some mostbreathtakingly beautiful ones that youll be tempted（诱 惑）to run holding a camera.Ultra-trail Angkor,CambodiaThe newest of a series of Angkor marathons,this endurance test offers 32-km,64-km and 128-km routesaround the famous temples,including Bay on and Angkor Wat.Watch out for monkeys,and the gigantic tree vinesthat memorably hug some of the great buildings.Dodo Trail,MauritiusCrossing rugged coastline and tropical forests,the Dodo Trail is full of wildlife,although the famous dodobird remains,sadly,extinct.While the demanding 50km Xtreme route covers 828m-high Black River Peak,abeginner-friendly Mini Dodo Trail（10 km）is easier.Great Ocean Road marathon,AustraliaAnother well-known scenic coastal drive,southern Australias Great Ocean Road stages a footrace everyMay.Neck-ache could be a problem:in one direction lies the scenic South Sea,and in another handsome forestand,if you9re lucky,a koala or two.Be warned,however,that the series of steep slopes make this one of thetoughest marathons.Big Five marathon,South AfricaMarathon meets safari at the privately owned Entabeni Game Reserve every June.The start time is dependenton the race-day location of the Big Five members-African elephants,Cape buffalo,lions,leopards and rhinos-as organizers try to guarantee sightings.1.Which marathon is suitable for less experienced runners?A.Ultra-trail Angkor.B.Dodo Trail.C.Great Ocean Road marathon.D.Big Five marathon.2.Why does the writer mention“neck-ache“in Great Ocean Road marathon?A.To highlight the wonderful scenery.B.To present the difficulty ofthe event.C To attract attention to physical health.D.To warn runners ofdangerous animals.3.What do the four marathons have in common?A.Risky and tiring routes.B.Beautiful coastal views.C.Chances to see wild animals.D.Fixed time for annual events.BLike many constructions,it started small.But now thousands of children with autism（自 闭 症）are makingfriends and learning social skills by playing a special version of online building game Minecraft.Stuart Duncan got the idea through a popular blog he ran about his own experiences with autism as well asbringing up a son with autism.Other parents with autistic children started telling him that their kids were crazyabout a game that let them explore a randomly generated wilderness.However,despite loving the game,many ofthe children were being bullied（霸 凌）by other players.So,in 2013,Duncan,a web developer in Canada,set up a server to run a version of Minecraft only for childrenwith autism and their families.He thought the invite-only server would attract 10 or 20 people,but hundredsrequested to join in the first few days.Now,almost three years later,running the special version,Autcraft,is hisfull-time job.The community has nearly 7000 members,along with a team of engineers to help manage its manyactivities.Parents see such a benefit fbr themselves and their children,says Duncan.In Minecraft,you use blocks of materials like wood and stone to build whatever you like.This is a great wayfbr them to play a game they love,but also have a social experience,says Kate Ringland from the University ofCalifornia,who has spent 60 hours inside this virtual world,watching how the kids play and chat to one another.“Its giving an alternative way for these kids to express themselves and communicate without the stresses of thephysical life stuff.”Everyday social situations can be challenging fbr autistic children,who may struggle to pick up on socialsignals or understand another persons viewpoint.Duncan thinks Minecraft removes the pressures typical of thereal world.There is no noisy or unfamiliar environment to distract（使 分 心）you,no pressure to track the otherpersons facial expressions or worry about eye contact.Joining a community like Autcraft could be a good first stepto feeling less socially anxious and more engaged.4.What inspired Duncan to run Autcraft?A.Online Bullying.B His sons request.C.Some parents5 advice.D.His blog about autism.5.What can we learn about Autcraft from Paragraph 3?A.It has about 7,000 engineers.B.It was an unexpected success.C.It helped parents play with their kids.D.It remains accessible to all the people.6.How does Minecraft help children according to Duncan?A.By teaching communication skills.B.By solving their real world problems.C.By explaining other peoples viewpoints.D.By offering stress-free social experiences.7.What is the best title for the text?A.How Can We Deal With Autism?B.What Makes Minecraft So Famous?C.Why Do Online Games Benefit Children?D.How Does Autcraft Help Autistic Children?CIt is something one half of the population has long suspected and the other half always vocally denied-womenreally do talk more than men.In fact,women talk almost three times as much as men,with the average womanchalking up 20,000 words in a day-13,000 