It’s really annoying to have a roommate who is untidy in most ways, especially when you always keep everything neat and in order.As I see it, you have three choices. You can find a new flat for yourself, make him find a new one, or have a talk with him and see if you could both be a little less extreme in your attitudes towards housekeeping. I would suggest you start with the third.I sincerely hope that you can solve this problem eventually.Molly第二节：概要写作（满分25分）Nowadays, children spend much time looking at various electronic screens, which has raised people’s concern about their health, especially their eyesight.（要点1）Some experts think doing heavy school work through a screen and lack of natural light can cause children’s short-sightedness.（要点2）However, that leads to a dilemma between protecting eyesight and studying online.（要点3）The increasing number of short-sighted children at early age warns us not to ignore the problem.（要点4）2019学年度 第 一 学 期附：听力原文材料Text 1W: How do I look?M: Not bad.

Have you been away on business?M: No, I’ve been away on holiday. I’ve got a cousin in Edinburgh.Text 3M: It drives me mad when people use their cell phones at the wheel.W: Hmm. What happened?M: I nearly had an accident because the woman was talking on her cell phone while driving and didn’t see the traffic lights turn red. She nearly killed me!Text 4M: Sarah, I’m prepared to run for class monitor, and I’m wondering if I, er…if I can count on your support.W: Oh, maybe if you had asked me sooner, but my roommate’s running, too, and I’ve already promised her that she had my support.Text 5W: Have you bought a new camera again? You’re turning my flat into a camera museum!M: I’ll stop. I’ll try. But I probably can’t. I see a new model and my knees go weak!Text 6W: May I help you, sir?M: Yes, please.

I’ll take it.Text 7W: Have you heard that the boss of the law office where Rick works wants him to fly to Brazil and do a month’s work there?M: That’s nice.

We were actually doing a concert in this bar in Germany.W: Really?M: I was actually about to appear on stage, you know, with the band, and I just thought, “I’ll just go out for a little walk and get some fresh air,” ‘cause I had about a half an hour before we had to go on.W: Uh-huh.M: And I went outside, you know, had a look around, walked around for a bit…and then I decided to go back and, uh, I couldn’t find it! It was about two minutes before we were supposed to start.W: No, you’re joking!M: Yeah! I thought, “Ah! What am I gonna do?”W: Could you ask for directions?M: Well, I tried. I asked this old woman, but she didn’t speak English, and I don’t speak German…W: Don’t you? Oh, right.M: And then, I realized I couldn’t remember the name of the bar, or the street it was on or anything. So, you know, I was in the middle of a town I didn’t know, not knowing the language…and luckily, I saw someon e wearing one of our T-shirts. He was obviously going to the concert, so I sort of followed him back to the bar.W: Wow, that was lucky! Thank goodness!M: And when I got there, the guys were like, “Where have you been? We thought you’d run out on us!” Any way, we managed.Text 10M: Hello. I’m Callum Robertson, and this is London Life. In the program today, let me ask you a question first: What do you think would be the hardest job in Britain? A police officer? Perhaps a deep-sea fisherman? Well, no, according to recent research, being a London taxi driver takes that prize. It’s really a hard job, really difficult. One reason is the traffic. It’s getting worse and worse in London. For most of us, if we have to sit in a traffic jam for a few minutes, we get anxious. But imagine if you had to do that all day, every day as your job. What’s more, passengers get into the taxi and want to get from A to B as quickly as possible. They’re in a hurry, and that makes things worse for the drivers. To prepare for the test, would-be drivers have to remember ways and places of interest around Central London. This is an area which has about 25,000 streets. They need to be able to take passengers from A to B without having to look at a map and without having to ask for directions. It usually takes nearly three years to pass the test, so it is also found in the research that parts of the brains of taxi drivers are actually larger than those in the general population. It seems as if learning all the streets and ways makes a part of the brain grow. Well, anyway, this is a most tiring job. Next time you’re stuck in a traffic jam and feel mad, spare a thought for the taxi drivers, who have to spend most of their working life in them.。

