My son just turned 14 and does not have a smartphone. When he graduated from Grade 8,
he was the only kid in his class without one. He asks for a phone now that he’s going to high
school. I say no, he asks why, I explain, but he pushes back.
“You can choose to do things differently when you’re a parent,” I told him. But sometimes,
I wonder if I’m being too stubborn or unfair.
The more I research, the more confident I feel in my decision. Many studies link the current
mental health crisis among adolescents to fundamental changes in how they socialize, namely,
the shift from in-person to online interaction.
But other mothers challenge my view. “He must feel so left out!” Then there are the parents
who tell me sadly that they wish they had delayed their teenager’s phone ownership longer than
they did. They urge me to hold out.
If teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 are truly spending an average of 8 hours 39
minutes per day on their devices, as stated in a survey conducted by Common Sense Media, then
what are they not doing? Kids absorbed in their devices are missing out on real life, and that
strikes me as really sad.
I want my son to have a childhood he feels satisfied with and proud of. I want it to be full
of adventures, imaginative play and physical challenges which he must sort out himself without
asking me for help. The easiest and simplest way to achieve these goals is to delay giving him a
smartphone.

Some think my son is missing out or falling behind, but he is not. He does well in school
and extra-curricular activities, hangs out with his friends in person, and moves independently
around our small town. He promises he’ll give his own 14-year-old a phone someday, and I tell
him that’s fine. But recently, he admitted that he missed the beautiful scenery on a drive to a
nearby mountain because he had been so absorbed in his friend’s iPad. If that is his version of
admitting I’m right, I’ll take it.

Is there actual evidence that a coin toss — the act of spinning a coin in the air with your
thumb and catching it in your hand — tends to favor one side over the other? Or is a coin flip
50/50? A new study questions the fairness of the flip.
One side of the coin is, in fact, more likely to come up than the other, according to a team
of scientists led by University of Amsterdam PhD candidate Frantiek Barto. Their study, which
is still undergoing peer review, collected and analyzed the results of 350,757 coin flips in 46
different currencies and registered that the coins landed on the same side they started on 51% of
the time. This research was done in an effort to confirm a hypothesis(假设) proposed earlier by
Stanford University statistics professor Persi Diaconis and his team. According to that theory,
“vigorously flipped coins tend to come up the same way they started.”
According to Diaconis’s team, when people flip an ordinary coin, they introduce a small
degree of precession, meaning a change in the direction of the axis (轴) of turning throughout a
coin’s track. Consequently, the coin tends to spend more time in the air with the initial side
facing up. This makes a coin flip not quite 50/50.
In 2007, Diaconis’s team estimated the odds of a “same-side outcome” as approximately
51%. Nearly a decade and a half later, Barto and his team found this very result. They published
a preliminary report stating, “Our data lend strong support to the previous hypothesis — The
coins landed on the same side more often than not.”

{#{QQABCY4UogAgApBAABgCEwEgCAEQkBGCAIoGQEAEMAAAyAFABAA=}#}
Moreover, this was true for both sides of the coin and for all of the different coins tossed.
As Diaconis stated back in 1986, “The more you think about randomness, the less random things
become. But sometimes, you can take advantage of a lack of randomness.” Indeed, when it
comes to flipping a coin, the quickest shortcut to making your own luck might just be calling it
literally as you see it.
28. What’s the purpose of conducting the study?
A. To find evidence for the fairness of a coin toss.
B. To prove an assumption put forward years ago.
C. To state the definite chance of one side of a coin coming up.
D. To analyze the result of over 300,000 coin flips in different currencies.
29. What does the underlined word “precession” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Progressing. B. Spinning. C. Bouncing. D. Dropping.
30. Which of the following may Diaconis agree with?
A. There is no need to consider randomness too much.
B. We have to make good use of a lack of randomness.
C. Whatever coin it is, randomness turns out to be fair ultimately.
D. The harder we flip a coin, the greater chance we will gain its randomness.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? A Perfect Randomness.
B. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? A Mysterious Guess.
C. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? Think Twice!
D. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? You Bet!

