1、2022届浙江省嘉兴市高三4月教学测试（二模）英语试题学校:_姓名：_班级：_考号：_一、阅读理解Tiny homes have been popular as home prices have climbed to new heights and people have looked for creative ways to downsize. Weve seen many design concepts, including storage units and buses, but Jim Dotzenrod and his daughter Danielle recently came
2、up with a unique one. The pair worked together on the family project to transform a 1973 train caboose into the sleeper car.The CR Station Train Caboose, as its known on Airbnb, which has become somewhat of its own tourist destination in the small town that houses it, is available to rent for $124 a
3、 night, and has an excellent rating of 4.86 out of 5 from more than 300 guests on the booking website.According to Insider, the project began when Jim saw a bunch of train cabooses along the side of the road during a drive out of town. He said he wondered if he could change one of them into a place
4、where people could live or stay. So, he bought the 52,000-pound caboose for $8,000. Getting the caboose to its final home took some creative thinking and some heavy-duty equipment.Danielle said the work was challenging, especially since she and her dad both have day jobs. But their schedules didnt s
5、top them from finishing the project. “My dad can do anything he sets his mind to like, absolutely anything but my dad is so low maintenance himself,” Danielle told the website. “So when we built this together it was a good combination because he could build whatever and have me pushing him like, Hey
6、, lets make this as cool as we can.”This caboose also has Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, a refrigerator, a shower and more. So, if youre ever traveling in Iowa and want to experience something special, book a stay at the CR Station Train Caboose!1What can we know about the CR Station Train Caboose?AIt can
7、 only be booked online.BIt has become a local attraction.CIt offers a new concept in home decoration.DIt was transported to the town with little effort.2The words “low maintenance” in paragraph 4 indicate Jim Dotzenrod is _.Aeasy and pleasant to deal withBdetermined to do what he wantsCexcellent at
8、building housesDexperienced in project design3What is the purpose of the last paragraph?ATo introduce a lifestyle.BTo share an experience.CTo show a travel trend.DTo make an advertisement.Every morning at five oclock, composer (作曲家) Walter Werzowa would sit down at his computer waiting for a particu
9、lar daily e-mail. It came from a team that had been working all night to draft Beethovens unfinished 10th Symphony. The e-mail contained hundreds of versions, and Werzowa listened to them all, looking for the perfect tunea sound that was unmistakably Beethoven. But the phrases he was listening to we
10、rent composed by Beethoven. They were created by artificial intelligence.When Ludwig van Beethoven died in 1827, he left behind some musical drafts and notes. There was barely enough to make out a phrase, let alone a whole symphony. But that didnt stop people from trying.Werzowa and a group of music
11、 experts and computer scientists teamed up to use machine learning to create the symphony. Ahmed Elgammal led the AI side of the team. The teams first task was to teach the AI to think like Beethoven. To do that, they gave it Beethovens complete works, his drafts and notes. They taught it Beethovens
12、 processlike how he went from four notes to his entire Fifth Symphony. Then they taught it to compose a bridge between two sections. With all that knowledge, the AI came as close to thinking like Beethoven as possible. But it still wasnt enough. The AI doesnt really produce something that can contin
13、ue for a long time and be consistent. So the team had to put the selected pieces together to build a symphony.Matthew Guzdial researches creativity (创造力) and machine learning at the University of Alberta. He didnt work on the Beethoven project, but he says, “Modern AI, modern machine learning, is al
14、l about just copying small local patterns. And its up to a human to then take what the AI outputs and find the genius (天资). The genius wasnt in the AI. The genius was in the human who was doing the selection.”4How did Walter Werzowa contribute to the Beethoven project?AHe trained the AI to think lik
15、e a human.BHe replied to daily e-mails every morning.CHe selected the best tune created by the AI.DHe drafted Beethovens unfinished symphony.5What was the major challenge the team met?AThe AI was far from thinking like Beethoven.BIt was hard to put pieces together to build a symphony.CThe AI couldnt
16、 create a long and consistent piece of music.DThere were not enough complete works for machine learning.6Which of the following would Matthew Guzdial most probably agree with?AAl is likely to be a barrier to creativity.BThe potential of AI is being brought out.CThe value of AI shouldnt be overlooked
17、.DAI cant totally replace the role of humans.Many of us have experienced the following: the day before an exam, we try to squeeze a huge amount of information into our brain. But just as quickly as we acquire it, the knowledge we have gained is gone again. The good news is that we can solve this pro
