江苏省南通市2023-2024学年高三上学期开学统考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解There are thousands of incredible trails that allow us to get up close to nature and here are 4 of the best hiking trails in the world.Pennine Way, the United KingdomStretching 268 miles from the Derbyshire Peak District to the Scottish Borders, the Pennine Way is the United Kingdom’s most famous long-distance path. The entire walk takes around three weeks, passing over wild east of Manchester and through the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, before crossing the ancient border of Hadrian’s Wall and moving on toward Scotland.Camino de Santiago de Compostela, SpainRather than following a single path, the Camino, also known as the Way of St James, is actually a series of different pilgrimage (朝圣) routes. The most popular modem route follows a line across northern Spain from the French Pyrenees. While some choose to stay at monasteries (修道院) along the way, plenty of operators offer hotel stays and luggage transfers.Appalachian Trail, the United StatesExtending for 2,200 miles, the Appalachian Trail is billed as the longest hiking-only footpath in the world. It runs from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine, passing through some of the most remote places in the United States. Those keen on comfort can use companies like Go Shenandoah, which offers pre-booked accommodation and packed lunches.The Basho Wayfarer, JapanThis self-guided trip follows a route taken by the poet Matsuo Basho over 300 years ago. The six-day hike starts in Sendai and works its way through the northern Toboku region, passing through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hiraizumi and along the ancient Dewa Kaido path, with its wonderful forests, before heading into the mountains of Natagiri-toge and finishing at the temple of Yamadera.1．Which hiking trail will allow hikers to see the old wall?A．Pennine Way.B．Appalachian Trail.C．The Basho Wayfarer.D．Camino de Santiago de Compostela. 2．What do Camino de Santiago de Compostela and Appalachian Trail have in common?A．They have more than one popular route.B．They have beautiful scenery along the way.C．Hikers on the two trails can get the desired help.D．Hikers on the two trails may get across two countries.3．What can a hiker do if he chooses The Basho Wayfarer?A．Stay at a monastery.B．Visit famous ancient sites.C．Find a guide to accompany him.D．Pre-book accommodation and lunches.I’m 52, and as surprising as it may seem. I’m a gymnast. In a sport for young girls, I have found an unlikely path to joy. When I enter the gym, no matter how much stress I might be feeling, my mind clears and I forget my life. I think of nothing but what I am doing.When I was 9, I went every Saturday to a gymnastic academy. The coach had gray hair and wore ballet shoes and had boundless enthusiasm. He would say, “You are going to be a gymnast.” And I believed him. I vividly remember the first time I did a roundoff back handspring by myself, the weightlessness of it. I lived for Saturday mornings. I only ever did gymnastics recreationally—I didn’t even know real gyms existed—but I always loved it.That long dormant (蛰伏的) love came roaring back in my forties. It happened in an instant, at parents’ day for my daughter’s beginning gymnastics class. The bars were just sitting there, and I had this overwhelming urge to grab hold and swing. But I couldn’t make it through the warmup (热身运动) at the first adult class I went. I felt bad during conditioning. I was the oldest person there. But that spark of memory glowed with possibility. I went back to class again, and again. It was hard and it was humbling. But soon I was doing back handsprings like I used to.There is nothing like the thrill of getting a new skill, that combination of speed, mechanics, timing, muscles, guts. There is an ineffable (不可言喻的) element, too, something like faith. By the time we reach middle age, most of us have had to deal with our fair share of unwelcome surprises, like illness, family crisis or the death of a beloved parent. But gymnastics has brought the most delightful surprises-I keep getting better, surpassing what I thought were limits, amazing myself by what I can do. At a time in life when many things feel like they are sliding down the slope towards old, gymnastics is a gift of fluencyand competence in motion. I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m a better gymnast now than I was at 16.4．What inspired the author to love gymnastics when she was young?A．Her Saturday routine.B．The coach’s enthusiasm.C．Her wish to be a gymnast.D．Pleasure from gymnastics.5．What made the author go back to gymnastic classes in her forties?A．Her duty as a responsible parent.B．The desire to fit in with her daughter.C．The strong urge to play with the bars.D．Her sweet memory of doing gymnastics.6．Which of the following can describe the author’s personality?A．Faithful and easygoing.B．Humble and competent.C．Passionate and persistent.D．Ambitious and considerate.7．What does the text mainly talk about?A．The dream of a fitness woman B．A middle-aged person’s pursuit.C．The story of a successful gymnast.D．A sport-lover’s unusual experience.Top figure skaters spin at such unbelievably fast speeds—as many as six revolutions per second—that it can make even audiences feel a little dizzy. Although they occasionally fall down upon landing, figure skaters mostly spin through the air without losing their balance. That’s because they have conditioned their bodies and brains to stop that dizzying feeling.Kathleen Cullen, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, studies the vestibular (前庭的) system, which is responsible for our sense of balance and motion, and says spinning without falling from dizziness is an art perfected over time. At the start of their careers, skaters and other athletes feel dizzy when they spin around. But ultimately, they train their brains to better interpret that feeling.