广东省惠州市惠城区2018届高三英语9月月考试题阅读理解（每道小题2分）A篇Indian media claimed Chinese military has entered into our Bhutanese territory, following a standoff with Indian soldiers deployed in the border.The standoff was at Doklam (or Donglang) which India say is within Bhutan while China says it’s inside Chinese territory. Bhutan has not made any statements.China said, its soldiers were constructing road when Indian Army solders approached to dispute the construction.About 89 square kilometre areas in Doklam Plateau, which overlooks the strategically important Chumbi Valley in the intersection of India-China-Bhutan. The area had been in dispute between Bhutan and China for a long time. India, in this instance, is making attempts to be party in the conflict.The statement issued by Colonel Ren Guoqiang, spokesperson for Indian Ministry of National Defence and Chinese Government, however, did not have any reference to the Bhutan-China dispute over Doklam Plateau.New Delhi fear the road China building in Doklam Plateau would give it a strategic advantage against India in a possible military conflict in future. The plateau overlooks the Chumbi Valley, which is not far from “Siliguri Corridor” –the narrow stretch of land that connects India’s seven north-eastern States with the rest of the country.Beijing in the past indicated to Thimphu that it was ready to give up much of its territorial claims in northern Bhutan if the latter accepts Doklam Plateau as a territory of China.

Doklam is very important for the security of the north-eastern India.B篇Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American clergyman, activist, and prominent leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He is best known for being an iconic figure in the advancement of civil rights in the United States and around the world, using nonviolent methods following the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. King has become a national icon in the history of modern American liberalism.A Baptist minister, King became a civil rights activist early in his career. He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, serving as its first president. King's efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he expanded American values to include the vision of a color blind society, and established his reputation as one of the greatest orators in American history.In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other nonviolent means. By the time of his death in 1968, he had refocused his efforts on ending poverty and stopping the Vietnam War.King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. federal holiday in 1986.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A. It is a biography of Martin Luther King.B. Martin Luther King was a biologist.C. Martin Luther King was one of the greatest orators in American history.D. King Jr. was a prominent leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement.6. Which statement is NOT false?A. Using nonviolent methods, King Jr. was the teacher of Mahatma Gandhi.B.

Martin Luther King succeeded in ending poverty and the Vietnam War.D. King Jr. was tired of racial discrimination, thus struggling.8. The underlined word in the last paragraph 4 could be replaced by ______.A. after deathB. humorouslyC. highlyD. seriouslyC篇One must remember to be courteous when living in an apartment building. You may unintentionally bother your neighbors with actions that you perceive to be harmless. This is especially true for those individuals who live above an apartment. Living upstairs, you must always be aware that everything you do may be heard by those wholive below. This doesn't mean that you have to drastically change your lifestyle, though.Wear slippers while in your upstairs apartment. This will lessen the impact of your footsteps, thus limiting the sound your downstairs neighbor will hear. You should always remember to remove your shoes when entering your apartment to ensure that your downstairs neighbor doesn't hear you stomping around.Place rugs in your apartment if you have hardwood floors. Doing so is another way to decrease the sounds of steps coming from an upstairs apartment. You can also put your furniture on these rugs. This keeps your furniture from moving around, thus limiting noise a downstairs neighbor may hear.Buy elevated shelves for your TVs and stereos. Lifting these items off the ground will keep both the sound and vibration from traveling to your floor/your downstairs neighbor's ceiling. You can also place items in the shelving underneath your TV/stereo, such as books, DVDs and CDs.Close your windows when you can. When your windows are open, your downstairs neighbor is even more likely to hear your conversations as well as whatever you're watching on TV or listening to on a radio.Limit late-night guests during the week. Having half a dozen people walking around your apartment at 11 pm on a Monday night will be very irritating to your downstairs neighbor who has to work the next morning.Do your cleaning and other such errands on weekend afternoons. There will undoubtedly come a time when you will wish to run a vacuum cleaner or move stuff around your place. Performing these chores at 1 pm on a Saturday is much better than doing so at 9:30 on a Tuesday night.9. What is the theme of this passage?A. Change your lifestyle so as not to bother your neighbors.B. How to be a good upstairs neighbor.C. Wearing slippers is important while in your upstairs apartment.D. Your neighbors require you to shut your windows when you make sound or noise.10. If you want to decrease the noise made in your apartment, you may _______A. buy elevated shelvesB. walk slowlyC. do the cleaning in the afternoonsD. move your furniture11. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 refer to _______?A. ragsB. ratsC. blanketsD. carpets12. Which of the following statements is true?A. When your windows are open, your neighbors like to hear your conversation.B. It’s unwise to invite several guests home, chatting at midnight.C. Finishing housework at 1 pm is better than 09:30 pm of Saturdays.D. Your neighbors don't hear you stomping around because you have removed your shoes.D篇A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life. Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-ratephoto-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.13. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last weekB. They showed undersea sceneriesC. They were found by a cameramanD. They recorded a disastrous adventure14. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank HurleyB. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon ScottD. Caroline Alexander15. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A. Artistic creationB. Scientific researchC. Money makingD. Treasure hunting七选五匹配（每道小题2分）Invaluable lessons you learn from volunteering We are not unfamiliar with volunteering. 16_______ However, that’s not to say you can’t take away a lesson or two along the way. These lessons could not only shed light on the principles of doing good, the community in need, but also on yourself. Everyone has a storyWhen volunteering for a community in need, you come to realize that every person has a story ----a story of who they are and how they came to be where they are. 17_______ Acknowledging everyone’s individual circumstances and stories makes fora more complete volunteer experience.18 _______Picking up trash, pulling weeds or donating clothes may not seem like much, butwith the right mindset, these actions can be seen to have far-reaching implications. Think of it like this: picking up trash and pulling weeds contribute to the beautification of a community, while donating clothes might mean keeping someone warm in winter.Gratitude19_______And helping those in need is a firm reminder of what really matters, like family. It’s not uncommon for volunteers to see their own lives in a different light, perhaps when they are taking notice of the small things or during the moments that bring them joy. Thus, volunteering can make you feel grateful for the things in life that really matter.Once a volunteer, always a volunteer20_______ The fulfillment that comes with helping another human being, and the satisfaction from knowing you’ve made a difference are just a few r easons why being a volunteer once is never enough.A.The simple things are always hard.B. Small changes have very big impacts.C. Volunteering is actually beneficial to all of us.D. Volunteering is an experience that stays with you forever.E. As volunteer s, We’d better respect, appreciate, and understand it.F. Volunteering is best known as an act done for the benefit of others.G. Volunteering brings with it a deep appreciation of all that you have in life. 完型填空（每道小题2分）If You’re Not Dead，You Can Get BetterRandy Kraus was paralyzed (瘫痪)．His left side was useless．But his right hand was 21 enough to lift a bucket to his forehead．Once，he’d been a police officer and owned a private-eye agency．Once，he’d been strong and able．Now，he felt he was nothing．His 22 started with Parkinson’s (帕金森) disease，but it didn’t 23 there．In July 2002，the 60-year-old Kraus went into the hospital for an operation to control the shaking． 24 ，during the operation，he had a stroke (中风)．He was paralyzed．The 25 man，who loved golf，could think，but couldn’t 26 ．Kraus wanted the doctors to 27 it to him straight．“You may never walk again，” they told him．“Maybe you won’t 28 be able to talk．”Once home，he 29 he couldn’t lift a fork or take a drink by himself．Physical treatment was so painful and slow．What did he have to 30 for?

