A

[2023·山东省潍坊市高三上学期期中考试]A new version of a student loan forgiveness application will be officially launched by the Education Department later this month.It is to cancel up to $10，000 in debt for those earning less than $125，000 per year and up to $20，000 for those who received Pell Grants. It will not forgive any student loan debt under the debt relief plan prior to October 23, 2022.

How long the application will be up: The department is offering periodic access to the form—so borrowers may have to refresh the site page or keep checking back. The application will be available through Dec. 31, 2023

What the application asks for: It requires only basic information, including name, birth date, Social Security number, phone number and an e­mail address. Borrowers will not need what's known as an FSA ID to log into the application, nor will they need to upload any documents, including tax records.

Will borrowers need to prove they meet the plan's income requirements? Instead of providing documents that confirm you, as an individual, earned $125，000 in 2020 or 2021 or, as a couple, less than $250，000, the application simply asks borrowers to check a box to guarantee under the laws that all information provided on this form is true and correct.

How long will it take to process each application? A matter of weeks. The department wants to relieve as many debts as possible before student loan payments restart in January.

1．What is the aim of the student loan forgiveness application?

A．To advocate Pell Grant.

B．To give students a reward.

C．To increase family incomes.

D．To ease the debt burden.

2．What is a must for applicants?

B．Uploading the tax records.

C．Providing true information.

D．Paying off the loan before January.

3．What is the text?

A．An advertisement.

B．A loan handbook.

C．An official report.

D．A department work plan.

Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind. People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence. For years, she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramic class.

On one summer day, Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car.

I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? I imagined the cool lake water. Annoyed, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. We sat in silence. I was too upset to make conversation.

“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going？” Mama asked calmly.

“No，” I said.

“We are going to volunteer at a children's shelter today. I have been there before and I think it will benefit you，” she explained.

When we reached the shelter, Mama rang the doorbell. Moments later, we were greeted by a woman. She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with iron marks. I was told it was because she wouldn't stop crying. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds.

As I took in my surroundings, I felt a gentle tug on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl looking up at me. “Hi. You want to play dolls with me？” she asked. I looked over at Mama for reinforcement. She smiled and nodded. I turned back and said, “Sure.” Her tiny hand reached up and held mine, as if to comfort me.

My mom taught me a worthy lesson that summer. I returned to the shelter with her several times. During those visits, some of the children shared their troubled past with me and I learned to be grateful for what I had. Today as I try to instill (逐渐灌输) these values in my own child, I reflect back to that experience. It was a time that I will never forget.

(2016·四川省南充市第三次适应性考试)Two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior.

One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.

They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner's Dilemma. The game is based on the tension (紧张气氛) between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher.

Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least. And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings were. The group with the most punishment earned twenty­five percent less than the group with the least punishment. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.

The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More

than eight hundred children aged two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children aged five to nine.

The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not. The study says the IQs — or intelligence quotients — of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points.

Murray Strauss from the University of New Hampshire worked with Mallie Paschall from the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation. Professor Strauss has written extensively about physical punishment of children. He says the more they are spanked, the slower their mental development. He also looked at average IQs in other nations and found them lower where spanking was more common.

1．Which could be the best title of the passage?

A．Punishment

B．The Best Way to Influence Behavior

C．Punishment or Reward: Which Works Better on Behavior?

D．Two Recent Studies

2．The underlined word “spanked” probably means “______”．

A．won B．punished

C．tested D．praised

3．According to the passage, the researchers may agree the best way to influence behavior is ________.

A．rewarding good behavior

B．correcting bad behavior

C．punishing badly­behaved children

D．praising well­behaved children

4．The author develops the passage ________.

A．in order of time

B．in order of importance

C．by describing his experiences

D．by using quotations (引证) and statistics

                                        D

You are a new manager at the American branch of your German firm in Chicago. With a few minutes to spare between meetings, you go to get a quick cup of coffee.

“Hey, David, how are you？” one of the senior partners at the firm asks you.