“Something really fundamental happens in the brain of people like dancers or skaters over lots of practice. And that’s basically a change in the way the brain is processing information,” Cullen says. “When you spin around, you’re activating the semicircular canals (半规管). They’re filled with liquid and they’re sensing your circular movement. But when you stop, the liquid has inertia and it tends to continue to move. They get a false sensation of movement. Over years of training, figure skaters’ brains have adapted and learned to ignorethis error.”Athletes also learn ways to reduce their dizziness. For example, focusing on a fixed reference or motionless object minimizes dizziness and loss of balance. “Ballet dancers often move their heads around during each turn to fixate on a visual reference. Similarly, at the end of the spin, athletes will focus on a specific spot on the wall to provide a fixed reference,” Cullen says.“The brain and the inner ear are in constant communication with the body and one another to achieve balance,” says Brigid Dwyer, an assistant professor of neurology at Boston University School of Medicine. “For most people, however, dizziness is only a potential issue during faster and more forceful activities,” Dwyer says. “Amazingly, when needed, our brains can be well adapted to the dizzying tasks we encounter.”8．Why do figure skaters hardly feel dizzy after spinning in the air?A．They can maintain the balance well.B．They are in good physical condition.C．They have trained long periods for that.D．They are gifted at controlling their brain9．What does the underlined word “inertia” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．The force to make an object move faster.B．The force to get an object to start moving.C．The nature to change an object’s original state.D．The nature to remain an object’s original state.10．What does Paragraph 3 focus on?A．Scientific analyses.B．Helpful perception.C．Practical examples.D．Amazing outcome.11．What does Brigid Dwyer seem to tell us in the last paragraph?A．Dizziness exists in many dynamic activities.B．The brain can communicate with inner ears.C．Communication is vital to keeping balance.D．The brain can be used to dizziness over time.“Going wireless is the future for just about everything!” That is a quote from scientist Sreekanth Chalasani, and we can’t help but agree. Realizing this, a team of scientists hasmade a breakthrough toward wirelessly controlling human cells using sound, in a technique called “sonogenetics (声遗传学).” This concept may seem strange but let us explain.Basically, the term “sonogenetics” means using ultrasound (超声波) to change the behavior of cells in a non-invasive manner. “We already know that ultrasound is safe, and that it can go through bone, muscle and other tissues, making it the ultimate tool for controlling cells deep in the body,” says Chalasani.Low-frequency ultrasound waves can target a particular protein that is sensitive to the signal. This research, published in Nature Communications, focused on TRPA1. When this protein is stimulated through the ultrasound waves, it also stimulates the cells which carry it. What type of cell is being stimulated depends on the outcome. For example, a muscle cell may contract with stimulation, or a neuron (神经元) in the brain will fire. In this experiment, scientists genetically marked cells with an increased concentration of TRPA1, making them the key targets of the ultrasound waves.Currently, treating conditions like Parkinson’s disease requires scientists to implant electrodes (电极) in the brain which stimulate certain disordered cells. Researchers hope that sonogenetics can one day replace these invasive treatments.In the future, the team wants to adjust the placement and amount of TRPAI around the body using the gene treatment. Gene delivery techniques have already been shown to be successful in humans, such as in treating blindness. Therefore, it’s just a case of adjusting this theory to a different sound-based setting.“Gene delivery techniques already exist for getting a new gene—such as TRPA1—into the human heart,” Chalasani says. “If we can then use an external ultrasound device to activate those cells, that could really change pacemakers.” There is still a while to go before this treatment can become a reality. The future for sonogenetics, though, looks bright. 12．What’s working principle for sonogenetics?A．Using medicine interventional therapies.B．Changing cells’ shape with new equipment.C．Controlling cells in a non-invasive manner.D．Using a kind of unique medical composition.13．What did the scientists do in the experiment?A．Change the concentration of the protein.B．Find target cells for treatment precisely.C．Analyze the protein sensitive to the sign.D．Choose the type of cell to be stimulated.14．What can we learn about sonogenetics from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A．It can be applied to other fields besides medicine.B．It may replace some traditional medical therapies.C．It will totally transform gene delivery techniques.D．It has succeeded in curing diseases like blindness.15．What’s the best title for the text?A．Can cells be controlled by sound?B．How is sonogenetics clinically used?C．Are gene delivery techniques available?D．What are applications of sonogenetics?二、七选五With a tough economy, it’s difficult to meet our employees’ expectation of salarytheir work efficiency, in addition to money.Recognizing a person’s strong contribution is important, which can take many forms. Examples include taking someone to lunch and letting them know how much you value their performance. You publicly recognize someone’s performance with details of what they did.17 These should be done at annual events in the presence of their peers.Another one is motivational climate. Take a look around at the work environment and do whatever you can to make it a more pleasant place. There are many ways to upgrade a working environment, which will be appreciated by employees working there long hours a day. 18 Make it clear that you’re doing this “in recognition of your strong contributions” until the business improves.You can invite them to a party to simply celebrate their good work. Do some team-building exercises that are fun and motivating. Bounce some ideas off them of how to achieve your business goals. 1920 To achieve this, keep your door open. Show your care about them. Take an interest in their families, their hobbies, and their development. Open up to them and listenmore. Of course it takes time and effort to build good relationships with people. But it’s worth the investment.A．Certificates of honor can even be presented.B．