ATravelling by car in Switzerland is very easy, as villages and towns are very well markedand accessible. All green road signs indicate a highway or autobahn, blue signs are secondary roads and white signs back roads.*LimitationThe speed limit is 120 km/h (74 mph) on the autobahn, 80 km/h (50 mph) on secondary roads outside of towns and 50 km/h (30 mph) in towns if not indicated differently. Roadside automatic radar-triggered cameras help enforce these limits. Police are empowered to collect fines on the spot. The minimum age of a driver is 18 years. Seat belts are compulsory for front and rear-seat passengers. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08 .*Getting throughFor travelers with motor-homes, it's good that even large motor-homes can travel throughthe mountain passes. The roads are well maintained and large enough even for trucks. Remember, Switzerland is a very small Country (ca. 250x400 km) and you can easily drive from one end to another in 3 - 5 hours if you stick to the highways. If you plan to travel to Switzerland by car, take your time, you can plan to see lots of places in a short amount of time. Plan to drive for diving's sake, and try to minimally constrain yourself with time-related issues.The mountain resort towns of Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt cannot be reached directly by private motor vehicle. Park at the railway or sky tram station and complete the journey via public transport. Trams always have priority. Buses have priority when leaving a bus stop. Traffic going up a mountain has priority. Some mountain roads require one-way traffic during certain hours only; these hours will be posted at either end of such roads.*FuelFuel stations along expressways are usually open from 6:00 a.m. to 10pm or midnight. Outside of open hours fuel is commonly available from automatic pumps that accept 10 and 20 SwF(瑞士法郎) notes or credit cards. Many stations accept major charge cards like Visa, MasterCard or American Express. Fuel price ranges from SFr. 1.75.- to 1.95.- depending on theoil price.21.What can you know from the text?A. The mountain roads are wide enough for motor-homes or trucks to go through.B. Travelers should try to save time to cover the places of interest in Switzerland.C. Travelers can ride motor-homes to visit Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt.D. In Switzerland people over 16 are permitted to drive.22.What might NOT be available for travelers to pay fuel in Switzerland?A. Swiss FrancsB. Ali-payC. MasterCardD. American Express23. What type of writing is this text?A. Geography posterB. An activity announcementC. Travel journalD. Travel guideBSince I was first in China in 2012, my life, and China itself, have developed and changed alot. My first China interaction was in 2012, when I came here with a friend. We traveled fromBeijing to Hong Kong, all in 5 weeks. We had a fantastic time meeting local people, exploringbeautiful places and eating delicious food. After this experience traveling across China andeating local food, I really wonde red “How did I live without eating dumplings and eggplant on aweekly basis?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 22 years!As my Chinese improved during my studies I became more independent and more awareof the possibilities of Waimai, or food home delivery. I suddenly noticed the thousands ofWaimai drivers zooming across the roads on their motorcycles. On deep, dark Beijing winterdays and rainy days, Waimai is like the holy grail and as I enjoyed my take - away dumplings Iwould think and laugh to myself, “How did I live before without being able to get Waimai?”　Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 23 years!In mid-2015, I was back in China again for my master's degree. That's when I came acrossmy first Mobike: “Oh, that’s a unique bike and surely it will get stolen soon ”, I thou passed on my own black bike. But one week passed and I saw it still there. Then the oneMobike sighting turned into two and three, and soon thousands and then seemingly overnightthe streets of Beijing were flooded with orange and yellow wheels. Again, I pondered on how Iever lived without my shared bike account. Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 25 years!China today is a country still steeped in ancient knowledge and custom, yet one that is alsobursting with new ideas and changes. Although some things will always stay the same,something else is constantly changing at a pace beyond comprehension. I’m sure as I continu my life here in Beijing I will be swept up in the next new convenience of life that Chinadevelopment is bringing out.24.According to the first paragraph, what impressed the author most might be ________.A.

Yet Apple said demand for its latest smartphone has so far been "off the charts."One of the most-talked about features of the iPhone X is the new front and back-facing cameras. Apple says its TrueDepth technology greatly improves performance for photographsand video. The camera is also trained to recognize faces and expressions. The company says this gives users power to open up the phone just by looking at it.The new Face ID recognition system replaces the Touch ID on other Apple devices that used a fingerprint to unlock the phone. It works by projecting more than 30,000 dots on the faceof users to create a kind of map. An infrared (红外线的) camera then reads these marks to create an image that can be confirmed as having the same appearance.Apple says the system is also designed to continually learn. Each time the face is used to unlock the phone, it is supposed to note any changes, such as facial hair or the person getting older. The system can then remember the changes to keep recognizing the person over time.Reviewers reported successful tests in which the phone recognized the face in different situations and unlocked the device. But most reviewers also said the feature did not work perfectly all the time.One fairly common failure was that the Face ID sometimes did not unlock the iPhone X ifthe user wore a certain kind of sunglasses. Not surprisingly, wearing any kind of disguise – even one covering just part of the face – caused Face ID to fail. It was found to work correctly when the user was wearing headphones or a hat.Apple has also admitted that Face ID could fail when used with young people who lookvery much alike. But Apple says its research shows there is only a one in a million chance of another person being able to unlock someone else's iPhone X with Face ID. The company has promised the system will become "the new gold standard" for all facial recognition.28. How can users unlock an iPhone X?A. By using a fingerprint.B. By taking a picture.C. By looking at the iPhone X .D. By recognizing user’s faces.29. From the text, we know the new Face ID recognition ________.A. will recognize users by reading the dots projected on their facesB. will recognize users by using the dots on their facesC. won’t recognize users when they get olderD. is no better than the Touch ID technology30. Users can’t unlock an iPhoneX if they wear ________.A. glassesB. masksC. hatsD. headphones31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Young people can’t use the Face ID successfully.B. The system has become “the new gold standard”．C. A million people are using the iPhone X.D. Apple thinks the Face ID system is very successful.Donly natural that When ordering food only takes a few minutes using a smartphone, it’sfood deliveries have become part of college life.

Her empathy and ability to reach the heart could make anyone laugh, even when the story itself did not apply to them at all. “Mom, have you ever thought about being a stan d-up comedian?” “It is too late for me, son,” she responded, laughing at the idea. I could not bear to watch her struggle between ambition and doubt.Her birthday was coming up. Although I had already bought her a present, I knew what I actually wanted to give her. I placed little notes of encouragement inside the present. I asked my family and her friends to do the same. Eventually I had collected 146 notes, and each with the same sentiment: “You are humorous, full of life, and ready to take on the stage.”On the day of her birthday, my mom unwrapped my present. She was not surprised as she had hinted at it for long. But then she saw those little notes. She started to weep with her hands full of notes. She could not believe the support was real.Within two months, my mom gave her first performance in a New York comedy club. I have read the notes countless times with my mom. They are framed and line the walls of her new office space that she rented with the profits she made from working as a professional comedian. For many parents, their children’s careers are their greatest accomplishment, but for me my mom’s is mine. 4. What was the attitude of the author’s mother to working women?A．She was curious about their income. B．She admired what work brought them.C．She felt indifferent to working women. D．She appreciated their ambitions infinance.5. According to the author, what makes his mother a good comedian?A．Her effort in making friends. B．Her talent to bring people joy.C．Her curiosity about working women. D．Her desire for financial independence. 6. How did his mother feel when reading the notes on her birthday?A．Amazed and hesitant.

