Technology has undoubtedly opened up the world for me. Literally, in the case of my fully
accessible home. My windows are automatic, and my front door is automatic too. There are also my
wheelchairs. I guess that any wheelchair user will say the best invention is that of the wheel. It’s a tool
bringing independence and comfort.
Last week, I took a well-deserved break from work and went on a staycation in my local area. On
高三英语 第 4 页 共 12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司the first day, I was heading further out in my power wheelchair than I’ve ever been on my own. This
chair is almost like a Transformer. I like the speed, the phone charger and the flexible feature. It’s a
wonderful creation.
However, while there are many benefits that come with technology, I still live in a disabling world.
For example, out in my power wheelchair that day, feeling free and easy, I headed straight to the shop
not far away. I deserve to feel heard and included when innovation is concerned. But when I got there, I
was confronted by self-service checkouts. While they are designed for easy and quick service, for me
and many other disabled people, the lack of face-to-face services can put us at a disadvantage. Not
only are the checkouts far too high, they are awkwardly designed so that you cannot approach them with
a wheelchair. So, I waited for someone to assist me. In just a matter of a few hours, I had seen how
technology and accessibility advancements have empowered me then, in the next breath, disabled me.
I still live in a disabling world with sub-standard accessibility. Therefore, disabled people by and
large are more likely to rely on mechanical and technological devices such as lifts and communication
aids. Unfortunately, these things are sometimes abused and mistreated, making the person relying on
them dependent on others.
24. How does the author think of technology according to paragraphs 1 and 2?
A. He casts some doubts on it.
B. He shows much gratitude for it.
C. He expresses curiosity about it.
D. He feels really carefree with it.
25. What happened to the author in the shop?
A. He came across many other disabled people by chance.
B. He waited quite a few hours in order to check out.
C. He was unable to seek assistance from others.
D. He couldn’t use the self-service checkout by himself.
26. Why does the author say he still lives in a disabling world?
A. He thinks it is not easy to make his voice heard.
B. Some shops are inaccessible to wheelchair users.
C. He finds it really hard to fit in with non-disabled people.
D. Things related to technology are sometimes out of service.
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. My different views concerning disability

C. My love-hate relationship with technology
D. How I live independently as a disabled man

Get cold hands, but hate wearing gloves? There might soon be a technology that can help you. The
US scientists are developing an arm heater that allows people to go glove free in freezing conditions,
helping them to carry out mechanical repairs or first aid.
In cold weather, wearing gloves might be a good choice because they can keep your hands at a
comfortable temperature, but they often reduce flexibility. Take off your gloves, though, and numbing
cold has an equally damaging effect on your fine motor skills, as well as being extremely
uncomfortable.
John Castellani, an American physiologist who specializes in cold weather, and his team are
attempting to solve the problem with a pair of electrically heated armbands worn around the forearms.
Dr. Castellani says that much of the problem is due to the body shutting down blood flow to
surrounding areas. “Through research, we find keeping the forearms warm can prevent this,” he says.
A previous study showed that heating the torso （躯干） also keeps the hands warm, but that
approach requires too much power for a portable device. Castellani’s team has found that warming just
the forearm with a battery-powered gadget improves both finger temperature and ability in tasks
requiring manual skill, such as putting pegs in a peg board. In a series of tests, the device reduced
flexibility loss by 50 percent and finger strength loss by 90 percent compared with wearing no gloves
at 0.5℃. The electric forearm heater helps by a combination of delivering warmer blood to the fingers
and reducing blood vessel constriction （血管收缩）. Even if the wearer can't go glove free, it could
allow them to wear thinner gloves.
28. Why is the electric forearm heater being developed?
A. To deliver warmer blood to the fingers in cold weather.
B. To reduce blood vessel constriction in cold weather.
C. To have the wearer go without gloves in cold weather.
D. To keep hands warm and skillful in cold weather.
29. What do we know about electrically heated armbands according to the passage?
A. They are difficult to carry around.
B. They have been on sale in the market.
高三英语 第 6 页 共 12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. They use less power comparatively.
D. They can heat the body together.
30. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The wearer. B. The arm heater
C. The blood vessel D. The warmer blood
31. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To inform. B. To entertain.
C. To advertise. D. To educate.