How can we motivate them to keep dynamic?C．What can we do to have them stay on the job?D．Trustworthy people are far more likely to cooperate.E．What can also inspire employees is trust and understanding.F．Conduct group brainstorms about ways to increase sales figures.G．If you aren’t sure what to do, ask your employees what they’d like.三、完形填空My grandmother is the woman who plays a significant role in my life. It’s particularly24．A．servant B．center C．origin D．volunteer 25．A．morals B．education C．careers D．wealth 26．A．establish B．approach C．reserve D．control 27．A．taste B．design C．cooking D．training 28．A．backed down B．helped out C．broke down D．stood out 29．A．treasured B．erased C．generated D．upgraded 30．A．relationship B．hardship C．leadership D．friendship 31．A．scheduled B．forced C．chosen D．expected 32．A．difference B．feature C．possibility D．process 33．A．addicted B．compared C．exposed D．contributed 34．A．bothered B．threatened C．shaped D．promised 35．A．profitable B．positive C．strange D．romantic四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

As a result, they often become skillful at considering other people’s perspective, making them more effective communicators. Also, being bilingual can improve people’s social life due to the simple fact that it allows them to talk to more people, which helps them have an open mind. Last but not least, being bilingual is a great convenience during a trip. Culture shock is a common side effect of travelling abroad. However, it’s easi er to relax and have fun if one can order food confidently, ask for directions when lost, and pick up on jokes in another culture.In conclusion, being bilingual gives people a competitive edge both in their career and in their life.附：听力材料(Text 1)W: C ould you please sign for a parcel for me this afternoon?M: Sure.

In those days there was a girl who showed you to your seats in the dark if you arrived after the film had started — and she was there with her boxes of sweets and ice cream in the breaks. My mother had given me some money before we left home, so I queued up and bought myself some chocolate.But the film itself was the most important thing. When the curtains opened and the lights went down, I couldn’t believe my eyes. There were sudden changes of scenes that took my breath away, and action that was shown from many different angles. Obviously audiences are used to all that now — these days film scenes only last a few seconds and are filled with special effects. In those days one scene could last for several minutes. And of course the sets were very basic, if you compare them to today’s. But the performances the actors gave were wonderful. I had never experienced anything like it and I loved the cinema f rom that point on. And now I’m a film director!。

From five -wheeled cycles and rockets to a lioness and flintlock pistols （手枪），the award-winning Postal Museum offers a surprising and entertaining half day out for all ages.See a restored Mail Coach that thundered across 1800s Britain, get up close to the only existing sheets of the world5 s first postage stamp, the Penny Black, and explore Mail Rail—one of London's hidden gems—with a 15-minute ride through the underground tunnels of the Post Office5 s own 100-year-old railway.Forget what you think you know about the post and visit one of London's newest museums to discover just what it took to keep us all in touch.Know Before You Go• Mail Rail is a miniature railway designed to carry post, not peopl e. As such, it's not suitable for everyone and we^re unfortunately unable to accommodate wheelchair users on the ride itself.• The Postal Museum is open 10am-5pm every day (closed at Christmas).• Please ensure you arrive at least 15 minutes before the en d of the one-hour Mail Rail timeslot shown on your ticket. Failure to arrive on time may result in being unable to ride Mail Rail.• Re-entry is permitted any time between 10am and 4:30pm on the date stated on the ticket.36．A visitor to the Postal Museum will have the chance to .A．take the restored Mail CoachB．ride Mail Rail for 15 minutesC．get a copy of the Penny BlackD．hear an unusual story of the post37．From the advertisement, we can know that .A．re-entry is not permitted during the opening hoursB．the museum reduces the opening hours at ChristmasC．unpunctual visitors may not get the most out of the tourD．wheelchair users cannot ride Mail Rail without attendanceAccording to new health guidelines, even a minute or two of physical exercise is better than nothing: just walking upstairs and down again, before continuing your otherwise entirely sofa-based afternoon of crisps and television, makes for a healthier life than if you hadn' t bothered. The previous recommendation was for a 10-minute minimum, but for years’ the general direction of research has been toward the conclusion that there is no minimum at all. This doesn51 just go for exercise^ either. Five minutes in nature can boost your mental health; and while one daily serving of vegetables may be too few, it's definitely preferable to zero. If you are wondering whether or not some tiny but healthful activity is worth it, the answer^ almost always, is yes.It' s a little strange actually, that this is even a topic of debate. Of course anything is better than nothing. For one thing, it's a good start for building habits. For another, tiny actions are valuable in themselves. Human bodies aren't digital devices, and health generally isn't a matter of reaching fixed thresholds （门槛）；what is good for the organism in large quantities is usually good in smaller ones, too.The real reason for the debate is not that the facts are in dispute （争议）.It's that information is dangerous. When public bodies recommend^ say, a 10-minute minimum, it's because they worry that if they don't, people who might otherwise have exercised for 10 minutes will stop after two.Even this column risks making things worse. If you had truly been planning to spend all day on the sofa, perhaps I have inspired you to take a five-minute walk; but if there is a chancethat you would have gone to the gym for an hour, reading these words might persuade you to试卷第6页，总13页settle for the stroll （散步）instead.Ideally, we would stop thinking about healthy behaviours in terms of minimums: within reason, you should be doing as much exercise as you can, not as little as you can get away with —while remembering that nothing is too minor to be not worth the bother. This is a sensible approach to much of life, I would say, from being a good friend or paying attention to your kids, to saving money or reducing your environmental impact. However much you do9 it will never be enough. But that is not a reason to do nothing —on the contrary^ it' s a reason to do something.38．