D．Becoming a successful comedian.Some words imitate the sounds made by the things they describe, like “buzz” or “hiss”, which is called onomatopoeia (拟声词). But what if the way a word sounds could arouse some other feature of an object, like its shape?Marcus Perlman, a lecturer at the University of Birmingham, says that a century ago, linguists (语言学家) insisted that the words of objects don’t necessarily sound like the very things. There’s nothing doggy-sounding about the word dog or catlike-sounding about the word cat. But there’s plenty of evidence now proving it false. To further explore this connection, Perlman and his colleagues turned to something called the bouba/kiki effect.What it is about is that when you see two shapes-one looks like a cloud, kind of roundish, and the other one is more spiky (尖形的), like a star-and when you’re asked to say which one is bouba, you will be more likely to point to a rounded one and, for kiki, to a spiky one. One explanation for the effect could be the appearance of the letters. The round shape of b-o-u-b-a might arouse the sense of roundness. But what happens when you don’t see the words but hear them?In a following test, participants were told to look at the two shapes and then listen to the sound: either bouba or kiki. Whatever their native language is, most participants said the rounder shape was bouba and the spiky one was kiki. This suggests that the effect seems to be driven by some correspondence (对应关系) between the spoken words and the shapes, which might bring us closer to how the first words came.8. What may Marcus Parlman believe about the words of objects?A．Words sounding like objects don’t exist.B．Words don’t have to so und like objects.C．Words of objects are difficult to understand. D．Words pronunciation is connected to objects.9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The distinction between various shapes. B．The explanation of the bouba/kiki effect.C．The comparison between bouba and kiki. D．The introduction to the bouba/kiki effect.10. Which shape may the participants choose after hearing the “bauba” sound?A．A star. B．A circle. C．A pyramid. D．A diamond. 11. What is suggested in the text?A．Different languages may have the same origins.B．The word bouba or kiki can be found in languages.C．The effect may help understand the origin of language.D．The secret of language formation has been discovered.We all sometimes behave in ways that seem to conflict with our goals and intentions. One person might wish to spend more time with family but instead find themselves mindlessly browsing social media. Another may repeatedly ignore their alarm and miss their morning workout. If we only had more willpower, the conventional wisdom goes, we could eat healthier, exercise regularly, and spend more time with loved ones. However, in Determined: A Science of Life without Free Will, scientist Robert Sapolsky argues that such choices are actually determined by factors beyond our control.Sapolsky demonstrates in his book how various factors influence our intentions and actions. He describes scientific evidence that those influences may occur minutes, hours, or days before our actions; some may even begin years earlier. For example, people raised in a collectivist culture tend to avoid obstacles (障碍) when walking whereas those raised in independent cultures will remove the obstacles.In particular, Sapolsky argues against the claim that “luck” evens (均等) out over time, with fortune and misfortune striking most people in equal measure, an idea favored by others. Instead, he provides convincing examples that many who are born “unlucky” have little chance of getting ahead.Although Sapolsky is careful not to confuse determinism with the inability to affect change in the world, his unclear attitude toward how determinism might coexist with free will is one of the book’s weak points. Nonetheless, this book is worth reading. Better yet, pair it with Kevin Mitchell’s book Free Agents: How Evolution Gave Us Free Will, which makes the opposite argument, and then, decide for yourself whether you had a choice to do so or it was all predetermined.12. How is the topic introduced in the first paragraph?A．By giving examples. B．By listing statistics.C．By raising arguments. D．By drawing conclusions.13. According to Sapolsky, what determine(s) our choices and actions?A．Level of willpower. B．Random luck.C．Uncontrollable elements. D．Conventional wisdom.14. What does the underlined word “collectivist” mean?A．Low-esteemed. B．Determined. C．Self-centered. D．Cooperative.15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage?A．Exploration on Free Will B．Wisdom in Decision MakingC．Views on Determinism and Free Will D．Conflicts between Goals and Choices Shopping in the sales feels like a subtle way to spend. Lower prices naturally equal money saved. 16 Sometimes you think you’re getting a bargain, but actually you’re paying more than you need to. So, follow the tips below an d you’ll hopefully be on the right track.Only buy essentials. You might have been tempted to buy a much higher item than you actually need, simply because we’re dazzled by the size of the discount. So despite the savings made on the full price item, it’s actually a huge waste of cash. 17 You can even have a “need” note which you add to regularly, allowing you to focus your shopping during the sales.18 Just because there’s a sale running with a lower price, doesn’t mean you can scramble for the goods immediately. If you can wait, some price history websites are a great way to get a sense of any regularly occurring price variations. Certain items will have a life cycle too. Christmas cards anddecorations are bargains in January while TVs tend to be at their lowest prices in the early summer when the newer models are released. 19 So this is only a strategy for non-essentials.Check for alternatives. Finally, even if you think you’ve got the best price out there-or at least one you’re happy to pay-it’s worth checking you’re not overpaying still when compared to similar products. 20 . That could mean staying away from high-end brands, looking for secondhand items or trying a different but similar style.My grandmother suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. Seeing her condition worsen over time, and knowing I could do nothing, created a feeling of ________ in me.As the years passed and my understanding of the disease grew, my frustration turned first to anger, then resignation (顺从), and finally ________.