18、blem. With expanded time intervals between a persons learning events, we keep the knowledge for a longer time.But what happens in the brain during the spacing effect? It is generally thought that during learning, neurons (神经元) are activated and form new connections. In this way, the learned knowledg
19、e is stored and can be regained by reactivating the same set of neurons. However, we still know very little about how pauses positively influence this process.Neurobiologists Annet and Pieter did an experiment, during which mice had to remember the position of a hidden chocolate piece in a maze (迷宫)
20、. On three continuous chances, they were allowed to explore the maze and find their rewardincluding pauses of different lengths. “Mice trained with the longer intervals between learning phases (阶段) were unable to remember the position of the chocolate as quickly,” explains Annet. “But the next day,
21、the longer the pauses, the better was the mices memory.”“If three learning phases follow each other very quickly, we naturally expect the same neurons to be activated,” Pieter says. “After all, it is the same experiment with the same information. But after a long break, we imagine the brain interpre
22、ts the following learning phase as a new event and processes it with different neurons.”However, the researchers found the opposite. In fast continuous learning phases, the mice activated mostly different neurons. When taking longer breaks, the same neurons active earlier were used again later. Reac
23、tivating the same neurons could allow the brain to strengthen the connections between these cells. With spaced learning, we may reach our goal more slowly, but we benefit from our knowledge for much longer.7How does the author mention the problem in paragraph 1?ABy introducing a theory.BBy telling a
24、 story.CBy making an assumption.DBy presenting a case.8Why did Annet and Pieter do the experiment?ATo examine the influence of rewards on memory.BTo explore how brain works during the spacing effect.CTo confirm neurons functions in the learning process.DTo determine the best intervals between learni
25、ng phases.9What is the last paragraph mainly about?AThe surprising result of the study.BThe serious limitation of the study.CThe future goal of the researchers.DThe major worry of the researchers.10Which of the following is the best title for the text?ALearn Better by Distributing TasksBRemember Mor
26、e by Taking BreaksCClearing Minds Aids People in MemoryDSpacing Effect Patterns Work Differently二、七选五Why Are Plane Seats Always Blue?Planes are an engineering masterpiece. Since they were invented, they have made the world a better place. Like never before, we can travel to almost every corner of th
27、e world within hours._11_ The only time they land is when they need to get passengers on board or go through regular checks. This means the crew doesnt have much time to clean up the plane. _12_ Airlines are likely to go with dark blue fabric (布料)its much more of a bother to clear up a red wine spil
28、l on white fabric than on blue.Blue is also a color that can make passengers less anxious. If you are an 18-year-old teenager, you are probably not afraid of flying. But the aviation (航空) industry isnt that old. _13_ In fact, even today in the 21st century, 5% of the worlds population has ever flown
29、 on an airplane, which is extremely low. But that also means, most people are afraid of flying. Some statistics show that around 80 percent of people are scared to fly. _14_ Compared to other means of transport such as cars, its a much safer option.Anyway, people are afraid of heights. Thats why pla
30、nes are purposefully designed in such a way to make you feel safe. For example, the color red is associated with objects to remind people of danger or to warn people that they need to stop. Green is used to make people aware of the presence of an emergency exit. _15_AThe airline business is expensiv
31、e.BUnlike cars, planes are made to fly all the time.CMany airlines redesign or change their seats often.DOf course, it doesnt make sense to be afraid of boarding a plane.EAs recent as the 2000s, not many people had the opportunity to fly.FThats why the seats must be designed in a way to look clean a

When their clothes are _32_, smell wonderful, and look great, our loved ones feel as if they can _33_ the world, and their days become brighter.Thats _34_ for you and your clothes as well.

Now I was searching the neighborhood trying to find him. My seven-year-old son, Jordan, was following behind.I was worried about Jordan. He had lost so
45、much already. The last few months had been difficult. After getting divorced, I could no longer afford our house in Indianapolis. Jordan and I moved in with my parents in northern Indiana. Jordan missed his friends and his old school. Losing his childhood dog was the last thing he needed.We called out Tilkis name until it was completely dark. We were forced to return home, empty-handed.“Mom, its all new here. What if Tiki cant find Grandmas house?” asked Jordan. “Its okay,” I said. “Hes wearing his collar and dog tag (标牌).” It was at that mo