Tiny healthy actions are worthwhile because • A ．they contribute to good habits and health B ．they provide abundant choices for fitness C ．they add a new dimension to people , s lives D ．they are easily conducted in people 5 s daily lives39．Why don public bodies recommend a minimum time for exercise? A ．People have their own concept of time. B ．It contradicts with new health guidelines. C ．There is a lack of scientific research on it. D ．People may misinterpret its real intentions. 40．What does the writer want to stress in the passage? A ．Life lies in movement. B ．All roads lead to Rome. C ．Actions speak louder than words. D ．Anything is better than nothing.We like to think that the human mind is special. One sign of our superiority is self-awareness, which is generally seen as the peak of consciousness. Only a select group of species has passed the test of being able to recognise themselves in a mirror. Most, including elephants, apes and dolphins, are smart. But now a little fish, the cleaner wrasse has become the first fish ever to pass the mirror test ——a classic experiment used to judge self-awareness in animals. What are we to make of this?…………○………………○……Admittedly^ the mirror test is a questionable way of probing （探究）the minds of other animals. But the finding does fit with a new idea that the ability to recognise oneself is more related to an animal’s lifestyle than to its brain size. Self -awareness is likely to occur in creatures whose survival is dependent on reading the minds of others. In fact, by this way of thinking, it is nothing more than an accidental by-product of evolution^ a simulation （模拟）created by the brain, or even just a hall of mirrors giving the illusion of complexity.The cleaner wrasse lives on coral reefs and provides a service by biting parasites （寄 生虫）off the scales of bigger fish gently, a delicate relationship that may require insight into the minds of its clients. Such “theory of mind” has long been seen as anoth er cornerstone of human mental superiority. The possibility that fish possess it is not, however, the only threat to our human exceptionalism （例外）.It may not be long before computers give us a run for our money , too.Researchers have created a set of tests to look for theory of mind in artificialintelligence — and some systems are on the point of passing. No AIs have passed the tests yet, but one got extremely close. We probably don't need to worry about robots that can recognise themselves in mirrors. But we might want to be more open to the idea that human intelligence isn't quite as special as we like to think. 41．What can we learn from the mirror test? A ．Mammals have a more adaptive body system. B ．A species of fish is capable of self-recognition. C ．The human mind is just as special as expected. D ．Humans have reached the peak of consciousness. 42．According to the passage, self-awareness . A ．is formed during evolution by chance B ．corresponds with the size of the brain C ．isn't a hall of mirrors but a simulationD ．reflects the typical mental complexity43．The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably means " A ．bring us huge profits B ．cost us a lot of money试卷第8页，总13页C ．have great control over usD ．challenge our exceptionalism 44．What' s the main idea of the passage? A ．Fish possess no level of intelligence. B ．Humans are not unique in intelligence. C ．AIs will be able to understand our thoughts. D ．Self-awareness is a big mystery of the mind.For me, Christmas was always complicated. As a child, it was joyful, yet a bit bittersweet. On the one hand, there was my Scottish mother, who went all -out for tradition. On the other hand, there was my Bengali （孟加拉）father. He was a reluctant participant in our Christmas celebration.To five-year-old me, the idea that someone might not love Christmas was unbelievable. It was years before I realised that my father’ s own childhood had been a Santa -free zone. I was vaguely aware of the Bengali equivalent （等同物）to Christmas. Every September or October, airmail parcels would arrive, and ambitious plans were hatched to acquire syrupycottage-cheese dumplings. But for me this was an addition to 25 December^ not a substitution.Matters were further complicated by my father 's job. After going to medical school in Kolkata, he had got a posting as a junior doctor at a hospital in Glasgow, where he met my mother, a nurse.（She gave up work after having children.） He often had to work on Christmas Day, which would make Mum angry. My sister and I were largely unaware of this tension, thrilled to go to work with Dad and see actual Santa visiting sick children on the wards.As the years went by, though, my father began to accept Christmas. He was promoted to consultant, so he didn't have to work on the day. Everyone was joyful. Somehow, the more Dad engaged with Christmas, the more I disliked it. It was as if happy atmosphere was one of the infectious diseases he specialised in —I had caught a terminal case” while he had gone on to make a full recovery.Things probably became worse in adulthood by the fact that bad events had a habit of happening to me at Christmas: losing a job, a breakup, a health emergency. My symptoms worsened and I gave up on sending cards or putting up decorations.But then, one day everything changed. In October 2012, my father died. He had been in good health; nothing could have prepared us for such a loss. I have no memory of Christmasthat year, except that it was the worst of my life.During that period,one of the only things that kept me sane （理智的）was weekly choir （唱诗班）practice. However, as anyone who has ever been in a choir knows, Christmas is non-negotiable.So I dragged myself out on that freezing night. The lights were sparkling; London had never looked so beautiful. I was totally lost in the music, so I started dancing, laughing and doing jazz