AQuestioning the existence of aliens is something that scientists have done for decades. In fact, most people do believe that aliens exist in some fashion. The main necessities for life are water and some form of energy source. Not surprisingly, there are some planets, exoplanets and moons that fit the bill. Here are several best chances at finding life in the universe.◆TRAPPIST-1TRAPPIST-1 is a planetary system a few dozen light-years away, whose discovery was announced in early 2017. This system consists of seven Earth-like exoplanets orbiting an "ultra-cool" star, and it is one of our shots at finding possible life beyond our own solar system.◆TitanTitan is the largest moon of Saturn, the sixth planet from our Sun. This moon could potentially harbor life but possibly not in the sense that we think. Titan does not exactly fit the description of being in a typical habitable zone.Titan has water, and it has liquid. It just doesn't have liquid water. The water on this moon is completely solid because of the extremely cold temperature.◆EuropaEuropa is one of Jupiter's moons here in our own solar system. It is another candidate due to its potential to hold liquid water. Europa is thought to have all the necessities for life including water, energy sources, and the right chemical build-up.◆MarsThe Red Planet, the fourth from the Sun, is probably one of the most talked-about potential candidates for extraterrestrial(地球外的) life and even for human colonization. Despite some different voices, finding extraterrestrial life on Mars really is a serious possibility.We know by now that we won't find little green men or any intelligent form of life that we understand. However, there is evidence that there was and may still be microscopic life on the small red planet.1. The common point of these celestial bodies is that _______.A. solid water exists on them respectivelyB. life might exist on each of themC. they all contain liquid waterD. each of them has living things on it2. Which celestial body could have life different from human imagination?A. TRAPPIST-1.B. Titan.C. Europa.D. Mars.3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Europa is the most talked-about potential candidate for extraterrestrial life.B. TRAPPIST-1 is the only body that contains life beyond the solar system.C. All the scientists do believe that aliens exist in some manner.D. There is proof that life existed on the celestial body Mars.BAbout a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.4. Why did Lori make the call?A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.5. What impressed “I” by Lori?A. Lori was good at running recruiting.B. Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.6. What can we infer from the passage?A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.7. What is the best title of the passage?A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem.C. Applying for a Job in Facebook.D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.CCareers in zoology are extremely varied and unique, and can provide incredible learning and work opportunities for anyone devoted to animal studies and welfare. Zoology, or the study of animals, is a wide field with many specialties, including research, conservation, veterinary (兽医的) medicine, and the care of animals. For people with a love of animals and some training, dreams of careers in zoology may come true.Some careers in zoology focus on research and scientific studies. These careers may allow those with a good theoretical science background to develop and run studies that improve human understanding of the animal world. Research in zoology can help create safer and more effective products for animals or can teach humans more about animal behavior in order to aid in conservation, breeding programs, and habitat preservation.Careers in zoology that focus on conservation attach great importance to the continued survival and increased protection of animal species. Conservationists may work with political groups or governments to help make laws to protect and preserve animals, or may work in the field gathering information on potential threats to the health of global ecosystems. Some conservationists work in educational fields, trying to improve human efforts to save animals from extinction.Animals are subject to illness and injury, and some careers in zoology help to create a safe, stable animal population. Veterinary medicine is an important specialty field, and may take several years of intensive training to qualify as a certified veterinarian. While many veterinarians focus on the small-animal practice of domestic pets, vets in rural areas often work with large farm animals and more adventurous veterinarians may work with exotic species in zoos and wildlife preserves. .Humans love to observe animals, and modern-day zoos and wildlife preserves help meet that interest while providing facilities to assist with conservation programs. Zoology careers in zoos can range from overseeing breeding programs, to creating the proper diet for a deer, to clean ing the tiger’s cage. Many volunteer and entry-level jobs are available for people that love animals.8. What is the purpose of researching on animals in zoology?A. To help governments make laws.B. To improve researchers’ scientific knowledge.C. To create safe and effective products for humans.D. To educate people to protect animals.9. What can careers in zoology that focus on veterinary medicine help?A. Better understand animals.B. Protect animals’ health.C. Clean the animals’ cages.D. Increase the number of animals.10. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole passage?(P1=paragraph 1; P2= paragraph 2; P3= paragraph 3; P4= paragraph 1; P5= paragraph 5;)11. What does the passage mainly present?A. Volunteers’ passion for zoology.B. A new idea of careers in zoology.C. Different types of careers in zoology.D. Effective measures of animal protection.DNEW YORK－A massive winter storm paralyzed much of the US East Coast on Thursday and Friday, dumping as much as 46 centimeters of snow from the Carolinas to Maine.

广东省惠州市2018届高三第三次调研考试英语2018.01第I卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ATips for waiting in lineWhen lining up at the supermarket checkout counter, the lines next to us always seem to be moving faster than the one that we are standing in.Now the New York Times has put together the research of scientists to give you some insights into the math and psychology of queuing. It also offered tips on picking the fastest line no matter if you’re lining up in a supermarket, a bank or any where else.Picking someone with a full chartUS mathematician Dan Meyer believes that a chart(购物车) full of items doesn’t tell the whole story. “Every person requires a fixed amount of time to say hello, pay, say goodbye and clear out of the lane,” he sai d. And that amount of time is an average of 41 seconds per person.On the other hand, the time that each item takes to be rung up is only three seconds. That means if there are five people ahead of you, each with ten items in their charts, the waiting time will be 355 seconds. But if there is only one person ahead of you ,with 50 items in the chart, the waiting time is 191 seconds. You do the math.Study the customerHow many people are ahead of you is one thing, and who they are is another. For example, if they are old people – and this is not ageist(年龄歧视的)– they tend to move slower and delay the checkout process.The items in their chart are also important. For example, four bottles of the same milk will definitely go faster than four completely different items.Choose a “serpentine line”In some places, there may be just one line leading to several checkout counters. The person at the head of the line goes to the next available counter. This is known as a “serpentine(蛇形的) line”. You should always choose a serpentine line because even if one of the cashiers or customers is slow, it won’t hold up an entire line.Go leftAccording to Robert Samuel, a US science writer, around 90 percent of people are right-handed, which means they tend to go to the right. So heading to the opposite direction – left –will give you a better chance of finding a faster line.21.If there are 6 people before you, and they buy 72 items altogether, then you have to waitabout ________seconds.A. 462B. 318C. 246D. 21622. What we needn’t consider before deciding which line to stand in?A. The number of people before you.B. The quantity of the goods to check out before you.C. What kind of people before you.D. How many left-handed people before you.A. most people are used to choosing checkout counters on their rightB. we should always avoid lining up behind a crowded cartC. 7 cups of the same kind need as much time as 7 different ones to be checked outD. the cashiers and customers in a “serpentine line” are slowB"Selfie," taking a picture of yourself to post on social media, became an official word in the Oxford dictionary in 2018. The idea seems simple, just pose and snap a photo of yourself with your cell phone camera. How difficult could that be?But in 2018 a reported 15 people died while taking selfies. That number has risen each year since then. Thirty-nine deaths connected to selfies were reported in 2018. And, this year has seen more than 70 such deaths.Researchers from universities in the U.S. and India have released findings from the first study of deaths due to selfies. The investigators examined the causes and characteristics o f the deaths.The researchers found that people who take selfies for sharing on social media often have a narcissistic tendency. The report says these people "use selfies as a form of self-identification and expression." They may take selfies in more dangerous settings because they seek greater attention.These dangerous situations can lead to injury, and even death. The researchers define a selfie death as "death of an individual or a group of people that could have been avoided had the individual(s) not been taking a selfie."One example of a dangerous selfie in the study involved bicycle races. People sometimes get on the track to take a picture of themselves with the racing bicycles behind them. Crashes and injuries have resulted. Another example described people standing on train tracks trying to get a selfie as a train moves toward them from behind. The most common cause of selfie death was falling from high places. It caused 32 of the 172 deaths during the last two and one-half years. Drowning was another common cause of death.And it might be more dangerous to be a man with a smartphone. Although women take more selfies, males were far more likely to die during selfies. 75.5% of the reported deaths were of men. About one-third of the 172 reported selfie deaths had a single death while24incidents involved the deaths of groups. Two of the incidents killed seven people each.24. What’s the passage mainly about?A. selfie deaths on the riseB. the danger of taking selfiesC. what a selfie death isD. the causes of selfie deaths25. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?A. A physical state.B. A psychological state .C. A difficulty.D.A camera.26. Which of the following is an example of selfie deaths?A.