What’s your favorite kind of film? For many people who love being terrified, or scared out of their
wits, that answer will be horror. It seems that scary movies have a way of drawing a lot of people in and
suit their taste. But just why do people enjoy watching these terrifying films?
First of all, being scared can give us a rush of adrenaline （肾上腺素）. The heart starts pumping,
making these films exhilarating. But the fact that you're actually at home safe on the sofa makes the
experience of being frightened all the more enjoyable because what’s happening to the characters on the
screen is far removed from your experience of being in your living room eating popcorn. It feels more
thrilling.
Coltan Scrivner, a PhD candidate in the Department of Comparative Human Development at the
University of Chicago, argues that people who watch horror films learn how to regulate their anxiety. A
study that he coauthored found that horror fans exhibited greater resilience （韧性） during the early
stages on the COVID-19 pandemic than those who didn’t.
Also, some horror fans think they could survive the events on screen. That gives those viewers a
sense of superiority. We often tease the typical image of horror films. Why do they try to escape the
masked killer by running upstairs and hiding themselves? The characters often make terrible decisions
that lead to their deaths — decisions we as viewers believe we wouldn’t make.
So, whether it’s to help people regulate their anxiety, to be thrilled by getting scared, or to feel
superior teasing the decisions of the characters, there are many reasons people love watching horror
films and if they really scare you, maybe it’s best to watch them with the lights on.
32. The question at the end of Paragraph 1 is used to___________.
A. express the author’s doubt B. introduce the point for discussion
高三英语 第 7 页 共 12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. enrich the content of the passage D. expect an answer from readers
33. What does the underlined word “exhilarating” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Upsetting. B. Inspiring.
C. Amusing. D. Thrilling.
34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Horror fans are more anxious facing unfavourable situation.
B. Heart attacks are more likely to happen to horror fans.
C. Viewers are superior to characters in horror films.
D. The scenes in horror films are very different from reality.
35. What’s the author attitude towards watching horror films?
A. Cautious B. Critical
C. Objective D. Indifferent

Hearing is one of our most important senses. However, many people don’t realize that they may be
exposing their ears to a huge amount of potentially damaging noise on a daily basis. It’s important to
protect your hearing from noise and other damaging factors.
36 Listening to loud music through earphones has been identified as one of the major causes
of hearing damage in young people. You also need to be careful when listening to loud music in enclosed
spaces, such as in a car. Turning the volume down can make a difference to your hearing.
Don’t try to clean out your ears. Many people attempt to clean out their ears using cotton buds.
37 In more severe cases, cotton buds may damage the thin skin and even negatively affect your hearing.
You can place a couple of drops of earwax solution into your ears. The solution will soften the earwax,
causing it to flow out naturally.
Avoid head injuries. Damage to the middle and inner ear due to head injury can result in hearing
loss. 38 Always wear a helmet when riding a bike or playing any kind of contact sports, and always wear
a seat belt when travelling by car.
Be careful at live concerts and shows. Attending concerts or shows where you’re exposed to loud,
live music can be damaging to your hearing. To protect your ears while listening to live music,
strategically position yourself away from any amplifiers, speakers or stage monitors.

flow to your ears, which is good for your hearing. 40 This also gives your ears a break from the hustle
and bustle （喧嚣） of daily life.

B. See a specialist if you suffer from hearing problems.
C. The further away you are from the source of the sound, the better.
D. However, cotton buds may pack earwax deeper into the ear.
E. Therefore, it is important to protect yourself from head injury in any way possible.

China’s traditional tea-making techniques and their associated social practices successfully became
UNESCO’s latest world intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) on November 29, 2022.
Up to now, in addition to the common six categories of tea, other varieties like flower-scented teas

the tea-making process 58 (compose) of numerous challenges has become rather complicated today.

the Chinese National Academy of Arts, believes it is mainly due to the long and great history of
Chinese tea culture, 60 travelled along the ancient Tea Horse Road to reach as far as West Asia and
East Africa.
The successful application can further help improve tea’s influence 61 (globe). It will not only
promote more respect for cultural 62 (diverse) and human creativity but also will encourage people to

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
With sunlight flooding through the window, I was sitting at the kitchen table, enjoying the breakfast
with my son, our cat, Rosie, rubbing itself against my son’s legs from time to time. After assigning my
son what he would do in the morning, I also engaged myself in my work. However, within only minutes
I could hear my son jumping around and laughing, doing who-knows-what but certainly not his
schoolwork. “Stop playing and get your schoolwork done!” I yelled from my room where I was working.
There was complete quiet for a while, and then the noise started up again.
“What are you doing? I shouted.” You know you can’t have a break until the schoolwork is done!”
As a single mom working from home and home-schooling my son, I had to finish my work each day and
help my son gain knowledge and form a good learning habit.
“Rosie stole my pencil, Mommy! I can’t do my schoolwork!” The response came in a voice
that sounded as though he surely didn’t mind having a pencil stolen. With a sigh, I pulled myself away
from work and entered my son’s room. There I saw our cat, Rosie, sitting on the desk with the pencil

and removed her from it.
This had become the norm. Rosie often disturbed my son. They were good friends and my son
never minded Rosie disturbing him. Each time Rosie caused trouble, I wanted to lock her inside the
bathroom. But when seeing how my lonely son, who was shy, homeschooled and had few friends,
enjoyed Rosie’s company, I abandoned the idea.
That day, I finally made a rule after trying to remove Rosie from the desk for the millionth time.
“If you focus on your work and don’t let her distract you, she can stay on the desk. Otherwise, I’ll lock
her in the bathroom,” I told my son. Then I moved Rosie off his books and onto the side of the desk,
making her lie down. 注意:
