A country famous for its Alps and its skiers has a new champion。 His name is Dominic Thiem, awakening from an unlucky start to win his first Grand Slam title（大满贯冠军）on his fourth try and becoming the first Austrian to win the US Open（Tennis Championships).

Showing world—class resilience（韧性）in a 2-6， 4—6, 6—4, 6-3, 7-6 victory over his longtime friend Alexander Zverev of Germany， the third-ranked Thiem made history， winning the first Open final to be decided by a fifth—set tiebreaker（决胜局). He joins Thomas Muster, who won the French Open in 1995， as the only Austrian to win a major tennis championship。

Thiem， of course, is also the first man from any nation to take a major title before no fans, during the COVID—19.

Thiem soldiered through the toughest test of all, a match that took 321 points and four hours and one minute to decide. His cheerfulness and relief were noticed as he collapsed to the court， but it was a little bittersweet， considering that his opponent was a good friend.

\"It's amazing how this journey brought us to share this moment with you,” Thiem said during the award ceremony。 I think we both deserved it…You' re going to make it 100 percent。 You're going to make your parents proud。\"

Zverev， on his chair， was fighting tears. When it was time to talk, he congratulated Thiem and said， \"I wish you would have missed a little bit more so I could have held that prize up, but here I am giving the silver medalist speech。 \"He continued. Now he was really crying. 4. What do we know about Dominic Thiem from the first two paragraphs？

Canadian—Iranian designer Roya Aghighi wants you to imagine that your shirt is alive. Aghighi hopes we can develop a more close relationship with fashion-by treating clothes as living beings that need our help to survive。

Aghighi’s thought experiment isn’t as far-fetched as it might seem。 Working with a group of scientists at the University of British Columbia（UBC）, she has invented a living, biofabricated photosynthesizing（生物制造光合作用的)it LivingC.

UBC claims it’s the first living and photosynthesizing fabric, and has fashioned the material into transparent clothing. While clothing like these are still in the early stages of research and design, and far from mass production, they challenge the fashion industry to reimagine ways it can reduce its huge carbon footprint through alternative fabrics.

Fashion is one of the world’s most polluting industries。 It's responsible for more carbon emissions than international flights and shipping combined, amounting to 10％ of all greenhouse gases emitted globally。

US consumers are buying more clothing than ever, wearing each item fewer times and sending almost 70% of the clothes and footwear produced each year to landfill, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency。

fabric, which purifies the air around it。 She named

辽宁省部分重点中学协作体2021届高三英语下学期4月模拟考试试题

While Aghighi’s new and advanced clothing is now only at the proof—of-concept stage, buyers may one day be instructed to stretch the fabric out in front of a window before putting it on. Biotechnology is a big business. Beyond the world of fashion， it’s seen as an alternative for polyurethane plastics—the world’s most common plastic, which is used in everything from bags to outdoor furniture as well as in fabrics。

Aghighi predicts consumption habits will take a long time to change. \"It is going to be a slow shift,\" she said. ”But I hope that it's going to be a long lasting one.\" 8. How can we understand \"shirt is alive” in Paragraph 1? A. We imagine that it is alive. B。 It is made of a living creature。

C。 It is made of living biofabricated materials. D. It wears well and lasts permanently。 9。 What can we learn from LivingC? A. It has been put into production already. B。 It has affected people's consumption habits. C. It can meet the demands of the US consumers soon。 D. It can make the air around fresher and clearer。 10。 What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？ A. To inform the public of the latest fashion style.

B. To draw public attention to the influence of fashion industry。 C. To introduce an invention that will benefit our environment.

D。 To stress the importance of scientific advance in fashion industry。 11。 In which column of the newspaper can we likely find this article？ A. Science and Life C. Economics and Business

B。 Entertainment D. Domestic News D

A number of people hold an optimistic attitude toward artificial intelligence’s ability to reshape education nowadays。 However， many feel such claims are overblown。

Kentaro Toyama a professor at the University of Michigan School of Information, is one of those doubtful about the idea of using AI in the classroom。

Toyama mentioned a situation he encountered while working in an after-school program in digital

辽宁省部分重点中学协作体2021届高三英语下学期4月模拟考试试题

literacy（数字技术素养）. He said, “In trying to teach students to use technology， the greatest difficulty is the technology itself.” As soon as he looked away from the students， they would “very quickly find the most fun games they could find on the computer and start playing them”. That reveals the problem with putting too much faith in Al for teaching. “There is great potential for it to be a distraction。\" he said。

Toyama once surveyed a large group of people about their preference for the following educational situations: a school with no teachers but powerful AI， one with bad teachers but strong computers, one with good teachers but no computers, or one with great teachers and many computers. The result showed that nobody would send their children to a school with powerful AI but no teachers， or one with bad teachers but strong computers. Toyama concluded， ”Good teachers are what matters; everything else is secondary compared to that。”

Toyama is also concerned that AI and technology may widen the gap between disadvantaged schools and wealthier schools。 He said， ”In the case of schools， well—resourced schools will find the best ways to use technology. But if you' re in a school district that is underfunded and parents are not involved, it doesn’t make a difference how good the technology is, and it will not turn that situation around。”

When asked when schools should adopt AI, Toyama suggested that they should wait until the basics are in place, teachers want it, and the technology is proved to have positive educational values。 12. What does the underlined word ”it” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to？ A。 AI.