hands, carrying on like the naughty 15-year-old chorister I had been at school.It was then that a woman approached me. "Hi,” she faltered （支吾），“You were wonderful up there—I wanted to thank you.” I made a joke about how we did n't sound as out of tune as normal, but she shook her head. “No, I wanted to thank you." I couldn't think what she meant. "Things aren't so good for me at the moment,” she told me.I looked at her more closely. What I saw in the woman5 s watery blue eyes was grief. It dawned on me then that while I missed my father very much, the loss had come after 48 years of his devoted attention. What I had was a rare gift. Because of it, I would find my way back to myself. Not everyone was that lucky.But the woman was still talking. “Seeing you up there having such a good time, it made me realise I've forgotten how to enjoy myself.” She made a show of jazz hands: "I'm going to remember to do this.”Six years on, I am the one buying wrapping paper in July and making my own Christmas cards. It might sound strange, but that generous conversation somehow gave me permission to get back to the serious business of enjoying life——and Christmas. Not only was it what my father would have wanted, but doing so could have a positive impact on others—even perfect strangers.45．Christmas was complicated for the author as a child because .A．it was celebrated at a different timeB．her parents couldn't afford decorationsC．her parents had their own social customsD．it was reduced to being abandoned in his family46．What was to blame for the author s tense parental relationship at Christmas?A．Mum's loss of job.B．A junior doctor's workload.C．Dad's absence from Christmas.试卷第10页，总13页D ．Children ' s curiosity about Santa.47．Why did the author have a negative feeling towards Christmas in her youth? A ．Her father' s change touched her. B ．She matured and lost interest in it. C ．She was infected with an incurable disease. D ．Her misfortunes always came with Christmas.48．What does the author mean by saying "Christmas is non-negotiable ” in Paragraph 7? A ．She changed her attitude towards Christmas. B ．She was fascinated with the merry atmosphere. C ．Her father ’ s sudden death was a heavy blow to her. D ．She had to join in the celebration as a choir member. 49．Why was the woman grateful to the author? A ．She was inspired by the author. B ．The author made her feel lucky. C ．The author taught her how to dance. D ．They were both in the same situation. 50．What can be learned from the last paragraph?A ．The woman' s remarks helped the author regain passion for life.B ．The author makes Christmas gifts with paper to make a living.C ．The author fails to live up to her father ' s high expectations.D ．Positive mind made little difference to people's well-being.第II 卷（非选择题)请点击修改第II 卷的文字说明 四、任务型阅读请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当 的单词。

Compared to the monolingual, the bilingual have various social experiences. As a result, they often become skillful at considering other people’s perspective, making them more effective communicators. Also, being bilingual can improve people’s social life due to the simple fact that it allows them to talk to more people, which helps them have an open mind. Last but not least, being bilingual is a great convenience duringa trip. Culture shock is a common side effect of travelling abroad. However, it’s easier to relax and have fun if one can order food confidently, ask for directions when lost, and pick up on jokes in another culture.

ARailcardsWant to save on the price of your train tickets?Then you'll need to buy a National Railcard.The first step is to pick the right Railcard,but don't worry!We'll walk you through each type and help you find the one most suited to your needs.The Network RailcardSpend E30 on a Network Railcard for the year and look forward to 1/3 off your train tickets during off-peak(非高峰）times.Enjoy discounted travel across 16 counties(郡）in the South East,evenincluding the whole of London!It is a great option for anyone who doesn't fall into any of the other Railcard categories,as people of any age can hold one.The Student RailcardAt the cost of just E30,this Railcard is excellent value for money.Whether you have an early morning lecture or you're rolling home in the early hours after a night out, you can still get 1/3 off on all passenger rail services within the UK!The only requirement for this Railcard is that you need to be within the ages of 16 and 25.The Millennial RailcardThis Railcard is available for all who are between the ages of 26 and 30, regardless of peak or off-peak times.However,it is currently only available digitally, with users being required to download the Railcard app and show ticket inspectors during train ticket checks.Costing just E30,the new Railcard can be used across the UK.The Disabled Persons RailcardAny passenger with a disability is eligible(符合条件的）to apply for one.It only costs£20,making your overall discount for the year even better!The most important thing is that any types of tickets can be purchased throughout the UK rail network. Besides,it can also get you discounts on London attractions.21.Which Railcard just applies to train services in part of the UK?A.The Network Railcard.B.The Student Railcard.C.The Millennial Railcard.D.The Disabled Persons Railcard.22.What is required for the Student Railcard?A.Riding hours.B. Railcard category.C.Age range.D.Service charge.23.What is special about the Millennial Railcard?A.It cannot be used during peak times.B.It offers discounts on London attractions.C.It is the cheapest among the four Railcards.D.It requires its owners to download an app.BCedar,a third-generation beekeeper from the countryside of New South Wales, Australia,saysthat he was inspired to try and design a simpler hive(蜂箱）after his brother was stung(蜇）during one oftheir honey-gathering tasks.The young guy knew that there must be a clever way to gather honey without having to wear protective suits,open the hive,and disturb the little bees.After several years,Cedar and his father Stuart finally perfected their invention-the Flow.Hive, which can save beekeepers hours of work simply by channeling all of its honey into a tap that can be turned on and off at will.Four years after their initial success,the Flow Hive has had a big influence on honeybee populations around the world.The father and his son say that they have successfully shipped over 51,000 hives to 150 different countries.Since they introduced the hive in 2015,the number of beekeepers in the U.S.alone has increased by over 10%.Their success is particularly significant since honeybee populations have been steadily decreasing as a result of habitat loss.That's why now Stuart and Cedar Anderson are donating their hive earnings to international honeybee advocacy groups.