And during the actual presentation, you need to come across as relaxed, calm and confident. And your body language needs to show this. Here are a few tips on what to do with your body during a presentation.PositionMake sure you are always facing the audience. And try to avoid turning your back, or looking down too much if you are referring to any notes.HandsAvoid fiddling with anything such as your hair, earrings or pens. And try to keep your arms by your side. It may feel uncomfortable, but you’ll look relaxed and confident. Also, avoid crossing your arms, biting your nails or putting your hands behind your back or in your pockets.GestureUse gestures to help the audience understand what you are saying. You can use your hands to emphasize points in your speech.PostureKeep your feet apart and stand upright and confidently. Keep your shoulders back and your head up. Remember, look confident!AppearanceSmile, speak clearly and make sure you are dressed appropriately for the occasion: either a formal suit for a business scenario, or something more casual for a more relaxed environment.Eye contactMaintain eye contact with the audience at all times. And try to connect with various sections of the hall or the room. Choose someone to look at in one area and stay with them for a sentence or two. Then, move to another section and choose someone else. Do this frequently and move between all areas of the hall or the room: front left, front right, back left, back right, the middle, etc.()21. During an actual presentation, what should you do with your body? A. Looking down at the notes frequently.B. Standing upright with your arms crossed.C. Putting the hands behind your back.D. Getting dressed based on the occasion.()22. How can you make effective eye contact with the audience?A. By not taking your eyes off a chosen person.B. By focusing on a chosen person for a short time.C. By staring into someone’s eyes at all times.D. By keeping moving around in the hall.()23. Where is the passage probably taken from?A. A work of literature.B. A textbook.C. A poster.D. A research report.BLaunching a dust cloud from the moon to reduce the amount of sunlight reaching Earth could help cool the planet—although such a strategy would require a lot of research and the risks to agriculture, ecosystems and water quality are unclear.Previous research looked into the idea of placing more than 100 million tons of dust between Earth and the sun to partially block light from reaching our planet as a way to combat climate change. The particles would absorb light energy or scatter light away from Earth. To achieve this, the dust would need to sit 1.5 million kilometres from Earth at the first Lagrange point, or L1, where the gravitational pull of the sun and our planet cancel out.Now, after running thousands of computer simulations, Benjamin Bromley at the University of Utah and his colleagues have found that continuously launching a stream of lunar dust from the moon’s north pole towards L1 at 2.8 kilometres per second may be a better approach. Considering factors like the gravitational pull of the sun and the planets and the effect of the solar wind, the simulations found that maintaining a dust shield with a mass of 1 million tons near L1 for a year could dim sunlight across Earth by 1.8 percent.“If this method works, it would certainly be effective at reducing global temperature, but it’s hard to say whether it would be worth it relative to the effort and resources used,” says Kravitz.However, shading Earth will have unequal effects in different regions, says Kravitz.“Temperature, winds and many other things will change as a result of this strategy,” he says. “Those changes will translate into effects on agriculture, ecosystems and water quality.” Large-scale engineering studies would be needed to assess this, says Curtis Struck at Iowa State University, and other possible effects would also need to be examined. “Would there be enhanced micrometeorite(微陨星) falls to Earth and damage to Earth-orbiting satellites?” says Struck.Regardless, such an approach shouldn’t replace our efforts to decrease carbon emissions, says Bromley. “We have to keep reducing the greenhouse gases within our own atmosphere, no matter what.”()24. Why should the dust cloud be at the first Lagrange point?A. Current technology can only send it that far.B. It can block sunlight from reaching our planet.C. It is unaffected by the gravitational pull there.D. Its particles can take in more light energy.()25. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The difficulties Bromley encountered.B. The findings of the simulations.C. The significance of the solution.D. A promising method from Bromley.()26. Whats Kravitz’s attitude toward the dust cloud solution?A. Favourable.B. Objective.C. Indifferent.C. Negative.()27. What does the last paragraph imply?A. The dust shield solution can’t cope with climate change once and for all.B. Decreasing carbon emissions is what we have accomplished in the past.C. The dust cloud has the great potential to fight against greenhouse gases.D. We can delay our efforts to reduce carbon emissions for the present.CHair that is tightly coiled(盘绕) offers the best protection against the sun’s potentially damaging rays, which could explain why this trait evolved in early humans in Africa and straighter hair emerged as some humans moved into cooler areas.It has long been suggested that the reason our body hair became so fine that it is sometimes barely visible, while our scalp hair remained thick, is to prevent our heads from overheating in the sun. In our bipedal(双足行走的) ancestors, the beneficial shading effect of head hair may have outweighed its insulating effect.Tina Lasisi at Penn State University wondered if the type of hair on a person’s head also makes a difference. To learn more, Lasisi and her colleagues put three different wigs(假发) on a thermal manikin—a model of the human body with heaters and sensors that is used to measure the thermal effects of clothes. One of the three wigs was straight, one had moderate curls(卷) and one had tight curls. Lasisi says the tightly coiled wig was within the range of curl found in people of recent African ancestry.The team found that the hair’s type made a big difference to how much heat the head of the manikin gained from simulated sunshine at 30. The head with a straight wig gained less than half as much heat as a control head with no wig. The head wearing the moderately curled wig gained around a quarter as much heat and the head with the tightly curled wig gained less than a tenth as much as the no-wig control.The researchers think that the curls reduce how much heat reaches the skin by increasing the gap between it and the hair surface. Making straight hair longer doesn’t achieve this because it lies flat, says Lasisi.The team also found when wetting the manikins to simulate sweat, the head with no wig lost twice as much heat via evaporation as those with the wigs. However, having any head hair more than halves the amount of sweat required to prevent the head from gaining heat, with tightly coiled hair reducing this more than moderately curled or straight hair, the result shows.