An old lady died from heart attack when taking a selfie.A. selfie deaths are always single deathsB. women are more likely to die during selfiesC. it is dangerous to participate in bicycle racesD.selfie deaths happened in various waysCI worked lots of extra hours my first Christmas season as a saleslady for Dancer’s, the department store in my small hometown. I’d started the job, which paid 85 cents an hour, that summer of 1966 after getting a work permit at age 15. I soon learned how to fit shoes, measure and cut cloth, and keep the shelves of shirts and underwear nice and neat.We closed at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve, and at 5:55 a local farmer came in to find gifts for his wife. I knew Mr. Johnson, whose daughter was in my class, so I went to help him. We wandered through the sweaters, dresses and skirts, and nightgowns（睡衣）. We talked about size and color and what I thought Mrs. Johnson would like. After nearly an hour, Mr. Johnson decided on a nightgown with pretty pink slippers to match.By my third Christmas at Dancer’s, I was an experienced salesclerk. Mrs. Johnson had come into the store in late summer, and we visited while I helped her shop. As she commented on pretty colors and design, I made mental notes. When Mr. Johnson made his last-minute appearance on Christmas Eve, I was ready. I told him, “Mrs. Johnson was in not too long ago, and I noticed how much she liked this royal blue sweater. She’d also told me that she really needed new boots. I’d found some perfect boots in her size and had put them aside for Christmas Eve. ” Mr. Johnson was impressed, and I think more than a little relieved. We completed the sale by 6:10 with everything wrapped in paper and ribbons!I worked for Dancer’s three more holiday seasons and was always there just before closing on Christmas Eve, when Mr. Johnson knew I had the answers he needed. Years later, I can well remember he once told me that the big stores in cities had more goods and lovely Christmas fantasies in their window but it’s only in a small town that neighbors take care of neighbors.28. What do we know about the author’s job in Dancer’s ?A. She enjoyed her work in Dancer’s .B. She worked long hours to get a good pay.C. It took her a long time to know what she should do.D. She could also help some customer make decisions.29.What did the author do before Mr. Johnson’s appearance on her third Christmas inDancer’s?A. She talked with his daughter.B. She kept his wife’s need and taste in mind.C. She kept an eye on his wife for quite a long time.D. She looked into the sales record of the store.30. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author worked for Dancer’s for 5 years in all.B. Mr. Johnson doubted whether the author could help him.C. Mr. Johnson valued the sincere relationship in his neighborhood.D. Mr. Johnson didn’t believe the big stores in cities had what he wanted.31. What may be the best title for the text?A. My Working Experience in Dancer’sB. Mr. Johnson’s Christmas giftC. Last-minute Appearance on Christmas EveD. Christmas Gifts with neighbors’ considerationDA new ‘paparazzi-proof’ scarf has got heatedly wel comed since lanched. A new ‘paparazzi-proof’ scarf could be a game-changer for celebrities（名流） who prefer to shy away from the stage light. The ISHU scarf is the creation of Dutch-born fashion entrepreneur Saif Siddiqui and is designed to ‘give people their right to privacy back’. A host of celebrities including Cameron Diaz, singer Joe Jonas, Bayern Munich footballer Jerome Boateng and music producer Major Lazer have worn the ISHU after it was spotted at London Fashion Week last year.It works by reflect ing the light back into a camera, effectively becoming ‘invisibility clothes’ for celebrities who don’t want their photo taken.Anyone wearing the scarf is protected from mobile flash photography, with the fashion accessory’s fabric effectively blocking out any unwanted pictures, although it doesn’t stop no-flash photographs from being taken.The 28-year-old Siddiqui was inspired while visiting family in Amsterdam in 2018 when his friends attempted to take a photo of him using an iPhone in front of some bi kes.“He noticed that the bike’s reflector carried the flash of his mobile camera in a way that confused the faces of his friends in the picture,” the ISHU website explains. “He immediately realized that if developed into the right product, this feature would be an ideal solution for his friends and is now available to the public who want to keep their private moments in public private. “Saif put together a team of experts who dug into the science of light and reflection, and how to blend technology with fas hion.”He told Decoded Magazine: “The ISHU scarf effectively allows an individual to control what pictures and videos are taken of him. “There are no more unwanted pictures and videos on Snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook! Everyone carries a phone with them nowadays that has an amazing camera. So, it all made sense to me.” More ISHU products are set to launch in August, with mobile phone cases set to launch in the next few weeks. The ISHU is currently sold out but you can pre-order it online for ￡289.32. Why did Saif design the ‘paparazzi-proof’ scarf?A. To help protect people’s privacy.B. To make a rich profit from the celebrities.C. Because the scarf is to get a heated welcome.D. To dig into the science of light and reflection.33. How did Saif get the creative idea of producing scarves?A. He was inspired by the photographs of bike.B. He was inspired when his friends attempted to take a photo of him.C. He was inspired when finding his friends’ picture was not ideal.D. He was inspired while cycling with his family members.34. Which of the following statement might be true?A. The paparazzi-proof scarf can prevent any unwanted pictures being taken.B. There might be fewer unwanted pictures and videos on internet.C. ISHU will be only used to effectively control pictures taken.D. Customers will mainly buy ISHU products online.35.Who might most need the ‘paparazzi-proof’ scarf?A. reporterB. fans.C. photographersD. singers第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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。

AQuestioning the existence of aliens is something that scientists have done for decades. In fact, most people do believe that aliens exist in some fashion. The main necessities for life are water and some form of energy source. Not surprisingly, there are some planets, exoplanets and moons that fit the bill. Here are several best chances at finding life in the universe.◆TRAPPIST-1TRAPPIST-1 is a planetary system a few dozen light-years away, whose discovery was announced in early 2017. This system consists of seven Earth-like exoplanets orbiting an "ultra-cool" star, and it is one of our shots at finding possible life beyond our own solar system.◆TitanTitan is the largest moon of Saturn, the sixth planet from our Sun. This moon could potentially harbor life but possibly not in the sense that we think. Titan does not exactly fit the description of being in a typical habitable zone.Titan has water, and it has liquid. It just doesn't have liquid water. The water on this moon is completely solid because of the extremely cold temperature.◆EuropaEuropa is one of Jupiter's moons here in our own solar system. It is another candidate due to its potential to hold liquid water. Europa is thought to have all the necessities for life including water, energy sources, and the right chemical build-up.◆MarsThe Red Planet, the fourth from the Sun, is probably one of the most talked-about potential candidates for extraterrestrial(地球外的) life and even for human colonization. Despite some different voices, finding extraterrestrial life on Mars really is a serious possibility.We know by now that we won't find little green men or any intelligent form of life that we understand. However, there is evidence that there was and may still be microscopic life on the small red planet.1. The common point of these celestial bodies is that _______.A. solid water exists on them respectivelyB. life might exist on each of themC. they all contain liquid waterD. each of them has living things on it2. Which celestial body could have life different from human imagination?A. TRAPPIST-1.B. Titan.C. Europa.D. Mars.3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Europa is the most talked-about potential candidate for extraterrestrial life.B. TRAPPIST-1 is the only body that contains life beyond the solar system.C. All the scientists do believe that aliens exist in some manner.D. There is proof that life existed on the celestial body Mars.BAbout a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.4. Why did Lori make the call?A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.5. What impressed “I” by Lori?A. Lori was good at running recruiting.B. Lori at tached great importance to Facebook’s needs.C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.6. What can we infer from the passage?A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.7. What is the best title of the passage?A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem.C. Applying for a Job in Facebook.D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.CCareers in zoology are extremely varied and unique, and can provide incredible learning and work opportunities for anyone devoted to animal studies and welfare. Zoology, or the study of animals, is a wide field with many specialties, including research, conservation, veterinary (兽医的) medicine, and the care of animals. For people with a love of animals and some training, dreams of careers in zoology may come true.Some careers in zoology focus on research and scientific studies. These careers may allow those with a good theoretical science background to develop and run studies that improve human understanding of the animal world. Research in zoology can help create safer and more effective products for animals or can teach humans more about animal behavior in order to aid in conservation, breeding programs, and habitat preservation.Careers in zoology that focus on conservation attach great importance to the continued survival and increased protection of animal species. Conservationists may work with political groups or governments to help make laws to protect and preserveanimals, or may work in the field gathering information on potential threats to the health of global ecosystems. Some conservationists work in educational fields, trying to improve human efforts to save animals from extinction.Animals are subject to illness and injury, and some careers in zoology help to create a safe, stable animal population. Veterinary medicine is an important specialty field, and may take several years of intensive training to qualify as a certified veterinarian. While many veterinarians focus on the small-animal practice of domestic pets, vets in rural areas often work with large farm animals and more adventurous veterinarians may work with exotic species in zoos and wildlife preserves. .Humans love to observe animals, and modern-day zoos and wildlife preserves help meet that interest while providing facilities to assist with conservation programs. Zoology careers in zoos can range from overseeing breeding programs, to creating the proper diet for a deer, to cleaning the tiger’s cage. Many volunteer and entry-level jobs are available for people that love animals.8. What is the purpose of researching on animals in zoology?A. To help governments make laws.B. To improve researchers’ scientific knowledge.C. To create safe and effective products for humans.D. To educate people to protect animals.9. What can careers in zoology that focus on veterinary medicine help?A. Better understand animals.B. P rotect animals’ health.C. C lean the animals’ cages.D. Increase the number of animals.10. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole passage?(P1=paragraph 1; P2= paragraph 2; P3= paragraph 3; P4= paragraph 1; P5= paragraph 5)11. What does the passage mainly present?A. Volunteers’ passion for zoology.B. A new idea of careers in zoology.C. Different types of careers in zoology.D. Effective measures of animal protection.DNEW YORK－A massive winter storm paralyzed much of the US East Coast on Thursday and Friday, dumping as much as 46 centimeters of snow from the Carolinas to Maine.