Wild turkeys are a familiar sight throughout New Hampshire, where flocks wander along
roadsides and through backyards.
In 1975, Ted Walski, the biologist for New Hampshire Fish and Game, released 25 turkeys
from the back of his truck in Walpole, a town in the western part of the state. It was part of a
reintroduction effort to bring back a species that had been wiped out in New England before the
Civil War, where it used to suffer heavy blows — forests disappeared suddenly for unknown
reasons and people got their own way to hunt.
“Originally, I never thought it would get beyond a few thousand turkeys,” says Walski, who
spent nearly 50 years working with the birds before retiring in 2019.
Instead, New Hampshire’s turkey population has exploded beyond all expectations, now
around 45,000 animals — the highest since the reintroduction, and probably the most the state
can approach. Reintroduction efforts in neighboring states and around the country have created a
高三英语试卷 第 6 页 共 12 页
{#{QQABCY4UogAgApBAABgCEwEgCAEQkBGCAIoGQEAEMAAAyAFABAA=}#}
similar story — there are 70,000 wild turkeys in Maine, up to 50,000 in Vermont, and more than
30,000 in Massachusetts — all of which total up to about six million animals reproducing in all
states but Alaska.
So what made the wild turkey one of the most successful wildlife reintroduction programs
in American history? Most likely, it’s due to the bird’s surprising and unexpected ability to live
among humans. In the suburbs, turkeys can take advantage of edge habitat, like woods and open
spaces, and dine on a never-ending buffet of food provided by people — particularly birdseed.
Besides, it doesn’t hurt that native predators, such as wolves and cougars, have largely
disappeared from most parts of the turkey’s range.
But everyone is not thankful for the New England turkey boom. The infamously bold birds
are troublesome, disturbing traffic and pecking at front doors, as well as potentially dangerous.
In 2019, a 35-year-old pregnant woman was attacked by turkeys on the streets of Cambridge,
Massachusetts — twice. As conflicts between these 20-pound birds and people are on the rise,
particularly during the spring breeding season, wildlife officials are trying to cope with the
reality that the turkey is here to stay.
32. What had made turkeys extinct in New England before the Civil War?
A. Disappearing forests and unrestricted hunting.
B. Ted Walski’s reintroduction policy and its effects.
C. Turkeys’ inability to reproduce and coexist with humans.
D. Native predators’ occupation of most parts of turkeys’ range.
33. According to the text, which of the following statements is true about wild turkeys?
A. Their explosive population is completely out of the control of New Hampshire.
B. The number of wild turkeys amounts to around six million in Alaska.
C. Their abilities to reproduce fall short of people’s expectations.
D. They feed on adequate food from human beings.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It is urgent to protect wild turkeys from being attacked.
B. Turkeys are posing a potential threat to natural environment.
C. Nobody appreciates the increase in turkeys due to their evil deeds.
D. Measures will be taken to tackle conflicts between turkeys and humans.
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. New England witnesses a turkey boom but not all appreciate it.
B. The wildlife reintroduction program of wild turkeys is quite successful.
C. Wild turkeys’ sharp increase does harm to human beings and environment.
D. There is a contradictory relationship between wild turkeys and human beings.

Experience-Based Education
Everyone is familiar with traditional education. You sit in a class and a teacher teaches. This
is an important part of development. But at some point, every individual has to take charge of
their own education. To do this, one must look at the root of learning. 36 Basically,
unfamiliar experiences usually add more value than experiences that are familiar. 37 And
you are in a better state to learn something new. Honestly, someone who never experiences the
same thing twice will never have a chance to benefit from anything learned. However, new
experiences are generally what make people interested and push them to grow.
High school is a new experience. College is a new experience. 38 It is not that you
won’t learn anything else, but that the environment is so familiar. As a result, you can easily
become less aware of your experience and not learn as much.
To solve this, an individual needs to introduce new experiences into their life. You may
spend a summer in a different part of the country or learn a new language through trial and error.
You can also go to a drive-in movie (or some other entertainment events that are new to you).
39
These types of experiences often result in very little “book knowledge”. Instead, they will
often provide you with a better understanding of yourself as you experience your reaction to
different situations. They will also provide you with a better understanding of others. 40
Becoming a well-rounded human isn’t something that happens by accident. You can spend
your entire lifetime developing your potential.
A. Has education changed so much in the last decade?
B. However, at some point traditional education becomes repetitive.
C. Those new experiences may not lead to great personal development.
D. It can be valuable for you to work effectively with different people.
E. These are all things that can stretch and expand your experiences in life.
F. This is because unfamiliar experiences require much more of our attention.
G. What makes some experiences add great value to our lives while other experiences do
not?

The world’s longest sea-spanning bridge, the highway-railway bridge 56 the longest
span in the world, the first sea-spanning dual-use bridge in the world — These are just some of
the “world firsts” China has created in the sphere (领域) of bridge building. But 57 best
represents China’s modern industrial power is possibly the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.
On July 7, 2017 the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was fully opened. Seen from the air,
the 58 (wind) bridge looks like a long dragon. From Zhuhai bay, the bridge 59
(stretch) for over 30 km above the sea, together with 6.7 km of tunnels under the seabed, to end
in Hong Kong. On the way, there are three specially 60 (model) cable-stayed bridges,
61 names are “China Connection”, “Dolphin” and “Sail” 62 (respective), capable of
sustaining a total of three hundred thousand tons of wheeled cargo.
As Su Quanke put it, the bridge not just links the three geographical regions, 63 it
forms a link between our thoughts and feelings, including the creative superiority that we 64
(develop) over centuries.
When we look at this magnificent sea-spanning bridge, as a great achievement of the
century, we can see a 65 (combine) of the millennia-long history of bridge building in
China and modern technology, and the glitter of the Chinese people’s diligence and wisdom.
