and in my spare time I was teaching a course for computer science

students at a local university. By that point in the semester, I hadn't asked the students to solve any

technical problems or even open their computers. Instead, I taught them teamwork and

communication and skills they

．

’d need in industry. My approach caught the attention of the

university, so a teaching expert appeared in my class. This made me wonder whether university

officials would agree with the unique view I brought from industry—or remove me from the

classroom.

I thought of these lessons when I started to develop the university class. The part-time role was

appealing because I was eager to share my expertise and get back to working with students. But I

didn’t want to use my old teaching style, which focused on lectures and whiteboard exercises. I

wanted to develop the same qualities I was looking for in job candidates at my company.

I decided to use games and challenges to encourage teamwork and creativity. In one, students had to

work together to decide how to survive a tough desert environment. In another, they built the tallest

structure they could out of spaghetti and candies. The teaching expert sat in on one such class.

I worried they might have been taken aback(

吓到

). But after that unsettling opening, their email was

positive: “I understand the important message you

．

're conveying,” they wrote. “Today's industry is

about people, not just computers. Keep up the good work.” Hearing that my teaching had a positive

impact on their career paths was truly rewarding.

In the end, education is not just about sharing knowledge. It's also about helping students develop

soft skills that will help them succeed wherever they plan to go, be it academia or industry.

While some critics claim that history curricula(

课程

) teach unnecessary content, others argue that

these curricula need to be more comprehensive. Despite ongoing debates about content, one

universal truth remains: strong history curricula are necessary for developing the productive citizens

of tomorrow.

The greatest academic value that history curricula provide is not the recall of important dates and

names. Rather, understanding the historical inquiry process is the most important component. This

process teaches students how to become critical thinkers and understand the dynamic nature of the

telling of history.

Through strong history curricula, students are shown both a variety of primary and secondary

sources and are taught to critique them. This is where the historical inquiry process begins. Students

not only begin to analyze and ask questions about the content, but they also learn about the author's

credibility and potential bias(

偏见

). Students are then able to contextualize the information they

learn and can think more critically about historical con text and those who tell it.

With this framework, students can then understand the causal relationship between human nature,

values, philosophy, actions, and their consequences. It teaches students to recognize recurrent

themes and lessons that are necessary to understand modern society. Most importantly, it teaches

students to develop a healthy skepticism(

怀疑论

) when presented with information today because

our actions are history in the making.

Forty years ago, renowned scholar James Fitzgerald argued that no education is complete without

the teaching of historical inquiry. He believed that the only way to move forward in life is to

understand what's behind us.

Today, this principle still holds true. Students take both the factual knowledge and the historical

inquiry skills they learn in the classroom and apply them to real world circumstances. Throughout

their lives, students who are taught with strong history curricula will take the lessons they learn from

our predecessors and become involved, active, productive citizens who want to create a history that

tomorrow's students will be proud to learn about.

Elephants eat plants. That's common knowledge to biologists and animal-loving, schoolchildren

alike. Yet figuring out exactly what kind of plants they eat is more complicated.

A new study from a global team that included Brown University conservation biologists used

innovative methods to efficiently and precisely analyze the dietary habits of elephants in Kenya.

Their findings on the habits of individual elephants help answer important questions about group

food searching behaviors, and aid biologists in understanding the conservation approaches that best

keep elephants not only sated(

饱的

) but satisfied.

“When I talk to non-ecologists, they are surprised to learn that we have never really had a clear

picture of what all of these large animals actually eat in nature,”Kartzinel, an expert botanist who

has conducted field research in Kenya, said. “The reason is that these animals are difficult and

dangerous to observe from up-close, they move long distances, they feed at night and in thick bush

and a lot of the plants they feed on are quite small.”

Then the team compared the diets of individual elephants through time. In their analysis, they

showed that dietary differences among individuals were often far greater than what had been

previously assumed, even among family members that ate together on a given day.

This study helps address a classic paradox(

悖论

) in wildlife ecology. Kartzinel said: “How do social

bonds hold family groups together in a world of limited resources?” In other words, given that

elephants all seemingly eat the same plants, it's not obvious why competition for food doesn't push

them apart and force them to search for food independently.

“The simple answer is that elephants vary their diets based not only on what's available but also their

preferences and physiological needs,” said Kartzinel. These findings help inform theories of why a

group of elephants may search for food together: The individual elephants don't always eat exactly

the same plants at the same time, so there will usually be enough plants to go around.

These findings may offer valuable insights for conservation biologists. To protect elephants and

create environments in which they can successfully grow their populations, they need a variety of

plants to eat.

12. What did the new study focus on?

A

．

The results of conservation approaches.

C

．

Ways to protect elephants from starving.

13. What can we infer from paragraph 3?

A

．

Elephants are hard to monitor.

C

．

Elephants are kind and friendly animals.

B

．

Elephants only live in thick bush.

D

．

Elephants seldom eat with humans

around.

B

．

The eating habits of elephants.

D

．

Elephants’ social behavior and needs.

14. What message can conservation biologists get from the study?

A

．

It is necessary for elephants to live together.

B

．

It is possible to observe elephants up-close.

C

．

It is social bonds that hold elephants together.

D

．

It is important to protect the variety of plants.

15. Which word can be used to describe the study?

A

．

Inaccurate.

How To Stop Bein g A People Pleaser

As a recovering people pleaser, I spent much of my life keeping others happy. Breaking this habit

meant stepping on a few toes. However, I've become a happier person as a result. Here are some tips

I used to stop being a people pleaser.

Identify your priorities. Take a moment to think about why you are trying to learn how to stop being

a people pleaser. 16 Why do you feel the need to keep them happy? Answering these questions will

help you set a goal that you can hold yourself accountable to.

Just say “no”. One reason why people pleasers say “yes” to everything is that they fear disappointing

others. 17 If you are a people pleaser, you are likely to spend lots of energy trying to control how

people feel about you. The best thing you can do is let them feel their feelings. It will feel liberating

to free yourself from being responsible for someone else's reaction.

18 Saying “no” is a good way to set better boundaries in your important relationships. All healthy

relationships have their own boundaries. If you haven't set boundaries in your relationships, the odds

are that at some point you will end up feeling pressured to do something you don't want to do.

Accept yourself. Many people pleasers are insecure about who they are. 19 Check out our summary

of Brené Brown’s the Gifts of Imperfection to learn how to accept your imperfections and love

yourself.

B

．

Shocking. C

．

Beneficial. D

．

Subjective.