“Good, thank you, Dr Greer，” you reply. You've really been wanting to make a connection with the senior leadership at the firm, and this seems like a great opportunity. But as you start to think of something to say, your American colleague breaks in to steal your spotlight.

“So Arnold，” your colleague says to your boss, in such a casual manner that it makes your German soul cringe (畏缩), “So what's your Super bowl prediction? I mean, you're a Niners fan, right？”

The conversation moves on, and you walk silently back to your desk with your coffee. You know how important small talk is in the US, and you feel jealous of people who can do it well.

There's nothing small about the role that small talk plays in American professional culture. People from other countries are often surprised at how important small talk is in the US and how naturally and comfortably people seem to do it—with peers, men, women, and even with superiors. You can be the most technically skilled worker in the world, but your ability to progress in your job in the United States is highly dependent on your ability to build and maintain positive relationships with people at work. And guess what skill is critical for building and maintaining these relationships? Small talk.

What can you do if you are from another culture and want to learn to use small talk in the US to build relationships and establish trust? Work hard to hone (磨炼) your own version of American­style small talk. Watch how others do it. You don't have to imitate what they do; in fact, that would likely backfire because people would see you as inauthentic (假的，不可信的). But if you can develop your own personal version, that can go a long way toward making you feel comfortable and competent.

1．The author introduces the topic of the passage by ________.

A．offering a plot 

B．describing an interesting scene

C．making comparisons 

D．telling a small joke

2.What do we know about German people?

A．They don't make so much small talk.

B．They hate making small talk.

C．They usually make small talk in work breaks.

D．They are good at making small talk too.

 3.What makes people from other countries surprised in American professional culture?

A．American workers' ability to make progress.

B．American workers' attitude towards superiors.

C．The special meaning of small talk.

D．The role small talk plays in work settings.

4．What does “backfire” underlined in the last paragraph mean?

A．Have a warm atmosphere 

B．Have the opposite effect

C．Have a good result 

D．Have a hard time

According to the article, the number of students waking up during the night to check social media is growing. Afraid of missing a comment or opportunity to take part in a chat, teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved. __3__

Experts are worried about this growing trend and the report reveals some worrying statistics: 23% of 12­to 15­year­olds wake up nearly every night to use social media. __4__ One in third of the students are constantly tired and unable to function to their full capacity.

So I'd like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Switch off your devices at night. The world won't end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! __5__

[2023·山东省高三检测]Running a marathon is an impressive achievement. Running it again is doubly impressive. Completing two marathons on walking sticks while partially paralyzed (瘫痪) is a test to the human spirit. Hannah Gavios decided to participate in the New York City Marathon in 2018 after learning about Amanda Sullivan, who had previously completed marathons after an auto accident left her disabled.

In 2016, Gavios took a vacation in Vietnam. On her way back to her hotel one night, she feared she had gotten lost and asked for directions. But the person led her to a dark, wooded area and attacked her. While running away, she fell off a cliff, falling down 150 feet. She lay paralyzed at the bottom of the cliff for hours, until she was ultimately rescued in the morning. The fall left her with a serious injury that has affected muscles in her lower body. But it hasn't stopped her from living her life to the fullest.

The road to recovery was difficult at first. Gavios was in the hospital in Thailand for 18 days and after that spent two months in Manhattan before being discharged. At first, she couldn't even sit up. When she tried to stand up for the first time since being attacked, she felt lightheaded and fell.

Through physical therapy (治疗), Gavios felt herself getting much stronger. Eventually, though, she was doing the exercises without any assistance. Seeing the progress that she was making kept her going, Gavios began challenging herself through activities outside of physical therapy. She went on difficult hiking in the mountains. “It was something that I just started becoming more creative with and always putting myself to the test, pushing boundaries outside of what was normal，” Gavios said. But even while she was pushing her body to constantly do more, she still had a feeling that running, an activity she loved and that once came so easily to her, would no longer be possible.