more than the average man.Women also speak more quickly,devote more brainpower to chit-chat,and actually enjoy hearing their ownvoices,a new book suggests.The book-written by a female psychiatrist,Dr.Luan Brizendine-says that inherent（生 来 就 有 的）differences between the male and female brain explain why women are naturally more talkative thanmen.In The Female MEd,Brizendine says the differences can be traced back to the womb（子 宫）,where the sexhormone（激 素）called testosterone moulds the developing male brain.The areas responsible for communication,emotion and memory are all reduced before a baby boy is bom.The result is that boys-and men-chat less than their female peers and struggle to express their emotions tothe same extent.uWomen have an eight-lane superhighway for processing emotion,while men have a small countryroad,said Brizendine.There are,however,advantages of being the strong,silent type.Brizendine explains in her book thattestosterone also reduces the size of the section of the brain involved in hearing-allowing men to become d eaf tothe most logical arguments put forward by their wives and girlfriends.Other scientists,however,say many of the differences between the male and female personality can beexplained by social conditioning,with a childs upbringing greatly influencing their character.Deborah Cameron,an Oxford University linguistics professor with a special interest in language and gender,said the amount we talk is influenced by who we are with and what we are doing.44If you look through a largenumber of studies you will find there is little difference between the amount men and women talk,“she added.8 Which claim does the book The Female Mind probably support?A.Women enjoy arguing.B.Women are born talkative.C.Women are great public speakers.D.Women take pride in their talents.9.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word“moulds“in Paragraph 3?A Influences.B.Stimulates.C.Enlarges.D.Harms.10.How are men affected by testosterone according to Dr.Brizendine?A.They have a small size of brain.B.They are not so logical in talking.C.They are usually less communicative.D.They are unwilling to listen to females.11.What message does Cameron carry in the last paragraph?A.Further studies need to be carried out.B.Gender seldom affects ones talking style.C.The amount we talk shapes our character.D.Men talk as much as women on the whole.DThe time a person spends on different smartphone apps is enough to identify them from a larger group in morethan one in three cases,say researchers.Researchers analyzed smartphone data from 780 people.They fed 4,680 days of app usage data into statisticalmodels.Each of these days was paired with one of the 780 users so that the models learned peoples daily app usepatterns.The researchers then tested whether models could identify an individual when provided with only a single dayof smartphone activity that was anonymous（匿 名 的）.The models,which were trained on only six days of appusage data per person,could identify the correct person from a day of anonymous data one third of the time.That might not sound like much,but when the models predict who the data belonged to,it could also provide alist of the most to the least likely candidates.It was possible to view the top 10 most likely individuals that a specificday of data belonged to.Around 75%of the time,the correct user would be among the top 10 most likelycandidates.In practical terms,a law enforcement（执 法 机 构）investigation seeking to identify a criminals new phone withthese models could reduce a candidate pool of approximately 1,000 phones to lOphones,with a 25%risk of missingthem.Consequently,the researchers warn that software given access to a smartphones standard activity loggingcould make a reasonable prediction about a users identity even when they were logged-out of their account.Anidentification is possible without monitoring conversations or behaviors within apps themselves.Therefore,it is important to acknowledge that app usage data alone,which is often collected by a smartphoneautomatically,can potentially reveal a persons identity.While providing new opportunities for law enforcement,italso poses risks to privacy if this type of data is misused.12.What is the puipose of the passage?A.To explain a phenomenon.B.To confirm an assumption.C.To show a research process.D.To present a research finding.13.How did the researchers reach their conclusion?A.By recording app use time.B.By studying app usage data.C.By comparing different apps.D.By changing app use patterns.14.What is the function of the statistical models?A.Locating criminals.B.Tracking usage of apps.C.Identifying phone users.D.Predicting trends of apps.15.What is the authors attitude towards app usage data?A.Cautious.B.Favorable.C.Doubtful.D.Uninterested.2022届 广 东 省 茂 名 市 高 三 级 第 二 次 综 合

