(2023届上海市崇明区高三上学期一模)Laziness and Lack of Sleep Can Shorten Your Life, Especially When Combined
You already know that smoking is bad for you and that drinking too much alcohol may shorten your life. Now
a new study says that spending too much time in a chair and not having enough sleep should join a short list of
behaviors ____21____ (know) to increase your risk of premature death.
Sitting for a long time and lack of sleep were damaging in their own way, but when combined with more
traditional risk factors, ____22____ had a multiplier effect that made an early death far more likely.
The findings, published in the journal PLOS Medicine, make clear that “some risk behaviors tend to come
together and ____23____ the joint risk could be much higher than the sum of the individual risks”.
For instance, smoking was ____24____ (dangerous) single risk factor among the six studied. The small
number of people for ____25____ smoking was their only bad habit were 90 percent more likely to die during the
course of the study than people who were with practical clean living in every aspect. People who reported high
alcohol consumption as their only risk factor did not seem ____26____ (put) their lives in danger. But for those
who combined heavy drinking with smoking, the risk of premature death was doubled. And when lack of sleep
____27____ (add) to the mix, the likelihood of an early death was nearly five times greater ____28____ lack of
sleep by itself had only a light effect on death.
These numbers are based on the lives of 231,048 Australians.
____29____ (consider) factors such as age, gender, education and other factors, the researchers saw a clear
pattern. It was a person’s bad lifestyle ____30____ contributed to his or her risk of premature death.
Section B

When an endangered seabird hits a power line, it makes a sound “very much like the laser sound from Star
Wars,” says conservation biologist Marc Travers. He should know, as his team from the Endangered Seabird
Recovery Project ___31___ thousands of hours of audio to determine if power lines affected local seabirds. Travers
was trying to help establish how frequently birds are killed by power lines on the island of Kauai in Hawaii in 2011.
His team recorded 600 hours of audio and sent the recordings to Conservation Metrics, a company that assists
conservation efforts with AI ___32___. Conservation Metrics used a program to “listen” to the recordings andcount the sounds that ___33___ bird electrocutions(电击). The result was ___34___, as the number of bird
electrocutions was in the thousands. Armed with proof that power lines were killing a significant number of birds,
the team worked with the local utility (公共事业) service to reduce bird deaths.
In science fiction stories such as The Matrix, AI-powered ___35___ take over the world and end life on the
planet as we know it. But in reality, programs that use AI to sort through mountains of data might just save some
species from disappearing ___36___.
By many measures, humans have been poor managers of the planet. Humans have ___37___ as much as 97
percent of land ecosystems. Key populations of monitored animals have declined as much as 68 percent since 1970.
The decline in biodiversity around the world has created a hopeless situation. Conservation efforts lack key
resources they need to be ___38___.
Fortunately, humans now have AI-based tools that can help. AI can quickly and ___39___ sort through large
amounts of data created by observations in the field. Then other programs such as PAWS (Protection Assistant for
Wildlife Security) can help analyze the data and suggest the most effective ways to focus conservation efforts.
In large national parks and wildlife reserves, illegal hunters are a danger for animals both big and small. Some
animals are worth a lot of money on the black market. Park rangers are left with a(n) ____40____ task because
there is too much land to cover. But the PAWS program allows rangers to focus their efforts. PAWS has even
predicted the existence of trap lines in areas not yet checked by rangers!
We still face many challenges to change the loss of wildlife, but AI-powered programs promise to be a
powerful conservation tool.
Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
(2023届上海市金山区高三上学期一模)
In 2007, a group of researchers began testing a concept that seems as if it would never need testing: Is more
happiness always better than less? The researchers asked college students to rate their feelings on a scale from
“unhappy” to “very happy” and compared the results with academic and social outcomes. Although the “very
happy” participants had brilliant social lives, they performed ____41____ in school than those who were merely
“happy”.
The researchers then examined a data set from another study that rated college freshmen’s “cheerfulness” and____42____ their income nearly two decades later. They found that the most ____43____ were not the highest
earners. That distinction (荣誉) once again went to the second-highest group, which rated their cheerfulness as
“above average.”
As with everything in life, happiness has its ____44____. Pursuing happiness to the exclusion of other goals-
known as psychological hedonism (享乐主义)—is____45____. It gives a life where you do not reach your full
potential, where you are ____46____ to take risks, where you choose temporary pleasures over challenging
experiences that give life meaning.
When I talk with people about their fear of negative outcomes in life, their true source of fear, in many cases,
____47____ how they will feel about having failed, not about the consequence of the failure itself. This is similar
to the way that discomfort with ____48____ causes more anxiety than guaranteed bad news. To ____49____ these
bad feelings, people give up kinds of opportunities that involve the possibility of failure.