Jonathan Bauer, and his13-year-old daughter, Ava, were driving with the windows down as they headed home on the bridge. Suddenly, the calm was disturbed by the squeal of tires.Not far ahead of them, a pickup(皮卡车) was drifting from one lane to the other. It slammed into a concrete barrier, flipped over the car directly ahead of them, and came to rest hanging over the railing of the bridge. Bauer hit the brakes in time, but another car came sliding backward toward him and struck his car’s fender(挡泥板). Bauer stopped his car. “Ava, are you OK?” he asked. She was shaken, but otherwise unhurt.And then a scream came from the pickup above the waters of the bay. The driver dashed to the railing. Bauer ran up beside him. The man pointed down, saying something in Spanish. There was a car seat in the water. Struggling next to it was a girl, about two years old, terrified, floating on her back and crying.Matters quickly went worse when the girl rolled over onto her stomach. “Ava! Stay by the car!” Bauer yelled, drooping to remove his shoes. Would he get hurt? Could he reach the girl in time? No time to wonder. All he had in mind was the faith that she must be saved immediately.A moment later he was bouncing off the sandy bottom-unhurt! Bauer swam to the girl and lifted her out of the water: mouth half open, eyes nearly closed, not breathing. Standing, he laid her against his shoulder and hit at her back with the flat of his hand. Water came streaming from her mouth and slowly her eyes were opened. He pulled her close, hugging her to shelter her from the cold.A boat pulled up and hauled them aboard. Ava Bauer was so inspired by her father’s actions that four months later she became a firefighter so that she, too, could save lives. “That girl is going to live a whole life because of him,” she says. “It’s incredible.”4．What can we learn about Bauer and his daughter from the first two paragraphs? A．They had a great time along the Maryland coast.B．They crashed their car into others’ on the bridge.C．They suffered a severe hit and hung over the railing.D．They witnessed a terrible accident on the way home.5．Why did Bauer run forward next to the pickup driver?A．He saw a girl struggling in the water.B．He was asked to help the pickup driver.C．He was caught by the cry from the pickup.D．He was concerned about the falling of the pickup.6．Which words can best describe Bauer?A．Warm-hearted and modest.B．Strong-willed and optimistic.C．Determined and considerate.D．Good-tempered and intelligent.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．A Leap of FaithB．An Unexpected CrashC．A Moment of InspirationD．A Well-organized RescueMorogoro, Tanzia, British research scientist, Dr. Donna Kean is training 170 rats to be sent into earthquake ruins to do vital work in finding earthquake survivors. The project has trained about seven rats to date, taking around two weeks to get the rescue rats up to speed. These rescue rats are sent into mock(模拟的)earthquake ruins with tiny backpacks that contain microphones, video gears, and location trackers. These tools will allow the rescue teams to communicate with earthquake survivors in real-time.“I train these clever creatures to save victims trapped in collapsed buildings after earthquakes. We kit them out with a rat backpack, and train them to activate a switch when they find a victim and come back for a tasty treat. ” posted Dr Donna Kean on Twitter on May 26, 2022.Dr. Kean expressed how the rescue rats are ideal for this type of work saying, “Ratswould be able to get into small spaces to get victims buried in rubble. ” The highly swift rats never set off landmines and their natural swiftness makes them ideal for use inhard-to-navigate disaster zones. Their suitability for this work goes further, with rats being good at surviving in different environments and living off of anything. The rescue rats are even being trained to respond to beeps that call them back to their base.Dr. Kean＇s team collaborates(合作) with the non-profit organization APOLO for their “Hero Rats” project. These “Hero Rats” are set to start working with a search and rescue team in Turkey, joining earthquake rescue efforts in the high-risk area. The group of 170 rats is being trained for additional projects involving landmines, tuberculosis (肺结核), and even sniffing out Brucellosis, an infectious disease that impacts farm animals. Dr. Kean feels hopeful about her project’s promising results and is excited to be the only organization in this space working with this species.8．Why are the rescue rats equipped with backpacks?A．To monitor the rats.B．To locate the survivors.C．To record the rescue process.D．To keep track of the survivors.9．According to the passage, what can a trained rescue rat do?A．Set off landmines accurately.B．Dig out those buried in rubble.C．Figure out the signal from beeps.D．Complete the task without a reward.10．What make(s) rats outweigh other animals in this project?A．Their efforts in training.B．Their nature of rescuing.C．Their eagerness for survivals.D．Their adaptability to environments.11．What can be inferred about the “Hero Rats“ project?A．The results fail to prove the potential.B．The rats have to be trained repeatedly.C．The project probably pioneers in the space.D．The rats have been widely used in various fields.When the Titanic sank, approximately 1, 509 of its 2214 passengers passed away. A majority of them died because the ship carried lifeboats for only half of the people on board. By all accounts, most died either by drowning or of hypothermia, since the temperature of the water was -2° C (28° F), in which death occurs in about fifteen minutes. The survival rate for men was 19%, for women 72%, and for children, 50%. Most survivors were first class passengers, followed by second class, and finally third class. Six of the seven children in first class survived, and all of the children in second class survived, but only about 31 percent were saved in third class.In short, the available evidence from the Titanic disaster suggests that we often care for others, even at some cost to ourselves. But why? Do we in fact psychologically tend to be altruistical? Or are we blank slates (白板) on which culture and education draws our character, for better or worse? The survival rates of women and children appear to support the former explanation; but the culturally prejudiced explanations of those facts appear to support the latter. Is there a way to judge between them?The blank slate theory of human nature is related to the seventeenth-century English philosopher, John Locke. He argued that the mind should be considered as a blank sheet of paper until it is furnished by experience, which varies from person to person. Locke’s theory was a particularly effective way to weaken the influence of the church and of king’s right to rule, both of which were held to be self-evidently true.The belief of the blank slate has proved to be greatly influential, extending far beyond the field of political theory. The social sciences generally have tried to explain human behavior as a product of the socialization of children by culture and education.12．Which group has the highest survival rate in the Titanic accident?A．Men in second class.B．Men in third class.C．Children in first class.D．Children in second class.13．What does the underlined word “altruistical” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Benefiting others.B．Hurting oneself.C．Receiving education.D．Making explanations.14．Why does the author mention the survival rate?A．To make a survey.B．To describe a scene.C．To provide evidence.D．To summarize the event.15．Which of the following would John Locke probably agree with?A．Culture and education shape our character.B．Adult minds are like a blank sheet of paper.C．Humans are born kind and willing to sacrifice.D．A powerful government will change the culture.二、七选五Being “outdoorsy” can stir up images of big beautiful national parks, snowy slopes or thick forests. ___16___. They don’t require the time, money or physical mobility of a big trip.