process?Thus,we haveconsulted some experts on where to start.Heres what they say.Identify your training goalsThere are two levels of dog training.If youre interested in skill training,or basic manners,such as teachingyour dog to sit,stay and lie down,thats the field of a dog trainer.If your dog has a behavior problem-anxiety,aggressiveness,fearfulness-then what you need is a dog behavioral consultant.Be realisticYour dog may bark at your guests,which might be a kind of dog that has been selected for hundreds ofyears to defend against people walking in your front door.Since you cant change a Ger-man shepherd s geneticimpulse（基 因 7中 动）to defend its territory,you may need to change your expectations,instead.Decide how you*d like to train your dogWhen it comes to training methods,you have a few options.Group classes are cheaper but less personalized,while board and training facilities are more expensive and riskier.Your choice will depend on your budget andyour training goals.If you dont want to pay a lot of money for dog training,you can choose free or low-costresources you can find online.Understand the methodsGenerally speaking,many trainers fall into two broad categories:The first is positive reinforcement（强 化）trainers,which means giving your dog something good to train.The second is balanced trainers who are willing tomake incorporate corrections,which means using positive reinforcement methods.Click here to get more information to train your dogs.21.Who should you ask if your dogs are aggressive?A.A dog behavioral trainer.B.A dog behavioral consultant.C.A reinforcement trainer.D.A balanced trainer.22.Whats the benefit if your dog attends the group classes?A.It can socialize better.B.It can learn more skills.C.You can save money.D.You can build stronger bonds with it.23.Where does the text most likely appear?A.On a website.B.In a story book.C.In a pet brochure.D.In a biological study.BMany have had the same thought as Shannon St.Onge when looking at the approach of snow on a weatherfbrecast-that they have time to finish their jobs.As the director of finance at the First Nations University ofCanada,she had to drive 25 kilometers from her home to the city of Regina to attend an important meeting.As she was leaving,the winter snow began to fall.Taking a dirt road for better traction（牵 弓|）on her tires,she quickly became lost,with no ability to see the edge of the road from a rolled-down window.After a while shestopped and called 911.“The operator took my information and told me to wait out the storm as my tank was full and I was warm.Iwaited almost 14 hours and nobody has called me yet to check in,“she wrote in a Face-book post.“Would the gas tank last until morning?What if I was hit by another vehicle?What if I didn*t make it homeat all?St.Onge wondered.Determined to ensure the safest end,she went out in the storm and discovered her location on a road sign,and then found a neighborhood Facebook group fbr the area she was passing through-warning others of her plightthrough a Google Maps pin.That was when 80-year-old Andre Bouvier Sr.,a retired rescuer,got a call about St.Onge*s situation.Hewent out to find her,on foot,since he couldnt manage to start his tractor.On the way he found three other stranded（被 困）vehicles.He walked the quarter mile there and back,andled the helpless cars one by one to his home.Bouvier let the survivors sleep at his house,where they ate andlaughed,and departed the next morning after he had cleaned the driveway.24.Why did St.Onge take a dirt road?A.She was familiar with it.B.She could refuel on the road.C.She took the dirt road to save time.D.She thought dirt road could increase traction.25.What did the operator advise St.Onge to do?A.Wait out the storm.B.Find a warm place.C.Ask Bouvier for help.D.Write her condition in a Facebook post.26.What does the underlined word plight”in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Wrong turn.B.Poor sense of direction.C.Difficult situation.D.Bad weather.27.Which of the following can best describe Bouvier?A.Patient and gifted.B.Brave and selfless.C.Proud and determined.D.Adventurous and ambitious.CIf having to make a choice between reading an e-book and a printed book,which would most peoplechoose?Some would go for an e-book while some still prefer the hard-printed book.Undoubtedly,e-books do have benefits.Firstly,changes to an electronic publication are relatively easyto make.They are quicker to obtain.E-books are more easily updated.The printed books on many subjects canbecome outdated very quickly.Secondly,e-books can be easily and quickly kept up to date.You usually get farmore than just the e-books.Most e-books are sold with bonuses and related information that usually do not comewith the purchase of a printed book.Moreover,they take