“Any mechanism that could help cool the body, and at the same time save precious water, would definitely have been acted on strongly by natural selection,” says Joseph Graves at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University. The studys findings are important because they could help change some people’s prejudiced views, says Graves.()28. What does the underlined word “trait” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Curl.B. Feature.C. Situation.D. Essence.()29. What will Tina Lasisi probably agree with?A. The three wigs were made of hair from different races.B. The head with no wig gained the least amount of heat from the sun.C. Wearing long straight hair could reduce the heat reaching the skin.D. The head without a wig had the best cooling effect of sweating.()30. For what purpose was the research carried out?A. To gain insight into early humans.B. To prove all races are born equal.C. To clarify a question.D. To learn about the use of wigs.()31. What might be the best title of the passage?A. Curly Hair Protects Us from the Sun B. Curly Hair Evolves into Straight HairC. Natural Selection Is What Really CountsD. A Study Changes Prejudiced ViewsDIn an interview with Xinhua, Wang Yanan sounded no different than any other energetic freshman in college. But what’s on the surface doesn’t always tell the whole story. In a calm tone, she spoke about her experience with depression. She had the strange idea that she had nothing to do with the rest of the world. She said, “It’s not because of my grades. I just felt my life was meaningless.”Wang’s struggle with mental health is not rare among people her age. A report by the Chinese Youth & Children Research Centre showed that about 30 million people under the age of 17 in China are dealing with emotional or behavioural disorders. But why are teenagers more prone to these mental upheavals(剧变)?According to Zhu Yongxin, deputy secretary-general of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, academic pressure is one of the main factors.After entering senior high, Wang felt very tired. She often went to bed at 3 or 4 a.m., only to rise at 5. Lack of sleep and the inability to concentrate left Wang feeling overwhelmed.Too many examinations, struggling with competitive rankings and pressure from parents are other factors that lead to students’ psychological problems, Zhu said.“My parents always tell me my classmates are competitors, so I view them as my enemies and feel upset whenever I see them,” Xiao Min, a 14-year-old, told Xinhua. In adolescence, when the ability to cope with setbacks has yet to fully develop, young people are far more susceptible to mental health issues, according to Liu Huaqing, a physician with Beijing Huilongguan Hospital. Unfortunately, the symptoms are often ignored, met far too often with responses such as, “Why can others deal with setbacks and you can’t?” or “You’re just making something out of nothing.” Mental health is an important factor when considering the well-being of the country’s youth. And this is why the issue is being addressed. Measures such as easing workloads, avoiding public posting of test results and urging schools to stress importance of adequate sleep have previously been taken. But in addition to these efforts, a new action plan has been put into place. The plan calls for all schools in China to offer psychological services on campus. Aside from the authorities’ efforts, families and teenagers need to be proactive(积极主动的), noted psychological consultants, Yang Guilin. “Parents should try to be supportive, warm and open with their kids,” Yang added. “Teenagers should engage in aerobic exercise, such as playing badminton, to release negative emotions.” ()32. What led to Wang Yanan’s suffering from depression?A. Her parents’ expecting too much of her.B. Her constant poor academic performance.C. Her lying sleepless at night frequently.D. Her tiring and heavy academic burden.()33. How does Xiao Min react to the competition between classmates?A. Negatively.B. Positively.C. Indifferently.D. Doubtfully.()34. When faced with setbacks, why are middle school students more likely to be affected?A. Because they are undergoing too much pressure.B. Because they are afraid of fierce competition.C. Because they are not mentally mature.D. Because they are lacking in peer support.()35. Which of the following describes a new phenomenon in schools across China?A. The students will no longer be troubled by the practice of posting test results publicly.B. The students will have more time to relax themselves and enjoys better health.C. The students may learn to cope with psychological problems under professional guidance.D. The students can develop some hobbies to rid themselves of negative feelings.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Four tips on increasing your confidenceAvoid addiction to social media. 36 If you stay connected to your phone and dive into social media all the time, your energy is going to be wasted. Addiction to social media is a big no-no when it comes to building your confidence. Its all too easy to compare and feel hopeless when you see those online photos. It’s too much!Know your triggers(触发因素). There are things you probably know about yourself that send you down the path of negativity. 37 Whatever the trigger is, you can make clever choices to ensure you feel your best. This is amazing for reducing anxiety and building your confidence.38 You know the one I’m talking about: the one that’s always telling you, “You’re not good enough,” “That didn’t work,” or “Why did you say this?” It’s part of life to have doubts, but if that critical voice is too loud, you won’t hear all the good stuff you’re doing. So, when you hear that voice of criticism, switch it off and focus on something you’re grateful for or something positive you did. 39 Tackle small goals first. Tiny goals can lead to huge results. If you have a major achievement in mind, break it down into the smallest goal possible. 40 For example, let’s say you want to lose 20 pounds. I want you to lose one pound and do one activity that you can commit to, like a 7-minute workout. This will build new, positive habits that will eventually make you achieve much.A. Keep away from your inner critic.B. Surround yourself with honest people.C. If you’re aware of those things, you can avoid them.D. Stop putting things off until you feel more confident.E. That way, you can actually accomplish it and feel amazed.F. Or literally look in the mirror and say, “Hey, Im doing awesomely.”G. To build your confidence, remember that real magic happens in real life.36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 第三部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。When I was a child, I looked forward to the arrival of lunar New Year.