＂We're proud to have donated 100% of profits from the sale of our Flow Pollinator(传粉昆虫）House to nine local pollinator projects in Australia and the U.S. that are at work protecting wild habitats all around the world,"said the Andersons in a statement."Pollinators need large areas of habitat to grow healthily-the more we can do to conserve native habitats,the more opportunities these tiny environmental champions will have to do their important work."24.What can we learn about Cedar?A. He is often hurt by honeybees.B.He is from a big city in Australia.C.He knows a lot about beekeeping.D.He dislikes working with his brother.25.Which of the following best describes the Flow Hive?A.It is friendly to the environment.B.It can improve the quality of honey.C.It can help bees produce more honey.D.It simplifies the honey-gathering process.26.Why do the Andersons make donations?A.To expand their business.B.To protect bees' habitats.C.To build more Flow Hives.D.To help the poor in Australia.27.What would be the best title for the text?A.“Honey on Tap"BeehiveB.The Cost of BeekeepingC.The Growth of a BeekeeperD.True Facts About HoneybeesCIn order to help discover spoilage(变质）and reduce food waste for supermarkets andconsumers,researchers have developed new low-cost,smart phone-linked, eco-friendly spoilage sensors for meat and fish packaging.One in three UK consumers throw away food just because it reaches the use-by date(保存期），but 60%(4.2 million tonnes)of the £12.5 billion-worth of food we throw away each year is safe to eat.The researchers,whose findings were published in ACS Sensors,say the sensors could also eventually replace the use-by date-a widely used indicator of being fresh and eatable.The sensors cost two US cents each to make.Known as"paper-based electrical gas sensors(PEGS)",they detect spoilage gases like ammonia(a poisonous gas with a strong unpleasant smell)in meat and fish products.The information provided by the electronic nose is received by a smart phone,and then you can know whether the food is fresh and safe to eat.The Imperial College London researchers who developed PEGS made the sensors by printingcarbon electrodes(电极）onto a special type of paper.The materials are eco-friendly and harmless,sothey don't damage the environment and are safe to use in food packaging.The sensors,combined with a tiny electronic system,then inform nearby mobile devices,which identify and understand the data about spoilage gases.Lead author Dr Firat Guder,of Imperial's Department of Bioengineering,said, ＂Although they're designed to keep us safe,use-by dates can lead to eatable food being thrown away.They don't alwaysreflect its actual freshness.In fact,people often get sick from foodborne diseases due to poor storage,even when an item is within its use-by date.＂These sensors are cheap enough so we hope to see supermarkets using them within three years.Our goal is to use PEGS in food packaging to reduce unnecessary food waste."The authors hope that PEGS could have applications beyond food processing,like sensing chemicals in agriculture,air quality,and detecting disease markers in breath like those involved in kidney disease.28.What is the function of PEGS according to the text?A.To improve the service of stores.B.To help supermarkets store foods.C.To improve the taste of food products.D.To help people test food freshness.29.What role does the smartphone play while PEGS are functioning?A. It acts as an electronic nose.B.It reads the data collected by PEGS.C.It discovers the spoilage gases from foods.D.It helps print the gas sensors onto paper.30.What does Dr Firat Guder say about use-by dates?A. They are not completely reliable.B.They can help reduce food waste.C.They are not accepted by consumers.D.They are based on scientific research.31.What does the author mainly talk about in the text?A.The process of researching spoilage sensors.B.A new technology in packaging to reduce food waste.e-by dates 'influence on supermarkets and consumers.D.The application of spoilage sensors beyond food processing.DMuazzez Kocek,46,is considered one of the best whistlers in Kuskoy,a village in Turkey's northern Giresun province.Her whistle can be heard over the area's vast tea fields.When President of Turkey visited Kusköy in 2012,she greeted him and proudly whistled,"Welcome to our village!"She uses kus dili,or"bird language".For hundreds of years,this whistled form of communication has been critical for farming in this place,allowing complex conversations over long distances and makinganimal herding(放牧）easier to do.However,because of the increased use of cellphones,the language isat risk of dying out.Turkey is one of a handful of countries in the world where whistling languages exist.They attractlinguistic(语言学的）experts very much.There is a long-held belief that language interpretation occurs mostly in the left hemisphere(大脑半球），and tunes and singing on the right.But a study conducted in Kuskoy suggests that whistling language is processed in both hemispheres.Organ Civelek,37,who can whistle in full sentences,explained that they are very proud of their linguistic custom and want to share it with visitors.Since 1997,Kuskoy village has been hosting an annual Bird Language,Culture and Art Festival,where the community gathers to practice and compete.While technology is contributing to the language's disappearance,it is also being used by some to preserve it.Mr.Civelek,who teaches bird language to children during the summer,uses an application called"Islik Dili Sozlugu,"or whistling language dictionary.＂You can lose or break a phone,but as long as you can breathe,you can whistle," said Mr.Civelek."It's a communication tool that you can bring with you anywhere."32.Before cellphones,what did Turkish farmers mainly use kus dili to do?A.Talk with wild birds.B.Greet respectable guests.C.Speak with people far away.D.Warn farm animals of risks.33.What might be concluded based on the study conducted in Kuskoy?A.The right hemisphere interprets sounds.B.Whistling language isn't unique to Turkey.C.Brain structures processing language aren't fixed.D.The left hemisphere helps us understand conversations.34.Which of the following can best convey Mr.Civelek's opinion on technology?A.Misfortunes never come alone.B.Every coin has two sides.C.A good beginning makes a good ending.D.All things are difficult before they are easy.35.What is main idea of the text?A.People in Turkey whistle more and talk less.B.You may lose a phone,but never a tradition.C.People in Turkey keep a language of whistles alive.D.Cellphones can connect you to the world,but not a heart.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。