广东省惠州市惠城区2018届高三英语9月月考试题阅读理解（每道小题2分）A篇Indian media claimed Chinese military has entered into our Bhutanese territory, following a standoff with Indian soldiers deployed in the border.The standoff was at Doklam (or Donglang) which India say is within Bhutan while China says it’s inside Chinese territory. Bhutan has not made any statements.China said, its soldiers were constructing road when Indian Army solders approached to dispute the construction.About 89 square kilometre areas in Doklam Plateau, which overlooks the strategically important Chumbi Valley in the intersection of India-China-Bhutan. The area had been in dispute between Bhutan and China for a long time. India, in this instance, is making attempts to be party in the conflict.The statement issued by Colonel Ren Guoqiang, spokesperson for Indian Ministry of National Defence and Chinese Government, however, did not have any reference to the Bhutan-China dispute over Doklam Plateau.New Delhi fear the road China building in Doklam Plateau would give it a strategic advantage against India in a possible military conflict in future. The plateau overlooks the Chumbi Valley, which is not far from “Siliguri Corridor” –the narrow stretch of land that connects India’s seven north-eastern States with the rest of the country.Beijing in the past indicated to Thimphu that it was ready to give up much of its territorial claims in northern Bhutan if the latter accepts Doklam Plateau as a territory of China. China claims about 764 square kilometres of areas in Bhutan.New Delhi restricts Thimphu having diplomatic relations Beijing while it holds military outposts in strategic positions in northern Bhutan.1: This report was probably published in ______A. BhutanB. ChinaC. IndiaD. UN2. The underlined word in Para 3 refers to ______A. decideB. deleteC. determineD. argue3. Accord to the passage, the author meant to state that ______A. Doklam belongs to China.B. India is getting Bhutan to announce a dispute in the conflict of Doklam.C. India restricts Bhutan having diplomatic relations with China.D.

Doklam is very important for the security of the north-eastern India.B篇Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American clergyman, activist, and prominent leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He is best known for being an iconic figure in the advancement of civil rights in the United States and around the world, using nonviolent methods following the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. King has become a national icon in the history of modern American liberalism.A Baptist minister, King became a civil rights activist early in his career. He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, serving as its first president. King's efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he expanded American values to include the vision of a color blind society, and established his reputation as one of the greatest orators in American history.In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other nonviolent means. By the time of his death in 1968, he had refocused his efforts on ending poverty and stopping the Vietnam War.King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. federal holiday in 1986.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A.

Martin Luther King succeeded in ending poverty and the Vietnam War.D. King Jr. was tired of racial discrimination, thus struggling.8. The underlined word in the last paragraph 4 could be replaced by ______.A. after deathB. humorouslyC. highlyD. seriouslyC篇One must remember to be courteous when living in an apartment building. You may unintentionally bother your neighbors with actions that you perceive to be harmless. This is especially true for those individuals who live above an apartment. Living upstairs, you must always be aware that everything you do may be heard by those wholive below. This doesn't mean that you have to drastically change your lifestyle, though.Wear slippers while in your upstairs apartment. This will lessen the impact of your footsteps, thus limiting the sound your downstairs neighbor will hear. You should always remember to remove your shoes when entering your apartment to ensure that your downstairs neighbor doesn't hear you stomping around.Place rugs in your apartment if you have hardwood floors. Doing so is another way to decrease the sounds of steps coming from an upstairs apartment. You can also put your furniture on these rugs. This keeps your furniture from moving around, thus limiting noise a downstairs neighbor may hear.Buy elevated shelves for your TVs and stereos. Lifting these items off the ground will keep both the sound and vibration from traveling to your floor/your downstairs neighbor's ceiling. You can also place items in the shelving underneath your TV/stereo, such as books, DVDs and CDs.Close your windows when you can. When your windows are open, your downstairs neighbor is even more likely to hear your conversations as well as whatever you're watching on TV or listening to on a radio.Limit late-night guests during the week. Having half a dozen people walking around your apartment at 11 pm on a Monday night will be very irritating to your downstairs neighbor who has to work the next morning.Do your cleaning and other such errands on weekend afternoons. There will undoubtedly come a time when you will wish to run a vacuum cleaner or move stuff around your place. Performing these chores at 1 pm on a Saturday is much better than doing so at 9:30 on a Tuesday night.9. What is the theme of this passage?A. Change your lifestyle so as not to bother your neighbors.B. How to be a good upstairs neighbor.C. Wearing slippers is important while in your upstairs apartment.D. Your neighbors require you to shut your windows when you make sound or noise.10. If you want to decrease the noise made in your apartment, you may _______A. buy elevated shelvesB. walk slowlyC. do the cleaning in the afternoonsD. move your furniture11. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 refer to _______?A. ragsB. ratsC. blanketsD. carpets12. Which of the following statements is true?A. When your windows are open, your neighbors like to hear your conversation.B. It’s unwise to invite several guests home, chatting at midnight.C. Finishing housework at 1 pm is better than 09:30 pm of Saturdays.D. Your neighbors don't hear you stomping around because you have removed your shoes.D篇A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life. Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-ratephoto-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Wedd ell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.13. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last weekB. They showed undersea sceneriesC. They were found by a cameramanD. They recorded a disastrous adventure14. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank HurleyB. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon ScottD. Caroline Alexander15. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A. Artistic creationB. Scientific researchC. Money makingD.