2020-2021学年宁波市余姚中学高三英语期中考试试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AFine art fairs（艺术博览会）are the trend of the 21st century, with new art and antique（古玩）fairs and festivals springing up in diverse parts of the world. Here is a list of four noteworthy art fairs.Art Basel, Basel, SwitzerlandThe granddaddy of art fairs, Art Basel, was established in 1970 by a group of local art gallerists and is the biggest contemporary art fair in the world. Art Basel takes place over a 5-day period each June in Basel, Switzerland. The high cost of renting space for gallery owners is offset（抵消）by the huge attendance at the fair. For example in 2010, about 60,000 visitors attended Art Basel.Frieze Art Fair, London“Frieze Art Fair was established in 2003 and is one of the few fairs to focus only on contemporary art and living artists.v"Thefair takes place every October in Regent's Park, London. It features over 170 of the most exciting contemporary art galleries in the world. ”In addition to the fair which began in 2003, the fair owners Matthew Slotover and Amanda Sharp publish Frieze, an international art magazine established in 1991 and devoted to contemporary art.TEFAF Maastricht, the NetherlandsEstablished in 1975 as The Pictura Fine Art Fair, and renamed The European Fine Art Foundation（TEFAF）, Maastricht in 1996, the fair includes 260 of the world's most famous art and antique dealers from 16 countries.The 24th edition of the TEFAF fair held March 18 — 27, 2011 featured 260 dealers exhibiting approximately 30, 000 artworks and antiques with an overall value of $ US 1. 4 billion.ARCO, MadridARCO Madrid was established in 1982 and is one of Europe's leading and popular art fairs. In addition to the exhibiting galleries（in 2011, 197 international art galleries participated）, a seriesof lectures and specially focused exhibitions take place.1.How does Art Basel cover the expense of renting space?A.By selling tickets.B.By selling expensive exhibits.C.By donation from dealers.D.By support from the government.2.The owners of Frieze Art Fair are also in charge of____.A.170 living artists.B.An international art magazine.C.30,000 artworks and antiques.D.A series of lectures.3.Which of the following has the longest history?A.Art BaselB.Frieze Art FairC.TEFAFD.ARCOBJack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens (young cats) to socialize (交往)with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him”. Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had noissues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he’ll stop. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see. He always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle (摔跤). They’ll lie down in the grass together when tired.Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He doesn’t need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don’t have disabilities; they have adaptability.4. Why did Jack come to the author’s home?A. The author cared for an eyeless cat.B. The author didn’t mind whether he was blind.C. No other young cats kept him company.D. The author’s friend begged the author to take him home.5. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Jack often wrestles with Bear indoors.B. Jack likes to play with a new eyeless cat.C. Jack quickly adapts to the new environment.D. Jack is good at talking and playing with people.6. What does the underlined word “issue” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Trouble.B. Fun.C. Luck.D. Business.7. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. A cat has nine lives.B. All is well that ends well.C. God helps those who help themselves.D. A good beginning makes a good ending.CTeenagers from low-income families in particular are more likely than their middle-class peers（同龄人）to do less well in schoolwork and to drop out of school. Studies have shown, however, that a positive attitude towards schoolwork and the support and encouragement from their parents can help at-risk youngsters to overcome the economic barriersand lack of resources they face. Most of the evidence about the effects of parental involvement （参与）comes from research on mothers. Little is known, however, about how teenagers experience their fathers’ warmth and the beliefs and behavior that are most affected by it.This new study is part of a large one focusing on low-income families conducted in four middle schools in the southwestern United States. Researchers asked 183 sixth-graders about how optimistic and motivated they were about their school work, and how they experienced their fathers' warmth. The students' maths and language arts grades were also gained. The research team took into account the influence that mothers have on their children’s well-being in their analyses.Their findings show how fathers can support their teenagers in ways that result in greater optimism and higher achievement at school. “Low-income fathers affect their teenagers’ beliefs about themselves and their future, and these beliefs influence their achievement by increasing their determination to complete school tasks, “says Dr, Marie-Anne.These positive effects extend to both sons and daughters, although in different ways. Experiencing their fathers’ warmth first influences daughters’sense of optimism, and thenspills overinto their feeling more determined and certain about their academic abilities. This in turn leads to better maths grades. There is a more direct link between their fathers, love and boys' belief in their ability to succeed in academy.8. What is more likely to happen to teenagers from low-income families?A. They will be more determined to struggle.B. They will have fewer happy things to share.C. They will fail in their studies and quit school.D. They will receive less love from their parents.9. How is the new research different from the previous ones?A. It only researches families in the north of America.B. It only studies low-education families in the world.C. It combines questionnaire data and students, grades.D. It mainly focuses on the effects of fathers' involvement.10. What can we know about fathers' warmth?A. It is less effective than that of mothers.B. It affects girls and boys in different ways.C. It mainly applies to girls rather than boys.D. It has a more direct effect on girls thanon boys.11. Which of the following best explains "spills over" underlined in the last paragraph?A. Spreads.B. Changes.C. Bursts.D. Checks.DA North Atlantic right whale calf(幼崽) was discovered dead on the beach of an island off North Carolina. The male newborn was found on North Core Banks, part of the Cape Lookout National Seashore. The reports indicate that the animal died during birth or shortly after, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA). Scientists took DNA to determine the calf’s mother.This is the beginning of the right whale’s reproduction(繁殖) season, which begins mid-November and runs through mid-April.