However, bringing good things into your life, whether love or career success, usually involves risk. Risk does
not, of course, _____50_____ make us happy. A risky life will very likely bring disappointment, but it can bring
greater _____51_____ than a life played safe, as the studies above suggested.
None of this is to say that we are foolish for wanting to be happy. _____52_____, the desire for happiness is
natural and normal. Making the pursuit of positive feelings your highest or only goal, however, is a costly life
strategy. Endless happiness is impossible to achieve, and doing so _____53_____ many of the elements of a good
life. As the Canadian-American psychologist Paul Bloom wrote, “It’s the _____54_____we choose that affords the
most opportunity for pleasure, meaning, and personal growth.”
Though pain should never be anyone’s goal, each of us can strive for a rich life in which we not only seek the
sunshine but fully ____55____ the rain that inevitably falls as well. This is the paradox (悖论) of being fully
alive.
41. A. unwillingly B. unpleasantly C. admirably D. incredibly

(A)
(2023届上海市奉贤区高三一模英语试题)
If I have a goal in life, it isn’t to be driving a Rolls-Royce. It’s to be giving away more than $1,000,000 a year
and having an impact on people’s lives. I have the success today because I always had to work for what I wanted. I
grew up accustomed to risks and disappointments, so I was used to moving forward, no matter what.
In 2008, I went to Los Angeles where I tried to get hired as an agent, an analyst and a financial broker.
Unfortunately, all these doors slammed in my face. The world’s economy was in a bad state, so I knew I would
have to do a little spinning of my own.
Youth involves a certain innocence but also perseverance. The word “can’t” wasn’t in my vocabulary. I
partnered with a friend buying distressed multifamily properties around Houston. Even though we were enthusiastic
and backed with start-up sums, I didn’t make a deal work. My friend moved on to other projects. Alone, I put all
my money into the next real-estate project. I put the time in, I dreamed it, but once again the deal fell through. Two
months later, though, the deal came back around. That was when the path opened, luck changed, and I was ready to
form my own company. I haven’t looked back. Only ahead.
I’m now able to give back to communities and causes. I donate about $500,000 a year, much of that going to
research to cure rare diseases. We also support a lot of services for disadvantaged children in Houston and other
places.
I have always been someone who can see the big picture and have never been distracted by things that get in
the way. There are lessons to be learned, and the biggest of those is to keep going. You may have to change thepath, but always keep that vision in front of you.
56. Which of the following about the author is true?
A. He donated a lot of money to improve his company’s image.
B. He often encountered difficulties in the process of growing up.
C. He started his own company together with a friend.
D. He changed jobs several times while in Los Angeles.
57. By saying “do a little spinning of my own” in the second paragraph, the author probably means he
would_____________.
A. look for a part-time job independently B. make his contributions to the economy
C. give in to the disappointing reality D. be self-employed to develop his career
58. Which quality of the author is not shown in the passage?
A. Perseverance. B. Optimism. C. Innocence. D. Kindness.
59. Which one is probably the best title of the passage?
A. Saying No to “Turning Back” B. Tips for a Successful Business
C. Jumping over Economic Downturns D. A Life-time Pursuit of Dream

As Christmas approached, the price of turkey went wild. It didn’t rocket, as some might suggest. Nor did it
crash. It just started waving. We live in the age of the variable prices. In the eyes of sellers, the right price—the one
that will draw the most profit from consumers’ wallets—has become the focus of huge experiments. These sorts of
price experiments have become a routine part of finding that right price.
It may come as a surprise that, in buying a pie, you might be participating in a carefully designed social-
science experiment. But this is what online comparison shopping has brought. Simply put, the convenience to know
the price of anything, anytime, anywhere, has given us, the consumers, so much power that sellers—in a desperate
effort to regain the upper hand, or at least avoid extinction—are now staring back through the screen. They are
trying to “comparison shopping” us.
They have enough means to do so: the huge data tracks you leave behind whenever you place something in
your online shopping cart with top data scientists capable of turning the information into useful price strategies, and
what one tech economist calls “the ability to experiment on a scale that’s unimaginable in the history ofeconomics.”
In result, not coincidentally, normal pricing practices—an advertised discount off the “list price,” two for the
price of one, or simply “everyday low prices” are giving way to far more crazy strategies.