I listened to the radio on my drive. Suddenly, an SUV bumped into my car.By the end of the day, I learned my neck had broken in four places. Over the next few days in the hospital, I began to get a clearer picture of what had happened. A local high school student, rushing to class, had crossed the centre line and hit me head-on. I also heard he was very, very upset by what had happened. I felt bad that he had such a burden to bear at such a young age. I spent a lot of time just thinking about the teenage boy. I wondered how he was doing, both physically and emotionally.Fourteen months after the accident, I was grocery shopping when a woman approached me and asked if I was Suzanne. She introduced herself, and I realized it was the young man’s mother. I appreciated learning how he was doing. He had also been injured, breaking his wrist, and had needed counselling to help with the emotional trauma(创伤) of causing the accident. He was now in college and had anxiety driving to class. I could certainly empathize(共鸣) with the difficulty of getting back behind the wheel of a car.Secretly, I wished I could talk to him, hoping he had moved on with his life and wasn’t distressed any longer. Seven months later, it was time for our daughter’s Christmas band concert at the high school. At the end of the concert, the choir director invited alumni(校友) of the high school choir who were in attendance to come up on stage and sing one last song with the current members. One young man in a white hoodie and ball cap ran up and stood on the stage. Suddenly, I realized that it was him, the driver.The concert ended. I squeezed my way through the crowd and up the stage stairs until I was next to him. He was smiling, happy, and joking around with his friends.“Hi, I’m Suzanne,” I said.Paragraph 1:He was completely shocked and knew who I was.Paragraph 2:We both were relieved and I patted his shoulder, turned, and ran down the stairs.江苏省2024-2025学年高三上学期期初迎考卷英语参考答案与评分标准第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分)听下面5段对话,每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项,并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。Text 1W: Wow!

Some people have even claimed that the first air conditioning device was invented in ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptians would hang wet plants outside their windows, and when the air came into the house, it would be cooled by the cool water drops on the plants.The Romans understood that if they could bring cold water under their houses, then the temperature inside would fall. And if we really stretch the meaning of the phrase “air conditioning”, then hand fans have been used since the very beginning of the history. People realized that they could move air by waving something and it would cool them down for a while.The Chinese inventor Ding Huan went a step further in the second century and invented a fan that could go around, similar to fans we might see today, although it was powered by servants.That’s all for today.

Because of his hard work and considerable knowledge, he enjoyed great popularity at a young age. He travelled a lot to try to persuade kings to accept his political opinions. Although he failed, he established the first private school in China and founded Confucianism.Confucius was so influential that many of his teachings are still valued today. His words were recorded in a book. By reading it, people can benefit a lot from his wisdom.第二节(满分25分)Paragraph 1:He was completely shocked and knew who I was. He was in panic and anxious to apologize. I smiled at him, saying I just wanted to tell him that I was okay and never mad at him. Suddenly, he threw his arms around me, as if he didn’t care about all the people around us. I kept talking. “I know this was hard on you, and I’m sorry. I’m a better person for what happened that day. I really am. And I think about you all the time.”Paragraph 2:We both were relieved and I patted his shoulder, turned, and ran down the stairs. He followed to express his gratitude, saying my forgiveness made him peace of mind, but I never felt like I had anything to forgive. It was an accident, and I was never angry or depressed about it. When he hugged me in that moment, I felt that any feelings of guilt, shame, or sadness he might still have had were swept away. In truth, though, it was healing for us both.