George Nakashima always insisted that he was a simple woodworker, not an artist． Even though major museums exhibited his works and the director of the American Craft Museum called him a national treasure, Mr Nakashima rejected the label of artist． For almost fifty years he simply went on shaping wood into beautiful chairs, tables, and cabinets．Nakashima had a clear goal． He intended each piece of furniture he made to be as perfect as possible． Even making a box was an act of creation, because it produced an object that had never existed before． Initially Nakashima used local wood, sometimes from his own property． Later, he traveled to seek out English oak, Persian walnut, African zebra wood and Indian teak． He especially liked to find giant roots that had been dug out of the ground after a tree was taken down． Nakashima felt that making this wood into furniture was a way of allowing the tree to live again．Most furniture makers prefer perfect boards, but Nakashima took pleasure in using wood with interesting knots（节疤）and cracks． These irregularities gave the wood personality and showed that the tree had lived a happy life．He never failed to create an object that was both useful and beautiful． One early piece Nakashima designed was a three﹣legged chair for his small daughter Mira, to use when she sat at the table for meals． The Mira chair became so popular that Nakashima later made both low and high versions． Another famous piece, the Conoid chair, has two legs supported by bladelike feet． Always, Nakashima's designs were precise andgraceful, marked by a simplicity that revealed his love for the wood．As the years passed, Nakashima's reputation grew and his work received many awards． His children Mira and Kevin, now adults, joined the team of crafts ﹣ people in their father's studio． Nakashima's dream of integrating work and family had come true．（1）Which of the following best describes Nakashima？________A Generous and outgoing．B Honest and simple．C Capable andfriendly． D Creative and modest．．（2）Why was Nakashima called a national treasure？________A His art work made trees live again．B He used precious wood materials．C His chairs were beautifully designed．D He was devoted to making furniture．．（3）What can we learn about Nakashima from the last two paragraphs？________A He loved his work and family．B He made chairs of the same style．C He sought for a simple life and art．D He was lost in researching the wood．．（4）What can be inferred about Mira and Kevin？________A They had an art studio of their own．B They still lacked the ability to create art works．C They had a common interest with their father．D They enjoyed the same reputation with their father．3. Before the end of the year, employees at Ubiquitous Energy, a company in Redwood City, Calif, will gather in a window-lined conference room to stare toward the future. That's because their new glass windows will offer more than an amazing view of the North California landscape. They will also be able to power the company's lights, computers and air conditioners.Several years in the making, Ubiquitous' energy-producing glass is a remarkable technological achievement. Its power lies in the layers of organic polymers （聚合物） between sheets of glass. As light enters the window, the flow of electrons between the polymer layers creates an electric current, which is then collected by tiny wires in the glass."It's sort of like a transparent computer display run in reverse （反过来）, " says Veeral Hardev, director of business development at Ubiquitous Energy. "Instead of electricity being shuttled to different points in a display to light them up, light is producing electricity to be shuttled out of different points in the window."Right now the windows produce about a third as much electricity from a given amount of sunlight as the typical solar cells used in roof panels（板）．These windows, about half as transparent as ordinary glass, don't work as well as transparent ones. Hardev says the company is likely to improve the transparency significantly. As for the lower output of electricity, he notes that windows can cover a much greater surface area than a roof, so numerous windows will produce a surprisingly larger amount of electricity than the production from a rooftop full of higher-efficiency solar panels. "You could do both." says Hardev. "But you'll get more from the windows. The biggest challenge, he adds, is increasing the windows from less than two square feet currently to about 50 square feet."（1）What makes the new glass windows special？________A They can offer an amazing view.B They are controlled bycomputers. C They can power the conference room. D They can help stare toward the future.．（2）What is Hardev trying to explain in Paragraph 3？________A The source of light.B The significance of different points.C The similarity of computer and glass.D The working principle of energy-producing glass.．（3）What can affect power production according to the passage？________A The transparency of the glass.B The quality of the rooftop.C The height of the solar panels.D The thickness of the glass.．（4）Which of the following is the best title for the passage？________A Windows： A New Challenge of TechnologyB Windows： No Longer Just for Letting in the LightC Power： A Pressing Problem in the NearFuture D Power： Not Enough from Rooftop Solar Panels．