They will soon be extinct unless something is done to save it, researchers warn. This kind of whale has been experiencing an Unusual Death Event over the past three years, according to NOAA. Since 2017, at least 32 dead and 13 seriously wounded whales have been documented by the organization. “This means more than 10 percent of the remaining population,” according to NOAA.NOAA posted a piece of news on Monday, the same day they announced the calf’s death, warning boaters to be watchful as the whales are migrating(迁徙) nearly 1,000 miles along the Atlantic Coast. The organization calls for boaters to be watchful, slow down and to give these endangered whales plenty of room. They also ask allfishermen to remove their unused nets from the ocean to help avoid possibledamage.12. Why did scientists take DNA of the calf?A. To save its mother.B. To confirm its identity.C. To determine the time of its death.D. To uncover the cause of its death.13. How many right whales are left according to the passage?A. About 40.B. About 50.C. About 400.D. About 500.14. What do we know aboutNorth Atlanticright whales?A. Their reproduction season usually last about half a year.B. They are the rarest marine mammals in the world.C. They are experiencing a high death rate of newborns.D. Their habitat runs nearly 1,000 miles along the coast.15. What’s the main purpose of the news posted on Monday?A. To announce the calf’s unusual death.B. To remind boaters to watch the whales.C. To protect the boats against the whales.D. To assist the whales’ seasonal migration.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