B。 Faith.

C. Teaching。

D. Computer.

13。 Why does the author mention the survey in Paragraph 4? A. To emphasize the key factor in education. B。 To recommend his favorite school for parents. C. To compare the differences between AI and teachers. D. To prove that preference for schools varies among people.

14. Which of the following statements will Toyama probably agree with？ A。 Al has the potential to reshape teaching and learning。 B. A good school should put students and technology first。 C. AI will be able to educate students as well as real teachers。 D。 Al and technology may unbalance educational resources。 15。 What is the best title of the text？

Over the years, I've been guilty of hurriedly shutting the front door to many strangers when they came to my home knocking with the intention of selling things.

Last winter, Linda went through a very messy divorce and was very depressed. So she quit her job and left Los Angeles, where she encountered her ex-husband in college. She flew to Boston on the east coast of the US。 Later， she settled in a new neighborhood in East Boston。 However， shortly afterwards， the company where she worked went bankrupt（破产）. Suffering a series of bitter blows. she fell ill, a severe case of flu。 She had to stay at home for the whole week, feeling extremely bad and hopeless。

Early one morning， Linda lay in bed， feeling painful all over. Then all of a sudden， there was an upsetting knock on her front door。 Struggling out of the bed， she dragged herself to the window。 There， outside, she saw a young lady carefully holding some leaflets(传单)and a TV set model. She knew of a large TV set establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered. ”This is the last thing I need today。\" She muttered to herself and hesitantly opened the door。

Coughing bitterly Linda stuck her head out。 \"Excuse me, madam…\" the young lady said with a smile。 \"I'm sorry but I am not the slightest bit interested in any TV whatever.\" Linda interrupted her impatiently. ”As a matter of fact， I am feeling terribly awful。” \"Is there anything I can do for you, madam?” the young lady asked with concern。 \"No thanks, just leave me alone。\" Linda then shut the door in her face。 The young lady politely turned and left in silence.

Over the years， I’ve been guilty of hurriedly shutting the front door to many strangers when they came to my home knocking with the intention of selling things。 I hated it when they tried their best to persuade me to buy the things they promoted。 But earlier this year, around Easter time, a dear friend of mine, Linda， had an experience that changed my mind and attitude towards these \"intruders”。

Last winter, Linda went through a very messy divorce and was very depressed. So she quit her job and left Los Angeles, where she encountered her ex—husband in college. She flew to Boston on the east coast of the US。 Later, she settled in a new neighborhood in East Boston。 However, shortly afterwards, the company where she worked went bankrupt（破产）. Suffering a series of bitter blows。 she fell ill， a severe case of flu。 She had to stay at home for the whole week, feeling extremely bad and hopeless.

Early one morning, Linda lay in bed, feeling painful all over. Then all of a sudden, there was an upsetting knock on her front door. Struggling out of the bed， she dragged herself to the

window. There, outside， she saw a young lady carefully holding some leaflets(传单）and a TV set model. She knew of a large TV set establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered。 \"This is the last thing I need today。” She muttered to herself and hesitantly opened the door。

Coughing bitterly Linda stuck her head out。 \"Excuse me， madam…” the young lady said with a smile。 ”I’m sorry but I am not the slightest bit interested in any TV whatever.\" Linda interrupted her impatiently。 ”As a matter of fact， I am feeling terribly awful。\" ”Is there anything I can do for you， madam?\" the young lady asked with concern. ”No thanks, just leave me alone.\" Linda then shut the door in her face。 The young lady politely turned and left in silence。 注意:

A few hours later, another knock。

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2:

Linda was surprised by this lovely action。

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version：

A few hours later， another knock。 Linda glanced out of the window and to her surprise, there at the door was the same lady， back again。 Really annoyed this time， Linda opened the door but before she could speak， with a concerned look on her face， the young lady handed Linda a warm pot， saying, \"I'm so sorry I disturbed you earlier。 I thought you may like this homemade chicken soup。 Hopefully it might make you feel a little better。 ”（74)

Linda was surprised by this lovely action。 Being new to the area， she didn’t know any neighbors， so the gesture was all the more appreciated. She could only smile embarrassedly and sincerely thanked her。 With that, the lady left. After she related this story to me, I thought about how touching this deed really was. Especially in today's world where， sadly， kindness and thoughtfulness seen so rare。 I also realized that thinking about others and showing kindness is