4. Tell a child they need to experience another painful medical procedure, and you'll probably have a kid filled with fear and anxiety． Tell that same child they'll have a chance to strike flying cheeseburgers in outer space while their doctor works on them, and they might feel a little different．That night﹣and﹣day difference in how kids respond to the treatment of their doctors is the reason for Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford's innovative use of virtual reality technology． Packard Children's lets kids participate in experiences that can significantly reduce their anxiety ﹣ and even their pain．This isn't the first time Packard Children's has introduced those innovative methods． In 2015, Thomas Caruso, M．D．, the founder of Packard Children's Childhood Anxiety Reduction through Innovation and Technology（CHARIOT） program, introduced the Bedside Entertainment and Relaxation Theater（BERT）．The system projects videos on a large screen attached to patients' gurneys（装有轮子的床） so they can watch movies and music videos all the way to the operating room． And in early 2017, CHARIOT launched an interactive video game called Sevo the Dragon, which projects on the BERT screen, so the tiniest patients have something fun to do while breathing medicine through a mask．"Children shouldn't grow up being afraid to go to the doctor to have a shot, but certain experiences can cause strong unreasonable fear that last into adulthood． Needle phobia （晕针） is a common example of that, and________is the primary reason adults avoid important immunizations（免疫） like flu shots．" Caruso told Stanford Medicine News Center．VR distraction therapy is being used for kids at Packard Children's as young as age 6 in specific areas like the emergency department, and the tool will be widely used in all of the Children's Health's surgery clinics by the end of 2020．（1）What is paragraph 1 mainly about？________A Doctors' favor of eating cheeseburgers．B Kids' fear and anxiety towards doctors．C Doctors' working on saving the children．D Kids' different reactions to medical treatment．．（2）What is the purpose of the CHARIOT program？________A To ease the patients' worries．B To introduce a new technology．C To help children to breathe medicine．D To show advertisements to the patients．．（3）What does the underlined word "it" refer to in paragraph 4？________A A kind of flu．B The fear of needle for no reason．C The immune system．D A kind of medicine for children．．（4）The VR therapy offers________ experiences to the patients．A disappointingB conventionalC relaxingD unreasonable．第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5. Being able to communicate effectively with others is an essential skill for people of all ages．（1）_______ People who want to develop those skills can learn how to do this from self ﹣help books， workshops， and from the advice of other people．（2）_______ Active listening involves a person listening carefully and attentively to the person speaking，restating what the other person has said ﹣ or what comes across ﹣ in a brief and nonjudgmental manner．（3）_______ Becoming effective at active listening is one way to increase trust and understanding in a relationship， whether it is a personal or professional one．Another tip to developing and improving interpersonal communication skills is to use feedback for different types of communication． Before giving speeches and presentations，it is always well advised to practice them before an audience and to ask for feedback before giving the real speech or presentation．（4）_______It also is essential in developing communication skills to use appropriate body language and eye contact．（5）_______ For example， using direct eye contact and body language that indicates openness， such as uncrossed arms， can help to get across that a person is ready and willing to listen and to speak openly．A． It is essential to learn how to communicate politely．B． These nonverbal signals can convey the true feelings．C． Most people can benefit from improving their communication skills．D． Being active listening doesn't mean people have to employ it continuously．E． This kind of listening focuses more on understanding than on giving advice．F． By doing so， we can ensure the messages are easily understood and come across as intended．G． One of the best tips for developing communication skills is to learn and practice effective listening．第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分15分）第一节（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6.

I was born in 1898， the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn't spare me to go to school, so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old.Everywhere I went, I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can't read the alphabet. People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a ticket to one city, take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else.By 1928， I'd been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love, married and moved to Dallas, where I got work fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children, first went to school, I took my wife aside. "Elzenia," I said. "I don't want the kids to know I can't read or write."In 1938， one day my boss called me in. "George," he said. "No one knows those machines like you do. I'd like to promote you." But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said, "Fill out this application and we'll get you a raise." I couldn't admit the truth. I thanked him and walked out of his office. I did stay right where I was, until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn't stop working. For the next 25 years, I lived a happy life, but it still seemed to me like something was missing.A young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It's information about adult education classes. People can learn to read and write. Now I'm 102． I thought of my friends and neighbours and what they might think if they found out I couldn't read. After all these years, my secret would be out. But all my life I've wanted to read. It was high time for action.注意：1．续写词数应为150左右：2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答．The young man drove me to a huge building and led me into a spacious classroom, which was crowded with elderly people like me. ___________I'm still going to school.____________2020-2021学年江苏省南通市某校高三（上）期初英语试卷答案1.