“In the Internet era, I don’t think anyone could have predicted how complicated these strategies have become,”
says Robert Dolan, a professor at Harvard. The price of a can of soda in a vending machine can now vary with the
temperature outside. The price of the headphones may depend on how budget-conscious your web history shows
you to be. The price may even be affected by the price of the mobile phone you use for item search. For shoppers,
that means price—not the one offered to you right now, but the one offered to you 20 minutes from now, or the one
offered to me, or to your neighbor—may become an increasingly unknowable thing. “There used to be one price for
something,” Dolan notes. Now the true price of pumpkin-pie spice is subject to a level of uncertainty.
63. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. When holidays come, prices are usually increased.
B. The right price to sellers is the one to bring biggest profits.
C. The right price is fixed although it’s hard to find it.
D. To buy a pie, customers have to become an expert in economy.
64. Sellers stare back through the screen in order to ________.
A. reflect on the effect of the Internet
B. analyze customers’ online buying history for price strategy
C. double check the existence of the purchase
D. find out online where the lowest prices are
65. In Internet age, what element is NOT likely to affect the price of an item?
A. The instant mood of the buyer at the time of purchase.
B. The necessity level of the item at the time of purchase.
C. The extent to which the buyer is sensitive to the price.
D. The price of the facility the buyer uses to look for the item.
66. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The advantages of online shopping over traditional shopping.
B. Measures sellers take to maximize profits.
C. The analysis of pricing mechanism.
D. The battle between buyers and sellers in Internet age.

How to support a struggling friend
We’ve all been in situations like this, both big and small and everything in between: from missing the bus to
work to struggling with the loss of a loved one. Common wisdom suggests that a problem shared is a problem
halved. We really want to help, yet we don’t quite have the words or the tactics.
Research shows that many people don’t really know what works best to help their friends effectively.
____67____ A survey of the methods that people used to manage their friends’ emotions identified 378 distinct
strategies. Given this large variety of strategies, it’s no wonder that deciding what to do when you have a friend in
tears can be a little challenging.
The good news is that there are simple strategies you can learn that will help you provide more effective
support to your friends.
Ask questions and really listen
Just as playing down a friend’s problem is unwise, so is trying to empathize too quickly. While this impulse is
understandable and quite normal, it is also likely to go wrong. ____68____ So how might you best address the
situation instead? A recent research suggests that it would be better to slow down and start by asking directly how
your friend is feeling, rather than thinking about how you might feel in a similar situation.
A related technique to try is active listening, which is commonly used by therapists, and relatively simple to
implement. ____69____ For example, your friend might spend some time explaining a series of stressful events
across their week, describing arguments with their spouse, a mounting workload and some worries about debt, and
you might respond by saying that it sounds like they are overwhelmed both at home and at work right now.
Don’t take charge
If your support is too directive and take-charge, it might make your friends feel like they aren’t able to handle
things on their own, like a kid who needs their parent’s help to manage their problems.
Instead, it would have been better to ask them what they want, and how they might be able to change this
situation, and then listen to them talk through their options one by one. In doing this, you provide a sounding board
for them to take control of the situation on their own. ____70____ This will help them organise their thoughts and
come to some solutions, without feeling like you did it for them.
A. One useful skill is to paraphrase what your friend is saying in your own words.B. A friend who is going through hardship may benefit from a helpful gesture.
C. Part of the challenge is that there are just so many possible ways to intervene.
D. It’s important not to put too much pressure on your friend to talk.
E. Research has shown that we’re actually really bad at taking other people’s perspectives.
F. Your aim should be to facilitate the other person’s choices, rather than dominating them.
Ⅳ. Summary Writing
71.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no
more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
(2023届上海市松江区高三上学期一模)
Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Technology has made paying all sorts of bills incredibly easy. The real-time budget apps, which capture our
spending and pay our bills automatically, should theoretically give us more control over our money. But why, in
real life, do they do the opposite?
It helps to think about how we used to pay. My parents describe a process that would involve three separate
points of contact whenever they paid for something with a credit card: first, at the cash register, then when a bill
came in the mail and finally when they wrote a check to cover it. While each of the checkpoints is technically still
there, automation has given us a chance to skip the second and the third. For bills paid automatically through a
banking app, even the first checkpoint can be gone. We know that it is happening in the background, but it’s so far
out of view that it might as well not be there. How do we get that connection back, without giving up the
convenience that technology has brought us?
The good news is that though technology has taken away something, it can also give. Much of the battle is
simply recognizing what we’ve lost. If we want to be smart about our money and have thorough control over it, we
need to bridge that gap between what we spend on and how much we pay. We can start using personal-finance apps
to do more than make our lives easier. These apps can send us notifications when each automatic payment is being
made and categorize purchases, sending us instant spending reports. Admittedly, those tools require the user to sign
up for these services and make conscious efforts to take full advantage of them. In this way, they are arguably better
practice than balancing a checkbook on a Saturday morning.