ATravelling by car in Switzerland is very easy, as villages and towns are very well marked and accessible. All green road signs indicate a highway or autobahn, blue signs are secondary roads and white signs back roads.*LimitationThe speed limit is 120 km/h (74 mph) on the autobahn, 80 km/h (50 mph) on secondary roads outside of towns and 50 km/h (30 mph) in towns if not indicated differently. Roadside automatic radar-triggered cameras help enforce these limits. Police are empowered to collect fines on the spot. The minimum age of a driver is 18 years. Seat belts are compulsory for front and rear-seat passengers. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08 .*Getting throughFor travelers with motor-homes, it's good that even large motor-homes can travel through the mountain passes. The roads are well maintained and large enough even for trucks. Remember, Switzerland is a very small Country (ca. 250x400 km) and you can easily drive from one end to another in 3 - 5 hours if you stick to the highways. If you plan to travel to Switzerland by car, take your time, you can plan to see lots of places in a short amount of time. Plan to drive for diving's sake, and try to minimally constrain yourself with time-related issues.The mountain resort towns of Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt cannot be reached directly by private motor vehicle. Park at the railway or sky tram station and complete the journey via public transport. Trams always have priority. Buses have priority when leaving a bus stop. Traffic going up a mountain has priority. Some mountain roads require one-way traffic during certain hours only; these hours will be posted at either end of such roads.*FuelFuel stations along expressways are usually open from 6:00 a.m. to 10pm or midnight. Outside of open hours fuel is commonly available from automatic pumps that accept 10 and 20 SwF(瑞士法郎) notes or credit cards. Many stations accept major charge cards like Visa, MasterCard or American Express. Fuel price ranges from SFr. 1.75.- to 1.95.- depending on the oil price.21.What can you know from the text?A. The mountain roads are wide enough for motor-homes or trucks to go through.B. Travelers should try to save time to cover the places of interest in Switzerland.C. Travelers can ride motor-homes to visit Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt.D. In Switzerland people over 16 are permitted to drive.22.What might NOT be available for travelers to pay fuel in Switzerland?A. Swiss FrancsB. Ali-payC. MasterCardD. American Express23. What type of writing is this text?A. Geography posterB. An activity announcementC. Travel journalD. Travel guideBSince I was first in China in 2012, my life, and China itself, have developed and changed a lot. My first China interaction was in 2012, when I came here with a friend. We traveled from Beijing to Hong Kong, all in 5 weeks. We had a fantastic time meeting local people, exploring beautiful places and eating delicious food. After this experience traveling across China and eating local food, I really wondered “How did I live without eating dumplings and eggplant on a weekly basis?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 22 years!As my Chinese improved during my studies I became more independent and more aware of the possibilities of Waimai, or food home delivery. I suddenly noticed the thousands of Waimai drivers zooming across the roads on their motorcycles. On deep, dark Beijing winter days and rainy days, Waimai is like the holy grail and as I enjoyed my take - away dumplings I would think and laugh to myself, “How did I live before without being able to get Waimai?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 23 years!In mid-2015, I was back in China again for my master's degree. That's when I came across my first Mobike: “Oh, that’s a unique bike and surely it will get stolen soon ”, I thought as I passed on my own black bike. But one week passed and I saw it still there. Then the one Mobike sighting turned into two and three, and soon thousands and then seemingly overnight the streets of Beijing were flooded with orange and yellow wheels. Again, I pondered on how I ever lived without my shared bike account. Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 25 years!China today is a country still steeped in ancient knowledge and custom, yet one that is also bursting with new ideas and changes. Although some things will always stay the same, something else is constantly changing at a pace beyond comprehension. I’m sure as I continue my life here in Beijing I will be swept up in the next new convenience of life that China’s rapid development is bringing out.24.According to the first paragraph, what impressed the author most might be ________.A. Chinese cultureB. Chinese foodC. Chinese peopleD. Chinese history25. The underlined words holy grail in Paragraph 2 probably means________.A. something preciousB. something deliciousC. something expensiveD. something unavailable26. What might be the author’s attitude towards Mobike after it boomed?A. Doubtful.B. CuriousC. Shocked.D. Regretful.27. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Chinese ancient wisdom has been replaced by new ideas.B. China is changing steadily and slowly.C. China will always stay as what it was.D. People in China will live a more convenient life in the future.CWith a starting price of $999, the iPhone X has the highest-price of any iPhone ever offered. Yet Apple said demand for its latest smartphone has so far been "off the charts."One of the most-talked about features of the iPhone X is the new front and back-facing cameras. Apple says its TrueDepth technology greatly improves performance for photographs and video. The camera is also trained to recognize faces and expressions. The company says this gives users power to open up the phone just by looking at it.The new Face ID recognition system replaces the Touch ID on other Apple devices that used a fingerprint to unlock the phone. It works by projecting more than 30,000 dots on the face of users to create a kind of map. An infrared (红外线的) camera then reads these marks to create an image that can be confirmed as having the same appearance.Apple says the system is also designed to continually learn. Each time the face is used to unlock the phone, it is supposed to note any changes, such as facial hair or the person getting older. The system can then remember the changes to keep recognizing the person over time.Reviewers reported successful tests in which the phone recognized the face in different situations and unlocked the device. But most reviewers also said the feature did not work perfectly all the time.One fairly common failure was that the Face ID sometimes did not unlock the iPhone X if the user wore a certain kind of sunglasses. Not surprisingly, wearing any kind of disguise – even one covering just part of the face – caused Face ID to fail. It was found to work correctly when the user was wearing headphones or a hat.Apple has also admitted that Face ID could fail when used with young people who look very much alike. But Apple says its research shows there is only a one in a million chance of another person being able to unlock someone else's iPhone X with Face ID. The company has promised the system will become "the new gold standard" for all facial recognition.28. How can users unlock an iPhone X?A. By using a fingerprint.B. By taking a picture.C. By looking at the iPhone X .D. By recognizing user’s faces.29. From the text, we know the new Face ID recognition ________.A. will recognize users by reading the dots projected on their facesB. will recognize users by using the dots on their facesC. won’t recognize users when they get olderD. is no better than the Touch ID technology30. Users can’t unlock an iPhone X if they wear ________.A. glassesB. masksC. hatsD. headphones31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Young people can’t use the Face ID successfully.B. The system has become “the new gold standard”.C. A million people are using the iPhone X.D. Apple thinks the Face ID system is very successful.DWhen ordering food only takes a few minutes using a smartphone, it’s only natural that food deliveries have become part of college life. However, a university in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region is trying to put a stop to this trend on its campus.On Nov 1, Guangxi University of Foreign Languages banned food delivery services and disposable food boxes, both to its campus and dormitories.The ban immediately received fierce criticism from the university’s students, as well as internet users. Som e complained that the ban made campus canteens very crowded. “There are not enough seats in the canteen, which forces us to eat standing up or squatting,” a student in the university surnamed Tan told Guangxi Television.The crowded canteens also mean that extra time is spent dining, which could have been used to nap during the lunch break. Some even complained that the canteen only provides a few dishes, most of which don’t taste so great.Su Junlv, from the university’s student affairs office, explained that the ban was carried out because off-campus food posed safety risks for students. It’s believed that take-away food had created a serious garbage problem, as there were often a large number of used food boxes found in campus garbage cans after students had finished their meals.According to Su, the ban was also brought in to help students develop a healthy lifestyle. “While food delivery services bring convenience, they let students form some lazy habits,” Su told Xinhua. “They spend a whole day in the dorm playing video games, watching TV soap operas and ordering food online.”However, in the eyes of Liu Junhai, a professor at Renmin University of China, there are other approaches that universities could take to improve their students’ meal times. “Univ ersities should explore how to improve the dining experience in the canteens, such as the queuing and variety of dishes,” he told Xinhua.32. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The convenience brought by food delivery.B. The effect of crowded canteens on students.C. A solution to stop students becoming lazy.D. A ban on food delivery in campus.33. In students’ opinion, what would be caused after the ban was carried out?A. It would take students less time to eat in the canteen.B. Students would enjoy various tasty dishes in the canteen.C. Some students may have their meals without seats in the canteen.D. Students would have a longer nap during lunch break.34. According to Su Junlv, the ban is intended to ________.A. tell the students all off-campus food is unhealthy.B. rid the campus of used food boxes.C. force students to spend less time on entertainment.D. improve the dining experience in the canteens.35. What can we infer about Liu Junhai’s attitude to the ban?A. NegativeB. SupportiveC. IndifferentD. Skeptical第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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。