That question is not difficult to answer if we change the word poetry to songs.I sing when I feel good. When I sing my favorite songs, I feel even better. Sometimes when I am listening to music and to the song words, I feel that it was written for me. A good song always makes me feel something. There are songs that I sing in my head between classes and songs that I want to sing when the school bell rings by the end of the day. They help me get through the day.They are like bright and warm colors in the middle of grays and shades. I like songs about love and friendship. The extraordinary thing is that my feelings are more special when I sing my favorite songs in English.I also like reading. I used to avoid poetry until an e-friend told me I should recite poems and not look up the meaning of the words. Poetry uses many difficult words and idioms, but the best thing is to just forget about them. In the beginning I felt quite strange. Now I always lock the door. Reading aloud gives you a strange feeling, but when you have some practice and fall into the rhythm, and the sounds of the words, it is really a special experience.I started with small poems, but now I think I most like long poems. I have differentfeelings with different poems. When I have had a bad day at school, I read Keats and forget everything. When I am sad I read Wordsworth by the light of a candle. When the poem is finished, I close the book and my sadness is gone.4．Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence? A．Songs are like different colors in different times.B．Songs can help people better understand colors.C．Songs can describe a mixture of different colors.D．Songs can bring people warmth and comfort.5．What we can infer from the passage is that______.A．the writer likes singing songs aloud at any timeB．songs and poems can help get over bad emotionsC．the writer’s native language is EnglishD．the writer like songs better than poems6．What can we know about the poems of Keats and Wordsworth through the passage? A．Keats’ poems are full of bad feelings.B．Wordsworth’s poems contain much sad description.C．Both of their poetry can create positive feelings.D．The themes of their poems are not different at all.The first Ferris wheel was built for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The people who planned the fair were looking for an attraction that would bring people to Chicago. The Eiffel Tower had been a great success for the fair in Pairs in 1889, and they wanted something like that.George Ferris handed in drawings of a giant wheel that people could ride on. At first everyone laughed at his strange idea. But Mr. Ferris didn’t give up, and finally the idea was accepted. The ride opened in June of 1893.That first wheel had thirty six enclosed cars, each holding sixty passengers. When filled it carried 2,160 people. During that summer in Chicago one and a half million people rode the Ferris wheel, which was named after Ferris. Six platforms were used to pick up and drop off passengers. Each ride was two full turns of the wheel. On the first turn, it made six stops for loading. Then the second turn was a nonstop nine-minute ride. Each car had five large glass windows in front and in back, giving everyone a great view of Chicago and Lake Michigan.After the fair the ride was moved to a nearby amusement park built especially to show off the wheel. In 1904 it was moved again—this time to St. Louis for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. After the fair in St. Louis closed, the wheel stood unused. In 1906 it was finally sold to a company for scrap(废弃材料）metal. It took 200 pounds of dynamite to bring it down.Fortunately a Chicago bridge builder, W. E. Sullivan, figured out how to make a smaller Ferris wheel that could easily be taken apart and put together. In 1906 he started the company that still makes many of the Ferris wheels used today.But whenever you ride one remember that it all began with Georg e Ferris’ very strange idea.7．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Large designs are more successful than small ones.B．Riding a Ferris wheel is the best way to travel around the world.C．World fairs attracted millions of visitors to Chicago from all around the world. D．Ferris’ design was so successful that Ferris wheels are still around today.8．The first Ferris wheel was mainly built to .A．make George Ferris well-known worldwide.B．attract visitors to an event in Chicago.C．match the Eiffel Tower in ParisD．bring fun to people in Chicago9．What does the author think of George Ferris?A．He showed great creativity in the Ferris wheel design.B．His Ferris wheel design was impractical.C．He was a leader in the amusement industry.D．He did a lot better than W.E.Sullivan.10．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A．To persuade the reader to ride a Ferris wheel.B．To describe the success of the 1893 World’s Fair.C．To inform the reader about the first Ferris wheel ever built.D．To entertain the reader with a story about World Fairs in the US.二、七选五Social media and the mobile web have given rise to a strange phenomenon called the selfie(自拍). It refers to a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social networking website.11．Some selfies are extreme close-ups(特写镜头), and others show part of an arm held straight outward. A few of them even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror.Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seems to be especially involved in the trend. Young people are relatively heavier digital users. They are interested in staying connected to their friends. 12．.There are also kinds of psychological (心理上的)actors driving people to take a selife and upload it to a social networking site. 13．. A quick and easy way to attract other’s attention is to get “likes” and comments from friends. Secondly, it’s human nature to show off your own great achievements. When you feel good about yourself or look good, it’s far too easy to take out your phone and document it all through one or several selfies. 14．That’s right. Sometimes people are bored at work, bored at school, bored at home and even bored on the toilet. Last but not least, social media is about being social. If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so it be. It’s fun, and it’s a cool way to sort of document your own life.Finally, there are things to be mindful of when you’re posting. It’s easy to think you’re sharing a photo with a few people. 15．So don’t post anything online, selife especially. A．There are lots of selfie styles.B．The rise of selfies has become universal.C．Social media, to some extent, is the driving force of their selife activity.D．The desire to take, post and get “likes” on selfies goes back to a biological behavior.E.But the whole world of social media is public and every individual can get access to it.F.There are also people who will take selfies because they have nothing else better to doG.The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible.三、完形填空Life is a series of choices and we can’t always foresee the consequences.Harry Saleen, an obese man with too much money and power, faced a(n) 16 .

Jack’s parent s sent him off to see the school headmaster. He wasn’t sure why. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that he was being bullied (欺凌) by some of the other kids at school, or that he wasn’t doing very well in his schoolwork.The school headmaster said, “Jack, what you need to do is find what you are good at and then build on that.” But he couldn’t think of anything he was good at.When he got home from school, he kicked off his shoes. “My goodness,” exclaimed his father, holding his nose, “you’re sure good at creating smelly feet.” His mother added, “If you were as g ood at anything else, you could conquer the world.” Jack wanted to protest that his feet didn’t smell, but he just gave up and went to his bedroom. Mrs. Meow, his cat, walked up to him, sniffed his feet andwalking back to put his feet under her nose. She passed out again. That night he went to sleep thinking about the headmaster’s words and the sufferings from two elder bullies .In the morning he woke up with an idea for an experiment. The next few days he went without changing his socks. He ran a lot, especially on hot days when his feet would get sweaty. He avoided showering, just running the water for a wh ile and wetting his hair to make his mother think he’d washed. He didn’t want to spoil the effect. He wore his s neakers to bed at night until he thought it was time for the experiment.In his room, he lay on his bed, took his socks off, looked at his clock, and then held the socks to his nose. As was expected，he passed out immediately. Exactly 53 minutes and 27 seconds later, he woke up. It worked! The smelly socks could knock a boy out, just like they had Mrs. Meow. Knowing that he had the best tool to pr otect himself and wouldn’t be bullied by others any longer, he waited for the right day.注意:1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;3. 续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好;4. 续写完成后, 请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
